General political and economic framework
Splošni politični in gospodarski okvir
Improving the regulatory environment
Boljše oblikovanje predpisov
Improving the quality of European legislation is an essential element of the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs, because a simpler, more modern regulatory environment helps to produce tangible benefits for the general public and for businesses.
Povečanje kakovosti evropske zakonodaje je bistveni element lizbonske strategije za rast in delovna mesta, saj bi preprostejše in sodobnejše zakonodajno okolje pomenilo znaten napredek za državljane in podjetja.
The priorities for action by the European Union, as defined by the Commission, are to implement the programme to simplify and modernise existing legislation, to reduce the administrative burden, to monitor the quality of impact analyses in order to improve the drafting of new regulatory acts, and to improve compliance with Community law.
Prednostni ukrepi Unije, ki jih je v tem okviru opredelila Komisija, so izvajanje programa poenostavitve in posodobitve obstoječe zakonodaje, zmanjšanje upravnih bremen, spremljanje kakovosti ocen učinka za boljše oblikovanje novih zakonodajnih aktov ter krepitev upoštevanja zakonodaje Skupnosti.
Better regulation is an ongoing process that will require changes in institutional and administrative structures.
Izboljšanje oblikovanja zakonodaje je neprekinjen postopek, ki bo zahteval prilagoditev institucionalnih in upravnih struktur.
It is a shared responsibility that calls for close cooperation with the other European institutions, the Member States and the local and regional authorities.
Odgovornost zanj je skupna in zahteva tesno sodelovanje drugih evropskih institucij, držav članic ter lokalnih in regionalnih organov.
In 2007, in a joint declaration complementing the interinstitutional agreement on better lawmaking, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission undertook to respect the principles of transparency, accountability and efficiency, in particular via the co-decision procedure.
Evropski parlament, Svet in Komisija so se leta 2007 v skupni deklaraciji, ki dopolnjuje medinstitucionalni sporazum za boljšo pripravo zakonodaje, zavezali k spoštovanju načel preglednosti, odgovornosti in učinkovitosti, zlasti z uporabo postopka soodločanja.
The second strategic review of better regulation in the European Union (1

), presented by the Commission on 30 January, found that the action taken under this programme had contributed to significant improvements.
), ki ga je Komisija predstavila 30. januarja, je pokazal, da je bilo ukrepanje v okviru tega programa zelo uspešno.
GENERAL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK
SPLOšNI POLItIčNI IN gOSPODaRSKI OKVIR
The Commission made it clear in this review that better regulation does not mean deregulation or delaying the adoption of new European rules when they are necessary, but ensuring that strategic and regulatory proposals are systematically evaluated and that a wide range of options — both regulatory and non-regulatory — are studied for each initiative.
Komisija v pregledu poudarja, da boljša pravna ureditev ne pomeni deregulacije ali ovir pri sprejetju novih evropskih predpisov, kadar so ti potrebni, vendar se strateški in zakonodajni predlogi zdaj ocenjujejo sistematično, za vsako posamezno pobudo pa se prouči širok spekter zakonodajnih in nezakonodajnih možnosti.
Under this initiative, existing legislation is simplified and codified and increasing use is made of recasting (by the end of 2008 some 135 codifications included in the major project to codify the acquis, relaunched in 2006, had been adopted and published, and approximately 50 recasts were adopted in the course of the year).
V tem okviru se obstoječa zakonodaja poenostavlja in kodificira, vse pogosteje pa se uporablja preoblikovanje zakonodaje (ob koncu leta 2008 je bilo v obsežnem načrtu kodifikacije pravnega reda Skupnosti, ki se je ponovno začel leta 2006, sprejetih in objavljenih približno 13 kodificiranih aktov, med letom pa je bilo sprejetih približno petdeset preoblikovanih aktov).
In addition, concerted efforts are made to reduce the administrative burden of legislation.
Poleg tega se s skupnimi prizadevanji poskušajo zmanjšati upravne obremenitve, ki jih ustvarja zakonodaja.
Pending proposals are screened and withdrawn if they are no longer relevant or consistent with Commission priorities.
Predlogi v obravnavi se pregledajo in umaknejo, če ne ustrezajo več ali niso skladni s prednostnimi nalogami Komisije.
A new, more effective strategy is currently being devised in partnership with the Member States to overcome the problems of implementing Community law and ensuring compliance.
V sodelovanju z državami članicami se razvija učinkovitejši pristop za obravnavanje težav pri izvajanju in zagotavljanju skladnosti z zakonodajo Skupnosti.
Finally, more than 600 lapsed or obsolete pieces of legislation were proposed for repeal or removal from the directory of legislation in force in 2008.
V letu 2008 je bilo več kot šeststo zastarelih zakonodajnih besedil predlaganih za razveljavitev ali umik s seznama veljavnih aktov.
The review also contains proposals for further action, including in-depth analysis of the European Union acquis, completion of the exercise of measuring the cost of the information requirements imposed on companies, and improving impact assessment in the policy preparation process (revision of the guidelines on impact assessment, strengthening the role of the Impact Assessment Board and review of the common approach to impact assessment agreed by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission).
Komisija predlaga tudi ukrepe za nadaljevanje postopka, kot so podrobni pregled pravnega reda Evropske unije, merjenje stroškov podjetij, ki izvirajo iz obveznega zagotavljanja informacij, utrditev vloge ocene učinka v političnem procesu (pregled smernic za oceno učinka, okrepitev vloge odbora za oceno učinka in pregled skupnega pristopa k oceni učinka, o katerem so se dogovorili Evropski parlament, Svet in Komisija).
In its conclusions of 3 march and 29 and 30 may the Council welcomed the second strategic review of better regulation initiatives.
Svet je v sklepih z dne 3. marca ter 29. in 30. maja z zadovoljstvom sprejel ta drugi strateški pregled pobud za boljšo pravno ureditev.
In its view, these efforts should result in legislation that cuts excessive costs to businesses and makes it possible to achieve the policy objectives more effectively.
Svet meni, da bi morala ta prizadevanja pripeljati do zakonodaje, ki bi zmanjšala presežne stroške podjetij in omogočila večjo učinkovitost pri uresničevanju ciljev politik.
The Commission and the member States were also asked to step up their efforts to take account of the implementing measures in their impact assessments and to start exchanging best practice in the area of the enforcement and application of legislation.
Prav tako je Komisijo in države članice pozval, naj povečajo svoja prizadevanja, da bi v ocenah učinka bolje upoštevale izvedbene ukrepe, ter naj si začnejo izmenjevati najboljše prakse na področju izvrševanja in uporabe zakonodaje.
The Council also undertook to study ways of speeding up the examination of simplification proposals under the current decision-making procedures.
Svet se je zavezal tudi, da bo proučil načine pospešene obravnave predlogov za poenostavitev v okviru veljavnih postopkov odločanja.
On 25 September the Council concluded that better regulation efforts would have greater tangible and practical impact if the public and businesses had easy access, in their own language, to EU legislation.
Svet je 25. septembra izrazil mnenje, da bodo prizadevanja za boljšo zakonodajo v praksi še učinkovitejša, če bo državljanom in podjetjem omogočen lažji dostop do zakonodaje EU v njihovem jeziku.
Improvements to the Internet sites on European law should give priority to using the most efficient and ergonomic search tools and to making all legislative texts available in a consolidated form in all official EU languages.
Pozval je, naj se pri delu za izboljšanje spletnih strani o evropskem pravu prednostno poudarita uporaba najbolj učinkovitih in ergonomskih iskalnih orodij ter dostop do vseh pravnih besedil v prečiščeni obliki v vseh uradnih jezikih EU.
It stressed that the ‘better regulation’ programme applies not only to the drafting stage of legislation but also to the entire regulatory cycle, including effective application.
Poudaril je, da se program boljše pravne ureditve ne nanaša zgolj na fazo priprave predpisov, temveč na celotni zakonodajni postopek, vključno z njihovo dejansko uporabo.

BOLjšE OBLIKOVaNjE PREDPISOV
On 30 January the Commission adopted the second progress report on the strategy for simplifying the regulatory environment (1).
Komisija je 30. januarja sprejela drugo poročilo o napredku strategije za poenostavitev zakonodajnega okolja (1).
This gives a qualitative and quantitative picture of the tangible results that have already been achieved for citizens and businesses under the simplification rolling programme, and describes a package of new measures the Commission intends to present before the end of its term of office.
V tem poročilu so v kakovostnem in količinskem smislu opisani rezultati, ki so jih državljani in podjetja že opazili v okviru izvajanja„tekočega programa za poenostavitev“. Prav tako so v njem opisani novi ukrepi, ki jih bo Komisija predstavila do izteka svojega mandata.
The simplification proposals already adopted include the single payment area in the European Union, the modernised customs code, the electronic customs decision and the reorganisation of the 21 common market organisations into a single system in order to streamline and simplify the common agricultural policy.
med predlogi za poenostavitev, ki so že sprejeti, so na primer enotno plačilno območje v Uniji, posodobljeni carinski zakonik in preoblikovanje 21 skupnih ureditev trgov v enotni sistem, da se racionalizira in poenostavi skupna kmetijska politika. med novimi predlogi Komisije je zlasti pregled zakonodajnega okvira za elektronska komunikacijska omrežja in storitve z namenom zmanjšanja upravnih bremen nacionalnih regulativnih organov in gospodarskih akterjev.
The Commission’s new proposals include the revision of the regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services in order to reduce the administrative burden for the national regulatory authorities and economic operators.
Komisija je v poročilu napovedala svoj namen, da bo dokončala popoln pregled pravnega reda Skupnosti s preverjanjem, ali so veljavni instrumenti še potrebni, ali je uporabljen pravilen zakonodajni slog in ali so vse naložene obveznosti kolikor je mogoče neobremenjujoče in združljive z želenimi rezultati politike. ta proces bo opredelil tudi nove pobude, ki bodo vključene v posodobljeni tekoči program za poenostavitev, ki bo predstavljen v začetku leta 2009.
The report also announced the Commission’s intention of carrying out a full screening of the Community acquis to check whether existing instruments are still needed and are as light-touch as possible in relation to the predicted policy results, that the right regulatory technique is being used and that any burden imposed is proportional to the policy objectives pursued.
Komisija je v zadevnem letu 2008 predstavila 41 novih pobud za poenostavitev.Nanašajo se zlasti na kmetijsko in okoljsko zakonodajo, varstvo potrošnikov, konkurenco, pra- vo družb (kot so skupna pravila za sheme neposredne podpore za kmete (2), sistem Skupnosti za okoljsko ravnanje in presojo (EMAS) (3), sistem Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje (4
