Enlargement means that candidate countries have to adopt EU standards on border control and handling of refugees and immigrants from third countries.
Širitev pomeni tudi, da morajo države kandidatke sprejeti standarde EU pri mejnih kontrolah in pri obravnavanju beguncev in priseljencev iz tretjih držav.
Therefore, enlargement gives us more control over the problem of clandestine migration.
Zato imamo s širitvijo več nadzora nad problemi tajnega priseljevanja.
The EU can best reduce crime by working directly with the countries of the region.
Najboljši način za učinkovito zmanjševanja kriminala je neposredno sodelovanje z državami iz zadevnih regij.
The EU law enforcement bodies have to work with their counterparts in the Balkans to achieve real results in today’s world of rapid communication and mass travel.
Organi kazenskega pregona EU morajo sodelovati z organi v državah Balkana, da bi dosegli dobre rezultate v današnjem svetu hitre komunikacije in množičnih potovanj.
EVEN SOME BENEFIT? ?
TUDI KAJ KORISTI? ?
First and foremost, we all benefit from the increased stability and peaceful development to which the successive enlargements of the EU have contributed over the years.
Večja stabilnost in miren razvoj, k čemer so prispevale širitve, koristijo vsem.
Secondly, the citizens of the old member states benefit from rising consumer demand in the new members because companies have sold their goods, services and know-how in these dynamic markets, which has helped to keep and create jobs back home.
Državljani starih držav članic pa imajo koristi tudi od večjega povpraševanja potrošnikov v novih državah članicah, saj podjetja na teh dinamičnih trgih prodajajo svoje izdelke, storitve in znanje, kar pomaga ohraniti in ustvarjati delovna mesta doma.
Each machine sold by a German company in Poland benefits German citizens, while each French car sold or transaction carried out by a Dutch bank in the new member states benefits the French and Dutch economies.
Vsak stroj, ki ga nemško podjetje proda na Poljskem, koristi nemškim državljanom, tako kot vsak francoski avto, prodan v novih državah članicah, ali tu opravljena transakcija nizozemske banke koristita francoskemu in nizozemskemu gospodarstvu.
Trade between the old and the new members has quadrupled in the last decade.
Trgovina med starimi in novimi državami članicami se je v petnajstih letih povečala štirikratno.
The old member states have long enjoyed a major trade surplus with the new member states, which has helped to maintain jobs.
Stare članice so v trgovini z novimi državami članicami dosegle presežek, kar je pomagalo ohraniti delovna mesta.
Citizens can benefit from enlargement in many other ways, such as by easier travel, better chances to study abroad, and better business conditions.
Državljanom pa širitev koristi tudi na druge načine, tako na primer lažje potujejo, imajo boljše pogoje za študij in poslovanje.
When the EU structural funds finance highways and bridges in Spain and Portugal, or in Poland, Estonia and Slovenia, all Europeans travelling, living or doing business in those countries benefit from enlargement.
Če s pomočjo strukturnih skladov financiramo avtoceste in mostove v Španiji in na Portugalskem ali na Poljskem, v Estoniji ali Sloveniji, imajo koristi vsi Evropejci, ki tja potujejo, tam živijo ali sklepajo posle.

Olli Rehn Član Evropske komisije, pristojen za širitev vropska unija si že pol stoletja prizadeva za vse tesnejše povezovanje, hkrati pa sprejema nove članice.
Most of the time
Ta dva procesa sta večino časa
The democratically elected governments of the EU Member States, coming together in the European Council, have agreed that future enlargements will concern the countries already working towards EU membership – Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia including Kosovo (under UN Security Council Resolution ) and Turkey.
Demokratično izvoljene vlade držav članic EU, ki so se sestale v Evropskem svetu, so se dogovorile, da bodo prihodnje širitve zadevale države, ki si že zdaj prizadevajo za članstvo v EU. Te države so Hrvaška, Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija, Albanija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Črna gora, Srbija, vključno s Kosovom (kakor je opredeljeno z Resolucijo Varnostnega sveta ZN ), in Turčija.
Membership will only happen when each one of them meets the necessary requirements.
Vsaka od teh držav lahko postane članica šele, ko izpolni potrebne zahteve.
A gradual and carefully managed enlargement process creates a win-win situation for all countries concerned.
Postopen in skrbno voden proces širitve daje največje koristi za vse vpletene države.
the two processes took place in parallel.
potekala vzporedno.
As a consequence, today’s EU with Member States and a population of close to million people is much safer, more prosperous, stronger and more influential than the original European Economic Community of years ago, with its members and population of less than million.
Zato je EU danes s državami članicami in skoraj milijoni prebivalcev veliko bolj varna, uspešna, močna in vplivna, kot je bila pred petdesetimi leti Evropska gospodarska skupnost, ki je štela šest članic in manj kot milijonov prebivalcev.
The purpose of this brochure is to explain in a clear and concise way what the EU’s enlargement policy is about and how it is put into practice.
Namen te brošure je jasno in jedrnato razložiti, kaj pomeni širitvena politika EU in kako se uresničuje v praksi.
It aims to give the reader an overview of how the EU has grown since its creation, where it stands today after having undergone its most important round of enlargement in /, and what the perspective of accepting new members in the future is.
Bralcu želi dati pregled nad tem, kako je EU rasla vse od svojega nastanka, kakšno je stanje danes, po najpomembnejšem krogu širitev v letih in , ter kakšne so možnosti za sprejem novih držav članic v prihodnosti.
Above all, this publication provides a response to frequently asked questions like, “Who decides?” and “How does an aspirant become a Member State?”.
Predvsem pa je namen te publikacije odgovoriti na pogosto zastavljena vprašanja, kot so „Kdo odloča?“ in „Kako država, ki bi se rada pridružila EU, postane država članica?“
A growing membership has been part of the development of European integration right from the start.
Povečevanje števila članic je bilo že od samega začetka del procesa evropskega povezovanja.
The debate about enlargement is as old as the EU itself.
Razprave o širitvi so stare toliko kot sama Unija.
Every time the EU accepts new members it changes.
EU se spremeni vsakič, ko sprejme nove članice.
Thinking about what we might become forces us to think about what we are now, and what we want to be in the future.
Ko razmišljamo o tem, kaj bi lahko postali, moramo premisliti tudi o tem, kaj smo danes in kaj želimo biti v prihodnosti.
I hope that reading this brochure will be both informative and easy, and that it will provide answers to your questions about EU enlargement.
Upam, da bo vam bo ta brošura v informativno in lahko branje ter da bo odgovorila na vaša vprašanja o širitvi EU.
The / enlargement to countries from Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean has proven a great success for the EU, although it has been used as a scapegoat for all sorts of social and economic problems in Europe.
Širitev leta in na države srednje in vzhodne Evrope ter Sredozemlja je bila za EU velik uspeh, čeprav je bila dežurni krivec za vse mogoče družbene in gospodarske težave v Evropi.
Actually, this last round of enlargement has expanded the area of peace, stability and democracy on our continent and

The EU has been a historic success.
EU je zgodovinski uspeh.
It has brought the longest period of peace and unparalleled levels of prosperity to its peoples.
Svojim narodom je prinesla najdaljše obdobje miru in neprimerljive ravni blaginje.
What began as a club of is now home to countries with a population of almost million people.
Kar se je začelo kot klub šestih držav, danes združuje držav s skoraj milijoni prebivalcev.
Treaties that eventually gave birth to what we call today the European Union.
pogodbi, na podlagi katerih je pozneje nastalo to, kar danes imenujemo Evropska unija.
It was an unprecedented step, one that required much courage and vision: countries that had fought each other for centuries agreed to decide together on essential questions for their common future.
To je bil edinstven korak, zahteval pa je veliko poguma in močno vizijo: države, ki so se stoletja vojskovale med seboj, so se sporazumele, da bodo skupaj odločale o vprašanjih, ki so bistvena za njihovo prihodnost.
They also agreed to transfer some of their power to a new level, to what we now simply refer to as the European Union.
Prav tako so se dogovorile o prenosu nekaterih svojih pristojnosti na novo raven, ki ji danes preprosto pravimo Evropska unija.
Integrating new members was part of the plan from the beginning.
Vključevanje novih članic je bilo že od samega začetka del načrta.
The founding fathers were confident enough of their idea to leave the door open for other European countries to join.
Ustanovitelji so dovolj močno zaupali v svoje prepričanje, da so pustili odprta vrata tudi za druge evropske države, ki bi se želele pridružiti.
Helping countries that have the vocation to become members has been the EU’s response to changes in the European political landscape in the past five decades, promoting economic growth and solidarity, and strengthening democratic forces in countries emerging from dictatorship.
EU na spremembe na evropskem političnem zemljevidu v zadnjih petdesetih letih odgovarja s pomočjo državam, ki si želijo postati članice; ta pomoč je namenjena spodbujanju gospodarske rasti in solidarnosti ter krepitvi demokratičnih sil v državah, ki so se osvobodile izpod diktatorskega režima.

But the EU is not just about wealth and improved standards of living.
Vendar EU ne pomeni le blaginje in izboljšanega življenjskega standarda.
The EU is a community of values.
EU je skupnost vrednot.
We are a family of democratic European countries committed to working together for peace and freedom, prosperity and social justice.
Smo družina demokratičnih evropskih držav, ki so predane sodelovanju za mir in svobodo, blaginjo ter socialno pravičnost.
And we defend these values.
Te vrednote tudi branimo.
We seek to foster cooperation among the peoples of Europe, while respecting and preserving our diversity.
Prizadevamo si za spodbujanje sodelovanja med narodi Evrope, pri čemer spoštujemo in ohranjamo svojo raznovrstnost.
The European Union has brought huge advantages to all Europeans – stability, prosperity, democracy, human rights, fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law.
Evropska unija je vsem Evropejcem prinesla izredno velike ugodnosti − stabilnost, blaginjo, demokracijo, človekove pravice, temeljne svoboščine ter pravno državo. To niso le abstraktna načela.
They have transformed the quality of life for millions of people.
Spremenila so kakovost življenja milijonov ljudi.
The benefits of the single market for consumers in the EU are obvious: economic growth and job creation, safer products, lower prices, and greater choice in crucial sectors like telecommunications, banking and air travel, to name but a few.
Koristi enotnega trga za potrošnike v EU so očitne: gospodarska rast in ustvarjanje delovnih mest, varnejši proizvodi, nižje cene ter večja izbira v najpomembnejših sektorjih, kot so telekomunikacije, bančništvo in zračni promet, so le nekatere izmed njih.
Successive enlargements
Zaporedne širitve
The organisation founded in which is now known as the European Union, originally had six members: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Organizacijo, ustanovljeno leta , ki je danes znana kot Evropska unija, je prvotno sestavljalo šest članic: Belgija, Francija, Italija, Luksemburg, Nemčija in Nizozemska.
In , Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom became Member States.
Leta so države članice postale Danska, Irska in Velika Britanija.
Greece joined in , and Spain and Portugal followed in .
Grčija se je pridružila leta , leta pa sta ji sledili Španija in Portugalska.
Austria, Finland and Sweden joined in .
Avstrija, Finska in Švedska so se pridružile leta .
In , in the EU’s biggest-ever enlargement, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia became Member States.
Leta so v največji širitvi v zgodovini EU postale države članice tudi Ciper, Češka, Estonija, Latvija, Litva, Madžarska, Malta, Poljska, Slovaška in Slovenija.
In January , Bulgaria and Romania joined, bringing the EU’s membership up to .
Januarja sta se pridružili Bolgarija in Romunija, s čimer je število članic EU naraslo na .

In addition, the EU must be able to integrate new members, so it reserves the right to decide when it is ready to accept them.
Poleg tega mora biti EU zmožna vključiti nove članice, zato si pridržuje pravico do odločitve o tem, kdaj jih je pripravljena sprejeti.
Article 6(1), Treaty of the European Union
Člen 6(1) Pogodbe o Evropski uniji
“The Union is founded on the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law, principles which are common to the Member States.”
„Unija temelji na načelih svobode, demokracije, spoštovanja človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin ter pravne države, na načelih, ki so skupna vsem državam članicam.“
Some European countries have yet to convert their European perspective into EU membership.
Nekatere evropske države morajo svojo evropsko perspektivo še preoblikovati v članstvo EU.
Croatia, Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are now candidates; with Croatia and Turkey the EU has already begun negotiations towards membership.
Hrvaška, Turčija in Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija so zdaj kandidatke; EU je že začela pogajanja za članstvo s Hrvaško in Turčijo.
The other Western Balkan countries – Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia (including Kosovo under UN Security Council Resolution ) – are also working towards fulfilling the requirements to move ahead.
Druge države zahodnega Balkana − Albanija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Črna gora in Srbija (vključno s Kosovom, kakor je opredeljeno z Resolucijo Varnostnega sveta ZN ) − si prav tako prizadevajo za izpolnjevanje zahtev, da bi lahko naredile korak naprej.
The speed at which each country advances depends solely on its own progress towards our common goals.
Hitrost napredka vsake države je odvisna zgolj od njenega lastnega napredka na poti k skupnim ciljem.
Article 49 of the Treaty of the European Union
Člen 49 Pogodbe o Evropski uniji
“Any European State which respects the principles set out in Article () may apply to become a member of the Union.”
„Vsaka evropska država, ki spoštuje načela iz člena (), lahko zaprosi za članstvo v Uniji.“
Where do we stand?
Kakšno je trenutno stanje?
Turkey and Croatia were recognised by the EU as candidates.
Turčija in Hrvaška sta bili priznani kot državi kandidatki za članstvo v EU.
Accession negotiations with both countries were opened on October .
Pristopna pogajanja z obema državama so se začela . oktobra .
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was recognised as a candidate in December .
Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija je bila priznana kot država kandidatka decembra .
In , the Heads of State and Government of the EU adopted the “Thessaloniki Agenda” reconfirming the perspective of future membership to all the countries of the Western Balkans.
Leta so voditelji držav in vlad EU sprejeli „solunsko agendo“, s katero je bila potrjena možnost prihodnjega članstva za vse države članice zahodnega Balkana.
Consequently, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, including Kosovo under United Nations Security Council resolution , are considered as potential candidate countries.
Zato Albanija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Črna gora in Srbija, vključno s Kosovom (kakor je opredeljeno z Resolucijo Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov ), veljajo kot potencialne države kandidatke.

Who decides?
Kdo odloča?
ew members are admitted with unanimous consent of the democratically elected governments of the EU Member States,
ove države članice so sprejete s soglasno privolitvijo demokratično izvoljenih vlad držav članic EU, ki se sestanejo v Svetu mini-
cide when and on what terms to open and to close accession negotiations with candidates on each policy area.
N ji se bodo začela in zaključila pristopna pogajanja s kandidatkami o vsakem posameznem področju politike.
And it is the Member States who decide when accession negotiations are satisfactorily completed.
Prav tako so države članice tiste, ki odločijo, kdaj so pristopna pogajanja uspešno zaključena.
Long before any accession negotiations start, all agreements between the EU and any potential member – such as Stabilisation and Association Agreements with the countries of the Western Balkans or the Customs Union with Turkey – are reached only after the EU Member States have given their approval.
Že veliko pred začetkom pristopnih pogajanj se sklenejo vsi sporazumi med EU in potencialno članico − na primer stabilizacijsko-pridružitveni sporazumi z državami zahodnega Balkana ali carinska unija s Turčijo −, vendar le po tem, ko so države članice EU dale svojo privolitev.
The draft Accession Treaty has to be agreed upon and signed by every Member State and the candidate concerned before the latter becomes an acceding country.
O osnutku pristopne pogodbe se morajo dogovoriti ter ga podpisati vse države članice in zadevna kandidatka, preden ta postane država pristopnica.
It then has to be ratified by each Member State and the acceding country according to their own constitutionally established procedures.
Nato ga morajo vse države članice in država pristopnica ratificirati v skladu s svojimi ustavnimi postopki.
The European Parliament, whose members are elected directly by the EU’s citizens, also has to give its consent.
Evropski parlament, katerega člane neposredno izvolijo državljani EU, mora prav tako dati svojo privolitev.
When a country applies to join the EU, the Member States’ governments, represented in the Council, decide – after receiving an opinion from the Commission – whether or not to accept the application and recognise the country as a candidate.
Ko država zaprosi za članstvo v EU, vlade držav članic, ki so zastopane v Svetu, odločijo − po tem, ko prejmejo mnenje Komisije −, ali naj se prošnja sprejme in država prizna kot kandidatka.
Similarly, the Member States themselves de-

EU and to the countries joining. Candidates have to demonstrate that they will be able to fully play their part as members – something that requires wide support among their citizens, as well as political and technical compliance with the EU’s standards and norms.
Kandidatke morajo pokazati, da bodo zmožne v celoti igrati svojo vlogo kot članice − to pa je nekaj, za kar potrebujejo široko podporo svojih državljanov, prav tako pa morajo s političnega in tehničnega vidika spoštovati standarde in norme EU.
