EU n u l l combination of flexible hiring and firing rules (flexibility for employers) and high benefits for the unemployed (security for the employees).
Model je kombinacija prožnih pravil zaposlovanja in odpuščanja (prožnost za delodajalce) in velikih koristi za brezposelne (varnost za delavce).
It does not mean encouraging job insecurity – people working in a series of short-term or temporary jobs, for example.
Eden od dosežkov EU je, da so delojemalci in delodajalci dobili priložnost zaposlovanja onkraj nacionalnih meja.
It is rather about creating a broader employment context where job mobility, and especially upward mobility to jobs with higher pay and better working conditions, forms part of a normal career pattern.
Vendar prvi korak pri tem ni nujno lahek. V Erfurtu v Nemčiji je bil s pomočjo skladov EU ustanovljen Evropski center za poklicno pot (ECC), v katerem lahko mladi iz te regije z visoko stopnjo brezposelnosti dobijo nasvet, kako poiskati delo drugje.
However successful the EU is at creating jobs and growth, there will always be some people who will need a safety net – not just through education and retraining, but through policies aimed at reducing poverty and social exclusion supported by social benefits.
Center tesno sodeluje z evropskim portalom za poklicno mobilnost EURES, ki povezuje zavode za zaposlovanje v vseh državah članicah EU in nekaterih drugih državah. V okviru portala EURES mreža svetovalcev z osebnim stikom obvešča delojemalce in delodajalce ter jim svetuje.
AND other so-called greenhouse gases, is one of the greatest threats to our planet.
IN A ga dioksida in drugih toplogrednih plinov, so ena izmed največjih nevarnosti za naš planet.
The emissions from energy use and transport which are the main causes of climate change are not being cut back fast enough.
Izpusti, ki jih povzročata poraba energije in promet, glavna vzroka podnebnih sprememb, se ne zmanjšujejo dovolj hitro.
Back in 1999, it was estimated that EU exports of greener goods – from fabrics made of hemp to wind turbines – would increase at best from 8.5billion euro in 1998 to 22 billion euro in 2010.
Leta 1999 je bilo ocenjeno, da bi izvoz bolj zelenega blaga – od tkanin, izdelanih iz konoplje, do vetrnih turbin – v najboljšem primeru narasel z 8,5 milijarde EUR leta 1998 na 22 milijard EUR leta 2010.
This level was already achieved in 2004.
Ta raven je bila dosežena že leta 2004.
European eco-industries are a sig-nifi cant and rapidly growing part of the EU economy, representing 2.1% of GDP.
EU si je zastavila zelo zahtevne cilje za zmanjšanje izpustov, pridobivanje več električne energije iz obnovljivih virov in uporabo bolj trajnostnih biogoriv namesto bencina in plina, pod pogojem, da bodo na voljo trajnostna biogoriva iz poljščin, ki niso namenjene za prehrano.
They are expanding at 5% a year, well above the growth rate for the economy as a whole.
Evropska ekološka industrija je pomemben in hitro rastoč del gospodarstva EU, ki zajema 2,1 % BDP.
Including air pollution control, wastewater management, solid waste management, renewable energies and recycling, the EU’s eco-industries keep 3.5 million people busy in fulltime jobs.
Ekološka industrija EU zaposluje 3,5 milijona ljudi s polnim delovnim časom, kar vključuje nadzor onesnaževanja zraka, ravnanje z odpadno vodo, ravnanje s trdnimi odpadki, obnovljive vire energije in recikliranje.
Wind power installation is a particularly fast-growing sector.
Vetrna energija je posebej hitro rastoč sektor.
The potential of European business to eco-innovate is underestimated.

Evropska podjetja, vključena v ekološko industrijo, imajo trden položaj
EU leaders are committed to curbing emissions and using the EU’s global economic and political position to persuade other countries to do the same.
Možnosti evropskih podjetij za ekološke inovacije so podcenjene.
The EU has set itself very tough targets for cutting emissions, obtaining more electricity from renewable energies and using more sustainable biofuels instead of petrol and gas – provided that sustainable biofuels from non-food crops become available.
Dokazi kažejo, da jasni zakoni na okoljskem področju podjetja spodbujajo k uvajanju novih ekoloških izdelkov in okoljskih tehnologij, ki jim nato pomagajo zmanjšati stroške, in ne nasprotno.
f i fighting climate change will bring further advantages for European business through increased pressure to innovate even more.
Vodilna vloga, ki jo ima EU na svetu na področju boja proti podnebnim spremembam, bo prinesla nadaljnje prednosti evropskim podjetjem s še bolj okrepljenim pritiskom za spodbujanje inovacij.

Nizka inflacija je ključni element gospodarske stabilnosti.
When governments euro yet, but all EU countries have agreed on common parameters which create economic stability for all by running their economies on sound principles.
Kadar imajo vlade uravnotežene proračune in evra, so se vse države EU dogovorile o skupnih parametrih, ki ustvarjajo gospodarsko stabilnost za vse z vodenjem svojih gospodarstev na podlagi trdnih načel.
These include living within their means, or if they do go into debt, then not borrowing so much that debt repayments become a drag on the economy.
Ta vključujejo preživetje v okviru svojih možnosti, v primeru zadolžitev pa manj sposojanja, da odplačila dolga ne postanejo breme za gospodarstvo.
This would put an unacceptable squeeze on other areas of spending, such as infrastructure, social welfare and job creation.
To bi pomenilo nesprejemljiv pritisk za druga področja porabe, kot so infrastruktura, socialno varstvo in ustvarjanje delovnih mest.
The euro – one currency, many opportunities
Evro – ena valuta, številne možnosti
The euro is probably the EU’s most tangible achievement.The single currency is shared by 16 countries (2009), representing two thirds (over 350 million people) of the EU population.
Evro je verjetno najbolj očiten dosežek EU. Enotno valuto uporablja 16 držav (2009), kar pomeni dve tretjini (več kot 350 milijonov ljudi) prebivalstva EU.
They include Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Finland.
Mednje sodijo Belgija, Nemčija, Irska, Grčija, Španija, Francija, Italija, Ciper, Luksemburg, Malta, Nizozemska, Avstrija, Portugalska, Slovenija in Finska.
Slovakia uses the euro from 1 January 2009.
Slovaška uporablja evro od 1. januarja 2009.
Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom do not currently use the euro, while the countries that entered the EU in 2004 and 2007 are committed to adopting it when they are ready.
Danska, Švedska in Združeno kraljestvo trenutno ne uporabljajo evra, države, ki so se pridružile EU leta 2004 in 2007, pa so se zavezale, da ga bodo sprejele, ko bodo na to pripravljene.
At a very basic level, the euro brings the advantage of not needing to change money when travelling through much of the EU.
Na zelo osnovni ravni evro prinaša prednost, da ni treba menjati denarja na potovanju čez velik del EU.
For businesses operating in the euro area this means a significant saving.They do not need to protect themselves against sudden exchange rate swings, or incur costs of cross-border payments.
Za podjetja, ki poslujejo na območju evra, je to pomemben prihranek. Ni se jim treba zavarovati pred nenadnimi nihanji obrestne mere ali pokrivati stroškov čezmejnih plačil.
For individual consumers, the euro makes it much easier to compare prices – and buy across borders, particularly online.
Posameznim potrošnikom evro omogoča lažjo primerjavo cen in čezmejne nakupe, zlasti spletne.
This price transparency is good for competition as it keeps a downward pressure on prices in the euro area.
Ta preglednost cen je dobra za konkurenčnost, saj negativno pritiska na cene na območju evra.
The euro has become an attractive international currency.Tourists can increasingly travel all over the world with euros in their pockets and businesses trade with it beyond the countries having adopted it as their currency.
Turisti lahko vse bolj potujejo po vsem svetu z evri v žepu, podjetja pa z njim poslujejo tudi zunaj držav, ki so ga sprejele za svojo valuto.
The euro helps to keep prices under control
Evro spodbuja trgovino.
The euro boosts trade.The EU countries using it have become the largest trading power in the world.
Države EU, ki ga uporabljajo, so postale največja trgovinska sila na svetu.
By 2006, they accounted for over 13% of world trade, which is slightly more than the United States.
Do leta 2006 so zastopale več kot 13 % svetovne trgovine, kar je malo več kot Združene države.
The single currency has meant increased growth and more jobs.
Enotna valuta pomeni večjo rast in več delovnih mest. Zagotovila je najnižje obrestne mere doslej.
Looking at the economy as a whole in the euro area, average inflation has fallen from 9.3% in the 1970s and 7.5% in the 1980s to 2.1% on average since 1999.
Če upoštevamo gospodarstvo na območju evra kot celoto, je povprečna stopnja inflacije padla z 9,3 % v sedemdesetih in 7,5 % v osemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja na povprečno 2,1 % od leta 1999.
The euro also protects consumers against a deeper impact of what happens in the rest of the world, for example escalating oil prices.
Evro varuje tudi potrošnike pred globljimi posledicami dogajanja v preostalem svetu, na primer pred naraščajočimi cenami nafte.
The price of oil has increased nearly five times in dollars in the last five years, while the price increase in euro is nowhere near this figure.
V zadnjih petih letih se je cena nafte v dolarjih skoraj petkrat zvišala, medtem ko je dvig cene v evrih daleč od te številke.
The same goes for recent increases in international food prices.
Enako velja za nedavna povišanja mednarodnih cen hrane.
The target of a low inflation about 2% has been achieved in all the years the euro has existed, but in 2008 prices rose higher due to increased world prices on oil and food.
Stopnja zaposlenosti v EU je z 62,5 % v letu 2001 narastla na 65,4 % v letu 2007 in bo po pričakovanjih narasla na približno 67 % v letu 2008.
have balanced budgets and low levels of debt, this contributes to low inflation, as they do not need to borrow money.
V zadnjih letih se je brezposelnost precej zmanjšala in bo po pričakovanjih nekaj manj kot 7 % v letu 2008.
This lessens the upward pressure on the price of money, i.e. interest rates.
Zaradi velikih podražitev nafte, energije in hrane bo inflacija v letu 2008 verjetno narasla na približno 3,6 %.
Low interest rates generally reflect low inflation. ation.
Leta 2009 se bo po pričakovanjih spet znižala na precej nižje stopnje – srednjeročno gledano, bližje 2-odstotnemu cilju Evropske centralne banke.
The euro is good for jobs
Pogled v prihodnost
The EU has already had considerable success in creating jobs in recent years through a partnership between the European Commission and national governments in promoting structural reforms in labour markets, and through its policies promoting growth and competitiveness.
EU je bila zelo uspešna pri ustvarjanju delovnih mest v zadnjih letih, in sicer s partnerstvom med Evropsko komisijo in nacionalnimi vladami pri spodbujanju strukturnih reform na trgih dela ter s svojimi politikami, ki spodbujajo rast in konkurenčnost.
In the early part of the decade, the number of people in jobs appeared to be stuck at around 63% compared with a target of 70% by 2010.
Na začetku desetletja se je zdelo, da je število zaposlenih oseb obtičalo na približno 63 % v primerjavi s ciljem 70 % do leta 2010.
However, progress has been made in recent years and the figure has gone up to around 66%. %.
V zadnjih letih pa je bil dosežen napredek in zadevni delež je narasel na približno 66 %.
The European Central Bank, the banker to the EU’s commercial banks, plays a crucial role in keeping inflation low in the 16 countries using the euro (2009).
Evropska centralna banka, bankir poslovnih bank EU, igra ključno vlogo pri ohranjanju inflacije na nizki ravni v 16 državah, ki uporabljajo evro (2009).
It sets the rate at which banks can borrow money from it at a level designed to keep the average rate of inflation in these countries at below, but close to, 2% over time.
Določa obrestno mero, po kateri si lahko banke od nje izposodijo denar po stopnji, ki je bila zasnovana za ohranjanje povprečne stopnje inflacije v teh državah pod 2 %, a blizu tej vrednosti.
The central banks of other EU countries set their own interest rates, but the framework of EMU means that inflation should never vary greatly from one country to another.
Centralne banke drugih držav EU določijo svoje obrestne mere, vendar okvir EMU pomeni, da naj bi med državami ne bilo prevelikih razlik v stopnji inflacije.
Since it was launched in 1999, the euro has steadily gained in credibility in world financial markets, which were in some cases inclined to write it off as an ‘experiment’ in the very early days.
Od uvedbe leta 1999 je evro nenehno krepil svojo verodostojnost na svetovnih finančnih trgih, ki so se v nekaterih primerih nagibali k temu, da ga v začetnih fazah odpišejo kot „poskus“.
This gain in credibility has also helped businesses, since they can now do business in the euro across the world.
Pridobljena verodostojnost je pomagala tudi podjetjem, saj lahko sedaj poslujejo v evrih po vsem svetu.
The euro has also been good for jobs and growth: since 1999, some 16 million jobs have been created in the euro area (the EU countries using the euro).
Evro koristi tudi delovnim mestom in rasti: od leta 1999 je bilo ustvarjenih približno 16 milijonov delovnih mest na območju evra (v državah EU, ki uporabljajo evro).
Some 7.5 million jobs were created in the EU in 2006–07 alone.
Samo v letih 2006–2007 je bilo v EU ustvarjenih približno 7,5 milijona delovnih mest.
Unemployment has been brought down to levels largely unknown for two decades, and the job market has become more resistant to economic downturns, with the number of jobs nonetheless actually continuing to grow.
Brezposelnost se je znižala na stopnje, ki so bile v zadnjih dveh desetletjih večinoma neznane, in trg dela je postal odpornejši na gospodarske recesije, navkljub katerim se število delovnih mest še povečuje.
The EU growth and jobs strategy cannot take all the credit for this.
Vseh zaslug za to ni mogoče pripisati strategiji EU za rast in delovna mesta.
The EU countries would have introduced many reforms come what may.
Države EU bi v vsakem primeru uvedle številne reforme.
Nevertheless, there is evidence that the coordinated approach has made an important contribution.
Kljub temu obstajajo dokazi, da je usklajen pristop k temu pomembno prispeval.

The threat and the challenge
Od leta 1850, prvega datuma doslednih in natančnih meritev, se je povišala za 0,76 °C.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing the planet.
Če ne bomo ukrepali, se bo po mnenju mednarodnega foruma znanstvenikov, ki so ga sklicali Združeni narodi (ZN), v tem stoletju verjetno povišala za nadaljnjih 1,8–4,0 °C, mogoče pa celo za 6,4 °C.
If the Earth’s temperature rises by morethan 2°C above preindustrial levels,climate change is likely to becomeirreversible and the long-term consequences could be immense.
Pričel se je boj za preprečitev povišanja temperature za 2 °C, kar se obravnava kot kritična točka.
Lowlying areas of the Earth, includinglarge parts of many European countries, could eventually disappearunder the rising sea levels. Moreover,in many parts of the world therewould not be enough fresh water togo round.
Ta boj bomo najverjetneje izgubili, če se globalne emisije najpozneje do okrog leta 2020 ne stabilizirajo in do leta 2050 zmanjšajo na približno polovico ravni iz leta 1990.
The Earth’s average temperature waslargely stable for 10 000 years untilthe Industrial Revolution.
Podnebne spremembe so ena izmed največjih groženj, s katerimi se sooča naš planet.
Since1850, the first date from which thereis consistent accurate measurement,it has risen by 0.76°C. Unless we act,it is likely to rise by a further1.8–4.0°C this century and possiblyby as much as 6.4°C, according toan international panel of scientistsconvened by the United Nations(UN).
Če bo povišanje temperature Zemlje preseglo ravni iz predindustrijske dobe za več kot 2 °C, bodo podnebne spremembe verjetno postale nepopravljive, dolgoročne posledice pa bi lahko bile ogromne.
The race is on to prevent theworld reaching what is believed tobe the tipping point, a 2°C increase.It will mostlikely be lost if globalemissions arenot stabilised byaround 2020 at the latest and thencut toaround half of their 1990levelsby 2050.
Nižinska območja na Zemlji, vključno z velikimi območji v številnih evropskih državah, bi lahko sčasoma izginila pod naraščajočo gladino morja. Poleg tega v številnih predelih sveta ne bi bilo več dovolj sladke vode.
Withmoreextremes ofclimate, it is not just Venice that will have toupgrade its flooddefences.
Ob pogostejših ekstremnih razmerah obramb pred poplavami ne bo treba izboljšati samo v Benetkah.
Why the climate is changing
Zakaj se podnebje spreminja
The atmosphere contains water vapour, carbon dioxide and other naturally occurring gases thatlet in sunlight but absorb the heat that is radiated back off the Earth.
Ozračje sestavljajo vodni hlapi, ogljikov dioksid in drugi naravni plini, ki prepuščajo sončno svetlobo, vendar absorbirajo toploto, ki se odseva nazaj z Zemlje.
This natural process, calledthe ‘greenhouse effect’, keeps the Earth’s temperature at a level that supports life.
Ta naravni proces, ki se imenuje „učinek tople grede“, ohranja temperaturo Zemlje na ravni, ki je potrebna za življenje na njej.
Without it,the global average temperature would be an unbearable –18°C.
Brez nje bi povprečna temperatura Zemlje znašala neznosnih –18 °C.
However, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of forests tomake farmland are increasing the levels of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in theatmosphere.
Vendar pa človeške dejavnosti, kot sta kurjenje fosilnih goriv in uničevanje gozdov za pridobitev kmetijskih zemljišč, zvišujejo ravni ogljikovega dioksida in drugih plinov v ozračju, ki absorbirajo toploto.
The addition of these ‘greenhouse’ gases is enhancing the natural greenhouseeffect, making the Earth warmer and changing the climate.
Dodatek teh „toplogrednih“ plinov povečuje naravni učinek tople grede, zaradi česar se Zemlja segreva, podnebje pa spreminja.
The solution lies in reducing global emissions of the greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide.
Rešitev je zniževanje globalnih emisij toplogrednih plinov, zlasti ogljikovega dioksida.
This means making better use of natural resources.
To pomeni boljšo uporabo naravnih virov.
Fossil fuels — oil, gas and coal for electricity, heating, cooling and transport — are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Fosilna goriva, kot so nafta, plin in premog za pridobivanje električne energije, ogrevanje, hlajenje in promet, so glavni viri emisij toplogrednih plinov.
We needtoburnless of them and burnthem more efficiently.
Uporabljati jih moramo v manjših količinah in učinkoviteje.
At the same time, it is important to prevent carbon dioxide escaping into the atmosphere, for example by ‘capturing’ it as it is produced,and then storing it underground in depleted gas fields or salt caverns.
Hkrati je pomembno preprečiti sproščanje ogljikovega dioksida v ozračje, na primer tako, da se „ujame“ že pri nastanku, nato pa shrani pod zemljo v izčrpanih plinskih poljih ali rudnikih soli.
Reversing deforestation, particularly the disappearance of tropical forests, which act as carbon‘sinks’ that absorb carbon dioxide, is also essential for tackling climate change.
Zaustavitev krčenja gozdov, zlasti izginjanja tropskih gozdov, ki delujejo kot „odtoki“ za ogljik, saj absorbirajo ogljikov dioksid, je bistvenega pomena za reševanje podnebnih sprememb.
Forests soak upcarbon dioxide when they are growing but give it off when they are cut down.
Gozdovi med rastjo vsrkavajo ogljikov dioksid, pri izsekavanju pa ga sproščajo.
There are other contributors to global warming, such as the methane emitted by disposing ofwastein landfill sites or the emissions caused by excessive fertiliser use, but fossil fuel use anddeforestation are the main culprits.
H globalnemu segrevanju prispeva tudi nekaj drugih dejavnikov, kot je metan, ki se sprošča z odlaganjem odpadkov na odlagališčih, ali emisije, ki nastanejo pri prekomerni uporabi gnojil, vendar sta glavna krivca uporaba fosilnih goriv in krčenje gozdov.
mep-2nov07.qxd 11/15/07 3:17 PM Page 5
Pot naprej: celovit odziv
The way forward for the EU is an integrated energy and climate changepolicy, as the burning of fossil fuelsis a major contributor to climatechange.
Pot naprej za EU je celovita politika na področju energije in podnebnih sprememb, saj ima izgorevanje fosilnih goriv največji vpliv na podnebne spremembe.
EU leaders endorsed such apolicy in March 2007.
Voditelji EU so takšno politiko podprli marca 2007.
This demonstrates Europe’s global leadership intackling climate change whilepaving the way for the EU toincrease its security of supply andstrengthen its competitiveness.
To kaže na vodilno vlogo Evrope v svetu pri reševanju podnebnih sprememb, ob prizadevanju EU, da bi povečala svojo varnost oskrbe in okrepila svojo konkurenčnost.
As a firststep, it considers that industrialisedcountries should collectively cut theiremissions of greenhouse gases to30% below 1990 levels by 2020.Developing countries, such as Chinaand India, will also need to start limiting the growth in their emissions.
leta 1990. EU si za dosego teh ciljev prizadeva za sklenitev novega svetovnega sporazuma.
An integrated energy and climatechange policy signals the launch of anewindustrial revolution to trans-formthe way we produce and useenergy, and the types of energy weuse.
Prvi korak bi moralo po njenem mnenju biti skupno zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov v industrializiranih državah do leta 2020, in sicer na 30 % nižjo raven od ravni iz leta 1990.
The goal is tomovetoaclimate-friendly economy based on a combination of low-carbon technologiesand energy sources.
Države v razvoju, kot sta Kitajska in Indija, bodo prav tako morale začeti omejevati zviševanje svojih emisij.
