Getting out of the crisis is a top priority for the Spanish Presidency.
Špansko predsedstvo priznava, da je premostitev krize njegova najpomembnejša naloga,ki pa se je je treba po besedah g. Lópeza Garrida lotiti inovativno, da bi preprečili ponovno sistemsko krizo.
Job creation is the most burning task, not least in Spain itself, where unemployment is close to 20 %.
Najnujnejša naloga je ustvarjanje delovnih mest, tudi v Španiji, kjer je brezposelnih skoraj 20 % prebivalcev.
A postcrisis Europe badly needs active job creation policies, he added.
Evropa po krizi resnično potrebuje aktivne politike zaposlovanja, je dejal državni sekretar.

between civil society and EU institutions, the European Parliament has now been given the option of consulting the EESC.
Ker razpolaga z edinstvenim strokovnim znanjem, lahko tudi pomaga zainteresiranim stranem in akterjem civilne družbe pri pripravi pobud.
The EU Magna Carta has to be respected
EU se lahko z Odborom zdaj posvetuje tudi Evropski parlament.
On top of all the policy fields in which the EESC has been providing opinions for over 50 years, its input will now be needed in additional areas, ranging from sport, through the European research area to energy policy. e impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the EESC’s consultative obligations does not end here, however.
EESO že več kot 50 let pripravlja mnenja o različnih političnih vpra-šanjih, zdaj pa bo prispeval svoje pripombe še na dodatnih področjih, ki segajo od športa in evropskega raziskovalnega prostora do energetske politike. Lizbonska pogodba pa ima za posvetovalno delo EESO še več posledic.
Some 250 years a er Jean-Jacques Rousseau said that the only legitimate form of sovereignty was direct democracy that allowed citizens to participate in making the law, the EU is about to start experimenting with the ‘citizens’ initiative’ that the Lisbon Treaty introduces.
250 let po besedah Jeana Jacquesa Rousseauja, da je neposredna demokracija, ki državljanom omogoča sodelovanje pri pripravi zakonodaje, edina legitimna oblika oblasti, EU začenja preizkušati „državljansko pobudo“, ki jo je uvedla Lizbonska pogodba.
It is worth reiterating that the Treaty enables 1 million citizens from a ‘signi -cant’ number of Member States to ask the European Commission to tackle a problem they feel needs to be addressed.
Naj spomnimo: Pogodba omogoča milijonu državljanom iz večjega števila držav članic, da Evropsko komisijo pozovejo k obravnavi problema, ki se jim zdi pomemben.
It also provides for increased involvement by the EESC in fields where it has already been active.
Predvideno je namreč večje vključevanje EESO tudi na področjih, na katerih je Odbor že zdaj dejaven.
For example, in the social policy area the EESC, in cooperation with social partners and other parts of civil society, has to strive to reinvigorate ‘social Europe’.
Na področju socialne politike naj bi si EESO na primer v sodelovanju s socialnimi partnerji in drugimi deli civilne družbe prizadeval za ponovno oživitev „socialne Evrope“.
It will thus be active in de n-ing and implementing social policies as well as evaluating their overall impact.
Tako bo dejavno sodeloval pri oblikovanju in izvajanju socialne politike ter ocenjevanju njenega splošnega učinka.
If you study European affairs, or are about to take a European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) test, you stand a good chance of being asked this question: does the Lisbon Treaty extend the EESC’s mandate? e answer is that it does — from four years as until recently to five years from now on.
Odgovor je da –s štirih let, kot je bilo doslej, na pet. Toda ker profesorji pogosto postavljajo pretkana vprašanja, pazite, da vas ne bodo zmedli: sprememba bo stopila v veljavo šele jeseni 2010, ko se konča sedanje mandatno obdobje EESO. (mb)
However, as professors o en ask tricky questions, do not get caught out: remember that this change will only apply when the EESC membership is renewed, in autumn 2010. (mb) e Lisbon Treaty is the first EU Treaty to explicitly state the importance of participatory democracy and dialogue with citizens as a means to complement representative democracy.
Participativna demokracija je odličen način za povečanje ozaveščenosti ter spremljanje izvajanja in uporabe na področjih, ki so osrednjega pomena za državljane, kot so na primer temeljne pravice. Listina o temeljnih pravicah je stopila v veljavo, zato bi bilo treba posvetiti posebno pozornost upoštevanju njenih določb, predvsem glede socialnih pravic.

Participatory democracy is a formidable way to raise awareness and monitor the implementation and the application of issues that are of key importance for citizens, such as fundamental rights.
Lizbonska pogodba prva izrecno potrjuje pomen participativne demokracije in dialoga z državljani kot dopolnitve predstavniške demokracije.
With the Charter of Fundamental Rights now in force, special attention should be paid to compliance with its provisions, particularly in its social dimension. e EESC will have two interlinked roles to play in this respect.
Pogodba obvezuje institucije k širšemu dialogu in okrepljenim postopkom posvetovanja; gre za dopolnitev sedanjega modela, po katerem se Evropska komisija o nekaterih predlogih posvetuje z zainteresiranimi stranmi.
First, it will be a vehicle for civil society’s needs and expectations as regards the application of the charter.

In the Paris Declaration of July 2008 that created the UfM, the Heads of State or Government underscored the importance of the active participation of civil society, local and regional authorities and the private sector in its implementation.
V pariški deklaraciji iz junija 2008, s katero je bila ustanovljena Unija za Sredozemlje, so predsedniki držav in vlad poudarili pomen dejavnega sodelovanja civilne družbe, lokalnih in regionalnih oblasti ter zasebnega sektorja pri uresničevanju te pobude.
In fact, many blame the limited success of the Barcelona process on the lack of involvement by civil society and other non-state actors in the cooperation process. is is now to be changed, although the declaration does not specify the form this involvement might take.

The EU is to become a more credible, proactive global player
Nadaljevanje s strani 1EESO je razpravljal o programu španskega predsedstva
Continued from page 1 —Spanish Presidency programme discussed in the EESC civil society is in many cases fairly weak, with little stakeholder readiness to work together. e EESC must offer practical support here, not least in capacity building.
Zaradi vse pomembnejše vloge EU na svetovnem prizorišču pridobivajo na pomenu tudi stiki EESO s Kitajsko, Latinsko Ameriko, Indijo in državamiAKP ter njegovo sodelovanje s STO in bodo dobro izhodišče za njegova prizadevanja, da s svojim delom prispeva dodano vrednost k dejavnostim zunanjih predstavnikov EU.
To that end, the Committee is organising a joint conference in May — the Western Balkan Civil Society Forum.
Med trenutno aktualnimi temami so varnost hrane, trgovina in podnebne spremembe.
Issues currently on the table include food safety, trade and climate change.
V ta namen Odbor maja organizira skupno konferenco, tj. forum civilne družbe na Zahodnem Balkanu.
It will follow up on the 10-year-old Lisbon strategy, which, according to Mr López Garrido, failed to bring about economic convergence.
Še eno območje, ki zahteva veliko pozornosti, je Sredozemlje.
Its voluntary character is to blame, he added.
Tukaj bo EESO nadaljeval skupne dejavnosti s partnerji iz držav, ki niso članice EU.
Learning from the past, the Presidency wants a new strategy to be based on binding commitments rather than recommendations.
Izboljšati je treba konkretno sodelovanje v okviru evropske sosed-ske politike in Unije za Sredozemlje, ki bo tudi glavna tema na naslednji skupni konferenci oktobra v Rimu.
Economic union is the tune Spain will dance to integration is a logical next step on from the single market, which is the cornerstone of the EU, and the single currency.
Ta strategija bo nadomestila 10-letno lizbonsko strategijo, s katero pa nam po besedah g.
He underlined the need to fully implement agreements dating back 20 years that paved the way for the single currency.
Lópeza Garrida ni uspelo doseči ekonomske konvergence. Vzrok za to je dejstvo, da strategija temelji na prostovoljni osnovi, je še dodal g. López Garrido.
We also hope and call on Member States to muster the political will required to achieve this,’ added EESC President Mario Sepi.
Glede na te pretekle izkušnje si predsedstvo želi, da bi bili v novi strategiji namesto priporočil zavezujoči ukrepi.
Another area requiring a great deal of attention is the Mediterranean, where the EESC will press ahead with its joint activities with partners from 11 nonEU countries.
Za zunanje dejavnosti EESO veljajo naslednja tri merila: verodostojni in trajnostni stiki med EU in državami, ki niso članice EU, morajo temeljiti na skupnih interesih, skupni viziji in vzajemnem zaupanju, poleg tega pa morajo biti trdno umeščeni v civilni družbi.
Practical cooperation under the EU’s neighbourhood policy and within the ambit of the Union for the Mediterranean should be stepped up and will be a key element in the next joint conference to be held in Rome in October.
Glede na ta merila bo EESO pomemben partner v zunanji politiki EU, tako za samo EU kot tudi za države in regije zunaj nje.
It needs to have a unique message in the International Monetary Fund.

Tudi vzhodna Evropa prinaša precejšnje izzive, saj gre za raznoliko in deloma nemirno regijo.
Reflecting on this statement, Mr Henri Malosse, President of the Employers’ Group, called for the EU not only to speak with one voice on foreign policy, but also to deliver a single message based on shared values. (mb)

„Vodilo našega predsedstva je gospodarska unija, in nič drugega,“ je na januarskem plenarnem zasedanju povedal španski gost.
Eastern Europe also poses sig-ni cant challenges. is is a diverse and to some extent turbulent region.
Navsezadnje je gospodarsko povezovanje logičen korak naprej po vzpostavitvi enotnega trga, ki je temelj EU, in uvedbi enotne valute.
e basic yardstick of the EESC’s external relations activities is the premise that credible and sustainable contacts between the EU and nonEU countries need to be (i) based on common interests, (ii) underpinned by a shared vision and mutual trust, and (iii) firmly embedded in civil society.
Poudaril je, da je treba v celoti izvajati sporazume, podpisane pred 20 leti, ki so utrli pot enotni valuti, in da bi morala biti gospodarska unija pred monetarno, kar pa se ni zgodilo. „EESO vas bo podprl v teh prizadevanjih.
With that premise in mind, the EESC will be a prime partner in EU external policy – both for the EU itself and for nonEU countries and regions.
Pozivamo države članice, naj pokažejo politično voljo, potrebno za dosego tega cilja, in upamo, da bodo to tudi res storile,“ je dodal predsednik EESO Mario Sepi.
