The European Economic and Social Committee is hosting an exhibition on ‘European women’ from 8 March to 10 May 2007. This presents a series of photographs taken by the well-known German artist Bettina Flitner.
V Evropskem ekonomsko-socialnem odboru je od 8. marca do 10. maja 2007 na ogled serija fotografij priznane nemške umetnice Bettine Flitner z naslovom Evropejke.
From her early work onwards, Ms Flitner has used a variety of styles: documentaries, journalism and fiction.
Delo Bettine Flitner že od začetka zaznamujejo različni stili, od dokumentarnega in novinarskega do fikcije.
In her latest work on European women with a vision, exhibited at the EESC, she is presenting 50 portraits of great women
Na svoji najnovejši razstavi v EESO – Evropejke, ženske z vizijo – predstavlja 50 portretov pomembnih evropskih žensk, ki so prispevale k snovanju in povezovanju Evrope in ki bodo s tem še nadaljevale.
I wanted to be there because I strongly believe that whatever we propose or plan for the European project, we must act not only for ourselves but for all young people and for future generations.
Dan odprtja razstave, 8. marec 2007, je tudi dan, ki so ga Združeni narodi pred 30 leti razglasili za mednarodni dan žena.
The exhibition was opened on 8 March 2007, the 30th anniversary of International Women’s Day, launched by the United Nations.
Tega vrha sem se želela udeležiti zato, ker sem prepričana, da moramo v vsem, kar predlagamo in nameravamo storiti za evropski projekt, ukrepati ne le zase, temveč tudi za vse mlade in za prihodnje generacije.
We need to re-think how we can grab young people’s attention today.
Ponovno moramo razmisliti o tem, kako lahko danes pritegnemo pozornost mladih.
Youth organisations can play a valuable role in promoting active citizenship and participation.
Organizacije mladih lahko igrajo dragoceno vlogo v spodbujanju dejavnega državljanstva in sodelovanja.
The EU has momentarily lost much of its appeal for young people, and EU leaders must be quick to adapt their language and message about the Union if they are to get every member of the public on board again.
Omenila je tudi nekaj razstavljenih del, nullmed drugimi portrete Simone Veil, ki je po njenem mnenju „ena od mater evropskega gibanja“, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ene najbolj zavzetih

Max Kohnstamm (born Amsterdam, 1914), a Dutch historian and diplomat, former Secretary of the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and right-hand man of Jean Monnet, made a remarkable speech on 14 March 2007 at the plenary session of the EESC. He spoke as part of a debate on the subject of ‘50 years of European integration’.
Vsi politiki EU, institucije EU in vsi člani EESO bi morali v oblikovanje evropske politike za naslednjih 50 let vključiti vprašanja, ki posebej zanimajo mlade, kot so podnebne spremembe, skupna evropska energetska politika in globalizacija.
The creation of jobs, studying abroad, the use of greener forms of energy, environmental protection, and the development of a real migration and security policy are all much more important to young people than we tend to imagine, yet all too often we fail to take adequate account of their views.
Max Kohnstamm (rojen v Amsterdamu leta 1914), nizozemski zgodovinar in diplomat, nekdanji sekretar Visoke oblasti Evropske skupnosti za premog in jeklo in sodelavec Jeana Monneta, je 14. marca 2007 v okviru razprave na temo 50 let evropske integracije s svojim govorom pred plenarno skupščino EESO naredil velik vtis.
The six countries that were the driving force behind the Treaty of Rome after the Second World War had in fact just one watchword: ‘No more war!’
Šest držav, ki je po drugi svetovni vojni zasnovalo rimski pogodbi, je imelo pravzaprav eno samo vodilo: nikoli več vojne!
On the subject of the war he was brief and to the point: ‘Where the law ceases to exist, hell begins.’
Ugotovitev Maxa Kohnstamma o tej vojni je bila kratka in jedrnata: „Ko izgine pravna država, se začne pekel“.
This venerable speaker had been invited by the Committee as guest of honour and he described
Ustvarjanje delovnih mest, študij v tujini, uporaba okolju prijaznejših energij, varstvo okolja in razvoj resnične politike priseljevanja ter varnosti so teme, ki so za mlade veliko bolj pomembne, kot si mislimo. Njihovo mnenje moramo bolj upoštevati.
We should approach these topics with them seriously and in cooperation with all Member States; only then will they feel truly involved in the future of Europe; a future that is, after all, theirs.
Resnični preboj na poti k združeni Evropi sta po mnenju gospoda Kohnstamma pomenili deklaracija Roberta Schumana in zavzetost belgijskega politika Paula Henrija Spaaka.
But in Kohnstamm’s opinion, the real breakthrough came with the Schuman Declaration and the impetus provided by the Belgian politician, Paul-Henri Spaak.
O tem bi morali z mladimi, v sodelovanju z vsemi državami članicami, resno razpravljati; samo tako se bodo počutili resnično vključene v prihodnost Evrope – ki je nenazadnje njihova.
EESC Vice-President responsible for communication
Gospod Kohnstamm je dejal, da je zadovoljen, ker se o Evropi in njeni prihodnosti razpravlja v tako velikem obsegu.
At the same time, he was convinced that solutions would be found for

Interview with EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering (second part):
Pogovor s predsednikom Evropskega parlamenta Hansom-Gertom Pötteringom (drugi del):
Parliament and EESC have complementary responsibilities vis-à-vis European citizens
„Obveznosti Parlamenta in EESO do evropskih državljanov se dopolnjujejo“
The European citizens criticise often that the priorities on the agendas of the European institutions do not always correspond with their priorities and their daily life concerns.
Evropski državljani pogosto izražajo nezadovoljstvo, ker se prednostne naloge programov institucij EU ne ujemajo vedno z njihovimi prednostnimi nalogami, njihovimi vsakodnevnimi skrbmi. Je ta kritika upravičena?
It is a value which we can be proud of and promote throughout the world.
katero smo lahko ponosni in za katero se lahko zavzemamo po vsem svetu.
European values must permeate all aspects of EU policy and our relations with third countries.
Evropske vrednote morajo prežemati vse vidike politike EU in naše odnose s tretjimi državami.
I have already met a series of leaders from various countries and I constantly stress these points.
Srečal sem se že z nekaterimi voditelji držav in vlad in te točke vedno znova močno poudarjam.
This is linked to my earlier comments on bringing Europe closer to the citizen.
To je povezano z mojimi prejšnjimi pripombami, da je treba Evropo približati državljanom.
We can only achieve this if we remain responsive to the real needs of citizens.
To lahko dosežemo le, če bomo ostali odprti za njihove resnične potrebe.
The Parliament and EESC are well-placed to do this through their direct contacts with all sections of society.
Parlament in EESO sta zaradi svojega neposrednega stika z vsemi deli družbe v dobrem položaju, da to storita.

In 2009 there will be elections to the European Parliament.
Leta 2009 bodo volitve v Evropski parlament.
What actions do you expect to take to ensure a high rate of participation among the European citizens?
Kaj nameravate ukreniti, da bi med evropskimi državljani zagotovili visoko volilno udeležbo?
Recently, I addressed a conference on Belarus at which the leader of the democratic opposition Mr Aliaksandr Milinkievich was also a speaker.
Pred kratkim sem govoril na neki konferenci o Belorusiji, na kateri je govoril tudi vodja beloruske demokratične opozicije Aleksander Milinkievič.
I reassured him of my personal, and Parliament’s, unwavering commitment to these values which I hold to be universal.
Zagotovil sem mu, da se tako jaz sam kot tudi Parlament brez pridržkov zavzemava za te vrednote, ki so po našem mnenju univerzalne.
The citizens of Belarus have the same right to expect democracy, rule of law and fundamental freedoms.
Državljani Belorusije lahko z enako pravico kot mi pričakujejo demokracijo, pravno državo in temeljne svoboščine.
We in the EU who have gained these must show solidarity with them.
Mi v EU, ki smo te pravice dosegli, moramo pokazati, da smo z njimi solidarni.
EESC Info: In a recent interview with EESC Info, Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission, said that the EESC can boost its influence — even without any new arrangements for participatory democracy.
Nekdanji predsednik Evropske komisije Jacques Delors je v nedavnem pogovoru za EESO Info dejal, da lahko EESO poveča svoj vpliv celo brez novih korakov za krepitev participativne demokracije.
Do you agree with this?
Se strinjate s tem?
Jeanne Devos, a Belgian nun who tries to help the poorest people in India, said recently in an interview that we should better globalise solidarity rather than the economy.
Belgijska redovnica Jeanne Devos, ki si prizadeva pomagati revnim v Indiji, je pred kratkim v nekem intervjuju dejala, da bi morali namesto gospodarstva raje globalizirati solidarnost.
Do you agree with this?
Se s tem strinjate?
In the first place, I sincerely hope that we will succeed in resolving the question of the Treaty on a Constitution for Europe in time for the 2009 elections.
Najprej: iskreno upam, da nam bo uspelo vprašanje ustavne pogodbe rešiti pravočasno, do volitev leta 2009.
For this to happen, we will need the full constructive engagement of the Member States and all the EU institutions.
Za to potrebujemo neomejeno in konstruktivno zavzetost držav članic in vseh institucij EU.
They should then be in a position to ratify a document which is a clear statement of European values, including legally binding fundamental rights and freedoms.
Države članice bi zdaj morale biti v položaju, da lahko ratificirajo dokument, ki je jasna opredelitev za evropske vrednote, vključno s pravno zavezujočimi temeljnimi pravicami in svoboščinami.
This will make a major contribution to the 2009 elections being genuine European elections where citizens across the 27 Member States can expect their politicians to engage on European issues in general, and the Treaty in particular.
To bo odločilno prispevalo k temu, da bodo volitve 2009 prave evropske volitve, na katerih lahko državljani v 27 državah članicah od svojih politikov pričakujejo, da se bodo ukvarjali z evropskimi temami nasploh in še posebej z ustavno pogodbo.
The EU must remain faithful to its founding principles.
V govoru ob svoji izvolitvi ste rekli, da so vaša vodilna načela spoštovanje človekovega dostojanstva, pravna država in solidarnost.
It was never intended to be an exclusively economic entity, as the creating of the ESC in the Treaty of Rome proves.
Kako boste ta načela v vsakodnevnem delu Evropskega parlamenta prenašali v prakso?
Economic growth is something which we can view positively because it is the basis for improving the living standards of all our citizens.
Nikoli ni bila zamišljena kot izključno gospodarska tvorba, to dokazuje ustanovitev Ekonomskosocialnega sveta z Rimsko pogodbo.
The benefits of recent global economic growth have not always been evenly spread.
Na gospodarsko rast lahko gledamo pozitivno zato, ker je podlaga za izboljšanje življenjskih razmer vseh naših državljanov.
I am thinking in particular of the gap in living standards between Europe and Africa.
Pri tem mislim predvsem na prepad med življenjsko ravnjo v Evropi in v Afriki.
I fully agree that Europe’s concern must not stop at our own doorstep.
Trdno sem prepričan, da se ne smemo ukvarjati le z našimi domačimi skrbmi.
We must be strong advocates of global solidarity.
Odločno se moramo boriti za globalno solidarnost.
Hans-Gert-Pöttering: This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding Treaty of Rome.
Letos praznujemo 50. obletnico Rimske pogodbe.
From the outset the social partners were included in the process of building Europe through the creation of the, then, ESC.
Socialni partnerji so bili z ustanovitvijo tedanjega Ekonomskosocialnega sveta že od samega začetka vključeni v graditev Evrope.
In successive treaty revisions this role was enhanced.
Pri poznejših revizijah pogodbe je bila ta vloga še okrepljena.
On 7 February I addressed a special conference in Maastricht to mark the 15th anniversary of the signing of the treaty named after that city.
7. februarja sem imel govor na konferenci v Maastrichtu ob 15. obletnici pogodbe, imenovane po tem mestu.
The Maastricht Treaty was the one which introduced the concept of European citizenship and once again reinforced the EESC.
Maastrichtska pogodba je bila tista, s katero je bil uveden pojem evropskega državljanstva in ponovno okrepljen EESO.
These items are clearly linked and the EESC remains fully relevant to the process.
Ta vprašanja so jasno povezana in EESO je v tem procesu še vedno zelo pomemben.
The Committee can enhance its influence by continuing to focus on the issues which are of concern to European citizens and by ensuring that these concerns are heard.
Odbor lahko poveča svoj vpliv tako, da se še naprej osredotoča na vprašanja, ki so pomembna za evropske državljane, in zagotavlja, da se sliši njihov glas.
Financial services in Europe: consumers need to feel ‘at home’ in Europe served rather as a driving force and a quality criterion for that market’. The goal had to be to enable consumers to feel ‘at home’ not just in their home country but in Europe, too.
Finančne storitve v Evropi: potrošniki naj se povsod v Evropi počutijo doma sila in merilo kakovosti zanj.“ Cilj je potrošnikom omogočiti, da se počutijo doma, ne samo v svoji matični državi, ampak povsod v Evropi.
On 16 March 2007, on the occasion of European Consumer Day, the EESC and the German Federal Consumers’ Association (VZBV) gathered, in Berlin, 200 experts in the fields of consumer protection to discuss EU measures and objectives and the future of ‘financial services in Europe’.
EESO in nemško zvezno združenje potrošnikov (VZBV) sta 16. marca 2007 ob evropskem dnevu potrošnikov v Berlinu z 200 strokovnjaki s področja varstva potrošnikov razpravljala o ukrepih in ciljih EU ter o prihodnosti finančnih storitev v Evropi.
The EESC advocates the principle of ‘upward harmonisation’ as a key element of the internal market.
EESO zagovarja načelo „usklajevanja navzgor“, ključni element notranjega trga.
Dimitris Dimitriadis, EESC President, supported ‘increasing consumer confidence, legal certainty and market efficiency in respect of payment transactions in the internal market’.
Predsednik EESO, Dimitris Dimitriadis, je podprl „povečanje zaupanja potrošnikov, pravne varnosti in tržne učinkovitosti glede plačilnih transakcij na notranjem trgu“.
The drive to ensure transparency for consumers also has to play a major role.
Pomembno vlogo morajo imeti tudi prizadevanja, da se potrošnikom zagotovi preglednost.
The euro has facilitated trade, but the financial services markets are still not sufficiently harmonised.
Sedanjo zakonodajo je treba krepiti in v celoti izvajati, hkrati pa se izogibati prekomernemu zakonskemu urejanju.
Meglena Kuneva, Consumer Protection Commissioner, underlined the important need to have self-assured, well-informed and strong consumers who could act as a driving force for the economy.
Komisarka za potrošniške zadeve Meglena Kuneva je poudarila, da je pomembno imeti samozavestne, dobro obveščene in odločne potrošnike, ki so lahko gonilna sila gospodarstva.
Ms Kuneva stressed that: ‘consumers should be steering economic development’.
„Potrošniki bi morali usmerjati gospodarski razvoj,“ je poudarila ga. Kuneva.
organising the internal market, highlighting the fact that ‘consumer protection did not constitute an impediment to an effective internal market but
Z evrom je trgovanje lažje, toda finančne storitve še niso dovolj usklajene
The EESC and the VZBV drew attention to the need to safeguard the interests of consumers when
EESO in VZBV sta opozorila na potrebo po varovanju interesov potrošnikov pri oblikovanju notranjega trga, pri tem pa poudarila dejstvo, da „varstvo potrošnikov ni ovira za učinkovitost notranjega trga, ampak je gonilna
Ms Edda Müller, President of the VZBV, pointed that in the struggle to achieve full harmonisation high-grade national consumer protection standards would fall by the wayside.
Predsednica VZBV, Edda Müller, je izrazila bojazen, da bodo zaradi prizadevanj za popolno usklajenost zanemarjeni visoki nacionalni standardi varstva potrošnikov.
Transport policy needs a geographically differentiated approach accessibility for special user needs and improved security and safety.
Prometna politika potrebuje geografsko diferenciran pristop promet, hkrati pa je treba okrepiti pravice potnikov, izboljšati dostop uporabnikom s posebnimi potrebami ter izboljšati zanesljivost in varnost.
At its plenary session of 15 March 2007, which was attended by Jacques Barrot, Transport Commissioner, the EESC adopted an opinion on the mid-term review of the Commission’s transport White Paper — ‘Keeping Europe on the move’.
Na plenarnem zasedanju 15. marca 2007, ki se ga je udeležil komisar za promet Jacques Barrot, je EESO sprejel mnenje o vmesnem pregledu bele knjige Komisije o prometu z naslovom Naj Evropa ostane v gibanju.
During the discussion of the opinion, EESC members emphasised the crucial role of public transport for social cohesion and sustainable development, the reduction of the negative impact of mobility in terms of energy use and the importance of the TEN-T infrastructure.
Med razpravo o mnenju so člani EESO poudarili odločilno vlogo javnega prometa za socialno kohezijo in trajnostni razvoj, zmanjšanje negativnega vpliva mobilnosti s stališča uporabe energije ter pomen infrastrukture vseevropskega prometnega omrežja.
He underlined that a promotion of public transport has to go along with strengthened passenger rights, better
Po njegovem mnenju je mobilnost bistvena za blaginjo Evrope in prosto gibanje državljanov.
In its opinion, the EESC stressed that greater effort should be made to improve the transport network with, both, central countries with high level of congestion and peripheral and border zones.
Poudaril je, da mora biti somodalnost (razvoj sinergij med vsemi vrstami prevoza) osrednji del prometne politike EU, ter da vmesni pregled vključuje pravice potnikov in varnost.
Commission Vice-President Barrot welcomed the opinion of the EESC on a ‘Mid-term review of the transport White Paper’.
Povedal je še, da „obstajajo neposredne povezave med energetsko politiko in našo prometno politiko, med onesnaževanjem in porabo, zaradi česar je usklajenost zelo pomembna.
He indicated that mobility is essential for Europe’s prosperity and for free movement of citizens.
Okrepiti moramo dialog med socialnimi partnerji, da bi Evropo vodili skupaj. EESO ima pri tem pomembno vlogo.“
He insisted that co-modality — the development of a synergy between all types of transport — must lie at the heart of the EU’s transport policy.
Poročevalec tega mnenja, Rafael Barbadillo-López, je bil kritičen do poročila Komisije, ker ne upošteva javnih storitev medmestnega cestnega potniškega prometa kot načina doseganja ciljev, ki jih je določila Komisija, kot npr. zmanjšanja preobremenjenosti, onesnaženja in porabe goriva.
The Vice-President also emphasised that the mid-term review includes passenger rights and safety.
Poudaril je, da je treba spodbujati javni

EESC proposals for dealing with the economic and budgetary impacts of an ageing society
Res je, da ni več nobene velesile, ki bi imela v rokah vojaško moč in nadvlado, vendar lahko danes ena sama oseba izdela grozovito orožje.
In the opinion, prepared by rapporteur Ms Florio, the Committee insists that the removal of older workers from their jobs must be discouraged.
V mnenju, ki ga je pripravila poročevalka ga. Florio, Odbor poudarja, da je treba preprečevati izključevanje starejših delavcev s trga delovne sile.
In this context, lifelong learning programmes are key to making more effective use of workers aged over 50.
Za večje vrednotenje delavcev, starih nad 50 let, so zato ključnega pomena programi vseživljenjskega učenja.
The ageing society will affect the labour markets in particular.
Staranje prebivalstva bo vplivalo predvsem na trge dela
Europe’s problems, but that they would never be definitive as the situation was constantly evolving.
Tudi priseljevanje je navedeno kot eden od potrebnih odgovorov na izziv staranja prebivalstva.
He was not worried about relations between EU countries, but he was concerned about Europe’s position in the international arena, as ‘the future of Europe is the future of the world’.
Celovita politika vključevanja in zaposlovanja je namreč lahko gibalo rasti in razvoja, zato bi bilo treba izkoristiti sposobnosti, delovne izkušnje in izobrazbo priseljencev.
Holistic integration and employment policies can serve as motors for growth and development. Immigrants’ skills, vocational expe- rience and educational qualifications should be harnessed.
Po mnenju gospoda Kohnstamma je zato pomembno, da se državljani zavejo, da morajo prevzeti skupno odgovornost za rešitev težav in da morajo za svetovni red skrbeti vse države skupaj, ne pa ena sama.
Moreover, the Committee identifies research and innovation as a key investment for both future generations and today’s Europeans.
Odbor meni, da so raziskave in inovacije ključna naložba tako za prihodnje generacije kot za današnje evropske državljane.
Young people must be encouraged to take up science courses at university, and conditions conducive to employment in the technological and research fields must be created.
Mlade je treba spodbujati, da se na univerzitetni ravni odločajo za naravoslovne programe, in ustvarjati pogoje za zaposlovanje na področju tehnologije in raziskav.
Mr Kohnstamm therefore felt it essential that people recognise that they were jointly responsible for solving problems and that all countries together, and not just one individual State, had to maintain order.
Na koncu je pozval člane EESO, naj še naprej sodelujejo v procesih evropske integracije, saj so neposredno povezani z „akterji“ družbe in nenehno v tesnem stiku s širšo javnostjo.
In conclusion, he appealed to the members of the EESC to continue to work together on the European integration project, as they were directly involved with the stakeholders and therefore in close contact with the public.
Odbor poziva Evropsko unijo in države članice k zagotavljanju brezskrbnega in dostojnega obdobja starosti in zato tudi ustreznega pokojninskega sistema za prihodnje generacije.
