Europe is the first economy in the world to put in place legally binding measures that will allow it, by 2020, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, to increase the share of renewables in energy consumption to 20%, and to boost energy efficiency by 20%. %.
Evropa je prvo gospodarstvo na svetu, ki je sprejelo pravno zavezujoče ukrepe, s katerimi bo lahko do leta 2020 zmanjšalo emisije toplogrednih plinov za 20%, povečalo delež uporabe obnovljivih energij pri porabi energije na 20% in izboljšalo energetsko učinkovitost za 20%. %.
e EU’s climate and energy package represents a green ‘new deal’.
Dokazuje, da je možno oblikovati okolju prijazne politike, ki delujejo tudi kot gonilna sila za rast in delovna mesta.
It shows that it is possible to design climate-friendly policies that also act as drivers for growth and jobs.
Prehod na nizkoogljično gospodarstvo bo spodbudil inovacije, zagotovil nove poslovne priložnosti in ustvaril nova zelena delovna mesta.
Moving to a lowcarbon economy will encourage innovation, provide new business opportunities and create new green jobs. is policy also reduces the exposure of the EU economy to rising and volatile energy prices, geopolitical risks and risks related to inadequate supply chains that are not keeping up with global demand growth.
Ta politika tudi zmanjšuje izpostavljenost gospodarstva EU rastočim in nestanovitnim cenam energije, geopolitičnim tveganjem in tveganjem, povezanim z neprimernimi dobavnimi verigami, ki ne sledijo rasti globalnega povpraševanja.
Finally, it places us in a good position ahead of the International Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
Prav tako nas postavlja v dober položaj pred mednarodno konferenco o podnebnih spremembah, ki bo v Københavnu.
Moreover, Europe has made major strides towards a common energy policy, putting in place a true internal market, and tackling the vulnerability of gas supplies by a Europe-wide energy grid and rules for solidarity in a crisis.
Evropa je prav tako dosegla viden napredek na področju skupne energetske politike z vzpostavitvijo pravega notranjega trga, vprašanje ranljivosti oskrbe s plinom pa je rešila z vzpostavitvijo enotnega evropskega plinskega omrežja ter uvedbo pravil za solidarnost v krizi.
Almost 4 out of €5 billion of the specific Union contribution to Europe’s economic recovery plan are devoted to funding trans-European energy infrastructure.
Financiranju vseevropske energetske infrastrukture je namenjenih skoraj 4 od skupno 5 milijard EUR posebnega prispevka Unije v Evropski načrt za oživitev gospodarstva.
Europe’s place in the world rests not only on its scale, with 27 countries bringing together half a billion citizens. It is also committed to a shared view of the world: democratic, free trade, outward looking, responsible and non-confrontational.
Položaja Evrope v svetu ne določa le njena velikost, ki obsega 27 držav in pol milijarde državljanov, ampak tudi njena predanost skupni viziji sveta, ki je demokratičen, ima prosto trgovino, je usmerjen v prihodnost, je odgovoren in nekonflikten.
It has all the assets to take a lead in reforming global governance to address the challenges of globalisation, such as poverty, global health issues, migration, environmental protection or terrorism.
EU ima vse prednosti, da prevzame vodstvo pri preoblikovanju svetovne politike za reševanje problemov globalizacije, kot so revščina, vprašanja splošnega zdravja, migracije, varstvo okolja ali terorizem.
Over the last five years, the EU has demonstrated its capacity to help bring solutions to the crises in Georgia, the Middle East and Africa.
V zadnjih petih letih je EU dokazala svoje zmogljivosti pri iskanju rešitev kriz v Gruziji, na Bližnjem Vzhodu in v Afriki.
It has shown moral and political leadership in the context of the financial crisis, with the G20 agenda reflecting European priorities and solutions; and is leading by example in the climate change negotiations.
Dokazala je sposobnost moralnega in političnega vodenja v okviru finančne krize, ko so bile v agendi G20 povzete evropske prednostne naloge in rešitve. Daje tudi zgled v posvetovanjih o podnebnih spremembah.
At the same time, it has invested in regional stability in its neighbourhood and has promoted effective and ambitious partnerships with global powers to defend the European interest and European values.
Hkrati vlaga v regionalno stabilnost v svoji soseski ter spodbuja učinkovita in ambiciozna partnerstva s svetovnimi silami za zaščito evropskih interesov in vrednot.
Transatlantic relations, the partnership with Africa, and the approach to emerging powers such as China, India and Brazil all show a confident and effective EU, valued as a reliable partner.
Čezatlantski odnosi, partnerstvo z Afriko ter pristop do rastočih sil, kot so Kitajska, Indija in Brazilija, kažejo samozavestno in učinkovito EU, ki je cenjena kot zanesljiva partnerica.
The challenges in 2004 is Commission started its work against the background of a rapidly changing Europe.
Izzivi v letu 2004
Just a few months before, the EU had completed an enlargement unprecedented in its scale and ambition.
Le nekaj mesecev prej je EU izvedla širitev, ki po obsegu in ambicijah ni primerljiva z ostalimi.
Ten new Member States had joined the Union, and it was preparing to complete this enlargement with the accessions of Bulgaria and Romania at the start of 2007.
Uniji se je pridružilo deset novih držav članic, pripravljal pa se je tudi že zaključek te širitve s pristopom Bolgarije in Romunije v začetku leta 2007.
is enlargement demanded reforms to the EU’s priorities and its way of working.
Države članice, katerih število se je skoraj podvojilo, so prinesle dodatno raznolikost z vsem bogastvom in kompleksnostjo, ki izhajata iz nje.
A near-doubling of Member States brought extra diversity, with all the richness, and the complexity, that follows.
Vpristop Unije je bilo treba vključiti nove politične perspektive in zgodovinske izkušnje.
It meant incorporating new political perspectives and historical experiences into the Union’s approach.
Potrebne so bile institucionalne prilagoditve in premagovanje novih razlik v gospodarskem razvoju.
It meant institutional adjustments and tackling new divergences in economic development. is process of adaptation needed attention and sensitivity, to reshape policies and practices without losing the momentum of EU action.
Za ta postopek prilagoditve sta bili potrebni pozornost in obzirnost za preoblikovanje politik in praks, ne da bi pri tem ukrepi EU izgubili zagon.
e consolidation of an enlarged Europe took place against the backdrop of a challenging political environment.
Usklajevanje razširjene Evrope se je dogajalo v okviru spreminjajočega se političnega okolja.
Divisions over foreign policy had created tensions in the EU’s approach to external relations. ere were doubts about the effectiveness of key policy tools such as the Lisbon strategy and the Stability and Growth Pact.
Razhajanja na področju zunanje politike so povzročila napetosti v pristopu EU na področju zunanjih odnosov.
ese pressures inside Europe were matched by a growing realisation of the importance of globalisation.
Tem pritiskom znotraj Evrope se je pridružilo vse močnejše zavedanje pomena globalizacije.
As new global powers emerged and societies across the world had to adapt to a new interdependence, Europe could not allow itself to neglect the new realities.
Ko so se pojavile nove svetovne sile in so se morale družbe po vsem svetu prilagoditi na novo soodvisnost, si Evropa ni mogla privoščiti, da bi te nove razmere prezrla.
Tackling issues like energy security, climate change, and migration — as well as facing up to the challenge of economic crisis — required a European response.
Reševanje vprašanj, kot so zanesljiva oskrba zenergijo, podnebne spremembe in migracije, ter soočanje z izzivi gospodarske krize so zahtevali odziv Evrope.
As a champion of open markets and heavily reliant on trade, the EU faced the imperative of shaping globalisation to bring benefits for the European economy and European society.
EU je vodilna na prostih trgih in zelo odvisna od trgovine. Zato je nujno, da sodeluje pri preoblikovanju globalizacije, da bi zagotovila koristi za evropsko gospodarstvo in družbo.

Serving Europe’s citizens e European Union exists to serve its citizens.
Evropska unija obstaja zato, da služi svojim državljanom.
Its principles, values and objectives are set out in the Treaties.
Njeni načela, vrednote in cilji so določeni v pogodbah.
But these must result in direct benefits for European citizens, delivered in a way which fully respects Europe’s democratic traditions.
Vendar se morajo ti kazati vneposrednih koristih za evropske državljane, na način, ki je v celoti vskladu z demokratičnimi tradicijami Evrope.
e single market was built around the four key freedoms of goods, services, capital and persons. ese freedoms are not abstract economic ideals. ey represent freedom for individuals to travel, work, invest, and go about their business within the European Union.
Enotni trg je bil zgrajen na podlagi štirih temeljnih svobod – prostega pretoka blaga, storitev, kapitala in oseb. Te svobode niso abstraktni gospodarski ideali, temveč predstavljajo svobodo posameznikov, da lahko potujejo, delajo, vlagajo in poslujejo v Evropski uniji.
On this basis the EU has built a commitment to ensure high standards for citizens as consumers and travellers, and to play its part in providing the public service of increasing citizens’ safety and security.
Na tej podlagi se je EU zavezala, da bo zagotovila visoke standarde za državljane kot potrošnike in potnike ter da bo opravila svojo nalogo pri zagotavljanju javne službe za povečanje varnosti in zaščite državljanov.
Creating opportunities for Europeans e economic crisis has underlined how the single market is essential to help consumers and workers facing the hardship of economic downturn.
Gospodarska kriza je pokazala, kako pomemben je enotni trg za pomoč potrošnikom in delavcem, ki so v stiski zaradi gospodarske recesije.
e single market has already delivered great benefits to Europeans in terms of consumer choice and lower prices. e single euro payments area has made it as easy to make payments in another part of the euro area as to make them at home.
Enotni trg je Evropejcem prinesel velike koristi v smislu večje izbire za potrošnike in nižjih cen. Zaradi enotnega območja plačil v eurih je plačevanje v celotnem euroobmočju prav tako enostavno kot v domači državi.
The Commission worked with nine Member States to make possible the lifting of border controls in December 2007, creating new freedom for people and quicker and easier travelling.
Barrosova komisija je predlagala nova pravila o „gostovanju“, ki so zagotovila zmerne in pregledne cene za vse čezmejne klice, zaradi
market entrants and a careful watch over the market can bring lower prices for all. e Barroso Commission proposed new rules on ‘roaming’ which have brought affordable and transparent pricing for all cross-border calls, with price cuts of up to 60%.
Odprte meje v Evropi česar so se cene znižale do 60%.
Overall, mobile call prices fell by 14 % in 2006–07 alone.
Na splošno so se cene mobilnih klicev samo v letih 2006–2007 znižale za 14%. %.
Today, over 400 million people live in the Schengen area.
Komisija je sodelovala z devetimi državami članicami, da je omogočila odpravo nadzora na mejah decembra 2007, s čimer je bila ustvarjena nova svoboda za ljudi ter omogočeno hitrejše in enostavnejše potovanje.
It covers 22 EU Member States plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
Danes več kot 400 milijonov ljudi živi v schengenskem območju, ki obsega 22 držav članic EU ter Islandijo, Norveško in Švico.
This freedom to travel inside Europe has been accompanied by measures to ensure that security is not compromised as a result.
Svobodo potovanja po Evropi spremljajo ukrepi, ki zagotavljajo, da varnost ni ogrožena.
The Commission has proposed common standards of external border control, and strengthened cooperation through Frontex (the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders).
Komisija je predlagala skupne standarde za nadzor zunanje meje in okrepila sodelovanje v okviru Evropske agencije za zunanje meje (Frontex).
This has made a major contribution to the protection expected by citizens.
To je bil velik prispevek k pričakovani zaščiti.
A strong and consistent line in the enforcement of EU competition rules ensures that companies and states compete fairly, that they do not break the law to drive competitors out of the market and do not conspire to exploit consumers.
Strogo in skladno ravnanje pri izvajanju pravil EU glede konkurence zagotavlja, da med podjetji in državami ne prihaja do nepoštene konkurence, nezakonitega ravnanja z namenom izključitve konkurentov s trga ter da ne sklepajo medsebojnih dogovorov glede izkoriščanja potrošnikov.
As a result, in 2008 alone, competition enforcement has saved consumers more than €11billion and led to over €3billion in fines.
Kot rezultat je bilo samo leta 2008 z izvrševanjem pravil konkurence potrošnikom prihranjenih več kot 11 milijard EUR, izrečenih pa je bilo za več kot 3 milijarde EUR glob.
For example, in 2008 the Commission levied the largest cartel fine in EU history — nearly €900 million — on a glassware company.
Leta 2008 na primer je Komisija steklarskemu podjetju določila največjo kartelsko globo v zgodovini EU v višini skoraj 900milijonov EUR.
For five years,

it had kept the cost of car windows artificially high by agreeing prices with its competitors.
ceno avtomobilskih stekel pet let umetno držalo visoko, tako da se je ssvojimi konkurenti dogovarjalo o cenah.
Consumers also need to have proper protection when things go wrong.
Potrošniki potrebujejo ustrezno zaščito tudi v primeru, ko gre kaj narobe.
Air and rail passengers now have a right to compensation after long delays or cancellations. ere are new rules to stop hidden charges in airline websites — as well as a blacklist of airlines which fail to offer minimal safety guarantees. e ‘single European sky’ will lead to shorter and safer flights.
Letalski in železniški potniki imajo zdaj pravico do nadomestila pri zelo velikih zamudah ali odpovedih. Nova pravila so določena tudi za odpravo skritih stroškov, ki jih letalske družbe zaračunajo ob nakupu kart na spletu.
EU rules are also being used to ensure that bank depositors enjoy more rights and are guaranteed more compensation if hit by financial crisis.
Vzpostavljen je seznam letalskih prevoznikov, ki ne izpolnjujejo minimalnih varnostnih standardov. „Enotno evropsko nebo“ bo vodilo do krajših in varnejših letov.
Consumers can be surer than ever before that the rights they enjoy in one Member State will be mirrored in others.
Potrošniki so bolj kot kdajkoli lahko prepričani, da bodo pravice, ki jih imajo v eni državi članici, spoštovane tudi v drugih.
A major contribution that the EU can make is to give citizens the ability to work throughout the Union.
Glavni prispevek, ki ga EU lahko zagotovi državljanom, je možnost dela po vsej Uniji.
Part of the enlargement process has been a gradual increase in the freedom of citizens from newer Member States to work beyond their borders, a process which will be complete by 2011.
Del širitvenega procesa, ki se bo zaključil do leta 2011, je postopno povečanje svobode državljanov iz novih držav članic, da lahko delajo zunaj meja svoje države.
Citizens also need the confidence that in moving to work from one Member State to another, they will enjoy a basic set of rights. is is the goal of initiatives on non-discrimination and rules on minimum rights like maternity leave, as well as rules for temporary agency workers to ensure that such workers enjoy fair treatment.
Državljani morajo imeti zagotovila, da bodo imeli enake osnovne pravice, če se zaradi dela preselijo iz ene države članice v drugo. To je cilj pobud o nediskriminaciji in pravil ominimalnih pravicah, kot je porodniški dopust, ter pravil, da se delavcem, ki delajo prek agencij za zagotavljanje začasnega dela, zagotovi pravična obravnava.
e benefits of mobility go beyond the workplace.
Koristi, ki jih ima mobilnost, segajo dlje od delovnega mesta.
And proposals for cross-border patient care would ensure that moving within Europe is not an obstacle to offering good healthcare for all.
Predlogi za čezmejno zdravljenje bolnikov bodo zagotovili, da potovanje po Evropi ne bo ovira za kakovostno zdravstveno oskrbo.
Even a secure and prosperous society needs action to protect its citizens from risks.
Tudi varna in uspešna družba potrebuje ukrepe za zaščito svojih državljanov pred tveganji.
When the EU acts so that households do not have their energy cut off or that future generations are confronted by the worst ravages of climate change, it is looking ahead and tackling risks in good time.
Kadar EU deluje tako, da se gospodinjstvom ne prekine dobava energije ali da se prihodnje generacije ne bodo soočile z najhujšimi posledicami podnebnih sprememb, potem je usmerjena v prihodnost in se pravočasno sooča z izzivi.
When it identifies future skill sets and promotes technologies for tomorrow’s markets, it protects businesses and jobs from the risk of falling behind in the global economy.
Kadar določi prihodnje spretnosti in spodbuja tehnologije prihodnosti, potem varuje poslovanje in delovna mesta pred tveganjem, da bi zaostali za svetovnim gospodarstvom.
And when it liberalises in areas like postal services or transport, the EU acts at the same time to preserve public service standards through defining obligations to protect consumers’ interests.
In kadar EU liberalizira področja, kot so poštne storitve ali promet, hkrati pa določi obveznosti za varstvo interesov potrošnikov, ohranja standarde javnih storitev.
In a Europe with a single market and open borders, the European Union also has a particular responsibility to ensure that extra freedom does not have negative side-effects. at is why the freedom to move inside the EU is accompanied by measures to
V Evropi z enotnim trgom in odprtimi mejami mora Evropska unija tudi zagotoviti, da dodatne svobode nimajo negativnih učinkov. Zato svobodo gibanja znotraj EU spremljajo ukrepi za spodbujanje učinkovitega

sodelovanja med policijskimi in pravosodnimi organi po Evropi. Vzpostavljen je bil evropski nalog za prijetje za huda kazniva dejanja, ki je nadomestil predhodne dogovore držav članic o izročitvi.
In making procedures faster and simpler, and in ensuring decisions are taken without political interference, it has helped to ensure that justice is effectively and fairly pursued across national borders. ere have also been measures to allow exchange of DNA information, as well as increased help to victims of terrorism.
S pospešitvijo in poenostavitvijo postopkov ter izvrševanjem odločitev brez političnega vmešavanja se je pripomoglo k temu, da se pravica učinkovito doseže tudi zunaj nacionalnih meja. Sprejeti so bili tudi ukrepi, ki omogočajo izmenjavo informacij o DNK, ter za večjo pomoč žrtvam terorizma.
European cooperation can help to protect citizens in many different ways.
V okviru evropskega sodelovanja se lahko na številne različne načine nudi pomoč za zaščito državljanov.
Pooling civil protection resources means that help can be brought more quickly to the victims of natural disaster.
Združevanje virov civilne zaščite pomeni, da se lahko hitreje zagotovi pomoč žrtvam naravnih nesreč.
Concerted action in the avian flu crisis ensured that the risks to health were minimised.
Usklajeno delovanje v času krize zaradi ptičje gripe je zmanjšalo tveganja za zdravje.
A new information system ensures that health authorities across the EU are immediately alerted to new risks.
Nov informacijski sistem omogoča, da se organi zdravstvenega varstva po EU nemudoma obvestijo v primeru novih tveganj.
Responding to emergencies together
Skupen odziv na izredne razmere
So when one part of the EU faces a major natural catastrophe, it is natural for the EU to help.
Kadar del EU prizadene večja naravna nesreča, je samoumevno, da EU temu delu pomaga.
In the hours following a crisis, a mechanism set up by the Commission brings together civil protection teams from Member States to help local emergency services.
V urah, ki sledijo nesreči, se s pomočjo mehanizma, ki ga je vzpostavila Komisija, mobilizirajo enote civilne zaščite iz držav članic in pomagajo lokalnim službam za ukrepanje ob izrednih dogodkih.
This mechanism is now triggered some 20 times a year.
Vzpostavljen je tudi solidarnostni sklad EU, ki pomaga pri dolgoročnih obnovah.
And an EU Solidarity Fund has been set up to help long-term reconstruction — intervening 34 times since 2004, in 18 different Member States, with total support of €700m.
Sredstva iz sklada so se od leta 2004 uporabila v 34 primerih v 18 državah članicah, v celoti pa so znašala 700 milijonov EUR.
A typical example of this two-stage support came when forest fires ravaged Greece in 2007.
Taka vrsta pomoči v dveh fazah se je uporabila leta 2007, ko so Grčijo prizadeli hudi gozdni požari.
Nineteen different offers of assistance were taken up, to provide fi refi ghting teams, equipment, planes and helicopters.
Prejetih je bilo 19 različnih ponudb pomoči, v katerih so bili na voljo gasilske enote, oprema, letala in helikopterji.
And the Commission put in place almost €90m to meet the cost of cleaning up areas hit by the disaster, and restoring essential services.
Komisija je dala na voljo skoraj 90 milijonov EUR za pokritje stroškov čiščenja prizadetega območja in za ponovno vzpostavitev osnovnih storitev.
The EU as a working democracy
EU kot delujoča demokracija
Citizens have a right to expect the highest standards of democratic legitimacy and accountability from the institutions of the European Union.
Temelj tega sta stebra demokratičnega zastopanja v EU: Evropski parlament, v katerega so neposredno izvoljeni predstavniki državljanov, ter Svet in Evropski Svet, kot glas držav članic.
At the core of this are the two pillars of democratic representation in the EU: the European Parliament — as directly-elected representatives of the citizens — and the Council and European Council — as the voice of the Member States. e Treaty of Lisbon will reinforce this democratic core still further with more powers for the European Parliament, a greater role for national parliaments, and the introduction of a citizen’s initiative enabling direct petitioning with 1 million signatures.
Lizbonska pogodba bo še bolj okrepila to demokratično jedro s podelitvijo dodatnih pooblastil Evropskemu parlamentu, s priznanjem večje vloge nacionalnih parlamentov in zuvedbo pobude državljanov, ki omogoča neposredno vlaganje peticij z milijonom podpisov. Lizbonska pogodba bo tudi okrepila odgovornost Evropske komisije do drugih institucij.
e European Commission’s accountability to the other institutions will also be reinforced by the Treaty of Lisbon.
Komisija že zdaj prek Evropskega parlamenta namenja posebno pozornost odgovornosti, ki jo ima do javnosti.
Already, the Commission devotes particular attention to public accountability through the European Parliament.
Vsako leto odgovori na več kot 7 000parlamentarnih vprašanj, nastopi komisarjev v Parlamentu pa so zdaj redni sestavni del politik EU.
is Commission has actively encouraged participative democracy and dialogue. rough its Plan D initiative, launched in October 2005, it has created new forums and developed new processes allowing individuals and organisations in all 27 Member States to become more actively involved.
Ta Komisija dejavno spodbuja participativno demokracijo in dialog. Spobudo „načrt D“, ki se je začela izvajati oktobra 2005, je ustvarila nove forume in razvila nove postopke, ki posameznikom in organizacijam vvseh 27 državah članicah omogočajo dejavnejše vključevanje.
