Ali zavzemate posebno stališče do medverskega dialoga in odnosov Turčije do svojih sosed?
You have a very particular perspective both on inter-religious dialogue and on relations between Turkey and its neighbours.
Bosta ta vidika vplivala na pristopna pogajanja med EU in Turčijo?
Do you think these are factors that will influence the ongoing accession negotiations between Turkey and the EU?
"Turčija ima dobre odnose z vsemi sosedi, vključno s tremi ortodoksnimi državami: Grčijo, Bolgarijo in Romunijo.
Turkey has good relations with all its neighbours, including Greece, Bulgaria and Romania, three Orthodox countries and now members of the EU.
Številni menijo, da je Turčija skoraj popolnoma muslimanska država in da za njo ni prostora v Evropi.
Many say that Turkey, as an almost entirely a Muslim country, has no place in Europe.
Mi verjamemo, da verske razlike ne smejo biti ovira.
We believe that the difference of religion should not be an obstacle.
Če Turčija izpolnjuje vsa pristopna merila, potem se ji mora dovoliti tudi vstop v EU, pa čeprav je njeno prebivalstvo muslimansko.
If Turkey fulfils all the criteria for candidate countries, it can be accepted to the EU even if its population is Muslim.
Res da je to drugi svet, vendar ta lahko sobiva s krščanskim, kot se je to v različnih delih sveta že pogosto zgodilo v preteklosti.
This is a different world, but it can coexist with the Christian world, as it has happened many times in the past and in many places across the globe.
V Evropi je prostor za vse, če so se ti le pripravljeni prilagajati in se ne umikajo v geta."
In Europe there is room for everyone, as long as we adapt and avoid living in ghettos.

Wole Soyinka – prvi afriški Nobelov nagrajenec za literaturo v Evropskem parlamentu
Wole Soyinka - Africa's first literary laureate
Nasmejan Wole Soyinka Afriški teden v Evropskem parlamentu je združil mnoge znane ljudi.
Wole Soyinka: "every culture has its priorities" African week has brought many prominent people to the European Parliament this week.
Eden teh osebnosti je nigerijski pisatelj in pesnik Wole Soyinka, ki je leta 1986 prejel Nobelovo nagrado za literaturo.
One of them is Wole Soyinka, a Nigerian writer, poet, playwright and the first African winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1986.
V četrtek je evropske poslance navdušil s svojim strastnim govorom o nujnosti spoštovanja človekovih pravic.
On Thursday, in talks with MEPs, he spoke passionately about the need for human rights violators to face justice.
Z Wolejem Soyinko smo se pogovarjali o dialogu med kulturami.
Whilst at the EP we caught up with him and asked him his views on cooperation between cultures.
Med državljansko vojno v Nigeriji je bil Wole Soyinka zaradi svoje kritične drže do vojske in vlade večkrat zaprt.
Wole Soyinka has been imprisoned several times in Nigeria for his mediation during the civil war and later criticism of the military and government.
Soyinka se v svojih pesmih in gledaliških delih ukvarja s korupcijo, tiranijo in kultom osebnosti v afriških diktaturah.
All his poetry and plays seem to deal with corruption, tyranny and the cult of personality in African dictatorships.
Gospod Soyinka, v četrtek ste se v Evropskem parlamentu udeležili zaprtega pogovora o mednarodnem dialogu.
Wole Soyinka, on Thursday you were on the panel for the closing session on intercultural dialogue.
Katere vsebine bi morale biti postavljene v ospredje, ko govorimo o medkulturnem dialogu?
What issues should people be talking about concerning intercultural dialogue?
"Medkulturni dialog je zame človeški pojav, govorimo o tem, kako se ga lahko dejansko izvaja in spodbuja.
"For me it's a human phenomenon - what we're talking about is how to practicalise and enhance this kind of dialogue.
Predvidevam, da mednarodna skupnost ne govori več o hierarhiji kulture.
The international community has reached the level now that the notion of a hierarchy of cultures has been eroded.
Priznanje nepoznanih ali drugih kultur, kot tudi kulturnih pojavov je napredovalo.
Nowadays the recognition of cultures that are unknown or strange is far more advanced and there is far more dissemination of cultural phenomena.
Treba je še nadgraditi mehanizme kulturne izmenjave."
So what it means is that the mechanisms of cultural exchange need to be enhanced".
V svoji literaturi ste se ukvarjali s političnimi temami v Afriki, kot sta korupcija in zloraba moči.
Your work has dealt with many political themes in Africa - corruption, abuse of power and so forth.
Kakšna naj bo vloga pesnikov in literatov v afriški in evropski družbi?
What role should the poet and playwright play in society - in Africa and in Europe?
Zmeraj sem zastopal stališče, da politične želje lahko uspejo najti svoj pravi prostor v kulturnem programu.
I have always taken the position that somehow political concerns have a way of occupying the proper space within cultural programmes.
Ljudje si stalno postavljajo vprašanje o prostoru individuuma v skupnosti.
People constantly ask the question "what is the place of the individual in the community".
Verjamem, da socialni in politični elementi v kulturi, bodisi poezija afriške celine bodisi poezija nekdanje Sovjetske zveze, najdejo svojo pot.
I believe that the socio-political element of culture, whether it is the poetry of the African continent or the Soviet Union, finds its own way.
Je kot voda, ki si poišče svojo lastno pot."
It's like water - it finds its own level".
Na kaj natančno mislite, ko govorite o mehanizmih izmenjave med kulturami?
You spoke earlier about "mechanisms of exchange" between cultures, what do you mean exactly?
"Da vam navedem primere, britanski in francoski kulturni instituti pošljejo od časa do časa gledališke skupine v Afriko, na primer v Nigerijo, da tam priredijo delavnice in predstave.
"To give you examples, the British Council and the Alliance Française from time to time send theatre groups to Africa for performances and workshop - to Nigeria for example.
Nigerijske skupine nato potujejo v nasprotno smer, da se lahko tuje občinstvo udeleži njihovih gledaliških predstavah.
Then Nigerian groups can go abroad and introduce to the audiences theatrical idioms that they have never encountered before.
Ko se enkrat udeležimo takšnih predstav, lahko razumemo, kako zelo nas takšna izmenjava lahko obogati in razširi naše obzorje.
One only has to be part of this to see how much enriching it is that they spread their horizons".
Kot nadaljnji primer bi rad navedel pojav internacionalizacije regionalnih praznovanj.
The other example is the phenomenon of the internationalisation of local festivals.
K nam smo povabili tudi Japonsko, Kitajsko in skandinavske države.
We invited Japan, China, and the Scandinavian countries.
Mnogi Nigerijci niso vedeli, da imajo tudi druge države običaje mask, temveč verjamejo, da je to afriška tradicija.
Many Nigerians do not know that so called "masking" is a tradition of these countries - they always thought it was from Africa.
To spoznanje je bilo za prebivalstvo Nigerije zelo pomembno tudi glede verskega fundamentalizma, ki spodkopava versko razumevanje in omejuje horizont ljudi.
It was doubly useful for Nigerians because there is this religious fundamentalism which is warping the cultural understanding and the horizons of people.
Mnogi kristjani in muslimani v Nigeriji – študenti niso vključeni – že zmeraj verjamejo, da so maske simbol fetišizma, poganstva in barbarstva."
Many Christians and Muslims (in Nigeria) still believe that masks are a sign of fetishism, paganism, barbarism - including students.
Kako se počutite v Evropskem parlamentu med afriškim tednom?
How do you feel to be at the European Parliament during Africa week?
"Kako se počutim?
How do I feel?
Nahajam se na poznanih tleh.
When we were in trouble I used to visit MEPs and talk to them.
Ko je bila Nigerija v težavah, sem zmeraj obiskal poslance Evropskega parlamenta in sem se z njimi pogovarjal.
When things seem to be stabilised in our country and I received an invitation, it was an opportunity to come here and say thanks for your assistance during the last dictatorship.
Običajno me povabijo me krizami v Nigeriji – upam, da se nikoli več ne bom vrnil na tak način."
"Nowadays the recognition of cultures that are unknown or strange is far more advanced"

Parlamentarci za odločnejše izvajanje Lizbonske strategije
Joint Parliamentary Meeting on Lisbon Strategy calls for free movement of knowledge
Prost pretok znanja, odprava birokratskih ovir, naložbe v izobraževanje in razvoj ter podpora malim in srednjim podjetjem so le nekatere od tem, ki so jih poslanci nacionalnih in Evropskega parlamenta izpostavili na 4. medparlamentarnem srečanju o Lizbonski strategiji v ponedeljek in torek v Bruslju.
Free movement of knowledge, cutting red tape, investment in education and the labour markets, and more support for SMEs were among the things MEPs and national MPs recommended at Tuesday's closing session of the fourth Joint Parliamentary Meeting on the Lisbon Strategy to promote competitiveness, growth and jobs.
Drugi dan srečanja so poročevalci treh delovnih skupin kolegom predstavili zaključke ponedeljkovih razprav, nato pa je sledila izmenjava mnenj s predsednikom Komisije in predstavnikom Sveta EU.
At the start of Tuesday's meeting the three working group rapporteurs reported back to the assembly on progress achieved within the Lisbon process and on steps that need to be taken in the future.
Raziskave in razvoj - odgovor na globalizacijo
Responding to globalisation through research and development
Malcom Harbour (EPP-ED, UK), poročevalec skupine, ki je razpravljala o ustreznih načinih odgovarjanja na izzive globalizacije, je izpostavil predvsem visoke administrativne stroške prilagajanja obsežni zakonodaji.
Malcolm Harbour (EPP-ED, UK), rapporteur for the working group on responses to globalisation through research and development, pointed out that high regulatory compliance costs due to administrative burdens take away "money that could actually be spent for research and innovation".
Tako zapravljena sredstva bi lahko učinkoviteje porabili z naložbami v raziskave in inovacije.
He added that tax incentives should be considered "to leverage public investment to get more private investment".
Davčne olajšave bi morale predstavljati "javno spodbudo za več zasebnih naložb" , mala in srednja podjetja pa dobiti dodaten zagon za rast, saj "so ključnega pomena pri ustvarjanju delovnih mest".
Mr Harbour also stressed that small businesses are "the key engine of creating jobs" and should be encouraged to grow.
Poslanec je pri tem opozoril na nevarnost, da bi majhna podjetja zaradi različnih njim namenjenih spodbud in pomoči želela ostati takšna, kot so.
He warned against the phenomenon whereby companies prefer "to stay small because there are many more incentives for SMEs".
Naložbe v ljudi in trg delovne sile
Investing in people and the labour market
"Več je treba vlagati v človeške vire," je zaključke druge skupine sklenila Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL, PT).
"We need to invest more in human resources", said Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL, PT), summarising the conclusions of the working group on labour market measures.
Po njenih besedah je edini način za zmanjšanje demografskega primanjkljaja preprečevanje predčasnega zaključka šolanja za približno šest milijonov ljudi in boljša vključenost invalidov v trg dela.
The only way of "preventing the demographic deficit getting worse", she said, is to "stop some six million people from leaving school earlier" and to involve disabled people more extensively in the labour market.
Izrazila je skrb, ker je med brezposelnimi skoraj 40 odstotkov mladih, v Evropi pa je tudi 25 milijonov zaposlenih z nizkimi dohodki.
She was also worried about the "almost 40% of the total number of unemployed who are young people" and the 25 million low-wage earners.
Na koncu je še poudarila nujnost naložb v izobraževanje kmetov in se zavzela za več podpore družinskim kmetijam.
Finally, Ms Figueiredo called for more investment in training for farmers and more support for family farms.
Merjenje napredka pri izvajanju strategije
Measuring progress towards the Lisbon goals
Poročevalec tretje delovne skupine je bil poslanec slovenskega Državnega zbora Franc Horvat, ki je kot šibke točke izpostavil naložbe v raziskave in razvoj ter prizadevanja za zmanjšanje revščine, kjer kazalci kažejo pomanjkljivosti pri izvajanju.
Slovenian MP Franc Horvat, rapporteur for the working group on measuring the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy, pointed to research and development, energy security and poverty as "problematic areas" where indicators show deficits in implementation and performance.
Posebej je poudaril nujnost doseganja "pete svoboščine", skupnega evropskega raziskovalnega prostora in prostega pretoka znanja.
He called for the implementation of a "Fifth Freedom", the free movement of knowledge.
"Proračuni držav članic, kakor tudi evropski proračun bi morali bolj slediti prednostnim nalogam strategije.
"Budgets need to be adapted both on national and EU levels" and brought into line with the Lisbon Strategy, said Mr Horvat.
Zastaviti si moramo ambicioznejše cilje in si prizadevati za njihovo učinkovitejše izvajanje," je dodal slovenski poslanec.
He concluded that the Lisbon Strategy had to be flexible enough to adapt to the different levels of development in the various Member States.
Peta svoboščina in tretja industrijska revolucija
Create a "Fifth freedom" of knowledge
Med pomembnimi cilji strategije je omenil tudi skupno energetsko politiko, ki naj "vključuje zanesljivo, solidarno in konkurenčno oskrbo z energijo ter vzpodbuja raziskave in razvoj novih energetskih tehnologij.
"We should seek to provide as soon as possible the Fifth Freedom - an open, common research area including a European institute of Innovation and Technology", said France Cukjati, President of the Slovenian National Assembly (Državni zbor).
Evropa mora postati svetu zgled in vodilna sil v boju proti podnebnim spremembam ter motor gospodarskega in socialnega napredka."
He added that a common energy policy should "bring incentives for research and development of new technologies thus turning Europe into a world model and leading player in the fight against global warming".
V imenu Sveta je pred poslanci nastopil slovenski minister za razvoj Žiga Turk, ki se je med drugim dejal, da se človeštvo v tretji industrijski revoluciji - prehodu v gospodarstvo nizkim izpustom ogljika - sooča z izzivom zmanjšanja odvisnosti od virov, ki niso trajnostni: "Da bi pri tem uspeli, moramo mobilizirati ves naš znanstveni, tehnični, gospodarski in politični potencial, spremeniti pa moramo tudi svoje vrednote."
Mr Cukjati was backed by Slovenian Minister for Growth and Development Žiga Turk, who said that "we need a scientific breakthrough to change into a low-carbon economy; we should enter global markets with new, innovative products and services".
V nadaljevanju se je minister zavzel za spodbujanje podjetniškega duha med Evropejci, saj "nam manjka inovativnih in kreativnih malih podjetij, zato mora posebna skrb veljati njihovemu nastajanju, dostopu do znanja in raziskovalne infrastrukture ter do virov kapitalskega financiranja."
The minister concluded that "we need more high-innovative and creative SMEs and we should provide them with better access to knowledge, research infrastructure and capital".
Komisija proti birokratskemu obravnavanju strategije
Lisbon Strategy should not become another bureaucratic exercise, says Barroso
Davčni sistemi
No tax rate harmonisation
V razpravi se je pojavilo tudi vprašanje davkov.
Hans Eichel, of the German Bundestag, agreed with President Barroso that the Commission should not seek to impose tax rate harmonisation.
Poslanec nemškega Bundestaga in nekdanji finančni minister Hans Eichel , se je strinjal, da Komisija ne bi smela zahtevati harmonizacije davčnih stopenj po Evropi, podprl pa je zamisli o uskladitvi davčnih osnov saj "27 različnih načinov obračunavanja davkov pomeni ogromno oviro za mala in srednja podjetja".
Mr Eichel said, however, that the way in which taxes are levied should be harmonised because "the 27 different corporate tax regimes are an incredible obstacle for SMEs".
Podobno je razmišljal evropski poslanec José Albino Silva (EPP-ED, PT): "Ne moremo imeti enotnih davkov, lahko pa znižamo stroške dela, še posebej višino prispevkov za socialno zavarovanje."
"We can't have the same tax", agreed José Albino Silva Peneda (EPP-ED, PT), "but we could reduce the charges on labour, especially social security charges".
Naložbe v izobraževanje
Investments in education
Predsednik francoske narodne skupščine Bernard Accoyer je seznanil kolege, da je Francija že začela izvajati ambiciozni program reform, vključno z reformami univerzitetnega sistema in davčnimi spodbudami za raziskave in mala podjetja.
President of the French National Assembly Bernard Accoyer reported that France had already launched an "ambitious reform programme" within the Lisbon process which included reforming the French universities and a tax programme to promote research and SMEs.
Silvia-Adriana Ţicău (PES, RO) pa je še posebej poudarila, da je treba nameniti večjo pozornost post-doktorskemu študiju.
Silvia-Adriana Ticau (PES, RO) stressed that in particular "post-university and post-doctoral education should be boosted".

Po kulturna doživetja v Liverpool in Stavanger
Liverpool and Stavanger – European Capitals of Culture 2008
Liverpool - evropska prestolnica kulture
Liverpool's iconic seafront
Liverpool, mesto Beatlov in nogometa, ter norveška naftna prestolnica Stavanger sta si prislužila letošnjo lovoriko evropskih prestolnic kulture.
Liverpool and Stavanger, although over 800 km apart, will make their mark on the cultural map of Europe this year as they celebrate being the official 2008 European capitals of culture.
V obeh obmorskih mestih se bodo to leto zvrstile kulturne prireditve, ki bodo združevale glasbo, ples, arhitekturo, film, upodabljajočo umetnost, kulinariko in še veliko več.
Plays, concerts and exhibitions are among the events both cities plan as thousands of people visit the two port cities over the course of the year.
Namen podeljevanja naziva evropska prestolnica kulture je opozoriti na bogastvo, razlike in podobnosti kulturne dediščine v Evropi.
Each city is under the international spotlight for one year, giving them the chance to showcase their cultural life, raise their profile and transform their cultural image.
Pri izbiri svoje mnenje poda tudi Evropski parlament.
As well debating the merits of individual bids, the committee can also hold public hearings.
Pristaniška metropola Liverpool s skoraj 450.000 prebivalci je stara več kot 800 let.
Being crowned as the 2008 capital of culture is a recognition of the economic and cultural renaissance the city has undergone since the decline of traditional industries.
Mesto je po svetu zaslovelo po legendarnih Beatlih, v njem pa domujeta tudi dva britanska prvoligaška nogometna kluba Everton F.C. in Liverpool F.C.
Over the next 12 months a series of events will celebrate the creativity of Liverpool and her people.
Liverpool ima danes za Londonom drugo največjo kulturno ponudbo v Angliji: več galerij in narodnih muzejev kot ostala britanska mesta.
February will see a series of lectures on Liverpool and a concert of Sir John Tavener's new Requiem in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral at the end of the month.
