Buzek v Rusiji in na Kitajskem tudi o človekovih pravicah
Buzek briefs Human Rights Subcommittee on visits to Russia & China
Predsednik Parlamenta Jerzy Buzek se na Kitajskem in v Rusiji ni bal odpreti žgočih vprašanj v zvezi s spoštovanjem človekovih pravic.
President Jerzy Buzek briefs MEPs on the Human Rights Subcommittee, 24 June in Brussels Russia - Buzek wants deeper strategic relationship between EU and Russia China: Can work together on climate change, financial crisis Human rights and relations with Moscow and Beijing were in the spotlight when EP President Buzek discussed his recent visits to China and Russia with MEPs on 24 June.
Spodbujanje civilne družbe nujno za modernizacijo države "Ne smemo preveč pritiskati, njihova odločitev je, če želijo dobre odnose z EU."
As the first holder of the post to visit the Kremlin in over a decade, he described his talks with President Medvedev as "open minded".
Poslancem je razložil, da se je v svojih pogovorih z ruskimi in kitajskimi voditelji dotaknil tudi spoštovanja človekovih pravic.
Briefing MEPs on his recent talks with President Dimitri Medvedev he said that there had been some improvements in the human rights situation.
Tukaj Buzek stavi na evropsko diplomacijo v nastajanju, saj bo z njeno pomočjo uveljavljanje politike EU na področju človekovih pravic v svetu lažje.
In particular he cited trial by Jury in all cases and a moratorium on capital punishment.
Predsednica pododbora Heidi Hutala (Zeleni, FI) je bila zadovoljna z dejstvom, da človekove pravice ob predsednikovih obiskih na tujem niso ostale ob strani, menila pa je tudi, da bi morale prakso ukvarjanja s človekovimi pravicami na tujem prevzeti tudi druge institucije.
Mr Buzek told Members that "we have been assured - repeatedly - that this moratorium will be prolonged".
Konflikt z Belorusijo, težave na južnem Kavkazu, ozemeljska celovitost Gruzije - vsa ta vprašanja so bila na dnevnem redu, je dejal Buzek.
He also brought up the freedom of the press, corruption and the "abhorrent murders of journalists".
Predsednik Parlamenta je s svojimi gostitelji načel tudi žgoče teme, kot so umori novinarjev v Rusiji, pri čemer je poudaril, da je neodvisno sodstvo zelo pomembno tako za posameznike kot podjetja.
There was an "open-minded atmosphere on both sides, the President sent me a clear message that Russia plans to change many issues of particular concern to us in Europe" according to Buzek.
Buzek se sicer ni mogel izogniti energetskim vprašanjem.
"Oil and gas will run out, and policies must change - Russians understand this.
"Nafte in plina bo zmanjkalo - Rusi to vedo.
We are at the beginning of our deep relations to respond to global threats" he said.
Smo na začetku poglabljanja naših odnosov, da bi se tako lažje soočili s svetovnimi izzivi," je dejal Buzek.
He called for a deeper relationship with Moscow: "Russia should be a part of our system, based on good governance, democracy and the rule of law".
Kultura dialoga na Kitajskem
China: "an opening on our side"
Zadovoljen je bil Buzek tudi s svojim obiskom na Kitajskem, kjer se je srečal s tamkajšnjim predsednikom vlade Wen Jiabajem.
Referring to his discussions in Beijing in with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in May, Mr Buzek said: "I told him we appreciate the fact that he keeps an open mind and listens to the European approach".
"S Kitajci smo zavezani k dialogu, kar pa ne pomeni, da puščamo človekove pravice ob strani," je dejal Buzek in poslancem zagotovil, da je načel vprašanji grobih kršitev človekovih pravic in neodvisnega sodstva.
He said he had brought up examples of drastic human rights violations and the need for an independent judiciary.
Tudi na Kitajskem se je Buzek srečal s predstavniki civilne družbe, nevladnimi organizacijami in odvetniki, na univerzi v Nanjingu pa je govoril o prostem dostopu do spleta.
He told MEPs he had stressed the importance of civil society during his meetings with NGOs and lawyers and he also visited Nanjing University to talk about free access to the internet.
"Ceniti znam korake v pravo smer, pa naj bodo še tako majhni," je članom odbora dejal Buzek.
We are committed to dialogue, which doesn't mean we're giving up on human rights".
Litvanska poslanca Laima Liucija Andrikienė and Vytautas Landsbergis , oba iz politične skupine EPP, sta ob tem načela vprašanje Tibeta.
The Vice-chairs of the Subcommittee, Laima Andrikienė and Vytautas Landsbergis (of the centre right European People's Party) raised the issue of Tibet.
"Ozemeljska celovitost je zelo pomembna za svetovno stabilnost, vendar ne smemo pozabiti na pravice manjšin," se je odzval Buzek.
"Territorial integrity is very important to global stability", Buzek replied, adding "but we cannot give up on rights of minorities".
Vzajemno spoštovanje pogoj dialoga
China and Russia: Europe's strategic partners
"Kitajska in Rusija sta neodvisni državi.
He went on to say: "China and Russia are independent states.
Nas skrbi za demokracijo, pravno državo in človekove pravice.
Our problems are centred on democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
Ampak če želimo obdržati odnose, je potrebno medsebojno spoštovanje.
But if we want to keep relations, mutual respect is necessary.

Novi spletni mediji dosežejo več ljudi, vseeno pa previdnost ni odveč
Culture MEPs call on EU for more European online conversation
Poslanci so podprli tudi predlog o ustanovitvi posebne skupine specializiranih novinarjev za poročanje o EU.
The attraction is that these new forms of "social media" allow a great deal of interaction between electors and elected.
Vse več ljudi namesto televiziji in časopisom čas raje namenja spletu, blogom in socialnim medijem.
The report cites the Parliament as being one of the forerunners of the use of social media (interactive web tools and applications like Facebook, twitter and MySpace) by an international institution.
Člani odbora Evropskega parlamenta za kulturo so se strinjali, da bi lahko ti novi mediji pomembno prispevali k razširjanju novic o dogajanju v Evropski uniji in razpravi o njih.
MEPs on the Culture Committee have already backed the non-legislative report - with 185 amendments - by Danish Liberal and former journalist Morten Løkkegaard on 23 June.
Kot uspešen primer so pri tem poslanci izpostavili kampanjo Parlamenta pred evropskimi volitvami na socialnem omrežju Facebook.
The full Chamber will have its say either in July or later in the year.
Pogumno, a premišljeno
Getting elected and electors talking
Evropski parlament in Evropska komisija bi svoje spletne aktivnosti morala okrepiti, so menili poslanci, a hkrati opozorili, da je pri prehodu na splet potrebna previdnost.
It states unambiguously that "access to information for citizens and communication between policy-makers and voters are central elements" to our democracy.
Vendar pa previdnost ni odveč.
Role of traditional forms of media important
"Televizija je potrebovala kar 13 let, da je dobila prvih 50 milijonov gledalcev, Facebook je dvakrat tolikšno število uporabnikov dosegel v samo nekaj mesecih," pa je potencial novih medijev razložil Freddy Neumann, šef danskega spletnega projekta za mlade.
In addition, in a separate amendment MEPs backed the idea of "setting up a group of correspondents from among the specialised, accredited journalists in Brussels, whose role would be to cover European news in a more instructive manner while guaranteeing editorial independence".
Kako povečati razpoznavnost EU?
"Extremely worrying" decrease in EU journalists
Poslanci so se posvetili tudi predlogom, ki naj bi povečali zanimanje državljanov za dogajanje v EU.
The report also calls for EuroparlTV to be developed further and be more integrated into Parliament's internet strategy.
V sprejeto poročilo so poslanci zapisali tudi predlog, da bi ustanovili posebno skupino specializiranih novinarjev, poročevalcev iz Bruslja, ki bi se lahko v pogojih zagotovljene uredniške neodvisnosti posvetili bolj konstruktivnemu pisanju o EU.
It s tresses "although social networks are a relatively good way of disseminating information rapidly, their reliability as sources cannot always be sufficiently guaranteed and they cannot be considered to be professional media".
Med ukrepe za boljšo prepoznavnost EU so poslanci uvrstili tudi pisarne v državah EU, katerih naloga bi bila razlaganje posledic evropske zakonodaje na lokalni, regionalni in nacionalni ravni, zaželeli pa so si tudi več predavanj o EU v šolah.
It also "underlines that the way in which data is handled on social network platforms can in many cases be dangerous and give rise to serious breaches of journalistic ethics and that caution is therefore required when taking up these new tools."
Dopolnila, ki so predlagala neposredne volitve predsednika Evropske komisije in Evropskega sveta, so poslanci zavrnili.
Separately, amendments calling for the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs to be directly elected - were voted down.

Kako se na okolju prijazen način znebiti mobilnega telefona?
Dealing with Europe's growing mountain of electrical waste
Le kaj se zgodi z njimi, ko se jih naveličamo in kupimo nove?
New legislation, scheduled to be voted this Thursday (3 Feb 2011), aims to toughen existing rules on collection and treatment so that within six years 85% of all waste will be recovered and treated.
V najslabšem primeru se odpadna elektronska oprema, polna škodljivih snovi, znajde v državah v razvoju, kjer otroci iz nje poberejo tisto, kar je vrednega.
The proposals for this legislation, drafted by Karl-Heinz Florenz (EPP, Germany), were backed by the Environment Committee on 22 June 2010.
Izvoz izguba za EU
Over 8 million tonnes of e-waste
"Zaradi nezakonitega izvažanja električnih in elektronskih odpadkov iz EU izgubimo veliko surovin.
This type of waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the EU (over 8 million tonnes and growing) and poses a series of challenges such as health problems if the waste is not properly treated and a loss of raw materials if there is no recycling.
"Gre za velik izziv, vendar je cilj realističen," je prepričan Florenz.
It is a challenging but realistic and important target."
Danes morajo države EU zbrati štiri kilograme električnih odpadkov na prebivalca, vendar nekatere zberejo znatno več, druge pa manj.
In the meanwhile, an interim target (4 kg or the amount collected in 2010, whichever is greater) will be set, to facilitate gradual improvement towards the final target.
Nova pravila predvidevajo tudi, da bo moral vsak izvoznik električne opreme dokazati, da ne izvaža odpadnih izdelkov, ampak rabljene, a delujoče naprave.
"Another change will be the establishment of European-wide standards for collection, treatment and recycling of waste.
Danes morajo namreč cariniki sami ugotavljati, za kakšne stvari gre.
The current situation shows a quite different quality of these operations in Europe," said Mr Florenz.
Vse več odpadkov
Illegal shipment
Neprimerno obdelani elektronski odpadki škodijo tako zdravju kot okolju, pri čemer se količina teh odpadkov stalno povečuje.
Every Member State, specifically the customs officers have to prove that the exported product is not functioning and therefore not allowed to be shipped".
V EU jih prebivalci letno ustvarijo do devet milijonov ton.
He added: "we will shift the burden of proof: now it is on the exporter.
Države EU ob tem uveljavljajo različne standarde obdelave teh odpadkov, zaradi česar poslanci vztrajajo pri uvedbi enotnih evropskih standardov za zbiranje, obdelovanje in recikliranje električne in elektronske odpadne opreme.
Furthermore, we established clear criteria to distinguish between waste and used but functioning products.
"Ti bodo lahko majhne naprave, kot so telefoni in brivniki, oddali v vsaki trgovini z elektronsko opremo, ne da bi morali pri tem kaj kupiti," nova pravila razlaga poslanec Florenz.
Consumers can already turn their electronic waste in to dedicated facilities, but things will be easier now: "consumers will now be able to deposit very small appliances like mobile phones, shavers etc at any retail shop, without the requirement to buy a new product.

Parlament uspešno zaščitil skupne interese EU v bodoči evropski diplomaciji
External Action Service: EP's budgetary powers guarantee parliamentary oversight
V evropski diplomaciji bo delalo od 6000 do 7000 diplomatov.
MEPs welcome deal on organisation of Action Service Parliamentary oversight a key factor A crucial vote for the nascent EU diplomatic corps - the European External Action Service - could be held next week by the European Parliament.
Manj prostora za interese posameznih držav, več za evropske Kdor nadzira proračun, nadzira tudi diplomacijo Potem, ko se 21. junija v Madridu Evropski parlament, Evropska komisija in države Evropske unije uspele dogovoriti o temeljnih smernicah za delovanje evropske službe za zunanje delovanje, poslanci poudarjajo, da jim je v pogajanjih uspelo zaščititi evropski interes.
It comes just days after European Union governments and the head of the new service, Catherine Ashton reached a deal in Madrid on the functioning, organisation and political accountability of the new service.
Ker bo Parlament nadziral proračun evropske diplomacije, bo namreč lahko poskrbel, da ta ne bo delovala samo v skladu z željami nekaterih držav članic, ampak v prid celotne EU.
The European Parliament has budgetary authority over the Service and is eager to ensure there is strong Parliamentary oversight to its operations.
Nadzor nad denarjem
The reactions of the MEPs who have been leading negotiations over the Service have been mainly positive to the new developments.
Nemški poslanec Elmar Brok (EPP) , predsednik odbora za zunanje zadeve, je tako menil, da je Parlament v pogajanjih uspel razširiti svoje proračunske pristojnosti v zvezi z bodočo evropsko diplomacijo.
Speaking in the Foreign Affairs Committee on 28 June, veteran centre-right MEP Elmar Brok said, "the Parliament have more budgetary powers, in this sense we got slightly more than we have expected".
Administrativni proračun sicer ne bo del proračuna EU, vendar bodo poslanci po posebnem postopku zanj vseeno podeljevali razrešnico.
He went on to say that "our objective is to get a functioning service that can get on with confidence building measures".
Ostalo porabo denarja bo Parlament nadzoroval v skladu z običajnim proračunskim postopkom.
The operational part of the budget of the EEAS will be part of the European Commission's budget - and the Commission's budget can only be signed off by Parliament.
"Naš cilj je, da ustvarimo delujočo službo, ki bo nadaljevala z grajenjem zaupanja," je ob tem dejal Brok.
The administration part of the budget will be a separate part of the EU budget but will still be under the budgetary control of the EP.
Interesi Skupnosti na prvem mestu
"An ambitious, broader EEAS"
"Sedaj imamo obsežnejšo, bolj ambiciozno evropsko službo za zunanje delovanje, s 6000 do 7000 diplomati in uradniki, ki bodo delovali v skladu z metodo Skupnosti in jo pri več vprašanjih še okrepili," pa je rezultat pogajanj povzel belgijski poslanec Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE).
Speaking just after the Madrid deal on the EEAS, former Belgian Prime Minister turned MEP Guy Verhofstadt praised the fact that the community method of different countries working together through European Union Institutions like the Commission and the Council would be protected.
Po njegovem mnenju bo evropska diplomacija tako manj podložna Kar 60 odstotkov evropskih diplomatov bo evropskih uradnikov, ostali bodo prišli iz držav članic, visoka predstavnica EU za zunanjo in varnostno politiko EU Catherine Ashton pa se bo pri svojem delu morala usklajevati z evropskimi komisarji za širitev, razvoj in humanitarno pomoč, je razložil Verhofstadt.
"We now have an ambitious, broader EEAS, with 6000-7000 diplomats and civil servants, based in the most appropriate way on the communitarian method, safeguarding, even strengthening the communitarian method on a number of issues."
"Dosegli smo, da bo nova diplomatska služba politično odgovorna Evropskemu parlamentu kot edini neposredno voljeni instituciji EU," je ob tem dejal italijanski poslanec Roberto Gualtieri (S&D) .
Italian Member Roberto Gualtieri welcomed the deal saying "we secured agreement that the new service will be politically accountable to the European Parliament as the only directly-elected EU institution".
Kako naprej?
The staff of the new Service will be made up by around two thirds EU staff (from the Commission and the Council of Ministers) with the rest being diplomats from the 27 EU countries under secondment.

Predsedovanje EU prevzema Belgija, poslanci ne pričakujejo težav
Belgium's EU Presidency
Po Španiji predsedovanje EU prevzema Belgija, ki ji bo sledila Madžarska - te države sestavljajo trio predsedujočih uniji Izvežbanost v umetnosti kompromisa bo Belgiji pomagala pri predsedovanju Belgija je federalna država, kjer imajo tri regije znatno moč odločanja Čeprav je Belgija v zadnjem času na prvih straneh časopisov predvsem zaradi tega, ker predsedovanje Evropski uniji 1. julija prevzema z začasno vlado, pa belgijski evropski poslanci zaradi tega ne pričakujejo težav.
From July to December Belgium will chair the EU Presidency We speak to Belgian MEPs Determined not to let domestic differences hinder Presidency Belgium takes over the 6-month rotating Council Presidency on 1 July but it still hasn't formed a new government after the elections in June where the Dutch-speaking N-VA and French-speaking Socialists (PS) emerged as the largest parties.
Program predsedovanja EU namreč sestavi t.i. trio, katerega članici sta poleg Belgije še Španija, ki je predsedovanje uniji pravkar končala, ter Madžarska, ki ga bo prevzela čez pol leta.
We spoke to four MEPs from different parties and regions to ask what Belgium could bring to the EU during the 6 months of its EU Presidency.
Prednostne naloge so tako določene že dalj časa, treba je le poskrbeti za njihovo izvajanje.
The full European Parliament will debate the Belgian Presidency on Wednesday 7 July whose priorities include employment, social cohesion, environment and climate change.
Belgija po junijskih parlamentarnih volitvah, iz katerih sta kot zmagovalki izšli flamska, nizozemsko govoreča N-VA in valonski, francosko govoreči socialisti (PS), še nima vlade, posle pa bo do njenega oblikovanja kot premier še naprej opravljal Yves Leterme.
As the Presidency programme is always prepared in advance, together with former and future presiding countries, Belgian MEPs are confident that it will run smoothly and efficiently.
Tudi brez vlade bo predsedovanje uspešno
Marc Tarabella - a Socialist Member - told us that a large amount of work had gone into the agenda as the EU Presidency requires considerable preparations.
Kljub temu, da bodo Belgijci morali na novo vlado čakati še kar nekaj časa, pa flamski krščanski demokrat Jean-Luc Dehaene (EPP), sicer nekdanji predsednik belgijske vlade, meni, da to na kakovost predsedovanja ne bo vplivalo.
Referring to the political uncertainty that has gripped the country due to the fall of the Belgian Government prior to elections, MEP Jean-Luc Dehaene (EPP group) told us he thought having a provisional government would not make any difference.
"Če vlade v nekaj mesecih ne bo, potem bo vlada v odstopu pač izvajala program, ki ga je oblikoval trio," se je strinjala tudi poslanka Brepoelsova.
As Frieda Brepoels says, "in case there wouldn't be a government in a few months, the resigning government dealing with current affairs should just carry out the programme that has been worked out".
Predsedstvo EU manj na prepihu
MEPs voiced the expectation that the rotating Presidency will have a less prominent role politically.
"Z ustanovitvijo položajev stalnega predsednika Evropskega sveta in predsednika Sveta zunanjih ministrov EU, je vloga predsedujoče države veliko manj politična kot prej," je posledice sprememb, ki jih je v delovanje EU uvedla Lizbonska pogodba, razložil Dehaene.
Jean-Luc Dehaene explained to us that "with the permanent European Council President and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Council, the role of the Presidency is much more organisational, much less political than it was before".
Michel je dodal, da s tem vloga predsedstva EU postaja bolj logistična in organizacijska.
This point was picked up by Louis Michel who said that "the rotating Presidency have a role but a role that is logistical and organisational.
Belgija kot evropski model?
Belgian art of compromise, an opportunity for Europe
Belgijo sestavljajo tri regije z visoko stopnjo samostojnosti, Bruselj, Flandrija in Valonija, pri čemer ima država tudi tri jezikovne skupnosti, flamsko, valonsko in nemško.
With three regions (Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia) and three linguistic communities (Flemish, French, German speaking), Belgium is accustomed to search for political compromises.
Zato ni presenetljivo, da je politika v državi utemeljena v umetnosti kompromisa.
Louis Michel explained that "the European Council President and ministers are in charge of matters directly related to Europe have a tradition of compromise.
Michel k temu dodaja še dolgo tradicijo federalizma, katerega načela bi lahko pomagala utrjevati proces evropske integracije.
Louis Michel told us "there is a federal conviction in Belgium, is an element that can strengthen European integration".
Brepoelsova pa je menila, da je v EU zelo pomembno, da lahko svoje interese v zadevah, kjer imajo izključne pristojnosti, zastopajo tudi regije same.
Frieda Brepoels said that "it is very important that, as for example in Belgium, nationless states (regions) that have exclusive competences are sitting at the European table speaking for themselves and defending their interests."
