All 25 EU Member States were represented at the meeting, as were Croatia, Romania, Iceland and Norway.
SreÏanja so se udeležili predstavniki vseh 25 držav Ïlanic EU ter Hrvaške, Romun`e, Island`e in Norveške.
The seminar took place on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the European Ombudsman institution and exactly nine years a W er the first seminar of the national ombudsmen of the EU Member States, which was organised in Strasbourg in September 1996.
Seminar je potekal ob deseti obletnici ustanovitve Evropskega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic in natanko devet let po prvem seminarju nacionalnih varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic iz držav Ïlanic EU septembra 1996 v Strasbourgu.
All of these aspects added a special dimension to the theme of the 2005 Seminar which was “The role of ombudsman institutions and similar bodies in the application of EU law”, a subject mamer seen as highly relevant for ombudsmen throughout the enlarged Union.
Vse to je dalo posebno razsežnost temi seminarja 2005 o vlogi ustanov varuha Ïlovekovih pravic in podobnih organov pri izvajanju zakonodaje EU, kar je zelo pomembna tema za varuhe po vsej razširjeni Un`i.
As supervisory bodies, ombudsmen have a critical role to play in ensuring the full and correct application of EU law in the Member States.
Kot nadzorni organi imajo namreÏ odloÏilno vlogo pri zagotavljanju, da se zakonodaja EU v državah Ïlanicah izvaja pravilno in v celoti.
The discussions in The Hague focused on how best ombudsmen can work together to properly play their part.
Osrednji poudarek razprav v Haagu je bil, kako lahko varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic najbolje sodelujejo, da bi primerno opravljali svojo nalogo.
Discussions at the seminar
Razprave na seminarju
The seminar was opened by the President of the House of Representatives of the States General (the Dutch Parliament), Mr Frans W. WEISGLAS, and the Dutch Minister for European ATairs, Mr Atzo NICOLAÏ.
Seminar sta odprla predsednik nizozemskega parlamenta Frans W. WEISGLAS in nizozemski minister za evropske zadeve Atzo NICOLAÏ.
Mr Rick LAWSON, Professor at the Europa Institute of Leiden University’s Faculty of Law, launched the discussions with the presentation of a report on ombudsmen’s experiences in the application of EU law.
Na zaÏetku razprave je profesor na evropskem inštitutu pri pravni fakulteti Univerze v Leidnu Rick LAWSON predstavil poroÏilo o varuhovih izkušnjah pri izvajanju zakonodaje EU.
This report was based on a questionnaire that had been circulated to all of the national oUces to gain an insight into their experiences in supervising EU law.
PoroÏilo je temeljilo na vprašalniku, poslanem vsem nacionalnim uradom, da bi dobili vpogled v njihove izkušnje pri nadzoru zakonodaje EU.
It covered, for example, the types of “EU cases” that ombudsmen encounter in their daily work, the frequency and importance of these cases and best practice in dealing with them.
Obsegalo je denimo vrste „primerov EU“, ki jih varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic sreÏujejo pri vsakodnevnem delu, njihovo pogostost in pomen ter priporoÏene postopke za njihovo obravnavo.
According to Mr LAWSON, ombudsmen do indeed have a key role to play in ensuring that public authorities apply EU law fully and correctly.
Rick LAWSON je menil, da imajo varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic resniÏno kljuÏno vlogo pri zagotavljanju, da javni organi v celoti in pravilno izvajajo zakonodajo EU.
In fulfilling this duty within their fi eld of competence, Mr LAWSON argued, ombudsmen must disregard any national rules which prevent them from
Rick LAWSON je trdil, da pri opravljanju dolžnosti v okviru svojih pristojnosti ne smejo upoštevati nacionalnih predpisov, ki jim onemogoÏajo varovanje pravic posameznikov, izhajajoÏih iz zakonodaje Skupnosti.
As regards fundamental rights, Mr LAWSON insisted that an ombudsman, when reviewing the conduct of administrative bodies in any area covered by EU law, must check that fundamental rights have been complied with.
ODNOSI Z VARUHI ČLOVEKOVIH PRAVIC IN PODOBNIMI ORGANI da mora varuh pri ocenjevanju ravnanja upravnih organov na kateremkoli podroÏju zakonodaje EU preveriti spoštovanje temeljnih pravic.
Thematic session one: Ombudsmen and the Constitution of the European Union
Prva tematska razprava: Varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic in ustava Evropske un`e e
Mr Luís Miguel POIARES PESSOA MADURO, Advocate-General at the Court of Justice of the European Communities, was the keynote speaker in this session.
Glavni govornik na razpravi je bil generalni pravobranilec na SodišÏu Evropskih skupnosti Luís Miguel POIARES PESSOA MADURO.
In his view, ombudsmen have two clear institutional advantages over courts as far as the application of EU law is concerned: firstly, in an area such as free movement, judicial redress is not eTective, because of the expense and the length of time involved.
Po njegovem mnenju ima varuh Ïlovekovih pravic pri izvajanju zakonodaje EU dve oÏitni institucionalni prednosti pred sodišÏem. PrviÏ, na podroÏju, kot je prost pretok, sodna sredstva zaradi stroškov in trajanja postopka niso uÏinkovita, varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic pa so zato pravi naslov, da obravnavajo težave državljanov na tem podroÏju.
Ombudsmen are therefore particularly well placed to address citizens’ concerns in this area; secondly, ombudsmen can perform a key role in educating public authorities about their obligations regarding the implementation of EU law.
DrugiÏ, varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic imajo lahko kljuÏno vlogo pri seznanjanju javnih organov z njihovimi obveznostmi pri izvajanju zakonodaje EU.
They have the moral authority to encourage the public administration to give full eT ect to EU law provisions.
Hkrati so moralna avtoriteta pri spodbujanju javne uprave, naj v celoti izvaja doloÏbe zakonodaje EU.
Mr Mats MELIN, Chief Parliamentary Ombudsman of Sweden, followed up as the discussant during this session.
Naslednji govornik na tej razpravi je bil glavni švedski parlamentarni varuh Ïlovekovih pravic Mats MELIN.
He pointed out that, in view of the di U culties encountered in ratifying the Constitution for Europe, we face uncertainty as to the future development of fundamental rights and freedoms within the Union.
Poudaril je, da je glede na težave pri ratifi kac` i Ustave za Evropo prihodnji razvoj temeljnih pravic in svobošÏini v Un`i negotov.
This is happening at a time when the protection of those rights and freedoms is of crucial importance (most notably in light of the body of legislation that is being adopted in response to the terrorist threat and the exceptions being made to existing rules).
To se dogaja v Ïasu, ko je varovanje teh pravic in svobošÏin odloÏilnega pomena (zlasti v luÏi sprejemanja sklopa zakonodaje v odgovor na grožnje teroristov in sprejemanja izjem pri sedanjih pravilih).
In his view, ombudsmen need to follow legal developments closely, with regard both to EU legislation to be adopted and to the implementation procedure in the respective Member States.
Po njegovem mnenju mora varuh Ïlovekovih pravic pozorno spremljati zakonodajno dogajanje tako pri sprejemanju zakonodaje EU kot pri postopkih izvajanja v posameznih državah Ïlanicah.
EUciency should not be given priority over lawfulness, he stated.
Dejal je, da uÏinkovitost ne sme imeti prednosti pred zakonitostjo.
Thematic session two: Environment
Druga tematska razprava: okolje
Ms Catherine DAY, Director-General for the Environment in the European Commission, launched the second thematic session with an overview of the state-of-play of EU law in the area of the environment.
Generalna direktorica za okolje pri Evropski komis` i Catherine DAY je drugo tematsko razpravo zaÏela s pregledom stanja zakonodaje EU na podroÏju okolja.
According to Ms DAY, 80% of environmental law in the Member States now emanates from the EU level.
Dejala je, da zdaj 80 % okoljske zakonodaje držav Ïlanic nastaja na ravni EU.
It is perhaps not surprising therefore that around one-quarter of the complaints to the Commission about the implementation of EU law concern the environment and, more specifically, problems concerning the Natura 2000 network and the failure to ensure adequate environmental impact assessments.
Zato morda ni presenetljivo, da približno Ïetrtina pritožb Komis` i zaradi izvajanja zakonodaje EU zadeva okolje, zlasti probleme pri omrežju Natura 2000 in pomanjkanje ustrezne presoje vplivov na okolje.
Ms DAY was of the opinion that it should not be necessary for citizens to bring all their complaints to the EU level — ombudsmen could play a key role in resolving complaints relating to Member States’ infringements of EU environmental law.
Catherine DAY je menila, da državljanom ne bi bilo treba vložiti vseh pritožb na ravni EU – varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic bi lahko imeli kljuÏno vlogo pri reševanju pritožb zaradi kršitev držav Ïlanic pri okoljski zakonodaji EU.
Should legal advice from the Commission be necessary in this regard, she confirmed that it could be provided.
Potrdila je, da se lahko pri tem po potrebi zagotovi pravni nasvet Komis` e.
Mr Jean-Paul DELEVOYE, National Ombudsman of France, was the discussant in this session.
Naslednji razpravljavec je bil francoski nacionalni varuh Ïlovekovih pravic Jean-Paul DELEVOYE.
He explained how the French Ombudsman tackles citizens’ complaints relating to the environment, underlining the important role of the French Ombudsman’s delegates in resolving problems that are raised at a local level.
Pojasnil je, kako francoski varuh obravnava pritožbe državljanov zaradi okolja in pri tem poudaril pomembno vlogo, ki jo imajo njegovi namestniki pri reševanju problemov na lokalni ravni.
Mr Jenö KALTENBACH, Parliamentary Commissioner of Hungary for National and Ethnic Minorities Rights, was the keynote speaker in this session.
Osrednji govornik na tematski razpravi je bil madžarski parlamentarni komisar za pravice nacionalnih in etniÏnih manjšin Jenö KALTENBACH.
He pointed out that despite the significant progress achieved to date in tackling discrimination, the transposition of relevant EU Directives has not been completed.
Poudaril je, da kljub pomembnemu napredku, doseženemu pri obravnavanju diskriminac`e, prenos pomembnih direktiv EU še vedno ni konÏan.
National ombudsmen have a vital interest in promoting the transposition process into the domestic legal system of their countries, he said.
Za nacionalne varuhe Ïlovekovih pravic je bistvenega pomena spodbujati proces prenosa v pravni sistem lastnih držav.
Moreover, they should work closely with specialised bodies that have been set up to address the problem of discrimination in various areas.
Poleg tega morajo tesno sodelovati s specializiranimi organi, ustanovljenimi za obravnavanje diskriminac`e na razliÏnih podroÏjih.
Mr Marc FISCHBACH, National Ombudsman of Luxembourg, followed up with a number of examples of complaints that had been brought to him, including a complaint alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Za njim je nastopil luksemburški nacionalni varuh Ïlovekovih pravic Marc FISCHBACH in predstavil nekaj pritožb, vloženih pri njem, tudi pritožbo o domnevni diskriminac`i na podlagi spolne usmerjenosti.
Ms Emily O’REILLY, National Ombudsman of Ireland, was the discussant in this session and focused on the area of social security, outlining a number of problems faced by citizens in claiming their rights under EU law (specifically in terms of Regulation 1408/711).
ODNOSI Z VARUHI ČLOVEKOVIH PRAVIC IN PODOBNIMI ORGANI državljani, ko zahtevajo svoje pravice po zakonodaji EU (zlasti po Uredbi št. 1408/711).
A major part of the problem, she indicated, concerns the complexity of the relevant legislation.
Navedla je, da veÏino težav povzroÏa zapletenost zadevne zakonodaje.
In this regard, Ms O’REILLY referred to the European Commission’s TRESS (Training and Reporting in Social Security) Project, which aims to improve the knowledge of the relevant Community provisions amongst all stakeholders involved, such as national judges, in particular by organising training seminars.
V zvezi s tem je omenila projekt TRESS Evropske komis` e (usposabljanje in poroÏanje na podroÏju socialne varnosti), katerega cilj je pri vseh zainteresiranih straneh, kot so nacionalni sodniki, izboljšati poznavanje ustreznih doloÏb Skupnosti, zlasti s prirejanjem izobraževalnih seminarjev.
Institutional issues
Institucionalna vprašanja
In addition to the thematic sessions, the seminar included an in-depth discussion on a number of institutional issues of concern to ombudsmen in the EU and candidate countries.
Poleg tematskih razprav je na seminarju potekala poglobljena razprava o številnih institucionalnih vprašanjih, pomembnih za varuhe Ïlovekovih pravic v EU in državah kandidatkah.
This discussion was based on a keynote speech given by the European Ombudsman in which he spoke about the objective of establishing a clearer public identity for the European Network of Ombudsmen.
IzhodišÏe za razpravo je bil osrednji govor evropskega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic o oblikovanju bolj prepoznavne javne identitete evropskega omrežja varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic.
With a view to making the Network more visible to citizens and public policy-makers alike, the European Ombudsman declared his willingness to invest resources to further develop the Network’s use of the Internet to communicate both with the public and amongst ombudsmen.
Evropski varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je izrazil pripravljenost vložiti sredstva, da bi pospešili rabo interneta za komuniciranje z javnostjo in med varuhi, s Ïimer bi to omrežje postalo bolj prepoznavno pri državljanih in oblikovalcih javne politike.
He further proposed that over the next two years a statement be developed that explains to citizens what they can expect if they turn to an ombudsman in the Network.
Poleg tega je predlagal, da bi v naslednjih dveh letih oblikovali izjavo za državljane o tem, kaj lahko priÏakujejo od varuha Ïlovekovih pravic v omrežju.
Such a statement could be discussed and eventually adopted at the ombudsmen’s sixth seminar, which will take place in Strasbourg in 2007, co-hosted by the European Ombudsman and the French National Ombudsman.
O tej izjavi bi lahko razpravljali in jo konÏno sprejeli na šestem seminarju varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic v Strasbourgu leta 2007, ki ga bosta gostila evropski in francoski nacionalni varuh Ïlovekovih pravic.
Given the importance of ensuring that the views of regional ombudsmen are adequately represented in the discussion of the statement to citizens, the European Ombudsman proposed to invite regional colleagues in each Member State where they exist to nominate one representative to am end the 2007 seminar in Strasbourg, in addition to the relevant national ombudsman.
Ker je enakovredna zastopanost pogledov regionalnih varuhov v razpravi o izjavi za državljane pomembna, je evropski varuh Ïlovekovih pravic predlagal vabilo regionalnim kolegom držav Ïlanic, naj imenujejo predstavnika, ki se bo poleg nacionalnega varuha udeležil seminarja v Strasbourgu leta 2007.
The European Ombudsman further commimed his institution to meeting with the regional ombudsmen on a biennial basis, in alternate years from meetings of the national ombudsmen.
Evropski varuh se je s svojo instituc` o zavezal, da se bo sreÏeval z regionalnimi varuhi vsaki dve leti, izmeniÏno med sreÏanji nacionalnih varuhov.
Seminar conclusions
Sklepi seminarja
The seminar ended with a short speech by the European Ombudsman, followed by a presentation of conclusions by Mr LAWSON.
Seminar se je konÏal s kratkim nagovorom evropskega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic, nato pa je Rick LAWSON predstavil sklepe seminarja.
The way forward
Pot naprej
The discussions in the seminar gave rise to many ideas that can help define the course of action for cooperation within the European Network of Ombudsmen over the coming months and years.
Na razpravah na seminarju so se porodile številne ideje, ki so lahko v pomoÏ pri oblikovanju sodelovanja v evropskem omrežju varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic v prihodnjih mesecih in letih.
The European Ombudsman has oTered the following as preliminary, operational conclusions to be drawn from the meeting:
Evropski varuh je kot predhodne, delovne sklepe seminarja ponudil naslednje:
Ombudsmen are public authorities and should, therefore, within their fields of competence, give full eT ect to rights under EU law, including human rights.
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je javni organ, zato mora v okviru svojih pristojnosti v celoti uresniÏevati pravice po zakonodaji EU, tudi Ïlovekove pravice.
Ombudsmen are very well placed to examine whether in individual cases EU law has been applied correctly by public administrations in the Member States – national, regional and local –
Varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic so v odliÏnem položaju, da p r eu Ï ` o, ali v posameznih primerih državne uprave v državah Ïlanicah (nacionalne, regionalne in lokalne) pravilno izvajajo zakonodajo EU, ter da ukrepajo, Ïe se to ni zgodilo, da bi zagotovili uÏinkovita pravna sredstva in prepreÏili podoben položaj v prihodnje.
Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of the Council of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community, OJ 1971 L 149, p. 2.

Continuous education is essential, both for the national administrations and for the ombudsmen themselves, but it requires sustained eTorts and resources.
ODNOSI Z VARUHI ČLOVEKOVIH PRAVIC IN PODOBNIMI ORGANI uprave kot varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic se morajo stalno izobraževati, kar zahteva vztrajno prizadevanje in sredstva.
In response to requests, the European Ombudsman agreed to increase his eTorts to serve as a resource for the European Network of Ombudsmen in this respect.
Na te prošnje je evropski varuh odgovoril, da se bo še bolj trudil, da bo v tem pogledu vir za evropsko omrežje varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic.
In addition to the stimulating formal sessions, the meeting allowed for more informal discussions and contacts.
Poleg spodbudnih formalnih sej je bilo sreÏanje priložnost za veÏ neformalnih razprav in stikov.
The sightseeing tour of post-war Romerdam, the canal tour in Amsterdam and the visit to the Van Gogh and Mauritshuis art museums added to the overall enjoyment of the event, as did the gala dinner to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the European Ombudsman.
K splošnemu pr`etnemu poÏutju na seminarju so pripomogli turistiÏni ogled povojnega Romerdama, izlet po kanalih Amsterdama in obisk umetnostnih muzejev Van Gogh in Mauritshuis, pa tudi slavnostna veÏerja v poÏastitev desete obletnice Evropskega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic.
The reception oTered by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix, at the Huis ten Bosch Palace, provided an additional highlight, while the informal dinner at the oU ce of the Dutch Ombudsman served as a thoroughly fi m ing conclusion to an excellent fi W h seminar.
Dodatni vrhunec je bil sprejem pri njenem veliÏanstvu kraljici Beatrix v palaÏi Huis ten Bosch, neformalna veÏerja v uradu nizozemskega varuha pa je bil povsem primeren zakljuÏek odliÏnega petega seminarja.
Cooperation on case-handling
Sodelovanje pri obravnavanju zadev
National and regional ombudsmen in the Member States are competent to deal with many of the complaints that are outside the mandate of the European Ombudsman because they are not against a Community institution or body.
Nacionalni in regionalni varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic v državah Ïlanicah so pristojni za obravnavanje številnih pritožb, ki so zunaj pristojnosti Evropskega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic, saj niso uperjene proti ustanovi ali organu Skupnosti.
During 2005, the Ombudsman advised 945 complainants to turn to a national or regional ombudsman and transferred 91 complaints directly to the competent ombudsman.
Leta 2005 je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic v 945 primerih pritožnikom svetoval, naj se obrnejo na nacionalnega ali regionalnega varuha Ïlovekovih pravic, 91 pritožb pa je neposredno predal pristojnemu varuhu Ïlovekovih pravic.
Examples of these complaints are given in section 2.5 of this Report.
Primeri teh pritožb so navedeni v razdelku 2.5 tega poroÏila.
In addition to the regular informal exchanges of information through the Network, a special procedure exists through which national or regional ombudsmen may ask for wrimen answers to queries about EU law and its interpretation, including queries that arise in their handling of specific cases.
Poleg redne neformalne izmenjave informac` prek omrežja obstaja še poseben postopek, po katerem lahko nacionalni ali regionalni varuhi Ïlovekovih pravic zapros`o za pisni odgovor na vprašanja o zakonodaji EU in njenem tolmaÏenju, skupaj z vprašanji, ki se pojav`o pri obravnavi posameznih zadev.
The European Ombudsman either provides the answer directly or channels the query, if appropriate, to another EU institution or body for response.
Evropski varuh Ïlovekovih pravic odgovori neposredno ali po potrebi vprašanje posreduje drugi instituc` i EU ali organu za odgovor.
In 2005, four queries were received (two from national and two from regional Ombudsman) and three were closed (including two brought forward from 2004).
V letu 2005 so prispele štiri poizvedbe (dve nacionalnih in dve regionalnih varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic), tri so bile zakljuÏene (skupaj z dvema iz leta 2004).
The European Ombudsmen — Newslemer covers the work of the members of the European Network of Ombudsmen and the broader membership of the European Region of the International Ombudsman Institute (IOI).
Glasilo evropskih varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic poroÏa o delu Ïlanov evropskega omrežja varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic in širšega Ïlanstva evropskega dela Mednarodnega združenja ombudsmanov (IOI).
Produced in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, it is addressed to over 400 oUces at the European, national, regional and local levels.
Izhaja v anglešÏini, francošÏini, nemšÏini, ital` an š Ï in i in španšÏini, prejema pa ga veÏ kot 400 uradov na evropski, nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni ravni.
The Newslemer is published twice a year — in April and October.
Glasilo izhaja dvakrat letno – aprila in oktobra.
The Newslemer contains contributions from ombudsman oUces across Europe.
V glasilu so objavljeni prispevki uradov varuhov po Evropi.
These form the basis of the sections on news, EU law, the work of ombudsmen and similar bodies, seminars and meetings, and announcements.
Ti so glavni del rubrik o novicah, zakonodaji EU, delu varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic in podobnih organov, seminarjih in sreÏanjih ter objavah.

Razpravni forum omogoÏa dnevno izmenjavo informac` in sodelovanje med uradi.
The most popular part of the discussion forum is the Ombudsman Daily News service, which is published every working day and contains news from ombudsman oUces as well as from the European Union.
Najbolj priljubljena storitev na razpravnem forumu so dnevne novice varuha Ïlovekovih pravic, ki so objavljene vsak delovni dan in vsebujejo novosti iz uradov varuha Ïlovekovih pravic ter Evropske un`e.
Almost all national and regional ombudsman oUces throughout Europe contribute to and consult the Daily News on a regular basis.
Skoraj vsi uradi nacionalnih in regionalnih varuhov Ïlovekovih pravic v Evropi redno prispevajo za dnevne novice in jih prebirajo.
In 2005, the discussion forum continued to provide a very useful way for oUces to share information through the posting of questions and answers, with several major discussions initiated, covering issues as diverse as the free lending of books by public libraries, making ombudsmen’s decisions public on the Internet, and the implementation of ombudsmen’s recommendations.
V letu 2005 je bil razpravni forum prek vprašanj in odgovorov še naprej zelo uporaben naÏin za izmenjavo informac` za urade, zaÏelo se je nekaj veÏjih razprav o zelo razliÏnih temah, kot so brezplaÏna izposoja knjig v javnih knjižnicah, objava odloÏb varuha v internetu in izvajanje varuhovih priporoÏil.
