An innovative example of this new approach are the citizens’ consultations, culminating in a citizens’ summit in Brussels in May this year.
Komisija si pri svojem delu tudi prizadeva uporabljati najvišje standarde javne službe. To vključuje spodbujanje visoke stopnje odprtosti prek pravil o dostopu do informacij in o posvetovanju.
e Commission also seeks to apply the highest standards of public service to the way in which it works.
Javna posvetovanja so zdaj redni sestavni del vseh večjih političnih pobud, kar vsakomur omogoča, da že v zgodnji fazi vpliva na oblikovanje politike.
is includes promoting a high degree of openness through rules on access to information and on consultation. e Commission’s European transparency initiative set up a new framework for relations with lobbyists and brought more transparency on the beneficiaries of EU funds.
Vsako leto se zdaj izvede več kot 100 takih posvetovanj. Prav tako se ključni predlogi izdelajo s pomočjo javno dostopnih ocen učinka za zagotovitev, da so bile gospodarske, socialne in okoljske posledice ukrepa skrbno premišljene.
Public consultations are now a standard feature of all major policy initiatives, giving everyone a chance to influence policy at an early stage — over 100such consultations are now launched each year.
Hkrati si Komisija prizadeva, da bi poenostavila zakonodajo EU in jo približala državljanom.
And key proposals are worked through with a publicly-available impact assessment to ensure that the economic, social and environmental consequences of action have been carefully thought through.
Podan je bil predlog za umik okrog 1 300 aktov, kar predstavlja okrog 10% celotnega korpusa, sledilo pa naj bi jih še več.
At the same time, the Commission has been working to simplify the EU rulebook and make it more accessible for citizens.
Ker 80% proračuna EU vplačajo nacionalni organi, je sodelovanje z organi držav članic bistvenega pomena za napredovanje.
Some 1300 acts have been proposed for removal from the statute book, some 10 % of the total, with more to follow.
Primer napredka je odločitev Sodišča, s katerim je dalo soglasje izkazom za leto 2007.
Europe’s success tomorrow relies on its actions today. e European Union is built on the foundations of core values and agreed long-term goals such as open societies and open economies.
Uspeh Evrope v prihodnosti temelji na sedanjih dejavnostih. Evropska unija je zgrajena na temeljnih vrednotah in dogovorjenih dolgoročnih ciljih, kot so odprte družbe in odprta gospodarstva.
Enlargement required a careful partnership to prepare new Member States to take on the responsibilities of membership, and the EU is now reaping the benefit: both old and new Member States have enjoyed more prosperity and more security as a result.
Širitev je zahtevala posebna partnerstva, da so se nove države članice pripravile na prevzem odgovornosti članstva, EU pa ima zdaj velike koristi, saj so tako stare kot nove države članice deležne večje blaginje in varnosti.
Economic integration has reached the stage that 80% of exports from the 12 newer Member States go to the 15 ‘old’ EU countries, while the last decade has seen the share of EU-15 exports taken by the 12 newcomers grow by over 50%. %.
Gospodarsko povezovanje je doseglo stopnjo, na kateri je 80% izvoza iz novejših držav članic namenjenega EU-15, v zadnjem desetletju pa se je delež izvoza iz EU-15 v EU-12 povečal za več kot 50%. %.
e long-term challenges facing Europe today are different in nature and shape, and require new types of response.
Dolgoročni izzivi, s katerimi se Evropa sooča danes, so drugačni, zato zahtevajo tudi novo vrsto odziva.
Global competition is intensifying, providing both an opportunity and a test. Knowledge

An ageing population requires society to adapt. e limits to the supply of essential resources, like energy, are clearer than ever.
Omejitve oskrbe z osnovnimi viri, kot je energija, so vse bolj očitne.
And climate change threatens future generations with the spectre of huge damage to our environment, our livelihoods and our stability.
Podnebne spremembe ogrožajo prihodnje generacije različnimi velikimi škodljivimi posledicami za naše okolje, preživetje in stabilnost.
Sustainable development requires the EU to chart the right path forward.
EU mora začrtati pravo pot naprej za trajnostni razvoj.
Over the past five years, the European Union has tackled these challenges head on.
V zadnjih petih letih je Evropska unija napredovala pri reševanju teh izzivov.
It has shown its capacity to bring change and reform, balancing different interests and different concerns.
Pokazala je zmožnost spreminjanja in reformiranja ter hkrati upoštevala različne interese in pomisleke.
It has set out a vision for the European economy which plays to Europe’s strengths in terms of knowledge and a robust social model.
Določila je vizijo za evropsko gospodarstvo, ki temelji na prednosti Evrope v smislu znanja in trdnega socialnega modela.
It has agreed a spending programme where for the first time, over half the EU budget will be devoted to competitiveness and jobs.
Dosegla je soglasje o programu porabe, v katerem bo prvič v zgodovini več kot polovica proračuna EU namenjena konkurenčnosti in delovnim mestom.
It has successfully enlarged the euro area to four new Member States.
Euroobmočje je uspešno razširila na štiri nove države članice.

Dosegla je soglasje za najobsežnejši program v svetovnem merilu, ki bo Evropo pripravil za nizkoogljično prihodnost. Rezultat tega so postavljeni temelji, ki jih bo Evropa zanesljivo nadgradila.
Economic reform and social justice e economic crisis has shown the human cost of recession.
Med gospodarsko krizo se je pokazalo, kakšen davek morajo plačevati ljudje zaradi recesije.
Families and businesses across Europe have been hit by job cuts, falling incomes and empty order books.
Družine in podjetja po Evropi so prizadeli izguba delovnih mest in prihodkov ter upad naročil.
Public services, pensions and social protection are all being squeezed by a fall in government revenue.
Javne storitve, pokojnine in socialna varnost so oslabljene zaradi zmanjšanja prihodkov države.
And the results of increasing deficits to give room for economic stimulus will be felt well into the next decade.
Posledice povečanja primanjkljaja, zaradi česar bodo tudi gospodarske spodbude manjše, bo čutiti tudi v naslednjem desetletju.
Encouraging growth and jobs has been at the top of the EU’s priorities. e European Commission set the scene by revitalising the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs. is strategy is all about helping to deliver a more competitive economy, create more jobs and give the best deal for consumers: an economy ready to take advantage of the opportunities of globalisation.
Cilj te strategije je pomagati pri oblikovanju konkurenčnejšega gospodarstva, več delovnih mest in najboljših pogojev za potrošnike. To je gospodarstvo, ki je pripravljeno izkoristiti priložnosti, ki jih daje globalizacija.
Amidst the financial and economic crisis there was a need to complement the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs with short-term measures creating immediate effects, starting with rescue operations in the banking sector, then providing the framework for a targeted fiscal stimulus at national and European level, and finally creating the conditions for the return to normal lending by addressing the problem of impaired assets in the banking sector.
Sredi finančne in gospodarske krize je bilo treba dopolniti lizbonsko strategijo za rast in delovna mesta s kratkoročnimi ukrepi s takojšnjim učinkom, od posegov za reševanje bančnega sektorja preko okvirov za ciljne davčne spodbude na nacionalni in evropski ravni do ustvarjanja pogojev za vračanje bank k običajnim dejavnostim kreditiranja z reševanjem problema oslabljenih sredstev v bančnem sektorju.
Furthermore, the Commission has also led the reform of financial markets, proposing a more effective architecture for supervision, and putting forward measures in areas including capital requirements, credit ratings agencies, hedge funds and private equity, to re-establish confidence and restore the demand for credit.
Poleg tega je Komisija tudi vodila reformo finančnih trgov in predlagala učinkovitejši nadzor ter predložila ukrepe na področjih, ki vključujejo kapitalske zahteve, bonitetne agencije, sklade hedge in zasebni kapital, da bi se ponovno vzpostavilo zaupanje in povpraševanje po kreditih.
One of the top priorities before and beyond the crisis remains investing in people, in innovation and research, and creating the right climate for businesses to reach new markets and create new jobs.
Ena najpomembnejših prednostnih nalog pred in med krizo ostaja naložba v ljudi, inovacije in raziskave ter ustvarjanje primerne klime za podjetja, da se usmerijo na nove trge in ustvarjajo nova delovna mesta.
And the number of adults in learning activities has risen to almost 10%. e European Social Fund is now supporting training for some 9 million people every year, with action in every Member State.
Skoraj tretjina več je končala študij na smereh matematike, naravoslovja in tehnologije. Število odraslih, ki se izobražujejo, se je povečalo na skoraj 10%.
At the same time, the EU has set out how flexicurity can offer the right balance to today’s workers, creating obligations to develop employability whilst encouraging a fluid labour market.
Hkrati pa je EU določila, v kolikšnem obsegu lahko prožna varnost današnjim delavcem nudi pravo ravnovesje, tako da določa obveznosti za razvoj zaposljivosti in spodbuja mobilnost na trgu dela.
Training for the future
Usposabljanje za prihodnost
The Commission acted quickly to bring support to workers in the face of job losses.
Komisija se je hitro odzvala in zagotovila spodbude delavcem, ki jim grozi izguba delovnega mesta.
For example, the closure of the MG Rover factory in the United Kingdom meant some 6000 lost jobs.
Na primer ob zaprtju tovarne MG Rover v Združenem kraljestvu je delo izgubilo okrog 6000 oseb.
Together with national and regional authorities, the Commission has brought direct support from the Structural Funds: this action helped to ensure that within four months of the closure, 2000 of the redundant workers had found new jobs.
Komisija je skupaj z nacionalnimi in regionalnimi organi zagotovila neposredno podporo iz strukturnih skladov. S pomočjo tega ukrepa se je zagotovilo, da je v štirih mesecih od zaprtja 2 000presežnih delavcev dobilo novo zaposlitev.
Every year, the numbers retiring from the working population outstrip the number of young people joining the workforce.
Vsako leto število oseb, ki se upokojijo, preseže število mladih oseb, ki začne zaposlitveno pot.
Since 2002, up to 2 million people have migrated to the EU each year, helping to bridge this gap.
Od leta 2002 dalje vsako leto v EU migrira do 2 milijona ljudi, ki pomagajo premostiti to vrzel.
Without such immigration, projections suggest that the EU of 2060 could see its workforce drop to almost half current levels, making it impossible to sustain today’s tax and pension systems.
Projekcije kažejo, da bi se brez takih migracij število aktivnega prebivalstva v EU leta 2060 skoraj prepolovilo in ne bi bilo mogoče vzdrževati trenutnih davčnih in pokojninskih sistemov.
Immigration raises social and structural issues which need to be taken into account.
Priseljevanje povzroča socialne in strukturne težave, ki jih je treba upoštevati.
But the EU has spearheaded a debate to put the issue in its global context,
Vendar je EU začela razpravo, da bi to vprašanje umestila v globalni okvir in poudarila potrebo po tem, da se upoštevajo vplivi

delovne sile, ter da se sprejmejo praktični ukrepi, kot je modra karta za zakonite priseljence.
Taking Europe into space
Evropa osvaja vesolje
The Commission and the European Space Agency are working together to make satellite navigation of direct benefit to citizens: it can be used to give warning of natural disasters, to control borders, to monitor fisheries, to improve transport management, to help safe transport of hazardous substances and reduce accidents.
Komisija in Evropska vesoljska agencija sodelujeta, da bi satelitska navigacija prinesla državljanom neposredne koristi. Lahko se uporabi za opozarjanje pred naravnimi nesrečami, za nadzor mej, spremljanje ribolova, boljše upravljanje prometa, pomoč pri varnem prevozu nevarnih snovi in zmanjšanje števila nesreč.
It rests on cutting edge technology, creating thousands of jobs.

It brings together cutting-edge research teams from across the EU in a European research area, pooling resources, achieving critical mass, and sharing the results.
V evropskem raziskovalnem prostoru združuje skupine vrhunskih raziskovalcev iz vse EU, zbira vire, dosega kritično maso in omogoča dostop do rezultatov.
EU research projects have brought key breakthroughs in the last few years: such as finding new drugs to combat tuberculosis, or learning how to measure trends in the polar ice cap.
Raziskovalni projekti EU so v zadnjih nekaj letih prinesli ključne prodore, kot je iznajdba novega zdravila proti tuberkulozi ali ugotovitev, kako meriti spremembe debeline ledenikov v polarnem pasu.
The EU’s Galileo project will put 30 satellites into space and be able to offer position precision of less than a metre.
Cilj projekta EU Galileo je izstreliti trideset satelitov v vesolje in omogočiti določanje položaja z natančnostjo manj kot en meter.
It is the prime example of a common European industrial project, showing how European technological excellence can offer a global lead attracting the interest of many global partners.
To je odličen primer skupnega evropskega industrijskega projekta, ki dokazuje, kako lahko evropska tehnološka odličnost nudi svetovno vodstvo in privablja interes številnih globalnih partnerjev.
At the same time, the EU has been looking at new ways to bring expertise together and create poles of excellence. at is why the Commission set up the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a unique experiment in bringing together the worlds of education, research and business
Istočasno je EU iskala nove načine za združevanje strokovnega znanja in ustvarjanje centrov odličnosti. Zato je Komisija ustanovila Evropski inštitut za inovacije in tehnologijo, ki je edinstven poskus združevanja izobraževalnih in raziskovalnih
to spark new ways of stimulating creativity and harness it for commercial use. e first ‘knowledge and and innovation communities’ will soon be chosen, tapping expertise from different sectors to bring a new perspective to challenges like green technology.
ustanov ter podjetij, da bi ustvarili nove načine za spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti in izkoriščanje v komercialne namene. Prve „skupnosti znanja in inovacij“, ki bodo kmalu izbrane, bodo črpale strokovno znanje iz različnih sektorjev za določitev novih perspektiv za izzive, kot je zelena tehnologija.
Europe also needs an environment where entrepreneurs are encouraged to set up and grow businesses.
Evropa potrebuje tudi okolje, ki podjetnike spodbuja, da ustanavljajo in širijo svoja podjetja.
With the single market needing a common framework of rules, the EU has a responsibility to ensure that these rules entail the lightest possible burden on business.
Ker enotni trg potrebuje skupni okvir pravil, mora EU zagotoviti, da ta pravila pomenijo najmanjšo možno obremenitev za podjetja.
Part of the EU’s ‘better regulation’ programme aims at cutting the burdens on business, with savings of €30 billion now in the pipeline.
Cilj dela programa EU za „boljšo pravno ureditev“ je zmanjševanje obremenitev za podjetja, ki zdaj prinaša prihranek v višini 30 milijard EUR.
Most Member States have now signed up to follow the EU’s common goal of reducing burdens by 25 % by 2012.
Večina držav članic je zdaj podpisala sporazum za doseganje skupnega cilj EU, katerega namen je zmanjšanje obremenitev za 25% do leta 2012.
For example, removing the need for micro-enterprises to prepare annual accounts equates to savings for business of €7 billion a year.
Na primer, z odpravo pravila, da morajo mikropodjetja pripraviti letne zaključne račune, podjetja prihranijo 7 milijard EUR na leto.
is action has had a direct impact on jobs, with nearly 6.5 million new jobs created between 2005 and 2007.
Ta ukrep je imel neposreden vpliv na delovna mesta in v obdobju 2005–2007 je bilo ustvarjenih skoraj 6,5 milijona novih delovnih mest.
But the downturn has underlined how it is essential that the EU plays its part in providing the solidarity so fundamental to the European model of how society should work. at is why the Commission set up the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, to bring direct help to those facing new global competition and losing their jobs. e extra investment in human capital will pay dividends once recovery leads to a demand for the right skills in the right place.
Vendar je recesija zdaj pokazala, kako pomembno je, da ima EU svojo vlogo pri zagotavljanju solidarnosti, ki je bistvena za evropski model delovanja družbe.
e EU has also taken on a special responsibility to promote cohesion and the development of Europe’s poorer regions. e current generation of cohesion policy is projected to create 1.4 million jobs in 15 Member States.
Zato je Komisija vzpostavila Evropski sklad za prilagoditev globalizaciji, da bi pomagala neposredno tistim, ki se soočajo z novo svetovno konkurenco in izgubo delovnih mest.
A proactive approach to rural development has helped to address
Ta dodatna naložba v človeški kapital se bo obrestovala takrat, ko bo oživitev gospodarstva privedla do povpraševanja po ustreznih izkušnjah na pravem mestu.
the trend of rising unemployment and increased depopulation — with this decade seeing a net increase in rural populations. e Commission has also pioneered a new approach to maritime policy, where the particular needs of maritime regions and the maritime environment are recognised and addressed.
V tem desetletju se je število prebivalstva na podeželju znatno povečalo. Komisija je uporabila tudi nov pristop za pomorsko politiko, v okviru katere se priznavajo in obravnavajo posebne potrebe obmorskih regij in morskega okolja.
Sustainable energy
Trajnostna energija
Every European has a stake in Europe’s energy resources.
Vsakega Evropejca zadevajo evropski viri energije.
If energy supplies fail, Europe has seen how quickly households and businesses can suffer.
Videli smo, kako hitro so prizadeta gospodinjstva in gospodarstvo v Evropi, če se dobava energije prekine.
If they are too expensive, the vulnerable in society suffer and Europe’s competitiveness is hit.
Če so viri energije predragi, so prizadeti najranljivejši v družbi in zmanjša se konkurenčnost evropskega gospodarstva.
And with over half the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions coming from power stations, Europe can never address climate change without a sustainable energy policy.
In ker več kot polovico emisij toplogrednih plinov v EU proizvedejo elektrarne, Evropa ne more rešiti vprašanja podnebnih sprememb brez trajnostne energetske politike.
In 2005, the EU therefore decided to give a new priority to secure, sustainable and competitive energy. is means offering a vision capable of driving an EU energy policy into the next decades.
Zato se je leta 2005 EU odločila, da bo dala prednost varni trajnostni in konkurenčni energiji.
Since then, it has been putting the building blocks in place:
To pomeni, da ponuja vizijo, ki bo energetsko politiko EU vodila skozi naslednja desetletja.
• a true single market in energy, making full use of the potential of a Europe-wide market — competition needs to work properly so that consumers get the best deal and essential infrastructure is not held back by fragmented national markets;
• Resnični enotni trg za energijo, ki v celoti izkorišča možnosti vseevropskega trga.
• agreeing a target of a 20 % savings in energy efficiency has held out the prospect of cutting demand to ease pressure on prices and reduce dependence on imports; as well as a dedicated programme to cut energy waste in buildings, the Commission’s programme of new standards for products
Konkurenca mora pravilno delovati, da imajo potrošniki najugodnejše ponudbe in osnovne infrastrukture ne ovirajo razdrobljeni nacionalni trgi.
from light bulbs to tyres to televisions will make a huge difference to energy bills;
• Dogovorjeni 20-odstotni prihranek energije zaradi energetske učinkovitosti je ponudil možnost za zmanjšanje povpraševanja, da bi olajšali pritisk na cene in zmanjšali odvisnost od uvoza.
• direct measures to get the infrastructure in place and the international agreements fixed to have diverse and reliable imports, and to ensure that energy can be moved where needed inside the EU;
• Neposredni ukrepi za vzpostavitev infrastrukture in sklenitev mednarodnih dogovorov za raznolik in zanesljiv uvoz ter ukrepi za zagotovitev, da se energija lahko dobavi kjer koli znotraj EU.
• agreement to develop carbon capture and storage, to allow future generations to reconcile using Europe’s stocks of oil, gas and coal with the imperative of cutting greenhouse gases;
• Sporazum za razvoj zajemanja in shranjevanja ogljikovega dioksida, da se prihodnjim generacijam omogoči uskladitev porabe evropskih rezerv nafte in premoga z zmanjšanjem toplogrednih plinov.
• a binding 20 % target for renewable energy by 2020 to boost homegrown clean power and put Europe at the cutting edge of strategic technology — backed up by a major programme of research investment into new forms of clean energy.
• Zavezujoč cilj pridobivanja 20% energije iz obnovljivih virov do leta 2020, da se pospeši uporaba domače zelene energije in da Evropa postane vodilna na področju strateških tehnologij, ki jih podpira obsežen program naložb v raziskave novih oblik čiste energije.
ese measures add up to a comprehensive, long-term programme to bring reliable and affordable energy to European households and businesses.
Ti ukrepi dopolnjujejo obsežen dolgoročni program, da se lahko evropskim gospodinjstvom in gospodarstvu zagotovi zanesljiva energija, ki je vsem cenovno dostopna.
Tomorrow’s energy today
Energija prihodnosti danes
The Commission has supported energy security and promoted the use of renewable energies consistently.
Komisija je dosledno podpirala energetsko varnost in spodbujala uporabo obnovljivih virov energije.
Of particular importance was the targeted support to strategic infrastructure through the €5 billion package from the Community budget in the framework of the economic recovery plan.
Posebno pomembna je podpora za strateško infrastrukturo v vrednosti 5 milijonov EUR, ki se v okviru načrta oživitve gospodarstva dodeli iz proračuna Skupnosti.
Leading by example on climate change
Zgled na področju podnebnih sprememb
In 2008, on the basis of a Commission proposal, the European Union took a historic decision: to agree a target of a 20 % cut in greenhouse gases by 2020, and to put in place the steps needed to make this happen.
Leta 2008 je Evropska unija na podlagi predloga Komisije sprejela zgodovinsko odločitev. Dosegla je soglasje o zmanjšanju emisij toplogrednih plinov za 20% do leta 2020 in sprejela potrebne ukrepe za uresničitev tega cilja.
From 2013, the quantity of greenhouse gases industry can emit will be cut, year by year.
Od leta 2013 se bo količina toplogrednih plinov, ki jih industrija lahko izpusti, vsako leto postopoma zmanjševala.
