Eighth regional seminar of ACP–EU economic and social interest groups in Mali
8. regionalni seminar ekonomsko-socialnih interesnih skupin AKP-EU v Maliju
The fight against HIV is becoming a priority future implementation of the EPAs. In the final declaration adopted by the delegates on 24 May, it was proposed to create a civil society platform at West African level, to be consulted on the EPAs by the European and ACP negotiators.
Boj proti HIV postaja prednostna naloga maja, se predlaga oblikovanje zahodnoafriške platforme za civilno družbo, s katero se bodo evropski pogajalci in pogajalci AKP lahko posvetovali o sporazumih o gospodarskem partnerstvu.
To this end, the delegates called for political and financial support for the establishment of this civil society network.
Zato so delegati pozvali k politični in finančni podpori za vzpostavitev te mreže civilne družbe.

He was a member of the Lower Saxony regional parliament in the 1970s, then a member of the German parliament, where he was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Economy Ministry.
V 70. letih je bil član parlamenta Spodnje Saške, nato pa član nemškega parlamenta, v katerem je bil parlamentarni državni sekretar na ministrstvu za gospodarstvo.
Since 1990 he has been Director-General and a member of the Bureau of the Confederation of German Industry (Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie — BDI), where he looks after European affairs.

EESC Bureau meeting in Vienna us and those less fortunate.
osnovi zadovoljnih ljudi, tako da gre pri tem za dve plati iste medalje.
There can be no race to the bottom. That is not the way for Europe to go.
Iz natanko enakih razlogov potrebujemo trajnostni razvoj in varstvo okolja.
Hence, the social dimension is just as important in the Lisbon strategy as the economic one.
Lizbonska strategija je jamstvo za prihodnost, in to ne samo za bližnjo.“ nimi partnerji in interesnimi skupinami, in če bo mogoče, tudi s predstavniki regij.
You cannot have a dynamic knowledge-based economy without healthy, well-qualified and basically satisfied people, so these are the two sides of the same coin.
Pri globalizacijskem izzivu je socialna razsežnost enako pomembna kot gospodarska, meni generalna sekretarka.
Sustainable development and the environment matter for precisely the same reason.
„Seveda so ljudje zaradi globalizacije zaskrbljeni.
The Lisbon strategy is a guarantee for the future, and not just for tomorrow.’ popular worry is job security, so we have to manage to communicate that when we say “Lisbon” what we’re actually talking about is a strategy to provide more jobs, and more interesting jobs, for our citizens.’
Evropa se bo sposobna veliko uspešneje soočati s posledicami in izkoriščati priložnosti, ki jih ponuja globalizacija, če bomo delovali skupaj.
We are really trying to connect with a much wider range of people to get a basic message across, which is that we can only produce more jobs and more prosperity and security by working together.’
Skupaj predstavljamo zelo velik blok, medtem ko ima vsaka posamezna država članica, celo največja, v svetu veliko manj vpliva.
Finally Ms Day was clear on the appointment of women to top positions in the European institutions: ‘I’m in favour of a very strong and positive environment and the political top level making it clear that we want to see more women involved, but merit has to be a decisive factor.’ Ms Day was equally clear about careers for women within the institutions: ‘Well, first of all, you should definitely come into the European system.
Na koncu je sogovornica pojasnila svoje stališče o ženskah na najvišjih položajih v evropskih institucijah: „Zagovarjam ženskam naklonjeno, pozitivno okolje ter jasno sporočilo z najvišje politične ravni, da je treba na najvišje položaje vključevati več žensk, vendar morajo biti odločilni dejavnik poklicne odlike.“ Enako brez dlake na jeziku je spregovorila tudi o poklicnih možnostih žensk v institucijah: „Najprej morate zares priti v sistem evropskih institucij.
It’s a fantastic and rewarding professional experience.’
To je fantastična in zelo koristna poklicna izkušnja.“
‘Clearly, people are concerned about globalisation.
Naj torej ponovim: prvo je skupno sodelovanje, da najdemo odgovore na globalizacijo.
Europe is much better able to deal with the consequences and to take the opportunities offered by globalisation when we work together.
Drugič: obstaja zelo široko soglasje o tem, da Evropejci cenijo svoje različne socialne modele – ne obstaja preprosto le eden.
Together, we represent a very big bloc whereas each individual Member State, even the biggest, has much less influence in the world.
Nasploh vsi postavljamo visoke zahteve in hočemo visoko raven socialne varnosti, živeti želimo v družbi, ki skrbi za nas in za tiste, ki jim je bila usoda manj naklonjena.
‘So, the first point is, once again, working together to find responses to globalisation.
Nobenega izravnavanja navzdol ne more biti, to ni pot za Evropo.
Secondly, there is very widespread agreement that Europeans value their different social models, we don’t just have one.
Zato je v lizbonski strategiji socialna razsežnost enako pomembna kot gospodarska. In potrebni sta obe.
In general, we all want high standards and high levels of social protection and we want to live in societies that take care of
Ne morete imeti dinamičnega, na znanju temelječega gospodarstva brez zdravih, dobro usposobljenih in v
But, she continued, women had to be self-confident.
„Vendar morajo ženske,“ je nadaljevala, „zaupati vase.
‘I think it is also very important for women to network inside the Commission but also across the institutions, though I know that most women are busy juggling their private and professional lives and so do not have enough time for networking.
Zelo pomembno zanje je tudi, da se povezujejo v mreže znotraj Komisije, a tudi med institucijami, čeprav vem, da je večina žensk še kako zaposlena z usklajevanjem svojega zasebnega in poklicnega življenja in da zato nima časa za povezovanje.
That is why I very strongly support AST networking which is bringing together the former B and C grades, precisely to network together, to plan how to develop careers and to support each other.’
Prav zato zelo podpiram povezovanje v AST, ki združuje nekdanji kategoriji B in C – natanko zato, da bi se povezali v mrežo, načrtovali razvoj poklicnih možnosti in se vzajemno podpirali.“
At the invitation of the President of the Austrian Bundesrat, Ms Sissy Roth-Halvax, the Bureau of the European Economic and Social Committee held an extraordinary meeting at the Bundesrat building in Vienna on 7 June 2006.
Izredna seja predsedstva Evropskega ekonomsko-soci-alnega odbora je na povabilo predsednice avstrijskega zveznega sveta Sissy Roth-Halvax potekala 7. junija 2006 v Bundesratu na Dunaju.
Ms Roth-Halvax gave a welcome address on behalf of the Bundesrat.
Sissy Roth-Halvax je v imenu zveznega sveta najprej pozdravila udeležence.
The First Advocate-General at the Court of Justice of the European Communities, Ms Christine Stix-Hackl, made a statement on ‘The Court of Justice of the European Communities: interpretation of Community law and its further development’.
Prva generalna pravobranilka Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti Christine Stix-Hackl je nato predavala o temi„Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti: razumevanje prava Skupnosti in njegov nadaljnji razvoj“.
Then Mr Hubert Heiss, Head of the Coordination Section in the Federal Chancellery, presented a review of the Austrian Presidency of the Council and prospects for the European Council.
Vodja koordinacije urada zveznega kanclerja Hubert Heiss je predstavil oceno avstrijskega predsedovanja Svetu in spregovoril o pričakovanjih, povezanih z zasedanjem Evropskega sveta.
Each presentation was followed by a debate and an exchange of views.
Sledili sta razprava in izmenjava mnenj.
Poverty: ‘How do we cope with everyday life’
Revščina: „Kako biti kos vsakdanjiku?“
On 12 and 13 May, at the initiative of the Austrian Presidency and in cooperation with the Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN), the EESC and the CoR hosted the fifth meeting of people experiencing poverty.
EESO in Odbor regij sta 12. in 13. maja 2006 na pobudo avstrijskega predsedstva in v sodelovanju z Evropsko mrežo proti revščini (EAPN) gostila peto srečanje oseb, ki se srečujejo z revščino, z naslovom „Kako biti kos vsakdanjiku?“.
The day ended with a reception hosted by the President of the EESC, Ms Anne-Marie Sigmund, in the magnificent surroundings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Prek 200 udeležencev je nato prispevalo k živahni in plodni razpravi.
Representatives of Austrian civil society organisations were invited to the reception as well as members of the EU–India round table, which was due to hold its meeting in Vienna the next day.
Poudarek srečanja je bil na izmenjavi informacij in prikazovanju težav, s katerimi se dan za dnem srečujejo ljudje, ki živijo v revščini in na robu družbe.
The main topic was ‘How do we cope with everyday life?’. The title clearly targeted a large number of participants from a wide range of backgrounds.
V drugem delu seje je predsedstvo razpravljalo o smeri delovanja Odbora na področju lizbonske strategije v obdobju 2006–2008 in o osnutku etičnega kodeksa za člane; sklenilo je pregledati poslovnik Odbora že na svojem plenarnem zasedanju 5. in 6. julija 2006 in določilo glavne smernice za delo v okviru prihodnjega finskega predsedstva.
More than 200 people attended and their contributions provoked a lively, fruitful debate.
Na povabilo predsednice EESO ge.
The meeting focused on exchanging information and highlighted the difficulties encountered daily by people suffering from poverty and exclusion.
Sigmund se je seja zaključila s sprejemom v čudovitem umetnostnozgodovinskem muzeju („Kunsthistorisches Museum“), na katerega so bili povabljeni predstavniki organizacij avstrijske civilne družbe in člani okrogle mize EU-Indija, ki je potekala naslednjega dne na Dunaju.
Danish ‘flexicurity’: What lessons can Europe learn?
Danska „fleksivarnost“: kaj se Evropa lahko nauči?
In the face of globalisation and overseas job relocation, flexicurity also creates a high degree of economic and social security by adopting the yardsticks of ‘security of employment rather than job security’ and ‘new personal opportunities brought about by a readiness to change, whilst accepting limited risks’.
Ob globalizaciji in selitvah podjetij fleksivarnost ustvarja visoko stopnjo gospodarske in socialne varnosti s pomočjo načel „zagotovljena zaposlitev namesto zagotovljenega delovnega mesta“ ter„pripravljenost na spremembe in s tem povezano omejeno tveganje odpira nove osebne priložnosti“.
As our Committee’s rapporteur, I have been taking a hard look at ‘flexicurity’ — the Danish practice of combining flexibility and security.
Evropski ekonomskosocialni odbor se je pobliže seznanil s kombinacijo prožnosti in varnosti, t. i. fleksivarnostjo, ki se izvaja na Danskem.
Danish-style flexicurity is one example of how to achieve economic growth, high employment and sound public finances in a socially balanced way.
Danski model fleksivarnosti je primer, kako je mogoče gospodarsko rast, visoko stopnjo zaposlovanja in zdrave javne finance doseči na socialno uravnotežen način.
Its hallmark is a mobile labour market, achieved through vigorous labour-market and training policies, backed up by social security benefits.
V središču je prožni trg dela, ki ga oblikuje aktivna politika trga dela in izobraževanja, spremljajo pa ga elementi socialne varnosti.
The Danish practice of combining flexibility and security: What lessons can Europe learn?
Danska kombinacija prožnosti in varnosti: kaj se Evropa lahko nauči?
Danish-style flexicurity cannot of course be seen in isolation from the overall context of the welfare state and its strong organisational set-up.
Fleksivarnosti seveda ni mogoče obravnavati ločeno od okvirnih pogojev socialne države in njenega visoko razvitega organizacijskega sistema.
In Denmark, this applies, for instance, to the key role which the social partners play in political decision-making and to the application of labour-market and training policies, the broad-based welfare system and the highly skilled workforce.
Na Danskem to velja za osrednjo vlogo socialnih partnerjev pri sprejemanju političnih odločitev, spremljanju politike trga dela in izobraževanja ter za obsežno socialno mrežo, ki se financira z davki, in stopnjo usposobljenosti prebivalstva.
The Danish system is based on a macroeconomic policymix that fosters growth and employment.
Fleksivarnost v osnovi pomeni kombinacijo prožnosti in varnosti, ki delojemalcem lahko zagotovi socialno varnost in konkurenčnost.
High taxation is an essential condition of Danish flexicurity.
Prožnost in varnost tako nista nujno nasprotji.
That said, some basic features may be considered for adoption as a political strategy in other Member States, particularly in those where social capital — i.e. the full range of standards and networks, combined with a relationship of trust among individuals and among organisations — has developed along similar lines to Denmark, including a tradition of cooperation between the government and the social partners and a readiness by the workforce to embrace change.
Danski sistem fleksivarnosti se opira na večplastne makroekonomske instrumente, ki spodbujajo rast in zaposlovanje. Predpogoj za danski model fleksivarnosti so visoki davčni dohodki.
The Danish model provides (i) security through relatively high unemployment benefits, and (ii) flexibility through liberal dismissal rules, including firing at short notice.
Obravnava danske fleksivarnosti v evropskem okviru jasno pokaže, da je zaradi kulturnih, strukturnih in gospodarskih razmer ni mogoče neposredno prenesti na druge države.
Alongside social security and high mobility, a vigorous labour market policy is also needed to ensure that people are actually available for work. Thus, flexibility and security are not necessarily opposites.
Model pa vendarle ima temeljne značilnosti, ki bi v drugih državah članicah lahko prišle v poštev kot politična strategija, in sicer zlasti v tistih državah, kjer je socialni kapital – ki ga je treba razumeti kot skupek standardov, mrež in zaupanja med posamezniki in organizacijami – strukturiran podobno kot na Danskem, tj. v obliki tradicije sodelovanja med državo in socialnimi partnerji ter pripravljenosti na spremembe, ki jo prispevajo državljani.
Decent jobs: Utopia or realistic strategy?
Dostojno delo: utopija ali realistična strategija?
Our publications: European Consumer Day
Nova publikacija: Evropski dan potrošnikov
EESC Thursday meetings are now a well-established tradition at the Committee.
Četrtkova srečanja so v EESO že tradicija.
On this particular occasion, the theme was decent work — an interesting and topical subject in the light of ongoing discussions in several Member States concerning the introduction of a minimum salary.
Tokrat je bilo srečanje posvečeno dostojnemu delu.
Dominique Peccoud SJ, the speaker at this seventh discussion, launched the debate.
Tema, ki jo je na sedmi razpravi predstavil Dominique Peccoud, je zanimiva in aktualna, saj v več državah članicah potekajo razprave o uvedbi minimalne plače.
Dominique Peccoud began by defining the expression ‘decent work’ and what the word ‘decency’ meant to us, with particular emphasis on the concept of dignity, which it implied.
ne poskuša opredeliti mednarodnih politik, ki bi jih povsod izvajali na enak način, temveč želi spoštovati posamezne kulture v njihovem okolju in času.
The ILO differed fundamentally from other organisations in that it did not try to impose a one-size-fits-all approach, but genuinely sought tailor-made solutions for each country.
Za razliko od drugih organizacij ne poskuša uveljavljati modela, ki bi bil enak za vse, temveč išče rešitve „po meri“ vsake države.
Consumers must consciously choose sustainable products wherever possible and thereby play a proactive role in achieving sustainable development objectives.
Strategija ILO temelji na trdnih in univerzalnih temeljih dostojnosti, kar pomeni svobodo združevanja in kolektivnega pogajanja, odpravo prisilnega in otroškega dela ter tudi vsake diskriminacije na delovnem mestu.
That’s why the Committee, in the interests of public awareness, has published the ideas and issues discussed at the conference held on European Consumer Day 2005.
Prav tako je predstavil dejanske ukrepe na področju dela: spoštovanje delovnih standardov, zdravje pri delu, socialno varnost in tristranski dialog med združenji delodajalcev, sindikati in vladami.
The ILO strategy was built on the solid and universal foundations of decency, which in practical terms meant freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining; the elimination of forced and compulsory labour; the abolition of child labour; and the elimination of discrimination in the workplace.
Državljani bi se morali čim pogosteje odločati za trajnostne izdelke ter tako igrati proaktivno vlogo pri uresničevanju ciljev trajnostnega razvoja.
He then went on to discuss its practical implementation in terms of compliance with labour standards, health at work, social security and the tripartite dialogue between employers’ associations, trade unions and governments.
Zato je Odbor z željo po ozaveščanju javnosti sklenil objaviti zamisli in vprašanja, ki so se porodila na lanski konferenci ob Evropskem dnevu potrošnikov.
