If the Commission announces that the matter is, or soon will be, covered by a proposal for EU legislation, the standstill period is extended to 12 months.
Če Komisija razglasi, da je ali bo kmalu to vprašanje obravnavala s predlogom za zakonodajo EU, se obdobje mirovanja podaljša na 12 mesecev.
These standstill arrangements do not apply if a Member State shows that it has to draw up national technical regulations very quickly in ‘serious and unforeseeable circumstances’ relating to public health and safety, the protection of animals or the preservation of plants.
Ti dogovori o mirovanju ne veljajo, če država članica dokaže, da mora nacionalne tehnične predpise pripraviti zelo hitro zaradi „resnih in nepredvidenih okoliščin“, povezanih z javnim zdravjem in varnostjo, zaščito živali ali ohranjanjem rastlin.
Otherwise, a Member State that adopts a technical regulation within a standstill period or without modifying it in response to questions raised about it, may expect infringement proceedings to be brought against it by the Commission.
Sicer pa lahko država članica, ki v obdobju mirovanja sprejme tehnični predpis ali pa ga ne spremeni na podlagi predloženih pomislekov, pričakuje, da bo Komisija proti njej sprožila postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev.
National rules implementing EU rules
Nacionalni predpisi za izvajanje predpisov EU
Some EU rules apply straightaway without the need for action by the Member States.
Nekateri predpisi EU se začnejo uporabljati takoj, brez potrebe po ukrepanju držav članic. medtem ko je treba druge izvesti z nacionalno zakonodajo.
Others must be implemented by national legislation.
Da bi se izognila poznejšim težavam, Komisija pomaga državam članicam pri izvajanju že od samega začetka.
To avoid problems later on, the Commission helps the Member States to get
Kako? Organizira srečanja, na katerih razpravljajo o tem, kako bi se tega najbolje lotili, včasih pa zagotovi tudi pisna navodila.
National rules in force
Veljavni nacionalni predpisi
When national rules that are already in force start causing problems for the free movement of goods, the Commission may come to hear of it through press coverage or a complaint.
Kadar že veljavni nacionalni predpisi začnejo povzročati težave pri prostem pretoku blaga, je lahko Komisija o tem obveščena prek poročil tiska ali pritožbe.
The Commission will verify the facts and if the national rules are not compatible with EU law, will ask the Member State to resolve the problem.
Komisija preveri dejstva in če nacionalni predpisi niso skladni z zakonodajo Skupnosti, od države članice zahteva, da problem reši.
If a Member State is uncooperative or wishes to defend its national law, the matter may be brought before the European Court of Justice.
Če država članica noče sodelovati ali zagovarja svojo nacionalno zakonodajo, se lahko zadeva predloži Sodišču Evropskih skupnosti.
If a Member State loses before the Court, it may be fined if it does not comply with the judgement.
Če država članica postopek pred Sodiščem izgubi in sodbe ne izvrši, je lahko kaznovana z globo.
Managing the Single Market for goods
Upravljanje enotnega trga blaga
The EU is a club and all the Member States have agreed to abide by its rules.
Evropska unija je klub in vse države članice se strinjajo, da bodo spoštovala njegova pravila.
The success of the EU depends on the willingness of the Member States to cooperate with one another and with the EU institutions.
Uspeh EU je odvisen od pripravljenosti držav na medsebojno sodelovanje in sodelovanje z institucijami EU.
To heighten Member States’ sense of ownership of, and responsibility for, the free movement of goods in the Single Market, the Community is encouraging them to take on more supervisory tasks.
Da bi se države članice bolj zavedale svojega lastništva nad prostim pretokom blaga na enotnem trgu in odgovornosti zanj, jih Skupnost spodbuja k prevzemu večjega števila nadzornih nalog.
Citizens and businesses should be able to enjoy the advantages conferred on them by EU rules without seeking intervention by the Commission.
Državljani in podjetja bi morali uživati ugodnosti, ki jim jih prinašajo predpisi EU, brez potrebe po posredovanju Komisije.
National administrations – and failing that, national courts – must be capable of dealing effectively with the vast majority of problems encountered by citizens and businesses.
Državne uprave – če ne te, pa nacionalna sodišča – morajo biti dovolj sposobni, da se lahko učinkovito spopadejo z veliko večino težav, s katerimi se srečujejo državljani in podjetja.
The EU can help by strengthening links with the Member States in the enforcement field, seconding staff to the Member States and organising training of national officials and judges.
EU lahko pomaga tako, da poglobi stike z državami članicami na področju izvrševanja, začasno dodeli osebje v države članice ter organizira usposabljanje državnih uradnikov in sodnikov.
Member States can also help each other by improving their channels of communication and by exchanging ideas, practices and even staff.
Države članice lahko druga drugi pomagajo tudi tako, da izboljšujejo svoje komunikacijske kanale ter izmenjujejo ideje, prakse in celo osebje.
The Single Market promotes European values abroad
Enotni trg spodbuja evropske vrednote v tujini
We have seen how the Single Market enables goods to circulate within the European Union as freely as is compatible with upholding certain values which underpin European society such as public health and safety, animal and plant health, the environment and consumer protection.
Videli smo, kako enotni trg omogoča prosto kroženje blaga znotraj Evropske unije do mere, ki je v skladu s podporo določenimi vrednotam, ki so temelj evropske družbe, kot so javno zdravje in varnost, zdravje živali in rastlin ter varstvo okolja in potrošnikov.
The Single Market manages to pull off this difficult balancing act very well.
Enotni trg je zelo uspešen pri vzpostavljanju tega težavnega ravnotežja.
Thanks in large part to the 500 million consumers in the Single Market this ability to reconcile various important and sometimes competing interests also has considerable influence far beyond the external borders of the European Union.
Predvsem zaradi 500 milijonov potrošnikov na enotnem trgu ima ta sposobnost usklajevanja različnih pomembnih in včasih nasprotujočih si interesov znaten vpliv daleč preko zunanjih meja Evropske unije.
The Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade
Sporazum o tehničnih ovirah v trgovini
This Agreement, concluded by the member countries of the World Trade Organisation, enables those countries to be notified at an early stage of possible new technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures which may impede access to export markets.
Ta sporazum, ki so ga podpisale države članice Svetovne trgovinske organizacije, tem državam omogoča, da so že zgodaj obveščene o morebitnih novih tehničnih predpisih ali postopkih ugotavljanja skladnosti, ki bi lahko ovirali dostop do izvoznih trgov.
It allows them to react quickly to prevent discriminatory or overly restrictive regulations being adopted.
Omogoča jim, da se hitro odzovejo in preprečijo sprejemanje diskriminacijskih ali preveč omejevalnih predpisov.
Of 874 notifications in 2006, 764 were from countries outside the EU.
Od 874 priglasitev v letu 2006 jih je bilo 764 iz držav zunaj EU.
This is an increase of 12% over 2005 which had seen an increase of 25% over the 2004 figure.
Tako se je od leta 2005 število povečalo za 12 %, medtem ko se je od leta 2004 do 2005 povečalo za 25 %.
The biggest notifiers were the USA (64), Kenya (64), China (63), Canada (35) and Japan (33).
Največ priglasitev so predložile ZDA (64), Kenija (64), Kitajska (63), Kanada (35) in Japonska (33).
Most notifications related to the following goods: foodstuffs & agricultural products, chemicals, electrical & mechanical equipment and health and body care products. In 2006, the Commission (acting on behalf of the EU) reacted to notifications 53 times, mainly in relation to the USA, China, Taiwan, India, and Japan.
Leta 2006 se je Komisija (ki deluje v imenu EU) v 53 primerih odzvala na priglasitve, večinoma v zvezi z ZDA, Kitajsko, Tajvanom, Indijo in Japonsko.
Given the high number of notifications, the EU gives priority to examining those relating to certain product sectors and from certain countries.
Glede na visoko število priglasitev daje EU prednost preučevanju tistih, ki se nanašajo na določene proizvodne panoge in so iz določenih držav.
Reactions are prepared on the basis of contributions from the Commission services, Member States and stakeholders.
Odzivi se pripravijo na podlagi prispevkov služb Komisije, držav članic in zainteresiranih strani.
So, does it work?
Ali to deluje?
Below are some examples of the results of the EU’s reactions to notifications under the Agreement –
V nadaljevanju je nekaj primerov posledic odzivov EU na priglasitve v skladu s Sporazumom:
China explained and significantly altered its proposed legislation on the control of pollution by electronic information products;
Kitajska je pojasnila in precej spremenila svojo predlagano zakonodajo o nadzoru onesnaževanja zaradi elektronskih informacijskih proizvodov;
Brazil aligned a draft regulation on vegetable fats and oils with the standard used by the EU;
Brazilija je osnutek zakonodaje o rastlinskih maščobah in oljih uskladila s standardom, ki se uporablja v EU;
Korea will draw up a list of hazardous substances identical to that in EU legislation on end-of-life-vehicles and electrical and electronic equipment.
Koreja bo pripravila seznam nevarnih snovi, ki so popolnoma enake kot tiste v zakonodaji EU o izrabljenih vozilih ter električni in elektronski opremi.
Unnecessary burdens on the automobile sector were deleted;
Nepotrebne obremenitve avtomobilske panoge so bile izbrisane;
Armenia amended its proposed legislation on spirits to take account of the EU geographic indication ‘cognac’;
Armenija je spremenila svoj predlog zakonodaje o alkoholnih pijačah, da bi upoštevala geografsko označbo, veljavno v EU –„konjak“; „konjak“;
Of course the Agreement is a two way street.
Seveda pa je ta sporazum dvorezen meč.
The EU also notifies its own draft regulations (41 in 2006).
EU priglasi tudi svoje osnutke zakonodaje (41 v letu 2006).
Reactions came mainly from China (toys, lighters, batteries, pyrotechnic articles, food additives) but also from the USA (use of oak chips in winemaking) and the Philippines (fire resistance of cables).
Na to so se odzvali predvsem Kitajska (igrače, vžigalniki, baterije, pirotehnični proizvodi, aditivi za živila) pa tudi ZDA (uporaba trsk iz hrastovega lesa v vinarstvu) in Filipini (požarna odpornost kablov).
Regulatory convergence
Zbliževanje zakonodaj
In its bilateral relations the EU enthusiastically promotes regulatory convergence with both its main trading partners and countries bordering the external frontiers of the EU.
EU v svojih dvostranskih odnosih z navdušenjem spodbuja zbliževanje zakonodaj z obema glavnima trgovinskima partnerjema ter z državami, ki mejijo na zunanje meje EU.
In the USA, this work is going on in cooperation with the FDA in several industrial sectors, such as cosmetics and medical devices, in the context of Transatlantic Economic Co-operation.
V ZDA potekajo te dejavnosti v okviru čezatlantskega gospodarskega sodelovanja, in sicer s sodelovanjem Urada za živila in zdravila v različnih industrijskih panogah, kot sta kozmetika in medicinski pripomočki.
In China, approaches are being made to ministries in charge of regulatory affairs with a view to developing regulatory convergence in these industrial sectors on public health issues in the medium term.
Na Kitajskem se vzpostavljajo stiki z ministrstvi, pristojnimi za zakonodajne zadeve, z namenom srednjeročnega zbliževanja zakonodaj v teh industrijskih panogah glede vprašanj javnega zdravja.
Involvement in international organisations and fora
Udeležba v mednarodnih organizacijah in forumih
The Community is becoming a more and more active partner in technical organisations, for example the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UNECE) which is increasingly adopting requirements on the safety and environmental performance of motor vehicles that were originally developed for the EU single market.
Skupnost postaja vse bolj dejavna partnerica v tehničnih organizacijah, kot je Gospodarska komisija ZN za Evropo, ki sprejema vedno več zahtev glede varnosti in okoljevarstvene učinkovitosti motornih vozil, prvotno izdelanih za enotni trg EU.
The EU is continuing its efforts to assimilate EU and UN requirements.
EU nadaljuje svoja prizadevanja za poenotenje zahtev EU in ZN.
Participation by the EU in UNECE provides an international platform for this work which results in the creation of a level playing field for industry extending far beyond the borders of the EU.
Sodelovanje EU v Gospodarski komisiji ZN za Evropo omogoča mednarodno izhodišče za to dejavnost, ki vodi v oblikovanje enakih konkurenčnih pogojev za industrijo, ki deluje daleč preko meja EU.
Given the increasingly important role of standards in opening up international markets, the Commission supports the involvement of European standardisation organisations and stakeholders in the work of international standardisation organisations.
Glede na vse pomembnejšo vlogo standardov pri odpiranju mednarodnih trgov Komisija podpira vključevanje evropskih organizacij za standardizacijo in zainteresiranih strani v delo mednarodnih organizacij za standardizacijo.
Many European standards are influenced by international standards in certain fields, for example in the electro-technical sector about 80% of European standards are identical or very similar to International standards.
Mednarodni standardi na določenih področjih vplivajo na številne evropske standarde. V elektrotehnični panogi je na primer 80 % evropskih standardov enakih ali zelo podobnih mednarodnim standardom.
While the European Community is not a member of certain important international organisations operating in fields like pharmaceuticals (the World Health Organisation) and metrology (the International Organization of Legal Metrology), which creates problems in terms of achieving meaningful policy input at international level, the EU intends to step up its efforts in global fora and bilateral exchanges.
Čeprav Evropska skupnost ni članica nekaterih pomembnih mednarodnih organizacij, ki delujejo na področjih, kot sta farmacija (Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija) in meroslovje (Mednarodna organizacija za zakonsko meroslovje), kar povzroča težave z vidika pomembnih prispevkov k politiki na mednarodni ravni, pa namerava EU povečati svoja prizadevanja v globalnih forumih in dvostranskih izmenjavah.
A multilateral forum called ‘International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulations’ has been launched, involving the EU, Canada, Japan and the USA with the aim of progressively assimilating regulations in the four regions.
Vzpostavljen je bil večstranski forum, imenovan„Mednarodno sodelovanje pri predpisih s področja kozmetike“, ki vključuje EU, Kanado, Japonsko in ZDA, njegov cilj pa je postopno poenotenje predpisov v teh štirih regijah.
The medical devices sector is already benefiting from the Global Harmonization Task Force set up by the EU, Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA.
Sektor medicinskih pripomočkov že uživa koristi Globalne usklajevalne delovne skupine, ki so jo ustanovile EU, Avstralija, Kanada, Japonska in ZDA.
This international forum has already produced a number of regulatory guidance documents which are being implemented not only in the five founding regions but also in Asia.
Ta mednarodni forum je pripravil številne dokumente z zakonodajnimi smernicami, ki se uporabljajo ne samo v petih ustanovnih regijah, temveč tudi v Aziji.

Next steps: making the Single Market simpler
Naslednji koraki: poenostavitev enotnega trga
Clearly, there is a limit to how simple rules can be that govern complicated subjects like the free movement of goods across territorial borders.
Brez dvoma obstaja meja pri poenostavitvi pravil, ki urejajo zapletene zadeve, kot je prosti pretok blaga prek teritorialnih meja.
It is also true that, in terms of the total amount of legislation in force on this subject in the EU, rules adopted by the Community are just the tip of the iceberg.
Prav tako je res, da so predpisi, ki jih sprejme Skupnost, v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom veljavne zakonodaje s tega področja v EU le vrh ledene gore.
Even so, the body of EU rules that regulates the free movement of goods must be constantly kept up to date, reviewed, refined and simplified.
Kljub temu pa je treba zbirko predpisov EU, ki ureja prosti pretok blaga, stalno posodabljati, pregledovati, izboljševati in poenostavljati.
Because overlapping, out of date, contradictory or just plain over-complicated rules make for a difficult and obstructive regulatory environment for EU businesses.
Ker prekrivajoči se, zastareli, protislovni ali preprosto prezapleteni predpisi ustvarjajo težavno in moteče zakonodajno okolje za podjetja v EU.
Dealing with this gets in the way of their main activities and can seriously damage their ability to grow and provide employment.
Ukvarjanje s tem ovira njihove glavne dejavnosti ter lahko resno škodi njihovi sposobnosti za rast in zagotavljanje delovnih mest.
How is this achieved?
Kako je to mogoče doseči?
As regards new legislation, an assessment of the likely economic, social and environmental consequences of the new law is carried out by the department of the European Commission that is proposing its adoption.
Oddelek Evropske komisije, ki je predlagal sprejetje nove zakonodaje, oceni njene morebitne gospodarske, družbene in okoljske posledice.
In 2006, an independent Impact Assessment Board was set up to ensure the high quality of these ‘impact assessments’.
Leta 2006 je bil ustanovljen neodvisni odbor za oceno učinka, ki zagotavlja visoko kakovost teh„ocen učinka“.
The Board works under the direct authority of the President of the Commission.
Odbor deluje pod neposredno pristojnostjo predsednika Komisije.
Its members are officials of the Commission departments most directly linked with the economic, social and environmental impact of the new law.
Njegovi člani so uradniki oddelkov Komisije, ki so najbolj neposredno povezani z gospodarskimi, družbenimi in okoljskimi vplivi nove zakonodaje.
They are appointed in their personal capacity and on the basis of their expert knowledge.
Imenovani so osebno in na podlagi njihovega strokovnega znanja.
The Board can draw on additional expertise, from outside the EU institutions if necessary.
Odbor lahko po potrebi k sodelovanju povabi tudi strokovnjake zunaj institucij EU.
It may give advice during the preparation of the impact assessment and ultimately delivers an opinion on its quality which, although not binding, is taken into account when the Commission decides whether to adopt the new legislative proposal.
Lahko svetuje med pripravo ocene učinka in na koncu predloži mnenje o njeni kakovosti, ki ga Komisija, čeprav ni zavezujoče, upošteva pri odločitvi o tem, ali bo sprejela nov zakonodajni predlog.
As regards existing legislation, the rules are evaluated after they have been in force for a while to check that they are still necessary, they are still up to the job and they are as straightforward and streamlined as possible while taking full account of considerations that are becoming ever more relevant to Europeans such as public health and safety, the environment and consumer protection.
Kar zadeva obstoječo zakonodajo, se predpisi ocenjujejo po določenem obdobju veljavnosti, da se preveri, ali so še vedno potrebni, ali še dosegajo svoj namen in ali so čim bolj enostavni in racionalni, pri čemer se upoštevajo za Evropejce čedalje pomembnejši dejavniki, kot so javno zdravje in javna varnost, varstvo okolja in potrošnikov.
The Commission embarked on a simplification programme in October 2005 with an initial batch of about 100 simplification initiatives. In November 2006,
Komisija je oktobra 2005 začela program poenostavljanja z začetnim svežnjem približno 100 pobud za poenostavitev.
43 more were added, extending the scope of the simplification exercise to all EU policy areas.
Sledilo bo še več pobud, saj poenostavljanje ni enkraten dogodek, ampak postopek, ki se bo nadaljeval še vrsto let.
What is meant by ‘goods’?
Kaj pomeni„blago“? „blago“?
The term ‘goods’ has enormous scope – essentially it includes any product that has economic value.
Izraz„blago“ ima ogromno pomenov – dejansko vključuje kateri koli proizvod, ki ima gospodarsko vrednost.
Thus pharmaceuticals, vehicles, foodstuffs, textiles, construction products and cosmetics are all goods.
Farmacevtski izdelki, vozila, živila, tekstil, gradbeni proizvodi in kozmetika so torej vsi blago.
Gas and electricity are goods, although television signals are not.
Plin in elektrika sta blago, medtem ko televizijski signali ne.
Even waste materials are goods.
Celo odpadni material je blago.
Needless to say, services and goods are mutually exclusive.
Ni treba posebej poudarjati, da se storitve in blago medsebojno izključujejo.
What kind of obstacles get in the way of free movement?
Katere so ovire za prosti pretok?
There is a wide variety of obstacles, for example requirements that products meet precise technical specifications relating to their composition, dimensions, presentation and packaging, labelling or form.
Obstaja veliko različnih ovir, na primer zahteve, da so proizvodi skladni z natančnimi tehničnimi specikacijami, povezanimi z njihovo sestavo, merami, videzom in embalažo, označevanjem ali obliko.
Other types of obstacle are obligations to obtain authorisation prior to marketing, inspections and checks, incitements to buy national products, requirements to use national languages and, in the case of pharmaceuticals, restrictions on the right to reimbursement under national health and social security schemes.
Druge vrste ovir so obveznost pridobitve dovoljenja pred začetkom prodaje, inšpekcije in pregledi, spodbujanje h kupovanju nacionalnih proizvodov, zahteve po uporabi nacionalnih jezikov ter pri farmacevtskih izdelkih omejitve pravice do nadomestil v okviru nacionalnih sistemov zdravstvenega in socialnega varstva.
Some obstacles are obvious – others need to be carefully examined before their effect on access to the market can be fully appreciated.
Nekatere ovire so očitne, druge pa je treba skrbno preučiti, preden se lahko v celoti oceni njihov vpliv na dostop do trga.
What has the Single Market done for me, the consumer?
Kaj je enotni trg naredil zame kot potrošnika?
Lifting obstacles to the movement of goods across the internal borders of the EU has led to the appearance in many Member States of a wide range of products that consumers there might otherwise only have come across when travelling to other Member States.
Odprava ovir za pretok blaga prek notranjih meja EU je povzročila, da so se v številnih državah članicah pojavili raznovrstni proizvodi, ki bi jih potrošniki v teh državah sicer lahko kupili samo na potovanjih v druge države članice.
It has also brought consumers a much greater choice of more familiar products – which in turn means more competition between manufacturers and, ultimately, lower prices for consumers (see information sheet 1).
Poleg tega imajo potrošniki zdaj veliko večjo izbiro proizvodov za vsakodnevno uporabo, kar pa pomeni tudi večjo konkurenco med proizvajalci in končno nižje cene za potrošnike (glej informativni list 1).
What has the Single Market done for me, the small or medium sized business?
Kaj je enotni trg naredil zame kot malo ali srednje veliko podjetje?
Most obviously, the Single Market has provided SMEs with a massive domestic marketplace of nearly half a billion consumers, not to mention the many new corporate customers.
Najočitneje je, da je enotni trg malim in srednje velikim podjetjem (MSP) zagotovil ogromen domači trg s skoraj pol milijarde potrošniki, da ne omenimo velikega števila novih družb.
