He proposed three themes: learning to live with others, bringing about communities and a sense of belonging, and recognising the full potential of all individuals. He greeted the EESC’s ongoing work as a wake-up call for civil society.
Živeti z Evropo – izziv za civilno družbo institucijami, temveč tudi pri določitvi sistema in oblike participacije organizirane civilne družbe, zaradi česar participativna demokracija postaja evropska stvarnost.
The citizens’ right of initiative, as foreseen in the Constitution, was seen as an effective way of ensuring participation.
Pozdravil je dosedanje delo EESO in ga označil za dramilo civilne družbe.
The Committee played a key role here, not only by encouraging permanent dialogue between the public and the institutions, but also by providing a system and structure for the involvement of organised civil society, thus making participatory democracy a European reality.
Predsednik OR Michel Delebarre je poudaril ključno vlogo lokalnih skupnosti in socialnih partnerjev pri pripravi politik.
The EESC’s biennial conference, which traditionally marks the end of the EESC president’s term of office, took place on 18 and 19 September 2006.
Konferenca EESO, ki že tradicionalno zaključuje dveletni mandat predsednika, je potekala 18. in 19. septembra 2006.
The Committee welcomed numerous thinkers, writers, political decision-makers and officials to the conference for two days of intense discussion, inviting them to consider the question of ‘Living Europe: a challenge for civil society’.
Intenzivnih dvodnevnih razprav na temo „Živeti z Evropo – izziv za civilno družbo“ so se udeležili številni misleci, pisatelji, politiki in uradniki.
The aim of the conference was to emphasise that a European identity does already exist but is not yet felt to be a part of people’s lives.
Cilj konference je bil poudariti, da obstaja evropska identiteta, vendar se še ne doživlja kot taka.
The European social model and the Union’s policies, such as agricultural policy or the Lisbon strategy, form the basis of this European identity which people experience as something not yet fully developed and which must be promoted in terms of how it is perceived and expressed.
Evropski socialni model, politike Unije, kot sta kmetijska politika ali lizbonska strategija, so osnova evropske identitete, ki jo posamezniki doživljajo kot nekaj še ne povsem razvitega in katere dojemanje in izražanje je treba spodbujati.
During the first working session, entitled ‘European values: identifying policies that realise European values effectively and in a balanced way’, the speakers, including MEPs Joseph Daul and Pierre Jonckheer and former Commissioner Franz Fischler, discussed how best to incorporate European values into Community policies to give them as concrete a form as possible.
Na prvi delovni seji na temo „Evropske vrednote in opredelitev politik, ki jih učinkovito in uravnoteženo uresničujejo“, so govorniki – med njimi evropska poslanca Joseph Daul in Pierre Jonckheer ter nekdanji komisar Franz Fischler – razpravljali o načinu, kako evropske vrednote vključiti v politike Skupnosti, da bi jih čim bolje uresničili.
On the second day, the Conference was divided into three workshops considering the ‘culture of economy’, the ‘culture of solidarity’ and the ‘culture of dialogue and participation’.
Drugi dan je konferenca potekala v obliki treh delavnic o „gospodarski kulturi“, „kulturi solidarnosti“ ter „kulturi dialoga in participacije“.
The conference’s closing session, entitled ‘European identity: mobilising people around a vision of the future of European society’, was addressed by Mr Friedrich Buttler, Director at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), who called for dialogue as an essential element of good governance, and by Odile Quintin, Director-General of the European Commission’s Education and Culture DG, who called upon Europe to be ‘specific, in order to be accepted by Europeans’.
Ob zaključnem srečanju na temo „Evropska identiteta: kako pritegniti državljane k projektu za prihodnost evropske družbe“ se je direktor Mednarodne organizacije za delo Friedrich Buttler izrekel za dialog in ob tem poudaril, da je ta bistven element dobrega upravljanja. Generalna direktorica Generalnega direktorata Evropske komisije za izobraževanje in kulturo Odile Quintin je pozvala Evropo, „naj se za to, da bi jo Evropejci sprejeli, osredotoči na bolj specifične vidike“.
She foresaw a‘new era of participation’ evolving in the continued absence of the Constitution, a time when the EESC would have a key role to play.
Izjavila je, da sluti, „da je pred nami novo obdobje participacije“, ki bo kljub dolgi odsotnosti ustavne pogodbe prineslo pomemben razvoj: to bo obdobje, v katerem bo imel Odbor vodilno vlogo.
The main finding of the ‘culture of economy’ workshop, chaired by Giacomo Regaldo, Group I President, was that the EU should attach greater importance to action rather than to simple declarations of intent.
Glavni sklep delavnice o gospodarski kulturi, ki jo je vodil predsednik I. skupine Giacomo Regaldo, je, da bi morala EU pomembnejše mesto nameniti dejanjem, namesto praznih izjav o namenih.
Its values should be clearly reflected in its policies and not simply function as slogans, as Anne-Marie Sigmund later stressed in the closing session.
Evropske vrednote morajo biti jasno izražene v politikah, ne pa da služijo samo kot gesla, kot je pozneje ob koncu srečanja poudarila Anne-Marie Sigmund.

Še več, solidarnost bi morala igrati bistveno vlogo pri oblikovanju zunanje politike Unije.
The many contributions made over the three working sessions allowed the participants to paint a picture of the Europe of today, identify its common values and analyse how they were reflected in the EU’s policies.
Na treh delovnih sejah so številni prispevki omogočili naslikati portret sodobne Evrope, opredeliti njene skupne vrednote in analizirati, kako jih prenesti v skupne politike.
There was a consensus of opinion that European society was marked by the balance it had struck between economic activity, social policy, dialogue and participation.
Udeleženci so soglašali, da je za evropsko družbo značilno ravnovesje med gospodarskimi ukrepi, socialno politiko, dialogom in participacijo.
The ‘culture of solidarity’ workshop, chaired by Mario Sepi, Group II President, argued that there was a need to relaunch solidarity, a fundamental value of the European venture.
V svojem uvodnem govoru je Jacques Delors načel vprašanje o ravnovesju med družbo in posameznikom v stoletju prevlade javnega mnenja in„mcdonaldizacije“ medijev.
What is more, solidarity should act as a vital element structuring the European Union’s external policy.
Spraševal se je o načinu, kako nastane družba, pri čemer je omenil delo Simone Weil L’enracinement in potrebo po angažiranju.
The EU could assert itself as leader in numerous global issues and promote its social model at the same time.
Predlagal je tri teme razmišljanja: naučiti se živeti z drugimi, ustvarjanje skupnosti in občutka pripadnosti ter v celoti priznati zmožnosti vseh
In his opening remarks, Jacques Delors addressed the question of the balance between society and the individual in a century of public opinion and the ‘McDonaldisation of the media’.
Tretja delavnica o „kulturi dialoga in participacije“ pod vodstvom predsednika III. skupine Staffana Nilssona je obravnavala različne mehanizme posvetovanja.
Quoting Simone Weil’s L’enracinement and the need for commitment,
Da bi Evropa prenehala biti zgolj delo izbrancev, je treba pritegniti državljane in razširiti postopke posvetovanja.
Workshop III on the ‘culture of dialogue and participation’, chaired by Staffan Nilsson, Group III President, looked into various mechanisms for consultation.
Pravica do ljudske pobude, ki jo predvideva ustavna pogodba, se zdi učinkovito sredstvo za zagotavljanje participacije državljanov.
To ensure that Europe ceased to be solely the preserve of the elite, there was a need to get the public involved
Odbor ima odločilno mesto ne samo pri spodbujanju rednega dialoga med državljani in
Summing up the intense and rich discussions, Anne-Marie Sigmund stated that the ‘values and objectives of the Union had to be at the heart of all its policies, and should not be mere slogans’.
Anne-Marie Sigmund je povzela živahne in bogate razprave s poudarkom, „da bi vrednote in cilji morali biti v ospredju vseh politik in ne zgolj prazna gesla“.
In her opinion, culture creates collective identity, and this emotional side would help Europeans to participate in a European civil society.
Po njenem mnenju je kultura vir skupinske identitete in ta čustveni vidik bo pripomogel k sodelovanju Evropejcev v evropski civilni družbi.
She stated that the EU had to make participatory democracy a reality in order to regain the public’s support.
Dodala je, da mora EU uresničevati participativno demokracijo, če si želi ponovno zagotoviti podporo svojih državljanov.

Renaming of the Jacques Delors building
Svečanost ob poimenovanju stavbe po Jacquesu Delorsu
A commitment to a humane and social Europe
Zavezanost humani in socialni Evropi
The challenge of participatory democracy is to involve organised civil society more fully in the process of European integration.
Izziv participativne demokracije je boljše vključevanje organizirane civilne družbe v proces evropske integracije.
Do you share that view even although the Constitution is not yet in force?
Ali se strinjate s tem stališčem, čeprav Pogodba o Ustavi še ne velja?
The building at 99–101 rue Belliard, which houses the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the Committee of the Regions (CoR), will henceforth be named after Jacques Delors.
Stavba na ulici Belliard 99–101, v kateri je sedež Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora in Odbora regij, nosi odslej ime po Jacquesu Delorsu.
During an official ceremony on 17 September, Anne-Marie Sigmund, outgoing President of the EESC, and Michel Delebarre, President of the CoR, set out the many reasons for associating the name of Jacques Delors with the homes of organised civil society and the regions, in particular his commitment to a European society characterised by dialogue, participation and decentralised action.
Med uradno svečanostjo 17. septembra sta dosedanja predsednica EESO Anne-Marie Sigmund in predsednik OR Michel Delebarre pojasnila številne razloge za to, da se ime Jacquesa Delorsa poveže s predstavništvoma organizirane civilne družbe in regij. Še zlasti sta poudarila njegovo prizadevanje za evropsko družbo dialoga, participacije in decentraliziranega ukrepanja.
Michel Delebarre and Anne-Marie Sigmund presenting Jacques Delors with the commemorative plaque.
Michel Delebarre in Anne-Marie Sigmund Jacquesu Delorsu kažeta tablo z njegovim imenom.
Self-taught, he managed to successfully combine his studies, professional activities and commitment to Christian trade unionism. He quickly became an expert in social and economic affairs.
Kot samouk je uspešno združeval študij, opravljanje poklicne dejavnosti in sodelovanje v krščanskem sindikatu ter kmalu postal strokovnjak za socialna in ekonomska vprašanja.
Former member of the European Parliament, Economics and Finance Minister under François Mitterrand and President of the European Commission from 1985 to 1995, Jacques Delors profoundly influenced European integration and made excellent use of his experience in economic and social affairs.
Ta nekdanji evropski poslanec, minister za gospodarstvo in finance pod Françoisom Mitterrandom in predsednik Evropske komisije od 1985 do 1995 je pomembno zaznamoval evropsko povezovanje ter dobro uporabil svoje poznavanje gospodarskih in socialnih zadev.
The Constitution is another matter as not all the countries have accepted it.
Osnutek ustavne pogodbe je nekaj drugega, saj je niso sprejele vse države.
It is now time for reflection and new ways of thinking.
Zdaj je čas za razmislek in nov način razmišljanja.
As I see it, we have made progress in parliamentary democracy by strengthening the Parliament’s powers and extending co-decision to certain areas.
Menim, da smo na področju parlamentarne demokracije dosegli napredek in povečali pristojnosti parlamenta ter na nekaterih področjih zagotovili postopek soodločanja.
I myself was a proponent of social dialogue and pushed it through as a way of involving key economic and social players.
Sam sem zagovarjal in nato zahteval socialni dialog, kot enega od načinov zagotavljanja vključevanja glavnih ekonomskih in socialnih akterjev.
Thanks to the EESC’s hard work since 1989 in consolidating firmly held beliefs and winning over sceptics and opponents, the idea of organised civil society has taken hold.
Z zahtevnim delom za utrditev prepričanja in bojem proti skepticizmu in nasprotnikom te ideje, ki ga je EESO opravil od leta 1989 dalje, se je pojem organizirane civilne družbe obdržal. Zdaj mu je treba dati okvir in navdih.
And I would like to pay tribute here to Anne-Marie Sigmund and to many others as well.
Predvsem pa je treba izkazati čast Anne-Marie Sigmund in še mnogim drugim.
Democracy has three basic foundations: politics, the economic and social field and civil society.
Demokracija ima tri temelje: politiko, gospodarsko in socialno področje ter civilno družbo.
I am sure that by building on this idea of civil society, rather than getting bogged down in communication issues, we will be able to make many more people feel that they belong to Europe as well as to their home countries.
Prepričan sem, da bomo s krepitvijo pojma civilne družbe – namesto da bi se pustili ujeti pastem vprašanj komuniciranja – veliko več državljanov prepričali, da so resnično del tako svoje države kot tudi Evrope.
Organised civil society in the fight against climate change
Organizirana civilna družba v boju proti podnebnim spremembam družbe za večjo ozaveščenost in sprejetje konkretnih ukrepov za boj proti podnebnim spremembam.
As stated in the opinion, climate change will have an impact on large sections of society: citizens may lose their homes and workplaces, there may be an increase in energy costs and other socio-economic imbalances.
Organizirana civilna družba bo imela ključno vlogo pri ozaveščanju državljanov o podnebnih spremembah.
Melting polar ice caps, rising temperatures, the greenhouse effect and rising sea levels: these are no longer the subjects of futuristic films.
Taljenje polarnega ledu, zviševanje temperatur, učinek tople grede in dviganje morske gladine niso več pojavi iz futurističnih filmov.
Climate change is an everyday concern and no longer a problem of the distant future.
Podnebne spremembe so vsakdanji skrb vzbujajoč pojav in ne več problem daljne prihodnosti.
What is more, this process cannot be stopped, at least not within the next 15 to 20 years.
Poleg tega je to proces, ki ga ni mogoče zaustaviti, vsaj ne v naslednjih 15 do 20 letih.
As a result, society must learn to live with climate change, seek ways to mitigate its effects, and adapt.
Zato se mora družba naučiti živeti s podnebnimi spremembami ter poiskati načine in sredstva za omilitev njihovih učinkov in se prilagoditi.
Organised civil society will play a key role in raising public awareness of climate change.
Kot je zapisano v mnenju, bodo podnebne spremembe vplivale na velik del družbe; državljani bodo morda izgubili domove in delovna mesta, pride lahko do podražitve energije in drugih socialno-ekonomskih neravnovesij.
What is important is initiating and supporting new programmes for urban and community planning, road transport and housing, as well as mobilising consumers and other vital groups to adopt clear consumption preferences that take the impact of climate change into account.
Treba je uvajati in podpirati nove programe za urbanistično načrtovanje in načrtovanje skupnosti, cestni promet ter stanovanja, obenem pa spodbujati potrošnike in druge ključne skupine, da sprejmejo jasne potrošniške navade, ki upoštevajo vpliv podnebnih sprememb.
Civil society should focus on acting as a channel between citizens and governments in order to formulate ways to mitigate climate change and, in the long term, stop the process.
Civilna družba bi morala prevzeti vlogo veznega člena med državljani in vladami, da bi našla poti za omilitev podnebnih sprememb in dolgoročno zaustavitev tega pojava.
It should also cooperate with civil society organisations in other countries.
Sodelovati mora tudi z organizacijami civilne družbe v drugih državah.
It also suggested launching an EU-wide public dialogue on climate change which would focus on how climate change may affect our everyday lives.
Predlaga tudi, da je treba v celotni Uniji začeti javni dialog o podnebnih spremembah, ki bo obravnaval predvsem morebitne vplive podnebnih sprememb na vsakodnevno življenje.
The dialogue’s purpose would be to raise awareness and make preparations over the next 15 to 20 years, during which time climate change will worsen, regardless of mankind’s actions.
Namen dialoga je dvigniti zavest in se pripraviti za naslednjih 15 do 20 let, ko se bodo sedanje podnebne spremembe poslabšale ne glede na to, kaj storimo sedaj.
By applying voluntary eco-management and audit schemes (EMAS), individual organisations and institutions can explore concrete ways to measure and reduce the environmental impact of various activities.
Posamezne organizacije in institucije lahko z uporabo prostovoljnega sistema okoljskega ravnanja in presoje (EMAS) najdejo konkretne načine za merjenje in zmanjšanje vplivov, ki jih imajo razne dejavnosti na okolje.
The EESC itself should lead by example and introduce EMAS and, in particular, explore the possibility of calculating the emissions caused by travelling to meetings — and then introduce compensatory measures.
Sam EESO bi moral dati zgled in uvesti EMAS ter zlasti raziskati možnost za merjenje emisij, ki nastanejo zaradi potovanj na seje, nato pa uvesti kompenzacijske ukrepe.
Discussion on climate change focuses excessively on the macro-level and on events in the distant future, but there is a clear need for a debate on how climate change affects, and will affect, citizens in their everyday lives.
EESO predlaga, da vsaka država članica določi in/ali ustanovi informacijski in koordinacijski urad za podnebne spre-
coal technologies: improved power plant efficiency and commercial applications of carbon capture and storage.
Strategijo za dosego tega cilja je treba usmeriti predvsem v energetsko učinkovitost, vključno s soproizvodnjo toplote in električne energije, saj boljša učinkovitost prispeva k vsem ciljem energetske politike (konkurenčnost, varnost oskrbe in podnebne spremembe).
In a strategy towards this goal, our first target should be energy efficiency, including combined heat and power production, since better efficiency supports all energy policy targets (competitiveness, security of supply and climate change).
Pri problematiki podnebnih sprememb ne bi smeli pozabiti, da lahko le globalna rešitev v okviru podnebnih politik po Kjotu, ki bi vključevala vsaj največje onesnaževalce, vpliva na globalno raven emisij in omogoči pošteno konkurenco.
Tomorrow’s energy mix — what form should it take?
Kakšna bo energetska mešanica prihodnosti?
Energy has become a top priority in the past few months.
Energija je v zadnjih nekaj mesecih postala najpomembnejša prednostna naloga.
We have all experienced the sharp rise in the price of oil, gas and electricity and have witnessed problems of supply from external energy sources.
Vsi smo prizadeti zaradi strmega naraščanja cen nafte, plina in elektrike, bili pa smo priča tudi problemom dobave energije iz zunanjih virov.
In the light of the fact that the European Economic and Social Committee has already worked extensively on energy issues and acquired a comprehensive expertise in this area, the European Commission asked us to contribute to the revision of its energy strategy for the years to come with an opinion on a strategy for an optimal energy mix.
Glede na dejstvo, da se je Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor že veliko ukvarjal z energetsko problematiko in pridobil obsežno strokovno znanje in izkušnje s tega področja, nas je Evropska komisija zaprosila, da pripravimo mnenje o strategiji za optimalno energetsko mešanico ter s tem prispevamo k prenovi njene strategije za prihodnja leta.
Greater efforts should be put into research and development, both shorter term technology development and longer term fundamentally new solutions, like a hydrogen economy and fusion.
Treba si je bolj prizadevati za raziskave in razvoj, ki so povezani s kratkoročnim razvojem tehnologije in popolnoma novimi dolgoročnimi rešitvami, kot so na primer gospodarstvo, ki temelji na vodiku, in fuzija.
Renewable energy sources have great potential in the EU, but need specifically adapted support.
Obnovljivi viri energije ponujajo veliko možnosti v EU, je pa potrebna posebej prilagojena podpora.
However, we should bear in mind that even if the European Parliament proposal is achieved (i.e. even if we manage to substitute 20 % of traditional energy sources with renewable sources by 2020), a total substitution is not likely in the foreseeable future.
Vendar ne smemo pozabiti, da celo če uresničimo predlog EP (tj., tudi če nam uspe do leta 2020 nadomestiti 20 % tradicionalnih energetskih virov z obnovljivimi viri), popolna nadomestitev v bližnji prihodnosti verjetno ne bo mogoča.
In response, we believe that all options should be kept open.
Glede na sedanje razmere pozdravljamo pobudo Komisije, da prenovi svojo strategijo.
All energy sources and technologies have, in relation to these objectives, benefits and drawbacks, which have to be taken into account in an open and balanced way.
Boljša koordinacija energetske politike znotraj EU bi zaradi večje soodvisnosti držav članic pri energetskih vprašanjih povečala sposobnost odziva na notranje in zunanje težave.
The present energy mix should be developed towards less external dependence and more non-emitting sources, bearing in mind
Natančno je treba opredeliti vlogo EU, držav članic, neodvisnih organov in tržnih akterjev.
In order to continue and even increase the use of nuclear power, support is needed for nuclear safety and the implementation of an existing, practical solution to the issue of spent fuel.
Menimo, da je treba pustiti vse možnosti odprte. Glede na te cilje imajo vsi viri energije in tehnologije prednosti in pomanjkljivosti, ki jih je treba upoštevati na odprt in uravnotežen način.
Furthermore, we may well have to prepare for an increase in the use of domestic EU coal reserves, including use in liquid and gas forms.This action should be accompanied by clean
Razvoj sedanje energetske mešanice je treba usmeriti k manjši zunanji odvisnosti in k več virom brez emisij v Evropi, pri čemer je treba upoštevati, da o naložbah v različne tehnologije odločajo tržni akterji.
In view of current developments, we welcome the Commission’s initiative to revise its strategy.
Za nadaljevanje in celo povečanje uporabe jedrske energije je treba izboljšati jedrsko varnost in uporabljati obstoječe, praktične rešitve za problematiko izrabljenega goriva.
Because of the high level of interdependence in energy matters between Member States, a better coordination of energy policy within the EU would increase the ability to react to internal and external problems.
Poleg tega se bomo morda morali pripraviti na povečanje uporabe domačih rezerv premoga v EU, vključno z uporabo tekoče in plinaste oblike.
The roles of the EU, Member States, independent authorities and market actors need to be clarified.
V ta ukrep je treba vključiti tehnologijo čistega premoga (izboljšanje učinkovitosti elektrarn, komercialna uporaba zajetja in skladiščenje ogljika).
