Odbor v tesnem sodelovanju z Evropsko komisijo pripravlja forum o komunikacijskih izzivih, na katerem bi organizacijam civilne družbe omogočili, da trenutnem procesu razmišljanja prispevajo svoja stališča, ki bi jih lahko Evropska komisija upoštevala pri pripravi načrtovane posvetovalne bele knjige.
The Committee, in close cooperation with the European Commission, is organising a stakeholders' forum on the communications challenge designed to enable civil society organisations to feed their views into the reflection process currently under way and which the European Commission may also consider when drafting its expected consultative White Paper on the communications challenge.
3.4 Odbor, ki je aprila 2005 že organiziral podoben forum o trajnostnem razvoju, je pripravljen pripraviti podobne posvetovalne dogodke o najpomembnejših političnih temah, na katerih bi prisluhnil glasu organizirane civilne družbe, ki bi ga na ta način okrepili, Bruselj pa bi mu posvetil pripadajočo pozornost.
3.4 The Committee, which organised a similar stakeholders' forum to address the policy issue of sustainable development in April 2005, is ready and willing to organise similar such consultative and listening exercises on major policy issues, thus enhancing organised civil society's voice and helping "Brussels" better to listen.
3.5 V tej zvezi Odbor poudarja svoje upanje, da bo imel Evropski parlament kot prvi in najpomembnejši element tudi v prihodnje osrednjo vlogo pri demokratičnem premoščanju razlik.
3.5 In this context, the Committee emphasises the central role it hopes the European Parliament will continue to play as the first, and most vital, element in the democratic bridging exercise.
3.6 Na podlagi teh razmišljanj Odbor poudarja dva temeljna vidika.
3.6 Such considerations lead the Committee to emphasise two fundamental considerations.
Prvič: Čeprav pozdravlja pridajanje večjega poudarka komunikacijskim strategijam in orodjem, ponovno opozarja, da je vsak komunikacijski pristop učinkovit le do te mere, kot je kakovostno sporočilo, ki ga vsebuje.
First, whilst the Committee welcomes the increasing emphasis on communications strategies and communications tools, it should be recalled that any communications approach can only be as good as the content of the message it contains.
Komunikacija je sredstvo in ne cilj.
Thus, communication is a complementary mechanism and not an end in itself.
Drugič: Popolnoma podpira proces vzpostavljanja komunikacijske strategije in primernejših komunikacijskih orodij na evropski ravni, vendar je raven Unije zgolj dopolnilna in se morajo komunikacijski procesi v prvi vrsti odvijati v državah članicah.
Second, whilst the Committee is fully committed to the twin processes of establishing a European-level communication strategy and enhancing communication tools, Union-level activity must be seen as complementary to the communications processes taking place within the Member States.
Zato je strategija na evropski ravni nujno potrebna, vendar še zdaleč ne zadostna.
Thus, such a European-level strategy is vitally necessary but it is far from sufficient.
3.7 Pri tem je treba poudariti tudi vlogo predstavniških in posvetovalnih institucij na ravni držav članic – nacionalnih parlamentov in nacionalnih ekonomsko-socialnih svetov – in na regionalnih ter lokalnih ravneh.
3.7 In this context, the role of representative and consultative institutions at Member State level – national parliaments and national economic and social councils notably among them – as well as at regional and local level should be stressed.
Čas je, da začnemo uresničevati participativno demokracijo!
Start making participatory democracy a reality now!
4.1 Razlogi in argumenti, ki so privedli, da se je Odbor tako odločno opredelil za ustavno pogodbo – predvsem določbe o demokratičnem življenju Unije – ostajajo nespremenjeni.
4.1 The reasons and the logic which led the Committee to vote in favour of the Constitutional Treaty by such a large majority – particularly its provisions on the democratic life of the Union – remain the same.
Odbor je še naprej trdno prepričan, da je treba za zagotovitev demokratičnega življenja Unije tovrstne določbe trdno zasidrati v ustavni pogodbi.
The Committee continues to believe firmly that the best way to guarantee the Union's democratic life is to anchor such provisions in a fixed constitutional settlement.
Vendar pa trenutne negotove razmere vplivnih dejavnikov v Evropski uniji ne bi smeli odvrniti od izvajanja ukrepov in takojšnjega uresničevanja načel participativne demokracije.
However, the current period of uncertainty should not prevent all of the European Union's actors from taking measures as of now to start making participatory democracy a reality.
Vse institucije Unije morajo zato aktivno razmisliti o tem, kako lahko
All of the Union's institutions should therefore reflect actively on how they can:
– omogočijo državljanom in predstavniškim združenjem izražanje in izmenjevanje stališč o vseh aktivnostih Unije;
– give citizens and representative associations the opportunity to make known and publicly exchange their views in all areas of Union action;
– s predstavniškimi združenji in civilno družbo ohranijo odprt, pregleden in reden dialog;
– maintain an open, transparent and regular dialogue with representative associations and civil society;
– izvajajo obsežna posvetovanja z vpletenimi stranmi, da bi zagotovile koherentnost in transparentnost ukrepov Unije.
– carry out broad consultations with parties concerned in order to ensure that the Union's actions are coherent and transparent.
Poleg tega mora Evropska komisija upoštevati tudi anticipativno uvajanje določb člena I-47 (4) ustavne pogodbe s posvetovanjem s civilno družbo o vsebini evropskega zakona, ki opredeljuje postopke izvajanja pravice državljanske pobude (EESO bi lahko zaprosili za pripravo raziskovalnega mnenja na to temo).
In addition, the European Commission should consider anticipating the provisions of Article I-47 (4) of the Constitutional Treaty by consulting civil society on the content of the European law defining the procedures for implementing the right of citizens' initiative (the EESC could be asked to deliver an exploratory opinion on this subject).
4.2 Zato Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor odločno poudarja svojo pripravljenost, da bo s pomočjo tradicionalnih posvetovalnih mehanizmov ter predvsem kot vezni člen med Evropo in organizirano civilno družbo prevzel pomembno, čeprav dopolnilno vlogo pri razvoju civilnega dialoga.
4.2 For its part, the European Economic and Social Committee reasserts its determination to play an important, if complementary, role in enhancing civil dialogue not only through traditional consultative mechanisms but also through its bridging function between Europe and organised civil society.
Pri tem opozarja na potrebo po svežih idejah o načinih vzajemnega sodelovanja z organizirano civilno družbo.
The Committee draws attention in this context to the need for fresh thinking about ways of interacting with organised civil society.
Odbor je pripravljen in sposoben, da kot polnopravni partner deluje pri vseh dejavnostih, ki spodbujajo civilni dialog.
The Committee is ready, willing and able to act as a full partner in all activities designed to enhance civil dialogue.
Spodbuditi pozitivno javno mnenje in poskrbeti, da bo lizbonska strategija obrodila sadove!
Capture public imagination and deliver on the Lisbon Strategy!
4.3 Evropske gospodarske razmere so ključni dejavnik, ki vpliva na odnos javnosti do procesa evropske integracije.
4.3 European economic conditions are a key factor in determining public attitudes towards the European integration process.
Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor ponovno poudarja svojo podporo lizbonski strategiji in vztraja, da morajo Unija in njene države članice javno izpolnjevati svoje obveznosti.
The European Economic and Social Committee reaffirms its support for the Lisbon Strategy but insists that the Union and its member states must be seen to be delivering on their commitments.
Odbor je prepričan, da je lizbonska strategija najboljše zagotovilo za prihodnost gospodarske, družbene, okoljske in kulturne blaginje v Uniji, vendar pa v javnosti ni naletela na odziv, kot ga je bila denimo deležna kampanja za vzpostavitev enotnega trga leta 1992.
The Committee is convinced that the Lisbon Strategy is the best possible guarantee of the Union's future economic prosperity and social, environmental and cultural well-being, yet it has singularly failed to capture the public imagination in the way that, for example, the "1992" campaign to create the Single Market managed to do.
Strategijo bi bilo treba konkretizirati, njene cilje (morebiti celo naslov), pa vpeti v politično življenje držav članic.
The Strategy must be rendered less abstract and its aims (if not its title) introduced into domestic political parlance.
Vključevati bi morala tudi civilno družbo in njene organizacije .
Civil society and civil society organisations must be involved.
4.4 Evropski ekonomski-socialni odbor bo v skladu z mandatom, ki so mu ga dodelili na Evropskem svetu 22. in 23 marca, z ekonomsko-socialnimi odbori držav članic ter drugimi partnerskimi organizacijami vzpostavil interaktivno mrežo pobud civilne družbe, katere cilj bo spodbujanje in izvajanje lizbonske strategije. (doc.
4.4 For its part, the European Economic and Social Committee will continue to work under the mandate granted it by the 22-23 March European Council, "to set up with Member States' economic and social committees and other partner organisations an interactive network of civil society initiatives aimed at promoting the implementation of the strategy".

Premostiti razlike – izboljšati komunikacijo
Bridge the gap – enhance communication
4.5 Odbor neprestano poudarja potrebo po izboljšanju komunikacije med Evropsko unijo in njenimi državljani, v imenu katerih Unija deluje.
4.5 The Committee has consistently argued the need for enhanced communication between the European Union and the citizens on whose behalf it purports to work.
Odbor močno podpira medinstitucionalno sodelovanje na področju komunikacije.
The Committee favours close inter-institutional cooperation in the field of communication.
Opaža Načrt D Evropske komisije in njen namen, da v bližnji prihodnosti začne pripravljati belo knjigo.
It notes the Commission's "Plan D" and also its intention of launching a White Paper in the near future.
Pripravljen je po svojih močeh pomagati pri premoščanju razlik, o čemer priča tudi forum vpletenih strani na to temo, ki ga prireja 7. in 8. novembra.
It is fully committed to playing a supporting role wherever it can in bridging the gap, as evidenced by its 7-8 November stakeholders' forum on that theme.
4.6 Vendar pa Odbor verjame, da je uspešna komunikacija odvisna v prvi vrsti od sporočila, ki ga prenaša.
4.6 However, the Committee believes that communication can only be as good as the message it contains.
V zvezi s svojimi stališči o lizbonski strategiji je Odbor prepričan, da morajo evropske institucije in predvsem države članice razmisliti o nadaljnjih ukrepih, kako državljanom približati Evropo.
Referring back to its views on the Lisbon Strategy, it believes that the European institutions but, above all, the member states, need to reflect further on how they communicate Europe.
V zvezi z valjenjem krivde na drugega je bilo povedanega že veliko vendar ostaja dejstvo, da velja Evropa vse prepogosto za negativno oziroma državljanom odtujeno in da so bila prizadevanja, da bi jim približali pozitivne vidike integracijskega procesa nezadostna.
Much has already been said about halting the "blame game", but it is clear that "Europe" is too often perceived as negative or defensive, and that insufficient effort is made to "sell" the positive aspects of the integration process.
4.7 V kontekstu izboljšanja usklajevanja Odbor poziva k ponovni oživitvi pobude iz Wicklowa (z neuradnega srečanja ministrov za evropske zadeva) in k določitvi posebnega in trajnega mandata za ocenjevanje načinov, kako približati Evropo državljanom, ter k vzpostavitvi neuradnega okvira v državah članicah za ocenjevanje javnega mnenja in izmenjavo najboljših praks.
4.7 In the context of enhancing coordination, the Committee calls for the so-called "Wicklow initiative" (informal meetings of European affairs ministers) to be re-activated, but to be given a specific and permanent mandate to examine ways in which Europe can be better communicated and to provide member states with an informal context in which to take stock of public opinion and to exchange best practices.
Na medinstitucionalni ravni Odbor poziva k ustanovitvi skupine s podobnim mandatom, ki bi na rednih in pogostih srečanjih razpravljala o vprašanjih komuniciranja.
At the inter-institutional level, the Committee calls for the Inter-Institutional Group to be similarly mandated to meet at more regular and more frequent intervals to discuss communication issues.
Tovrstni mehanizmi so še zlasti pomembni glede na hiter tehnološki razvoj (mobilnimi telefoni, širokopasovne povezave) in razvoj novih komunikacijskih tehnologij njihove uporabe.
Such mechanisms are particularly important given the rapid rate of technological development (for example, mobile phones, broad band) and the rapid development of new communication techniques to exploit these.
4.8 Odbor poudarja pomen redne skrbi za komunikacijo, ki ne bi smela biti predmet priložnostnih kampanj o določenih vprašanjih.
4.8 The Committee underlines its belief that communication must be a permanent concern and not the subject of an occasional campaign on a specific issue.
Prepoznavanje poglavitnih odgovornosti
Recognise where the primary responsibility lies
4.9 Institucije Evropske unije se morajo zavarovati pred, četudi dobronamernim, zmotnim prepričanjem, da je mogoče trenutni “kratki stik” odpraviti na osrednji ravni v Bruslju.
4.9 The European Union's institutions must guard against a false, if clearly well-intentioned, belief that the current "disconnect" can be solved from the central level of "Brussels".
To zadeva predvsem vpliv evropske zakonodaje na njihovo življenje in delo.Države članice morajo zato svojim državljanom razložiti pomen Evropske unije in njene zakonodaje ter z njunimi vplivi seznaniti predstavnike na vsakokratnih nacionalnih ravneh.
It is down to the Member States to explain to their citizens the meaning of the EU and the necessity of specific European legislation and to communicate the resulting effects to each respective national sphere.
4.10 Javnost, vključno s civilno družbo, bo o legitimnosti in skupni prihodnosti Evropske unije prepričana šele takrat, ko bo zaznala njeno verodostojnost, zaupanje in prepoznala transparentnost zakonodajnega postopka ter dobro delujočo pravno državo.
4.10 Public opinion, including civil society, will be convinced of the legitimacy and the common future of the European Union only if there is perceived credibility, trust, a transparent legislative process and a well-functioning rule of law.
4.11 K temu lahko veliko prispevajo tudi organizacije civilne družbe, kot to ponazarja vloga Irskega nacionalnega foruma o Evropi.Bistveno je izboljšati komunikacijo na ustrezni ravni (lokalni, strokovni in drugih) in razumljivo ter jasno predstaviti zgodbo o uspehu evropske politike in njenega zakonodajnega procesaZa izvajanje te naloge so najprimernejše organizacije civilne družbe.
4.11 As the role of the Irish National Forum on Europe demonstrated, civil society organisations can sometimes make decisive contributions.
EESO jim je zato pripravljen pomagati in jih spodbujati na državnih ravneh, predvsem s pomočjo svojih članov in njihove povezovalne vloge.
It is essential to enhance communication at a relevant level (local, professional, etc.) and to explain the success stories of the European policy or legislative process in relevant and accessible terms at that level.
4.12 Pri tem se načrtno izogiba prevelikemu razpravljanju o prihodnosti ustavne pogodbe in možnostih Evropske unije.
4.12 This opinion has deliberately eschewed much discussion about the future of the Constitutional Treaty and the options open to the European Union.
Jasno je, da vrnitev k statusu quo oziroma pogodbi iz Nice ni rešitev.
Clearly, a permanent return to the status quo ante of the Nice Treaty cannot be an option.
Brez nje pa je resničen napredek težko doseči.
In the absence of such debate, it is difficult to see how genuine progress can be made.

Appendix: some specific suggestions for facilitating the debate
Za EESO
For the EESC
1.1 EESO je pripravljen s svojimi člani in njihovimi organizacijami predvsem v državah članicah resnično in proaktivno sodelovati v razpravi.
1.1 The EESC is determined to play a full and pro-active part in the debate through its members and their organisations, particularly in the Member States.
1.2 EESO bo hitro preučil sporočilo Evropske komisije o nedavno sprejetemu načrtu D in njeno zavezanost partnerstvu.
1.2 The EESC will make a rapid assessment of the European Commission's recently adopted Communication on "Plan D".
Prizadeva si za tesnejše sodelovanje z Evropsko komisijo in drugimi institucijami EU, državami članicami ter ostalimi udeleženci, ki si prizadevajo spodbuditi razpravo.
The Committee welcomes the Commission's commitment to partnership and will seek to work closely not only with the European Commission, but with the other EU institutions, the Member States and all other actors involved in encouraging debate.
1.3 Pri tem bi želel Evropsko komisijo spodbuditi, da njegove člane uporabi kot učinkovit komunikacijski vir(glej spodaj).
1.3 In this context, the Committee would encourage the European Commission better to exploit the communication resource which the EESC's members effectively represent (see below).
1.4 EESO bo proaktivno spodbudil sodelovanje v debatah in razpravah z nacionalnimi ekonomsko-socialnimi sveti in sorodnimi institucijami.
1.4 The EESC will pro-actively encourage cooperation in debate and discussion with the National Economic and Social Councils and Similar Institutions.
1.5 Člani EESO si bodo prizadevali za bolj proaktivno sodelovanje z Odborom regij na področjih, ki so v skupnem interesu.
1.5 The EESC's members should seek to cooperate more pro-actively also with the Committee of the Regions on issues of common interest.
1.6 EESO bo preučil možnosti za tesnejše sodelovanje z regionalnimi mediji in časopisi, vključno z avdioviualnimi mediji in strokovnimi publikacijami.
1.6 The EESC will explore possibilities of working more closely with the regional press and media, including the audiovisual media, and with the specialised press.
1.7 EESO si bo proaktivno prizadeval za bolj sistematično vključevanje v delo miselnih trustov, predvsem tistih s sedežem v Bruslju.
1.7 The EESC will pro-actively seek more systematic involvement in the work of think tanks, particularly those based in Brussels.
Za Evropski parlament
For the European Parliament
2.1 EESO predlaga, da Evropski parlament v vseh državah članicah oblikuje delovne skupine strokovnjakov za institucionalno komunikacijo, ki bodo vladam predlagale praktične ukrepe in vire sredstev, potrebnih za učinkovito komunikacijsko kampanjo na državni ravni.
2.1 The EESC suggests that the European Parliament set up working parties with institutional communication professionals in each Member State with a view to making practical proposals to governments regarding the measures and resources necessary to embark upon an effective communication campaign in the Member States.
EESO predlaga, da Evropski parlament v obliki zelenih knjig pripravi in jasno izrazi različne obstoječe predpostavke v zvezi s tremi ali štirimi najbolj obravnavanimi in spornimi vprašanji o prihodnosti Evropske unije, vprašanji, ki morajo voditi do posvetovanj glede procesa komunikacije in tako sprožene razprave.
The EESC suggests that the European Parliament define and clarify, in the form of green papers, the various existing hypotheses in relation to the three or four most debated and debatable questions on the future of the EU, questions that will culminate in deliberations after the process of communication and debate thus launched.
EESO je pripravljen s svojim strokovnim znanjem in stiki v državah članicah, nacionalnih ekonomsko-socialnih svetih in sorodnih institucijah sodelovati pri tovrstnih posvetovanjih.
The EESC is prepared to be involved in such deliberations and to make available its expertise in this field and to offer the support of its contacts in the Member States, national Economic and Social Councils and similar institutions.
2.2 EESO Evropskemu parlamentu priporoča, naj izkoristi pripravljenost Odbora, da nastopi kot partner pri razgovorih v državah članicah in na ravni EU.
2.2 The EESC encourages the EP fully to exploit the Committee's willingness to act as a partner in the debates in the Member States and at EU level.
2.3 Za zagotovitev doslednosti pri pobudah EESO zahteva, da je organizirana civilna družba deležna enake pomoči, kot jo prejemajo evropski, nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni organi z izvoljenimi ali drugimi predstavniki.Civilna družba ne sme ostati na stranskem tiru.
2.3 In order to ensure a degree of consistency between the initiatives, the EESC requests the European Parliament and the European Commission to ensure that initiatives by representatives of organised civil society enjoy the same support as those by elected and other representatives of European, national, regional and local bodies.
Za Evropsko komisijo
For the European Commission
3.1 EESO pozdravlja odločnost Evropske komisije, da predlaga Načrt D za diskuzijo, demokracijo in dialog.
3.1 The EESC applauds the European Commission's determination, to propose a "Plan D", for debate, democracy and dialogue.
Hitro bo preučil, ali načrt ustreza trenutnim izzivom.
It will soon look at whether a plan of this nature is equal to the current challenge.
EESO navaja sklep akcijskega načrta o boljšem seznanjanju z Evropo z dne 20. julija 2005, da naj se znatna nova sredstva namenijo predstavništvom Komisije v državah članicah.
The EESC notes the decision, within its 20 July 2005 Action Plan to improve communicating Europe, to devolve significant fresh resources to the Commission's representations in the Member States.
3.2 V tem okviru poziva predstavništva Evropske komisije, da v članih EESO prepoznajo pomemben in še neizrabljen komunikacijski vir v lokalnih, regionalnih in nacionalnih razpravah in aktivnostih, po katerem bi bilo treba poseči.
3.2 In this context, calls for the European Commission's representations to recognise that the EESC's members represent a significant and currently under-exploited communications resource that could and should be involved in local, regional and national debates.
3.3 Prav tako poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi popolno vključitev Odbora in njegovih članov v pobude, ki jih bo po obravnavi Parlamenta in predložitvi mnenja Odbora opredelil Načrt D.
3.3 Also in this context, calls for the Commission to ensure that the Committee and its members are fully involved in the initiatives which the "Plan D" will define once the European Parliament has examined it and once the Committee has delivered its opinion.
Slednji bo vključeval predvsem vse teme v zvezi z demokracijo (pri okrogli mizi o tej temi bo Odbor vsekakor zavzel osrednje mesto), z regionalnimi prireditvami, ki jih organizirajo centri Evrope Direct; in predlogi za spodbujanje sodelovanja državljanov v demokratičnem procesu.
This applies in particular to everything related to democracy (a round table on this subject could not fail to place the Committee at the heart of the debate;) the organisation of regional events by the Europe Direct centres and all the proposals for the promotion of citizens' participation in the democratic process.
