The March European Council meeting, and the EESC’s report on progress achieved, will thus represent an important milestone for the Committee, but also, it is to be hoped, an important step forward for the strategy.
Marčno zasedanje Evropskega sveta in poročilo EESO o doseženem napredku bosta torej za Odbor pomemben mejnik in, upajmo, da tudi pomemben korak naprej pri izvajanju strategije.
I have singled out just three important challenges.
Izpostavila sem le tri večje izzive.
There are of course many more.
Seveda obstajajo še mnogi drugi.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be President of a European institution during the term of one’s own country’s Council Presidency.
Predsedovati evropski instituciji, medtem ko lastna država predseduje Svetu – to se zgodi samo enkrat v življenju.
I am thus personally thrilled by the opportunities of cooperation in a period marked by challenges which will require a great deal of resolve and joint action.
Zato se osebno izredno veselim priložnosti za sodelovanje v obdobju, polnem izzivov, ki bodo zahtevali veliko mero odločnosti in skupnega dela.
The JET research centre in Culham, England, home of a very promising branch of technology intended to resolve the enormous energy challenges of the future, hosted the 65thTEN section meeting on 24 November 2005.
65. seja strokovne skupine TEN je bila 24. novembra 2005 v raziskovalnem centru JET (Joint EuropeanTorus, Skupni evropski projekt Torus) v mestu Culham v Angliji, kjer je doma zelo obetavna veja tehnologije, ki naj bi uspešno odgovorila na velike energetske izzive, ki nas čakajo.
The EESC is preparing a global opinion setting out important principles of energy policy, which could underpin workable and realistic options for a future energy mix.
EESO pripravlja celovito mnenje, v katerem bodo določena pomembna načela energetske politike in na katerem bi lahko temeljile izvedljive in dejanske izbire glede prihodnje kombinacije virov energije.
One element of its past work is the opinion on fusion energy adopted in 2004, in which the Committee expressed its support for this technology and the further development of nuclear fusion.
Med že opravljena dela spada tudi mnenje o fuzijski energiji, sprejeto leta 2004, kjer je Odbor podprl tehnologijo in nadaljnji razvoj jedrske fuzije.
The director of the site, Mr Jerome Pamela, gave an introduction to the technology.

Exploring the impact of migration within the EU: How can we harness talent?
Raziskovanje vpliva preseljevanja znotraj EU: kako lahko izkoristimo naše talente?
Immigration is not a source of problems for Europe; it can be an opportunity to harness talent.
Priseljevanje niti približno ni vir težav za Evropo, pač pa je lahko priložnost, da izkoristimo talente.
This is the key message that came out of the conference held on 27–29 November 2005 in Dunblane (Scotland), the main event organised under the UK Presidency by the EESC and the Scottish Executive on the theme of immigration.
To je glavno sporočilo konference, ki je potekala od 27. do 29. novembra 2005 v Dunblanu na Škotskem in je osrednji dogodek, ki sta ga v času britanskega predsedovanja organizirala EESO in škotska vlada na temo priseljevanja.
The conference focused on two related matters: demography and immigration.
Konferenca se je osredotočila na dve povezani temi: demografijoinpriseljevanje.
by third-country nationals can narrow the demographic gap but cannot close it completely.
tretjih držav lahko zmanjša demografsko vrzel, toda ne more je povsem zapolniti.
Positively managed immigration can, nonetheless, make a vital economic contribution to our ageing society.
Dobro vodeno priseljevanje pa vendar lahko pomembno prispeva h gospodarstvu naše starajoče se družbe.
The task now is to produce a ‘winwin’ situation for host countries and for countries of origin, for example ‘circular immigration’, which enables immigrants to gain experience and then return home.
Zdaj bi bilo treba ustvariti situacijo, kjer bi pridobili vsi: države gostiteljice in države izvora, na primer s spodbujanjem »kroženja« priseljencev, ki le-tem omogoča, da pridobijo izkušnje in se potem vrnejo domov.
The UK members organised a British cultural evening at the EESC on 14 December 2005.
Britanski člani Odbora so 14. decembra 2005 v EESO organizirali britanski kulturni večer, ki ga je odprl škotski dudaš.
During the evening — opened by fanfare from a Scottish bagpiper — visitors could taste, for example, Scottish Whisky, British cheese, traditional cakes or English wine.
Med večerom so obiskovalci lahko na primer poskusili škotski viski, britanski sir, tradicionalne kolače in angleško vino.
Beer served by an English pub was one of the favourite beverages.
Med najbolj priljubljenimi pijačami je bilo pivo, ki ga je ponujala angleška pivnica.
Some theatrical and musical groups were invited and performed, for example the Brussels Madrigals Singers and the Brussels Shakespeare Society, who showed their art with the piece,‘Pastime with Good Company’, followed by excerpts from the musical, ‘Oliver!’, performed by the English Comedy Club, Brussels, and the American Theatre Company, Brussels.
K sodelovanju je bilo povabljenih nekaj gledaliških in glasbenih skupin, na primer bruseljski pevci madrigalov in bruseljsko društvo Shakespeare, ki so predstavili delo »Pastime with Good Company«. Angleško gledališče in Ameriška gledališka skupina iz Bruslja sta uprizorila nekaj izvlečkov iz muzikala »Oliver!« in požela velik uspeh pri gledalcih, ki so lahko skupaj z izvajalci tudi zaplesali škotske plese in zapeli tradicionalne božične pesmi.
Mr Henri Malosse, President of the EESC’s Section for Employment, Social Affairs and Citizenship, opened the conference by reminding participants that‘a genuine integration policy has to rely on cooperation between civil society organisations and public authorities at local, regional, national and EU levels’.
Kot je poudaril g. Pariza Castaños, je potrebna prava politika vključevanja, ki bo državljanom tretjih držav, nastanjenim v EU, zagotovila enake socialne, državljanske in politične pravice kot drugim državljanom.
Mr Pariza Castaños also stressed that EU integration policies had to respect and take into account the needs of both migrants and host societies: ‘Immigrants are not just a labour force that we can discard when no longer needed; they are first and foremost people, whose human rights and basic needs must be respected’.
Evropsko državljanstvo je ne glede na nacionalno poreklo sredstvo, ki priseljencem omogoča, da postanejo enakopravni in integrirani člani naših skupnosti.
Europe’s population is ageing and, in some countries, declining.This will have inevitable consequences both for pension systems and the labour market. Migration
Organizacije civilne družbe pa imajo najpomembnejšo vlogo pri razvoju tega »civilnega državljanstva«.
As Mr Pariza Castaños pointed out, a real integration policy is needed to grant third-country nationals who have settled in the EU the same social, civil and political rights as other citizens.
Prebivalstvo Evrope se stara, v nekaterih državah tudi upada.
Civil society organisations have a key role to play in developing this‘civil citizenship’.
To bo imelo neizogibne posledice na pokojninske sisteme in trg delovne sile. Preseljevanje državljanov iz
Europe’s cultural heritage as an economic factor in the tourism sector and measures to renew and promote tourism via its cultural richness.
Evropska kulturna dediščina kot gospodarski dejavnik v turističnem sektorju
On 29 November, Ms Dana Stechová, rapporteur for the EESC opinion on the European Gender Institute, presented the opinion to the Committee onWomen’s Rights and Gender Equality in the European Parliament.
PHOTO E 29. novembra je Dana Stechová, poročevalka mnenja EESO o Evropskem inštitutu za enakost spolov, predstavila mnenje Odboru Evropskega parlamenta za pravice žensk in enakost spolov.
She asked the members of the Parliament’s committee to support the idea of greater participation of social partners and NGOs within the future management board of the institute.
Člane parlamentarnega odbora je zaprosila, naj podprejo močnejšo vključenost socialnih partnerjev in nevladnih organizacij v prihodnjem upravnem odboru inštituta.
Europe is one of the world’s richest regions in terms of history, art, culture and traditions: this vast heritage has always made it a favourite destination for millions of tourists.
EESO bi zato želel dati Komisiji in Evropskemu parlamentu nekaj uporabnih predlogov za spodbujanje kulturnega turizma v Evropi.
Nevertheless, according to a recent World Tourism Organisation study, in a few years our continent will have lost its position as world leader in tourism to regions such as Asia and the Pacific, which are more competitive in terms of price.
Patrizio Pesci trenutno pripravlja mnenje na lastno pobudo o turizmu in kulturi: dveh dejavnikih rasti.
To counter this trend and strengthen its competitive advantage, Europe urgently needs to adopt coordinated policies
Kot dodatni prispevek k oblikovanju mnenja je 18. novembra v Paestumu (Salerno, Italija) potekal javni posvet vzporedno z 8. sredozemskim sejmom o arheološkem turizmu.
This is why the EESC would like to propose to the Commission and the European Parliament some practical recommendations for boosting cultural tourism in Europe.
Evropa je s stališča zgodovine, umetnosti, kulture in tradicije eno najbogatejših območij na svetu: zaradi svoje bogate dediščine je najbolj priljubljen cilj za milijone turistov.
Mr Patrizio Pesci is currently drawing up an own-initiative opinion on ‘Tourism and culture: two forces for growth’.
Vendar pa bo po navajanju najnovejše raziskave Svetovne turistične organizacije naša celina izgubila svoj sedanji položaj svetovne velesile na področju turizma zaradi območij, kot sta Azija in Pacifiškoobmočje,kistacenovno bolj konkurenčna.
As a further contribution to the opinion, a public hearing was held in Paestum (Salerno, Italy) on 18 November, on the fringes of the eighth Mediterranean archaeological tourism fair.
Da bi lahko kljubovala temu gibanju in okrepila svojo konkurenčno prednost, mora Evropa nujno sprejeti usklajene politike in ukrepe za obnovitev in spodbujanje turizma z uveljavljanjem svojega kulturnega bogastva.
The Italian Vice-Secretary of State for cultural goods and activities, Mr Nicola Bono, stressed Europe’s richness and diversity and called for harmonisation of tax policy at European level as regards the sectors of tourism and culture.
Italijanski državni podsekretar za kulturno dediščino in kulturne dejavnosti Nicola Bono je poudaril pomembnost evropskega bogastva in različnosti ter pozval k uskladitvi davčne politike na evropski ravni na področju turizma in kulture.
Mr Alfonso Andria, MEP, called for the rapid adoption of the Constitution, as tourism would then become one of the EU’s competencies.
Evropski poslanec Alfonso Andria je pozval k hitremu sprejetju ustave, saj bi tako turizem postal ena od pristojnosti EU.
The Dos Jerónimos monastery in Lisbon — Europe’s cultural heritage has become an economic factor.
Samostan Dos Jerónimos v Lizboni – evropska kulturna dediščina je postala gospodarski dejavnik.
Tourism and culture can be two important forces for growth, but they must be integrated into the unified system of the provision of services, focusing on territorial identity and the vast heritage of cultural values.
Turizem in kultura sta lahko dva pomembna dejavnika rasti, vendar ju je treba vključiti v poenoten sistem zagotavljanja storitev in se osredotočiti na lokalno in regionalno identiteto ter bogato kulturno dediščino.

Our more detailed proposals include: enhancing the bridging function of the Committee’s members (e.g. generalised use of the ‘electronic visiting card’ — personalised newsletter) as well as a better use of the members and their networks.
Odbor je v mnenju Evropskemu parlamentu o času za razmislek z dne 26. oktobra že pripravil vrsto podrobnih priporočil in se tako glede Načrta D namerno odločil za kratek in popolnoma operativni odgovor na sporočilo Evropske komisije.
Innovations such as the stakeholders’ forum format will be decentralised, alongside more traditional consultative mechanisms, so as to put more flesh on the concept of civil dialogue.
Navaja nekaj konkretnih ukrepov, s katerimi meni, da bi lahko sam in v sodelovanju z drugimi institucijami bistveno prispeval k širši razpravi med obdobjem za razmislek in po njem.
The Committee had already set out a detailed series of recommendations in its 26 October opinion to the European Parliament on the ‘reflection period’and so, with regard to ‘Plan D’, it deliberately opted for a short and entirely operational response to the European Commission’s communication.
Naša podrobnejša priporočila vključujejo krepitev povezovalne vloge članov Odbora (npr. vsesplošna uporaba »elektronskih vizitk« – individualno oblikovani bilteni) in boljši izkoristek strokovnega znanja članov in njihovih mrež.
It sets out a small number of concrete measures where it believes the Committee, alone and in cooperation with the other institutions, could make a significant contribution to the broad debate during the reflection period and beyond.
Poleg bolj običajnih posvetovalnih mehanizmov bomo razširili novosti, kot je oblika foruma interesnih skupin, da bi konceptu civilnega dialoga dali več življenja.
Make participatory democracy a reality now!
Naj participativna demokracija postane realnost še danes!
The Committee proposes to take the debate on Europe into the Member States.
Odbor predlaga selitev razprave o Evropi v države članice.
We call on the Commission to come forward with operational proposals so as to anticipate the constitutional treaty’s provisions on participatory democracy and insist on a closer involvement of the Committee in all of the Commission’s activities in the Member States, including the possible joint use of the available credits in the Union’s budget earmarked for priority information campaigns.
Komisijo pozivamo, da pripravi operativne predloge, kako uresničevati določbe ustavne pogodbe o participativni demokraciji, ter da vztraja pri tesnejšem vključevanju Odbora v dejavnosti Komisije v državah članicah, vključno z možno skupno uporabo sredstev, ki so na voljo v proračunu Unije, namenjenih za prednostne informacijske kampanje.
Member States in cooperation with private stakeholders, should commit themselves to drawing up a national programme for boosting knowledge backed by EU funding.

This opinion, which forms part of our work in relation to the Lisbon Strategy, was adopted by a large majority on 14 December 2005.
EU, države članice in regije morajo javna sredstva preusmeriti v investicije, ki spodbujajo gospodarsko rast.
The European Commission should have more power to give policy directions and monitor progress.
Evropska komisija bi morala imeti več pristojnosti za določanje političnih smernic in ocenjevanje napredka.

In our opinion, we suggest that a common European area of knowledge be created, based on clearly defined targets, benchmarks, timetables and clear responsibilities.
V mnenju smo predlagali uvedbo enotnega evropskega prostora znanja na podlagi jasno določenih ciljev, kriterijev ocenjevanja, časovnih razporedov in odgovornosti.
The knowledge society is a key pillar of the Lisbon Strategy and of the future of Europe.
Družba znanja je bistven element lizbonske strategije in prihodnosti Evrope.
Only if the EU manages to mobilise its full potential in terms of knowledge, research and innovation can it hope to hold its own among the high-tech economies of the 21st century.
Evropa lahko upa na ohranitev svojega mesta med gospodarstvi z visoko tehnologijo v 21. stoletju samo, če ji bo uspelo mobilizirati ves potencial na področju znanja, raziskav in inovacij.
Every citizen, every region and every sector must be encouraged to participate in the knowledge society and be able to benefit from it.
Tudi usposabljanje je zelo pomembno: izvajati bi bilo treba listino vseživljenjskega učenja in to podpreti z javnimi in zasebnimi investicijami ter strukturnimi skladi.
This will provide a unique opportunity to reduce the divisions that exist.
Spodbujati bi bilo treba industrijske regije, tehnološke parke in druga inovacijam prijazna okolja.

V mnenju se zavzemamo še za uvedbo stalnega in struk-turiranega dialoga, da bi povečali motivacijo oblikovalcev politike na vseh ravneh in spodbujali dialog z javnostjo.
Industrial regions, technology parks and other inno-vation-friendly environments should be encouraged.
Izziv prehoda na družbo znanja mora biti prisoten v vseh razpravah in v mislih vseh državljanov.
