Obvestilo za bralce
The General Report and its role as a source of information on the activities of the European Union
Namen in vloga splošnega poročila pri obveščanju o dejavnostih Evropske unije
Regular readers of the General Report will have noticed a major change in presentation starting with the 2005 edition, published in February 2006.
Redni bralci splošnega poročila so gotovo opazili, da se je z izdajo iz februarja 2006, v kateri so bile predstavljene dejavnosti Evropske unije v letu 2005, podoba tega dokumenta bistveno spremenila.
Following the adoption of a transitional solution for the 2004 edition the Report now has a new format and is more compact in size and more concise in content.
V primerjavi z leti pred tem in po prehodni rešitvi, uporabljeni pri izdaji za leto 2004, je bila sto publikacijo dejansko uvedena nova oblika, ki je po obsegu bolj zgoščena, po vsebini pa bolj povezana.
This simplification was triggered by a desire for rationalisation, which in turn was largely dictated by the continuing increase in the number of Community languages following successive waves of enlargement, culminating in the de ning moment reached in 2004.
Taka poenostavitev je rezultat želje po racionalizaciji, potrebni v glavnem zaradi še vedno potekajočega povečevanja števila jezikov Skupnosti po zaporednih širitvah Unije in zlasti odločilnem preobratu, ki je nastopil na tem področju leta 2004.
Ensuring fair treatment for all these languages in a report which is required by the Community Treaties and records the activities of all the Union institutions over the course of a whole year re ects a genuine commitment to transparency vis-à-vis members of the public who wish to keep in touch with the life of the European Union.
Zagotavljanje pravične obravnave vseh teh jezikov pri pripravi poročila, zahtevanega na podlagi pogodb Skupnosti in namenjenega dosežkom dejavnosti vseh institucij Unije v vsem letu, pomeni prizadevanje za resnično preglednost za državljane, ki se zanimajo za življenje Evropske unije.
At the same time, the concern to make the General Report more readable has meant changing its focus to concentrate on the highlights of the past year, both general trends and key policy activities, including legislative measures.
Hkrati je osredotočenje splošnega poročila na bistvene elemente, ki jih je treba predstaviti glede splošnih usmeritev in glede ključnih ukrepov, tudi na zakonodajni ravni, pri politikah, ki so bile razvite med letom, odziv na skrb za boljšo berljivost.
From a methodological point of view, this quest for readability goes hand-in-hand with the need to take account of the wider system of information on Union activities available to the public from numerous co-existing sources, including: n the wealth of information now available online on Europa, the ‘Gateway to the European Union’ (http://europa.eu/index_en.htm), which can be consulted using various search criteria — activities by subject, institutions, documents or services (statistics, library, contacts, etc.); n the frequently updated databases on the servers of the various Community institutions (e.g. Commission DG websites) or sources outside the institutions; links to these databases and references to Europa are included among the ‘General references and other useful links’ at the end of each section of the General Report; n the real-time record of events contained in the Bulletin of the European Union; produced by the Commission in three languages (English, French and German) ph701182_RG2006_BT.indb 9
Z metodološkega vidika je ta skrb neločljivo povezana z upoštevanjem celotnega sistema obveščanja o dejavnostih Unije, ki je na razpolago državljanom in za katerega je zlasti značilen soobstoj številnih virov, med katerimi velja poudariti: obilico informacij, ki so danes dostopne po internetu na spletišču Europa. Ta „portal Evropske unije“ (http://europa.eu/index_sl.htm) vsebuje menije, ki omogočajo usmerjeno iskanje po merilih, kot so tematske dejavnosti, institucije, dokumenti ali posamezne storitve (statistični podatki, knjižnica, kontakti itd.), ki zanimajo uporabnika; pogosto posodabljane podatkovne zbirke na strežnikih raznih institucij Skupnosti (na primer spletiščih generalnih direktoratov Komisije) ali iz virov zunaj teh institucij.
NOTE TO READERS and — since the beginning of 2006 — available only in electronic form (http://europa.eu/bulletin/en/welcome.htm), the Bulletin provides a detailed summary of all Community activities, direct references to o cial texts, and hyperlinks to the relevant information and databases; the Bulletin is designed as a monthly review but information is posted online at more frequent intervals, so that readers can learn about all the activities in a given month as and when these updates appear; the Bulletin is therefore an essential companion to the General Report, for which it is also one of the key sources of information; together they form the lynchpin of an information service for readers who want both a general overview of the European Union’s activities and a tool for conducting more detailed research.
Bilten Evropske unije, ki pomeni pravo kroniko v realnem času. Bilten, ki ga izdaja Komisija v treh jezikih (angleščini, francoščini in nemščini) – od začetka leta 2006 izključno v elektronski obliki (http://europa.eu/bulletin/sl/welcome.htm), zagotavlja predvsem sistematičen dostop do vseh dejavnosti Skupnosti, vsebuje neposredne povezave na uradna besedila ter ponuja dinamične povezave na ustrezne informacije in podatkovne zbirke.
With this system of comprehensive coverage, there is no longer any need for detailed information to be systematically reproduced in the General Report, which is now more concise in form and content in line with its dual role of providing a panoramic view of current events and highlighting key trends Union-wide.
Te informacije v obliki mesečnega pregleda so najprej začasno objavljene na internetu v kratkih presledkih, kar omogoča seznanjanje z vsemi dejavnostmi v danem mesecu sproti s temi zaporednimi objavami.
European Union activity in 2006 was in many respects shaped by the major initiative of the previous spring, namely the review and revision of the Lisbon agenda, which was to provide the basis for a genuine partnership for growth and employment.
V številnih pogledih je dejavnosti Evropske unije v letu 2006 zaznamovala pomembna pobuda iz lanske pomladi, in sicer pregled lizbonske strategije ter njena sprememba v pravo partnerstvo za rast in delovna mesta.
Although doubts had surfaced in 2005 following the ‘no’ votes in the referendums in France and the Netherlands on ratification of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, the momentum generated by the relaunched Lisbon strategy was a powerful push factor for progress in several key areas and for ambitious new projects in others.
V letu 2005 se je sicer na splošno pojavilo nekaj dvomov po negativnih rezultatih referendumov v Franciji in na Nizozemskem za ratifikacijo Pogodbe o Ustavi za Evropo. Vendar je bil zagon, ki ga je dala oživitev lizbonske strategije, dovolj močan za napredek na več področjih, na več drugih pa za začetek dela z visoko zastavljenimi cilji.
The last-minute consensus at the December 2005 European Council on the new nancial perspective for 2007–13 was another clear pointer in the same direction.
V zadnjem trenutku dosežen dogovor na zasedanju Evropskega sveta decembra 2005 o novem finančnem okviru za obdobje 2007–2013 je prav tako jasno kazal na takšen razvoj dogodkov.
So the ground was prepared for numerous initiatives to bear fruit in 2006 and, in particular, for a number of important legislative proposals to reach the statute book.
Tako so bile vzpostavljene razmere, da se v letu 2006 pokažejo rezultati večjega števila pobud. Ti rezultati so bili doseženi zlasti z dokončanjem postopkov pri pomembnih zakonodajnih predlogih.
But there was another dynamic which provided inspiration for what was to be achieved in 2006 — the re-opening of the debate on Europe’s role and added value in the 21st century.
Na napredek v letu 2006 pa je na konceptualni ravni vplivala še neka druga dinamika: oživitev razprave o vlogi in dodani vrednosti Evrope v 21. stoletju.
This was the context in which the Commission produced its blueprint for a genuine ‘citizens’ agenda’ and formulated the practical proposals to back it up.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija zasnovala pravo „agendo državljanov“, ki jo spremljajo konkretni predlogi.
This introduction will highlight both the political climate which provided the backdrop for Union action in 2006 and the broad trends in work done to realise the strategic objectives set by the Commission when it took o ce, which are extensively shared by all the Union institutions.
Namen uvoda je v vseh vidikih predstaviti politični okvir, ki je bil podlaga za dejavnosti Evropske unije v letu 2006, pa tudi usmeritve pri uresničevanju strateških ciljev, ki jih je Komisija opredelila na začetku svojega mandata in so v glavnem skupni vsem institucijam Unije.
The fresh air breathed into the better regulation initiative in 2005 was one of the main in uences on Community activities throughout the year.
Na delo Skupnosti je vse leto še zlasti vplival nov zagon, ki so ga leta 2005 dobila prizadevanja za boljšo pripravo zakonodaje.
In November the Commission undertook a strategic review of the better regulation programme.
Novembra je Komisija strateško pregledala program boljše priprave zakonodaje.
Its analysis showed that much remained to be done if the expectations of citizens and businesses were to be met and improved regulation was to make a positive difference to their daily lives. But tangible results were there to be seen in such key areas as further simplifying existing legislation and improving the assessment of new legislative proposals.
Ta analiza je sicer pokazala, da bo treba še veliko narediti, da se bodo izpolnila pričakovanja državljanov in podjetij ter da bodo zaradi izboljšanja priprave zakonodaje nastale dejanske pozitivne razlike v njihovih dejavnostih in vsakdanjem življenju.
And initiatives were taken to attain and reinforce the better regulation objectives, with ph701182_RG2006_BT.indb 11
Vendar so se kljub temu pokazali vidni rezultati na temeljnih področjih, kot sta zlasti nadaljevanje poenostavitve obstoječe
INTRODUCTION the Commission continuing to give priority to ensuring that its proposals are of the highest quality, pressing on with the simplification process and lightening the administrative burden borne by business.
Sprejete bodo pobude za doseganje in krepitev ciljev izboljšanja priprave zakonodaje, prednostne naloge Komisije pa bodo še naprej zagotavljanje čim večje kakovosti predlogov, nadaljevanje procesa poenostavitve ter zmanjšanje upravnih obremenitev zlasti za podjetja.
The strategic analysis was accompanied by two Commission working papers: one, on measuring administrative costs and reducing administrative burdens, sets out a variety of options and ideas to prepare the ground for the action plan that the Commission will be presenting in 2007; and the other reports and updates the 2005 rolling simplification programme.
Strateški pregled sta spremljala dva delovna dokumenta Komisije: prvi, ki se nanaša na merjenje upravnih stroškov in zmanjšanje upravnih obremenitev, opredeljuje različne možnosti in zamisli za pripravo podlage za akcijski načrt, ki ga bo Komisija predstavila leta 2007; drugi je poročilo o napredku in posodobitev tekočega programa poenostavitve iz leta 2005.
Better regulation is a joint responsibility involving not just the Commission but also the other institutions and the Member States, and efforts were made there too.
Pravzaprav je izboljšanje priprave zakonodaje skupna odgovornost, kar pomeni, da so si poleg Komisije tudi druge institucije in države članice prizadevale zanjo na svoji ravni.
Following an agreement between the institutions on a common approach, the European Parliament and the Council have begun conducting their own impact assessments, and have also supported the simplification process.
Tako sta po medinstitucionalnem sporazumu o skupnem pristopu Evropski parlament in Svet začela izvajati svoje ocene učinka. Prav tako sta podprla proces poenostavitve.
And a number of Member States have initiated exemplary action to cut administrative costs.
Nekatere države članice pa so se drugim v zgled zavezale, da bodo zmanjšale upravne stroške.
All these efforts also bore the imprint of another initiative re ecting the growing concern to improve the information ow to Member States’ national parliaments on the elaboration of Community policies.
Vsa ta prizadevanja je zaznamoval še neki drug ukrep, in sicer vedno izrazitejša skrb za boljše obveščanje nacionalnih parlamentov držav članico oblikovanju politik Skupnosti.
At the same time the Commission pressed on with the European transparency initiative launched the previous year, and an extensive public consultation exercise was conducted on the basis of a Green Paper put out in May.
To gibanje je poleg tega spremljala poglobitev pobude za preglednost v Evropi, ki jo je Komisija začela izvajati lani. Z objavo zelene knjige v maju 2006 se je tako začelo obsežno javno posvetovanje.
The June European Council outlined a comprehensive policy on transparency in Council proceedings.
Evropski svet pa je junija oblikoval besedilo o splošni usmeritvi glede preglednosti delovanja Sveta.
More generally, the Commission drew on a White Paper on a European communication policy, published in February, to push on with action begun in 2005 and to issue a mobilisation call to all key players in the European Union.
Bolj na splošno je februarja objavljena bela knjiga o evropski komunikacijski politiki dala Komisiji možnost za napredek na področju, na katerem se je delo prav tako začelo leta 2005, in za poziv k vključitvi vseh zadevnih udeležencev naravni Evropske unije.
The process surrounding the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe continued to make slow progress with further ratifications by some Member States, but another development emerged from the re ection on Plan D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate on the future of Europe, launched by the Commission in 2005.
Proces, povezan s Pogodbo o Ustavi za Evropo, se je počasi nadaljeval z novimi ratifikacijami v nekaj državah članicah, na podlagi razprav, organiziranih glede „načrta D“ za demokracijo, dialog in debato o prihodnosti Evrope, ki ga je Komisija začela izvajati leta 2005, pa se je izoblikovalo novo gibanje.
In May the Commission proceeded from an initial summing-up of the re ection process to present ‘a citizens’ agenda’.
Komisija se je oprla na prvi povzetek razprav in maja predstavila „agendo državljanov“.
This calls for a two-track approach.
Pri tej zamisli zagovarja dve vzporedni dejavnosti.
First, results have to be delivered for Europe by means of a programme of practical measures matching the needs of Europe’s citizens and gaining their support for the European cause: to this end the Commission is proposing a detailed review of the single market to identify what still needs to be done, and an in-depth stocktaking of the realities of European society with a view to deepening the Community’s social dimension.
Po eni strani je treba doseči rezultate za Evropo s programom konkretnih ukrepov, ki se odziva na pričakovanja državljanov in krepi njihovo podporo evropskemu projektu: zato Komisija predlaga poglobljen pregled enotnega trga, da se ugotovi, kaj je treba še narediti na tem področju; prav tako namerava poglobiti socialno razsežnost Skupnosti s pripravo temeljite proučitve realnosti evropske družbe.
And second, the implementation of Union policies must be accompanied by a gradual approach to solve the current institutional difficulties.
Po drugi mora izvajanje politik Unije spremljati postopni pristop za reševanje trenutnih institucionalnih težav.
This two-track approach recommended by the Commission was endorsed by the June European Council.
Na junijskem zasedanju je Evropski svet izrazil zadovoljstvo zaradi tega dvojnega pristopa, ki ga priporoča Komisija.
Meanwhile, a major obstacle to progress was lifted in May with the interinstitutional agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the new nancial framework for Union activity for the period 2007–13. This consensus ph701182_RG2006_BT.indb 12
Vzporedno s tem je bila maja 2006 odstranjena bistvena ovira za napredek, in sicer z medinstitucionalnim sporazumom, ki so ga dosegli Evropski parlament, Svet in Komisija, za vzpostavitev novega finančnega okvira, ki bo podpiral dejavnosti
13 unblocked a series of correlated initiatives for implementing mechanisms (Community funds and programmes) in a wide range of elds.
Evropske unije v obdobju 2007–2013. Ta dogovor je omogočil sprostitev izvajanja številnih medsebojno odvisnih pobud naravni izvedbenih instrumentov (skladi in programi Skupnosti) na mnogih področjih.
As for the actual structure of the Union, nal preparations were made for Bulgaria and Romania to become members on 1 January 2007, raising the total number of Member States to 27.
Poleg tega so bile glede sestave Evropske unije same dokončane zadnje priprave za pristop Bolgarije in Romunije k Uniji s 1. januarjem 2007, ko se bo skupno število držav članic povečalo na sedemindvajset.
In parallel with this ongoing process the Commission, acting at the request of the European Council, launched re ections on the Union’s integration capacity, faced as it is with further applications for membership, and together with the Member States reminded Turkey of the need to full certain commitments if negotiations are to continue.
Vzporedno s tem stalnim razvojem je Komisija na pooblastilo Evropskega sveta začela razpravo o zmogljivosti Unije za vključevanje novih držav zaradi kandidatur za pristop in skupaj z državami članicami opozorila Turčijo, da mora za nadaljevanje pogajanj spoštovati določene obveznosti.
The general enlargement strategy was on the European Council agenda in December.
Splošna strategija širitve je bila sicer tudi na dnevnem redu decembrskega zasedanja Evropskega sveta.
But preparations for another type of enlargement were being made in the eld of economic and monetary union, to result, also on 1 January 2007, in Slovenia becoming the 13th member of the euro area, making it the rst of the 10 new Member States from the 2004 enlargement to adopt the single currency.
Drugačna vrsta širitve pa je bila izpeljana na področju ekonomske in monetarne unije, saj bo prav tako s 1. januarjem 2007 euroobmočje z vključitvijo Slovenije dobilo trinajsto članico, ki tako kot prva od desetih držav iz širitve leta 2004 sprejema enotno valuto.
Also worth noting is that a new component was added to Europe’s identity in April when the new top-level Internet domain ‘.eu’ came into operation with great success.
Prav tako je treba poudariti, da je bila v zvezi z evropsko identiteto v letu 2006 uresničena uvedba novega domenskega imena „.eu“ na internetu, kar je operacija, ki je imela od samega začetka v aprilu velik uspeh.
The strategic objective of prosperity in the European Union remained at the root of measures implementing the partnership for growth and employment as the spearhead of the Lisbon strategy relaunched in 2005.
Strateški cilj blaginje znotraj Evropske unije je ostal trdno zasidran v izvajanju partnerstva za rast in delovna mesta kot gonilne sile v letu 2005 prenovljene lizbonske strategije.
