Europe could be made even more democratic by giving the Parliament a greater role, by creating genuine European political parties and by giving ordinary people a greater say in EU policymaking via non-governmental organisations and other voluntary associations.
Evropa bi lahko postala še bolj demokratična, če bi Parlament dobil večjo vlogo, če bi nastale prave evropske politične stranke in če bi državljani imeli več besede pri oblikovanju politike EU preko nevladnih organizacij in drugih prostovoljnih združenj.
• The opening of internal borders between EU member states is a very tangible benefit for ordinary people, allowing them to travel freely without being subject to border controls.
• Odprtje notranjih mej med državami članicami EU je izredno oprijemljiva prednost za državljane in jim omogoča, da prosto potujejo brez mejnega nadzora.
• However, this freedom of internal movement must go hand in hand with increased controls at the EU’s external borders so as to combat effectively the trafficking of people and drugs, organised crime, illegal immigration and terrorism.
• Vendar mora to svobodo notranjega gibanja spremljati poostren nadzor na zunanjih mejah EU, če naj se učinkovito spopadamo s trgovino z ljudmi in drogami, organiziranim kriminalom, nezakonitim priseljevanjem in terorizmom.
• The EU countries cooperate in the area of policing and justice so as to make Europe safer and more secure.
• Države EU sodelujejo na področju policijske dejavnosti in pravosodja za varnejšo Evropo.
European citizens are entitled to live in freedom, without fear of persecution or violence, anywhere in the European Union.
Evropski državljani imajo pravico, da kjer koli v Evropski uniji živijo svobodno in brez strahu pred preganjanjem ali nasiljem.
Yet international crime and terrorism are among the main concerns of Europeans today.
Kljub temu pa sta mednarodni kriminal in terorizem pojava, ki današnjim Evropejcem zbujata največ skrbi.
in a small Luxembourg border town called Schengen.
nem mestu z imenom Schengen.
They agreed to abolish all checks on people, regardless of nationality, at their shared borders, to harmonise controls at their borders with nonEU countries and to introduce a common policy on visas.
Sklenile so, da bodo na skupnih mejah odpravile kontrolo oseb, ne glede na državljanstvo, uskladile kontrole na mejah z državami, ki niso članice EU, ter uvedle skupno vizumsko politiko.
They thus formed an area without internal frontiers known as the Schengen Area.
Na ta način so oblikovale območje brez notranjih meja, ki nosi ime schengensko območje.
The Schengen package and the secondary legislation derived from it have since become an integral part of the EU Treaties, and the Schengen Area has gradually expanded.
Od takrat sta schengenski sveženj in sekundarna zakonodaja, ki izhaja iz njega, postala sestavni del pogodb EU in schengensko območje se je počasi širilo.
By 2006, 13 EU countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden), together with nonEU countries Iceland and Norway, were fully implementing the Schengen rules.
Leta 2006 je že 13 držav EU (Avstrija, Belgija, Danska, Finska, Francija, Nemčija, Grčija, Italija, Luksemburg, Nizozemska, Portugalska, Španija in Švedska), skupaj z državama, ki nista članici EU, Islandijo in Norveško, polno uveljavilo schengenske predpise.
Integration in the field of justice and home affairs was not envisaged in the Treaty establishing the European Community.
Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti ni predvidevala povezovanja na področju pravosodja in notranjih zadev.
However, as time went by, it became clear that freedom of movement had to mean giving everyone, everywhere in the EU, the same protection and the same access to justice.
Sčasoma pa je postalo jasno, da svoboda gibanja pomeni, da je treba vsakemu posamezniku v celotni Uniji zagotoviti enako varstvo in enak dostop do pravice.
So an area of freedom, security and justice was created gradually over the years through amendments to the original Treaties under the Single European Act, the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht Treaty) and the Amsterdam Treaty.
Tako se je z leti postopoma oblikovalo območje svobode, varnosti in pravice s spremembami prvotnih pogodb z Enotnim evropskim aktom, Pogodbo o Evropski uniji (Maastrichtsko pogodbo) in Amsterdamsko pogodbo.
When 10 new countries joined in 2004, they were given seven years to fulfil the criteria for membership of the Schengen Area.
Ko se je leta 2004 pridružilo deset novih držav, so dobile na voljo sedem let, da izpolnijo merila za članstvo v schengenskem območju.
Asylum and immigration policy
Azilna politika in politika priseljevanja
The free movement of people within the EU raises security issues for the member governments, since they no longer control internal EU borders.
S pravico do prostega gibanja oseb znotraj EU se vladam držav članic zastavlja vprašanje varnosti, saj ne nadzirajo več notranjih mej EU.
To compensate for this, extra security measures have to be put in place at the EU’s external borders.
Zato so potrebni nadomestni varnostni ukrepi na zunanjih mejah EU.
Moreover, since criminals can also exploit freedom of movement within the EU, national police forces and judicial authorities have to work together to combat crossborder crime.
Pravico do prostega gibanja v Uniji izkoriščajo tudi storilci kaznivih dejanj, zato morajo nacionalni policijski organi in sodne oblasti sodelovati v boju proti mednarodnemu kriminalu.
Europe is proud of its humanitarian tradition of welcoming foreigners and offering asylum to refugees fleeing danger and persecution.
Evropa je ponosna na svojo dolgoletno tradicijo sprejemanja tujcev, ki v begu pred nevarnostjo in preganjanjem iščejo politično zatočišče.
Today, EU governments face the pressing question of how to deal with rising numbers of immigrants, both legal and illegal, in an area without internal frontiers.
Vlade EU se danes soočajo s perečim vprašanjem, kaj storiti z naraščajočim številom priseljencev, tako zakonitih kot nezakonitih, na območju, ki je brez notranjih meja.
One of the most important moves to make life easier for travellers in the European Union took place in 1985, when the governments of Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands signed an agreement
Eden najpomembnejših korakov za lažje potovanje po Evropski uniji je bil storjen leta 1985, ko so vlade Belgije, Francije, Nemčije, Luksemburga in Nizozemske podpisale sporazum v majhnem luksemburškem obmej-
People traffickers exploit the vulnerable — international police cooperation is needed.
Trgovci z ljudmi izkoriščajo ranljive – potrebno je mednarodno sodelovanje policije.
Fighting international crime and terrorism
Boj proti mednarodnemu kriminalu in terorizmu
EU governments have agreed to harmonise their rules so that applications for asylum can be processed in accordance with a set of basic principles uniformly recognised throughout the European Union.
Vlade EU so sklenile uskladiti svoja pravila, tako da bodo prošnje za azil obravnavane v skladu z nekaterimi osnovnimi načeli, ki bodo priznana po vsej Evropski uniji.
In 1999, they set themselves the goal of adopting a common asylum procedure and giving equal status throughout the Union to persons who have been granted asylum.
Leta 1999 so si zadale cilj, da bodo sprejele skupni azilni postopek in osebam, ki jim je bil dodeljen azil, zagotovile enakovredno obravnavanje po vsej Uniji.
Some technical measures were adopted, such as minimum standards for the admission of asylum-seek-ers and for the granting of refugee status.
Sprejetih je bilo nekaj tehničnih ukrepov, kot so minimalni standardi za sprejemanje prosilcev za azil in dodeljevanje statusa begunca.
To make an asylum and immigration policy viable, the EU must have an effective system for managing migration flows, carrying out checks at its external borders and preventing illegal immigration.
Da bi lahko azilna politika in politika priseljevanja zaživeli, mora EU imeti učinkovit sistem za nadzor nad priseljevanjem, izvajanje kontrol na zunanjih mejah ter preprečevanje nezakonitega priseljevanja.
A coordinated effort is needed to combat criminal gangs who run people-trafficking networks and who exploit vulnerable human beings, particularly women and children.
Potrebna so usklajena prizadevanja za boj proti kriminalnim združbam, ki vodijo mreže za tihotapljenje ljudi in izkoriščajo njihovo ranljivost, zlasti žensk in otrok.
Organised crime is becoming ever more sophisticated and regularly uses European or international networks for its activities.
Organizirani kriminal postaja vse bolj razvit in za svoje dejavnosti redno uporablja evropske in mednarodne mreže.
Terrorism has clearly shown that it can strike, with great brutality, anywhere in the world.
Terorizem je jasno pokazal, da lahko s skrajno brutalnostjo udari kjer koli v svetu.
A European Fund for Refugees was established, with a budget of €114 million a year.
Ustanovljen je bil Evropski sklad za begunce s proračunom 114 milijonov evrov na leto.
Despite this large-scale cooperation between national governments, a true EU asylum and immigration policy still has to be put in place.
Kljub temu intenzivnemu sodelovanju med nacionalnimi vladami pa je resnična azilna politika in politika priseljevanja EU še vedno v nastajanju.
The European arrest warrant, operational since January 2004, is intended to replace long extradition procedures.
Evropski sodni nalog za prijetje, ki se uporablja od januarja 2004, je namenjen nadomestitvi dolgotrajnih postopkov izročitve.
This is why the Schengen information system (SIS) was set up.
informacij o iskanih osebah in lastnini – npr. ukradenih vozilih, umetninah ali pa osebah, za katere je bil izdan sodni nalog za aretacijo ali izročitev.
This is a complex database which enables police forces and judicial authorities to exchange information on people for whom an arrest warrant or extradition request has been issued, and on stolen property such as vehicles or works of art.
Eden najboljših načinov za zajetje storilcev kaznivih dejanj je izslediti njihova nezakonito pridobljena sredstva. V ta namen ter zato, da se prekine financiranje kriminalnih združenj in terorističnih organizacij, uporablja EU zakonodajo za preprečevanje pranja denarja.
International crime and terrorism do not respect national boundaries.
Mednarodni kriminal in terorizem se ne ozirata na nacionalne meje.
This means that a common EU criminal justice policy is required, since cooperation between the courts in different countries can be hampered by their differing definitions of certain criminal acts.
To pomeni, da je potrebna skupna kaznovalna politika EU, saj sodelovanje med sodišči v različnih državah lahko zavirajo različne razlage določenih kriminalnih dejanj.
The objective is to give the EU a common framework for fighting terrorism, so as to guarantee its citizens a high level of protection and step up international cooperation in this area.
Cilj je dati EU skupni okvir za boj proti terorizmu, da bo tako svojim državljanom zagotovila visoko stopnjo zaščite in pospešila mednarodno sodelovanje na tem področju.
In the area of civil law, the EU has adopted legislation to facilitate the application of court rulings in crossborder cases involving divorce, separation, child custody and maintenance claims so that judgments in one country are applicable in another.
Na področju civilnega prava je EU sprejela zakonodajo, ki omogoča uporabo sodnih odločitev v čezmejnih primerih in ki vključuje razvezo, ločitev, skrbništvo nad otrokom in zahtevke za vzdrževanje, tako da lahko sodbe iz ene države izvršujejo tudi v drugi.
The EU has established common procedures to simplify and speed up the settlement of crossborder cases in small and uncontested civil claims like debt recovery and bankruptcy.
EU je oblikovala skupne postopke za poenostavitev in pospešitev poravnave čezmejnih primerov v majhnih in nespornih civilnih zahtevkih, kot so vračilo dolga in stečaj.
The greatest advance made in recent years in the field of cooperation between law enforcement authorities was the creation of Europol, an EU body based in The Hague and staffed by police and customs officers.
Daleč največji dosežek v zadnjih letih na področju sodelovanja med organi pregona je ustanovitev Europola, organa EU s sedežem v Haagu, ki ga sestavljajo policijski in carinski uradniki.
It tackles a wide range of international crime: drug trafficking, trade in stolen vehicles, people trafficking and illegal immigration networks, the sexual exploitation of women and children, pornography, forgery, the trafficking of radioactive and nuclear material, terrorism, money-laundering and counterfeiting the euro.
Spopada se s številnimi oblikami mednarodnega kriminala: prometom s prepovedanimi drogami, prodajo ukradenih vozil, tihotapljenjem ljudi in nezakonitimi mrežami priseljevanja, spolnim izkoriščanjem žensk in otrok, pornografijo, ponarejanjem, trgovanjem z radioaktivnimi in jedrskimi snovmi, terorizmom, pranjem denarja in ponarejanjem evra.
Towards a ‘European judicial area’
Naproti„evropskemu območju pravice“
At present, many different judicial systems operate side by side in the European Union, each within national borders.
V Evropski uniji trenutno vzporedno deluje več različnih pravnih sistemov, po eden v vsakidržavi članici.
If the Union wants its people to share the same concept of justice, its justice system must make their daily lives easier rather than more complicated.
Če Unija želi, da za njene državljane velja enoten koncept pravice, mora njen pravni sistem lajšati, ne pa oteževati njihovega življenja.
The most significant example of practical cooperation in this field is the work done by Eurojust, a central coordinating structure established in The Hague in 2003.
Najpomembnejši primer praktičnega sodelovanja na tem področju je delo, ki ga opravlja Eurojust, osrednja usklajevalna struktura, ustanovljena v Haagu leta 2003.
Its purpose is to enable the national investigating and prosecuting authorities to work together on criminal investigations involving several EU countries.
Ta nacionalnim preiskovalnim organom in organom kazenskega pregona omogoča, da sodelujejo pri preiskavah kaznivih dejanj, ki zadevajo več držav EU.
• The EU has more influence on the world stage when it speaks with a single voice in international affairs.
• EU je bolj vplivna na svetovnem prizorišču, če v mednarodnih zadevah nastopa enotno.
Trade negotiations are a good example of this.
Dober primer za to so trgovinska pogajanja.
• In the area of defence, each country remains sovereign, whether a member of NATO or neutral.
• Na področju obrambe vse države ostajajo suverene, ne glede na to, ali so članice Nata ali so nevtralne.
However, the EU member states are developing military cooperation for peacekeeping missions.
Obenem pa države članice EU razvijajo vojaško sodelovanje za mirovne misije.

• For reasons of history and geographic proximity, the southern Mediterranean and Africa are areas to which the EU gives close attention (development aid policies, trade preferences, food aid and human rights).
Odločitve na tem področju se sprejemajo soglasno, posamezne države pa imajo možnost, da se vzdržijo glasovanja.
and the Parliament play only a minor role.
a) Politična in strateška slika leta 2006
In economic, trade and monetary terms, the European Union has become a major world power.
Evropska unija je na gospodarskem, trgovinskem in denarnem področju ena od vodilnih svetovnih sil.
However, some have described the EU as an economic giant but a political dwarf.
Kljub temu nekateri nanjo gledajo kot na gospodarskega orjaka, vendar političnega palčka.
This is an exaggeration.
Ta trditev je pretirana.
It has considerable influence within international organisations such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the specialised bodies of the United Nations (UN), and at world summits on the environment and development.
EU ima velik vpliv v okviru mednarodnih organizacij, kot so Svetovna trgovinska organizacija (STO) in specializirani organi Organizacije Združenih narodov (OZN), ter na vrhovnih mednarodnih srečanjih na področju okolja in razvoja.
The continent of Europe is coming together peacefully, and European countries are working together to fight international crime, people trafficking, illegal immigration and money laundering.
Evropska celina se miroljubno združuje, evropske države pa se s skupnimi močmi bojujejo proti mednarodnemu kriminalu, trgovini z ljudmi, nezakonitemu priseljevanju in pranju denarja.
The enlarged EU has established a partnership structure with its neighbours, some of whom have medium-term prospects of joining the European Union.
Razširjena EU je vzpostavila strukturo partnerstva s svojimi sosedami, pri čemer imajo nekatere srednjeročno možnosti za vstop v Evropsko unijo.
Nevertheless, it is true that the EU and its members have a long way to go, in diplomatic and political terms, before they can speak with one voice on major world issues like peace and stability, relations with the United States, terrorism, the Middle East and the role of the UN Security Council.
Res pa je, da države članice EU v diplomatskem in političnem smislu čaka še dolga pot, preden bodo lahko enotno spregovorile o tako pomembnih zadevah, kot so mir in stabilnost, terorizem, Bližnji vzhod, odnosi z Združenimi državami Amerike in vloga Varnostnega sveta OZN.
What is more, the cornerstone of national sovereignty, namely military defence systems, remain in the hands of national governments, whose ties are those forged within alliances such as NATO.
In ne samo to, njihovi obrambni sistemi, ki so temelj nacionalne suverenosti, so trdno v rokah državnih vlad, ki se povezujejo med seboj zgolj v okviru zavezništev, kakršno je Nato.
The United States has accepted that, for military action in which the Americans are not involved, Europe can use some of NATO’s logistical capacity such as its intelligence, communications, command facilities and transport capabilities.
Združene države Amerike soglašajo, da lahko Evropa za vojaško delovanje, v katero ZDA niso vpletene, uporabi določene logistične zmogljivosti zveze Nato, kot so obveščevalne službe, enote za zveze ter poveljevalna in prometna infrastruktura.
The common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and the European security and defence policy (ESDP), introduced by the Treaties of Maastricht (1992), Amsterdam (1997) and Nice (2001), define the EU’s main tasks in the area of defence.
Skupna zunanja in varnostna politika (SZVP) in Evropska varnostna in obrambna politika (EVOP), uvedeni z Maastrichtsko (1992) in Amsterdamsko pogodbo (1997) ter Pogodbo iz Nice (2001), določata poglavitne naloge EU na področju obrambe.
To carry out these tasks, the EU has developed its “second pillar”, the policy domain in which action is decided by intergovernmental agreement and in which the Commission

humanitarne misije zunaj Evrope, operacije za ohranjanje miru in opravljanje drugih nalog pri obvladovanju kriz.
Under the Amsterdam Treaty, Javier Solana was appointed the EU’s first High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) in 1999.
Javier Solana je bil leta 1999 v skladu z Amsterdamsko pogodbo imenovan za prvega visokega predstavnika EU za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko (SZVP).
As military technology becomes ever more sophisticated and expensive, EU governments are finding it increasingly necessary to work together on arms manufacture.
Glede na to, da vojaška tehnologija postaja vse bolj razvita in dražja, bodo vlade EU morale vse bolj sodelovati na področju vojaške industrije.
Moreover, if their armed forces are to carry out joint missions, their systems must be interoperable and their equipment sufficiently standardised.
Poleg tega pa morajo biti za skupno izvajanje vojaških nalog njihovi vojaški sistemi medsebojno združljivi in vojaška oprema dovolj standardizirana.
The European Council in Thessaloniki decided, in 2003, to establish a European Defence Agency.
Evropski svet je leta 2003 v Solunu sprejel sklep o ustanovitvi Evropske obrambne agencije.
EU member states have set a specific goal as part of the task of establishing a European security and defence policy. This is to be able to deploy a rapid reaction force with naval and air support and sustain it for one year.
Države članice EU so si pri vzpostavljanju Evropske varnostne in obrambne politike zadale poseben cilj – oblikovanje enote za hitro posredovanje, skupaj s pomorsko in zračno podporo, ki bi jo lahko vzdrževala eno leto.
This rapid reaction force will not yet be a real European army.
Ta enota za hitro posredovanje še ne bo prava evropska vojska.
Instead it will be made up of contingents from the existing national armed forces.
Sestavljena bo iz kontingentov nacionalnih oboroženih sil.
Since 2003, the EU has undertaken a series of peacekeeping and crisis management missions.
EU je od leta 2003 sodelovala v vrsti misij za ohranjanje miru in obvladovanje kriz.
The most important of these has been in Bosnia and Herzegovina where a European Union military force (EUFOR) of 7 000 troops replaced NATO peacekeeping forces in December 2004.
Najpomembnejša je bila tista v Bosni in Hercegovini, kjer so vojaške sile Evropske unije (EUFOR) s 7 000 vojaki decembra 2004 nadomestile Natove mirovne sile.
However, following the establishment of a Political and Security Committee (PSC), a European Union Military Committee (EUMC) and a European Union Military Staff (EUMS), under the authority of the
Po ustanovitvi Političnega in varnostnega odbora (PVO), Vojaškega odbora Evropske unije (VOEU) in Vojaškega štaba evropske unije (VŠEU), v pristojnosti Sveta in s sedežem v Bruslju, je Unija razvila politično in vojaško orodje za izvajanje nalog, ki si jih je zadala:

Trgovinska politika, odprta za svet izvoz, z izjemo orožja, v skladu s programom, začetim leta 2001, uživa dajatev prost dostop do trga EU.
The European Union supports the rulesbased system of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which provides a degree of legal certainty and transparency in the conduct of international trade.
Evropska unija podpira sistem Svetovne trgovinske organizacije (STO), ki temelji na predpisih in zagotavlja določeno stopnjo pravne varnosti in preglednosti pri mednarodnem trgovanju.
The WTO sets conditions under which its members can defend themselves against unfair practices like dumping (selling below cost) through which exporters compete against their rivals.
STO določa pogoje, pod katerimi se lahko njene članice branijo pred nepoštenim ravnanjem kot je damping (prodaja, ki ne pokriva stroškov), s katerim izvozniki tekmujejo s konkurenco.
It also provides a procedure for settling disputes that arise between two or more trading partners.
Predvideva tudi postopke za poravnavo sporov med dvema ali več trgovinskimi partnericami.
The EU does not, however, have specific trade agreements with its major trading partners among the developed countries like the United States and Japan.
EU pa nima posebnih trgovinskih sporazumov s svojimi večjimi trgovinskimi partnericami med razvitimi državami, kot so Združene države in Japonska.
Here, trade relations are handled through the WTO mechanisms.
