A stronger voice for Europe
Večja veljava za Evropo
The euro is also used as a reference currency by around 40 countries, particularly neighbouring countries or those which have special institutional arrangements with the EU, for example candidates for membership.
Evro se kot referenčna valuta uporablja v približno 40 državah, še posebej v sosednjih državah in tistih, ki imajo z EU posebne institucionalne dogovore, na primer v kandidatkah za članstvo.
Many people outside the euro area use the euro as a parallel currency, for example for their savings.
Veliko ljudi izven območja evra ga uporablja kot vzporedno valuto, na primer za svoje prihranke.
This usage is estimated at around €70 billion.
Uporaba v takšne namene je ocenjena na okoli 70 milijard evrov.

Vse nove države članice EU bodo v pravem času uvedle evro – kar bo obseg in pomembnost območja evra v svetu še povečalo.
All the new EU Member States will adopt the euro when the time is right – increasing the size of the euro area and its importance in the world still further.

“This is not only because of the economic strength of the euro area, but also because more trade is done in euro, and countries around the world are holding euro as a reserve currency.
To nile posledica gospodarske moči območja evra, ampak tudi večjega trgovanja v evrih in ker države po svetu evro uporabljajo kot valuto svojih rezerv.
The euro is giving the EU a stronger voice in world affairs and the global economy.
Evro omogoča EU večjo veljavo v svetovnih zadevah in v globalnem gospodarstvu.
So more and more we see EU institutions present at international gatherings, as the single currency increasingly demands a single voice on economic matters for the euro area and the EU.”
Vse bolj opažamo prisotnost ustanov EU na mednarodnih sestankih, saj enotna valuta vedno bolj zahteva enotno mnenje o gospodarskih zadevah iz območja evra in EU.”

The euro area is the largest trading power in the world.
Območje evra je največja trgovinska sila na svetu.
By 2006, the euro area accounted for over 13% of world trade, slightly more than the United States.
V letu 2006 je delež območja evra znašal več kot 13% svetovne trgovine, kar je nekoliko več od deleža Združenih držav Amerike.
The euro is estimated to have increased trade between the euroarea countries by between 5% and 15% – and this is expected to increase even more.
Ocenjeno je, da je trgovina med državami območja evra zaradi evra narasla za 5 do 15% – pričakujemo pa še nadaljnjo rast.
Because of its weight in world trade, the euro is now used extensively for invoicing and settling international trade transactions.
Zaradi svoje teže v svetovni trgovini se evro danes na široko uporablja za izdajanje računov in izvajanje mednarodnih trgovinskih transakcij.
“It was when the euro came that our sales abroad really took off.The risks and costs of dealing in several currencies simply disappeared and we became more competitive.
Ko smo uvedli evro, je naša prodaja izven Španije resnično pričela cveteti.Tveganja in stroški poslovanja v različnih valutah so preprosto izginili in tako smo postali konkurenčnejši.
Today, over 80% of our business goes for export, mostly to the euro area.
Danes več kot 80%proizvodnje izvozimo, večino v območje evra.
A customer can see our tiles in a shop in Helsinki and know that they are available quickly and at the right price, now and in the future.

United in diversity
Združeni v različnosti
Recent surveys show that the euro is one of the things that EU citizens most closely associate with the idea of the European Union, second only to freedom of movement to travel, study and work.
Oblika evra predstavlja Evropo, “združeno v različnosti”.
It rates particularly highly in the euroarea countries themselves, where almost half of all citizens say the euro is what they most associate with the EU.
Vsaka država območja evra ima kovance s svojimi nacionalnimi motivi, ki odsevajo njeno lastno nacionalno zgodovino in kulturo, medtem ko so evrobankovci poslikani s centralno izdelanimi motivi, ki predstavljajo skupno zgodovino Evrope skozi spreminjajoče se arhitekturne stile preteklih stoletij.

Madžarsko in Balkanom se nahajamo resnično v srcu Evrope in smo odprti za svoje sosede – saj nas je navsezadnje le 2 milijona.
In the space of a century we’ve been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and ofYugoslavia, but still we’ve kept our own identity and language.
V preteklem stoletju smo bili del Avstro-Ogrske in Jugoslavije, pa vendar smo uspeli obdržati svojo identiteto in jezik.
Economic and Monetary Union has brought closer co-operation and more dialogue between the member countries of the European Union.
Ekonomska in monetarna unija je prinesla tesnejše sodelovanje in več dialoga med državami članicami Evropske unije.
It is also a huge step forward in the process of European integration.
Je tudi velik korak naprej v procesu evropske integracije.
As former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl said in 2002, “The introduction of the euro is not only an important decision for the European Union; it is an important turning point in European history.
Kot je dejal nekdanji nemški kancler Helmut Kohl leta 2002: “Uvedba evra nile pomembna odločitev za Evropsko unijo, je pomemben preobrat v evropski zgodovini.
The single European currency has made European integration irreversible.”
Zaradi enotne evropske valute v procesu evropske integracije ni več poti nazaj.”
“So we know that we can be part of something larger and still be ourselves.
Tako že vemo, da smo lahko del nečesa večjega in še vedno ostanemo samosvoji.
I feel proud that we not only joined the EU so soon after becoming independent in 1991, but were then the first of the‘new Europeans’to adopt the euro in 2007.
Ponosen sem, da smo se kmalu po osamosvojitvi leta 1991 ne samo pridružili EU, ampak da smo bili prvi od“novih Evropejcev”, ki so sprejeli evrov letu 2007.
For me, the euro represents all the opportunities the EU offers.
Zame evro predstavlja vse priložnosti, ki jih ponuja EU.
And we still feel like the euro is our own national currency as well as Europe’s.
Še vedno čutimo, da je evro tako naša nacionalna valuta kot tudi evropska.

Predgovor olitika konkurence, ki jo vodi Evropska komisija, neposredno vpliva na vsakdanje življenjedržavljanov Evropske unije.

P letalski prevoz in možnost nakupa avtomobila v tisti državi EU, kjer so cene najnižje.
Other, less visible, areas of Community competition policy alsoproduce positive effects for the public.
Druga, manjopazna področja skupne politike konkurence imajo prav tako ugodne učinke za državljane.
For example, merger control ensures a diversity of mass-market consumer goods and low prices for the final consumer.
Naprimer, nadzor nad združitvami podjetij, ki zagotavlja končnemu porabniku raznoliko ponudbo blagaza množično potrošnjo in nizke cene.
Likewise, by contributing to economic and social cohesion, the monitoring of State aid helps to promote viable anddurable jobs throughout the Union.
Enako je z nadzorom nad državno pomočjo, ki pomagaodpirati donosna in trajna delovna mesta po vsej Uniji, s tem da prispeva k ekonomski in socialnipovezanosti.
Whether they be consumers, savers, users of public services,employees or taxpayers, the Union’s citizens enjoy the fruits of the competition policy in thevarious aspects of their everyday life.
Državljani Unije; potrošniki, varčevalci, porabniki javnih storitev, zaposleni alidavkoplačevalci so vsak dan v različnih oblikah deležni plodov politike konkurence.
The competition policy implemented by the Commission and by the Member States’ authoritiesand law courts aims to preserve and develop a state of effective competition in the commonmarket by impacting on the structure of markets and the conduct of market players. Requiringfirms to compete with each other fosters innovation, reduces production costs, increaseseconomic efficiency and, consequently, enhances the competitiveness of the European economy,particularly vis-à-vis its main trading partners.
Namen politike konkurence, ki je v rokah Komisije, držav članic in sodišč, je obvarovati in razvijatikonkurenčni boj na skupnem trgu, z vplivanjem na strukturo trgov in obnašanje tržnih akterjev.Medsebojno tekmovanje podjetij spodbuja inovacije, zmanjšuje proizvodne stroške, povečujegospodarsko učinkovitost in s tem krepi konkurenčnost evropskega gospodarstva, še zlasti gledena njegove glavne trgovske partnerje.
Firms stimulated by competition thus offer productsand services which are competitive in terms of price and quality.
Konkurenčni boj spodbuja podjetja h konkurenčni ponudbiizdelkov in storitev, glede na ceno, kot kakovosi.
These competitive products and services are of benefit initially to downstream firms, which gainin terms of efficiency and are able to pass the improved productivity on through their ownproduction processes.
Konkurenčni izdelki in storitve koristijo najprej podjetjem v vmesnih fazah procesa, ki tako povečajosvojo učinkovitost in so zmožna večjo storilnost prenesti naprej v svoje proizvodne procese.
The liberalisation of network industries, for example, has in the first placeimproved the competitiveness of European industry, which has benefited from more efficient andless expensive transport, telecommunications and energy services.
Naprimer, liberalizacija omrežij je najprej povečala konkurenčnost evropske industrije, ki je imela koristiod učinkovitejših in cenejših prevoznih, telekomunikacijskih in energetskih storitev.
The propagation of thecompetitive process thus helps to consolidate the industrial fabric of the internal market and, in so doing, provides clear back-up to employment policies.
Širjenjekonkurenčnega procesa tako pomaga krepiti industrijsko tkivo notranjega trga in s tem neposrednopodpira politiko zaposlovanja.
Secondly, greater competition allows the consumer to choose from a wider range of productsand services at lower prices. Thus, the same policy of liberalisation has had concrete effects forusers in terms of lower prices and access to new services.
Nadalje, večja konkurenca omogoča porabniku večjo izbiro izdelkov in storitev po nižjih cenah.Tako je ista politika liberalizacije uporabnikom konkretno prinesla nižje cene in dostop do novihstoritev.
A recent study has shown that sometelephone charges have fallen by 35 %.
Nedavna raziskava je pokazala, da so se nekateri telefonski stroški znižali za 35 %.
The European Commission has exclusive power to monitor the State aid granted by the Member States’ public authorities.
Evropska komisija opravlja izključni nadzor nad državno pomočjo, ki jo podeljujejo javni organi državčlanic.
Aid is in principle prohibited by the Treaty if, by favouring certain firms,it is liable to cause damage to their competitors in other Member States, which in some casesmight go as far as to jeopardise their very survival and, consequently, the jobs of their
Pogodba načeloma prepoveduje pomoč, če lahko z dajanjem ugodnosti določenimpodjetjem povzroči škodo njihovim tekmecem v drugih državah članicah, kar gre lahko v nekaterihprimerih tako daleč, da ogrozi celo njihov obstoj in s tem zaposlitev njihovih delavcev.
In some cases, State aid merely leads to activities which no longer meet the requirements of economic efficiency being maintained artificially, or to competition with efficient firms in the same sector being distorted.
V nekaterih primerih vodi državna pomoč samo do tega, da se dejavnosti, ki že dolgo neizpolnjujejo zahtev po gospodarski učinkovitosti, umetno ohranjajo pri življenju, ali do nepoštenekonkurence učinkovitim podjetjem v istem sektorju.
Public aid sometimes has a purely placebo effect on firms in difficulty.
Včasih deluje javna pomoč na podjetja vtežavah kot blažev žegen.
For example, 30 % of assisted firms in the former German Democratic Republichad closed down within two years of receiving aid.
Na primer, v nekdanji Demokratični republiki Nemčiji je v dveh letih poprejemu pomoči propadlo 30 % subvencioniranih podjetij.
