H. ker državljani EU in posamezniki s stalnim bivališčem v Uniji lahko pri tem dejavno sodelujejo z uveljavljanjem pravice do naslavljanja peticij na Evropski parlament ob vedenju, da bo pristojni odbor njihove težave obravnaval in raziskal ter podal ustrezen odgovor,
H. whereas EU citizens and residents of the Union may actively participate in this activity by exercising their right of petition to the European Parliament in the knowledge that their concerns will be addressed and investigated by the responsible committee and that a suitable reply will be given,
I. ker veljavne ustanovne pogodbe že vsebujejo obveznosti za spoštovanje osrednjih načel evropske družbe, namreč človekovega dostojanstva, svobode, demokracije, pravne države, človekovih pravic, enakosti in pravic manjšin, kar bodo nove pogodbe o Evropski uniji in njenem delovanju, če jih bo ratificiralo vseh 27 držav članic, še poglobile z vključitvijo Listine o temeljnih pravicah, ki bo pripomogla, da bo Unija pristopila k evropski konvenciji o človekovih pravicah ter omogočila pravno podlago za državljansko zakonodajno pobudo in ustrezen sistem upravnega prava za institucije EU,
I. whereas the existing Treaties already contain commitments to respect, as core principles of European society, human dignity, freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, equality and the rights of minorities and whereas the new Treaties on European Union and on the Functioning of the European Union will, if ratified by all 27 Member States, further strengthen this by incorporating the Charter of Fundamental Rights, providing for the accession of the Union to the European Convention on Human Rights, and introducing a legal basis for citizens' legislative initiatives, as well as a proper system of administrative law for the EU institutions,
J. ker člen 7 pogodbe o Evropski uniji določa postopke, po katerih lahko Unija ukrepa, če neka država članica hudo in vztrajno krši temeljna načela Unije, kakor je opredeljeno v členu 6 te pogodbe,
J. whereas Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union lays down procedures whereby the Union can take action to counter serious and persistent breaches by a Member State of the principles on which the Union is founded, as laid down in Article 6 of that Treaty,
K. v zvezi s tem želi spomniti, da državljani EU na Parlament pogosto naslavljajo peticije za izboljšanje stanja, kadar menijo, da so bile kršene njihove pravice iz ustanovnih pogodb, in se jim pravna sredstva zdijo neprimerna, nepraktična, predolgotrajna in – pogosto – draga,
K. recalling in this respect that EU citizens frequently petition Parliament for redress where they feel that their rights as recognised under the Treaties have been infringed and where they find that judicial remedies are unsuitable, impractical, excessively protracted or – as is often the case – expensive,
L. ker se odbor za peticije kot pristojni odbor ni dolžan samo odzvati na posamezne peticije, ampak si mora tudi prizadevati za trajne rešitve za težave vlagateljev peticij v primernem časovnem roku, kar je glavni namen njegovega delovanja,
L. whereas the Committee on Petitions, as the responsible committee, has a duty not only to respond to individual petitions but also to seek to provide viable solutions to the concerns expressed by petitioners within an adequate time frame, and whereas this constitutes the main objective of its work,
M. ker se rešitve za težave vlagateljev peticij običajno najdejo ob lojalnem sodelovanju med odborom za peticije in Komisijo, državami članicami ter njihovimi regionalnimi in lokalnimi organi, ki skupaj poskrbijo za izvensodna sredstva,
M. whereas the solutions to the concerns of petitioners are generally found as a result of loyal cooperation between the Committee on Petitions, on the one hand, and the Commission, the Member States and their regional and local authorities on the other hand, which together provide non-judicial remedies,
N. ker kljub temu države članice in regionalni ali lokalni organi niso vedno resnično pripravljeni poiskati praktičnih rešitev za težave, na katere opozorijo vlagatelji peticij,
N. whereas, nevertheless, there is not always a clear willingness on the part of Member States and regional or local authorities to find practical solutions to the problems raised by petitioners,
O. ker imajo hkrati vlagatelji peticij, četudi njihove pritožbe niso vedno upravičene, pravico pričakovati razlago in odgovor pristojnega odbora,
O. whereas, moreover, although petitioners' allegations are not always well-founded, the petitioners are entitled to expect an explanation and a response from the committee responsible,
P. ker je treba z okrepljenim medinstitucionalnim usklajevanjem doseči učinkovitejše preusmerjanje nedopustnih peticij nacionalnim organom,
P. whereas enhanced inter-institutional coordination should make the redirection of inadmissible petitions to national authorities, more effective,
Q. ker se lahko peticije označijo za nedopustne, če se ne nanašajo na področje delovanja Evropske unije, proces vlaganja peticij pa za državljane ni način pritožbe proti sklepu pristojnega nacionalnega pravnega ali političnega organa, s katerim se morebiti ne strinjajo,
Q. whereas petitions may be declared inadmissible if they are not concerned with the area of activity of the European Union and whereas the petitions process is not a method to be used by citizens as a means of appealing against decisions taken by competent national legal or political authorities with which they may disagree,
R. ker je bistveno, da si Parlament priskrbi pristojnosti, pravila, postopke in vire za učinkovito in pravočasno odzivanje na prejete peticije,
R. whereas it is essential that the Parliament provide itself with the means, in terms of effective authority, rules, procedures and resources, to respond efficiently and in good time to the petitions received by it,
S. meni, da proces vlaganja peticij lahko pozitivno prispeva k boljši pripravi zakonodaje, zlasti s prepoznavanjem področij, na katerih je po opozorilu vlagateljev pravo EU šibko ali neučinkovito pri doseganju ciljev zadevnih zakonodajnih aktov, in da se ob sodelovanju in pod pristojnostjo pristojnega zakonodajnega odbora to lahko popravi z revizijo teh zakonodajnih aktov,
S. whereas the petitions process can make a positive contribution to better law-making, notably by identifying areas indicated by petitioners where existing EU law is weak or ineffective having regard to the objectives of the legislative act concerned and whereas, with the cooperation and under the authority of the competent legislative committee, such situations can be remedied by revising the legislative acts concerned,
T. ker proces vlaganja peticij tudi pomembno prispeva k prepoznavanju primerov, ko države članice prava Skupnosti ne uporabljajo pravilno, zaradi česar Komisija pogosto sproži postopke za ugotavljanje kršitev po členu 226 Pogodbe o ES,
T. whereas the petitions process also makes a significant contribution to the identification of instances in which Member States are not correctly applying Community law, which in a number of cases leads to the initiation by the Commission of infringement procedures under Article 226 of the EC Treaty,
U. ker je namen postopka za ugotavljanje kršitev zagotoviti, da je zadevna država članica primorana upoštevati obstoječe pravo Skupnosti, o njem pa odloča Komisija brez neposredne udeležbe Parlamenta; opaža pa, da je približno tretjina kršitev povezana s temami, o katerih so bile na Evropski parlament naslovljene peticije,
U. whereas the infringement procedure is designed to ensure that the Member State concerned is made to comply with existing Community law and is moreover decided upon at the discretion of the Commission without there being any provision for direct parliamentary involvement in this process, noting, nevertheless, that about one third of infringements are related to issues submitted by petitioners to the European Parliament,
V. ker ni nujno, da postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev, čeprav uspešen, neposredno izboljša stanje v specifičnih primerih, na katere opozarjajo posamezni vlagatelji peticij; ker to ogroža zaupanje državljanov v zmožnost institucij EU, da izpolnijo njihova pričakovanja,
V. whereas an infringement procedure, even if successful, may not directly provide redress in relation to the specific issues raised by individual petitioners, whereas this undermines citizens' confidence in the EU institutions' ability to meet their expectations,
W. ker je Parlament v letu 2007, ko se je članstvo v odboru povečalo s 25 na 40 članov, zabeležil 1506 prejetih peticij (kar je 50-odstotno povečanje v primerjavi z letom 2006), od katerih pa jih je bilo 1089 označenih na nedopustne,
W. whereas in 2007, when the membership of the Committee on Petitions was increased from 25 to 40, Parliament registered 1 506 petitions (representing a 50% increase compared to 2006), of which 1 089 were declared admissible,
X. ker ugotavlja, da je leta 2007 na sejah odbora sodelovalo 159 vlagateljev peticij, pri čemer niso všteti številni drugi, ki so bili navzoči zaradi spremljanja postopkov,
X. recording that in 2007 a total of 159 petitioners participated in meetings of the Committee on Petitions, not including many others who were present to observe proceedings,
Y. ker je bilo leta 2007 organiziranih šest obiskov za ugotavljanje dejstev, in sicer v Nemčijo, Španijo, na Irsko, Poljsko, v Francijo in na Ciper, o katerih so bila pripravljena poročila in priporočila, ki so bila kasneje posredovana vsem zainteresiranim, zlasti vlagateljem peticij,
Y. whereas six fact-finding visits were organised in 2007 to Germany, Spain, Ireland, Poland, France and Cyprus, as a result of which reports were prepared and recommendations made which were subsequently sent to all interested parties and in particular to the petitioners,
Z. ker je bilo organiziranih devet rednih sej odbora, na katerih so ob dragoceni pomoči predstavnikov Komisije razpravljali o 500 posameznih peticijah, vsi vlagatelji pa so bili obveščeni o rezultatih obravnave,
Z. whereas nine full committee meetings were organised at which over 500 individual petitions were debated, with the valuable assistance of representatives of the Commission, all petitioners being informed of the outcome,
AA. ker so sodeč po obravnavanih peticijah prednostna področja, ki povzročajo zaskrbljenost državljanov EU, tale: okolje in njegova zaščita, vključno s slabostmi direktive o presoji vplivov na okolje, okvirne direktive o vodah, direktive o pitni vodi, direktiv o odpadkih, direktive o habitatih, direktive o pticah, direktive o pranju denarja in drugih, ki se nanašajo na splošno zaskrbljenost glede onesnaževanja in podnebnih sprememb, pravice posameznikov in pravica do zasebne lastnine, finančne storitve, prosto gibanje in pravice delavcev, vključno s pokojninskimi pravicami in drugimi socialnimi določbami, prost pretok blaga in obdavčitev, priznavanje poklicnih kvalifikacij, svoboda ustanavljanja in domnevna diskriminacija na podlagi državljanstva, spola ali pripadnosti manjšini,
AA. whereas the priority areas of concern to EU citizens, as expressed in the petitions process, focus on the following issues: the environment and its protection, including the weakness of Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, the Water Framework Directive, the Drinking Water Directive, the Waste Directives, the Habitats Directive, the Birds Directive, the Money Laundering Directive and others, and including general concerns about pollution and climate change, individual and private property rights, financial services, free movement and rights of workers including pension rights and other social provisions, free movement of goods and taxation, recognition of professional qualifications, freedom of establishment and allegations of discrimination on grounds of nationality, gender or membership of a minority,
AB. ker so tematike peticij in njihovo preučevanje leta 2007 zajemali najpomembnejša aktualna vprašanja, namreč podnebne spremembe, biološko raznovrstnost, pomanjkanje vode, ureditev finančnih storitev in oskrbo Evropske unije z energijo,
AB. whereas the subject matter of petitions and the course of their examination in 2007 involved major contemporary issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, regulation of financial services and the European Union's energy supply,
AC. ker se zavedamo trajnih in konstruktivnih odnosov med evropskim varuhom človekovih pravic, ki je pristojen za obravnavo pritožb državljanov glede domnevnih nepravilnosti pri dejavnostih institucij EU, in odborom za peticije, ki Parlamentu redno poroča o njegovem letnem ali posebnih poročilih – ta so varuhova zadnja možnost, kadar njegova priporočila niso upoštevana, med katerimi je eno iz leta 2007,
AC. bearing in mind the permanent and constructive relations established between the European Ombudsman, who has the responsibility to investigate citizens' complaints regarding allegations of maladministration in the EU institutions, and the Committee on Petitions, which reports regularly to Parliament on the Ombudsman's Annual Report or on Special Reports – which remain the Ombudsman's last means of action when his recommendations are not followed – of which there was one in 2007,
AD. ker je konferenca predsednikov 15. novembra 2007 s sklepom zavrnila zahtevo pristojnega odbora za odobritev poročila o posebnem poročilu varuha človekovih pravic Parlamentu o nepravilnosti v Evropskem uradu za boj proti goljufijam, ki je bila vložena junija 2005,
AD. whereas a request from the committee responsible submitted in June 2005 for authorisation to draw up a report on a Special Report from the Ombudsman to Parliament on maladministration within the European Anti-Fraud Office was refused by a decision of the Conference of Presidents on 15 November 2007,
AE. ob upoštevanju prihodnjega razvoja dogodkov, ko se bo udeležba državljanov EU pri dejavnostih in delu Evropske unije še okrepila, zlasti z uvedbo „državljanske pobude“, predvideno v lizbonski pogodbi, če jo bo ratificiralo vseh 27 držav članic, ki bo omogočila, da več kot milijon državljanov več držav članic vloži predlog za nov zakonodajni akt, in za katero je treba uvesti nove posebne postopke, ki bodo vključevali Komisijo, na katero morajo biti take pobude naslovljene, Parlament in Svet,
AE. bearing in mind future developments which will further enhance the involvement of EU citizens in the activity and work of the European Union, notably by the introduction of the "citizens' initiative" provided for under the Treaty of Lisbon, if ratified by all 27 Member States, which will permit not less than one million individuals from several Member States to call for a proposal for a new legislative act, and for which specific procedures must be introduced involving the Commission, to which such initiatives must be initially addressed, the European Parliament and the Council,
AF. ker daje uspešno in učinkovito delovanje odbora za peticije državljanom jasen znak, da so njihove upravičene skrbi obravnavane, ter vzpostavlja pristno vez med državljani in EU; medtem ko v primeru nesprejemljivih zamud in nepripravljenosti držav članic, da izvedejo zahtevana priporočila, služi zgolj oddaljevanju EU od njenih državljanov ter v številnih primerih potrdi njihovo mnenje o pomanjkanju demokracije,
AF. whereas if the operations of the Committee on Petitions are effective and efficient, this sends a clear signal to citizens that their legitimate concerns are being dealt with and establishes a genuine connection between citizens and the EU; whereas, however, if there are unacceptable delays, and an unwillingness on behalf of Member States to implement the required recommendations in accordance with Community law, this merely serves to increase the distance between the EU and its citizens and in many cases confirms their view that a democratic deficit exists,
AG. ker so imeli člani odbora za peticije v letu 2007 možnost izkoristiti občutno okrepitev podatkovne zbirke in orodja za upravljanje elektronskega vlaganja, ki ga je v sodelovanju s pristojnimi službami za informacijsko tehnologijo razvil sekretariat ter ki vsem članom odborov in političnih skupin omogoča neposreden dostop do vseh peticij in z njimi povezanih dokumentov, zaradi česar lahko učinkoviteje služijo vlagateljem peticij,
AG. whereas in the course of 2007 the members of the Committee on Petitions were able to benefit from the considerable enhancement of the e-Petition database and management tool, developed by its secretariat in collaboration with the service responsible for information technology, which provides all members of the committee and political groups with direct access to all petitions and associated documentation, thus improving their ability to serve petitioners effectively,
AH. vseeno ugotavlja, da Parlament ni zagotovil sredstev, ki so bila zahtevana v lanski resoluciji o delu odbora za peticije, potrebnih za izboljšanje internetnih možnosti za obdelavo peticij, niti ni uveljavil člena 192(2) poslovnika Parlamenta, ki določa, da se „vzpostavi /…/ elektronski register, v katerem lahko državljani izrazijo svojo podporo predlagatelju peticije, tako da dodajo svoj elektronski podpis k peticijam, ki so bile označene za dopustne in vpisane v register“,
AH. noting, nevertheless, that Parliament failed to provide the resources, requested in last year's resolution on the work of the Committee on Petitions, that are needed to improve internet facilities for the petitions process and to give effect to Rule 192(2) of Parliament's Rules of procedures, which provides that an electronic register "shall be set up in which citizens may lend their support to the petitioner, appending their own electronic signature to petitions which have been declared admissible and entered in the register",
AI. ker je pomembno, da so državljani EU ustrezno seznanjeni z delom odbora za peticije, ko se pripravljajo, da bodo na naslednjih volitvah EU, načrtovanih za junij 2009, izvolili nov Parlament;
AI. whereas it is important for EU citizens to be properly informed of the work of the Committee on Petitions as they prepare to vote for a new Parliament in the next EU elections scheduled for June 2009,
2. poudarja, da bo pravni obseg listine o temeljnih pravicah priznan, če bo lizbonska pogodba dokončno ratificirana, kar bo formalno zagotovilo njen neodvisen zavezujoč značaj, ter opozarja, da bo treba predvideti posebne ukrepe, da bi določili, kakšen učinek bo to imelo na pravice državljanov in posledično na delo in pristojnosti odbora za peticije;
Stresses that the legal scope of the Charter of Fundamental Rights will be recognised if the Lisbon Treaty is fully ratified, and that this will formally enshrine its independent binding character, and points out that specific measures will have to be envisaged to determine what effect this will have on citizens' rights and, as a consequence, on the work and competences of the Committee on Petitions;
5. poziva k začetku pogajanj med Evropskim parlamentom in Komisijo z namenom boljšega usklajevanja njihovega dela v zvezi s pritožbami na način, ki bo olajšal, poenostavil in racionaliziral pritožbene postopke ter jih naredil preglednejše in hitrejše; poziva generalnega sekretarja, naj o tem poroča odboru za peticije v roku šestih mesecev;
Calls for the initiation of negotiations between Parliament and the Commission with a view to better coordinating their work on complaints in a way that facilitates, simplifies and streamlines the complaint procedures and makes them more transparent and expeditious; calls on the Secretary-General to report back to the Committee on Petitions within six months;
7. poudarja potrebo po večjem vključevanju Sveta in odbora stalnih predstavnikov držav članic v dejavnosti odbora za peticije ter ju poziva, da v interesu državljanov povečata svojo prisotnost in udeležbo;
Reiterates the need for greater involvement on the part of Council and the Member States' Permanent Representations in the activities of the Committee on Petitions, and urges them to increase their presence and participation in the interests of the citizens;
9. poziva Komisijo, naj v celoti upošteva priporočila odbora za peticije, kadar odloča o sprožitvi postopka za ugotavljanje kršitev proti državi članici, ter ponovno poziva, naj Komisija neposredno in uradno obvesti odbor za peticije, kadar začne postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev, povezan s katero od peticij, ki jih obravnava;
Calls on the Commission to take full account of the recommendations of the Committee on Petitions when reaching decisions regarding the initiation of infringement proceedings against Member States and reiterates its demand that the Committee on Petitions be directly and officially notified by the Commission when an infringement procedure is launched which is related to a petition under consideration by the Committee;
14. priporoča, naj bo prednost podeljena zagotavljanju uspešnosti in učinkovitosti odbora za peticije pri vseh vidikih njegovega delovanja, od začetka do konca, saj je to dejanska in otipljiva zaveza do državljanov, ki kaže, da je EU voljna in zmožna odgovoriti na njihove upravičene skrbi;
Recommends that priority be given to ensuring that the Committee on Petitions is effective and efficient in all aspects of its operations from start to finish, as this represents a real and tangible commitment to its citizens indicating that the EU is willing and able to respond to their legitimate concerns;
19. se popolnoma zaveda, da vlaganje peticij, kot je priznano v Pogodbi, v prvi vrsti služi omogočanju izvensodnih sredstev in rešitev za problematiko, ki jo državljani EU izpostavijo v političnem procesu; v tem smislu pozdravlja dejstvo, da so rezultati v številnih primerih zadovoljivi;
Fully recognises that the petitions process, as recognised in the Treaty, is nevertheless primarily concerned with obtaining non-judicial remedies and solutions with regard to the problems raised by EU citizens through the political process and, in this context, welcomes the fact that in many instances satisfactory outcomes are achieved;
24. ponavlja, da ostaja zavezan priznavanju pravic državljanov EU do zakonito pridobljene zasebne lastnine in obsoja vse poskuse, da bi družinam odvzeli njihovo lastnino brez ustreznega procesa, prave odškodnine ali spoštovanja njihovega osebnega dostojanstva; ugotavlja, da o tej temi prejema vedno več peticij, leta 2007 jih je bilo največ v zvezi s Španijo, seznanjen pa je tudi s poročilom in priporočili obiska za ugotavljanje dejstev, ki ga je odbor za peticije izvedel¹, da bi že tretjič raziskal to problematiko; ugotavlja, da še vedno tečejo postopki za ugotavljanje kršitev v zvezi z direktivami o javnih naročilih;
Reaffirms its commitment to upholding the recognition of rights of EU citizens to their private property which has been legally obtained and condemns all attempts to divest families of their property without due process, proper compensation or respect for their personal integrity; notes an increase in the numbers of petitions received on this issue, especially regarding Spain in 2007, and notes also the report and recommendations of the fact-finding visit conducted by the Committee on Petitions 1 to investigate the problem for the third time; notes that, as regards the Public Procurement Directives, ongoing infringement procedures are still open;
DT 699755. leta 2007 in še posebej poziva francoske oblasti, naj odločno ukrepajo in zagotovijo skladnost z direktivami EU, saj obstaja tveganje, da bodo kršene, če bo dovoljena izvedba načrtovanih projektov za gradnjo mostov čez Loaro, pri čemer je treba upoštevati, da dolina te reke ni zaščitena samo z direktivama o habitatih in o pticah, ampak tudi v okviru Unesca kot območje svetovne dediščine in eden zadnjih evropskih divjerečnih sistemov;
DT 699755. , in 2007, and in particular requests the French authorities to act decisively to ensure compliance with EU directives which risk being infringed should certain planned projects for the construction of bridges over the River Loire be allowed to go ahead, bearing in mind that the Loire Valley is not only protected under the terms of the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive but is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe's last remaining wild river systems;
