By contrast, Lithuania and Ireland are examples of countries whose people almost unanimously recognise the positive impact of EU support.
Vprašani so skoraj soglasno izrazili odobravanje, da je evropska regionalna politika osredotočena na najrevnejše regije in jim pomaga dohajati druge dele EU (85 %).
Europe in the context of globalisation
Vendar pa je večina vprašanih (58 %) menila tudi, da podpora v okviru regionalne politike EU ne sme biti osredotočena izključno na te regije, ampak da morajo imeti korist vse regije.
The survey, which was carried out last January in the 27 Member States, is part of the public consultation launched by Commissioner Hübner last September on the future of EU Regional Policy.
Raziskava, ki je bila januarja lani opravljena v 27 državah članicah, je del javnega posvetovanja o prihodnosti regionalne politike EU, ki ga je septembra lani začela komisarka Hübnerjeva.
According to the Commissioner, “This survey con rms Europeans' con dence in Cohesion Policy.
Komisarka je povedala: „Ta raziskava potrjuje zaupanje Evropejcev v kohezijsko politiko.
Not only do they feel we must continue to support the poorest regions in Europe so as to help them catch up, they also believe that we must continue to help all the regions of Europe.
Prepričani so, da moramo še naprej podpirati najrevnejše regije v Evropi in jim tako pomagati, da dohitijo druge, in da moramo še naprej pomagati vsem regijam Evrope.
They want EU action to be ever more ambitious and capable of meeting the new challenges of the 21st century, such as climate change, demographic challenges and the e ects of globalisation.
Želijo, da so ukrepi EU še bolj ambiciozni in da so se spo-sobni srečevati z novimi izzivi 21. stoletja, kot so podnebne spremembe, demografski izzivi in vplivi globalizacije.
We must therefore equip ourselves with the means to meet this expectation.”
Zato se moramo oskrbeti s sredstvi in načini, da bomo izpolnili ta pričakovanja.“
Respondents almost unanimously approved of the focus of European Regional Policy on the poorest regions, helping them to catch up with the rest of the EU (85%).
Evropsko omrežje za opazovanje prostorskega razvoja (ESPON) je objavilo poročilo z naslovom „Evropa v svetu“.
However, a majority of respondents (58%) also considered that support in the framework of EU Regional Policy should not focus exclusively on those regions, but that all regions should benefit. t.
Poročilo predstavlja statistične in kartografske informacije o glavnih vprašanjih, kot sta: Kako svetovna proizvodnja in mednarodni trgovinski tokovi vplivajo na Evropo?
The European Spatial Planning Observatory Network (ESPON) has published a report entitled 'Europe in the World'.
Katera so vhodna mesta, ki povezujejo Evropo s svetovnim trgom?
Cross-border cooperation between Belgium and the Netherlands
Čezmejno sodelovanje med Belgijo in Nizozemsko
A new cross-border cooperation programme entitled 'Grensregio Vlaanderen-Nederland' (Border region Flanders-Netherlands) has been launched for the period 2007-13.
Začel se je izvajati nov program čezmejnega sodelovanja z imenom „Grensregio Vlaanderen–Nederland“ (Mejna regija Flandrija–Nizozemska) za obdobje 2007–2013.
The programme has a total budget of €190 million, including an ERDF contribution of €95 million.
Celoten proračun programa znaša 190 milijonov EUR, vključno s prispevkom Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) v višini 95 milijonov EUR.
EU fund management
Upravljanje sklada EU
The sectors which Europeans wish to be priority recipients of EU investment are education, health, social welfare infrastructure, environmental protection and risk prevention.
Sektorji, za katere Evropejci želijo, da bi bili prednostni prejemniki naložb EU, so izobraževanje, zdravstvo, socialnovarstvena infrastruktura, varstvo okolja in preprečevanje tveganj.
A very large majority of Europeans hope that, in future, the scope of Regional Policy will be widened to address key challenges such as climate change (85%), globalisation (54%) and demographic challenges (52%). %).
Prav tako menijo, da bi morala biti ta podpora osredotočena na poklicno usposabljanje in pomoč malim podjetjem.
Half of the respondents said that they are aware of Cohesion Policy support provided to their region, town or city.
Polovica vprašanih je povedala, da se zaveda podpore, ki jo kohezijska politika daje njihovi regiji, vasi ali mestu.
Such awareness is more widespread in the 12 new Member States (60%) than in the older Member States (47%).
Ta ozaveščenost je bolj razširjena v 12 novih državah članicah (60 %) kot v starih (47 %).
Public awareness is highest in Slovenia (66%), Lithuania (65%), Austria (64%) and Ireland (64%), while it is lowest in Bulgaria (35%), Cyprus (35%) and the Netherlands (30%).
Ozaveščenost javnosti je najvišja v Sloveniji (66 %), Litvi (65 %), Avstriji (64 %) in na Irskem (64 %), najnižja pa je v Bolgariji (35 %), na Cipru (35 %) in Nizozemskem (30 %).
Germany (46%), France (45%) and the United Kingdom (38%) are below the EU average.
Nemčija (46 %), Francija (45 %) in Združeno kraljestvo (38 %) so pod povprečjem EU.
The '3rd International Annual Symposium EU Funds 2008: ERDF – ESF – EAFRD – EFF', organised by the Europäische Akademie, took place in Berlin on 17-19 March.
„Tretji mednarodni letni simpozij 2008 o skladih EU – ESRR – ESF – EKSRP – ESR“, ki ga je pripravila organizacija Europäische Akademie, je potekal v Berlinu od 17. do 19. marca.
The event attracted representatives of public authorities dealing with the management, evaluation and auditing of EU funds in the Member States and focused on the rst experiences of the programming period 2007-13.
Dogodek je privabil predstavnike javnih organov, ki se ukvarjajo z upravljanjem, ocenjevanjem in revidiranjem skladov EU v državah članicah, osredotočen pa je bil na prve izkušnje, pridobljene v programskem obdobju 2007–2013.

Europeans appreciate the management of EU Structural Funds
Evropejci cenijo upravljanje strukturnih skladov EU
Most respondents appreciated the fact that the principle of subsidiarity was applied in assigning EU Regional Policy strategies and projects.
Evropejci podobno podpirajo tudi načelo „partnerstva“, ki omogoča civilni družbi, da je vključena v upravljanje skladov EU.
Eight out of ten respondents appreciated the fact that EU Regional Policy gives EU Member States and regions the right to decide their own strategies and projects.
Povedano drugače, podpirajo načelo upravljanja na več ravneh, ki je eno od glavnih načel kohezijske politike EU.
Similarly, Europeans also support the principle of “partnership”, which allows civil society to be involved in managing EU Funds.
Večina vprašanih je cenila dejstvo, da je bilo načelo subsidiarnosti uporabljeno pri določanju strategij in dodeljevanju projektov regionalne politike EU. Osem od desetih vprašanih je cenilo dejstvo, da daje regionalna politika EU državam članicam EU in njihovim regijam pravico, da same izberejo svoje strategije in projekte.
Member States’ spending to come under scrutiny
Boljši nadzor porabe sredstev v državah članicah
The Commission has adopted a Structural Funds Action Plan to address the Court of Auditors' recommendations on the control and monitoring of structural actions in Member States.
Komisija je sprejela Akcijski načrt za strukturne sklade, v katerem obravnava priporočila Računskega sodišča o nadzorovanju in spremljanju strukturnih ukrepov v državah članicah.
specific actions to be carried out to strict deadlines and I am confident this pragmatic approach will achieve the results we all seek.’
določa roke za izvajanje posebnih ukrepov, in prepričana sem, da bodo s tem pragmatičnim pristopom doseženi rezultati, za katere si vsi prizadevamo.“
The Plan focuses on improving control at a primary, management level in Member States.
Načrt se osredotoča na izboljšanje nadzora na primarni ravni, to je na ravni upravljanja v državah članicah.
To prevent gaps and errors at this stage, training and guidance for managing authorities will be key, in order to ensure Structural Funds are properly handled.
Za preprečevanje vrzeli in napak na tej stopnji bosta ključnega pomena usposabljanje organov za upravljanje in njihovo usmerjanje, s čimer se bo zagotovilo pravilno upravljanje strukturnih skladov.
Vladimír Špidla, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities added: ‘The Commission will make sure the taxpayers’ money is used correctly.The Plan will improve ex-post controls, apply faster suspension mechanisms and launch nancial correction procedures when necessary.’
Vladimír Špidla, komisar za zaposlovanje, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti, je dodal: „Komisija bo zagotovila, da se bo davkoplačevalski denar pravilno uporabil. Načrt bo izboljšal naknadne kontrole, omogočil uporabo hitrejših mehanizmov odloga in začetek postopkov nančnih popravkov, kadar bo to potrebno.“
Twenty-five Member States have either already sent in summaries, or are about to, of their available audits and declarations for 2007 – the ones who have not fulfilled their legal obligation to provide the information, will be sent a letter warning them they are in danger of facing an infringement procedure if they delay longer.
25 držav članic je že poslalo povzetke svojih razpoložljivih revizij in izjave za leto 2007 ali pa bodo to v kratkem storile. Tistim, ki niso izpolnile svoje zakonske obveznosti, da zagotovijo informacije, bo poslan dopis, v katerem bodo opozorjene, da jim grozi postopek v primeru kršitve, če bodo še dolgo odlašale z izpolnitvijo.
Meanwhile, 2000-06 programmes are being closed and the more effective, ex-post controls should remedy any remaining weaknesses in the system.
Medtem ko se programi za obdobje 2000–2006 zdaj končujejo, bi morale učinkovite naknadne kontrole odpraviti kakršne koli preostale pomanjkljivosti v sistemu.
While examination and supervision are to play a key role in the Commission’s bid to improve its supervisory role, simplification of the control and audit systems is underway for 2007-13.
Pregledovanje in nadzor bosta imela glavno vlogo pri prizadevanjih Komisije, da izboljša svoj nadzor, nadzorni in revizijski sistem za obdobje 2007–2013 pa se že poenostavljata.
This will help identify any weaknesses and deal with them right from the start.
To bo pomagalo ugotoviti slabosti in jih že na začetku odpraviti.
In an extra measure, six Member States have signed up to a ‘Contract of Confidence’, meaning that signatories Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Portugal, Slovenia and the U.K. (Wales) are guaranteeing the reliability of their national audit bodies.
V okviru dodatnega ukrepa je šest držav članic podpisalo „pogodbo o zaupanju“, kar pomeni, da podpisnice Avstrija, Danska, Estonija, Portugalska, Slovenija in Združeno kraljestvo (Wales) zagotavljajo zanesljivost svojih nacionalnih revizijskih organov.
‘This Action Plan is a practical response to the Auditors’ recommendations’, said Commissioner for Regional Policy, Danuta Hübner.
„Ta akcijski načrt je praktičen odziv na priporočila Računskega sodišča,“ je povedala komisarka za regionalno politiko Danuta Hübner.

'Lisbonising' Europe’s regions
„Lizboniziranje“ evropskih regij
Enhancing the role of Europe’s regions in the Lisbon strategy was the theme of the 'Territorial Dialogue' conference, which took place in Brdo pri Kranju (near Ljubljana) in Slovenia on 4 March 2008.
Povečanje vloge evropskih regij v lizbonski strategiji je bila tema konference „Teritorialni dialog“, ki je 4. marca 2008 potekala na Brdu pri Kranju (v bližini Ljubljane) v Sloveniji.
This high-level event, co-organised by the EU Committee of the Regions and the Slovenian Presidency of the European Union, was convened to promote greater involvement of EU regions' in the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs.
Dogodek na visoki ravni, ki sta ga skupaj pripravila Odbor regij EU in slovensko predsedstvo Evropske unije, je bil namenjen za spodbujanje večjega vključevanja regij EU v lizbonsko strategijo za delovna mesta in rast.
Commissioner Hübner spoke about the future of Cohesion Policy, a subject on which the Commission launched a public consultation last September.
Komisarka Hübnerjeva je govorila o prihodnosti kohezijske politike, o kateri je Komisija lani septembra začela javnost posvetovanje.
She welcomed the active role of the regions in this debate, as demonstrated in the report from the EU Committee of the Regions entitled "European Regions and Cities - Partners for the Jobs and Growth Strategy".
Pozdravila je dejavno vlogo regij v tej razpravi, kot je bila opisana v poročilu Odbora regij EU z naslovom „Evropske regije in mesta – partnerji za strategijo delovnih mest in rasti“.
“Member States have grasped the link between European Cohesion Policy and the Growth and Jobs Agenda.
„Države članice so dojele povezavo med evropsko kohezijsko politiko ter načrtom za rast in delovna mesta. Zdaj moramo uresničiti cilje,“ je sklenila komisarka.
'Territorial Dialogue 2008' was the third in a series of annual conferences on this theme.
Konferenca „Teritorialni dialog 2008“ je bila tretja v seriji letnih konferenc na to temo.
The event coincided with the run-up to the Spring European Council and the start of the new Lisbon governance cycle of 2008-10.
Potekala je ravno pred spomladanskim Evropskim svetom in pred začetkom novega cikla upravljanja lizbonske strategije 2008–2010.
Local and regional political leaders used the opportunity to highlight some of the challenges they are facing in implementing the revised Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs.
Lokalni in regionalni politični vodje so izkoristili priložnost in poudarili nekatere izzive, s katerimi se spopadajo pri izvajanju prenovljene lizbonske strategije za rast in delovna mesta.

Solidarity Funding for Greece
Kohezijska politika EU v prihodnje
What next for EU Cohesion Policy?
Solidarnostno nanciranje za Grčijo
The rst results of the recent public consultation on the future of Cohesion Policy were presented at a conference in Maribor on 7-8 April, organised by the Slovenian Presidency of the EU.
Prvi rezultati nedavnega javnega posvetovanja o prihodnosti kohezijske politike so bili predstavljeni na konferenci v Mariboru 7. in 8. aprila, ki jo je organiziralo slovensko predsedstvo EU.
Feedback from stakeholders
Povratne informacije interesnih skupin
The European Commission has proposed to earmark €89.7 million to partially compensate expenditure on emergency actions and the restoration of infrastructure following the devastating res which swept through Greece last August, leading to the death of 65 victims.
Evropska komisija je predlagala, naj se 89,7 milijona EUR nameni za delno nadomestilo izdatkov za nujne ukrepe in obnovo infrastrukture po uničujočih požarih, ki so avgusta lani zajeli Grčijo in povzročili smrt 65 oseb.
This major event was attended by more than 170 representatives from Member States and international institutions concerned with EU Cohesion Policy.
Tega velikega dogodka se je udeležilo več kot 170 predstavnikov držav članic in mednarodnih ustanov, ki jih zadeva kohezijska politika EU.
It focused on a range of issues including the policy's scope, monitoring system and its impact.
Konferenca je bila osredotočena na vrsto vprašanj, ki so vključevala obseg politike, sistem njenega spremljanja in njen vpliv.
Last September, a public debate was launched by the European Commission on the future of Cohesion Policy.
Evropska komisija je septembra lani začela javno razpravo o prihodnosti kohezijske politike.
Around a hundred contributions were received from Member States, regions, cities, EU institutions, economic and social partners, civil society organisations, academics and citizens.
Prejetih je bilo približno sto prispevkov držav članic, regij, mest, institucij EU, ekonomskih in socialnih partnerjev, organizacij civilne družbe, akademikov in državljanov.
The European Commission has adopted a report from its Northern Ireland Task Force, which identifies a number of EU policy initiatives and programmes able to be mobilised in support of the region's economy.
Evropska komisija je sprejela poročilo svoje delovne skupine za Severno Irsko, v katerem je opredeljenih vrsta pobud in programov politike EU, ki se lahko iz-vedejo za podporo gospodarstvu regije.
In 2007-13, six EU programmes, including PEACE III, will provide a total investment of €1.2 billion in the region.
V obdobju 2007–2013 bo s šestimi programi EU, vključno s programom PEACE III, zagotovljena skupna naložba v regijo v višini 1,2 milijarde EUR.
Addressing the conference, Danuta Hübner, Commissioner for Regional Policy, stressed that “Cohesion Policy is not a simple redistribution mechanism or 'money-go-round'.
Izpeljati je mogoče nekaj splošnih sklepov: ogromno podpore ima nadaljevanje evropske kohezijske politike po letu 2013.
It is an investment policy (…).” In the future, Ms Hübner emphasised that Cohesion Policy should focus more on results.
Načelo „namenskih sredstev“ (sredstev, usmerjenih v prednostne naloge Unije) podpirajo nacionalni in regionalni organi.
Evaluations should measure policy's success against performance criteria reflecting the nature of the interventions and policy objectives.
Vendar pa nekateri sodelujoči svarijo pred pretirano usmeritvijo te politike v lizbonsko agendo in opozarjajo, da to gibanje ne sme biti v škodo cilja zmanjševanja razlik.
"Resources in both the Commission and the Member States are limited; we must therefore work together to maximise not only the legality and regularity of expenditure, but also quality, performance and impact", she said.
Teritorialna kohezija ima močno podporo, vendar se njena razlaga zdi precej heterogena; v Uniji obstaja velika zahteva po okrepitvi tega cilja v prihodnosti.
The "earmarking" principle (funds to target the Union's priorities) receives support from national and regional authorities.
Je naložbena politika (…).“ Hübnerjeva je poudarila, da se bo morala kohezijska politika v prihodnosti bolj osredotočiti na rezultate.
However, some contributors also caution against the excessive orientation of this policy towards the Lisbon Agenda and recall that this trend should not be detrimental to the objective of narrowing disparities.
Uspeh politike bi bilo treba ocenjevati glede na merila uspešnosti, ki izražajo naravo posredovanj in cilje politike.
Territorial cohesion is strongly supported but its interpretation appears rather heterogeneous; there is an overwhelming demand across the Union for strengthening this objective in future.
„Sredstva v Komisiji in državah članicah so omejena, zato moramo sodelovati, da bi kar se da povečali ne samo zakonitost in pravilnost izdatkov, ampak tudi kakovost, uspešnost in vpliv,“ je dejala komisarka.

New “NUTS” guide from Eurostat
Novi Eurostatov vodnik „NUTS“
"NUTS", the "Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics" was introduced more than 30 years ago to provide a single uniform breakdown of territorial units for the production of regional statistics for the European Union.
Nomenklatura statističnih teritorialnih enot, „NUTS“, je bila uvedena pred več kot 30 leti za zagotovitev enotne razčlenitve teritorialnih enot za izdelavo regionalne statistike za Evropsko unijo.
Eurostat recently published a new guide highlighting the latest developments on NUTS: the EU's territory is now subdivided into 97 regions at NUTS level 1 (between 3 and 7 million inhabitants), 271 at NUTS level 2 (800 000 to 3 million) and 1 303 at NUTS level 3 (150 000 to 800 000).
Eurostat je pred kratkim objavil nov vodnik, v katerem so osvetljeni najno-vejši dogodki in razvoj v zvezi z enotami NUTS: ozemlje EU je zdaj razdeljeno na 97 regij na ravni NUTS 1 (od 3 do 7 milijonov prebivalcev), 271 na ravni NUTS 2 (od 800 000 do 3 milijonov) in 1303 na ravni NUTS 3 (od 150 000 do 800 000).
A significant majority of the contributions call for further clarification of the allocation of responsibilities between the different territorial levels in the implementation of the Cohesion programmes.
Velika večina sodelujočih zahteva dodatno razjasnitev razdelitve odgovornosti med različnimi teritorialnimi ravnmi pri uresničevanju kohezijskih programov.
Another issue which has emerged from the consultation is the creation of a single fund to implement Cohesion Policy and the desire to further simplify it.
Še eno vprašanje, ki ga je odprlo posvetovanje, je oblikovanje enotnega sklada za uresničevanje kohezijske politike in želja po dodatni poenostavitvi politike.
social cohesion will be published next June by the Commission and will include a summary of the public consultation.
kohezije objavila junija letos in bo vključevalo povzetek javnega posvetovanja.
The Commission will adopt a Green Paper on territorial cohesion in September 2008 to be followed by broad public consultation and an informal meeting of ministers for regional policy under the French presidency in November 2008.
Komisija bo sprejela Zeleno knjigo o teritorialni koheziji septembra 2008, sprejetju pa bosta sledila obširno javno posvetovanje in neformalno srečanje ministrov za regionalno politiko pod francoskim predsedstvom novembra 2008.
This should lead to the publication of an orientation paper in spring 2009 containing the rst concrete ideas on the future of Cohesion Policy post 2013.
To bi moralo privesti do objave usmeritvenega dokumenta spomladi 2009, vseboval pa naj bi prve konkretne zamisli o prihodnosti kohezijske politike po letu 2013.
