C. ker imuniteta pred sodnim postopkom, ki jo uživajo poslanci Evropskega parlamenta, zajema tudi imuniteto pred civilnim postopkom, a fortiori če je namen takšnega postopka znatna kazenska odškodnina,
C. whereas the immunity from legal proceedings enjoyed by Members of the European Parliament also covers immunity from civil proceedings, a fortiori when substantial, punitive damages are sought in those proceedings,
D. ker je Evropski parlament 23. septembra 2003 sklenil, da zaščiti imuniteto in privilegije Jannisa Sakellariouja v zvezi z istim postopkom in je svoj sklep in poročilo posredoval pristojnemu odboru pristojnega grškega sodišča,
D. whereas on 23 September 2003 the European Parliament decided to defend the immunity and privileges of Jannis Sakellariou in relation to the same case and to forward its decision and the report of the responsible committee to the competent Greek Court,
E. ker tožnik ni nadaljeval postopka, na katerega se je sklep Evropskega parlamenta z dne 23. septembra 2003 nanašal, je pa postopek obnovil s sodnim pozivom z dne 20. decembra 2005, ko Jannis Sakellariou ni bil več poslanec Evropskega parlamenta,
E. whereas the plaintiff failed to pursue the proceedings to which Parliament's decision of 23 September 2003 referred and only revived the proceedings by summons of 20 December 2005 after Mr Sakellariou had ceased to be a Member of the European Parliament;
F. ker se dejstva iz primera očitno nanašajo na mnenje, ki ga je Jannis Sakellariou izrazil pri opravljanju dolžnosti poslanca Evropskega parlamenta v smislu člena 9 Protokola o privilegijih in imunitetah,
F. Whereas the facts of the case clearly relate to an opinion expressed in the performance of Mr Sakellariou's duties as a Member of the European Parliament within the meaning of Article 9 of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities,
G. ker je imuniteta, ki jo poslanci Evropskega parlamenta uživajo v smislu člena 9 protokola, v korist Parlamenta in je absolutna, zato se ji ni možno odpovedati; ker se v korist institucije ohranja tudi potem, ko se določenemu poslancu mandat izteče;
G. Whereas the immunity conferred on Members of the European Parliament by Article 9 of the Protocol is for the benefit of Parliament itself and absolute and cannot be waived; moreover, it continues to subsist for the benefit of the institution even after the Member of Parliament concerned has ceased to be a member,
Po podatkih, ki jih je Jannis Sakellariou posredoval v pismu z dne 6. junija 2006, se njegova zahteva za zaščito imunitete nanaša na civilno tožbo za znatno odškodnino, ki jo je opisal v pismu predsedniku parlamenta z dne 20. januarja 2003 (glej spodaj).
According to the information supplied by Mr Sakellariou in his letter of 6 June 2006, his request for defence of immunity relates to a civil action for substantial damages, as he described in his letter of 20 January 2003 to the President of Parliament (see below), which led to Parliament's resolution of 23 September 2003 deciding to defend his immunity.
Sedaj, več let kasneje in potem ko se je Jannisu Sakellariouju iztekel mandat evropskega poslanca, je tožnik sodni postopek obnovil in določen je bil datum zaslišanja, in sicer 23. november 2006.
Now, several years later, after Mr Sakellariou has ceased to be a Member of the European Parliament, the plaintiff has revived the proceedings and a hearing has been set down for 23 November 2006.
Iz pisma Jannisa Sakellariouja z dne 20. januarja 2003 lahko takole povzamemo dejstva primera:
From Mr Sakellariou's letter of 20 January 2003, the facts of the case can be summarised as follows:
1. založbi H.K. Tegopoulos Ltd, z registriranim sedežem v Atenah, kot lastniku revije Epsilon tis Eleftherotypias ,
1. the publishing house H.K. Tegopoulos Ltd, whose registered office is situated in Athens, in its capacity as owner of the magazine Epsilon tis Eleftherotypias ,
Athanasiosu Tegopoulosu, založniku revije Epsilon tis Eletherotypias,
Athanasios Tegopoulos, publisher of the magazine Epsilon tis Eletherotypias ,
Serafeimu Findanidisu, generalnemu direktorju revije Epsilon tis Eletherotypias ,
Serafeim Findanidis, Managing Director of the magazine Epsilon tis Eletherotypias ,
Christosu Bletasu, odgovornemu uredniku revije Epsilon tis Eletherotypias ,
Christos Bletas, Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Epsilon tis Eletherotypias ,
Eleni Kochaimidou, novinarki,
Eleni Kochaimidou, journalist,
Jannisu Sakellariouju, poslancu Evropskega parlamenta.
Jannis Sakellariou, Member of the European Parliament
Revija je priloga zelo branega časopisa Kyriakatiki Eleftherotypia , katerega lastnik in založnik je prvoimenovani toženec, založba H.K.
The magazine is a supplement of the high-circulation newspaper Kyriakatiki Eleftherotypia , which is owned and published by the first-named defendant, the publishing house.
V vlogi je navedeno, da gre pri oznakah toženca Jannisa Sakellariouja za blatenje vlagatelja na neizzvan in neupravičen način, ki "očitno škoduje mojemu dostojanstvu, časti in ugledu kot človeku in osebnosti v družbi, pa tudi kot politiku in že leta dejavnemu predstavniku javnega življenja naše države"
The application states that in making those remarks the defendant Jannis Sakellariou defamed the applicant in an unprovoked, unjustified manner which was ‘clearly detrimental to my dignity, honour and reputation as a man and figure in society and also as a politician and active member of the public life of my country for decades’
Zaradi navedenih razlogov naj bi sodišče zahtevalo, da šest tožencev vlagatelju solidarno plača znesek 50 000 000 GDR (približno 150 000 EUR) skupaj z zakonskimi obrestmi za čas od vloge kot odškodnino za povzročeno moralno škodo
For the reasons outlined in the application, the court should require the six defendants jointly and severally to pay the applicant the sum of GDR million (50 000 000) (roughly EUR 150 000), together with statutory interest for the period from the submission of the application, in compensation for the moral injury he suffered
Člen 9 Protokola o privilegijih in imunitetah Evropskih skupnosti ("protokol")
Article 9 of the Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Communities ("the Protocol")
Člen 9 protokola določa naslednje:
Article 9 of the Protocol reads as follows:
Zoper člana Skupščine se ne sme začeti preiskava, ne sme biti priprt niti se zoper njega ne sme začeti sodni postopek zaradi mnenja ali glasu, ki ga je izrekel pri opravljanju svojih dolžnosti .
‘Members of the European Parliament shall not be subject to any form of inquiry, detention or legal proceedings in respect of opinions expressed or votes cast by them in the performance of their duties ’.
Imuniteti se ni možno odpovedati v primerih, ko so dejanja, katerih je obtožen določen poslanec, del njegovega političnega delovanja ali so na njegovo politično delovanje neposredno vezana
Immunity cannot be waived in cases in which the acts of which a Member stands accused were carried out in the performance of his or her political duties or were directly related to such duties
Glej nedaven podoben primer zahteve za zaščito poslanske imunitete Giovannija Claudia Fave, sklep z dne 1. decembra 2005 (IMM/2005/2174)). .
See recently the similar recent case of the request for defence of the immunity of Giovanni Claudio Fava, decision of 1 December 2005 (IMM/2005/2174)). .
Zato mora Parlament v skladu s členom 9 poslančevo imuniteto zaščititi, če je do spornih dejanj prišlo pri opravljanju njegovih političnih dolžnosti oziroma so bila sporna dejanja neposredno vezana na takšne dolžnosti.
Consequently, Parliament must defend a Member's immunity under Article 9 where the acts at issue were carried out in performance of his or her political duties or were directly related to such duties.
Ko je izrekel stavek iz časopisnega intervjuja, je Jannis Sakellariou izvrševal svobodo govora v povezavi z izvajanjem dolžnosti poslanca Evropskega parlamenta.
When he made the statements incorporated in the newspaper interview, Mr Sakellariou was exercising his freedom of speech in connection with the performance of his duties as a Member of Parliament.
Grško-turški odnosi so že od nekdaj temeljnega pomena za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko Evropske unije, gospod Sakellariou pa je tudi član parlamentarnega odbora, pristojnega za zunanje zadeve.
Greco-Turkish relations have always been of fundamental relevance to the European Union’s common foreign and security policy and Mr Sakellariou is also a member of the parliamentary committee responsible for foreign affairs.
Ko je odbor 12. julija 2006 zaslišal Jannisa Sakellariouja, je ta poudaril, da je intervju dal kot koordinator za zunanjo politiko skupine socialdemokratov v EP.
When Mr Sakellariou was heard by the committee on 12 July 2006, he pointed out that he gave the interview in his capacity of coordinator for foreign policy of the Socialist Group.
Intervju je bil opravljen v njegovi pisarni v Evropskem parlamentu in vse fotografije iz članka so bile posnete v zgradbi Parlamenta.
Moreover, the interview was conducted in his office in Parliament and the photographs accompanying the article were all of Parliament's premises.
Sporno izjavo je treba umestiti v politični kontekst, v katerem je nastal intervju, in jo obravnavati kot zadevo velikega javnega pomena in interesa.
The statements at issue must be seen in the political context of the interview and relate to a matter of genuine public importance and interest.
Pravica do tovrstnih izjav je bistvena za izvajanje vloge poslanca, izvoljenega od ljudi.
The right to make such statements is central to the role of a Member elected by the people.
Civilna tožba proti Jannisu Sakellariouju nedvomno predstavlja "pravni postopek" v smislu člena 9 protokola.
There is no doubt that the civil action brought against Mr Sakellariou constitutes ‘legal proceedings’ within the meaning of Article 9 of the Protocol.
Poleg vseh drugih pomislekov gre za kazensko odškodnino in nadaljevanje tovrstnega postopka lahko ogrozi svobodo govora poslancev in Parlamenta kot celote.
Apart from any other consideration, the level of damages is punitive and to allow such proceedings to go forward could jeopardise Members' freedom of speech and hence that of Parliament as a whole.
Poleg tega je Jannis Sakellariou med zaslišanjem v odboru izjavil, da se pritožnik ni odzval na ponudbo opravičila kot sredstva za izvensodno poravnavo, pač pa z obnovitvijo prvotnega tožbenega zahtevka vztraja pri svoji zahtevi po kazenski odškodnini.
Moreover, according to Mr Sakallariou's statement made at his hearing, the complainant did not respond to an offer of a letter of amends by way of out-of-court settlement, but has persisted in his claim for punitive damages by reviving his original claim.
Navedeno, skupaj z višino zahtevane odškodnine za izključno moralno škodo in dejstvom, da je pritožnik umaknil zahtevke nasproti drugim tožencem (tudi nasproti urednika revije in novinarke avtorice članka), navaja na misel, da je resnični cilj sodnega pregona "kaznovati" Jannisa Sakellariouja za njegovo mnenje in ne zgolj zaščititi ugled pritožnika.
This, together with the level of damages sought for purely moral damage and the fact that the complainant has refrained from pursuing his claim against the other defendants (including the editor of the magazine and the journalist responsible for the article), suggests that the true aim of the prosecution is to 'punish' Mr Sakellariou for expressing his views and not simply to defend the complainant's reputation.
To mnenje še dodatno krepi dejstvo, da je pritožnik tožbo pustil mirovati nekaj let.
This view is reinforced by the fact that the claimant allowed his action to lie dormant for a period of years.
Poročevalec zato oblikuje priporočilo, naj Parlament zaščiti imuniteto in privilegije Jannisa Sakellariouja.
Your rapporteur therefore recommends that Parliament should defend Mr Jannis Sakellariou’s immunity and privileges.

Parlament je v svojem sklepu z dne 14. decembra 2004 o preverjanju veljavnosti mandatov poslancev
In its decision of 14 December 2004 on the verification of credentials
Poročevalec: Giuseppe Gargani, A6-0043/2004 . navedel, da " so spremembe akta z dne 20. septembra 1976, vnesene s sklepom Sveta 2002/772/ES, Euratom z dne 25. junija 2002 in 23. septembra 2002, izpostavile neustreznost predpisov iz členov 3 in 4 poslovnika, zlasti v zvezi z sprejetjem ukrepov za preverjanje primerov očitne nezdružljivosti (v skladu s členom 7 akta z dne 20. septembra 1976) od začetka ustanovne seje Evropskega parlamenta ".
Parliament stated that " the amendments made to the Act of 20 September 1976 by Council Decision 2002/772/EC, Euratom of 25 June 2002 and 23 September 2002 have highlighted the inadequacy of the provisions contained in Rules 3 and 4 of the Rules of Procedure, particularly as regards the adoption of measures for the verification of cases of clear incompatibility (in accordance with Article 7 of the Act of 20 September 1976) with effect from the European Parliament’s constituent sitting ".
Odbor za ustavne zadeve je bil zaprošen, da preuči " vprašanje o spremembi členov 3 in 4 poslovnika, da bi se ju prilagodilo spremenjenemu aktu z dne 20. septembra 1976 in da bi se opredelile določbe, na osnovi katerih se bo Parlament lahko odzval na morebitne očitne primere nezdružljivosti, tako da bi se že od ustanovne seje lahko sestal v polni sestavi ".
The Committee on Constitutional Affairs has been asked to examine " the question of the amendment of Rules 3 and 4 of the Rules of Procedure in order for them to be adapted to the Act of 20 September 1976, as amended, and for provisions to be laid down that will enable Parliament to act on any clear cases of incompatibility, so that all Members of Parliament can take their seats with effect from the constituent sitting ".
Pooblastilo Evropskega parlamenta za preverjanje veljavnosti mandatov poslancev izhaja iz člena 12 omenjenega akta, v skladu s katerim Parlament vzame uradno razglašene izide držav članic na znanje in odloči o morebitnih sporih na podlagi določb akta, razen tistih, ki izhajajo iz nacionalnih določb, na katere se akt nanaša.
The European Parliament's power to verify the credentials of its Members flows from Article 12 of the above mentioned Act, according to which Parliament shall take note of the results declared officially by the Member States and shall rule on any disputes which may arise out of the provisions of this Act other than those arising out of the national provisions to which the Act refers .
Z drugimi besedami, akt Evropskemu parlamentu nalaga odgovornost, da zagotovi zakonitost svoje sestave, kar to zadeva izvajanje določb akta.
In other words: the Act confers upon the European Parliament a responsibility to ensure the legality of its composition insofar as the implementation of the provisions of this Act is concerned.
Poslovnik Parlamenta bi moral zato zagotavljati ustrezne postopkovne instrumente, s katerimi lahko Parlament v vsakem trenutku zagotovi, da deluje v zakoniti sestavi.
Parliament's Rules of Procedure should therefore provide for the appropriate procedural instruments to be able to ensure, at any moment, that Parliament is acting in its legal composition.
Pri izvajanju določb akta so se pojavile nekatere praktične težave, zlasti ker so pristojni organi držav članic v nekaterih primerih imena izvoljenih kandidatov sporočili prepozno, pa tudi v povezavi s predlogom spremembe k členu 7 akta, ki določa nezdružljivost funkcije poslanca Evropskega parlamenta s funkcijo poslanca v nacionalnem parlamentu.
Some practical difficulties have been encountered in the implementation of the provisions of the Act, notably owing to the fact that, in some cases, the competent authorities of the Member States have notified the names of the elected candidates only belatedly, and in connection with the amendment to Article 7 of the Act, stipulating the incompatibility of the office of Member of European Parliament with that of member of a national parliament.
