Vendar pa to ne sme postati sredstvo, da bi se obšlo Parlament, ki predstavlja vse državljane EU.
It should not however become a means to bypass the Parliament which is the democratic emanation of all the citizens of the EU.
Z drugimi besedami, dopolnjevati mora dejavnosti Parlamenta in jih ne sme nadomeščati.
It should in other words, be seen as complementary to Parliament's action, not as a substitute for it.
Preden je Komisija povabljena, da predloži predlog, se mora posvetovati s Parlamentom.
It should therefore be channelled through Parliament, before the Commission is invited to officially submit a proposal.
Odstavek določa, da mora evropsko pravo določati odločbe za določene postopke in pogoje, potrebne za pobudo državljanov.
That paragraph specifies that a European Law shall determine the provisions for the specific procedures and conditions required for such a citizens' initiative.
Nujno je, da so ti postopki enostavni, jasni in pregledni ter da državljanom omogočajo, da dajejo pobudo za postopek, ki vodi k oblikovanju zakonodajnih predlogov, in se tega postopka tudi stalno udeležujejo.
It is imperative that such procedures are simple, clear and transparent and provide citizens with the effective right of initiative and continued involvement in the process leading to the formulation of a legislative proposal.
Tak ukrep se zato šteje za zelo praktično in dobrodošlo razširitev pravice državljana do peticije.
Such a measure should therefore be considered as an extension, and a very practical one, to the citizen's right of petition in a positive sense.
V resnici je bistvo pravice do peticije v zvezi z logično posledico.
Indeed, it is the essence of the right of petition, taken to its logical consequence.
Odbor za peticije bi seveda rad bi ob pravem času odgovorni odbor, morda z drugimi pristojnimi odbori Parlamenta, odvisno od primera pri pripravah zadevnega evropskega prava.
Quite clearly, when the moment arises, the Petitions Committee would like to be directly associated as the committee responsible, perhaps with the other competent committees of Parliament depending on the issue involved, in the preparation of the European Law concerned.
Zahteva pravico in odgovornost, da je sestavni del postopka, ki državljane neposredno povezuje z ustvarjanjem evropskega prava, in sicer zaradi povezanosti in principa, pa tudi zaradi praktičnih razlogov.
It claims the right and the responsibility to be an integral part of the process which links the citizen directly to the creation of a European law, as a matter of coherence and principle as well as for practical reasons.
Končne opombe:
Final remarks:
Osnutek Pogodbe o Ustavi za Evropo vsebuje veliko določenih odločb v zvezi s posameznimi pravicami in področji politike, o katerih se redno razpravlja v Odboru, zaradi peticij, povezanih z njimi.
The Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe contains many specific provisions on individual rights and policy areas which are regularly discussed in Committee because of the petitions related to them.
V tem smislu bi se moralo opozoriti, da je postopek peticij kooperativen in krepi zmožnost Parlamenta, da v imenu državljanov izvaja nadzor in pregled dejavnosti Unije.
It should be recalled in this context quite simply that the petitions process is a cooperative one, which enhances the Parliament's ability to exercise the supervision and control of Union activity on behalf of the citizen.
V primeru, da se določijo bolj primerni načini nepravnih sredstev, postane postopek za izvrševanje zakonodaje EU, ki ga prek Sveta sprejme Parlament in vsaka država članica, še bolj učinkovit.
If a more adequate means of non-judicial remedy were to be provided for, it would become an even more efficient process for the enforcement of EU law, agreed by Parliament and each Member State through the Council.
Odbor za peticije prav tako predstavlja primerni parlamentarni okvir za podporo zakonodajne pobude državljanov, in če je potrebno, njeno izboljšanje z neposredno in javno udeležbo pobudnikov, pred pristopom k Komisiji.
Similarly, the Petitions Committee constitutes the appropriate parliamentary framework for the promotion of citizens' legislative initiatives and, if necessary, their refinement with the direct and public involvement of the initiators, before accessing the Commission.
V namen bolj natančne priprave postopkov bo v prihajajočem obdobju potrebnih še veliko razprav o zadnjem vprašanju.
In the coming period more discussions must take place on this latter issue in order to work out the procedures in more detail.

Evropski parlament je 29. septembra 2004 sklenil, da v skladu s členom 262 Pogodbeo ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti zaprosi Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor za mnenje o:
On 29 September 2004, the European Parliament decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 262 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the
Pogodbi o ustavi za Evropo.
Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
Glede na nujnost del, je Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor na 411. plenarnem zasedanju dne 15. in 16. septembra 2004 sklenil, da imenuje gospoda MALOSSA za glavnega poročevalca.
In view of the urgent nature of the work, the EESC decided, at its 411 th plenary session held on 15 and 16 September 2004, to appoint Mr Malosse as rapporteur-general.
Na 412. plenarnem zasedanju 27. in 28. oktobra 2004 (seja 28. oktobra 2004) je sprejel naslednje mnenje z 166 glasovi za, 4 glasovi proti in 6 vzdržanimi glasovi.
At its 412 th plenary session on 27 and 28 October 2004 (meeting of 28 October 2004), the EESC adopted the following opinion by 166 votes to 4, with 6 abstentions:
1.1 V mnenju z dne 24. septembra 2003
1.1 The EESC expressed its support for the draft Constitutional Treaty in its opinion of 24 September 2003
nacionalnih interesov: pogodbo je treba preučiti z vidika njenega globalnega političnega pomena znotraj procesa, ki so ga pred več kot petdesetimi leti sprožili ustanovitelji Evropskih skupnosti.
The draft Treaty has to be scrutinised from the standpoint of its overall political importance in the context of the process launched over 50 years ago by the founding fathers of the European Communities.
1.4 EESO v teh okoliščinah pozdravlja pobudo komisije za ustavne zadeve Evropskega
1.4 Against this background, the EESC welcomes the action taken by the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs in asking the EESC for an opinion on the Constitutional Treaty.

The EESC intends to avail itself to the full of this opportunity to set out:
Jasna sporočila
Clear messages
2.1 Metoda Konvencije – korak naprej pri demokratizaciji procesa izgradnje Evrope
2.1 Use of the instrument of the “Convention”: a step forward in the process of democratising the European venture
Prizadevanja za vključitev organizirane civilne družbe preko javnih razprav, posvetovanj ter udeležbe opazovalcev, ki so jih izbrali socialni partnerji in EESO, so pomenila velik korak naprej tudi glede na ustavne prakse večine držav članic.
The efforts to involve civil society organisations, by means of hearings and consultations and through the participation of observers selected by the social partners and the EESC, marked a real step forward, also vis-à-vis the constitutional practices pursued in the majority of the Member States.
EESO je v mnenju z dne 24. septembra 2003
In its abovementioned opinion of 24 September 2003
2 Cf. opomba 1 2 , podal predloge za nadaljnjo krepitev procesa vključevanja civilne družbe v prihodnosti.
2 Cf. footnote 1 2 , the EESC also put forward proposals for strengthening the process of involving civil society in the future.
2.1.2 Kljub nekaterim odmikom medvladna konferenca ni izkrivila besedila, ki ga je predlagala Konvencija.
2.1.2 Although there was a number of setbacks, the IGC did not substantially change the text proposed by the Convention.
Ustavna pogodba temelji na soglasju med vsemi političnimi skupinami in je sad rečnicne demokratične razprave.
The Constitutional Treaty is based on a consensus between all the political groupings and is the fruit of a genuine democratic debate.
2.1.3 Četudi zaradi mešane narave Evropske unije, ki je unija držav in narodov, Konvencija ni imela ustavodajnih pristojnosti, je vendarle pomenila prelomnico v dosedanji praksi, ki je povsem zanemarjala zastopanje parlamentov in udeležbo civilne družbe.
2.1.3 Even though the Convention was not given constituent power, in view of the dual nature of the EU, as a union of states and peoples, the establishment of the Convention represented a genuine break with earlier practices, which completely disregarded the representation of parliaments and civil society.
2.1.4 Opustitev ustavne pogodbe bi pomenila neuspeh uporabljene metode.
2.1.4 Abandonment of the Constitutional Treaty would constitute a defeat for the method of drafting which was adopted.
Zato se je pomembno zavzeti, da se ta metoda ohrani (kar predvideva tudi sama ustavna pogodba).
It is therefore essential to plead the cause of using this method on a permanent basis (as stipulated in the Constitutional Treaty itself).
2.1.5 Zato EESO, ki je sodeloval pri delu Konvencije, podpira legitimnost te pogodbe in poziva vse člane Konvencije in opazovalce, ki so se podpisali pod besedilo, da storijo enako.
2.1.5 For this reason, the EESC, which participated in the work of the Convention, endorses the legitimacy of the Treaty and calls upon all the members of the Convention and observers who signed the draft Treaty to follow its example.
2.2 Ustava pomeni "revolucijo" v zgodovini evropske izgradnje
2.2 The establishment of a Constitution, a “revolutionary” step in the history of the European venture
2.2.1 Ustava ponuja nov okvir delovanja Unije.
2.2.1 The Constitution provides a new framework of operation for the Union.
Zajema tri glavne dele, med katerimi sta prva dva popolni novosti: prvi del opredeljuje načela in vrednote, na katerih temelji Unija, drugi del pa temeljne pravice državljanov.
The Constitution comprises three main parts, the first two of which represent complete innovations.
Tretji del povzema in posodablja politike Skupnosti, ki so zajete že v prejšnjih pogodbah.
Part I defines the principles and values underlying the Union; Part II sets out the fundamental rights of the citizens of the Union; and Part III defines and updates the Community policies set out in the earlier treaties.
2.2.2 Ustava omogoča nadomestiti obstoječe pogodbe z enotnim in celotnim besedilom, da bi delovanje EU postalo za vse bolj razumljivo in dostopnejše.
2.2.2 The Constitution provides a means of replacing the existing treaties by a single, comprehensive document, thereby making the way in which the EU operates more readily understandable and more accessible to all.
2.2.3 Ustava ne nadomešča nacionalnih ustav ampak obstaja skupaj z njimi.
2.2.3 The Constitution does not replace national constitutions but coexists alongside these constitutions.
Nanašala se bo na celotno ozemlje Evropske unije.
It will apply to all of the territory of the European Union.
2.2.4 Četudi njena vsebina ni povsem "revolucionarna", pogodba že s svojo ustavno naravo odpira novo poglavje v kolektivni zavesti evropskih narodov o skupnih ambicijah in skupni usodi.
2.2.4 Although the substance of the Constitution is not, strictly speaking, “revolutionary”, the fact that the new Treaty takes the form of a constitution is bound to mark a new chapter in the collective awareness of the people of the European Union by focusing on a joint ambition and a common destiny.
Naloga EESO je med ljudmi širiti zavest o tem koraku naprej v izgradnji Evrope.
The EESC is duty bound to promote public awareness of this step forward in the building of Europe.
2.3 Bolj demokratična Unija, ki priznava, da so interesi državljanov bistvenega pomena za izgradnjo Evrope (Prvi del pogodbe)
2.3 A more democratic Union which recognises that the interests of the people are paramount in the building of Europe (Part I of the Treaty)
2.3.1 Cilj ustavne pogodbe je jasen: vzpostaviti politično Unijo v imenu državljanov in držav Evrope.
2.3.1 The objective of the Constitutional Treaty is abundantly clear: to establish a political union on behalf of the citizens and States of Europe .
2.3.2 Osrednja ambicija Unije je izpolniti temeljna pričakovanja evropskih državljanov.
2.3.2 The Union’s ambitions focus on the principal aspirations of the citizens of the Union.
Polna zaposlenost, visoko konkurencno socialno tržno gospodarstvo in visoka raven varstva in izboljšanje kakovosti okolja so cilji Unije, ki so jasno navedeni.
The Constitutional Treaty explicitly mentions “full employment, a highly competitive social market economy and a high level of protection and improvement of the quality of the environment", when listing the aims of the Union.
Unija se prav tako zavzema za spodbujanje "ekonomske, socialne in ozemeljske kohezije ter solidarnosti med državami članicami" ter za to, da bi bila za državljane "prostor svobode, varnosti in pravice."
The Union also seeks to promote “economic, social and territorial cohesion and solidarity among Member States” and to provide “an area of freedom, security and justice” for its citizens.
2.3.3 Demokratična legitimnost procesa odločanja se je znatno izboljšala :
2.3.3 There has been a distinct improvement in the democratic legitimacy of the decision-making process:
2.3.3.1 Pristojnosti Evropskega parlamenta kot so-zakonodajalca so se povečale.
2.3.3.1 The powers of the European Parliament, as the joint legislative body, have been increased.
Takšen razvoj bo lahko prispeval k temu, da bodo državljani bolje razumeli pomen te institucije.
This development could help to strengthen public perception of the importance of the European Parliament.
2.3.3.2 Nova vloga, ki so jo dobili nacionalni parlamenti, omogoca izogniti se morebitni odvečni zakonodaji na evropski ravni.
2.3.3.2 The new role assigned to the national parliaments safeguards against any over-regulation at EU level.
Komisija mora nacionalne parlamente obveščati o vsaki novi pobudi in "mehanizem zgodnjega opozarjanja" daje parlamentom možnost, da nadzorujejo spoštovanje načela subsidiarnosti.
The Commission is obliged to inform national parliaments of any new initiatives and the “early warning mechanism” enables them to monitor compliance with the principle of subsidiarity.
2.3.4 Državljani bodo imeli odslej možnost biti informirani o stališčih njihovih vlad v Svetu, saj bo ta v vlogi zakonodajalca moral zagotavljati transparentnost.
2.3.4 In future, citizens can be informed of the positions adopted by their respective governments at the Council, since the latter body will be bound to act in a transparent way in its capacity as a legislative body.
2.3.5.1 Z ohranjanjem odprtega in rednega dialoga s predstavniškimi združenji civilne družbe naj bi evropske institucije delovale bolj koherentno in pregledno.
2.3.5.1 By maintaining an open and regular dialogue with representative civil society associations, EU Institutions should act in a more coherent and transparent way.
Predvsem se lahko nadejamo, da se bomo preko posvetovanja z udeleženimi stranmi lahko izognili pretirano natančnim predpisom, ki na terenu ne bodo izvedljivi.
By consulting the parties concerned, it should be possible, for example, to avoid nitpicking rules and rules which cannot be applied in practice.
Komisija bo morala bolje oceniti ekonomske in socialne posledice svojih predlogov ter njihov vplivom na regionalni in lokalni ravni.
Under the Constitutional Treaty the Commission would also be obliged to carry out a more effective assessment of the economic and social impact of its proposals, including the impact at regional and local level.
2.3.5.2 Ena velikih novosti, ki jih prinaša ustava, je uvedba pravice do ljudske iniciative.
2.3.5.2 One of the major innovations of the Constitutional Treaty is the establishment of a right of popular initiative.
Evropski državljani, če jih je najmanj milijon in če izhajajo iz dovolj velikega števila držav clanic, lahko odslej Evropsko komisijo povabijo, da pripravi predlog zakonodaje, ki bo izpolnil njihova pričakovanja.
Provided that each request is supported by at least one million citizens coming from a significant number of Member States, EU citizens may in future invite the European Commission to submit proposals for legislation which meet their aspirations.
2.4 Unija, ki bolje šciti temeljne pravice evropskih državljanov (Drugi del pogodbe)
2.4 A Union which affords better protection of the fundamental rights of European citizens (Part II of the Treaty)
2.4.1 Listino temeljnih pravic je pripravila Konvencija, katere demokratična legitimnost je široko priznana.
2.4.1 The Charter of Fundamental Rights was drawn up by a Convention whose democratic legitimacy was widely recognised.
Organizacije civilne družbe so s svojimi prispevki igrale pomembno vlogo pri pripravi besedila listine.
Contributions from civil society organisations played an important role in the drafting of the Charter.
2.4.2 Listina temeljnih pravic je pomemben korak naprej, saj brez razlik vključuje vse vrste individualnih in kolektivnih pravic: državljanske in politične pravice ter socialne in ekonomske pravice.
2.4.2 The Charter of Fundamental Rights is seen as marking a step forward as it incorporates, without breaking them down into separate categories, all types of individual and collective rights (civil and political rights and social and economic rights).
Poleg tega uvaja novost, ko državljanom priznava "sodobnejše" pravice (vezane na trajnostni razvoj, varstvo potrošnikov, enakost spolov, bioetiko, varovanje osebnih podatkov itd.).
It also adopts an innovatory approach by recognising more “contemporary” civil rights (linked to sustainable development, consumer protection, gender equality, bioethics, the protection of personal data, etc.).
2.4.3 Temeljne pravice državljanov so sestavni del ustavne pogodbe, niso del preambule.
2.4.3 The fundamental rights of Union citizens form an integral part of the Constitutional Treaty, rather than taking the form of a preamble.
2.4.4 Takšna vključitev Evropske listine človekovih pravic v pogodbo, tako kot so zahtevale številne evropske organizacije civilne družbe, je velikega pomena, saj na ta način listini daje status zakonske obveznosti.
2.4.4 The incorporation of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Treaty, as demanded by a large number of European civil society organisations, is of significant importance as these rights will henceforth be legally binding.
2.4.5 V praksi ta napredek pomeni, da bodo državljani deležni boljše pravne zaščite.
2.4.5 This progressive measure will, in practice, mean that citizens will benefit from better legal protection.
Dejansko se bodo odslej lahko na listino sklicevali pred vsakim nacionalnim sodiščem, kadar bodo spodbijali odločitve evropskih institucij in držav clanic, kadar te izvajajo pravo skupnosti.
They will, in future, be able to invoke the provisions of the Charter in any national courts when challenging decisions taken by the European Institutions and by Member States in implementing Community law.
2.4.6 EESO, ki je sodeloval pri pripravi Evropske listine temeljnih pravic, meni, da je njena vključitev v pogodbo pomemben korak naprej pri zaščiti pravic fizičnih in pravnih oseb.
2.4.6 The EESC, which was involved in the drawing-up of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, takes the view that its incorporation into the Treaty represents a significant step forward in the protection of the rights of natural and legal persons .
2.5 Unija, ki po zaslugi svoje metode in politik Skupnosti lahko uresniči pričakovanja državljanov (Tretji del pogodbe)
2.5 A Union which is capable of meeting the aspirations of its citizens by virtue of the Community method and Community policies (Part III of the Treaty)
2.5.1 Obstoječe pogodbe in zlasti metoda Skupnosti so se izkazale za precej učinkovite.
2.5.1 The existing Treaties and, in particular, the Community method, have demonstrated their effectiveness to a considerable degree.
Zato tretji del ustave povzema glavne določbe obstoječih pogodb, ki se nanašajo na skupne politike Unije, s tem da širi kvalificirano večino na kakih dvajset področij, pri katerih je bilo doslej potrebno soglasje.
Part III of the Constitutional Treaty therefore sets out the main provisions of the existing treaties with regard to the EU’s common policies, whilst extending qualified majority voting to approximately 20 areas hitherto subject to unanimous voting.
Poleg tega je soodločanje v osnutku ustave uradno priznano kot "običajen zakonodajni postopek", s čimer so pristojnosti Evropskega parlamenta dejansko povečane.
Furthermore, it gives official recognition to the co-decision procedure as “ordinary legislative procedure”, thereby strengthening the powers of the European Parliament.
Večina odločitev Unije glede skupnih politik bo torej lahko sprejetih učinkoviteje in na bolj demokratičen nacin.
Most of the decisions taken by the Union relating to the common policies can therefore be adopted more effectively and more democratically.
2.5.2 V tretjem delu osnutka ustave so navedena splošna načela področij, pri katerih so se države članice odločile bodisi združiti sredstva bodisi sodelovati.
2.5.2 Part III of the draft Constitution sets out the general principles underlying the fields in which the EU Member States have decided either to pool their resources or to cooperate.
Vendar pa vsebina politik ni dokončno določena: odvisna je od odločitev, torej od volje vlad ter večin v Evropskem parlamentu.
The content of the policies in these areas is not, however, cast in stone; it depends on the decisions taken by EU governments and by majority votes in the European Parliament and therefore reflects the will of these bodies.
2.5.3 To velja naprimer za socialno politiko z vstavitvijo splošne določbe (t.i. « socialne klavzule »), po kateri mora Unija pri oblikovanju in izvajanju politik upoštevati « zahteve, povezane s spodbujanjem visoke ravni zaposlenosti, zagotavljanjem ustrezne socialne zaščite, bojem proti socialni izključenosti, kot tudi z visoko ravnijo izobraževanja, usposabljanja in zaščite zdravja ljudi”.
2.5.3 One example of this is social policy, with the insertion of a general provision ('social clause') stipulating that the Union must take into account, when defining and implementing its policies, 'the requirements linked to the promotion of a high level of employment, the guarantee of adequate social protection, the fight against social exclusion, and a high level of education, training and protection of human health'.
Enako velja za priznanje vloge storitev splošnega pomena pri spodbujanju socialne in teritorialne kohezije Evropske unije ali, kot je že zapisano v Pogodbi, za upoštevanje okoljske razsežnosti in zahtev zaščite potrošnikov.
Further examples include combating all forms of discrimination and exclusion and the recognition of the role of services of general interest in the promotion of the social and territorial cohesion of the Union or, as already enshrined in the Treaty, catering for the environmental dimension and the requirements of consumer protection.
2.5.4 Težave pri vključevanju državljanov v podporo ustavni pogodbi izhajajo iz dejstva, da so državljani navajeni, da se jih vpraša za mnenje glede načrtovanih akcij, glede političnih projektov, ne pa tudi glede okvira delovanja.
2.5.4 The difficulty encountered in securing popular involvement in the draft Constitutional Treaty may be attributed to the very fact that, whilst the public is used to being consulted on specific actions or proposed policies, it is not used to being consulted on operating frameworks.
