To je bilo ključno sporočilo komisarke Danute Hübner na konferenci„Priprava urbanih ukrepov v prihodnjih programih strukturnih skladov 2007–2013“ v Barceloni 1. in 2. junija 2006.
During her opening speech, the EU’s Regional Policy Commissioner said that new tools and new funding methods were being made available for towns and cities and she urged participants to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Med otvoritvenim govorom je komisarka za regionalno politiko EU dejala, da so odslej mestom in krajem na voljo nova sredstva in nove metode financiranja in pozvala sodelujoče, naj izkoristijo to priložnost.
This is ‘a crucial moment for urban policy, but also a window of opportunity as we are preparing the next programming period where increased importance is given to the urban dimension,’she said.
To je„prelomen trenutek za urbano politiko, vendar tudi priložnost, saj pripravljamo novo programsko obdobje, kjer je urbani razsežnosti namenjena večja pozornost,“ je dejala.
A new management tool to promote better use of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the area of territorial cooperation is now available online.
naloge vključijo urbane ukrepe, in da mestne in lokalne akterje vključijo v pripravo in izvajanje programov. Predvidene so nove metode financiranja, pa tudi obsežnejši program omrežij za izmenjavo izkušenj (URBACT).
The ‘Good practice Interreg III project evaluation and selection manual’provides Interreg programme managers with practical and analytical information on evaluation methods for project selection.The manual includes a comparative analysis of existing evaluation methods used by Interreg III programmes and an evaluation guide, which provides examples of identified good practices.

Na konferenci v Barceloni, ki jo je organizirala katalonska vlada, so se srečali predstavniki mest in regij EU in pretehtali, kako kar najbolje izkoristiti nova sredstva.
The new Structural Funds regulations, to be adopted in the coming weeks, offers regions the possibility to include, as a specific priority, urban actions in most programmes, and to involve cities and local actors in programming and delivery. New funding methods are also foreseen as well as an enlarged network programme for exchange of experience (Urbact).
Novi upravljalski pripomoček za promocijo učinkovitejšega črpanja sredstev iz ESRR na področju ozemeljskega sodelovanja je sedaj na voljo on-line.„Priročnik dobrih praks za izbiro in vrednotenje projektov INTERREG III“ prinaša podatke o upravljalcih programov INTERREG in nudi praktične ter analitične informacije o metodah ocenjevanja pri izbiri projektov.
The Barcelona conference, which was organised by the Government of Catalonia, brought representatives from EU cities and regions together to consider how best to use these new resources.
Priročnik obsega primerjalno analizo obstoječih metod ocenjevanja, ki jih uporabljajo programi INTERREG III, in navodila za ocenjevanje, kjer boste našli primere dobrih praks. Dodatne informacije na naslovu:
To ensure the full participation of cities in the design and delivery of urban programmes, Member States must also demonstrate how they will involve local authorities in the planning and implementation of the programmes. To facilitate intervention in urban areas, the scope of ERDF measures has also been widened to include actions of a social nature, such as social exclusion.
ljuje tudi v obdobju 2007–2013. V skladu s predlaganimi uredbami za novo kohezijsko politiko bodo države članice, potem ko bodo predstavile nacionalne strateške referenčne okvire, povabljene, da pojasnijo, kako se bodo lotile integriranega urbanega razvoja, vključno z obnovo ogroženih urbanih območij.

niti, kako bodo vključile lokalne oblasti v načrtovanje in uresničevanje programov.
In the current programming period, a significant proportion of Structural Funds money has been dedicated to the urban dimension.
Za olajšanje intervencij na urbanih območjih je bil razširjen okvir ukrepov ESSR, ki naj bi od sedaj vključeval ukrepe socialne narave, npr. boj proti socialni izključenosti.
The Commission would like to see this continue in the 2007–13 period.

New framework for EU–China regional policy cooperation
Novi okvir za sodelovanje EU-Kitajska na področju regionalne politike
On 15 May, EU Regional Policy Commissioner Danuta Hübner signed in Beijing a memorandum of understanding, setting up an official forum where the European Commission and China will discuss regional policy issues.
15. maja je komisarka za regionalno politiko EU Danuta Hübner v Pekingu podpisala memorandum sporazuma, ki vzpostavlja uradni forum, v okviru katerega se bosta Evropska komisija in Kitajska pogovarjali o problemih regionalnega razvoja.
sents 362 % of the average GDP per capita in China while in the EU it is Luxembourg which is leading with 213 % of the average.
lja 362 % povprečnega kitajskega BDP, medtem ko v EU vodi Luksemburg z 213 % povprečnega BDP.
The match is even closer with regard to the poorest areas as Guizhou (33 % of the country average) compares with Latvia (39 %).’
Ujemanje je še izrazitejše na področju najrevnejših regij, kot je Guizhou (33 % nacionalnega povprečja), ki jo je mogoče primerjati z Latvijo (39 %).“
Opening the high-level‘EU-China regional development policy seminar’ in Beijing, Commissioner Hübner said she was ‘very happy that regional policy becomes a major topic for cooperation between China and the European Union’ and that the European Commission would work to ensure that the new memorandum would constitute a framework to take forward this cooperation.
Na otvoritvi „Seminarja politike za regionalni razvoj na visoki ravni EU-Kitajska“ v Pekingu je komisarka Hübner dejala, da je „zelo vesela, da se regionalna politika spreminja v osrednjo temo sodelovanja med Kitajsko in Evropsko unijo“, in da si bo Evropska komisija prizadevala, da bo novi memorandum deloval kot okvir za nadaljevanje oziroma poglabljanje sodelovanja.
The Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional Policy and the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission will use the new forum to promote bilateral cooperation and to exchange information on policies contributing to growth, competitiveness and employment.
Generalni direktorat Komisije za regionalno politiko in Kitajska komisija za nacionalni razvoj in reforme bosta novi forum uporabljali za promocijo dvostranskega sodelovanja in izmenjavo informacij glede politik, ki prispevajo k rasti, konkurenčnosti in zaposlovanju.
The Commissioner referred to the important role of cohesion policy in addressing the challenges of regional disparities in the EU.
Komisarka je omenila pomembno vlogo kohezijske politike pri reševanju problema razlik med regijami EU.
Specifically, she drew attention to the crucial role of partnership, a core principle of EU regional policy.
Še posebej je spregovorila o partnerstvu kot ključnem načelu regionalne politike EU.
‘Partnership means deep involvement of regional and local public authorities and other stakeholders in the design and execution of programmes.
„Partnerstvo pomeni vključevanje regionalne in lokalne javne uprave in drugih sektorjev v načrtovanje in izvajanje programov.
In particular, to promote better governance, we encourage the economic and social partners and representatives from the civil society to become strongly involved in the design, implementation and follow-up of the interventions in the framework of the regional policy,’she said.
Še zlasti za promocijo boljšega vodenja spodbujamo ekonomske in socialne partnerje in predstavnike civilne družbe, naj se močno vključijo v načrtovanje, uresničevanje in nadaljnje spremljanje intervencij v okviru regionalne politike,“ je dejala.
The forum will facilitate a structured dialogue on regional policy established by the Chinese authorities and the Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional Policy and provides for communication channels, contact points, and the possible setting up of ad hoc technical working groups.
Forum, ki bo omogočil strukturiran dialog o regionalni politiki, so postavile kitajske oblasti in Generalni direktorat Komisije za regionalno politiko. Omogoča komunikacijske kanale, kontaktne točke in morebitno vzpostavljanje tehničnih delovnih skupin ad hoc.
The intention is that there will be at least one meeting per year, as well as specific events which will be organised jointly.
Predvideno je vsaj eno srečanje letno, pa tudi posamezni dogodki, ki bodo organizirani ob tem.
Commissioner Hübner explained at the conference that the key lessons of EU cohesion policy were the need to anchor it in wider economic policy-making, the necessity to engage local partners in programme planning and management and the importance of framing it in a coherent economic development strategy.‘This is the direction in which EU regional policy has moved in recent years, and will continue to do so under our proposals for post-2007,’said the Commissioner.
Komisarka Hübner je povedala, da so bila ključna spoznanja kohezijske politike EU potreba po vključevanju v oblikovanje ekonomske politike, nujnost sodelovanja lokalnih partnerjev pri načrtovanju in upravljanju programov in pomembnost umestitve teh aktivnosti v koherentno strategijo ekonomskega razvoja. „To je smer, v katero se je regionalna politika EU premikala v zadnjih letih, in tako naj bi po našem predlogu ostalo tudi v obdobju po letu 2007,“ je dejala komisarka.

Agreement on new regional aid guidelines
Sporazum o novih smernicah za regionalno pomoč
Parliament adopts new legislative package for cohesion policy 2007–13
Parlament sprejel nov paket zakonodaje za kohezijsko politiko 2007–2013
The European Parliament, at its plenary session in Strasbourg on 4 July, gave its approval to the new structural fund and cohesion fund regulations for the period 2007–13.
Evropski parlament je 4. julija na svojem plenarnem zasedanju v Strassbourgu sprejel nove uredbe za strukturne sklade in za Kohezijski sklad za obdobje 2007–2013.
Parliament’s endorsement of the regulations was welcomed by Commissioner Danuta Hübner.
Parlamentarno odobritev uredb je pozdravila komisarka Danuta Hübner.
Speaking after the vote in Strasbourg, the Commissioner invited all parties involved to now build on the momentum and to take full advantage of the EUR 308 billion reserved for cohesion policy for 2007–13.
V svojem govoru po glasovanju v Strasbourgu je komisarka pozvala vse sodelujoče strani, da pričnejo graditi na osnovi te pobude in da v polni meri izkoristijo 308 milijard EUR, namenjenih kohezijski politiki v obdobju 2007–2013.
‘There is no time to lose.
„Ne smemo izgubljati časa.
Everything must be ready for the new programmes to start transforming our regions from January 1, 2007,’ said the Commissioner.
Vse mora biti pripravljeno za nove programe, s katerimi bomo 1. januarja 2007 začeli spreminjati naše regije,“ je rekla komisarka.
The European Commission has welcomed the decision of 24 Member States to comply with the new rules for regional aid for the period 2007–13 and to close regional aid schemes operating under the old rules by 31 December 2006.
Evropska komisija je pozdravila odločitev 24 držav članic, da sprejmejo nova pravila na področju regionalnih pomoči za obdobje 2007–2013 in da do 31. decembra 2006 zaključijo programe regionalne pomoči po starih pravilih.
Germany, the only Member State not to accept the new rules, is objecting to the obligation to phase out all existing aid schemes.
Nemčija je edina država članica, ki ni sprejela novih pravil, saj nasprotuje obveznosti, ki narekuje, da je treba postopno opustiti vse obstoječe programe pomoči.
The Commission has, therefore, opened a formal investigation procedure into all German regional aid schemes with an expiry date after 31 December 2006.
Komisija je zato začela formalni postopek preiskave vseh programov regionalne pomoči v Nemčiji, ki se iztečejo po 31. decembru 2006.
This is a necessary first step before it can adopt a decision requiring Germany to comply with the proposals.
To je prvi obvezni ukrep, preden lahko sprejme odločitev, da mora Nemčija ravnati v skladu s predlogi.

Adoption of the five regulations by the Parliament is a turning point in a process which began over two years ago, when the European Commission presented its proposals for a reformed cohesion policy for 2007–13.
Potem ko so bile uredbe sprejete, bosta morala Evropski parlament in Svet kot naslednji korak k lansiranju novih programov potrditi še Strateške smernice za kohezijsko politiko, verjetno v oktobru (glej naslednji članek).
With the regulations now adopted, the next step towards launching the new programmes is the adoption by the European Parliament and the Council, probably in October, of the Community strategic guidelines on cohesion policy (see next article).
Potrditev petih uredb s strani Parlamenta je prelomnica v procesu, ki se je začel pred več kot dvema letoma, ko je Evropska komisija predstavila svoje predloge za preoblikovanje kohezijske politike v obdobju 2007–2013.
These guidelines will provide a basis for the preparation of the national strategic reference frameworks, due to be transmitted to the Commission before the end of the year. They will also provide a basis for the drafting of the operational programmes.
Rezultat dolgotrajnih posvetov in pogajanj je natančno izoblikovan koncept „po meri oblikovane kohezijske politike, ki bo prinesla več delovnih mest in večjo rast“, kot je rekla komisarka za regionalno politiko EU Danuta Hübner.
The European Parliament was an active participant in this process and contributed a significant number of proposals and amendments which have been incorporated into the final regulations.
Evropski parlament je aktivno sodeloval v procesu in je prispeval številne predloge in dopolnila, ki so bili vključeni v končno besedilo uredb.
Most of the central European and Baltic EU Member States (EU-8) recorded robust growth, improved fiscal positions and booming exports during 2005 and into 2006, according to the latest edition of the EU-8 Quarterly Economic Report released by the World Bank.
Večina držav članic EU iz srednje Evrope in baltskega področja (EU8) je v letih 2005 in 2006 beležila stabilno rast, izboljšan fiskalni položaj in cvetočo izvozno dejavnost; tako je zapisano v najnovejši izdaji EU-8 Quarterly Economic Report, ki ga objavlja Svetovna banka.
The report indicates that rapid output growth is increasingly accompanied by higher employment in the EU-8 and that the short-term economic prospects remain favourable.
Poročilo kaže, da hitro proizvodno rast vedno bolj spremlja tudi višja stopnja zaposlovanja v EU-8 in da kratkoročne ekonomske napovedi ostajajo ugodne.
However, the report also warns that current account deficits remain very high in Estonia and Latvia, but also worrisome in Hungary, Lithuania and Slovakia.
Poročilo pa kljub temu opozarja, da je v Estoniji in Latviji proračunski primanjkljaj še vedno zelo velik, skrb vzbujajoč pa tudi na Madžarskem, v Litvi in na Slovaškem.
On 13 July, Regional Policy Commissioner Danuta Hübner presented two documents, setting out a strategic vision for the new generation of cohesion policy programmes for the period 2007–13.
13. julija je komisarka za regionalno politiko Danuta Hübner predstavila dva dokumenta, ki vzpostavljata strateško vizijo za novo generacijo programov kohezijske politike za obdobje 2007–2013.

Uradna spletna stran finskega predsedovanja je:
The first of the two documents, a draft proposal for a Council decision on Community strategic guidelines for cohesion policy, establishes the main priorities for investment under the new programmes, in accordance with the European Union’s growth and jobs agenda, agreed by the Member States in 2005.
Prvi od dveh dokumentov, osnutek predloga Svetu za sprejem strateških smernic Skupnosti za kohezijsko politiko, navaja poglavitne prednostne naloge na področju investiranja v okviru novih programov v skladu s strategijo rasti in zaposlovanja Evropske unije, ki so jo države članice potrdile leta 2005.
The second document, a communication on the specific contribution of cities to growth and jobs, offers more specific guidance on programming in urban areas.
Komisija predlaga državam članicam in regijam, naj pri oblikovanju dajo prednost investicijam z naslednjimi cilji: a) povečanje privlačnosti mest in regij EU za investicije; b) spodbujanje regionalne inovativnosti in rasti ekonomije znanja; in c) ustvarjanje številnejših in boljših delovnih mest.
The Community strategic guidelines contain the principles and priorities of cohesion policy and suggest ways in which EU regions can take full advantage of the EUR 308 billion that has been made available for national and regional aid programmes over the next seven years.
Dosežen je bil tudi sporazum glede proračuna v višini 308 milijard EUR za kohezijsko politiko v novem obdobju programiranja 2007–2013 in za tri nove pobude – Jaspers (tehnična pomoč pri pripravi velikih projektov), Jeremie (dostop do financiranja za mikropodjetja ter MSP) in Jessica (inovativno financiranje za urbano prenovo), ki so nastale z namenom mobilizacije zunanjih strokovnjakov in investicij v podporo regionalni politiki EU.
National authorities will use the guidelines, which should be officially adopted in October, as the basis for drafting their national strategic priorities for 2007–13, the so-called national strategic http://www.eu2006.fi
