Krščanski demokrat Elmar Brok, ki je skupaj s španskim kolegom Enriquem Barónom Crespom predložil parlamentarno poročilo o osnutku ustave, se je na izide pogajanj evropskega vrha odzval pozitivno.
Elmar Brok (EPP-ED, DE) who together with Enrique Barón Crespo (PES, ES), drew up the report containing Parliament's recommendations to EU leaders, was broadly positive.
Kljub vsem kompromisov je ostalo ohranjeno bistvo osnutka pogodbe, denimo razširitev načela odločanja s kvalificirano večino, sporazumi glede zunanje in varnostne politike in uvedba pravnega subjekta in pravno obvezujoče Listine o človekovih pravicah, je še dejal Brok.
According to Brok: “In spite of all the compromises the substance of the EU draft Constitution was retained, e.g., the expansion of majority decisions, the rules on foreign and security policy, the introduction of the juridical personality and the legally binding effect of the charter of fundamental rights.”

Nemška kanclerka poročala parlamentu o zaključkih Evropskega sveta
Debate on the EU summit and Germany presidency
Vsakega predsedovanja je enkrat konec…
End of the 6 months…
Na izrednem zasedanju parlamenta je nemška kanclerka Angela Merkel, ki končuje polletno predsedovanje Svetu EU, poslancem predstavila zaključke vrha v Bruslju, kjer so se evropski voditelji sporazumeli o reformah temeljnih evropskih pogodb.
I ntroducing the debate, Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering welcomed Council President-in-Office Angela Merkel on what was her fourth appearance before the EP in six months, saying this should set an example to future Council presidencies.
Govoru kanclerke so sledili nastopi predstavnikov vseh političnih skupin, ki so pohvalili uspeh nemškega predsedstva, obenem pa tudi izrazili razočaranje zaradi rasti nacionalizmov v Evropi in zato, ker se vse države ne bodo priključile vsem reformam.
He thanked her warmly for her good will, her patience and above all her determination, without which the summit's result could not have been achieved.
Predsednik parlamenta Hans-Gert PÖTTERING se je nemški kanclerki uvodoma zahvalil, ker je že četrtič (in zadnjič) v šestih mesecih prišla pred poslance in dejal, da je s tem postavila zgled za prihodnja predsedstva Svetu EU.
Mrs Merkel , on behalf of the Council , opened the debate by telling the House that following the summit "Europe can once again look forward to a period of strength and confidence".
Še posebej pa ji je izrekel zahvalo za dobro voljo, potrpežljivost in odločnost, brez katerih se bruseljski vrh verjetno ne bi zaključil uspešno.
The summit had been a success not just for Europe but especially for the European Parliament, which had always "defended the substance" of the constitutional treaty.
Pogodba bo na nekaterih področjih korak naprej od ustave, saj govori tudi o podnebnih spremembah in energetiki ter daje več pristojnosti nacionalnim parlamentom.
She listed all the key changes, including a "European political quantum leap" on foreign policy: the High Representative will be a Commission vice-president, with a European diplomatic service.
Kanclerka je nato povzela poglavitne reforme sedanjega sistema: EU bo postala pravna oseba, manjša Komisija (leta 2014), več odločanja s kvalificirano večino v Svetu EU, sprejemanje odločitev z dvojno večino (po letu 2017).
Majority voting in Council will make it easier to tackle cross-border crime.
Uvedba funkcij predsednika Sveta EU in visokega predstavnika za zunanjo politiko pomeni večjo jasnost in doslednost nastopanja z enim glasom na mednarodnem prizorišču.
And the transfer of powers is "no longer a one-way street", since some powers may be returned to Member States.
Večjo učinkovitost naj bi prinesle tudi reforme na področju notranjih zadev in pravosodja , pri čemer je Merklova poudarila, da je treba spoštovati odločitev Velike Britanije, ki bo tudi zaradi drugačne pravne tradicije šla po svoji poti glede temeljne listine o pravicah.
Steps had been taken to bring Europe closer to its citizens and a solution had been found on the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
"Z listino bodo državljani postali močnejši v razmerju do evropskih ustanov in listina ostaja pravno zavezujoča, kar je po mojem mnenju tudi prav za Evropo, ki se zaveda svojih vrednot," je prepričana nemška kanclerka.
"We know", she said, "that the United Kingdom has its own legal traditions and we must respect this" but she was glad the other Member States had agreed to accept the charter as legally binding.
Nemška kanclerka je dodala, da je zadovoljna, ker je nemškemu predsedstvu uspelo doseči zastavljeni cilj - reformo pogodb - pri čemer je jasno, da bodo vedno obstajale izjeme ali odločitve držav, da pri nekaterih politikah (še) ne želijo sodelovati, toda to ne pomeni Evrope dveh hitrosti, ki ji Merklova nasprotuje.
The EU states were now in a position to focus on the big issues and move forward together.
"Afriški pregovor pravi: 'Če hočeš priti hitro naprej, pojdi sam - a če hočeš priti daleč, moramo iti skupaj.'
She cited an African proverb: "If you want to move fast, go alone.
Tukaj je tudi bistvo evropskega združevanja.
If you want to go further, move together".
Le s skupnim, usmerjenim delovanjem lahko namreč ohranimo tisto, kar daje veličino evropski ideji že pol stoletja: mir, svobodo in pravno varnost za vse evropske državljane."
Commission President José Manuel Barroso recalled his institution's declared "twin-track" aim, first to deliver results for citizens and second to get treaty reform under way.
Kanclerka je govor zaključila z mislijo: "Želim si, da bi lahko leta 2057 evropski državljani rekli: takrat, leta 2007, je združeni Evropi po utrujajočih, živčnih razpravah na koncu uspelo izbrati pravo pot v uspešno prihodnost.
Before the summit the EU had been divided between 18 Member States that had ratified the constitutional treaty and 9 that had not, including two that had rejected it in referendums, noted Mr Barroso.
To je namreč naša naloga, naloga za prihodnost.
Now, "all the 27 Member States are united (...) and we should be grateful for the willingness of all governments to compromise".
Nemčija si bo za to prizadevala tudi po koncu predsedovanja!"
The ratification process should be seen "as a great moment of solidarity and unity in Europe and as an historic opportunity to consolidate EU enlargement".
Predsednik Evropske komisije Jose Manuel BARROSO je spomnil, da je Komisija pred dvema letoma za izhod iz ustavne krize predlagala "dvotirni pristop" - Unija si je na eni strani prizadevala za doseganje rezultatov z učinkovitejšo uporabo obstoječih pravnih podlag, na drugi strani pa je potekal proces institucionalnih reform: "To je bil pravilen način - državljani ne smejo imeti vtisa, da govorimo samo o institucijah: osredotočiti se moramo na praktične rezultate in vlade ter državljani bodo lahko reševali dostikrat zapletena institucionalna vprašanja, če bodo institucijam zaupali, da lahko pokažejo rezultate, ko gre za probleme, ki se tičejo ljudi - rast, zaposlovanje, energetika, podnebne spremembe in varnost."
The reformed treaty "will probably not be an example of the finest poetry, but I have no doubt that it will be a very good example of excellent prose if it is concentrated precisely on the capacity to act of the European institutions".
Barroso je zaključke vrha pohvalil kot odlične, sporazum pa je izjemen rezultat, ki je plod pripravljenosti vseh vlad, da sklenejo kompromis.
Like Mrs Merkel, he listed the benefits of the new treaty, including a legal personality for the EU, 40 new areas of qualified majority voting and the fact that energy policy and climate change are now "core priorities of the Union".
Poudaril je, da se je treba zdaj posvetiti ratifikaciji in izrazil prepričanje, da bo nova pogodba Evropi omogočila boljše ter učinkovitejše delovanje.
The boost to the EU's external affairs role was welcome, as "It is only by combining the forces of our Member States and of our institutions that we can compete with other leading powers".
- pravna podlaga za učinkovitejšo energetsko politiko in ukrepe proti podnebnim spremembam;
National parliaments, too, will be more involved in the workings of the EU, as the Treaty will amend the protocol on subsidiarity and proportionality.
Na koncu je Barroso še poudaril: "Tistim, ki so za odprto, globalno Evropo pravim: takšna bo lahko le s politično integracijo, saj brez politične moči ne bo zmogla odgovarjati globalizaciji in zastopati svojih vrednot po svetu.
Welcoming the fact that the Charter of Fundamental Rights will be binding, Mr Barroso noted "We cannot promote fundamental rights all over the world and not say that we consider them binding at home", adding that "The Charter is for European citizens and the rights of the citizens against any power that could limit those rights".
Tistim, ki so za politično močno Evropo, a niso navdušeni nad ekonomsko integracijo odgovarjam, da bo Evropa politično močna le, če bo močna tudi gospodarsko.
As such, it will be a "central part of the system of checks and balances in our Union of law".
Ne moremo biti proti skupnemu trgu in drobiti nečesa, kar je eden največjih dosežkov združevanja Evrope."
He concluded by warning against "a perverse alliance between those who resist a political Europe and those who oppose the single market", adding that we cannot defend the European project by attacking the single market and trying to fragment what has been one of the greatest achievements of our integration in Europe".
Joseph DAUL (EPP-ED, FR): "Že nekaj mesecev se skozi evropski motor sprehaja tiger, za kar se imamo zahvaliti nemškemu predsedovanju, zato vse čestitke kanclerki Merklovi.
For some months, the German Presidency has been "the tiger in Europe's motor" said EPP-ED group leader Joseph Daul (FR) , paying tribute to Chancellor Merkel.
Spremenil se je način dela, spremenila se je volja, nismo več tako nezaupljivi, lahko se soočimo z globalizacijo, tudi na vrhu G8 se je Evropa pokazala enotno.
The atmosphere has changed from gloom to hope, and even optimism, in policy areas from globalisation through energy security and renewable energies to CO2 emissions and climate change.
Državljanom smo pokazali, da je Evropa sposobna uveljavljati svoj vpliv, kadar strne svoje vrste. (...)
The EPP regrets the removal of symbols from the treaty, but understands that "politics proceeds by compromise" concluded Mr Daul.
Na področju pravosodja in notranjih zadev ste dosegli velike uspehe.
For the Socialist group, Martin Schulz (DE) said the EU summit gave us "less than we needed but it did achieve a great deal" in that "many significant steps forward were made."
Veseli me, da ste dosegli uspehe tudi na manj spektakularnih, a pomembnih področjih, na primer mobilna telefonija, ribištvo...
Although this is "a good sign", Mr Schulz went on to remark that "a lot happened behind closed doors, whereas we here in the Parliament meet in public."
Glede reformne pogodbe bi opozoril na nekaj, kar obžalujem: poskušali smo doseči ponovno združenje, ki pa ni nujno uspelo, kljub temu me veseli, da je bila volja Evropskega parlamenta upoštevana pri institucionalnih spremembah in čeprav je imenovanje zunanjega ministra le simbolično, dvojna večina pa odložena, vse to hkrati pomeni Evropo - sklepanje kompromisov."
Mr Schulz added that "we have transparency in Europe, in the Commission, the Parliament, but the Council does NOT have transparency."
Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE): "Nemško predsedstvo je bilo uspešno, postavili ste merila, kanclerka je pustila velik vtis, sploh pri socialdemokratskih članih vaše vlade.
Mr Schulz stated that "some governments of the EU...didn't play the game", in particular "the Polish government...not the Polish people, and I make the distinction quite clearly", who "wanted something different."
Vrh je dosegel manj kot bi potrebovali, a tudi to je veliko.
He added that "we will not permit the EU to go down a road that it must not be forced down", and, furthermore, that "we will not permit the few to...destroy the idea of Europe."
Naredili smo veliko pomembnih korakov naprej.
Concluding, he said "in 2050 people will remember the pro-Europeans and not the [those] that tried to stop the idea of Europe."
Do tega je prišlo tudi zaradi Evropskega parlamenta, kar je dober znak. (...)
Speaking for the ALDE group , Graham Watson (UK) said that "agreement came at a price", and that "the real casualty was idealism", for "losing the symbols of our union is a pity."
Bili ste odločni, dejali ste, da se bo pokazalo, kdo hoče premik in kdo ne, kar je vaš veliki uspeh pogajanj.
On the reformed treaty, Mr Watson remarked that it "reads like the instructions for building a Japanese pagoda translated into English by a Chinese middle-man", but that "only time will tell whether the changes to the text are cosmetic, or a wholesale attack on Europe's fundamental civic and market values."
Tistim, ki v Evropo vnašajo svojo sebičnost, ponavljam stavek Adenauerja - krave, ki jo molzem, ne smem zaklati.
Mr Watson concluded by saying that "while the result is not flawless, the edifice you have built is sturdy: the roof should not leak, so long as the building blocks of progress are cemented by the mortar of determination."
To še vedno velja za EU. (...)
On behalf of the UEN group , Cristiana Muscardini (IT) said it was "thanks to the efforts of Mrs Merkel [that] we have a success."
Poljski vladi - ne pa ljudstvu, tu je razlika - sporočam: poljski parlament plemičev je lahko sprejemal le s soglasjem in je to vodilo v propad.
There were, Mrs Muscardini continued, some regrets, that "the Commission will be smaller, the charter of rights is lacking some family and child rights, the lack of reference to our roots, the lack of symbolic recognition for the EU."
Mi ne bomo tega sprejeli in Evropa ne bo propadla.
She added that "Europe shouldn't be a state, but as a union of states it does need symbols that represent and unite us."
Da bi premagali sovraštva preteklosti z evropsko integracijo, ne bomo dovolili, da bi nekateri ta sovraštva spet razpihovali."
Concluding, Mrs Muscardini said that "along with the charter of rights, we need a charter of duties."
Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK): "Zelena luč za Evropo in velika dediščina, ki jo zapuščate, so naredile vaše predsedstvo nepozabno.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit (DE) , who spoke for the Greens/EFA group, described the agreement reached as overall a "good result" but said that the "music was lousy and it was difficult to hear the melody" at times.
Pisatelj Conrad je rekel: Biti ženska je težka naloga, ker se mora ukvarjati z moškimi - in to je bilo še kako res na evropskem vrhu.
He said that citizens felt reassured that the EU was "making progress" but felt "they had been kept out of the loop".
Ko ni bilo moč več predvideti dogovora, ste ga uspeli doseči.
He described the present predicament of the Union as one of "mid-life crisis".
Evropa je spoznala, da mora ukrepati skupaj - zunanja politika, podnebne spremembe, energetska varnost.
Turning to the Charter on Fundamental Rights he said the Greens could not accept its partial inclusion "we can't say it applies here and not there".
A kompromisi imajo svojo ceno.
He said it would undermine the EU's position vis-a-vis Russia and China.
Idealizem je isti, ki smo ga izgubili, izgubili smo simbole.
Turning on those countries that had not been in favour of the original Constitutional text he warned the House that the "tyranny of a minority with a veto is undemocratic".
Pogodba zveni kot navodila za gradnjo japonske pagode, ki jo je v angleščino prevedel Kitajec. (...)
Finally he criticised former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for signing up to the Charter and then apparently moving away from it.
Politika zahteva pogum.
"British people and Polish people have rights too," he said.
Rezultat ni idealen, a vsaj začeli smo graditi.
He pledged a Green campaign for the Charter called "we want our rights".
Ko gradimo hišo od temeljev navzgor, pa ne sme puščati streha.
For his group, Francis Wurtz (GUE/NGL, FR) picked up on the pledge by EU leaders to drop their commitment to "free and fair competition".
Nacionalne voditelje je treba opozoriti, da je potrebno sodelovanje, da je treba tudi kaj dati, ne le jemati."
He said that if indeed there was nothing new on this from EU leaders then it would amount to "an undignified sleight of hand".
Cristiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, IT): "Vsekakor ste dosegli marsikaj, za kar se je zavzemal tudi parlament.
Mr Wurtz went on to say that people wanted progress and a referendum on the new text.
Čeprav nekatere stvari kot na primer opuščanje simbolov, pomenijo korak nazaj - to je nevarno početje v času velikih migracij, ko ljudje izgubljajo temelje za svoje prepričanje.
Speaking on behalf of the Independence and Democracy group, Jens-Peter Bonde (DK) saw the new voting system in Council as unfair and impenetrable.
Ostaja pa tudi tveganje, da cela vrsta državljanov ne bo imela možnosti uživati koristi in pozitivnih gospodarskih dosežkov."
He told Chancellor Merkel that "the losers will be the small and medium-sized countries" and "from 2017 you will govern the EU with Turkey".
Daniel COHN-BENDIT (Zeleni/EFA, DE): "Rezultat je dober, zelo dober.
He added "the double majority sounds easy but is difficult to use" and it "adds to the democratic deficit".
Besedilo je v redu, glasba pa je bila grozna, ni je bilo moč poslušati!
Moreover, the "consititution has another name but it has the same content", so there should be a referendum, something which 77% of Europeans were in favour of.
Obenem so bili državljani iz procesa izključeni in tega ne bodo dolgo trpeli.
Lastly, turning to a different subject, he congratulated Mrs Merkel on her work on climate change.
Ne moremo graditi Evrope, ne da bi v procesu sodelovali državljani.
Philip Claeys (BE), for the Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty group , also saw new the treaty as "a camouflaged version" of the constitution, or as "old wine in new bottles".
Če bomo tako nadaljevali, se lahko razblinijo sanje. (...)
It was also "unreadable, unintelligible" he said.
Nekaterih stvari ne moremo sprejeti.
And it was not true that the role of national parliaments had been enhanced, given the high threshold required for this to happen.
Ne moremo se izločiti iz listine o temeljnih pravicah.
He predicted that "the people's suspicions will increase" and that "this triumphalism will be short-lived".
Ko bomo šli k Putinu ali na Kitajsko, bomo rekli, da smo skupnost vrednot, dobili pa bomo odgovor - to je zadnje kar ste!
Jana Bobosikova, representing the non-attached MEPs , criticised the summit outcome, comparing the EU to Fidel Castro and the Bolsheviks.
Hočemo proces, ki bi na koncu prinesel rezultat - ali bo del EU tudi listina pravic, sicer bo to združenje neke vrste privilegirano partnerstvo.
She particularly criticised what she saw as the shift away from free markets, saying "the erosion of the freedom to do business comes close to a violation of fundamental rights".
Nacionalni toni, ki so bili prisotni tudi na vrhu, so strup."
Timothy Kirkhope (EPP-ED, UK) congratulated the Chancellor "on her very successful pursuit of the climate change agenda over the past six months", saying the British Conservative Party strongly supported this.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR): "Danes bi želel poudariti le nekaj, česar kanclerka Merkel ni: kaj se bo praktično gledano spremenilo kot rezultat sklepa sedemindvajseterice?
On the outcome of the summit, he said Prime Minister Blair "maintains that the draft reform Treaty bears little resemblance to the constitutional text that preceded it.
Da bomo na primer izključili iz EU svobodno in neovirano konkurenco.
Yet many of his fellow Heads of Government have contradicted him".
So se šli propagandistično akcijo, da bi pridobili državljane, ki to obsedenost s konkurenčnostjo vidijo kot spodkopavanje svojih pravic in slabšanje ekonomskega položaja?
Mr Kirkhope believed that "as Mr Blair promised the people of Britain a referendum in his last election manifesto" his successor, Gordon Brown, should uphold that pledge.
Ponujajo celo vrsto argumentov za odprt trg, svobodno konkurenco in nekaj tega je v sedanji pogodbi vključeno, sprejeli bomo protokol o konkurenčnosti, a nobeno pravno načelo se ne bo spremenilo.
To many British people, "the internal market and a genuinely competitive economy form a vital basis for their support for Britain’s membership of the Union".
Kljub slišanemu pod soncem ni nič novega.
He therefore asked if the Chancellor could give reassurances on that point.
Če je temu tako, potem je to dejanje, ki ni vredno naše Evropske unije, nekaj, kar pomeni korak nazaj s strani naših voditeljev."
Andrew Duff (ALDE, UK) thanked Mrs Merkel "for bringing some real politics to the European Council".
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK): "Evropa in nemško predsedstvo ste ustvarili vtis, kot da so Poljaki nesramni.
He asked her "Could you assure us that Germany will always fight to combat the version of pick-and-choose Europe that is Tony Blair’s sad legacy?", adding "My view is that it is sensible now to put into practice the closer cooperation revisions that we see inside the Treaty".
Vi ste tisti, ki boste poskušali voditi EU, ni Poljska tista, ki je zgubila ali pridobila, majhne, na primer moja država je izgubila bistveno več.
Mr Duff went on "You spoke of the African proverb which says that you go faster by yourself, but you go further with others.
Švedski in drugi strokovnjaki so izračunali, kako bolj pravičen bi bil sistem dvojnega kvadratnega korena.
Show the way forward, break out of the corral, and the more timid and conservative partners will follow."
Nica je težka, pogodba Merklove pa nemogoča. (...)
Chancellor Merkel agreed with that today.
Kar 77 odstotkov vseh Evropejcev hoče imeti referendum, le 20 odstotkov jih je proti.
Commissioner Wallström said that it was essentially the same proposal as the old Constitution, and governments across Europe have described it as 99% the same.
Prisluhnite tudi svojim nemškim državljanom, ki podpisujejo peticije za referendum!"
You and they, Mr President, are right!"
Reformna pogodba je zgolj spremenjena različica ustave, gre za isto stvar v novi obleki.
So that he can con the people of the United Kingdom out of the referendum he promised them because he knows he cannot win it."
Besedilo je nerazumljivo, neberljivo, demokratični primanjkljaj ne bo izkoreninjen, o referendumu se sploh ne govori in nobene prave demokracije ni, niso določene meje EU.
Therefore, "That is why the people of the United Kingdom still demand a referendum, and anything less would be a cheat."
Gre za tipično belgijski kompromis.
Council and Commission responses
Ob vprašanju postopka odločanja hkrati niste upoštevali dejstva, da bodo imele majhne države manj vpliva in da bo evropski vpliv prevladal nad nacionalnim (...)
Replying to the debate, Chancellor Merkel addressed the question of whether competition was an "objective" of the EU.
Škoda bi bilo, če ne bi imeli novih referendumov.
Her answer was No, it was simply "a means to an end" or "an instrument", which is why it was removed from the preamble.
Upoštevati je treba pozive iz držav članic."
However, she stressed that since it was included in a protocol to the treaty, this shows that "the instrument must be unalloyed".
Jana BOBOŠÍKOVÁ (samostojni poslanci, CZ): "Nemško predsedstvo je EU dalo pobudo, vendar to ne bo zagotovilo blagostanja, ampak režim po vzoru Castra.
On the question of weighted voting, one could argue about the details but she believed a way had been found to solve the problem - and it was a fair one too.
Rezultati kažejo, da želimo predrag in nedelujoč socialni sistem, države pa bodo še naprej sanjale boljševiške sanje o pravičnih cenah.
She also paid tribute to the European Parliament for its input, saying it was "good to feel the wind of idealism in our sails".
