3.4 Komisijo poziva, naj predvidi vplive določenih vidikov določb iz ustavne pogodbe na demokratično življenje Evropske unije, in verjame, da bodo ti ukrepi okrepili zaupanje evropskih državljanov in pripomogli k njeni večji demokratizaciji ter poživitvi.
3.4 Calls for the Commission to anticipate certain aspects of the Constitutional Treaty's provisions on the democratic life of the European Union, believing that these measures will not only reassure the European citizen but also further democratise and invigorate the debate.
3.5 Zato poudarja, da naj se Komisija o vsebini evropskega zakona, ki določa postopke izvajanja pravice do državljanske pobude, nemudoma posvetuje s civilno družbo.
3.5 Argues therefore that civil society could already now be consulted on the content of the European law defining the procedures for implementing the right of citizens' initiative.
3.6 Evropska komisija bi morala v vrsti komunikacijskih sporočil pojasniti določbe o participativni demokraciji, predvsem tiste, ki opredeljujejo načrtovane posvetovalne postopke in vlogo EESO.
3.6 The provisions on participatory democracy should be made the subject of a series of communications from the European Commission, defining the envisaged consultation procedures and the role of the EESC.
3.7 Odbor Evropsko komisijo poziva, da naj razmisli o zakonodajnem predlogu resnične komunikacijske politike in se sooči z »zamolčanim« dejstvom, da za to ni primerne pravne podlage, posledica česar so številni neuradni mehanizmi in neuravnoteženi pristopi.
3.7 Calls upon the European Commission to consider putting forward a legislative proposal for a true Communications Policy, and thereby to confront the "hidden" issue of the absent legal base which has resulted in so many informal mechanisms and an unbalanced approach.
Odbor meni, da bi tovrsten predlog spodbudil razpravo.
The tabling of such a proposal would, in the Committee's opinion, itself encourage debate.
3.8 Za izvajanje komunikacijske strategije, ki je v skladu s pričakovanji državljanov, je potrebno zagotoviti ustrezne finančne vire.
3.8 The provision of adequate financial resources is necessary for the implementation of a communication strategy that meets citizens' expectations.
Vsem institucijam EU
To all of the EU institutions
4.1 Evropske institucije bi morale s spodbujanjem izmenjave dobrih praks in izravnavanjem različnih prizadevanj pomagati usklajevati komunikacijske dejavnosti političnih skupin, lokalnih in regionalnih oblasti ter organizacij civilne družbe.
4.1 The European institutions should help to coordinate the communication activities of political groups, local and regional authorities and civil society organisations by encouraging the exchange of good practice in this field and the pooling of efforts.
EESO bi lahko denimo spodbujal izmenjavo najboljših praks (in znanja) na evropski ravni med organizacijami civilne družbe, ki izvajajo komunikacijske dejavnosti.
For example, the EESC could promote the exchange of good practice (and know-how) at European level between civil society organisations involved in communication activities.
Tako bi se lahko oblikoval komunikacijski kanal za odzive, ki bi na evropski ravni služili za oceno predlogov, kritik in priporočil članov javnosti med razpravami civilne družbe.
It could also establish feedback arrangements for evaluating, at European level, proposals, criticisms and recommendations put forward by members of the public during debates organised by civil society.
EESO je pripravljen pomagati tudi pri čezmejnih in multinacionalnih pobudah.
Finally, the EESC stands ready to support cross-border or multi-national initiatives.
4.2 Odbor poziva medinstitucionalni informacijski skupini treba podeliti točno določen in stalen mandat, oceniti je treba javno mnenje in najboljše prakse ter redno in pogosteje razpravljati o komunikacijskih vprašanjih.
4.2 The Committee calls for the Interinstitutional Information Group to be given a specific and permanent mandate to take stock of public opinion and examine best practices and to meet at regular and more frequent intervals to discuss communication issues.
Za države članice
For the Member States
5.1 Odbor avstrijsko in finsko predsedstvo poziva, naj ponovno začneta izvajati pobudo iz Wicklowa – neuradna srečanja ministrov za zunanje zadeve, ki bi razpravljali o komunikacijskih vprašanjih in njihovih izzivih.
5.1 The Committee calls upon the Austrian and Finnish Presidencies to recommence the so-called "Wicklow initiative" of informal meetings of the ministers of European Affairs to discuss communications issues and challenges.
5.3 EESO poziva države članice, da naj vzpostavijo sistem najboljših praks in primerjalnega primerjanja, morda prav v okviru omenjene skupine.
5.3 The EESC calls upon the Member States to institute a system of best practices and bench marking, perhaps via the "Wicklow Group".
5.4 Odbor poziva države članice, da naj prepoznajo, da je načelo participativne demokracije treba uporabiti v ključnih strategijah EU za spodbujanje rasti, zaposlenosti in trajnostnega razvoja.
5.4 The Committee calls upon the Member States to recognise that the principle of participatory democracy should be applied to the EU's key strategies for promoting growth, employment and sustainable development.
Za nacionalne ekonomsko-socialne svete in podobne institucije
For national Economic and Social Councils and Similar Institutions
6.1 Nacionalne in evropske institucije morajo logistično podpreti pobude.
6.1 National and European institutions must provide logistical support for these initiatives.

STALIŠČA IN PRIPOROČILA REGIJ
VIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS
Odbor regij:
The Committee of the Regions:
1 . meni, da so za zagotovitev miru, svobode in blaginje potrebni politično močna in demokratična Evropska unija, odločno vodenje Evrope ter tesno sodelovanje med institucijami za ponovni zagon evropskega projekta;
1. believes that, in order to safeguard peace, freedom and prosperity, a politically strong and democratic European Union, strong European leadership and strong interinstitutional cooperation to relaunch the European project are needed;
2. izraza zaskrbljenost, da bi predolgo obdobje za razmislek škodovalo podobi EU in poziva vse institucije, da si prizadevajo za ponovno aktiviranje in zagon globljega pomena evropskega ideala in projekta;
2. expresses concern that too long a period of reflection would damage the EU's public image, and urges all institutions to work to reclaim and relaunch the core European ideal and project;
3. vendar verjame, da je obdobje za razmislek koristno uporabiti za presojo stališča javnosti v državah članicah do Evropske unije in za krepitev bistvenih ciljev, vrednot in načel EU, kot so solidarnost, učinkovitost, transparentnost in sodelovanje, ki temeljijo na podpori državljanov Evrope;
3. considers it advisable to use this period for reflection to examine what the public in the Member States thinks about the European Union and to consolidate the fundamental aims, values and principles of the EU, such as solidarity, effectiveness, transparency and cooperation, based on the support of its citizens;
4. v tem okviru opozarja na velik pomen temeljnih pravic, ki so utemeljene v listini, vključeni v Pogodbo o Ustavi za Evropo;
4. reiterates the importance of the fundamental rights of the Union as enshrined in the charter included in the Constitutional Treaty;
5. meni, da mora Evropska unija pokazati, da resno jemlje izid francoskega in nizozemskega referenduma, ter ocenjuje, da bi nadaljevanje procesa ratifikacije ustavne pogodbe po dosedanjem načrtu in brez razmisleka na evropski ravni pri državljanih Evrope povzročilo negativen odziv in spodbudilo k nadaljnjim zavrnitvam v državah članicah;
5. believes that the European Union must take the results of the French and Dutch referenda seriously and must be seen to do so; considers that to proceed with the ratification process of the Constitutional Treaty without altering the original schedule and without serious reflection at European level would send a negative message to Europe's citizens and might engender further rejections in Member States;
7. ponovno poudarja velik pomen napredkov ustavne pogodbe, ki zagotavljajo boljšo evropsko upravljanje, zahvaljujoč predlogom za občutno boljši način delovanja, večjo poenostavitev in preglednost v primerjavi z obstoječimi pogodbami EU;
7. reaffirms its commitment to the Constitutional Treaty and its advances which guarantee better European governance through its considerable improvement in the functioning, simplicity and transparency of the EU compared to the existing treaties;
8. meni, da bi morale institucije EU razširjeno razpravo o prihodnosti Evropske unije osredotočiti na dejanske in možne prednosti, ki jih državljanom prinašata evropska pripadnost in državljanstvo;
8. considers that in broadening out the debate on the future of the European Union its institutions should focus on the actual and potential practical benefits that membership and citizenship bring to its citizens;
9. za obnovitev zaupanja državljanov Evrope v evropski projekt poziva institucije EU, da
9. in order to rebuild the trust of European citizens in the European project, calls on the EU institutions to:
• sprejmejo se potrebne odločitve na področjih, na katerih lahko Unija državljanom Evrope prinese resnično dodano vrednost;
• take decisions which are pending in those areas where the Union brings real added value to Europe's citizens;
• pričnejo delovati na bolj decentraliziran način in pri tem spoštujejo ter spodbujajo necelo subsidiarnosti, ki ga je treba uporabljati tudi na poddržavni ravni;
• begin functioning in a much more decentralised manner, respecting and promoting the subsidiarity principle, which should be applied also on subnational levels;
• aktivno pokažejo, da politična Unija ne bo ogrožala jezikovne in kulturne raznolikosti;
• pro-actively demonstrate that a political union will not undermine Europe's cultural and linguistic diversity;
• pokažejo, da Evropa svojim državljankam in državljanom nudi priložnost za razvoj njihovih osebnih in poklicnih izkušenj na evropski ravni;
• show that Europe will provide its citizens with opportunities to develop their personal and professional experience at a European level;
• oblikujejo stalen dvostranski dialog z državljani Evrope;
• establish a permanent two-way dialogue with Europe's citizens;
• razvijejo kulturo večje preglednosti, posebej s povečanjem dostopnosti delovanja Sveta, da bodo državljani bolje razumeli proces odločanja v EU;
• develop a culture of enhanced transparency, especially by making the workings of the Council more accessible, to enable citizens to better understand the EU decision-making process;
10. zahteva, da institucije se naprej delujejo v smeri spodbujanja načela subsidiarnosti na vseh področjih in ob tem izkoriščajo prednosti, ki jih večja bližina regionalnih in lokalnih institucij ponuja državljanom;
10. calls for the continuation of activities promoting the principle of subsidiarity in all areas and drawing on the advantages that the greater proximity of regional and local institutions can offer to citizens;
12. predlaga politikom na nacionalni, lokalni in regionalni ravni, da prevzamejo odgovornost za svoja lastna dejanja na področjih, ki spadajo v njihovo pristojnost, in opustijo razširjeno navado iskanja grešnega kozla v »Bruslju«; poudarja, da je lahko Evropska unija uspešna le, če si bodo politiki na evropski, nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni ravni odgovorno razdelili naloge in priznali, da je spoštovanje institucij EU, kot prvi pogoj za dobro javno upravljanje, nujno potrebno za dosego ciljev;
12. calls on politicians at Member State, regional and local levels to take the responsibility for their own actions in the areas falling in their responsibility and to refrain from the common habit of using "Brussels" as scapegoat; underlines that the European Union can only succeed if politicians at European, national, regional and local level divide duties responsibly and acknowledge that institutional respect is essential for success, as a prerequisite for good governance;
b) Struktura razprave
(b) Structure of the debate
13. meni, da morajo institucije EU nujno vzpostaviti razpravo z državljani in skupnostmi, ki jih predstavljajo, in pri tem odražati odprt pristop, ki ga je za osnutek ustavne pogodbe uporabila konvencija, pri kateri so sodelovali predstavniki nacionalnih parlamentov, političnih strank, lokalnih in regionalnih vlad, civilne družbe ter socialni partnerji.
13. believes that it is necessary for the EU institutions to engage in debate with the people and communities that they represent, reflecting the open approach taken to the drafting of the Treaty through a Convention that involved representatives of national parliaments, political parties, local and regional government, civil society as well as social partners.
Ta razprava mora državljanom ponazoriti politično, gospodarsko in socialno dodano vrednost Evropske unije;
In this debate, it is essential to make clear to the public the added political, economic and social value of a European Union;
14. je prepričan, da mora kot institucionalni predstavnik lokalnih in regionalnih skupnosti v Evropski uniji igrati ključno vlogo pri političnih in institucionalnih pobudah med obdobjem za razmislek, ki so ga napovedali predsedniki držav in vlad Evropske unije.
14. considers that in its capacity as institutional representative of local and regional government in the European Union, it has to play an active role in political and institutional initiatives during the period of reflection announced by the heads of state and government; to this end, proposes a roadmap
Zato v dodatku predlaga konkreten potek dejavnosti za vzpostavitev resnične decentralizirane razprave;
Appendix with a view to establishing a truly decentralised debate;
15. poziva lokalne in regionalne oblasti k obveščanju svojih skupnosti o temah, ki jih zadevajo v okviru razprave o prihodnosti Evropske unije, in k boljši razlagi postopkov ter praktičnih dosežkov evropske integracije s pomočjo decentralizirane informacijske politike na regionalni in lokalni ravni, saj verjame, da razprava le na evropski ravni ne bo dosegla splošne javnosti, zato so potrebne strukturirane razprave z nadnacionalnimi elementi na nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni ravni, in sicer z udeležbo njegovih članov in podporo institucij EU;
15. calls on local and regional government to engage and inform their communities on the issues that affect them in the debate on the future of the European Union and to better explain the processes and practical achievements of European integration through a decentralised regional and local based information policy, believing that a debate conducted solely at the European level will fail to reach out to the general public, therefore necessitating structured debates with transnational elements led nationally, regionally and locally, involving its members and supported by the EU institutions;
16. poleg tega poudarja značilnost pristopa "od spodaj navzgor", ki ga uporablja, in si prek svojih članov prizadeva za razumevanje stališč regionalnih in lokalnih oblasti v zvezi s politikami in institucijami Skupnosti ter jih posredovati evropskim institucijam s pomočjo političnih analiz in inovativnih predlogov;
16. moreover, reaffirms the bottom-up approach, that is its hallmark, and commits itself , with the help of its members, to seek out and take on board the requests of regional and local authorities on Community policies and institutions, and to forward their input, not least in terms of political analysis and innovative proposals, to the European institutions;
17. opozarja, da dialog z državljani ne sme biti omejen na med sabo nepovezane kampanje in osredotočen na podrobnosti delovanja institucij, zato Uniji predlaga, da usmeri svoja prizadevanja na seznanjanje z informacijami, ki imajo za državljane neposredno korist in ki jim omogočajo, da izkoristijo prednosti, ki jim jih ponuja EU;
17. recommends that dialogue with citizens should not be limited to one-off campaigns and should not focus on details of institutional workings; urges therefore the Union to focus on communicating information which is of direct practical benefit to citizens and which allows them to take advantage of EU opportunities available to them;
18. spodbuja institucije EU, države članice ter regionalne in lokalne oblasti, da oblikujejo nove in ustvarjalne načine vzajemnega sodelovanja z državljani v njihovem življenjskem prostoru in pri razpravi uporabljajo sodobne elektronske medije (kot na primer »Evropa posluša« v Avstriji in »Nacionalni forum o Evropi« na Irskem) ter zagotavljajo, da bodo informacije dostopne v maternih jezikih državljanov in ne le v izbranih jezikih EU.
18. calls on the European institutions, Member States and the regional and local authorities to establish new and creative ways of interacting with citizens at grassroots, using for the debate modern electronic media (e.g.
Poleg tega so institucije in države članice v določeni meri odgovorne, da se odzovejo na netočne trditve o Evropski uniji, ki so državljanom predstavljene predvsem v medijih;
"Europe listens" in Austria and "National forum on Europe" in Ireland), and to ensure that the message is accessible in the native language of the citizen, and not only in selected EU languages; furthermore there is some responsibility on the institutions and Member States to counter factually incorrect statements about the European Union that citizens may be presented with, especially in the media;
19. poudarja temeljno vlogo lokalnih in regionalnih medijev, se posebej lokalnega tiska, v tem okviru, saj znajo komunicirati z državljani na preprost način in v njihovem lokalnem jeziku;
19. recognises the vital role of the local and regional media, and in particular the local press, in this context, not least because they can communicate to citizens in lay terms and in their local language;
c) Teme za razmislek
(c) Subjects for reflection
Splošen okvir
General scope
20. meni, da določbe ustavne pogodbe o teritorialni razsežnosti Unije ter udeležbi lokalnih in regionalnih oblasti, tako prek OR na institucionalni ravni kot tudi bolj splošno, predstavljajo pomemben in pozitiven dosežek;
20. considers that the provisions of the Constitutional Treaty relating to the Union’s territorial dimension and the involvement of local and regional authorities, both institutionally through the CoR and more generally, constitute an important and positive development;
21. poziva institucije EU, da pomagajo razviti pravo »subsidiarno kulturo« v Uniji, državah članicah ter regionalnih in lokalnih oblasteh ter da nemudoma začnejo uporabljati načeli subsidiarnosti in sorazmernosti, predvideni v ustavni pogodbi.
21. calls upon the EU institutions to help to develop a real "subsidiarity culture" within the Union, its Member States, and its regional and local authorities, and to apply without delay the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality provided for in the Constitutional Treaty as a simple and effective way to demonstrate to citizens that the Union will act only where the added value is clear and in respect for its principle of better lawmaking;
24. se posebej pozdravlja spodaj navedene točke pogodbe glede dobrega javnega upravljanja in zeli zagotovilo, da se bodo med obdobjem za razmislek v polnem obsegu upoštevale in izvajale:
24. has in particular welcomed the following points in the Treaty as articles of good governance and wishes to ensure that their safeguard and implementation are fully considered during the period of reflection:
• priznavanje vloge lokalnih in regionalnih skupnosti pri upravljanju EU;
• recognition of the role of local and regional authorities in EU governance;
• boljša posvetovanja pred objavo zakonodajnih predlogov;
• better consultation prior to publication of legislative proposals;
• upoštevanje finančnih in upravnih obremenitev lokalnih in regionalnih skupnosti;
• account to be taken of the financial and administrative burden falling on local or regional authorities;
• širša opredelitev subsidiarnosti, ki vključuje tudi lokalne in regionalne oblasti;
• a broader definition of subsidiarity to incorporate local and regional government;
• priznavanje kulturne in jezikovne raznolikosti kot bogatega vira, ki ga je treba ohraniti skupaj s temeljnim načelom sodelovanja in integracije;
• recognition of the cultural and linguistic diversity as a source of wealth to be preserved, alongside the fundamental principle of cooperation and integration;
• okrepitev vloge Odbora regij, se posebej z uvedbo pravice do pritožbe na Evropsko sodišče v primeru neupoštevanja njegovih pravic ali kršenja načela subsidiarnosti;
• enhancement of the role of the Committee of the Regions, in particular introduction of the right of recourse to the European Court of Justice in respect of its own prerogatives or breaches of subsidiarity;
• sklicevanje na predstavniška združenja (na primer na lokalni in regionalni ravni);
• reference to representative associations (e.g. of local or regional government);
Aktualne teme za razpravo
Topical issues for the debate
25. pripisuje velik pomen primernemu obsegu virov Evropske unije, da bo lahko izpolnila naloge, ki so ji bile dodeljene, ter ponovno izreka podporo predlogom Evropske komisije za finančno perspektivo 2007-2013;
25. considers that it is vitally important that the EU has the appropriate level of resources to undertake the tasks assigned to it; recalls its support for the European Commission proposals for the financial perspective during 2007-13;
26. meni, da je sedaj primeren trenutek za razmislek o osnovah dolgoročnega financiranja proračuna EU in krepitev demokratičnega nadzora proračuna prek Evropskega parlamenta;
26. considers that now is the appropriate time to start reflecting on the basis for funding the EU budget in the long term, and to reinforce democratic control of the budget through the European Parliament;
27. države članice spominja na to, da je kohezijska politika področje, na katerem EU že dolgo dokazuje svojo resnično dodano vrednost, katerega prepoznavnost državljanom omogoča, da v vsakodnevnem življenju opažajo konkretno in pozitivno dejavnost EU in ki predstavlja temelj evropske solidarnosti, zaradi cesar se evropski socialni model razlikuje od drugih oblik nadnacionalnega povezovanja;
27. reminds Member States that cohesion policy is an area where the EU has long demonstrated its real added value, whose visibility enables citizens to appreciate daily the EU’s practical and positive work, and which represents the basis of European solidarity and thus distinguishes the European social model from other examples of transnational integration;
