Between 1945 and 1950, a handful of courageous statesmen including Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi and Winston Churchill set about persuading their peoples to enter a new era.
Tako so med letoma 1945 in 1950 nekateri pogumni državniki, med katerimi so bili Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi in Winston Churchill, sklenili, da bodo prepričali ljudstva, naj vstopijo v novo obdobje.
New structures would be created in western Europe, based on shared interests and founded upon treaties guaranteeing the rule of law and equality between all countries.
V zahodni Evropi naj bi zavladal povsem nov red, ki bi temeljil na skupnih interesih različnih ljudstev in narodov ter na pogodbah, ki bi zagotavljale vladavino prava in enakopravnost držav.
Safety and security
Varnost in zaščita
Robert Schuman (French foreign minister) took up an idea originally conceived by Jean Monnet and, on 9 May 1950, proposed establishing a European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC).
Robert Schuman (francoski zunanji minister) je 9. maja 1950 na podlagi ideje, ki se je porodila Jeanu Monnetu, predlagal ustanovitev Evropske skupnosti za premog in jeklo (ESPJ).

Europe in the 21st century still faces safety and security issues.
Žal se mora Evropa v 21. stoletju še vedno spopadati z vprašanjem varnosti in zaščite.
The EU has to take effective action to ensure the safety and security
EU mora sprejeti učinkovite ukrepe, da svojim članicam zagotovi varnost in zaščito.
of its members. It has to work constructively with the regions just beyond its borders: the Balkans, North Africa, the Caucasus and the Middle East.
območji, na katera meji: Balkanom, severno Afriko, Kavkazom in Bližnjim vzhodom.
It must also protect its military and strategic interests by working with its allies, especially within NATO, and by developing a genuine common European security and defence policy.
Poleg tega mora zaradi varovanja svojih vojaških in strateških interesov sodelovati s svojimi zaveznicami, zlasti z Natom, in razvijati pristno skupno evropsko varnostno politiko.
Money from the EU budget and loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) are used to improve Europe’s transport infrastructure (for example, to extend the network of motorways and highspeed railways), thus providing better access to outlying regions and boosting trans-Eu-ropean trade.
Proračun EU in denar, ki ga zbira Evropska investicijska banka, sta namenjena izboljšanju evropske prometne infrastrukture (na primer razširitvi avtocestnih omrežij in omrežij železniških prog za visoke hitrosti), kar omogoča večjo dostopnost do oddaljenih regij in spodbuja čezevropsko trgovino.
The EU’s economic success will be measured in part by the ability of its single market of half a billion consumers to benefit as many people and businesses as possible.
Gospodarski uspeh EU se bo meril tudi s sposobnostjo enotnega trga pol milijarde potrošnikov, da prinese koristi čim več ljudem in podjetjem.
Internal security and external security are two sides of the same coin.
Notranja in zunanja varnost sta dve plati iste medalje.
The fight against terrorism and organised crime requires the police forces of all EU countries to work together closely.
Boj proti terorizmu in organiziranemu kriminalu zahteva tesno sodelovanje policij vseh držav EU.
Making the EU an ‘area of freedom, security and justice’ where everyone has equal access to justice and is equally protected by the law is a new challenge that requires close cooperation between governments.
EU kot „območje svobode, varnosti in pravice“, kjer imajo vsi enak dostop do pravice in kjer zakonodaja ščiti vse enako, je nov izziv, ki zahteva tesno sodelovanje vlad.
Bodies like Europol, the European Police Office, and Eurojust, which promotes cooperation between prosecutors, judges and police officers in different EU countries, also have a more active and effective role to play.
Tudi organi, kot so Europol, Evropski policijski urad in Eurojust, ki spodbuja sodelovanje med tožilci, sodniki in policisti v različnih državah EU, lahko delujejo bolj dejavno in učinkovito.
Europe’s post-industrial societies are becoming increasingly complex.
Postindustrijska družba Evrope postaja iz dneva v dan bolj kompleksna.
Standards of living have risen steadily, but there are still significant gaps between rich and poor.
Življenjski standard se je znatno dvignil, kljub temu pa še vedno obstajajo precejšnje razlike med bogatimi in revnimi.
Enlargement has widened the gap since countries have joined with living standards below the EU average.
S širitvijo so se te razlike še povečale, saj imajo pridružene članice nižji življenjski standard od povprečja EU.
It is important for EU countries to work together to narrow the gap.
Pomembno je, da se države članice EU skupno lotevajo zmanjševanja teh razlik.
The European Union was created to achieve the political goal of peace, but its dynamism and success spring from its involvement in economics.
Čeprav je Evropska unija nastala z namenom, da doseže politični cilj – mir, je skrivnost njenega uspeha in dinamičnosti pravzaprav gospodarstvo.
But these efforts have not been made at the expense of compromising the separate cultural or linguistic characteristics of EU countries.
Toda ta prizadevanja ne ogrožajo kulturnih in jezikovnih posebnosti držav EU.
On the contrary — many EU activities help to create new economic growth based on regional specialities and the rich diversity of traditions and cultures.
Prav nasprotno – veliko dejavnosti na evropski ravni pomaga ustvarjati novo gospodarsko rast na podlagi regionalnih posebnosti ter bogate raznolikosti tradicij in kultur.
EU countries account for an ever smaller percentage of the world’s population.
Delež prebivalstva v državah EU postaja iz leta v leto nižji v primerjavi s svetovnim prebivalstvom.
They must therefore continue pulling together if they are to ensure economic growth and be able to compete on the world stage with other major economies.
Zato je nujno, da te države še naprej nastopajo združeno, s skupnimi močmi, če naj zagotavljajo gospodarsko rast in dosegajo raven konkurenčnosti drugih večjih gospodarskih sil v svetu.
No individual EU country is strong enough to go it alone in world trade.
Nobena država EU ni dovolj močna, da bi sama lahko uspešno tekmovala z drugimi državami na področju svetovne trgovine.
The European single market provides companies with a vital platform for competing effectively on world markets.
Evropski enotni trg družbam ponuja nujno potrebno platformo za uspešno konkuriranje na svetovnih trgih.
Half a century of European integration has shown that the EU as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts: it has much more economic, social, technological, commercial and political clout than if its member states had to act individually.
Pol stoletja evropskega združevanja je dokazalo, da je EU veliko več kot vsota svojih sestavnih delov: ima veliko večji vpliv na gospodarskem, socialnem, tehnološkem, trgovinskem in političnem področju, kot bi ga imela prizadevanja posameznih držav članic.
There is added value in acting together and speaking with a single voice as the European Union.
Vpliv se še dodatno poveča, če nastopa skupno kot Evropska unija in kot taka zagovarja enotna stališča.
But Europe-wide free competition must be counterbalanced by Europe-wide solidarity.
Za ravnotežje pa sta potrebni tako vseevropska svobodna konkurenca kot vseevropska solidarnost.
This has clear tangible benefits for European citizens: when they fall victim to floods and other natural disasters, they receive assistance from the EU budget.
Evropski državljani imajo od tega oprijemljive koristi: če so žrtve poplav in drugih naravnih nesreč, dobijo pomoč iz proračuna EU.
The Structural Funds, managed by the European Commission, encourage and supplement the efforts
Evropska komisija s svojimi strukturnimi skladi podpira in dopolnjuje prizadevanja državnih in regionalnih organov znotraj EU, da bi zmanjšali razlike med raz-
Why?• Because the EU is the world’s leading trading power and therefore plays a decisive role in international negotiations, such as those at the 149-country World Trade Organisation (WTO), as well as in the implementation of the Kyoto protocol on air pollution and climate change;
Zakaj? • Ker je EU svetovna trgovinska velesila in ima zato ključno vlogo pri mednarodnih pogajanjih, kot so tista znotraj Svetovne trgovinske organizacije, v katero je vključenih 149 držav, in pri izvajanju Kjotskega protokola o onesnaženosti zraka in podnebnih spremembah;
United in diversity – a bilingual street sign in Malta.
Enotni v različnosti – dvojezični napis na ulici na Malti.
• Because it takes a clear position on sensitive issues affecting ordinary people, such as environmental protection, renewable energy resources, the ‘precautionary principle’ in food safety, the ethical aspects of biotechnology and the need to protect endangered species;
• ker se neprikrito zavzema za določena stališča o kočljivih vprašanjih, ki zadevajo navadne ljudi, na primer o varovanju okolja, obnovljivih energetskih virih, „načelu preventive“ na področju varnosti živil, etičnih vidikih biotehnologije in potrebi po zaščiti ogroženih živalskih vrst;
So the EU stands for a view of humanity and a model of society that the great majority of its citizens support.
Tako se EU zavzema za vrednote človečnosti in družbeni model, ki ga podpira velika večina državljanov.
Europeans cherish their rich heritage of values, which includes a belief in human rights, social solidarity, free enterprise, a fair distribution of the fruits of economic growth, the right to a protected environment, respect for cultural, linguistic and religious diversity and a harmonious blend of tradition and progress.
Evropejci cenijo svojo bogato dediščino vrednot, ki vključuje varstvo človekovih pravic, družbeno solidarnost, svobodno podjetništvo, pravično porazdelitev sadov gospodarske rasti, pravico do varovanja okolja, spoštovanje kulturne, jezikovne in verske različnosti ter usklajeno sožitje tradicije in napredka.
• Because it launched important initiatives for sustainable development on the whole planet, in connection with the ‘Earth Summit’ in 2002 in Johannesburg.
• ker je leta 2002 na vrhovnem srečanju o Zemlji v Johannesburgu sprožila pomembno pobudo o trajnostnem razvoju na vsem planetu.
The old saying ‘unity is strength’ is as relevant as ever to today’s Europeans.
Stari pregovor„v slogi je moč“ je še posebno pomemben za današnje Evropejce.
But the process of European integration has not smothered the different ways of life, traditions and cultures of its peoples.
Toda proces evropskega združevanja ni zatrl različnih načinov življenja, tradicij in kultur evropskih narodov. Raznolikost je resnično ena od ključnih vrednot EU.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which was proclaimed in Nice in December 2000, sets out all the rights recognised today by the EU’s member states and their citizens.
V Listini Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah, ki je bila razglašena v Nici decembra 2000, so zajete vse pravice, ki jih danes priznavajo države članice EU in njihovi državljani.
These values can create a feeling of kinship between Europeans.
Te vrednote lahko ustvarijo občutek sorodnosti med Evropejci.
To take just one example, all EU countries have abolished the death penalty.
Odprava smrtne kazni v vseh državah EU je le en primer tega..
The EU wishes to promote humanitarian and progressive values, and ensure that mankind is the beneficiary, rather than the victim, of the great global changes that are taking place.
EU želi spodbujati človekoljubne in napredne vrednote ter zagotoviti, da človeštvo izkoristi prednosti aktualnih velikih globalnih sprememb, ne pa da postane njihova žrtev.
People’s needs cannot be met simply by market forces or imposed by unilateral action.
Potreb ljudi ni mogoče zadovoljiti samo s tržnimi silami ali določati z enostranskim ukrepanjem.

The aim, in the aftermath of World War Two, was to secure peace between Europe’s victorious and vanquished nations and bring them together as equals, cooperating within shared institutions.

Cilj je bil zagotoviti mir med zmagovalci in poraženci v Evropi po drugi svetovni vojni ter jih združiti kot enakovredne partnerje, ki sodelujejo v prid skupnih interesov.
On 9 May 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman first publicly put forward the ideas that led to the European Union.
Francoski zunanji minister Robert Schuman je 9. maja 1950 prvič javno predstavil zamisli, ki so privedle do rojstva Evropske unije.
So 9 May is celebrated as the EU’s birthday.
Zato se 9. maj praznuje kot rojstni dan EU.

narejen odločilni korak k Evropski skupnosti.
These elections are held every five years.
Volitve potekajo vsakih pet let.
In 1981, Greece joined the Community, followed by Spain and Portugal in 1986.
Leta 1981 se je Skupnosti pridružila Grčija, leta 1986 sta ji sledili Španija in Portugalska.
This strengthened the Community’s presence in southern Europe and made it all the more urgent to expand its regional aid programmes.
To je okrepilo prisotnost Skupnosti v južni Evropi in močno povečalo potrebo po razširitvi programov regionalne pomoči.
The Six then decided, on 25 March 1957 with the Treaty of Rome, to build a European Economic Community (EEC) based on a wider common market covering a whole range of goods and services.
Šesterica se je nato 25. marca 1957 z Rimsko pogodbo odločila zgraditi Evropsko gospodarsko skupnost (EGS), temelječo na širšem skupnem trgu, ki zajema več vrst blaga in storitev.
Customs duties between the six countries were completely abolished on 1 July 1968 and common policies, notably on trade and agriculture, were also put in place during the 1960s.
Dne 1. julija 1986 so bile popolnoma odpravljene carine med temi šestimi državami, v šestdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja pa so bile vzpostavljene tudi skupne politike, predvsem na področju trgovine in kmetijstva.
So successful was this venture that Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom decided to join the Community.
Ta poteza je bila tako uspešna, da so se Skupnosti odločili pridružiti tudi Danska, Irska in Združeno kraljestvo.
This first enlargement, from six to nine members, took place in 1973.
Prva širitev, s šestih na devet članic, se je zgodila leta 1973.
At the same time, new social and environmental policies were implemented, and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) was established in 1975.
Obenem so bile uvedene nove socialne in okoljske politike, leta 1975 pa je bil ustanovljen Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj (ESRR).
The worldwide economic recession in the early 1980s brought with it a wave of ‘euro-pessimism’.
Gospodarska recesija v začetku osemdesetih let je prinesla s seboj tudi val „evropesi-mizma“.
However, hope sprang anew in 1985 when the European Commission, under its President Jacques Delors, published a White Paper setting out a timetable for completing the European single market by 1 January 1993.
Novo upanje je vzniknilo, ko je leta 1985 Evropska komisija pod predsedstvom Jacquesa Delorsa objavila belo knjigo, ki je vsebovala časovni razpored, po katerem naj bi bil do 1. januarja 1993 vzpostavljen evropski enotni trg.
This ambitious goal was enshrined in the Single European Act, which was signed in February 1986 and came into force on 1 July 1987.
Evropske skupnosti so ta ambiciozni načrt tudi sprejele in ga vnesle v Enotni evropski akt, ki je bil podpisan februarja 1986 in je začel veljati 1. julija 1987.

The Berlin Wall was pulled down in 1989 and the old divisions of the European continent gradually disappeared.
Leta 1989 je padel berlinski zid in stare delitve evropske celine so začele postopoma izginjati.
At the same time, unemployment and the rising cost of pensions are putting pressure on national economies, making reform all the more necessary.
Reforma je toliko bolj potrebna, če upoštevamo brezposelnost in zvišane pokojninske stroške, ki tarejo gospodarstva držav članic.
Voters are increasingly calling on their governments to find practical solutions to these problems.
Volivci se vedno pogosteje obračajo na svoje vlade v upanju, da bodo poiskale praktične odgovore na ta vprašanja.
The political shape of Europe was dramatically changed when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.
Padec berlinskega zidu leta 1989 je temeljito spremenil politično podobo Evrope.
This led to the unification of Germany in October 1990 and the coming of democracy to the countries of central and eastern Europe as they broke away from Soviet control.
Sledila je združitev Nemčije oktobra 1990 in demokratizacija držav srednje in vzhodne Evrope, ki so se otresle sovjetskega nadzora. Sama Sovjetska zveza je razpadla decembra 1991.
At the same time, the member states were negotiating the new Treaty on European Union, which was adopted by the European Council, composed of presidents and/or prime ministers, at Maastricht in December 1991.
Obenem so se države članice pogajale za novo pogodbo o Evropski uniji, ki jo je Evropski svet, sestavljen iz predsednikov držav in/ali vlad, sprejel v Masstrichtu decembra 1991.
The Treaty came into force on 1 November 1993.
Pogodba je stopila v veljavo 1. novembra 1993.
By adding areas of intergovernmental cooperation to existing integrated Community structures, the Treaty created the European Union (EU).
Sredi devetdesetih let so na vrata EU potrkale države, ki so bile nekoč del sovjetskega bloka (Bolgarija, Češka, Madžarska, Poljska, Romunija in Slovaška), tri baltske države, ki so bile včasih del Sovjetske zveze (Estonija, Latvija in Litva), ena izmed nekdanjih jugoslovanskih republik (Slovenija) in dve sredozemski državi (Ciper in Malta).
This new European dynamism and the continent’s changing geopolitical situation led three more countries — Austria, Finland and Sweden — to join the EU on 1 January 1995.
Ta nova evropska dinamičnost in spreminjajoči se geopolitični položaj na celini sta 1. januarja 1995 prepričala še tri države – Avstrijo, Finsko in Švedsko, da se pridružijo EU.
The EU welcomed this chance to help stabilise the European continent and to extend the benefits of European integration to these young democracies.
EU je v tem začutila priložnost, da pomaga pri procesu stabilizacije evropske celine in si s temi na novo nastajajočimi demokracijami deli prednosti, ki jih je prineslo evropsko združevanje.
Negotiations on future membership opened in December 1997.
Pogajanja o članstvu so se začela decembra 1997.
The EU enlargement to 25 countries took place on 1 May 2004 when 10 of the 12 candidates joined.
Število članic EU se je 1. maja 2004 povečalo na 25, ko se ji je pridružilo 10 od 12 kandidatk.
Bulgaria and Romania followed on 1 January 2007.
Bolgarija in Romunija sta sledili 1. januarja 2007.
By then, the EU was on course for its most spectacular achievement yet, creating a single currency.
Takrat je bila EU že na dobri poti, da uresniči svoj dotlej najbolj presenetljivi načrt, enotno valuto.
The euro was introduced for financial (non-cash) transactions in 1999, while notes and coins were issued three years later in the 12 countries of the euro area (also commonly referred to as the euro zone).
Leta 1999 je bil evro uveden za finančne (negotovinske) transakcije, bankovci in kovanci pa so bili v 12 državah območja evra (pogosto imenovanega tudi evroobmočje) izdani tri leta pozneje.
The euro is now a major world currency for payments and reserves alongside the US dollar.
Evro je danes poleg ameriškega dolarja ena najmočnejših denarnih valut na svetu tako za plačila kot za rezerve.
Europeans are facing globalisation.
Evropejci se soočajo z globalizacijo.
New technologies and ever increasing use of the Internet transform the economies, but also bring social and cultural challenges.
Nove tehnologije in naraščajoča uporaba interneta spreminjajo gospodarstva, prinašajo pa tudi družbene in kulturne izzive.
In March 2000, the EU adopted the ‘Lisbon strategy’ for modernising the European economy and enabling it to compete on the world market with other major players such as the United States and the newly industrialised countries.
EU je marca 2000 sprejela lizbonsko strategijo, s katero želi posodobiti evropsko gospodarstvo in si na svetovnem trgu v tekmi z drugimi pomembnimi akterji, kot so ZDA in novoindustrializirane države, zagotoviti konkurenčni položaj.
The Lisbon strategy involves encouraging innovation and business investment and adapting Europe’s education systems to meet the needs of the information society.
Lizbonska strategija spodbuja inovativnost in poslovne naložbe ter prilagaja evropski izobraževalni sistem potrebam, ki jih narekuje informacijska družba.
• The European Union is open to any European country that fulfils the democratic, political and economic criteria for membership.
• Evropska unija je odprta za vse evropske države, ki izpolnjujejo demokratična, politična in gospodarska merila za članstvo.
• Following several enlargements, the EU has increased from six to 27 members.
• Po več širitvah se je EU s šestih povečala na 27 članic.
Several other countries are candidates to join.
Več novih držav kandidira za pridružitev.
• Each treaty admitting a new member requires the unanimous approval of all member states.
• Vsaka pogodba o vključitvi nove članice zahteva soglasno odobritev vseh držav članic.
In addition, in advance of each new enlargement, the EU will assess its capacity to absorb the new member(s) and the ability of its institutions to continue to function properly.
Poleg tega EU pred vsako novo širitvijo oceni, ali je sposobna sprejeti novo(-e) članico(-e) in ali njene ustanove lahko še naprej ustrezno delujejo.
• The successive enlargements have strengthened democracy, made Europe more secure and increased its potential for trade and economic growth.
• Zaporedne širitve so okrepile demokracijo, prispevale k varnosti Evrope in povečale njeno sposobnost za trženje in gospodarsko rast.

When it met in Copenhagen in December 2002, the European Council took one of the most momentous steps in the history of European integration.
Ko se je Evropski svet decembra 2002 sestal v Københavnu, je napravil enega najpomembnejših korakov v zgodovini evropskega združevanja.
By inviting 10 more countries to join the EU on 1 May 2004, the European Union was not simply increasing its geographical size and population; it was putting an end to the split in our continent which, from 1945 onwards, had separated the free world from the communist bloc.
Ko je Evropska unija povabila 10 novih držav, naj se ji pridružijo 1. maja 2004, to ni pomenilo zgolj, da se bosta povečala njena površina in število prebivalstva, temveč se je s tem predvsem končala delitev naše celine, ki je od leta 1945 naprej ločevala svobodni svet od komunističnega bloka.
