Evropski parlament je od izvolitve na splošnih volitvah leta 1979 vedno skušal demokratizirati delovanje povezave, ki je kasneje postala Evropska unija, in ga narediti učinkovitejšega in preglednejšega.
Ever since the first European elections by universal suffrage in 1979, Parliament has consistently sought to democratise and make more effective and transparent the workings of what was to become the European Union.
Evropski parlament je s sprejetjem prvega osnutka Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske unije (osnutka, po poročevalcu imenovanega "Spinelli"), le začel reforme ki so si sledile naslednjih dvajset let in dobile svojo podobo v Enotnem evropskem aktu
By adopting, on 14 February 1984, the first draft Treaty establishing the European Union (known as the ‘Spinelli’ draft, after its rapporteur), Parliament initiated a reform process which was to continue for the following 20 years and lead to the drafting of the Single European Act

Parlament skuša doseči tri ločene, a povezane cilje:
Three distinct but related objectives have been pursued by Parliament to this end:
Prvič, Parlament si prizadeva za razjasnitev in, kjer je to potrebno, utrditev pristojnosti in obveznosti same Evropske unije.
First, it has sought to clarify and where necessary strengthen the competences and responsibilities of the European Union itself.
Parlament dosledno zagovarja stališče, da se morajo pristojnosti Evropski uniji dodeliti in da jih mora ta izvajati na podlagi "načela subsidiarnosti", to pomeni, da mora izpolnjevati tiste obveznosti – vendar izključno tiste obveznosti –, ki se lahko s skupnimi politikami izvajajo učinkoviteje, kot če države članice delujejo ločeno.
Parliament has consistently argued that powers should be attributed to, and exercised by, the Union on the basis of the ‘principle of subsidiarity’, i.e. it should exercise those responsibilities - but only those responsibilities - that can be carried out more effectively by common policies than by the Member States acting separately.
Drugič, Parlament zagovarja stališče, da se morajo obveznosti, ki se izvajajo na evropski ravni, izvajati učinkoviteje.
Second, it has argued that responsibilities exercised at European level should be carried out more effectively.
Še zlasti je bil kritičen do soglasnega odločanja v Svetu, pri čemer je zagovarjal stališče, da pri dogovorjenem skupnem izvajanju politike nima smisla dati vsaki od držav, ki je del Evropske unije, moč za preprečitev skupne odločitve.
Parliament was particularly critical of the practice of unanimity in the Council, arguing that, where it has been agreed to run a policy jointly, it makes no sense to give a blocking power to each of the component States of the Union.
Parlament je prav tako zagovarjal stališče, da se ob primernem spremljanju in nadzoru Komisiji da več moči za izvrševanje politik, ko so bile te enkrat sprejete.
It has also pleaded for a stronger role to be given to the Commission in carrying out policies once they have been agreed, subject to proper scrutiny and control.
Tretjič, Parlament je predstavil razloge za večji demokratični nadzor in odgovornost na evropski ravni.
Third, it has made the case for better democratic control and accountability at European level.
Tistih pristojnosti, ki so jih nacionalni parlamenti z ratifikacijo Pogodb prenesli na Unijo, ne bi smel izvajati samo Svet (tj. državni ministri).
Those responsibilities which national parliaments, in ratifying the Treaties, have transferred to the Union should not be exercised by the Council (i.e. national ministers) alone.
Izguba parlamentarnih pristojnosti na nacionalni ravni bi se morala nadomestiti z večjimi parlamentarnimi pristojnostmi na evropski ravni.
The loss of parliamentary powers at the national level should be offset by an increase in parliamentary power at European level.
Ob mešanih in očitno nezadovoljivih rezultatih Amsterdamske pogodbe in Pogodbe iz Nice glede na izziv podvojitve števila držav članic, vendar tudi z nadaljnjim poglabljanjem Unije, je bilo vedno bolj jasno, da metoda revizije pogodb, kakršna se je izvajala, ni mogla več dati pravih rešitev za razvoj Evrope.
In the light of the mixed and clearly inadequate results achieved by the Treaties of Amsterdam and Nice, when set against the challenge posed by the doubling in the number of Member States, but also that of the further deepening of the Union, it became more and more apparent that the established method of revising the Treaties was no longer able to provide genuine responses to the issues raised by the development of Europe.
Evropski parlament je to ugotovitev jasno izrazil že leta 1997 v resoluciji z dne 19. novembra (o poročilu Iniga Méndeza de Viga in Dimitrisa Tsatsosa, glej opombo 10 spodaj ), ki je zares sprožila politično razmišljanje, ki je leta 1999 na pobudo nemškega predsedstva Sveta privedlo do priprave modela Konvencije – ki je bil najprej uporabljen za redakcijo Listine o temeljnih pravicah Evropske unije.
Parliament had already reached that conclusion, and outlined it clearly, in its resolution of 19 November 1997 (based on the report by Íñigo Méndez de Vigo and Dimitris Tsatsos, see footnote 10 above ) which marked the real starting point of the political review process which was to culminate, in 1999, in the establishment, at the instigation of the German Council Presidency, of the Convention model, one first employed in connection with the drafting of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Ker so se podpisniki Pogodbe iz Nice zavedali njenih pomanjkljivosti, so ji priložili izjavo št. 23 "o prihodnosti Unije"
The signatories to the Treaty of Nice, being aware of its imperfections, in fact annexed to it a Declaration No 23 'on the future of the Union'

Mention need be made here only of the Rome ‘Assises’ involving the national parliaments (Conference of the Parliaments of the European Community, held from 27 to 30 November 1990), the interinstitutional conferences held in parallel with the IGCs on Economic and Monetary Union and Political Union, which culminated in the drafting of the Maastricht Treaty, the participation by Parliament representatives in the work of the Reflection Group prior to the Amsterdam IGC, followed by their involvement in the proceedings of the IGC itself, and, finally, their involvement as observers in the group set up to prepare the Nice IGC. , was the first to propose
Tudi način njene priprave je bil sprejet na na tem Svetu, nato določen na naslednjem srečanju v Tampereju 15. in 16.10.1999.
The method of drafting the Charter was also laid down at that European Council meeting, then clarified at the following meeting held in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999.
Uspešna izkušnja Konvencije o Listini o temeljnih pravicah je dejansko odprla pot oblikovanju podobne Konvencije za pripravo dela nove medvladne konference.
The Convention on the Charter of Fundamental Rights demonstrated that a body of this kind was able to prepare a draft text likely to secure the approval of the Heads of State or Government.

Kar prinaša nova ustavna pogodba v primerjavi z veljavnimi pogodbami in torej z veljavnim pravnim redom
How does the Constitution represent a step forward by comparison with the Treaties in force and, hence, the existing acquis ?
Predlagana nova ustava za Evropsko unijo vključuje veliko število pomembnih reform in izboljšav sedanje ustave (tj. niz pogodb, ki se prekrivajo in se trenutno uporabljajo kot dejanska ustava).
The new Constitution proposed for the European Union includes a high number of significant reforms and improvements to the current Constitution (i.e. the set of overlapping treaties that currently serve as the de facto constitution).
Kot takšna je seveda kompromis, ki je v mnogih pogledih previden.
It is, of course, a compromise that is cautious in a number of respects.
Vendar je kompromis, ki pelje Evropo naprej in ki je bil oblikovan na podlagi dolgotrajnih javnih in pluralističnih razprav v Evropski konvenciji ter ki so ga dokončno izoblikovale in potrdile izvoljene vlade vseh petindvajsetih držav članic – od katerih vsaka želi, da to postane podlaga, na kateri želijo v Evropi skupaj delati v prihodnje.
But it is a compromise that takes Europe forward, that has been elaborated after lengthy, public and pluralistic debates in the European Convention and has been finalised and approved by the elected governments of all 25 Member States - each of which wants this to be the basis on which they will work together in Europe in the future.
Ustavna pogodba za Unijo
A constitutional Treaty for the Union
Včasih se postavlja vprašanje, ali gre za ustavo ali pogodbo.
The question is sometimes raised as to whether the new document is a Constitution or a Treaty.
Treba se je izogniti neplodni razpravi o napačnem vprašanju: ni dvoma, da gre formalno za pogodbo, ki bo sprejeta in ratificirana po pravilih, ki veljajo za spreminjanje pogodb.
A sterile debate on an issue which is nothing more than a red herring must be avoided: there is no doubt that, in formal terms, the document is a treaty which will be adopted and ratified in accordance with the rules in force governing the revision of treaties.
Drugače ne more biti.
There is no other possible procedure.
Vendar ta pogodba zaradi svoje narave in vsebine vzpostavlja resnično ustavo.
However, by virtue of its nature and substance, this Treaty establishes a genuine Constitution.
Ustavna pogodba določa naravo, vrednote in načela, ki vodijo dejavnost Evropske unije (EU), opisuje pristojnosti Unije; vzpostavlja njene institucije, predstavlja postopke odločanja, natančno določa akte; opredeljuje pravice državljanov v odnosu do EU; predvideva pravila za svojo revizijo itd.
The Constitutional Treaty defines the nature of the actions which the European Union (EU) may take and the values and principles which guide those actions; it describes the Union’s competences; it lays down what institutions the EU will have, outlines its decision-making procedures, stipulates what form its acts will take; it defines citizens’ rights vis-à-vis the EU; it lays down the rules governing its own revision, etc.
To je vloga ustave: določiti pogoje in meje izvajanja oblasti v okviru političnega subjekta in jamčiti pravice državljanov.
This is the role of a constitution: laying down the conditions governing, and the limits to, the exercise of power in the context of a political entity and safeguarding citizens’ rights.
To je bilo v glavnih delih že v sedanjih pogodbah: Unija je že imela svojo Ustavo, ki jo je bilo mogoče izpeljati iz pogodb, ki so jo izoblikovale, tako kot ima svojo vsak drug politični subjekt.
To a substantial extent, the same is true of the existing Treaties: the Union already has its Constitution, deriving from the Treaties which brought it into being, just like any other political entity.
Ko jih poenostavimo, jim damo razumljivejšo strukturo in podelimo posebej slovesen značaj, naredimo pomemben korak k razjasnitvi sistema, da v očeh državljana postane bolj pregleden in razumljiv.
By simplifying those Treaties, by giving them a more readily comprehensible structure, and by conferring on them a particularly formal status, a vital step has been taken towards clarifying the system with a view to making it more transparent and comprehensible for citizens.
S tega vidika in v nasprotju s tem, česar se nekateri bojijo, dati Uniji Ustavo nikakor ne pomeni stopiti na pot graditve centralizirane "naddržave", ki bi pomenila neizogiben konec nacionalnih držav in nepopravljivo spremenila naravo Evropske unije (veliko je mednarodnih organizacij, katerih ustanovitvena pogodba se upravičeno imenuje ustava, kot so Mednarodna organizacija dela (ILO), Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija (WHO) ali manjkrat omenjena Svetovna poštna zveza (UPU)).
On that basis, and despite the fears voiced in some quarters, endowing the Union with a Constitution in no way signifies that a first step has been taken towards the creation of a centralised ‘superstate’ which would inevitably sound the death knell for national States and irrevocably change the nature of the European Union (there are many examples of international organisations whose constituent act is rightly termed a constitution, including the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the World Health Organisation (WHO), or, one which is less frequently cited, the Universal Postal Union (UPU).
Nasprotno je tako zasnovana Ustava Unije celo uradno jamstvo za države članice in državljane zoper morebitne zablode dejavnosti Skupnosti.
Indeed, the reverse is true: as it stands, the Constitution can even be said to offer the Member States and Union citizens formal safeguards against Community action going too far.
Upravičeno lahko zagovarjamo mnenje, da je treba v precejšnji meri ponovno pregledati III. del ustavne pogodbe, da veliko njenih določb v resnici ni ustavnih, da so preveč podrobne in zapletene in ne bi smele biti v pravi ustavi.
It can legitimately be argued that Part III of the Constitutional Treaty should have been substantially revised and that many of its provisions are not truly constitutional in nature, are too detailed and complex and should have no place in a genuine Constitution.
Vendar to ni bilo del naloge, ki je bila zaupana Konvenciji.
However, the remit conferred on the Convention did not cover such a task.
Poenostavitev je očitna: vse določbe so bile zbrane v enem samem vsebinsko skladnem in urejenem dokumentu in že samo branje I. in II. dela, ki združujeta bolj strogo "ustavne" vidike, daje državljanu dovolj jasen in preprost pregled nad celoto politične stvarnosti Unije in njenih pravic.
Nevertheless, the degree of simplification is immediately evident: all the provisions have been brought together in a single coherent and structured document and a mere reading of Parts I and II, those which focus on the more specifically ‘constitutional’ aspects, is enough to provide members of the public with a clear and straightforward overview of the political reality of the Union and of their rights.
Zaradi dolžine III. dela so se pojavile kritike, da je Ustava, denimo, v primerjavi z ustavo Združenih držav veliko preveč natančna in zapletena.
The length of Part III has given rise to the criticism that the Constitution is far too detailed and complex when compared to, for example, the US Constitution.
To pa zaradi tega, ker III. del, tako kot prejšnje pogodbe, za vsako področje politik podrobno določa cilje delovanja EU in ga s tem omejuje.
This is because Part III, like preceding treaties, spells out in detail, for each policy area, the objectives of EU action, thereby limiting it.
Ustanove EU na nobenem področju politik nimajo "bianko čeka", ki bi jim omogočil neomejeno delovanje.
There is no ‘blank cheque’ given to the EU institutions to act without restriction in any policy area.
En sam subjekt: Evropska unija
One single entity: the European Union
Zelo pomemben napredek pri preglednosti in razumljivosti evropske stvarnosti za državljane sta združitev različnih pogodb v en sam dokument in prehod od zelo zapletene stvarnosti z različnimi subjekti, ki se pokrivajo (Evropska unija, Evropska skupnost), k enemu samemu subjektu, Evropski uniji, ki je (enotna) pravna oseba na mednarodni ravni, kar bo povečalo učinkovitost in prepoznavnost dejavnosti Unije na tem področju.
A crucial step forward, in terms of transparency and understanding by citizens of the nature of the European project, has been taken by merging the various Treaties in a single document and by making a transition from a very complicated state of affairs, involving several overlapping entities (European Union, European Community), to a single entity, the European Union, endowed with a (single) legal personality at international level, which will increase the effectiveness and visibility of Union action at that level.
To spremlja odprava strukture treh stebrov [skupna zunanja in varnostna politika (SZVP), pravosodje in notranje zadeve (PNZ) in Skupnost], združenih v enotnem telesu Unije z enim samim ustavnim okvirom in posplošitvijo metode Skupnosti, razen tega, da so pri skupni zunanji in varnostni politiki (vključno z obrambo) predvideni posebni postopki odločanja, kot to zahteva posebna narava tega področja.
At the same time, the three-pillar structure [common foreign and security policy (CFSP), justice and home affairs (JHA) and Community] has been done away with; all three have been merged into the single corpus of the Union, with a single institutional framework and the across-the-board application of the Community method, the sole exception being the common foreign and security policy (including defence), where specific decision-making procedures remain in force, as warranted by the specific nature of that policy area.
Torej, z Ustavo imamo eno samo pogodbo, en sam subjekt: Evropsko unijo
In short, therefore, the Constitution offers us a single Treaty, and a single entity: the European Union
17 Pripomnimo, da Ustava ne zadeva pogodbe Euratom, čeprav protokol o spremembi pogodbe Euratom spreminja nekatere njene določbe, da bi se ujemale z ustavnim besedilom.
The Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC/Euratom) is not, however, affected by the Constitution and will therefore remain in force alongside it, although some of its provisions have been amended by the Protocol modifying the Euratom Treaty with a view to making them compatible with the constitutional text.
Vendar pa so Nemčija, Irska in Avstrija v izjavi št. 44 priloge sklepne listine medvladne konference (CIG) izrazile željo za čimhitrejši sklic medvladne konference za revizijo pogodbe Euratom.
However, Germany, Ireland and Austria have expressed the wish, in declaration No 44 annexed to the Final Act of the IGC, that an Intergovernmental Conference be convened as soon as possible to revise the Euratom Treaty.
Formalno morajo te protokole ratificirati tudi vse države članice in imajo enako pravno moč kot ustanovna pogodba.
As these protocols have the same legal force as the constitutional treaty, they must also be ratified by all Member States.
Jasna opredelitev vrednot, načel in ciljev Unije
A clear definition of the Union's values, principles and objectives
Ustava se značilno začne s členi, ki opredeljujejo naravo, vrednote in načela, na katerih temelji Unija, in tudi cilje, ki naj bi jih uresničevala s svojo dejavnostjo.
It is significant that the Constitution should open with articles defining the nature of the Union and the values and principles on which it is founded and the objectives which it is supposed to pursue by means of its action.
Člen, s katerim se začne Ustava, poudarja dvojno legitimnost Unije, saj odraža voljo državljanov in držav Evrope.
The very first article of the Constitution (Article I-1) enshrines the dual legitimacy of the Union, reflecting the will of the citizens and States of Europe.
Ustava zavrača ideje preteklosti in podpira opredelitev državljanov ter tako postavlja v ospredje posameznika, moške in ženske, ki imajo svoje pravice in dolžnosti ter so prek državljanstva države članice tudi državljani Unije, zaradi česar uživajo dodatne pravice, ki jih pridobijo z evropskim državljanstvom.
The Constitution places the emphasis on the individual, that is to say men and women with rights and duties who are citizens of the Union, through being citizens of a Member State, and who, by virtue of that fact, enjoy the additional set of rights afforded them by European citizenship.
V členu 1 Ustave so določena ustanovna načela procesa evropskega združevanja: države članice prenesejo na Unijo pristojnosti za doseganje skupnih ciljev.
This article sets out the founding principles of the European integration process: the Member States confer on the Union competences to attain objectives they have in common.
Na evropski ravni usklajuje Unija politike, s katerimi si države članice prizadevajo, da bi dosegle te cilje; pristojnosti, ki so prenesene nanjo, izvajajo institucije Unije.
At European level, the Union coordinates the policies by which the Member States aim to achieve these objectives, and it is the Union's institutions which exercise the competences conferred on it.
Unija se hkrati zavezuje, da bo spoštovala nacionalno identiteto držav, to je gradnik notranjepolitične strukture.
At the same time, the Union undertakes to respect the national identity of the Member States, that is to say essential elements of their internal political structure.
Unija tako dokazuje svoje spoštovanje odločitev, ki jih lahko sprejme vsaka država članica v zvezi z geografsko razdelitvijo pristojnosti – od določitve svojih meja do regionalne in lokalne avtonomije – z ohranjanjem javnega reda in z varovanjem nacionalne varnosti.
In this way the Union demonstrates its respect for the decisions which each Member State may take in relation to the geographical distribution of power - from the fixing of its frontiers to regional or local autonomy - the maintenance of public order and the safeguarding of national security.
Ustava končno določa načelo lojalnega sodelovanja med Unijo in državami članicami za doseganje skupnih ciljev.
Lastly, the Constitution lays down the principle of loyal cooperation between the Union and its Member States with a view to achieving their shared objectives.
Ustavni temelji Evropske unije morajo imeti trdno podlago: od tega so namreč odvisne vrednote, ki podkrepijo in vodijo vsa dejanja institucij Unije.
The constitutional foundations of the European Union must be firmly anchored to the values which underpin and must guide every action taken by its institutions.
Glede na drugi člen Ustave so vrednote, na katerih temelji vsa evropska zgradba, človekovo dostojanstvo, svoboda, demokracija, enakost, pravna država, človekove pravice, vključno s pravicami oseb, ki pripadajo manjšinam.
In accordance with Article 2 of the Constitution, the values on which the entire European integration process is founded are respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.
