Sklepne ugotovitve
(1) The Treaty of Lisbon substantially enhances the role of the European Parliament, the only European institution directly elected by citizens:
Poslanci potrjujejo pogodbo in pozivajo članice da jo pravočasno ratificirajo, saj bo zagotovila trden okvir, ki bo omogočil prihodnji razvoj Unije.
In future the public will clearly be able to see that European legislative acts are adopted by the chamber which represents them and by the chamber which represents States; in parallel, in the field of international agreements its approval will also be required as a general rule;
Parlamentarci se zavedajo, da je spremenjena pogodba manj jasna in berljiva kot kodificirana pogodba, zato zahteva hitro objavo prečiščenih besedil pogodb.
- even in the field of the common foreign and security policy, where it has no decision-making powers, the European Parliament acquires a general right to be informed and consulted.
Odbor ob tem tudi ponavlja svojo zahtevo, da si morajo institucije EU in državni organi prizadevati po najboljših močeh, da se evropske državljane jasno in nepristransko seznani z vsebino pogodbe.
(2) In conclusion it may be said that, although it might have been possible to go further in certain areas, the European Parliament acquires powers of codecision in virtually all areas of Union policy.
Razprava pred glasovanjem
Debate preceding the vote
Dopoldne so v razpravi o predlogu poročila poleg obeh soporočevalcev, ter predstavnikov Sveta in Komisije razpravljali tudi predstavniki političnih skupin.
MEPs debated the Lisbon Treaty ahead of a key vote on the report prepared by Richard CORBETT (PES, UK) )and Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES).
Richard Corbett je uvodoma poudaril, da nova pogodba povečuje učinkovitost in demokratičnost Unije.
"This is a level of scrutiny that exists in no other international structure", said Mr Corbett.
O predlogih evropsko zakonodaje se bodo namreč lahko izrekali tudi nacionalni parlamenti, kar je določilo, ki ga ne pozna nobena primerljiva mednarodna povezava.
The EP's powers would be enhanced in other areas too, enabling it to elect the president of the European Commission and giving it full power over the budget and agriculture.
Evropski parlament bo dobil več pristojnosti: "Pogodba pomeni, če nič drugega, veliko več demokracije v Evropi."
"This treaty, if nothing else, is a massive increase in democracy in Europe", Mr Corbett argued.
Pomemben element pogodbe je Listina o temeljnih pravicah, ki naj bi zagotavljala, da evropska zakonodaja ne bo v nasprotju z osnovnimi standardi človekovih pravic.
Secondly, the new treaty enshrines the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which will ensure "that EU law does not violate basic standards of human rights".
Povečala se bo tudi učinkovitost odločanja v Svetu EU, kjer bo več glasovanj s kvalificirano večino.
Thirdly, the treaty will make the EU more effective, for example by extending the use of qualified majority voting and rationalising the size of the Commission.
Íñigo Méndez de Vigo je priznal, da je bil "poraz" predhodne Ustavne pogodbe za marsikoga razočaranje zaradi večjih pričakovanj, vendar je novo pogodbo označil za politično rešitev in izrazil upanje, da jo bodo vse članice pravočasno ratificirale.
The second joint rapporteur, Íñigo MÉNDEZ DE VIGO (EPP-ED, ES) acknowledged that the loss of the Constitutional Treaty had been a disappointment to some, saying "some of us were more ambitious than the Lisbon Treaty" but he saw the new treaty as "a political solution" to achieving ratification by all the Member States.
Po njegovem je Lizbonska pogodba ohranila bistvene elemente Ustave z več demokratičnosti in učinkovitosti ter dodano vrednostjo za državljane.
Endorsing Mr Corbett's description of the new treaty, Mr Méndez de Vigo, said it had preserved "the essential points" of the Constitution, in that it was "more democratic, more effective and gives added value for citizens".
Predsedstvo Sveta EU
European Council
Državni sekretar za evropske zadeve Janez Lenarčič se je v imenu Sveta strinjal s pozitivno oceno soporočevalcev o prednostih reform, ki jih prinaša pogodba: "Dejstvo je, da se Evropa že nekaj časa sooča z izzivi, tako navznoter kot navzven, v mednarodni skupnosti.
"We agree with the rapporteurs' positive assessment of many elements of the treaty, and that improving effectiveness and democratic accountability is the right response long-standing challenges within Member States and on the international scene", said Slovenia's State Secretary for European Affairs Janez LENARČIČ for the Council.
In zato so reforme nedvomno potrebne. (...)
Among the treaty's advantages, Mr Lenarčič listed safeguarding efficient functioning, simplifying decision-taking, enhancing transparency and democracy and bringing the Union closer to citizens.
Skupni cilj vseh nas je, da bi lizbonska pogodba začela veljati 1. januarja 2009.
He acknowledged that the treaty's ratification is the sovereign preserve of Member States, but hoped that it would proceed smoothly, so that the treaty can take effect at the start of 2009.
Da bomo to dosegli, je sedaj seveda na prvem mestu naša prednostna naloga ratifikacija lizbonske pogodbe s strani vseh držav članic."
He looked forward to the simplified decision-taking arrangements that the treaty would bring, and to co-operating with the EU's future presidencies.
Državni sekretar Lenarčič je še poudaril, da so ratifikacijski postopki v izključni pristojnosti držav članic, za popolno uveljavitev in izvajanje pogodbe pa bodo potrebna tudi pripravljalna dejanja, od imenovanja predsednika Evropskega sveta ter Visokega predstavnika za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko, prek različnih sprememb v delovanju institucij.
Many elements of the treaty will need to be worked on with Parliament and the Commission, which must assume their respective responsibilities, he concluded.
Evropska komisija
European Commission
Odstranitev v Ustavi predvidenih simbolov (himna, zastava) iz Lizbonske pogodbe in uveljavitev izjem za nekatere države sta za komisarko "cena, ki jo je bilo treba plačati za sporazum", ob čemer je opozorila, da ratifikacija še ni nikakor ni izvršeno dejstvo.
The loss of constitutional symbols, and the extension of national "opt-ins", was "the price we had to pay for agreement", said Ms Wallström, who nonetheless warned that although the ratification is under way, there is "no inevitability" about it.
V obdobju ratifikacij v državah članicah je obveščanje državljanov o vsebini Pogodbe bistvenega pomena, zato bo Komisija tesno sodelovala z vladami ter informacijskimi pisarnami Evropskega parlamenta pri zagotavljanju informacij o temah, ki zadevajo vso Evropo: podnebne spremembe, rast in zaposlovanje ter vloga Unije na mednarodnem prizorišču.
During the ratification period, communication with citizens would be vital, she said, stressing that the Commission will work closely with national authorities and the European Parliament's national offices to inform citizens about the treaty and EU policies in areas that they care about, such as climate change, growth and jobs, and the EU's global role.
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR) je čestital državam, ki so že ratificirale Pogodbo, s katero dobiva Evropa vnovičen zagon, prinaša pa ji tudi več demokracije, ter prepoznavnosti in vpliva v svetu.
Speaking on behalf of the EPP-ED group, Joseph DAUL (FR) first pointed out that five Member States had already ratified the Lisbon Treaty and that Poland had announced it was starting the process.
Ponovil je prednosti, ki jih prinaša in pozval k uspešni ratifikaciji dokumenta do konca letošnjega leta.
He believed the new treaty was "very important for relaunching Europe's momentum" and providing "more democracy, more visibility and greater influence at home and abroad".
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) si je postavil vprašanje "Zakaj rabimo pogodbo?" in odgovoril s primeri iz zadnjih sto let evropske zgodovine ter dodal: "Kje bomo čez 25, 50, 100 let?"
For the Socialists, Martin SCHULZ (DE) believed the key question was "What is the purpose of this exercise?" or "Why do we need the treaty?".
Rast Indije in Kitajske, izzivi globalizacije in podnebne spremembe so dokaz, da evropske države ne morejo delovati dovolj učinkovito, če nimajo ustreznih skupnih orodij.
After comparing the situation in Europe and the world today with that obtaining at various points over the last 100 years, he then asked "where will be in 25, in 50, in 100 years from now?".
"V enotnost je moč," je zaključil Schulz.
It was thus on the basis that "unity is strength" that his group gave its backing to the treaty.
Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) je poudaril, da svet čaka na močnejšo EU, ki bo lahko učinkovito ukrepala.
Speaking for ALDE group Andrew DUFF (UK) said the world waits for the EU with a stronger capacity to act on the world stage.
Dokument je načrt za še več privatizacij gospodarstva, ne govori o pravicah delavcev in varovanju okolja.
"This treaty is not about reform or efficiency, it is a carte blanche for further eroding democracy."
Poročilo: Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, Richard Corbett (A6-0013/2008) - Lizbonska pogodba
Ashley MOTE (NI, UK) asked if the Lisbon Treaty is such a good thing, why is it so inaccessible.
Razprava in glasovanje: sreda, 20. februar 2008
Most French and Dutch MEPs will support this report, he said. "
20080219IPR21733 Poročilo: Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, Richard Corbett - Lizbonska pogodba
Closing the debate, the other co-rapporteur, Íñigo Méndez de Vigo (EPP-ED, ES) , stressed that the aim was to "build a Europe based on respect for one's neighbours".
Razprava o Kosovu po razglasitvi neodvisnosti
Kosovo: a special case say MEPs
Premier Hashim Thaqi ob razglasitvi neodvisnosti Kosova
Kosovo declares independence - MEPs debate Europe's newest country
V sredo popoldne so poslanci Evropskega parlamenta razpravljali o nedeljski razglasitvi neodvisnosti Kosova in reakcijah na to odločitev.
On Wednesday afternoon MEPs held a debate with the Council and Commission on the implications of Sunday's unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo.
Stališče Sveta EU je predstavil slovenski zunanji minister Dimitrij Rupel, v razpravi pa sta sodelovala tudi slovenska poslanca Jelko Kacin in Lojze Peterle.
Opening the debate for the Council, Slovenian foreign minister Dimitrij RUPEL reminded the House that under the Thessaloniki Agenda 2003, the EU had announced that the western Balkan countries would eventually become EU members.
Minister Rupel je uvodoma poudaril, da je primer Kosova edinstven v mednarodnem pravu:
"Now is the time to recall our commitments", he said, and do something for all the countries of the region.
"Primer Kosova je zares edinstven, saj ga je mednarodna skupnost morala vzeti v zaščito iz humanitarnih razlogov, nakar je upravljala z njim skoraj devet let.
The EU-Western Balkans Forum to be held in Slovenia in March would be an important step, dealing with regional cooperation in various areas.
Ponedeljkova odločitev Sveta za splošne zadeve in zunanje odnose pa vendarle ni bila lahka.
The gradual abolition of visa requirements for the region was a key issue, in his view.
Do nje, kakor tudi do razglasitve neodvisnosti v Prištini ni prišlo nepričakovano.
On Kosovo, the minister said the EU had already announced the ESDP mission, although the establishment of relations with Kosovo would be a matter for individual Member States.
K njej so nas privedla naslednja dejstva.
Regarding Serbia, he said "The EU needs Serbia and Serbia needs the EU".
Prvič, dozorelo je spoznanje, da vrnitev na prejšnje stanje ni sprejemljiva, prav tako pa ne sedanji status quo .
Moreover, "If negotiations are exhausted, the opportunities for dialogue are not.
Nove formule za status Kosova obe strani nista našli in je tudi nadaljevanje pogajanj očitno ne bi prineslo.
The time has come for true dialogue between the Serbs and the Albanians in Kosovo, between Serbia and Kosovo, between Serbia and the EU."
Kosovo je že od leta 1999 pod upravo OZN in Srbija na Kosovu v tem času v skladu z resolucijo 1244 ni izvajala efektivne oblasti.
Case of Kosovo is "truly unique"
Kosovo, predvsem njegovo večinsko prebivalstvo, je pred tem letom bilo več let izpostavljeno sistematični represiji, tudi etničnemu čiščenju in humanitarni katastrofi," je opisal razmere slovenski zunanji minister
Mr Rupel took pains to emphasise that "The case of Kosovo is truly unique, because the international community had to step in to protect it on humanitarian grounds, and it became a protectorate for nine years".
"Evropska unija je sprejela skupno oceno dogajanja na Kosovu in zahodnem Balkanu.
The EU too was a unique community, said the minister, but it included respect for diversity.
Prvič, Evropska unija je potrdila dejstvo, da je Kosovo sprejelo resolucijo o neodvisnosti.
He then summarised the main points of the Council's common position just adopted on Kosovo, which included noting that Kosovo's independence declaration committed it to respect for the Serb minority and cultural heritage.
Drugič, Evropska unija ugotavlja, da se je Kosovo s to resolucijo zavezalo k demokratičnim načelom, na primer glede srbske manjšine in glede kulturnih spomenikov.
The Serb people, heritage and culture in Kosovo "form a valuable element of the European cultural mosaic", he said.
Tretjič, Evropska unija je potrdila nadaljevanje mednarodne misije in pripravljenost na vodilno vlogo v regiji.
Concluding, Mr Rupel described the EU as one of the most successful peacemaking organisations in the world, one based on tolerance and understanding for other people.
Četrtič, Evropska unija je potrdila evropsko perspektivo zahodnega Balkana.
His final words were a plea "to keep open the doors and windows for the Western Balkans and Kosovo".
Petič, Evropska komisija bo pripravila konkretne, recimo ekonomske, ukrepe za širšo regijo.
He began by saying "Kosovo's Assembly declared independence last Sunday in a climate of dignity.
Rehn je poudaril, da ima Komisija glede Kosova popolnoma enako stališče kot Svet EU: gre za primer sui generis, ki ni v nasprotju z načeli Listine OZN, Helsinške listine in resolucijami Varnostnega sveta ZN.
Like Mr Rupel, he stressed that Kosovo was a special case.
"Komisija je v pripravljenosti, da nudi vso podporo prizadevanjem Unije na Kosovu in bo s svojimi instrumenti podprla gradnjo kosovskih institucij ter politični in ekonomski razvoj.
Several Member States had recognised Kosovo and Mr Rehn expected others to do so, albeit at their own pace.
Kmalu, 5. marca, bomo predlagali konkretne ukrepe za širšo regijo z namenom napredovanja v izpolnitvi evropskih teženj tega območja.
The Commission, he said, was preparing to play its part and on 5 March would propose concrete measures for the broader region "in order to advance its European aspirations".
Komisar je na koncu poudaril, da se zaveda težavnosti trenutka za Srbijo in zgodovinske pomembnosti Kosova za srbski narod, vendar meni, da je treba obrniti nov list in namesto v preteklost gledati v prihodnost: "Prihodnost Srbije je v Evropi.
The Commission was working on organising a Donors' Conference, to take place before the summer, to help alleviate the most pressing financial problems.
Srbija in celotna regija imata perspektivo članstva v EU."
"I know this is a difficult moment for Serbia" added Mr Rehn.
Predstavniki političnih skupin
"I am very conscious of Kosovo's historical importance to the Serbian people.
Doris PACK (EPP-ED, DE) je dejala, da je bila razglasitev neodvisnosti Kosova neizbežna: "EU je vendarle delovala enotno, operacija Eulex se je začela in to ni napad na Srbijo - namenjena je predvsem za Srbom na Kosovu.
However, I believe the time has come to turn the page on the past, and to look to the future.
Ahtisaarijev načrt, ki je v Parlamentu dobil dvotretjinsko podporo, se mora začeti izvrševati.
And Serbia's future is in Europe.
Politiki na Kosovu morajo z odločenostjo oblikovati svojo državo, borit se morajo proti brezposelnosti, kriminalu.
Serbia and the whole region has a prospect of membership of the European Union".
Misija EU jih bo pri tem podpirala.
This was the way "to keep countries on a peaceful, reformist track".
Ne gre za precedenčni primer, gre za primer sui generis in obžalujem, da Miloševič tega ni doživel."
Doris PACK (EPP-ED, DE) began by referring to the inevitability of Kosovan independence but expressed her concern about the solution which had been found.
Jan Marinus WIERSMA (PES, NL) je prav tako poudaril, da je razglasitev dejstvo, s katerim se je treba soočiti, kosovski primer pa ostaja izjemno zapleten: "Odločili smo se, da se bodo države članice same odločale o ne/priznanju, a razmišljati moramo o evropski misiji tja in to bo jasen signal, Kosovske oblasti pa morajo vlagati predvsem v večetnično državo, ki bo zagotovila tudi zaščito Srbov na Kosovu v skladu z Ahtisaarijevim načrtom.
She emphasised that "this is certainly not an attack on Serbia" but also stated that "I am convinced that there will be problems ahead."
Prišlo je do zelo močnih odzivov.
She pointed to the importance of the rule of law in the future of Kosovo and of efforts to fight criminality.
Kako bi lahko preprečili, da bi Kosovo pristalo na osamljenem otoku izven naše civilizacije?
Jan Marinus WIERSMA (PES, NL) pointed out that although there has been intensive debate within his Group on this issue, "we've had to simply accept the reality on the ground."
Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK (ALDE, BE) je spomnila na primer nastajanja neodvisne Belgije v prvi polovici 19. stoletja, ko je do polnega priznanja nove belgijske države trajalo kar devet let.
Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK (ALDE, BE) began by stating that "any country which wants to go its own way ..[..].. is going to damage the territorial integrity of that group of countries."
O stališčih Srbije je izrazila razočaranje, ker ne pokaže razumevanja, vendar pa je obenem Beograd napovedal, da se ne bo zatekel k nasilju.
She pointed to the example of the Belgian situation and encouraged the Foreign Minister of Serbia to look at this example.
"Pogledati pa moramo tudi v prihodnost Kosova in celotne regije.
Mrs Neyts-Uyttebroeck expressed her sadness that the Foreign Minister repeated "the traditional Serbian position without any glimmer of understanding."
Unija je na območju investirala že več kot 3 milijarde evrov in bo kmalu še dodatnih 200 milijonov.
She concluded by pointing to the €3 billion invested by the EU in Kosovo to date and the need for more.
Hitro moramo napredovati tudi pri vizumskih olajšavah ter si prizadevati, da bi tamkajšnji prebivalci kmalu vzpostavili normalne medsebojne odnose."
She expressed her hope that the citizens of the region will soon be "able to enjoy normal relations."
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) je dejal, da bi priznanje neodvisnosti Kosova pomenilo za Unijo ogromno odgovornost za mir in za izgradnjo države: "Tako podpora suverenosti, kot tudi če bi Kosovo ostalo del Srbije, prinaša tveganje.
Konrad SZYMAŃSKI (UEN, PL) said that recognition of independence for Kosovo was particularly important.
Srbija mora vedeti, da se v čas pred 1999 ne more vrniti.
The EU should support and build up Kosovo's institutions.
Hkrati pa seveda upamo, da neodvisnost Kosova ne pomeni obnavljanja velike Albanije in nove vojne.
There was a risk of ethnic conflict, he said, and history must not be repeated.
Ta država je torej odgovorna za stabilnost v regiji."
"Europe has a vested interest in Kosovo and Kosovo has a vested interest in Europe", he concluded.
Joost LAGENDIJK (Zeleni/EFA, NL) je bil tudi sam prisoten v nedeljo v Prištini ob razglasitvi neodvisnosti in je odgovornost za oviranje pri poskusih izboljšanja razmer pripisal Rusiji.
Joost LAGENDIJK (Greens/EFA, NL) said that "what happened was the unavoidable, inescapable consequence of what happened in 1999 when tens of thousand of Kosovars were murdered in UN presence."
V odboru za zunanje zadeve smo lahko videli razburjenje zunanjega ministra Srbije.
"After initial euphoria the Kosovars will wake up to their responsibility.
To lahko razumem, dokler ne gre za nasilje in ko bo bes mimo, bo lahko bolj trezno razmišljal.
Proper relations with minorities must not exist on paper alone."
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) je izrazil nelagodnost glede odgovornosti, ki jo je prevzela EU, saj želi prispevati k boljšemu svetovnemu upravljanju, obenem pa bo veliko članic Unije zamajalo verodostojnost mednarodnega prava.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) said "the Union in principle aims to contribute to a better world government and many of its Member States have or will dangerously weaken the future credibility of international law by supporting the unilateral declaration of the province of a state."
"Glavna moč EU je, da priznavamo razmerje moči in ne pravna razmerja.
Countries of the EU were opening Pandora's box by recognizing power relations rather than then legal relations.
Odpiramo Pandorino skrinjico, to odpira tveganje, spodbudilo bo nacionalizem.
This will "feed nationalism rather than shrinking its sources.
Ne govorim o nostalgiji ali da bi si želel nazaj Miloševiča, vendar se moramo vprašati, ali bo Unija lahko izpolnila pričakovanja prebivalcev Kosova, ki smo jih spodbujali pri tem," je prepričan Wurtz.
The Union has alienated the Serbian People, without them there is no regional policy possible in that part of Europe."
Upam, da bo misija prekinila to nemoralno srbsko-albansko sodelovanje in omogočila dejansko sožitje, saj bo le to pot k evropski perspektivi."
He went on to stress the importance of cooperation between Serbs and Albanians: "The Serb and Albanian mafia bands and gangs have been working hand in hand for years - I hope that because of the European mission in Kosovo this will gave way to genuine interethnic cooperation because that is the only way that Kosovo will have the kind of European perspective we want them so much to enjoy."
Slavi BINEV (samostojni poslanci, BG) je poudaril, da je enostranska razglasitev neodvisnosti Kosova precedens: "Skupščina Kosova ni imela pravice razglasiti neodvisnosti in ta je izjava nezakonita.
Slavi BINEV (NI, BU) categorically opposed the independence of Kosovo declared last Sunday.
Bilo je uničenih veliko srednjeveških cerkva, in to pred očmi ZN in NATA - to je nekaj, kar se mi gnusi.
He spoke of ethnic cleansing committed by Albanians: "the fact that ethnic cleansing and destruction of thousands of orthodox churches took place under the eyes of the forces of NATO and UN is despicable and revolting."
Ustvarjamo novo muslimansko državo, katere naloga bo biti v prvi vrsti pri trgovanju z orožjem."
"We appeal to the EU not to accept Kosovo's independence and to abide by decisions of the UN Security Council."
Slovenska poslanca v razpravi
British and Irish speakers
Jelko KACIN (ALDE, SI) je dejal, da so razmere na Kosovu dokaj mirne, razen na severu, kjer so posamezni Srbi izvedli nekaj požigov.
Sarah LUDFORD (ALDE, UK) agreed with Commissioner Rehn that the message to Serbia must be that the time has come to turn the page.
"Razglasitev samostojnosti v skupščini Kosova je bila dostojanstvena, spoštljiva do vseh narodov, ki tam živijo in v duhu, ki naj prevlada v bodoče.
She hoped that Prime Minister Thaci will make it absolutely clear to his compatriots that the protection of the Serb minority and other minorities in Kosovo is an absolute priority, because violence will not be tolerated.
Prebivalci na Kosovu si zaslužijo zaupanje, verjeti moramo vanje, saj odločajo o svoji prihodnosti.
The important thing now, she said, is economic development.
Iskreno želijo, da bi bila tudi njihova prihodnost čim prej Evropska.
There is, she said, 40% unemployment in Kosovo, as well as massive unemployment in Serbia as well.
Kot poročevalec za Srbijo pozdravljam preudarno ravnanje Srbije, ki ni uvedla ekonomskih sankcij proti Kosovu.
"Let us move on towards rapid integration in the EU, moving via visa liberalisation, which I hope will come very soon", she concluded.
V tem čustvenem trenutku za Srbijo razumem trdo in grozečo retoriko nekaterih politikov, a praksa naj bo posledica razuma in evropskih vrednot.
Seán Ó NEACHTAIN (UEN, IE) ( speaking in Irish ) wholeheartedly welcomed Kosovo’s Declaration of Independence.
