2009 was the year in which the European Union went through a renewal, in terms both of its institutional architecture and of the focus of its activities.
Za Evropsko unijo je bilo leto 2009 leto preporoda, tako glede institucionalnega ustroja kot usmeritve njenih dejavnosti.
Some of the changes in the institutional framework were very evident.
Nekatere spremembe v institucionalnem okviru so bile zelo opazne.
There was intense discussion throughout the year on the protracted process of ratifying the Lisbon Treaty, with a crucial referendum in Ireland and last-minute challenges in other Member States.
Celo leto so potekale poglobljene razprave o dolgotrajnem postopku ratifikacije Lizbonske pogodbe, glede katere so na Irskem izvedli ključni referendum, v drugih državah članicah pa v zadnjem hipu zahtevali spremembe.
The election of a new European Parliament was, by its nature, a major Europe-wide event.
Volitve poslancev novega Evropskega parlamenta so bile po svoji naravi zelo pomemben vseevropski dogodek.
And wide media and public attention was attracted by the appointment of the next Commission President and of the new Commission, as well as by the decisions on the personalities who would take on the new role of European Council President and the dual role of High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Commission Vice-President.
Veliko medijske pozornosti in pozornosti javnosti so pritegnili imenovanje naslednjega predsednika Komisije in novih komisarjev ter odločitve o tem, kdo naj bi prevzel novo vlogo predsednika Evropskega sveta ter dvojno vlogo visokega predstavnika Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko ter podpredsednika Komisije.
The consequences of change were also evident.
Vidne so bile tudi posledice teh sprememb.
As uncertainties over the treaty were resolved, new institutional arrangements came into effect, allowing purposeful planning of a new phase in the management of EU affairs.
Ko so bile negotovosti v zvezi s Pogodbo odpravljene, se je začela uporabljati nova institucionalna ureditev, ki je omogočila smotrno načrtovanje nove faze upravljanja evropskih zadev.
But other changes, not all of them so obvious, were also important.
Pomembne so bile tudi druge spremembe, med katerimi pa niso vse tako očitne.
During the year, the EU institutions took new steps to reflect the interests and ambitions of its citizens and Member States through simplifying existing legislation, analysing more profoundly the justification for new legislation and providing easier and more coherent information about the way the EU works.
Institucije EU so med letom sprejele nove ukrepe, da bi se odzvale na interese in ambicije državljanov in držav članic s poenostavitvijo obstoječe zakonodaje, temeljitejšim analiziranjem utemeljitev za novo zakonodajo ter zagotovitvijo dostopnejših in skladnejših informacij o načinu delovanja Unije.
The cumulative effect of the numerous discussions and decisions was a new degree of efficiency, openness and democratic accountability in EU affairs.
Skupni učinek vseh teh številnih razprav in odločitev se je pokazal v novi stopnji učinkovitosti, odprtosti ter demokratične odgovornosti v zadevah Unije.
CHANGESIN THEINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
SPREMEMBE VINSTITUCIONALNEM OKVIRU
Some of the changes the institutions underwent in 2009 were part of the regular routine of the EU — the European Parliament elections and the preparations for a new Commission.
Nekatere izmed sprememb v institucijah leta 2009 so bile del ustaljenega delovanja Unije, in sicer volitve v Evropski parlament in priprave za novo Komisijo.
But ratification of the Lisbon Treaty — and filling the new posts it has created — was the culmination of a process with its own unique history, dating back to when the EU had only 15 Member States.
Z ratifikacijo Lizbonske pogodbe – in dogovarjanjem o kandidatih za nove položaje, ki jih je ustvarila – pa se je zaključil proces, ki ima edinstveno zgodovino in se je začel, ko je imela EU le 15 držav članic.
