Sarkozy: "Evropa ne sme ostati pasivna"
Sarkozy to the European Parliament: "Europe cannot be condemned to inaction"
Francoski predsednik je predstavil program predsedovanja Francoski predsednik Nicolas Sarkozy je ob začetku polletnega predsedovanja Svetu EU v četrtek dopoldne Evropskemu parlamentu predstavil program vodenja Unije.
Sarkozy to the European Parliament: "Europe can not be condemned to inaction" French President Sarkozy told MEPs on Thursday that enlargement would only be possible with the Lisbon Treaty and new institutional arrangements.
V nastopu je tudi povedal, da je širitev EU nemogoča brez Lizbonske pogodbe.
He said "we all have a heavy responsibility", namely "to get Europe out of its crisis".
Parlament ima nalogo, da pomaga preseči trenutno krizo, Evropejcem pa je treba zagotoviti, da bo Evropa delovala za vse.
In his opening remarks to MEPs in Strasbourg, President Sarkozy told the House "we all have a heavy responsibility", namely "to get Europe out of its crisis".
Evropejci so zaskrbljeni ob globalizaciji in drugih procesih, zato jih je treba v zvezi s tem pomiriti.
He also strongly emphasised that without Lisbon there could be no further enlargement: enlargement required new institutions.
Glede vprašanja ratifikacije Lizbonske pogodbe in irske referendumske zavrnitve je francoski predsednik odločno dejal:
And while he himself favoured the accession of the Balkan countries - since they were "unquestionably European" - people could not say "no" to Lisbon and also demand enlargement to include these countries.
"Sam podpiram Evropo, ki se upira paralizi delovanja.
The president also rejected the view that "it doesn't matter if we have a multi-speed Europe", saying this would be "a last resort".
Resda smo soočeni s problemom institucij in ne smemo priganjati naših irskih prijateljev, toda obenem bo treba vedeti, na podlagi katere pogodbe bodo izvedene evropske volitve 2009 - to bo ali Lizbona ali Nica.
In his view "everyone must be on board in the European family".
Že 21. julija grem na Irsko, kjer bom poslušal argumente, se pogovarjal in poskušali bomo najti rešitve.
Protection, energy and climate change
Francosko predsedstvo bo predlagalo način izhoda in upam, da bomo našli odgovor bodisi do oktobra, bodisi do decembra.
Turning to the French presidency's other priorities, Mr Sarkozy first argued that Europeans had a right to expect "protection" from Europe but that this need not mean "protectionism".
Ne bo pa nove medvladne konference in niti nove pogodbe.
He then spoke of the energy and climate package, saying "we are the last generation that can prevent disaster".
Evropa dveh hitrosti je lahko le skrajna rešitev."
This could only be done if nations agreed to join forces, and "Europe must set the example".
V zvezi s širitvijo Unije je Sarkozy dejal, da Evropa rabi novo pogodbo prav zato, saj je pogodba iz Nice, ki je trenutno v veljavi, narejena za 27 članic.
He believed immigration and asylum must be debated at European level, citing the problem of asylum seekers who can lodge 27 separate applications EU-wide.
Pogajanja se bodo sicer nadaljevala, toda ob tem ne sme biti nesporazuma: Unija na širitev ne bo pripravljena.
On agriculture, Mr Sarkozy believed that common sense must prevail: in 2050 there would be 9 billion people in the world.
O prednostnih nalogah je predsedujoči Svetu EU dejal, da je sprejem energetsko-podnebnega svežnja nujnost, saj smo zadnja generacija, ki lahko prepreči katastrofo.
"This is not the time to scale down Europe's food production", he argued.
Prav tako bi bilo treba razvijati zamisel o evropski obrambi, ki pa nikakor ne pomeni konkurence zvezi NATO.
For example, he could not accept that football clubs which trained up young players should see their efforts destroyed.
Politiko priseljevanja in azila je zato treba oblikovati na evropski ravni.
Turning to monetary policy, he maintained that it was fair to ask "what is the right monetary strategy?" and "what is the right exchange rate policy?".
Skupna kmetijska politika ostaja po Sarkozyjevem mnenju nujnost.
He was not challenging the independence of the Central Bank but he wanted a more open debate on certain issues.
Svetovno prebivalstvo narašča, leta 2050 bo ljudi že 9 milijard in pridelave hrane ne gre zmanjševati.
New challenges - like the scarcity of fossil fuels and climate change - required common solutions, said Mr Barroso.
Ob tem je podal primer: "Na svetu zaradi lakote vsakih 30 sekund umre otrok.
"We also need to reform our economies, step up competitiveness and invest in research and education," he said.
Je torej smiselno zahtevati zmanjšanje evropske kmetijske proizvodnje, če na svetu obstaja pomanjkanje osnovnih živil?"
"We are first trading power in world, but need courage to change if we want to protect ourselves."
Na koncu je francoski predsednik povedal, da bo na dnevni red francoskega vodenja Unije dodal še nekaj elementov, med drugim raziskave alzheimerjeve bolezni.
This was a challenging time: with the Irish 'no' vote, a difficult world economic situation, prices of oil and food going up in an inflationary push going which was a big enemy of social justice: "Those on low wages suffer most."
Med predsedovanjem naj bi se v Franciji sestali strokovnjaki za to bolezen iz vseh članic EU in poskušali oblikovati podlago za skupne ukrepe za nove raziskave in boj na tem področju medicine.
Having just returned from the G8 summit in Japan, Mr Barroso noted the contrast between the gloom often expressed within EU and the external view of Europe: "Outside, the EU is seen as positive, an important and decisive player with importance on the world stage."
Dodal je, da najrevnejše države sveta rabijo evropsko pomoč, to pa je priložnost za oblikovanje solidarnosti med kmetovalci Evrope in Afrike, kjer bosta skupna kmetijska politika in politika razvojne pomoči delovale vzajemno.
It was clear that the poorest countries needed European aid: "This is why we can create an example of solidarity between European and African farmers, the Common Agricultural Policy and development policy working in tandem."
Zavzel se je tudi za enotno politiko priseljevanja, ki bo upoštevala potrebe starajoče se Evrope, pomanjkanje določenih poklicev in spodbujala integracijo.
"We should look at what immigration we need, what an aging Europe needs and where there are skills shortages, but we also need to make sure that dignified integration can take place."
Obenem pa bo treba kaznovati delodajalce, ki zaposlujejo ilegalne delavce, ne pa groziti njim, ki so že sicer v težkem socialnem položaju.
"We should penalise employers who employ illegal workers, not threatening those who are already poor enough, but penalising those who exploit their labour."
Barroso je zaključil z mislijo: "Prva naloga politikov je, da se soočijo s težavami in podvojijo svoja prizadevanja za njihovo rešitev.
"We need to be firm on illegal immigration, but also show solidarity with migrant communities who are integrating and wanting to work hard."
Skupaj lahko naredimo ogromno, če evropske institucije delujejo z roko v roki, imamo pravi recept za skupni uspeh, ki smo ga dolžni evropskim državljanom.
We can do a great deal together, with the institutions of Europe working hand in hand - this is the key to joint success we owe to citizens of Europe.
Skupaj lahko najdemo konkretne rešitve za konkretne probleme."
We can Identify together concrete solutions to concrete problems," concluded the Commission President.
Gre zlasti za najgloblja vprašanja, kar najbolje ponazarja irska zavrnitev.
We hope after a period of reflection Ireland will put forward suggestions out of impasse.
Treba je delati na obrambi naših interesov, tudi promoviranju socialnega modela in evropske specifičnosti.
On migration, it was time to debate the subject and decide on positive, humane and responsible results.
Prav tako bo to potrebno, ko obravnavamo prioritete.
The Pact proposed by France was, he said, a step in the right direction.
Tu so vprašanja, kot so podnebje, migracije, varna prehrana, energetika - sprejeti odločitve do decembra celo za ceno, da zahtevamo enako tudi od mednarodnih partnerjev. (...)
On food security, it was important to help the most vulnerable in world and poorest in the Member States, and how, he asked "can Europe be credible without defence policy worthy of the name?"
Evropska integracija je nekaj, kar je političnega značaja in zaupam predsedstvu, da nas bo spodbujalo in pokazalo potreben pogum."
"If we have the courage to make clear political choices our citizens will discover again that they do like Europe," concluded the EPP-ED group leader.
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE): "Omenili ste podnebne spremembe in Lizbonsko pogodbo.
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) singled out two priorities for the next six months: the Climate Change package and the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon.
Da, če hočemo pokazati rezultate, moramo imeti orodja.
He stressed the need for increased transparency, democracy and a greater role for national Parliaments.
Državljani zahtevajo več vpliva, toda vsakič, ko jim hočemo to dati, nam vzamejo orodje, s katerim bi jim to lahko dali.
He deplored the stalling of the Lisbon Treaty "at the moment when we need a new instrument".On Social Europe, he described as a "mistake" the idea that social questions could be dealt with on a national basis.
Obstajajo točke, kjer smo drugačnega mnenja.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK) said: "The decision by Irish voters to reject the Lisbon Treaty has made your impressively-prepared presidency more problematic.
Omenili ste štiri prednostne naloge, pričakoval sem jih pet.
It has also made the case for a practical, problem-solving Europe stronger than ever."
Omenili ste socialno Evropo.
The energy and climate change packages become more urgent every day.
Rekli ste, da je to naloga držav članic in to se mi zdi huda napaka.
Capping VAT on fuel is a short-term sop."
Jasno bom povedal: pričakujemo drugačen pristop.
Europe should be tackling the long-term rise in fuel prices, and tackling global warming.
Socialna Evropa ne pomeni, da hočemo ustvariti nek evropski socialni urad.
We need substantial investment in renewable energy, as Commissioner Piebalgs has urged.
Ljudje so dolgo časa mislili, da je gospodarski napredek možen, 50 let smo delali na tem, da je gospodarski napredek pripeljal do rasti in več delovnih mest, a danes imajo ljudje ravno obraten občutek - da gospodarski napredek koristi le velikim podjetjem, koncernom, zavarovalnicam, bankam, ne pa njim.
Small-scale and localised to keep individual household bills down in the long-term; and large scale, such as using our new Union for the Mediterranean to invest in high voltage solar thermal power production in North Africa.
To je naloga EU: da Evropejcem povemo in pokažemo, da to pomaga tudi njim. (...)
To stabilise food prices we need good ideas, such as the recent CAP reforms of Commissioner Fischer Boel.
Vem, da ste pogumen mož, zato podprite tudi naše prioritete - podnebne spremembe in socialne pravice."
The truth is that people care more about the petrol price and the bread bill than about the grand aims of our Union.
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK): "Irski NE je vaše dobro pripravljeno predsedovanje postavil v težaven položaj.
Today no-one should say, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."
Sveženj podnebnih sprememb je vsak dan bolj nujen, omejevanje DDV je kratkoročna rešitev.
The presidency is also right to focus on migration.
Da zagotovimo varnost v okviru naših meja, moramo delovati tudi zunaj njih.
There is another way in which this presidency can break new ground.
Francija nam je dala človekove pravice, zdaj pa mora prevzeti vodilni položaj pri njihovi zaščiti."
Human rights are core to the European ideal.
Strasbourg je simbol miru in evropska zastava ob nacionalnih zastavah bi morala ta simbolizem prenesti na vse državljane.
By using the Union for the Mediterranean to press North African countries on their human rights record.
To je nekaj, kar nam v novi pogodbi še manjka.
And by ensuring that China meets its commitments.
Ne moremo spoštovati pravic, če ne bomo spoštovali določenih nalog in obveznosti.
To bring citizens closer to the institutions, Europe needs to "refresh its soul" with common roots, values, and ambitions said Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT) adding that the forest of flags outside the Parliament building were symbolic of what citizens share.
Po eni strani so tu prednosti, na primer, da ne rečejo, da je v Evropi vse najboljše in da mora nadaljevati po tej poti, ko pa vse več ljudi meni, da ne gre dobro.
Mr Wurtz ,nonetheless, felt that Mr Sarkozy had "ignored the social dimension", and pointed out that ,like it or not, national social policies would be affected by European Court of Justice rulings.
Kritizirali ste način delovanja ECB, hkrati pa se nikoli ne zavzemate za spremembo njenega statuta.
It is economically-ruined by social liberalism; it has no proper defence forces and is just an American protectorate; and it is being held hostage by federalism…The NO votes to the Constitution and treaties should be a warning."
Potrebno se je zavzeti za enakost, pravno enakost.
"If freedom of choice are your guiding principles, the Conservative Party will stand by your side in this presidency," he said.
Po sodišču na primer za enako delo na istem gradbišču bo delavec iz ene članice plačan polovico manj kot na primer nemški."
And this should be the case for the Working Time Directive and for the Temporary Agency Workers Directive.
Philippe DE VILLIERS (IND/DEM, FR): "Ljudje mora se v vsakodnevnem življenju soočati s posledicami politike iz Bruslja, Frankfurta in Francije.
Finally, Mr Bushill-Matthews urged the President to respect the choice of the people of Ireland, 'not as a problem to be addressed, but as an opportunity for Europe to reconnect with the people".
Kupna moč se manjša, kratijo se jim svoboščine, vedno bolj so obdavčeni, prizadene pa jih tudi priseljevanje.
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) said the new presidency needs to "meet the challenges head on" but stressed that "the complexity of the world today is far more varied than what one single ideology or plan can give us".
Rekli ste, da temu ne morete pomagati in da to obžalujete.
Concerning President Sarkozy's plans for the Lisbon Treaty, Mr Crowley said the Irish No vote is "not just a problem with Ireland's relationship with Europe, but is reflective of a deeper problem between Europe and its citizens".
Skrajni čas je, da ukrepamo, da besede prevedemo v dejanja. (...)
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) said the priorities of the French presidency "says that you want an EU that controls every single aspect of our lives and that you want us to be isolated from the world", and demonstrates an "arrogance of saying that you would know best when it comes to the EU".
Vedno znova se pritožujete nad posledicami tega, kar v bistvu vsak dan podpirate.
Addressing the Irish No vote, Mr Farage said it shows that "the people of Europe do not want a more integrated EU" and "to try to ratify the treaty through the backdoor... would be showing an utter contempt for democracy".
Gre za razlastitev držav, kjer so samo bankirji in sodniki tisti, ki odločajo.
In his response to the debate, Commission President BARROSO congratulated President Sarkozy on his resolve and enthusiasm, which he said he was sure would be shown throughout the French Presidency.
Vaše predsedovanje je edinstvena priložnost za to, da evropsko pot spet spravimo na pot demokracije.
It was at difficult times that political capabilities and strong political will were most important.
Ni ljudstvo tisto, ki se mora spraviti z Brusljem, Bruselj se mora spraviti z ljudmi!"
Europe, he said, was different from national political systems where there was not question about the legitimacy of political leaders.
Že leta 1957 smo glasovali proti rimski pogodbi, ko so takrat ustvarjali ta babilonski stolp.
Among his responses to the debate, Mr Sarkozy commented on his own decision to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Že od samega začetka temu nasprotujem.
The world needed China's help with problems such as Darfur and Iran.
Pravijo, da globalizacija povzroča temeljite spremembe in da se je treba prilagoditi, vsi pa se tudi naslanjajo na patriotizem.
To Philip Bushill-Matthews, he said "Europe needs the United Kingdom" and if Britain has "one foot in and one foot out, Europe is weakened".
Ko so ljudje demoralizirani pred projektom, ki ne deluje in ko istočasno prihaja do valov priseljevanja, ki tudi imajo pomembne posledice, prihaja do izgube suverenosti, identitete, kulture.
To Nigel Farage, he said "You don't want a common ID card or a common immigration policy" and yet "you were happy for France to close Sangatte".
Ni rasti, zaposlitev, ni blagostanja."
But, he argued, "France can't solve all Britain's immigration problems", and in his view there was a clear case for a common immigration and asylum policy.
Resolucija o odnosih s Kitajsko
Parliament welcomes positive developments in EU-China relations, remains concerned about human rights abuses
Evropski parlament v skupni resoluciji pozitivno ocenjuje razvoj odnosov med Evropsko unijo in Kitajsko, zlasti na področjih sektorskega dialoga in sodelovanja pri obravnavanju različnih svetovnih tem.
A European Parliament resolution adopted on Thursday "expresses satisfaction at the developments in EU-China relations, the sectoral dialogues and the closer cooperation on various globalised issues."
Kitajske oblasti so se ustrezno odzvale na zunanjo pomoč pri reševanju posledic potresa v Sečuanu, poslanci pa so hkrati izrazili zaskrbljenost nad številnimi in sistematičnimi kršenji človekovih pravic v državi.
It commends China's reaction to the recent earthquake in Sichuan, but "deplores the fact that China's human rights record remains a matter for concern owing to widespread and systematic human rights abuses."
Resolucija, ki so jo evropski parlamentarci na četrtkovem zasedanju sprejeli s 439 glasovi za, 51 proti in 139 vzdržanimi glasovi, poudarja, da morajo kitajske oblasti upoštevati dejstvo, da opozarjanje pred potresi predstavlja referenčni standard za razvoj države.
The resolution, adopted by (439-51-139) "calls on the Chinese authorities to bear in mind that earthquake warnings constitute one benchmark of the development of a country," stressing that future scientific warnings should be heeded if they forecast another natural disaster in China.
Tibet in človekove pravice
Tibet and human rights
Poslanci pa obenem obžalujejo, da kitajske oblasti po marčnih v Tibetu še vedno pridržujejo protestnike iz Lhase.
Nevertheless, MEPs also deplore the fact that "participants in the protest in Lhasa [are] still being traced, detained and arbitrarily arrested," and calls on China to "halt its ‘patriotic re-education’ campaign."
Državo pozivajo, naj v času olimpijskih iger ustavi kampanjo za "domoljubno prevzgojo".
Parliament urges the Chinese authorities to display clemency to all political prisoners and human rights activists who are currently in jail, and to stop practices of discrimination and harassment.
Parlamentarci obsojajo pogosto izvajanje smrtne kazni in pozivajo kitajske oblasti, naj uvedejo moratorij za usmrtitve ter pomilostijo vse politične zapornikov in zagovornikov človekovih pravic.
It "condemns China's frequent use of the death penalty and calls on the Chinese authorities to establish a moratorium on executions."
Olimpijske igre
Beijing Olympics
Resolucija poziva Kitajsko k spoštovanju zaveze, dane Mednarodnemu olimpijskemu komiteju, da bo spoštovala človekove in manjšinske pravice, demokratična načela ter vladavino prava.
The resolution "calls on China to abide by the public commitments which it made with regard to human rights and minority rights, democracy and the rule of law and which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced when it decided to allow China to host the Olympic Games."
Predsednik Evropskega parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering je na sredinem zasedanju izjavil, da se zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih oblasti s predstavniki dalajlame ne bo udeležil otvoritve olimpijskih iger 8. avgusta v Pekingu.
The President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering, announced yesterday that he will not be attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing, due to the lack of progress in talks between Chinese authorities and representatives of the Dalai Lama.
Francoski državni sekretar za evropske zadeve, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, pa je potrdil, da bo francoski predsednik Nicolas Sarkozy prisostvoval otvoritvi tudi v imenu Unije kot predsedujoči Svetu EU.
At the same time, during Wednesday afternoon's debate, the French State Secretary for European Affairs Jean-Pierre Jouyet announced that after consultations with his colleagues in the European Council, French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be attending the event, representing both France and the EU as the holder of the current EU presidency.
Strateški dokument Komisije o širitvi za leto 2007
Public support, good neighbourhood policy and greater institutional efficiency needed for continued success in EU enlargement
Poslanci pa so poudarili, da je za širitev treba pripraviti tudi celovito komunikacijsko strategijo, ki bi kandidatke obveščala o procesu pridruževanja, države članice pa o prednostih razširjene Unije.
It also says that more substantive policies are needed to bridge the gap between the Union’s neighbourhood and enlargement policies.
Poročevalec Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, DE) ugotavlja, da so bile pretekle širitve Unije, tako za stare kot tudi za nove članice, zelo uspešne, saj so spodbujale gospodarsko rast, družbeni napredek in prispevale k miru.
The own-initiative report by Elmar Brok (EPP-ED, DE) notes that “past enlargements have been a great success, benefiting the old as well as the new EU Member States.”
Za zagotovitev pričakovanj državljanov in preživetje Unije pa bi morala vsaki širitvi slediti ustrezna konsolidacija in politična koncentracija, ki bi vključevala ponovno presojo skupnih politik in sredstev.
At the same time, it recalls “that every enlargement must be followed by adequate consolidation and political concentration” within the Union itself, if the EU is to be able to continue functioning effectively.
Širitvena strategija Unije
Defining the Union’s “integration capacity”
- države pristopnice bi morale večati, ne pa zmanjševati sposobnosti Unije za ohranjanje zagona za izpolnitev svojih političnih ciljev;
The report insists that for future enlargements, “the Union must make efforts to strengthen its integration capacity.”
Širitvena strategija mora vzpostaviti ravnotežje med geostrateškimi interesi Unije in vplivi političnih dogodkov zunaj njenih meja.
Members are also “convinced that any acceding State should resolve its main internal problems, particularly concerning its territorial and constitutional set-up, before it can join the Union.”
Parlamentarci poudarjajo, da je treba za povečanje uspešnosti, družbene kohezije in okrepitve demokratične odgovornosti, izvesti tudi potrebne reforme same EU.
MEPs note that the EU’s "integration capacity is linked with the Union’s ability at a given point in time to decide and thus to achieve its political objectives,” and define the term "integration capacity" as having four elements: accession states should contribute to and not impair the EU's political objectives, its institutions should be efficient and effective, its financial resources should be adequate, and a communication strategy should be set up to inform public opinion about the implications of enlargement.
Države kandidatke pa si morajo pred pridružitvijo prizadevati k rešitvi notranjih vprašanj, kot so ozemeljska in ustavna ureditev.
Bridging the gap between neighbours and tenants
Tudi zato bi bilo treba vzpostaviti območje skupnih politik za tiste vzhodne sosede, ki trenutno nimajo možnosti za članstvo, vendar pa izpolnjujejo določene pogoje na področju demokracije in gospodarstva.
Nevertheless, it argues that there is a conceptual and legal gap between the European neighbourhood policy and the Union’s enlargement policy, which needs to be bridged.
