EESC on space policy
EESO o vesoljskipolitiki politiki
An increasing number of applications is most desirable.
Zelo zaželeno je vse večje število aplikacij.
Up to now, the principle of ‘fair return’ of ESA industrial policy has been successful.
Doslej je bilo načelo „primerne donosnosti“ industrijske politike Evropske vesoljske agencije uspešno.
But the increasing maturity of the space market will require more flexibility.
Toda zaradi vse večje „zrelosti“ vesoljskega trga bo potrebna večja prožnost.
Strategic reasons — political and economic — require an independent European access to space.
Evropa iz strateških razlogov, tako političnih kot gospodarskih, potre-buje neodvisni dostop do vesolja.
Worldwide developments force the stronger action of Europe as competitor and partner. is is the message of an EESC opinion (rapporteur Mr van Iersel) adopted in its plenary session on 13 February.
Dogajanja v svetu jo silijo, da je kot konkurent in partner dejavnejša. To je sporočilo mnenja EESO (poročevalec g. van Iersel), ki je bilo sprejeto na plenarnem zasedanju 13. februarja.
All Member States, including the smaller and the new ones,must benefit from space policy.
EESO zato zagovarja odprto in pregledno analizo ter dialog o vprašanju, kakšno zmogljivost želi doseči Evropa čez deset let.
To that end,the EESC advocates an open and transparent analysis and dialogue on Europe’s desirable performance in 10 years’time.
Vesoljska politika mora koristiti vsem državam članicam, tudi način financiranja Evropske vesoljske agencije, dinamični prispevek MSP in ohranitev najvišje možne stopnje konkurenčnosti.
A push should be given to plan future systems that bring European countries together. ●
Spodbuditi je treba načrtovanje prihodnjih sistemov, ki bodo povezali evropske države. ●
EESC on consumer policy
EESO o potrošniškipolitiki politiki
The consumer policy strategy 2007–13: a bittersweet feeling by Anna Maria Darmanin hinder the realisation of the strategy’s aspirations.
Anna Maria Darmanin nika, ki bi lahko ovirala uresničitev ciljev strategije.
e European Commission has just published its long-awaited consumer strategy; long-awaited by the EESC because consumer rights protection is truly at the heart of civil society but due also to the fact that the Union is already one year into the period the strategy is supposed to cover.
Evropska komisija je pravkar objavila dolgo pričakovano strategijo potrošniške politike, ki jo je nestrpno pričakoval tudi EESO, saj je varstvo pravic potrošnikov za civilno družbo ključnega pomena, poleg tega pa je preteklo že eno leto obdobja, ki naj bi ga pokrivala strategija.
Anna-Maria Darmanin e communication leaves a bittersweet feeling; it is ambitious and forward looking, yet there are also real setbacks, which the EESC has highlighted.
Omejenost virov za to strategijo, ki jih ima na voljo generalni direktorat Komisije (GD SANCO), in uvrstitev varstva pravic potrošnikov v politike več služb Komisije sta samo dva dejav-
Limited resources within the Commission Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection championing the strategy and also the placing of consumer rights protection within the policies of the various Commission departments are just two of the elements that may e EESC calls for enforcement of legislation but moreover asserts that appropriate implementation of legislation comes about when all organisations involved, producers/service provider asso- e EESC welcomes the initiatives highlighted within the strategy and also highlights a number of challenges identified for 2007–13.
EESO poziva k izvrševanju zakonodaje, vendar poudarja, da je primerno izvajanje zakonodaje možno le, če vse vpletene organizacije, združenja proizvajalcev in ponudnikov storitev ter potrošniške organizacije zares sodelujejo in si skupaj prizadevajo za boljši notranji trg in spodbujanje varstva pravic potrošnikov. ●
Amongst these are concerns related to e-commerce, which is increasing in growth much faster then consumer rights protection.
EESO pozdravlja pobude v okviru te strategije in opozarja na nekatere izzive, ki jih je treba obravnavati v obdobju 2007–2013.
Responsible and sustainable production and consumption across the EU, necessitating education and information of both the consumer and the producer are indicated as priorities.
Med njimi je elektronsko poslovanje, ki narašča hitreje kot se razvija varstvo pravic potrošnikov.
Collective and individual means of redress together with protection on the international markets are also specified as challenges and areas to be focused on in the coming period.
Kot prednostno nalogo EESO navaja odgovorno in trajnostno proizvodnjo in potrošnjo v vsej EU, za katero je potrebno izobraževanje in obveščanje tako potrošnikov kot proizvajalcev.
ciations and consumer organisations, truly cooperate and work together for the better of the internal market and the furtherance of consumer rights protection. ●
Med izzivi in področji, na katera se je treba osredotočiti v prihajajočem obdobju, sta omenjena tudi kolektivno in individualno pravno varstvo potrošnikov ter varstvo njihovih pravic na mednarodnih trgih.
PLENARY SESSION IN A NUTSHELL
PLENARNO ZASEDANJE NA KRATKO
European digital library: Europe’s heritage goes digital
Evropska digitalna knjižnica: evropska dediščina postaja digitalno dostopna
Financial integration: competition vs concentration
Finančno povezovanje: konkurenca in koncentracija
EU fishery policy: how to avoid overfishing?
Ribiška politika EU: kako preprečiti prelov?
EESC rapporteur, Mr Sarró Iparraguirre, looks at ways of how to better manage the EU’s fishery policy and avoid overfishing endangered species.
Poročevalec EESO g. Iparraguirre proučuje načine za izboljšanje ribiške politike EU in preprečevanje prelova ogroženih vrst.
Setting up an EU-wide management system based on tradable fishing rights could prove difficult, but could be a means of achieving an exploitation of living aquatic resources in a manner that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions.
Uvedba sistema upravljanja za celotno EU, ki bi temeljil na tržljivih ribolovnih pravicah, bi lahko prinesla težave, vendar bi s tem lahko dosegli izkoriščanje živih vodnih virov na način, ki zagotavlja gospodarsko, okoljsko in socialno trajnost.
Duly updated fishing rights could help cut down overfishing and discards at sea substantially.
Rešitev bi bila lahko v vzpostavitvi enega ali več nejavnih borznih trgov, ki bi bili posebej zadolženi za interese malih in srednje velikih podjetij.
e EESC rapporteur, Ms Pichenot, supports the launch of the European digital library project (EDL) in 2008, a project designed to make part of our cultural, scientific and technical heritage accessible online.A portal for the general public, the EDL aims at disseminating organised knowledge in the digital era.
Poročevalka EESO ga. Pichenot podpira začetek delovanja evropske digitalne knjižnice (EDK) v letu 2008.
Civil society organisations should join this far-reaching European project so as to define criteria for choosing the content to be digitalised, secure funding and encourage participation in order to promote an inclusive information society.
S tem projektom naj bi omogočili, da del naše kulturne, znanstvene in tehnične dediščine postane dostopen na spletu.
Mr Lehnhoff, EESC rapporteur, recommends that the EU step up its efforts to explain to citizens the advantages of a harmonised legal framework for dealings in securities. e EU should look at alternatives to promoting financial integration through competition if stock exchange concentration might be a restraint for regionally active small and mediumsized enterprises.
Cilj EDK, spletnega portala za širšo javnost, je razširjanje organiziranega znanja v digitalni dobi.
A solution could lie in setting up one or more non-public stock exchanges that are particularly committed to the interests of small and mediumsized enterprises.
Pri tem daljnosežnem evropskem projektu bi morale sodelovati tudi organizacije civilne družbe, da bi opredelili merila za izbiro vsebin, ki naj se digitalizirajo, zagotovili finančna sredstva ter spodbudili sodelovanje in vključevanje vseh državljanov v informacijsko družbo.

Dearreaders, readers,
Dragibralci, bralci,
Michel Barnierproposes the establishment ofa European civil protection force e conference on ‘Advantages and benets of the euro: time for assessment’ was organised by the ECO Section on14 and 15 April 2008, with the participation of the main EU institutions and civil society organisations.Aer eight years of the euro, in the hands of more than 300 million Europeans, some clear conclusions can be drawn.
Michel Barnier predlaga ustanovitev evropske enote civilne zaščite strokovna skupina ECO je 14. in 15. aprila organizirala konferenco na temo Prednosti in koristi evra: čas za oceno, ki so se je udeležili predstavniki najpomembnej- ših institucij EU in organizacij civilne družbe.
Mr Barnier, former European Commissioner and onetime special adviser to the European Commission president (and currently French Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries), called for the creation of a European emergency intervention force, stressing the key role that organised civil society had to play in developing supranational solidarity.
Michel Barnier, nekdanji član Evropske komisije in nekdanji posebni svetovalec predsednika Evropske komisije, je predstavil svoj predlog oustanovitvi enote za hitro posredovanje vkriznih razmerah in poudaril, da bi organizirana civilna družba morala igrati ključno vlogo pri vzpostavljanju nadnacionalne solidarnosti.
President Dimitriadis and Minister Barnier during the EESC plenary session e euro has contributed to transparency and has facilitated comparison of prices of goods and services, salaries and social security contributions. is comparison has enabled people to make the most appropriate purchase choices, strengthening competition and, as a general rule, helping to keep prices in the euro area down.
Predsednik Dimitris Dimitriadis in minister Michel Barnier na plenarnem zasedanju EESO
In many countries, price increases coincided exactly with the introduction of the euro.
Evro je povečal preglednost ter olajšal primerjanje cen blaga in storitev, plač in prispevkov za socialno varnost.
Hence the public feeling that the price increases were generated by the euro, a feeling which still remains and is becoming more ingrained.
Te primerjave so ljudem omogočile, da so se odločali za najustreznejše nakupe, okrepile so konkurenco in na območju evra praviloma pomagale ohranjati nizke cene.
the Committee’s resolution and opinions on the subject.
Odtod izhaja občutek javnosti, da je evro povzročil zvišanja cen.
Europe to take concrete action to protect its citizens.
Ta občutek še ni izginil in je čedalje bolj ukoreninjen.
