It called on the Commission to draft legislation on the basis of the Council of Europe’s recommendations and Danish and Dutch legislation on making administrative information publicly available.
Komisijo je pozval, naj na podlagi priporočil Sveta Evrope ter danskih in nizozemskih zakonov o preglednosti delovanja javne uprave pripravi zakonodajni predlog.
With a view to making its activities known and understood by the public, the European Parliament has opened its plenary sittings and committee meetings to the public.
Parlament se bori proti nepreglednosti upravnih postopkov.
Its reports, opinions and decisions are easily accessible and there is also an electronic register giving access to various documents. It also campaigns for the principle of transparency to be applied to other Community institutions and bodies.
Meni, da je pri delovanju institucij potrebno zagotoviti preglednost, ki edina lahko omogoči udeležbo državljanov v političnem procesu in njihov nadzor nad institucijami in organi Skupnosti.
Parliament means to combat administrative secrecy.
Ker je Parlament želel, da bi javnost njegovo dejavnost poznala in razumela, je svoja zasedanja in tudi razprave svojih odborov odprl za javnost.
It believes that transparency on the running of the institutions is fundamental in enabling the public to take part in the political process and to monitor the activities of the Community bodies and institutions.
Tudi poročila, mnenja in sklepi, ki jih sprejema, so zlahka dostopni, državljani pa imajo na voljo elektronski register, ki omogoča dostop do različnih dokumentov.
At a time when the EU is facing problems of political legitimacy and scepticism in certain quarters, it is essential to make the legislative process more accessible to the public and for transparency to strengthen the EU’s democratic credentials and public condence in the institutions.
Prizadeva si, da bi načelo preglednosti veljalo tudi za druge institucije ali organe Skupnosti.
In 1988 it stated that the right to information was one of the fundamental freedoms of
Kadar se Unija sooči s problemom politične legitimnosti in z dvomi v svoje delovanje, je nujno, da postane zakonodajni proces bolj dostopen javnosti in da se s preglednostjo okrepi demokratični značaj Unije ter zaupanje državljanov v institucije.
However, it was not until the 1990s that the right to information took shape.
Vendar je pravica do obveščenosti šele po letu 1990 postala resničnost.
In 1993 the Commission produced a communication in which the principle of the right of access to administrative documents was mentioned for the first time.
Leta 1993 je Komisija predložila sporočilo, v katerem je prvič omenila načelo pravice dostopa do upravnih dokumentov. Šestega decembra 1993 je bil sprejet skupni kodeks ravnanja Komisije in Sveta glede dostopa
They have stepped up their eorts in putting their documents on their Internet sites.
Institucije so okrepile prizadevanja, da bi omogočile čim večjo dostopnost svojih dokumentov na svetovnem spletu.
Not without success.
Uspeh je sledil.
Since it has been possible to consult the Ocial Journal on the Internet, the number of subscriptions has increased from 23 000 a year to 8 million a month.
Odkar je na spletnih straneh dostopen Uradni list, se je število obiskovalcev povečalo s 23 000 na osem milijonov na mesec.
Council joint code of conduct on public access to documents was adopted on 6 December 1993. This right was incorporated in the Treaty establishing the European Community in 1996 and enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
V njej je natančno določeno, da ima ”vsak državljan Unije ali vsaka fizična ali pravna oseba, ki ima prebivališče ali registrirani sedež v državi članici, pravico dostopa do dokumentov Evropskega parlamenta, Sveta in Komisije“.
It states: ‘Any citizen of the Union, and any natural or legal person residing or having its registered oce in a Member State, has a right of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents’.
Vsak/a državljan/ka Evropske unije ter vsaka fizična ali pravna oseba s prebivališčem ali statutarnim sedežem v eni od držav članic ima pravico, da samostojno ali skupaj z drugimi osebami na Evropski parlament naslovi peticijo glede vprašanja, ki sodi na področje pristojnosti Evropske unije in ki ga/jo neposredno zadevajo.
Since the entry into force on 30 May 2001 of a regulation guaranteeing public access to documents, the number

In practice, numerous cases are settled amicably.

Those that are the subject of a special report have concerned transparency and the investigation of complaints referred to the Commission by members of the public.
Če presodi, da si katera od njih zasluži širšo razpravo, lahko izjemoma predloži poročilo Evropskemu parlamentu, da ga ta sprejme na plenarnem zasedanju, ali se odloči za preiskovalno misijo.
Appointed by Parliament, the Ombudsman carries out his duties independently.
Če ne uspe, pošlje priporočila, in če ta niso upoštevana, na Parlament naslovi posebno poročilo.

V praksi se veliko vprašanj reši po mirni poti.
The committee may decide that some petitions merit wider debate and may exceptionally submit a report to Parliament for adoption in plenary or it may carry out an investigation.
Varuh človekovih pravic, ki ga imenuje Parlament, svojo funkcijo opravlja neodvisno, vanjo lahko poseže le Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti, če obveznosti ni izpolnjeval.
The committee thus plays a fundamental role in defending citizens’ rights and finding appropriate solutions to concerns and problems in daily life.
Glede na to, da je njegova naloga preiskovati slabo upravljanje v institucijah in organih Unije, se lahko nanj obrne vsak evropski državljan oziroma fizična ali pravna oseba, ki biva ali ima svoj sedež v Uniji.

DRUGI DEL s človekovimi pravicami, uporabili vsi politični in gospodarski instrumenti.
OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION: WORLDWIDE ACTION
ZUNAJ UNIJE BOJ ZA SPLOŠNA NAČELA
The European Parliament showed from the beginning that its action to uphold human rights was worldwide and went beyond frontiers and policies.
Evropski parlament je že ob svojem nastanku pokazal, da je boj za človekove pravice boj vseh, ki presega meje in politiko. Boril se je za obrambo svobode v državah pod sovjetskim jarmom in v skrajno desničarskih vojaških diktaturah v Evropi in Afriki, Aziji in Latinski Ameriki.
In day-to-day eorts, Parliament has used the legitimacy conferred on it as the elected representative of 500 million people, but it has also made use of all – even limited – powers conferred on it by the Treaties.
V vsakodnevnih prizadevanjih se je Parlament skliceval na svojo legitimnost, saj je bil predstavnik 500 milijonov prebivalcev, posluževal pa se je tudi pristojnosti, četudi omejenih, ki so mu bile dodeljene v pogodbah.
It believes that matters related to human rights cannot be envisaged in isolation but must be included in a general strategy towards nonmember countries.
Parlament meni, da vprašanj, povezanih s človekovimi pravicami, ni mogoče obravnavati izolirano, vključene morajo biti v celovito strategijo do tretjih držav.
Parliament has to give its assent to certain international agreements, notably association and cooperation agreements. By refusing to do so, it may use this prerogative to put the agreement on hold.
Ker mora dati soglasje k nekaterim mednarodnim sporazumom, še posebej k sporazumom o pridružitvi in sodelovanju, lahko to predpravico uporabi kot sredstvo blokade.
Its budgetary powers also enable it to put forward or inuence certain EU actions.
Proračunske pristojnosti mu omogočajo, da spodbudi nekatere dejavnosti Unije ali nanje vpliva.
It has undoubtedly played a major role in increasing awareness at European level.
Nedvomno je imel pomembno vlogo pri ozaveščanju na evropski ravni.
With more freedom than the Council and Commission, which act within the strict framework of the Treaties, it has stimulated the debate within the political
Ker je imel več svobode kot Svet ali Komisija, ki delujeta v strogem okviru pogodb, je sprožal razpravo znotraj politične unije, brez katere spodbujanje vrednot ne bi zaživelo v polni moči.
Thus it has made representations to the Council and Commission to get these

odborov ali delegacij lahko redno vplivajo na Svet, Komisijo in zadevne vlade, da bi ti ustrezno ukrepali.
In brief, the European Parliament has never hesitated to use all available means of defending fundamental rights throughout the world.
Skratka, Evropski parlament vedno uporabi vsa sredstva, da bi branil temeljne človekove pravice po vsem svetu.
Parliament has also succeeded, through its annual report on human rights and specic resolutions, in drawing attention to dicult situations to induce the governments concerned to change their policy.
pripraviti zadevne vlade do tega, da spremenijo svojo politiko. Njegove resolucije v zvezi s skupno zunanjo politiko niso obvezujoče.
Its resolutions on foreign policy do not have binding force.
Uporabiti mora torej svojo sposobnost prepričevanja in verodostojnost, ki izhaja iz njegove neposredne izvolitve.
It must therefore make full use of its capacity for persuasion and the legitimacy that it derives from its election by direct universal surage.
Na Svet in Komisijo torej skuša vplivati, opirajoč se na javno mnenje in na nevladne organizacije.
It thus inuences the Council and Commission by drawing support both from public opinion and nongovernmental organisations.

Eno od glavnih področij delovanja Evropskega parlamenta je boj proti diktaturam, levim in desnim, ki mnogim državam onemogočajo vstop v Evropsko unijo.
One of the European Parliament’s main areas of action has been combating dictatorships of both the right and left. This has been a consideration for many countries aspiring to join the European Union.
V vseh teh letih cenzura z druge strani železne zavese državljanom zadevnih držav, razen neznatni manjšini, ni dopuščala dostopa do stališč Evropskega parlamenta.
A. Southern Europe: the long march towards democracy
Ko so se te države osvobodile avtoritarnih režimov, so se obrnile k Uniji in začele pristopni proces.
Censorship on the other side of the Iron Curtain prevented all but a tiny minority of people in the countries concerned of knowing the views expressed by the European Parliament.
Evropski parlament, ki mora dati soglasje k pristopnim pogodbam, je od blizu spremljal napredovanje držav kandidatk v smeri demokratizacije in spoštovanja človekovih pravic, da bi dosegle raven Unije.
At the time when it consisted of delegates from national parliaments, the European Parliament did not really have the role of debating international events.
Ko so Parlament še sestavljali poslanci nacionalnih skupščin, njegova vloga ni bila razpravljanje o mednarodnih dogodkih.
Nevertheless, it did not hesitate to do this throughout the dark years experienced by many countries in Europe.
Vendar se temu ves čas mračnih razmer, v katerih so živele številne države evropske celine, ni nikoli odpovedal.
When freed from authoritarian regimes, these countries turned towards the EU and entered into the accession process.
V Španiji, Grčiji in na Portugalskem pa je javnost dobro vedela za njegovo podporo demokraciji v času, ko so pri njih vladale diktature, in tako je Parlament prispeval k odpravi teh režimov.
The European Parliament, which is required to give its assent to accession treaties, has followed the candidate countries’ progress in democratisation and respect for human rights to reach the EU level.
Po izvolitvi na neposrednih splošnih volitvah je boj nadaljeval in ga razširil.
It has carefully examined the evolving situation in these countries and the annual reports prepared by the Commission.
Skrbno je preučeval spremembe razmer v teh državah in letna poročila, ki jih je pripravila Komisija; njegove pripombe so toliko pomembnejše, ker lahko uporabi zadnjo možnost in zavrne soglasje.

V svojem pisnem odgovoru, ki ga je prebral predsedujoči zasedanja Parlamenta, se je Svet omejil na navedbo, da o prošnji španske vlade še ni razmislil.

V zvezi s prošnjo iz Madrida se je poslanec Willi Birkelbach obrnil na druge evropske institucije, rekoč: ”Ali Svet ministrov in Komisija menita, da je primerno upoštevati prošnjo, ki prihaja od režima, katerega politična lozoja in gospodarska praksa sta v popolnem nasprotju s koncepti in strukturami Evropskih skupnosti?“
The President of the Commission, Jean Rey, was more explicit: ‘European policy does not consist only of interests but of sentiments and ideas.
Predsednik komisije Jean Rey pa je bil bolj jasen: ”Evropske politike ne predstavljajo le interesi, temveč tudi občutki in ideali.
And when strands of public opinion emerge [a reference in particular to the

In response, the MEP Willi Birkelbach said to the other European institutions: ‘Does the Council of Ministers, does the Commission believe that there is room to consider such a request from a regime whose political philosophy and economic practices are completely opposed to the European Communities’ concepts and structures?’ He
Za tega evropskega poslanca ”Evropska gospodarska skupnost ne bi bila več vredna zaupanja, če bi se nameravala tesno povezati z režimom iz Madrida, bodisi v obliki združenja ali celo popolne priključitve.“

preferential trade agreement was concluded in 1970
Prošnja Španije je bila torej zavrnjena, vendar je ta leta 1964 oblikovala novo, ki je po dolgem času, leta 1970, privedla do sklenitve preferencialnega trgovinskega sporazuma.
This agreement raised con-icting views in Parliament on whether opening up to trade could encourage opening up to democracy.
Na koncu vroče razprave o načinih, kako to doseči, je Parlament pozval Komisijo in Svet, naj zamrzneta obstoječe odnose za čas, dokler v tej državi ne bosta zavladala svoboda in demokracija.
activities of clandestine Spanish trade unions], they must be taken into consideration by all European authorities’.
Oblasti v Madridu pa so ostale neomajne in deset dni pozneje je bilo pet obsojencev usmrčenih.
Willi Birkelbach then asked whether or not a country where human rights were disregarded could become a member of the EEC.
Vendar je razprava iz Strasbourga v Španiji vseeno odmevala; prispevala je k močni mobilizaciji evropskih stališč proti španski vladi.
The President of the Commission interrupted the debate: ‘I am not at present in a position to add anything to what I have already said’. Having been rejected, Spain applied again in 1964.
Ob tem sporazumu je Parlament sprejel nasprotujoča si stališča o vprašanju, ali lahko odprtje na področju trgovinskih dejavnosti pripomore k odprtju na področju demokracije.
After much hesitation, in view of signicant trade developments in the meantime, a
Osmega aprila 1976, dobrih šest mesecev po Francovi smrti 20. novembra 1975, ko se je proces demokratizacije države znašel v težavah, je Evropski parlament podprl sto tisoče Špancev iz vseh slojev družbe, ki so prišli na ulice, da bi preprečili kakršnokoli vrnitev na stari red.
A Commission representative in the Chamber welcomed this debate: ‘This is one of those occasions when the Assembly ceases to be just an institution of an economic group of nations and becomes a European Parliament in the real meaning of the word, a European Parliament expressing itself as the conscience of the Europe and the conscience of the Community’.
Predstavnik Komisije v polkrožni dvorani je razpravo pozdravil z besedami: ”To je ena od priložnosti, ko skupščina v nekem smislu preneha biti samo institucija gospodarske skupine narodov in postane Evropski parlament v pravem smislu, parlament, ki izraža vest Evrope, vest Skupnosti“.
On 25 September 1975 in an emotional debate, the MEPs rallied to put pressure on the Spanish Government not to carry out death sentences against 10 Spanish citizens.

Echoes of the debate in Strasbourg were nevertheless heard in Spain; it contributed to a strong mobilisation of European opinion against the Spanish Government.
V resoluciji, ki je v Madridu naletela na buren odmev, je Evropski parlament zahteval vrnitev svoboščin, množično pomilostitev političnih zapornikov in povratek izgnancev.

sporazuma z Grčijo, je zdaj zahteval njegovo zamrznitev do ponovne vzpostavitve demokratičnega režima; Svet je o tem sprejel sklep.
As in the case of Spain, it urged protection of human rights and required them to be respected by any country that wanted to maintain relations with the EEC.
Svoje stališče je ponovil ob drugi obletnici državnega udara, ko je izglasoval resolucijo, v kateri je izrazil ”popolno solidarnost z grškim ljudstvom“ in opozoril, da pridružitvenega sporazuma ne bo mogoče v celoti izvajati, ”dokler ne bodo v Grčiji ponovno vzpostavljene demokratične in parlamentarne strukture“.
Democratic elections were held in Spain in 1977 and on 12 June 1985 Spain signed the Treaty of Accession to the Community.
Manj kot tri tedne po vojaškem udaru, 11. maja 1967, je Evropski parlament zahteval ponovno vzpostavitev demokratičnega reda v Atenah.
‘I belong to a generation of Spaniards for whom the fight for democracy in Spain and its integration into Europe were two sides of the same coin’, said Enrique Barón Crespo who became one of the first Spanish MEPs and later President of the European Parliament.
Tako kot v Španiji je tudi tu izpostavil varstvo človekovih pravic in zahtevo po njihovem spoštovanju v vseh državah, ki želijo gojiti vezi z Evropsko gospodarsko skupnostjo.

On the second anniversary of the coup d’état, Parliament adopted a resolution expressing complete solidarity with the Greek people and stating that the association agreement could not be fully applied until democratic and parliamentary structures had been restored in Greece.
Evropski parlament pa brez ekonomskega vzvoda ni mogel izvajati pritiska na Lizbono in zahtevati demokratizacije režima.
In August 1974, shortly after the overthrow of the colonels on 24 July, the President of the European Parliament, Cornelis Berkhouwer, went to Greece to give Parliament’s support to the democratic process. In October of the same year, Parliament called

Portugal had been in a situation of semi-self-suciency since the establishment of a corporatist regime in the 1920s, so unlike Spain and Greece it had not sought relations with the Community.
Oktobra istega leta se je Parlament, ne da bi čakal na izid napovedanih volitev v Grčiji, zavzel za ”takojšnjo odmrznitev ekonomskih in komercialnih vidikov združenja“.
