The occasion was marked by a ceremony in the City of Lisbon organised jointly by the Portuguese government, the Swedish Presidency and the European Commission.
Slovesnost ob tej priložnosti so v Lizboni skupno organizirali portugalska vlada, švedsko pred- sedstvo in Evropska komisija.
The President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, the incoming President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, all took part in the ceremony along with other dignitaries.
Jerzy Buzek, predsednik Evropskega parlamenta, Herman Van Rompuy, prihodnji predsednik Evropskega sveta, in José Manuel Barroso, predsednik Evropske komisije, so prisostvovali slovesnosti skupaj z drugimi dostojanstveniki.
President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso said, ‘The Treaty of Lisbon puts citizens at the centre of the European project.
José Manuel Barroso, predsednik Evropske komisije, je dejal:„Lizbonska pogodba postavlja državljane v središče evropskega projekta.
I’m delighted that we now have the right institutions to act and a period of stability, so that we can focus all our energy on delivering what matters to our citizens.’
Navdušen sem, da imamo ustrezne institucije za ukrepanje in smo v obdobju stabilnosti, da se lahko povsem posvetimo temu, kar je za državljane najpomembnejše.“
The final stage of ratification came with the signature of the President of the Czech Republic on 3 November, some 22 months after the treaty was signed by the Heads of State or Government of the 27 Member States, and some 20 months after its first ratification by a Member State.
Zadnja faza ratifikacije je nastopila, ko je Lizbonsko pogodbo 3. novembra podpisal predsednik Češke republike, približno 22 mesecev po tem, ko so jo podpisali predsedniki držav ali vlad vseh 27 držav članic, in približno 20 mesecev po tem, ko jo je ratificirala prva država članica.
The treaty has provided the EU with updated institutions and optimised working methods to tackle the challenges of a rapidly evolving world, reinforcing democracy and the EU’s capacity to promote the interests of its citizens.
Pogodba je EU dala sodobno institucionalno ureditev ter učinkovit in uspešen način dela pri spopadanju z izzivi hitro spreminjajočega se sveta, obenem pa je okrepila demokracijo in sposobnost Unije za uveljavljanje interesov državljanov.
At the beginning of 2009, all but four Member States — the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland and Poland — had completed their national ratification procedures.
V začetku leta 2009 so razen Češke, Nemčije, Irske in Poljske nacionalne postopke ratifikacije opravile vse druge države članice.
In September, Germany finalised the process, after a constitutional court ruling in June and the adoption of additional federal legislation in the summer.
Nemčija je postopek zaključila septembra po junijski odločbi ustavnega sodišča in sprejetju dodatne zvezne zakonodaje med poletjem.
In Ireland, the only Member State constitutionally required to hold a referendum, voters endorsed it in October with a turnout of 58 % and a ‘Yes’ vote of 67 % after an earlier referendum had rejected it in 2008.
Na Irskem, ki je edina država članica, v kateri je izvedba referenduma določena z ustavo, so Pogodbo na prejšnjem referendumu, izvedenem leta 2008, zavrnili. Ponovnega referenduma, ki je bil izveden oktobra, se je udeležilo 58 % volivcev in 67 % jih je Pogodbo podprlo.
In preparation for a second referendum, the Irish government sought reassurances on matters that were of particular concern to Irish citizens.
Med pripravami na drugi referendum si je irska vlada prizadevala pridobiti zagotovila v zvezi z zadevami, ki so za irske državljane posebej pomembne.
These were provided by the June European Council (2).
Ta zagotovila so bila pripravljena na junijskem zasedanju Evropskega sveta (2).
In a referendum in Ireland in October, voters endorsed the Lisbon Treaty with a turnout of 58 % and a ‘Yes’ vote of 67 %.
Oktobrskega referenduma o Lizbonski pogodbi na Irskem se je udeležilo 58 % volivcev in 67 % jih je Pogodbo podprlo.
What does the Lisbon Treaty change?
Kaj se spremeni z Lizbonsko pogodbo?
4Citizens get a stronger voice in decision-making — including, for the first time, a direct say in EU law-making: a new ‘citizens’ initiative’ allows them to raise issues of wide public concern.
Državljanom daje več besede pri odločanju, kar prvič vključuje neposredno sodelovanje pri sprejemanju zakonodaje EU: z novo„državljansko pobudo“ lahko sprožajo vprašanja širšega javnega pomena.
National parliaments have the opportunity for more input into EU decision-making, and more checks on which matters the EU should deal with, through early consultation on proposed EU legislation.
Nacionalni parlamenti imajo z zgodnjim posvetovanjem o zakonodajnih predlogih Evropske unije več priložnosti za neposredno vplivanje na odločitve na ravni EU in lahko večkrat preverijo zadeve, ki bi jih morala obravnavati Unija.
The EU law-making process is opened up to greater public scrutiny: the Council of Ministers must meet in public when deciding on new legislation.
Postopek sprejemanja zakonodaje na ravni EU je dostopnejši javnosti: ob odločanju o novi zakonodaji morajo biti zasedanja Sveta javna.
And MEPs, the citizens’ directly elected representatives, have more say on EU laws and its budget, as additional subjects are brought into the co-decision procedure that requires European Parliament involvement.
Evropski poslanci, ki jih državljani neposredno izvolijo, pa so dobili večjo moč odločanja o zakonih Evropske unije in njenem proračunu, saj se postopek soodločanja, v katerega je vključen Evropski parlament, uporablja za dodatna področja.
4At the same time, the EU itself gets a new legal status. Its decision-making covers more fields than before, and EU decision-making procedures are streamlined.
EU je istočasno dobila nov pravni status, odločitve se sprejemajo na več področjih kot doslej, postopki odločanja Unije pa so racionalizirani.
The Council will adopt decisions by qualied majority voting — instead of unanimity — on important new areas, such as fighting climate change, energy security and emergency aid, making action faster and more ecient.
Svet bo na pomembnih novih področjih, kot so boj proti podnebnim spremembam, zanesljivost oskrbe z energijo in nujna pomoč, odločitve namesto soglasno sprejemal s kvalificirano večino, kar bo pripomoglo k hitrejšemu ter učinkovitejšemu ukrepanju.
Decisions of the Council must, from 2014, be backed by at least 15 Member States, representing at least 55 % of EU countries and 65 % of the EU population.
Odločitve Sveta bo moralo po letu 2014 podpreti vsaj 15 držav, ki bodo predstavljale vsaj 55 % držav članic EU in vsaj 65 % evropskega prebivalstva.
4The institutions that run the EU’s aairs are modied and processes are made more democratic.
Institucije, ki vodijo delovanje EU, so posodobljene, postopki pa so bolj demokratični.
The European Council elects a President of the European Council for a term of two-and-a-half years to bring additional visibility and consistency to EU actions.
Evropski svet izvoli predsednika Evropskega sveta za dvoinpolletni mandat, s čimer delovanje Unije pridobi večjo prepoznavnost in skladnost.
A High Representative for Foreign Aairs and Security Policy, who is also a Vice–President of the Commission, promotes EU action internationally and defends its interests and values abroad, backed by a new External Action Service of diplomats and ocials.
Visoki predstavnik Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko, ki je obenem tudi podpredsednik Komisije, krepi delovanje EU na mednarodnem prizorišču ter varuje njene interese in vrednote v tujini, pomaga pa mu služba za zunanje delovanje, sestavljena iz diplomatov in uradnikov.
The treaty also conrms the European Parliament’s right to elect the President of the Commission proposed by the European Council.
Evropski parlament ima s Pogodbo pravico do izvolitve predsednika Komisije, ki ga predlaga Evropski svet.
4The euro is conrmed as the EU’s currency.
S Pogodbo je potrjeno, da je evro valuta EU.
4The EU’s international role is conrmed in contributing to peace and security and in promoting its values of sustainable development, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, the eradication of poverty, the protection of human rights and respect for international law.
Potrjena je mednarodna vloga Unije pri prispevanju k miru in varnosti ter širjenju vrednot trajnostnega razvoja, solidarnosti in spoštovanja med narodi, proste in pravične trgovine, odprave revščine, varstva človekovih pravic ter spoštovanja mednarodnega prava.
4The EU’s role is extended beyond peacekeeping, conict prevention and strengthening international security, to include disarmament operations, military advice and assistance, and helping to restore stability after conicts.
Okrepljena vloga Unije ni več omejena le na ohranjanje miru, preprečevanje konfliktov in krepitev mednarodne varnosti, ampak vključuje tudi razoroževanje, vojaško svetovanje in pomoč ter pomoč pri obnovi stabilnosti po konfliktih.
4The EU’s ability to fight international crossborder crime, illegal immigration and the tracking of people, arms and drugs is strengthened, with bigger roles for the European Parliament and the Court of Justice.
Sposobnost EU za boj proti mednarodnemu čezmejnemu kriminalu, nezakonitemu priseljevanju ter trgovanju z ljudmi, orožjem in prepovedanimi drogami je okrepljena, pri tem pa imata večji vlogi Evropski parlament in Sodišče Evropske unije.
4EU social objectives are intensied, all EU policies and actions must take into account the promotion of a high level of employment, and key utilities are recognised as of public interest.
Socialni cilji EU so dobili večji pomen, v vseh politikah in ukrepih Unije je treba skrbeti za višjo raven zaposlenosti, ključnim javnim storitvam pa je priznan javni pomen.
4Promoting sustainable development, tackling climate change, developing sustainable energy and ensuring that the energy market functions well become priorities.
Spodbujanje trajnostnega razvoja, boj proti podnebnim spremembam, razvoj trajnostne oskrbe z energijo ter zagotavljanje dobrega delovanja energetskega trga so prednostne naloge.
4Legal force is given to the rights and freedoms in the Charter of Fundamental Rights as regards EU legislation — personal data protection, the right to asylum, equality before the law and non-discrimination, equality between men and women, the rights of children and elderly people, protection against unfair dismissal and access to social security and social assistance.
Pravice in svoboščine iz Listine o temeljnih pravicah – varovanje osebnih podatkov, pravica do azila, enakost pred zakonom in nediskriminacija, enakost moških in žensk, pravice otrok in starejših, zaščita pred nezakonito odpovedjo delovnega razmerja ter dostop do socialne varnosti in socialne pomoči – so postale pravno zavezujoče kot del evropske zakonodaje.
The Union will also accede to the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Unija bo tudi pristopila k Evropski konvenciji o varstvu človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin.
Later in October, Poland concluded the ratication of the treaty, as President Lech Kaczyński signed it.
Poljska je ratifikacijo Pogodbe zaključila oktobra, ko jo je podpisal predsednik Lech Kaczyński.
Czech President Václav Klaus signed the ratication instrument on 3 November,
Češki predsednikVáclav Klaus je listino o ratifikaciji podpisal 3. novembra, potem
3) made a declaration after the European Council at the end of October ( conrming a future extension to the Czech Republic of the opt-out that the UK and Poland secured on the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
) izjavil, da bo klavzula o izvzetju glede uporabe Listine o temeljnih pravicah EU poleg Združenega kraljestva in Poljske veljala tudi za Češko.
This will, like the reassurances given to Ireland, take the form of a protocol that will be ratied alongside the next accession treaty.
To in zagotovila, posredovana Irski, bodo dodana v obliki protokola, ki se bo ratificiral ob naslednji pristopni pogodbi.
_BAR_ A MOREEFFICIENT AND MORE DEMOCRATICEU
_BAR_ UČINKOVITEJŠAIN BOLJ DEMOKRATIČNA UNIJA
A NEW TREATY FOR EUROPE’S CITIZENS
NOVA POGODBA ZA EVROPSKE DRŽAVLJANE
The Lisbon Treaty brings more democracy, more transparency and more efficiency to the EU, giving its citizens a bigger voice, allowing greater access to its processes and improving coordination among its institutions
Lizbonska pogodba vnaša v EU več demokracije, preglednosti in učinkovitosti, saj daje državljanom več besede, omogoča boljši dostop do evropskih postopkov in izboljšuje usklajevanje med evropskimi institucijami.
Immediately, work began on putting the treaty’s provisions into effect — including in making progress on the appointments to the new posts it created and in preparing for a new Commission under the modified rules the treaty established (see below).
Določbe Pogodbe so se začele nemudoma uveljavljati, vključno s postopnim imenovanjem kandidatov na položaje, ki jih je ustvarila Pogodba, ter s pripravami za novo Komisijo v skladu s spremenjenimi pravili, določenimi s Pogodbo (glej spodaj).
Another step was taken with the launch in November of a broad public consultation on one of the features of the new treaty, the European ‘Citizens’ initiative’ (4), which will permit EU citizens to directly request an initiative by the European Commission upon the collection of at least 1 million signatures across the Member States.
Naslednji korak je bil začetek širokega javnega posvetovanja v novembru o enem elementu nove Pogodbe, in sicer evropski državljanski pobudi (4), s katero bodo lahko državljani EU na podlagi vsaj milijona zbranih podpisov iz vseh držav članic neposredno zahtevali, naj Evropska komisija pripravi pobudo.
A RENEWED EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
PRENOVLJEN EVROPSKI PARLAMENT
The elections to the European Parliament attracted worldwide media attention, reaching a climax as the results were announced on 7 June.
Volitve v Evropski parlament so pritegnile svetovno medijsko pozornost, ki je dosegla višek 7. junija ob razglasitvi rezultatov.
European Parliament elections — which take place every five years — were held across the Member States between 4 and 7 June.
Volitve v Evropski parlament, ki se izvajajo vsakih pet let, so bile po državah članicah opravljene med 4. in 7. junijem.

Prvič je bilo vanje vključenih 27 držav članic, saj sta Bolgarija in Romunija k EU pristopili leta 2007.
The new Parliament consisted of 736 MEPs when it was elected, with the largest contingent from Germany and the smallest from Malta.
Ob izvolitvi je imel novi Evropski parlament 736 članov, pri čemer jih je največ prihajalo iz Nemčije, najmanj pa z Malte.

DELEŽ POSLANK V EVROPSKEM PARLAMENTU
The elections resulted in a further increase in the proportion of women MEPs: at 35 %, the European Parliament now has a higher share of women members than most national parliaments in the Member States.
Na volitvah se je povečal delež žensk v Evropskem parlamentu, tako je s 35 % poslank delež žensk v Evropskem parlamentu višji kot v večini nacionalnih parlamentov v državah članicah.
The pre-election period featured a new degree of crossborder cooperation within political groups as their national component parties worked together to present common manifestos at European level.
Predvolilno obdobje se je odlikovalo z novo stopnjo čezmejnega sodelovanja v okviru političnih skupin, saj so sorodne nacionalne stranke znotraj njih sodelovale pri predstavitvi skupnih manifestov na evropski ravni.
The European Parliament ran an awareness campaign entitled ‘It’s your choice’ that highlighted the policies on which the MEPs elected would have influence.
Evropski parlament je izvedel kampanjo za ozaveščanje z naslovom„Odločitev je vaša“, ki je poudarila tiste politike, na katere bi lahko vplivali izvoljeni poslanci Evropskega parlamenta.
The campaign used tools such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to attract voters, in particular among the young.
Da bi pritegnili volivce, predvsem med mladimi, so bila v kampanji uporabljena družabna spletna omrežja, kot so Facebook, Twitter in YouTube.
In another innovation, the Commission complemented this campaign with its own actions.
Dodatna novost je bila to, da je Komisija kampanjo dopolnila z lastnimi dejavnostmi.
Women MEPs demonstrated in November in support of gender equality in the share-out of top EU jobs.
Poslanke Evropskega parlamenta so novembra demonstrirale v podporo enakosti spolov pri zaposlovanju na vodilnih delovnih mestih v EU.
Although overall turnout was lower than in previous European Parliament elections, there were significant increases in eight Member States over 2004.
Čeprav je bila splošna volilna udeležba nižja kot na prejšnjih volitvah v Evropski parlament, je bilo v osmih državah članicah opazno znatno povečanje v primerjavi z volitvami iz leta 2004.
Participation varied widely between Member States, with the highest level (90.75 %) in Luxembourg, where a general election was held the same day, and the lowest (19.64 %) in Slovakia.
Udeležba je bila v posameznih državah članicah precej različna, tako je najvišji delež dosegla v Luksemburgu z 90,75 %, kjer so bile isti dan splošne volitve, najnižjega pa na Slovaškem z 19,64 %.
According to a post-election survey, the most common reason for not voting was disenchantment with politics in general, rather than dissatisfaction with — or ignorance of — the EU in particular.
Glede na povolilno raziskavo je najsplošnejši razlog, da državljani niso glasovali, razočaranje nad politiko na splošno in ne nezadovoljstvo nad EU ali nepoznavanje EU.
In many Member States, debate over national issues predominated over issues influenced by the EU.
V številnih državah članicah je bilo več pozornosti namenjene razpravam o nacionalnih zadevah, ne pa zadevam, na katere ima vpliv EU.
In some Member States, national, regional or local elections were also held on the same day, obscuring European issues.
V nekaterih državah članicah so istega dne izvedli nacionalne, regionalne ali lokalne volitve, s čimer so bile evropske zadeve potisnjene na stranski tir.
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AT THE CENTRE OF EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY
EVROPSKI PARLAMENT V SREDIŠČU EVROPSKE DEMOKRACIJE
At the Parliament’s constituent session in July, the new MEPs were sworn in, and elected Jerzy Buzek from the EPP group, former Polish Prime Minister and an MEP since 2004, as their President, for the first half of the five-year term.
Na julijski ustanovni seji Parlamenta so zaprisegli novi poslanci Evropskega parlamenta in izvolili Jerzya Buzeka iz skupine Evropske ljudske stranke, nekdanjega poljskega predsednika vlade in poslanca Evropskega parlamenta od leta 2004, za svojega predsednika za prvo polovico petletnega mandata.
The only other candidate in the vote was Eva-Britt Svensson (GUE–NGL).
Edina druga kandidatka na tem glasovanju je bila Eva-Britt Svensson (GUENGL).
‘Today this European Parliament stands at the centre of a European parliamentary democracy of which we could only dream in 1979.
„Evropski parlament je danes postavljen v središče evropske parlamentarne demokracije, o kateri smo lahko leta 1979 le sanjali.
Parliament has become a legislature that is conscious of its responsibilities and in most areas of European legislation an equal partner in decision-making’.
Parlament je postal zakonodajalec, ki se zaveda svojih odgovornosti, in je na večini področij evropske zakonodaje enakovreden partner pri odločanju,“ je izjavil tedanji predsednik Evropskega parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering na junijskem zasedanju Evropskega sveta takoj po volitvah.
The concluding months of the outgoing legislature saw close cooperation between the Parliament, the Commission and the Council, in order to conclude several important legislative processes.
Parlament je v zadnjih mesecih iztekajočega se mandata tesno sodeloval s Komisijo in Svetom, da se je lahko zaključilo več pomembnih zakonodajnih postopkov.
And during the year the Parliament repeatedly demonstrated its capacity to contribute to vigorous EU debate — in issues as contentious as the telecoms package, access to documents, working time of persons performing mobile transport activities, the revision of the working time directive and the fisheries agreement with Guinea.
Med letom je večkrat dokazal, da lahko prispeva k živahni razpravi EU o tako spornih vprašanjih, kot so sveženj predpisov na področju telekomunikacij, dostop do dokumentov, urejanje delovnega časa oseb, ki potujejo zaradi prevoznih dejavnosti, revizija direktive o delovnem času in sporazum o ribištvu z Gvinejo.
Jerzy Buzek (right) was elected in July for a two-and-a-half-year term as President of the European Parliament, succeeding Hans-Gert Pöttering (left).
Jerzy Buzek (desno) je bil julija izvoljen za predsednika Evropskega parlamenta za dvoinpolletni mandat in bo tako nasledil Hansa-Gerta Pötteringa (levo).
Parliament began to prepare for the increased powers it gains under the Lisbon Treaty, notably its enhanced legislative powers and a new procedure for adopting the EU budget, which puts Parliament on an equal footing with the Council.
Parlament se je začel pripravljati na povečanje pristojnosti, ki jih dobi v okviru Lizbonske pogodbe, in sicer zlasti večja pooblastila za sprejemanje pravnih aktov ter nov postopek za sprejemanje proračuna EU, ki postavlja Parlament in Svet v enakopraven položaj.
The Parliament also introduced reforms in its own operations, in line with a report it adopted in May (5) on the revision of its rules of procedure; these include new arrangements for cooperation among its committees, and ways of making parliamentary debates in the plenary more lively.
Parlament je v skladu z maja sprejetim poročilom o reviziji poslovnika (5) prav tako uvedel reforme v lastne dejavnosti, ki zajemajo novo ureditev za sodelovanje med odbori ter načine za poživitev razprav na plenarnih zasedanjih. Predsednik Buzek je v uvodnem nagovoru pojasnil, da je parlamentarna reforma eden izmed glavnih izzivov njegovega mandata.
‘I will work on creating a new model and working relationship with the European Commission,’ he said.
„Poskušal bom ustvariti nov vzoren delovni odnos z Evropsko komisijo,“ je dejal.
