Velika noč: skupni praznik, različni običaji
MEPs share their Easter with us
Mnogi Evropejci so Veliko noč že praznovali, nekateri - pripadniki pravoslavne cerkve - pa še čakajo nanjo.
Most Europeans have already celebrated Easter though for some in the Orthodox Church the celebrations are still to come.
Velika noč je za kristjane najpomembnejši verski praznik, praznujejo pa ga tudi pripadniki židovske vere.
Easter is the most important religious festival for Christians and Jews celebrate Passover around the same time.
Obilje jajc, šunke, hrena, čokolade priča o tem, da se praznik dotakne tudi tistih, ki niso verni.
The abundance of eggs, rabbits and chocolate over Easter also indicates that it has resonance for those who are not religious.
Ljudmila Novak (Slovenija, EPP-ED): "V Sloveniji Veliko noč preživimo v družinskem krogu.
For some Members we spoke to, Easter is primarily a religious occasion and a time to be with family and friends.
Skupaj gremo tudi v cerkev in sicer vsaki dan od četrtka do ponedeljka."
Ljudmila Novak (EPP-ED) told us that "in Slovenia we tend to accent the Easter celebration on spending time with the family and therefore we go to the church every day from Thursday to Monday together".
Bastiaan Belder (Nizozemska, IND/DEM): "Veliko noč praznujem s svojo družino.
Independent Dutch MEP Bastiaan Belder told us that "we celebrated Easter with my wife, children and four grandsons, the whole family together.
Praznik ima poseben verski pomen.
Easter has a very special religious meaning to us and it is not just a day off.
Tako smo denimo na velikonočno nedeljo skupaj s 1000 drugimi bili kar dvakrat v protestantski cerkvi."
On Easter Sunday we went twice to the protestant Church with 1000 people attending".
Miza je okrašena z rumenimi narcisami, na oknih pa visijo 'velikonočne čarovnice'."
For Easter decorations we had daffodils in the table and an "Easter Witch" in the window".
Čas za tradicijo
Easter is a time for tradition...
Jana Hybášková (Češka, EPP-ED): "Zjutraj na velikonočni ponedeljek s hčerko previdno čakava v postelji, da pride dragi Ivan, moj mož, in naju ošvrkne z bičem.
Romanian Liberal MEP Adina-Ioana Vălean told us that "a fter a long lent period that lasts for more than six weeks the Easter celebrations start on Friday before the Easter Sunday.
Pred verskim obredom v soboto zvečer jemo kruh in pijemo vino.
"It is believed that burying an Easter egg in the soil would bring a good harvest.
Domov pa odnesemo luč, namreč svečo, ki smo jo držali med procesijo."
Those who roll their egg the furthest in the egg rolling game can expect a successful year."
Eugenijus Maldeikis (Litva, UEN): "Obstaja navada, da zakopljemo velikonočno jajce v zemljo, kajti prineslo naj bi dobro žetev.
This is how Lithuanian Member Eugenijus Maldeikis (UEN) explained to us a traditional Easter in his country.
Z jajci tudi balinamo.
People also offer branches of willow katkin to each other.
Tisti, ki jajce najdlje odkotali, lahko pričakuje uspešno leto. "
People also go outside asking the children if “the sun is dancing”.
Andres Tarand (Estonija, PES): "Otroci v Estoniji pobarvajo jajca z različnimi barvami, odrasli pa jih nato skrijejo.
Irish MEP Kathy Sinnott (IND/DEM) described to us a typical Easter in her family; "a fter the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, Easter begins.
Kathy Sinnott (Irska, IND/DEM): "Velika noč se začne po večerni maši na sveto soboto.
In my house we also have an Easter Egg hunt with hard boiled eggs that we dye and decorate".
V nedeljo si podarimo čokoladna jajca ali pisanke, ki jih pogosto skrijemo in nato iščemo."
In the Czech Republic and Slovakia there is a tradition where women are symbolically "whipped" or have water poured on them to ensure that they are young, beautiful and healthy.
Praznovanje pomladi in novega življenja
In return women give men ham, eggs and sometimes money depending on the area.
Jaz jo preobrnem v delovno praznovanje in organiziram tiskovne konference, na katerih zagovarjam okolje.
Spanish Green MEP David Hammerstein sees Easter as "a celebration of spring, new life, so I turned it into a working celebration and gave several press conferences in defence of ecology.
Prav tako praznujem židovsko veliko noč in sicer na posveten način s simbolično večerjo.
I will also celebrate the Jewish Easter .
Letos bom razmišljal o osvoboditvi ljudi, ki se borijo proti zatiranju, kot denimo Tibetanci."
I celebrate it in a secular way with the symbolic dinner and I will think about the liberation of all people fighting against oppression, like in Tibet".
Feleknas Uca ( Nemčija , GUE/NGL) pa je 21. marec preživela v Diyabakirju v Turčiji, kjer je praznovala turško novo leto newroz.
German MEP Feleknas Uca (GUE/NGL) spent 21 March in Diyabakir in Turkey, celebrating Newroz – the Kurdish New Year.

Evropski poslanci o razmerah v Tibetu in o zaključkih spomladanskega vrha Unije
Today in plenary - MEPs debate the situation in Tibet and the outcome of the European Council
Izredno zasedanje Evropskega parlamenta
Tibet under the spotlight in the European Parliament
V sredo so se poslanci Evropskega parlamenta sestali na izrednem triurnem plenarnem zasedanju, ki je imelo le dve točki: razpravo o zaključkih Evropskega sveta in razmere v Tibetu.
MEPs debated the situation in Tibet with some MEPs calling for a possible boycott of at least the opening ceremony of the forthcoming Olympic Games to be held in China this summer while others said that a boycott would be futile.
Obsojamo vse oblike nasilja in nesorazmerno uporabo vojaških ter policijskih sil.
He added "We condemn all forms of violence and the disproportionate use of military and police.
Obsojamo smrtne primere med miroljubnimi ljudmi.
We condemn the deaths of people who were acting peacefully".
Dalajlami zaupam in tudi zato pozivam kitajske oblasti, da z njim začnejo pogajanja ter ob spoštovanju ozemeljske celovitosti Kitajske najdejo rešitev, ki bo zagotavljala kulturno in versko identiteto tibetanskega ljudstva."
He called on the Beijing authorities "to negotiate with the Dalai Lama and, while respecting the territorial integrity of China, to reach an understanding that respects and guarantees the cultural and religious identity of the Tibetan people".
Zato obsojamo izgon novinarjev in dopisnikov iz Tibeta."
The Dalai Lama has accepted an invitation to address the EP in December as part of the Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
Predsednik Pöttering je zaključil, da je sicer povabljen na otvoritveno slovesnost iger v Pekingu, vendar pa "se mora vsak odgovoren politik vprašati, ali bo sodeloval na slovesnosti, če se kitajsko vodstvo ne bo potrudilo v smeri dialoga in kompromisa".
However, in view of the current situation, said the EP President to applause from the House, "I am sure you will agree he is welcome to come to the European Parliament at any time".
Družinam žrtev je izrazilo najgloblje sočutje in sožalje ter poudarilo, da bi od kitajske vlade želelo pridobiti čim prejšnja dodatna pojasnila o razmerah v Tibetu.
"But this will require respect for the cultural and religious identity of the Tibetan people and free and fair reporting before and after the games.
"EU je vsem stranem priporočala, naj ravnajo zadržano.
It is therefore to be condemned that journalists and correspondents have been expelled from Tibet".
Kitajske oblasti je pozvala, naj se odpovedo uporabi sile proti protestnikom ter naj se na demonstracije odzovejo v skladu z mednarodno sprejetimi demokratičnimi načeli.
Mr Pöttering then said that while he himself was due to attend the opening ceremony of the games in August, "Every responsible politician must ask the question, whether he can take part in the opening ceremony if the Chinese leadership does not seek dialogue and compromise".
Hkrati je Svet protestnike pozval, naj se odrečejo nasilju, in poudaril, da pripisuje velik pomen pravici do svobode izražanja in mirnega protesta. (...)
"We wish to contribute to an outcome whereby the world's athletes can meet in fair and free competitions in Beijing.
Kitajsko vlado pozvali, naj se odzove na skrbi Tibetancev glede spoštovanja človekovih pravic.
But our values and our self-respect will not allow us to surrender our principles.
EU tudi obe strani spodbuja, naj vzpostavita konstruktiven dialog.
We in the European Parliament have a special responsibility in this regard."
Unija je Kitajsko pozvala, naj neodvisnim mednarodnim medijem dovoli vstop v Tibet.
He then called for both sides to show restraint and try to "establish a constructive dialogue.
Oblasti so odgovorile, da naj bi v naslednjih dneh skupini evropskih novinarjev omogočila dostop in s tem tudi poročanje s tega območja.
The Council hoped China would allow independent media to re-enter Tibet soon.
Ministri EU, pristojni za šport, so se na neformalnem ministrskem srečanju v Sloveniji izrekli proti bojkotu olimpijskih iger, predsedstvo pa tudi meni, da bojkot v letu medkulturnega dialoga ne bi bil pravi odgovor na odprta politična vprašanja in bi lahko pomenil izgubljeno priložnost za promocijo spoštovanja človekovih pravic.
According to the minister, a recent meeting of EU sports ministers voted against a boycott of the Olympic Games, believing instead that the games can help promote human rights.
Državni sekretar je še povedal, da se je slovenski zunanji minister Rupel včeraj po telefonu pogovarjal s kitajskim kolegom Yang Jiechijem in ponovil željo EU, da bi kitajske oblasti in dalajlama oziroma njegovi predstavniki čim prej začeli z dialogom.
He concluded by telling MEPs that the Slovenian foreign minister has asked his Chinese counterpart to engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama and to release all peaceful protestors.
Komisarka za zunanje odnose Benita Ferrero-Waldner je prav tako izrazila zaskrbljenost Komisije, saj nasilje nikoli ni opravičljivo, ter pozvala kitajske oblasti, naj se vzdržijo pri uporabi sile.
Benita Ferrero-Waldner European Commissioner for External Relations said that the debate was timely as EU foreign Ministers were due to discuss this soon.
Zavzela se je za to, da se neodvisnim medijem omogoči poročanje iz Tibeta in pozdravila kitajsko napoved, da bodo mediji lahko odpotovali na območje med 26. in 28. marcem.
The Commission, she said, was "deeply concerned about the unrest and the violence, violence is never justifiable".
Tibetanske in kitajske predstavnike pa je vnovič pozvala k vzpostavitvi dialoga.
Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner called on the Chinese authorities to exercise maximum restraint and not to use force.
Komisarka je dodala, da je mednarodna skupnost vedno spoštovala ozemeljsko celovitost Kitajske, vendar pa so človekove pravice mednarodna in ne le notranja zadeva posamezne države, ljudje pa bi morali imeti vedno pravico do mirnih demonstracij.
She also called for independent media access in Tibet and welcomed the announcement from the Chinese of an upcoming media visit on 26-28 March which would include international correspondents.
Po njenem mnenju olimpijske igre niso politični dogodek, zato morajo potekati v olimpijskem duhu, ki pa zajema tudi svobodo govora in svobodo poročanja.
The Commissioner called for substantial dialogue between the Chinese and the Tibetans.
Zato od kitajskih oblasti zahtevamo, da prenehajo z nasiljem.
The Olympic Games, the Commissioner said, are not a political event.
Dialog mora biti tisti, ki bo vodil v prihodnost.
She called for the event to be carried out in respect of the Olympic spirit which included the freedom of speech and freedom of the media.
Dalajlama je moralni vzor in naš prijatelj, pozdravljamo njegovo odgovorno ravnanje."
He welcomed the statement of President Pöttering, pointing out that 'we should use all our means to press the unwilling Chinese authorities to stop violence and respect human and minority rights.'
Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (PES, IT): "Pomembno je, da se oglasimo kot Evropski parlament, ko gre za tragične dogodke v Tibetu.
Pasqualina NAPOLETANO (IT) for the PES began by stating that 'I hope it's going to be useful to raise the voice of the European Parliament' in this respect.
Tudi dalajlama je zaprosil za obisk neodvisne komisije, da bi se prepričala o dejanskih razmerah.
She emphasised that the request of the Dalai Lama for an independent commission to go to Tibet should be acted upon to 'shed light' on events there and that a negotiated solution should be found which would respect the existing UN resolutions.
Vemo, da je veliko ljudi mučenih, da so izginili.
With regard to the Dalai Lama in particular, Ms Napoletano pointed out that 'the political role of the Dalai Lama cannot be substituted' and that he is the 'guarantor of balance.'
Po drugi strani pa smo bili v preteklih dnevih in tednih priča dramatičnemu razvoju dogodkov, ki zahteva vključevanje tudi OZN.
She said that 'if the Chinese really want peace, they must accept [his] role.'
Pri tem je vloga dalajlame nepogrešljiva, zagotavlja določeno ravnovesje, ki ne zanemarja spoštovanja človekovih pravic in po drugi strani ne sili v neodvisnost Tibeta.
In conclusion, Ms Napoletano stated that the isolation of China will not help the Tibetan cause or human rights in general.
Če kitajske oblasti res želijo mir, morajo priznati in spoštovati politično vlogo dalajlame."
She called on the Council to 'shoulder [its] responsibility ..[..].. we do not need a gesture', she said, we need a coherent policy.
Marco PANNELLA (ALDE, IT): "Pred 70 leti je Evropa domovin je izjavila, da ne želi umirati.
Marco PANNELLA (IT) for the ALDE group reminded his colleagues of the Europe which existed 70 years ago - the 'cowardly, anti-liberal Europe' of fatherlands which said they 'weren't going to die for Danzig.'
Ta nesposobna in lažniva Evropa, v celoti neliberalna, je bila soavtorica najbolj tragičnih dogodkov v zgodovini človeštva.
Mr Pannella asked his colleagues to read Spinelli again and to compare that manifesto with the words of the Dalai Lama.
Danes po različnih poteh ne želimo umirati za Darfur, ne želimo umirati za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo, za Tibet.
He pointed out that 'we in Europe are being cowardly ... we're losing the sand through our fingers.'
Poglejte si, kaj je v svojem manifestu zapisal Spinelli in poslušajte dalajlamo, ki se zavzema za avtonomijo, za svobodni Tibet, svobodno Kitajsko.
Speaking of recent statements by Javier Solana, Mr Pannella asked that the EU should act according to 'the realism of the Dalai Lama' - that we 'should not look at things in apocalyptic terms' but should rather adopt a more pragmatic approach.
Tam je zapisano vse, kar je osnova Evrope, ki jo izgubljamo. (...)
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (IT) for the UEN group by saying that due to the imminence of the Olympic Games, 'we all entertained hopes that China's development was not just that of an economic and trade power.'
Ozrimo se na realizem dalajlame in današnjih obiskovalcev.
She pointed out that China did speak of giving rise to 'a harmonious world'.
Ta nam pravi, da ne smemo apokaliptično obravnavati teh olimpijskih iger, vendar če ne gremo tja, če ne gremo na otvoritev, bomo povedali svoje."
The reality, Ms Muscardini reminded her colleagues, is very different.
Če v Tibetu ne bo avtonomije, če se bo stvar zaostrila in če kitajske oblasti ne bodo začele konstruktivnega dialoga z dalajlamo, potem moramo prekiniti naše pogodbe in gospodarske odnose.
The Chinese 'refuse to have a constructive dialogue with the Tibetans.'
Sodelovali bomo na olimpijskih igrah, vendar le, če se bodo spoštovale človekove pravice."
Ms Muscardini spoke of the necessity to review trade agreements with China in this context and concluded by stating that the Olympic Games can only take place if commitments in the realm of human rights are made.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Zeleni/EFA, DE): "Evropski voditelji že 10 let igrajo določeno vlogo pri tem, da se še vedno teptajo človekove pravice na Kitajskem.
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE), speaking for the Greens/EFA group, said that for the last ten years European leaders had played a role in the "Olympics of indifference", allowing human rights to be trampled on.
Mislim, da ne smemo prisostvovati na otvoritvi iger, kajti to je politično dejanje.
He said the EU "must all together refuse to attend the opening ceremony of the Games".
Ne gre le za Kitajsko in Tibet, gre za nekaj, kar je treba razumeti kot priložnost za šport in demokracijo."
"We insist as Greens that anyone going to Beijing should create chaos by making their point and letting the Chinese know we are aware of what is going on."
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (GUE/NGL, IT): "Zaščita človekovih pravic na Kitajskem se ne začne in ne konča z olimpijskimi igrami.
Vittorio AGNOLETTO (IT) (GUE/NGL) said that defence of human rights in China does not start or finish with the Olympics.
V mednarodnih odnosih je na prvo mesto treba postaviti človekove pravice in če bi bilo temu res tako, bi EU ne le preprečila izbor Pekinga za prizorišče iger, ampak bi v trgovinskih sporazumih s Kitajsko zahtevala klavzulo o spoštovanje človekovih pravic. (...)
If in international relations, governments had to put respect for human rights first, not only would they have been against China having the Olympic Games, but trade agreements with China would have human rights clauses in them.
Prepričani smo, da so igre enkratna priložnost za mednarodno skupnost, da prisili Kitajsko ne le diplomatsko, ampak tudi s konkretnimi ukrepi, da izpusti zaprte, omogoči dostop medijev v Tibet in doseže sporazum, ki bo sprejemljiv tudi za tibetansko ljudstvo."
"As it is," he said, "24 million people in China are employed by western companies, so we are in bed with them and tolerating it for the sake of global trade".
Patrick LOUIS (IND/DEM, FR): "Odziv evropskih voditeljev ni pravi.
Patrick LOUIS (FR), speaking for the Ind/Dem group was critical of Bernard Kouchner (French Foreign Minister) for constantly referring to 'our Chinese friends' and failing to acknowledge what is actually happening.
Resnično se moramo vprašati, ali je možno govoriti v imenu človekovih pravic, kajti Kitajci so prepričani, da so vredni več kot ostali del sveta in komunizem je to le še okrepil."
"European leaders will be guilty if they fail to recognise what is happening in Tibet", he said.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (samostojni poslanci, FR): "Pred 113 leti je francoski socialist Jean Jaurès dejal, da kapitalizem nosi seme vojne, tako kot oblaki nosijo zametek viharja.
Bruno GOLLNISCH (FR) (Non-attached) said that 113 years ago the French Socialist Jean Jaurès had said that capitalism contains within it the seeds of war, as clouds foresee a tempest.
Jezik, kultura - vse to izginja, vse to želijo izbrisati."
MEPs debate the outcome of the latest Spring Summit
Svet je na področjih znanja in inovacij, spodbujanja podjetniškega potenciala, modernizacije trgov dela ter podnebnih sprememb in energetike določili naslednje ukrepe:
Slovenian Prime Minister Janš a underlined "in the field of knowledge and innovation , the European Council therefore introduced a ‘fifth freedom’ to remove barriers to the free movement of knowledge.
- Na področju znanja in inovacij : "peto svoboščino", ki bo odpravila prepreke za prost pretok znanja.
It will enable the mobility of talent and open access to knowledge and innovation, which will attract even more Europeans to creative processes.
- Za krepitev konkurenčnosti podjetij : ukrepe za lažje delovanje in hitrejši razvoj na enotnem trgu.
New opportunities to tap European research and development potential are also provided by the establishment of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology approved by the European Parliament two weeks ago."
- V boju proti podnebnim spremembam so voditelji podprli strateški načrt za energetske tehnologije, ki predstavlja osnovo za koordinirane evropske politike na tem področju, ter podporo eko in zeleni industriji.
Only with the timely adoption of the package will we justify the expectations of the citizens of Europe and send a positive signal to our partners throughout the world, especially in the light of negotiations on a comprehensive post-Kyoto agreement next year in Copenhagen".
Energetsko-podnebni sveženj : dogovor do konca leta 2008 in s tem pravočasni sprejem svežnja.
On the Union for the Mediterranean and the new reflection on the eastern dimension, Prime Minister Janša said "a great deal of attention was paid to the agreement on strengthening the Barcelona Process.
Evropski svet je potrdil tri temeljna načela: gospodarska uspešnost in stroškovna učinkovitost, solidarnost in pravičnost ter preglednost.
In my view, the major achievement was placing a debate that was previously limited to closed circles and informal channels on an institutional footing.
Glede krize na finančnih trgih so se predsedniki držav in vlad članic zavzeli za ukrepe, ki bodo izboljšali njihovo delovanje in preglednost.
Within the Barcelona Process – the Union for the Mediterranean will involve all EU Member States and other non-EU Mediterranean states.
Evropski svet je še sprejel odločitev, da bodo v Barcelonskem procesu - Uniji za Sredozemlje sodelovale vse države članice EU in ostale sredozemske države, vzporedno pa se mora krepiti tudi vzhodna dimenzija Evropske sosedske politike.
Since the Slovenian Presidency is striving for a balanced approach to the neighbourhood of the European Union, we also wish to draw attention to the eastern dimension of European Neighbourhood Policy, which must be strengthened in line with the Mediterranean dimension.
Predsednik vlade Janša je v zaključku poudaril, da je na Evropskem svetu prevladalo spoznanje, da "noben ukrep sam po sebi ni učinkovit, če ga z ostalimi ukrepi ne povežemo v smiselno celoto.
A more comprehensive debate based on the detailed proposal put forward by our Polish colleagues is expected to take place at the European Council in June."
Na dolgi rok ne gre za brezosebne ukrepe; gre za mnogo več, gre za temeljne premike: za spreminjanje navad oziroma našega načina življenja. (...)
However, I also consider the fact that we succeeded in avoiding certain debates which threatened to draw attention away from key development problems one of our achievements.
Naučiti se moramo hitrega kroženja znanja in okolju prijaznih navad.
President Barroso began by speaking of the 'importance of partnership' between EU institutions.
Najučinkovitejše učno sredstvo so dobri zgledi.
He reminded MEPs that 'all those ambitions that [were] set when the economic climate was more favourable still hold in rougher waters'.
Vlade držav članic smo se zato na Evropskem svetu zavezale, da bomo znižale porabo energije v svojih stavbah in voznih parkih ter do leta 2010 vsem šolam zagotovile hitro internetno povezavo."
Mr Barroso spoke of the current climate, in particular the slowdown in the US and the 'backdrop of continuing turmoil' on European financial markets.
Predsednik Komisije José Manuel Barroso je poudaril pomen partnerstva med evropskimi institucijami in skupnih ciljev za doseganje konkretnih rezultatov.
He called for confidence and vigilance to be displayed by the EU in its actions.
Glede trenutne finančne krize pa je dejal, da mora Unija ostati samozavestna in pripravljena na ukrepanje.
Congratulating the Presidency on the recent summit, Mr Barroso spoke of the 'fresh impetus' which had been given to the revised Lisbon Strategy.
Barroso je čestital Predsedstvu Sveta za uspešen vrh, ki je dal nov zagon Lizbonski strategiji in pozdravil zelo pozitiven sporazum med socialnimi partnerji o prožni varnosti trga delovne sile.
He mentioned the recent 'very positive' agreement between the social partners and particularly the importance of flexicurity.
