At the close of this conference, the EU’s presidents and prime ministers intendto sign a new and simplified Treaty for the EU.
Na koncu tekonference bodo voditelji in predsedniki vladdržav EU podpisali novo, poenostavljenopogodbo o Evropski uniji.
The aim is to spell out much moreclearly what the European Union is andwhere it is going.
Cilj te pogodbe jebolj jasno opredeliti, kaj Evropska unija je inkam je namenjena.
The Treaty will also setout the new rules for more streamlineddecision-making.
Pogodba bo določila tudinova pravila za lažji potek odločanja.
But wider questions about the EU’s futurealso need to be addressed.
Vendar pa je treba postaviti tudi širša vprašanja v zvezi s prihodnostjo EU. Na primer:
• what are the aims and objectives of theenlarged Union?
•Kateri so cilji in naloge razširjene Unije?
(In other words, whatdo the member states want to achievetogether in future?)
(Zdrugimi besedami, kaj želijo države članiceskupaj doseči v prihodnosti?)
• what common policies will be needed toachieve those objectives?
•Katere skupne politike bo treba uvesti zadosego teh ciljev?
• what should be decided at EU level andwhat should be left to the national orregional authorities?
Evropske ustanove že zdaj izvajajo večje notranje reforme, da bi postale bolj učinkovite,odprte in odgovorne.
• what role should national parliamentsplay in EU decision-making?
•Kakšno vlogo naj imajo nacionalni parlamenti pri odločanju v EU?
In short, who should be responsible fordoing what and how should democraticdecisions be made in a Union of 27 ormore countries with half a billion citizens?
Na kratko, kdo naj bo za kaj odgovoren inkako naj se sprejemajo demokratične odločitve v Uniji 27 ali več držav s pol milijardedržavljanov?
To debate these and other issues, a Convention was set up in 2002, bringingtogether representatives of all the memberstates and candidate countries as well asthe EU institutions.
Da bi razpravljali o teh in drugih zadevah, jebila leta 2002 ustanovljena Konvencija, kjerso zbrani predstavniki držav članic in državkandidatk ter ustanov EU.

As the EU faces the future, it must decide where itis going and how to get there.
EU se sooča s prihodnostjo in mora se odločiti, kamgre in kako bo tja prišla.
Its people,— in particular its young people, need to be moreclosely involved in those decisions.
Njeni ljudje – predvsemmladi – morajo pri teh odločitvah tesneje sodelovati.
A citizen’s guide to the EU institutions
Kako deluje Evropska unija
‘European documentation’ series
Vodnik po ustanovah EU za državljane
In just half a century, the European Union (EU) has achieved remarkable things.
V pol stoletja je Evropska unija (EU) veliko dosegla.
It has delivered peace between its member states and prosperity for its citizens.
Svojim državam članicam je zagotovila mir,državljanom pa blaginjo.
It has created a single European currency (the euro) and a frontierfree ‘single market’ where goods, people, servicesand capital move around freely.
Uvedla je enotno evropsko valuto (evro) in “enotni trg” brez meja, kjerse lahko prosto gibljejo dobrine, ljudje, storitve in kapital.
The EU has grown from six to fifteen countries and it is preparing to embrace a dozen more.
EU je zrasla iz šestih na petnajst članic in se pripravlja na sprejem dvanajstih novih.
It has become a major trading power and a world leader in fieldssuch as environmental protection and development aid.
Postala je trgovska velesila in v svetu prevzelavodilno vlogo na področjih, kot sta varstvo okolja in pomoč za razvoj.
The EU’s success owes a lot to the way it works — its unique method of interaction betweeninstitutions such as the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission, supported by a number of agencies.
K uspehu EU je veliko pripomogel njen način delovanja – njen edinstven način sodelovanja medustanovami, kot so Evropski parlament, Svet in Evropska komisija, ki jim stoje ob strani številneagencije.
This booklet gives a comprehensive overview of what each institution or agency does and howit is organised.
Ta knjižica daje izčrpen pregled nalog in organizacije vsake ustanove in agencije.
The aim is to provide a helpful guide to the EU’s decisionmaking system.
Cilj je ponuditikoristen vodnik po sistemu odločanja EU.

Komisija skrbi za pravilno izvedbo odloči­tev EU in nadzoruje, kako se porabljajo sredstva EU.
The European Parliament (EP) is the democratic voice of the peoplesof Europe.
Ko se v Evropski uniji sprejmejo skupni predpisi, je seveda bistvene­ga pomena, da jih tudi izvajajo ­ in da jih povsod pojmujejo enako.
Directly elected every five years, the members of the European Parliament (MEPs) sit not in national blocs but in sevenpolitical groups.
To zagotavlja Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti, ki rešuje spore glede raz­lage pogodb in zakonodaje EU.
Each group reflects the political ideology of thenational parties to which its members belong.
Kadar so nacionalna sodišča v dvo­mu, kako uporabljati predpise EU, se morajo obrniti na sodišče ES.
Some MEPs are notattached to any political group.
Tudi fizične osebe lahko na Sodišču sprožijo pravni postopek proti institucijam EU.
In the European election of June1999, nearly 30 % of the MEPs elected were women.
Sodišče ES s sedežem v Luxembourgu sestavlja po en neodvisen sodnik ¡z vsake države članice.
It drafts proposals for new European laws, which it presents to the European Parliament and the Council.
Evropski parlament (EP) je demokratični glas evropskih narodov.
The Commission makes surethat EU decisions are properly implemented and supervises the way EU funds are spent.
Vsaka izraža politični nazor nacionalnih strank, ki jim pripadajo njeni člani.
It also keeps an eye out to see that everyoneabides by the European treaties and European law.
Nekateri člani evropskega parla­menta ne pripadajo nobeni politični skupini.
The Bank lends money for investment projects of European interest,in particular projects that benefit less well-off regions.
Svet Evropske unije - nekdaj poznan kot Svet ministrov - je glavni zakonodajni organ in organ odločanja v EU.
It finances,for example, rail links, motorways, airports, environmental schemes,and (via partner banks) investment by small businesses (SMEs) thathelps create jobs and growth.
V njem so zbrani pred­stavniki vlad vseh držav članic, izvoljeni na državni ravni.
Loans also support the Union’s enlargement process and its development aid policy.
To je mes­to, na katerem predstavniki vlad lahko zagovarjajo svoje interese in sklepajo kompromise.
The Bank is based in Luxembourg and raises its funds on the capital markets.As a non-profit organisation it is able to lend on favourable terms.
Redno se sestajajo na ravni delovnih skupin, veleposlanikov, ministrov ali pa - kadar odločajo o pomembnih po­litičnih smernicah - na ravni predsednikov držav ali vlad, kar se ime­nuje Evropski svet.
When common rules are decided in the EU, it is of course vital thatthey are also followed in practice — and that they are understood inthe same way everywhere.
Med takšne projekte sodijo železniške povezave, avtoceste, letališča, okoljevarstveni programi in (s pomoč­jo partnerskih bank) investicije v mala in srednje velika podjetja.
This is what the Court of Justice of the European Communities ensures.
S tem spodbuja ustvarjanje novih delovnih mest in rast.
It settles disputes over how the EUtreaties and legislation are interpreted.
Posojila pod­pirajo tudi širitveni proces Unije ter njeno politiko razvojne pomoči.
If national courts are indoubt about how to apply EU rules they must ask the Court of Justice.
Banka ima sedež v Luxembourgu, sredstva pa pridobiva na kapital­skih trgih.
Individual persons can also bring proceedings against EUinstitutions before the Court.

The European Commission consists of 20 women and men (more in2004), assisted by about 24 000 civil servants.
Poleg tega je Svet najbolj odgovoren za drugi in tretji steber, to je za medvladno sodelovanje na področjih skupne zunanje in varnostne politike, sodstva in notranjih zadev.
The President is chosen by the governments of the EU Member States and must beapproved by the European Parliament.
Vlade držav članic se, na primer, v EU skupaj borijo proti terorizmu in nedovoljeni trgovini z mamili.
The other members are nominated by the member governments in consultation with theincoming president and must also be accepted by Parliament.

Many decisions taken in the EU have direct implications at the localand regional level.
Veliko odločitev, ki jih sprejme EU, se neposredno odraža na lokal­ni in regionalni ravni.
Through the Committee of the Regions, local andregional authorities are consulted before the EU takes decisions in fields such as education, health, employment or transport.
Preden EU sprejme odločitve na različnih pod­ročjih, kot so izobraževanje, zdravstvo, zaposlovanje ali promet, se Odbor regij posvetuje z lokalnimi in regionalnimi oblastmi.
The Committee’s 222 members (more in 2004) are often leaders of regions or mayors of cities.
Odbor ima 222 članov (leta 2004 jih bo več), ki so pogosto voditelji regij ali župani mest.

Banka samostojno odloča o evropski denarni politiki, kot na primer o višini obrestnih mer.
The Bank’smain objective is to ensure price stability, so that the European economy will not be damaged by inflation.
Glavni cilj Evropske centralne banke je zagotoviti stabilne cene in preprečiti, da bi Evrop­sko unijo prizadela inflacija.

MANJ MEJA: VEČ DELOVNIH MESTI
War between EU countries is now unthinkable, thanks to the unitythat has been built up between them over the last 50 years.
Zaradi enotnosti, ki jo države članice krepijo že 50 let, je vojna med njimi danes nekaj nepredstavljivega.
Giventhis success, the EU is now increasingly involved in preserving peaceand creating stability in neighbouring countries.
Ta uspeh je spodbudil EU, da si danes čedalje bolj prizadeva za ohranjanje miru in stabilnosti v so­sednjih državah.
Pollution has no respect for national frontiers.
Onesnaževanje se ne ustavi na državnih mejah.
That is why the European Union has a special role to play in environmental protection.Many environmental problems in Europe could not be tackledwithout joint action by all EU countries.
Zato ima Evropska unija posebno vlogo na področju varstva okolja. Mnogo okoljskih vprašanj ni mogoče rešiti brez skupnega prizadevanja vseh držav EU.
The European Union (EU) is a family of democratic European countries,committed to working together for peace and prosperity.
Evropska unija (EU) je družina demokratičnih evropskih držav, ki si skupaj prizadevajo za mir in blaginjo.
It is not a State intended to replace existing states, but it is more than anyother international organisation.
EU ni država, ki bi nadomes­tila obstoječe države, temveč je več kot katera koli mednarodna or­ganizacija.
The EU is, in fact, unique.
EU je v resnici edinstvena.
