Izboljšanje preglednosti Parlamenta
Improving Parliament's transparency
2. meni, da nosijo tudi poslanci odgovornost za to, da prejmejo uravnotežene informacije; poudarja, da morajo biti poslanci sposobni sprejemati politične odločitve neodvisno od lobistov;

12. opozarja, da mora število lobistov, ki imajo dostop do Parlamenta, ostati zmerno; zato predlaga sprejetje sistema, po katerem se lobisti le enkrat registrirajo pri vseh institucijah, vsaka institucija posebej pa nato odloči, ali jim omogočiti dostop do svojih prostorov, s čimer bi lahko Parlament še naprej omejeval število priponk, ki so na voljo organizaciji ali podjetju, na štiri;
Recalls that the number of lobbyists who have access to Parliament must remain reasonable; suggests, therefore, the adoption of a system under which lobbyists need register only once with all institutions and each institution may decide whether to grant access to its premises, thus allowing Parliament to continue to limit the number of badges provided to each organisation/company to four;

Preglednost političnih institucij je predpogoj za njihovo legitimnost.
Transparency of political institutions is a prerequisite for legitimacy.
Ne bi smelo biti težko preveriti, kako se sprejemajo odločitve, kaj na njih vpliva in končno, kako se dodeljujejo sredstva, tj. davkoplačevalski denar.
It should be easy to scrutinize how decisions are made, what are the influences behind them and finally how resources, i.e. taxpayer’s money, are allocated.
Pravila lobiranja so zato predvsem vprašanje legitimnosti.
Therefore rules for lobbying are ultimately a question of legitimacy.
Ocenjuje se, da je sedaj v Bruslju okoli 15.000 lobistov in 2.500 lobističnih organizacij.
At the moment it is estimated that there are about 15000 lobbyists and 2500 lobby organisations in Brussels.
Če štejemo stalne priponke obiskovalcev in „ekspresne” priponke, deluje v Evropskem parlamentu približno 5.000 lobistov.
Counting permanent visitors’ badges and “express”-badges there are approximately 5000 lobbyists operating in the European Parliament.
Komisija je s svojo pobudo za preglednost v Evropi (ETI) odprla razprave o lobiranju.
The Commission has opened discussions on lobbying by its European Transparency Initiative (ETI).
Glavna zamisel predloga je jasneje določiti udeležence in poti vpliva pri pripravi zakonodajnih aktov in njihovem sprejemanju s strani institucij EU.
The main idea of this proposal is to lay out more openly the actors and influence channels operating when legislative acts are prepared and adopted by the EU institutions.
Komisija predlaga prostovoljni register in kodeks ravnanja za lobiste.
The Commission proposes a voluntary register and a code of conduct for lobbyists.
Parlament register že dejansko ima, kodeks ravnanja pa je določen v členu 4 njegovega poslovnika.
The Parliament already has a de facto mandatory register and a code of conduct provided in article 9(4) in the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament.
Poročilo je odgovor na pobudo za preglednost v Evropi, ki jo je podala Komisija.
This report is a response to the Commission's ETI.
Od Evropskega parlamenta kot sozakonodajalca pa se pričakuje, da bo zavzel odločno stališče o zastopanju interesov v EU.
The European Parliament is, as a co-legislator, expected to take a firm stance on interest representation in the EU.
Pravila lobiranja v Evropskem parlamentu v preteklosti
History of lobby-rules in the European Parliament
Lobiranje je v parlamentarnih razpravah dolgotrajna in sporna zadeva.
Lobbying has been a long-standing and contentious issue in Parliamentary debates.
Stališča se zelo razlikujejo, prav tako pa so različne tradicije v 27 državah članicah.
Positions vary widely and traditions in the 27 Member States are diverse.
V večini držav članic ni nobenih določb, ki bi obravnavale te skupine na parlamentarni ali vladni ravni.
In the majority of Member States there are no provisions at all for dealing with these groups at the parliamentary or governmental level.
Nasprotno mora lobist v ZDA pregledati skoraj 600 strani priročnika, da deluje po pravilih.
On the other hand, in the US a lobbyist needs to read through almost 600 page manual to get everything right.
Vsekakor je sedaj široko soglasje o tem, da interesne skupine zakonodajalcu EU zagotavljajo dragoceno strokovno znanje in izkušnje.
Be as it may, today there is a large consensus that interest groups provide valuable expertise to EU law-making authorities.
Parlament je bil prva evropska institucija, ki je obravnavala pojav vedno večjega števila interesnih skupin na evropski ravni in zlasti posledice tega razvoja na zakonodajni postopek.
The Parliament was the first European institution to address the phenomenon of an increasing number of interest groups at European level and especially about the consequences of this evolution for the legislative process.
Prvo pisno vprašanje o morebitni ureditvi dejavnosti lobiranja je bilo vloženo leta 1989.
A first written question concerning the establishment of a potential regulation of lobbying activities was presented in 1989.
Leta 1991 je Odbor za poslovnik, preverjanje veljavnosti mandatov in imunitet pripravil poročilo s predlogom za kodeks ravnanja in register lobistov.
In 1991, the Committee on the rules of procedure, the verification of the credentials and immunities drafted a report with proposals for a code of conduct and a register of lobbyists.
Kljub težkim razpravam odbora predlogi niso bili predloženi na plenarno zasedanje.
However, after very difficult Committee debates the proposals were not submitted to the Plenary.
Po evropskih volitvah leta 1994 se je razprava o pravilih lobiranja nadaljevala.
After the European elections of 1994 the debate on lobbies’ regulation resumed.
Drugo poročilo omenjenega odbora se je izognilo terminološkim navzkrižjem in se je oprlo na prostovoljno samoopredelitev interesnih skupin.
Another report of the same Committee avoided terminological conflicts and relied on a voluntary self-definition of interest groups.
Predlogi za ureditev so bili manj omejujoči in so veljali za bolj naklonjene lobiranju kot v poročilu iz leta 1993.
Regulatory proposals were less constraining and considered more open to lobbying than those of the 1993 report.
Rodila se je zamisel o registru, v katerem bi bili objavljeni zastopniki interesov in njihovi interesi.
The idea of a register, where interest representatives had to make their activities and interests public was born.
Zastopniki interesov so morali plačati pristojbino za svojo registracijo, spoštovati kodeks ravnanja in se vpisati v register.
Interest representatives were supposed to pay fees for their registration, to respect a code of conduct and to sign the register.
V zameno so dobili dovolilnico za dostop do prostorov Parlamenta in njegovih dokumentov.
In return, they obtained a pass and access to parts of the EP and to its documents.
Januarja 1996 je bilo poročilo na plenarnem zasedanju precej spremenjeno in vrnjeno odboru.
In January 1996 the report was heavily amended in the plenary session and then referred back to the Committee.
Leta 1996 je prišlo do kompromisa.
In July 1996, a compromise was found.
V zvezi s finančnimi interesi morajo sedaj vsi poslanci Evropskega parlamenta podati podrobno izjavo o svojih poklicnih dejavnostih.
With regard to financial interests, each MEP is now required to make a detailed declaration of his professional activities.
Pri opravljanju svojih nalog se morajo vzdržati prejemanja vseh daril ali ugodnosti.
MEPs have to refrain from accepting any gift or benefit in the performance of their duties.
Izjavo o vsaki drugi plačani dejavnosti morajo podati tudi registrirani pomočniki.
Registered assistants also have to make a declaration of any other paid activities.
Ta pravila so bila dodana poslovniku Parlamenta (člen 9 ter prilogi I in IX).
These rules were added to Parliament's Rules of Procedure (Art. 9 and Annexes I and IX).
Nadaljnji praktični koraki so bili storjeni z objavo nekaterih informacij na spletni strani Parlamenta.
Further practical steps were taken later concerning the publication of some of this information on Parliament's webpage.
Sedaj so na voljo seznami registriranih lobistov, izjave poslancev Evropskega parlamenta o finančnih interesih in registriranih pomočnikih.
Today lists of registered lobbyists, of MEPs declarations of financial interests and of registered assistants are available.
Predlog poročevalca
Proposals by the rapporteur
Odbor za ustavne zadeve je v pripravi na to poročilo 8. oktobra 2007 organiziral delavnico o lobiranju v Evropski uniji , da bi pregledali obstoječe razmere zastopanja interesov in dobili odgovore zainteresiranih strani na pobude za preglednost v Evropi, ki jih je podala Komisija.
As a preparation for this report the Committee on Constitutional Affairs organised a workshop on lobbying the European Union on 8 October 2007 in order to survey the present situation of interest representation and to obtain responses from stakeholders to the Commission's ETI.
Pojavila so se pomembna vprašanja, ki jih je v poročilu treba obravnavati.
During the process the rapporteur has identified the following essential questions to be addressed in the report:
Kako opredeliti lobista?
How should a lobbyist be defined?
Komisija opredeljuje lobiranje kot „dejavnosti, ki se opravljajo z namenom vplivati na oblikovanje politike in odločanje v evropskih institucijah”.
The Commission defines lobbying as “activities carried out with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions.”
To je v skladu s členom 9(4) poslovnika Evropskega parlamenta, ki lobiste opredeljuje kot „osebe, ki želijo pogosto vstopati v prostore Parlamenta, da bi posredovali informacije poslancem v okviru njihovega parlamentarnega mandata v svojem interesu ali interesu tretjih oseb”.
This is in line with article 9(4) in the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament defining lobbyists as "persons who wish to enter Parliament's premises frequently with a view to supplying information to Members within the framework of their parliamentary mandate in their own interests or those of third parties".
Poročevalec meni, da ni treba delati bistvenih razlik med tem, če se želijo v Parlamentu predstaviti gospodarstveniki ali naravovarstveniki, če so zastopani interesi proizvajalcev ali potrošnikov ali če v dialogu s poslanci Evropskega parlamenta sodelujejo zasebni ali javni akterji.
The rapporteur is of the opinion that no essential differences are to be made according to whether industrialists or environmentalists are approaching the Parliament, whether producers' or consumers' interests are represented or whether private or public actors are engaged in a dialogue with MEPs.
Poleg tega je treba kot lobiste obravnavati odvetniške družbe, ki sodelujejo pri vplivanju na prihodnjo zakonodajo in ne zastopajo sodnih primerov.
In addition, when law firms are engaged in influencing future law, not representing court cases, they are to be considered as lobbyists.
V kakšnem obsegu naj bo finančno razkritje?
To what extent should there be financial disclosure?
Glavni cilj informacij je zagotoviti, da tisti, ki sprejemajo odločitve, in širša javnost lahko prepoznajo in ocenijo moč najpomembnejših gonilnih sil, ki stojijo za določenimi dejavnostmi lobiranja.
The main objective of this information is to ensure that decision-makers and the general public can identify and assess the strength of the most important driving forces behind a given lobbying activity.
Komisija zahteva naslednje:
The Commission requires the following:
– za poklicne svetovalne službe in odvetniške družbe promet, povezan z lobiranjem v institucijah EU, ter relativno težo glavnih strank;
– for professional consultancies and law firms the turnover linked to lobbying EU institutions, as well as the relative weight of major clients;
– za „notranje” lobiste in poslovna združenja oceno stroškov, povezanih z neposrednim lobiranjem v institucijah EU;
– for "in-house" lobbyists and trade associations an estimate of the cost associated to direct lobbying of EU institutions;
– za nevladne organizacije in skupine strokovnjakov skupni proračun in razčlenitev glede na glavne vire financiranja.
– for NGOs and think-tanks the overall budget and a breakdown of their main sources of funding.
Pojasniti je treba še podrobnosti o tem, kdaj Komisija predloži začasno različico vmesnika svoje podatkovne zbirke in podrobnejše informacije o zahtevanih podatkih.
Details are yet to be clarified when the Commission presents a beta-version of its data base interface and more explicit information on the required data.
Poleg tega finančni podatki niso vedno najboljši način zagotavljanja informacij o obsegu dejavnosti lobiranja.
Furthermore, financial figures are not always the best way to give information on the scale of lobbying activity.
Vprašanja, ki potrebujejo jasen odgovor, so še: katere informacije so koristne za ocenjevanje zunanjega vpliva na zakonodajni postopek in kako jih pridobiti brez kršenja legitimnih pravil o zaupnosti ali preveč obremenjujočih upravnih postopkov.
The questions yet to be answered in a clear way are what information is useful to assess external influences on the legislative process and how they can be acquired without breaking legitimate confidentiality rules or overly burdensome administrative procedures.
Ali naj ima Parlament skupen register s Komisijo?
Should the European Parliament have a common register with the Commission?
Komisija poziva k skupnemu registru za Komisijo in Parlament.
The Commission calls for a common register between the Commission and the Parliament.
Čeprav se instituciji bistveno razlikujeta, kar lahko pripelje do različnih zahtev za lobiste, na primer glede finančnega razkritja, je treba to upoštevati kot upravno vprašanje.
Although the institutions have essential differences and might end up with different requirements for lobbyists, for example on financial disclosure, the question should be seen as administrative.
Poročevalec zato predlaga skupno delovno skupino, ki bi preučila vplive na skupni register.
Therefore the rapporteur proposes a joint working group to consider the implications of a common register.
Ali naj bo register interesnih skupin prostovoljen ali obvezen?
Should the register of interest groups be voluntary or mandatory?
Pravna služba Parlamenta meni, da je sedanji register Parlamenta dejansko obvezen, saj je registracija povezana z možnostjo fizičnega vstopa v prostore Parlamenta.
The Parliament's legal service considers the Parliament's present register de facto mandatory, because registration is linked to physical access to the Parliament premises.
Poročevalec se s to analizo strinja.
The rapporteur agrees with this analysis.
Tudi zato Komisija poziva k skupnemu registru.
This is also why the Commission urges for a common register.
Priponka je močna spodbuda za registracijo.
The badge is a strong incentive to register.
Komisija predlaga finančno razkritje in bolj sistematično spremljanje informacij iz registra.
The Commission proposes financial disclosure and more systematic monitoring of the information provided in the register.
Te novosti so prednostne naloge in jih je treba pravočasno sprejeti.
These innovations are priorities and should be adopted in due time.
Zakonodajni akt o lobiranju bi bil dolgotrajni postopek in se ga zato na tej stopnji ne bi smelo lotiti.
A legislative act on lobbying would be a lengthy process and should not therefore be pursued at this stage.
To je skladno s širokim soglasjem o skupnem registru, „vse na enem mestu”, s Komisijo.
This is in line with the broad consensus on having a common register, a "one-stop-shop" with the Commission.
Uspešnost registra Komisije se ovrednoti po enem letu.
The success of the Commission's register is evaluated after one year.
Lizbonska pogodba bo, če bo ratificirana, določila jasnejšo pravno podlago za zakonodajni akt o lobiranju, če bo to potrebno.
The Treaty of Lisbon, if ratified, will provide a clearer legal basis for a legislative act on lobbying, if this is found necessary.
Ali naj se kršitve kodeksa ravnanja kaznujejo?
Should there be sanctions for breaches of the code of conduct?
V sedanjem sistemu Parlamenta je najvišja kazen črtanje iz registra.
In the present system of the Parliament, the highest sanction is the deletion from the register.
