Since its «rst inaugural meeting in March 1994, the Committee of the Regions has assumed the responsibility of acting as the mouthpiece of the regions, towns and local authorities, through their political representatives, in the Community decision-making process.
Od svoje prve, ustanovne seje marca 1994 je Odbor regij v postopkih sprejemanja odlo┘itev v Skupnosti opravljal nalogo posredovanja glasu regij, mest in lokalnih skupnosti, preko njihovih politi┘nih predstavnikov.
Τe establishment of the Committee represented an important step towards the ful«lment of the goal set down in the preamble to the Treaty on European Union `to continue the process of creating an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe, in which decisions are taken as closely as possible to the citizen in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity'.
Ustanovitev Odbora je bila pomemben odraz volje, i z r a Š e n e Še v preambuli Pogodbe o Evropski uniji, po ¶nadaljevanju procesa ustvarjanja vse tesnejùe zveze med narodi Evrope, v kateri se bo odlo┘itve sprejemalo ┘im b l i Š j e d r Š a v l j a n o m , skladno z na┘elom subsidiarnosti§.
Over the past 10 years, the Committee of the Regions' plenary sessions and Commission meetings have been attended by many who seek to promote the Committee's objectives.
V prvih desetih letih so mnogi hodili na plenarna zasedanja in na seje komisij Odbora regij za to, da bi promovirali njegove cilje.
Τe Committee is a physical entity that directly links the European institutions to the regions, towns and municipalities of the European Union.
Ta odbor je #zi┘na in neposredna vez med evropskimi institucijami ter regijami, mesti in ob┘inami Evropske unije.
It is also an important tool for economic and social cohesion between Member States and its subnational components, the regions and other local authorities.
Prav tako je pomemben dejavnik ekonomske in socialne kohezije med d r Š a v a m i ┘lanicami ter njenimi p o d - d r Š a v n i m i tvorbami, regijami ter drugimi lokalnimi skupnostmi.
Ten years on, the Committee of the Regions has succeeded in strengthening its position in the decision-making process.
Evropska ustava predvideva priznavanje na┘ela lokalne in regionalne samouprave in Odboru zaupa pomembno vlogo nadzora izvajanja na┘ela subsidiarnosti.
Τe European Constitution makes provision for the principle of local and regional self-government and confers upon the Committee an important role in monitoring the principle of subsidiarity.
Ùe vedno pa Odbor regij ni v rangu institucij; ùe vedno ni dovolj povezan z delom Unije na zakonodajnem podro┘ju; ùe vedno nima pravice na Evropsko komisijo naslavljati pisna in ustna vpraùanja.
Nevertheless, the Committee of the Regions does not yet have the rank of institution.
V teh desetih letih je Odbor regij dokazal, da je sposoben prispevati h krepitvi zakonodajnega postopka, tako da vanj vklju┘uje lokalne in regionalne oblasti, ki so odgovorne za izvajanje p r i b l i Š n o 70 % zakonodaje Skupnosti.
It is not as yet s u D c i e n t l y involved in the EU's legislative work, nor does it have the right to submit verbal or written questions to the European Commission.
Skupaj bomo nadaljevali pot v smeri krepitve regionalnega in lokalnega delovanja.

Guest speakers at plenary sessions
Govorniki na plenarnih zasedanjih
During the plenary sessions in the years 1994›2004, the Committee of the Regions has been honoured to welcome and debate with important politicians, and has thus ful«lled one of its original callings: to become a real political forum serving the citizens of the European Union.
Med letoma 1994 in 2004 je Odbor regij gostil pomembne politi┘ne osebnosti, s katerimi je razpravljal na svojih plenarnih zasedanjih. Na ta na┘in je uresni┘il eno svojih temeljnih nalog: postati pristna ¶politi┘na tribuna§ v s l u Š b i d r Š a v l j a n o v Evropske unije.
Mr DELORS, President of the European Commission
Gospod DELORS, predsednik Evropske komisije:
It can continue only with more determination, more concrete successes and greater participation by citizens.
Uspeùno se lahko nadaljuje le z ve┘ duha, konkretnimi uspehi in z ve┘jo s o u d e l e Š b o d r Š a v l j a n o v .
Τe Committee of the Regions will be a unique body on the political scene, by virtue of its tremendously diverse makeup.
Odbor regij bo na podlagi izjemne raznolikosti svoje sestave postal edinstven organ na podro┘ju institucij.
It will be able to exercise a very special kind of power based on expertise and in‹uence.'
Imel bo posebno mo┘, ki bo temeljila na strokovnosti in vplivu.§
President Delors went on to say that the Committee of the Regions has a heavy responsibility: «rstly, to increase citizens' sense of belonging to the Union, and secondly, to warn the Community institutions about the risks of any kind of slippage.
Predsednik Delors je nato potrdil, da Odbor regij nosi veliko odgovornost: njegova prva naloga je pove┘ati ob┘utek pripadnosti d r Š a v l j a n o v Uniji, Še v naslednjem koraku pa opozarjati evropske institucije na raznolika tveganja.
A p o l i t i c a l f o r u m ̌ 1 9 9 4 › 2 0 0 4
¶Nekaj mesecev zatem, ko je v veljavo stopila Pogodba o Evropski uniji, Odbor regij kon┘no postaja resni┘nost.
`Τe creation of the Committee of the Regions is an important political step.
¶Ustanovitev Odbora regij je pomembno politi┘no dejanje.
Alongside the European Parliament, it symbolises European citizenship and is the embodiment of the principle of subsidiarity, and thus an additional institutional means of reducing the democratic de«cit.'
Skupaj z Evropskim parlamentom simbolizira evropsko d r Š a v l j a n s t v o in uteleùa na┘elo subsidiarnosti, je torej dodaten institucionalni dejavnik, ki bo pomagal zmanjùati t. i. demokrati┘no vrzel.§
Mr KLEPSCH, President of the European Parliament
Gospod KLEPSCH, predsednik Evropskega parlamenta:
`Τe Committee of the Regions, which stands at the crossroads where the European and national institutions meet with the citizens, will from now on allow the peoples of Europe to make their voice heard in the Union in a formal, o D c i a l manner at every level of the democratic system.
¶Odbor regij, ki je postavljen na sti┘iù┘e evropskih in nacionalnih instanc na eni strani in d r Š a v l j a n o v na drugi, odslej evropskim narodom omogo┘a, da bo njihov glas upoùtevan tudi formalno in uradno v okviru Unije, in to na vseh ravneh demokrati┘nega sistema.
Τe Committee of the Regions thus helps to broaden the Union's democratic base.'
Odbor regij na ta na┘in prispeva k ùirjenju demokrati┘ne osnove Unije.§
Mr SCHMIDHUBER, Member of the European Commission
Gospod SCHMIDHUBER, evropski komisar za proraｲun in «nanｲni nadzor:
`Today's meeting marks the start of real work for the Committee of the Regions.
¶Odbor regij z danaùnjo sejo pri┘enja svojo konkretno dejavnost.
I would like to thank you for inviting me to attend this «rst `working meeting'.
Zahvaljujem se vam za povabilo k sodelovanju pri tem ,prvem delovnem sestanku`.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish the Committee of the Regions every success in its future work.
To p r i l o Š n o s t bi Šelel izkoristiti, da Odboru regij z a Š e l i m veliko uspehov pri njegovem prihodnjem delu.
I hope that the presentation of regional concerns and the speci«c interests of citizens will be a valuable and indispensable component of European integration policy.'
Upam, da bo zastopanje regionalnih interesov in potemtakem tudi posebnih interesov d r Š a v l j a n o v postalo dragocen element evropske integracijske politike.§
`Over the coming years, the countries of Europe will have to overcome challenges, most of them caused by history and the international environment, and not by European integration.
¶V prihodnjih letih bodo evropske d r Š a v e primorane premostiti dolo┘ene t e Š a v e , ki sta jim botrovala zgodovina in mednarodno okolje, ne pa z d r u Š e v a n j e Evrope.
Even for those who have no European ideals, European integration can at the very least be the means that enables each European country to adapt to what experts call ƒeconomic globalisation•.'
Celo za tiste brez kakrùnih koli evropskih idealov bi z d r u Š e v a n j e Evrope morebiti lahko igralo vlogo sredstva, ki bi vsaki evropski d r Š a v i omogo┘alo prilagoditev temu, kar strokovnjaki imenujejo ,globalizacija sveta` oz. ,globalizacija gospodarstva`.§
Mr MILLAN, Member of the European Commission responsible for regional development
Gospod MILLAN, evropski komisar za regionalno politiko:
`In my capacity of Commissioner in charge of relations with the Committee of the Regions, I am very pleased to be able to address your Committee for the «rst time.'
¶V veliko ┘ast mi je, da lahko kot ┘lan Komisije, pristojen za odnose z Odborom regij, prvi┘ spregovorim pred vami.
`I have always believed in the need to give a voice to regions and local authorities in the decision mechanism process of the Union.
Vedno sem bil mnenja, da je v procesu odlo┘anja Unije nujno treba dati glas regijam in lokalnim skupnostim.
Τe creation of your Committee is an important «rst step and the Commission looks forward to working with you in the coming months and years.'
Z ustanovitvijo Odbora regij je bil storjen prvi korak v tej smeri in Komisija se Še vnaprej veseli sodelovanja z vami v prihodnjih mesecih in letih.§
`Τe creation of the Committee of the Regions is an important step towards a gradual reduction of the European Union's democratic de«cit; its members have the potential to become the principal players in launching the policy of economic and social cohesion.
¶Ustanovitev Odbora regij predstavlja pomemben korak k postopnemu zmanjùevanju demokrati┘ne vrzeli Evropske unije; njegovi ┘lani lahko postanejo glavni akterji pri razvoju politike ekonomske in socialne kohezije.
In this way, we draw ever closer to the citizens and can give them a clearer, more concrete image of Europe.'
Na ta na┘in Evropsko unijo vedno bolj p r i b l i Š u j e m o d r Š a v l j a n o m in jim jo lahko predstavimo v jasnejùi in konkretnejùi lu┘i.§

`I am convinced that European policies, in particular regional policy, need to be better rooted in the cities and regions, and we need to speak to people above all in those places where their interests lie.
¶Prepri┘ana sem, da bi morala biti evropska politika, predvsem regionalna, trdneje zasidrana v mestih in regijah, ter da bi se morali obra┘ati neposredno na ljudi, predvsem v povezavi s podro┘ji, ki jih zanimajo.
We need our policies constantly to engage with citizens, which is why the existence of the Committee of the Regions is a good thing.'
Potrebno je neprestano vzajemno sodelovanje naùe politike z d r Š a v l j a n i in prav zato je Odbor regij nepogreùljiv.§
Mr SPECIALE, Chairman of the European Parliament Committee on Regional Policy

Vzpostaviti Šelimo m r e Š o stikov med Vzhodno in Zahodno Evropo. Radi bi razvili baltsko obmo┘je, hkrati in mo┘no pa upamo, da bo naù trud prepri┘al ostale ┘lanice EU, da je bila njihova odlo┘itev, da Finsko sprejmejo v Evropsko unijo, pravilna.§
`Sweden has joined the European Union, and those of us who are part of Swedish regional and local authorities with decision-making powers intend to work with you in the Committee of the Regions in order to involve citizens as directly and as closely as possible in the EU's decision-making institutions.'

She explained that the European Commission had approved a code of conduct aimed at guiding and strengthening the cooperation between the Commission and the Committee of the Regions.
R a z l o Š i l a je, da je Evropska komisija odobrila ¶kodeks vedenja§, ki naj bi spodbujal in krepil sodelovanje med Komisijo in Odborom regij.
Mr HÊNSCH, President of the European Parliament
Gospod HÊNSCH, predsednik Evropskega parlamenta:
He described the Committee of the Regions as a `major political assembly' and declared, with reference to relations between the Committee of the Regions and the European Parliament, that `the European Union needs them both, as we are not competitors, but rather partners with complementary roles'.
Odbor regij je ozna┘il kot zelo pomembno politi┘no skupù┘ino in hkrati o odnosih med Odborom regij in Evropskim parlamentom dejal, da ¶Evropska unija potrebuje tako enega kot drugega, saj nismo tekmeci, ampak partnerji z dopolnjujo┘imi se vlogami§.
Mr Hênsch therefore believed that the Committee of the Regions' request to be able to be consulted by the European Parliament was `likely to strengthen the links between the two bodies and, at the same time, the consultative power of the Committee of the Regions.'
Menil je, da je namen proùnje Odbora regij, naj se Evropskemu parlamentu omogo┘i posvetovanje z njim, krepitev tako organske vezi med obema institucijama kot tudi svetovalne vloge Odbora regij.
Mr SANTER, President of the European Commission
Gospod SANTER, predsednik Evropske komisije:
You are extremely well placed to achieve this.
Imate izjemno dobre m o Š n o s t i za uspeh.
