Kako lahko politiki prispevajo k umetnosti?
Should politicians be involved in the arts?
"Jasno moramo razlikovati kulturo od umetnosti.
One should not confuse culture with art.
Slednja je del prve, vendar kultura je osnovna.
One forms part of the other but culture is profound.
Politika se ne sme vmešavati v umetnost, vendar pa se morajo s politiko zagotoviti pogoji za ustvarjanje umetnosti.
In art politics should not interfere in the content but politics must ensure the conditions to carry it out.
Negativni primeri političnega vmešavanja v umetnost, kot sta bila nacizem in komunizem, so še zmeraj sveži v našem spominu.
Negative examples of political interference in art like in Nazism and Communism are still fresh in our minds.
Takrat se je spodbujala in financirala umetnost, da bi se z njo zagotovila nacionalna slava, vendar to na stroške vmešavanja v vsebino umetnosti.
Back then art was encouraged and financed to ensure national glory, but at the cost of interference in its contents.
Evropska unija se trenutno nahaja na razpotju.
In the EU we are now at a crossroads.
Države, ki niso doživele komunizma, poznajo nezadostno financiranje in revne, nestrukturirane socialne pogoje za umetnike.
Those countries of the EU which did not experience communism knew insufficient financing and poor, unstructured social conditions for artists.
V državah, kjer se je nekoč umetnost radodarno financirala, pa so umetniki danes priča nazadovanju in primanjkovanju materialnih pogojev.
In other countries which knew generous financing, artists have seen a regression in their material conditions.
Zato mora Unija doseči ravnotežje.
Thus the Union today must arrive at a balance.
Drugi ekstrem je denimo ameriški model kulture: v ZDA je kultura popolnoma privatizirana in sponzorji vplivajo na njeno vsebino."
The other model is that of the USA where culture is completely privatised and sponsors influence the contents.
Glasba in kultura vam torej veliko pomenita.
Aside from music, culture is of great importance to you.
Ali lahko na tem področju v Evropskem parlamentu kaj dosežete?
What do you hope to achieve in this field in the Parliament?
"V Luksemburgu sem bila ministrica za kulturo, v Parlamentu pa lahko govorim o stvareh, ki jih drugi ne poznajo tako močno v podrobnosti.
In Luxembourg I was a Culture Minister - in Parliament I can speak about and say things that others cannot say because they do not know the issue in depth.
Moj cilj je zagotoviti, da se kultura prizna kot politično področje z lastno pravico.
My goal is to ensure that culture is admitted as a policy field in its own right.
Je, tako kot okolje, večdisciplinarno področje.
It is also a wide subject like the environment.
Lahko govorimo denimo o kulturi v pravu, industriji in razvoju.
One can speak about culture in law, industry and education.
Kultura je vsepovsod."
Culture is everywhere.
Ali bi lahko glede na svoje izkušnje dejali, da sta umetniški in politični svet združljiva?
In your experience, how compatible are artistic and political lifestyles?
"Svet politike je zelo ustvarjalen, tako kot je to tudi svet umetnosti.
The political world is very creative and is like art in that respect.
Drugi razlog za mojo odločitev pa je bil takratni položaj žensk v luksemburški družbi.
I chose politics firstly to show that a musician can bring lots of ideas to politics.
Veliko je bilo treba storiti - in še zmeraj je treba - na področju enakosti med moškimi in ženskami ter združljivosti poklica in družine."
Secondly, as a woman in Luxembourg a lot remained to be done back then as is still required today in the field of male-female equality and the combination work-family today.
Ali nam za konec zaupate še svojo najljubšo skladbo?
Finally, what is your favourite piece of music?

Dvajset let programa Erasmus: Spomini na študentska leta
As Erasmus turns 20 some MEPs share their memories
Program je kmalu postal zelo priljubljen in je leta 2005 štel že kar 140.000 sodelujočih študentov.
So far 1.5 million students have taken part from 31 European countries.
Na samem vrhu lestvice priljubljenosti držav so že od nekdaj Španija, Francija, Nemčija in Velika Britanija.
The most popular destinations are France and Spain.
Študenti se lahko namreč sami odločijo, na kateri izmed partnerskih univerz iz 31 evropskih držav (poleg 27 držav članic EU v programu sodelujejo tudi Norveška, Liechtenstein, Islandija in Turčija) želijo preživeti semester ali dva svojega študija.
As Erasmus turns 20, we spoke to three MEPs who in earlier years took advantage of the scheme.
Povečalo pa se ni samo povpraševanje študentov, temveč tudi razpoložljiva sredstva.
With increased funding for 2007, we also ask whether the scheme is just for wealthier students.
Evropska unija je na zahtevo Evropskega parlamenta namreč 950 milijonov evrov, ki jih je programu namenila v obdobju 2000-2006, povečala na več kot tri milijarde evrov za obdobje 2007-2013.
One of the most striking aspects of the Erasmus experience is the people you meet.
Med drugim si je zastavila tudi cilj, da bo do leta 2012 v okviru projekta Erasmus v tujino poslala skupno tri milijone študentov.
Belgian Socialist MEP Saïd El Khadraoui described the experience as "enriching" and that in 5 months in Paris in 1997 he made "friends for life".
Učenje za življenje: tuji jeziki, strpnost, prilagodljivost
He also said that it taught him the importance of autonomy.
Na študijsko izmenjavo v tujino so v času študija odšli tudi nekateri današnji evropski poslanci.
This sentiment was echoed by Alyn Smith, of the Scottish National Party - who was in Heidelberg in Germany in the 1990's.
Kot ključno spoznanje iz tega obdobja je navedel pomen kulturne izmenjave: združiti je treba evropsko kulturo in evropske identitete.
Erasmus hit the silver screen a few years ago with "L’auberge espagnole" which concentrated on the social and cultural aspects of the scheme.
Belgijski poslanec Saïd El Khadraoui iz skupine Socialnih demokratov se je programa Erasmus udeležil leta 1997 in preživel pet nepozabnih mesecev na univerzi v Parizu.
Alyn Smith is unequivocal on the help the programme gave him: "I can say with certainty that I would not be an MEP if I hadn’t had the Erasmus experience".
To obdobje je opisal kot izredno bogato izkušnjo, saj se je v Parizu naučil samostojnega življenja, ob spoznavanju različnih ljudi in kultur pa se mu je odprlo povsem novo obzorje.
For Saïd El Khadraoui Erasmus demonstrates to prospective employers that a person "has the capacity to adopt".
"Brez programa Erasmus ne bi postal poslanec"
He called it a "supplementary experience" and therefore an advantage compared to other job seekers.
Ali lahko izkušnje iz programa Erasmus pomagajo tudi pri poznejšem iskanju službe?
Erasmus is a success - but a success for well off students?
Alyn Smith je odkrito odgovoril, da je bilo s poklicnega vidika to obdobje, ki ga je preživel proč od doma, sam v Evropi, zanj izredno pomembno in da brez teh izkušenj zagotovo ne bi postal evropski poslanec.
Despite its success Erasmus still faces a real problem of affordability.
El Khadradaui je poudaril, da delodajalci pri izbiranju kandidata za delovno mesto ne upoštevajo zgolj njegove izobrazbe, temveč tudi druge kompetence, denimo sposobnost prilagajanja in znanje tujih jezikov.
A recent survey found that over 50% of students declared financial difficulties as an obstacle to them taking part in the Erasmus scheme.
Izkušnja bivanja v tujini, ki jo omogoča program Erasmus, lahko pomeni pomembno prednost pred drugimi, ki se potegujejo za isto delovno mesto, je bil mnenja El Khadradaui.
It also found that a majority of Erasmus students have above average socio-economic status in their country.
Finančne ovire: 150 evrov ni dovolj
The current grant for an Erasmus student is 150 Euros a month - clearly not enough to live on without another source of income - be in parents or savings.
Program Erasmus se je sicer izkazal kot zelo uspešen, a problem financiranja žal še vedno ni odpravljen.
In the latest round of EU budgetary negotiations MEPs pushed for this level to be raised to €300 a month although a final compromise saw it reduced to €200.
V nedavni anketi je polovica vprašanih študentov kot poglavitno pomanjkljivost navedla nezadostno financiranje.
This will apply for the next six years.
Trenutna finančna podpora v okviru programa Erasmus znaša 150 evrov na mesec, kar za življenje v tuji državi nikakor ni dovolj.
Erasmus in figures:
Večino študentov zato dodatno podpirajo še starši, ali pa se financirajo iz lastnih prihrankov.
1.5 million: number of students who have participated
Študentje, katerih starši imajo nižje dohodke, si sodelovanja v programu Erasmus ne morejo privoščiti
26,629: amount of Erasmus students who studied in France in the last academic year
V zadnjem krogu pogajanj o proračunu EU so evropski poslanci zahtevali podvojitev vsote 150 evrov.
3.1 billion: money allocated by the EU for Erasmus over the next six years
Kompromisni predlog za obdobje naslednjih šestih let je slednjič predvidel 200 evrov.
144,032: Erasmus students in 2005.

José Sócrates: Močnejša Evropa za boljši svet
José Sócrates: "Strong Europe for a better world"
Portugalski premier José Sócrates
Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates during a press conference at the EP
Portugalski premier José Sócrates je na sredinem plenarnem zasedanju v Strasbourgu evropskim poslancem predstavil načrte Portugalske med njenim šestmesečnim predsedovanjem Svetu EU.
Portugal's Prime Minister José Sócrates was in the Parliament on Wednesday to outline to MEPs the priorities for his country's Presidency of the EU.
José Sócrates je bil dejaven tudi med zadnjim portugalskim predsedovanjem Unije leta 2000, vendar je takrat nastopil v vlogi ministra za okolje.
Mr Sócrates has experienced the demands of an EU Presidency before, as Minister for the Environment in the last Portuguese Presidency of 2000.
Svojo kariero je nato nadaljeval kot minister za mlade in šport ter bil tudi med drugim eden od organizatorjev nogometnega pokala UEFA 2004.
Since then he acted as one of the organisers of the 2004 UEFA European Football Championship.
Danes stoji v Porto rojeni gradbeni inženir kot predsednik Sveta EU v središču evropskega političnega odra.
Now in 2007, this Porto-born civil engineer takes centre stage.
Pöttering je na plenarnem zasedanju v sredo pozdravil novega predsednika Sveta EU in mu izkazal zaupanje glede sodelovanja s Parlamentom.
He was left in little doubt as to the work to be done and the expectations placed on him by MEPs.
Če boste vi uspešni, bo uspešna tudi Evropska unija, je predsednik Parlamenta vzpodbudil Sócratesa.
In his speech to Parliament, he spelt out his vision for the coming months.
Reforma pogodbe najpomembnejša prednostna naloga
Treaty reform
Prvi osnutek nove pogodbe bo predstavljen že 23. julija, v začetku septembra pa bodo o njej razpravljali zunanji ministri držav članic.
Mr Sócrates told MEPs that he expects to have the first treaty draft by 23 July - and he is hoping the treaty will be adopted at the October Summit.
Voditelji držav članic naj bi novo pogodbo podpisali na neuradnem evropskem vrhu 18. in 19. oktobra, nato pa jo bodo morale ratificirati vse države članice.
Asked by a journalist about the name the treaty would have ("Would it be called the treaty of Lisbon?"), he replied "I am more interested in getting the treaty first".
Same se bodo odločile, ali bodo to storile z ratifikacijo v nacionalnem parlamentu, ali z referendumom.
On the issue of ratification he said that "parliamentary ratification is legitimate in a representative democracy, parliaments have the legitimacy to approve the treaties".
Ali se bo naslednja pravna podlaga Evropske unije imenovala Lizbonska pogodba je sekundarnega pomena.
Mr Sócrates also underlined that it is essential that the House is better represented with 3 members participating in the IGC and thanked the major political groups for their support.
Trenutno nas zanima samo to, da se pogodba sploh zaključi, je dejal Sócrates.
He also stressed the need for modernisation of the economy calling for a "new cycle" of the Lisbon strategy for competitiveness.
Kot prednostno nalogo je Sócrates napovedal tudi posodobitev evropske družbe in gospodarstva.
He is also committed to strengthening Europe throughout the world.
Lizbonska strategija bo tako spet v ospredju delovanja EU.
Speaking to journalists he said that the world is expecting Europe to have strong presence.
Portugalska bo začela nov krog k Lizbonski strategiji – zaključil naj bi se med slovenskim predsedovanjem v prvi polovici 2008 - predvidoma na spomladanskem vrhu, ki je praviloma namenjen razvojnim vprašanjem.
On Africa he said that "the EU cannot pay the price of not having structured dialogue with Africa" - having a Summit with Africa will help to deal with hunger, governance and human rights issues.
Portugalska vlada si bo naslednjih šest mesecev prizadevala tudi za okrepitev položaja Evrope v svetu.
He also stressed climate change, the creation of a European Institute of Technology and more use of biofuels as effective ways of reducing CO2 emissions.
Glede Afrike je premier Sócrates dejal, da si Evropska unija ne more privoščiti, da ne bi vodila strukturnega dialoga z Afriko, opozoril pa je tudi na načrtovan decembrski vrh EU-Afrika.
During his time in Strasbourg he also spoke about immigration policy and the need for it to be based on the fight against illegal immigration, a humane inclusive policy and proper coordination with the countries of origin.
Sócrates je spregovoril tudi o skupni priseljevalni politiki Evropske unije.
He said that "we must achieve an integrated approach.
S 27 različnimi nacionalnimi sistemi se Evropska unija na tem področju ne bo premaknila naprej.
There is no need to have 27 national systems".
Portugalski premier je svoj nastop pred poslanci zaključil z obljubo, da je ob številnih negotovostih in neznankah predvsem eno dejstvo: v svetu, ki se spreminja, je najslabše, če stojiš pri miru.
The Parliament's President, Pöttering, summed it up by saying: "this was a good day for European unification", "we have trust in you" adding "if you succeed, the EU will succeed".

Pogovori z vplivnimi osebnostmi na obisku v Evropskem parlamentu
Famous visitors at the Parliament - from Tutu to Sheen
Pogovor z južnoafriškim nadškofom Desmondom Tutujem
The 76-year old Anglican Archbishop was at the European Parliament on 5 June to discuss the Darfur conflict with MEPs.
Južnoafriški nadškof Desmond Tutu Zakaj ste se odločili, da sprejmete povabilo Evropskega parlamenta?
Why have you decided to take up the invitation to come to the European Parliament?
Menite, da bo to kaj pomagalo ljudem v Darfurju?
How can this occasion help people in Darfur?
"Razmere v Darfurju so med najbolj grozljivimi na svetu.
The situation in Darfur is one of the most ghastly situations in the world.
Veselim se vsakih pobud, ki bi lahko izboljšale razmere na tem koncu sveta."
I am glad to be able to participate in any effort that might ameliorate the situation.
Od začetka spopadov v Darfurju umrlo več kot 200 000 ljudi, 2,5 milijona jih je na begu.
It is estimated that since the beginning of the Darfur conflict more than 200,000 have died and a further 2.5 million have been displaced.
EU je doslej namenila 435 milijonov evrov za humanitarno pomoč in podprla mirovno misijo Afriške unije z 242 milijoni evrov.
The EU is already engaged in the region with humanitarian aid of several hundred million euros, with further funding in support to the mission of the African Union.
Kako lahko še pomaga?
What else can the EU do to help?
"Očitno je, da potrebujemo znatno finančno podporo za mirovne enote Afriške unije, ki sicer ne more učinkovito delovati.
Well, obviously we need considerable support for the African Union peacekeeping force.
Oborožene sile niso dovolj velike in pomembno je, da jih enote OZN dopolnijo.
The force is simply not large enough and that is why it UN efforts to significantly augment it are so important.
Hromi jih tudi pomanjkanje zalog.
It is also hamstrung by its lack of resources.
Zaradi tega upamo, da bomo uspeli Evropo vzpodbuditi, da bo podprla to mirovno misijo, ki mora učinkovito opravljati svoje pomembne naloge, predvsem zaščititi neoboroženo civilno prebivalstvo, žene, otroke in starejše ljudi, kot sem tudi jaz."
We hope to encourage the EU to augment its support to this force so that it becomes effective in doing its most important work, which is the protection of civilians - the unarmed population of women, children and old people (like me!).
Vaš boj proti apartheidu in za mir vam je prinesel Nobelovo nagrado.
You received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for fighting against apartheid and in favour of peace.
Danes, ko ni več politike apartheida, kje so največji izzivi za Afriko?
Now, when the politics of apartheid are over, what are the main challenges that Africa faces?
"Seveda je pomembno, da naše uspehe tudi pokažemo: premagali smo apartheid in kolonializem v Južni Afriki.
Of course it is important that we are able to show some victories: that we have overcome apartheid in South Africa, overcome colonialism in many parts of that continent.
Toda tu se izzivi ne končajo.
But challenges do not end.
Evropa je sedaj kar bogata in mirna, vendar ima tudi sama mračno zgodovino: holokavst, diktature v Španiji, Grčiji in na Portugalskem, še pred kratkim smo bili priča tudi etničnemu čiščenju.
Europe is reasonably prosperous, it is reasonably peaceful, but Europe has also come out of a very serious history: the holocaust, dictatorships in Spain, Portugal and Greece, and, very recently, ethnic cleansing.
Razmere v Severni Irski so še zmeraj resne.
It also has a very serious situation in Northern Ireland.
Prepričani smo, da je tudi Afrika, tako kot Evropa, sposobna rešiti svoje zapletene težave in se bo kakor feniks dvignila iz pepela.
We believe that just as Europe has been able to rise like a phoenix from the ashes, so Africa will be able to rise from the ashes to face the very many complex problems we have.
Med najtežjimi problemi je HIV/aids, pa tudi dejstvo, da bo spričo podnebnih sprememb malarija vedno bolj ogrožala zdravje afriškega prebivalstva.
One of the most serious is AIDS/HIV, as well as the fact that climate change is beginning to make malaria a very serious threat to the health of most Africans.
Težave pa še povečujejo pomanjkanje vode in hrane ter pogosta sušna obdobja.
It exacerbates problems such as the scarcity of water, the incidents of drought and the fact that people are beginning to become less food-productive.
To so problemi, ki dolgoročno ogrožajo afriško celino.
These are all issues that in the long run will make the continent unstable.
Če se jim bomo pravočasno zoperstavili, jih bomo gotovo premagali, kot smo premagalo apartheid.
If we can face up to those problems, just as we overcame apartheid, surely we will overcome them.
V Zimbabveju smo doživeli marsikaj pokvarjenega.
We've seen some of the most awful things happening in Zimbabwe.
Upamo, da bodo vse te pobude koristne in bomo dočakali ponoven razcvet Afrike."
We are hoping that all the initiatives underway are going to help Africa get back its former glory.
"Verjetno ne na enak način.
Probably not in the quite same way.

Martin Sheen: “We have to wake up”
Martin Sheen v Evropskem parlamentu Američan Martin Sheen ni le svetovno znani filmski igralec, zapomnili smo si ga predvsem po vlogi v filmu Apokalipsa zdaj, temveč tudi dolgoletni okoljevarstveni aktivist.
Martin Sheen American actor and environmental campaigner Martin Sheen was in the European Parliament yesterday, 11 April, to take part in the Energy Globe Awards ceremony at which green energy projects from across the world will be recognised at a gala prize-giving event.
11. aprila je obiskal Evropski parlament in na slavnostni prireditvi pobudnikom solarnega projekta iz Indije podelil nagrado Energy Globe Awards 2007.
Mr Sheen took a moment to answer our questions about his commitment to the fight against global warming and worldwide environmental degradation.
Voda pa je tudi energija prihodnosti."

Pet izbranih člankov preteklega polletja
Editor's choice - from climate change to the fight against terrorism
V nadaljevanju vam predstavljamo izbor petih člankov preteklega polletja.
We have also followed the debates over the proposed draft Constitution for the European Union.
Razprava o podnebju in energiji: Nadomestnega planeta ni na vidiku
Climate: "if we continue... in 50 years we will need a 2nd planet"
Januarja je Komisija predstavila novi energetski načrt.
The last few weeks have been crucial in the debate over climate change.
Med drugim je predlagala 20 odstotno zmanjšanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov do leta 2020 v primerjavi z letom 1990, medtem ko Parlament zahteva 30 odstotno zmanjšanje.
On 10 January the European Commission outlined plans for a 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 compared to 1990 levels.
Pretekli teden so poslanci, nemški minister za okolje Gabriel in komisar za okolje Dimas dobre tri ure razpravljali o podnebju in energiji.
Last week an international panel on climate change forecast global temperature rises between 1.8C and 4C by 2100.
Nujni so novi viri energije
Two days earlier MEPs - who want a 30% cut in emissions - debated the issue in Brussels.
