Odbor predlaga povečanje plačil - sredstev za izpolnitev pogodbenih obvez - za 5,23 odstotka glede na letošnji proračun in zvišanje obveznosti - vključno s sredstvi za naslednja leta - za 3,95 odstotka.
The committee's budget position implies an increase in payments (money to be spent due to contractual obligations) of 5.23% compared to this year's budget and an increase in commitments (which include money necessary for following years) of 3.95%.
Ključne spremembe
Key changes
Poslanci želijo povečati sredstva na postavkah za Palestino in mirovni proces, nadzor zunanjih meja v Sredozemlju, upravljanje begunskih tokov, programe za spodbujanje rasti (strategija EU 2020), pomoč pridelovalcem zelenjave in za razvojno pomoč Aziji in Južni Ameriki.
Key changes proposed by the Budgets Committee include increased spending on Palestine and the peace process, external border patrols in the Mediterranean, managing refugee flows, growth stimulating programmes (the "EU2020" strategy), funding for vegetable producers and development aid for Asia and South America.
Naložbe za gospodarsko rast
Investing in growth
Francesca Balzani (S&D, IT), poročevalka za največji del porabe evropskih sredstev, opozarja, da strategija EU 2020 ne sme biti žrtev trenutnih varčevalnih ukrepov, saj so naložbe v pametno, trajnostno in vključujočo rast nujne za izhod iz krize.
Parliaement's rapporteur for the lion's share of EU spending, Francesca Balzani (S&D, IT), warned that the EU2020 growth strategy should not fall victim to the current austerity climate, as investments in smart, sustainable and inclusive growth are needed to help Europe out of the crisis.
Odbor predlaga zvišanje na teh postavkah za skupno 30 milijonov evrov.
The committee followed her proposals to add approximately €30 million for this.
Skromno povečanje proračuna EP
Modest increase EP budget
Poročevalec za upravne proračune, José Manuel Fernandes (ELS, PT), predlaga še dodatno zmanjšanje proračuna Parlamenta v primerjavi s prvotnim stališčem.
Rapporteur ,on administrative budgets José Manuel Fernandes (EPP, PT), proposes further cuts to Parliament's budget, as compared to Parliament's initial position.
Povečanje bi glede na prejšnje leto znašalo 1,44 odstotka, denar pa bi bil učinkoviteje porabljen, saj bi v izdatke zajeli tudi stroške, ki jih bo Parlament imel s povečanjem števila poslancev.
This would lead to a modest increase of 1.44%, and more would be done with the extra money, as the proposal now includes accommodating 18 extra MEPs as a result of the Lisbon Treaty.

Države članice bodo morale s strežnikov na njihovem ozemlju takoj odstraniti spletne strani, ki vsebujejo ali širijo otroško pornografijo, ter si prizadevati za njihovo odstranitev tudi na strežnikih zunaj njihovega ozemlja.
It would also oblige Member States promptly to remove web sites containing child pornography or, should this prove impossible, allow Member States to block access to them under certain conditions.
Enotne minimalne kazni po vsej EU
EU-wide penalties
Predlog prinaša enotne minimalne kazni za približno 20 kaznivih dejanj, kar je veliko več, kot se običajno predvideva v evropski zakonodaji.
The text sets out minimum penalties for about 20 criminal offences - far more than are usually provided for in EU legislation.
Poslanci so se v pogajanjih zavzemali za strožje kazni po vsej EU, zlasti v primerih, kadar kaznivo dejanje izvrši družinski član, oseba, ki sobiva z otrokom, ali oseba, ki je zlorabila svoj priznani položaj zaupanja ali avtoritete.
MEPs fought for tougher penalties across the EU, especially in cases of abuse by persons in a position of trust, authority or influence over the child (e.g. family members, guardians or teachers).
Za uporabo prisile, sile ali grožnje za sodelovanje otroka v spolnih dejanjih ali pa za siljenje otroka v prostitucijo bo tako zagrožena kazen najmanj deset let zapora.
For instance, coercing a child into sexual actions or forcing a child into prostitution would be punishable by at least ten years in prison.
Proizvajanje otroške pornografije se bo kaznovalo z najmanj tremi leti, namerno dostopanje do otroške pornografije na spletu pa z enim letom zapora.
Child pornography producers would face at least three years, and viewers of child pornography on the web at least one year.
Pridobivanje otrok za spolne namene
On-line grooming
Nagovarjanje otrok po spletu za srečanja z namenom spolne zlorabe naj bi postalo kaznivo dejanje v vseh državah EU, prav tako spolni turizem za zlorabo otrok, bodisi če je dejanje storjeno na ozemlju države članice, ali če ga državljan stori v tujini, zunaj ozemlja Unije.
On-line "grooming" (befriending children via the web with the intention of sexually abusing them) would become a criminal offence across the EU, as would child sex tourism, where the offence is committed on a Member State's territory or by one of its nationals abroad.
Pomoč žrtvam
Help for victims
Zakonodajni predlog prinaša tudi nova določila o pomoči, podpori in zaščiti žrtev spolnih zlorab.
The proposal also includes new requirements on assisting, supporting and protecting victims.
Po sprejetju direktive bodo morale države članice njena določila prenesti v svojo zakonodajo najkasneje v dveh letih.
Once adopted, Member States will have two years to transpose the directive into national law.

Evropska komisija je aprila odgovorila na poziv Parlamenta in predstavila Akt o enotnem trgu, ki je akcijski načrt za vnovičen zagon doslednega izvajanja enotnega trga, ki bo leta 2012 star 20 let.
In April 2011, the European Commission answered a call from the European Parliament to table a Single Market Act, an ambitious action plan to give the single market a fresh boost on the eve of its 20th anniversary in 2012.

Izravnava pravic za ljudi, ki potrebujejo zaščito v državah EU
It outlines MEPs' position ahead of a legislative proposal, which the Commission is to table later this autumn, to revise EU rules on public procurement.
Osebe, ki bi jim ob vrnitvi v domovino grozila mučenje ali smrtna kazen, vendar pa ne izpolnjujejo pogojev za status begunca, naj bi v evropskih državah lahko dobile podobne pravice kot begunci glede zaposlitve, izobraževanja in zdravstvenega varstva.
Organised crime, especially mafia-style crime, takes advantage of globalisation, the abolition of the EU's internal borders and differences among EU Member States' laws to make substantial profits and go unpunished.
O spremembah pravil o azilu bo Parlament glasoval v četrtek, dogovor s Svetom pa je prvi korak k skupnemu evropskemu azilnemu sistemu.
This is possible because criminal organisations have created a support network in the political world and the legal economy, says the draft.
Države članice EU so se zavezale, da bodo do leta 2012 vzpostavile skupni azilni sistem do leta 2012.
EU countries have pledged to establish a Common European Asylum System by 2012.

Volitve v Tuniziji: pot v demokracijo bodo opazovali tudi evropski poslanci
MEPs cast watchful eye over Tunisia's road to democracy
Demokratična revolucija v Tuniziji je v začetku leta iz oblasti odnesla avtokrata Zina El Abidina Ben Alija, sedaj pa se v državi pripravljajo na volitve, ki se bodo zgodile 23. oktobra.
After 23 years of dictatorship, Tunisia lacks a political culture.
Opazovalce volitev bo imel na terenu tudi Evropski parlament, ki želi, da bi volitve ustavodajne skupščine v Tuniziji bile zgled drugim državam v regiji, predvsem Egiptu in Libiji.
However, around 100 political parties have been registered and about 10,000 candidates will run in the elections, almost half of them independent.
"Gre za državo, kjer se je arabska pomlad začela in kjer bodo organizirane prve demokratične volitve," poudarja poslanec in izraža upanje, da bodo tunizijske volitve zgled za regijo.
The three main political forces are expected to be: the Islamist al-Nahda Party , the left leaning Progressive Democratic Party and the centre-right Democratic Forum of Labour and Liberties .
Gospodarske težave in pomanjkanje politične kulture
Getting a fragile economy back on track
150,000 brezposelnih mladih, šibka gospodarska rast, upad števila turistov za skoraj polovico in velike razlike med severnim, bogatejšim delom države in južnim, revnejšim delom: to so gospodarski izzivi, s katerimi bi se oblasti veliko lažje soočile v okolju, kjer vlada politična stabilnost.
The revolution has caused a downturn in Tunisia's economy, partly due to the 45% decline in tourism.
Volitve bi lahko bile korak k njej, saj bi njihov uspešen potek utegnil pomiriti tuje vlagatelje in privabiti turiste.
Growth fell to 1.3% from 3.7% before the Jasmine revolution, while unemployment stands at 14%, including 150,000 highly-skilled young people, according to the Interior Minister.
Po 23 letih diktature Ben Alija Tunizijci nimajo veliko izkušenj z demokracijo, še posebej, ker ima 45 odstotkov prebivalstva manj kot 30 let in torej ne pozna nič drugega kot avtokracijo.
Another problem the new government must tackle is the huge disparities between the north and the much poorer south of the country.
Kljub temu pa je bilo v zadnjih mesecih registriranih 80 političnih strank z 10,000 kandidati.
The elections are seen as an opportunity to stabilise the country, reassure foreign investors and tourists and restart the economy.
Podpora Parlamenta demokratičnim volitvam
EU supporting democratic elections
Izvedbo volitev in štetje glasov bo nadzorovala tudi misija EU, ki jo med drugim sestavlja tudi 15 poslancev Parlamenta, vodja slednjih pa je nemški poslanec Michael Gahler (EPP).
In total, the EU is sending 130 people to observe and assist with the elections.
Kot izvoljeni poslanci želimo uporabiti naše izkušnje pri nadzoru volilnih postopkov, pojasnjuje poslanec Albertini.
MEP Michael Gahler, will lead the EU Election Observation Mission, which includes the EP Election Observation Mission.
Misija Evropskega parlamenta se bo sicer v četrtek in petek v Tunisu srečala s strokovnjaki, kandidati na volitvah in predstavniki civilne družbe, s katerimi bodo poslanci govorili o političnih in pravnih vidikih volitev.
Gahler's team will remain in Tunisia until 13 November, having arrived on 8 September.
Poslanci bodo obiskali tudi neodvisno volilno komisijo, nato pa se bodo odpravili proti voliščem, kjer bodo opazovali potek volitev.
The aim of the EP's mission is "to bring our experience as elected parliamentarians to bear in observing how the process is conducted," Mr Albertini said.
Prve ocene volitev bodo sporočili 25. oktobra ob 12. uri na tiskovni konferenci v Tunisu.
EU officials will give their preliminary observations on Tuesday 25 October at a press conference in Tunis at 1200 CET.

Dobitnik nagrade Parlamenta za novinarstvo: EU bo dobila ustavo
Internet journalism prize winner - at some point, EU constitution will come
Massimilano Nespola Italijanski bloger Massimiliano Nespola je dobitnik letošnje nagrade Evropskega parlamenta za novinarstvo.
EP internet Journalism Prize winner Massimilano Nespola Italian blogger Massimiliano Nespola has won the EP's 2011 internet Journalism Prize for his article: "We do not know when, but a European constitution will come".
Z Nespolo smo se pogovarjali o prihodnosti Evrope.
We spoke to Nespola ahead of the award ceremony.
Blogaš o Evropi, sedaj pa je bil eden izmed tvojih prispevkov tudi nagrajen.
You blog about Europe, why did you decide to write about European integration?
Nato sem pozornost preusmeril še na evropsko ustavo, širitev in sodelovanje držav EU v pravosodnih zadevah.
Afterwards I continued with studies on the European constitution, enlargement and EU legal cooperation.
Tvoj prispevek je spodbudila knjiga "Evropa 2.0.
Your article was inspired by the book "Europa 2.0 Prospects and evolution of European dream", how?
Prihodnost in razvoj evropskih sanj".
It’s a synthesis.
Gre za sintezo, ki ideje iz različnih disciplin povezuje v celoto.
The book combines ideas from different disciplines into a whole.
Ko govori o evropski integraciji, se ne osredotoča le na pravo ali sociologijo, ampak skuša stvari širše povezati.
It talks about European integration without limiting itself to one specific branch of knowledge, for example law or sociology.
Tak pristop je potreben, če želimo, da se različne discipline med seboj razumejo, ko govorijo o Evropi.
You need this kind of approach to make anthropologists, sociologists, lawyers and political scientists understand each other when discussing Europe.
Po tvojem mnenju EU za učinkovito soočanje z globalizacijo potrebuje ustavo in bolj tesno sodelovanje med svojimi članicami.
You argue for a European constitution and more Europe to effectively respond to the challenges of globalisation.
Kakšen je tvoj odgovor evroskeptikom, ki trdijo, da je evropski projekt projekt elit, o katerem ljudi ni nobeden nič vprašal?
What do you say to eurosceptics who claim the EU lacks legitimacy, having been built from the top, without consulting the people?
To je občutljivo vprašanje.
It’s a sensitive issue.
Ne moreš vedno pričakovati, da ti bodo ljudje ploskali.
You can't expect people to always be enthusiastic.
EU je še mlada, legitimnost pa potrebuje čas.
The EU is young and needs time to win legitimacy.
Zelo pomembno je tudi ustrezno poročanje medijev o evropskih zadevah.
To this end a correct reporting on European issues by journalists is very important.
Bi se označil za evropskega federalista?
Do you consider yourself a federalist ?
Da, še posebej če govoriva o pomenu subsidiarnosti.
Yes, if we speak about the importance of subsidiarity - it is fundamental to federalism.
Evropsko združevanje mora potekati korak za korakom, previdno.
European integration should progress slowly and carefully.
Ali obstaja nekaj takšnega kot končen cilj procesa evropskega združevanja?
Is there a final destination for European integration?
Lahko rečemo, da je naš cilj okrepiti legitimnost EU, in se trudimo temu približati.
We can say our destination is more legitimacy and we can make progress in this direction.
Ampak končne točke ne more biti, vsak konec je tudi nov začetek.
But we can’t have a final point, as every ending is a new beginning.
Kakšna je vloga medijev pri vzbujanju zanimanja državljanov za evropski projekt?
What is the role of the media in engaging citizens with the European project?
Evropski mediji so preveč osredotočeni na visoko politiko v Bruslju in Strasbourgu.
The European media is too focused on high-level politics in Brussels and Strasbourg.
Več pozornosti je treba nameniti temu, kaj skrbi državljane.
We need to pay more attention to the point of view of citizens and put them centre stage.
Naj ljudje svobodno povedo, kaj mislijo in želijo.
Let the people speak and say freely what they think and want.
Glas državljanov se mora bolj slišati, statistika ni dovolj.
We need more from citizens, not just statistics.
Kaj vam pomeni nagrada Evropskega parlamenta?
What does this prize mean to you?
Nov začetek pri mojem raziskovanju Evrope.
It’s a new starting point to continue research and communicating on Europe.

Kdo je prvi moški, ki predseduje odboru za pravice žensk?
Women's Rights committee's new chair "feminist to his fingertips"
Mikael Gustafsson Švedski levičar Mikael Gustafsson (GUE/NGL) je nedavno postal prvi predstavnik moškega spola na čelu odbora Parlamenta za pravice žensk, kar je še en dokaz za to, da prizadevanja za enakost spolov niso le domena žensk.
MEP Mikael Gustafsson Swedish GUE MEP Mikael Gustafsson became the first man to chair Parliament's Women's Rights Committee 3 October, a clear signal that championing gender equality is not the sole responsibility of women.
Kakor pravijo tisti, ki ga poznajo, poslanec Gustafsson načelom enakosti med spoloma sledi vedno in povsod.
Mr Gustafsson is a strong believer in equality between men and women, and "practices what he preaches," according to colleagues.
"Sem prevzet in počaščen.
Open-minded and knowledgeable
Kaj menijo kolegi?
So what topics are closest to Mr Gustafsson's heart?
Dober pogajalec
Good listener and negotiator
Vsi kolegi novega predsednika odbora za pravice žensk se strinjajo, da je dober poslušalec, predvsem pa potrpežljiv pogajalec.
The EP will be a fertile ground for Gusatafsson to flex his diplomatic skills, according to Jenny Fors, who worked with Gustafsson in the Swedish parliament.
"To je danes redko," pravi Forsova, medtem ko Malmova opozarja, da Gustafsson vsekakor ni popustljiv.
"He is a very good listener, which today is a rare gift, and is also a good leader."
"V pogajanjih zna biti do nasprotne strani kar oster," pravi.
He is in fact good at giving his opponents a tough time," said Malm.

Lamassoure: Čas je, da se začne EU financirati iz davkov
Time for radical reform on EU revenues - Lamassoure
Na dvodnevni konferenci so evropski poslanci skupaj s svojimi kolegi iz nacionalnih parlamentov ter predstavniki Evropske komisije in nevladnih organizacij razpravljali o tem, kakšne naj bi bile prednostne naloge prihodnjega finančnega okvira EU.
During the conference on the future financing of the EU, Thursday and Friday in Brussels, MEPs and MPs discussed the future of EU "own resources", spending priorities for the future and how to get maximum value from every euro spent from the EU budget with representatives from governments, NGOs and the European Commission.
Sedanji se namreč izteče leta 2013.
Opening the conference, EP President Jerzy Buzek said, "we need to be able to respond better to future crises.
"Bolje moramo biti pripravljeni na odzivanje na krize v prihodnje," je dejal predsednik Parlamenta Jerzy Buzek, ki je tudi poudaril, da sta za ustvarjanje novih delovnih mest potrebna konkurenčnost in močan notranji trg EU.
To create jobs, we need to ensure growth, competitiveness and a strong internal market.
"Za to pa potrebujemo soliden evropski proračun.
For that we need a solid EU budget....Every euro spent from the common budget lessens the burden on national budgets."
