TRANSPARENT LOBBYING
PREGLEDNO LOBIRANJE
The Commission’s register of interest representatives contained 2 092 registrations in October 2009:
Oktobra 2009 je bilo v registru zastopnikov interesov, ki ga vodi Komisija, registriranih 2 092 organizacij: uradi posebnih svetovalcev in odvetniške pisarne, ki lobirajo pri evropskih institucijah: 121 lobistične službe podjetij in panožne skupine, ki lobirajo: 1 159 nevladne organizacije in možganski trusti: 590
The year 2009 also marked a milestone in terms of transparency in EU spending.
Leto 2009 je bilo tudi mejnik na področju preglednosti porabe sredstev EU.
For the first time, the names of the beneciaries of major EU financial instruments — the common agricultural policy and Structural Funds — were published on the Internet in 2009.
Prvič v zgodovini so bila na internetu objavljena imena upravičencev glavnih finančnih instrumentov EU – skupne kmetijske politike in strukturnih skladov.
For each beneciary, the websites state the full name, the municipality and the value of the funding received.
Za vsakega upravičenca so bili navedeni polno ime, občina in višina prejetih sredstev.
The Commission brought all the available information together in a single website.
Komisija je vse te razpoložljive informacije združila na eni spletni strani.
And for the second year, 2009 saw the publication of the beneciaries of the €18 billion from instruments that the Commission itself manages — in research, transport, energy, education and culture.
Leta 2009 so bili poleg tega že drugo leto zapored objavljeni upravičenci do sredstev v višini 18 milijard EUR v okviru instrumentov, ki jih upravlja sama Komisija, tj. na področju raziskav, prometa, energetike, izobraževanja in kulture.
The ‘Financial transparency system’ website (15)allows searches on several criteria.
Spletna stran sistema finančne preglednosti (15) omogoča iskanje po več merilih.
The underlying rationale was that taxpayers have the right to know how their money is used, and transparency through reinforcing public control should improve management and use of these funds.
Glavna utemeljitev pri tem je bila, da imajo davkoplačevalci pravico vedeti, kako se njihov denar porabi, ter da bi morala preglednost, ki je posledica krepitve javnega nadzora, izboljšati upravljanje in porabo teh sredstev.
The identities of the members of all the European Commission’s advisory expert groups were made public for the first time.
Prvič v zgodovini je bilo objavljeno, kdo so člani svetovalnih strokovnih skupin Evropske komisije.
A new degree of transparency was achieved over the financing of the Council’s activities, after cooperation with the Parliament over budgets.
Na podlagi sodelovanja s Parlamentom v zvezi s proračunom je bila na področju financiranja dejavnosti Sveta dosežena nova stopnja preglednosti.
In April, Parliament decided to postpone its vote on the discharge of the Council’s 2007 budget, pending further information.
Parlament se je namreč aprila odločil prestaviti glasovanje o razrešnici za proračun Sveta za leto 2007 do prejetja dodatnih informacij.
The discharge for Council was approved finally in early November by the EP’s competent committee, after the Parliament had received serious ‘concessions’ from the Council, including the provision of further information on its webpage about its use of its budget.
Pristojni odbor Evropskega parlamenta je razrešnico potrdil šele na začetku novembra, ko je Svet zagotovil Parlamentu pomembne „koncesije“, vključno z zagotovitvijo nadaljnjih informacij o porabi proračunskih sredstev na svojih spletnih straneh.
PROTECTING EU TAXPAYERS’ MONEY
ZAŠČITA DENARJA EVROPSKIH DAVKOPLAČEVALCEV
In its 10 years of operation, which it celebrated in June, the European Anti-Fraud Office, OLAF, opened more than 3 000 cases, leading to the recovery of more than €1 billion of European taxpayers’money. money.
Evropski urad za boj proti goljufijam (OLAF) je v desetih letih delovanja, ki jih je obeležil junija, začel preiskave več kot 3 000 primerov, v okviru katerih je bilo izterjanih več kot za 1 milijardo EUR sredstev evropskih davkoplačevalcev.
The Commission’s annual report on the application of the regulation on public access to documents showed a steady increase of access requests, and a large majority of requests (83 %) granted.
Letno poročilo Komisije o uporabi uredbe o dostopu javnosti do dokumentov je pokazalo, da število zahtevkov za dostop nenehno narašča in da je velika večina zahtevkov (83 %) odobrenih.
A new legal framework for European statistics was adopted in March, which will ease access to information.
Nov pravni okvir za evropske statistične podatke, ki je bil sprejet marca, bo olajšal dostop do informacij.
And during the year, following a Commission suggestion to revise the rules on its expert groups, work started on clarifications which will increase transparency.
Na podlagi predloga Komisije za pregled pravil za njene strokovne skupine so se med letom začela prizadevanja za poenostavitev pravil, ki bo povečala preglednost.
The Commission has gradually completed the publication of the names of all members of its expert groups.
Komisija je postopoma dokončevala objavo imen vseh članov svojih strokovnih skupin.
Landmark rulings by the Court of Justice
Ključne sodbe Sodišča
Since the establishment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in 1952, its mission has been to ensure that ‘the law is observed’‘in the interpretation and application’ of the treaties.
Naloga Sodišča Evropske unije je vse od njegove ustanovitve leta 1952 zagotavljati „upoštevanje prava“ „pri razlagi in uporabi“ Pogodb.
The Court of Justice of the European Union, which has its seat in Luxembourg, consists of three courts: the Court of Justice, the General Court (created in 1988 as the Court of First Instance, and renamed in 2009 under the terms of the LisbonTreaty) and the Civil Service Tribunal (created in 2004).
Sodišče Evropske unije ima sedež v Luxembourgu, sestavljajo pa ga tri sodišča: Sodišče, Splošno sodišče (ustanovljeno leta 1988 kot Sodišče prve stopnje in preimenovano leta 2009 v skladu z Lizbonsko pogodbo) ter Sodišče za uslužbence Evropske unije (ustanovljeno leta 2004).
Since their establishment, approximately 15 000 judgments have been delivered by the three courts.
Od svoje ustanovitve so vsa tri sodišča izrekla približno 15 000 sodb.
Case C-116/08 Meerts (ruling of 22 October 2009)
Sodba z dne 22. oktobra 2009 v zadevi Meerts (C-116/08)
Compensation for dismissal of a full-time worker dismissed when on part-time parental leave is to be calculated on the basis of his full-time salary.
Delavcem s polnim delovnim časom, katerih pogodba o zaposlitvi je bila odpovedana med starševskim dopustom v obliki krajšega delovnega časa, se odškodnina zaradi odpovedi pogodbe o zaposlitvi izračuna na podlagi plače za polni delovni čas.
A reduction of the worker’s rights in the event of parental leave could discourage workers from exercising such right and could encourage employers to preferably lay off workers who are on parental leave.
Zmanjšanje pravic delavcev zaradi starševskega dopusta bi lahko odvračalo delavce od uveljavljanja te pravice in spodbujalo delodajalce, da bi raje odpuščali delavce na starševskem dopustu.
Joined Cases C-350/06 and C-520/06 Schultz-Hoff and Others (ruling of 20 January 2009)
Sodba z dne 20. januarja 2009 v združenih zadevah Schultz-Hoff in drugi (C-350/06 in C-520/06)
Workers do not lose their right to paid annual leave which they have been unable to exercise because of sickness.
Delavci ne izgubijo pravice do plačanega letnega dopusta, če ga niso mogli izkoristiti zaradi bolezni.
They must be compensated for the annual leave not taken.
Dobiti morajo nadomestilo za neizrabljeni letni dopust.
Case C-88/08 Hütter (ruling of 18 June 2009)
Sodba z dne 18. junija 2009 v zadevi Hütter (C-88/08)
Articles 1, 2 and 6 of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which, in order not to treat general education less favourably than vocational education and to promote the integration of young apprentices into the labour market, excludes periods of employment completed before the age of 18 from being taken into account for the purpose of determining the incremental step at which contractual public servants of a Member State are graded.
Člene 1, 2 in 6 Direktive Sveta 2000/78/ES z dne 27. novembra 2000 o splošnih okvirih enakega obravnavanja pri zaposlovanju in delu je treba razlagati tako, da nasprotujejo nacionalni zakonodaji, ki zato, da se splošne šole ne obravnavajo manj ugodno kot poklicne, in zato, da se spodbuja vključevanje mladih vajencev na trg delovne sile, pri določanju stopnje, na katero so razvrščeni začasni uslužbenci v javnem sektorju države članice, ne upošteva obdobij zaposlitve pred 18. letom.
Case C-63/08 Pontin (ruling of 29 October 2009)
Sodba z dne 29. oktobra 2009 v zadevi Pontin (C-63/08)
Dismissed pregnant workers must enjoy effective judicial protection of their rights under Community law.
Delavkam, katerih pogodba o zaposlitvi je bila odpovedana med nosečnostjo, mora biti zagotovljeno učinkovito sodno varstvo pravic, ki jih imajo na podlagi prava Skupnosti.
Where the only remedy available under national legislation does not provide adequate time-limits within which a worker dismissed during pregnancy can bring proceedings, such legislation introduces less-favourable treatment linked to pregnancy and constitutes discrimination against female employees.
Kadar edino pravno sredstvo na razpolago po nacionalni zakonodaji ne določa ustreznih rokov, v katerih se lahko noseče delavke v primeru odpovedi pogodbe o zaposlitvi na to odločitev pritožijo, taka zakonodaja uvaja manj ugodno obravnavanje žensk, povezano z nosečnostjo, in pomeni diskriminacijo zaposlenih žensk.
Case C-489/07 Messner (ruling of 3 September 2009)
Sodba z dne 3. septembra 2009 v zadevi Messner (C-489/07)
A consumer who exercises his right of withdrawal from a distance contract must not be obliged, in general, to compensate the seller for the use of the goods acquired.
Potrošnik, ki izvršuje pravico do odstopa od pogodbe pri prodaji na daljavo, na splošno ne sme biti prisiljen prodajalcu plačati nadomestila za uporabo pridobljenega blaga.
In certain circumstances, a consumer can however be required to pay compensation for the use of the goods acquired where he has made use of those goods in a way incompatible with the principles of civil law, such as those of good faith or unjust enrichment.
V nekaterih okoliščinah pa se potrošniku lahko naloži plačilo nadomestila za uporabo tega blaga, in sicer če ga je uporabljal na način, ki ni združljiv z načeli civilnega prava, kot sta dobra vera in neupravičena obogatitev.
Joined Cases C-402/07 and C-432/07 Sturgeon and Others (ruling of 19 November 2009)
Sodba z dne 19. novembra 2009 v združenih zadevah Sturgeon in drugi (C-402/07 in C-432/07)
Passengers whose flights are delayed may be entitled to compensation.
Potniki so lahko v primeru zamude svojega leta upravičeni do odškodnine.
When they reach their final destination three hours or more after the scheduled arrival time, they (like passengers whose flights are cancelled) may seek flat-rate compensation from the airline, unless the delay is caused by extraordinary circumstances.
Če prispejo v končni namembni kraj tri ure ali več po predvideni uri prihoda, lahko namreč od letalske družbe (tako kot potniki, katerih let je odpovedan) zahtevajo pavšalno odškodnino, razen če so za zamudo krive izredne razmere.
Case C-222/07 UTECA (ruling of 5 March 2009)
Sodba z dne 5. marca 2009 v zadevi UTECA (C-222/07)
A Member State can require television operators to earmark part of their operating revenue for the funding of European cinematographic and TV films.
Država članica lahko od izdajateljev televizijskih programov zahteva, da del prihodkov iz poslovanja namenijo financiranju evropskih kinematografskih in televizijskih filmov.
National legislation may also provide for a specific rate of funding for works whose original language is one of the official languages of that Member State.
V nacionalni zakonodaji je lahko poleg tega določen tudi delež financiranja za dela, katerih jezik izvirnika je eden od uradnih jezikov te države članice.
Case C-115/08 ČEZ (ruling of 27 October 2009)
Sodba z dne 27. oktobra 2009 v zadevi ČEZ (C-115/08)
The Austrian courts, when hearing an action for cessation of nuisance between neighbouring landowners and theTemelín nuclear power plant, must take account of the operating authorisation granted by the Czech authorities.
Avstrijska sodišča morajo pri obravnavi tožbe za prenehanje povzročanja škodljivih vplivov med lastniki sosednjih zemljišč in jedrsko elektrarno Temelín upoštevati obratovalno dovoljenje, ki so ga izdali češki organi.
That authorisation is part of the Community system aimed at ensuring protection of the population against nuclear hazards.
To dovoljenje je namreč del sistema Skupnosti za zagotavljanje varstva prebivalstva pred jedrskimi tveganji.
As a result national legislation cannot treat differently industrial facilities on the basis of the operating authorisation having been granted by national authorities or authorities of Member States.
Zato nacionalna zakonodaja industrijskih obratov ne more obravnavati različno na podlagi tega, ali so njihovo obratovalno dovoljenje izdali nacionalni organi ali organi drugih držav članic.
Case C-552/07 Azelvandre (ruling of 17 February 2009)
Sodba z dne 17. februarja 2009 v zadevi Azelvandre (C-552/07)
The right of public access to information applies to releases of genetically modified organisms.
Pravica do dostopa javnosti do informacij se nanaša tudi na sproščanje gensko spremenjenih organizmov.
Member States cannot invoke a public order exception so as to prevent the disclosure of the location of release of genetically modified organisms.
Države članice se ne morejo sklicevati na izjemo zaradi varovanja javnega reda, da bi s tem preprečile razkritje mesta sproščanja gensko spremenjenih organizmov.
A national procedure leading to the refusal to grant refugee status or right of residence cannot be used by the Council to freeze funds unless the national procedure was launched in the framework of the fight against terrorism.
Svet se za zamrznitev sredstev ne more sklicevati na nacionalni postopek, na podlagi katerega je bilo zavrnjeno priznanje statusa begunca ali pravica do prebivanja, razen če gre za nacionalni postopek v okviru boja proti terorizmu.
Joined Cases T-37/07 and T-323/07 El Morabit v Council (ruling of 2 September 2009)
Sodba z dne 2. septembra 2009 v združenih zadevah El Morabit proti Svetu (T-37/07 in T-323/07)
The General Court upholds the Council’s decisions freezing the funds of Mohamed El Morabit.
Sodišče prve stopnje je potrdilo sklepa Sveta o zamrznitvi sredstev Mohameda El Morabita.
Those decisions do not breach the principle of the presumption of innocence and the Council is not obliged to wait for a final conviction before freezing funds.
Sklepa namreč nista kršila domneve nedolžnosti in Svetu za zamrznitev sredstev ni treba čakati na pravnomočno obsodbo.

The EU’s activity on behalf of its citizens extends far beyond the economic recovery plan and the climate and energy strategy reported on in previous chapters, and its influence is felt in many areas beyond external relations and institutional affairs.
Evropska unija je poleg načrta za oživitev gospodarstva ter strategije o podnebnih spremembah in energetiki, o katerih je bilo govora v prejšnjih poglavjih, za svoje državljane naredila še mnogo več. Dejavna je v zunanjih odnosih in institucionalnih zadevah, njen vpliv pa sega še na veliko drugih področij.
The EU has continued developing the internal market and the freedoms it embodies.
Nadaljevala je z razvojem notranjega trga in svoboščin, ki jih pooseblja.
It has made it easier and safer for people and goods to move around Europe.
Gibanje ljudi in blaga po Evropi je postalo lažje in varnejše.
It has acted as the consumer watchdog, looking after citizens’ interests on banking, on product safety and on their rights as customers.
Nadzorovala je potrošništvo ter zaščitila interese državljanov na področju bančništva, varnosti izdelkov in pravic potrošnikov.
It has worked with Member States to promote citizens’ health.
Z državami članicami je sodelovala pri spodbujanju zdravja državljanov.
It has promoted greater efficiency in the agricultural sector, and ensured a comprehensive policy approach towards its seas and oceans.
Prizadevala si je za učinkovitejše ukrepe v kmetijskem sektorju ter zagotovila obsežen pristop politike k obravnavi evropskih morij in oceanov.
Its regulations and programmes have brought the opportunities of advanced technologies to citizens and boosted Europe’s competitiveness.
Z uredbami in programi je državljanom omogočila uporabo naprednih tehnologij ter okrepila konkurenčnost Evrope.
At the same time, the EU has brought in new programmes and taken concrete steps to combat crime and terrorism, to bring greater certainty into crossborder legal cases and to manage migration and asylum with respect for human rights.
Hkrati je EU uvedla nove programe ter sprejela konkretne ukrepe na področju boja proti kriminalu in terorizmu, da bi izboljšala preglednost čezmejnih sodnih postopkov ter pri upravljanju zadev v zvezi z migracijami in azilom upoštevala človekove pravice.
The interests of society have been catered for in areas ranging from maternity leave to workers’ rights.
Poskrbljeno je bilo za interese ljudi na različnih področjih, od materinskega dopusta do delavskih pravic.
Although the EU’s activities and policies are diverse, there is a conscious and increasing degree of coherence among them.
Dejavnosti in politike EU so sicer raznovrstne, vendar tudi namerno vedno bolj usklajene.
Through many of these actions in individual areas, the EU has contributed to broader policy objectives — including economic recovery, more efficient energy use, lower emissions, stronger links with the world beyond its borders, more efficient implementation of its own internal policies, and, above all, a Europe that takes account of its citizens’ needs.
EU je z mnogimi ukrepi na posameznih področjih prispevala k širšim ciljem politike, vključno z gospodarskim okrevanjem, učinkovitejšo rabo energije, zmanjšanjem emisij, močnejšim mednarodnim povezovanjem, učinkovitejšim izvajanjem lastnih notranjih politik ter predvsem Evropo, ki upošteva potrebe svojih državljanov.
Free movement is central to the success of the European Union — the freedoms of the single market relate to people, goods, capital and services.
Prosti pretok je ključnega pomena za uspešno Evropsko unijo. Svoboščine, ki urejajo enotni trg, veljajo za ljudi, blago, kapital in storitve.
During 2009 the EU continued to improve the opportunities for citizens and businesses in these areas.
EU je v letu 2009 nadaljevala z razvijanjem možnosti za državljane in podjetja na naslednjih področjih.

The Court of Justice ruled in November (4) that air passengers suffering a long delay in their flight are caused as much inconvenience as those passengers whose flight is cancelled — a judgment in line with the European Commission’s interpretation of the air passenger rights regulation.
Ta razsodba je v skladu s tem, kako Evropska komisija razlaga uredbo o pravicah letalskih potnikov.
The EU has improved transport options for its citizens to boost sustainability and mobility.
EU je izboljšala načine prevoza svojih državljanov za spodbujanje trajnosti in mobilnosti.
