Through these mechanisms, the EU has helped to maintain peace, build democracy and spur economic progress in places as far apart as Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the countries of south-eastern Europe.
S temi mehanizmi EU pomaga vzdrževati mir, graditi demokracijo in spodbujati napredek na tako različnih območjih, kot so Indonezija, demokratična republika Kongo in države jugovzhodne Evrope.
• that asylum seekers are assessed and treated in the same way throughout the EU, so as to prevent ‘asylum shopping’.
• enako presojo in obravnavo iskalcev azila po vsej EU, da bi se izognili iskanju najboljših pogojev za pridobitev azila s strani prosilcev.
Issues such as these are dealt with by the Justice and Home Affairs Council — i.e. the ministers for justice and of the interior.
S takimi vprašanji se ukvarja Svet za pravosodje in notranje zadeve, torej ministri za pravosodje in notranje zadeve.
The aim is to create a single ‘area of freedom, security and justice’ within the EU’s borders.
Cilj teh prizadevanj je ustvariti enotno „območje svobode, varnosti in pravice“ znotraj meja EU.
EU citizens are free to live and work in whichever EU country they choose, so they should have equal access to civil justice everywhere in the European Union.
v a ž državljani EU se lahko svobodno odločajo, v kateri državi EU želijo delati in živeti, zato morajo imeti enakopraven dostop do civilnega sodstva povsod po Evropski uniji.
National courts therefore need to work together to ensure, for example, that a court judgment delivered in one EU country in a divorce or child custody case is recognised in all other EU countries.
Zato morajo nacionalna sodišča sodelovati, da na primer zagotovijo, da se odločba sodišča, izrečena v eni državi EU v primeru ločitve ali skrbništva otroka, prizna tudi v vseh drugih državah EU.
How is the Council’s work organised?
Kako je organizirano delo Sveta?
Freedom of movement within the EU is of great benefit to law-abiding citizens, but it is also exploited by international criminals and terrorists.
Svoboda gibanja znotraj EU zelo koristi državljanom, ki se ravnajo po zakonu, vendar pa jo izkoriščajo mednarodni kriminalci in teroristi.
To tackle crossborder crime requires crossborder cooperation between the national courts, police forces, customs officers and immigration services of all EU countries.
Boj proti čezmejnemu kriminalu zahteva čezmejno sodelovanje med nacionalnimi sodišči, policijskimi organi, carino in službami, ki se ukvarjajo s priseljevanjem, vseh držav EU.
They have to ensure, for example:
Zagotoviti morajo na primer:• učinkovit nadzor nad zunanjimi mejami EU;
The presidency of the Council rotates every six months.
Predsedstvo Sveta se zamenja vsakih šest mesecev.
In other words, each EU country in turn takes charge of the Council agenda and chairs all the meetings for a six-month period, promoting legislative and political decisions and brokering compromises between the member states.
Z drugimi besedami, vsaka država EU pride na vrsto, da šest mesecev skrbi za dnevni red Sveta in predseduje vsem zasedanjem ter tako spodbuja zakonodajne in politične odločitve in posreduje pri sklepanju kompromisov med državami članicami.
• that the EU’s external borders are effectively policed;
• izmenjavo podatkov carine in policije o gibanju domnevnih trgovcev z drogami ali tihotapcev ljudi;
Free movement of people and goods within the EU have made customs checks like these a thing of the past when travelling in Europe.
Zaradi prostega pretoka ljudi in blaga znotraj EU so carinski pregledi, kot je tale, pri potovanju po Evropi preteklost.

In other words, each member state has the power of veto in these areas.
Povedano drugače, vsaka država članica ima na teh področjih pravico veta.

Secondly, the term ‘Commission’ refers to the institution itself and to its staff.
E vodenje institucije in odločanje. Poleg tega izraz „Komisija“ pomeni tudi institucijo samo in njeno osebje.
Informally, the appointed members of the Commission are known as ‘commissioners’. They have generally held political positions in their countries of origin and many have been government ministers, but as members of the Commission they are committed to acting in the interests of the Union as a whole and not taking instructions from national governments.
Neuradno se imenovani člani Komisije imenujejo „komisarji“. v državah, iz katerih prihajajo, so ponavadi imeli politične funkcije in mnogi so bili ministri, vendar pa so kot člani Komisije zavezani delovati v interesu Unije kot celote in od nacionalnih vlad ne smejo sprejemati navodil.
It is also the EU’s executive arm — in other words, it is responsible for implementing the decisions of Parliament and the Council.
Komisija je tudi izvršilna veja EU − povedano drugače, odgovorna je za izvajanje odločitev Parlamenta in Sveta.
That means managing the day-to-day business of the European Union: implementing its policies, running its programmes and spending its funds.
To pomeni, da upravlja vsakodnevno delo Evropske unije: izvaja njene politike ter upravlja z njenimi programi in finančnimi sredstvi.
A new Commission is appointed every five years, within six months of the elections to the European Parliament.
Nova Komisija je imenovana vsakih pet let, in sicer v šestih mesecih po volitvah v Evropski parlament.
The procedure is as follows:
Postopek imenovanja je naslednji:
Like the EP and the Council, the European Commission was set up in the 1950s under the EU’s founding Treaties.
Tako kot Parlament in Svet je bila tudi Komisija ustanovljena v petdesetih letih dvajsetega stoletja z ustanovnimi pogodbami EU.
• the member state governments agree together on who to designate as the new Commission President;
• vlade držav članic se dogovorijo, koga bodo imenovale za novega predsednika Komisije;
The term ‘Commission’ is used in two senses.
Izraz „Komisija“ pomeni dvoje.
First, it refers to the team of men and women – one from each EU country – appointed to run the institution and take its decisions.
Najprej pomeni ekipo moških in žensk − po en predstavnik iz vsake države EU − ki so imenovani za
How the EU works_V5.indd Sec6:21
• nato Parlament potrdi kandidata za predsednika Komisije;
• the Commission President-designate, in discussion with the member state governments, chooses the other members of the Commission;
• Parlament potem opravi razgovor z vsakim predlaganim komisarjem in poda svoje mnenje o celotni ekipi.
What does the Commission do?
Kaj počne Komisija?
The present Commission’s term of office runs until 31 October 2009.
Sedanji mandat Komisije traja do 31. oktobra 2009.
Its President is José Manuel Barroso.
Njen predsednik je josé manuel Barroso.

Proposing new legislation
Predlogi novih pravnih aktov
The Commission has the ‘right of initiative’.
Komisija ima „pravico do pobude“.
In other words, the Commission alone is responsible for drawing up proposals for new EU legislation, which it presents to Parliament and the Council.
To pomeni, da je samo Komisija odgovorna za oblikovanje predlogov za nove pravne akte EU, ki jih predloži Parlamentu in Svetu.
These proposals must aim to defend the interests of the Union and its citizens, not those of specific countries or industries.
Cilj teh predlogov mora biti varovanje interesov Unije in njenih državljanov, ne pa interesov posamičnih držav ali gospodarskih sektorjev.
There is one commissioner for each EU country.
Za vsakodnevno delo Komisije skrbijo upravni uradniki, strokovnjaki, prevajalci, tolmači in pisarniško osebje.
Page 23
Teh evropskih javnih uslužbencev je približno 23 000. morda to zveni veliko, vendar je število pravzaprav manjše od števila zaposlenih v običajnem srednje velikem mestnem svetu v Evropi.
Before making any proposals, the Commission must be aware of new situations and problems developing in Europe, and it must consider whether EU legislation is the best way to deal with them.
Preden Komisija oblikuje kakršen koli predlog, mora biti seznanjena z novimi razmerami in problemi po Evropi, in mora razmisliti, ali je zakonodaja EU najboljši način, kako se z njimi spopasti.
That is why the Commission is in constant touch with a wide range of interest groups and with two advisory bodies – the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
Zato je Komisija v nenehnem stiku s številnimi interesnimi skupinami in z dvema svetovalnima organoma − Evropskim ekonomsko-socialnim svetom in odborom regij.
It also takes the opinions of national parliaments and governments into account.
Prav tako sprejema mnenja nacionalnih parlamentov in vlad.
The Commission will propose action at EU level only if it considers that a problem cannot be solved more efficiently by national, regional or local action.
Komisija predlaga ukrepanje na ravni EU le, če meni, da problema ni mogoče učinkoviteje rešiti z ukrepanjem na nacionalni, regionalni ali lokalni ravni.
This approach of dealing with issues at the lowest possible level is called the ‘subsidiarity principle’.
Ta pristop, po katerem se zadeve obravnavajo na najnižji možni ravni, se imenuje „načelo subsidiarnosti“.
The EU funds upgrades to telecommunications infrastructure in less prosperous regions of the EU.
EU financira izboljšave telekomunikacijske infrastrukture v manj razvitih regijah EU.
If the Commission concludes that EU legislation is needed, then it drafts a proposal that it believes will deal with the problem effectively and satisfy the widest possible range of interests.
Če Komisija sklene, da je potreben pravni akt EU, oblikuje predlog, za katerega meni, da bo učinkovito obravnaval vprašanje in zadovoljil kar najširši spekter interesov.
To get the technical details right the Commission consults experts, via various advisory committees and consultative groups.
Ker želi Komisija v zakonodaji uporabiti pravilne tehnične podrobnosti, se prek različnih odborov in skupin posvetuje s strokovnjaki.
Frequently, it publishes ‘Green’ and ‘White’ papers, holds hearings, seeks the views of civil society and commissions specialist expert reports, and often consults the public directly before it makes a proposal in order to ensure that it has as complete a picture as possible.
Preden oblikuje določen predlog, pogosto objavlja „zelene“ in „bele“ knjige, organizira osebne pogovore, zbira poglede civilne družbe, naroča specialistična strokovna poročila in se pogosto posvetuje neposredno z javnostjo, da si oblikuje karseda jasno sliko.
The Commission also has to implement decisions taken by Parliament and the Council, such as those relating to the common agricultural policy, fisheries, energy, regional development, the environment, or youth, and educational training and exchange schemes, such as the Erasmus programme.
Komisija mora izvrševati tudi odločitve Parlamenta in Sveta, na primer na področjih skupne kmetijske politike, ribištva, energetike, regionalnega razvoja, okolja ali mladine, izobraževanja in usposabljanja ter sistemov izmenjave, kakršen je program Erasmus.
It also plays a major role in competition policy in order to ensure that businesses operate on a level playing field.
Pomembno vlogo ima tudi na področju konkurence, da se zagotovijo enake možnosti na poslovnem področju.
The Commission may prohibit mergers between companies if it thinks they will lead to unfair competition.
Če meni, da bodo združitve podjetij povzročile nepravično konkurenco, jih lahko Komisija prepove.
The Commission also has to make sure that EU countries do not distort competition through excessive subsidies to their industries.
Komisija mora tudi zagotavljati, da države EU ne izkrivljajo konkurence s pretiranimi subvencijami svoji industriji.
How the EU works_V5.indd Sec6:23
3 . izvrševanje evropske zakonodaje
How the EU works_V5.indd Sec6:23
Komisija ima vlogo „varuha Pogodb“.
The Commission acts as ‘guardian of the Treaties’.
Če ugotovi, da država EU ne spoštuje zakonodaje EU, sproži postopek, ki se imenuje „postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev“.
This means that the Commission, together with the Court of Justice, is responsible for making sure EU law is properly applied in all the member states.
Najprej pošlje vladi uradno pismo, v katerem pojasni, zakaj meni, da država krši zakonodajo EU, in v njem določi datum, do katerega mora Komisiji poslati podrobno obrazložitev.
The Commission’s staff is organised in departments, known as ‘directorates-general’ (DGs) and ‘services’ (such as the Legal Service).
Če država članica ne zagotovi zadovoljive obrazložitve ali napak ne popravi, Komisija pošlje še eno pismo, ki potrdi, da je zakonodaja EU kršena, in določi datum, do katerega je treba napako popraviti.
Each DG is responsible for a particular policy area and is headed by a director-general who is answerable to one of the commissioners.
Če država članica še vedno krši zakonodajo EU, Komisija preda zadevo v odločanje Sodišču.
Overall coordination is provided by the Secretariat-General, which also manages the weekly Commission meetings.
Sodbe Sodišča so zavezujoče za države članice in institucije EU.
It is headed by the Secretary General, who is answerable directly to the President.
Če države članice po sodbi še naprej kršijo zakonodajo, jim lahko Sodišče naloži finančno kazen.
In cases where member states continue failing to adhere to a judgment, the Court can impose financial sanctions.
Za splošno usklajevanje je odgovoren Generalni sekretariat, ki organizira tudi tedenske seje Komisije. vodi jo generalni sekretar, ki je neposredno odgovoren predsedniku Komisije.
Representing the EU on theinternational stage
Zastopanje EU na mednarodnem prizorišču r
It is the DGs that actually devise and draft legislative proposals, but these proposals become offi cial only when ‘adopted’ by the Commission at its weekly meeting.
Generalni direktorati so pravzaprav tisti, ki načrtujejo in pripravljajo osnutke zakonodajnih predlogov Komisije, vendar postanejo ti predlogi uradni šele takrat, ko jih Komisija „sprejme“ na svoji tedenski seji.
The procedure is roughly as follows.
Postopek je približno takšen:
The Commission also speaks and negotiates on behalf of the EU in areas where the member states have pooled sovereignty.
Komisija govori in se pogaja v imenu EU tudi na področjih, na katerih države članice združujejo svojo suverenost.
This is done on the basis of agreements reached in advance with the member states.
To poteka na podlagi vnaprejšnjih sporazumov z državami.
How the EU works_V5.indd Sec6:24
vzemimo na primer, da Komisija opazi potrebo po zakonodaji EU, ki bi preprečevala onesnaževanje rek v Evropi.
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso sees for himself the dramatic effects climate change is already having on Greenland.
Predsednik Evropske komisije josé manuel Barroso si ogleduje dramatične posledice podnebnih sprememb na Grenlandiji.
Once the proposal is fully ready, it will be put on the agenda of a Commission meeting.
Ko je predlog popolnoma pripravljen, je uvrščen na dnevni red seje Komisije.
If at least 14 of the 27 commissioners approve the proposal, the Commission will adopt it and it will have the whole team’s unconditional support.
Če predlog podpre vsaj 14 od 27 komisarjev, ga Komisija sprejme in ima brezpogojno podporo celotne skupine.
The document will then be sent to the Council and the European Parliament for them to decide on the proposal.
Ta dokument se nato pošlje v obravnavo Svetu in Evropskemu parlamentu, da odločita o predlogu.
The Commission may subsequently make amendments in the light of the comments from these two institutions and then send the proposal back for final approval.
Komisija lahko potem vstavi spremembe na podlagi pripomb teh dveh institucij in jima nato predlog ponovno pošlje v končno potrditev.

The Court is assisted by eight ‘advocatesgeneral’.
E v okviru Sodišča dela osem „generalnih pravobranilcev“.
Their role is to present opinions on the cases brought before the Court.
Njihova vloga je podajati mnenja o zadevah, predloženih Sodišču.
They must do so publicly and impartially.
Njihovo delo mora biti javno in nepristransko.
The Court of Justice of the European Communities (often referred to simply as ‘the Court’) dates back to the very first of the EU Treaties, the ECSC Treaty of 1952.
Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti (ki se pogosto imenuje preprosto „Sodišče“) je nastalo s sprejetjem prve od pogodb EU, Pogodbe ESPj iz leta 1952.
It is based in Luxembourg.
Njegov sedež je v mestu Luxembourg.
Its job is to make sure that EU legislation is interpreted and applied in the same way in all EU countries, so that the law is equal for everyone.
Naloga Sodišča je zagotavljati, da se zakonodaja EU v vseh državah EU razlaga in uporablja na enak način, tako da je zakon enak za vse.
It ensures, for example, that national courts do not give different rulings on the same issue.
Skrbi na primer za to, da državna sodišča v istih zadevah ne razsojajo različno.
The judges and advocates-general are people whose impartiality is beyond doubt.
Sodniki in generalni pravobranilci so ljudje, v nepristranskost katerih ne gre dvomiti.
They have the qualifications or competence needed for appointment to the highest judicial positions in their home countries.
Ti pravniki imajo izobrazbo in usposobljenost, ki sta potrebna za imenovanje na najvišje sodne položaje v svojih državah.
They are appointed to the Court of Justice by joint agreement between the governments of the EU member states. Each is appointed for a term of six years, which may be renewed.
Sodniki Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti so imenovani na podlagi skupnega dogovora med vladami držav članic EU. vsak od njih je imenovan za obdobje šestih let, ki ga je mogoče podaljšati.
The Court also makes sure that EU member states and institutions do what the law requires.
Sodišče prav tako zagotavlja, da države članice in institucije EU delajo, kar zahteva zakon.
The Court has the power to settle legal disputes between EU member states, EU institutions, businesses and individuals.
Sodišče je pristojno za poravnavo pravnih sporov med državami članicami EU, institucijami EU, podjetji in posamezniki.
To help the Court of Justice cope with the large number of cases brought before it, and to offer citizens better legal protection, a Court of First Instance was created in 1988.
v pomoč Sodišču Evropskih skupnosti, da se uspešno spopada s številnimi zadevami, ki se mu predložijo, in zaradi boljše pravne zaščite državljanov je bilo leta 1988 ustanovljeno Sodišče prve stopnje.
