Glavna problematična področja za vlagatelje peticij so še vedno okolje in prosti pretok blaga, oseb in kapitala.
They also asked that visibility of the "Citizens Portal" on the European Parliament's web site be improved.
Največ peticij so poslali Nemci, Britanci, Španci, Grki, Francozi, Italijani in Poljaki, dve sta prišli tudi iz Slovenije.
The most active petitioners were German, British, Spanish, Greek, French, Italian and Polish citizens.
Večina se jih nanašala na probleme izvajanja okoljske zakonodaje, socialne varnosti, medsebojnega priznavanja kvalifikacij in delovanje notranjega trga.
The majority of petitions illustrate difficulties involved in applying Community law in areas such as the environment, social security, the recognition of qualifications and the functioning of the internal market.
Parlament ob tem obžaluje, da državam članicam pogosto ni uspelo pravilno izvajati evropskih okoljskih standardov, ter meni, da je treba izboljšati doslednost pri nadzoru, zlasti glede spoštovanja zakonodaje o zaščiti biološke raznovrstnosti in presoji vpliva različnih projektov na okolje.
MEPs regret the "widespread failure" by Member States to correctly implement environmental norms and called for "improved consistency in the monitoring" notably of respect for Community law on the protection of biodiversity and on the assessment of the impact of certain public and private projects and plans on the environment.
Sistematična uporaba pravnih sredstev
Take Member States to court more systematically
Parlament meni, da to ogroža verodostojnost oblikovanja in doslednega izvajanja evropske zakonodaje ter povzroča nezaupanje v cilje EU.
They consider that this situation "undermines the credibility of the formulation and coherent application of EC law and that it serves to discredit the objectives of the EU".
Parlamentarci zato poudarjajo, da mora Komisija izkoristiti možnost, ki jo ima v skladu z evropsko zakonodajo, da države članice privede pred Evropsko sodišče, na podlagi česar se jih lahko kaznuje z globo v obliki pavšalnih zneskov ali denarne kazni, kadar odlagajo izvajanje odločb sodišča v postopkih ugotavljanja kršitev.
MEPs therefore call on the Commission to avail itself of the possibility of taking Member States to court to have them ordered to pay fines and damages if they delay implementing the Court's rulings in infringement proceedings.
Več sodelovanja s Svetom in državami članicami
Involve the Council and the Member States more extensively
Poslanci vztrajajo, da bi moral Svet EU kot institucija tesneje sodelovati pri dejavnostih odbora za peticije, med drugim tako, da bi bili njegovi predstavniki prisotni na sejah, kot predvideva tudi medinstitucionalni sporazum o boljši pripravi zakonodaje.
MEPs underline the need to involve the Council more extensively in the activities of the Petitions Committee, inter alia by sending representatives to its meetings.
Parlament znova predlaga, naj Svet imenuje visokega uradnika za usklajevanje vprašanj v zvezi s peticijami, saj se veliko peticij dotika občutljivih političnih tem, ki zadevajo prenos skupne zakonodaje v zakonodajo držav članic.
They also reiterate their proposal that the Council appoint a senior official responsible for petitions, given that many complaints are to do with the Member States' transposition of Community legislation into national law.
Države članice imajo ključno vlogo pri pravilnem izvajanju skupne zakonodaje in njena uporaba v praksi je odločilna za to, da bi Unija postala pomembnejša za evropske državljane.
In this connection, the report refers to the "key role" of the Member States in correctly implementing Community legislation and underlines that the practical application thereof "is decisive for the purposes of increasing the relevance of the European Union for its citizens".
Tudi zato poslanci poudarjajo, da morajo predstavniki držav članic in njihovih parlamentov bolj sodelovati v razpravah odbora za peticije.
Greater participation by representatives of the Member States and their parliaments in the debates of the Committee on Petitions is needed, say MEPs.

Ukrepi za odpravo posledic potresov
Dealing with the regional impact of earthquakes
Evropski parlament je v sredo z veliko večino potrdil poročilo na lastno pobudo poslanca Nikolaosa VAKALISA (EPP-ED, EL) o regionalnem vplivu potresov.
MEPs adopted a reoport on a series of ways to improve the EU's ability to cope with earthquakes.
Poslanci se zavzemajo za več evropske pomoči območjem, ki jih prizadenejo potresi in predlagajo vrsto ukrepov za učinkovitejšo odpravo posledic teh naravnih nesreč ter za uporabo sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada EU.
The Council should agree on the new EU Solidarity Fund regulation, to help repair earthquake damage faster, the Commission should draw up a joint EU earthquake action plan and Member States should step up research into earthquake damage prevention and crisis management, says an own-initiative report by Nikolaos Vakalis (EPP-ED - EL).
Parlament meni, da bi morala Komisija nemudoma pripraviti sporočilo o oceni nevarnosti, ki jo povzročajo potresi, ter o preprečevanju, obvladovanju in ukrepih za obravnavanje in nadomestilo škode zaradi potresov.
Earthquakes caused the deaths of 1.5 million people worldwide In the twentieth century, and cost an estimated at €75 billion in the last quarter century alone, says the report.
Prav tako bi morala pripraviti osnutek tehničnega protokola za skupno ukrepanje EU v primeru večjih potresov.
The EU's most seismically active areas are Italy, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Slovenia, but Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Spain, Portugal and Malta are also at significant risk .
Pri tem naj bi se osredotočila na ključno prometno, energetsko, telekomunikacijsko in zdravstveno infrastrukturo ter vlogo, ki jo lahko imajo pri tem ukrepanju različni nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni organi.
Large areas of the EU are also subject to mining-related rock-mass tremors, which cause similar damage, it adds.
Solidarnostno financiranje
Take stock, plan joint action
Več raziskav in izmenjave izkušenj
Step up research, share special skills
Komisija naj po mnenju parlamenta pomaga pripraviti posebni evropski raziskovalni program o potresih, države pa naj pospešijo raziskave za preprečevanje škode, krizno upravljanje in zmanjševanje obsega posledic naravnih nesreč.
The Commission should help formulate an earthquake research agenda, and Member States should step up research on ways to prevent damage, manage crises and reduce the impact of disasters, in tandem with the Seventh Research Framework Programme, says the report, adding that the Commission and Member States should also encourage the setting up of centres of excellence in scientific, technological and architectural innovation.
Med oblikami sodelovanja bi lahko bili tudi centri odličnosti za znanstvene, tehnološke in arhitektonske inovacije.
The report calls for public information campaigns on prevention and preparedness and university courses, master's and Ph.D programmes in disciplines such as earthquake-related engineering.
Komisija in članice bi morale spodbujati posebne evropske programe za usposabljanje in izmenjavo najboljših strokovnih praks v zvezi s specialističnimi znanji za preprečevanje in odpravo potresne škode, za kar se lahko uporabi Evropski socialni sklad.
The Commission and Member States are also urged to promote special European training and best practice exchange programmes in the special skills required to prevent and deal with earthquake damage.
Ukrepi pri gradnji
Build in earthquake resistance
Komisija bi morala priporočiti vključitev norm Eurocode 8 o protipotresni gradnji v urbanistične predpise vseh ogroženih držav, poslanci pa še pozivajo pristojne organe na ravni Unije in držav članic, da preučijo, ali je treba razširiti področje uporabe standarda Eurocode 8, da bi se vanj vključile stare in nove zgradbe.
It also urges the Commission to recommend that Euro code 8 earthquake resistance provisions be included in the planning regulations of all vulnerable Member States, and calls on EU and Member State authorities to consider applying these provisions to old buildings as well as new ones.
Sodelovanje na področju civilne zaščite
Co-ordination and civil protection
Mehanizmi za usklajevanje ukrepov na evropski ter nacionalnih in regionalnih ravneh bi morali upoštevati poročilo Evropski civilni zaščiti, ki ga je pripravil nekdanji komisar Michel Barnier.
The report calls on the Council and the Commission to take due account of earthquakes when finalising the revised legislative framework for civil protection.
Države članice naj za pospešitev tega procesa vzpostavijo vsaka enoten in usklajen sistem vodenja za civilno zaščito.
Finally, the report reiterates the House's support for the establishment of a European Civil Protection Force and calls on the Commission to submit a proposal for one.
Resolucija o globalizaciji
MEPs set out how to get the most out of globalisation
Evropski parlament je po sredini razpravi v četrtek sprejel skupno resolucijo o dokumentu Komisije z naslovom Evropski interes: uspeti v času globalizacije.
Following on from Wednesday's keynote parliamentary debate on the Commission's paper "The European interest: succeeding in the age of globalisation", MEPs today adopted - by 435 votes to 86 with 32 abstentions - a wide-ranging resolution calling for the EU to take full advantage of globalisation while addressing the many challenges it entails.
Proces naj bi pomenil predvsem nove priložnosti, ne pa grožnjo za Evropsko unijo.
The resolution firstly notes that "globalisation of the economy creates new opportunities for the EU", which is "one of the major beneficiaries of the open world economy".
Globalna konsolidacija industrijskih sektorjev in prevzemi podjetij pomembno znižujejo dejanske stroške kapitala, parlament pa ob tem poziva k boju proti protekcionizmu v Evropski uniji in zunaj nje.
The resolution "defends the independence of the ECB in setting monetary policy and in managing the effect of volatility of global financial markets" and emphasises that "the appreciation of the euro exchange rate is the result of mounting imbalances in third countries and sluggish demand in the euro area".
Opozarja tudi, da bi se brez usklajevanja pri oblikovanju nadzornega okvira in odločnega uveljavljanja pravil o konkurenci, prednosti enotnega trga lahko potencialno zmanjšale.
MEPs believe that "the surge in demand for natural resources, basic products and services driven by the growth of developing economies may bring about inflationary pressure on the EU Member States’ economies" and argue that "anti-inflationary economic policy tools with strategies of technological growth and a framework for possible macroeconomic adjustment and improved coordination should be prepared by the EU Member States".
Poslanci zagovarjajo neodvisnost Evropske centralne banke pri določanju monetarne politike in obvladovanju nihanj globalnih finančnih trgov, dvig vrednosti evra pa je predvsem posledica naraščajočih neravnovesij v tretjih državah.
Among the responses needed, MEPs say that "Europe needs a faster transformation of innovation into new products and services" and they back "the Commission's demand for a 'knowledge triangle' of research, education and innovation" and "expects more effective investments in new skills, lifelong learning and modern education/training systems".
Parlament odobrava izjavo Komisije, da bo posvetila več pozornosti dejavni vključenosti in enakim možnostim, s spodbujanjem primerne socialne zaščite in ob okrepljenem boju proti revščini.
In this context, it urges "the development of an 'EU smart green growth initiative' bringing together all the main existing EU economic instruments" and calls on the Commission "not to disconnect environmental policies from economic and employment policy", adding that "the fight against climate change must constitute the backbone of the EU's review of the 'three-year Lisbon cycle' ".
Meni tudi, da bo treba poiskati učinkovitejša sredstva za to, da bodo lahko državljani uveljavljali svoje pravice do zaposlitve, izobraževanja, socialnih storitev, zdravstvenega varstva in drugih oblik socialne zaščite v Evropi.
Moreover, to cope with climate change, as well as international organised crime, supranational action and supranational institutions are needed, believe MEPs.
Parlament pa poudarja, da je upočasnitev produktivnosti vprašanje, ki zadeva ekonomsko politiko in se razlikuje znotraj EU, pa vendar se ravna po splošnem skupnem vzorcu, ki nakazuje šibkosti na trgih, pri distribuciji in finančnih storitvah.
They therefore urge the Commission and Member States to better inform European citizens about all aspects of globalisation and the need for a policy at EU level to face these challenges.
Evropa potrebuje hitrejšo pretvorbo inovacij v nove proizvode in storitve, zato parlament podpira zahtevo Komisije za trikotnik znanja raziskave – izobraževanje – inovacije in pričakuje učinkovitejše vlaganje v nova znanja, vseživljenjsko učenje ter sodobne sisteme izobraževanja in usposabljanja.
They also welcome "the Commission's statement that more attention will be given to active inclusion and equal opportunities, that adequate social protection should be promoted and the fight against poverty reinforced" and they support "the adoption of a balanced set of common principles regarding flexicurity, combining flexibility and security for employees and employers on the labour market".
Ker državljani EU globalizacijo pogosto enačijo z upadajočo evropsko produktivnostjo in izgubo delovnih mest, poslanci pozivajo Komisijo in države članice, naj evropske državljane bolje obveščajo o vseh vidikih globalizacije, za reševanje izzivov globaliziranega gospodarstva pa je potrebna politika na ravni EU.
Lastly, Parliament stresses that "the EU urgently needs to have a common borders and immigration policy", while "leaving it to individual Member States to decide on numbers admitted" and that efforts are needed "to make a success of inward migration for all parties".
Na koncu parlament še poudarja, da EU nujno potrebuje skupno politiko na področju meja in priseljevanja, ki bo zajemala tako mejni nadzor, kakor tudi strategije, merila in postopke za ekonomsko preseljevanje.
In a debate titled "The European interest: succeeding in the age of globalisation", MEPs debated with the Council and Commission the many facets of this phenomenon, the problems and the benefits it brings and the best ways to manage it in future.
Odločitev o dovoljenem številu naj bo prepuščena posameznim državam članicam, več napora pa je treba vložiti v izmenjavo izkušenj, da bi bilo notranje preseljevanje uspešno tako s socialnega kot tudi ekonomskega vidika.
The debate was based on a Commission paper discussed by the Council on 19 October at the informal summit of Heads of state and government in Lisbon.
Povzetki iz razprave
MEPs will vote on a resolution on this topic on Thursday 15 November.
Minister Lobo Antunes je izpostavil priseljevanje kot ključno vprašanje, povezano s procesom globalizacije v Evropi, kjer je demografska rast predvsem posledica tokov priseljencev.
The minister identified migration as a key issue, pointing out that "the Union's demographic growth is increasingly supported by migratory flows" which help make up for the low level of labour market flexibility within the EU.
Zunanja dimenzija Lizbonske strategije, o kateri je Svet prav tako razpravljal, pa poudarja tudi nestabilnost finančnih trgov in podnebne spremembe.
He also said that the external dimension of the Lisbon strategy had been discussed recently by the Council, with a special emphasis on financial market instability and climate change.
"Evropa ima pogoje in dolžnost, da vodi proces globalizacije, obenem pa mora s svojo konstruktivno vlogo prispevati k oblikovanju bolj poštenega in bolj uravnoteženega sveta," je zaključil portugalski minister.
Concluding, Mr Lobo Antunes said the Portuguese presidency sincerely believed that "Europe must have a constructive role to play in building a world which is fairer and better balanced".
Predsednik Evropske komisije José Manuel Barroso razume globalizacijo kot priložnost za Unijo, da brani svoje vrednote.
In the words of Commission President José Manuel Barroso "globalisation impinges on all our lives" but should also be seen as "an opportunity for the EU to assert its values".
"Imamo dolžnost, da zaščitimo svoje državljane, vendar ne smemo biti protekcionisti.
However, he added that " We also need to do more to ensure that the Lisbon Strategy progresses at an even pace in all Member States.
Biti moramo odprti, a ne naivni.
"Globalisation is not an abstract concept, but a fact of everyday life", said Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR).
Tistim, ki ne spoštujejo določenih načel, ne smemo omogočiti, da nas izkoriščajo.
"Globalisation must be fair, smoothing out differences among countries and improving the welfare of the poorest", he continued, stressing that the exploitation of children cannot be tolerated.
Evropa temelji na pravilih in naša izkušnja nam omogoča, da vzpostavimo osnovo za svetovna pravila," je prepričan Barroso.
"The opening up of Europe is a motor of global investment", said Mr Daul adding that the take-up of EU standards "can help to improve quality control worldwide", although the EU must also ensure that "Brazil, China and India deliver on their responsibilities".
Lizbonska strategija je po letu 2005 pripomogla k ustvarjanju 6,5 milijonov novih delovnih mest, v obdobju 2007-2009 pa naj bi jih nastalo še 8 milijonov.
The title of the debate made it all too clear that Parliament, the Council and the Commission need to discuss their role in this process, said Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE).
Prednostna področja so raziskave, inovacije, boljše okolje za poslovanje, večje možnosti zaposlovanja ter energetika in boj proti podnebnim spremembam.
The "economy first", understood as deregulation to maximise profit and boost growth at the expense of social security, "might please the right", but it is the "wrong approach", he stressed.
Barroso je izpostavil vlogo parlamenta, ki je podprl predloge za program Galileo in Evropski tehnološki inštitut ter dodal, da bi Komisija rada dodala med temeljne evropske svoboščine tudi prost pretok znanja.
The European Commission is clearly "not a Socialist El Dorado", continued Mr Schulz, but its centre-right politicians should nonetheless bring forward proposals to "rein in" international financial capitalists and the "Wild West capitalism that is threatening whole economies".
Zagotoviti je treba, da bo Lizbonska strategija napredovala z enakimi koraki v vseh državah članicah, saj lahko upočasnitev v eni vpliva na razmere v ostalih. (...)
If Europe sits on its hands because national leaders – citing citizens’ concerns – contest the EU's agenda, we will miss the chance to shape globalisation in Europe's collective interests, he warned.
Prepričan sem, da ni le v interesu Evrope, temveč je dobro za ves svet, če bo naša celina bolj predana tem reformnim procesom," je zaključil predsednik Komisije.
Survey after survey has shown that most of our citizens see the European Union, not national government, as best placed to manage globalisation" he continued.
Predstavniki političnih skupin
Your timetable"?
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR): "Globalizacija ni abstrakten pojem, je stvarnost, ki jo državljani živijo vsak dan.
Mr Watson asked Mr Barroso, adding that this communication was "rich in rhetoric, but rather poor in proposals".
Na tem področju veliko pričakujejo od Unije: da jih bo zaščitila, zavarovala pred terorističnimi napadi, pred propadom finančnih trgov, zagotovila zanesljivo oskrbo z varno hrano, da igrače ne predstavljajo nevarnosti za zdravje.
That includes "fashioning a fair deal for developing countries in Doha, clinching a contract on carbon emissions in Bali, and building an international approach to financial markets, focusing on regulatory co-operation, convergence of standards and equivalence of rules."
Globalizacijo morajo spremljati etična pravila, ki prepovedujejo na primer izkoriščanje otrok. (...)
Mirosław Mariusz PIOTROWSKI (UEN, PL) began by stating that "globalisation is an irreversible phenomenon and [that] this is something that certain EU Member States should bear in mind and respond accordingly ..[..]..
Okrepiti je treba notranji trg, povečati sredstva za raziskave in inovacije, ponuditi nove priložnosti, izvesti prilagajanja, kot je na primer vseživljenjsko učenje.
She agreed that it is true that we need to rebalance the trade, social and environmental dimensions of globalisation, but added that "we're still talking as if it's the quantity that matters, not quality."
Naša politična skupina pozdravlja lizbonsko strategijo in novo zakonodajo za mala podjetja.
She concluded by stating that Lisbon and Gothenburg still need to be integrated - "that's the challenge.
Le na tak način lahko zagotavljamo stabilnost in rast delovnih mest.
Jiří MAŠTÁLKA (GUE/NGL, CZ) criticised the joint motion on globalisation.
Zagotoviti pa moramo tudi varno oskrbo z energijo in več vlagati v raziskave obnovljivih virov ter prispevek civilne jedrske energije.
The motion doesn't reflect European interests at all, it doesn't even reflect the interests of the majority of citizens of the EU."
Pri teh raziskavah zasledujemo isti cilj - varnost, učinkovitost, uspešnost."
It would offer the people nothing at all, they would simply be told: "Globalisation - like it or lump it."
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE): "Jasno moramo povedati, da obstajajo različni pogledi in da med seboj tekmujejo različni pristopi glede soočanja.
Godfrey BLOOM (IND/DEM, UK) criticised the French President Sarkozy's speech yesterday in the EP and said that "it was all humbug".
Ob nekaterih pogledih se strinjam, drugje pa so naša mnenja zelo različna.
He accused Sarkozy of hypocrisy: "He stood for free trade.
Gospodarski napredek mora prinesti več socialne varnosti, večjo enakost. (...)
But then, it would seem, ignored, as the people of France and Holland have been ignored."
Potrebujemo tudi boljše upravljanje, a raje bi videl, da tudi državljani na cesti vedo, kaj s tem mislimo. (...)
Dimitar STOYANOV (ITS, BU) said he "would like to remind the Commission and Council that globalisation is a process that does not exist per se" and that "European policy will determine whether globalisation will evolve or not."
To o čemer razpravljamo je, kako se soočiti z globalizacijo in kakšen vpliv lahko imajo lahko evropske institucije na to, da bomo dosegli naše ambiciozne cilje.
Referring to the Council which had stressed the importance of global competitiveness, Mr STOYANOV said there were many European countries that could not even work within the single market.
Naši volivci nas bodo sodili tudi po tem, če bomo le govorili kaj želimo, ne pa tudi sprejeli konkretnih pobud."
"I anticipate that the Lisbon strategy will fail in Bulgaria because, as we have said time and again, our country was not ready to join the EU."
Predsednik Sarkozy je včeraj govoril o energetiki, konkurenčnosti, predsednik Barroso je marsikaj povedal danes.
Timothy KIRKHOPE (EPP-ED, Yorkshire, Conservatives, UK) said that to survive and prosper, Europe needs to face up to the challenges of globalisation.
Če se samo sedi in opazuje kaj se dogaja, bomo zamudili priložnost oblikovati prihodnost v skladu z evropskimi interesi.
Fulfilling the Lisbon Agenda is central to Europe’s future prosperity and we need to make sure that a deal is finally secured in the World Trade talks.
Gre za članice, za naše državljane.
Reform of the common agricultural policy - not only a fair deal for EU farmers but also for those in the developing world.
Vedno več anket kaže mnenje državljanov, da se ne znamo soočiti z izzivi globalizacije. (...)
Welcoming the Commission President's recent statement on globalisation, he quoted that "protectionism cannot make Europe wealthier; protectionism would impoverish, not protect, our citizens."
Kje so torej vaše politike, vaše časovnice, celostni pristop?
The EU, he said, had offered 46 percent reduction in import tariffs.
