Read on to find out what being an MEP's assistant means.
Kako lahko postaneš asistent?
How do you become an Assistant?
Kar imajo skupnega, je zanimanje za politiko, zlasti evropsko.
What they do share however, is an enthusiasm for politics - and particularly European politics.
Ali potrebuješ študij političnih ved?
Is it necessary to have studied the European Union?
Zagotovo ne, čeprav lahko takšen študij samo koristi.
Certainly not, although it may help.
Zlasti pomembno je znanje tujih jezikov, saj ne smemo pozabiti, da Parlament razpravlja v vseh 22 uradnih jezikih.
This also applies to foreign languages - especially with the Parliament now holding debates in 22 languages to reflect its linguistic make-up.
Poslanci, ki so v Parlamentu začetniki, ali tisti, ki ne govorijo tekoče tujih jezikov, bodo želeli asistenta z izkušnjami.
In particular an MEP who is new to the House or may not be fluent in a foreign language may lean heavily on an experienced assistant.
Latvijska asistentka Guna o ustrezni izobrazbi pravi sledeče: »Menim, da ni prave ali napačne izobrazbe.
The type of education that may be useful was summed up by a Latvian assistant Guna: "I believe there is no right or wrong education to become an assistant.
Jaz sem na primer študirala teologijo.
For example I have a degree in sciences of religion and theology.
Tu gre bolj za osebnost posameznika in njegove cilje.«
It is more about personality and the goals one has".
Francoska asistentka Anne-Laure pa meni, da ti lahko znanje o evropskih institucijah prihrani veliko časa.
French assistant Anne-Laure says that already having knowledge of the EU institutions "can save you a lot of time".
Ali moraš pristopiti k politični skupini poslanca?
Do I have to belong to the same political "family" as my MEP?
Mnogi asistenti so pripadniki enake politične stranke ali skupine, kot njihov poslanec.
Many assistants are from the same political party or group as their MEP.
Portugalski asistent Tomé je bil denimo na Portugalskem dejaven kot mladi socialist, preden je nato pristopil k skupini socialnih demokratov v Parlamentu.
Tomé, a Portuguese assistant said he was involved in the "young socialists" back home before coming to the Socialist Group in the Parliament.
Anne-Laure meni, da je bistvenega pomena, da si istega političnega prepričanja kot je tvoj šef in da verjameta v iste vrednote.
For Anne- Laure it is "fundamental" to be of the same political persuasion as her boss - she says that sharing the same "values and convictions" is vital.
Nekateri poslanci celo želijo asistente, ki so apolitični, saj je lahko nepristranski nasvet zelo koristen.
Some MEPs in fact prefer "apolitical" assistants as they feel that dispassionate advice and counsel is more rewarding.
Kakšne lastnosti mora imeti asistent?
What skills do I need?
Tako izkušnje kot veselje do dela so ključnega pomena, meni Anne-Claire, saj so delovni dnevi lahko zelo dolgi.
A level of experience is the key as is "the desire to do it" says Anne-Claire as the working days are long.
Latvijska asistentka Guna pojasnjuje, da so vsem asistentom skupna mnogovrstna opravila, zato mora asistent imeti dobre organizacijske sposobnosti, mora hitro ukrepati ter se hitro prilagajati novim okoliščinam.
Guna, a Latvian assistant, explains that "multitasking is a common part of an assistant's workday, therefore it is necessary to be well organised, to react fast and quickly adapt to new circumstances".
Jaenette pa meni, da mora biti asistent potrpežljiv in prilagodljiv, ter učinkovit pri reševanju problemov.
For Jeanette a good assistant needs to show "patience and flexibility, be efficient and a problem solver".
Če menite, da bi vas takšno delo zanimalo, potem se obrnite na poslanca ali pisarno politične stranke v vaši državi.
If you think you would like to do this, then you could contact your MEP directly or the office of a political party in your own country.
Ne smemo pozabiti, da asistente ne zaposluje Parlament temveč evropski poslanci oziroma država, iz katere izhajajo.
Loaded with files in the foyer of the Parliament in Brussels It is important to remember that assistants are not employed by the Parliament but by MEPs.
To pomeni, da za asistente velja nacionalna delovna zakonodaja in da so na delu v tujini.
This means they are employed under national law (in their home countries) and work abroad.
To lahko vodi do zapletov glede socialne varnosti, pokojnine, zdravstvenega zavarovanja in drugega.
This can raise complications about social security, pensions, health insurance and so forth.
Novi statut glede plač evropskih poslancev bo začel veljati leta 2009 in mnogi upajo, da se bo tudi zapleteni način plač asistentov poenostavil in izboljšal.
A new pay statute will apply for MEPs after 2009 and many are hopeful that the complicated nature of assistant's salaries and benefits can be simplified and improved.
Joeri Hamvas, ki je član združenja asistentov Evropskega parlamenta, je poln upanja.
Joeri Hamvas of the European Parliament's Assistants Association is hopeful.
Pravi, da bo s statutom evropskih poslancev leta 2009 odpravljena največja ovira na poti do statuta za asistente.
"Now that the MEP statute will come into force in 2009, the biggest obstacle to having a statute for assistants has been removed".
Podpredsednik Evropskega parlamenta Gerard Onesta se že leta ukvarja s tem vprašanjem in išče najboljšo možno rešitev.
One of the Parliament's Vice-President Gerard Onesta has been working on finding a solution to this issue for several years.
Od asistenta do poslanca?
After being an Assistant: an MEP?
Kariera asistentov pa se seveda nadaljuje in nekateri izmed njih postanejo tudi evropski poslanci.
Several assistants have gone on to become MEPs like Antonio López Istúriz.
Nekdanji asistent in današnji poslanec Antonio López Istúriz pravi: "Ko si izvoljen za evropskega poslanca, potrebuješ najprej določen čas, da ugotoviš, kako lahko v tej kompleksni in ogromni hiši deluješ kar se da učinkovito.
"When appointed as an MEP in Brussels, you need a certain time to know how to work efficiently in this complex and huge House.
Osebno mi je bila prihranjena marsikatera nevšečnost, saj sem imel potrebne izkušnje, ki sem jih pridobil v času, ko sem bil asistent.
As I was an assistant before, I saved a lot of time.
Španci bi dejali: da postaneš dober natakar, moraš najprej delati v kuhinji."
As we say in Spain: 'before being a waiter, you have to work in the kitchen".
Tudi Kathalijne Maria Buitenweg je bila nekoč asistentka.
Kathalijne Maria Buitenweg (also formerly an assistant) agreed: "my previous experience helped me a lot to get through the first few months.
Pravi, da so ji te izkušnje pomagale, da se je že v prvem mesecu dobro znašla in začela opravljati delo poslanke s polno paro.
I could work from the very first days".
Nekdanja švedska asistentka Sofija meni, da se kot asistent naučiš delati v zelo intenzivnih okoliščinah, določati prioritete in dajati nasvete glede političnih vprašanj ter o slednjih poročati volilnemu okrožju.
As to other possibilities, Sofia, a former Swedish assistant said: "as an assistant you are used to working in a very intense environment, to prioritising and giving advice on political issues...and communicating it to the electorate.
Tudi nekdanja finska asistentka Hannariikka je ubrala to pot in je trenutno zaposlena v direktoratu za informiranje v Evropskem parlamentu.
Former Finnish assistant Hannariikka chose this route and now works for the Information Directorate of the Parliament.
"Kot asistent imaš možnost, da lahko slediš vsemu, kar je na dnevnem redu Evropskega parlamenta.
“As an assistant you normally get to follow a bit of everything on the EP agenda.
Prisoten si, ko se sprejemajo pomembne odločitve in zakonodaja.
To be in the middle of it when decisions take place and legislation is adopted - and to take part in preparing them: what could be a better preparation for a competition than learning by doing?”
Prav tako sodeluješ pri pripravi zakonodaje.
Assistants in their own words
Ali ni prav to najboljša priprava za konkur?
All smiles: you can only be an assistant if you enjoy it.
Learning by doing. " meni Hannariikka.
You have read what it can be like to be an assistant - but now let's hear what the assistants themselves have to say about it.
In kakšno je mnenje asistentov o svojem delu?
Here's a selection of quotes to give you a flavour of the work.
Luciano Gaudio, italijanski asistent: "Delo je podobno delu poslancev: včasih dobimo telefonske klice, ko nam ljudje postavljajo smešna vprašanja, kot denimo, ali lahko poslanec reši ta svet."
"It is a very intensive working-relationship and you need to multi-task constantly - you are involved in shaping the EU's future".
Lisa Bauer, nemška asistentka: "Je zelo intenzivno delovno okolje in opravljati moraš več stvari hkrati.
Lisa Bauer, assistant to a German member.
Pravzaprav si prisoten pri oblikovanju evropske prihodnosti."
"Working as an Assistant to an MEP can vary from being very exciting to pretty annoying and frustrating, all depends on the MEP you work with".
Veliko je odvisno od poslanca, za katerega delaš. "
Andrea, assistant to an Italian MEP.
Andrea, italijanski asistent: "Si neke vrste namestnik brez portfelja "
"It's a unique experience and indeed a privileged position, which contributes effectively to widen your knowledge and go much beyond even the European sphere".
Silvia Bartolini, italijanska asistentka: "To je enkratna priložnost in dejansko privilegirana situacija, saj se neprestano učiš nekaj novega in si širiš obzorje."
Silvia Bartolini, assistant to an Italian member.
Anonimen poljski asistent: "Je zelo nenavadno in intenzivno delo, ki traja v pozne ure.
It's a very bizarre work, no private life nearly and is very intensive with very long working hours.
Prostora in časa za privatno življenje praktično ni."
It's like a "fabrika". (what Polish people call a place you never leave and which determines your private life- ed).
Je kot osebna veza: lahko deluje ali pa ne. "
Cezary Koczerga , assistant to a Polish member.
Nujnost ukrepanja za omilitev vpliva rastočih cen energije na gospodarstvo
Call for action to soften economic impact of rising energy prices
Parlament opozarja, da mora Evropa čim prej ukrepati, če želi preprečiti negativne posledice rastočih cen energije za evropsko gospodarstvo.
Europe should act now to prevent increasing energy prices damaging Europe’s economy, according to MEPs.
Med drugim ugotavlja, da se bo v nasprotnem primeru odvisnost Unije od uvoza energije do leta 2030 zvišala s sedanjih 50 na 70 odstotkov.
Parliament adopted a report on Thursday which says that if no action is taken, Europe’s dependency on energy imports will rise from 50 per cent today to 71 per cent in 2030.
Dokument med drugim ugotavlja razliko med sedanjim zvišanjem cen nafte in zvišanjem cen v času naftnih šokov v začetku 70-ih in 80-ih let, ki je bilo povezano z zmanjšanjem ponudbe in prehodnega značaja.
They call for a massive investment in energy infrastructure and supply and new measures to improve energy-efficiency.
Bistveni del sedanjega zvišanja cen nafte pa je povzročilo hitro naraščajoče povpraševanje, na primer Kitajske, in tudi visoka poraba v ZDA, zato se lahko pričakuje, da bo vsaj del te podražitve ostal trajen.
The report, drawn up by Manuel Antonio dos Santos (PES, PT), notes that the present increase in oil prices is of a similar scale to those of the 1970s and early 1980s, but differs from those shocks in that a substantial element is caused by growing demand from economies such as China, so part of the rise will be permanent.
Ekonomski vpliv podražitev na revnejše sloje
Economic impact – especially on the poorest
Poslanci poudarjajo, da zvišanje cen nafte močno vpliva na EU kot neto uvoznico, saj zmanjšuje rast BDP, naložbe in zaposlovanje ter povečuje inflacijski pritisk in zvišuje obrestne mere.
MEPs stress the tangible effect of oil price increases on the EU, which have reduced growth, investment and employment while increasing inflationary pressure and interest rates.
Opozarjajo pa tudi na socialne posledice povečanih stroškov za stanovanje, ogrevanje in prevoz, zlasti za revne in izpostavljene sloje prebivalstva z nizkimi dohodki.
They note in particular the social consequences of higher energy prices, which hit the poorest and most vulnerable especially hard.
Prevoz in stanovanje sta prvi postavki izdatkov gospodinjstev, zato rast cene nafte povečuje razlike v kupni moči v škodo gospodinjstev z najnižjimi dohodki.
The transport and housing sectors in particular are most affected, say MEPs.
Parlament poziva k celoviti strategiji za postopno ukinitev uporabe fosilnih goriv v prometnem sektorju, kar bi pomenilo postopno zmanjšanje odvisnosti EU od nafte ter postopoma večjo uporabo čistih virov energije v prometu.
The report includes a call for a comprehensive EU strategy to phase out fossil fuels in the transport sector, while expanding the use of unconventional fuels.
Komisija in Svet bi morala izdelati podroben načrt za zmanjšanje odvisnosti EU od uvoza nafte in za preusmeritev k čisti energiji.
It asks the Commission and Council to draw up a detailed plan to reduce EU dependence on oil imports and for a shift toward clean energy.
Parlament tudi zahteva sprejetje ukrepov za izboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti in opozarja, da je energetska učinkovitost običajno daleč najcenejši način za zmanjšanje emisij ogljikovega dioksida in povečanje energetske varnosti.
It also urges the adoption of energy efficiency improvements, which, it says, are the cheapest way to cut CO2 emissions and improve energy security.
Ob tem parlament opozarja na možnosti obetavnih trgov za tehnologije na področju pridobivanja energije iz obnovljivih virov in večanje energetske učinkovitosti, pri čemer poudarja pozitivne stopnje rasti in zaposlovanja v tem in opozarja, da bodo ZDA in visoko usposobljena nastajajoča gospodarstva lahko prevzela vodstvo na trgu okoljskih tehnologij.
Fiscal policy should be used to encourage these moves, and public procurement selection criteria should include energy efficiency.
Poslanci še pozivajo k oblikovanju celostnega mehanizma za varnost oskrbe v izrednih razmerah, tako da se najnižje zaloge nafte v EU povečajo z 90 na 120 dni porabe in razvijejo najnižje zaloge plina za vsaj 90 dni.
The report calls for an integrated EU emergency mechanism for security of supply to increase the minimum oil stock from 90 to 120 consumption days and develop a minimum gas stock of at least 90 days and expresses regret that the Commission did not suggest doing so in its proposals of 10 January.
Predlagajo tudi, da bi tedenska objava podatkov (na podlagi podatkov v splošni rabi, kakor v ZDA) o evropskih zalogah nafte in naftnih proizvodih ter o uvozu in izvozu, razčlenjenih po vrstah proizvodov (surova nafta, bencin, dizel, kurilno olje in drugo), bolje odražala pritiske na svetovnih trgih, prikazovala raven evropske potrošnje, zmanjšala občutljivost tržnih operaterjev na spreminjanje ameriških zalog ter tako zmanjšala nestanovitnost cen nafte.
Parliament suggests following the US model of publishing weekly breakdowns of European oil and oil product stocks.
Giovanni Claudio Fava: Poročilo o prevozu in nezakonitem pridržanju ujetnikov
Giovanni Claudio Fava - rapporteur on report into CIA renditions
Poslanci Evropskega parlamenta so v sredo s 382 glasovi za, 256 proti in 74 vzdržanimi glasovi sprejeli končno poročilo začasnega odbora za preučitev domnevne uporabe evropskih držav za prevoz in nezakonito pridržanje ujetnikov s strani obveščevalne agencije Cia.
Over one thousand CIA-operated flights used European airspace from 2001 to 2005 and temporary secret detention facilities "may have been located at US military bases" in Europe, says the European Parliament in its final report on illegal CIA activities in Europe, adopted 14 February.
Poročilo ugotavlja, da so bile nekatere države članice zelo pasivne do teh dogajanj in je kritično do Sveta EU, ker ni sodeloval s parlamentom med potekom preiskave.
The report, which deplores the passivity of some Member States in the face of illegal CIA operations, as well as the lack of co-operation from the EU Council of Ministers, was approved with 382 votes in favour, 256 against with 74 abstentions.
Poslanci obžalujejo, da so se evropske države odrekle nadzoru nad svojim zračnim prostorom in letališči, ko so namerno spregledale ali dovolile lete, ki jih je upravljala Cia in so v nekaterih primerih služili izrednim izročitvam ali nezakonitemu prevozu zapornikov.
According to the text - originally drafted by the Parliament's Temporary Committee on the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for illegal activities (TDIP) - European countries have been "turning a blind eye" to flights operated by the CIA which, "on some occasions, were being used for extraordinary rendition or the illegal transportation of detainees."
Poslanci na podlagi zaključkov dela začasnega odbora in dejstev, ki jih je izpostavil med svojim delovanjem, od Sveta pričakujejo, da izvaja pritisk na vse zadevne vlade, da podajo Svetu in Komisiji izčrpne podatke in, kjer je potrebno, da začne z zaslišanji in da takoj naroči neodvisno preiskavo.
With the above in mind, the EP "expects the Council to put pressure on all the governments concerned to give full and thorough information to the Council and the Commission and, where necessary, to start hearings and commission an independent investigation without delay," (the text of the earlier committee report "expected" the Council "to start hearings and commission an independent investigation without delay, as foreseen in Article 7 and, where necessary, to impose sanctions on Member States ")
Poljska: obstoja tajnih centrov v tej državi ni mogoče niti potrditi niti zanikati
"Not possible" to "acknowledge or deny" detention centres in Poland
Parlament ugotavlja, da glede na navedene posredne dokaze ni mogoče niti potrditi niti zanikati, da so na Poljskem obstajali tajni centri za pridržanje.
In an amendment passed with a narrow majority (356 to 323), MEPs noted that, in light of the available "circumstantial evidence", "it is not possible to acknowledge or deny that secret detention centres were based in Poland."
Opozarja na nedoslednosti, saj so zaslišanjem, ki jih je izvedla delegacija začasnega odbora na Poljskem, sledile nasprotujoče si izjave in zmeda glede letalskih dnevnikov, za katere je bilo sprva rečeno, da niso bili ohranjeni, kasneje, da so bili verjetno shranjeni na letališču, in nazadnje, da jih je poljska vlada poslala Svetu Evrope.
As far as Romania is concerned, MEPs concluded that "no definitive evidence has been provided to contradict any of the allegations concerning the running of a secret detention facility on Romanian soil."
Preiskave začasnega odbora so pokazale, da so letala, ki jih je upravljala Cia, od konca leta 2001 do konca leta 2005 opravila najmanj 1245 letov v evropski zračni prostor ali imela postanke na evropskih letališčih, vendar niso bili vsi uporabljeni za izredne izročitve.
“At least 1245 flights operated by the CIA flew into European airspace or stopped over at European airports between the end of 2001 and the end of 2005” although, as MEPs emphasize, “not all those flights have been used for extraordinary rendition”.
Svet EU in države članice zato poziva, da izdajo jasno in prepričljivo deklaracijo, v kateri bodo v skladu s stališčem parlamenta od ameriške administracije zahtevale odpravo prakse izrednih aretacij in izročitev.
Members call on the Council and the Member States, therefore, "to issue a clear and forceful declaration calling on the US Administration to put an end to the practice of extraordinary arrests and renditions."
Poročilo ugotavlja, da so zaslišanja žrtev v večini primerov vključevala pridržanje v osamitvi in mučenje, kar so potrdile same žrtve ali njihovi odvetniki.
The report notes that the renditions investigated by the committee “in the majority of cases involved incommunicado detention and torture” during interrogations, as was confirmed by the victims - or their lawyers - who gave testimony to the Parliament's committee on CIA activities in Europe.
Poslanci so nezadovoljni zaradi premajhnega sodelovanja številnih držav članic in Sveta EU z začasnim odborom in menijo, da je znatno pomanjkanje konkretnih odgovorov na vprašanja, ki jih postavljajo žrtve, nevladne organizacije, mediji in poslanci, le še potrdilo resničnost že znanih obtožb.
MEPs also deplored “the lack of co-operation of many Member States and of the Council of the EU towards the temporary committee” and explained that “the serious lack of concrete answers to the questions raised by victims, NGOs, media and parliamentarians has only strengthened the validity of already well-documented allegations”.
Poročilo je zaradi nesodelovanja še posebej kritično do vlad Avstrije, Italije, Poljske, Portugalske in Velike Britanije.
The national governments specifically criticised for their unwillingness to cooperate with Parliament's investigations were those of Austria, Italy, Poland, Portugal and the UK.
Prinaša pa tudi podrobnosti o preiskavi domnevnih nezakonitih pridržanj v Nemčiji, Švedski, Španiji, Irski, Grčiji, na Cipru, nad Danskem, v Turčiji in Makedoniji (FYROM).
The report also gives detailed evidence of investigations of illegal rendition or CIA flight cases involving Germany, Sweden, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Denmark, Turkey, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Bosnia and Romania.
Nekateri konkretni primeri, ki jih navaja poročilo, so:
Among some of the specific criticisms levelled by the report against European governments are the following:
