NEW PERSONALITIES FOR A RENEWED EU
NOVE OSEBNOSTI ZA PRENOVLJENO UNIJO
In July the European Council formally nominated José Manuel Barroso as President of the next European Commission.
Julija je Evropski svet uradno predlagal Joséja Manuela Barrosa za predsednika naslednje Evropske komisije.
Parliament, the President-designate presented his own ‘policy guidelines’ (6) and met with each of the Parliament’s main political groups to discuss his plans and hear their views.
Kot odziv na zahteve Evropskega parlamenta je kandidat za predsednika predstavil svoje t. i. politične smernice (6) in se sestal z vsako izmed glavnih političnih skupin v Parlamentu, da so razpravljali o njegovih načrtih, on pa je izvedel njihova stališča.
His guidelines included a chapter on a specic partnership between the European Commission and the European Parliament, with pledges on enhanced cooperation with the Conference of Presidents and the Conference of Committee Chairs, the introduction of a ‘Question hour’, a review of all pending proposals at the beginning of the new Commission’s mandate, and enhanced information provision on external action.
Njegove smernice so zajemale poglavje o posebnem partnerstvu med Evropsko komisijo in Evropskim parlamentom z zaobljubami o tesnejšem sodelovanju s konferenco predsednikov in konferenco predsednikov odborov, uvedbo „ure za vprašanja“, pregled vseh predlogov v obravnavi na začetku mandata nove Komisije ter zagotavljanje več informacij o zunanjem ukrepanju.
He said: ‘I will take the special partnership with the European Parliament to a new level.’
Dejal je: „Naše posebno partnerstvo z Evropskim parlamentom bom postavil na novo raven.“
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso set out his political guidelines for his second term when he appeared before the European Parliament in September.
José Manuel Barroso, predsednik Evropske komisije, je Evropskemu parlamentu septembra orisal politične smernice svojega drugega mandata, na podlagi česar so mu bile dodeljene pristojnosti v novi Komisiji.
This was also the basis for his allocation of responsibilities in the new Commission. The guidelines highlighted:
V smernicah je bilo poudarjeno naslednje: potreba po vodstvu EU, ki bo globalizacijo preoblikovalo na osnovi vrednot in interesov Unije, postavitev globalne soodvisnosti za izhodišče, postavljanje državljanov v osredje načrtov EU, ponovna vzpostavitev gospodarske rasti ter zagotovitev dolgoročne trajne rasti in konkurenčnosti, boj proti brezposelnosti in utrditev socialne kohezije, uporaba izziva trajnostne Evrope kot naše konkurenčne prednosti, zagotavljanje varnosti Evropejcev, utrditev državljanstva EU in vključevanja.
At its September plenary session, the Parliament gave Barroso its backing (7), by an absolute majority, sucient to full even the more demanding level of endorsement required by the Lisbon Treaty for appointment of a Commission President.
Evropski parlament je na septembrskem plenarnem zasedanju podprl Barrosa (7) s tolikšno absolutno večino, da bi ustrezala tudi višji stopnji podpore, določeni v Lizbonski pogodbi za imenovanje predsednika Komisije.
Interpreting the vote as ‘an acceptance of the ambitious programme for a Europe of freedom and solidarity’ in his policy guidelines, he conrmed his determination to work closely with MEPs ‘to build an even stronger parliamentary democracy’.
V svojih političnih smernicah je izglasovanje svojega imenovanja opredelil kot „sprejetje ambicioznega programa za Evropo svobode in solidarnosti“ ter potrdil svojo odločenost za tesno sodelovanje s poslanci Evropskega parlamenta, „da se izgradi še močnejša parlamentarna demokracija“.
The President of the European Council
Predsednik Evropskega sveta
Herman Van Rompuy, 62, was selected as the first President of the European Council in November 2009.
Dvainšestdesetletni Herman Van Rompuy je bil novembra 2009 izbran za prvega predsednika Evropskega sveta.
He had taken up the post as Belgium’s Prime Minister in December 2008.
Belgijski predsednik vlade je postal decembra 2008.
His national political party, the Flemish Christian Democrats, is aligned to the European People’s Party.
Njegova nacionalna politična stranka – flamski krščanski demokrati – je povezana z Evropsko ljudsko stranko.
His 35-year political career started as a political adviser to senior ministers, and has included spells as budget minister in the 1990s and, more recently, as speaker of the Belgian lower house.
Svojo 35-letno politično kariero je začel kot politični svetovalec višjih uradnikov na ministrstvih, pozneje pa je med drugim opravljal funkciji ministra za proračun v 90. letih 20. stoletja in nedavno predsednika spodnjega doma belgijskega parlamenta.
He stood down as Belgian Prime Minister in November so as to start work in his new EU post on 1 January 2010.
Z mesta belgijskega predsednika vlade je odstopil novembra, da bi s 1. januarjem 2010 začel delati na novem položaju EU.
The nomination of the new Commission was delayed by uncertainty over the date of entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.
Pri imenovanju nove Komisije je prišlo do zakasnitve zaradi negotovosti glede datuma začetka veljavnosti Lizbonske pogodbe.
The outgoing Commission was due to end its term at the end of October, but stayed on in a caretaker capacity from 1 November until after the end of 2009, pending completion of the nomination and approval process of its successor.
Mandat prejšnje Komisije naj bi potekel konec oktobra, a je v vlogi skrbnika poslov delovala še od 1. novembra do konca leta 2009, dokler nista bila zaključena postopka imenovanja in potrditve njene naslednice. Medtem je znotraj prejšnje Komisije prišlo do zamenjav.
In the meantime, some modifications took place within the outgoing Commission.
Komisarka za regionalne zadeve Poljakinja Danuta Hübner je odstopila, da bi zasedla sedež v Evropskem parlamentu. Nadomestil jo je Paweł Samecki. Algirdas Šemeta je nadomestil komisarko za proračun Dalio Grybauskaitė, ki je bila izvoljena za predsednico Litve.
Karel De Gucht of Belgium took over as Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid following the resignation of his compatriot Louis Michel, who took up a seat in the EP.
Mesto komisarja za razvoj in humanitarno pomoč je po odstopu Belgijca Louisa Michela, ki je zasedel sedež v Evropskem parlamentu, prevzel njegov rojak Karel De Gucht.
The EP gave a positive assessment of all three new Commissioners in September.
Evropski parlament je septembra pozitivno ocenil vse tri nove komisarje.
Following the resignation of Ján Figel’, who was elected chairman of the Christian Democratic Movement in Slovakia, Maroš Šefčovič, the Slovak Permanent Representative to the EU, took over the portfolio of Education, Training, Culture and Youth until the end of the outgoing Commission’s mandate.
Po odstopu Jána Figel'a, ki je bil izvoljen za predsednika krščansko-demokratičnega gibanja na Slovaškem, je resor komisarja za izobraževanje, usposabljanje, kulturo in mlade do konca mandata prejšnje Komisije prevzel Maroš Šefčovič, stalni predstavnik Slovaške pri EU.
In mid-November, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, in his capacity as President of the Council, convened an extraordinary summit of EU leaders to make the appointments to the two new posts created by the Lisbon Treaty.
Sredi novembra je švedski predsednik vlade Fredrik Reinfeldt v svoji vlogi predsednika Sveta sklical izredno zasedanje voditeljev EU, na katerem naj bi imenovali kandidate za dva nova položaja, ustvarjena z Lizbonsko pogodbo.
Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy was selected as President of the European Council, for a two-and-a-half year term, and Baroness Catherine Ashton, the Commissioner for Trade, as the new High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the Commission.
Belgijski predsednik vlade Herman Van Rompuy je bil imenovan za predsednika Evropskega sveta z dvoinpolletnim mandatom, baronica Catherine Ashton, komisarka za trgovino, pa je prevzela položaja visoke predstavnice Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko ter podpredsednice Komisije.
The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko
Catherine Ashton, 53, the new High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President designate of the Commission, had been the UK’s European Commissioner since October 2008, in replacement of Peter Mandelson.
Triinpetdesetletna Catherine Ashton, ki je nova visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko ter hkrati kandidatka za podpredsednico Komisije, je bila komisarka Združenega kraljestva od oktobra 2008, ko je nadomestila Petra Mandelsona.
From 1999 until then, she had been a Labour member of the UK’s upper house, the House of Lords (as Baroness Ashton of Upholland), where she held ministerial office with responsibilities successively for education, constitutional affairs, justice and human rights.
Od leta 1999 do tedaj je bila članica laburistov v zgornjem domu angleškega parlamenta oz. lordski zbornici (kot baronica Ashton of Upholland), kjer je opravljala ministrsko funkcijo ter bila zaporedoma pristojna za izobraževanje, ustavne zadeve, pravosodje in človekove pravice.
In 2007 she was appointed Leader of the House, in charge of government business in the Lords.
Leta 2007 je bila imenovana za vodjo zgornjega doma in s tem prevzela odgovornost za vladne posle lordske zbornice.
She took up her new post on 1 December, when the Lisbon Treaty came into force.
Novi položaj je prevzela s 1. decembrom ob začetku veljavnosti Lizbonske pogodbe.
As the Lisbon Treaty came into force on 1 December and Catherine Ashton took up her post as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Javier Solana stepped down after 10 years as the EU’s first — and only — High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Ko je 1. decembra začela veljati Lizbonska pogodba je Catherine Ashton prevzela položaj visoke predstavnice Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko, Javier Solana pa je po desetih letih sestopil kot prvi in edini visoki predstavnik EU za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko.
He had simultaneously held the post of Secretary-General of the Council, and in this role was replaced by Pierre de Boissieu, his deputy.
Istočasno je opravljal funkcijo generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evropske unije in v tej vlogi ga je zamenjal njegov namestnik Pierre de Boissieu.
After having received the names of all the countries’candidates, the allocation of portfolios was arranged as shown in the table (overleaf).
Po prejemu imen kandidatov za komisarje iz vseh držav članic, je resorje mednje razdelil, kot je prikazano v razpredelnici (na naslednji strani).
The new Commission includes some new portfolios: Climate Action; Home Affairs; and Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship.
Nova Komisija ima nekaj novih resorjev, tj. podnebne ukrepe, notranje zadeve ter pravosodje, temeljne pravice in državljanstvo.
Other portfolios are reconfigured: Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth; Health and Consumer Policy; Industry and Entrepreneurship; Research, Innovation and Science; International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response.
Poleg tega so bili drugi resorji preoblikovani, in sicer izobraževanje, kultura, večjezičnost in mladi, zdravje in varstvo potrošnikov, industrija in podjetništvo, raziskave, inovacije in znanost ter mednarodno sodelovanje, humanitarna pomoč in krizno odzivanje.
There will be a new emphasis on ‘inclusion’ in the Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion portfolio, and a renewed focus with the Digital Agenda portfolio.
Vključevanju bo namenjen nov poudarek v okviru resorja za zaposlovanje, socialne zadeve in vključevanje, znova pa je z resorjem digitalna agenda v ospredju tudi informacijska družba.
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, representing the Swedish Presidency, welcomed President Barroso’s proposed new Commission as well composed and balanced, with clear divisions of responsibility.
Švedski predsednik vlade Fredrik Reinfeldt je kot predstavnik švedskega predsedstva izrazil zadovoljstvo nad predlogom predsednika Barrosa za člane nove Evropske komisije zaradi dobre sestave in uravnoteženosti ter jasne porazdelitve pristojnosti v okviru Komisije.
‘I am confident that this College will be decisive in steering Europe towards recovery and a sustainable social market economy that works for the people. I have put together a strong Commission to fill the enhanced role of Europe, including on the world stage, provided by the Lisbon Treaty.
Člani kolegija prihajajo iz različnih političnih skupin, zlasti iz Evropske ljudske stranke, Naprednega zavezništva socialistov in demokratov ter Zavezništva liberalcev in demokratov za Evropo.
One of the key tasks of this College will be to give life to the new opportunities provided by the Lisbon Treaty’.
Štirinajst komisarjev, vključno s pred- sednikom, je bilo del prejšnjega kolegija.
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso
Kandidati za komisarje se bodo januarja 2010 predstavili na zaslišanjih pred Evropskim parlamentom, preden jih bodo potrdili z glasovanjem.
The members of the College come from different political families, notably the European People’s Party, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
„Prepričan sem, da bo ta kolegij igral odločilno vlogo pri usmerjanju Evrope na poti k okrevanju ter trajnostnemu in socialnemu tržnemu gospodarstvu, ki služi ljudem.
Fourteen members, including the President, were already members of the outgoing College.
Sestavil sem močno Komisijo, ki bo tudi na svetovnem prizorišču kos okrepljeni vlogi Evrope, kakor je predvidena z Lizbonsko pogodbo.
The Commissioners-designate were to present themselves in the hearings before the European Parliament in January 2010, prior to a vote of consent.
Ena ključnih nalog tega kolegija bo, da nove priložnosti, ki jih ponuja Lizbonska pogodba, spremeni v resničnost,“ je svojo izbiro utemeljil predsednik Evropske komisije José Manuel Barroso.

EFFICIENCY AND TRANSPARENCY
UČINKOVITOSTIN PREGLEDNOST
The renewal of the EU has boosted its capacities, both administratively and politically, to take account of the views of European citizens and to meet their expectations in addressing major issues.
S prenovo EU sta se povečali tako njena upravna kot politična usposobljenost, da upošteva mnenja evropskih državljanov in izpolni njihova pričakovanja pri obravnavanju važnejših vprašanj.
It has also provided mechanisms that bring in new efficiencies and new openness in the way that the EU operates in the interests of its citizens.
Zagotovljeni so bili tudi mehanizmi, s katerimi so se vnesle nove zmogljivosti in nova odprtost v način, kako deluje EU v interesu svojih državljanov.
BETTER REGULATION
BOLJŠA PRIPRAVA ZAKONODAJE
Over recent years, the Commission has made progress in implementing its better regulation agenda.
Komisija je v zadnjih letih izboljšala izvajanje svojega načrta boljše priprave zakonodaje.
Legislation already on the books is being simplified, brought up to date and made more accessible.
Zakonodaja, ki je že napisana, se poenostavlja, posodablja in postaja bolj dosegljiva.
Red tape is being cut, and a programme is focusing on reducing administrative burdens for businesses.
Nepotrebni upravni postopki se odpravljajo, poseben program pa postavlja v ospredje zmanjšanje upravnega bremena za podjetja.
To ensure the quality of new legislation and policies, a wideranging impact assessment system has been created.
Da bi se novi zakonodaji in politikam zagotovila kakovost, je bil uveden celovit sistem za ocenjevanje učinka.
The objective of the better regulation agenda is a regulatory framework
Komisija v sodelovanju z državami članicami razvija
REDUCING THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN that stimulates entrepreneurship and innovation, and allows businesses to compete more effectively and to exploit to the full the potential of the internal market.
Cilj načrta boljše priprave zakonodaje je zakonodajni okvir, ki bi spodbujal podjetništvo in inovacije ter omogočal, da bi podjetja dosegla učinkovitejšo konkurenčnost in v celoti izkoristila potencial notranjega trga.
In doing so, the better regulation agenda contributes to growth and job creation while maintaining high standards of social, environmental, health and consumer protection.
S tem načrt za boljšo priprave zakonodaje prispeva k rasti in ustvarjanju delovnih mest ter obenem ohranja visoke standarde socialne zaščite in varstva okolja ter zdravja in varstva potrošnikov.

) in opomnili, da so za njen uspeh odgovorne tako evropske institucije kot države članice.
It also underscored the urgency of improving the regulatory environment in light of the difficult current economic situation.
Poudarili so tudi nujnost izboljšanja zakonodajnega okolja glede na trenutne težke gospodarske razmere.
SIMPLIFICATION
POENOSTAVITEV
By simplifying and codifying laws, the Commission reduced the EU body of legislation by almost 14 % — about 1 600 legal acts — between 2004 and 2009.
Komisija je s poenostavitvijo in kodificiranjem zakonov med letoma 2004 in 2009 zmanjšala sklop zakonodaje EU za skoraj 14 % – približno 1 600 pravnih aktov.
As far as simplification and improvement of existing legislation is concerned, the Commission has screened all EU legislation in force to identify areas for improvement, and its rolling simplification programme, updated annually, currently includes 185 initiatives to recast, revise or repeal existing legislation, of which 19 were delivered by the Commission in 2009.
Kar zadeva poenostavitev in izboljšanje veljavne zakonodaje, je Komisija pregledala vso veljavno zakonodajo EU, da bi opredelila področja, na katerih je potrebna izboljšava, tekoči program poenostavitve, ki se letno posodablja, pa tako trenutno vključuje 185 pobud za prenovo, pregled ali razveljavitev veljavne zakonodaje, od katerih jih je Komisija v letu 2009 uresničila 19.
In parallel, the Commission finalised codification of 25 acts in 2009.
Hkrati je leta 2009 končala kodifikacijo 25 aktov.
So far, a total of 220 codified acts have replaced 1 090 previous acts, which corresponds to about 2 000 pages of the Official Journal.
Do zdaj je skupaj 220 kodificiranih aktov nadomestilo 1 090 prejšnjih aktov, kar ustreza približno 2 000 stranem v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.
The third progress report on simplification strategy, issued in June, listed tangible benefits for citizens and companies, in particular small and mediumsized enterprises: 148 simplification initiatives contributed to streamlining the regulatory framework, improving working procedures (notably through wider use of information technologies) and ensuring effective functioning of the internal market.
V tretjem poročilu o napredku strategije za poenostavitev, objavljenem junija, so bile navedene oprijemljive koristi za državljane in podjetja, zlasti mala in srednja podjetja, in sicer: 148 pobud za poenostavitev je prispevalo k racionalizaciji zakonodajnega okvira, izboljšanju delovnih pogojev (predvsem s širšo uporabo informacijskih tehnologij) ter zagotovitvi učinkovitega delovanja notranjega trga.
The Commission included 33 simplification initiatives in its legislative and work programme for 2009, in areas ranging from combating late payment in commercial transactions to simplified procedures in state aid.
Komisija je v svoj zakonodajni in delovni program za leto 2009 vključila 33 pobud za poenostavitev na področjih od boja proti zamudam pri plačilih v trgovinskih poslih do poenostavljenih postopkov pri državnih pomočeh.
In October, a Commission overview of progress to date in the‘Action programme for reducing administrative burdens in the EU’ — part of the overall better regulation agenda — showed that measures proposed by the Commission and under preparation would enable businesses to save around €40 billion a year on red tape stemming from the envisaged 72 legal acts and the measures that transpose and implement them in the Member States.
Nova nagrada Evropske komisije spodbuja mala podjetja k oblikovanju predlogov, s katerimi bi lahko zmanjšala svoja upravna bremena.
Reduction measures already in place could bring a reduction of €7.6 billion a year, and measures proposed by the Commission and pending adoption by the European Parliament and the Council would add another €30.7 billion.
Prva nagrada za zmanjšanje nepotrebnih upravnih postopkov je bila maja podeljena nemškemu obrtnemu združenju (ZDH), ki je predlagalo, da bi bilo treba oprostitev zahteve v zvezi s tahografi za premike vozil obrtniških podjetij z zdajšnjega radija 50 km od baze razširiti na radij 150 km.
