In a speech he armed the European Parliament’s desire to develop a culture of ‘common thinking’, which he described as follows: ‘The formation of groups has enabled the Common Assembly, even from the time of its first sittings, to develop a sense of European cohesion which takes precedence over national interests.’
dil namero Evropskega parlamenta, da razvije kulturo „skupnega razmišljanja”, kar je opisal takole: „Oblikovanje političnih skupin je Skupni skupščini omogočilo, da je že od prvih sej naprej razvijala občutek evropske pripadnosti, ki sega više od nacionalnih interesov.”
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany, who at the time was presiding over the Council of Ministers, quickly perceived the European Parliament’s potential for development.
Nemški zvezni kancler Konrad Adenauer, ki je takrat predsedoval Svetu ministrov, je hitro opazil razvojni potencial Evropskega parlamenta. 12. septembra 1952 je pojasnil: „Parlament odlikuje zlasti njegova izrazita dinamika.
Within your assembly there are – and this is typical of parliamentary work – those who seek courageously to achieve progress.
V vaši skupščini je moč opaziti – in to je značilnost parlamentarnega dela – prizadevanja, da bi pogumno sledili zadanim ciljem. Menimo, da je dinamika Parlamenta bistvenega pomena.”
These words, spoken by a great European, are as relevant today as they ever were.

The fact that there were no national delegations in the assembly did much to help generate the European spirit, to promote objective debate which was capable of rising above national dierences of interest, and to assist attempts to arrive at compromises which were intended to constitute a synthesis between national and European interests.
Dejstvo, da v skupščini ni bilo predstavnikov nacionalnih delegacij, je v veliki meri prispevalo k oblikovanju evropskega duha, stvarni razpravi, oddaljeni od nacionalnih razlik, in k iskanju kompromisa, ki naj bi predstavljal sintezo nacionalnih in evropskih interesov.
Georges Spénale, President of Parliament from 1975 to 1977, summarised this development in a remarkable way.
Georges Spénale, predsednik Parlamenta v letih 1975–77, je čudovito povzel ta razvoj.
Speaking about European integration, he said: ‘One approach is that which holds that one should first and foremost serve people and only as a second-
V zvezi z evropsko integracijo je povedal: „Modra misel pravi, da se je treba najprej postaviti v službo človeku in šele nato v službo domovini, druga pa, da ima služba domovini prednost pred službo človeku.
It soon became apparent that the capacities of the ECSC were too limited to meet the challenges of the new era.
Skupna skupščina se je preimenovala v Evropsko parlamentarno skupščino in tako postala edina skupščina treh skupnosti.
On 25 March 1957 in Rome, therefore, the six founder members signed the treaties establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom).
Prvič se je sestala 19. marca 1958, njena takratna vloga pa je bila zgolj posvetovalna.
The Common Assembly became the European Parliamentary Assembly and at the same time the single assembly for the three Communities.
Po mojem mnenju služba Evropi združuje obe misli v eno, saj v enaki meri vključuje tako službo človeku kot službo domovini.”
It first met on 19 March 1958, with only consultative powers.
Prvi predsednik Evropske parlamentarne skupščine je bil Robert Schuman.

Eorts to arrive at viable compromises have always been the main focus of the work of our Parliament.
Stremljenje po ustreznem kompromisu med obema je vedno predstavljalo osrednji cilj Parlamenta.
This is particularly true when it comes to defending
To še posebej velja za zagovarjanje evropskih vrednot3ter
Since 1988, the European Parliament has awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
Evropski parlament od leta 1988 podeljuje nagrado Saharova za svobodo misli.
All the winners, for example Nelson Mandela, Alexander Dubček, Aung San Suu Kyi or Alexander Milinkevich, have appreciated Parliament’s support for their campaigns for freedom.
Vsi dobitniki nagrade, kot na primer Nelson Mandela, Aleksander Dubček, Aung San Suu Kyi ali Aleksander Milinkevič, so cenili podporo Parlamenta njihovemu boju za svobodo.
As early as 1958, Parliament armed the universal character of the defence of human rights, thus anticipating the future political direction of the Union, giving it signicant impetus and so going beyond the purely economic framework of the Communities.
Parlament je bil tudi tisti, ki je skozi leta vedno znova pozival, da je treba v vse sporazume Evropske skupnosti in kasneje Evropske unije o sodelovanju s tretjimi državami vključiti klavzulo o človekovih pravicah.
It was also the European Parliament that, over many years, again and again advocated that all cooperation agreements concluded with third States by the European Community and later by the European Union should include a human rights clause.
Parlament je že leta 1958 podprl univerzalno naravo boja za človekove pravice in tako določil prihodnjo politično usmerjenost Unije, jo spodbujal in s tem presegel gospodarske okvire skupnosti.
It was in this spirit that Parliament expressed its solidarity with those peoples in Europe who were forced to live under dictatorships.
V tem smislu se je tudi solidariziral z evropskimi narodi, ki so morali živeti v primežu diktature.
In August 1961, for example, Parliament condemned the building of the Berlin Wall.
Tako je Parlament avgusta 1961 obsodil gradnjo berlinskega zidu.
Internally too, Parliament has been active in various fields.
Tudi na področju notranje politike je bil Parlament dejaven na različnih področjih.
These include combating racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism, combating terrorism while preserving personal liberties, and campaigning for gender equality.
Sem sodijo boj proti rasizmu, sovraštvu do tujcev in antisemitizmu, boj proti terorizmu ob hkratnemu varstvu osebnih svoboščin ter boj za enakopravnost spolov.
All these eorts were aimed at safeguarding and consolidating fundamental rights.
Pod pritiskom Evropskega parlamenta je bilo na teh področjih doseženega veliko.

sure from the European Parliament, much has been achieved in these fields.
Trud za enakopravnost je viden tudi pri prizadevanjih Evropskega parlamenta za razširitev svojih pristojnosti.
For example, in October 2007 it was possible by means of the Lisbon Treaty to render a Charter of Fundamental Rights binding which will protect our citizens.
Te pa niso same sebi namen, temveč morajo služiti blagru državljank in državljanov.
The Charter is equally binding on Member States and the European Institutions, with the exception of the United Kingdom and Poland.
Na začetku se je prek proračuna financirala predvsem skupna kmetijska politika, katere cilj je bil zagotoviti samostojnost in neodvisnost kmetijstva Evropskih skupnosti.
On 12 December 2007 in Strasbourg, the Charter was solemnly proclaimed and signed by the Presidents of the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council.
Evropski parlament se je korak za korakom zavzemal za to, da se sredstva namenijo tudi za druga področja in razdelijo med posamezne države ter regije na osnovi načela solidarnosti.
The Lisbon Treaty will give it force of law.
Parlament je to načelo zagovarjal tudi v pogajanjih z desetimi državami članicami, ki so maja 2004 pristopile k Evropski uniji.
It has adhered unshakably to its principle that the European Union must have sucient funds to attain its objectives. In order to attain this objective, Parliament has used all its powers: in 1980, for example, it rejected the Community budget for the first time.
Kot že pri človekovih pravicah, je tudi tu Evropski parlament daljnovidno prepoznal smer razvoja dogodkov in se trudi za ravnotežje med nacionalnim in evropskim zornim kotom.
The eorts to reach a consensus are also evident from the way in which the European Parliament has sought to increase its powers.
Evropska unija je morala imeti za uspešno izvedbo širitve na voljo potrebna sredstva.
However, these are not an end in themselves but must serve the good of citizens.
Uspešen razvoj brez finančne solidarnosti ni mogoč, saj ni mogoče preseči obstoječih razlik.
As in the case of human rights, here too the European Parliament displayed foresight about future events and sought a compromise between national and European viewpoints.
Danes Parlament skrbi za to, da je proračun Unije4sestavljen tako, da smo kos aktualnim izzivom. Var-
With regard to the budget, Parliament was able to expand its powers in gradual stages.
Pri proračunu je lahko Parlament svoje pristojnosti širil le postopoma.
As long ago as 1958 it pointed out that there was a ‘democratic
Že leta 1958 je opozoril na „demokratični decit”, saj so države članice sklenile dogovor o proračunu, ne da bi v ta proces vključile tudi nacionalne parlamente.
Originally the budget served mainly to finance the common agricultural policy, the aim being to guarantee the independence and autonomy of agriculture in the European Communities.
stvo okolja in še posebej boj proti podnebnim spremembam, razvoj novih tehnologij in zagotavljanje splošnega dostopa do znanja dovoljujejo Evropski uniji izpolnjevanje svojih mednarodnih obveznosti.
Gradually the European Parliament managed to secure acceptance that funds for other fields should be distributed among countries and regions on the basis of the principle of solidarity.
Po dolgem in trdem boju je Evropski parlament sredi sedemdesetih let skupaj s Svetom ministrov postal proračunski organ.
Parliament also defended this principle in the negotiations with the ten Member States which joined the European Union in May 2004.
Nepopustljivo se je držal svojega načela, da mora Evropska unija imeti na voljo zadostna sredstva za izpolnitev svojih ciljev.
It was necessary to provide the European Union with the necessary funds to make a success of enlargement.
Da bi to tudi dosegel, je izrabil vse priložnosti, ki jih je imel na voljo, in tako recimo leta 1980 prvič zavrnil proračun Skupnosti.
ful development would not be possible and existing disparities could not be overcome.
To se je zgodilo predvsem pri dveh projektih z daljnosežnimi posledicami: direktivi o storitvah5in
Today Parliament ensures that the Union’s budget4 is so designed that the current challenges can be met.

uredbi o kemikalijah (REACH)6.
Among them I should like only to single out those whose symbolic value is greatest.
Prav Evropski parlament je dosegel kompromis in s tem omogočil sprejetje obeh omenjenih zakonodajnih aktov.
Eorts to protect the environment and particularly combat climate change, develop new technologies and help to ensure broad access to knowledge make it possible for the EU to meet its international obligations.
Če je bil Parlament leta 1958 zgolj posvetovalna skupščina, bo z začetkom veljavnosti lizbonske pogodbe enakopraven zakonodajalec s Svetom za praktično vso zakonodajo.
The European Parliament has used its budgetary powers as a lever to gradually expand its legislative powers in the various successive treaties5.
Ta kompromis je bilo mogoče doseči, ker smo pustili nacionalne in politične razlike ob strani v prid skupnim evropskim interesom.
Since the enlargement of 2004, the EU has been in a fundamentally dierent situation with regard to legislation as well.
Evropski parlament uporablja svoje pristojnosti na zakonodajnem področju za lajšanje vsakdanjika državljank in državljanov.
It is becoming increasingly dicult to arrive at compromises with 27 Member States within the Council.
S tem ciljem je bilo sprejetih veliko sklepov, izmed njih pa želim tule navesti tiste z največjim simbolnim pomenom.
This was particularly true of two proposals with major implications: the Services Directive6and the
Evropski parlament je uspel s tem pomembnim prispevkom, ker je predvideval širitev in se pripravil na nove danosti.
Whereas in 1958 Parliament was a purely consultative assembly, once the Lisbon Treaty enters into force its legislative powers will be equal to those of the Council in virtually 100% of cases.

Chemicals Regulation (‘REACH’)7. Here it was ultimately the European Parliament that brought about a compromise and thus made it possible to adopt both of these legislative acts.
Sem spadajo recimo znižanje cen dohodnih in odhodnih klicev z mobilnih telefonov v tujini, priprava „črne liste” letalskih družb, ki ne izpolnjujejo zahtevanih varnostnih standardov in zaradi tega ne smejo leteti v zračnem prostoru EU, ali pa prepoved uporabe rakotvornih snovi v igračah.

Po padcu berlinskega zidu je Evropski parlament že leta 1991 med svoje vrste povabil opazovalce iz novih zveznih dežel, ki jih je imenoval nemški parlament, da bi tako olajšal vključevanje državljank in državljanov nekdanje NDR v EU.
Stricter monitoring of possible risks to human health from chemicals.
Strožji nadzor kemičnih snovi, ki so morebiti nevarne za človeško zdravje.

posebnost Evropskega parlamenta in prispeva k njegovemu bogastvu.
They were allowed to join the political groups and got to know Parliament’s working methods.
Vsak od predsednikov Parlamenta je k razvoju institucije prispeval svoje.
Our new colleagues were therefore already fully integrated into Parliament’s work from the first day of enlargement.
Predsedniki dajejo pobude k razpravam, so posredniki znotraj Parlamenta, zastopajo ga v Evropski uniji in izven nje, prisluhnejo pa tudi državljankam in državljanom.
The European Parliament was able to make this important contribution because it had anticipated the enlargement in the European Parliament and prepared for the new state of aairs. Parliament has every reason to be proud of its work here.
Ta pozitivna izkušnja se je kasneje ponovila še dvakrat: najprej pri pripravah na pristop desetih novih držav članic, katerih opazovalci so bili v Evropskem parlamentu od maja 2003 pa do same širitve 1. maja 2004, kasneje pa še pri pripravah na pristop Bolgarije in Romunije, katerih opazovalci so bili v Parlamentu od septembra 2005 do decembra 2006.
It was partly thanks to this tradition of mutual understanding that it proved possible within the European Parliament to reach politically necessary compromises, for example, as already mentioned, on the Services Directive and the Chemicals Regulation.
Vsi opazovalci so bili poslanci nacionalnih parlamentov svojih držav. Vključeni so bili v politične skupine in seznanjeni z načinom dela Parlamenta.
Since 1958, everyday cooperation in Parliament between people from dierent political and cultural backgrounds, the constant exchange of experiences, have been a specic characteristic of the European Parliament and the source of its rich vitality.
Naši novi kolegi so bili torej od prvega dne širitve v celoti vključeni v parlamentarno delo.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the European Parliament invited observers from the new Länder, selected by the Bundestag, to come to Parliament as early as 1991 to promote the integration of citizens of the former GDR into the EU.
Tako se je skozi leta vzpostavila danes ustaljena praksa, da je predsednik Parlamenta redno vabljen k nagovoru voditeljev držav in vlad ob začetku sej Evropskega sveta, v katerem predstavi stališča Parlamenta o vprašanjih na dnevnem redu.
They were involved in Parliament’s work without having the status of Members.
Poleg tega skupaj s predsedujočim Svetu podpisuje pravne akte, ki so bili sprejeti v postopku soodločanja, in proračun Evropske unije.
This was a great success, as it enabled them to familiarise themselves with the procedures of our institution and with the European Union as a whole at an earlier stage.
Nenazadnje je bila ta kultura razumevanja podlaga za to, da je Evropskemu parlamentu uspelo doseči politično nujne kompromise, med drugim tudi glede že omenjene direktive o storitvah in uredbe o kemikalijah.
They set debates in train, act as mediators within Parliament, represent it both inside and outside the European Union and take its message to citizens.
V Parlamentu vsak dan skupaj delajo in sodelujejo ljudje z različnim političnim in kulturnim ozadjem in izmenjujejo svoje izkušnje; to je že od leta 1958
During my term in oce I see important priorities as being promoting the values of the European Union both inside and outside and promoting intercultural dialogue, particularly with our partners in the Arab/Islamic world.
Kot posebno prednostno nalogo svojega mandata vidim spodbujanje vrednot Evropske unije v uniji sami in navzven, ter medkulturnega dialoga, zlasti z našimi partnerji v arabsko-islamskem svetu.
In an age of globalisation, which inspires both hope and fear, we must unequivocally oppose all forms of intolerance and build bridges of understanding.
V času globalizacije, ki hkrati vzbuja upanje in strahove, moramo odločno nasprotovati vsem oblikam nestrpnosti ter graditi mostove razumevanja.
For it is only possible to realise our common values - freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law - and particularly to secure lasting peace by means of a dialogue between cultures.
Uresničenje naših skupnih vrednot - svobode, demokracije, človekovih pravic, načela pravne države in zlasti tudi trajnega ohranjanja miru - je namreč mogoče le v dialogu med kulturami.

MARCH 1977 JULY 1979
Menim, da je bilo obdobje od začetka leta 1977 do leta 1979 izkušnja, ki mi je v času mojega evropskega delovanja dala največ zadovoljstva.
I view the years from early 1977 to 1979 as being the most rewarding of my lengthy commitment to Europe. Having been elected Member of the European Parliament for Italy in 1976, I was elected its President in 1977.
Leta 1976 me je italijanski parlament izvolil za evropskega poslanca, leta 1977 pa sem bil izvoljen za predsednika Evropskega parlamenta.
I am grateful to the Members of the European Parliament during that parliamentary term, who three times in succession, from 1977 to 1979 (an uncommon occurrence under the regulatory framework of the time), decided to re-elect me in order to ensure the success, under my presidency and with their full cooperation, of the greatest of European democratic undertakings: election of the European Parliament by universal surage.
Zahvaljujem se evropskim poslancem tega zakonodajnega obdobja, ki so me od leta 1977 do 1979 trikrat zaporedoma ponovno izvolili (kar ni bilo čisto v skladu s tedanjim pravilnikom), da bi v času mojega predsedovanja in ob njihovem polnem sodelovanju varno uresničili največji evropski demokratični podvig, izvolitev Evropskega parlamenta na splošnih neposrednih volitvah.
It was an intense and exhilarating period: we were at last shouting our belief in Europe from every town square, in dierent languages, and when knowing the language was of no assistance, our belief in Europe served to convey our convictions on the future of Europe.
Bilo je doživeto in navdušujoče obdobje: končno smo lahko svoje evropsko prepričanje glasno izpričali na vseh trgih, v različnih jezikih, ko pa nam znanje jezika ni pomagalo, je zaupanje v evropski način življenja in razmišljanja samo po sebi pripomoglo k širjenju naše gotovosti v zvezi z evropsko prihodnostjo.
When the elections results were announced, we saw that 114 375 367 voters, in nine Member States, had elected 410 Members.
Ko so bili razglašeni izidi volitev, nas je prešinilo spoznanje, da je v devetih državah članicah 114 375 367 volilcev izvolilo 410 poslancev.
However, alongside the already signicant advent of elections to the European Parliament by universal surage, there were also other events which helped to raise the political and economic importance of the process of European integration.
Poleg že tako pomembnega dogodka, kot so bile splošne neposredne volitve v Evropski parlament, pa so k večjemu političnemu in gospodarskemu pomenu procesa evropske integracije prispevali še drugi dogodki.
In the late 1970s, during my presidency and as the European election process progressed, the Europe of six, and then of nine, trapped to the east and west between the ideologies of the 19th Century, not only witnessed but also precipitated, through its faith in democratic ideals, the fall of two right-wing dictatorships – first of Franco in Spain, and then of Salazar in Portugal.
Evropa, ki jo je najprej sestavljalo šest, nato pa devet članic in je bila na vzhodu in zahodu ujeta v meje, ki so jih začrtale ideologije 19. stoletja, v poznih sedemdesetih letih, v času mojega predsedovanja in v procesu evropskih volitev, ni dočakala le padca obeh diktatorskih desničarskih režimov, najprej Salazarjevega na Portugalskem in nato še Francovega v Španiji, ampak je s svojo zvestobo demokratičnim idealom te dogodke spodbudila.
It was my honour, as the President of the European Parliament, to give the first pro-European speech in the Spanish Cortes, solemnly convened in Madrid, and later to the Portuguese Parliament which, appropriately, was meeting in Lisbon.
Imel sem čast, da sem kot predsednik Evropskega parlamenta imel prvi evropski govor v španskem parlamentu, ki so ga slovesno sklicali v Madridu, pozneje pa še v portugalskem parlamentu, ki se je prav za to priložnost sestal v Lizboni.
Furthermore, although relations with the East remained impervious – given the tight grip maintained on the Soviet countries in application of the principle of limited sovereignty – our Europe, which was managing to forge itself into an area of peace, freedom, economic development, free markets and social solidarity, nevertheless held a fascination, or at an least attraction, for the countries of the East.
Čeprav so bili naši odnosi z vzhodom togi in omejeni, saj so bile države sovjetskega bloka zaradi izvajanja načela omejene suverenosti v močnem primežu, je naša Evropa, ki se je uspešno razvijala kot prostor miru, svobode, gospodarskega razvoja, prostega trga in družbene solidarnosti, te države privlačila ali vsaj zanimala.
