Of the institutions of the European Union, it is the Council which has the political decisionmaking power in fields within the sphere of competence of the Union.
Svet je tista institucija Evropske unije, ki je pristojna za politično odločanje na področjih v pristojnosti Unije.
With the participation of the European Parliament, the Council is also responsible for legislating in ‘Community’ fields at the initiative of the

The purpose of this handbook — which has been prepared on the responsibility of the General Secretariat of the Council and has no legal force — is to explain certain basic concepts of how the Council works, but above all to provide practical information both on existing sources of information and on the implementation of measures adopted with regard to openness and transparency.

Namen tega vodnika, za katerega je odgovoren generalni sekreta- riat Sveta in nima pravnih posledic, je predstaviti nekatere temeljne pojme, povezane z delovanjem Sveta, predvsem pa zagotoviti prak- tične informacije o obstoječih virih informacij in izvajanju ukrepov v zvezi z odprtostjo in preglednostjo.
Council’s desire to get closer to citizens in order to build their confidence in European integration.
Iz teh ukrepov je razvidno, da se Svet želi približati državljanom in s tem okrepiti njihovo zaupanje v evropsko združevanje.

Composition and working methods
Sestava in način delovanja
The Council of the European Union is composed of one representative of each Member State — Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom — of ministerial rank authorised to commit his/her government.
Svet Evropske unije sestavlja po en predstavnik na ministrski ravni iz vsake države članice – Avstrije, Belgije, Bolgarije, Cipra, Češke, Danske, Estonije, Finske, Francije, Grčije, Irske, Italije, Latvije, Litve, Luksemburga, Madžarske, Malte, Nemčije, Nizozemske, Poljske, Portugalske, Romunije, Slovaške, Slovenije, Španije, Švedske, Združenega kraljestva –, ki je pooblaščen za prevzemanje obveznosti v imenu svoje vlade.
The Presidency is held by each Member State, on a rotating basis, for a period of six months (January to June and July to December).
Posamezne države članice izmenično predsedujejo Svetu za dobo šestih mesecev (od januarja do junija, od julija do decembra).
Transport, Telecommunications and Energy
Svet je en sam, sestaja pa se v različnih sestavah glede na obravnavano vsebino dnevnega reda.
BASIC CONCEPTS
TEMELJNI POJMI
The General Affairs, Ecofin and Agriculture Councils generally meet once a month, whilst others meet at irregular intervals depending on the urgency of the topics discussed.
Svet v sestavi ”splošne zadeve in zunanji odnosi”, ”Ecofin” ter ”kmetijstvo in ribištvo” se načeloma sestaja enkrat na mesec, drugi pa v rednih časovnih presledkih glede na nujnost obravnavanih zadev.
Ministerial meetings are held in Brussels, at the Council’s headquarters, except for April, June and October, when the meetings are held in the European Centre in Luxembourg.
Ministrske seje potekajo na sedežu Sveta v Bruslju, razen aprila, junija in oktobra, ko potekajo v Evropskem centru v Luxembourgu.
The Member States have Permanent Representations to the European Union in Brussels.
Države članice imajo v Bruslju stalna predstavništva pri Evropski uniji.
The 27 Permanent Representatives usually meet each week in a committee known as the Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper).
Sedemindvajset stalnih predstavnikov se običajno vsak teden sestane v odboru, znanim kot ”Odbor stalnih predstavnikov” (Coreper – Comité des représentants permanents).
That committee divided into two parts, one composed of the Permanent Representatives (‘Coreper II’), and the other of their deputies (‘Coreper I’) is responsible for preparing the Council’s proceedings.
Naloga tega odbora – razdeljen je na dva dela: prvega sestavljajo stalni predstavniki (”Coreper II”), drugega pa njihovi namestniki (”Coreper I”) – je pripravljati seje Sveta.
Preparation for the Agriculture Council is the responsibility of the Special Committee on Agriculture (SCA).
Za pripravo Sveta v sestavi ”kmetijstvo” je pristojen Posebni odbor za kmetijstvo (POK).
The numerous working parties, composed of national delegates and experts, submit their reports, following thorough examination of proposals, to Coreper and the SCA.
Številne delovne skupine, ki jih sestavljajo nacionalni delegati in strokovnjaki, naslavljajo poročila na Coreper in POK, pripravijo pa jih na podlagi podrobnega pregleda predlogov.
The Political and Security Committee (PSC) brings together the representatives of the 27 Member States at Ambassador level.
V okviru Političnega in varnostnega odbora (PVO) se sestajajo predstavniki sedemindvajsetih držav članic na ravni veleposlanikov.
Its main functions are to monitor the international situation, and to contribute to the definition of policies, within the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP).
Glavni nalogi tega odbora sta spremljanje mednarodnega položaja in opredeljevanje politik v okviru evropske varnostne in obrambne politike (EVOP).
In the event of a crisis, the PSC plays a central role without prejudice to the competence of the Permanent Representatives Committee.
PVO ima v kriznih razmerah ključno vlogo, ne da bi pri tem posegal v pristojnosti Odbora stalnih predstavnikov.
The structure of the Treaty on European Union (EU Treaty) organises the Union’s activities in three fields (‘pillars’), on the basis of which the Council’s proceedings are arranged.
V Pogodbi o Evropski uniji (Pogodba EU) so dejavnosti Unije razvrščene v tri področja (t. i. ”stebre”), na podlagi katerih je urejeno delo Sveta.
The first pillar covers activities deriving from the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty), involving ‘Community’ policies such as agriculture, environmental protection or economic and commercial questions.
Prvi ”steber” zajema dejavnosti, ki izhajajo iz Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti (Pogodba ES). Gre za t. i. politike ”Skupnosti”, kot so denimo kmetijstvo, varstvo okolja ali gospodarska in trgovinska vprašanja.
The second and third pillars cover the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
Drugi steber zajema skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko (SZVP), tretji steber pa policijsko in pravosodno sodelovanje v kazenskih zadevah.
First pillar: Community domain
Prvi ”steber”: Skupnost
In the Community domain, Council acts may take the form of regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations or opinions.
Na področju Skupnosti imajo akti Sveta lahko obliko uredb, direktiv, odločb, priporočil ali mnenj.
Regulations are general in scope and directly applicable in all Member States.
Uredbe se splošno in neposredno uporabljajo v vseh državah članicah.
Directives bind Member States as to the results to be achieved, while leaving national authorities competence as to form and means.
Direktive so za vsako državo članico zavezujoče glede cilja, ki ga je treba doseči, nacionalnim organom pa prepuščajo izbiro oblike in metod.
Directives therefore require national measures to be taken to transpose them into national law.
Pri direktivah je torej treba sprejeti nacionalne ukrepe za njihov prenos v nacionalno zakonodajo.
Decisions are compulsory for those to whom they are addressed.
Odločbe so zavezujoče za vse, na katere so naslovljene.
They may apply to one or all Member States, to undertakings or individuals.
Veljajo lahko za eno ali vse države članice, za podjetja ali posameznike.
Recommendations, opinions, resolutions and conclusions are essentially political acts and not legally binding.
Priporočila in mnenja ali resolucije in sklepi so akti, ki so predvsem političnega pomena in niso pravno zavezujoči.
There are three main types of decisionmaking procedure in the European Community: the consultation procedure, the cooperation procedure and the codecision procedure.
V Evropski skupnosti obstajajo trije glavni postopki odločanja: postopek posvetovanja, postopek sodelovanja in postopek soodločanja.
All three begin with the submission of a Commission legislative proposal.
V vseh treh postopkih Komisija najprej predloži zakonodajni predlog.
Thereafter, the European Parliament is simply consulted by the Council before the act is adopted (consultation procedure), or cooperates closely in preparing the act adopted by the Council (cooperation procedure) or is joint author of the act with the Council (codecision procedure).
Zatem se Svet le posvetuje z Evropskim parlamentom pred sprejetjem akta (postopek posvetovanja) ali pa s Parlamentom tesno sodeluje pri pripravi akta, ki ga sprejme (postopek sodelovanja), oziroma s Parlamentom akt sooblikuje (postopek soodločanja).
In the context of the cooperation and codecision procedures, the Council, following a first reading of the Commission proposal by the European Parliament, adopts acts called common positions which are sent to the European Parliament so that it can hold a second reading of the draft legislative act.
V postopkih sodelovanja in soodločanja Svet po prvi obravnavi predloga Komisije v Evropskem parlamentu sprejme akt, imenovan ”skupno stališče”, ki se predloži Evropskemu parlamentu, da opravi drugo obravnavo osnutka zakonodajnega akta.
The codecision procedure makes provision for the convening of a Conciliation Committee, composed of representatives of both institutions, in the event of the Council not accepting all the European Parliament’s amendments to the Council’s common position.
Postopek soodločanja predvideva sklic spravnega odbora v sestavi predstavnikov obeh institucij, če Svet ne odobri vseh sprememb skupnega stališča Sveta, ki jih je podal Evropski parlament.
Where the Conciliation Committee reaches agreement, that agreement takes the form of a joint text which, unless rejected, then becomes the legislative act adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council.
Ko spravni odbor doseže soglasje, besedilo postane skupno besedilo, zatem pa – razen v primeru zavrnitve – zakonodajni akt, ki ga skupaj sprejmeta Evropski parlament in Svet.
Second pillar: Common foreign and security policy
Drugi ”steber”: skupna zunanja in varnostna politika
With regard to the common foreign and security policy (CFSP), including the European security and defence policy (ESDP), the Council may, whenever it sees fit, define a common position (not to be confused with common positions in the Community domain under the first pillar) which reflects, for example, the European Union’s approach in a given international situation.
Na področju skupne zunanje in varnostne politike, vključno z evropsko varnostno in obrambno politiko (EVOP), lahko Svet, kadar meni, da je to potrebno, sprejme skupno stališče (ne zamenjajte ga s skupnimi stališči na področju Skupnosti v prvem stebru), ki odraža denimo pristop Evropske unije do določene mednarodne situacije.
It is therefore for Member States to ensure that their national policies are in line with the common positions in question.
Države članice morajo zagotoviti skladnost svojih nacionalnih politik z zadevnimi skupnimi stališči.
The Council may also adopt joint actions (e. g. support for a peace process between third countries in dispute) which bind Member States in the positions they adopt and the measures they take.
Svet lahko sprejme tudi skupni ukrep (na primer podpora mirovnemu procesu med tretjima državama v sporu), ki države članice zavezuje pri sprejemanju stališč in ukrepanju.
Joint actions provide for the means needed to implement them, funding them in particular from the Union’s budget.
V skupnem ukrepu so navedeni ukrepi, potrebni za njegovo izvajanje, zlasti financiranje iz proračuna Unije.
The Treaty of Amsterdam has introduced common strategies, to be decided by the European Council, i.e. the Heads of State or Government.
Z Amsterdamsko pogodbo so bile uvedene skupnestrategije, o katerih odloča Evropski svet, to so voditelji držav ali vlad.
The Council of Ministers implements the common strategies, in particular by adopting joint actions and common positions.
Te strategije izvaja Svet v sestavi ministrov za zunanje zadeve ali ministrov za obrambo držav članic, in sicer zlasti s sprejemanjem skupnih ukrepov in skupnih stališč.
The Council or its Presidency, acting on behalf of the Council, may also make statements expressing the Union’s position on foreign policy matters.
Svet ali njegovo predsedstvo, ki deluje v imenu Sveta, lahko poda tudi izjave, v katerih izraža stališče Unije do vprašanj zunanje politike.
Third pillar: Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters
Tretji ”steber”: policijsko in pravosodno sodelovanje v kazenskih zadevah
In the context of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, Council acts may take the form of: common positions: these define the approach of the Union to a particular matter; decisions: these are adopted in accordance with the objectives of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union, excluding any approximation of the laws and regulations of the Member States.
Akti Sveta, sprejeti v okviru policijskega in pravosodnega sodelovanja v kazenskih zadevah, imajo lahko obliko: skupnih stališč: opredeljujejo pristop Unije do posamezne zadeve; sklepov: sprejmejo se v skladu s cilji naslova VI Pogodbe o Evropski uniji, razen za približevanje zakonov in drugih predpisov držav članic.
Decisions are binding and may not entail direct effect; framework decisions: these are approximate laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States.
Sklepi so zavezujoči in nimajo neposrednega učinka; okvirnih sklepov: približujejo zakone in druge predpise držav članic.
Framework decisions are binding upon the Member States as to the result to be achieved but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods.
Okvirni sklepi so za vsako državo članico zavezujoči glede cilja, ki ga je treba doseči, nacionalnim organom pa prepuščajo izbiro oblike in metod.
They may not entail direct effect; conventions: these are traditional international law instruments (such as conventions on extradition).
Nimajo neposrednega učinka; konvencij: gre za klasične instrumente mednarodnega prava (na primer konvencije o izročitvi).
The Council recommends that the Member States adopt them in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements.
Svet jih priporoči v sprejetje državam članicam v skladu z njihovimi ustavnimi pravili.
The European Commission holds the right of initiative as regards Community questions.
Pri vprašanjih Skupnosti ima pravico pobude Komisija.
As a rule, the European Parliament and the Council are closely involved in decision-making.
Praviloma pri odločanju tesno sodelujeta Evropski parlament in Svet.
The social partners and other interest groups, through the Economic and Social Committee, and local and regional authorities, represented on the Committee of the Regions, are consulted by the Council for certain subjects.
Svet se glede nekaterih vprašanj posvetuje s socialnimi partnerji in drugimi interesnimi skupinami prek Ekonomsko-socialnega odbora ter z lokalnimi in regionalnimi oblastmi, ki so zastopane v Odboru regij.
In the Community domain, a large number of legislative decisions may be taken by the Council by a qualified majority, i.e. a type of majority where the votes of members of the Council are weighted.
Na področju Skupnosti lahko velik del zakonodajnih odločitev sprejme Svet s kvalificirano večino, tj. vrsta večine, pri kateri se glasovi članov Sveta ponderirajo.
In practice, the Council always endeavours to achieve the broadest possible consensus before acting.
V praksi si Svet vedno prizadeva doseči najširše možno soglasje že pred sprejetjem odločitve.
The Treaty of Nice has extended the use of qualified majority voting.
Pogodba iz Nice je glasovanje s kvalificirano večino razširila na več področij.
Quality majority exists where: the majority of Member States vote for the decision; the decision gets at least 255 votes, out of a total of 345 votes.
Kvalificirana večina je dosežena, kadar: za predlog glasuje večina držav članic; je vsaj 255 od skupno 345 glasov za predlog.
Moreover, a Member State may request a check to ascertain whether qualified majority covers at least 62% of the total population of the Union.
Vsaka država članica lahko poleg tega zahteva potrditev, da predstavlja kva-li cirana večina najmanj 62 % celotnega prebivalstva Unije.
If that proves not to be the case, the decision is not adopted.
Če to merilo ni izpolnjeno, predlog ni sprejet.
As regards the common foreign and security policy, and police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the Council is the main decisionmaking body.
Svet je osrednji organ odločanja na področju skupne zunanje in varnostne politike ter na področju policijskega in pravosodnega sodelovanja v kazenskih zadevah.
The Member States and the Commission have a right of initiative.
Države članice in Komisija imajo pravico pobude.
Unlike in the Community domain, in the second and third pillars the rule of unanimity prevails in the Council; however, the implementation of certain decisions may be decided upon by a qualified majority.
V nasprotju s področjem Skupnosti je v drugem in tretjem stebru prevladujoče pravilo v Svetu soglasje; odločitve glede izvajanja nekaterih sklepov se lahko kljub temu sprejmejo s kvalificirano večino.
