The actions included the use of national funding and the European Social Fund for increasing the skills and competence levels among workers in Europe (often in combination with short-time work), and creating more apprenticeships across the EU for young people facing unemployment.
Med predlaganimi ukrepi je bila tudi uporaba nacionalnih sredstev in sredstev iz Evropskega socialnega sklada za izboljšanje spretnosti in veščin evropskih delavcev (pogosto tudi v kombinaciji s skrajšanim delovnikom) in za to, da bi mladim ljudem v EU, ki jim grozi brezposelnost, odprli več možnosti za pripravništva.
The proposals appeared in a follow-up communication — A shared commitment for employment (26) — in June, urging the Member States to work together to turn the recession into an opportunity for renewal, and for creating a more productive, innovative, better skilled and lowcarbon economy.
Predlogi so bili objavljeni junija v nadaljnjem sporočilu z naslovom Skupna zaveza za zaposlovanje (26), v katerem je Komisija države članice pozvala, naj recesijo izkoristijo kot priložnost za oživitev in ustvarjanje produktivnejšega in inovativnejšega gospodarstva z bolje usposobljeno delovno silo in nizkimi emisijami ogljika.
Green jobs, it said, have the potential to become a key growth segment, and the renewable energy sector alone could employ 2.8 million people by 2020.
V sporočilu je zapisano, da so lahko okolju prijazna delovna mesta ključni segment rasti, sam sektor energije iz obnovljivih virov pa bi do leta 2020 lahko zaposloval 2,8 milijona ljudi.

TRAINING AND SHORTTIME WORK
USPOSABLJANJE IN SKRAJŠANI DELOVNIK
The EU’s cohesion funding — particularly the European Social Fund and European Regional Development Fund, in May — and European Investment Bank lending were adjusted to maximise job retention and creation. In July 2009,
Evropska unija bo k tem prizadevanjem prispevala s spodbujanjem sodelovanja, usklajevanja in medsebojnega učenja.
The ProAct scheme, with €40 million financing from the European Social Fund, is an example of how the EU has supported employment and responded to the economic crisis, improving workers’ skills.
Primer, kako EU podpira ustvarjanje delovnih mest in se na krizo odziva z izboljševanjem usposobljenosti delavcev, je Program ProAct, ki obsega 40 milijonov EUR sredstev iz Evropskega socialnega sklada.
ProAct provides alternatives to redundancies by supporting short-time working with retraining during the days not worked. It also helps apprentices complete their training in cases where their employers are struggling with a falloff in business activity caused by the crisis.
ProAct namesto odpuščanja presežne delovne sile omogoča alternativno rešitev in sicer skrajšani delovnik v kombinaciji s preusposabljanjem ob dnevih, ko delavec ni v službi, pripravnikom pa v primerih, ko se njihovi delodajalci zaradi krize soočajo z upadom svojih poslovnih dejavnosti, omogoča dokončanje usposabljanja.
modify their programmes so as to fully exploit these funds in response to the crisis and to target their interventions on those hit by the crisis.
Da bi omogočili čim večje ohranjanje in ustvarjanje delovnih mest, je bilo prilagojeno financiranje iz kohezijskih skladov EU, zlasti iz Evropskega socialnega sklada, v maju pa tudi iz Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj, ter nudenje posojil iz EIB.
To help keep people in work with training or retraining, the Commission proposed adapting the funding rules so they could, for example, support short-time working combined with retraining.
V prizadevanju, da bi zaposlenim ljudem pomagala z usposabljanjem in preusposabljanjem, je Komisija hkrati predlagala prilagoditev pravil financiranja, tako da bi bilo na primer mogoče kombinirati skrajšani delovnik s programi preusposabljanja.
Member States were given the option to use unspent funds from the 2000–06 programming period.
Države članice so dobile možnost porabe neizkoriščenih sredstev iz programskega obdobja 2000–2006.
From the European Social Fund alone, an additional €7 billion of upfront liquidity was released, and advances for 2009 (nearly €2.3 billion) could be used to finance active labour market measures and other crisis-related activities.
Samo iz Evropskega socialnega sklada je bilo danih na voljo dodatnih 7 milijard EUR vnaprej določenih sredstev za likvidnost, predplačila za leto 2009 v višini skoraj 2,3 milijarde EUR pa je bilo mogoče uporabiti za financiranje aktivnih ukrepov na trgu dela in drugih dejavnosti v zvezi z gospodarsko krizo.
In total, Member States received more than €6.1 billion as advance payments from the fund between 2007 and 2009 in order to get programmes started quickly.
Med letoma 2007 in 2009 so tako države članice iz skladov prejele več kot 6,1 milijarde EUR predplačil za hitro izvedbo ustreznih programov.
The EU also lightened the administrative burden on the many small, local organisations that received European Social Fund financing for employment-related projects, by introducing flat-rate payments and grants.
Z uvedbo pavšalnih plačil in donacij je Evropska unija sprostila administrativna bremena za številne male lokalne organizacije, ki so iz Evropskega socialnega sklada prejele sredstva za programe zaposlovanja.
BILLIONS OF EUROS OF EU FUNDS FOR SOCIAL SPENDING
MILIJARDE EVROV SREDSTEV EU ZA SOCIALNE ODHODKE
In July 2009 the European Commission proposed a new microfinance facility (29) providing microcredit to small businesses and to people who had lost their jobs and wanted to start their own small businesses.
Julija 2009 je Evropska Komisija predlagala vzpostavitev novega mikrofinančnega instrumenta (29) za zagotavljanje mikrokreditov malim podjetjem in ljudem, ki so ostali brez zaposlitve ter želijo ustanoviti svoja mala podjetja.
This facility was applied drawing on the expertise of the EIB and the European Investment Fund.
Instrument je bil razvit na podlagi izkušenj EIB in Evropskega investicijskega sklada.
It involved the reallocation of €100 million from the existing EU budget, with the aim of leveraging €500 million of microcredits for would-be entrepreneurs who did not meet the normal criteria for obtaining funds to set up a business.
Pri tem je šlo za prerazporeditev 100 milijonov EUR sredstev iz obstoječega proračuna EU z namenom, da se omogoči za 500 milijonov EUR mikrokreditov bodočim podjetnikom, ki sicer ne izpolnjujejo običajnih meril za pridobitev sredstev za zagon podjetja.
In December this legislation was with the Parliament and the Council for approval.
Omenjena zakonodaja je decembra čakala na potrditev v Parlamentu in Svetu.
The EU made available billions of euros of planned European Social Fund expenditure to support people hit by the economic crisis and proposed relaxations to the obligation for Member States to contribute cofinancing for 2009–10.
Državljanom, prizadetim zaradi gospodarske krize, je EU namenila milijarde evrov sredstev v okviru predvidenih izdatkov Evropskega socialnega sklada, obenem pa je omilila obveznost držav članic, naj soprispevajo sredstva za obdobje 2009–10.
It also turned the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund into an instrument to counter the social consequences of the crisis.
Evropski sklad za prilagoditev globalizaciji je Unija preoblikovala v instrument za reševanje socialnih posledic krize.
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, initially designed to provide support to workers made redundant as a result of changes in world trade patterns when local economic activity suffers from relocation, was also reoriented towards assisting those made redundant as a result of the current economic and financial crisis (30).
Tudi Evropski sklad za prilagoditev globalizaciji, prvotno ustanovljen z namenom zagotavljanja podpore delavcem, ki so izgubili delo zaradi sprememb v svetovnih trgovinskih tokovih in negativnih posledic selitve proizvodnje na lokalno gospodarstvo, je svoja prizadevanja preusmeril k podpori tistim, ki so bili ob delo zaradi sedanje gospodarske in finančne krize (30).
It protected jobs and gave people who had lost their jobs the opportunity to get back into work faster, and into better work.
Tako je pomagal ohraniti delovna mesta, brezposelnim pa ponudil priložnost, da se hitreje vrnejo v proces dela in obenem najdejo boljše delo.
A study released in 2009 (and based on 2008 data) revealed that 69 % of workers helped by the fund found a new job.
Študija, ki je bila objavljena leta 2009, temeljila pa je na podatkih iz predhodnega leta, je pokazala, da je 69 % delavcev, ki so prejeli pomoč Sklada, našlo novo delo.
During 2009, €2.7 million was approved for workers made redundant in the automotive sector in Spain, €5.5 million for newly unemployed telecommunications workers in Germany, €14.8 million for redundant workers in the computer industry in Ireland, and €832 800 for textile workers in Portugal.
2,7 milijona EUR sredstev je bilo leta 2009 namenjenih brezposelnim delavcem v španski avtomobilski industriji, 5,5 milijona EUR je šlo za prekvalifikacijo in pomoč pri iskanju novega dela 1 300 novim brezposelnim v nemškem telekomunikacijskem sektorju, 14,8 milijona EUR je bilo namenjenih za pomoč 2 400 presežnim delavcem v irski računalniški industriji, 832 800 EUR pa za delavce v portugalski tekstilni industriji.
In addition, before the end of the year the Commission proposed assistance under the fund to 480 electrical equipment workers in Lithuania, 400 car workers in Austria, 1 793 former Karmann employees in Germany, 1 500 former workers of Volvo and its suppliers in Sweden, and 435 construction workers in the Netherlands.
Poleg tega je Komisija še pred koncem leta predlagala pomoč v okviru sklada za 480 zaposlenih v litovski industriji električne opreme, 400 delavcev v avstrijski avtomobilski panogi, 1 793 bivših zaposlenih v nemški družbi Karmann, 1 500 bivših delavcev švedskega Volva in njegovih dobaviteljev ter 435 gradbenih delavcev na Nizozemskem.
In December, the Parliament adopted a resolution in support of various schemes (31).
Decembra je Parlament sprejel resolucijo o podpori različnim programom (31).
COMMON ACTION KEY TO NEW JOBS
SKUPNO UKREPANJE JE KLJUČ DO NOVIH DELOVNIH MEST
Not only was funding made available, but the EU also provided information on how the money could be accessed and used.
EU je poleg finančnih sredstev zagotovila tudi informacije o tem, kako priti do njih in kako jih uporabiti.
For instance, it organised a seminar on ‘Managing the social dimension of the crisis in the automotive sector’ in April to demonstrate to Member States the opportunities offered by the European Social Fund and the Globalisation Adjustment Fund.
V aprilu je na primer organizirala seminar z naslovom „Reševanje socialnih razsežnosti krize v avtomobilskem sektorju“, na katerem je državam članicam pokazala možnosti, ki jih ponujata Evropski socialni sklad in Evropski sklad za prilagoditev globalizaciji.
Through measures of this type the EU supported the Member States in reintegrating redundant workers back into the labour market, helping them focus on those most in need, and maintaining investments in skills and training.
S tovrstnimi ukrepi je EU pomagala državam članicam pri ponovnem vključevanju presežnih delavcev na trg delovne sile, usmerjanju sredstev na najbolj kritične skupine ter ohranjanju naložb v izobraževanje in usposabljanje.
‘We cannot prevent this crisis from causing unemployment.
Predsednik Komisije José Manuel Barroso je maja na posebnem vrhu o zaposlovanju izjavil:„Ne moremo preprečiti, da bi ta kriza povzročala brezposelnost.
Many have suffered already.
Številni so že prizadeti.
But by acting now and in partnership along with the governments, the European institutions, the social partners, we believe we can reduce job losses, and help millions of people to find new and better jobs,’ said José Manuel Barroso at a special employment summit in May.
Verjamemo pa, da lahko s takojšnjim ukrepanjem in v sodelovanju z vladami, evropskimi institucijami in socialnimi partnerji zmanjšamo izgubo delovnih mest ter milijonom ljudem pomagamo poiskati novo in boljše delo“.
To give greater flexibility in the application of VAT rates in sectors where they could stimulate job creation, the Council adopted the revised VAT directive enabling all Member States that wish to do so to apply reduced rates for locally supplied labour intensive services (within the housing sector, on minor repairs of goods, restaurants, domestic and personal care, gardening, etc.).
Da bi omogočil večjo prožnost pri uporabi stopenj DDV v tistih sektorjih, kjer bi lahko spodbudile ustvarjanje delovnih mest, je Svet sprejel popravljeno direktivo o DDV, ki vsem državam članicam, ki to želijo, dovoljuje uporabo nižjih stopenj za
RESTORING LIQUIDITY
PONOVNA VZPOSTAVITEV LIKVIDNOSTI
Action to defend the real economy of jobs and enterprise also required steps to get markets moving again.
Pri ukrepih za zaščito realnega gospodarstva delovnih mest in podjetij je bilo treba tudi ponovno oživiti trge.
During 2009, financial markets still needed assistance while liquidity remained tight — constraining economic activity among businesses and consumers.
V letu 2009 so finančni trgi še potrebovali pomoč, šibka likvidnost pa je omejevala gospodarsko aktivnost med podjetji in potrošniki.
Sharp reductions in key euro-area interest rates continued in order to encourage lending.
Nadaljevalo se je zmanjševanje ključnih obrestnih mer v evroobmočju, da bi spodbudilo dajanje posojil.
They fell from 2.5 % in December 2008 to a historical low of 1 % in July 2009.
Obrestne mere so tako padle z 2,5 % v decembru 2008 na zgodovinsko najnižjo vrednost 1 % v juliju 2009.

Some €3.6 trillion has been made available in state guarantees for liabilities in the financial sector since October last year, almost a third of EU GDP — not designed to bail out bankers, but to stabilise expectations and, in consequence, to make use of the guarantees unnecessary.
Od lanskega oktobra je bilo zagotovljenih okoli 3,6 bilijona EUR državnih jamstev za obveznosti v finančnem sektorju, kar je skoraj tretjina BDP Evropske unije.
Lowering interest rates was not the only weapon deployed.
Pri tem ne gre za reševanje bankirjev, temveč za stabilizacijo pričakovanj, tako da uporaba jamstev ne bi bila več potrebna.
The European Central Bank took further non-standard monetary policy measures after the extra liquidity injections and long-term liquidity provision in 2007.
Zmanjševanje obrestnih mer pa ni bilo edino orodje, ki ga je uporabila ECB; po izrednih injekcijah in dolgoročni zagotovitvi likvidnostnih sredstev v letu 2007 je namreč izvedla tudi druge nestandardne ukrepe monetarne politike.
It had reinforced its efforts in 2008 by moving to a scheme under which, rather than allowing auctions to determine the cost of central bank lending and thus possibly limit its volume, the bank fixed a low interest rate for lending to financial institutions and then supplied as much liquidity as was required at that price.
Leta 2008 je ECB svoja prizadevanja okrepila in uvedla nov pristop, pri katerem se obseg posojil centralne banke ne določa več na dražbah, zaradi česar bi bil ta lahko omejen, temveč banka določi nizko obrestno mero za posojila finančnim institucijam, nato pa da na voljo toliko likvidnostnih sredstev, kolikor jih je pri zadevni ceni potrebnih.
The impact of this approach was intensified in 2009 by thrice offering unlimited liquidity at 1 % with one year maturity (double the previous longest maturity).
Učinek tega pristopa se je v letu 2009 povečal, saj je bila trikrat dana na voljo neomejena likvidnost ob obrestni meri 1 % z enoletnim rokom zapadlosti (kar je dvakrat toliko, kot je trajal prejšnji najdaljši rok zapadlosti).
And after the bank had, in 2008, broadened the list of assets that it accepted as collateral for these loans, by mid-2009 the value of eligible assets had reached over €12 trillion, which helped ease the strains on commercial bank lending.
Potem ko je banka leta 2008 razširila seznam premoženjskih sredstev, ki jih priznava kot zavarovanje za tovrstna posojila, je vrednost finančnih sredstev za zavarovanje terjatev do sredine leta 2009 presegla 12 bilijonov EUR, zaradi česar se je zmanjšal pritisk na posojila poslovnih bank.
In 2009, the Eurosystem launched a new enhanced credit support measure, the gradual purchase of a new covered bond portfolio totalling €60 billion, to contribute to the reactivation of this market, and so to ease the funding of banks and the flows of credit to the economy (32).
Da bi prispeval k obuditvi bančnega trga ter olajšal financiranje bank in priliv kreditov v gospodarstvo, se je Evropski sistem centralnih bank v letu 2009 odločil za nov ukrep v zvezi s posojili in sicer za postopen nakup novega portfelja kritih obveznic v skupnem znesku 60 milijard EUR (32).
Impaired asset relief improves the capital position of banks, making it easier for them to lend to the real economy.
Finančna pomoč za oslabljena sredstva izboljšuje konsolidacijo bank, te pa lahko nato laže dajejo posojila realnemu gospodarstvu.
The EU streamlined some of its procedures so that citizens could benefit more quickly from its instruments.
Da bi državljani hitreje imeli koristi od njenih instrumentov, je EU poenostavila nekatere svoje postopke.
The requirement for prior approval by the Commission for funding from the Cohesion Funds was temporarily eased, accelerating the procedure for projects costing €50 million (or €25 million for environment-related schemes).
Zahteva, da mora Komisija predhodno odobriti financiranje iz kohezijskih skladov, je bila začasno omiljena, s čimer se je pospešil postopek za financiranje projektov, ki stanejo več kot 50 milijonov EUR (ali 25 milijonov EUR v primeru okoljskih programov).
Some 900 such largescale projects are being implemented in 2007–13, representing a total investment of €120 billion.
V obdobju 2007–13 se izvaja okoli 900 tovrstnih obsežnih projektov v skupni vrednosti 120 milijard EUR.
The Commission also prepared simplified procedures to allow faster implementation of Structural and Cohesion Fund investments.
Obenem je Komisija poenostavila postopke za hitrejše izvajanje naložb iz strukturnih in kohezijskih skladov.
An agreement to reduce the costs of trade mark registration by 40 % as of May 2009 was designed to save EU businesses up to €60 million annually.
S sporazumom o znižanju cene za registracijo blagovnih znamk za 40 %, kar velja od maja 2009, naj bi podjetja v EU letno prihranila do 60 milijonov EUR.
A further agreement by governments to accept e-invoicing from smaller firms — via a change to the VAT directive on invoicing rules — was estimated to save up to €18 billion a year by reducing burdens on business, supporting small and mediumsized enterprises, and helping Member States to tackle fraud.
Na podlagi spremenjene direktive o DDV, kar zadeva izdajanje računov, so se vlade dogovorile, da lahko mala podjetja izdajajo račune v elektronski obliki; s pričakovanim letnim prihrankom do 18 milijonov EUR naj bi v tem pogledu razbremenili podjetja, pomagali malim in srednje velikim podjetjem, države članice pa naj bi se laže borile proti goljufijam.
(The EU’s better regulation programme also contributed: more details appear in Chapter 4.)
(Pomembno je prispeval tudi Program boljše pravne ureditve EU; več o tem v 4. poglavju).
As the EU and its Member States battled to overcome the crisis, in the face of dramatic falls in global stock markets and cuts in the household budgets and future pensions of EU citizens, one of the priorities was to prevent any repetition of such a crisis.
Medtem ko so se EU in države članice spopadale s krizo, je bila ob dramatičnem padcu na svetovnih borznih trgih ter zmanjšanju proračunov gospodinjstev in prihodnjih pokojnin državljanov EU ena glavnih nalog preprečiti morebitno ponovitev take krize.
This, the EU argued, required profound reform of financial markets’ regulation and supervision.
Za ta cilj je po zatrjevanjih EU potrebna globoka reforma pravne ureditve finančnih trgov.
Vigorous action was required, both within the EU and in the major international arenas, to establish common principles for more effective supervision.
Ne le to, potrebni so tudi konkretni ukrepi znotraj EU in na širšem mednarodnem prizorišču, da se vzpostavijo skupna načela za učinkovitejši nadzor.
The EU has worked — in close collaboration with its major partners — to build a new supervisory architecture, and to create the necessary complementary legislation to bring security and stability to world financial markets.
EU si je v tesnem sodelovanju s svojimi najpomembnejšimi partnerji prizadevala oblikovati novo nadzorno strukturo in potrebno dopolnilno zakonodajo, s katerima naj bi na svetovnih finančnih trgih spet vzpostavili varnost in stabilnost.

PRVI PREDLOGI ob et ge s Ge or
In 2008, the Commission asked a high-level expert group to recommend an improved financial supervisory framework that would prevent repetition of the financial crisis.
Leta 2008 je Komisija zaprosila strokovno skupino na visoki ravni, naj predlaga nov in izboljšan finančni nadzorni okvir, ki bi preprečeval ponovitev finančne krize.
This group was chaired by the former president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Jacques de Larosière. The resulting report made 31 clear recommendations, covering better regulation and better supervision.
Skupina, ki ji je predsedoval bivši predsednik Evropske banke za obnovo in razvoj Jacques de Larosière, je v svojem poročilu predstavila 31 podrobnih predlogov za boljšo upravno ureditev in nadzor.
The EU plan for better regulation of banks was first prepared by an expert group headed by the experienced French banker Jacques de Larosière.
Načrt EU za boljšo pravno ureditev bank je pripravila skupina strokovnjakov, ki jo je vodil izkušeni francoski bančnik Jacques de Larosière.
SWIFT ACTION BY EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT FOR SAFER FINANCES
HITRO UKREPANJE EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA ZA VEČJO VARNOST FINANC
On the basis of the de Larosière report, in March 2009 the Commission presented its communication ‘Driving European recovery’. It proposed reforms with ve key objectives:
Na podlagi poročila de Larosièrove skupine je Komisija marca 2009 predstavila sporočilo z naslovom Spodbujanje okrevanja evropskega gospodarstva, v katerem je predlagala reformo s petimi ključnimi cilji:
4providing a more eective and timely supervisory framework to detect and negate risks in financial markets;
4zagotoviti učinkovitejši in časovno ustreznejši nadzorni okvir za prepoznavanje in odpravljanje tveganj na finančnih trgih;
4lling in the gaps in EU and national regulatory frameworks;
4zapolniti vrzeli v pravnih okvirih EU in držav članic;
4ensuring that individual investors and SMEs can be condent about the security of their savings and their rights;
4zagotoviti, da bodo lahko posamezni vlagatelji ter mala in srednje velika podjetja brezskrbna glede varnosti svojih prihrankov in da se bodo zavedala svojih pravic;
‘The European Parliament has taken swift and responsible action on the proposals that have been put forward.
Predsednik Evropskega parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering je na zasedanju Evropskega sveta junija dejal: „Evropski parlament je v zvezi s predstavljenimi predlogi ukrepal hitro in odgovorno.
Before the legislative term ended Parliament completed its work on deposit-guarantee schemes, credit rating agencies, the capital requirements of the banking industry and Solvency II.’
Še pred koncem mandatne dobe smo končali svoje delo pri sistemih zajamčenih vlog, bonitetnih agencijah, kapitalskih zahtevah bančnega sektorja in projektu Solventnost II.“
