In addition, the Constitution strengthens the requirement for the Union to comply withthe principles of subsidiarity and proportionality when exercising its competences; monitoring of that compliance is already a matter for the Member State governments, in the Council, and Parliament.
Ustava poleg tega krepi obveznost Unije, da spoštuje načeli subsidiarnosti in proporcionalnosti pri izvajanju svojih pristojnosti, za katere morajo sicer že jamčiti vlade na ravni Sveta in Evropski parlament.
Although the d e « n i t i on of the s ep r in c i p l e s s e t o uijt b y the C on s t i tffu t i on cffo r r e s p on d s t o t h a t a l r e a d y employed in the Treaties in force, the protocol on the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality provides for new mechanisms to guarantee compliance with those principles, in particular by substantially strengthening the role of the national parliaments.
Čeprav določitev teh načel v Ustavi ustreza opredelitvi v veljavnih pogodbah, protokol o načelih subsidiarnosti in proporcionalnosti predvideva nove mehanizme za zagotavljanje spoštovanja teh načel, zlasti z občutno krepitvijo vloge nacionalnih parlamentov.
Above all, the latter gain the right to be informed in good time of all Commission legislative proposals, which must be duly substantiated as regards compliance withthe principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
Ti pridobijo predvsem pravico do pravočasne obveščenosti o vseh zakonodajnih predlogih Komisije, ki morajo biti utemeljeni z vidika subsidiarnosti in proporcionalnosti.
This provision will enable the national parliaments to exercise more e.ectivelytherightstheyenjoyatnationallevelandwill,inparticular,enhance their ability to in ‹ u en c e the a c t i on s of the i r g o v e r n m en t s in the Council of Ministers.
Zato so sposobni bolje izvajati pravice, ki jih imajo na nacionalni ravni, zlasti pa se poveča njihova sposobnost vplivati na dejavnost njihove vlade na ravni Sveta ministrov.
Moreover, as regards the subsidiarity principle in particular, the national parliaments may, within six weeks following the forwarding of the proposal, send directly to the Union institutions, which must take due account of them, opinions setting out the reasons why they take the view that a proposal is not consistent withthe subsidiarity principle.
Nacionalni parlamenti lahko poleg tega, kar zadeva subsidiarnost, v roku šestih tednov po sporočilu predloga institucijam Unije, ki jih morajo upoštevati, neposredno pošljejo utemeljena mnenja z razlogi, zaradi katerih menijo, da predlog ni v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti.
An `early warning' mechanism even requires the Commission to reconsider its proposal should one-third of the national parliaments consider that the proposal in question does not comply withthe subsidiarity principle.
Mehanizem, imenovan mehanizem „zgodnjega opozarjanja”, obvezuje celo Komisijo, da ponovno pregleda svoj predlog, če tretjina nacionalnih parlamentov meni, da predlog ne spoštuje načela subsidiarnosti.

Ti mehanizmi so dodatna jamstva zoper morebitno nepremišljeno izvajanje pristojnosti Unije in močno prispevajo k poglabljanju demokratičnega nadzora nad zakonodajo Skupnosti.
One of the further welcome features is that the Constitution provides the system withthe requisite degree of ‹exibilitybymeansofaclausesimilarto the current Article 308 TEC, which authorises the Council, should the need arise, to adopt measures in areas where the Union has no explicit competences.
Kot pozitivno lahko poudarimo tudi, da Ustava zagotavlja potrebno prožnost sistema s klavzulo, podobno tisti iz sedanjega člena 308, ki v primeru potrebe dovoljuje Svetu, da sprejme ukrepe na področjih, kjer Unija nima pristojnosti.

Ta klavzula o prožnosti daje državam članicam vsa jamstva: soglasno odločanje, uporaba samo za uresničevanje ciljev, navedenih v Ustavi; postopek njene izvedbe je bolj demokratičen, ker je podvržen odobritvi Evropskega parlamenta in mora biti pravočasno sporočen nacionalnim parlamentom, preden je odločitev sprejeta.
A revamped institutional framework for a stronger, more democratic and more transparent Union
Prenovljen institucionalni okvir za močnejšo, bolj demokratično in preglednejšo Unijo
One of the key questions which the Constitution was required to resolve was that of the changes to be made to the Union institutions in order to enable them to deal withthe new situation resulting from the enlargement, particularly as the Union's institutional organisation has essentially been based on the same structures for almost 50 years, even though the Union's range of tasks has expanded substantially and the number of Member States has increased from six to 25.
Eno bistvenih vprašanj, ki jih je Ustava morala urediti, je bilo vprašanje prilagoditve institucij Unije, da bi jim omogočili, da bi bile kos novemu položaju po širitvi.
Despite the work of a series of Intergovernmental Conferences, the key institutional issues had remained unresolved and the solutions agreed on at Nice were not satisfactory even to some of those who had negotiated them.
Institucionalna organizacija Unije v glavnem namreč še naprej temelji na istih strukturah kot zadnjih skoraj petdeset let, medtem ko ima veliko več nalog in se je število njenih članic s 6 povečalo na 25.
European Parliament
Glavna institucionalna vprašanja so kljub zaporednim medvladnim konferencam ostala odprta in rešitve iz Nice niso zadovoljile nekaterih izmed tistih, ki so se o njih pogajali.
The Constitution substantially enhances the role of the European Parliament, the only European institution which directly represents citizens:
Evropski parlament ni nehal opozarjati javnega mnenja in voditeljev držav članic o potrebi temeljite institucionalne reforme, ki bi Uniji dala učinkovite, demokratične in
- its role as a colegislator is fully recognised, thanks to the general application of the existing codecision procedure, which is elevated to the rank of the ordinary legislative procedure, but also thanks to an increase in Parliament's participation in special legislative procedures.
29 pregledne institucije ter hkrati ohranila institucionalno ravnovesje in metodo Skupnosti: Komisija, ki predlaga, Evropski parlament in Svet, ki odločata, Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti, ki jamči uporabo sprejetih zakonov.
- its budgetary powers, which it shares withthe Council on an equal footing, now extend to all Union expenditure;
(1) Ustava precej krepi vlogo Evropskega parlamenta, edine evropske institucije, ki neposredno predstavlja državljane:
- its powers of political control are enhanced, particularly by means of the election of the President of the Commission;
- njegova vloga sozakonodajalca je v celoti priznana s posplošitvijo sedanjega soodločanja, ki je povzdignjeno na raven običajnega zakonodajnega postopka, vendar tudi s krepitvijo njegove udeležbe v posebnih zakonodajnih postopkih.
- various decisions which are of great importance in the life of the Union and which hitherto have rested solely withthe Council are now also subject to approval by Parliament: the decision to initiate enhanced cooperation; the use of the ‹ e x i b i l i t y c l a u s e en a b l in g the Union t o t a k e measures not provided for in the Constitution in order to attain ends for which it does provide; decisions on the use of the general `bridging clauses' (`passerelles') substituting quali«edmajorityvotingforunanimous voting or replacing special legislative procedures withthe ordinary legislative procedure; certain decisions making it possible to extend the scope of legal bases provided for in the Constitution, such as those concerning the European public prosecutor or judicial cooperation in criminal matters;
Odslej bodo imeli državljani jasno predstavo, da evropski zakon sprejmeta dom, ki jih zastopa, ter tudi dom, ki zastopa države; hkrati postane splošno tudi pravilo soglasje Evropskega parlamenta na področju mednarodnih sporazumov;
- even in the «eldofthecommonforeignandsecuritypolicy,whereithasno powers of decision, the European Parliament acquires a general right to be informed and consulted.
- pridobi pravico do pobude za revizijo Ustave in sodeluje v postopku prek Konvencije (poleg tega je nujno potrebno njegovo soglasje, da se Svet lahko odloči, da ne bo sklical Konvencije);
In conclusion it may be said that, despite certain «eldswhereitmighthavebeen possible to go further, the European Parliament acquires powers of codecision in virtually all areas of Union policy.
- njegove naloge političnega nadzora so poglobljene, zlasti z izvolitvijo predsednika Komisije;
The number of Members of the European Parliament is limited to 750.
V bistvu gre za uresničitev temeljnega pojma dvojne legitimnosti Unije kot zveze držav in državljanov.
The Constitution does not state how the seats are to be distributed among Member States, but instructs the European Council, on the initiative of the European Parliament and with its assent, to decide, before the 2009 elections, what its composition should be, on the basis of the principle of `degressively proportional' representation, with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 96 seats per Member State (the Convention proposed a minimum of 4 and no maximum).
(3) Število članov Evropskega parlamenta je omejeno na 750. Ustava ne predvideva, da sedeže razdeli država članica, temveč na pobudo Evropskega parlamenta in po njegovi odobritvi nalaga Evropskemu svetu, da pred volitvami leta 2009 odloči o tej delitvi na podlagi načela „sorazmerno padajoče” zastopanosti z najnižjim pragom 6 sedežev in najvišjim 96 sedežev na državo članico (Konvencija je predlagala 4 kot najnižji prag in nobenega najvišjega).
This solution will make it possible to respond more ‹exiblytothefuture development of the EU while preserving the interests of each Member State.
Gre za rešitev, ki omogoča lažje prilagajanje prihodnjemu razvoju Unije ob ohranitvi interesov vsake države članice.
The European Council is recognised as an autonomous institution whose role is to impart political impetus: the Constitution expressly states that it is not to perform any legislative functions19.
Evropski svet je priznan kot samostojna institucija, ki daje politični zagon, saj Ustava izrecno omenja, da ne izvaja zakonodajnih nalog19.
A major innovation introduced by the Constitution is the abolition of the rotating Presidency and its replacement with a President elected by the members of the European Council for a term of two and a half years, which may be renewed once.
Pomembna novost Ustave je odprava krožnega predsedstva in njegova nadomestitev s predsednikom, ki ga izvolijo člani Evropskega sveta za obdobje dveh let in pol in ki je lahko enkrat ponovno izvoljen.
The President's duties will be to prepare and direct the work of the European Council and represent the Union externally in order to raise the Union's pro«leandimprovethecontinuityandconsistencyofitsrepresentation,bothinternal and external.
Skrbel bo za pripravo in vodenje dela Evropskega sveta in tudi za zunanje zastopanje Unije, da bi izboljšali prepoznavnost, kontinuiteto in skladnost zastopanja Unije na notranji in zunanji ravni.
Provisions are included to prevent the President from exercising executive powers and to avoid any c on ‹ i c t s withthe P r e s i d en t of the Cffo m m iffs s i on o r the Minister for Foreign A.airs.Onlypracticewillshowwhethertheseprovisionsareadequate.
Namen določb je, da se zagotovi, da predsednik Evropskega sveta ne izvaja izvršilnih nalog, in da se preprečijo morebitni spori s predsednikom Komisije ali ministrom za zunanje zadeve. Samo praksa bo pokazala, ali te določbe zadostujejo.
The key issue was that of the procedure for voting within the Council when it acts by a q u a l i « e d m a jo r i t y .
(1) Ključno vprašanje je povezano s postopkom glasovanja v Svetu, kadar ta odloča s kvalicirano večino.
The f a i l u r e of the B r u s s e l s s u m m i t in D e c e m b e r 2 0 0 3 was partly due to d i . e r en c e s of op in i on b e t w e en M e m b e r S t a t e s on this subject.
Neuspeh vrha v Bruslju decembra 2003 so deloma povzročila razhajanja med državami članicami glede tega
Certainly, the logic of the double majority is far easier to understand than any weighting of votes, but there is a risk that the public may regard the thresholds which have been adopted as rather arbitrary, and above all, the combination of di.erent,complementarycriteria greatly impairs the gains in terms of simpli«cationandcomprehensionof the system21.
Evropski parlament je od začetka medvladne konference vztrajal, da je zanj sprejemljiva rešitev, da se ohrani načelo dvojne večine držav članic in prebivalstva, da bi jasno prišla do izraza dvojna legitimnost, ki izraža zgradbo Unije kot zvezo držav in državljanov, in da nov postopek bolj olajšuje sprejemanje odločitev kot sistem, sprejet v Pogodbi iz Nice.
Often, the same action was intended to pursue contradictory objectives simultaneously, such as preserving a State's own opportunities to block decisions while attempting to reduce the opportunities for others to do so.
(2) Nazadnje je bil sprejet sistem dvojne večine, ki ga je predlagala Konvencija, namesto sistema ponderiranja glasov.
And above all, the whole of this debate was carried on without considering that ultimately the dynamics of Community negotiations are such that votes are very rarely taken. Political realities being what they are, however, Parliament can accept the agreement reached between the Heads of State and of Government, albeit without concealing its regrets.
Kljub dvigu pragov, ki jih je predlagala Konvencija (55 % držav namesto 50 % in 65 % prebivalstva namesto 60 %), lahko upoštevamo tudi, da novi sistem olajšuje sprejemanje odločitev, ker je sistem ponderiranja v veliko kombinacijah zahteval dosti višje pragove prebivalstva za sprejem odločitve in ker je zahteva po najmanj štirih državah članicah za obstoj manjšine, ki lahko prepreči sprejetje odločitve, velikokrat opazno znižala prag 65 %20.
Hence the importance of the question of the «eldofapplicationofquali«edmajority voting.
(3) Nasprotno je napredek glede preglednosti in prepoznavnosti sistema še precej nezadovoljiv ...
The Constitution makes signi«cantprogressinthisregard:there are approximately 45 new cases in which quali«edmajorityistoapplyin various «elds(cf.Annex2).Ontheotherhand,unanimityisstillrequiredin70 cases. While the general direction of the changes can only be regarded as
Seveda je veliko lažje razumeti logiko dvojne večine kot vsako ponderiranje glasov; vendar tvegamo, da bi državljani razumeli pragove kot zelo poljubne; in predvsem dodajanje dopolnilnih meril močno zmanjšuje koristi poenostavljanja in razumevanja sistema21.
Another major improvement made by the Constitution in terms of transparency is the requirement for meetings of the various con«gurationsof the Council to be divided into two parts, depending on whether the Council is acting in a legislative capacity or in other ways, withthe corollary that when it deliberates or votes on legislative acts, the Council meets in public.
Pogosto je bil isti ukrep hkrati povezan s protislovnimi cilji, kot je ohranitev lastnih možnosti preprečitve sprejetja odločitve in želja po zmanjšanju iste možnosti za druge … In predvsem se je med razpravo pozabljalo, da je dinamika pogajanja Skupnosti takšna, da se zelo redko glasuje.
Although it can only be regretted that the Member States did not accept the Convention's proposal, which Parliament was strongly in favour of, that a genuinely separate Legislative Council should be created, it may be considered that the essential aspect of this proposal, which was that meetings should be held in public and that the Council's legislative work should be transparent, has been preserved.
Ker je politična stvarnost takšna, kakršna je, lahko Evropski parlament vendarle sprejme sporazum, ki so ga dosegli voditelji držav in vlad, ne da bi skrival svoje obžalovanje.
T h iffs and the G en e r a l A . a i r s Council are the only two c on « g u r a t i on s of the Council w h o s e e x iffs t en c e iffs p r o v i d e d for by the Constitution, which leaves it to the European Council to decide by a q u a l i « e d m a jo r i t y on the c r e a t i on of other c on « g u r a t i on s .
Ustava dosega pomemben napredek na tem področju: našteli smo okrog 45 novih primerov glasovanja s kvalicirano večino na različnih področjih.
The Member States deviated from the Convention's proposal, ultimately adopting the principle of equal rotation within a system of team Presidencies determined by a decision of the European Council, acting by a quali«edmajority,anditisnotpossibletosee in advance exactly what the real bene«tsofthiswillbe.
Čeprav lahko splošno gibanje ocenimo kot zelo pozitivno, lahko vendarle obžalujemo, da se v nekaterih primerih ni šlo dlje ali da je medvladna konferenca nazadovala v primerjavi s predlogi, ki so bili predmet dobro premišljenega soglasja v Konvenciji (najočitnejši primer je povezan z večletnim finančnim okvirom).
Another of the institutional questions which were at the centre of debate both at the Convention and at the Intergovernmental Conference was the composition of the Commission.
(6) Drugo pomembno izboljšanje, ki ga je Ustava uvedla glede preglednosti, je določba, da morajo biti seje različnih sestav Sveta razdeljene na dva dela glede na to, ali gre za zakonodajno funkcijo ali za druge funkcije, pri čemer mora biti zasedanje Sveta javno, kadar razpravlja ali glasuje o zakonodajnih aktih.
The solution ultimately opted for, with its implementation deferred, deviated from the Convention's proposal, but it corresponds better with political reality and may be considered positive: it makes it possible to respect the new Member States' aspiration to be represented in the Commission during the «rstyearsaftertheiraccession,although in future, after a reasonable lapse of time (2014), the vital reduction in the number of Commissioners (to 2/3 of the number of Member States, which - even in a 27-member EU - would already mean that there were fewer
Čeprav moramo obžalovati, da države članice niso upoštevale predloga Konvencije o oblikovanju pravega samostojnega zakonodajnega Sveta, za kar se je Evropski parlament zelo zavzemal, lahko menimo, da se je ohranil bistveni vidik tega predloga, ki je zagotavljanje obveščanja javnosti o zakonodajni dejavnosti Sveta in njene preglednosti.
Based on a rotation system which preserves equality between Member States, this solution will thus make it possible to contain the size of the Commission within acceptable limits. The frequency of the period when any given Member State will not nominate a Commissioner will be once in every three terms.
Države članice se namreč niso pridružile predlogu Konvencije in nazadnje ohranile načelo enake menjave znotraj sistema skupinskega predsedstva, določenega s sklepom Evropskega sveta, ki odloča s kvalicirano večino, za katerega ne moremo predvideti resničnih koristi.
The Constitution makes important progress regarding the appointment of the President of the Commission, who is in future to be elected by the European Parliament on a proposal by the European Council, acting by a quali«edmajority.
(1) Drugo institucionalno vprašanje, o katerem sta razpravljali Konvencija in medvladna konferenca, je bila sestava Komisije.
This is a further step in the process of imparting political legitimacy to the Commission, particularly as the European Council is required to take account of the elections to the European Parliament. Afterwards, the whole Commission, the President, the Minister for Foreign A.airs,whoisappointedby means of a special procedure (see below), and the Commissioners, selected by the Council in agreement withthe President-designate, will require a vote of approval en bloc by the European Parliament22.
Nazadnje sprejeta rešitev, ki je bila odložena, se oddaljuje od predloga Konvencije, vendar bolje ustreza politični stvarnosti in jo lahko razumemo kot pozitivno: omogoča upoštevanje želje novih držav članic, da bi bile v prvih letih po pristopu zastopane v Komisiji, hkrati pa v še razumnem roku (2014) predvideva nujno potrebno zmanjšanje števila komisarjev (na 2/3 števila držav članic, kar bi celo pri 27-ih državah pomenilo zmanjšanje sedanjega števila komisarjev).
The enhanced role of the President of the Commission should also be noted, particularly as regards the internal organisation of the Commission and the right to demand the resignation of a Commissioner, which should improve the e / c i en c y of the Cffo m m iffs s i on .
Ta rešitev, ki temelji na sistemu menjave, ki ohranja enakost med državami članicami, torej omogoča, da velikost Komisije ostane v sprejemljivih mejah.
Minister for Foreign A.airs
Pogostnost obdobja, ko vsaka država članica ne bo imenovala komisarja, bo enkrat na tri mandate.
One of the main institutional novelties of the Constitution is the creation of the post of Minister for Foreign A . a i r s of the Union ( m e r g in g in a single po s t the pre-existing posts of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Commissioner responsible for external relations), which will correspond to the objective of ensuring that all the external actions of the EU are consistent and have a high p r o « l e .
(2) Ustava prinaša pomemben napredek pri imenovanju predsednika Komisije, ki ga odslej na predlog Evropskega sveta izvoli Evropski parlament, ki odloča s kvalicirano večino.
In s t i tffu t i on a l l y , the Minister w i l l wear two `hats': he will be responsible for conducting the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, for which purpose he will chair the Foreign A . a i r s Council , p r e s en t p r o po s a l s and i m p l e m en t Council d e c iffs i on s , w h i l e a t the same time he will be a Vice-President of the Commission, taking on that institution's responsibilities in the «eldofexternalrelationsandcoordinatingall aspects of the EU's external action.
To je dodaten korak k političnemu legitimiranju Komisije, predvsem ker je Evropski svet dolžan upoštevati volitve v Evropski parlament.
He will be assisted by a European External Action Service composed of o / c i a l s f r o m the Cffo m m iffs s i on , the G en e r a l Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and national diplomatic services, which is to be set up by decision of the Council after consulting the European Parliament and obtaining the approval of the Commission.
Pozneje celotno Komisijo, predsednika, ministra za zunanje zadeve, ki je imenovan po posebnem postopku (glej spodaj), in komisarje, ki jih Svet izbere po dogovoru z imenovanim predsednikom, kot kolegij z glasovanjem potrdi Evropski parlament22.
Thus the Minister will be a member of the Commission, but he will have a special status, re‹ectedintheproceduresforhisappointmentandthepossible ending of his tenure: he will be appointed by the European Council,
(3) Ugotavljamo tudi okrepitev vloge predsednika Komisije, zlasti v zvezi z notranjo organizacijo Komisije in pravico zahtevati odstop komisarja, kar povečuje njeno učinkovitost.
