other public debates on important issues affecting the interests of the Union and its citizens.
Da bi državljani lahko spremljali seje Sveta, generalni sekretariat Sveta prek videoprenosa v uradnih jezikih EU predvaja vse za javnost odprte razprave in izražanje stališč Sveta na spletišču Sveta:
In the context of the decision-making procedure, the Council, the Commission and/or one or more of the members of the Council may make statements and request that they be included in the Council minutes.
Izidi glasovanj članov Sveta se vedno objavijo, kadar Svet odloča kot zakonodajni organ.
To enable citizens to follow Council proceedings, the Council General Secretariat broadcasts by way of “video streaming” in the EU’s o cial languages all those Council deliberations and debates which are open to the public, on the Council’s Internet site: www.consilium.europa.eu.
Glasovanje članov Sveta lahko dopolnjujejo razlage glasovanja, ki se na zahtevo avtorja oziroma avtorjev prav tako objavijo.
The rules governing public access to statements in the Council minutes and to the minutes themselves are similar to those on the publication of the results of votes.
Izidi in razlage glasovanja se s soglasno odločitvijo Sveta lahko objavijo tudi v primeru, ko Svet ne odloča kot zakonodajni organ.
This site also provides access to all Council documents being discussed, as well as background information, press releases and also, at the end of each public deliberation ending with a vote on a legislative act, the detailed results of that vote.
V postopku odločanja se lahko zgodi, da Svet, Komisija in/ali eden ali več članov Sveta podajo izjave in prosijo, da se vključijo v zapisnik Sveta.
The minutes contain, for each agenda item, a list of the documents submitted to the Council, the decisions taken or the conclusions reached by the Council, and the statements for the minutes.
Takšne izjave so brez pravnih posledic in štejejo za politični instrument, ki naj bi olajšal odločanje.

Every year the Council opens its doors to the public for the Interinstitutional Open Day.
Svet vsako leto na medinstitucionalni dan odprtih vrat javnosti omogoči ogled prostorov.
Throughout the day the public can take part in a guided tour of the Council’s headquarters in Brussels.
Javnost lahko v tem času v okviru vodenega ogleda obišče sedež institucije v Bruslju.

IN PARTNERSHIP – THE COUNCIL’S RELATIONS WITH THE OTHER EUROPEAN UNION INSTITUTIONS AND BODIES am805477EN_Int.indd 30 am805477EN_Int.indd 30
SODELOVANJE ODNOSI SVETA Z DRUGIMI INSTITUCIJAMI IN ORGANI EVROPSKE UNIJE
The European Union could not function without a high degree of cooperation between the institutions.
Evropska unija ne bi mogla delovati brez tesnega sodelovanja med institucijami.
The Presidency and the General Secretariat must also try to ensure fruitful and effective interinstitutional cooperation.
Tudi predsedstvo in generalni sekretariat Sveta si morata prizadevati za učinkovito in uspešno medinstitucionalno sodelovanje.
Budgetary procedure: agreements between the Council, Parliament and Commission in 1988, 1993, 1999 and more recently the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on sound financial management, have speeded up procedures for adopting the annual budget and strengthened budgetary discipline.
Proračunski postopek:sporazumi, ki so jih Svet, Evropski parlament in Komisija sklenili v letih 1988, 1993 in 1999, ter nedavno sprejeti medinstitucionalni sporazum z dne 17. maja 2006 o dobrem finančnem poslovodenju, so pospešili postopek sprejemanja letnega proračuna in izboljšali proračunsko disciplino.
Their main elements are:
Glavna elementa teh sporazumov sta:
In recent years, the successive reforms of the treaties have strengthened the trend towards the gradual sharing of legislative powers between the European Parliament and the Council.
Z zaporednimi reformami pogodb v preteklih letih se je okrepila težnja po postopni delitvi zakonodajnih pooblastil med Evropskim parlamentom in Svetom.
During the passage of legislation, both these institutions have to work closely together according to procedures which vary according to the provisions of the Treaty for the policy area concerned.
Obe instituciji morata v postopku sprejemanja zakonodaje tesno sodelovati v okviru različnih postopkov, ki se uporabljajo glede na veljavne določbe Pogodbe na posameznem področju.
– the Parliament may amend the budget and if it does so, the Council takes a position on the amendments by qualified majority voting before sending the budget back to Parliament.
Parlament lahko proračun spremeni, v tem primeru se Svet s kvalificirano večino izreče o spremembah, nato pa proračun znova predloži Parlamentu.
Usually further negotiations are needed between the Council and Parliament before the budget is o -cially signed by the President of the Parliament.
Preden predsednik Parlamenta uradno podpiše proračun, so običajno potrebna nova pogajanja med Svetom in Parlamentom.
It should be noted that Parliament has the nal word on non-com-pulsory expenditure entered in the budget while for compulsory expenditure this power falls to the Council.
Naj opozorimo, da ima Parlament zadnjo besedo glede neobveznih odhodkov proračuna, Svet pa glede obveznih odhodkov.
Co-decision: This procedure was introduced by the Treaty of Maastricht.
Privolitev:v nekaterih primerih, določenih v pogodbah, Svet ne more sprejeti akta brez pozitivnega mnenja Parlamenta.
It gives the European Parliament the power to adopt acts jointly with the Council.
Privolitev Evropskega parlamenta je potrebna za pomembne mednarodne sporazume, kot so, denimo, sporazumi o pristopu novih držav članic in pridružitveni sporazumi s tretjimi državami, ter določitev organizacije in ciljev strukturnih skladov in Kohezijskega sklada (zaradi spodbujanja uravnoteženega gospodarskega razvoja v državah članicah in med njimi).
The co-decision procedure involves one, two or three readings.
Postopek soodločanja:ta postopek je bil uveden z Maastrichtsko pogodbo.
It has the effect of increasing contacts between the Parliament and the Council, the co-legislators, and with the Commission.
V skladu z njim je Evropski parlament pooblaščen za sprejemanje aktov skupaj s Svetom.
The co-de-cision procedure was simplified by the Treaty of Amsterdam to make it more eficient and faster and to strengthen the Parliament’s role.
Postopek soodločanja zajema eno, dve ali tri obravnave in veča število stikov med Parlamentom in Svetom kot sozakonodajalcema ter Komisijo.
It has also been extended to cover new areas, in particular social exclusion, public health and the prevention of fraud affecting the European Community’s financial interests.
Amsterdamska pogodba je postopek soodločanja poenostavila, da bi bil učinkovitejši, hitrejši in da bi se z njim okrepila vloga Parlamenta.
The Treaty of Nice again transferred seven additional areas to qualified majority voting in the Council and the co-decision procedure. The areas concerned are incentives to combat discrimination, judicial
Postopek je bil poleg tega razširjen na nova področja, kot so socialna vključenost, javno zdravje ali boj proti goljufijam, ki vplivajo na finančne interese Evropske skupnosti.
Assent: in certain cases provided for in the treaties, the Council cannot adopt an act without Parliament’s favourable opinion.
S Pogodbo iz Nice je postopek soodločanja zajel dodatnih sedem področij, o katerih Svet zdaj odloča s kvalificirano večino.
The European Parliament’s assent is required for important international agreements am805477EN_Int.indd 31 am805477EN_Int.indd 31
Gre za spodbujevalne ukrepe za boj proti diskriminaciji, ukrepe za pravosodno sodelovanje v civilnih zadevah, posebne ukrepe v podporo industriji, ukrepe v zvezi z ekonomsko in socialno kohezijo ter statusom evropskih strank in navsezadnje tudi za ukrepe, povezane z vizumi, azilom in priseljevanjem.
may also take part in particularly important debates and make statements on specific subjects;
• sodeluje pri nekaterih posebno pomembnih razpravah in daje izjave o določenih temah;
Consultation procedure: requires an advisory opinion from the Parliament before the Council can adopt a legislative proposal from the Commission.
Postopek posvetovanja:v tem postopku mora Parlament podati svetovalno mnenje, preden lahko Svet sprejme zakonodajni predlog, ki ga predloži Komisija.
This applies, for example, to the annual agricultural price review and to decisions and agreements on trade matters.
Ta postopek se uporablja na primer pri letnem določanju cen kmetijskih proizvodov ali pri odločitvah in sporazumih na trgovinskem področju.
Responding to Parliament
Nastopi pred Parlamentom
The Council Presidency has a vital role in representing the Council before the Parliament.
Predsedstvo Sveta ima odločilno vlogo pri zastopanju Sveta pred Parlamentom.
During its six months’ term, the Presidency:
V svojem šestmesečnem mandatu:
• presents its programme to the Parliament at the beginning of its term and reports on progress at the end;
• na začetku mandata Parlamentu predstavi svoj program, na koncu mandata pa poroča o doseženem napredku;
• delivers an oral report by the President following each meeting of the European Council; appears before parliamentary committees to make a statement and answer questions.
• nastopa pred parlamentarnimi odbori, kjer daje izjave ali odgovarja na vprašanja.
It is usually represented by a Minister for European Affairs or by the minister who is the President of the Council responsible for the matter under discussion.
Običajno ga zastopa minister za evropske zadeve ali predsedujoči seji Sveta, ki vprašanje obravnava.
During each Presidency there is normally one ministerial appearance before each parliamentary committee.
Med vsakim predsedovanjem ministri običajno nastopijo pred vsakim parlamentarnim odborom enkrat.
This occurs more regularly before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, its Subcommittees on Security and Defence and Human Rights, and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
Nastopi so pogostejši pred Odborom za zunanje zadeve, pododboroma za varnost in obrambo in človekove pravice ter pred Odborom za državljanske svoboščine, pravosodje in notranje zadeve.
According to the EU Treaty, under the Common Foreign and Security Policy the Presidency is assisted by the Secretary General/High Representative for the CFSP.
V skladu s Pogodbo EU predsedstvu v okviru skupne zunanje in varnostne politike pomaga generalni sekretar/visoki predstavnik za SZVP.
The latter also appears regularly before the Parliament’s plenary session and Committee on Foreign Affairs. airs.
Slednji redno nastopa tudi na plenarnih zasedanjih in pred Odborom Evropskega parlamenta za zunanje zadeve.
This relationship is marked by constructive cooperation and some eeting tension.
Uradno da Komisija politično pobudo in sproži postopek odločanja.
Formally, the Commission initiates the policy and decision-making process.
Svet te pobude ne upošteva vedno, vendar ima Komisija pri njegovem delu večinoma ključno vlogo.
It does not always get its way with the Council but it plays a pivotal role in much of the Council’s work.
Poleg vidikov njunih odnosov, ki jih urejata pogodbi, so zelo pomembne tudi nekatere nekoliko manj uradne oblike sodelovanja, kot so:
In addition to the treaty regulated
– neuradne izmenjave mnenj med uradniki Komisije, predstavniki zasebnega sektorja in uradniki držav
Mr Hans Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament, and Mr Javier Solana, SG/HR am805477EN_Int.indd 32 am805477EN_Int.indd 32

− informal exchanges of opinion between Commission oficials, the private sector and o cials of the Member States before the Commission nally drafts a proposal.
Ministri predsedujoče države članice navedenima odboroma predstavijo delovni program predsedstva, občasno pa se udeležijo tudi plenarnih zasedanj, na katerih razpravljajo o nekaterih posebnih vprašanjih.
Sounding out the Council in this way may often speed up progress to agreement;
Pogodbi določata, da mora Svet na nekaterih področjih omenjena odbora zaprositi za mnenje o zakonodajnih predlogih.
Presidency Ministers present the Presidency’s work programme to these Committees and occasionally attend plenary sessions to discuss specific subjects. In some areas, the Treaties require the Council to take note of the Committees’ opinions on legislative proposals.
Komisija lahko predsedstvu pomaga doseči dogovor, in sicer tako, da posreduje med člani Sveta ter je, odvisno od primera, pripravljena spremeniti predlog med samimi pogajanji, s čimer zagotovi potrebno kvalificirano večino;
• the Commission can help the Presidency to secure agreement by supporting its efforts to mediate between the Council’s Members, and by being ready or not, as the case may be, to amend its proposals during the course of a negotiation in order to secure the necessary quali- ed majority;
Komisija lahko z mnenji prispeva k oblikovanju delovnega programa predsedstva;
The acts of the Council, like those of other EU institutions, can be challenged by Member States, other institutions, individuals and companies before the Court of First Instance and before the Court of Justice, in the cases defined by the Treaties.
Akte Sveta in akte drugih institucij EU lahko države članice, druge institucije, posamezniki in podjetja v primerih, določenih s pogodbama, spodbijajo pred Sodiščem prve stopnje ali pred Sodiščem.
The Council and the other institutions can also bring cases before the Court.
Tudi Svet in druge institucije lahko zadeve predložijo Sodišču.
The judges of the Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and the European Union Civil Service Tribunal and the members of the Court of Auditors are appointed by the Council, on proposals from the Member States.
Sodnike Sodišča, Sodišča prve stopnje in Sodišča za uslužbence Evropske unije ter člane Računskega sodišča imenuje Svet na predlog držav članic.
the Commission and Council coordinate closely on external issues because both have responsibilities for representing the EU to the outside world.
Komisija in Svet tesno usklajujeta svoje zunanjepolitično ukrepanje, saj sta oba pristojna za zastopanje EU v svetu.
On many trade issues, for example, the Commission negotiates not only for the Community, but also for all Member States and is their authorised representative (e.g. in the World Trade Organization in general).
O številnih trgovinskih vprašanjih se Komisija na primer pogaja ne le v imenu Skupnosti, temveč tudi v imenu vseh držav članic; je njihova uradna zastopnica (na primer v Svetovni trgovinski organizaciji na splošno).
In many relationships with third States (e.g. those covered by association agreements) the Commission negotiates while sharing representation with the Council.
V odnosih s tretjimi državami pogajanja pogosto vodi Komisija (denimo v primeru, ko pridružitveni sporazum že obstaja), pri čemer vlogo zastopnika deli s Svetom.
In the area of foreign policy, the Council Presidency negotiates on behalf of the EU and is its sole representative.
Na področju zunanje politike se v imenu EU pogaja predsedstvo Sveta, ki je njen edini zastopnik.

The Union has a High Representative, Javier Solana, as its face and voice abroad.
Evropska unija je pomemben akter na sedanjem mednarodnem prizorišču.
It has a security strategy guiding its response to global threats and underpinning its strategic relations with key partner countries and regions, with which it holds regular summits.
S prebivalstvom, ki šteje 500 milijonov ljudi in ustvari več kot 25 odstotkov svetovnega bruto domačega proizvoda (BDP), zagotovi polovico celotne razvojne pomoči in prispeva k petini svetovnega uvoza in izvoza, je Unija aktivni politični akter, ki mora svoje regionalne in globalne varnostne interese uskladiti s pristojnostmi, ki iz njih izhajajo.
EU Special Representatives work in all corners of the world to further the Union’s foreign policy aims.
Tako Evropejci kot Neevropejci želijo, da EU igra to vlogo.
The European Union is now a major player on the world stage.
Unija ima visokega predstavnika, Javierja Solano, ki je njen obraz in glas v tujini.
With a population of some 500 million people representing over 25 % of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP), providing half of all development aid and contributing to a fth of world-wide imports and exports, the Union is an active political player, with regional and global security interests and responsibilities to match.
Njena varnostna strategija usmerja delovanje Unije pri soočanju z grožnjami v svetu in je podlaga za strateške odnose s ključnimi partnerskimi državami in regijami, s katerimi se redno sestaja na vrhunskih srečanjih.
It is a role that Europeans and non-Europeans alike want the EU to play.
Povsod po svetu si posebni predstavniki EU prizadevajo uresničevati cilje Unije na področju zunanje politike.
The Union has privileged relationships with its closest neighbours in the Western Balkans and the Mediterranean region.
Unija razvija privilegirane odnose z najbližjimi sosedami na Zahodnem Balkanu in na območju Sredozemlja.
It has a vast web of complex relationships with the rest of the world covering political cooperation, trade and development aid, and it plays a key role in international agreements on trade, the environment and human rights.
Z ostalim svetom je vzpostavila široko mrežo kompleksnih odnosov na področju političnega sodelovanja, trgovine in razvojne pomoči, prav tako pa igra ključno vlogo v mednarodnih sporazumih o trgovini, okolju in človekovih pravicah.
Since January 2007, the Union numbers 27 Member States, following the most recent wave of enlargement that has taken in 12 new members, overcoming the divisions of the continent in the 20th century.
Po zadnjem valu širitve januarja 2007, s katerim je bilo v Unijo sprejetih 12 novih članic, končala pa se je tudi razdeljenost celine, ki smo ji bili priča v 20. stoletju, Unija šteje 27 držav članic.

It was the geopolitical changes that followed the collapse of communism at the end of the 1980s, the reunification of Germany, the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the threat of international terrorism that prompted EU leaders to create and develop its formal instruments of diplomacy and intervention under the Maastricht Treaty in 1993 and the Amsterdam Treaty in 1999.
Geopolitične spremembe po zlomu komunizma ob koncu osemdesetih let, ponovna združitev Nemčije, konflikti, ki so v devetdesetih letih prizadeli takratno Jugoslavijo, in grožnja mednarodnega terorizma so voditelje EU spodbudili, da v okviru Maastrichtske pogodbe iz leta 1993 in Amsterdamske pogodbe iz leta 1999 oblikujejo in razvijajo formalne instrumente diplomacije in posredovanja.
The EU has a common foreign policy through which it speaks with one voice on key international issues.
Evropska unija ima skupno zunanjo politiko, na podlagi katere v ključnih mednarodnih zadevah nastopa enotno.
It is playing an essential role in the Middle East peace process, in diplomacy with Iran and in strengthening the stability of the Western Balkans, including in Kosovo.
Njeno delovanje je bistvenega pomena za bližnjevzhodni mirovni proces, za diplomatske odnose z Iranom in za krepitev stabilnosti na Zahodnem Balkanu, tudi na Kosovu.

He has been mandated by the international community to represent it in conducting talks with Iran on its nuclear programme.
Mednarodna skupnost ga je določila, da jo zastopa v pogovorih z Iranom o njegovem jedrskem programu.
He has steered the EU’s active role in a number of countries in the Western Balkans, including the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where he led the negotiations on the Ohrid Agreement, as well as in Serbia and Montenegro, between whom he facilitated the Belgrade Agreement, and Kosovo.
Zaslužen je za aktivno vlogo EU v več državah Zahodnega Balkana, tudi v Nekdanji jugoslovanski republiki Makedoniji, v kateri je vodil pogajanja v zvezi z ohridskim sporazumom, Srbiji in Črni gori, katerima je olajšal sklenitev beograjskega sporazuma, in na Kosovu.
He has also been actively engaged with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Moldova.
Prav tako je aktivno deloval v državah srednje in vzhodne Evrope, tudi v Ukrajini in Moldaviji.
The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) was established under the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force in 1993, and was strengthened under the 1997 Amsterdam Treaty, which entered into force in 1999.
Skupna zunanja in varnostna politika (SZVP) je bila vzpostavljena z Maastrichtsko pogodbo iz leta 1992, ki je začela veljati leta 1993, okrepljena pa je bila z Amsterdamsko pogodbo iz leta 1997, ki je začela veljati leta 1999.
The Amsterdam Treaty created the operational arm for the CFSP, the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), with the potential for later creating a common defence structure.
Z Amsterdamsko pogodbo je bil vzpostavljen operativni del SZVP, evropska varnostna in obrambna politika (EVOP), z možnostjo poznejšega oblikovanja skupne obrambne strukture.
The CFSP was further reinforced under the 2001 Nice Treaty, which entered into force in 2003.
Skupna zunanja in varnostna politika je bila ponovno okrepljena s Pogodbo iz Nice iz leta 2001, ki je začela veljati leta 2003.
The High Representative is supported by a number of European Union Special Representatives who are appointed by the Council on his recommendation and are responsible for developing and helping to implement the Union’s foreign policy objectives around the world.
Visokemu predstavniku pomaga več posebnih predstavnikov Evropske unije, ki jih imenuje Svet na njegovo priporočilo, odgovorni pa so za razvijanje in pomoč pri uresničevanju zunanjepolitičnih ciljev Unije v svetu.
