1 jobs — A new start for the Lisbon strategy’ (
Poleg tega, da je izrazil svoje zadovoljstvo nad pomembnim prispevkom Evropskega parlamenta, Odbora regij, Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora ter socialnih partnerjev, je Evropski svet potrdil bistvo smernic, ki jih je priporočila Komisija v sporočilu z dne 2. februarja z naslovom „Skupna prizadevanja za gospodarsko rast in nova delovna mesta – Nov začetek za Lizbonsko strategijo“ (1).
progress but also shortcomings and delays, the relaunch focuses on two priorities requiring the urgent action already called for in the Kok report: stronger and more sustainable growth, and more and better jobs.
Dejansko se na podlagi mešanih rezultatov, ki kažejo na nesporen napredek, vendar tudi na pomanjkljivosti in očitne zamude, na novo osredotočena strategija usmerja na dve prednostni nalogi, ki zahtevata nujno ukrepanje, poudarjeno že v Kokovem poročilu: doseči močnejšo in bolj trajnostno rast; ustvariti več in boljša delovna mesta.
To achieve these priorities, developments will be required on three main fronts: making knowledge and innovation the engines of sustainable European growth; making Europe a more attractive area in which to invest and work; and reinforcing the European social model based on the quest for full employment and greater social cohesion.
Za doseganje teh prednostnih ciljev zahteva ponovni zagon strategije razvoj zlasti v treh smereh: razviti znanje in inovacije v gonilni sili trajnostne evropske rasti; narediti Evropo privlačnejšo za naložbe in delo; okrepiti evropski socialni model, ki temelji na prizadevanju za polno zaposlenost in na večji socialni koheziji.
Furthermore, since the success of the Lisbon strategy requires increased ‘ownership’ of the process by all stakeholders, there is now more need to develop a partnership underpinned by a Community programme and national programmes involving rm commitments to take the process forward.
Ker je poleg tega za uspeh lizbonske strategije potrebno, da si vse zadevne strani proces bolj „lastijo“, se ta proces nadalje opira na potrebo po partnerstvu, ki ga podpirajo program Skupnosti in nacionalni programi, ki vsebujejo trdne zaveze.
To this end, a simplified governance arrangement has been introduced to facilitate the identification of priorities, improve their implementation on the ground by increasing the involvement of the Member States, and streamline the monitoring procedure so as to give a clearer picture of how the strategy is being implemented at national level.
V tem duhu je vzpostavljen poenostavljen mehanizem „upravljanja“, da bi se olajšala opredelitev prednostnih nalog, izboljšalo njihovo izvajanje v praksi z večjo vključenostjo držav članic in racionaliziral postopek spremljanja za boljše razumevanje uporabe strategije na nacionalni ravni.

Implementation
Izvajanje strategije
After the formulation of the approach came the rst implementing measures.
Tako opredeljenemu pristopu so sledili prvi izvedbeni ukrepi:
On 12 April the Commission presented, for the rst time in a single text, integrated guidelines for 2005–08 (1), including its recommendations on the broad economic policy guidelines and the employment guidelines designed to implement the Lisbon strategy.
Komisija je 12. aprila (1) prvič v enotnem besedilu predložila integrirane smernice, ki zajemajo obdobje 2005–2008 ter vključujejo njena priporočila o širših smernicah ekonomskih politik in smernice za zaposlovanje, s katerimi naj bi se izvajala lizbonska strategija.
On 12 July, after consulting the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee and with the approval of the European Council, the Council adopted a decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (2) and a recommendation on the broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and the Community (2005–08), which
Svet je 12. julija po prejetju mnenj Evropskega parlamenta in Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora ter po odobritvi Evropskega sveta uradno sprejel Sklep o smernicah za politike zaposlovanja držav članic (2) ter Priporočilo o širših smernicah ekonomskih politik držav članic in skupnosti (2005–2008) (3), ki skupaj sestavljata integrirane smernice;
On 20 July the Commission presented a Community Lisbon programme (4) covering all Community actions for growth and employment.
Komisija je 20. julija (4) predložila Lizbonski program Skupnosti, ki zajema vse ukrepe na ravni Skupnosti za rast in zaposlovanje.
This programme, intended as an accompaniment to the national programmes, focuses on a set of key actions with high European added value, including support for knowledge and innovation in Europe, reform of state aid policy, completion of the internal market for services, support for e orts to deal with the social consequences of economic restructuring, improving and simplifying the regulatory framework in which businesses operate, completion of an ambitious agreement in the Doha Round of multilateral trade talks, removal of obstacles to physical labour and academic mobility, and the development of a common approach to economic migration.
Ta program je bil zasnovan kot dopolnilo k nacionalnim programom in se tako osredotoča na niz ključnih ukrepov z visoko evropsko dodano vrednostjo, zlasti na: podporo znanju in inovacijam v Evropi; reformo politike državnih pomoči; dokončno oblikovanje notranjega trga storitev; podporo prizadevanjem za obvladovanje socialnih posledic gospodarskega prestrukturiranja; izboljšanje in poenostavitev ureditvenega okvira, v katerem deluje gospodarstvo; sklenitev ambicioznega sporazuma v okviru kroga večstranskih trgovinskih pogajanj v Dohi; odstranitev ovir za fizično, delovno in akademsko mobilnost; razvoj skupnega pristopa k ekonomski migraciji;
At the end of the year, the Member States presented their national reform programmes to the Commission, which carried out an assessment of them ahead of the spring 2006 European Council.
Ob koncu leta so države članice predložile svoje nacionalne programe reform Komisiji, ki jih je analizirala za spomladansko zasedanje Evropskega sveta leta 2006.
Macroeconomic framework
Makroekonomski okvir
The arrangements for implementing the Lisbon strategy set out above, particularly the establishment of the integrated guidelines combining the broad economic and employment policy guidelines, have to some extent a macroeconomic dimension, as do other approaches linked to the objective of stable growth.
Zgoraj omenjeni mehanizem za izvajanje lizbonske strategije ter zlasti določitev integriranih smernic, ki vključujejo širše smernice ekonomskih politik in smernice za politike zaposlovanja, spada na nek način na makroekonomsko raven. Ta se uresničuje tudi z drugimi pristopi, povezanimi s ciljem stabilne rasti.
The Stability and Growth Pact is based on a political agreement reached at the Amsterdam European Council in June 1997 and on two related implementing regulations adopted by the Council in July 1997 (1): Regulation (EC) No 1466/97 on the surveillance of the Member States’ budgetary positions and coordination of their economic policies (preventive aspect), and Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 on implementation of the excessive de cit procedure once the government de cit of a Member State exceeds the reference value of 3 % of gross domestic product (GDP) (corrective aspect).
Pakt stabilnosti in rasti temelji na političnem sporazumu, doseženem na zasedanju Evropskega sveta v Amsterdamu junija 1997, ter na dveh s tem povezanih uredbah, ki ju je Svet sprejel julija 1997 (1) za izvajanje Pakta: Uredba (ES) št. 1466/97, ki je namenjena nadzoru nad proračunskim stanjem držav članic in usklajevanju njihovih gospodarskih politik (preventivni vidik); Uredba (ES) št. 1467/97, ki se nanaša na izvajanje postopka v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem, ko proračunski primanjkljaj države članice preseže referenčni prag treh odstotkov bruto domačega proizvoda (korektivni vidik).
The pact is intended to ensure sound management of public nances in the Union in order to prevent a lax budgetary policy in one Member State from penalising the other Member States via interest rates and undermining confidence in economic stability.
Namen Pakta je zagotoviti dobro poslovodenje javnih financ v Uniji v izogib temu, da bi bile zaradi manj stroge proračunske politike ene države članice z obrestnimi merami kaznovane druge države, in zaupanje v gospodarsko stabilnost.
It also seeks to encourage sustained and durable convergence of the economies of the Member States belonging to the euro area.
Njegov namen je tudi spodbujati neprekinjeno in trajnostno konvergenco gospodarstev držav članic euroobmočja.
The Commission is responsible for monitoring implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Komisija je odgovorna za nadzor nad izvajanjem Pakta stabilnosti in rasti.
If it seems likely that a Member State will not meet its obligations with respect to its economic policy, the Council may, on a recommendation from the Commission, issue a specific recommendation to the Member State concerned (early warning).
Če obstaja tveganje, da neka država članica ne bo izpolnila obveznosti glede svoje ekonomske politike, lahko Svet na priporočilo Komisije na zadevno državo naslovi posebno priporočilo (zgodnje opozarjanje).
If the Member State does not comply and the de cit exceeds 3 % of GDP, an excessive de cit procedure is triggered.
Če ga zadevna država ne upošteva in primanjkljaj preseže 3 % bruto domačega proizvoda (BDP), se sproži postopek v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem.
In view of the di culties encountered by some Member States in achieving their budgetary targets with respect to the commitments made in their updated stability programmes, a debate was launched in 2002 on the pact and on the commitments for achieving budgets that are in balance or in surplus.
Zaradi težav nekaterih držav članic pri doseganju njihovih proračunskih ciljev glede na obveznosti, ki so jih prevzele v okviru dopolnitev svojih programov stabilnosti, se je leta 2002 začela razprava o Paktu in o obveznostih za doseganje proračunov v ravnovesju ali v presežku.
The di erences of opinion between the Commission and the Council concerning the position of France and Germany gave rise to a Court of Justice ruling on 13 July 2004 which annulled the Council’s conclusions on the holding in abeyance of the excessive de cit procedure (2).
Nasprotovanja Komisije in Sveta glede položaja Nemčije in Francije so privedla do sodbe Sodišča, ki je 13. julija 2004 razveljavilo sklepe Sveta o mirovanju postopka v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem (2).
In September 2004, in the wake of this debate, the Commission proposed a number of improvements aimed at clarifying the Stability and Growth Pact.
Na podlagi rezultatov te razprave je Komisija septembra 2004 predlagala niz izboljšav za večjo jasnost Pakta stabilnosti in rasti.
On 20 March, drawing on the points made by the Commission (see above), the Council presented a set of proposals aimed at reforming the pact but keeping legislative changes to a minimum.
Svet se je zgledoval po razmišljanjih Komisije v letu 2004 za pojasnitev izvajanja Pakta stabilnosti in rasti (glej zgoraj) ter je 20. marca 2005 predložil sklop predlogov za reformo Pakta, pri čemer si je prizadeval za čim manj zakonodajnih sprememb.
These proposals, which were ratified by the spring European Council, are intended to ensure better governance, improve the coordination and monitoring of the Member States’ economic policies and avoid excessive de cits, as required by the EC Treaty.
Namen teh predlogov, ki jih je potrdil Evropski svet na spomladanskem zasedanju, je zagotoviti boljše upravljanje, izboljšati usklajevanje in nadzor nad ekonomskimi politikami držav članic ter preprečiti čezmerne primanjkljaje, v skladu z zahtevami Pogodbe ES na tem področju.
The main priorities of the reform are as follows: to enhance the economic rationale of the budgetary rules so as to improve their credibility and ownership; to improve ownership by national policy-makers; to take better account
Osrednja področja reforme so: okrepitev ekonomske utemeljitve proračunskih pravil za izboljšanje njihove verodostojnosti in udeleženosti pri njih; dodelitev večje odgovornosti nacionalnim oblikovalcem politik; učinkovitejše upoštevanje obdobij, ko kaže rast gospodarstva izrazito pozitivno ali negativno težnjo;

All these budgetary adjustments are also designed to underpin the e orts to boost growth and employment as part of the relaunched Lisbon strategy.
Vse te proračunske spremembe so bile poleg tega zasnovane tudi zato, da bi prispevale k podpori prizadevanj za rast in zaposlovanje, povezanih s ponovnim zagonom lizbonske strategije.
The rst regulation amends the preventive arm of the pact, in particular by providing for the possibility of di erentiating the medium-term budgetary objectives in order to take into account the diversity of the economic and budgetary positions of the di erent Member States and their sustainability. It also allows Member States that have implemented major structural reforms with a verifiable positive impact on the long-term sustainability of public nances to deviate temporarily from the medium-term budgetary objective, subject to certain conditions.
Da bi se ta reforma lahko uresničila, je Svet spremenil predpise iz leta 1997 z dvema novima uredbama, sprejetima 27. junija (1): s prvo uredbo so uvedene spremembe k preventivnemu vidiku Pakta stabilnosti in rasti s tem, da je predvidena zlasti možnost razlikovanja srednjeročnih proračunskih ciljev, da bi se upoštevala različna gospodarska in proračunska stanja ter njihova vzdržnost; ta uredba omogoča tudi, da se državam članicam, ki izvajajo večje strukturne reforme, katerih pozitivni učinek na dolgoročno vzdržnost javnih financ je preverljiv, pod določenimi pogoji odobri začasen odklon od srednjeročnega proračunskega cilja.
The second regulation amends the corrective arm of the pact in order to re ect more accurately the realities of an enlarged European Union of 25 Member States.
z drugo uredbo pa se spremeni korektivni vidik Pakta, in sicer z namenom, da se omogoči boljše upoštevanje dejanskega stanja v razširjeni Uniji s 25 državami članicami.
It clarifies certain concepts, including that of ‘severe economic downturn’, and also provides that the decisions on the existence of an excessive de cit and the deadlines for correcting any such de cit may, subject to certain conditions, take account of the particular situation in each Member State and of the cyclical situation.
V njej je zato pojasnjeno določeno število pojmov, na primer pojem „resnega gospodarskega upada“; poleg tega je v njej določeno, da se bodo pri odločitvah o obstoju čezmernega primanjkljaja in rokih za njihovo zmanjšanje pod določenimi pogoji lahko upoštevali stanje v vsaki državi članici in konjunkturne razmere.
Alongside the reform of the pact itself, the Community institutions conducted their annual review of the situation in each Member State.
Razen teh reform samega Pakta so institucije Skupnosti opravile svoje letno preverjanje stanja vsake države članice.
On the basis of the Commission recommendations, the Council successively adopted its opinions on the updated stability and convergence programmes of the EU-25: on a case-by-case basis, it found that they complied fully, broadly or partially with the requirements of the code of conduct on the content and format of the programmes approved in 2001.
Tako je na podlagi priporočil Komisije Svet zaporedoma sprejel svoja mnenja o dopolnitvah programov stabilnosti in konvergenčnih programov vseh petindvajsetih držav članic: od primera do primera je ocenil, ali ti programi v celoti, v veliki meri ali delno ustrezajo zahtevami z v letu 2001 odobrenega kodeksa ravnanja o vsebini in obliki teh večletnih programov.
With regard to excessive de cits, the Council endorsed the opinion expressed by the Commission at the end of 2004 that no additional action was necessary at this stage regarding Germany and France, which were taking the necessary measures to remedy the situation.
Kar zadeva čezmerni primanjkljaj, se je Svet pridružil mnenju, ki ga je ob koncu leta 2004 izrazila Komisija, po katerem v tej fazi niso potrebni dodatni ukrepi glede Nemčije in Francije, ki sta se lotili potrebnih popravkov.
The Council also noted the progress made by Greece thanks to the measures it had adopted to remedy its excessive de cit.
Poleg tega je opazen napredek Grčije po zaslugi ukrepov, ki jih je sprejela za izboljšanje svojega stanja čezmernega primanjkljaja.
And it welcomed the e orts made by the Dutch authorities to reduce their de cit but judged the measures so far adopted in Hungary still insufficient.
Svet je zadovoljen tudi zaradi uspešnih prizadevanj Nizozemske na tem področju. Po drugi strani pa je bilo ocenjeno, da ukrepi, ki jih je do zdaj sprejela Madžarska, še vedno ne zadoščajo.
Similarly, the Council pointed out that there was a risk of a persistent excessive de cit in Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Prav tako je bilo poudarjeno dejstvo, da še naprej obstaja tveganje čezmernega primanjkljaja, kar zadeva Italijo, Portugalsko in Združeno kraljestvo.
On 12 December the Council amended (2) the rules governing the quality of statistical
Svet je poleg tega 12. decembra (2) spremenil predpise o kakovosti statističnih podatkov v okviru postopka v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem. V tej novi

BLAGINJA uredbi so potrjene zlasti najboljše obstoječe prakse na področju zbiranja podatkov in poročanja o njih.
On 11 October the Council approved a new code of conduct including a certain number of specifications for consistent implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact and the guidelines for stability and convergence programmes.
Svet je 11. oktobra odobril nov kodeksa ravnanja, ki vključuje določeno število natančnih opisov, katerih namen je zagotoviti usklajeno izvajanje Pakta stabilnosti in rasti, ter smernice za programe stabilnosti in konvergenčne programe.
On 1 June the Commission presented its sixth report on public nances in EMU (1).
Komisija pa je 1. junija predložila šesto poročilo o javnih financah v ekonomski in monetarni uniji (1): v njem najprej pregleda proračunske rezultate držav članic v letu
After reviewing the budgetary performance of the Member States in 2004, the report assesses the short- and medium-term outlook and analyses certain issues of relevance for the EU-wide scal policy debate.
2004, potem pa oceni kratkoročne in srednjeročne možnosti ter analizirani z vprašanj, povezanih z razpravo o proračunski politiki na ravni Evropske unije.
Although the average budget de cit showed a marginal improvement after deteriorating for three consecutive years, the Commission considers that scal consolidation must remain a priority in order to reduce public debt, to address the problem of the ageing population, and to refocus public resources on measures that will boost growth.
Čeprav opaža rahlo izboljšanje povprečnega proračunskega primanjkljaja po treh letih poslabšanja, meni, da mora konsolidacija proračuna ostati prednostna naloga za zmanjšanje javnega dolga, spopad s problemom staranja prebivalstva in preusmeritev javnih sredstev v ukrepe za ustvarjanje rasti.
Economic and monetary union (EMU)
Ekonomska in monetarna unija (EMU)
In 2005 the main priority for EMU was the practical preparations for the future enlargement of the euro area.
Leta 2005 je bila prevladujoča aktualna tema glede EMU nadaljevanje praktičnih priprav za prihodnjo širitev euroobmočja.
On 4 November, one year after its rst report on this matter, the Commission presented a new report (2) which analysed the following in particular: the timetables envisaged by the Member States concerned; the preparedness of the Member States, in particular the plans and scenarios for the changeover to the euro; the preparedness at Community level as regards the legal and technical aspects as well as information and communication policy; and the state of public opinion regarding the euro in the new Member States, which is still considered to be unsatisfactory.
Leto po prvem poročilu o tem je Komisija 4. novembra predložila novo poročilo (2), v katerem so analizirani zlasti naslednji elementi: časovni okviri, ki jih načrtujejo zadevne države članice; stanje priprav na nacionalni ravni, zlasti načrti in scenariji za prehod na euro; stanje priprav na ravni Skupnosti spravnega in tehničnega vidika ter vidika politike sporočanja in obveščanja; stanje javnega mnenja o euru v novih državah članicah, ki je še vedno ocenjeno kot nezadovoljivo.
On 7 June the Council approved common guidelines for the future national sides of euro coins.
Svet je 7. junija odobril splošne smernice za prihodnje nacionalne strani euro kovancev.
It also decided that the necessary technical preparations for changing the common side of these coins should be completed so as to ensure that it gives a general representation of Europe and that all Member States will thus be represented.
Prav tako je spodbudil nadaljevanje tehničnih priprav, potrebnih za spremembo skupne strani teh kovancev za zagotovitev, da bo v prihodnje ta stran vsebovala splošen prikaz Evrope in bodo tako na njej prikazane vse države članice Evropske unije.
The European Parliament, in a resolution of 5 July on the implementation of an information and communication strategy on the euro and EMU, noted that public perception of the euro in the 12 euro countries still tended to be negative despite the progress made as a result of its introduction.
Evropski parlament pa je v resoluciji z dne 5. julija o izvajanju informacijske in komunikacijske strategije za euro ter EMU poudaril, da je euro še naprej sorazmerno nepriljubljen v vseh dvanajstih državah euroobmočja, kljub napredku, ki ga je omogočila njegova uvedba.
It encouraged the Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB) to launch a campaign to convince people of the benefits of the single currency in terms of price stability and ease of transactions.
Komisijo in Evropsko centralno banko (ECB) je spodbudil, da pripravita akcijo, s katero bi prepričali javnost o prednostih, ki jih prinaša enotna valuta v smislu stabilnosti cen in enostavnosti transakcij.
The activities of the European Central Bank are discussed under ‘Life of the institutions’ in Chapter I of this Report.
Dejavnosti ECB so obravnavane v oddelku „Življenje institucij“ v poglavju 1 tega poročila.
Taxation, like the customs union, is an important factor in helping the European Union achieve the Lisbon objectives.
Obdavčenje in carinska unija sta pomembni področji, ki lahko Evropski uniji pomagata doseči lizbonske cilje.
This was pointed out by the Commission on 27 October when it approved a communication aimed at boosting European competitiveness on these two fronts (1).
To je Komisija tudi poudarila, ko je 27. oktobra (1) sprejela sporočilo v podporo evropski konkurenčnosti na podlagi teh dveh področij.
The communication presents the key taxation and customs measures that would contribute to the structural adjustment needed in the European economies in order to full the Lisbon strategy.
V tem sporočilu so opisani glavni davčni in carinski ukrepi, ki jih je sprejela Komisija, da bi prispevala k pospešitvi procesa strukturnega prilagajanja, ki ga evropska gospodarstva potrebujejo za izvajanje lizbonske strategije.
These initiatives are aimed at reducing compliance costs and red tape, helping the Member States to maintain stable revenue streams, generating more competition in the markets, boosting trade, and encouraging research and development.
Cilj teh pobud je: zmanjševanje stroškov usklajevanja in upravnih formalnosti; pomoč državam članicam pri zagotavljanju stalnega toka prihodkov; spodbujanje večje konkurence na trgih; pospeševanje trgovinske menjave ter spodbujanje raziskovalnih in razvojnih dejavnosti.
