They cover the following areas: free movement of persons, air transport, land transport by road and rail, trade in agricultural products, mutual recognition of conformity assessment, government procurement, and cooperation in scientific and technological programmes.
Zajemajo naslednja področja: prosto gibanje oseb, zračni promet, kopenski promet (cestni in železniški), trgovino s kmetijskimi proizvodi, vzajemno priznavanje ocen skladnosti, javna naročila ter sodelovanje v znanstvenih in tehnoloških programih.
Following the successful precedent of the Bilaterals I, a new set of Agreements (Bilaterals II) were signed on 26 October 2004, including Swiss association in the Schengen/Dublin/Eurodac acquis, the ght against fraud and all other illegal activity adversely affecting Swiss and EU financial interests, the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments, trade in processed agricultural products, cooperation in the field of statistics,
Poleg tega evropski gospodarski prostor predvideva sodelovanje in poenotenje zakonodaje pri t. i. „horizontalnih in spremljajočih politikah“, kot so raziskave in razvoj, izobraževanje, informacijska tehnologija, socialna politika, varstvo potrošnikov, okolje, statistika in pravo družb.
In addition, the EEA Agreement also aims to improve eficiency and adds value by opening up for full and equal participation of its Member States in a large and growing number of EU programmes and agencies.
Namen sporazuma EGP je prav tako izboljšati učinkovitost in zagotoviti dodano vrednost
Swiss participation in the Media Community Programmes, in the European Environment Agency and in the European Environment Information and Observation Network.
redu Eurodac, bojem proti goljufijam in vsem drugim nezakonitim dejavnostim, ki ogrožajo finančne interese Švice in EU, obdavčenjem dohodka od prihrankov v obliki plačila obresti, trgovino s predelanimi kmetijskimi proizvodi, sodelovanjem v statistiki, sodelovanjem Švice v programih skupnosti MEDIA, Evropski agenciji za okolje in Evropskem okoljskem informacijskem in opazovalnem omrežju.
In return, Switzerland contributes one billion Swiss francs to the 2004 enlargement to new Member States of the European Union.
Švica pa je v zameno namenila milijardo švicarskih frankov širitvi na nove države članice Evropske unije leta 2004.
The European Union is the most important trading power in the world.
Evropska unija je največja svetovna trgovinska sila.
The total of EU trade (imports and exports combined) with the rest of the world (excluding internal trade between EU members) amounted to EUR 2.238 billion in 2005.
Trgovina EU (uvoz in izvoz skupaj) z ostalim svetom (razen notranje trgovine med članicami EU) je v letu 2005 skupaj znašala 2,238 milijarde EUR.
The EU accounts for 18 % of world trade for goods and 26 % of world trade in services. This compares with 16 % and 19 % respectively, for the USA.
Evropska unija predstavlja 18 % svetovne trgovine z blagom in 26 % svetovne trgovine s storitvami, v primerjavi s 16 % oziroma 19 % za ZDA.
The EU’s share of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) inflows for the period 2002-2004 was 27 % of the world total; FDI outflows amounted to 32 %.
Delež EU v prilivu neposrednih tujih naložb je v obdobju 2002–2004 znašal 27 % skupnih svetovnih naložb, odliv neposrednih tujih naložb pa je znašal 32 %.
The European Union believes in the promotion of trade on the basis of fair rules that are negotiated by all countries concerned - i.e. “multilaterally”.
Evropska unija verjame v spodbujanje trgovine na podlagi poštenih pravil, o katerih se dogovorijo vse zadevne države, t.j v multilateralnem okviru.
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is the key to this approach and the successful completion of the WTO Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations is currently the main priority of EU trade policy.
Svetovna trgovinska organizacija (STO) je bistveni element tega pristopa, uspešen zaključek pogajanj v STO o razvojni agendi iz Dohe pa je sedaj glavna prednostna naloga trgovinske politike EU.
However, the EU also believes that trade policy must interact coherently with development policy to manage the various effects of globalisation and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Evropska unija prav tako verjame, da je treba zaradi obvladovanja različnih vplivov globalizacije in doseganja razvojnih ciljev tisočletja med trgovinsko politiko in razvojno politiko vzpostaviti skladno vzajemno delovanje.
The EU considers that trade policy in the 21st century is not just about tarireductions in trade in goods.
Evropska unija meni, da trgovinska politika 21. stoletja ne more biti omejena le na tarifna znižanja v trgovini z blagom.
Other crucial questions also need to be tackled. These include:
Treba se je lotiti tudi drugih ključnih vprašanj, med drugim na naslednjih področjih:
Article 133 of the EC Treaty sets the legal framework of the common commercial policy, establishing the principle of Community competence.
Člen 133 Pogodbe ES določa pravni okvir skupne trgovinske politike in vzpostavlja načelo pristojnosti Skupnosti.
According to this provision, the Commission negotiates bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, acting on the basis of a mandate given by the Council and in continuous consultation with Council bodies (the Article 133 Committee and other geographical working parties).
V skladu s to določbo se Komisija na podlagi mandata Sveta in v stalnem posvetovanju s telesi Sveta („odbor iz člena 133“ in druge geografske delovne skupine) pogaja za sklenitev dvostranskih in večstranskih trgovinskih sporazumov.
The Council must approve all agreements and authorise their signature and entry into force (by quali- ed majority or unanimity, depending on the scope and content of the agreement).
Svet vse sporazume odobri ter dovoli njihov trgovinske olajšave (tj. ukrepi za poenostavitev uvoznih, izvoznih in carinskih postopkov);
51 geographical indications and industrial property rights, such as trademarks and patents);
51 vključevanje storitev v pravila STO, da bodo lahko zainteresirane države med seboj prostovoljno liberalizirale trgovino s storitvami; vključujejo avtorske in sorodne pravice za literarna in umetniška dela ter geografske označbe in pravice industrijske lastnine, kot so blagovne znamke in patenti); konkurenca (tj. ukrepi, s katerimi bodo zagotovljeni nepristranskost, preglednost, procesne pravice in sodni nadzor na področju konkurence); naložbe (tj. ukrepi za izboljšanje poslovnega okolja z okrepitvijo pravne varnosti vlagateljev in znižanjem investicijskega tveganja); netrgovinski vidik (med drugim varstvo potrošnikov, npr. varnost hrane, označevanje živil in dobro počutje živali, ter družbene vrednote, npr. načelo, da pri kmetijstvu ne gre samo za proizvodnjo hrane, temveč tudi za razvoj podeželja, ohranjanje krajine in okolja oziroma t. i. večnamenskega kmetijstva).
The EU also believes that the environmental and social aspects of trade and globalisation must be dealt with in the appropriate place.
Evropska unija tudi meni, da je treba okoljske in družbene vidike trgovine in globalizacije obravnavati v ustreznem okviru.
Government procurement (contracts and purchases by governments represents a large part of the market (especially in certain sectors) but they are currently excluded from most WTO rules);
javna naročila (vladne pogodbe in naročila so pomemben del trga (zlasti v nekaterih sektorjih), vendar so trenutno izključeni iz večine pravil STO);
The EU is the largest trading partner for the world’s poorest countries as it has preferential trade agreements that eliminate duties and quotas in almost all cases.
Trgovina z državami v razvoju varstvo pravic intelektualne lastnine (ker EU pomembno prispeva k izumom in stvaritvam, se zavzema za mednarodno zaščito pravic ustvarjalcev in izumiteljev; te pravice
Protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) (since the EU is an important source of invention and design, it seeks to have international protection for rights granted to creators and inventors; these include copyright and similar rights for literary and artistic works, and also
Evropska unija je največja trgovinska partnerica najrevnejših držav, saj je z njimi sklenila preferencialne trgovinske sporazume, s katerimi se skoraj v vseh primerih odpravljajo dajatve in kvote.
Market opening: The EU has thus opened its market for poor countries.
Odpiranje trga: Evropska unija je tako odprla svoj trg za revne države.
In 2003 around 80 % of developing countries’ products entered the EU duty-free or at reduced rates of duty.
V letu 2003 je okoli 80 % proizvodov iz držav v razvoju vstopilo v EU brez dajatev ali po znižani stopnji dajatve.
The EU has the most open trade regime for Sub-Saharan Africa and the other African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
Evropska unija ima najbolj odprt trgovinski režim za podsaharsko Afriko in druge afriške, karibske in pacifiške države (AKP).
In 2003 ACP countries paid full duty on only three per cent of their exports to the EU.
V letu 2003 so države AKP plačale polno dajatev samo za 3 % svojega izvoza v EU.
The remaining 97 % entered the European market at zero duty or reduced rates of duty.
Tako je ostalih 97 % blaga na evropski trg vstopilo brez dajatev ali po znižani stopnji dajatve.
These preferential trade relations have a huge impact on the EU’s share of the developing world’s exports to the world.
Ti preferencialni trgovinski odnosi imajo velik vpliv na delež EU pri izvozu držav v razvoju na svetovni trg.

The Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs)
Sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu (SGP)
Developing countries: The EU gets 48 % of its total imports from developing countries and 65 % of its total agricultural imports come from the developing world.
Države v razvoju: 48 % celotnega uvoza in 65 % celotnega kmetijskega uvoza EU izvira iz držav v razvoju.
18.1 % of the developing countries’ exports to the world go to the EU and 17.5 % of their imports come from the EU.
18,1 % izvoza držav v razvoju na svetovni trg je namenjeno EU, 17,5 % njihovega uvoza pa izvira iz EU.
LDCs and ACP: The EU accounted for 22.2 % of the LDCs’ (Least Developed Countries) entire trade with the world and for 28.6 % of ACPs’ entire trade with the world in 2005, thus making the EU the biggest trading partner for both groups.
Najmanj razvite države in AKP: Evropska unija je v letu 2005 predstavljala 22,2 % celotne trgovine najmanj razvitih držav s svetom in 28,6 % celotne trgovine držav AKP s svetom, zaradi česar je EU največja trgovinska partnerica obeh skupin.
The EU represents 23.4 % of LDCs’ total exports to the world and 21.2 % of its total imports.
Evropska unija predstavlja 23,4 % skupnega izvoza najmanj razvitih držav na svetovni trg in 21,2 % njihovega skupnega uvoza.
26.7 % of the ACPs’ (including South Africa) exports go to the EU, and 30.4 % of its imports come from the EU.
26,7 % izvoza držav AKP (vključno z Južno Afriko) je namenjeno EU, 30,4 % njihovega uvoza pa izvira iz EU.
Of its overall trade with the world, the EU gets about 1.5 % of its total imports from LDCs and 4.5 % from ACP (including South Africa).
V okviru skupne blagovne menjave s svetom EU pridobi približno 1,5 % svojega skupnega uvoza iz najmanj razvitih držav in 4,5 % iz držav AKP (vključno z Južno Afriko).
All in all the share of the EU in the LDCs’ overall exports to the world (excluding energy) was 62 % (2004).
Gledano v celoti, je delež EU v skupnem izvozu (razen energije) najmanj razvitih držav na svetovni trg znašal 62 % (2004).
The relations between the EU and 78 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States are defined in the Cotonou Partnership Agreement, signed in 2000 as a successor to the Lomé Conventions, first signed in 1975.
Odnosi med EU in 78 afriškimi, karibskimi in pacifiškimi državami (AKP) so opredeljeni v Sporazumu o partnerstvu iz Cotonouja, podpisanem leta 2000; sporazum je nasledil konvencije iz Lomeja, katerih prva je bila podpisana leta 1975.
Under these treaties, ACP countries have enjoyed preferential trade relations with the EU.
Na podlagi teh pogodb so države AKP vzpostavile preferencialne trgovinske odnose z EU.
However, these trade preferences were not compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), because they were not reciprocal and they discriminated against other developing countries.
Vendar ti trgovinski preferenciali niso bili v skladu s pravili Svetovne trgovinske organizacije (STO), ker niso temeljili na vzajemnosti in so zapostavljali druge države v razvoju.
Moreover, these preferences did not help the ACP countries to achieve sustainable growth, diversify their economies, and increase their share of EU imports which, on the contrary, has increasingly shrunk as a consequence of progressive trade liberalisation taking place at multilateral level.
Poleg tega navedeni preferenciali niso pomagali državam AKP, da bi dosegle trajnostno rast, razvejale svoja gospodarstva in povečale svoje deleže pri uvozu EU; nasprotno, ti deleži so se vse bolj zmanjševali zaradi postopne liberalizacije trgovine na večstranski ravni.
Therefore, when signing the Cotonou

More and better aid
Večja in boljša pomoč
European aid comes from the EU budget and from the budgets of its 27 Members States.
Evropska pomoč izvira iz proračuna EU in proračunov 27 držav članic.
In 2006, it amounted to approximately EUR 48 billion. This is getting close to EUR 1 billion every week.
V letu 2006 je znašala približno 48 milijard EUR, kar predstavlja skoraj eno milijardo EUR na teden.
Agreement, the EU and ACP agreed to negotiate new arrangements, the EPAs, intended to progressively create free-trade ACP-EU areas through the gradual removal of barriers to trade and support the gradual integration of the ACP economies into the international trading system.
iz Cotonouja dogovorile, da bodo sklenile nove sporazume, tj. sporazume o gospodarskem partnerstvu (SGP), ki bodo s postopno odpravo trgovinskih ovir postopoma oblikovali prostotrgovinska območja med državami AKP in EU ter podpirali postopno vključevanje gospodarstev držav AKP v mednarodni trgovinski sistem.
In 2005, on the occasion of the United Nations review of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Council decided to increase EU aid in line with the recommendations of the United Nations.
Leta 2005 je Svet ob pregledu razvojnih ciljev tisočletja, ki so ga opravili Združeni narodi, sklenil, da v skladu s priporočili Združenih narodov poveča pomoč EU.
It pledged to increase the aid budget in order to achieve the target of 0.7 % of gross national income by 2015, with an intermediate collective target of 0.56 % by 2010.
Svet je obljubil povečati proračunska sredstva za pomoč, da bi tako do leta 2015 dosegli cilj 0,7 % bruto nacionalnega dohodka ter do leta 2010 vmesni skupni cilj v višini 0,56 %.
This means an additional EUR 20 billion per year from 2010.
To od leta 2010 pomeni dodatnih 20 milijard EUR na leto.
In 2006, the EU was ahead of its target for that year – the target was 0.39 % and the level reached was 0.43 %.
Leta 2006 je EU presegla svoj cilj za navedeno leto – cilj je znašal 0,39 %, dosežena raven pa 0,43 %.
In 2005, the Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament agreed on a an overall policy approach to development - the European Consensus.
Leta 2005 so se Svet, Evropska komisija in Evropski parlament dogovorili o splošnem političnem pristopu glede razvoja – evropskem soglasju.
This contains the main guiding principles for the action of the European Union and for its Member States.
Slednje vsebuje glavna vodilna načela za ukrepanje Evropske unije in njenih držav članic.
It highlights how different policy aspects must t together. It also emphasises that policies should be worked out and applied in partnership with developing countries.
V njem je poudarjen način usklajevanja različnih političnih vidikov in dejstvo, da je treba politike določati in izvajati v partnerstvu z državami v razvoju.
EPAs are conceived as instruments that promote regional integration and economic development in the ACP countries; they are based on the asymmetrical opening of markets and the provision of substantial financial resources to support economic policy reforms in the ACP States.
Sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu so zasnovani kot instrumenti za pospeševanje regionalnega povezovanja in gospodarskega razvoja držav AKP; temeljijo na asimetričnem odpiranju trgov in zagotavljanju precejšnjih finančnih sredstev v podporo reformam gospodarske politike v državah AKP.
They should cover trade in goods, services and trade related areas.
Zajemati bi morali trgovino z blagom, storitvami in s trgovino povezana področja.
In 2002, negotiations were launched with six regional groupings of ACP countries: the Caribbean, the Pacific and four African regions.
Leta 2002 so se začela pogajanja s šestimi regionalnimi združenji držav AKP: Karibi, Pacifikom in štirimi afriškimi regijami.
By the end of 2007, a comprehensive EPA had been agreed with the Caribbean.
Ob koncu leta 2007 je bil sklenjen celovit SGP s Karibi.
In the other regions interim arrangements, often limited to trade in goods, were agreed with all ACP countries having a major economic interest.
V drugih regijah so bili z vsemi državami AKP, ki imajo večji gospodarski interes, sklenjeni začasni sporazumi, pogosto omejeni na trgovino z blagom.
Negotiations will have to be pursued in order to conclude comprehensive EPAs in all regions in the shortest possible period.
Treba je nadaljevati pogajanja, da bi tako sklenili celovite SGP v vseh regijah in v najkrajšem možnem času.
54 aid on development targets, reduce poverty and minimise those “transaction costs” that have no impact on development.
Z izvajanjem kodeksa EU spodbuja obsežne razprave o dopolnjevanju in delitvi dela s partnerskimi državami in drugimi donatorji.
The accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 completed the fth enlargement of the European Union. It was an unprecedented (twelve new countries have joined) and successful process, that contributed greatly to peace, stability and prosperity throughout Europe by overcoming the divisions that the continent had experienced in the 20th Century.
Svet meni, da sta dopolnjevanje ukrepov donatorjev in boljša delitev dela med donatorji bistvenega pomena: na ta način se bo okrepila odgovornost partnerskih držav za ukrepe in njihova sposobnost prevzemanja odgovornosti za usklajevanje dejavnosti donatorjev.
From an economic point of view, the fth enlargement has created the conditions for the European economy to become stronger and more dynamic, and thus better equipped to face global competition.
Svet se strinja, da bi morala biti EU gonilna sila v teh globalnih prizadevanjih, ta pristop pa bi moral biti odprt vsem donatorjem.

S pristopom Bolgarije in Romunije 1. januarja 2007 se je zaključila peta širitev Evropske unije.
Currently, the Union is conducting accession negotiations with two candidate countries, Croatia and Turkey.
Unija trenutno vodi pristopna pogajanja z dvema državama kandidatkama – Hrvaško in Turčijo.
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has also been given the status of candidate country, but a decision on the opening of accession negotiations has not been taken yet.
Tudi Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija je dobila status države kandidatke, vendar odločitev o začetku pristopnih pogajanj še ni bila sprejeta.
Furthermore, the European Council has repeatedly stated that the future of the Western Balkans lies in the European Union, and therefore the other countries of this region can be seen as “potential” candidates.
Poleg tega je Evropski svet večkrat izjavil, da je prihodnost Zahodnega Balkana v Evropski uniji, zato se lahko druge države te regije obravnavajo kot „možne“ kandidatke.
The accession negotiations with Croatia and Turkey started in October 2005.
Pristopna pogajanja s Hrvaško in Turčijo so se začela oktobra 2005.
They are conducted in an Intergovernmental Conference (which meets either at Ministerial or at Deputy level), with the participation of all the EU Member States, on the one hand, and of the candidate State, on the other.
Potekajo v okviru medvladne konference (ki se sestaja na ravni ministrov ali njihovih namestnikov), v njih pa sodelujejo vse države članice EU in zadevna država kandidatka.

PODPORA RASTI IN ZAPOSLOVANJU SVET IN EKONOMSKA POLITIKA
Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)
Ekonomska in monetarna unija (EMU)
Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is the framework for drawing up and implementing EU economic and monetary policy.
Ekonomska in monetarna unija (EMU) predstavlja okvir za oblikovanje in izvajanje ekonomske in monetarne politike EU.
All Member States are part of EMU, although two Member States, Denmark and the United Kingdom, have been granted derogations from the obligation to enter its “third stage”.
Vse države članice so del EMU, dvema državama članicama – Danski in Združenemu kraljestvu – pa je bilo odobreno odstopanje od obveznosti vstopa v „tretjo fazo“.
The most important implication of this derogation is that, unlike other Member States, Denmark and the United Kingdom do not have to adopt the euro as their currency.
Danski in Združenemu kraljestvu tako za razliko od drugih držav članic ni treba sprejeti eura za svojo valuto, kar je najpomembnejša posledica tega odstopanja.
The euro (€) has been the currency of EMU since 1999 and took the concrete form of notes and coins in 2001.
Od leta 1999 je euro (€) valuta EMU, v dejanski obliki bankovcev in kovancev pa obstaja od leta 2001.
Except for Denmark and the United Kingdom, all Member States must adopt the euro as their national currency, subject to fulfilling a number of convergence criteria.
Vse države članice, razen Danske in Združenega kraljestva, morajo sprejeti euro za svojo nacionalno valuto, pri čemer morajo izpolnjevati vrsto konvergenčnih meril.
So far fteen Member States have fulfilled the criteria and adopted the euro (eleven from the start, Greece from 2001, Slovenia from 2007, Cyprus and Malta from 2008).
Zaenkrat ta merila izpolnjuje petnajst držav članic, ki so prevzele euro (enajst od samega začetka, Grčija leta 2001, Slovenija leta 2007 ter Ciper in Malta leta 2008).
Most other Member States participate in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II) which restricts the exchange rate variations of their currencies against the euro.
Večina drugih držav članic sodeluje v evropskem mehanizmu deviznih tečajev (ERM II), ki omejuje nihanje deviznih tečajev njihovih valut v primerjavi z eurom.
The euro is also the national currency of the Vatican State, San Marino and Monaco (three countries that before the euro had monetary agreements with Italy and France on the use of the Italian lira and the French franc respectively as their legal tender).
Euro je tudi nacionalna valuta Vatikanske države, San Marina in Monaka (tri države, ki so pred sprejetjem eura sklenile monetarne sporazume z Italijo oziroma Francijo o uporabi italijanske lire oziroma francoskega franka kot zakonitega plačilnega sredstva).
Moreover, the euro is the de facto currency in Andorra, Montenegro and Kosovo.
Euro je poleg tega de facto plačilno sredstvo v Andori, Črni gori in na Kosovu.
No member of the EMU can conduct its economic policy in isolation; policies conducted by one Member State will have repercussions on the Union as a whole, and therefore also on other Member States.
Članice EMU svojih ekonomskih politik ne morejo voditi ločeno; politike, ki jih vodi posamezna država članica, bodo vplivale na Unijo kot celoto in s tem tudi na druge države članice.
