The European Commission at work
Evropska komisija na delu
Some 500 million people and 27 countries make up the European Union.
Evropsko unijo sestavlja 27 držav članic, v katerih živi skupaj okrog 500 milijonov ljudi.
Three main institutions steer the Union: the European Parliament (the voice of the people), the Council of the European Union (the voice of the Member States) and the European Commission (the executive body).
Vodijo jo tri najpomembnejše institucije: Evropski parlament (glas ljudstva), Svet Evropske unije (glas držav članic) in Evropska komisija (izvršilni organ).
The European Commission drafts proposals for new European laws, keeps an eye on how those laws are implemented and manages the EU budget.
Evropska komisija pripravlja predloge novih evropskih zakonov, spremlja njihovo izvajanje in upravlja proračun EU.
It is made up of 27 Commissioners — one from each EU country.
V njej je 27 komisarjev – iz vsake države EU po eden.
Every five years, a new College of Commissioners is appointed.
Vsakih pet let se imenuje nov kolegij komisarjev.
Their term in office coincides with the period for which the European Parliament is elected.
Njihov mandat ustreza obdobju, za katero se izvoli Evropski parlament.
The process starts with the President of the Commission.
Postopek se začne z izbiro predsednika Komisije.
The governments of the EU countries appoint a new president, who must then be confirmed by Parliament.
Vlade držav članic EU imenujejo novega predsednika, ki ga mora potrditi Parlament.
José Manuel Barroso is at the wheel of the EU executive for the period 2010 to 2014, following his term at the head of the 2004 to 2009 Commission.
V obdobju 2010–2014 bo na čelu izvršilnega organa EU José Manuel Barroso, ki je predtem že opravil mandat predsednika Komisije v letih 2004–2009.
The incoming president discusses potential Commissioner candidates with the national governments.
Novi predsednik opravi z nacionalnimi vladami razgovore o možnih kandidatih za komisarje.
When they have all been nominated, the President allocates portfolios among them and then they have to undergo several hours of hearings by members of the European Parliament.
Ko so vsi imenovani, predsednik mednje razdeli portfelje, potem pa jih čakajo nekajurna zaslišanja pred poslanci Evropskega parlamenta.
The parliamentarians then take a vote to either approve or reject the Commission as a whole.
Sledi glasovanje, s katerim parlamentarci potrdijo ali zavrnejo Komisijo kot celoto.
Another novelty in this Commission is the first ‘de facto’ EU Foreign Minister in the form of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who is in charge of the new External Action Service.
Novost nove Komisije je tudi prva de facto zunanja ministrica EU na položaju visoke predstavnice Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko, ki je pristojna za novo Evropsko službo za zunanje delovanje.
The High Representative is appointed by the European Council and is also one of seven Commission Vice-Presidents.
Visokega predstavnika imenuje Evropski svet in je hkrati eden od sedmih podpredsednikov Komisije.
The Lisbon Treaty specifies that the position combines the powers of the Commissioner for External Relations and the previous Common Foreign and Security Policy High Representative.
Lizbonska pogodba določa, da ta položaj združuje pooblastila komisarja za zunanje zadeve in prejšnjega visokega predstavnika za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko.
The Commissioners do not represent their home country’s government.
Komisarji ne zastopajo vlad svojih matičnih držav.
They are bound to act independently, solely in the interests of Europe.
Dolžni so ravnati neodvisno in izključno v interesu Evrope.
Each Commissioner is responsible for a specific policy area, ranging from environment to competition or trade.
Vsak komisar je pristojen za posamezno področje politike, od okolja do konkurence ali trgovine.
The Commissioner is in charge of one or several directorates-general and, in some cases, EU agencies.
Komisar je pristojen za enega ali več generalnih direktoratov, nekateri pa tudi za eno ali več agencij EU.
The new Lisbon Treaty makes many changes in the EU.
Lizbonska pogodba prinaša številne spremembe za EU.
First and foremost, however, the redesign of the Commission is intended to do one thing — something that has always been at the top of the Commission’s agenda: to help the EU tackle the challenges society is facing now and will face in the future.
Preoblikovanje Komisije je namenjeno predvsem izpolnitvi naloge, ki je že od nekdaj na vrhu dnevnega reda Komisije: pomagati EU pri obvladovanju težav, s katerimi se družba srečuje danes in s katerimi se bo srečevala tudi v prihodnje.
Compared to the previous term, the President has changed several portfolios for the 2010–14 Commission: the previous Environment portfolio has been split into two to become Environment and Climate Action; Innovation has been added to Science and Research; and Justice, Security and Home Affairs has been assigned to two Commissioners, one responsible for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship, the other focusing on Home Affairs.
Predsednik je v primerjavi s prejšnjim mandatom preoblikoval nekaj portfeljev za Komisijo 2010–2014: prejšnji portfelj okolja je zdaj razdeljen na dva, in sicer na okolje in podnebne ukrepe, inovacije so bile dodane portfelju za znanost in raziskave, portfelj pravosodja in notranjih zadev je bil dodeljen dvema komisarkama: ena je pristojna za pravosodje, temeljne pravice in državljanstvo, druga pa se osredotoča na notranje zadeve.
SETTING LONGTERM GOALS FOR THE EU
DOLOČANJE DOLGOROČNIH CILJEV ZA EVROPSKO UNIJO
The President of the European Commission sets the agenda and priorities for the European Commission and works together with the other 26 Commissioners to deliver on policy initiatives.
Predsednik Evropske komisije določa njen dnevni red in prednostne naloge ter z ostalimi 26 komisarji sodeluje pri uresničevanju pobud za oblikovanje politik.
He calls and chairs meetings between the Commissioners, and can assign responsibility for specific activities or set up working groups.
Sklicuje in vodi srečanja komisarjev, pri čemer jim lahko določi pristojnost za posebne dejavnosti ali ustanovi delovne skupine.
The President is a member of the European Council and he represents the European Union at international summits in all the Commission’s areas of competence.
Predsednik je član Evropskega sveta in na mednarodnih srečanjih na vrhu zastopa Evropsko unijo na vseh področjih v pristojnosti Komisije.
President Barroso was first elected in 2004.
Predsednik Barroso je bil prvič izvoljen leta 2004.
In his first term, he pushed for an agenda focused on economic reform.
V obdobju svojega prvega mandata si je prizadeval za program, osredotočen na gospodarske reforme.
He led ambitious policies on climate change, energy and better regulation.
Vodil je ambiciozno politiko na področjih podnebnih sprememb, energetike in boljše priprave zakonodaje.
It was also in this period that the European Union adopted and ratified the Treaty of Lisbon.
Poleg tega je v tem času Evropska unija sprejela in ratificirala Lizbonsko pogodbo.
Before becoming President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso was Prime Minister of Portugal.
Preden je zasedel mesto predsednika Evropske komisije, je bil José Manuel Barroso portugalski ministrski predsed- nik.
Mr Barroso has also held a number of ministerial posts, including home and foreign affairs.
Poleg tega je imel več ministrskih funkcij, med drugim je bil minister za notranje in zunanje zadeve.
Mr Barroso has also been active in academia, heading the international relations department of the University of Lusíada.
Kot vodja oddelka za mednarodne odnose Univerze Lusíada je bil dejaven tudi na akademskem področju.
He was born in Lisbon in 1956.
Rojen je bil v Lizboni leta 1956.
When he was reappointed in 2009, President Barroso set out a vision for the next 10 years, known as Europe 2020.
Ob ponovnem imenovanju leta 2009 je predsednik Barroso pripravil vizijo za naslednjih desetih let, znano pod imenom Evropa 2020.
This strategy charts a path out of the economic and financial crisis and urges the European Union to concentrate on three mutually reinforcing priorities: smart growth, sustainable growth and inclusive growth.
V tej strategiji je začrtana pot iz gospodarske in finančne krize.
President Barroso also wants to ensure that the Commission plays a full part in maintaining the EU’s position as an important player on the global stage.
Evropsko unijo poziva, naj se osredotoči na tri prednostne naloge, ki se medsebojno krepijo: pametno, trajnostno in vključujočo rast.
He believes that external relations should play a central role in how the EU approaches and achieves its internal policy goals.
Poleg tega želi predsed- nik Barroso zagotoviti, da bo Komisija v

PRIZADEVANJE ZA MIR, ZAŠČITO RANLJIVIH SKUPIN IN BOJ PROTI REVŠČINI
Vice-President High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Podpredsednica Visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko
Commissioner Ashton is the first to hold the position of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, as created by the Treaty of Lisbon. This makes her responsible for the EU’s external relations and its security and defence policies.
Poleg tega je komisarka Ashton osredotočena tudi na različna vprašanja svetovnih razsežnosti, kot so neširjenje jedrskega orožja, boj proti terorizmu, človekove pravice, energetika in podnebne spremembe.
She is Vice-President of the European Commission and head of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the diplomatic corps that oversees the EU’s huge aid and humanitarian budget, as well as relations with countries around the world.
Med prednostnimi nalogami je tudi krepitev operacij za krizno upravljanje, da se zagotovijo ustrezno osebje, oprema in vodenje.
The EEAS comprises 130 ‘EU delegations’ — comparable to embassies — and brings together the EU’s international political, economic and military engagements.
Komisarka Ashton je kot prva zasedla mesto visokega predstavnika Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko, ki ga je uvedla Lizbonska pogodba.
As head of the service, Commissioner Ashton’s main priority is to ensure that the EU is active and operational on global issues.
Pristojna je za zunanje odnose EU ter njeno varnostno in obrambno politiko.
However, she does not expect the EU to act alone and values an effective partnership with NATO and the EU’s global partners.
Je podpredsednica Evropske komisije in vodja Evropske službe za zunanje delovanje (ESZD), diplomatskega zbora, ki nadzoruje izredno velik proračun EU za pomoč in humanitarne dejavnosti ter odnose z državami po vsem svetu.
Born in Upholland, United Kingdom, in 1956, Catherine Ashton held ministerial posts in several British government departments between 2001 and 2008.
Catherine Ashton, rojena leta 1956 v kraju Upholland v Združenem kraljestvu, je v obdobju 2001–2008 zasedala ministrska mesta v različnih sektorjih.
In 2007, Commissioner Ashton was Leader of the House of Lords.
Leta 2007 je bila predsednica lordske zbornice.
She joined the European Commission in 2008, as Commissioner for Trade.
Evropski komisiji se je pridružila leta 2008, in sicer kot komisarka za trgovino.
Commissioner Ashton is also focused on various matters of global concern, such as non-proliferation, counterterrorism, human rights, energy and climate change.
Glavna prednostna naloga komisarke Ashton v vlogi vodje te službe je zagotoviti dejavnost in operativnost EU v zvezi z mednarodnimi vprašanji.
Another priority is to strengthen the EU’s crisis-management operations, ensuring missions are well staffed, well equipped and well led.
Vendar ne pričakuje, da bo EU delovala sama, in ceni učinkovit partnerski odnos z Natom in svetovnimi partnerji EU.
Vice-President Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship
NOVO OBDOBJE ZA PRAVOSODJE IN TEMELJNE PRAVICE V EVROPI
The 2010–14 European Commission is the f i first to have a Commissioner for Justice, legal documents.
Podpredsednica Pravosodje, temeljne pravice in državljanstvo
Fundamental Rights and Citizenship — policies where citizens expect the most from Europe.
Evropska komisija 2010–2014 je prva, v kateri je tudi komisar za pravosodje, temeljne pravice in državljanstvo – se pravi politike, pri katerih državljani od Evrope pričakujejo največ.
The Lisbon Treaty revolutionises policymaking in these areas by making the European Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding and by putting citizens at the heart of all Union policies.
Lizbonska pogodba na teh področjih prinaša revolucionarne spremembe, saj je Listina Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah z njo postala pravno zavezujoča, državljane pa je umestila v središče vseh politik Unije.
Finally, Commissioner Reding also plans to strengthen gender equality in all fields of EU policy.
Poleg navedenega namerava komisarka Reding okrepiti enakost spolov na vseh področjih politik EU.
Reducing the gender pay gap, increasing the number of women in decision-making, and combating violence against women are her main priorities in this area.
Tu bodo njene prednostne naloge zmanjšanje razlik v plačilu med spoloma, povečanje števila žensk pri postopkih odločanja in boj proti nasilju nad ženskami.
Viviane Reding’s priority is to develop a truly European area of justice where citizens, consumers and businesses can rely on their right to free movement within the EU.
Prednostna naloga Viviane Reding je oblikovati resnično evropsko območje, na katerem se bodo državljani, potrošniki in podjetja lahko zanašali na pravico do prostega pretoka znotraj EU.
The Commissioner plans to build a coherent European contract and consumer law, elaborate measures for resolving cross-border family law issues and strengthen European criminal law for cross-border crimes.
Komisarka namerava vzpostaviti usklajeno evropsko pogodbeno pravo in pravo varstva potrošnikov, pripraviti ukrepe za reševanje čezmejnih vprašanj družinskega prava ter okrepiti evropsko kazensko pravo za čezmejna kazniva dejanja.
As the guardian of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, Viviane Reding will make sure that the Charter becomes the compass for all EU policies and will apply a zero-tolerance policy towards Member States that violate it.
Viviane Reding bo kot varuhinja Listine Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah poskrbela, da bo ta postala kompas vseh politik EU, in bo v primeru kršitev proti državam članicam ukrepala po načelu ničelne tolerance.
Education, Culture, Youth, Media and Sport was her first portfolio (1999 to 2004), followed by Information Society and Media (2004 to 2009).
Njen prvi portfelj je bil izobraževanje, kultura, mediji in šport (1999–2004), drugi pa informacijska družba in mediji (2004–2009).
But Viviane Reding’s work in European politics began even earlier: between 1989 and 1999 she held a seat in the European Parliament.
Vendar to ni bil začetek njene poti v evropski politiki: od 1989 do 1999 je bila poslanka Evropskega parlamenta.
Commissioner Reding is also taking the lead in promoting EU citizenship.
Komisarka Reding poleg tega prevzema vodilno vlogo pri promoviranju državljanstva EU.
This involves ensuring a high level of data privacy, improving consular protection abroad and improving mutual recognition of national
Za to je treba zagotoviti visoko raven zasebnosti podatkov, izboljšati konzularno zaščito v tujini in izboljšati medsebojno priznavanje nacionalnih
ECONOMIC GROWTH BASED ON OPEN AND COMPETITIVE MARKETS
GOSPODARSKA RAST NA OSNOVI ODPRTIH IN KONKURENČNIH TRGOV
Fair competition within the European Union benefits both European businesses and consumers.
Poštena konkurenca znotraj Evropske unije koristi tako evropskim podjetjem kot potrošnikom.
The Competition Commissioner is tasked with securing the right balance between the two and making sure that neither companies nor Member State governments break the rules.
Naloga komisarja za konkurenco je zagotoviti pravo ravnovesje med enimi in drugimi ter zagotoviti, da podjetja in države članice ne kršijo pravil.
JO to phase out the temporary measures that were set up to stabilise the financial sector; and to help companies through the crisis.
JO banke iz primeža gospodarske krize izvile popolnoma operativne, postopoma odpraviti začasne ukrepe, sprejete za stabilizacijo finančnega sektorja, in pomagati podjetjem poiskati pot iz krize.
When things have improved in these areas, he would like to modernise the state aid guidelines in areas such as research and development, environmental protection and risk capital.
Po izboljšanju stanja na teh področjih želi posodobiti smernice glede državne pomoči na področjih, kot so raziskave in razvoj, varstvo okolja in tvegani kapital.
This should boost green and socially inclusive growth that is based on knowledge, skills and innovation.
To bi moralo spodbuditi zeleno in socialno vključujočo rast, ki bo temeljila na znanju, usposobljenosti in inovacijah.
In all economy-related policy areas, there is one huge challenge that no one can currently avoid: overcoming the economic crisis.
Na nobenem področju politik, ki je povezano z gospodarstvom, se trenutno ni mogoče izogniti istemu velikemu izzivu: kako premagati gospodarsko krizo.
Commissioner Almunia has vowed to play his role, stressing the importance of competition policy to help Europe recover from the downturn better equipped for balanced and sustainable growth.
Komisar Almunia se je zavezal, da bo izpolnjeval svoje naloge, ter ob tem poudaril pomen politike konkurence, ki lahko pripomore, da bo Evropa bolje pripravljena na uravnoteženo in trajnostno rast, ko si bo opomogla od gospodarskega upada.
The Commissioner has promised to crack down on companies and governments that do not abide by European competition rules: anti-competitive agreements between competitors, abusive behaviour of dominant companies and distortion of competition by means of unlawful subsidies will have no place in the Union.
Komisar je obljubil, da bo strogo ukrepal proti podjetjem in vladam, ki ne spoštujejo evropskih pravil o konkurenci. V Uniji ne bo prostora za protikonkurenčne dogovore med konkurenti, zlorabo prevladujočega položaja podjetij ali izkrivljanje konkurence z dodeljevanjem nezakonitih subvencij.
