But if the Union is to increase its legitimacy, it must do its utmost to enhance European political citizenship.
Raziskave javnega mnenja vedno znova kažejo, da javnost veliko pričakuje od EU v tako občutljivih politikah, kot so varnost, terorizem, energetika in podnebne spremembe ter zunanja politika.
To this end, the EU should:– Develop political rights.
EU bi se morala na ta izziv odzvati z določitvijo novih ciljev in načinom delovanja, ki je bolj usmerjen v rezultate.
The Lisbon Treaty’s current provisions should be enhanced: firstly, by encouraging Member States to grant voting rights in national elections to nationals of other Member States after a certain period of residence and tax payments; secondly, by "Europeanising" European Parliament elections through the introduction of cross border lists; and finally, by using national parliaments as conduits for the public to engage in European political debates.
Na kratko, izogibati se mora velikim besedam in raje preprosto razložiti, kako izboljšuje življenje svojih državljanov.
– Make elections more meaningful for citizens.
povečati pomen volitev za državljane.
European elections have until now failed to engage the interest of citizens.
Do sedaj evropske volitve niso pritegnile državljanov.
If this is to change, citizens must
Če naj se to spremeni, je treba državljane bolje seznanjati s politikami EU; predvsem jim je treba omogočiti, da se poistovetijo z evropskimi politiki.
Yet, at the end of the day, good governance will be judged by its results.
Uporaba novih lizbonskih orodij: politično državljanstvo v praksi
The EU has already brought numerous benefits to the lives of its citizens – for instance through the Euro, cohesion policy, common agricultural policy, Schengen – even if the credit for these achievements is not always attributed to the EU. But there is still a lot of work to be done.
Dobro upravljanje in večji poudarek na dosežkih sta sine qua non za podporo državljanov Evropski uniji, vendar sama po sebi nista dovolj.
Surveys consistently show that the public has high expectations of the EU in such sensitive policy areas as security, terrorism, energy and climate change as well as foreign policy.
Kljub vsem preteklim dosežkom EU, je mogoče opaziti zaskrbljujočo ravnodušnost do evropskega projekta, če ne že kar razočaranje nad njim.
The EU should rise to this challenge by developing new objectives and a more results-oriented rationale.
izboljšati obveščanje in preglednost, in sicer tako odločitev na visoki ravni, kot je imenovanje predsednika Evropskega sveta in visokega predstavnika, kot tudi vsakodnevnih dejavnosti EU.
In short, it must avoid rhetoric and explain in plain language how it adds value to its citizens’ lives.
To je mogoče doseči na več načinov, tudi z bolj sistematično uporabo digitalnih sredstev (elektronsko upravljanje), vključitvijo evropske

Na vrhunskem srečanju evropskih državljanov leta 2009 so državljani iz vseh 27 držav članic EU razpravljali o nacionalnih priporočilih.
Fostering ownership and identification: a bottom-up approach have more knowledge about EU policies; above all they must be able to identify with European politicians.
V Lizbonski pogodbi je določen tudi obsežen niz pravic in ugodnosti, ki jih uživajo državljani v vsakodnevnem življenju.
For future European parliamentary elections, the EU’s political parties should present truly European programmes and choose candidates for the post of Commission president.
V to "socialno" razsežnost evropskega državljanstva, katere temelj je načelo nediskriminacije, sta med drugim vključeni pravica do svobodnega gibanja, prebivanja in dela na ozemlju držav članic in medsebojno priznavanje usposobljenosti.
If we want citizens to take full ownership of the European project, the EU needs a shared understanding of its history, its day-to-day realities and its future.
spodbujati močnejšo evropsko participativno demokracijo. V zakonodajnem postopku bi moralo biti posvetovanje s civilno družbo stalno in samo po sebi umevno.
The historical origins of the EU, born out of the ashes of the Second World War, are well known.
Zato bi se morala Komisija in Svet bolj sistematično posvetovati z Ekonomsko-socialnim odborom in Odborom regij.
This knowledge must be nurtured and promoted, not only to prevent a return to the brutality of the past, but also to provide a reference for the rest of the world.
Na žalost pa protekcionistična in korporativistična nagnjena v državah članicah še vedno pogosto preprečujejo državljanom EU, da bi uživali te pravice.
– Ensure more publicity and more transparency.
Spodbujanje odgovornosti in poistovetenja: pristop od spodaj navzgor
This is needed both in relation to high-level decisions, such as the appointment of the permanent President of the European Council and the High Representative, and in the day-to-day work of the EU.
– okrepiti je treba obveščanje, ki ga zagotavljajo lokalni organi oblasti, in tako ozavestiti javnost o pravicah in ugodnostih, povezanih z državljanstvom EU;
Based on the principle of non-discrimination, this ‘social’ dimension of European citizenship includes, among others, the right to move, reside and work freely within the territory of the Member States, and the mutual recognition of qualifications.
– oblikovati je treba poseben upravni instrument, ki bo dokazoval evropsko državljanstvo in ga bodo lahko državljani prostovoljno uporabljali pri uveljavljanju pravice do prebivanja, zaposlitve in socialnega varstva;
Unfortunately, protectionist or corporatist reflexes within Member States still regularly prevent EU citizens from enjoying these rights.
Če hočemo, da bodo državljani v celoti prevzeli odgovornost za evropski projekt, potem je treba zagotoviti skupno razumevanje zgodovine, vsakodnevnega dogajanja in prihodnosti EU.
Action should be taken on four fronts in order to address this problem:
Zgodovinski razlogi za nastanek EU, ki je zrasla iz pepela druge svetovne vojne, so dobro znani.
– Encourage greater European participatory democracy. Civil society should be consulted as a matter of course and on an ongoing basis in the legislative process.
Tega znanja ni treba ohranjati in spodbujati samo zato, da bi preprečili povrnitev nasilja iz preteklosti, temveč tudi zato, da bi služili kot zgled ostalemu svetu.
To this end, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions should be consulted more systematically by the Commission and the Council.
– državljanom je treba omogočiti, da uveljavljajo evropski pravni status ("28. režim"), ki bi se poleg sedanjih 27

Schools can play a crucial role in fostering identification with Europe among children, by providing instruction in European languages, using text books on Europe’s common cultural heritage, and offering courses on European citizenship.

Exchange programmes, based on the hugely successful example of ERASMUS for university students, should be extended to include primary and secondary school exchanges as well.
– primeru programa ERASMUS za univerzitetne študente, bi bilo treba razširiti tudi na osnovne in srednje šole.
A “European civilian service”, designed and implemented in coordination with Member States, could also offer young people a platform to contribute to missions of general interest inside and outside the EU.
Poleg tega bi lahko mladi tudi v okviru "evropske civilne službe", katere vzpostavitev in izvajanje bi se usklajevala z državami članicami, dobili priložnost, da prispevajo k misijam splošnega interesa v EU in zunaj nje.
– Establish a system for evaluating the impact of EU law, making full use of the Commission’s powers in this respect, and develop measures to strengthen the enforcement and application of EU law at national level.
vzpostaviti je treba sistem za ovrednotenje učinkov prava EU ter pri tem v celoti izkoristiti ustrezne pristojnosti Komisije in oblikovati ukrepe za krepitev uveljavljanja in uporabe zakonodaje EU na nacionalni ravni.
The European Parliament and national parliaments should play a leading role in this process.
Pri tem bi morali imeti vodilno vlogo Evropski in nacionalni parlamenti.
If properly implemented, these measures will enhance the public’s appreciation for European law and institutions, but they will not in themselves create a “sense of belonging” to the EU.
Če se bodo ti ukrepi pravilno izvajali, bo javnost bolj cenila evropsko pravo in institucije, vendar pa sami po sebi ne bodo ustvarili občutka pripadnosti k EU.
This can only develop over
Ta občutek se lahko razvije šele čez nekaj časa, zlasti pri mlajših evropskih generacijah.
We all have multiple identities which include local, regional and national elements.
Vsi imamo več identitet, v katerih so združeni lokalni, regionalni in nacionalni elementi.
There is no doubt that these primary forms of identity will remain the key reference points for citizens for a long time to come.
Te primarne oblike identitete bodo za državljane nedvomno še dolgo glavna referenčna točka.
But these elements have to go hand in hand with an emerging ‘European’ identity based on shared understandings of EU’s history, the practical benefits deriving from EU citizenship, and a common vision of Europe’s future and place in the world.
Vendar mora hkrati s temi oblikami obstajati tudi nastajajoča "evropska" identiteta, ki temelji na skupnem razumevanju zgodovine EU, praktičnih koristih državljanstva EU ter skupni viziji o evropski prihodnosti in mestu Evrope na svetovnem prizorišču.
It is only by clearly spelling out the EU’s common agenda and purpose in the 21st century that our citizens will develop a stronger sense of ownership of the European project.
Naši državljani bodo razvili močnejši občutek odgovornosti za evropski projekt le, če bodo imeli pred očmi jasen skupni program in namen EU v 21. stoletju.
BUILDING ON THE EU’S STRENGTHS to realise its ambitious agenda.
NADGRADNJA PREDNOSTI EU za prilagoditev globalni dobi, ter stroške in posledice neukrepanja.
In short, it needs to communicate a common vision of how Europe can secure its future.
Skratka, predstaviti mora skupno vizijo o tem, kako si lahko Evropa zavaruje prihodnost.
The choice we face is therefore clear: build on the strengths of the EU and use its collective weight to become an assertive and relevant player in the world, or cultivate fragmentation and contemplate the possibility of absolute decline in a world where the rules are defined by those who matter.
Odločitev, pred katero smo postavljeni, je zato jasna: graditi na prednostih EU in izkoristiti njeno skupno težo, da bi postala vpliven in pomemben akter v svetu, ali pa krepiti drobljenje in razmišljati o možnosti popolnega zatona v svetu, v katerem pravila določajo pomembni.
Many people still see 2030 as a date far into the future and dismiss the validity of predictions.
Mnogi še vedno menijo, da je leto 2030 nekje daleč v prihodnosti in napovedim ne dajo prave vrednosti.
But we should be under no illusion.
Toda ne delajmo si utvar.
The world is experiencing a period of rapid and far-ranging global transformations which will continue to have a significant impact on the lives of our citizens.
Svet je v obdobju naglih in obsežnih svetovnih sprememb, ki bodo še naprej pomembno vplivale na življenje naših državljanov.
The last twenty years may have only provided a hint of what the future has in store.
V zadnjih dvajsetih letih smo bili morda deležni le pridiha tistega, kar nas čaka v prihodnosti.
The next twenty years are bound to accelerate and exacerbate many of the trends we are witnessing.
V naslednjih dvajsetih letih se bodo številni trendi, ki smo jim priče, gotovo pospešili in zaostrili.
Think longterm but act with determination now – this message must shape European policymaking in the current age of insecurity.
Razmišljajmo dolgoročno, toda ukrepajmo odločno, zdaj. To sporočilo mora biti podlaga za oblikovanje politik na evropski ravni v tej novi dobi negotovosti.
In the interest of our citizens
V interesu naših državljanov!
Europe’s strengths are real.
Prednosti Evrope so resnične.
With the biggest market on earth, a quarter of the world's trade and the donor of two thirds of development aid, the EU matters.
EU, ki je največji trg na svetu, opravlja četrtino svetovne trgovine in daje dve tretjini razvojne pomoči, je pomembna.
It offers a joint infrastructure providing citizens with a wide array of rights, services and opportunities.
Zagotavlja skupno infrastrukturo, ki državljanom nudi širok nabor pravic, storitev in priložnosti.
EU policies and programmes have helped to create an interconnected policy area spanning communications, transport, social questions, research and education.
Njene politike in programi so pomagali ustvariti prepleteno področje politik, ki obsega komunikacije, promet, socialna vprašanja, raziskave in izobraževanje.
By organising and regulating these so called “common spaces”, the EU acts as an enabler of activities for its citizens, companies and governments.
Z organizacijo in ureditvijo teh tako imenovanih "skupnih prostorov" je EU državljanom, gospodarskim družbam in vladam omogočila, da opravljajo svoje dejavnosti.
A common agenda and vision for Europe’s future
Skupen program in vizija za prihodnost Evrope
The EU also inspires positive perceptions.
EU poleg tega vzbuja pozitivna mnenja.
The Union is one which many aspire to join, either by accession or immigration.
Članstvo v Uniji je nekaj, za kar si mnogi prizadevajo, bodisi s pristopom ali priseljevanjem.
It boasts an excellent quality of life, reflected in some of the highest life expectancy figures in the world.
Odlikuje se namreč z odlično kakovostjo življenja, ki se odraža v eni najdaljših pričakovanih življenjskih dob na svetu.
The EU governance model – “governing in partnership” – is an example of effective regionalism: a common public space with pooled sovereignty and capacity to define common interests, strong institutions and the primacy of the rule of law.
Model upravljanja EU – "upravljajmo skupaj" – je primer učinkovitega regionalizma: skupen javni prostor z združeno suverenostjo in zmožnostjo določanja skupnih interesov, močnimi institucijami in pravno državo kot glavnim vodilom.
It has sound underlying strengths: political stability, solid legal foundations, achievements in social and economic cohesion and rich cultural and ethnic diversity.
Opira se na svoje trdne temeljne prednosti: politično stabilnost, trdno pravno podlago, dosežke pri socialni in gospodarski koheziji ter bogato kulturno in etnično raznolikost.
These goals and ambitions will require a step change in the approach of national governments to the EU.
Za uresničitev teh ciljev in ambicij bo potrebna velika sprememba v pristopu nacionalnih vlad do EU.
Too often they fail to realise that, in an increasingly interdependent and multi-polar world, their longterm interests are best served by pursuing them at the European rather than national level.
Te se prepogosto ne zavedajo, da se v vedno bolj soodvisnem in večpolnem svetu njihovi dolgoročni interesi najlaže uresničujejo na evropski in ne nacionalni ravni.
They have failed to mobilise the support and participation of citizens which is essential to the legitimacy of the project.
Ni jim uspelo zagotoviti podpore in udejstvovanja državljanov, ki sta ključna za legitimnost projekta.
More often than not Member States have withdrawn into themselves, focussing only on their national interests, to the detriment of the wider European interest.
Države članice se navadno umaknejo vase in se usmerijo zgolj na svoje nacionalne interese – na škodo širšega evropskega interesa.
The EU urgently needs a shared understanding of how
EU nujno potrebuje skupen dogovor o tem, kako uresničiti svoj ambiciozni program.
The EU is more than a common market.
EU je več kot le skupni trg.
It is also a union of values, embodied in a commitment to human
EU lahko s podporo evropskih državljanov, znanstvenikov in politikov,
Now more than ever, the EU is able to focus on the longterm interests and needs of its citizens.
EU se je danes bolj kot kdaj koli prej sposobna osredotočiti na dolgoročne interese in potrebe svojih državljanov.
These values have universal significance. With the support of European citizens, scientists and politicians at all levels, the EU can lead international efforts to address major global challenges, including social cohesion, climate change, sustainable development, and peace between nations.
dejavnih na vseh ravneh, vodi mednarodna prizadevanja za obravnavo velikih svetovnih izzivov, vključno s socialno kohezijo, podnebnimi spremembami, trajnostnim razvojem in mirom med narodi.
Last but not least, the EU has the capacity to think and act in the longterm interests of European citizens.
Zastaviti si je torej treba vprašanje: ali lahko gradimo na prednostih Unije v našo skupno korist?
Member states are frequently constrained in their actions by day-to-day political realities which militate against longterm planning.
Globalizacija in novo uravnoteženje moči v svetu predstavljata pomemben nov razlog za skupno ukrepanje EU.
European policymaking is less prone to these short-term pressures, and thus has more scope for introducing new proposals.
Toda EU lahko postane akter, ki ga bo treba jemati resno na svetovnem prizorišču, samo na trdnih temeljih.
So the question before us is this: can we build on the strengths of the Union to our common advantage?
Nenazadnje ima EU sposobnost razmišljanja in ukrepanja v dolgoročno korist evropskih državljanov.
Globalisation and the re-balancing of power in the world provide an important new rationale for joint EU action.
Države članice so pri svojem delovanju pogosto omejene z vsakdanjo politično stvarnostjo, kar preprečuje dolgoročno načrtovanje.
But only on solid foundations can the EU become an actor to be reckoned with on the global scene.
Oblikovanje politik na evropski ravni je manj izpostavljeno tem kratkoročnim pritiskom, zato je v njem več prostora za nove predloge.
