Although the Iris festival, the quintessential Brussels festival (various activities in the town centre), stole some of the limelight from this unique European day, this only made the events more symbolic: Brussels was hosting Europe and celebrating it royally.
Festival Iris, ki je glavni bruseljski festival (razne aktivnosti v središču mesta), je temu posebnemu evropskemu dnevu odvzel nekaj pozornosti, vendar mu je dodal tudi nekaj simbolike: Bruselj je sprejel Evropo in to bogato proslavil.
The European Economic and Social Committee took up the challenge!
Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor je sprejel izziv!

KOLEDAR DOGODKOV
Youth in action!
1. julij 2007: začetek portugalskega predsedovanja Svetu Evropske unije
Young people taking part in a seminar during the European Youth Week
18. in 19. julij 2007, Brazilija: skupni seminar EESO-CESD (brazilski svet za ekonomski in socialni razvoj) na temo EU in Mercosur: prispevek institucij civilne družbe k nacionalnemu in regionalnemu razvoju
Why is the EESC important for youth and youth policy?
• Seja predsedstva in okrogla miza v Berlinu o globalizaciji stran 4
Through the working groups and the workshops, the young people had the chance to state their opinions on a wide range of subjects.
EESO Info: Udeležili ste se Vrha mladih v Rimu 23.–25. marca in evropskega tedna mladih Mladi v akciji, ki je potekal od 4. do 6. junija v Bruslju.
In the words of the Youth Declaration we need to: Listen to what they have to say, Ask what they need and then act!
Mladi sodelujejo na seminarju v okviru evropskega tedna mladih cije izjemno pomembno vlogo pri spodbujanju aktivnega državljanstva in sodelovanja.
headed the advisory team of several Dutch members of the European Parliament from 2000 to 2006.
je od leta 2000 do 2006 vodil svetovalno skupino več nizozemskih poslancev Evropskega parlamenta.
Starting with policy advisory work in agriculture and fisheries, by 2006 he had covered most European policy areas and became an adviser on European and international affairs with the National Federation of Christian Trade Unions in the Netherlands (CNV).
Najprej je bil svetovalec za področje kmetijstva in ribištva. Do leta 2006 je pokril večino evropskih političnih področij in postal svetovalec za evropske in mednarodne zadeve pri nacionalnem združenju nizozemskih krščanskih sindikatov CNV.
As such he is also an alternate member of the executive committee of the European Trade Union Confederation.
Tako je tudi nadomestni član izvršnega odbora Evropske zveze sindikatov.
Meijer earned his Master’s degree at the Agricultural University Wageningen, The Netherlands, and his PhD at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Jillian van Turnhout: Zelo sem vesela in ponosna, da sem se lahko udeležila teh dogodkov. Mladi so dobili priložnost, da v okviru delovnih skupin in delavnic izrazijo svoje mnenje o mnogih temah.
As a former President of the National Youth Council of Ireland, what do you think about the aims and challenges facing youth in an enlarged Europe?
Kaj kot bivša predsednica irskega nacionalnega sveta mladih mislite o ciljih in izzivih, s katerimi se soočajo mladi v razširjeni Evropi?
The EESC was the first European institution to adopt an opinion on the situation and the potential for a European youth policy in the European Union.
je politična svetovalka za mednarodne in evropske zadeve pri nizozemski zvezi sindikatov FNV.
We try to develop new ideas, because we know the reality on the ground in the different Member States, and we try to make sure that that voice comes out in our opinions and in the work we do.
V zadnjih letih je FNV svetovala o politikah in sodelovanju z Azijo in Bližnjim vzhodom.
Youth policy should be about involving young people at the local, regional, national and European levels, in the decision-making processes, in matters that affect them.
Annie van Wezel je magistrica političnih znanosti s specializacijo v mednarodnih zadevah.
At the same time it is up to us not to let anyone down, and to have all opinions taken into account for our common future.
FNV zastopa v mednarodnih organizacijah, kot sta Mednarodna organizacija dela in Mednarodna zveza sindikatov.
We need to rethink the ways through which we try to grab the attention of young people.
Znova moramo premisliti o sredstvih, s katerimi poskušamo pridobiti pozornost mladih.
Young people should be reached and be engaged through creative and interactive means that will allow them to play an active part in building Europe.
Mladim se je treba približati in jih pritegniti z ustvarjalnimi in interaktivnimi sredstvi, ki bodo omogočila, da prevzamejo aktivno vlogo pri izgradnji Evrope.
In the context of civil society and participatory democracy, youth organisations can play an extremely valuable role in promoting active citizenship and participation.

is policy adviser on international and European affairs with the Dutch Trade Union Confederation (FNV).
EESO je bil prva evropska institucija, ki je sprejela mnenje o položaju in potencialih evropske mladinske politike v Evropski uniji.
She previously advised the FNV on policies and cooperation in Asia and the Middle East and holds a Master’s degree in political science, specialising in international affairs.
Poskušamo oblikovati nove ideje, saj poznamo resnične razmere v različnih državah članicah, ter poskušamo zagotoviti, da to pride do izraza v naših mnenjih in pri delu, ki ga opravljamo.
She represents FNV in international organisations such as the International Labour Organisation and the International Trade Union Confederation.
Mladinska politika mora imeti za cilj vključevanje mladih na lokalni, regionalni, nacionalni in evropski ravni v postopek odločanja na področjih, ki jih zadevajo.
The EESC urges that the substanceof the Treaty establishinga Constitution for Europe be preserved
EESO vztraja pri ohranitvi bistva Pogodbe o Ustavi za Evropo
The EESC considers that the substance of the treaty is more important than its name, and therefore does not oppose it being renamed, given the misunderstandings that the term ‘constitution’ has triggered in some Member States.
Odbor je v svoji resoluciji o časovnem načrtu za ustavni proces, ki jo je z veliko večino sprejel na plenarnem zasedanju 30. maja in poslal Evropskemu svetu, poudaril, da se mora politična in institucionalna kriza Evropske unije čim prej končati.
The EESC confirms its intention to assist the negotiation process for the new treaty by helping to ensure that the voice of civil society is heard, in line with its institutional role.
EESO meni, da je vsebina pogodbe pomembnejša od njenega imena, zato ne nasprotuje temu, da bi se pogodba poimenovala drugače, ob upoštevanju dejstva, da izraz „ustava“ v določenih državah sproža nesporazume.
In particular, it is willing to hold, in cooperation with the Portuguese Presidency of the Council, information and dialogue meetings with civil society organisations, as it did during the work of the European Convention.
Na koncu EESO ponovno izraža svoj namen spremljati pogajanja o novi pogodbi ter v skladu s svojim institucionalnim poslanstvom prispevati k temu, da se bo slišal tudi glas organizirane civilne družbe.
In its resolution ‘Roadmap on the constitutional process’, adopted by a broad majority at the plenary session of 30 May and addressed to the European Council, the EESC stresses the urgent need to bring an end to the political and institutional crisis currently affecting the European Union.
Še zlasti je v sodelovanju s portugalskim predsedstvom Svetu pripravljen pripraviti informativna srečanja in dialog z organizacijami civilne družbe, kakor jih je že pripravljal med delom Evropske konvencije.

(nadaljevanje s strani 1) je kmet iz Rivailla v departmaju Meuse in predsednik francoske kmetijske zveze (Coopération Agricole Française). Od junija 2007 je predsednik francoskega nacionalnega združenja kmetijskih zavarovalnic, zadrug in kreditnih institucij (Confédération Nationale de la Mutualité, de la Coopération et du Crédit Agricoles).
In addition to these posts, Philippe Mangin is also a member of the management board of the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) and a member of the supervisory board of the International Agriculture Show (SIA).
Je tudi član upravnega odbora francoskega nacionalnega instituta za raziskave v poljedelstvu (Conseil d’administration de l’Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) in nadzornega sveta mednarodnega kmetijskega sejma (Conseil de Surveillance du Salon International de l’Agriculture). G.
He was a member of the French Economic and Social Council for over 10 years.
Mangin je bil več kot 10 let član francoskega ekonomsko-socialnega sveta.
In recognition of his work, a number of honours have been bestowed on him: he is a Chevalier of both the Légion d’Honneur and the National Order of Merit and an officer of the Order of Agricultural Merit.
Odlikovan je bil z redom viteza francoske legije časti (Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur) in nagrajen za nacionalne zasluge (Chevalier de l’Ordre national du Mérite), prejel pa je tudi častni red za kmetijstvo (Ordre du Mérite Agricole).
The labour situationin Europe
Kaj kot komisarka menite, kako lahko prisluhnemo državljanom?
I think we can do this by using the consultation process and actually involving citizens in a democratic way.
Menim, da to lahko storimo s procesom posvetovanja in dejanskim demokratičnim vključevanjem državljanov.
This should be made known on a much broader scale when we consult and when we actually want citizens’ reactions to a particular proposal.
To sporočilo bi morali širiti med posvetovanji in kadar želimo, da se državljani dejansko odzovejo na določen predlog.
Through the civil society organisations, I think we can also get ordinary citizens’ input on our policies.
Poleg tega menim, da državljani lahko sodelujejo pri oblikovanju politik tudi prek organizacij civilne družbe.
This will improve the quality of the proposals.
Tako bomo izboljšali kakovost predlogov.
Does the European Commission often ask the EESC to issue opinions?
Ali Evropska komisija pogosto zaprosi EESO za mnenje?
The EESC calls for the adoption of a new treaty which meets the needs of an EU with 27 Member States, enabling it to reach agreement on new policies and to take the decisions needed in order to meet the many challenges it faces.
EESO zahteva sprejetje nove pogodbe, ki bo pokrivala potrebe Unije s 27 državami članicami, ji omogočila dogovor o novih politikah ter sprejetje sklepov, potrebnih za soočanje s številnimi izzivi.
The resolution points out that two thirds of Member States — representing a clear majority of EU citizens — have ratified the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, and calls for it to remain the basis for negotiations.
Opozarja, da je dvotretjinska večina držav članic, ki predstavljajo veliko večino državljanov EU, ratificirala ustavno pogodbo, zato v svoji resoluciji vztraja pri tem, da mora ta pogodba ostati osnova za pogajanja.
These must preserve the substance of what was decided within the European Convention and signed by all the Heads of State or Government, particularly the progress in the democratic, institutional and procedural fields, especially with regard to human rights.
Pri pogajanjih je treba ohraniti bistvo tega, kar je bilo sklenjeno v okviru Evropske konvencije in kar so podpisali vsi voditelji držav in vlad, zlasti demokratični, institucionalni in postopkovni napredek, predvsem na področju temeljnih pravic.
On 7 June 2007, the EESC hosted a seminar on ‘The European labour situation: the case of Hungary’,organised jointly with the Ministry of Social Affairsand Labour of Hungary.
EESO je 7. junija 2007 gostil seminar Razmere na trgu dela v Evropi – primer Madžarske, ki ga je organiziral v sodelovanju z madžarskim ministrstvom za delo in socialne zadeve.

At local level, which is the idea of the addendum to the protocol, we can, through our representations, use the expertise of EESC members.
Institucionalne in proceduralne določbe dela iz III (politike Unije) bi bilo treba, če se razlikujejo od trenutno veljavnega prava, vključiti v del I.
The EESC calls for Parts I (objectives, institutions,structure of the Union), II (Charter of Fundamental Rights) and IV (general and final provisions) to remain unchanged.
V skladu s postopki moramo predloge redno pošiljati EESO, menim pa, da je zelo pomembno, da se Odbor odloči za svoje prednostne teme, da bo resnično lahko vplival na politike.
The institutional and procedural provisions in Part III (policies of the Union) should, insofaras they go beyond current law, be incorporated into Part I.
Na lokalni ravni lahko prek predstavništev uporabimo strokovno znanje članov EESO, kar je namen dodatka k Protokolu. Prepričana sem, da lahko člani v vsaki državi članici oživijo razpravo na lokalni ravni.

Moroccan and European civil society organisations meet in Rabat
Evropski pakt za družino proti staranju prebivalstva
A European pact for the familyagainst the ‘demographic winter’
Srečanje evropskih in maroških organizacij civilne družbe v Rabatu
EESC Info: You were the rapporteur for the exploratory opinion requested by the German Presidency on family and demographic change, adopted at the March plenary session.
EESO Info: Bili ste poročevalec za raziskovalno mnenje na zaprosilo nemškega predsedstva EU o družini in demografskem razvoju, ki je bilo sprejeto na marčevskem plenarnem zasedanju.
Could you tell us something about the opinion?
Nam lahko to mnenje na kratko predstavite?
Moroccan civil society organisations met the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in Rabat to discuss involving civil society organisations in the implementation of the EU–Morocco action plan; the setting-up of an ESC in Morocco was also on the agenda.
Maroške organizacije civilne družbe so se v Rabatu sestale z EESO. Udeleženci so razpravljali o vključevanju organizacij civilne družbe v izvajanje akcijskega načrta EU-Maroko ter o možnosti ustanovitve eko-nomsko-socialnega sveta v Maroku.
The meeting brought together trade union and employers’ organisations, agricultural cooperatives, consumer, human rights, environmental and development organisations from Morocco.
Na srečanju so se zbrale sindikalne in delodajalske organizacije, kmetijske zadruge, potrošniške organizacije ter organizacije za človekove pravice, okolje in razvoj Maroka.
The EESC was represented by a 12-member delegation drawn from several EU countries.
EESO je na srečanju zastopala delegacija, sestavljena iz 12 članov iz več držav EU.
The economic and social councils of Greece, France and Tunisia also attended and discussed their experiences.
Prisotni so bili tudi ekonomsko-socialni sveti Grčije, Francije in Tunizije, ki so predstavili svoje izkušnje.
This would cover family policy, work/family life balance, gender equality policy, and specific policies in support of mothers and fathers who assume their full share of family responsibilities.
Maroška združenja so izrazila željo, da bi bila bolje vključena v izvajanje reform v Maroku, in brez izjeme podprla predlog za čimprejšnjo ustanovitev eko-nomsko-socialnega sveta v Maroku.
The Moroccan associations expressed their wish to become more involved in the implementation of the reforms in Morocco, and agreed unanimously that an ESC should be set up in Morocco as soon as possible.
o politikah in dobrih praksah, ki spodbujajo usklajevanje poklicnega, družinskega in zasebnega življenja.
between all stakeholders on policies and good practices promoting a balance between professional, family and private life.
Ta bi zajemal družinsko politiko, usklajevanje družinskega in poklicnega življenja, politiko enakosti spolov ter posebno politiko za podporo materam in očetom, ki v celoti prevzamejo družinsko obveznost.
How has the opinion been received by the German Presidency and within the institutions generally?
Kakšen odziv je vzbudilo mnenje pri nemškem predsedstvu in na splošno pri institucijah EU?
This is the first time in Europe that the family has been talked about in such explicit terms; its social and economic role and therefore the support it should receive from the public authorities, both at national and EU level.
V Evropi se prvič tako eksplicitno govori o družini, njeni vlogi v družbi in gospodarstvu ter s tem tudi o podpori, ki bi ji jo morali nameniti javni organi, tako na ravni držav članic kot na ravni EU.
What has provoked this interest?
Kaj je zbudilo takšno zanimanje?
Meeting of secretaries-generalof EU Member States’ ESCs andthe EESC in Budapest
Srečanje generalnih sekretarjev ekonomsko-socialnih svetov (ESS) držav članic EU in EESO v Budimpešti
Several years ago, the European Commission undertook an in-depth assessment of the demographic situation in Europe and its impact on the labour market, productivity and economic growth, as well as on social protection and public finances.
Evropska komisija že nekaj let natančno proučuje demografsko stanje v Evropi ter njegove posledice za trg dela, produktivnost in gospodarsko rast, pa tudi za socialno varstvo in javne finance.
While Europe’s low birth rate is not conducive to a demographic renewal, opinion polls indicate that Europeans do not have as many children as they would like.
Čeprav se Evropa sooča z nizko stopnjo rodnosti, ki ne omogoča demografske reprodukcije, raziskave kažejo, da imajo Evropejci manj otrok, kot si jih želijo.
The Council of Ministers has set up a European Alliance for Families, which provides a platform for exchanges
Svet EU je ustanovil Evropsko zvezo za družino kot platformo za izmenjave med vsemi vpletenimi akterji
The German Presidency has followed our work right through to the adoption of the opinion.
Nemško predsedstvo je spremljalo delo Odbora od začetka priprave pa vse do sprejetja mnenja.
I had the chance to present the opinion to the German Minister for Family Affairs at a conference at the European Parliament and at the informal Council of ministers for family affairs of the 27 Member States, held in Hanover.
Med drugim sem imel priložnost mnenje predstaviti nemškemu ministru za družino na konferenci v Evropskem parlamentu in ministrom za družino 27 držav članic EU na neformalnem zasedanju v Hannovru.
Furthermore, the Council’s conclusions refer explicitly to our opinion, summarising the key points.
V sklepih zasedanja je naše mnenje izrecno omenjeno in povzete so glavne točke.
And the Alliance for Families, which was established then, is taking up some of the opinion’s key ideas, in particular the European pact for the family.
Tudi Zveza za družino, ki je bila ustanovljena ob tej priložnosti, je prevzela nekaj ključnih predlogov iz našega mnenja, med drugim predlog za evropski pakt za družino!
As far as the European Parliament is concerned, I presented the opinion to the President of the FEMM committee, to the rapporteur of the EP opinion on the subject, and also to members of the Intergroup on Family.
V Evropskem parlamentu pa sem mnenje predstavil predsednici odbora za pravice žensk in enakost spolov, poročevalki za mnenje EP o tej temi ter članom medskupine za družino.

He stressed that legislative work should be guided by economic and social parameters and foster an approach based upon simplicity and clarity.
Dodal je, da bi moralo biti zakonodajno delo v skladu z ekonomskimi in socialnimi parametri ter dajati prednost pristopu, ki temelji na preprostosti in jasnosti.
Mr Verheugen’s speech was followed by a particularly lively debate on the subject of ‘better lawmaking’.
Govoru g. Verheugna je sledila zelo živahna razprava na temo „boljša zakonodaja“.
