Finally, it is an excellent example of good governance, for the other institutions and for the outside world in general, which both clarifies and highlights the complementarity between the consultative role played by the Committee and the Commission’s role as‘executor’.
Končno pa je to odličen primer dobrega upravljanja za druge institucije in za svet zunaj institucij nasploh, saj pojasnjuje in ponazarja komplementarnost med posvetovalno funkcijo Odbora in izvršilno funkcijo Komisije.
Since the protocol strengthens the political dialogue between the two institutions, it enables the EESC to offer its expertise and help to secure a consensus as effectively as possible.
Ker protokol krepi politični dialog med obema institucijama, Odboru omogoča, da ponudi svojo strokovno pomoč in zagotovi učinkovito soglasje.
It should not be forgotten that the EESC plays a unique and irreplaceable role in this regard: it is an assembly of members from the most representative national civil society organisations, who are in tune with the economic and social life of Member States; it is a forum where different, or indeed, conflicting viewpoints can be expressed, with the aim of reaching a constructive compromise.
Ne smemo pozabiti, da je EESO v tem pogledu edinstvena in nenadomestljiva institucija: je zbor predstavnikov najbolj značilnih nacionalnih organizacij civilne družbe, ki so odlično seznanjeni z gospodarskim in družbenim življenjem v državah članicah; gre za forum, v katerem lahko predstavniki povsem različnih, celo nasprotujočih si interesov izražajo svoje mnenje in si pri tem vedno prizadevajo poiskati pozitiven kompromis.
For example, a positive Committee opinion on a legislative proposal from the Commission serves as a valuable indication for lawmakers that the proposal enjoys majority support.
Pozitivno mnenje, ki ga Odbor na primer sprejme o zakonodajnem predlogu Komisije, je dragocen namig zakonodajalcem, da predlog podpira veliko ljudi.
In this sense, the protocol is an essential trigger for the European integration process.
V tem pogledu je protokol pomembna gonilna sila postopka evropske integracije.
The protocol was drawn up to make cooperation between the Commission and the Committee more effective.
Protokol je bil zasnovan zato, da bi bilo sodelovanje med Komisijo in Odborom bolj učinkovito.
Broadly, an active Committee contributes to strengthening democracy.
Na splošno lahko rečemo, da aktiven Odbor pomembno prispeva h krepitvi demokracije.
It should not be forgotten that we have been one of the main promoters of the idea of participatory democracy at European level.
Ne smemo pozabiti, da je bil Odbor v Evropi eden glavnih zagovornikov ideje o participativni demokraciji.
It is through the successful development of these initiatives that the EESC can become a true ‘bridge between Europe and organised civil society’.
Če jih bo uspešno razvijal, EESO lahko postane pravi »most med Evropo in organizirano civilno družbo«.
How can the protocol contribute to ‘better lawmaking’?
Vsekakor ni dvoma o tem, da je Odbor del rešitve!
In addition to what I have just said, its contribution to this area is highlighted by the exploratory opinion system.
Poleg tega, kar sem že povedal, je prispevek protokola na tem področju tudi priprava raziskovalnih mnenj.
This is an optional referral with no prior proposal from the Commission. Since 2001, it has been very

Good times are ahead for the consultative role of the Committee.
To so dobri časi za posvetovalno vlogo Odbora.
Today, with the widespread emergence of civil society and the demands of a more participatory and democratic European society, and at a time when the outlines of the European project remain vague, the Committee’s work and its search for a consensus are becoming more important.
V tem trenutku zaradi splošnega prebujanja civilne družbe in zahteve po bolj participativni in bolj demokratični evropski družbi in v času, ko je osnutek evropskega načrta vse manj jasen, postajata delo Odbora in njegovo iskanje konsenza vse bolj pomembni.

A new era of cooperation: the EESC and the European Commission sign a new cooperation agreement
Novo obdobje sodelovanja: EESO in Komisija sta podpisala nov protokol o sodelovanju
Dear Readers,
Drage bralke in bralci!
On 7 November 2005, Anne-Marie Sigmund, EESC President, and José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, signed a new cooperation protocol between the two institutions.
Anne-Marie Sigmund, predsednica EESO, in José Manuel Barroso, predsednik Evropske komisije, sta 7. novembra 2005 podpisala nov protokol o sodelovanju med institucijama.
This revamped protocol strengthens future cooperation between the EESC and the Commission.
S tem obnovljenim protokolom je predvideno še tesnejše sodelovanje med EESO in Komisijo v prihodnosti.
The revised protocol paves the way for stronger and more political cooperation and aims to enable the Commission and the Committee to identify, in a more systematic and organised fashion, the policies and files in which they share an interest.
Spremenjeni protokol je v znamenju okrepljenega in bolj političnega sodelovanja, s čimer naj bi Komisija in Odbor bolj sistematično in organizirano določala politike in področja, ki so v njunem skupnem interesu.
Margot Wallström and Anne-Marie Sigmund at the joint press conference with the Commission.

The Committee typically leads a busy life, but the second week of November was momentous.
Odbor ima običajno kar napolnjen dnevni red, vendar so pomembni dogodki še posebej zaznamovali drugi novembrski teden.
It began with the signing of the new protocol of cooperation with the European Commission.
Začel se je s podpisom novega protokola o sodelovanju z Evropsko komisijo.
As a technical document, the protocol has been enhanced considerably, but it is the political aspects that have been most reinforced, as President Barroso emphasised during his visit.
To je pomemben napredek in poudarja še zlasti politične vidike sodelovanja, je med svojim obiskom poudaril predsednik Komisije Barroso.
which was organised jointly by the two institutions, bore‘witness to the strength of our cooperation and our joint wish to listen to and involve the European public’.
Odbor in Komisija, »dokaz moči našega sodelovanja in naše skupne volje, da poslušamo in vključimo evropsko javnost«.
This stronger cooperation will also affect communications policy, not least on the White Paper, following which the Commission and the Committee will set out in an addendum the operational arrangements for their cooperation.
Okrepljeno sodelovanje bo vplivalo tudi na politiko komuniciranja, zlasti v okviru bele knjige, po kateri bosta Komisija in Odbor v obliki dodatka določila način delovanja njunega sodelovanja v praksi.
At a joint press conference with Margot Wallström, the Committee President, Anne-Marie Sigmund, stated that the political objectives of the new protocol‘are a sign of a new culture of dialogue and debate with civil society and of the development of participatory democracy’.
Med skupno tiskovno konferenco z Margot Wallström je predsednica Odbora Anne-Marie Sigmund dejala, da so politični cilji novega protokola »znak nove kulture dialoga in razprave s civilno družbo in razvoja participativne demokracije«.
She added that the Stakeholders’ Forum on ‘Bridging the gap’, which took place at the Committee on 7 and 8 November (see page 3) and
Po njenem mnenju je posvetovalni forum »Zapolnimo vrzel«, ki je potekal v Odboru 7. in 8. novembra (glej stran 3 te številke) in sta ga skupaj organizirala
Ms Wallström recalled that ‘the Committee is an institutional consultative body with which the Commission has been cooperating since 1958 and with which it has developed far-reaching cooperation.
Spomnila je na to, da je »Odbor institucionalni posvetovalni organ, s katerim Komisija sodeluje že od leta 1958 in s katerim je razvila daljnosežno obliko sodelovanja.
The Commission also recognises the Committee’s major role in governance.’
Komisija poleg tega priznava veliko vlogo, ki jo ima Odbor pri upravljanju«.
With the ink still drying on the protocol, Commissioner Vladimir Špidla helped the Committee launch its second innovatory Stakeholders’ Forum, this time on the key theme of ‘Bridging the gap: how to bring Europe and its citizens closer together’.
Črnilo na protokolu se še ni dodobra posušilo, ko sta Odbor in komisar Vladimir Špidla že pozdravila udeležence drugega inovativnega foruma na pomembno temo »Zapolnimo vrzel: kako približati Evropo državljanom«.
The Forum was an unqualified success. Vice-President Margot Wallström spent the second morning in a candid and lively discussion with our participants alongside Roger Briesch and MEPs Jo Leinen and Andrew Duff.
Forum je popolnoma uspel, velja pa omeniti tudi živahno in odprto razpravo, ki jo je drugi dan podpredsednica Komisije Margot Wallström imela z udeleženci srečanja, med drugim z Rogerjem Brieschem in članoma Parlamenta Joom Leinenom ter Andrewom Duffom.
The Forum was a great experience in itself, but Ms Wallström made it clear that the recommendations that came out of the over 30 workshops would indeed serve as inputs for the Commission’s forthcoming White Paper.
Forum je bil dragocena izkušnja, komisarka Wallström pa je pojasnila, da bo priporočila, ki so jih oblikovali v okviru tridesetih delavnic, upoštevala tudi prihodnja bela knjiga.
The previous cooperation protocol, which dated from 2001, was already a helpful tool for cooperation but did not address two major subjects: EU enlargement and governance.
Prejšnji protokol o sodelovanju iz leta 2001 je bil učinkovito sredstvo za sodelovanje, ki pa ni obravnaval dveh pomembnih tem: širitve Unije in upravljanja.
The cooperation protocol takes account of these new factors and, whilst maintaining the thrust of the previous protocol, introduces some major changes:
Protokol o sodelovanju upošteva te nove elemente, ohranja bistvo prejšnjega protokola in uvaja nekaj večjih sprememb: l določitev skupnih ciljev sodelovanja za krepitev participativne demokracije in dialoga s civilno družbo;
Then, with departing Forum participants still thronging the corridors, the Committee launched a major hearing on the Lisbon strategy, as part of its ongoing actions in meeting the spring European Council’s mandate.
Udeleženci foruma so se še mudili po hodnikih Odbora, ko je Odbor že začel pomembno posvetovanje o lizbonski strategiji, kar je ena od nalog, ki mu jih je spomladi letos dodelil Evropski svet.
Key participants included the European Commission’s special advisor on the strategy, Maria João Rodrigues.
Med pomembnimi udeleženci posvetovanja je bila tudi posebna svetovalka Evropske komisije o lizbonski strategiji Maria João Rodrigues.
No sooner was the hearing over than the Committee launched a high-level seminar on the contribution of organised civil society to the work of the World Trade Organisation.
l boljšo komunikacijo z državljani: Komisija in Odbor bosta tesneje sodelovala pri politiki komuniciranja z državljani – nalogi vseh institucij, da bi ustvarili evropski javni forum za dialog in razpravo;

l the setting of common cooperation objectives with the aim of strengthening participatory democracy and dialogue with civil society;ltaking into account the EESC’s wider functions, i.e. its consultative role in implementing EU policy, its role in strengthening dialogue between the institutions and civil society and its monitoring role in the EU’s external relations;l improved communication with the public: the Commission and the Committee will work together more closely on the policy for communicating with the public, a task shared among all the institutions, with the aim of creating a European public forum for dialogue and debate;
l določitev in uskladitev skupnih prednostnih nalog v okviru programov obeh institucij in okrepljeno usklajevanje na ravni strokovnih skupin Odbora in generalnih direktoratov Komisije; l določitev načel sodelovanja v zvezi z vlogo EESO kot posrednika med institucijami in civilno družbo ter boljšo organizacijo skupnih prireditev z logistično in finančno podporo Komisije;
From a purely technical point of view, the Committee can surely give itself a pat on the back for managing to stage so many important and high-quality events in such a short space of time.
Odbor je lahko vsekakor ponosen, da mu je – že samo s tehničnega vidika – v tako kratkem času uspelo izpeljati toliko pomembnih in odlično organiziranih prireditev.
But these events also illustrated the growing political role that President Barroso had stressed at the beginning of the week.
Slednje pričajo tudi o njegovi vse večji politični vlogi, kakor je v začetku tedna poudaril tudi predsednik Barroso.
President of the European Economic and Social Committee l the establishment and agreement of shared priorities within the framework of the two institutions’ programmes and improved cooperation between the Committee’s sections and the Commission’s directorates-general;l principles of cooperation relating to the Committee’s role as an intermediary between the institutions and civil society, and better organisation of joint events with the financial and logistical support of the Commission;l support from the Commission for the EESC’s structured dialogue with civil society organisations via the EESC’s liaison group;l improved cooperation in key policy areas: the Lisbon strategy, sustainable development, structural changes, impact analysis and implementation of Community legislation, and external relations.
Anne-Marie Sigmund, l podporo Komisije strukturiranemu dialogu med EESO in organizacijami civilne družbe v okviru povezovalne skupine EESO; predsednica Evropskega ekonomskosocialnega odbora l okrepljeno sodelovanje na ključnih političnih področjih: lizbonska strategija, trajnostni razvoj, strukturne spremembe, analiza učinkov in izvajanje zakonodaje Skupnosti ter zunanji odnosi.

Lisbon strategy: the EESC regrets the continuing lack of responsibility face the challenges posed by an aging population and globalisation, Europe would need to focus on key issues like R & D, energy, security and its role in the world. He hoped that short and focused political reports will help the Commission to work out a precise basis for the next spring summit, which in turn would enable the Council to give a clear political direction. ‘With 0.34 % of GDP, Poland spends ridiculously little on R & D’. He also pointed to the deplorably low absorption rates of resources from the Structural Funds in Poland. On behalf of the EESC and the Hungarian ESC, Janos Toth announced a high-level conference in Budapest to be held at the beginning of March 2006 on the eve of the spring summit. ‘The conference will enable policy-makers across Europe to discuss with civil society representatives about the state of implementation, identify future challenges and identify good practices stemming from different experiences in the Member States’, he pointed out. Maria João Rodrigues at the EESC public hearing.
V imenu EESO in madžarskega ESO je g. Janos Toth napovedal organizacijo konference na visoki ravni v Budimpešti v začetku marca 2006 pred spomladanskim zasedanjem Sveta. »Na tej konferenci bodo lahko vsi evropski politiki razpravljali s predstavniki civilne družbe o stanju izvajanja strategije, določili prihodnje izzive in izboljšali najboljše prakse na podlagi različnih izkušenj posameznih držav članic, « je poudaril.
Speakers from the EESC, regional initiatives, the Committee of the Regions and other civil society organisations presented various good examples and initiatives.
Govorniki EESO, regionalnih pobud, Odbora regij in drugih organizacij civilne družbe so predstavili več primerov in pobud najboljše prakse. Ga.
Ms Schachinger from the Technology Management and Regional Development Agency of Upper Austria pointed out, for example, how industrial clustering based on intensive consultation between local authorities and social partners contributed to the successful development of the region.
Schachinger iz Agencije za tehnološko vodenje in regionalni razvoj Zgornje Avstrije je na primer predstavila, kako je koncentracija industrije skupaj z intenzivnim posvetovanjem med lokalnimi oblastmi in socialnimi partnerji prispevala k uspešnemu razvoju njene regije.
At a hearing held by the EESC on 8 and 9 November 2005, on the implementation of the Lisbon strategy, various civil society organisations expressed their points of view on the present state of implementation of the strategy.
EESO je 8. in 9. novembra organiziral razpravo o izvajanju lizbonske strategije, ki je različnim organizacijam civilne družbe omogočila, da so izrazile svoje stališče o stanju napredka izvajanja strategije. G.
EESC Vice-President Roger Briesch argued that the EU had to be seen to be responding to the real concerns of its citizens, particularly on fundamentals such as jobs.
Roger Briesch, podpredsednik EESO, je dejal, da bi se morala Unija zanimati za dejanske težave svojih državljanov, zlasti za najbolj temeljna vprašanja, kot je zaposlitev.
The strategy was intended to provide that response, but a failure fully to involve civil society made it difficult to get the message across.
Lizbonska strategija bi morala ponuditi odgovor, ker pa civilna družba ni v celoti vključena, sporočilo strategije ni najbolj zaživelo.
The need for civil society to make itself heard at the European level had been still further emphasised by the Dutch and French rejections of the Constitution, he argued.
Po njegovem mnenju sta francoska in nizozemska zavrnitev Pogodbe o Ustavi za Evropo ponovno poudarili potrebo po tem, da se sliši glas civilne družbe v Evropi. Ga.
Maria João Rodrigues, Special Advisor to the European Commission on the Lisbon strategy, insisted that Member States had to improve the implementation of decisions taken jointly in Brussels.
Maria João Rodrigues, posebna svetovalka Evropske komisije za lizbonsko strategijo, je poudarila, da morajo države članice izboljšati izvajanje odločitev, ki so bile skupaj sprejete v Bruslju.
Throughout the hearing, the roles of the Commission, Member States, public and private actors were discussed in a critical and lively fashion.
Ves čas razprave so bile različne vloge Komisije, držav članic ter javnih in zasebnih akterjev predmet živahne in kritične obravnave. G.
He recalled that the EESC and national ESCs are at present preparing a joint report on the implementation of the strategy, following the midterm report.
Spomnil je na to, da EESO in nacionalni ESO trenutno pripravljajo skupno poročilo o izvajanju strategije, ki bo sledilo vmesnemu poročilu.
Within the framework of an analysis by the EESC, this report will highlight the work carried out by each ESC on the implementation of the Lisbon strategy at national level and allow civil society representatives to express their opinion on the current status of the strategy and on the degree of their involvement by the competent national authorities.
V okviru analize s strani Odbora bo to poročilo poudarilo opravljeno delo posameznih ESO o izvajanju lizbonske strategije na nacionalni ravni in predstavnikom civilne družbe omogočilo, da izrazijo svoje mnenje o trenutnem stanju strategije in o tem, koliko jih pristojne nacionalne službe vključujejo v postopek.
This report will be highlighted, together with the other works carried out by the EESC and other civil society organisations, at the high-level conference on the eve of the 2006 spring summit.
Poročilo bo predstavljeno skupaj z drugim delom Odbora in drugih organizacij civilne družbe na konferenci na visoki ravni pred začetkom spomladanskega vrha 2006.
As regards the knowledge society, EESC rapporteur Jan Olsson regretted that best practice is not better exploited within the EU.
V zvezi z družbo znanja je g. Jan Olsson, poročevalec Odbora, izrazil obžalovanje, da se najboljše prakse premalo uporabljajo v Uniji. Ga.
If there is no stronger development, China will achieve the Lisbon goals before the EU does.’
Če se to hitro ne bo spremenilo, bo celo Kitajska dosegla cilje lizbonske strategije prej kot EU.« V tem kontekstu je g.
In this context Hubert Bouchet (French ESC) underlined the necessity to foster and nourish the capacities of each and every single person if the risk of the emergence of a human ‘surplus’ is to be averted.
Hubert Bouchet (francoski ESO) poudaril, da je treba spodbujati sposobnosti vseh posameznikov, če želimo preprečiti tveganje pojava »viška« človeških virov.
