Količinski kriterij (1 tona na leto), ki ga je določila Komisija, lahko povzroči veliko nepotrebnih upravnih zapletov za izdelke, ki so sorazmerno neškodljivi.
The criterion of quantity (1 tonne per year) chosen by the Commission is likely to produce a significant amount of unnecessary bureaucracy in the case of relatively harmless products.
Številni poslanci si želijo bolj kakovosten in ciljno usmerjen pristop, ki bo dajal prednost najbolj nevarnim snovem.
Some MEPs are looking for an approach based more on quality, which prioritises the most dangerous substances.
Prav tako želijo večjo vlogo agencije, ki bo imela sedež na Finskem.
They would also like to see the Agency, which will be based in Finland, given a more extensive role.
Mala in srednje velika podjetja, nadomestni izdelki ...
SMEs, substitute products, etc.
Velika je tudi zaskrbljenost v zvezi z vplivom tega projekta na številna mala in srednje velika podjetja, ki so dejavna v tem sektorju in čigar stroški bi se lahko povečali.
There is also a great deal of concern over the impact of these plans on the many small and medium-sized businesses operating in the sector, which could experience a dramatic rise in costs.
Nedavna neodvisna raziskava, ki jo je naročila Evropska komisija, objavljena 27. aprila 2005, je močno zmanjšala bojazni glede nevarnosti prenosa podjetij ali občutnega povišanja stroškov evropskih kemičnih izdelkov.
A recent independent study commissioned by the European Commission and published on 27 April 2005 did much to allay fears of a drive to relocate outside the EU and of a significant increase in the cost of European chemical products.
Mala in srednje velika podjetja, ki zagotavljajo veliko delovnih mest, bodo REACH sprejela veliko težje kot velike multinacionalke.
SMEs, which provide many jobs, will nevertheless have much more difficulty integrating REACH than the large multinationals.
Navsezadnje se bodo tudi okoljevarstveniki še naprej zavzemali, da uporaba manj škodljivih nadomestnih snovi, če so te na voljo, ne bo le ena od možnosti, ampak obveznost.
Finally, environmental protection organisations are continuing to push for the use of less harmful substitute products, where these exist, to be made compulsory rather than optional.
Poslanci Evropskega parlamenta lahko predlagajo odlog vstopa v EU
Parliament and Romania and Bulgaria
Če bo odgovor negativen, bo Parlament predlagal odlog do leta 2008.
If the answer is negative, Parliament will propose a delay until 2008.
Končno odločitev pa bodo sprejele vlade Evropske unije.
The final decision is for the EU governments to take.
Romunija in Bolgarija sta bili izločeni iz skupine, ki se je priključila Evropski uniji maja 2004, ker je kmalu postalo jasno, da morata opraviti več dela kot drugi, da bi izpolnili politične in ekonomske zahteve za članstvo v Evropski uniji.
Romania and Bulgaria were left out of the group of countries which joined the EU in May 2004, because it soon became clear that they needed to do more work than the others to meet the political and economic requirements posed by EU membership.
Države članice morajo biti sposobne konkurirati na enotnem trgu EU, vzpostaviti morajo pravilno delujočo tržno ekonomijo, znotraj katere so podjetja zmožna obstati, ne da bi prejemala denar od države.
Member countries have to be able to compete on the EU integrated market, which means that they need to have a properly functioning market economy, where companies can stay alive without receiving money from the state.
Biti morajo tudi resnično demokratične, tako da v državi redno potekajo poštene volitve, da sta sodstvo in policija nepristranska in učinkovita ter da se spoštujejo človekove pravice in pravice manjšin.
They also need to be a proper democracy, where fair elections are held regularly, judges and police are impartial and efficient and where human and minority rights are respected.
Dvomi o pripravljenosti Romunije
Doubts about Romania's readiness
Še zlasti Romunija je imela probleme pri izpolnjevanju teh kriterijev.
Romania, in particular, has had problems fulfilling these criteria.
Tako je aprila, ko bi moral Parlament glasovati o dovoljenju za vstop Romunije in Bolgarije, precejšnje število parlamentarnih poslancev izrazilo občutek, da zlasti Romunija še ni pripravljena.
So when the time came in April for the Parliament to vote on giving its permission for Romania's and Bulgaria's entry, a substantial number of MEPs felt that especially Romania wasn't ready yet.
Eni so hoteli glasovati proti vstopu obeh držav, drugi so bili za to, da bi glasovanje odložili, nekoliko počakali in opazovali.
Some of them wanted to vote against the entry of the two countries, while others wanted to postpone the vote in order to wait and see.
Tretji so dejali, da je nova romunska vlada, ki je prišla na oblast decembra 2004, pravzaprav dosegla dokaj hiter in opazen napredek in je za brezbrižnost prejšnje vlade ne bi smeli kaznovati.
And others again said that Romania's new government, which came into power in December 2004, was finally making some fast and solid progress and shouldn't be punished for the negligence of the old one.
Na koncu je prišlo do kompromisa, v skladu s katerim so bile vlade EU prisiljene dati Parlamentu pravico, da zaprosi za enoleten odlog sprejetja obeh držav v EU, če bo menil, da je to potrebno.
In the end, a compromise was found by forcing the EU governments to grant Parliament the right to ask for postponement of both countries' entry into the EU by one year if it considers that to be necessary.
Koncesije parlamentu
Concessions to Parliament
Ob vsem je Parlamentu uspelo dobiti nazaj velik delež pravic odločanja o proračunu EU.
In the process, Parliament also managed to wrench back an important part of its decision rights over the European budget.
S t. im. "pristopno pogodbo" za Romunijo in Bolgarijo so vlade EU določile, koliko denarja bo na nekaterih področjih porabljenega za ti dve novi državi članici od časa njunega vstopa do leta 2009 in tudi pozneje.
In the so-called "Accession Treaty" for Romania and Bulgaria, the EU governments had laid down how much money was going to be used for these two new member states in certain areas from the time of their entry until 2009 and even later.
To bi pomenilo, da Parlament nima več besede pri tem delu proračuna EU.
This would have meant that Parliament no longer had a say over this part of the EU budget.
Pogajanja med vladami EU in Parlamentom do zadnjega trenutka niso privedla do soglasja.
Negotiations between the EU governments and Parliament failed to produce an agreement until the very last moment.
V strahu, da bi Parlament glasoval proti vstopu Romunije in Bolgarije, so vlade obljubile, da bodo po letu 2009, to je le po dveh letih, poslanci ponovno pridobili te pravice in da to, da so bili ti zneski že določeni, ne pomeni, da bodo tudi bodoči proračuni EU prikrojeni na tak način.
Fearing that Parliament would vote against the entry of Romania and Bulgaria, the governments promised that after 2009, so after only two years, MEPs would have these rights back again and that the fact that these sums had already been fixed, would not mean that future EU budgets would be cut accordingly.
Opazovalci v Parlamentu
Parliament observers
Tako kot pri prejšnjih širitvah je Evropski parlament tudi tokrat povabil parlamenta Bolgarije in Romunije, da pošljeta "opazovalce, ki bodo imeli možnost seznaniti se s posebnostmi evropskega parlamentarnega dela.
As with previous enlargements, the European Parliament has invited the parliaments of Bulgaria and Romania to send "observer MEPs", who will be able to get acquainted with the specificities of European parliamentary work.
Sodelujejo lahko pri vseh aktivnostih, seveda brez pravice glasovanja.
They can take part in all the activities but will not be able to vote.
Tako bo 26. septembra iz Romunije in Bolgarije v Bruselj prišlo 35 parlamentarnih poslancev.
On 26 September, therefore, 35 MPs from Romania and 18 from Bulgaria will arrive in Brussels.
Tekstil: Evropski parlament predlaga odgovor kitajskemu izzivu
Textiles: the European Parliament proposes a response to the Chinese challenge
EU mora omejiti nadaljnji 'nenormalni uvoz' kitajskega tekstila - je bilo junija letos geslo Evropskega parlamenta.
The EU should place further restrictions on ‘abnormal imports’ of Chinese textiles – that was the watchword in the European Parliament last July.
Poplava T-majic in drugih oblačil 'Made in China' na evropskem trgu od začetka 2005 zahteva odziv.
The massive influx of T-shirts and other items of clothing ‘Made in China’ onto the European market since the beginning of 2005 calls for a reaction.
Poslanci predlagajo EU, da v tem vidi bolj izziv kot nevarnost.
MEPs are proposing that the EU regard this as a challenge rather than a danger.
Ob upoštevanju pravil in socialnih norm enakosti, ima Evropa dovolj možnosti za soočanje s konkurenco.
As long as trading rules and equitable social standards are observed, Europe has sufficient assets to face the competition.
Uvoz teh izdelkov je bil dejansko 57-krat večji kot v enakem obdobju leta 2004, medtem ko se je število kitajskih T-majic v evropskih trgovinah povečalo za 187%.
Indeed, imports of these products were 57 times higher than in the same period in 2004, while the number of Chinese T-shirts in European shops increased by 187%.
Številke, objavljene pred referendumom v Franciji in na Nizozemskem so razvnele razpravo o Ustavi in po mnenju nekaterih kažejo nezmožnost EU, da ščiti delovna mesta v tekstilnem in oblačilnem sektorju.
These figures, published ahead of the referendums in France and the Netherlands, inflamed the constitutional debate and, in the opinion of some people, demonstrated the EU’s inability to defend jobs in the textiles and clothing sectors.
Tekstil in oblačila, ključni sektor Unije
Textiles and clothing constitute a key sector for the EU
EU je bila v primeru, če sporazum ne bi bil dosežen pripravljena uporabiti zaščitno klavzulo, ki ji z dovoljenjem Svetovne trgovinske organizacije (STO) daje pravico do omejevanja uvoza in s tem do zaščite svojega trga.
Had an agreement not been reached, the EU was prepared to use the safeguard clause which, subject to approval from the World Trade Organisation (WTO), gives it the right to limit imports and thereby protect its market.
Parlament pa je želel iti dlje, kot je bilo določeno v sporazumu, ki sta ga podpisala kitajski minister za trgovino Bo Xilai in evropski komisar za trgovino Peter Mandelson.
But Parliament would like to go beyond the terms of the agreement, signed by the Chinese Minister of Commerce, Bo Xilai and the European Commissioner for Trade, Peter Mandelson.
Ta sektor po vstopu novih držav članic v EU leta 2004 zaposluje 2,7 milijonov oseb, med katerimi je velik delež žensk.
Following the accession of 10 new Member States to the EU in 2004, this sector employs almost 2.7 million people, many of whom are women.
Vstop Kitajske v STO leta 2002 in odprava kvot na tekstilne izdelke, kar je omogočilo zaščito nacionalnih trgov od 1974 do 2005, sta povzročila poplavo kitajskih tekstilnih izdelkov.
China’s accession to the WTO in 2002 and the end of the quotas on textile products, which provided protection for national markets between 1974 and 2005, led to a massive influx of Chinese textile products.
Problemi so se začeli že poprej, saj je sektor v letih od 1990 do 2001 izgubil 850.000 delovnih mest in tisoče podjetij.
But the problems predate that, since this sector lost almost 850 000 jobs and thousands of businesses in the European Union between 1990 and 2001.
Bolj izziv kot nevarnost
More of a challenge than a danger
Uvedba zaščitnih predpisov in ponovna uvedba kvot torej ni vprašanje.
However, this is not to suggest that protectionist rules should be reintroduced and quotas re-established.
Poslanci v tem položaju bolj vidijo izziv kot grožnjo.
MEPs would prefer to treat this situation as a challenge rather than a threat.
Trg mora ostati prost in konkurenčen, vendar konkurenca mora biti lojalna.
The market must remain free and competitive, but competition must be fair.
Da bi to dosegli, morajo vsi partnerji spoštovati 'geslo, po katerem trgovinska politika z ostalim svetom temelji na načelih: pravičnosti in vzajemnosti' - po predlogu francoske poslanke, članice skupine krščanskih demokratov ge.
In order to achieve this, all partners must respect the keynote according to which a trade policy with the rest of the world has to be based on two principles: fairness and reciprocity.
Tokie Saifi, ki je pripravila resolucijo o prihodnosti tekstila in oblačil po letu 2005, ki jo je Evropski parlament sprejel julija letos.
These were the words of the French Christian Democrat MEP Ms Tokia Saïfi, who drafted the resolution on the future of the textile and clothing industry after 2005, which was adopted by the European Parliament last July.
Vendar danes ni tako.
But this is not the case today.
Prvič, težko je tekmovati na trgu, ki tako kot kitajski, ni prost.
Firstly, it is difficult to compete with a market such as China, which is not free.
Kitajska tekstilna podjetja so še vedno državna in koristijo pomoč, ki izkrivlja konkurenco (brezobrestna posojila v državnih bankah, izvozne subvencije, prikrite pomoči, kot je brezplačna dobava elektrike).
Chinese textile companies are still state-run and benefit from aid which distorts competition (interest-free loans from state banks, export subsidies, disguised subsidies such as the supply of free electricity).
Drugič, ni vse stvar koristi.
Secondly, it is not simply a matter of profit.
Podjetja, ki želijo izvažati v Evropo, morajo spoštovati človekove pravice, mednarodne okoljske in delovne norme.
Those companies which wish to export to Europe should respect human rights and international standards on the environment and employment.
Poslanci menijo, da je potrebno prepovedati vsak uvoz proizvodov v EU, ki so bili proizvedeni ob kršenju teh pravic, to se še zlasti nanaša na izdelke zapornikov, otrok, prisilno delo delavcev brez sindikalnih pravic.
According to MEPs, any importation of products into the EU which is in breach of these rules, in particular where products have been manufactured by prisoners, children, slave labourers or workers without trade union rights, should be prohibited.
Usmerjenost v kakovost in boj proti ponarejanju
Focusing on quality and combating counterfeits
Evropa ima možnosti, da z optimizmom zre v prihodnost.
Europe has assets which allow it to be optimistic about the future.
EU kot kraj porekla proizvoda zagotavlja njegovo kakovost.
The EU as a place of origin is a guarantee of a product’s quality.
Proizvodi z veliko dodano vrednostjo so moč evropske tekstilne industrije.
Products with a high added value are the European textile industry’s trump card.
Poslanci želijo, da se spodbuja inovativnost, ki bo povečala konkurenčnost evropske industrije.
MEPs would like to see innovation encouraged in order to make European industry more competitive.
Vendar z uničevanjem njene ustvarjalnosti in inovativnosti s piratstvom in ponarejanjem je težko v celoti izkoristiti njene ključne prednosti.
But as long as its creativity and innovation are undermined by pirating and counterfeits, it is difficult to reap the full benefits of these key advantages.
Levji delež, to je 70% vseh ponaredkov na evropskem trgu prihaja iz Kitajske.
As it happens, the lion’s share of all counterfeits introduced onto the European market, almost 70%, comes from China.
Na srečo obstaja pravno sredstvo za boj proti svetovni trgovini s ponaredki, to je Sporazum o trgovinskih vidikih pravic intelektualne lastnine (TRIPs).
Fortunately, there is a legal basis for combating the global marketing of counterfeits: the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement).
Poslanci menijo, da mora Kitajska poostriti sankcije proti kršiteljem pravil.
Thus, MEPs believe that China should impose stricter penalties on those who infringe these rules.
Parlament za soočanje z azijsko in tudi ameriško konkurenco predlaga združitev moči obeh bregov Sredozemlja in vzpostavitev 'evro-sredozemskega območja proizvodnje.'
In order to face Asian and also American competition, Parliament is proposing that the two shores of the Mediterranean join forces to create a ‘ Euro-Mediterranean production area’.
Končno, uresničiti je treba načrt pomoči za prestrukturiranje in prekvalifikacijo tekstilnega in oblačilnega sektorja.
Finally, an aid plan for the reconstruction and conversion of the European textiles and clothing sector should be implemented.
Vendar, kot je znano, takšne prekvalifikacije so pogosto tesno povezane z lokalnimi ali sektorskimi krizami.
But, as is well known, conversions of this kind often go hand in hand with local or sectoral crises.
Da bi to odpravili, poslanci želijo dodeljevanje finančne pomoči s pomočjo strukturnih skladov (pomoč EU regijam v težavah).
In order to remedy this, MEPs would like to see the provision of financial aid by means of the Structural Funds (EU aid to regions in difficulty).
Nič ni enostavno
Nothing is simple
Ali izvoz kitajskega tekstila ogroža delovna mesta v Evropi?
Do exports of Chinese textiles pose a threat to jobs in Europe?
Kljub številnim senčnim stranem v odnosih med tema subjektoma se sodelovanje razvija.
Although there are numerous strains on relations between the two entities, cooperation is developing.
Res pa je, da je na kitajski strani velik presežek.
It is true that there is an increasing surplus on the Chinese side.
Tudi Unija veliko izvaža na Kitajsko: industrijski stroji, avtomobili, letala.
However, the EU also exports a significant quantity of goods to China, such as industrial machinery, cars and aircraft.
Kitajska je v nekaterih področjih pomemben tekmec EU, vendar je to še bolj za države v razvoju.
China is a formidable competitor for the EU in certain areas but it is even more so for developing countries.
Težko bi bilo odtegniti vso zaščito najbolj ogroženim državam.
It would be unjust to deprive the most vulnerable countries of all protection.
Končno, nekatere nevladne organizacije poudarjajo, da omejevanje kitajskega izvoza pomeni tudi omejevanje razvoja 100 milijonov Kitajcev, ki živijo pod pragom revščine.
Finally, certain non-governmental organisations emphasise that restricting Chinese imports also means limiting the development of the 100 million Chinese who live below the poverty line.
Ponovno nezadovoljstvo s kmetijstvom
Aggravation over Agriculture - again
Težko je biti nevtralen glede skupne kmetijske politike (SKP) Evropske unije.
It is difficult to be neutral about the European Union's Common Agriculture Policy (CAP).
Svojim privržencem zagotavlja izdatno in stabilno oskrbo s hrano v Evropi.
To its supporters the policy has guaranteed a plentiful and stable food supply for Europe.
SKP je tudi najbolj integrirana politika EU in velja kot dokaz, da resnična integracija politike obstaja.
The CAP is also the most integrated of the EU's policies and is held up as proof that real policy integration is.
Glavna kritika na račun SKP je njena gospodarska neučinkovitost.
To its critics, the economic inefficiency of the CAP is the main complaint.
Subvencije kmetom, visoke cene za potrošnike in kmetijski presežki so najpogostejše pritožbe v zvezi z njo.
Subsidies to farmers, high prices for consumers and farm surpluses are the most-often voiced complaints about the policy.
SKP pride v Evropski parlament
The CAP comes to the European Parliament
Kmetijska politika je bila še zlasti pod drobnogledom v zadnjih nekaj tednih, ko se voditelji EU prepirajo glede dodeljevanja proračunskih sredstev v Uniji za obdobje 2007-2013.
The scrutiny of agriculture policy has been particularly intense over the last few weeks as EU leaders argue over the budget allocation for the Union between 2007 and 2013.
Proračun za razvoj kmetijstva in podeželja znaša 46 % porabe EU ali približno 50 milijard letno, zato se nahaja v središču razprav o usmeritvi EU v prihodnjih letih.
As the agriculture and rural development budget accounts for 46% of EU spending annually - or some €50 billion a year - it is central to the debate and to the direction the EU will take in the coming years.
Dodeljevanje proračunskih sredstev je bistveno povezano s težnjo po gospodarski reformi Evrope s tako imenovano „lizbonsko strategijo“.
In particular, the budget allocation is seen as having a vital link between the drive for economic reform in Europe through the so called "Lisbon Strategy".
Cilj te strategije je boj proti nizki produktivnosti, visoki brezposelnosti in gospodarski stagnaciji v Evropi z reformo ter naložbami v raziskave in izobraževanje.
The aim of this strategy is to tackle low productivity, high unemployment and economic stagnation in Europe through reform and investment in research and education.
V uradnem sporočilu je izražena želja, „da EU postane najbolj dinamično in konkurenčno gospodarstvo“ do leta 2010.
In the words of the official communiqué the ambition is "to make the EU the world's most dynamic and competitive economy" by 2010.
Po neuspehu junijskega zasedanja Evropskega sveta, na katerem se voditelji EU niso dogovorili o proračunskem okviru za naslednja leta, sta prihodnost in namen SKP ter celotnega proračuna v središču pogosto ogorčenih političnih izmenjav.
In the aftermath of the failed European Council in June, when EU leaders could not agree a budgetary framework for the forthcoming years, the future and purpose of the CAP and the budget as a whole became the centre of often bitter political exchanges.
V Evropskem parlamentu je Jean-Claude Juncker, predsednik luksemburške vlade in vodja takratnega predsedstva EU, neuspeh pogovorov o proračunu poimenoval kot „kriza, vendar ne samo finančna kriza“.
In the European Parliament, Jean-Claude Juncker, the Prime Minister of Luxemburg and the holder of the rotating EU Presidency, called the failure of the budget talks "a crisis, but not just a financial crisis".
Njegove zadnje besede so odmevale po parlamentu in požele buren aplavz, ko je izjavil, da „naša generacija nima pravice uničiti dosežkov naših predhodnikov“.
His last words echoed around the Parliamentary chamber and prompted a standing ovation as he declared that "our generation does not have the right to unpick the achievements of our predecessors".
Naslednji dan je moral Parlament nagovoriti predsednik vlade Združenega kraljestva Tony Blair ter tako začeti predsedstvo Združenega kraljestva EU.
As fate would have it, the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was due to address the Parliament to launch the UK's Presidency of the EU the following day.
Dejal je, da to odraža širše razočaranje in da je čas, da „pogledamo resnici v oči“.
He said that this reflected a wider disenchantment with Europe and that it was time to "give ourselves a reality check".
Blair je Evropo pozval k izvajanju lizbonske strategije in sprejetju proračuna v skladu s Sapirjevim poročilom (gl. spodnjo povezavo) iz leta 2003.
Mr Blair urged Europe to implement the Lisbon agenda and adopt a budget along the lines of the Sapir report (see link below) in 2003.
Vodja konzervativne strani v Parlamentu, Hans-Gert Poettering, je dejal, da neuspešen dogovor sam po sebi ni bil „tragičen“, vendar pa je Evropa skupaj z dvojno zavrnitvijo ustave „v krizi“.
The leader of the Conservative block in the Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, said that the failure to reach an agreement was not "tragic" in itself, but combined with the two "no" votes, Europe was "in a crisis".
Gledano pozitivno, „je bila to zmaga demokracije, ker ljudje lahko sodelujejo v razpravi“.
On a positive note "it was a triumph for democracy as people can and are participating in the debate".
Vodja socialistične skupine v Parlamentu, Martin Schulz, je pozval k „dostojnim službam, ki zagotavljajo varnost in zanesljive plače“.
The leader of the Socialist group in the Parliament, Martin Schulz, called for "decent jobs that offer security and secure wages".
Glede primerjave med porabo sredstev za raziskave in za kmetijstvo je dejal, „da je tako, kot bi primerjali dan in noč“.
As to the debate over research versus agricultural spending, he said "it is like comparing chalk and cheese."
