Throughout the process, from application to accession, the EU operates comprehensive stage-by-stage approval procedures.
Evropska unija skozi celoten proces − od prošnje za članstvo do pristopa − vodi postopke odobritve na vsaki stopnji procesa.
First, it is important to underline that the term “negotiation” can be misleading.
Najprej je treba poudariti, da je izraz „pogajanje“ lahko zavajajoč.
Accession negotiations focus on the conditions and timing of the candidate’s adoption, implementation and application of EU rules – some , pages of them.
Pristopna pogajanja so usmerjena na pogoje ter časovni razpored sprejetja, izvajanja in uporabe pravil EU v državi kandidatki − ta pravila so zapisana na približno straneh.
And these rules (also known as “acquis”, French for “that which has been agreed”) are not negotiable.
In o teh pravilih (znanih tudi kot pravni red − „acquis“, kar v francoskem jeziku pomeni „kar je dogovorjeno“) se ni mogoče pogajati.
For candidates, it is essentially a matter of agreeing on how and when to adopt and implement EU rules and procedures.
Dejansko to za kandidatke pomeni, da se morajo dogovoriti o tem, kako in kdaj bodo sprejele ter izvajale pravila in postopke EU.
For the EU, it is important to obtain guarantees on the date and effectiveness of each candidate’s implementation of the rules.
Za EU je pomembno, da dobi zagotovilo vsake posamezne države kandidatke o datumu in učinkovitosti izvajanja pravil.
A country that wishes to join the EU submits an application for membership to the Council, where the governments of all the EU Member States are represented.
Država, ki se želi pridružiti EU, mora prošnjo za članstvo vložiti pri Svetu, v katerem so zastopane vlade vseh držav članic EU.
The Council asks the Commission to assess the applicant’s ability to meet the conditions for membership.
Svet zaprosi Komisijo za oceno o zmožnosti prosilke, da izpolni pogoje za članstvo.
If the Commission delivers a positive opinion, and the Council unanimously agrees on a negotiating mandate, negotiations are formally opened between the candidate and all the Member States.
Če Komisija izrazi pozitivno mnenje in se Svet soglasno odloči za pogajalski mandat, se uradno začnejo pogajanja med kandidatko in vsemi državami članicami.
Negotiations are conducted individually with each candidate, and the pace depends on each country’s progress in meeting the requirements.
Pogajanja potekajo z vsako kandidatko posebej, hitrost pa je odvisna od napredka posamezne države pri izpolnjevanju zahtev.
Candidates consequently have an incentive to implement necessary reforms rapidly and effectively.
S tem je kandidatkam dana spodbuda, da hitro in učinkovito izvedejo potrebne reforme.
Some of these reforms require considerable and sometimes difficult transformations of a country’s political and economic structures.
Nekatere od teh reform zahtevajo precejšnje in včasih težavno preoblikovanje političnih ter gospodarskih struktur države.
It is therefore important that governments clearly and convincingly communicate the reasons for these reforms to the citizens of the country.
Zato je pomembno, da vlade jasno in prepričljivo obveščajo državljane o razlogih za te reforme.
Support from civil society is essential in this process.
Podpora civilne družbe je namreč bistvenega pomena v tem procesu.
To help the countries prepare for future membership, a pre-accession strategy is designed.
Za pomoč državam pri pripravi na prihodnje članstvo se oblikuje predpristopna strategija.
Key elements of this strategy include agreements that set out rights and obligations (like the Stabilisation and Association Agreements in the case of the Western Balkan countries), as well as special cooperation mechanisms like Accession or European Partnerships, setting out concrete reform objectives to be achieved by the candidates and potential candidates.
Med ključne elemente te strategije spadajo sporazumi, v katerih so določene pravice in obveznosti (kot so na primer stabilizacijsko-pridružitveni sporazumi z državami zahodnega Balkana), pa tudi posebni mehanizmi sodelovanja, kot so pristopna ali evropska partnerstva, v katerih so določeni konkretni cilji reform, ki jih morajo doseči kandidatke in potencialne kandidatke.
EU financial assistance is another important aspect of pre-accession strategies.
Finančna pomoč EU je še en pomemben vidik predpristopnih strategij.
Accession negotiations take place between the EU Member States and candidate countries.
Pristopna pogajanja potekajo med državami članicami EU in državami kandidatkami.
Negotiating sessions are held at the level of ministers or deputies, i.e. Permanent Representatives for the Member States, and Ambassadors or Chief Negotiators for the candidate countries.
Pogajalska srečanja se odvijajo na ravni ministrov ali njihovih namestnikov, tj. stalnih predstavnikov držav članic, in veleposlanikov ali glavnih pogajalcev držav kandidatk.
To facilitate the negotiations, the whole body of EU law is divided into “chapters”, each corresponding to a policy area.
Zaradi lažjih pogajanj je celoten pravni red EU razdeljen na poglavja, pri čemer vsako poglavje pokriva določeno področje politike.
The first step in negotiations is called “screening”; its purpose is to identify areas in need of alignment in the legislation, institutions or practices of a candidate country.
Prvi korak v pogajanjih se imenuje pregled usklajenosti (screening); namen tega pregleda je določiti področja, ki jih je potrebno uskladiti v zakonodaji, institucijah ali praksah države kandidatke.

Once the EU agrees a common position on each chapter of the acquis, and once the candidate accepts the EU’s common position, negotiations on that chapter are closed – but only provisionally.
Komisija kot osnovo za začetek dejanskega, tehničnega procesa pogajanja pripravi poročilo o pregledu usklajenosti za vsako poglavje in vsako državo. Ta poročila predloži Svetu.
As a basis for launching the actual, technical negotiation process, the Commission establishes a “screening report” for each chapter and each country. These reports are submitted to the Council.
Ko se EU dogovori o skupnem stališču za vsako poglavje pravnega reda Skupnosti in država kandidatka sprejme skupno stališče EU, se pogajanja o zadevnem poglavju zaključijo − vendar le začasno.
It is for the Commission to make a recommendation on whether to open negotiations on a chapter, or require that certain conditions (or “benchmarks”) should be met first.
Pristopna pogajanja z EU delujejo po načelu, da „nič ni dogovorjenega, dokler ni dosežen dogovor o vsem“, zato se poglavja dokončno zaključijo šele ob koncu celotnega pogajalskega procesa.
The candidate country then submits a negotiating position.
Država kandidatka nato predloži pogajalsko izhodišče.
On the basis of a proposal by the Commission, the Council adopts an EU common position allowing opening of the negotiations.
Svet na podlagi predloga Komisije sprejme skupno stališče EU, s čimer se omogoči začetek pogajanj.
Screening report Croatia, Chapter 20 – Enterprise and industrial policy
Poročilo o pregledu usklajenosti s pravnim redom Skupnosti za Hrvaško, poglavje 20 − Podjetniška in industrijska politika
Assessment of the degree of alignment and implementing capacity Overall, Croatia has reached a satisfactory level of alignment with the acquis; it needs to finalise its industrial strategy and improve its capacity to assess industrial competitiveness and improve policy analysis and formulation […].”
Ocena stopnje usklajenosti in zmogljivosti izvajanja Na splošno je Hrvaška dosegla zadovoljivo raven usklajenosti nacionalne zakonodaje s pravnim redom Skupnosti; dokončati mora še industrijsko strategijo in izboljšati svoje zmogljivosti za oceno industrijske konkurenčnosti ter izboljšati analizo in oblikovanje politike […].“
The Commission keeps the Council and the European Parliament duly informed about the candidate countries’ progress, through annual strategy papers and individual country progress reports.
Komisija redno obvešča Svet in Evropski parlament o napredku držav kandidatk z letnimi strateškimi dokumenti in poročili o napredku posameznih držav.
It also monitors the fulfilment of benchmark requirements and progress in respecting undertakings.
Prav tako spremlja izpolnjevanje obveznih zahtev in napredek pri spoštovanju zavez.
Turkey 2006 Progress Report, Chapter 25, “Science and Research”
Poročilo o napredku Turčije za leto 2006, poglavje 25 − Znanost in raziskave
“Turkey’s research policy resulted in significantly increased budgets for research and development: nearly fivefold compared to levels.
„Turška raziskovalna politika je povzročila znatno povečanje proračunskih sredstev za raziskave in razvoj, ki so dosegla skoraj petkratno raven v primerjavi z letom .
New universities have been opened in cities.
V mestih so bile odprte nove univerze.
Improvements were also achieved in Turkey’s science and research capacities including its gradually more successful participation in FP [the th Framework Programme].
Izboljšave so bile dosežene tudi v znanstvenih in raziskovalnih zmogljivostih Turčije, vključno z vse uspešnejšim sodelovanjem v šestem okvirnem programu.
Turkey’s success rate under FP improved and is now about %.
Stopnja uspešnosti Turčije v okviru navedenega programa se je izboljšala in danes znaša okoli %.
However, it is below the EU averages of about %.
Vendar je pod povprečjem EU, ki je približno %.
In terms of funding, Turkey was mostly successful in obtaining small projects.
Z vidika financiranja je bila Turčija uspešna predvsem pri pridobivanju majhnih projektov.
However, EU funding is not achieving its potential.
Vendar financiranje EU ne dosega svojih potencialov.
Taking into account actions that Turkey has taken with respect to mobility of researchers, science and society and % of GDP for Science and Technology Action Plan measures, Turkey is already well integrated into the European Research Area.”
Ob upoštevanju ukrepov, ki jih je Turčija sprejela na področju mobilnosti raziskovalcev, znanosti in družbe, ter ukrepov v okviru akcijskega načrta „ % BDP za znanost in tehnologijo“ je Turčija že dobro vključena v evropsko raziskovalno področje.“
From signing the Accession Treaty to accession
Od podpisa pristopne pogodbe do pristopa
Monitoring continues until accession.
Spremljanje se nadaljuje vse do pristopa.
This makes it possible to give additional guidance as countries assume the responsibilities of membership, and also guarantees to the current Member States that new entrants meet the conditions for accession.
To pomeni možnost dodatnih usmeritev državam pri sprejemanju odgovornosti članstva, pa tudi zagotovilo ostalim državam članicam, da nove pristopnice izpolnjujejo pogoje za pristop.
The Accession Treaty
Pristopna pogodba
Once the Accession Treaty is signed, the candidate country becomes an “Acceding State” and is entitled to certain provisional privileges until it becomes an EU Member State.
Ko je pogodba o pristopu podpisana, država kandidatka postane država pristopnica in je upravičena do nekaterih začasnih posebnih pravic, dokler ne postane država članica EU.
As an acceding state, it can comment on draft EU proposals, communications, recommendations or initiatives, and it acquires “active observer status” on EU bodies and agencies, where it is entitled to speak, but not to vote.
Kot država pristopnica lahko izrazi svoje mnenje o osnutkih predlogov, sporočil, priporočil ali pobud EU ter ima „status aktivne opazovalke“ v organih in agencijah EU, v katerih lahko sodeluje v razpravah, vendar nima pravice glasovati.
Once the ratification process is complete, the Accession Treaty enters into force on its scheduled date, and the accession state becomes a Member State.
Po zaključku postopka ratifikacije začne pristopna pogodba veljati na predvideni datum in država pristopnica postane država članica.
When negotiations on all the chapters are completed to the satisfaction of both sides, the results are incorporated into a draft Accession Treaty.
Ko sta z zaključkom pogajanj o vseh poglavjih zadovoljni obe strani, se rezultati vključijo v osnutek pristopne pogodbe.
If it wins the support of the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, the Treaty is signed and ratified by the candidate country and all the Member States.
Če Komisija, Svet in Evropski parlament podprejo osnutek, pogodbo podpišejo in ratificirajo država kandidatka ter vse države članice.
Helping candidates preparing for membership candidate country’s progress towards the EU depends on how well it implements reforms

EU provides support to the countries in their preparations for EU accession.
EU zagotavlja pomoč državam pri njihovih pripravah na pristop k EU.
The candidate countries’ formal links to the EU may be established in different agreements.
Formalne vezi države kandidatke z EU se lahko vzpostavijo z različnimi sporazumi.
For example, Turkey’s formal links with the EU are enshrined in an agreement first signed in (the “Ankara Agreement”), repeatedly updated since then, and in a Customs Union agreed in .
Formalne vezi Turčije z EU imajo na primer osnovo v sporazumu, ki je bil prvič podpisan leta („Sporazum iz Ankare“) in od tedaj večkrat posodobljen, ter carinski uniji, o kateri je bil dogovor dosežen leta .

Morda bodo morale ustanoviti nove organe, kot je neodvisen organ za konkurenco ali pa agencija za živilske standarde.
Or they may need to restructure existing institutions: de-militarising the police, upgrading environmental and nuclear-safety watchdogs, or giving prosecutors more autonomy in combating corruption.
Lahko pa bodo morale prestrukturirati obstoječe institucije: demilitarizirati policijo, okrepiti organe nadzora na področju okolja in jedrske varnosti ali omogočiti tožilcem več neodvisnosti v boju proti korupciji.
For the countries of the Western Balkans, a special process was established in , called the Stabilisation and Association Process (SAP).
Za države zahodnega Balkana je bil leta določen poseben proces, imenovan stabilizacijsko-pri-družitveni proces.
The SAP pursues three aims, namely stabilisation and a swift transition to a market economy, the promotion of regional cooperation and the prospect of EU accession.
Ta proces je usmerjen k trem ciljem, to so stabilizacija in hiter prehod na tržno gospodarstvo, spodbujanje regionalnega sodelovanja in možnost vstopa v EU.
It helps the countries of the region to build their capacity to adopt and implement European standards.
Državam v tej regiji pomaga vzpostaviti zmogljivosti za sprejemanje in izvajanje evropskih standardov.
In the framework of the SAP, the Union offers the countries of the Western Balkans trade concessions, contractual relations and economic and financial assistance.
Unija v okviru stabili-zacijsko-pridružitvenega procesa državam zahodne -ga Balkana ponuja trgovinske koncesije, pogodbena razmerja ter gospodarsko in finančno pomoč.
Since , the EU has provided some € billion in assistance to the Western Balkans, some of the highest per capita assistance in the world.
EU je od leta zagotovila okoli milijard EUR pomoči za države zahodnega Balkana, kar je ena največjih pomoči na prebivalca na svetu.
These reforms usually imply major investments in know-how and funds.
Za te reforme so običajno potrebni velike naložbe v znanje in izkušnje ter precejšnja finančna sredstva.
The EU offers a wide range of complementary programmes and mechanisms to provide financial and technical assistance in carrying out these reforms.
V okviru EU je na voljo širok razpon dopolnilnih programov ter mehanizmov za zagotovitev finančne in tehnične pomoči pri izvedbi teh reform.
Aware of the challenges that reforms can present to citizens in candidate countries, the EU also promotes strategies to boost public understanding of the accession process, including dialogue between the EU countries and candidate countries at the level of civil society: trade unions, consumer associations and other non governmental organisations.
EU se zaveda izzivov, ki jih reforme lahko pomenijo za državljane držav kandidatk, zato tudi spodbuja strategije, namenjene osveščanju javnosti o pristopnem procesu, vključno z dialogom med državami EU in državami kandidatkami na ravni civilne družbe, to je sindikatov, potrošniških združenj ter drugih nevladnih organizacij.
An important aspect of the EU’s assistance is strengthening institutional capacity, or “institution building”, by developing the structures or training the staff responsible for applying EU rules in the candidate country.
Pomemben vidik pomoči EU je krepitev institucionalnih zmogljivosti oziroma „vzpostavljanje institucij“ z razvojem struktur ali usposabljanjem osebja, ki je odgovorno za uporabo pravil EU v državi kandidatki.
Advice on implementing the acquis is often provided via “Twinning” arrangements, in which experts are seconded from EU Member States, or through short-term workshops.
Svetovanje glede izvajanja pravnega reda Skupnosti pogosto poteka prek ureditev tesnega medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja (Twinning), v okviru katerih so strokovnjaki iz držav članic EU napoteni v države kandidatke, ali prek krajših delavnic.

Dodaten cilj za države kandidatke je sprejetje in izvajanje vseh zahtev za članstvo.
participate in EU programmes, for example in the areas of public health or research, and may also receive grants and loans from international financial institutions.
Pripravljanje držav na članstvo lahko pomeni tudi pomoč državam pri nadgraditvi njihove infrastrukture: izgradnji obratov za odstranjevanje trdnih odpadkov ali izboljšanju prometnih omrežij.
This experience allows candidate countries to learn how to handle the kind of funding they will be entitled to after accession, also helping to familiarise them with EU policies and instruments.
Države kandidatke lahko sodelujejo v programih EU, na primer na področju javnega zdravja ali raziskav, in lahko prejmejo tudi nepovratna sredstva ter posojila mednarodnih finančnih ustanov.
IPA will provide a total of € , million at current prices over –, with precise allocations decided year by year.
Prek te izkušnje se države kandidatke naučijo ravnati s finančnimi sredstvi, do katerih bodo upravičene po pristopu, prav tako pa se podrobneje seznanijo s politikami in instrumenti EU.
The EU has created a new financing instrument to fund its assistance to countries on their way to membership, including a range of incentives and conditions to ensure the best use of EU money.
EU je ustvarila nov finančni instrument za financiranje pomoči državam na njihovi poti do članstva, vključno s številnimi pobudami in pogoji, s katerimi se zagotovi najboljša poraba denarnih sredstev EU.
This single “Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance” (IPA), in force since January , is a simplification of the EU’s previous wide range of support programmes, like Phare, CARDS or SAPARD.
Enotni instrument predpristopne pomoči (IPA) je začel veljati . januarja in pomeni poenostavitev širokega razpona preteklih programov pomoči EU, kot so PHARE, CARDS in SAPARD.
