Spremenjena pravila o opravljanju javnih potniških storitev
More choice of package sizes for shoppers
Po šestih letih pogajanj s Svetom EU je Evropski parlament v četrtek v drugem branju potrdil dopolnjeni predlog uredbe o javnih storitvah železniškega in cestnega potniškega prevoza.
Parliament gave qualified backing on 10 May to the Council's common position on a proposal to deregulate pack sizes for pre-packed products.
Spremenjena so predvsem pravila o sklepanju pogodb o izvajanju javne službe: razveljavljena je stara evropska uredba, različna državna pravila o konkurenčnosti v javnem sektorju pa naj bi nadomestila nova skupna zakonodaja.
Once the legislation is implemented, it will be possible to sell many everyday consumer products in a wider range of sizes than at present.
Uredba bo določala pravila za sklepanje pogodb med lokalnimi oblastmi in izvajalci storitev ter opredelila nadomestila izvajalcem za opravljanje javnih storitev, zakonodaja pa naj bi omogočala tudi večjo konkurenčnost in boljšo preglednost.
By deregulating current rules for all but a few basic product groups, the EU is aiming to maximise competition and provide more freedom of choice for consumers.
Dopolnila, ki jih je sprejel parlament, so usklajena s Svetom EU, ki bo tako verjetno kmalu potrdil končno besedilo uredbe.
The legislation will permit industry to produce goods in a potentially infinite range of sizes by preventing Member States from legislating on pack sizes other than those still regulated by European law.
Notranji izvajalec Notranji izvajalec javnih storitev je sicer pravno ločen subjekt, nad katerim pristojni organ izvaja nadzor, ki je primerljiv z nadzorom, ki ga izvaja nad svojimi službami.
For some products (e.g. wine, spirits) total harmonisation was introduced: Community sizes were made mandatory for everyone, i.e. all national sizes were abolished.
Podizvajalci Razpisna dokumentacija in pogodbe o izvajanju javne službe morajo biti pregledni glede tega, ali in v kakšnem obsegu je mogoče sklepanje pogodb s podizvajalci.
Given changes in the retail industry and consumer preferences, the European Union has taken a fresh look at the situation.
V primeru podizvajanja mora izvajalec opraviti prevladujoči del storitev javnega potniškega prevoza sam.
The aim of the new directive is to relax the rules on pack sizes in general while keeping standard sizes for a limited range of products.
Pri pogodbi, katere predmet so hkrati načrtovanje, vzpostavitev in izvajanje storitev javnega potniškega prevoza, je možno sklepanje podizvajalskih pogodb za izvajanje teh storitev.
In its draft legislation, the European Commission proposed retaining mandatory EU sizes for a handful of goods (spirits, wines, soluble coffee, white sugar and most products sold in aerosols).
V primeru, da se pogodba o izvajanju javne službe sklene neposredno z malim in srednje velikim podjetjem, ki upravlja največ 23 vozil , se te zgornje meje lahko povišajo bodisi do povprečne letne vrednosti, ocenjene na manj kot 2 milijona evrov ali manj kot letno 600 000 kilometrov storitev javnega potniškega prevoza.
In its common position, the Council rejected Parliament's amendments, instead setting a transitional period of five years for phasing out existing national rules on sizes for domestic producers of milk, butter, coffee, dried pasta and rice, and six years for white sugar.
Trajanje pogodb in začetek izvajanja uredbe Pogodba za opravljanje storitev javnega potniškega prevoza bo lahko sklenjena za obdobje 10 let.
Voting today on the second-reading report by Jacques TOUBON (EPP-ED, FR), Parliament decided to accept most of these provisions but - following up on an issue vigorously pushed by British MEPs - spelt out the fact that existing sizes for pre-packed products (such as pre-packed bread) "will not be affected by this directive and can continue to be used".
Uredba bo začela veljati dve leti po objavi v uradnem listu.
All the institutions agree that mandatory sizes should continue to apply to wines and spirits.

Parliament would also like the Commission to revisit the legislation at a later date in the light of market developments.

Manj pravil za embalažo – večja izbira za potrošnike
EU funding for better housing?
Parlament je v drugem branju postopka soodločanja potrdil skupno stališče Sveta o predlogu direktive, ki naj bi poenostavila predpise o velikosti embalaže za prehrambene in druge izdelke na skupnem trgu.
But in the new Member States, EU funding is already available to help with housing renovation and redevelopment and this possibility should be considered from 2009 for old Member States, too.
Priporočilo je pripravil poslanec Jacques TOUBON (EPP-ED, FR) iz odbora za notranji trg in varstvo potrošnikov.
So says an own-initiative report by Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT), which Parliament endorsed with 469 votes in favour, 38 against and 46 abstentions on 10 May 2007.
Teoretično bi lahko proizvajalci tako ponudili na trgu izdelke v kakršnikoli velikosti embalaže, države članice pa ne bi smele predpisovati drugih velikosti, razen tistih, dovoljenih z evropsko zakonodajo.
Although the EU has no specific powers over housing, the European Regional Development Fund regulation for 2007-2013 would allow structural aid for housing in urban (re-)development projects, in areas of the new Member States that are threatened by physical deterioration or social exclusion, says the report.
Sicer tehnično besedilo zakonodajnega predloga dejansko zadeva vse proizvode široke porabe in torej vsakdanje življenje potrošnikov Unije.
This EU funding could help to revive urban areas with an integrated mix of measures to redevelop public areas, improve safety and prevent delinquency, and use water and energy more efficiently.
Poslanci menijo, da je treba zato najti pravo ravnotežje med prostim pretokom blaga, varstvom potrošnikov in stroški proizvodnje, ki malim in srednjim podjetjem omogočajo, da ostanejo konkurenčna.
For fifteen countries that were in the EU before 2004, the report seeks to reopen debate on "extending access to Community funds for renovation of social housing to all Member States, in order to save energy and protect the environment, currently foreseen only for certain countries, given that housing needs are critical throughout Europe."
V prvem branju je parlament podprl namero Komisije, da bi obvezne velikosti embalaže ostale le še za vino, žgane pijače, kavo v prahu, beli sladkor in izdelke v razpršilcih.
Structural fund aid should form part of an integrated strategy on housing, so as to ensure that any steps to promote access to housing, improve building quality, improve the quality of life and enhance the attractiveness of urban and rural environments are taken simultaneously.
Poslanci pa so želeli ohraniti obvezne velikosti embalaže tudi za mleko, maslo, zmleto praženo kavo ali kavo v zrnu, testenine, riž in rjavi sladkor.
The report advocates, inter alia, identifying EU-wide minimum quality indicators defining "adequate housing" strengthening the right to housing benefit so as to ease worker mobility and giving cities a greater role in planning and managing the use of structural funds for housing projects
Drugo branje – obvezne velikosti ostajajo v prehodnem obdobju Svet je v skupnem stališču zavrnil parlamentarna dopolnila in predlaga prehodno obdobje petih let v katerem lahko države, ki uporabljajo obvezne količine za mleko, testenine, maslo in kavo, te ohranijo, preden začnejo uvajati popolno deregulacijo količin pakiranja teh proizvodov.
It also encourages the EIB group and the Commission to establish a strategy for boosting the building sector, chiefly in the new Member States, which would constitute structural aid for developing housing and mobilise local and regional resources geared to urban projects.
Edina izjema bi ostal beli sladkor: prehodno obdobje za vso Unijo bi trajalo šest let .

Petdeset let Euratoma
Human rights must be a core principle of EU-Russia relations say MEPs
Poročilo na lastno pobudo, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Eugenijus MALDEIKIS (UEN, LT) in ga je Evropski parlament v četrtek sprejel s 406 glasovi za, 175 proti in 44 vzdržanimi glasovi, ugotavlja, da je Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti za atomsko energijo, podpisana 25. marca 1957, še vedno izčrpen in skladen pravni okvir za varno uporabo jedrske energije v Evropi v korist vseh držav članic.
Russia remains an important partner for Europe, especially in energy relations, but this relationship must set democratic values and human rights as its core principle, says a resolution adopted by a large majority in the EP.
Konec leta 2006 je bilo v 152 reaktorjih po 15 državah članicah proizvedenih 32 odstotkov evropske električne energije, kar pomeni največji delež elektrike, ki ne temelji na ogljiku v EU in enega najbolj konkurenčnih virov energije.
The lifting of Russia's ban on Polish agricultural products is another demand of the House.
Unija je tudi vodilna svetovna sila v jedrski industriji in eden glavnih akterjev v jedrskih raziskavah na področju nadzorovane termonuklearne fisije in fuzije.
On Estonia, it calls on Russia to "fully respect its obligations under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations," guaranteeing the protection of embassies and diplomats.
Prilagodljivost pogodbe Pogodba o Euratomu je bila v pol stoletja letih od podpisa spremenjena le enkrat.
The House reiterated its support for Russia's WTO membership, and welcomed the initiatives to achieve visa-free travel between the EU and Russia.
V svojem členu 203 pa omogoča veliko prilagodljivost – na primer z vzpostavitvijo instrumenta za jedrsko sodelovanje – pri izvajanju zakonodajnih pobud, ki prvotno niso bile predvidene v pogodbi.
It also welcomed intensified dialogue on energy issues, and stressed that equal access to infrastructure and investment, as well as "the principles of interdependence and transparency should be the basis" of cooperation in the energy field.
Parlament meni, da je treba preučiti, kako bi bilo mogoče ta člen uporabiti za oblikovanje novih pobud in po možnosti za prilagoditev pogodbe v skladu z razvojem na področju jedrske energije.
These principles should be applied to major energy infrastructure projects, such as the Baltic gas pipeline.
Poslanci tudi obžalujejo, da na področju jedrske varnosti, ravnanja z radioaktivnimi odpadki in razgradnje jedrskih objektov ni usklajenih standardov z resnično dodano vrednostjo, zlasti v primerjavi z obstoječim mednarodnim okvirom.
However, MEPs expressed deep concern about the use of force by Russian authorities against protesters in Moscow and St. Petersburg and reiterated that "a robust defence of human rights and democratic values should be a core principle of any EU engagement with Russia".
Predlogi za izboljšave Parlament ponovno poziva, naj se skliče medvladna konferenca za celostno revizijo pogodbe Euratom, za odpravo zastarelih določb te pogodbe in za ohranitev regulativnega režima jedrske industrije na ravni EU.
The Parliament welcomes the common line taken by the EU on the lifting of Russia's ban on Polish agricultural products (oral amendment moved by Charles Tannock (EPP-ED, UK)), which has blocked negotiations on a new EU-Russia Partnership and Cooperation agreement (PCA).
Poleg tega je pogodba Euratom igrala izjemno pomembno vlogo na področju zagotavljanja ustrezne zaščite ljudi pred sevanjem, zaščite okolja pri preprečevanju zlorabe jedrskega materiala ter spodbujanju raziskav in inovacij.
Keeping in mind such provisos, the report goes on to urge the Commission “to give more encouragement in the Arab world to the movement for the reform of the rule of law by legal means” and to “political reform seeking to legalise the action of opposition movements on the basis of the existing institutions.”
Rezultati pogodbe so dokaz, da se s tesnim in transparentnim sodelovanjem na evropski ravni da veliko doseči.
The EP draws a line on this issue, however, noting that efforts to engage with the Arab world “should not include persons, organisations' and states which condone terrorist activities and deny the State of Israel’s legal right to exist.”
Primer tega je fuzijski reaktor Iter, trenutno največji znanstveno-raziskovalni projekt na svetu, kjer je Evropa vodilna sila.
That said, the report "welcomes" the Saudi peace initiative approved in March summit of the Arab League and calls on the Council "to deal with this proposal at the next meeting of the Quartet".
Tega ne bi uspelo doseči nobeni posamezni državi članici.
“The current path of political Islam does not appear to be providing appropriate answers to the problems of political reform”, the report notes elsewhere.
Ob petdesetletnici pogodbe Euratom se moramo ozreti tudi v prihodnost in upoštevati sodobne politične in gospodarske okoliščine.
MEPs hope that Arab countries can "guarantee the independence and separation of institutions and political power from the religious authorities".
Zato opozarjamo na tako imenovani demokratični deficit, ki izhaja iz omejenih pristojnosti Evropskega parlamenta v postopku odločanja.
In their report, MEPs also address questions of religion in the Arab world and the fight against terrorism.
Izpostavila bi tudi potrebo po vzpostavitvi skupnih evropskih standardov na področju jedrske varnosti, ki vključuje tudi smernice za razgradnjo jedrskih objektov in ustrezno ravnanje z radioaktivnimi odpadki.
On the first of these, the report expresses its hope “for greater commitment on the part of Arab countries to religious freedom, or the right of individuals and communities to freely profess their beliefs and practise their faith.”
Menim, da bi več pozornosti morali nameniti tudi usklajenemu in učinkovitemu sodelovanju z mednarodno atomsko agencijo."
In that vein, the Parliament calls on the EU to encourage exchanges of students, teachers, academics and researchers between European and Arab countries and to facilitate such exchanges “through an adapted and more flexible visa regime”.

Evropska sredstva za boljša stanovanja
MEPs call for modernisation of European legislation on consultation and information of workers
V Evropski uniji pomanjkanje dostojnih, cenovno dostopnih stanovanj zelo vpliva na življenje državljanov, saj omejuje možnosti za socialno vključevanje.
The European Parliament calls on the Commission to present it with a timetable for the review and modernisation of European legislation on information and consultation, on collective redundancies, on safeguarding employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings and, especially, on the long-awaited revision of the Directive on European Works Councils (EWCs).
Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj namenja sredstva tudi za rešitev številnih posebnih primerov stanovanjskih vprašanj v novih državah članicah, do česar bi morale biti po mnenju poslancev od leta 2009 upravičene vse članice.
MEPs note in particular that Directive 94/45/EC of 22 September 1994 on the establishment of European Works Councils is either not being implemented at all or that there are large and unjustified discrepancies between the ways that Member States choose to implement it.
Poročilo na lastno pobudo, ki ga je pripravil poslanec Alfonso ANDRIA (ALDE, IT), je Evropski parlament v četrtek sprejel s 469 glasovi za, 38 proti in 46 vzdržanimi glasovi.
MEPs call on the Commission to report rapidly and in full to the European Parliament and to notify Member States where required.
Dokument ugotavlja, da se številna mesta v Uniji srečujejo z velikimi stanovanjskimi težavami, kot so prevelika ali nezadostna ponudba, izjemen porast stroškov nakupa in vzdrževanja ter slabo stanje stanovanjskih objektov.
Finally, the European Parliament calls on the Commission, therefore, to improve further the coordination of its policies in the various fields, including social affairs, economic and monetary affairs, industry, and research and development, and to encourage the social partners to take an active part in developing a coherent set of policies aimed at maintaining a strong, innovative and competitive European industry.
Parlament zato želi, da države članice sprejmejo takšno zakonodajo, ki bo zagotovila izvajanje pravice do primernega stanovanja dobre kakovosti in po dostopni ceni.
On 21 January 1968, a US B-52 bomber with several nuclear weapons on board crashed near the Thule Air Base in North-Western Greenland, releasing several kilos of weapons grade plutonium.
Parlament predlaga, da bi se ob predvideni reviziji uredb o kohezijski politiki ponovno odprla razprava o možnosti, da bi bile od leta 2009 vse države članice upravičene do sredstev iz evropskih skladov za varčevanje z energijo, zaščito okolja in za prenovo socialnih stanovanj, saj so stanovanjske potrebe pereče po vsej Evropi.
Mr Carswell complains that the Danish authorities failed to evacuate the workers from the site at the time, to warn them or to inform them about the extensive radiation, or to make the necessary follow-up medical tests and examinations, as required by Council Directive 96/29/Euratom on safety standards relating to ionising radiation.
Prav določitev evropskih smernic pa bi prispevala k izboljšanju zmogljivosti za reševanje teh problemov.
Both the European Commission and Denmark have consistently refused to recognise the applicability of this treaty.
Nujen je celovit pristop, ki bi sočasno omogočil boljšo dostopnost, večjo kakovost objektov in življenja za vse generacije ter večjo privlačnost urbanega in podeželskega okolja.
In its resolution, Parliament says it "doubts that the Kingdom of Denmark has fully complied with its obligations under Directive 96/29/Euratom in relation to the Thule crash and its after-effects".
Poslanci še spodbujajo Evropsko investicijsko banko in Komisijo, naj oblikujeta strategijo za razmah gradbeništva zlasti v novih državah članicah.
It therefore calls on Denmark to initiate surveillance and intervention measures in relation to the after-effects of the crash and to make arrangements for the monitoring of exposure.

Nobelovi nagrajenci na slavnostnem delu zasedanja Evropskega parlamenta
50 years of the EU: A celebration with European Nobel Prize winners at the European Parliament
Slavnostno sejo je odprl predsednik parlamenta Hans-Gert PÖTTERING, ki je pozdravil prispevek znanstvenikov k napredku Evrope: " Vaše delo, dosežki temeljijo tudi na viziji prihodnosti in ob 50. obletnici moramo izkoristiti to priložnost za pogled v prihodnost.
50 years of the EU: A celebration with Nobel prize laureates in the EP
Naj izpostavim pomembne vidike: izobraževanje, skupni evropski raziskovalni prostor, evropski raziskovalni svet, več patentov, podnebne spremembe, oskrba z energijo, razvoj inovacij in konkurenčnosti, odličnost na področju raziskav, da bi se soočila z globalno konkurenco.
A group of European Nobel Prize winners was invited to take part in a debate on the past, present and future of the EU, focusing on its scientific, intellectual and cultural achievements.
