Mr Gonçalves Henriques, underlining the commitment of the Portuguese Presidency to the EU goal of reducing global warming to 2 °C maximum, emphasised the need for global and multilevel cooperation to tackle climate change, declaring it to be ‘a crucial challenge for sustainable development’.
Predsedstvo EESO je imelo 20. novembra v Lizboni izredno sejo, ki ji je sledila konferenca v skupni organizaciji predsedstva in portugalskega ekonomskosocialnega sveta na temo Politična oblast in civilna družba v sodobnih družbah.
EESC adopts four key opinions on climate change
EESO sprejel štiri pomembna mnenja o podnebnih spremembah
Opening the conference, Dr Alfredo Bruto da Costa, President of the Portuguese Economic and Social Council, emphasised the key role played by civil society organisations, a role that no parliament could replace.
Alfredo Bruto da Costa, predsednik ekonomskosocialnega sveta Portugalske, je v otvoritvenem nagovoru poudaril osrednjo vlogo organizacij civilne družbe, ki je ne more nadomestiti noben parlament.
Mr Augusto Santos Silva, Portuguese Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, highlighted the fact that the participation of organised civil society was not an obstacle for parliamentary democracy but, on the contrary, a means of boosting its legitimacy.
Portugalski minister za parlamentarne zadeve Augusto Santos Silva je izpostavil dejstvo, da udeležba organizirane civilne družbe ni ovira za parlamentarno demokracijo, temveč ji ravno nasprotno omogoča večjo legitimnost.
The presentations were followed by a discussion with the audience, moderated by Mr Patrick Venturini, Secretary-General of the EESC, and Ms Paula Agapito, Secretary-General of the Portuguese Economic and Social Council.
Govorom je sledila izmenjava mnenj s poslušalci, ki sta jo vodila generalni sekretar EESO Patrick Venturini in generalna sekretarka portugalskega ekonomskosocialnega sveta Paula Agapito.
The conference was brought to
Glavni politični cilj EESO je spodbujati vzpostavljanje in utrjevanje takšnega dialoga.
On the occasion of the debate with the Nobel Prize winners, the Committee adopted four key opinions regarding climate change.
V okviru razprave z dobitnikoma Nobelove nagrade je Odbor sprejel štiri pomembna mnenja o podnebnih spremembah.
In the discussion that took place, there was an emphasis on how to reconcile the fight against — and adjustment to — climate change with economic wellbeing, and especially how to best integrate the climate change challenge into the Lisbon agenda for growth and jobs.
Razprava je bila osredotočena na to, kako uskladiti boj proti podnebnim spremembam – in prilagajanje nanje – z gospodarsko blaginjo in kako najbolje vključiti izziv, ki ga prinašajo podnebne spremembe, v lizbonsko strategijo za rast in delovna mesta.
The general issues covered by the four opinions are climate change and the Lisbon strategy, the Commission’s biofuel progress report, the impact of biofuels on agricultural markets, and the role of road transport fuels.
Glavne teme teh štirih mnenj so bile: podnebne spremembe in lizbonska strategija, sporočilo Komisije o napredku na področju biogoriv, vpliv biogoriv na kmetijske trge in vloga goriv, ki se uporabljajo v cestnem prometu.
In his speech, Dr Vasco Pereira da Silva, Professor at the Faculties of Law at the University of Lisbon and the Catholic University of Lisbon, gave a presentation on the development of the relationship between State and society, from separation to integration, whilst Mr José Miguel Júdice, Associate Professor at the New University of Lisbon, drew attention to the fact that European integration was a process of continuous interaction between the political process and the structured consolidation of civil society.
Vasco Pereira da Silva, profesor na pravni fakulteti Univerze v Lizboni ter na Katoliški univerzi v Lizboni, je v svojem prispevku predstavil razvoj odnosov med državo in družbo od ločitve do integracije, José Miguel Júdice, izredni profesor na novi Univerzi v Lizboni, pa je izpostavil dejstvo, da je evropska integracija proces stalne interakcije med političnim napredkom in strukturirano utrditvijo civilne družbe.
The EESC’s key political objective was to promote the establishment and consolidation of such a dialogue.
Zaradi svojega značaja in pristojnosti bi lahko EESO v tem kontekstu povečal

Renate Heinisch o grdem ravnanju s starejšimi, zlasti na področju nege, ki jo je treba izvesti po vsej EU.
Furthermore, the EESC calls for training and other initiatives for medical staff, carers and the police, the establishment of rights for carehome staff to report abuse, and the setting-up of an advisory service.
Vsaka država članica bi morala v okviru oblikovanja vseevropske strategije pripraviti nacionalni akcijski načrt za preprečevanje takšnega ravnanja.

standarde za nego ter uradne sisteme nadzora.
This must be underpinned by an EU-wide study of elder abuse, particularly within a care setting.
Nadalje pozivamo k izobraževanju in drugim pobudam za medicinsko osebje, negovalce in policijo ter se zavzemamo za to, da zaposleni v zavodih za nego dobijo pravico prijaviti grdo ravnanje.
Thus, to combat abuse of this kind and as part of moves to forge a pan-European strategy, a national action plan must be drawn up in each Member State.
Poleg tega priporočamo organizacijo svetovalnih storitev.
The following in particular must be taken into account in these action plans: the need to lift the taboo on the abuse of old people in care by raising public awareness.
Pri tem države članice ne smejo pozabiti na dejstvo, da je grdo ravnanje s starejšimi pri negi tabu, kar je treba spremeniti z ozaveščanjem javnosti.
National reports must be drawn up on the prevention of elder abuse in a care
Pripraviti je treba nacionalna poročila o preprečevanju grdega ravnanja pri negi starejših, naj bo to na njihovih domovih ali v domovih za starejše občane, in pri tem določiti (minimalne)
Arrangements must be made to provide respite for family carers, and advice and support for professional carers.
Poskrbeti je treba za razbremenitev svojcev, ki negujejo starejše, ter za svetovanje in podporo za poklicne negovalce.
We also need networks for cooperation, training and systematic exchanges of information among all players and institutions directly involved in care.
Poleg tega potrebujemo mrežne povezave, ki bi omogočile izobraževanje in sistematično izmenjavo informacij med vsemi – tako ljudmi kot institucijami – ki so neposredno povezani z nego.
How does our society look upon older people?
Kako naša družba gleda na starejše?
Are they valued, respected, integrated?
Jih ceni, spoštuje, vključuje?
Is there a place for old people in our society?
Je v naši družbi prostor za starejše?
And what is our image of old age — how do we want to live when we are old?
In kakšne so naše predstave o starosti – kako si sami želimo živeti v jeseni življenja?
Elder abuse is a much-neglected issue that still tends to be trivialised and pushed into the background.
Grdo ravnanje s starejšimi je pogosto pozabljena tema, ki se jo še vedno podcenjuje in odriva.
Particular risks are faced by older people who are dependent on care or are isolated within their own homes.
Starejši, ki potrebujejo nego ali živijo sami v svojih domovih, se soočajo s posebnimi težavami.
How can we ensure that older people in need of care are properly looked after?
Kako starejšim, ki potrebujejo nego, zagotoviti dostojno življenje?
The Committee considers that a national and EU-wide exchange of good practice and models is absolutely vital with a view to both quality assurance and the development of care standards.
Po mnenju EESO je izmenjava dobrih praks in modelov na državni in evropski ravni nujno potrebna, saj lahko pripomore k zagotavljanju kakovosti in razvoju standardov na področju nege.
I would like to see all people enjoying their old age. It was this conviction that led me to draw up an opinion on elder abuse.
Prav tako je treba sorodnikom obeh spolov, ki negujejo starejše, dati možnost, da prekinejo kariero, ne da bi to slabo vplivalo na njihovo poklicno pot.
At the end of 2007 the Commission intends to present a communication on elder abuse.
Komisija namerava konec leta 2007 predstaviti sporočilo o grdem ravnanju s starejšimi.
Over the coming decades the number of older people will increase rapidly; firstly, because life expectancy will continue to rise and, secondly, because the baby boom generation is getting older.
Njihovo število bo v naslednjih desetletjih hitro naraščalo, saj se bo pričakovana življenjska doba še naprej podaljševala, pa tudi „baby boom“ generacija se stara.
The Commission therefore wishes to launch initiatives to help the Member States prevent abuse and ensure that older people are cared for properly.
Zato želi Komisija sprožiti pobude, ki bi državam članicam pomagale preprečiti grdo ravnanje in omogočiti dostojne življenjske razmere starejšim, ki potrebujejo nego.

Predsednik je poudaril pomen večjezičnosti in poudaril: „Evropa temelji na kulturi in jeziki so njeni stebri.“
Mr Dimitriadis, EESC President, stressed the importance of multilingualism, noting that: ‘Culture is the main platform of Europe and language is one of the pillars supporting it.’
Orban je izjavil, da je znanje jezika bistvenega pomena za premagovanje težav med ljudmi in za učinkovito čezmejno in medresorsko sodelovanje; dejal je: „Jezikov

Srečanje predsednikov in generalnih sekretarjev ESS držav članic EU v Budimpešti
Civil society organisations are vital to getting Europe better known
Evropske organizacije civilne družbe so nepogrešljive za boljše seznanjanje z Evropo
On Monday, 12 November 2007, in Brussels, the Committee brought together around 150 communication professionals and members of national economic and social councils and civil society organisations to set up a framework for discussion and action to improve communication on Europe.
Na pobudo Odbora se je 12. novembra 2007 v Bruslju zbralo približno 150 strokovnjakov s področja komuniciranja, članov nacionalnih ekonomskosocialnih svetov in predstavnikov organizacij civilne družbe, da bi oblikovali okvir za razpravo in ukrepe za boljše seznanjanje z Evropo.
Vice-President Jillian van Turnhout said that the initiative aimed to establish a network of ambassadors in the Member States and to reinforce compatibilities and synergies so as to provide the public with access to better information on Community policies.
Po mnenju podpredsednice Jillian van Turnhout naj bi ta pobuda omogočila vzpostavitev mreže ambasadorjev v državah članicah ter okrepila skladnost in sinergijo, da bi imeli državljani dostop do boljših informacij o politikah Skupnosti.

EESC strengthens its ties with organised civil society in Ukraine
EESO krepi stike z ukrajinsko organizirano civilno družbo
Members of economic and social councils and civil society organisations play a vital part at national level in the drafting, relaying and interpreting of EU current affairs.
Člani ekonomskosocialnih svetov in organizacije organizirane civilne družbe imajo pomembno vlogo na nacionalni ravni pri pripravi, prenosu in interpretaciji aktualnih vprašanj Evropske unije.
On this basis, and in line with the European institutions’ new communication policy, the EESC encouraged participants to discuss issues such as how communication on Europe could be improved, how the European institutions could further enhance European intervention and which methods could be used to reach out to the European public. The discussion was organised in three working groups chaired by Henri Malosse, Mario Sepi and Staffan Nilsson, the three EESC group presidents.
EESO je na podlagi tega in v skladu z novo komunikacijsko politiko evropskih institucij udeležence spodbudil, da v treh delovnih skupinah, ki jim predsedujejo Henri Malosse, Mario Sepi in Staffan Nilsson, obravnavajo vprašanja, kot so „Kako izboljšati komuniciranje o Evropi?“, „Kako lahko evropske institucije povečajo vrednost evropskih ukrepov?“ in „S katerimi sredstvi se lahko približamo evropski javnosti?“.
Workshops were chaired by communications professionals such as Peter Kramer, International Secretary-General of the Association of European Journalists, Vanessa Witkowski of Café Babel, Daniel Feher of Dialog ’09, and journalist Inga Rosinska.
Delavnice so vodili strokovnjaki s področja komuniciranja, kot so Peter Kramer, generalni sekretar Mednarodne zveze evropskih novinarjev, Vanessa Witkowski, predstavnica Café Babel, Dániel Fehér, predstavnik Dialog ’09, in novinarka Inga Rosińska.

The need to use existing structures and networks for consultation (rather than starting from scratch each time) was stressed during the discussion.
Med razpravo so poudarili, da je bolje uporabiti že obstoječe strukture in mreže, kot pa vsakič začeti znova.
The participants exchanged good practices in order to capitalise on areas of expertise and networks, as well as to use the new forms of communication to make EU current affairs accessible, relevant and attractive to the general public.
Udeleženci so izmenjali dobre prakse, da bi s tem čim bolj izkoristili strokovno znanje in mreže posameznikov ter uporabili nova sredstva komuniciranja, s katerimi bi evropska aktualna vprašanja postala dostopna, pomembna in privlačna tudi državljanom.
