As well as a passport, all well-travelled pets will need something more permanent to identify them wherever they go.
Hišni ljubljenčki bodo na potovanju poleg potnega lista morali imeti še neko trajnejše prepoznavno sredstvo, ki bo povsod omogočilo prepoznanje živali.
This can either be in the form of a tattooed code on the pet’s skin or a microchip (an electronic device which can be ‘read’ by a special machine) inserted under their skin.
Gre bodisi za tetovirano številko na koži živali bodisi za mikročip (z identifikacijsko številko, ki jo lahko odčita posebna naprava), ki je vstavljen pod kožo.
In future, it’s likely that the microchip will be the only identifying option.
Mikročip bo v prihodnosti zelo verjetno postal edino veljavno prepoznavno sredstvo.
So, if Europeans want to take their pets for a walk on holiday, they can do it now, thanks to the pet passport! !
Zdaj torej lahko Evropejci svoje hišne ljubljenčke odpeljejo tudi na počitnice v tujino, saj imajo svoj potni list!
Providing choice – airline blacklist
Črna lista letalskih prevoznikov
We should all feel better knowing that passengers in the European Union can now make safe flying choices, simply by checking a website, before booking a seat on a dubious plane.
V Evropski uniji si lahko zdaj na spletni strani ogledamo varne letalske prevoznike in mirno rezerviramo sedež, saj vemo, da smo se ognili sumljivim letalskim družbam.
Flying is not without risks, but there are certain norms that we can expect of air carriers – both passenger and cargo.
Potovanje z letalom je vedno nekoliko tvegano, toda določene standarde morajo izpolnjevati vsi letalski prevozniki, bodisi pri potniškem ali tovornem prevozu.
But before the airline blacklist was created, an airline could be banned in one EU country but still fly freely to another.
Preden so sestavili črno listo letalskih prevoznikov, se je lahko zgodilo, da so kakemu letalskemu prevozniku prepovedali opravljanje letov v eni državi EU, še vedno pa je lahko svobodno posloval v drugi državi.
What kind of message does that send? ?
Mar ni bilo to zavajajoče?
So, the European Commission called on national authorities to send in their ‘lists’ and, after in-depth analysis by a committee of aviation safety experts, the EU Blacklist of Unsafe Airlines came out in 2006, naming and shaming those operators not meeting international standards.
Evropska komisija je zato pozvala nacionalne oblasti, naj ji pošljejo svoje „liste“. Po temeljiti analizi, ki so jo opravili strokovnjaki s področja letalske varnosti, je leta 2006 objavila črno listo letalskih prevoznikov, ki ne spoštujejo mednarodnih standardov.
Checks on the nearly 100 companies with the dubious honour of being on the inaugural list revealed many shortcomings: from poor maintenance and inspections, to obsolete aircraft.
Pred objavo liste so preverili skoraj 100 prevoznikov dvomljivega slovesa, ki so bili na začetnem seznamu in odkrili številne nepravilnosti: slabo vzdrževanje, pomanjkljivi tehnični pregledi, celo odslužena letala.

Europe learned a hard lesson from the 2004 Flash Airline’s crash in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Evropa se je veliko naučila iz nesreče leta 2004, ko je letalo družbe Flash strmoglavilo v egiptovskem Sharm el-Sheikhu.
According to reports, this carrier had been banned from Swiss airspace, but passengers were not aware of this.
Iz poročil je razvidno, da je bilo temu letalskemu prevozniku prepovedano opravljanje letov v švicarskem zračnem prostoru, toda potniki tega niso vedeli.
Around half of the entries on the list are registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a dozen or so in Equatorial Guinea, and the same again in Sierra Leone.
Približno polovica prevoznikov s črne liste je registriranih v Demokratični republiki Kongo, kakih ducat v Ekvatorialni Gvineji, približno toliko tudi v Sierra Leoneju.
At least now, with the website, Europeans have an up-to-date register of unscrupulous airlines.
Zdaj si lahko Evropejci na spletni strani ogledajo sproti osveženo listo brezobzirnih letalskih družb.
And rest assured, the blacklist is more than a slap on the wrist for dubious operators and countries issuing licences under fl ags of convenience.
Evropska komisija je z objavo črne liste dosegla veliko več, kot le„okarala“ nezanesljive prevoznike in države, ki izdajajo licence brez utemeljitve.
It has a real impact, especially when potential passengers vote with their feet and fly with safer airlines.
Lista je še kako vplivna, saj morebitni potniki lahko izrazijo svoje nezadovoljstvo in se odločijo za varne letalske družbe.
The EU also invests heavily in co-operation programmes to help countries trying to meet the safety standards.
Evropska unija je veliko vložila v programe sodelovanja, da bi pomagala državam pri doseganju varnostnih standardov.
And from January 2007, the European Aviation Safety Agency has taken over the safety assessment of foreign aircraft (SAFA) programme previously run by the Joint Aviation Authorities.
Januarja 2007 je Evropska agencija za varnost v letalstvu prevzela program presoje varnosti tujih zrakoplovov, ki so ga predhodno vodili Združeni letalski organi.
This means that there is now a more coherent approach to banning unsafe airlines.
Postopek prepovedi poslovanja nezanesljivim letalskim prevoznikom so tako poenotili.
More than a label, it’s an eco-statement
Znak kot ekološka opredelitev
With droughts in half the world and fl oods in the rest, people are worrying more about the environment and especially climate change.
Na eni polovici planeta pustošijo suše, na drugi poplave: ljudje so vse bolj zaskrbljeni zaradi okolja in predvsem zaradi podnebnih sprememb.
What the European Union’s Eco-label does is give manufacturers a chance to show their ‘green’ inner self and for consumers to support them by looking out for the distinctive flower symbol.
Znak za okolje Evropske unije je za proizvajalce priložnost, da pokažejo svojo „zeleno“ usmeritev, za potrošnike pa izraz podpore, ko izbereje izdelke z značilnim simbolom rože.
The Eco-label – with its distinctive flower emblem logo – was first introduced in 1993.
Znak za okolje s svojim značilnim logotipom rože so uvedli leta 1993.
It is Europe’s flagship brand for products and services that represent a better choice for the environment.
S tem znakom v Evropi označujemo proizvode in storitve, ki so prijazni za okolje.
The Eco-label helps manufacturers, retailers and service providers gain deserved recognition for respecting high standards throughout their products’ life cycles.
Z znakom za okolje proizvajalci, prodajalci in ponudniki storitev pokažejo, da upoštevajo visoke standarde v celotni življenjski dobi svojih izdelkov.
On seeing the symbol, consumers can make an informed choice knowing that an Eco-label must be earned.
Za potrošnike je znak informacija, ki jim pomaga pri odločitvi, saj vedo, da si je treba znak za okolje zaslužiti.
It is based on solid, up-to-date science and takes into account consumer health issues and the way that a product is developed.
Znak podeljujejo na podlagi zanesljivih znanstvenih študij, ki upoštevajo zdravje potrošnikov in proizvodne metode.
Lighten your carbon footprint
Zmanjšajmo svoj ogljikov odtis
The brand applies to diverse sectors, such as cleaning products, appliances, home and garden items, clothing and even tourism.
Znak za okolje se uporablja za različne proizvode, kot so čistila, gospodinjske naprave, notranja in vrtna oprema, oblačila in celo turizem.
It doesn’t cover food and beverages, the medical or pharmaceutical sector, or any goods made by processes“likely to significantly harm human beings or the environment”.
Ne zajema pa hrane in pijače, zdravstvenega ali farmacevtskega sektorja niti blaga, proizvedenega na način, ki„lahko zelo škodi ljudem ali okolju“.

The Eco-label scheme aims to encourage more organisations to apply for the award and, if they succeed, to publicise the fact.
S pobudo so želeli spodbuditi podjetja, da bi si prizadevala pridobiti znak in ga tudi uporabljala kot svojo komunikacijsko strategijo.
This will help promote the availability of eco-labelled products and improve consumer awareness of our fragile environment.
Z večanjem števila proizvodov, označenih z znakom za okolje, bi ozaveščali potrošnike o ranljivosti našega okolja.
In 2006, more than 300 products in the EU proudly wore the Eco-label – 92 of them in Italy alone.Textile products, indoor paints and tourist accommodation were the most common products to earn this green stamp of approval.
Leta 2006 se je več kot 300 proizvodov v EU ponašalo z znakom za okolje, od tega 92 v Italiji, med njimi pa so bili najpogostejši tekstilni izdelki, barve in turistična prenočišča.
As Europeans look for new ways to lower their impact on the planet – by lightening their carbon footprint – it is likely that the Eco-label will become even more important.
V Evropi iščemo nove načine, kako zmanjšati onesnaževanje okolja, predvsem z akcijo „zmanjšajmo svoj ogljikov odtis“. Pomen znaka za okolje se bo tako verjetno še povečal.
Safe European consumers
Varstvo evropskih potrošnikov
Europe is a huge single market for consumer goods.
Evropa je ogromen enotni trg za življenjske potrebščine.
But consumers want to be sure that the products they buy are high quality and, above all, safe.
Toda potrošniki želijo biti prepričani, da so proizvodi, ki jih kupijo, visoke kakovosti in predvsem varni.
That is why European product safety rules are so important.
Prav zato so evropska pravila za varnost proizvodov tako pomembna.
European product safety rules ensure the safety of all EU citizens by making sure that everyone benefits from the same high level of consumer protection and safety.
Evropska pravila za varnost proizvodov zagotavljajo varnost vseh državljanov EU, saj za vse velja enako visoko stopnja zaščite in varnosti.
High standards have been set and defective products must be withdrawn from the market.
Določeni so visoki standardi in pomanjkljive izdelke je treba umakniti s trga.
A rapid information exchange service (RAPEX) has been established that means consumers across Europe are swiftly notified of a product problem in one region and, if necessary, a product recall can be started.
Uveden je bil sistem hitrega obveščanja o nevarnih proizvodih (RAPEX), s katerim so potrošniki v Evropi hitro obveščeni o težavah v zvezi s proizvodom v neki regiji in se po potrebi lahko sproži postopek za umik izdelka.
Freedom to shop
Varen nakup
The main aim of the product safety rules is to enable European shoppers to buy where they wish with confidence, whether on-line, from a market stall or from a traditional shop.
Glavni namen pravil o varnosti proizvodov je omogočiti Evropejcem, da lahko brez pomislekov nakupujejo kjerkoli, po spletu, na tržnici ali v običajni trgovini.
But besides setting general rules for all products, the rules also establish additional special safety regulations for items like toys, electrical and gas appliances, machinery and recreational vehicles.
Poleg splošnih pravil, ki veljajo za vse proizvode, so določeni še posebni varnostni predpisi za nekatere proizvode, kot so igrače, električne in plinske naprave, stroji in rekreacijska vozila.
The science of safety
Znanost za varnost
These special rules are only made if they need to be, or if science brings new knowledge of a potential risk.
Ti posebni predpisi se izdajo samo po potrebi ali če znanost odkrije novo potencialno tveganje.
A good example is the ban on the use of phthalates.
Dober primer je denimo prepoved uporabe ftalatov.
Naturally, these types of decisions are based on careful scientific assessment.
Takšne odločitve seveda temeljijo na skrbnih znanstvenih ocenah.
After all, when it comes to consumer safety: it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Kadar gre za varnost potrošnikov, je praviloma bolje zaščititi kot obžalovati.
Keeping hazardous substances out of REACH
REACH: nadzor nad kemikalijami
Thanks to the European Union, new controls have been put in place that will help protect humans and the environment from dangerous chemical substances while maintaining Europe’s competitive edge in the chemicals industry.
Evropska unija je uvedla nov predpis, ki bo pomagal zaščititi ljudi in okolje pred nevarnimi kemičnimi snovmi, pri tem pa ohranjal konkurenčnost evropske kemične industrije.
Up to now, there have been too many confusing safety laws on the use and handling of chemicals.
Uporabo in ravnanje s kemikalijami je vse doslej urejalo vse preveč predpisov o varnosti, kar je povzročalo precej zmede.
With its new REACH policy (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals), the European Union is simplifying things.
Evropska unija je zadeve zdaj poenostavila z novim predpisom„REACH“ (registracija, evalvacija in avtorizacija kemikalij), po katerem morajo evropska podjetja oceniti in upravljati vsa morebitna tveganja v zvezi s kemikalijami, ki jih proizvajajo, uvažajo ali uporabljajo.
The challenge has been to achieve the right balance between a number of potentially competing goals.These were set out in an important European document, the‘White Paper on Strategy for a Future Chemicals Policy’.They included protecting humans and the environment against dangerous chemicals, keeping the European chemical industry competitive, and promoting non-animal testing.
Najtežje je bilo doseči ravnotežje med številnimi potencialno konkurenčnimi cilji.Ti so navedeni v pomembnem evropskem dokumentu – beli knjigi „Strategija za prihodnjo politiko na področju kemikalij“: zaščita ljudi in okolja pred nevarnimi kemikalijami, ohranjanje konkurenčnosti evropske kemične industrije, izogibanje poskusom na živalih.
With this new REACH policy, the Union has worked on finding the right formula.
Evropska unija poskuša rešitev najti z novim predpisom REACH.
Keeping tabs on dangerous chemicals
Označevanje nevarnih kemikalij
In line with this new strategy, REACH is meant to protect people against potentially hazardous chemicals.
Nova strategija REACH naj bi zaščitila ljudi pred potencialno nevarnimi kemikalijami.
At the same time, European governments recognise that they need to allow businesses to be innovative and successful in the global chemical industry.
Hkrati pa se evropske vlade zavedajo, da morajo podpreti inovativnost in konkurenčnost kemične industrije na svetovnem trgu.
With REACH, the Union is working hard to make sure all manufacturers, importers and users of chemicals are prepared and fully aware of what is expected of them.
Evropska unija si s predpisom REACH prizadeva zagotoviti, da bi se vsi proizvajalci, uvozniki in uporabniki kemikalij zavedali svojih obveznosti in jih izpolnjevali.
Recognisable qualifications cations
Priznavanje poklicnih kvalifikacij kacij
Europe is working hard to make it easier for employers and educational bodies to recognise ‘foreign’ qualifications.
Evropa si zelo prizadeva, da bi delodajalci in izobraževalne ustanove hitreje priznavali „tuje“ poklicne kvalifi kacije.
This is particularly useful for recent graduates who want to do some further study and perhaps work in another part of Europe, but may be worried that their qualifications won’t be valid outside of their home country.
To bi najbolj koristilo mladim diplomantom, ki bi radi nadaljevali študij ali se zaposlili v drugi evropski državi, vendar jih skrbi, da njihove diplome zunaj ne bodo priznali.
European countries got together in 1999 to create what is known as the‘Bologna Process’.
Evropske države so se sestale leta 1999 in pripravile t.i. „bolonjski proces“, s katerim so želele uresničiti nekaj zelo pomembnega:„evropski visokošolski prostor“, ki bi študentom olajšal mobilnost v Evropi.
The aim is to create something impressive, a ‘European Higher Education Area’to make it easier for people to move around Europe for study.
Dolgoročno bi se tako izboljšala tudi mobilnost delavcev v Evropi in konkurenčnost njenega gospodarstva.
In the longterm, this will help workers to move in Europe, too, and help make the European economy more competitive.The Bologna Process now covers 46 countries and is building on the experience of 1 million Erasmus students.
Bolonjski proces danes zajema 46 držav, gradi pa na izkušnjah milijona študentov iz programa Erasmus.
If this Bologna Process is going to work, it is vital that European countries find a way to recognise each other’s educational and vocational qualifications – not easy considering how many different training and education systems there are!
Za uspešno delovanje bolonjskega procesa je pomembno, da evropske države priznavajo diplome in poklicne kvalifikacije druge države, kar ni tako preprosto, če pomislimo na številne različne sisteme izobraževanja in usposabljanja!
But, progress is being made.
Vendar smo dosegli napredek.
For example, a European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is being established for EU and Bologna countries, which is great news.
Pripravlja se evropski okvir kvalifikacij, ki bo veljal za države EU in države, vključene v bolonjski proces.
It will link up the different countries’ qualifications systems – in all the different sectors – so that they can understand each other, making them more easily recognisable and transferable.
Ta okvir bo namreč vzpostavil povezave med kvalifikacijami različnih držav (za vse sektorje), kar bo omogočilo boljše razumevanje in lažje priznavanje in prenos poklicnih kvalifikacij. kacij.

In 1984, a network of centres was established in Europe to provide advice and information on the academic recognition of diplomas obtained abroad (ENIC-NARIC).
Leta 1984 so v Evropi ustanovili mrežo informacijskih centrov za nasvete in informacije o akademskem priznavanju tujih diplom (ENIC-NARIC).
And, in 1989, the European Commission introduced the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), now widely used to facilitate recognition of study abroad.
Leta 1989 je Evropska komisija uvedla sistem prenašanja kreditnih točk (ECTS), ki se zdaj uporablja za priznavanje študija v tujini.

Dodatek k diplomi prav tako pomaga delodajalcem in univerzam pri razumevanju diplom.
Thanks to Europol, the European Union law enforcement agency, different police forces across Europe are better able to work together and the EU is a much safer place for it.
Evropski policijski urad Europol omogoča lažje sodelovanje policije v Evropi in posledično varnejšo Evropo.
Europol, which started in 1999, is nothing less than a full-scale European police force, supporting the different police forces in all the EU Member States.
Europol je začel delovati leta 1999 in je prava evropska policija, ki pomaga policijskim enotam v vseh državah članicah EU v boju proti trgovanju z drogami, nezakonitemu priseljevanju, terorizmu, trgovini z ljudmi, poneverbam in pranju denarja itd.

Support means just that – direct help where the police forces in one country have identifi ed an organised criminal structure and two or more other EU countries are affected.
Delo Europola je neposredno sodelovanje, kadar policija neke države članice odkrije organizirano kriminalno združbo, ki deluje v več državah članicah EU.
Europol helps them share information, generate‘strategic reports’(things like threat assessments) and other types of intelligence.
Europol pomaga pri izmenjavi informacij, pripravi „strateških poročil“ (npr. ocena nevarnosti) in drugih obveščevalnih dejavnostih.
It can even help with technical expertise and back-up.
Na pomoč lahko priskoči s strokovnim znanjem in z osebjem.
Europol officers work closely with member countries to maximise the potential for co-operation. Sometimes support can even mean just helping two police forces to get over language barriers and talk to each other.
Uradniki Europola tesno sodelujejo z državami članicami in tako utrjujejo njihovo medsebojno sodelovanje.Včasih zadošča že to, da policijama dveh držav pomagajo premostiti jezikovne prepreke, ki ovirajo sporazumevanje.

There are plenty of examples where EU police forces have managed to break up some big criminal operations with Europol’s assistance.
V številnih primerih je policijam držav EU ob pomoči Europola uspelo razbiti nekatere velike kriminalne združbe.
In 2005 and 2006, it worked with the Dutch and German police in an operation that eventually broke up a massive criminal drug-making operation.
V letih 2005 in 2006 je Europol sodeloval z nizozemsko in nemško policijo pri zajetju velike kriminalne organizacije, ki se je ukvarjala z mamili.
In 2006, Europol helped Spanish and Columbian police, working with the US Secret Service, in an operation that ended with the seizure of more than 5 million euro and 4.3 million US dollars worth of counterfeit banknotes.
Leta 2006 je Europol v sodelovanju s tajno službo ZDA podprl špansko in kolumbijsko policijsko operacijo, ki se je končala z zasegom ponarejenih bankovcev v vrednosti več kot 5 milijonov evrov in 4,3 milijona ameriških dolarjev.
Requests for help from Europol are growing every year – a clear sign that this young organisation is doing the right thing and helping law-abiding Europeans go about their daily lives unhindered by criminal activity.
Pri Europolu vsako leto prejmejo več prošenj za pomoč, kar jasno kaže na pravilno usmerjenost te mlade organizacije in njeno učinkovito skrb za mirno in varno življenje Evropejcev.

Without MEDIA funds, some of Europe’s best-known films would still be just ideas.
Brez finančne podpore programa MEDIA (spodbujanje razvoja avdiovizualne industrije) bi nekateri najboljši evropski filmi bili le zamisel.
Its support for the film and audiovisual industry has been boosting European cultural identity for nearly 20 years.
MEDIA že dvajset let podpira filmsko in avdiovizualno industrijo v Evropi ter evropsko kulturno prepoznavnost.
Have you seen Lars vonTrier’s Dogville, the European Film Award-winning Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amelie Poulin by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or Caché (Hidden) or the recent Oscar-winning film Das Leben der Anderen by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck? These are just some examples of many successful European films seen by audiences across Europe and beyond, thanks to the MEDIA programme.

Over the last 18 years, MEDIA has been able to stimulate the creative aspects of film development and training, while never losing sight of the business side of the audiovisual sector, including production and distribution.
Program MEDIA že osemnajst let spodbuja ustvarjalnost v filmski proizvodnji, ne da bi pri tem zanemaril komercialni vidik avdiovizualnega sektorja, zlasti produkcijo in distribucijo.
