- C novih držav članic je vstopila v proces dohitevanja, toda hitrost slednjega ne napoveduje skorajšnje konvergence v okviru EU.
Also, if present trends continue, the innovation gap between Europe and the USA will not narrow.
Če se bodo sedanje tendence nadaljevale, se razkorak med Evropo in ZDA na področju inovacij ne bo zmanjšal.
The EIS provides an overview of innovation performances in Europe, with reference to five criteria: innovation drivers, knowledge creation, innova- tion and entrepreneurship, innovative applications, and intellectual property.
Evropska lestvica inovacij ponuja pregled dosežkov na področju inovacij v Evropi v petih kategorijah: spodbujevalci inovacij, ustvarjanje znanj, pod- jetniški in inovacijski duh, uporaba inovacij in intelektualna lastnina.
Four groups of countries can be distinguished:
Države so razvrščene v štiri skupine:
the leading countries: Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany; the average performers: France, Luxembourg, Ireland, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Norway, Italy and Iceland;
najuspešnejše: Švica, Finska, Švedska, Danska in Nemčija; države na srednji ravni: Francija, Luksemburg, Irska, Združeno kraljestvo, Nizozemska, Belgija, Avstrija, Norveška, Italija in Islandija; države „v dohitevanju”: Slovenija, Madžarska, Portugalska, Češka, Litva, Latvija, Grčija, Ciper in Malta; države, ki nazadujejo: Estonija, Španija, Bolgarija, Poljska, Slovaška, Romunija in Turčija.
For the first time, the EIS has developed an input/output method with which to assess how good countries are at transforming innovation assets into concrete results.
Evropska lestvica inovacij je prvič uporabila izpopolnjeno metodo input/output, ki omogoča ocenjevanje načina, na katerega države izkoriščajo svoje inovacijske dejavnike.
A specific sectoral approach is also included.
Poleg tega razvija tudi specifičen pristop za posamezne sektorje.
This scoreboard therefore provides a valuable tool in realising the ‘integrated innovation/research’ action plan that was launched by the Commission in October 2005 and that places particular emphasis on the role of the Structural Funds in driving innovation.
Lestvica tako predstavlja orodje za uresničevanje „Integriranega akcijskega plana inovacije/raziskave“, ki ga je oktobra 2005 lansirala Komisija, še zlasti pa poudarja vlogo strukturnih skladov kot spodbujevalcev inovacij.

A new strategy for the urban environment
Nova strategija za urbano okolje
On 11 January, the Commission presented the proposal for a new thematic strategy (1
11. januarja je Komisija predstavila predlog nove tematske strategije (1
) to help Member States and regional and local authorities to improve the environmental performances of the cities.
), ki naj bi pomagala državam članicam in regionalnim ter lokalnim oblastem pri izboljšanju okoljske uspešnosti mest.
The strategy was first called for in the sixth environment action programme and aims to facilitate the local implementation of Community policy and legislation in this field on the basis of an exchange of experiences and best practice.
Strategija, ki jo predvideva 6. akcijski program za okolje, mora olajšati lokalno izvajanje politik in zakonodaje Skupnosti na tem področju, in sicer s pomočjo izmenjave izkušenj in dobrih praks.
Urban areas, which are home to four out of five Europeans, are facing a variety of problems that pose a threat to the environment as well as to human health.
Urbana območja, kjer živijo štiri petine Evropejcev, se soočajo z različnimi škodljivimi vplivi, ki so nevarni tako za okolje kot za človekovo zdravje.
The local authorities have a key role to play in overcoming them while the many solutions already tried and tested are failing to receive sufficient attention.
Ključno vlogo v boju proti tem nevarnostim imajo lokalne oblasti. Številne že preizkušene rešitve niso dovolj upoštevane.
The proposed strategy includes the following principal measures.
Če povzamemo, predlagana strategija pokriva naslednje poglavitne ukrepe:
Support for an EU-wide exchange of best practice.
Promocija izmenjave najboljših praks na ravni EU.
The new cohesion policy envisages setting up a new programme for the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of urban development.
Oblikovanje novega programa izmenjave izkušenj in znanj na področju urbanega razvoja poteka v okviru nove kohezijske politike.
The Commission will work in close cooperation with the national and local authorities on the basis of the pilot network of national contact points on urban issues (European urban knowledge network (EUKN) co-financed by the Commission through the Urbact programme).
Komisija bo tesno sodelovala z nacionalnimi in lokalnimi oblastmi na osnovi pilotskega omrežja nacionalnih kontaktnih točk za urbana vprašanja (Evropsko omrežje centrov za urbano znanje (EUKN), ki ga sofinancira Komisija v okviru programa URBACT).
The publication of guidelines on an integrated management of the urban environment and implementation of sustainable urban transport plans.
Objava smernic za integrirano upravljanje urbanega okolja in za oblikovanje planov trajnostnega urbanega prometa.

Financial perspectives: towards an interinstitutional agreement
Finančne perspektive: na poti do sporazuma
At an initial European interinstitutional consultation on budgetary issues, on 23 January, the Parliament, the Council and the Commission drew up a provisional timetable for their subsequent talks, with a view to final adoption of the 2007–13 financial perspectives, which could come in April or May 2006.
V prvem medinstitucionalnem dialogu glede proračunskih vprašanj 23. januarja so Parlament, Svet in Komisija določili začasni urnik nadaljnjih razprav s ciljem dokončnega sprejetja finančne perspektive za obdobje 2007–2013, do katerega bi lahko prišlo aprila oziroma maja 2006.
Parliament’s key demands: more flexible budgetary expenditure and increased European Parliament involvement in revising the budget that is to be the subject of a Commission White Paper in 2008–09.
menta: večjo fleksibilnost proračunskih izdatkov in večjo vključenost Parlamenta v postopek revizije proračuna, ki bo predmet bele knjige Komisije v letih 2008 in 2009.
The Commission also proposes a new European Globalisation Adjustment Fund.
Komisija je predlagala tudi nov Sklad za prilagajanje globalizaciji. Za več informacij:
In rejecting, on 21 January, the European Council’s position on the financial perspectives of 17 December 2005, the European Parliament confirmed its desire to negotiate with the other EU institutions with a view to reaching an improved agreement.
Evropski parlament, ki je 21. januarja zavrnil stališča Evropskega sveta glede finančne perspektive z dne 17. decembra 2005, je potrdil svojo pripravljenost na pogajanja z drugimi institucijami EU s ciljem sprejeti boljši sporazum.
Parliament’s view is that the Council’s position does not guarantee a budget that will permit increased prosperity, competitiveness, solidarity and cohesion in the enlarged Union.
Parlament je mnenja, da stališče Sveta ne zagotavlja proračuna, ki bo omogočil krepitev blaginje, konkurenčnosti, solidarnosti in kohezije v razširjeni Uniji.

The cohesion partners make the 2007 rendezvous: two reports take stock of the situation
Kohezijski partnerji pred začetkom programov leta 2007:pregled tem v dveh poročilih
Following an intense interinstitutional dialogue, the cohesion policy actors will dispose of the necessary legislative and financial framework with which to prepare the start-up of programmes for the 2007–13 period.
Ob koncu živahnega medinstitucionalnega dialoga bo akterjem kohezijske politike na voljo zakonski in finančni okvir, potreben za pripravo zagona programov za obdobje 2007–2013.
Driving their efforts will be the partnership for growth and jobs set up to relaunch the Lisbon strategy.
Partnerstvo za rast in zaposlovanje bo v tem okviru delovalo kot dejavnik pospeševanja, z namenom ponovnega zagona „strategije iz Lizbone“.
Two Commission reports help take stock of the situation.
Dve poročili Komisije pomagata oblikovati zaključne sklepe.
The Committee of the Regions will hold a forum in Brussels consisting of: three workshops on 25 April (towns as motors for growth and employment, urban social cohesion, and sustainable urban development); a plenary session debate on 26 April in the presence of Commissioner Danuta Hübner, on urban mobility, transport and social cohesion; and an exhibition on 25 and 26 April on completed and foreseen urban planning projects.
Odbor regij v Bruslju organizira forum, v okviru katerega bodo potekale naslednje dejavnosti: 25. aprila trije ateljeji (mesta kot dejavniki pospeševanja rasti in zaposlovanja, socialna kohezija v urbanih okoljih, urbani trajnostni razvoj); 26. aprila bodo na plenarni seji razpravljali v prisotnosti komisarke Danute Hübner, in sicer o urbani mobilnosti, prometu in socialni koheziji; 25. in 26. aprila bo na ogled razstava že izvedenih oziroma načrtovanih projektov urbane ureditve.

After the consensus reached at the European Council on 17 December, the interinstitutional agreement expected in the spring must permit the adoption of legislative texts and the finalisation of the strategic guidelines.
Po soglasju, ki je bilo doseženo 17. decembra na Evropskem svetu, naj bi za pomladi pričakovani medinstitucionalni sporazum omogočil sprejetje zakonodajnih besedil in dokončanje Strateških smernic.
The following months must therefore be put to the best possible use with a view to the start-up of the regional development programmes in January 2007.
V prihajajočih mesecih bo torej treba narediti vse, kar je mogoče, za zagon programov regionalnega razvoja, ki je predviden za januar 2007.
The General Report on the Activities of the European Union in 2005 (1) is set against the background of the relaunch of the Lisbon strategy for a highly competitive and sustainable European economy that generates jobs.
Ozadje Glavnega poročila o aktivnostih EU v letu 2005 (1) predstavlja prav ponoven zagon „strategije iz Lizbone“, usmerjene v visoko konkurenčno evropsko gospodarstvo, ki je trajnostno in ustvarja nova delovna mesta.
The need is to refocus priorities and to harness all national and Community policies to promote growth and jobs.
Dejansko gre za ponovno oblikovanje prednostnih nalog in za združevanje vseh nacionalnih politik in politike Skupnosti v korist rasti in zaposlovanja.
On the basis of the Commission proposals, the European Council of March 2005 defined the three main lines of this relaunch as: placing knowledge and innovation at the heart of growth; rendering Europe more attractive for investment and jobs; and creating more and better jobs.
Na podlagi predlogov Komisije je Evropski svet marca 2005 opredelil tri poglavitne osi ponovnega uveljavljanja lizbonske strategije: postaviti znanje in inovacije v središče rasti; narediti Evropo bolj privlačno za investitorje in iskalce zaposlitve; ustvarjati številnejša in kakovostnejša delovna mesta.
In July 2005, the Council approved the‘Employment guidelines for the Member States’ and the ‘Broad economic policy guidelines for the Member States and the Community’. Together, these form the ‘integrated guidelines’for the period 2005–08.
Julija 2005 je Svet potrdil„Smernice za politike zaposlovanja držav članic“ in „Osnutek širših smernic ekonomskih politik držav članic in Skupnosti“: skupaj tvorijo Integrirane smernice za obdobje 2005–2008.
The Commission subsequently presented a Community Lisbon programme covering actions on a European scale to supplement the national reform programmes (NRPs) announced by the Member States in October.
V nadaljevanju je Komisija predstavila Program Skupnosti iz Lizbone, ki pokriva ukrepe v evropskem merilu in je oblikovan kot dopolnilo Nacionalnim programom reforme, ki so jih države članice posredovale oktobra.
In this document, the Commission analyses the 25 NRPs, identifies their strengths with a view to encouraging the exchange of good ideas, and highlights shortcomings and possible solutions. It stresses the need for coordination between the authorities responsible for the NRPs and those in charge of the Structural Fund programmes.
Še eno konferenco,„Regije in mesta: partnerji za rast in zaposlovanje“, 1. in 2. junija v Barceloni organizira katalonska vlada v sodelovanju s španskim ministrstvom za finance in Evropsko komisijo, njena tema pa bo uporaba strukturnih skladov za urbani razvoj v okviru programov za obdobje 2007–2013.
The report concludes with four priority actions:

Another conference,‘Regions and cities: Partners for growth and jobs’, is to be held on 1 and 2 June in Barcelona.
V tem dokumentu Komisija analizira 25 nacionalnih programov reform, poudarja njihove močne strani, da bi spodbudila sinergije, omenja pa tudi njihove pomanjkljivosti in predlaga rešitve.
Organised by the Government of Catalonia with the cooperation of the Spanish Ministry of Finance and the European Commission, it will look at the use of Structural Funds for urban development under the 2007–13 programmes.
Komisija poudarja nujnost koordinacije med upravnimi organi, odgovornimi za nacionalne programe reform, in tistimi, odgovornimi za programe strukturnih skladov.

In this respect, in 2004 the Commission had formulated its legislative proposals (2007–13) for the Structural and Cohesion Funds.
V tem pogledu je Komisija leta 2004 oblikovala svoje zakonodajne predloge za obdobje 2007–2013 za Strukturne sklade in Kohezijski sklad.
In addition to redefining the principal goals of development (convergence, regional competitiveness and employment, European territorial cooperation), this involved ensuring more strategic programming, increased decentralisation as part of a strengthened partnership, greater transparency and simplified management. These proposals were modified in October 2005 on the basis of the opinions formulated by the various institutions.
Poleg ponovne opredelitve najpomembnejših ciljev razvoja (konvergenca, regionalna konkurenčnost in zaposlovanje, evropsko teritorialno sodelovanje) si prizadeva za bolj strateško naravnano programiranje, močnejšo decentralizacijo v okrepljenem partnerstvu, večjo transparentnost in poenostavljeno upravljanje.Ti predlogi so bili spremenjeni oktobra 2005 na podlagi mnenj različnih institucij.

Poročilo, ki ga je naročil Generalni direktorat za regionalno politiko, navaja, da so v sedmih najbolj oddaljenih regijah EU telekomunikacijska omrežja in storitve manj dostopni kot so v povprečju v njihovih državah ali v Skupnosti.

Financing structural actions:a vintage 2005 augurs well for the new programmes
Financiranje strukturnih ukrepov:odlična letina 2005 … na zdravje novim programom
Less than a year before the start of the new programming period, the latest budgetary results for the Structural and Cohesions Funds make 2005 the best year yet.
Po manj kot letu dni od začetka novega obdobja programov so najnovejši proračunski rezultati strukturnih skladov in Kohezijskega sklada leto 2005 proslavili kot najuspešnejše leto doslej.
accession instrument for candidate countries (ISPA).
nih državam kandidatkam.
In terms of commitments, this is the highest amount ever recorded for a single year in the field of regional policy.
Če govorimo o obveznostih, je ta vsota najvišja doslej zabeležena letna vsota na področju regionalne politike.
For the four Structural Funds, Cohesion Fund and ISPA combined, payments made in 2005 reached a total amount of EUR 33.1 billion.
V letu 2005 izvršena plačila iz naslova štirih strukturnih skladov, Kohezijskega sklada in ISPA so dosegla znesek v višini 33,1 milijarde eurov.
At the end of 2005, for the 10 new Member States, the reimbursement of expenditure in the field by the Commission was similar to the amount paid to the Member States of the EU-15 after two years of programming.
Višina izdatkov v desetih novih državah članicah, uporabljenih na terenu in povrnjenih s strani Komisije, je bila konec leta 2005 podobna zneskom, namenjenim evropski petnajsterici po dveh letih novih programov v teku.
Funds destined for preaccession actions were used so well that additional funds had to be found in other fields of action.
Poleg tega so bili skladi, namenjeni predpristopnim ukrepom, tako dobro izkoriščeni, da je bilo treba poiskati dodatna sredstva na drugih področjih ukrepov.
‘During 2005, we managed to commit almost 100 % of the funds allocated to structural actions and ISPA [Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-Accession].
„V teku leta 2005 smo uspeli angažirati skoraj 100 % sredstev, dodeljenih strukturnim ukrepom in ISPA (Instrument strukturnih politik v predpristopnem obdobju).
It is becoming clear that 2005 has been the best executed budget ever.’ The use of the Structural Funds for the European regions in 2005 ‘shows once again that cohesion policy is a powerful tool in creating quality jobs and promoting growth on the ground. (…) Our major challenge is now to put into place all the necessary mechanisms to enable cohesion policy to contribute even further to the economic modernisation of European regions during the 2007–13 period,’ declared Commissioner Danuta Hübner on 26 January (1).
Izvrševanje proračuna jasno kaže, da je bilo to najboljša letina do sedaj.“ Uporaba sredstev skladov s strani evropskih regij v letu 2005 „še enkrat dokazuje, da je kohezijska politika učinkovito orodje za ustvarjanje kakovostnih delovnih mest in za spodbujanje rasti na terenu. (…) Odslej je naša glavna naloga udejanjati vse mehanizme, s pomočjo katerih bo kohezijska politika za obdobje 2007–2013 še več prispevala h gospodarski modernizaciji evropskih regij,“ je 26. januarja izjavila komisarka Danuta Hübner (1).
The level of payments was also very satisfactory in 2005 and remains high at the beginning of 2006, confirming that the good results are due to a sustained effort and sound programming.
Tudi raven plačil je bila v letu 2005 zelo zadovoljiva in ostaja visoka tudi v začetku 2006, kar potrjuje, da gre za rezultat dolgoročnega truda in dobrega načrtovanja programov.
In 2005, EUR 27.1 billion was committed under the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the pre-
