FAST, SAFE AND CLEAN TRANSPORT FOR ALL
HITER, VAREN IN OKOLJU PRIJAZEN PROMET ZA VSE
Moving people and goods quickly, efficiently and cheaply is a central tenet of a dynamic economy and a cohesive society — and the EU strives to have both of these qualities.
Hiter, učinkovit in poceni prevoz ljudi in blaga je temeljni del tako dinamičnega gospodarstva kot kohezivne družbe. EU si prizadeva za oboje.
The Commissioner for Transport deals with this challenge and must also ensure that Europe’s transport system is safe and secure.
Komisar za promet obravnava vprašanja v zvezi s tem, poleg tega pa mora zagotoviti varnost in zanesljivost evropskega prometnega sistema.
EU funding of over €104 billion has been set aside for trans-European networks for the period 2007 to 2013.
Za vseevropska omrežja je bilo za obdobje 2007–2013 namenjenih več kot 104 milijard EUR sredstev EU.
It is Siim Kallas’ responsibility to develop an integrated transport policy that combines more mobility with decarbonising transport.
Siim Kallas je odgovoren za pripravo celostne prometne politike, v kateri bosta združena večja mobilnost in razog- ljičenje prometa.
He plans to do this by removing obstacles that reduce transport efficiency, such as poor signalling systems for trains.
To namerava storiti z odpravo ovir, ki zmanjšujejo učinkovitost prometa, kot so na primer slabi signalni sistemi za železniški transport.
A balance must be struck between protecting passengers’ rights, tackling environmental concerns, improving safety and ensuring that transport companies remain profitable. table.
Poiskati je treba ravnovesje med varstvom pravic potnikov, reševanjem okoljskih vprašanj, izboljšanjem varnosti in ohranjanjem dobičkonosnosti prevoznih podjetij.
Decisions to build new infrastructure are too often shortsighted and national in perspective, a state of affairs the Commissioner would like to change.
V Estoniji je Siim Kallas zelo znan, ker je zasedal že več ministrskih položajev, v letih 2002 in 2003 pa je bil njen ministrski predsednik.
He is equally well-known at European level, having joined the European Commission in 2004 when he was responsible for administration, audit and anti-fraud.
Evropski komisiji se je pridružil leta 2004 in postal pristojen za upravo, revizijo in boj proti goljufijam.
He was born in Tallinn in 1948.
Rojen je bil v Talinu leta 1948.
Promoting the use of trains and public transport is also high on Commissioner Kallas’ agenda.
Prizadeval si bo povečati naložbe v infrastrukturo in je prepričan, da obravnava tega vprašanja z evropske perspektive prinaša dodano vrednost.
FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR THE ONLINE SINGLE MARKET
V POLNEM ZAGONU ZA ENOTNI SPLETNI TRG
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are inextricably linked with all aspects of modern life.
EE N njihovo uporabo. Petič, čim bolj bi bilo treba razširiti uporabo standardov za odprte informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije ter načel interoperabilnosti.
They are key to improving productivity and tackling major challenges in fields as diverse as energy efficiency and healthcare.
Ta načela bi morala biti zlasti zavezujoča za državne organe, kot tudi za evropske institucije.
The various responsibilities of preparing the European Digital Agenda therefore represent a challenging portfolio.
Informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije so neločljivo povezane z vsemi vidiki sodobnega življenja.
Finally, Commissioner Kroes is set to develop a single online market for goods and services.
Za konec je komisarka Kroes odločena razviti enoten spletni trg blaga in storitev.
Currently, Europe is a patchwork of fragmented national markets and regulations.
Evropa je trenutno pisan mozaik razdrob- ljenih nacionalnih trgov in predpisov.
Unifying them for the good of individual consumers and businesses is the sixth and last building block to her vision of a European Digital Agenda.
Njihovo poenotenje v korist posameznih potrošnikov in podjetij je zadnji, šesti ključni element njene vizije Evropskega programa za digitalne tehnologije.
Commissioner Neelie Kroes places emphasis on six areas which she considers to be the building blocks of Europe’s Digital Agenda.
Prvič, poziva k še večjim prizadevanjem za raziskave in inovacije na področju informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije.
First, she calls for greater commitment to ICT research and innovation. €1.7 billion in EU funding is channelled into ICT research every year.
Za tovrstne raziskave je vsako leto namenjene 1,7 milijarde EUR sredstev EU.
Commissioner Kroes hopes to boost this figure with private and national funding.
Komisarka Kroes si bo prizadevala povečati ta znesek z zasebnim in nacionalnim financiranjem.
Born in 1941 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Neelie Kroes joined the European Commission as Commissioner for Competition in 2004.
Neelie Kroes, rojena leta 1941 v nizozemskem Rotterdamu, se je Evropski komisiji pridružila leta 2004 kot komisarka za konkurenco.
Her first brush with Brussels was between 1989 and 1991, when she served as adviser to the European Commissioner for Transport, following seven years as Dutch Minister of Transport, Public Works and Telecommunication.
V Bruslju je prvič delala med letoma 1989 in 1991, ko je zasedala mesto svetovalke evropskega komisarja za promet. Zatem je bila sedem let nizozemska ministrica za promet, javna dela in telekomunikacije.
Second, she is an advocate of investment in open, high-speed broadband networks that allow citizens and businesses to be connected any time, anywhere.
Drugič, zagovarja naložbe v odprta, hitra širokopasovna omrežja, ki državljanom in podjetjem omogočajo, da se povežejo kadar koli in kjer koli.
Third on her list is the fight against fraud and other forms of online threats.
Tretji na njenem seznamu je boj proti goljufijam in drugim oblikam spletnih nevarnosti.
Fourth, Commissioner Kroes believes that every European should be given the chance to benefit from the use of ICTs.
Četrtič, komisarka Kroes je prepričana, da bi moralo biti vsakemu Evropejcu omogočeno, da uživa prednosti, ki jih prinaša uporaba informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij.
For this reason, the EU will act to promote citizens’ access to technology and the skills to use it.
EU bo zato spodbujala dostop državljanov do tehnologij in znanj za

Za cilj si je postavil razvoj nove podjetniške in inovacijske kulture v Evropi in vzpostavitev okolja, ki državljane spodbuja k novim podjetniškim projektom.
A modern industrial base with a strong emphasis on small- and medium-sized companies: this is a central aspect of the Europe 2020 strategy and will play a pivotal role in Europe’s emergence from the economic slump.
Sodobni industrijski temelj z močnim poudarkom na malih in srednjih podjetjih; to je osrednji vidik strategije Evropa 2020, ki bo igral ključno vlogo pri izhodu Evrope iz gospodarske krize.

At the same time, Europe must move towards a low-carbon economy.
Hkrati se mora Evropa približevati cilju nizkoogljičnega gospodarstva.
In his quest to ensure that European business emerges from the economic crisis stronger and more competitive, Commissioner Tajani plans to review existing industrial policy.
Sodelovanje pri projektih, kakršna sta evropski program za opazovanje Zemlje (GMES) in Galileo, pomaga evropskim podjetjem ohranjati konkurenčnost. V turizmu, ki je ena najpomembnejših gospodarskih dejavnosti, je potreben bolj usklajen pristop.
Industry must become more globally competitive and both small and large companies must be able to address today’s economic and environmental needs in a dynamic, sustainable and innovative way.
Ob prizadevanju, da bi evropska podjetja izšla iz krize močnejša in bolj konkurenčna, namerava komisar Tajani opraviti pregled obstoječe industrijske politike. Industrija mora postati bolj konkurenčna v svetovnem merilu.
By placing ‘green economy’ at the heart of any new industrial policy, he intends to help Europe take the lead in eco-efficiency, eco-design and eco-technology.
Tako mala kot velika podjetja morajo biti pripravljena, da se bodo dinamično, trajnostno in inovativno odzvala na trenutne gospodarske in okoljske potrebe.

KEEPING THE EU MACHINE RUNNING SMOOTHLY
SKRB ZA NEMOTENO DELOVANJE EVROPSKEGA KOLESJA
Interinstitutional Relations and Administration
Podpredsednik Medinstitucionalni odnosi in administrativne zadeve
In line with President Barroso’s political guidelines, Commissioner Šefčovič is also committed to reviewing the Code of Conduct for Commissioners.
Komisar Šefčovič je v skladu s političnimi smernicami predsednika Barrosa tudi zavezan, da pregleda kodeks ravnanja komisarjev.
He hopes it will become a reference document that inspires other EU institutions.
Želi si, da bi postal referenčni dokument, ki bo navdihnil druge institucije EU.
The code covers the ethical aspects of Commissioners’ activities and is intended to increase transparency.
Kodeks obravnava etične vidike dejavnosti komisarjev in je namenjen izboljšanju preglednosti.
The smooth functioning of the EU depends on a seamless connection between the Union’s gears that keeps it running like a well-oiled machine.
Nemoteno delovanje EU je odvisno od dobrega stika med kolesci Unije, ki ji omogočajo, da vsi mehanizmi delujejo kot dobro podmazan stroj.
The Commissioner for Interinstitutional Relations and Administration is tasked with maintaining relations between the European Commission and the other institutions such as the Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
Naloga komisarja za medinstitucionalne odnose in administrativne zadeve je vzdrževanje odnosov med Evropsko komisijo in ostalimi institucijami, kot sta Parlament in Svet Evropske unije.
He is also in charge of EU staff and staff regulations.
Poleg tega je pristojen za osebje EU in za kadrovske predpise.
The Lisbon Treaty has changed the interinstitutional framework substantially: thanks to extended decision power, the Parliament is now on a more equal footing with the Council.
Lizbonska pogodba je korenito spremenila medinstitucionalni okvir. Parlament ima po njej razširjene pristojnosti pri odločanju in je tako bolj enakopraven s Svetom.
However, these changes have made working relations more complex, which means that interinstitutional relations need to be modified.
Vendar so zaradi teh sprememb delovni odnosi postali bolj zapleteni, zato je treba spremeniti medinstitucionalne odnose.
Maroš Šefčovič has promised to strengthen connections between the Commission and the Parliament.

Velik del svoje poklicne poti je preživel na slovaških veleposlaništvih in stalnih predstavništvih po svetu, in sicer v Harareju, Ottawi, Tel Avivu in Bruslju.
His predecessor began work on revising the framework agreement between the institutions and it is one of Commissioner Šefčovič’s major tasks to continue this work.
Njegov predhodnik je začel pregled okvirnega sporazuma med institucijami in nadaljevanje tega dela je ena najpomembnejših nalog komisarja Šefčoviča.
This framework agreement deals with areas such as the flow of information between the Commission and the Parliament.
Ta okvirni sporazum obravnava področja, kot je pretok informacij med Komisijo in Parlamentom.
It also outlines the political responsibilities of Commissioners and the process of legislative programming.
Določa tudi politično odgovornost komisarjev in postopek načrtovanja zakonodaje.
SETTING THE COURSE TOWARDS A GREENER EUROPE
USMERITEV V BOLJ ZELENO EVROPO
The EU’s environment policy addresses a wide range of issues.
P varnost in enake pogoje za vse.
These include biodiversity, pollution-related health topics and the use of natural resources such as water.
Evropa to potrebuje pri iskanju poti do bolj zelenega gospodarstva in družbe.
Commissioner Potočnik believes that the restructured portfolio is beneficial in that it allows environmental issues to come out from the overwhelming shadow of climate change.
Komisar Potočnik je prepričan, da je preoblikovanje portfelja koristno in okoljskim vprašanjem omogoča, da se izvijejo iz premočne sence, ki jo meče vprašanje podnebnih sprememb.
The road towards a European society rooted in green growth has three lanes, according to Commissioner Potočnik: efficient use of natural resources, protection of biodiversity as well as the implementation and enforcement of existing environmental legislation.
Pot do evropske družbe, ki temelji na zeleni rasti, po mnenju komisarja Potočnika sestavljajo trije pasovi: učinkovita raba naravnih virov, varstvo biotske raznovrstnosti ter izvajanje in izvrševanje obstoječe okoljske zakonodaje.
He is determined to break the link between growth and the exploitation of natural resources.
Odločen je prekiniti povezavo med rastjo in izkoriščanjem naravnih virov.
This requires a change in attitude from the mere protection of the environment to an appreciation of its value.
Naš odnos bo zato treba spremeniti tako, da si ne bomo le prizadevali za varstvo okolja, ampak se bomo resnično zavedali njegove vrednosti.
Janez Potočnik was Commissioner for Science and Research before his current assignment.
Pred sedanjo funkcijo je bil Janez Potočnik komisar za znanost in raziskave.
With a background in economics, his early career was in research and academia.
Po izobrazbi je ekonomist, njegova poklicna pot pa se je začela z dejavnostjo na raziskovalnem in akademskem področju.
In 1998, he was appointed Head of the Negotiation Team for the Accession of Slovenia to the EU, which he led until 2004.
Leta 1998 je bil imenovan za vodjo pogajalske skupine za pristop Slovenije k EU. Vodil jo je do leta 2004.
His stint in government was crowned by two years as Minister for European Affairs between 2002 and 2004.
V vrhuncu obdobja, ki ga je preživel v vladnih vrstah, je bil na mestu ministra za evropske zadeve, ki ga je zasedal dve leti, od leta 2002 do 2004.
He was born in the Slovenian town of Kropa in 1958.
Rojen je bil leta 1958 v Kropi.
Commissioner Potočnik is also a firm believer that the Commission must take measures to ensure that EU laws on the environment are implemented in the Member States, albeit with a certain degree of flexibility.
Komisar Potočnik tudi verjame, da mora Komisija sprejeti ukrepe za zagotovitev, da se v državah članicah izvaja okoljska zakonodaja EU, četudi z določeno mero prožnosti.
MONEY MATTERS
GOSPODARSTVO IN FINANCE
Economic and Monetary Affairs
Ekonomske in monetarne zadeve
Improving the economic well-being of Europe’s citizens is at the heart of EU economic and monetary affairs policy.
Mandat komisarja Rehna nenazadnje zajema tudi inovativne finančne instrumente, ki združujejo javne in zasebne vire financiranja.
The smooth functioning of the EU’s Economic and Monetary Union also falls into his area of competence.
Njihova sočasna in učinkovita uporaba je bistvenega pomena za izpolnitev dolgoročnih ciljev EU.
Olli Rehn took on this portfolio in the middle of the global financial crisis.
Izboljšanje gospodarske blaginje evropskih državljanov je v samem središču ekonomske in monetarne politike EU.
This factor has clearly had an impact on his priorities which serve a common goal: jump-starting the growth of the European economy and Europe’s job market.
Komisar mora pomagati vzpostaviti okvir, ki bo zagotavljal trajnostno gospodarsko rast, visoko stopnjo zaposlenosti, stabilne javne finance in finančno stabilnost.
To achieve these goals, Commissioner Rehn seeks to better coordinate the economic strategies of the Member States.
Olli Rehn je ta portfelj prevzel sredi svetovne finančne krize.
He is also working to consolidate public finances — after public stimuli for the weakened economy have taken effect, he wants the EU to adopt a coordinated exit strategy.
Ta dejavnik je očitno vplival na njegove prednostne naloge, ki so usmerjene k istemu cilju: pospešitvi rasti evropskega gospodarstva in evropskega trga dela.
The Stability and Growth Pact is a key tool in the Commissioner’s work.
Za izpolnitev tega cilja si komisar Rehn prizadeva za boljše usklajevanje gospodarskih strategij držav članic.
It allows for close observation of the Member States and sanctions if they do not comply with its rules.
Prizadeva si tudi za konsolidacijo javnih financ – želi, da EU sprejme usklajeno izhodno strategijo, ko bodo javne spodbude za oslabljeno gospodarstvo dosegle učinek.
Olli Rehn was born in the Finnish town of Mikkeli in 1962.
Olli Rehn je bil rojen leta 1962 v finskem mestu Mikkeli.
His involvement in EU politics began in 1991, when he was appointed chairman of the Finnish delegation to the Council of Europe.

He joined the ranks of the European Commission in 2004 as Commissioner for Enterprise and Information Society.
Leta 2004 se je pridružil Evropski komisiji kot komisar za podjetništvo in informacijsko družbo.
This shortterm position was followed by a full f i five-year term as Commissioner for
Temu kratkemu mandatu je sledil poln petletni mandat na mestu komisarja za širitev.
Last but not least, Commissioner Rehn’s term in office is about innovative financial instruments, which combine public and private sources of finance.
Pakt za stabilnost in rast je eno od ključnih orodij pri komisarjevem delu.
Their simultaneous and efficient use is crucial for achieving the EU’s long-term targets.
Omogoča pozorno spremljanje držav članic in sankcije, če te ne spoštujejo njegovih pravil.
