One of the most important things for any newborn child, whether they know it or not, is their parents’right to maternity and paternity leave.
Ena izmed najpomembnejših stvari za novorojenčka, pa naj se tega zaveda ali ne, je pravica njegovih staršev do porodniškega in očetovskega dopusta.
They need to know where their next feed is coming from, and so it’s a great relief to know that both the mother and father are entitled to time off work to look after the newest member of the family.
Tudi materi in očetu je laže ob misli, da lahko oba vzameta dopust in skrbita za svojega malčka.

Vse bolj uveljavljen dopust
Once upon a time, a new mother would have been able to take a few weeks off, if she was lucky, but she might even have had to give up her job in some European countries.
Včasih je v nekaterih evropskih državah mlada mamica, če je imela srečo, lahko vzela nekaj prostih tednov, včasih pa je morala pustiti službo.
New fathers may have missed the birth, and certainly wouldn’t have been allowed to stay at home with their new son or daughter.
Mladi očetje včasih niso mogli biti navzoči ob rojstvu svojega otroka, še manj pa pomisliti, da bi ostali doma z novorojenčkom.
It’s fortunate then that equality between men and women is now one of the fundamental rights for citizens of the European Union.
Na srečo je enakost med spoloma zdaj ena temeljnih pravic prebivalcev v Evropski uniji: pomeni, da imata oba, mama in oče, priložnost menjavati pleničke!
In the majority of European countries, both parents are entitled to three months’leave, and either the father or mother can take it, although they can’t transfer the leave from one of them to the other.
V večini evropskih držav imata oba starša pravico do trimesečnega dopusta, ki ga lahko izkoristi eden ali drugi, ne more pa ga prenesti na drugega. Po koncu starševskega dopusta se imata starša pravico vrniti na isto delovno mesto ali na enakovreden ali podoben položaj.
At the end of the parental leave, parents have the right to return to the same job, or to an equivalent or similar position.
Za pridobitev starševskega dopusta morata starša obvestiti delodajalca in navesti datum začetka in konca dopusta.
To get parental leave, they may need to give plenty of notice and to indicate the date on which it will begin and end.The details vary according to the country they are working in, but employers must comply with the minimum requirements agreed by all European countries.
Podrobnosti se razlikujejo glede na državo zaposlitve, vendar pa morajo delodajalci upoštevati minimalne zahteve, ki so jih sprejele vse evropske države.

Vsekakor pa tudi to področje kaže prizadevanje Evropske unije za resnično enake možnosti za moške in ženske.
Enlargement has contributed to European stability and well-being
Leta 2007 so sprejeli nove ukrepe pomoči zaTurčijo in države Zahodnega Balkana.
The European Union has spent billions, over the years, to secure the continent’s economic well-being, and to support an army of business people who are striving to generate jobs and greater economic growth.
Evropska unija je v vseh teh letih porabila na milijarde evrov, da bi zagotovila gospodarsko blaginjo celine in podprla množico poslovnežev, ki si prizadevajo ustvariti nova delovna mesta in spodbuditi gospodarsko rast.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is Europe’s key financing institution.
Evropska investicijska banka (EIB) je ključna finančna ustanova Evrope.
Primarily for the work it does to raise cash for the financing of major infrastructure projects and in supporting the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Financira predvsem pomembne infrastrukturne projekte ter rast malih in srednje velikih podjetij.
In 2004, for example, the EIB released 28 billion euro for projects to improve poorer areas in Europe.
Leta 2004 je EIB na primer sprostila 28 milijard evrov za naložbe v razvojne projekte v najrevnejših predelih Evrope.
The money was spent on improving transport and telecommunications infrastructures, industrial development initiatives, developing urban areas and supporting health and education.
Denar so porabili za izboljšanje prometnih in telekomunikacijskih infrastruktur, industrijski razvoj, razvoj urbanih predelov in za podporo na področju zdravja in izobraževanja.
A sense of (ad)venture
Tveganje in podjetnost
And why is it so important to fund European entrepreneurs?
Zakaj je financiranje evropskih malih podjetnikov tako pomembno?
Well, they actually provide 75 million jobs and make up 99 per cent of all Europe’s enterprises.
Preprosto: zaposlujejo 75 milijonov ljudi in predstavljajo 99 odstotkov vseh evropskih podjetij.
Much of the direct support for SMEs is provided through the European Investment Fund (EIF), founded in 1994.
Neposredno podporo za mala in srednja podjetja, ki večinoma poslujejo na področju informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije ter znanosti o življenju, omogoča predvsem Evropski investicijski sklad (EIS), ustanovljen leta 1994.
The EIB uses the fund to give SMEs – many of which work in the Information and Communication Technologies and life sciences sectors – access to venture capital, with the aim of boosting European policies for economic growth and job creation.The venture capital market is huge, currently worth more than 3 billion euro.
Evropska investicijska banka uporablja ta sklad za naložbe tveganega kapitala v mala in srednja podjetja ter tako uresničuje evropsko politiko gospodarske rasti in novih delovnih mest. Trg tveganega kapitala je ogromen in je trenutno vreden več kot 3 milijarde evrov.
The EIF also provides loan guarantees to financial institutions that provide money to SMEs.
Evropski investicijski sklad daje jamstvo finančnim ustanovam, ki malim in srednje velikim podjetjem posojajo denar.
This complex, often hidden work is massively important to the likes of banks, as it helps them reduce investment risks and encourages them to lend even more to SMEs.
To zapleteno in očem pogosto nevidno delo je izjemno pomembno za banke, saj pomaga zmanjšati naložbeno tveganje in hkrati spodbuja nova posojila za mala podjetja.
Technologies to improve your life
Tehnologija za kakovost življenja
The information society – once a futuristic scenario – is now a reality.
Informacijska družba – nekoč futuristična zamisel – je zdaj stvarnost.
The i2010 initiative is making sure that all Europeans have easy, safe and affordable access to the latest information and communications technologies (ICTs) – and the many possibilities they offer to improve your quality of life.
Pobuda i2010 omogoča vsem Evropejcem enostaven, varen in cenovno ugoden dostop do najnovejših informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij (IKT) – ter vseh ugodnosti, s katerimi nam lajšajo življenje.
You may like listening to music on the move on your mp3 player.
Morda na poti poslušate glasbo na svojem mp3-predvajalniku.
You may have already sent digital photos to your family and friends by email, or talked to them through the internet.
Morda ste po elektronski pošti svojcem že kdaj poslali digitalne fotografije ali se z njimi pogovarjali po internetu.
Media is getting on-line with music, films and TV by becoming available on your PC and mobile phone.
Mediji se zdaj pojavljajo na spletu, saj so nam glasba, filmi in televizijske oddaje na voljo na računalniku in mobilnem telefonu.
New technologies for information and communication offer you more attractive entertainment and useful services.
Nove komunikacijske in informacijske tehnologije nam ponujajo razvedrilo in uporabne storitve.
Making the most of those opportunities is one of the priorities of the i2010 initiative.
Prednostna naloga pobude i2010 je kar najbolj izkoristiti te možnosti.
Accessing information anywhere, anytime
Tehnologija za kakovost življenja
You can now often organise your holiday or send in your tax return right from your sofa – on-line.
Dopustniške rezervacije ali oddajo napovedi za odmero davka vse večkrat opravimo kar po spletu doma.
Reducing paperwork and freeing up your time by encouraging governments to provide more and better public services on-line, is another example of the tasks taken on by i2010.
Pobuda i2010 spodbuja vlade, da povečajo in izboljšajo javne storitve na spletu in tako zmanjšajo delo s papirji in zamudne postopke.
It also supports the development and application of new information and communications technologies in areas such as health, education and safety.
Prav tako razvija in širi nove informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije, predvsem na področjih zdravstva, izobraževanja in varnosti.
Did you know, for example, that an in-vehicle system, due to be introduced in Europe, will automatically alert emergency services in the event of a crash? This new ‘ eC all ’ technology is expected to save many lives – maybe yours...
Ste vedeli, da v Evropi načrtujejo sistem, ki bo vgrajen v vozila in bo v primeru nesreče samodejno obvestil reševalne službe?Ta nova tehnologija „ eC a l l “ (ePoziv) naj bi rešila številna življenja – morda vašega …

One of the greatest challenges is making sure that everyone – regardless of age, physical ability or location – can have equal access to the opportunities offered by information and communications technologies.
Eden največjih izzivov je zagotoviti vsem Evropejcem, ne glede na starost, fizične sposobnosti ali prebivališče, enakopraven dostop do možnosti, ki jih ponujajo informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije.
For that, you need a high-speed “broadband” connection to the internet.
To omogoča visokohitrostna širokopasovna internetna povezava.
By encouraging Member States to bring broadband to under-served areas, also through European funding for disadvantaged regions, i2010 has been able to help improve the availability of broadband across the EU.
S pobudo i2010 se je izboljšal dostop do širokopasovnih povezav v vsej Evropski uniji, saj so države članice pod njenim vplivom vzpostavile širokopasovno omrežje tudi na odročnejših območjih (tudi s pomočjo evropskih sredstev za najbolj prikrajšane regije).
Working together – across the line
Sodelovanje prek meja
There are many national borders in and around Europe.
V Evropi je veliko državnih mej.
They represent the lines between long centuries of laws, rules, habits – different ways of doing things.
Te meje so tudi ločnice med različnimi zakonodajami, pravili in navadami.
Regions need to develop or to stop pollution and they must work together to do it.
Toda vse te različne regije se morajo razvijati ali preprečiti onesnaževanje – to pa zahteva medsebojno sodelovanje. Evropa je topoenostavila. poenostavila.
Like many national border regions in Europe, there are some big problems.
Mnoge obmejne regije se spopadajo z velikimi težavami.
Border regions used to feel a long way, both from their national capitals and from each other.
Tamkajšnji ljudje se počutijo odmaknjeni od svojega glavnega mesta in od drugih obmejnih regij.
They were lagging behind, and needed to catch up fast.
Te regije so pogosto zaostajale in so morale hitro dohitevati ostale predele države.
Major advances in Europe are already helping – a single market, a common currency, fewer passport checks. All of that makes life simpler for people.
Z velikimi dosežki Evropske unije je to že laže – enotni trg, skupna denarna valuta, manj mejnih kontrol.Vse to je ljudem zelo poenostavilo življenje.
And, as Europe’s less well-off regions, they have received a lot of help from the EU Structural Funds.
Poleg tega so bile kot prikrajšane evropske regije deležne pomoči strukturnih skladov EU.
Its ‘INTERREG’ initiative has been developing cross-border regions.
Evropska unija pomaga tudi premostiti „vpliv meje“.
As well as giving financial support, it encourages the best possible use of resources – financial, human or structural.
Pobuda “Interreg” je spodbudila razvoj čezmejnih regij in prinesla f i finančno podporo, poleg tega si prizadeva izboljšati uporabo virov – finančnih, človeških ali strukturnih.

Neighbouring areas of Austria and Germany set up a Euroregion in 1995, and now you can use the same bus ticket on both sides of the border, with an unlimited number of transfers back and forth.
Sosednje regije v Avstriji in Nemčiji so leta 1995 ustanovile evroregijo in zdaj ista avtobusna vozovnica velja za prevoz na obeh straneh meje.
As a result, the number of bus users has grown, and so has local tourism.
Posledično se je povečalo število uporabnikov avtobusov in vzcvetel je lokalni turizem.
It wasn’t quite as easy as it sounds though; new ticket machines and coordinated routes had to be established and taxes and fare zones had to be harmonised.
In vendar ni šlo vse tako preprosto, kot se zdi.Treba je bilo postaviti nove avtomate za vozovnice, določiti proge ter uskladiti davke in tarifna območja.
This needed a financial helping hand.
Potrebna je bila finančna pomoč Evropske unije.
The EU has also put a lot of money into improving cross-border rail links – between Dublin and Belfast, for instance, or between Helsinki and St. Petersburg.
Evropska unija je veliko vložila tudi v izboljšave čezmejnih železniških povezav, na primer med Dublinom in Belfastom ali med Helsinki in St. Petersburgom.
The old borders did have a few advantages.
Stare meje so seveda imele določene prednosti.
Some of Europe’s great unspoilt landscapes are in border areas.
Nekaj najlepših, še ne dotaknjenih predelov Evrope leži na obmejnih območjih.
With the opening of the frontiers, those environments could soon become damaged unless action is taken to preserve them.
Brez ustreznih zaščitnih ukrepov bi lahko odprtje mej zanje pomenilo ekološko grožnjo.
INTERREG has been backing schemes that do just that – beautiful natural parks that straddle the borders.
Interreg tako podpira projekte ohranitve prekrasnih naravnih parkov, ki se raztezajo na eno in drugo stran meje.
Cheaper flights for all
Ugodni leti za vse
Not so long ago, air travel was an occasional, expensive event.
Še nedavno tega je bilo potovanje z letalom redek in drag dogodek.
But since the European Union has enabled airlines to compete against each other, the numbers of flights and routes offered has grown hugely and the prices charged have fallen dramatically.
Odkar pa je Evropska unija omogočila konkurenčnost letalskih družb, se je število poletov in destinacij znatno povečalo in cene za letalske vozovnice so se zelo zmanjšale.
Flying around Europe is now easier than ever.
Potovanje po Evropi z letalom še nikoli ni bilo tako enostavno.
International air travel developed on the basis of restrictive agreements between governments and national airlines.
Na začetku je mednarodno potovanje z letalom temeljilo na omejenih sporazumih med nacionalnimi vladami in letalskimi prevozniki.
Too often, those airlines, secure in monopoly positions, organised flights to suit themselves and charged their passengers fares far in excess of the costs of the journey concerned.
Letalski prevozniki so se tako znašli v monopolnem položaju in so vse prevečkrat zagotavljali lete po svoji volji, potnikom pa zaračunavali previsoke cene za ponujene storitve.
In the 1980s, the European Union decided to end these cosy arrangements, and open up the market to free competition.
V osemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja se je Evropska unija odločila, da temu naredi konec, in je odprla trg za konkurenco.
In eff ect, since 1993, the European Union (together with several neighbouring countries) has become a huge single market for air travel.
Evropska unija (skupaj z nekaterimi sosednjimi državami) je tako leta 1993 postala en sam velik enotni trg za letalske prevoze.
That means that any airline granted a licence in an EU country – meeting safety standards and other conditions – can operate air services anywhere in the EU, including domestic services within another country.
Vsak letalski prevoznik, ki pridobi licenco v državi EU in izpolnjuje varnostne standarde in druge pogoje, lahko ponudi svoje storitve kjer koli v EU, tudi na rednih linijah druge države.
Restrictions on fares, on scheduling and so on, have been swept away, and today the major restriction on new air services is the lack of capacity at Europe’s biggest airports.
Omejitev pri cenah letalskih vozovnic in voznih redov ni, tako da je zdaj največja ovira za nove letalske prevoznike premajhna zmogljivost največjih letališč v Evropi.
New opportunities nDG Energy and Transport : Internal Market http ://ec.europa.eu/transport/air_portal/internal_market/index_en.htm
̈GD za energetiko in promet: notranji trg
The result has been the launch of dozens of new airlines, the introduction of the new ‘no-frills’ or ‘low-cost’ airlines, and hundreds of new services linking huge numbers of airports across Europe.
Z odprtjem trga so se pojavili številni novi letalski prevozniki, med njimi tako imenovani „nizkocenovniki“, in na stotine novih storitev, ki povezujejo številna letališča v Evropi.
Prices have tumbled on all airlines, booking is easier – particularly via the internet – and passengers are now able to travel more often, more cheaply, and to more destinations.
Cene letalskih vozovnic so se zmanjšale pri vseh prevoznikih, rezervacije letov so enostavnejše, predvsem po spletu, in potniki zdaj potujejo pogosteje, ceneje in na številnejše destinacije.
Over the past 15 years, one relatively small but ingenious invention has brought about a dramatic reduction in the toxic pollution generated by your car.
Razmeroma majhen, toda zelo domiseln izum je v zadnjih 15 letih znatno zmanjšal onesnaženje s strupenimi snovmi, ki jih proizvajajo avtomobili.
It is a catalytic converter – a small chemical reactor turning harmful exhaust gases into more environmentally friendly substances – purring under your car.
Gre za katalizator (majhen kemični reaktor, ki škodljive izpušne pline pretvarja v okolju prijaznejše snovi), ki prede v podvozju naših vozil.
Today, thanks mainly to catalytic converters, and together with advanced fuel regulations and engine technology, new cars in Europe emit up to 95% less toxic gas than they did 20 years ago.
Predvsem katalizatorju, pa tudi boljšim predpisom o gorivu in napredku v tehnologiji motorjev se lahko zahvalimo, da danes novi avtomobili v Evropi oddajajo 95 % manj strupenih izpušnih plinov kot pred 20 leti.
Catalysers like this can change the molecules in your car’s exhaust gases into something much less harmful to European citizens and the environment.
Ti katalizatorji pretvarjajo molekule avtomobilskih izpušnih plinov v veliko manj škodljive snovi za okolje in prebivalce Evrope.
They first appeared in vehicles in Europe in 1985.
Na evropskih vozilih so se prvič pojavili leta 1985.
But then, due to far-reaching new European laws, catalytic converters have been fitted to every new car sold in the European Union since 1991.The technology is also one of the reasons that petrol is now lead-free; lead is as harmful to the converter’s systems, as it is to humans.
Od leta 1991 jih morajo po novih evropskih zakonih vgraditi v vsako novo vozilo, prodano v Evropski uniji. Ta tehnologija je tudi pripomogla k uveljavitvi neosvinčenega bencina, saj je svinec enako škodljiv za katalizatorje kot za ljudi.
What’s more, for petrol-engine cars, three-way catalysts have been developed that manage to transform simultaneously poisonous carbon monoxide and noxious unburnt hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water.
Za vozila z bencinskimi motorji so poleg tega razvili trismerne katalizatorje, ki lahko hkrati pretvarjajo strupeni ogljikov monoksid in škodljive neizgorele ogljikove vodike v ogljikov dioksid in vodo.
At the same time, they turn harmful nitrogen oxide compounds into harmless nitrogen.
Istočasno pretvarjajo škodljive spojine dušikovega oksida v neškodljivi dušik.
For diesel vehicles, catalytic oxidation does the same trick with carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and, increasingly, fi lters and other devices are being used which remove small diesel particles that could be harmful if breathed deep into your lungs.
Pri dizelskih vozilih ima katalitična oksidacija enak učinek na ogljikov monoksid in ogljikove vodike, poleg tega filtri in drugi sistemi odstranjujejo majhne delce dizelskega goriva, ki bi bili lahko škodljivi, če bi jih vdihnili.
Of course, the catalytic story doesn’t end here; this sort of technology is continually developing, trying to reduce exhaust gas emissions further and improving the quality of air for everyone.
Seveda pa se zgodba o katalizatorju s tem ne konča. Tehnologija se nenehno izpopolnjuje, da bi še bolj zmanjšala emisije izpušnih plinov in izboljšala kakovost zraka za vse nas.
Pet project
Hišni ljubljenčki
Holidays abroad used to mean leaving one important member of the family behind: the pet!
Letovanje v tujini je včasih pomenilo, da je bilo treba doma pustiti pomembnega družinskega člana: hišnega ljubljenčka!
But, thanks to the EU pet passport ‘man’s best friend’ can now enjoy the whole of Europe.
S potnim listom EU za hišne ljubljenčke pa lahko Evropo odkriva tudi „človekov najboljši prijatelj“.
Since 2004, the European pet passport has made it much easier for pets to travel with their owners throughout Europe.
Od leta 2004 lahko hišni ljubljenčki z evropskim potnim listom laže spremljajo svoje gospodarje na potovanju po Evropi.
And it is not just cats and dogs that can get a passport – even a pet ferret can get one !
Potni list ni mišljen samo za mačke in pse – tudi beli dihur ga lahko ima!
The practicalities are simple: owners take their pet to the vet to get a passport before they set off on their holiday. The document gives details of important vaccinations and any other relevant medical treatments your pet has undergone.
Uradna pot je enostavna: lastnik pred odhodom na počitnice pripelje žival k veterinarju, ki zanjo izda potni list in vanj vpiše podatke o pomembnih cepljenjih in zdravljenjih.
More information: :
Vzemi me s seboj!
One of the things the passport shows is that each pet has a valid vaccination certifi cate for rabies. This is the main requirement for entry to all European countries and is an important step in helping to control this vicious disease which can affect both animals and humans.
V potnem listu je predvsem navedeno, da ima vsak hišni ljubljenček veljavno potrdilo o cepljenju proti steklini.To je glavni pogoj za vstop v vseh evropskih državah, pomeni tudi pomemben napredek pri nadzorovanju te zahrbtne bolezni, ki lahko prizadene živali in ljudi.
Some countries (Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom) also need to know that the rabies vaccination has been effective, which means an additional test, which any vet can arrange.
Nekatere države (Irska, Malta, Švedska in Združeno kraljestvo) zahtevajo tudi potrdilo, da je bilo cepljenje učinkovito, kar pomeni dodatno testiranje, ki ga lahko opravi vsak veterinar.
In addition, a few European countries like to see evidence of other treatments for ticks and tapeworms, so it is important that pet owners check the requirements before they set off.
V nekaterih evropskih državah zahtevajo dokazilo o cepljenju živali proti klopom in trakulji, zato je pred odhodom dobro preveriti pogoje v določeni državi.
