Pet let kasneje se je z Evropskim svetom v Lizboni začela izvajati strategija, ki se imenuje po portugalski prestolnici.
Five years later, at the Lisbon Special European Council, the strategy bearing the name of the Portuguese capital was launched.
Državi sta tudi med največjimi prejemnicami sredstev iz strukturnih in kohezijskih sredstev, ki so v veliki meri prispevala k njunemu gospodarskemu razvoju.
Both countries are among the biggest recipients of structural and cohesion funds, which have widely contributed to their rapid economic development.
Uspeh te tretje evropske širitve izpred 20 let je še toliko večji če se spomnimo, da sta se državi v času, ko sta leta 1977 vložili prošnji za članstvo v takratni EGS, komaj dobro izvili iz spon diktature.
When Europe was enlarged for the third time the benefits, not just for Spain and Portugal but also for the Union, were all the more spectacular given that the two countries had barely emerged from dictatorial regimes when they submitted their requests to join the EEC in 1977.
Dva prelomna dogodka - Francova smrt leta 1975 v Španiji in "revolucija nageljev", ki je leta 1974 pometla z ostanki Salazarjevega režima na Portugalskem - sta državama odprli pot v demokracijo in omogočili začetek pristopnih pogajanj.
In Spain, the death of General Franco in 1975 and the 1974 “Carnation Revolution” in Portugal (which saw the end of the regime first set up by Salazar) opened the way to democracy and, at the same time, enabled negotiations on accession to get underway.
Predsednik parlamenta Josep Borrell meni, da "nobena država ni spremenila svojega obličja v tolikšni meri, kot je to storila Španija.
For Josep Borrell, Parliament’s Spanish President, “no other country has changed its face as much as Spain, not just tangibly in terms of the physical infrastructure which is there for all to see, but also in spirit as a country which has adapted to modernity and progress, has changed its attitudes, is open to the world and which takes pride in the recognition it has achieved and in contributing to a project which is much more political than some people think.”
Ne le skozi infrastrukturo, ki je opazna navzven, ampak tudi značajsko - država je sprejela modernizacijo in napredek, spremenila je svoj odnos, se odprla svetu in je ponosna na dosežke ter svoj prispevek k projektu, ki večjo politično težo, kot nekateri mislijo".
Manuel António dos Santos (PES), the Portuguese Vice-President of the European Parliament, makes the same “obviously very positive” assessment of Portugal’s presence within the EU.
Manuel António dos Santos, portugalski socialdemokrat in eden od podpredsednikov parlamenta, meni podobno ter ugotavlja, da so rezultati članstva že na prvi pogled zelo pozitivni: "Na gospodarskem in socialnem področju se vidi, kako se je država z evropsko pomočjo posodobila, zmanjšala socialne razlike in razkorak do ostalih članic.
Firstly, in economic and social terms, “it was possible with the help of the Community to modernise the country and its economy, reduce social inequalities and to narrow significantly the economic and social gap in relation to other Member States.”
Na politični ravni pa je bila portugalska pridružitev k Evropi odločilni dejavnik za okrepitev demokratičnega procesa in spremljajočih institucij.
Then, at the political level, “Portugal’s joining Europe was a critical factor in reinforcing the democratic process and its institutions.”

Spor med Rusijo in Ukrajino je poziv k izboljšanju energetske politike EU
Ukraine-Russia gas dispute - call for stronger EU energy policy
Viktor Juščenko in Vladimir Putin
Presidents Yushchenko and Putin
Evropska unija pokrije z dobavami iz Rusije četrtino svojih potreb po plinu, zato so poslanci opozorili, da je treba diverzificirati vire in izboljšati skupno energetsko politiko.
With about a quarter of the EU's gas needs coming from Russia, the need to diversify European sources and develop a common EU energy policy was a key theme of the debate.
Izredna seja delegacija za odnose z ukrajinskim parlamentom je bila sklicana v prvih dneh Novega leta, ko je kazalo, da se bo spor med Rusijo in Ukrajino nevarno poglobil in lahko povzročil celo prekinitev dobav zemeljskega plina članicam Unije.
Parliament's delegation for relations with the Ukrainian parliament decided in the first days of the new year to have a special meeting when tensions between Russia and Ukraine over the price of gas rose to fever pitch and for a moment it seemed that EU countries might suffer a cut in gas supplies as well.
Četudi sta državi medtem dosegli kratkoročni sporazum, je za razpravo ostalo precej perečih tem.
Although a short-term agreement has been reached by Russia and Ukraine in the meantime, there was still ample food for discussion.
Vodja delegacije, poljski socialdemokrat Marek Siwiec je na začetku seje orisal težaven položaj, v katerem se je znašla Evropa: "Zaradi rusko-ukrajinskega spora so bile prvič v zgodovini motene normalne dobave zemeljskega plina številnim državam EU.
At the start of Wednesday's meeting, the EP delegation's chairman, Polish socialist MEP Marek Siwiec, raised the predicament in which Europe found itself: "As a result of the Russian-Ukrainian gas dispute, for the first time in history, gas supplies to many EU countries have been interrupted… The scale of the recent developments is truly unprecedented.
Razsežnost dogodkov je brez primere z dosedanjimi izkušnjami in ob tem bi se morale članice Unije zbuditi iz spanca.
This should be a wake-up call for all EU Member States."
Vzpostaviti je treba učinkovit sistem, ki bo zagotavljal nemotene dobave energije za vso celino".
He went on to call for "an efficient mechanism providing energy security for the whole continent."
Rešitev je v raznolikosti virov
Diversification the key
Potrebo po zagotavljanju energije iz različnih med seboj neodvisnih virov sta izpostavila tudi nizozemski socialdemokrat Thijs Berman in poljski krščanski demokrat Jerzy Buzek .
The need for a diversification of energy resources was echoed by Thijs Berman, a Dutch social-democrat MEP and Polish Christian Democrat Jerzy Buzek.
Po njegovem mnenju, je "kriza pokazala na nujnost širšega evropskega sodelovanja in usklajevanja energetskih politik", oziroma potrebo po skupni energetski politiki .
The latter said that the crisis showed "that we need greater EU cooperation and coordination on energy policy."
Glede zemeljskega plina obstaja po besedah Hilde Hardeman iz Evropske komisije "vzajemna soodvisnost med Rusijo kot glavnim dobaviteljem, Ukrajino kot glavno tranzitno državo in EU kot glavnim potrošnikom".
As far as gas is concerned, "there is a mutual dependence between Russia as key supplier, Ukraine as key transit country and EU as key consumer," said Hilde Hardeman for the European Commission.
Camiel Eurlings , nizozemski krščanski demokrat in vodja delegacije za odnose z rusko dumo, je izpostavil dejstvo, da si Rusija želi razširitev sporazuma o sodelovanju z EU ter evropsko podporo pri vključevanju v Svetovno trgovinsko organizacijo.
Camiel Eurlings, a Dutch Christian-democrat and chairman of Parliament's delegation for relations with the Russian parliament pointed out that Russia wants to strengthen its cooperation agreement with the EU and wants European help to join the World Trade Organisation.
Po njegovem mnenju ima Rusija vso pravico, da zahteva tržne cene za dobave plina, vendar je način, kako je to nameravala doseči, nesprejemljiv in z njim kaže na željo po prevladi nad sosednjo državo.
Eurlings did not contest Russia's right to work towards market prices for gas deliveries, but felt that the way Russia handled this was unacceptable and showed a desire to wield power over its neighbour.
Meni tudi, da je treba začeti strateško razpravo o energiji, kjer naj bo mesto tudi za sodobne tehnologije na področju jedrske tehnologije.
Eurlings called for a strategic discussion on energy, including a role for modern nuclear technology.
Konservativni britanski poslanec Charles Tannock je šel še dlje in pozval, da bi "morali še prav posebej razmisliti o gradnji novih jedrskih elektrarn, kakor tudi razvoju na področju obnovljivih virov energije in zmanjšati energetsko odvisnost od kateregakoli dela sveta".
Conservative UK MEP Charles Tannock went even further and said that "particular consideration must now be given to building new nuclear power stations as well as developing renewable energy sources in order to lessen our dependence on importation from any one geographical area".
"Prijatelja spoznaš v stiski"
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
Roman Špek, ukrajinski veleposlanik pri EU, ki je tudi sodeloval v razpravi, je podal mnenje, da je Rusija nameravala s sporom o dobavah plina ustvariti krizno ozračje in izvajati politični pritisk na Ukrajino le nekaj mesecev pred tamkajšnjimi parlamentarnimi volitvami.
According to Roman Shpek, Ukraine's ambassador to the EU, Russia had attempted to create a "crisis situation" in the gas sphere and use it as a means of "political pressure" a few months ahead of parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
Ob tem je dodal, da je ukrajinski zunanji minister že zaprosil Evropsko komisijo za pomoč pri pogajanjih z Moskvo.
He added that Ukraine's foreign minister had already asked the European Commission for help in future negotiations with Russia.

Povzetek zasedanja 16. - 19.1.2006
Strasbourg Plenary : 16-19 January 2006
Spomin na umrlega kolega so evropski poslanci počastili z minuto molka.
"We are aiming at the use of renewable energies, we want to exhaust every drop of potential from them ."
Osrednja tema torkove razprave je bil predlog direktive o pristaniških storitvah, ki so ga parlamentarci v sredo zavrnili z veliko večino .
He stressed the importance of good relations with the social partners, inviting the two sides of industry to discuss how to go forward on subjects such as the services directive.
Poslancem so predstavniki Komisije in Sveta EU predstavili ukrepe za zagotovitev nemotene oskrbe z energijo in zemeljskim plinom.
We must fight against social dumping and protect the provision of public services by local and regional authorities ."
Med točkami dnevnega reda pa sta bila tudi predloga direktive o kopalnih vodah ter direktive o rudniških odpadkih , ki so ju sprejeli na glasovanju v sredo
" The spring summit must create incentives for growth - and the right enlargement could also be a growth strategy for old Member States ," he said.
Avstrijski kancler Wolfgang Schüssel je v sredo predstavil prednostne naloge predsedstva Unije v prvi polovici letošnjega leta. .
We needed to increase the qualifications and flexibility of our workforce better to compete with the US and Asia and to reduce unemployment.
V četrtek je parlament izglasoval spremembe poslovnika, ki predvidevajo strožje ukrepe proti poslancem, ki bi motili potek zasedanja .
This will not be popular for all, but there are tax gaps: short time financial speculation is exempt from tax, so is international aviation.
Evropski parlament je po dobrih dveh letih po prvem predlogu, v sredo zavrnil že drugi predlog direktive o liberalizaciji trga pristaniških storitev.
European Commission President José Manuel BARROSO said that in 2006, Europe had an " unclouded horizon " given the December agreement on the financial perspective.
Za zavrnitev je glasovalo 532 poslancev, 120 jih je bilo proti, 25 pa se jih je vzdržalo.
The spring summit, under the Austrian presidency, would be the first real test to see if Europe has delivered.
Največ kritik je bilo, podobno kot v prvem predlogu, zaradi določb o samoizvajanju in pilotaži.
The services sector and SMEs, he said, were key to growth in Europe.
Komisija bo odločitev parlamenta preučila in se odločila za ustrezne korake.
The Commission would be coming forward with proposals on research and education, on a European Institute of Technology, and a road map for gender equality.
Poslanci menijo, da bi morali pri vprašanjih o preglednosti državne pomoči pristaniščem in pošteni konkurenci med njimi dati več besede tako poslancem kakor tudi predstavnikom te gospodarske panoge.
The Commission President recalled that in the Spring, the Commission would publish its progress reports on Bulgaria and Romania and their readiness for accession on 1 January 2007.
Dejal je, da bo Komisiji poročal o razpravi in izidu glasovanja ter predlagal da "potegne zaključke" in nadaljuje pogovore z vsemi, ki se jih tiče problematika pristaniških storitev.
His group gave a clear yes to EU legislation on services which combined opening up and protection. "
Odbor ima nato dva meseca časa, da parlamentu sporoči svoje mnenje o (zavrnjenem) predlogu.
Finally on energy, he said prosperity was worth nothing if not based in democracy. "
Če se Komisija odloči, da umakne svoj predlog iz zakonodajnega postopka, pa mora parlament o zavrnitvi vseeno izglasovati resolucijo.
Martin SCHULZ (DE), leader of the Socialist group, said the presidency must have the necessary perspectives of growth and jobs.
Prek njih poteka 90 odstotkov naše zunanje trgovine, zato rabimo jasna pravila za spodbujanje naložb."
He said he could not understand how the Commission President could be satisfied with the deal done by the British presidency.
Poročevalec parlamentarnega odbor za promet Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (EPP-ED, DE) je na začetku poudaril, da so se v številnih predhodnih razpravah sodelujoči strinjali, da je treba ustvariti razmere za pošteno konkurenco med pristanišči, zato je bil začuden, ker je pred glasovanjem toliko nasprotovanja.
ALDE group leader Graham WATSON (UK) told the Austrian Chancellor: " Your main task is to reach agreement on seven year spending plans, but your backed a bid to slash the budget to a level which will not even meet the demands of Europe's leaders, let alone what citizens want.
"Rabimo evropska pravila.
We will vote to reject this deal ."
Gre za svobodo podjetništva in svobodo zagotavljanja storitev, zato morajo biti pravila jasna," je dejal in zavrniti kritike v petih točkah:
He continued: " Growth and jobs mean embracing opportunities offered by EU, not shrinking under pressure from protectionists.
- da bi novim ponudnikom omogočili vstop na trg pristaniških storitev, je treba objaviti nove razpise;
In the year of worker mobility, he condemned Austria's plans to prolong transitional arrangements seeking to prevent workers from the new Member States entering the labour market.
- prehodna obdobja omogočajo, da nihče od sedaj zaposlenih ne bi izgubil zaposlitve zaradi nove direktive;
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (DE), for the Greens/EFA group, paraphrased Albert Einstein saying it was what was not included in the question which was often the most important.
- samoizvajanje naj se umakne iz direktive, saj to urejajo pravilniki za ladijske posadke, ni pa niti nevarnosti "socialnega dumpinga", ker direktiva ne posega v kolektivne pogodbe;
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) commenced by noting that the presidency was "starting at top speed", but warned that the directive on port services, and the Presidency's financial plans would be called into question.
- novi razpisi bi zahtevali jasnejše cenovne ponudbe, kar bi pripeljalo do učinkovitejšega opravljanja storitev;
He called on the Commission to withdraw the directive on services, noting that "all Unions reject this; employers in Europe reject this out of hand".
- evropska zunanja trgovina potrebuje bolj učinkovita pristanišča, kar je tudi v interesu sedanjih izvajalcev storitev in bo zahtevalo več zaposlovanja v tem sektorju.
Roger KNAPMAN (IND/DEM, UK) opened his speech with "so wonderful was Mr. Blair's presidency to Euro-Sceptics that we had hoped for an encore, but it was not to be".
Poročevalec je na koncu predstavitve vnovič pozval kolege, naj ne zavrnejo predloga.
He warned that, after listening to the President's speech, the " Constitution is not dead but merely sleeping".
"Ne bodite pretirano zaskrbljeni zaradi včerajšnjih stavk in protestov.
He described the European Union as a "very expensive club to belong to" and had a message for the Eastern European newcomers: "sorry - the cheque is not in the post.
Mislim, da ne smemo dopusti, da dejanja posameznih delavcev vplivajo na naše odločitve," je zaključil Jarzembowski
However, she advised that Europe needs a coherent economic policy with competition and openness, and that it "has to find new strengths and the will to work together" .
V imenu Evropske ljudske stranke je Marianne THYSSEN (EPP-ED, BE) zavrnila predlog Komisije s primero, da je po zavrnitvi prvega predloga, parlament dobil "nov zabojnik z dodatnim tovorom, večina pa ostaja enaka in ignorira mnenje parlamenta" .
She also urged the presidency to open up the debate on the constitution, to create a streamlined text and to have the "boldness to dare to commit to a more united Europe, with clearly defined tasks and clearly defined powers" .
Dodala je, da ni problem le določilo o samoizvajanju in poročevalec, čeprav iz njene skupine, verjetno ne bo dobil zadostne podpore.
Ms: Muscardini demanded that the presidency consider immigration, security, energy, and the environment as its priorities for the coming term.
Za socialdemokrate je nastopil Willi PIECYK (PES, DE), ki je najprej obsodil včerajšnje izpade na protestih v Strasbourgu in napovedal, da bo njegova skupina zavrnila predlog.
Hans-Peter MARTIN (NI, AT) was concerned with the financial aspects of the President's agenda, and noted that "you can do something with money" but "more money doesn't mean you can achieve something better ".
"Večina pristanišč že deluje učinkovito in po ekonomskih principih - direktiva bi vnesla nepotrebno birokracijo in ogrozila delovna mesta.
He accused the Austrians of favouritism when it came to spending, alleging that 427 Austrian farmers get more than €72,000 in direct payments, and accordingly declared a need for greater transparency: "who's going to get what from the pot?".
Doslej še nisem slišal utemeljenega razloga, zakaj bi morali izpostaviti prav ta delovna mesta in ogroziti socialno varnost zaposlenih v pristaniščih.
In creating this transparency he also encouraged taking a look at the media landscape as well, and advised the Austrians to put an end to their silence on domestic policy.
Ni razlogov za to."
Mr Kirkhope said that it would be better if the Constitution was not " resurrected ".
Anne JENNSEN (ALDE, DK) je v imenu liberalcev opozorila, da Evropska unija po skoraj petdesetih letih od začetka integracije še vedno nima pravnega okvirja za pristaniške storitve, vendar pa tudi predlog ne upošteva posebnosti tega sektorja.
Europe's citizens were concerned with jobs, growth, the environment, fighting terrorism and crime in order to achieve a better quality of life.
"Smo za direktivo, vendar ne v predlagani obliki.
Andrew DUFF (ALDE, UK) gave an overview of various politicians' positions on the Constitution. "
Spoštujemo prizadevanja poročevalca za dopolnila. (...)
He asked Chancellor Schüssel which of his colleagues was right.
Moja skupina je razdeljena, vendar bodo nekateri poslanci glasovali za predlog," je napovedala jutrišnji izid glasovanja poslanka Jennsen.
The choice was either to export stability or import instability: " The Balkans is a European success story.
Tudi Zeleni bodo po besedah Joosta LANGEDIJKA (Zeleni/EFA, NL) glasovali proti predlogu direktive, ki ne ustreza niti delavcem niti ponudnikom storitev.
US defeated Milosevic militarily but 90 per cent of peace keeping troops there are now Europeans.
"Problemov, ki jih imajo v nekaterih pristaniščih, ne moremo rešiti s pravili za vsa pristanišča.
This is Europe's peaceful face, not a military face ."
Komisija naj umakne predlog in predlaga drugačne načine reševanja," je dejal Langedijk.
He called on Iran to go back to its moratorium on nuclear development and not to do anything to destabilise the situation.
Prizadela bi predvsem srednja in majhna podjetja.
On the labour market, he pointed out that the transitional periods had been agreed by all sides in drawing up the accession treaties, and that should be respected.
Čeprav se sektor mora reformirati, pa po mnenju skupine neodvisnosti in demokracije ta direktiva ni pravi odgovor.
Regarding the Court of Justice, he said " We need balance on respect for and implementation of community law and subsidiarity.
Za direktivo bi po njegovem težko našli kompromisno rešitev.
There would be some room for manoeuvre in the negotiations, but first he needed the mandate from the Council, he said.
Predstavitev avstrijskega predsedstva
President Barroso , in his response to the debate, said that the two key points of the Austrian Presidency would be the Spring European Council and the June European Council.
Avstrijski kancler Wolfgang SCHÜSSEL je poslancem Evropskega parlamenta v sredo predstavil prednostne naloge šestmesečnega predsedovanja Evropski uniji, ki ga je Avstrija prevzela s 1. januarjem.
First, the institutions would have to agree on the EU's budget and there was some limited room for negotiations but the budget had to be ready to be implemented by 1 January 2007 otherwise the new Member States in particular would lose out.
Poudaril je predvsem pomen ustvarjanja novih delovnih mest, oblikovanje sporazuma o finančni perspektivi in ustvarjanje novega zaupanja državljanov v Evropo.
The report adopted argues that no further enlargement, after Romania and Bulgaria, is possible on the basis of the Treaty of Nice and calls for a Constitution for 2009, to ensure a democratic and effective EU.
In barva Evrope ni ena, temveč pisana, kot je logotip avstrijskega predsedstva."
Comprehensive institutional reform is seen as necessary to ensure that an enlarged EU functions properly, since the Nice Treaty is inappropriate for the continuation of the integration process.
Vprašal se je, zakaj je med državljani kljub številnim uspehom skupne Evrope toliko dvomov, kar se je pokazalo z lanskima referendumoma v Franciji in na Nizozemskem ter z nasprotovanjem širitvi in nezaupanjem v institucije.
Different outcomes of the debate are envisaged in the report, from abandoning the constitutional project to continuing with ratification, from seeking to clarify the present text to complete re-drafting.
Po kanclerjevem mnenju gre v prvi meri za to, kako si zastavimo vprašanje, pri čemer ne smemo vedno pričakovati pravih odgovorov in bližnjic do rešitev.
Although Members agree that it is important not to pre-empt the outcome of such a debate, there were differences of views among the groups that supported the report.
Osrednji temi marčevskega vrha EU bosta gospodarska rast in zaposlovanje , pri čemer naj bi več pozornosti namenili malim in srednjim podjetjem ter naložbam: "Mala in srednja podjetja so pravzaprav edina, ki ustvarjajo delovna mesta.
On the contrary, the two co-rapporteurs support the idea of keeping only the constitutional core of the current text and use it as a basis to substantially improve the Treaty.
So speči velikan, ki ga je treba prebuditi.
Finally, Members opted for the first alternative.
Olajšati jim je treba dostop do kapitala, do raziskav, do sredstev iz regionalnih razvojnih skladov ter zmanjšati birokratske ovire."
Format for the new public debate Members agree that, to increase public participation, the proposed European debate should be guided by common topics and have clear political goals.
