Parliament’s President states its key policy recommendations at the start of each EU summit (or ‘European Council’), where the leaders of the Member States agree on overall policy guidelines.
Na začetku vsakega evropskega vrha (ali Evropskega sveta), kjer voditelji držav članic sprejmejo splošne politične smernice, predsednik Parlamenta poda svoja strateška priporočila.
The President of the European Council and the High Rep- resentative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy — two new posts created by the Lisbon Treaty — report regularly to MEPs on their activities.
Predsednik Evropskega sveta in visoki predstavnik Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko – položaja, ki sta bila uvedena z Lizbonsko pogodbo – redno nastopata pred poslanci, kjer predstavita svoje ukrepe.
The Presidency of the Council, which is held by national ministers in rotation, often meets the chairs of Parliament’s political groups and attends plenary sessions to present its programme and report on its results and discuss them with MEPs.
Predsedstvo Sveta, ki je izmenično v rokah nacionalnih ministrov, se redno srečuje s predsedniki političnih skupin Evropskega parlamenta in sodeluje na plenarnih zasedanjih, kjer predstavi svoj program, poroča o rezultatih in razpravlja s poslanci.
The Presidency also frequently takes part in committee meetings.
Predstavniki predsedstva se udeležujejo tudi sej parlamentarnih odborov.
At a plenary session or in writing, MEPs may put questions to the EU Council Presidency on any topic, including the need for action to remedy breaches of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
Poslanci lahko na plenarnem zasedanju ali s pisnim vprašanjem predsedstvo Sveta EU vprašajo o čemerkoli, na primer o sprejetju ukrepov za odpravo kršitev človekovih pravic, načel demo- kracije ali pravne države.

Cooperating closely with national parliaments
OB O ŠČIN S V
The European Parliament is also involved in building and maintaining close links with national parliaments in the European Union.
Evropski parlament sodeluje tudi pri vzpostavljanju in ohranjanju tesnih stikov z nacionalnimi parlamenti Evropske unije.
The treaty reform has brought the national parliaments even more closely into the institutional process, especially at the legislative level.
Z reformo pogodb so nacionalni parlamenti še bolj vključeni v institucionalni proces, še zlasti na zakonodajni ravni.
They are now real participants in the process of adopting European laws, being called on to assess, in particular, compliance with the subsidiarity principle, according to which action at EU level should be taken only when the objectives envisaged cannot be achieved sufficiently at national or local level.
Dobili so namreč aktivno vlogo pri sprejemanju evropske zakonodaje, in sicer tako, da ocenijo, ali je spoštovano načelo subsidiarnosti. V skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti Unija ukrepa le takrat, ko ciljev predlaganih ukrepov ni mogoče zadovoljivo doseči na nacionalni ali lokalni ravni.
If a sufficient number of national parliaments raise objections on the issue of conformity with the subsidiarity principle, the proposal is re-examined and the European institutions must give reasons for any decision to pursue the procedure.
Če določeno število nacionalnih parlamentov meni, da zakonodajni predlog s tem načelom ni skladen, se ga ponovno preuči, evropske institucije pa morajo utemeljiti svojo morebitno odločitev za nadaljevanje postopka.
The national parliaments also contribute actively to the good functioning of the Union by taking part in the treaty revision procedures and by being notified of applications for accession to the Union.
Nacionalni parlamenti dejavno prispevajo k pravilnemu delovanju Unije tudi tako, da sodelujejo v postopkih za spremembo pogodb in so obveščeni o prošnjah za pristop k Uniji.
The European Union cannot accept new Member States without the European Parliament’s approval.
Evropska unija ne more sprejeti novih držav članic brez odobritve Evropskega parlamenta.
MEPs check that the applicant countries full the political and economic criteria laid down in the treaties, attaching great importance to the issue of human rights.
Evropski poslanci v tem okviru predvsem preverijo, ali države kandidatke upoštevajo politična in ekonomska merila iz pogodb, pri čemer pripisujejo velik pomen človekovim pravicam.
Any European country which respects the values of the EU and is committed to promoting them may apply to become a member of the Union.
Za članstvo v Uniji lahko zaprosi vsaka evropska država, ki spoštuje vrednote EU in si prizadeva za njihovo uveljavljanje.
The application is made to the Council, which acts unanimously after consulting the Commission and receiving Parliament’s approval.
Država naslovi prošnjo na Svet, ki o tem odloča soglasno po posvetovanju s Komisijo in po odobritvi Evropskega parlamenta.
It is up to the Council and the Commission to negotiate with the applicant countries and to set the date of accession, but MEPs monitor the procedure until the very day of the accession to make sure that all the conditions laid down in the Treaty are met.
Svet in Komisija sta pristojna za pogajanja z državami kandidatkami in za določanje pristopnih datumov, naloga evropskih poslancev pa je nadzirati proces do dneva pristopa, da se prepričajo o izpolnjevanju vseh pogojev iz pogodbe.
Any country seeking membership of the European Union must conform to the ‘Copenhagen criteria’, named after the city where, in 1993, the Heads of State or Government established the conditions for accession (those conditions have since been tightened).
Vsaka država, ki vloži kandidaturo za pristop k Evropski uniji, mora izpolnjevati københavnska merila, ki so ime dobila po mestu, v katerem so voditelji držav leta 1993 določili merila za sprejem (kasneje so se merila zaostrila).
— economic: existence of a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union;— acceptance of the acquis communautaire: ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.
– merilo spoštovanja pravnega reda Skupnosti: sposobnost prevzeti obveznosti, ki izvirajo iz pristopa, in zlasti delovati za doseganje političnih, gospodarskih in monetarnih ciljev Unije.
In addition, Parliament has called for consideration to be given both to the applicant countries’ preparations for joining and to the Union’s absorption capacity.
Parlament je opozoril, da je treba upoštevati tudi pripravljenost držav kandidatk in absorpcijsko zmogljivost Unije.
MEPs have debated these issues on a number of occasions in recent years.
V zadnjih letih so evropski poslanci o tem večkrat razpravljali.
They gave the go-ahead for opening negotiations with Turkey and Croatia, and supported the candidacy of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Dali so zeleno luč za začetek pogajanj s Turčijo in Hrvaško in podprli kandidaturo Nekdanje jugoslovanske republike Makedonije.

‘Voluntary withdrawal’from the Union
Prostovoljni izstop iz Unije
The Lisbon Treaty now provides the possibility for a Member State to withdraw from the EU if it so wishes.The arrangements for withdrawal will need to be determined in an agreement between the Member States’governments, which will require Parliament’s prior approval.
Lizbonska pogodba zdaj omogoča, da država članica, ki to želi, izstopi iz Unije. Podrobnosti izstopa morajo biti opredeljene v sporazumu med vladami držav članic, ki ga mora predhodno odobriti Evropski parlament.
The country involved will still be able to rejoin the EU, providing it goes through the accession procedure once again.
Država lahko sicer znova postane članica Unije, vendar mora opraviti celotni pristopni postopek od začetka.
The European Parliament’s approval is required for most international agreements concluded by the EU, and Parliament is also involved in shaping the EU’s development and humanitarian aid policy.
Evropski parlament mora soglašati z večino mednarodnih sporazumov, ki jih sklene Unija, ter sodeluje pri opredelitvi razvojne politike in politike humanitarne pomoči EU.

The European Parliament’s chamber is also an important stage for international leaders and personalities.
Glavna sejna dvorana Evropskega parlamenta je pomembna tribuna za mednarodne voditelje in druge osebnosti.
In its relations with the wider world, the Union promotes its values and interests and contributes to the protection of its citizens.

It works for peace, security, the sustainable development of the planet, solidarity between peoples, free and fair trade, the eradication of poverty, protection of human rights and the strict observance and development of international law.
Prizadeva si za mir, varnost, trajnostni razvoj planeta, solidarnost med narodi, prosto in pravično trgovino, odpravo revščine in zaščito človekovih pravic ter popolno spoštovanje mednarodnega prava in njegov razvoj.
No international agreements without the European Parliament
Brez Evropskega parlamenta ni mednarodnih sporazumov
MEPs’assent is required for most of the international agreements which the EU enters into — a number of financial protocols with non-EU countries have been rejected by Parliament on human rights grounds.
Za sklenitev večine mednarodnih sporazumov, ki zavezujejo Evropsko unijo, je potrebna privolitev poslancev. Tako je Parlament zaradi zaščite človekovih pravic zavrnil niz finančnih protokolov s tretjimi državami.
Furthermore, the Commission is required to inform Parliament about progress in multilateral trade negotiations conducted under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and in bilateral negotiations with non-EU countries.
Komisija je dolžna obveščati Parlament o napredku večstranskih trgovinskih pogajanj na ravni Svetovne trgovinske organizacije ali na dvostranski ravni s tretjimi državami.
In the context of those negotiations, MEPs make recommendations which carry a great deal of weight as Parliament has to approve the outcome of the negotiations.
V okviru teh pogajanj evropski poslanci oblikujejo priporočila in uporabijo svoj vpliv, ko je treba rezultate odobriti.
Under the Lisbon Treaty, it is now Parliament and the Council together that adopt legislative acts on the implementation of the common commercial policy.
Po Lizbonski pogodbi Evropski parlament in Svet zdaj sprejemata zakonodajne akte, povezane z izvajanjem skupne trgovinske politike.
An enhanced role in development and humanitarian aid policy
