The Presidency then circulates the draft conclusions of the European Council, which are discussed in Coreper II, and then in the GAERC.
Mesec dni pred zasedanjem Evropskega sveta predsedstvo razdeli „obrazloženi dnevni red“, v katerem so za vsako točko dnevnega reda opisane namere predsedstva.
The European Council defines the outlines for development of the European Union.
Evropski svet določi razvojne smernice Evropske unije.
For example, in November 2004 the European Council drew up an ambitious programme for the development of justice and home affairs policy.
Tako je, denimo, novembra 2004 pripravil velikopotezen program za razvoj politike na področju pravosodja in notranjih zadev.
Each spring it reviews the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy for growth and employment.
Vsako pomlad pregleda izvajanje lizbonske strategije za rast in delovna mesta.
It is at this level that the negotiations for accession of the new Member States were nalised in 2002.
Prav na tej ravni so se leta 2002 zaključila pogajanja o pristopu novih držav članic.
It was also the European Council which in December 2005 concluded the negotiations on the nancing of the Union over the period 2007-2013.
Evropski svet je poleg tega decembra 2005 končal pogajanja o financiranju Unije za

Predsedstvo nato razdeli osnutek sklepov Evropskega sveta, o katerem najprej razpravlja Coreper II, nato pa še Svet GAERC.
The European Council’s secretariat
Sekretariat Evropskega sveta
European Council meetings generally last for a day and a half.
Zasedanje Evropskega sveta običajno traja dan in pol.
Since 1987 these meetings have been preceded by an address by the President of the European Parliament.
Od leta 1987 pred začetkom teh zasedanj nastopi predsednik Evropskega parlamenta.
The first working meeting then begins, followed by informal discussions during the separate dinners of the Heads of State or Government and Foreign Ministers.
Nato se začne prva delovna seja, ki ji sledijo neuradne razprave med večerjo voditeljev držav in vlad na eni strani in ministrov za zunanje zadeve na drugi.
The secretariat for the European Council is provided by the General Secretariat of the Council. It assists the Presidency in preparing the annotated agenda and the draft conclusions.
Generalni sekretar in njegov namestnik med Evropskim svetom pomagata predsedstvu, zlasti pri doseganju dogovora glede osnutka sklepov.
During the European Council, the Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General assist the Presidency, particularly in order to reach agreement on the draft conclusions.
Na koncu zasedanja Evropskega sveta generalni sekretar pripravi pod vodstvom predsedstva končno različico sklepov.
After dinner, the Presidency and o cials from the Council’s General Secretariat will nalise the draft conclusions based on the first day’s talks and texts on specific issues that will be the subject of negotiations the following day before being approved.
Predsedstvo in uradniki generalnega sekretariata Sveta po večerji na podlagi razprav prvega dne in besedil v zvezi s posebnimi vprašanji dokončno oblikujejo osnutek sklepov, o katerem se bodo pogajali in naj bi ga potrdili naslednji dan.
Another plenary session is held in the morning of day two, and this may stretch into the afternoon.
Drugo plenarno zasedanje poteka zjutraj naslednjega dne in lahko traja do popoldneva.
At the close, the “Presidency Conclusions” are distributed to the media.
Ob koncu zasedanja mediji prejmejo sklepe predsedstva.
At the end of the European Council the General Secretariat draws up, under the Presidency’s responsibility, the nal version of the conclusions.
Evropski svet se zaključi s tiskovno konferenco, ki jo vodita predsednik Evropskega sveta in predsednik Komisije.

THE COUNCIL AT WORK – THE COUNCIL AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY am805477EN_Int.indd 22 am805477EN_Int.indd 22
SVET NA DELU SVET KOT ZAKONODAJNI ORGAN
Setting and managing the agenda
Določitev in vodenje delovnega programa
Once a Commission proposal has been received by the Council, it is passed to the Economic and Social Committee and to the Committee of the Regions for opinions when required by the Treaty.
Ko Svet prejme predlog Komisije, ga – če to zahteva Pogodba – posreduje Ekonom-sko-socialnemu odboru in Odboru regij, da o njem podata mnenje.
Then the work enters three phases:
Delo nato poteka v treh fazah.
Phase One: examining the proposal
Prva faza: pregled predloga
In addition to the six-monthly rotation of the Presidency, the Council’s longer-term business must be sustained.
Predsedstvo se menja vsakih šest mesecev, dolgoročno delo Sveta pa se nadaljuje.
The consistency and continuity of its work are reinforced by a planning effort at three levels: the Council’s 18-month programme, the Council’s indicative agendas and the timetable of Presidency meetings.
Skladnost in kontinuiteta dela sta podkrepljeni z načrtovanjem na treh ravneh: 18-mesečni program Sveta, okvirni dnevni redi Sveta in razpored sej predsedstva.
This working party begins with a general examination of the proposal and then makes a line-by-line scrutiny.
Delovna skupina predlog najprej preuči na splošno, nato pa ga natančno pregleda. Pri tem ni časovno omejena.
There is no formal limit on the time a working party can take to complete its work; that varies very much from one proposal to another.
Čas, ki ga delovna skupina porabi za pregled predloga, se lahko od enega predloga do drugega zelo razlikuje.
For each 18-month programme, the three Presidencies which will be in ofice during that period draw up the Council’s programme.
Tri predsedstva, ki bodo predsedovala v posameznem 18-mesečnem obdobju, za to obdobje pripravijo program Sveta.
This covers the Union’s major objectives in all sectors of activity.
V njem so navedeni pomembni cilji Unije na vseh področjih ukrepanja.
The programme is subject to the approval of the General Affairs and External Relations Council, which debates it in public session.
Program se predloži v odobritev Svetu za splošne zadeve in zunanje odnose, ki o njem razpravlja na javni seji.
Phase Two: enter Coreper
Druga faza: vključitev Coreperja
Coreper (or the Special Committee on Agriculture for most agricultural matters) takes up the issue after receiving a report from the working party.
Coreper (ali Posebni odbor za kmetijstvo, ki razpravlja o večini vprašanj v zvezi s kmetijstvom) začne o predlogu razpravljati, ko prejme poročilo, ki ga je pripravila delovna skupina.
Before taking up its duties, the Presidency draws up indicative agendas for all the Council meetings it plans to organise.
Pred začetkom predsedovanja predsedstvo pripravi okvirne dnevne rede za vse načrtovane seje Sveta.
These agendas are defined in the light of the Council’s 18-month programme.
Ti dnevni redi so pripravljeni ob upoštevanju 18-mesečnega programa Sveta.
Handling the business
Vodenje dela
Its treatment of the proposal will depend on how much agreement has been reached at that level.
Koliko časa Coreper razpravlja o predlogu, je odvisno od dogovora, ki je bil do te stopnje že mogoče dosežen.
If it is suficient to allow Coreper to agree upon the proposal without discussion, it features on Part I of the agenda and is then sent to the Council for enactment.
Če predhodni dogovor Coreperju dovoljuje, da predlog sprejme brez razprave, se ta vključi v njegov dnevni red kot „1. del“, nato pa se predloži Svetu v sprejetje.
If further discussion is needed within Coreper because agreement has not been reached in the working party on certain aspects of a proposal, it is listed in Part II of the Coreper agenda.
Če pa mora Coreper o predlogu še razpravljati, ker delovna skupina ni mogla doseči dogovora glede nekaterih vidikov predloga, se predlog vključi v dnevni red kot „2. del“.
In this case, Coreper can:
V tem primeru lahko Coreper:
• try to negotiate a settlement itself;
• poskuša sam doseči dogovor;
The best way to understand how the Council works is to follow the progress of a Commission proposal for Council legislation.
Najlažji način, kako razumeti delovanje Sveta, je, da sledimo poti predloga Komisije za zakonodajni akt Sveta.
• too politically sensitive to be settled at a lower level.
• ki so politično preobčutljive, da bi se lahko reševale na nižjih ravneh.
refer the proposal back to the working party, perhaps with suggestions for a compromise;
dosje vrne delovni skupini in mu morebiti priloži kompromisne predloge;
• pass the matter up to the Council.
• dosje pošlje Svetu.
Most proposals feature several times on the agenda of Coreper, which seeks to resolve differences that the working party has not overcome.
Večina predlogov se večkrat pojavi na dnevnem redu Coreperja, ki skuša rešiti nesoglasja, ki jih delovna skupina ni mogla rešiti.
Phase Three: Council decides
Tretja faza: odločanje v Svetu
The Council’s decision-making can therefore be summed up as a three-stage process.
Če povzamemo, lahko rečemo, da odločanje v Svetu poteka v treh fazah.
At one end, the main technical work is done at the level of the experts sitting on working parties; at the other, the ministers meeting in the Council take the political decisions.
Na eni strani glavno tehnično delo opravijo strokovnjaki v delovnih skupinah; na drugi strani ministri, ki se sestanejo v Svetu, sprejmejo politične odločitve.
Between the two, the Ambassadors of the Member States in Coreper combine technical expertise and ability to engage in political arbitration.
Med obema stranema pa veleposlaniki držav članic v Coreperju združujejo tehnično strokovno znanje in sposobnost politične arbitraže.
In this respect, Coreper acts as a kind of catalyst for the Council.
V tem smislu Coreper spodbuja delo Sveta.
If Coreper has been able to agree a proposal, it will become an “A” item on the Council agenda, meaning that agreement is expected without discussion.
Če je Coreper odobril predlog, se ta vključi v dnevni red Sveta kot točka pod „A“, kar pomeni, da naj bi se predlog sprejel brez razprave.
As a rule, around two thirds of the items on a Council agenda will be for adoption as “A” items.
Na splošno velja, da je približno dve tretjini točk dnevnega reda Sveta sprejetih kot točka pod „A“.
Discussion on these items can nevertheless be re-opened if one or more Member States so request.
Vsekakor pa lahko Svet o teh točkah ponovno razpravlja, če ena ali več držav članic to zahteva.
Other items are entered into the “B” section of the Council agenda.
Druge točke se vključijo v dnevni red Sveta kot točke pod „B“.
“B” items are matters:
Točke pod „B“ so zadeve:
• left over from previous Council meetings;
• ki jih ni bilo mogoče rešiti na predhodnih sejah Sveta;
• upon which no agreement was possible in Coreper or the working party;
• o katerih niti Coreper niti delovna skupina nista mogla doseči dogovora;
Coreper is also the preferred forum for negotiation with the European Parliament.
Na ravni Coreperja naj bi tudi prednostno potekala pogajanja z Evropskim parlamentom.
Most areas of Community legislation are nowadays subject to the co-decision procedure.
O večini zakonodajnih področij Skupnosti se že odloča po postopku soodločanja.
On the basis of a Commission proposal, the two legislative branches – European Parliament and Council – are involved in a sometimes long and arduous process of negotiation, at both internal and interinstitutional level, in order to reach a nal agreement on the legislative text to be adopted.
Na podlagi predloga Komisije sta obe zakonodajni veji, to sta Evropski parlament in Svet, vključeni v včasih dolg in zahteven postopek pogajanj, tako na interni ravni kot na medinstitucionalni ravni, njun namen pa je doseči končni dogovor glede zakonodajnega besedila, ki naj bi bilo sprejeto.
The President of Coreper is responsible for conducting most contacts with the European Parliament, especially in the decisive nal stages of negotiation.
Za vodenje večine pogovorov z Evropskim parlamentom je odgovoren predsednik Coreperja, zlasti v odločilnih fazah in pri koncu pogajanj.
To do so, he must at each stage have the dossier examined first by Coreper and obtain a mandate for negotiation.
Zadevo mora zato v vsaki fazi predložiti Coreperju v predhodno preučitev in pridobiti mandat za pogajanja.
So it should be no surprise
Postopki odločanja
A meeting room seen from an interpreter’s booth am805477EN_Int.indd 24 am805477EN_Int.indd 24
Pogodbi določata, kdaj Svet odloča z navadno večino, kvalificirano večino ali soglasno.
Member States’ votes are weighted as follows:
Ponderiranje glasov držav članic
29 votes each
Nemčija, Francija Italija, Združeno kraljestvo vsaka 29
Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom
Glasovanje lahko zahtevajo predsednik Sveta in drugi člani Sveta.
12 votes each
Romunija Nizozemska glasov vsaka 12
10 votes each
Belgija, Češka republika, Grčija, Madžarska, Portugalska glasov vsaka 10
7 votes each
Danska, Irska, Litva, Slovaška, Finska vsaka 7
4 votes each
Estonija, Ciper, Latvija, Luksemburg, Slovenija vsaka 4
345 votes simple majority: this means a majority of the members (i.e. 14 out of 27, not counting abstentions). It is the method applied unless the Treaty provides otherwise, and is mainly used for procedural decisions – each Member has one vote;
345 glasov glasovanje s kvalificirano večino(to pomeni ponderiranje glasov članov Sveta glede na velikost države): Enotni akt, nato pa Pogodba o Evropski uniji, Amsterdamska pogodba in Pogodba iz Nice (sedaj v veljavi) so znatno razširile možnost takšnega glasovanja, ki se sedaj uporablja za sprejetje večine odločitev Evropske unije (razen glede vprašanj v zvezi s SZVP, obdavčitvijo, zaposlovanjem itd., o katerih se odloča s soglasjem).
In most cases, if the subject is a Commission proposal a qualified majority is reached if 255 votes in favour are cast by the majority of members.
V večini primerov, ko Svet odloča na predlog Komisije, je za kvalificirano večino potrebnih 255 glasov za, ki jih odda večina članov.
When the Council is not deciding on a Commission proposal, two conditions must be met for it to be adopted by a quali- ed majority:
V primerih, ko Svet ne odloča na predlog Komisije, pa je kvalificirana večina dosežena, če sta izpolnjena dva pogoja:
255 votes out of 345;
– 255 glasov za od skupaj 345;– glasovi za predstavljajo dve tretjini članov Sveta.
Furthermore, a Member State may ask for a check to ensure that the qualified majority comprises at least 62 % of the total population of the European Union.
Vsaka država članica lahko poleg tega zahteva, da se preveri, ali kvalificirana večina predstavlja najmanj 62 % celotnega prebivalstva Evropske unije.
If this turns out not to be the case, the decision is not adopted.
Če se izkaže, da ta pogoj ni bil izpolnjen, predlog ni sprejet.
Finally, the “Luxembourg compromise” must be mentioned.
V tej zvezi je treba omeniti tudi „kompromis iz Luxembourga“.
This is a political statement which has not been agreed by all Member States.
To je politična izjava, ki je niso odobrile vse države članice.
Some of them invoke it in the case of decisions which may be taken by quali- ed majority vote on a proposal of the Commission and where they nd that vital national interests are at stake.
Nekatere med njimi se nanjo sklicujejo, kadar se odločitve na podlagi predloga Komisije sicer lahko sprejmejo s kvalificirano večino, menijo pa, da so v igri „pomembni“ nacionalni interesi.
If this is invoked, the Council might either vote and reject the wish of the Member State concerned, or endeavour, within a reasonable time, to reach a solution.
Kadar se posamezna država članica sklicuje na kompromis iz Luxembourga, lahko Svet bodisi glasuje – in tako ne upošteva želje zadevne države članice – ali pa skuša v razumnem času najti rešitev.
This is a political (not a legal) instrument to which reference is sometimes made, but which is rarely invoked in practice.
Gre za politični in ne pravni instrument, na katerega se države članice včasih sklicujejo, a se v praksi le redko uporabi;
A meeting of Foreign Ministers
Sestanek ministrov za zunanje zadeve
– has the possibility of submitting an amended proposal at any time during the negotiations.
• pa ima v takem primeru vedno možnost, da lahko kadar koli med pogajanji predloži spremenjeni predlog.
This gives the Commission an active and important role in the Council’s negotiating process.
Tako ima tudi Komisija dejavno in pomembno vlogo pri pogajanjih v Svetu.
Abstention by a member of the Council does not prevent unanimity.
Vzdržanje enega člana Sveta ne prepreči soglasja.
When a decision is needed more urgently than the time in which a Council meeting can be arranged, it can be taken by a written vote if the Council or Coreper agree unanimously to use that procedure.
Če je zaradi nujnosti sprejetja odločitve potrebno, da se ta sprejme, preden se Svet lahko sestane, se lahko takšna odločitev sprejme po pisnem postopku, če se Svet ali Coreper soglasno odločita za tak postopek.
Unanimity: it is still required in a number of elds such as taxation, “constitutional matters”, social security, environment (in part), energy, culture, industry, horizontal international agreements with developed countries.
soglasje: soglasje je še vedno potrebno na nekaterih področjih, kot so obdavčitev, „ustavna vprašanja“, socialna varnost, okolje (deloma), energija, kultura, industrija, mednarodni horizontalni sporazumi z razvitimi državami.
It is also the rule for common strategies, joint actions or common positions adopted under the CFSP and in many areas of Justice and Home Affairs.
Praviloma se uporablja tudi pri sprejemanju skupnih strategij, skupnih ukrepov ali skupnih stališč v Svetu v okviru SZVP in na veliko področjih, ki zadevajo pravosodje in notranje zadeve.
Finally, the Council has to be unanimous if it wishes to amend a Commission proposal against the Commission’s wishes. However, the Commission
Soglasje je tudi potrebno, če Svet želi spremeniti predlog Komisije v primeru, da Komisija temu nasprotuje. Komisija
Transparency and openness of the Council’s decision-making process
Preglednost in javnost postopka odločanja v Svetu
The two basic aspects of transparency
Temeljna vidika preglednosti
Access to a document may be refused where such access would adversely affect the protection of certain interests. The applicant then has 15 working days to submit a confirmatory application.
Če je potrdilna prošnja popolnoma ali delno zavrnjena, lahko prosilec vloži pritožbo pri evropskem varuhu človekovih pravic in/ali sproži postopek pred Sodiščem prve stopnje Evropskih skupnosti.
If the confirmatory application is rejected in its entirety or in part, the applicant may lodge a complaint with the European Ombudsman and/or le an appeal before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities.
Za javnost odprte razprave Sveta in javno izražanje stališč
The principle of public access to documents of the Community institutions is considered to be one of the basic elements of the transparency policy, which aims to strengthen the democratic nature of the institutions and public confidence in the administration, and the second aspect is the openness of the Council’s decision-making process.
Načelo dostopa javnosti do dokumentov institucij Skupnosti je prvi temeljni vidik politike preglednosti, katere cilj je okrepiti demokratičnost institucij in zaupanje javnosti v upravo; drugi vidik pa zadeva odprtost postopka odločanja v Svetu za javnost.
Council deliberations open to the public and public debates
Dostop javnosti do dokumentov Sveta
Public access to Council documents
V okviru te politike je določeno zlasti, da so za javnost odprte vse razprave Sveta o zakonodajnih aktih, sprejetih v skladu s postopkom soodločanja.
All citizens have the right of access to Council documents under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents.
Vsak državljan ima možnost dostopa do dokumentov Sveta pod pogoji iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1049/2001 o dostopu javnosti do dokumentov Evropskega parlamenta, Sveta in Komisije.
Public access to the Council’s deliberations and debates is part of its overall transparency policy. This policy specifies inter alia that all Council deliberations on legislative acts adopted according to the co-decision procedure are open to the public.
prve razprave Sveta o drugih zakonodajnih aktih, kot so akti, sprejeti v skladu s postopkom soodločanja, in naknadne razprave o posameznem aktu, razen če Svet ali Coreper ne odloči drugače;
In addition, the following are also open to the public:
Generalni sekretariat Sveta mora odgovoriti v roku 15 delovnih dni, ki se izjemoma lahko podaljša za dodatnih 15 delovnih dni.
Access generally involves issuing a copy of the document, or where appropriate providing an electronic version.
Dostop do dokumentov se običajno izvede tako, da se izda izvod dokumenta ali po potrebi elektronski izvod.
the first deliberations of the Council on legislative acts other than those adopted under the co-decision procedure and subsequent deliberations on a given act, unless otherwise decided by the Council or Coreper;
razprave Sveta za splošne zadeve in zunanje odnose o 18-meseč-nem programu in razprave drugih sestav Sveta o njihovih prednostnih nalogah;
In order to make it easier to nd documents which might be requested, the General Secretariat of the Council publishes a public register of Council documents on the Internet.
Da bi bilo iskanje dokumentov, za katere se lahko zaprosi, karseda preprosto, generalni sekretariat prek interneta zagotovi dostop do javnega registra dokumentov Sveta.
Certain categories of document, in particular where the Council is acting in its capacity as legislator, are available on-line as soon as they have been circulated to delegates of the Member States.
Nekatere vrste dokumentov, zlasti v primerih, ko Svet odloča kot zakonodajni organ, so dostopne prek interneta, takoj ko so ti dokumenti razdeljeni delegacijam držav članic.
Furthermore, documents which have been supplied in response to individual requests are also available via the register.
Prek registra so dostopni tudi dokumenti, izdani na podlagi posameznih prošenj.
