Veliki torek: Kaj se lahko nauči Evropa?
Super Tuesday in America: can Europe learn lessons?
Kdo bo naslednji ameriški predsednik?
The 44th US President…but who?
Nastopil je veliki torek, najpomembnejši dan v ameriški predvolilni tekmi, ko preliminarne volitve in zborovanja potekajo v kar 24 zveznih državah , med drugim tudi v Kaliforniji, New Yorku, Teksasu in Massachusettsu.
The US, indeed the whole world, seems transfixed by the early stages of the Presidential elections, culminating today, with Super Tuesday when 24 US states hold primaries and caucuses to select delegates who will elect their parties' candidate at the national convention.
Preliminarne volitve, strankarska zborovanja, televizijsko oglaševanje, kupi denarja - to je pravi ameriški stil volitev.
Elections US-style combine primaries and caucuses, town hall meetings, TV advertising, razzmatazz and big money.
Se lahko evropska demokracija ob tem kaj nauči?
We asked some MEPs whether European politics have anything to learn or to envy from American-style politics?
O tem smo povprašali evropske poslance.
Super Tuesday is the biggest day of the US election calendar so far.
Danes, 5. februarja, na "veliki torek" bodo v 24 ameriških zveznih državah izvolili kandidate, ki se bodo potegovali za nominacijo za predsedniškega kandidata obeh ameriških taborov - republikancev in demokratov.
Among the 24 places voting are key states including California, New York and New Jersey.
Ta dan je še zlasti pomemben zato, ker obenem poteka več preliminarnih volitev kot kateri drugi dan.
These states will account for a large number of the delegates who will choose the democratic and republican candidates for November's presidential election.
Ameriške zvezne volitve, tako predsedniške kot kongresne, se od evropskih volitev razlikujejo po dvostrankarskem sistemu (republikanci in demokrati), sistemu preliminarnih volitev in strankarskih zborovanji ter po ogromnih večmilijonskih stroških, ki jih zahtevajo volilne kampanje.
American Presidential and Congressional elections differ from European Parliament elections in that they are bi-partisan (usually only Republicans or Democrats run) and because of the vast amounts of money involved.
Britanski poslanec Jonathan Evans (EPP-ED), predsednik delegacije EP za odnose z ZDA: "Pozitivna stran ameriškega volilnega sistema je, da ima večji vpliv kot moč političnih strank osebnost in ugled kandidata .
British Conservative Jonathan Evans, chair of Parliament's US Delegation said, the "positives are the strong impact of the personality and the reputation of candidates rather than the power of the political parties themselves".
To ameriške politike spodbuja, da aktivnejše sodelujejo s svojimi volivci, in sicer veliko učinkoviteje, kot to počne večina članov Evropskega parlamenta.
"This encourages US politicians to actively engage with their constituents much more effectively than the vast majority of members of the European Parliament do," he said.
Negativna stran pa je, da imajo premožni kandidati ogromno in nepošteno prednost."
"On the negative side, wealthy candidates have a massive and unfair advantage."
Ta so resnično koristna za sprejetje pomembnih odločitev.
Support for US-style primary system
Sistem preliminarnih volitev bi lahko koristno uvedli tudi v naše volilne sisteme.
One of the best aspects of the US system is the contact that US presidential candidates have with people, according to Italian Green Monica Frassoni.
Zanimivo bi bilo naše evropske stranke opazovati pri organiziranju primarnih volitev, denimo za kandidata za predsednika Komisije.
"Candidates are continuously looking for contact with people and they are exposing themselves to very difficult direct debates on TV."
Seveda pa je tu zelo očitno, da pri tem igrajo pomembno vlogo velike vsote denarja, problematični pa so lahko tudi zelo muhasti mediji.
The downsides of the US system for her are the amount of money involved and the fickleness of the media: "it is very obvious that big money counts and a very moody press can be problematic; I would not like to see those elements so prominent in our campaigns here."
Nikakor ne bi želela, da bi bili ti elementi očitno prisotni tudi v naših kampanjah."
Home-grown democracy "always healthiest"
Španski socialist Enrique Barón Crespo: "Preliminarne volitve naj bi zagotovile delujočo participativno in konkurenčno demokracijo, ki temelji na vključevanju državljanov.
Spanish Socialist Enrique Barón Crespo, himself a former EP president elected by fellow MEPs, said "the big challenge for the EU is to be organised as a vibrant and attractive democracy, therefore the American example is full of lessons".
Predsedniške volitve so tekma čez ovire oziroma tekma vzdržljivosti, ki je ne nadzorujejo stranke.
"The primaries stand for functioning participative and competitive democracy based on the involvement of the citizens...as for the elections themselves they are an obstacle and endurance race not controlled by the parties," he said.
Prekomerna teža denarja v kampanjah pomeni hipoteko, ki jo najame poznejša vlada."
"The excessive weight of the money in the campaigns means a mortgage for later governing."
Britanski poslanec Graham Watson (ALDE): "Evropska demokracija je zrasla na evropskih tleh, tako kot je ameriška demokracija nastala v ZDA.
"European democracy is home-grown, just as US democracy is grown in the US.
Tisto, kar je pridelano doma, je zmeraj najbolj zdravo.
And home-grown is always healthiest," according to British Liberal Graham Watson , leader of the EP's ALDE group.
Skrbi nas udeležba na volitvah, vendar je volilna udeležba na drugi strani Atlantika pogosto še nižja.
"We worry about low voter turnout, but voter turnout across the Atlantic is often even lower," he noted.

Jacek Saryusz-Wolski: "Prihodnost Srbije in Kosova je v EU"
The future of Serbia and Kosovo lies in the EU - Saryusz-Wolski
Poljski poslanec Jacek Saryusz-Wolski
Saryusz-Wolski: "EU is ready to absorb Serbia"
Po zmagi proevropsko usmerjenega Borisa Tadića na srbskih predsedniških volitvah preteklo nedeljo sta v središče pozornosti stopila odnos Srbije do Evropske unije ter prihodnost Kosova.
With the pro-European Boris Tadić just elected Serbia's President, all eyes are now on Serbia's relations with the EU and the future status of Kosovo.
O tem smo spregovorili s poljskim poslancem Jacekom Saryusz-Wolskim, predsednikom odbora EP za zunanje zadeve.
We spoke to Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, the Polish centre-right MEP who Chairs Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, about the possible future relationship of Serbia and Kosovo with the EU.
Saryusz-Wolski verjame, da bosta nekega dne tako Srbija kot Kosovo članici EU.
He believes that both could one day be members of the Union - providing their people want it and they fulfil the rules for membership.
"Najprej bi želel poudariti, da so bile volitve izpeljane v skladu z mednarodnimi standardi in da izražajo svobodno, demokratično voljo srbskega prebivalstva.
First of all the elections have been executed according to all international standards and have expressed the free democratic will of the people.
Z vidika EU je to dobra novica: ponovno izvoljeni predsednik deli evropske vrednote in vidi prihodnost Srbije znotraj evropske družine.
From the EU point of view it is good news: a newly re-elected president that shares European values and sees the future of Serbia within the European family.
Torej obstaja možnost za članstvo Srbije v EU v, upam, ne v preveč oddaljeni prihodnosti.
This gives the perspective of (European Union) membership to Serbia, hopefully in the not too distant future.
Trenutno smo optimistični in se veselimo sodelovanja z novim predsednikom in njegovo vlado.
So we are optimistic at this stage and looking forward to cooperating with the new president and his administration.
Kako vidite prihodnost odnosov med Srbijo in EU?
How do you see the future of the relationship between Serbia and the EU?
Takoj ko teh ne bo več, lahko začnemo s postopkom za podpis in izvajanje sporazuma.
So, as soon as these reservations disappear, the whole process of signing and then implementing the SAA can proceed.
Po mojem mnenju je prihodnost Srbije vsekakor v EU.
I certainly see Serbia's future in the EU.
Izidi na volitvah pričajo o tem, da se Srbi želijo priključiti k Evropski uniji."
The election of a president with the will to join the EU means that the Serbian people want this option.
Vendar pa je Tadić dosegel komaj da več kot polovico vseh oddanih glasov.
So now it is a question of technicalities, of finalising the SAA, implementing it and then achieving full membership.
Kako lahko EU pridobi naklonjenost druge polovice?
Do you think that the EU is ready to "absorb" Serbia?
"Ko bo prišel v veljavo Stabilizacijsko-pridružitveni sporazum, bosta Komisija in Parlament ta proces nadzorovala.
Yes, the EU is ready to absorb Serbia as all other states of Western Balkans, provided that the difficult and demanding conditions are met (the EU's "Copenhagen criteria" membership requirements - democratic government, respect for human rights and a functioning market economy) - as for everybody who has joined so far.
Sčasoma se bodo tudi odnosi med Srbijo in EU okrepili in pridružitveni proces se bo pomaknil naprej.
But first we need peace and stability in the Western Balkans and then we can negotiate membership.
S tem pa se bo povečala tudi naklonjenost srbskega prebivalstva do integracije v EU."
The election seems to show Serbs deeply divided over a possible EU future for their country (Mr Tadić won slightly more than half of all votes).
Ali menite, da je EU pripravljena sprejeti Srbijo?
How can the EU win them over?
"Evropska unija je pripravljena sprejeti Srbijo tako kot tudi druge države Zahodnega Balkana.
Once the SAA is signed and put into practice, the Commission and Parliament will monitor that process.
Kako bo to vplivalo na odnose med EU in Srbijo?
How will this affect relations between the EU and Serbia?
Ko bodo vse te države postale članice EU, bodo izginile tudi njihove meje.
So once all those countries are in all those borders will disappear.
Želimo vzpostaviti dobre odnose z državami Zahodnega Balkana, zlasti s Srbijo in Kosovom.
We are looking forward to establishing good relations throughout the Western Balkans, but especially between Serbia and Kosovo.
Trenutno je pomembno, da v primeru enostranske razglasitve neodvisnosti čim več držav članic prizna Kosovo."
What is important now is that if there is a unilateral declaration of independence, as many Member States as possible recognise Kosovo.
Ali se bo v prihodnosti tudi Kosovo pridružilo EU?
Will Kosovo join the EU?
"Menim, da je to prihodnost Kosova v Uniji, seveda če si bodo to želeli tudi njegovi prebivalci."
I think that this is the future for Kosovo provided obviously that this is the will of its citizens - their future lies also in the Union.

Baltski plinovod buri duhove
Baltic pipeline stirs petitioners ire
Odbor Evropskega parlamenta za peticije je 29. januarja obravnaval načrte za plinovod, ki naj bi potekal pod Baltskim morjem ter povezoval Rusijo in Nemčijo.
Plans for a gas pipeline running under the Baltic Sea linking Russia and Germany were before Parliament’s Petitions Committee on 29 January.
Obravnave v odboru za peticije so se udeležili evropski poslanci, predlagatelji peticije, predstavniki konzorcija Nord Stream in Evropske komisije.
The hearing by the Petitions Committee brought together MEPs, petitioners, representatives of the Nord Stream Consortium and the European Commission.
Okoljevarstvena ocena
Petitioners calling for environmental assessment
Baltski plinovod v dolžini 1200 km naj bi bil najdaljši na svetu.
At 1200 km the pipeline would be one of the longest in the world.
Opozoril je, da bo gradnja potekala na območjih, ki so že onesnažena s kemikalijami, kar pomeni, da se bo onesnaženost le še dodatno povečala.
Mrs Morkunaitė noted that the construction would run through zones already polluted with chemicals – thereby stirring them up and distributing them.
Poljak Krzysztof Mączkowski, prav tako eden izmed predlagateljev peticije, je pozval, naj projekt ustavijo, dokler ne bo izvedena neodvisna ocena o vplivu gradnje na okolje.
Along with his fellow petitioner Krzysztof Mączkowski of Poland he is calling for the project to be suspended until an independent environmental impact assessment is carried out.
Predlagatelja peticije sta od evropskih poslancev zahtevala še zagotovilo, da bo Komisija dejansko prisotna pri okoljski oceni.
The two petitioners also want MEPs to ensure that the Commission is involved in any environmental assessment.
Evropski komisar za okolje Stavros Dimas jima je odgovoril, da je to vprašanje v rokah članic EU.
However, Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said it was a matter for individual EU members.
Pielbalgs: Plinovod za manj emisij CO2
Pipeline would help lower CO2 emissions - Piebalgs
Evropski komisar za energijo Andris Piebalgs je dejal, da bi bil novi plinovod koristen za Evropo, saj bi prispeval k raznolikosti oskrbe z energijo in k nižjim emisijam CO2.
European Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said the new pipeline would be useful to Europe because of diversification of supply and lower CO2 emissions from gas.
Direktor podjetja Nord Stream Dirk von Ameln pa je zatrdil, da bo projekt potekal v skladu s predpisi in da že ocenjujejo okoljske vplive gradnje.
Nord Stream director Dirk von Ameln told the hearing that the project would be in "strict compliance with all rules and regulations" and that an impact assessment is currently being conducted.
Zagotovil je tudi, da se gradnja plinovoda še ni začela.
He said that construction of the pipeline has not yet started.
Mnogi evropski poslanci so se dotaknili vprašanja energetske odvisnosti Unije in odnosov z Rusijo.
Many MEPs raised the wider issues of the EU’s energy dependence and relations with Russia.
Ruskemu Gazpromu največji delež
Russia ’s Gazprom the main shareholder
Izgradnja plinovoda Nord Stream je eden prednostnih projektov čezevropskih energetskih omrežij Evropske komisije.
The project is among the priority projects under the Commission's Trans-European Energy Networks (TEN-E).
Načrtovani plinovod naj bi potekal skozi posebne ekonomske cone Rusije, Finske, Švedske in Nemčije ter tudi po teritorialnih vodah Rusije in Nemčije.
The intended route would run through the “exclusive economic zones” of Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany as well as through the territorial waters of Russia and Germany.
Postaja pa bi bila v švedski ekonomski coni.
The service station is planned to be in the Swedish economic zone.
V projektu sodelujejo ruski Gazprom, ki ima 51-odstotni delež, nemški firmi BASF in E.ON ter nizozemski Gasuni.
The project is comprised of Russia’s Gazprom (with 51%), German companies BASF and E.ON and Dutch Gasunie.
Evropski poslanci bodo v Odboru za peticije pripravili poročilo o plinovodu , o katerem bo to poletje razpravljal ves Evropski parlament.
MEPs on the Petitions Committee will now prepare a report which will be discussed by the whole Parliament in the summer.
Avtor poročila bo poljski poslanec Marcin Libicki (UEN).
Polish UEN Member Marcin Libicki will to draft the report.

Dragi Peter,
Dear Pat,
Kot si verjetno že izvedel, so evropski poslanci pretekli četrtek, 31. januarja, glasovali za odprtje evropskega trga poštnih storitev.
As you may have heard, MEPs have voted to open up Europe's postal systems to competition.
S tem naj bi se naredil konec monopolu državnih pošt in sicer pri pošiljkah do 50 gramov.
This means that any letters we send under 50 grams - like to Grandma for Christmas or Uncle Peter's birthday - will be included.
Za ta posel bo zagotovo veliko zanimanja, saj pravijo, da je v celotni EU vreden 88 milijonov evrov.
What is for sure is that there will be a lot of interest in the business - they say that across the European Union it is worth €88 billion.
Vendar so evropski poslanci potrdili, da mora biti zagotovljena petdnevna dostava v tednu ne glede na to, kje oseba živi.
Fortunately, someone has thought of that and MEPs voted to ensure that 5 daily deliveries a week will still take place no matter where you live.
Avstrijsko poslanko iz politične skupine zelenih Ano Lichtenberger je skrbelo, kaj se bo zgodilo s tistimi, ki živijo na deželi, v gorah ali na obmejnih območjih Evrope.
They also want stamps for towns and countries to cost the same too.
Poslušal sem poslanca, ki je napisal poročilo o tej novi zakonodaji, Markusa Ferberja, ki me je, morem reči, kar pomiril.
I heard the man who actually wrote Parliament's report on this new law, Markus Ferber of the European People's Party and European Democrats, and he put my mind at rest last December.
Zatrdil je, da bomo še zmeraj lahko pošiljali pošto na zelo oddaljena mesta in da bo pošta zagotovo tudi dostavljena.
He said that "under the new rules, we will still be able to send letters to remote places, and be sure they get delivered."
Nekateri evropski poslanci so menili, da je to dobra ideja, drugi pa so bili proti njej.
The debate in Parliament was quite interesting with some MEPs thinking it a good idea and others against.
Saj veš, če dobiš elektronsko pošto to ni nikoli enako, kot ko dobiš pismo.
(Even I send emails these days, though you can't beat a real letter can you?)
Poslanci so tudi zahtevali, da so cene za znamke v vseh mestih in državah enake.
A Green MEP, Eva Lichtenberger from Austria, was worried about what would happen to those who lived in the country, in the mountains or on the borders of Europe.
Večina držav članic bo trg poštnih storitev popolnoma odprla leta 2011.
Well, those nice people in the European Commission wanted it to happen by next year but those other nice people you voted for in 2004 want it to take place by 2011.
Dvanajst držav pa bo imelo še dve leti časa, torej do leta 2013, da svoje poštarje in poštarke pripravijo na to spremembo.
Twelve countries will wait until two years after this to prepare their postmen and women for the change.
V petih državah članicah je trg poštnih storitev že odprt.
Our Auntie Lena in Stockholm and cousin Christian in Munich may not notice much difference as they live in some of the five countries who already have competition in their postal services.
Velike pošiljke namreč že danes lahko dostavljajo privatne družbe.
The parcel arrived with the company "Break-pack" as big items can already be sent via private companies.
Upam, da boš moje pismo kmalu prejel.
I hope this reaches you soon.
Imamo vedno več sonca, pomlad že trka na vrata.
Yours sincerely,
P.S.: Ne pozabi poslati voščilnic za Valentinovo.
Don't forget to post your Valentine day cards soon!

Japonska in Evropa skupaj v boju proti podnebnim spremembam
EP President Pöttering in Japan calls for partnership on climate change
Predsednik EP Hans-Gert Pöttering obiskal univerzo Keio v Tokiu
West meets East: President Pöttering meets students
Japonskega premiera Jasua Fukuda in japonske poslance je pozval k sodelovanju z Evropo.
He told Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and Japanese MPs that Europe and Japan must work together.
Dejal je, da je Japonsko kot prvo azijsko državo obiskal zato, ker ima z Evropo skupne vrednote demokracije in pravne države.
Mr Pöttering said he had chosen Japan for his first visit to Asia as President because of "shared values" of democracy and constitutionalism.
V središču pozornosti v pogovorih 5. februarja med Pötteringom in premierom Fukudom je bilo vprašanje možnosti sodelovanja med industrijsko razvitimi državami na področju podnebnih sprememb.
The main focus of talks with Mr Fukuda on 5 February was the issue of how major industrialised countries can cooperate.
