Prehod na novo institucionalno stvarnost, ki je posledica oblikovanja mesta visokega predstavnika, je povzročila nekaj težav v zadnjih dnevih pogajanj, pri čemer si je Evropski parlament želel zagotoviti vse pravice v zvezi z začasnim imenovanjem takoj po začetku veljavnosti pogodbe (predvidene za 1. januar 2009) in imenovanjem novega visokega predstavnika novembra 2009 ob sestavi prihodnje Komisije po evropskih volitvah.
The transition to the new institutional situation resulting from the creation of the office of High Representative gave rise to a number of problems in the final days of the negotiations, with the EP endeavouring to safeguard its full prerogatives under two possible scenarios, either that of a temporary appointment immediately after the entry into force of the Treaty (scheduled for 1 January 2009), or the appointment of the new High Representative when the next Commission is constituted, in November 2009, following the European elections.
Evropskemu parlamentu je zadostila izjava (št. 12), sprejeta oktobra na zasedanju Evropskega sveta v Lizboni. .
A declaration (No 12) adopted at the Lisbon European Council guarantees Parliament’s rights. .
(3) Te določbe v bistvenem delu ustrezajo tistemu, kar je Evropski parlament že dolgo zagovarjal: visoki predstavnik bo namreč lahko okrepil skladnost in učinkovitost mednarodne dejavnosti Unije, spodbujal nastanek resnične skupne zunanje politike, izboljšal prepoznavnost Unije na mednarodni ravni, ker ji bo dal „podobo“.
(3) These provisions essentially correspond to what the European Parliament had long been calling for: the High Representative will indeed be able to increase the coherence and efficiency of the Union's international action, promote the emergence of a genuine common foreign policy and raise the Union's international profile by giving it a 'face'.
Trojna politična odgovornost visokega predstavnika do Evropskega parlamenta, Sveta in predsednika Evropske komisije je pozitivna.
The threefold political accountability of the High Representative, to the European Parliament, the Council and the President of the Commission, is positive.
Vendar so mogoči morebitni spori med visokim predstavnikom in predsednikom Komisije ali predsednikom Evropskega sveta, medtem ko se zaradi hibridnega statusa lahko znajde v zadregi glede lojalnosti med Svetom in Komisijo.
But potential conflicts between the High Representative and the President of the Commission or the President of the European Council remain possible, and his or her hybrid status may give rise to conflicts of loyalty between the Council and Commission.
Uredbo Evropski parlament in Svet sprejmeta po rednem zakonodajnem postopku, bodisi na predlog Komisije in po posvetovanju s Sodiščem bodisi na zahtevo Sodišča in po posvetovanju s Komisijo. .
Adopted by Parliament and the Council by means of the ordinary legislative procedure, either on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the Court of Justice, or at the request of the Court of Justice and after consulting the Commission. .
Čeprav ni velikih sprememb v sestavi in organizaciji Evropskega sodišča in Visokega sodišča, kar zadeva postopek imenovanja sodnikov in javnih pravobranilcev, opažamo uvedbo predhodne faze: preden države članice imenujejo kandidate, ki jih določijo vlade, jih zasliši odbor, pristojen za ocenjevanje primernosti kandidatov za izvajanje njihovih nalog.
Although there are no major changes in the composition and organisation of the Court of Justice and the General Court (Court of First Instance), a preliminary stage is introduced into the procedure for appointing judges and advocates-general: before being appointed by the Member States, the candidates nominated by the governments will be heard by a committee with a remit to assess the candidates' suitability to perform their duties.
Odbor sestavlja sedem članov (nekdanjih članov Sodišča ali članov najvišjih nacionalnih sodišč in priznanih pravnikov), enega od njih predlaga EP.
This committee will have seven members (former Members of the Court of Justice or national supreme courts and jurist with acknowledged expertise), including one proposed by Parliament.
Akti Evropskega sveta in agencij bodo odslej zavezani sodni presoji zakonitosti.
In future, acts of the European Council and of the agencies will be subject to judicial review to ensure their legality.
Akti, sprejeti na področju pravosodnega sodelovanja v kazenskih zadevah in policijskega sodelovanja, so lahko v celoti predmet sodnega postopka, razen kar zadeva nadzor veljavnosti in sorazmernosti policijskih operacij in tudi izpolnjevanje obveznosti držav članic na področju vzdrževanja javnega reda in miru ter varovanja notranje varnosti.
There will be no restrictions on the bringing of actions against acts adopted in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation, except as regards reviewing the validity and proportionality of police operations and the exercise by States of their responsibilities for maintaining public order and internal security.
Nazadnje, čeprav akti, sprejeti na področju skupne zunanje in varnostne politike, ne morejo biti predmet takšne pritožbe, je Sodišče vseeno pristojno za razsojanje o zakonitosti evropskih odločitev, ki predvidevajo omejevalne ukrepe zoper fizične in pravne osebe.
Finally, although the acts adopted in the field of the common foreign and security policy cannot in themselves be the subject of legal proceedings, the Court nonetheless has jurisdiction to consider the legality of European decisions providing for restrictive measures against legal and natural persons.
Sodišče lahko tudi razsoja o tem, ali ukrep spada na področje skupne zunanje in varnostne politike ali v druge dejavnosti Unije.
It may also rule whether a measure falls within the scope of the CFSP or is covered by other Union competences.
(1) Določbe o Evropski centralni banki (dvignjeni na raven institucije Unije) in Računskem sodišču ostajajo skoraj nespremenjene, vendar je novost v primerjavi z ustavo ta, da sta ti dve instituciji zdaj na seznamu institucij, ki so vključene v novi člen 13 spremenjene Pogodbe o Evropski uniji.
(1) The provisions concerning the European Central Bank (elevated to the rank of an institution of the Union) and the Court of Auditors remain virtually unchanged, although one innovation by comparison with the Constitution is that these two institutions now appear in the list of institutions included in the new Article 13 of the amended TEU.
Poleg tega ugotavljamo, da člane izvršilnega odbora banke odslej imenuje Svet, ki odloča s kvalificirano večino in ne več soglasno.
Moreover, it may be noted that the members of the Bank's Executive Board are in future to be appointed by the Council acting by a qualified majority and no longer unanimously.
(2) V zvezi z Odborom regij in Ekonomsko-socialnim odborom ugotavljamo, da Odbor regij pridobi pravico, da zaradi kršitve načela subsidiarnosti sproži pravni postopek zoper zakonodajne akte, za katere lizbonska pogodba predvideva posvetovanje z njim.
(2) As regards the Committee of the Regions and the Economic and Social Committee , the Committee of the Regions acquires the right to bring an action on grounds of a violation of the principle of subsidiarity by a legislative act for the adoption of which the Treaty of Lisbon requires it to be consulted.
Tako lahko zaključimo, da kljub nekaterim vidikom, za katere ne moremo vnaprej oceniti učinkovitosti predlaganih sprememb, lizbonska pogodba pojasnjuje in krepi sposobnost institucij ter hkrati ohranja „metodo Skupnosti“ in institucionalno ravnovesje, kar mora Uniji omogočiti, da se odzove na nov položaj, ki je nastal zaradi širitve, in se uveljavi v mednarodnih okvirih.
It may thus be concluded that, despite certain aspects with regard to which it is not possible to judge in advance how effective the proposed changes will be, the Treaty of Lisbon succeeds in clarifying and enhancing the capacity of the institutions whilst preserving the 'Community method' and the institutional balance, which should enable the Union to respond to the new situation arising from enlargement and assert itself in the international arena.
Akti in postopki: doslednejši, natančnejši in razumljivejši, a nepopoln, sistem
Acts and procedures: a more coherent, precise and comprehensible system
Nova pogodba dosega pomemben napredek pri poenostavljanju in racionalizaciji postopkov odločanja in instrumentov ukrepanja.
The new Treaty brings about significant progress in terms of simplification and rationalisation of decision-making procedures and instruments for action.
Pridobitve, kar zadeva učinkovitost postopkov in njihovo demokratično legitimnost, so očitne.
The gains as regards the efficiency of procedures and their democratic legitimacy are obvious.
Na žalost so se s pogodbo države članice odločile, da opustijo spremembe terminologije, ki jih je uvedla ustava in so pomembne, da se državljanu omogoči boljše razumevanje tega, kdo odloča o čem v Uniji in kako.
Unfortunately, at the same time the Member States decided to abandon the changes in terminology introduced by the Constitution, which were important in order to enable citizens to understand more clearly who decides what in the Union and how.
Evropski parlament lahko le obžaluje to nazadovanje, ki pomeni bistveno izgubo v smislu preglednosti.
Parliament can only criticise this backward step, which entails a significant loss of transparency.
Ohranja se razlika med zakonodajnimi in izvedbenimi akti, določena v ustavi, kar je zelo vzpodbudno, vendar se je terminologija ustavne pogodbe za zakonodajne akte, zakon in okvirni zakon opustila, kar ni v skladu s preglednostjo.
The distinction drawn in the Constitution between legislative acts and implementing acts is retained, which is very welcome, but the terminology used in the Constitutional Treaty for legislative acts, law and framework law, has been abandoned, which runs counter to the goal of transparency.
Izrazi, določeni v ustavi, so bili preprosti in jasni, pri čemer je oznaka evropski/evropska, dodana vsaki od teh vrst, državljanu omogočala razumeti, za kaj gre, ker imajo ti izrazi ustreznico v terminologiji, ki se uporablja v večini držav članic (zakon je normativni akt, ki izhaja iz parlamenta, uredba je normativni akt izvršilnega organa ali lokalne uprave), s čimer se je odpravila dosedanja terminološka nejasnost in nenatančnost.
The terms provided for in the Constitution were simple and clear, and the designation 'European' added to each category would have enabled the public to understand precisely what was meant, since the terms correspond to the terminology used in most Member States (a law is a set of rules emanating from parliament, a regulation is a set of rules adopted by the executive or a local administration), putting an end to the confusion and terminological imprecision which have prevailed until now.
Namesto tega bomo za imenovanje zakonodajnih aktov ohranili izraze uredba in direktiva, ki se bodo uporabljali tudi za nezakonodajne akte, z dodano oznako „izvedbeni“ (ali „delegirani“) za ločevanje od zakonodajnih aktov.
Instead, the terms regulations and directives will be retained for legislative acts, but will also be used to describe non-legislative acts, with the addition of the adjective ‘implementing’ (or ‘delegated’) to distinguish them from legislative acts.
Ohranjamo torej nejasen jezik, ki utegne biti za državljane izraz birokratske in nepregledne oblasti ter jih lahko zavaja, pri čemer je najbolj očiten nesmisel (vsaj v državah, ki to terminologijo uporabljajo), da se zakonodajni akti imenujejo „uredba“.
The result is thus the retention of language which is both obscure, being likely to make ordinary citizens think first of a bureaucratic, non-transparent authority, and misleading, the most glaring paradox (at least for those countries which use this terminology) being that of calling a legislative act a 'regulation'!
Nova pogodba kljub navedenim terminološkim težavam vzpostavlja hierarhijo zakonodaje .
Despite the terminological problems outlined above, the new Treaty also establishes a hierarchy of instruments .
Čeprav je splošno pravilo, da izvajanje evropskih odločitev pripada državam članicam, je Komisija jasno priznana kot evropski izvršilni organ, katerega naloga je sprejemati ukrepe, potrebne za izvajanje zakonodajnih aktov na evropski ravni, Svet pa le izjemoma opravlja izvršilne naloge, ko pogodba to izrecno določa ali ko zakonodajni akti to podrobno določajo in ustrezno utemeljujejo.
And although the general rule is that implementation of European decisions is a matter for the Member States, the Commission is clearly recognised as the European executive, with the duty to take the necessary measures to implement legislative acts at European level, whilst the Council only exceptionally assumes executive responsibilities, in those cases where the new Treaty expressly so determines, or when legislative acts, stating due reasons, so specify.
Oblikovanje skupine delegiranih uredb , ki jih zakonodajna oblast (Evropski parlament in Svet) zaupa Komisiji, bo lahko izboljšalo učinkovitost dejavnosti Unije, ker omogoča, da je zakonodajalec oproščen strokovnih podrobnosti, ki jih je izvršilni organ sposoben hitreje in ustrezneje obravnavati; oblikovanje spremljajo nujno potrebna jamstva nadzora, ki ga izvaja zakonodajna oblast (zlasti prek mehanizmov, s katerimi lahko Komisiji prepreči sprejetje ukrepa ali se ji odvzame pooblastilo), pri čemer je Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu zagotovljena enakost.
The creation of a category of delegated regulations , which involve power being delegated by the legislative authority (the European Parliament and the Council) to the Commission, will make the Union's action more efficient, as there will be no need for the legislature to concern itself with technical details which can be dealt with more quickly and appropriately by the executive; delegation of powers is accompanied by the requisite guarantees of scrutiny by the legislative authority (in particular by means of two mechanisms which make it possible either to block the adoption of a measure by the Commission or to revoke the delegation of powers), and complete equality between the European Parliament and the Council is ensured
Pred nami je torej normativna hierarhija, po kateri so (preprosto) uredbe, direktive in sklepi zakonodajni akti, izvedbene uredbe in direktive so normativni akti izvršilnega organa za izvajanje zakonodajnih aktov, medtem ko so lahko sklepi akti izrecno politične narave (na primer sklep Sveta o uporabi premostitve) ali posamezni izvedbeni akti.
We are thus faced with a hierarchy of instruments in which regulations, directives and decisions (not defined any more closely) are legislative acts, implementing regulations and directives are acts adopted by the executive to implement legislative acts, whilst decisions can also be either eminently political acts (the decision by the Council to use a 'bridging clause', for example) or individual implementing acts.
Novi zakonodajni postopki : lizbonska pogodba jasno postavlja v ospredje redni zakonodajni postopek (ki ustreza sedanjemu soodločanju); gre za glavni zakonodajni postopek, druge vrste zakonodajnih postopkov so zasnovane kot izjeme („posebni zakonodajni postopki“), ki jih morajo pogodbe izrecno predvidevati.
The new legislative procedures : the Treaty of Lisbon clearly places the emphasis on the ordinary legislative procedure (which corresponds to the existing codecision procedure); this is the legislative procedure par excellence , to which the other types of legislative procedure are conceived as exceptions (‘special legislative procedures’) which must be explicitly provided for in the Treaties.
Za ta postopek sta značilna pobuda Komisije (razen v nekaterih zadevah na področju območja svobode, varnosti in pravice, na katerem si jo deli z najmanj 1/4 držav članic) ter soodločanje Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta (nekaj majhnih sprememb, vnesenih v stari postopek soodločanja, poskuša poudariti popolno enakost med tema dvema institucijama), pri čemer Svet odloča s kvalificirano večino.
The main features of the ordinary legislative procedure are as follows: the power of initiative rests with the Commission (except in the case of certain matters relating to the area of freedom, security and justice, where the Commission shares it with at least one-quarter of the Member States), there is codecision involving the European Parliament and the Council (some small changes which have been made to the old codecision procedure are intended precisely to stress the complete equality between the two institutions), and the Council adopts its decision by a qualified majority.
Posebni zakonodajni postopki , s katerimi ena od institucij sprejme akt s sodelovanjem druge institucije – ki lahko sega od odobritve do navadnega mnenja –, so žal še vedno preveč številni in v nekaterih primerih lahko razumemo izbiro te vrste postopka le kot rezultat popuščanja na pogajanjih medvladnih konferenc.
Regrettably, there are still too many cases in which special legislative procedures apply, whereby one institution adopts an act with the participation of the other institution - which may range from consent to mere consultation - and in some cases it is difficult to see the choice of this type of procedure as anything but the result of concessions made during the negotiations at the Intergovernmental Conferences.
Obstajajo trije primeri zakonodajnih aktov (uredb) Evropskega parlamenta, ki se sprejmejo z odobritvijo Sveta
There are three cases in which the European Parliament may enact legislative acts (regulations) with the consent of the Council.
Primerov zakonodajnih aktov Sveta je 28
In contrast, there are 28 cases in which provision is made for Council legislative acts
Zakonodajni akt o letnem proračunu je predmet posebnega postopka skupnega odločanja Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta ( glej točko 8 spodaj ).
The legislative act containing the annual budget is subject to a special procedure for joint decision-making by the European Parliament and the Council ( cf. point 8 below ).
Kljub tem izjemam je gotovo, da lizbonska pogodba prinaša velik napredek na področju učinkovitosti in demokratične legitimnosti evropske zakonodaje.
Despite these exceptions, the Treaty of Lisbon undeniably represents distinct progress in terms of the efficiency and democratic legitimacy of European law-making.
Ta napredek poleg tega spremlja podoben napredek glede sprejemanja mednarodnih sporazumov, ki jih sklene Unija, zaradi širitve uporabe postopka glasovanja s kvalificirano večino v Svetu in zahteve po odobritvi Evropskega parlamenta (na primer, kar zadeva sporazume, ki vzpostavljajo skupno trgovinsko politiko).
This progress is accompanied by similar advances regarding the adoption of the international agreements concluded by the Union, thanks to the extension of the application of the qualified majority voting procedure in the Council and the requirement that the consent of the European Parliament should be obtained (for example on agreements implementing the common commercial policy).
Finance Unije
The Union 's finances
Eno od vprašanj, ki je botrovalo največ razpravam v konvenciji in medvladni konferenci 2004, je bilo vprašanje reforme sistema financ Unije, zlasti proračunskega postopka.
One of the questions which gave rise to most debate, both at the Convention and at the 2004 Intergovernmental Conference, was reform of the Union's system of finance, particularly the budgetary procedure.
Šlo je za vzpostavitev sistema, ki bi v prihodnje omogočil ustrezno, pregledno in demokratično financiranje Unije, predvsem pa bi utrdil moč Evropskega parlamenta kot veje proračunskega organa, tako da bi mu podelil odločilno besedo pri celotnem proračunu Unije, tudi pri odhodkih, ki so bili do sedaj uvrščeni med „obvezne“, kakršni so, denimo, odhodki skupne kmetijske in ribiške politike.
It was a matter of institutionalising a system which in future would make it possible to finance the Union adequately, transparently and democratically, and particularly for the European Parliament to consolidate its powers as an arm of the budgetary authority by giving it a decisive say on the whole of the EU budget, including expenditure hitherto classified as 'compulsory', such as expenditure on the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy.
Dokončni rezultat, četudi v splošnem pozitiven, je nekoliko spremenila medvladna konferenca 2004, ki ni v celoti sledila predlogom konvencije.
The final result, although positive overall, to some extent represented a change of emphasis by the 2004 Intergovernmental Conference, which did not entirely accept the Convention's proposals.
Vendar ta tema na pogajanjih leta 2007 ni bila obravnavana.
By contrast, this subject was never discussed during the 2007 negotiations.
Konvencija je predlagala preprost in uravnotežen „tristopenjski“ model:
The Convention had proposed a three-stage model which was simple and balanced:
Nasprotno pa je konvencija predlagala, da se ukrepi za izvajanje sistema lastnih sredstev sprejmejo z zakonom Sveta, po pridobitvi privolitve Parlamenta, sprejetim s kvalificirano večino. ; EP bi lahko zgolj dal mnenje;
The Convention, on the other hand, proposed that the measures for the implementation of the own-resources system should be adopted by a Council law adopted by a qualified majority, with the approval of Parliament. ; the EP would only have the power to deliver an opinion;
- Evropski parlament in Svet bi skupaj določala finančne perspektive, ki bi se jim z določitvijo „večletnega finančnega okvira“ podelil ustavni značaj (Svet bi od prvega finančnega okvira po začetku veljavnosti ustave odločal s kvalificirano večino);
- the European Parliament and the Council would decide jointly on the Financial Perspective, which would be constitutionalised under the name 'multiannual financial framework' (the Council would decide by a qualified majority as from the first financial framework after the entry into force of the Constitution);
- obe instituciji bi skupaj določali letni proračun: po prvi obravnavi v vsaki od institucij, ki bi lahko privedla do sklica spravnega odbora, bi v primeru nesoglasja odločal Parlament, če bi imel zelo veliko večino, sicer bi prevladalo stališče Sveta.
- the two institutions would decide jointly on the annual budget: after a first reading in each institution, which could lead to the convening of a conciliation committee, Parliament would have the last word in the event of disagreement, provided that it could muster a very large majority in favour of its position; otherwise, the Council's position would prevail.
To bi pomenilo, da bi države članice ohranile bistven vpliv pri določanju zgornje meje in narave prihodkov Unije, da bi se obe veji proračunskega organa morali sporazumeti o načrtovanju odhodkov in da bi lahko Evropski parlament v primeru nesoglasja glede letnega proračuna imel zadnjo besedo pri celotnih odhodkih (razlikovanje med obveznimi in neobveznimi odhodki je odpravljeno), vedno do zgornje meje finančnega okvira.
This meant that the Member States would continue to hold the key to determining the amount and nature of the Union's revenue, that the two arms of the budgetary authority would have to agree on the programming of expenditure and that, in the event of disagreement on the annual budget, the European Parliament could have the last word on overall expenditure (the distinction between compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure being dropped), albeit within the limits of the ceilings imposed by the financial framework.
V praksi bi bili tako obe instituciji močno spodbujeni k usklajevanju.
In practice, the two institutions would thus have been strongly encouraged to reconcile their views.
