Uvedba takšnega sistema bi pomenila prvi primer neposredne demokracije med različnimi državami.
The introduction of such a system by the reform treaty would make it the first example of direct democracy between several different countries.
Mnogi predstavniki medvladnih organizacij so evropskim poslancem dejali, da bi ta poteza naredila institucije bolj odprte za ljudi.
MEPs heard from many NGO representatives who said the move would make the EU's institutions more open to people.
Številni govorci so menili, da bi morali tako državljanom EU, kot tudi vsem ljudem, ki bivajo v Uniji, dovoliti, da se lahko udeležijo zbiranja podpisov.
Several speakers thought that not just EU citizens but people who are resident in the Union should also be allowed to take part.
Milijon podpisov predstavlja 0,2 odstotka prebivalstva EU.
One million signatures represents 0.2% of the EU population.
Poslanci so razpravljali tudi o tem, ali je potrebnih natančno milijon podpisov, ali pa bi bilo sprejemljivih tudi denimo 970 000 podpisov in iz kolikih držav bi ti morali izvirati.
There was some discussion about whether it should be exactly 1 million (for example is 970,000 acceptable?) - and how many countries it should come from.
Ovire ne smejo biti previsoke
Don't set hurdle of participation too high
Profesor Jürgen Meyer, nekdanji član nemškega parlamenta je dejal, da številka milijon da težo, vendar pa ne postavlja ovire previsoko.
Professor Jürgen Meyer, a former member of the Bundestag said that the 1 million mark gave it weight but did not set the hurdle too high.
Poslanci so razpravljali tudi o tem, kako zbirati podpise, jih preverjati in kako dolgo naj bi jih ljudje zbirali.
There was also some debate about how to collect signatures, how they should be verified and how long people should have to collect them.
Ali naj bodo sprejemljivi elektronski podpisi in ali naj ljudje navedejo svoj naslov, sta bili prav tako vprašanji razprave.
Whether electronic signatures were acceptable and should people give their address were also issues.
Predsednik Odbora za upravne zadeve, nemški socialdemokrat Jo Leinen je menil, da bi ideja o podpisih vodila k večji udeleženosti ljudi pri vodenju EU.
The chair of the Constitutional Affairs Committee, German Socialist Jo Leinen thought the signature idea would lead to more involvement by people in the running of the EU.
Izrazil je upanje, da bo reformna pogodba sprejeta še pred evropskimi parlamentarnimi volitvami junija naslednje leto.
He hoped the reform treaty would be adopted before the European parliamentary elections in June next year.
Poslanka Kaufman je dejala, da pobuda odpira vrata neposredni demokraciji in je novo pravno orodje.
Ms Kaufmann said the initiative opens the door for direct democracy and is a new legal tool.
Povedala je še, da je pomembno, da se vključijo tudi pravne tradicije in kulture različnih držav.
She also said that it was important to draw on the legal traditions across different countries and cultures.
Poročilo naj bi bilo pripravljeno do januarja naslednjega leta.
The report is expected by January.

Finančna kriza razburja EU
Financial crisis: MEPs assess EU action and impact
O tem smo se pogovarjali z evropskimi poslanci, ki so člani Odbora za ekonomske in monetarne zadeve.
Ahead of this debate we spoke to leading Members about the state of Europe's financial sector.
Vendar trenutne razmere presegajo domet finančnih trgov in realnih gospodarstev."
We asked what will be the impact of the crisis and what the EU should do about it.
Heide Rühle (Nemčija, Zeleni/EFA): "Izpostavila bi negativne stranske učinke finančnih inovacij in 'listinjenja'.
After the $700 billion bailout in the US, Germany, Greece and Ireland moved quickly to guarantee the value of all the deposits in their banks and shore up confidence.
Pojav inovativnih finančnih produktov, ki temeljijo na dolgu, zavarovanem z nepremičninami, je pri tem igral pomembno vlogo."
Critics of this action have pointed out that such responses undermine a pan-European response.
Kako kriza vpliva na državljane?
What should the EU do?
Pervenche Berès : "Ko so prizadeta gospodarstva, so prizadeti tudi državljani.
The Chair of Parliament's Economics and Monetary Affairs Committee is French Socialist MEP Pervenche Berès : "There is real need for an EU initiative.
Številke zadnjega četrtletja kažejo na to, da nekatera evropska gospodarstva vstopajo v recesijo.
We will face a lack of investment in the EU.
Zagotovo bo kriza vplivala na kupno moč navadnih državljanov, njihova delovna mesta in še kaj."
The Parliament is the right place to discuss the EU proposal".
Margaritis Schinas (Grčija, EPP-ED): "Kriza močno vpliva na evropske državljane.
Greek MEP Margaritis Schinas (EPP-ED) feels opinion is divided on the state of the economy: "We need new rules for the new economy.
Ima posledice na svetovno ekonomsko ozračje in psihologijo.
There is one school of thought that says this is the end of the free market, the end of capitalism.
Po petih do šestih letih brezvetrja je ta kriza za njih pravo presenečenje.
The party is over, but not for the private economies".
Kriza pa bo manj prizadela prebivalce južnih držav, saj njihova gospodarstva tradicionalno niso izpostavljena vplivu dogajanja na ameriških trgih."
German Green MEP Heide Rühle feels a mere quick fix is not the answer: "A financial system bail-out is far from enough.
Mariela Velichkova Baeva: "Varčevanje in investiranje sta ključna za delovanje makroekonomskega sistema.
We need structural policy changes, among which tighter financial regulation.
Gospodarska rast je odvisna od usklajenosti teh dejavnosti.
So much risk is hidden in the market by complex financial systems that it becomes increasingly hard for national market supervisors to really assess the situation".
Če bodo trenutne okoliščine zameglile obete za prihodnost, potem se lahko naložbeni načrti drastično porušijo.
Bulgarian Liberal MEP Mariela Velichkova Baeva said "we cannot expect that EU will influence the trend of economic events.
Posledica je manjši razpoložljivi dohodek in manjša poraba potrošnikov."
When the decisions of business are so laden with social consequences, intervention is called for".
Kaj lahko stori Evropa?
How will it impact on us?
Pervenche Berès : "Likvidnostne finančne injekcije Evropske centralne banke ne zadostujejo.
Pervenche Berès said that "we see some EU economies entering recession.
Parlament je pravo mesto za razprave o predlogih EU, čeprav nima pristojnosti, da bi dajanja pobude."
Europeans have been used to the relative stability of the eurozone with its low interest rates, so all this comes as a surprise after 5 to 6 years of calm".
Obstaja pa tudi teorija, ki pravi, da je to priložnost za določitev novih pravil za novo gospodarstvo z boljšo zakonodajno zaščito celotnega finančnega sistema in boljšim nadzorom nad bonitetnimi agencijami ter z bolj učinkovitimi pravili za banke, zlasti glede njihove izpostavljenosti tveganim posojilom in dolgovom v Evropi.
Mariela Velichkova Baeva was worried that "when the outlook for the future is blurred by the circumstances we have, investment plans can drop dramatically - slowing - down consumer spending".
Zabave je konec, vendar ne za zasebna gospodarstva."
Who is to blame for the current mess?
Heide Rühle: "Za odpravo bistva težav še zdaleč ne zadostuje le jamstvo držav.
Pervenche Berès told us that "the situation in Europe is coupled with the U.S. The measures taken so far only really tackle the problem of liquidity.
Potrebujemo spremembe v strukturni politiki, kamor sodijo tudi strožja finančna pravila, revizija metod, ki se uporabljajo pri ocenjevanju tveganj in okrepljen nadzor.
The situation now goes beyond that to the financial markets and the real underlying economies".
Dandanes je na trgu prisotnih veliko tveganj, zato telesa, ki nadzorujejo nacionalne trge vse težje ocenijo dejanski položaj."
Margaritis Schinas is a firm believer that the position in America is worse than that of Europe.
Mariela Velichkova Baeva: "Ne moremo pričakovati, da bo Evropska unija vplivala na razvoj gospodarskih dogodkov.
"In the States, for every dollar of real investment banks lend something like 32 dollars, whereas in Europe for one dollar of real deposit we lend 12", he told us.
Prepoznati in tolmačiti moramo signale, ki nam jih pošilja trg.
Heide Rühle boiled down the problem to one of "the emergence of innovative financial products, which boil down to variants of debt secured on real assets has played a key role in the contagion of the risk".
Potrebujemo kar se da majhne, vendar učinkovite posege, ki bi popravili tržne napake in izboljšali delovanje gospodarstva."
Mariela Velichkova Baeva the cause is "the quest for profits; the lack of knowledge for the real state of the market and its potential to face a cataclysm".

Poslanci ocenili problematične razmere v Bolgariji
Bulgaria's frozen EU funds: MEPs investigate
Odločitev je sledila preiskavam Evropskega urada za boj proti goljufijam (OLAF) in poročiloma Komisije.
Eyes on Bulgaria: MEPs Gerardo Galeote (top) and Nils Lundgren In July Bulgaria had up to a billion euros of EU funding suspended over corruption fears.
Preiskave so pokazale, da ima Bolgarija, ki je članica Unije od leta 2007, resne težave pri izvajanju številnih programov EU.
The result has been that a whole array of projects - from road building to job creation - have stopped.
Njena administrativna zmožnost je šibka, obstajajo pa tudi resne domneve o nepravilnostih ter sumi o goljufijah in navzkrižnih interesih pri dodeljevanju javnih naročil.
MEPs from the budget and regional committees have recently been in Bulgaria to see the state of corruption and the impact of the freeze.
Šibak sodni sistem, korupcija, slaba infrastruktura...
"High-ranking people must be put on trial"
Evropski parlament je med 28. septembrom in 2. oktobrom v Bolgarijo poslal dve delegaciji: prva sestavljena iz članov Odbora za proračun, pod vodstvom švedskega poslanca Nilsa Lundgrena (ID) in druga iz članov Odbora za regionalni razvoj, pod vodstvom španskega poslanca Gerarda Galeota.
The head of the Budget delegation - Swedish Independence and Democracy MEP Nils Lundgren - reported what he and fellow MEPs had seen.
Obe delegaciji sta se sestali z vodilnimi bolgarskimi državnimi uradniki.
They visited a motorway project that was long way behind schedule because the contractor is demanding more money for the rising cost of building materials.
Lundgren je po obisku kot največje probleme označil šibak sodni sistem, sodne zaostanke, korupcijo in neustrezne pogodbe.
A poorly drafted contract has made a legal resolution of the dispute unlikely.
Delegacija je obiskala tudi tovarno za predelavo rib in tovarno sladoleda, v obeh pa ni bilo jasno niti to, kdo je njihov lastnik.
He went on to express his concern about the state of Bulgaria's Court system.
"Sodni sistem je zelo šibak.
"Their judicial system is very weak.
Morali ga bodo reformirati, določenim visokim posameznikom pa je treba soditi.
They have to reform it and high-ranking people must be put on trial.
Začeti morajo delovati tako kot to mi želimo," je dejal Lundgren.
They must start acting the way we want them to act" he said.
Galeote pa je opozoril, da zlorabe sredstev ne smemo posploševati.
Improvements expected, but need verification
"Evropska komisija je ukrepala takoj, ko je odkrila težave z enim javnim razpisom - z eno agencijo, ki ni pravilno delovala."
Gerardo Galeote for the regional development delegation said that the misuse of funds should not be generalised to the whole of the country: "The EC took immediate action having found problems with one specific tender - an agency which did not act correctly" she said.
Galeote meni, da si vlada in najpomembnejše opozicijske stranke popolnoma prizadevajo za odpravo korupcije.
The Spanish centre-right MEP considers that the government and most important opposition parties are absolutely committed in the fight against corruption.
Kako naprej?
How can funds be defrosted?
Do takrat pa bodo morale bolgarske zaostale regije shajati brez evropski sredstev, ki jih tako nujno potrebujejo.
In the meantime, Bulgaria's 7.5 million people will not see the investment their country so desperately needs.

15 sekund proti smrtni kazni
15 seconds against the death penalty
Italijanski igralec Raul Bova Ob evropskem dnevu proti smrtni kazni, ki smo ga obeležili pretekli petek, so se zvrstili številni dogodki in razprave na temo človekovih pravic.
More than 15 seconds of fame, Italian actor Raoul Bova Friday marks the European day against the death penalty.
Evropski parlament je ob tej priložnosti gostil italijanski film o smrtni kazni z naslovom 15 sekund – gre za čas, ki potreben, da človek umre na električnem stolu.
As one of several events and debates to mark human rights this week, the European Parliament hosted an Italian film on the death penalty called "15 seconds" - the time an electric chair execution takes.
O filmu smo se pogovarjali z glavnim igralcem Raoulom Bovo.
Main actor Raoul Bova talked to us about the film.
Po ocenah Združenih narodov so lani v 49 državah 5000-krat izvršili smrtno kazen.
The UN estimates that last year alone over 5,000 people were executed by 49 states around the world.
Najhujši rabelj je Kitajska, kjer so leta 2007 usmrtili več kot 470 ljudi, sledita ji Iran z več kot 300 in Saudska Arabija z več kot 140 usmrčenimi ljudmi (vir: Amnesty International).
China is the most prolific executioner with over 470 in 2007, followed by Iran with over 300 and Saudi Arabia with over 140 (source amnesty international).
Navdih za italijanski film je bila resolucija Združenih narodov o moratoriju na smrtno kazen, sprejeta lansko leto.
The film was prompted by a resolution last year by the United Nations calling for a moratorium on the death penalty.
Podprlo jo je 104 držav in je močno orodje v rokah tistih, ki nasprotujejo smrtni kazni.
Supported by 104 countries it was a powerful tool in the hands of those who oppose the death penalty.
Evropski poslanci so pozneje sprejeli resolucijo, ki podpira stališče ZN.
MEPs later passed a resolution supporting the UN's position.
Država nima pravice, da boleče vzame življenje
State has no right to "grievously" take life
Za Raoula Bovo je moratorij korak naprej in povod za upanje, čeprav smrtne kazni dokončno ne ukinja.
However, for Raoul Bova "the moratorium was a step forward, ground for hope...but it falls short of abolition of the death penalty".
Po njegovem mnenju ne bi smeli dovoliti, da se država na tako boleč način obrne proti posameznikom in si domišlja, da ima pravico odločati o življenjih.
He went on to say that "it is intolerable that any State should act so grievously against individuals and that they assume the right to take somebody's life".
Bova, ki je v preteklosti že igral v Shakespearovem Macbethu, uprizoril pa je tudi Svetega Frančiška, je ob tem menil, da je Evropski parlament "najpomembnejšo prizorišče, kjer naj odmeva naše sporočilo."
For 37 year old Bova - whose roles have included Macbeth and playing Saint Francis - "parliament is the most important arena to echo our message".
Film, v katerem igra, so v Parlamentu predvajali 7. julija, gostila pa ga je italijanska poslanka Luisa Morgantini (GUE/NGL).
The film - shown on 7 October - was hosted by Italian MEP Luisa Morgantini (GUE/NGL).
Ta je dejala, da nas film uči o iskanju pravice in ne maščevanja.
She said that "this movie is about learning to seek justice, not revenge".
"Sovražim ljudi, ki samo govorijo"
"I hate people who just talk"
Projektu je bil tudi osebno zavezan: "V ta projekt sem vložil denar in v njem nastopil.
Expressing his personal commitment to the project he said "I have put my money in this project and I have acted in it.
Ne moremo zmeraj čakati na druge, da poiščejo rešitev, ki odpravlja naše težave."
We cannot always wait for somebody else to provide a solution, for somebody else to solve our problems".
V filmu dejanje moža, zaradi katerega je bil obsojen na smrt, ni jasno prikazano.
However, for Bova that is inconsequential: "'it is not right to condemn anyone to death, be they innocent or guilty
Za Bovo je to nepomembno, saj nihče ne bi smel biti obsojen na smrt, pa najsi bo nedolžen ali kriv.
The film continues to be shown at the European Parliament.
Poslanci obsodili pohabljenje ženskih spolnih organov
MEPs condemn female genital mutilation
Letno prizadetih okoli 100 milijonov žensk Na dan so prišli novi razburljivi dokazi o pohabljanju ženskih spolnih organov.
Kenyan girls protest: globally over 100 million are annually affected Alarming new evidence has come to light concerning the practice of female genital mutilation.
Čeprav je ta praksa v vseh državah članicah EU prepovedana, pa je močno razširjena v nekaterih delih sveta in se pojavlja tudi v lokalnih etničnih skupnostih v Evropi.
Although outlawed in all EU countries, the act is still prevalent in parts of the world, and more worryingly occurring in immigrant communities within Europe.
Odbor EP za pravice žensk je 7. oktobra priredil seminar na to temo.
On 7 October, the Women's Rights Committee organised a hearing on the subject.
Evropski parlament je bil zmeraj trden nasprotnik pohabljanja ženskih spolnih organov.
The European Parliament has always been a staunch opponent to gender-based rites of passage including mutilation.
Leta 2001 je sprejel resolucijo, ki prepoveduje to grozljivo nasilje nad ženskami.
In 2001 it passed a resolution condemning the practice.
Italijanska poslanka Cristiana Muscardini (UEN) je kot del trenutne kampanje v Odboru za pravice žensk predstavila poročilo o boju proti tej praksi v Evropi.
As part of an ongoing campaign Cristiana Muscardini (UEN/IT) presented to the committee a report on combating the practice in Europe.
Evropski poslanci so si med seminarjem ogledali video o delu nevladne organizacije Amsopt iz Malija, ki se bori za spremembo vedenja ter osvešča o zdravstvenih in družbenih tveganjih teh surovih in krvavih običajev.
During the hearing MEPs were shown a video illustrating the work of a Mali NGO "AMSOPT" engaged in promoting a change of attitudes and raising awareness of the health and social risks involved.
Mlade deklice zaradi njih pogosto travmatizirajo vse življenje.
Often the brutal practice can cause lifelong trauma to young girls.
"Nevarnosti za otroke"
"Dangers to the child"
Po podatkih Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije pohabljenje ženskih spolnih organov povzroči hude bolečine ter ima številne takojšnje in dolgotrajne posledice za zdravje, vključno s težavami pri porodu, ki lahko ogrozijo tudi otroka.
According to the World Health Organisation, "the practice causes severe pain and has several immediate and long-term health consequences, including difficulties in childbirth also causing dangers to the child".
Poslanka Muscardini je na seminarju dejala, da ta problem v EU še zdaleč ni odpravljen.
Ms Muscardini said at the hearing that "this problem is still far from resolved even in the EU.
Ponovila je čustva mnogih poslancev, ki so predlagali, da je potrebna korenita sprememba v obnašanju tistih, ki izvajajo pohabljanje.
It represents a mutilation to the integration process in the EU, a defamation to gender equality and it has nothing to do with religion".
"Staršem priseljencem bi morali pomagati razumeti, da morajo v državi gostiteljici do določene mere prilagoditi svoje obnašanje in navade, ki se razlikujejo od tistih, ki so jih uporabljali doslej," je dejala Muscardinijeva.
The Italian MEP echoed the sentiments of many MEPs by suggesting a radical change in attitudes was required by those practicing such mutilation: "Immigrant parents should be helped in understanding that parenting in a host country will require them, to some extent, to adopt attitudes and customs different from those to which they have been used" she said.

Ingrid Betancourt in Hans-Gert Pöttering Zasedanje se je začelo s čustvenim govorom kolumbijske političarke Ingrid Betancourt, ki so jo gverilci FARC ugrabili februarja 2002 in jo zadrževali vse do julija letos, ko jo je osvobodila kolumbijska vojska.

Sledila je razprava o finančni krizi v luči bližajočega se Evropskega sveta.
Those were the messages brought to MEPs by former Colombian hostage Ingrid Betancourt when she addressed them on Wednesday.
Vsa leta sem gojila upanje, se oklepala življenja in prenašala vse tegobe zato, ker sem vedela, da sem v vaših srcih...
In an emotional speech she rammed home the importance of words and the impact they can have saying "the only weapon we can believe in, is the force of words, there is nothing stronger than words."
Ko sem bila osvobojena, sem si takoj želela priti k vam, v vašo hišo, ki jo imam tudi za svojo," je dejala Ingrid Betancourt ter dodala, da svet prav po zaslugi Evropskega parlamenta zdaj ve za grozodejstva, ki jih je morala prestati in ki jih še vedno prestaja več kot 3000 njenih rojakov.
Ms Betancourt also called for continued recognition for those both in Colombia and elsewhere who are held in captivity.
