V zaključku je predsednik Komisije omenil še cilje, ki so si jih voditelji EU postavili na področju boja proti podnebnih spremembam ter za uvajanje obnovljivih virov energije.
In conclusion, Mr Barroso made reference to the two key deadlines set by the European Council in the area of climate change and renewables and in the area of energy and the internal market.
Komisija pa naj bi še pred poletjem pripravila predloge za prenovo zakonodaje na socialnem področju, zakonodajni predlog o malih podjetjih ter predloge za sredozemsko partnerstvo.
For the Commission's part, Mr Barroso pointed to three areas on which the Commission will work before the summer: renewal of the social agenda, the small business act and the area of Mediterranean partnership.
Zagotoviti moramo, da bodo ljudje bolje razumeli, kaj pravzaprav počnemo.
However, the EU should not become insular, he said.
Želimo prost pretok raziskovalcev, študentov, predavateljev, boljše razmere za zaščito pravic intelektualne lastnine, odpravo preprek pri priznavanju diplom in kvalifikacij. (...)
The public had yet to fully understand the need for economic reforms.
Pozdravljam tudi pobudo za Sredozemsko unijo.
Mr Daul stressed the importance of free movement of researchers, and improved mutual recognition of qualifications.
Gre za zamisel, ki je deloma posledica dejstva, da barcelonski proces ni bil tako uspešen kot smo želeli, stabilnost držav okoli Sredozemlja pa je v našem interesu."
Mr Daul welcomed the idea of a Union of the Mediterranean, an idea first raised by France, as he said, the Barcelona process "had not proved to be as successful as we would have hoped."
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE) se je osredotočil na vprašanje socialne dimenzije Evrope in pomen znanja, ki ustvarja priložnosti.
Martin SCHULZ (DE) for the PES group said that growth was stable but was under threat.
Tu mislimo, da našega mnenja ne jemljete dovolj resno."
Finally, Mr Schulz said that the Eastern dimension should be given equal weighting to the Mediterranean dimension.
Adina-Ioana VĂLEAN (ALDE, RO): "Kar se tiče podnebnih sprememb: na koncu Sveta je veliko besed in malo dejanj, države že iščejo bližnjice, kako bi zmanjšale stroške.
For the ALDE group, Adina-IOANA VĂLEAN (RO) said that often rhetoric was greater than action at European Councils.
Prvotni predlog je bil 10-odstotno zmanjšanje izpustov CO2, dokument pa govori samo o 'občutnem zmanjšanju'," je opozorila poslanka in dodala, da je uvajanje "pete svoboščine" mogoče prehitro, saj Unija še vedno ni dosegla popolnega izvajanja prvih štirih temeljnih svoboščin.
Ms Valean stressed the importance of energy efficiency saying that earlier drafts of the Council conclusions had suggested that governments reduce by 10 per cent their carbon emissions but in the final conclusions read only "substantial progress".
Brian CROWLEY (UEN, IE) : "Dejanska ovira gospodarski rasti ni kriza trga nepremičnin v ZDA, ampak naša nesposobnost prevzeti tveganje in poiskati inovativne rešitve na kriznih področjih gospodarstva.
Ms Valean also cautioned against excessive optimism on the economic outlook given the US fundamentals.
V zadnjih sto letih so bile ali ZDA ali Evropa vodilne v industrijskem razvoju, inovacijah in napredku," je dejal poslanec in opozoril, da bo leta 2017 še vedno zaposlenih 73 odstotkov sedanje delovne sile, ob tem da danes poznamo le 10 odstotkov tehnologije, ki bo takrat v uporabi, zato je treba takoj povečati naložbe v nove tehnologije in usposabljanje zaposlenih.
Most Member States had not reached the 3 per cent goal for Research and Development and the four freedoms had not yet been fully achieved in terms of free movement of people and services, hence talking of a fifth freedom of knowledge was somewhat premature.
Rebecca HARMS (Zeleni/ALE, DE): "Nimam občutka, da so na Svetu govorili o novih, bolj ambicioznih podnebnih ciljih.
Brian CROWLEY (IE) for the UEN said: "The reality is that the real barrier to growth is not the sub-prime market in the US but our inability to take risks and find innovation in crisis areas.
Nekatere države se ločeno pogajajo o vizumih, o protiraketnih ščitih, o Kosovu si nismo enotni, prav tako pri oskrbi z energijo in Sarkozyjeva ideja o Sredozemski uniji je le poskus dobave urana v Francijo.
'How can we talk of exceptions if we are to persuade others internationally to toe the line on climate change?", she asked.
Premalo je skupnih točk, enotnosti ni bilo."
"We want proper emissions trading and we need to be standing up to lobbies from the steel and automobile industries."
Dimitrios PAPADIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, GR): "Govorili ste o socialnih ciljih, obenem pa imamo v Evropski uniji 70 milijonov revnih, od tega 20 milijonov otrok.
Dimitrios PAPADIMOULIS (GUE/NGL, GR) emphasised the lack of success at the Summit and the weakness of various positions.
Johannes BLOKLAND (IND/DEM, NL) je pozdravil napredek pri zakonodaji o podnebnih spremembah in poudaril, da bi si moral Svet prizadevati za oblikovanje kompromisa že v prvem branju postopka sprejemanja svežnja okoljsko-podnebne zakonodaje,
Johannes BLOKLAND (IND/DEM, NL) welcomed the ambitious proposals for legislation on climate change.
Roger HELMER (samostojni poslanci, UK): "Zaključki Evropskega Sveta vsebujejo vse klišeje, ne dotikajo pa se bistva.
He stressed that it was important that the Council avoid taking steps which would make agreement with the Parliament at 1st reading impossible.
Imamo preveč predpisov in preveč davkov, zaradi česar se nismo sposobni soočiti z globalno konkurenčnostjo."
He asked whether we could expect further proposals to develop the Lisbon strategy.
Evropska agencija za okolje je nedavno izračunala, da bi bilo mogoče občutno zmanjšati izpuste, če bi ravnanje z odpadki smiselno povezali s politiko boja proti podnebnim spremembam.

Lobiranje v EU pod drobnogledom
EU lobbying under spotlight
Lobiranje v Bruslju: Odprta vrata, stroga pravila
Almost 15,000 lobbyists in Brussels may face new working practices after the Parliament's Constitutional Affairs Committee backed a report which calls on them to disclose their fees and have their names on a mandatory public list.
Brez prispevka lobistov bi bilo oblikovanje politike zelo revno, je dejal Aleksander Stubb, poročevalec o lobistih v EU.
The author of the report - Finnish MEP Alexander Stubb (EPP-ED) - praised lobbyists saying "policy making would be very poor without their contribution".
Po ocenah je v Bruslju najmanj 15.000 lobistov in 2500 lobističnih organizacij.
The full parliament will vote on the report on 8 May.
Poročevalec poročila Alexander Stubb (EPP-ED ) meni, da je odobritev poročila velik korak naprej.
This focus looks at the issues raised by the Stubb report.
V nadaljevanju lahko izveste več o lobiranju v Bruslju in zlasti v Evropskem parlamentu.
To find out more about lobbying in Brussels and the European Parliament in particular, read our series of articles below including an interview with the Mr Stubb from last November and key elements of the report and reactions to it in the last section.
Zato je Evropska komisija v preteklem letu sprožila pobudo o preglednosti, ki obravnava vpliv lobističnih skupin na procese odločanja v Bruslju.
The European Parliament has at present 4570 accredited lobbyists.
Poročilo o lobiranju pripravlja tudi Evropski parlament, v ponedeljek 8. oktobra pa na to temo prireja še seminar.
Many of the lobbyists are NGOs and pressure groups such as amnesty international.
O vprašanju lobiranja bodo v ponedeljek, 8. oktobra od 15.00 do 18.00 ure na seminarju v Odboru za ustavne zadeve razpravljali evropski poslanci, lobisti, evropski komisar za administrativna vprašanja Sliim Kallas, akademiki in tisti, ki zahtevajo večji nadzor nad lobiranjem.
Trade associations, regions, cities and companies (for example British Airways) constitute the rest.
Zaključke seminarja bodo upoštevali pri pripravi poročila Evropskega parlamenta o lobiranju, ki naj bi ga predvidoma predstavili v začetku prihodnjega leta.
The debate this afternoon from 3pm CET comes ahead of a report that Finnish MEP Alex Stubb (centre right EPP-ED) is preparing on how the EU institutions should deal with lobbyists.
Vpliv lobistov
No gifts allowed!
Vpliv lobističnih organizacij na evropske ustanove je bil zmeraj velik, lobistične dejavnosti velikih podjetij so bile denimo na stari celini ena glavnih gonilnih sil pri projektu vzpostavitve enotnega evropskega trga v poznih 80. letih.
At present the Parliament's own Code of Conduct says that lobbyists must clearly state who they represent when dealing with MEPs and staff and refrain from offering any gifts.
V imenu konkurenčnosti gospodarstva danes združenja podjetij lobirajo proti Kjotskemu protokolu, delavskim pravicam in varstvu potrošnikov.
Early in 2007 the European Commission decided to set up a voluntary register where lobbyists declare who they are and how they are funded.
Enega največjih lobističnih pritiskov v zgodovini je izzvala priprava direktive REACH, ki uvaja nadzor nad uporabo kemikalij v industriji.
In a Green paper that proceeded the list the Commission said it saw lobbyists as an important part of the democratic process.
Komisiji ja pri pripravi predloga direktive prejela od predstavnikov industrije več tisoč predlogov in popravkov.
However, it warned that "it must be clear to the general public what input they provide".
Ali je lobiranje legitimno?
They are hopeful the list will be available from early next year.
Siim Kallas, evropski komisar in podpredsednik Evropske komisije, meni, da je lobiranje popolnoma legitimno, hkrati pa poudarja, da je treba pri tem pojavu, ki je v porastu, razjasniti in opredeliti, koga lobisti zastopajo, kaj je njihovo poslanstvo in kako se financirajo.
Part of the problem is that there are no reliable figures on the number of lobbyists who work in Brussels.
Kako zagotoviti preglednost v odnosih med institucijami EU in lobisti?
Estimates vary from between 15,000 to 20,000 people who are employed in that way.
Mnogi menijo, da lobistične organizacije uporabljajo nedemokratične metode delovanja, da bi vplivale na evropsko zakonodajo.
As a comparison, in 2005 a survey for the "Washington Post" concluded that over 34,000 lobbyists were registered in the US capital.
Tako denimo širijo napačne informacije glede morebitnih gospodarskih, družbenih ali okoljskih vplivov zakonodajnih predlogov.
The European Commissioner for Administrative Affairs Siim Kallas estimates there are 2,600 interest groups established in Brussels.
Nekateri se pritožujejo, da imajo lobisti precejšen vpliv na odločanje v Evropski uniji in da je njihova transparentnost premajhna v primerjavi z njihovim vplivom.
Face to face meetings with MEPs and Commission officials are just two ways that lobbyists operate.
Prav tako obstaja tudi nevarnost, da se bodo v prihodnosti razvile še močnejše strategije lobiranja, ki bodo verjetno vključevale še več manipulacij in dezinformacij.
They also send letters, emails and make phone calls to people in an effort to make them aware of their concerns.
Komisija predlaga uvedbo elektronske registracije lobistov, s čimer naj bi omejili nekatere njihove privilegije, predvsem pa poslovne skrivnosti.
In December MEPs on the Constitutional Affairs Committee will adopt a report based on their findings - the full Plenary of Members will vote on it in January next year.
Koliko lobistov je trenutno v Bruslju?
Shedding (more) light on Brussels lobbies
Trenutno je v Evropskem parlamentu akreditiranih 4570 lobistov.
Should lobbyists register be mandatory?
To je tudi edino zanesljivo število, ko gre za lobiste v Bruslju.
Should there be a register for lobbyists in the EU?
Lobisti, akreditirani pri Evropskem parlamentu Poslovnik: Lobiranje v Parlamentu Pobuda za preglednost v Evropi Odbor za ustavne zadeve
These were the big issues during a workshop on lobbying organised 8 October by the Constitutional Affairs Committee, ahead of a Parliament report on the issue.
Bodo lobisti odkrili svoje karte?
Read what MEPs and Brussels lobbyists think.
Več svetlobe v hodnike moči Ali naj Evropska unije uvede obvezni register lobistov in poklicnih zastopnikov interesov?
MEPs generally felt that lobbying was a positive force, but most workshop participants agreed that there should be register of lobbyists to prevent misconduct.
Preberite, kakšna stališča so na delavnici v odboru za ustavne zadeve zavzeli evropski poslanci, poklicni zastopniki interesov in drugi strokovnjaki.
“Lobbying, taken for itself, is something positive.
Predsedujoči odbora za ustavne zadeve, nemški socialdemokrat Jo Leinen in poročevalec na temo lobiranje, finski poslanec Alex Stubb (EPP-ED) sta na začetku prireditve poudarila, kakšen pomen ima lobiranje za parlamentarno delo.
We (MEPs) welcome everybody that can contribute something,” said Committee Chairman, German Socialist Jo Leinen.
Lobiranje je samo po sebi nekaj dobrega in vsi, ki lahko kaj pripomorejo pri ustvarjanju mnenj in sprejemanju odločitev, so dobrodošli, je menil Leinen.
“I believe that lobbying is an essential part of the parliamentary process,” said Alexander Stubb of the Finnish National Coalition, who is drafting the report on lobbying.
S tem se je strinja Stubb, ki je dodal, da so evropski poslanci vsekakor razumejo, da so lahko ponujene informacije subjektivne.
Lobbyists “provide useful information (and MEPs are) smart enough to realise that the information they get is subjective”.
Luksemburški Claude Turmes iz skupine Zelenih je potrdil, da so poslanci pogosto odvisni od nasveta lobistov, vendar pa je to hkrati ocenil kot slabost.
On the other hand Luxembourg Green Claude Turmes sees the "huge dependence on lobby advice (as) a weakness.”
Udeleženci delavnice v odboru za ustavne zadeve se niso mogli sporazumeti o tem, ali naj bi bil tak prostovoljni register z imeni lobistov in njihovimi delodajalci dostopen tudi javnosti.
Lyn Trytsman-Gray, from the Society of European Affairs Professionals, said, “We are comfortable with voluntary registration and in principle SEAP members would like to be in a position to register.”
Britanski socialdemokrat Abgeordnete Richard Corbett je menil, da prostovoljni sistem ne bo deloval, kajti prav tiste osebe, ki bi jih želeli imeti v registru, se vanj ne bodo hotele vpisati.
However, British Socialist Richard Corbett said, "A voluntary system is not going to work.
Razkritje finančnih virov?
The people that you want registering are those that don't want to.”
Komisija načrtuje, da register zajemal tudi plačnike oz. naročnike lobiranja.
He suggested that Parliament should deny access to lobbyists not on the Commission register.
S tem se niso strinjali vsi udeleženci.
The inclusion of financial data, as planned by the Commission, was hotly debated.
José Laloum, predstavnik Evropskega združenja svetovalcev na področju javnih zadev (EPACA) je dejal, da njegova organizacija sicer ne nasprotuje razkritju podatkov, če bi za vse lobiste veljala enaka pravila in pogodbene obveznosti.
José Lalloum from the European Public Affairs Consultancies Association said, “EPACA does not oppose financial disclosure if it is applied to everyone alike across the board with a clear set of criteria and if issues of commercial contractual obligations are respected.”
Vendar bi kombinacija prostovoljnega registriranja in transparentnega financiranja vodila do omejevanja konkurenčnosti pri svetovalnih firmah, je menil Laloum.
But in the case of voluntary registration, financial disclosure would distort competition between those registering and those that don’t.
Zaradi tega EPACA svojim članom ne bi mogla svetovati, da se prostovoljno vpišejo v register.
His organisation won't recommend that members sign up to a voluntary register.
Amerika za zgled?
Lessons to be learned from Washington?
Na delavnici je bil večkrat omenjen ameriški primer.
Next in our series on lobbying: An interview with rapporteur Alexander Stubb.
Ameriko je preteklo leto pretresel primer Abramoff, kjer je šlo za škandal v zvezi s podkupninami.
This article was published on 16 October.
Craig Holman iz organizacije Public Citizen je menil, da so nečedne zvijače lobista Jacka Abramoffa lahko odkrili le s pomočjo zakonov o razkritju lobiranja iz leta 1995.
Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995
Mnogi izmed več kot 200 udeležencev razprave so zelo jasno ameriško definicijo lobiranja razumeli zgledno za boljše upravljanje z zastopanjem interesov v Bruslju.
Lobbying rapporteur Stubb calls for more transparency ahead of report
Britanski socialdemokrat Richard Corbett (SPE) pa je opozoril tudi na razlike v ameriškem sistemu, kjer imajo finančni prispevki za volilne kampanje bistveno pomembnejšo vlogo, kot v Evropi.
Stubb: "MEPs have to be transparent as well" Greater transparency and stricter rules on lobbying are two of the proposals likely to be contained in a new report on lobbying being prepared by the EP's Constitutional Affairs Committee.
Jim Murray (BEUC) je na koncu dodal, da brez javnih podatkov o lobističnih poslih ne moremo vedeti, če ni morda kakšen Jack Abramoff tudi v Evropi in takšnih primerov zagotovo ne bomo mogli preprečiti, če podatki ne bodo dostopni javnosti.
Greater financial disclosure and more information about companies' clients are may also be required.
Poročevalec Alexander Stubb Lobisti bi morali igrati z odprtimi kartami, meni finski poslanec Alexander Stubb, ki pripravlja poročilo o lobiranju v EU.
Parliament's rapporteurs may be called on to put in their report all the people they have consulted.
Stubb podpira pristop Komisije, da naj bi bila registracija lobistov prostovoljna.
Ahead of the report's release we spoke to the man who will draft it - Finnish MEP Alexander Stubb (EPP-ED).
Alexander Stubb je bil 1. aprila 2008 imenovan za finskega zunanjega ministra.
Alexander Stubb was nominated Foreign Minister of Finland on Tuesday, 1 April 2008.
Za poročilo o lobiranju bo Evropski parlament zato moral določiti novega poročevalca.
This article was published on 5 November 2007.
Poslanci podprli obvezen seznam lobistov
MEPs back compulsory list of lobbyists
Evropski poslanci so glasovali tudi za razkritje finančnih virov lobistov in objavo teh informacij za javnost.
Also to be included is any "outside support" to "intergroups" formed by MEPs on a cross party basis on a single issue - for example the animal welfare intergroup.
Vprašanje, ali naj bo registracija lobističnih skupin obvezna ali prostovoljna, je bilo ena izmed glavnih točk razprav med pripravo Stubbovega poročila.
The issue of whether they should be asked to register on a voluntary or compulsory basis was one of the most controversial aspects in the drafting of the report.
Evropska komisija se je doslej namreč zavzemala za prostovoljno registracijo.
MEPs on the committee decided to vote in favour of setting up a mandatory common register for the Parliament, the Commission and the Council.
Finančna razkritja dejavnosti lobističnih skupin
There is to be an interinstitutional working group that should deliver results by end of this year.
promet poklicnih svetovalnih služb in odvetniških družb, povezanih z lobiranjem v institucijah EU, ter relativna teža njihovih glavnih strank;
Professional consultancies and law firms on the register would have to publish turnover attributable to lobbying the EU institutions.
ocena stroškov, povezanih z neposrednim lobiranjem v institucijah EU, ki so nastali zaradi notranjih lobistov in poslovnih združenj;
"In-house lobbyists" of companies and trade associations, to declare an estimate of the costs associated with direct lobbying of the institutions.
skupni proračun in razčlenitev glavnih virov financiranja nevladnih organizacij in strokovnih enot.
Think tanks and NGOs would need to indicate their major sources of funding.
Kako opredeliti lobista?
Who will it apply to?
Lobisti so lahko: poklicni lobisti, notranji lobisti družb, nevladne organizacije, strokovne enote, poslovna združenja, sindikati in organizacije delodajalcev in odvetnikov, če je njihov namen vplivati na politiko namesto na sodno prakso.
"Professional lobbyists, companies' in-house lobbyists, NGOs, think-tanks, trade associations, trade unions and employers' organisations, profit-making and non-profit organisations and lawyers when their purpose is to influence policy rather than case-law."
Preglednost kot dvosmerna cesta
Reaction from MEPs
Poročilo predlaga, da se uporabi "zakonodajno sled", to je okvirni seznam (priložen poročilom Parlamenta) zastopnikov interesov, s katerimi so bila opravljena posvetovanja med pripravo poročila in ki so nanjo odločno vplivali.
Alexander Stubb called the report "a major step forward" whilst Spanish MEP Íñigo Méndez de Vigo said the “report should clarify some of the myths around lobbying” and is fully supported by the EPP-ED group".
Odbor zahteva, da se poveča preglednost t.i. medposlanskih delovnih skupin in se jih objavi na spletni strani Evropskega parlamenta.
The report was adopted with 18 votes in favour, 1 against and 3 abstentions and was welcomed by most of the EP’s political groups.
To so skupine poslancev iz različnih političnih skupin, ki se združujejo zaradi skupnega zanimanja za določeno področje, kot so na primer varstvo živali, invalidnost, boj proti rasizmu in drugo.
Leading Liberal ALDE members such as Andrew Duff (UK) stressed the need for a mandatory rather than voluntary register.
