He highlighted growth and competitiveness as key elements for the future of Europe and declared the will of the German presidency to contribute to the human face of employment, acknowledging a ‘positive impact between employment and social policy’.
Kot ključna elementa prihodnosti Evrope je omenil rast in zaposlovanje in dodal, da si bo nemško predsedstvo prizadevalo za čim bolj humane pogoje pri zaposlovanju, ob tem pa priznal „pozitivno povezavo med zaposlovanjem in socialno politiko“.
During the debate that followed, Mr Glos
Med razpravo, ki je sledila, je dejal, da ponujajo razvoj
Resolving the pending question of the fate of the Constitution, which is ‘on ice’ after the negative referendum results in France and the Netherlands, is ‘a Herculean task’ according to Michael Glos.
Rešitev odprtega vprašanja evropske ustave, ki je po negativnih izidih francoskega in nizozemskega referenduma „zamrznjena“, je po besedah g. Glosa „naloga za Herkula“.
In this context, he admitted that it would be a major success for the German presidency to put forward a plan and he noted that the 18 Member States that ratified the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe cannot be ignored.
V zvezi s tem je priznal, da bi bil ogromen uspeh nemškega predsedstva že, če bi mu uspelo uresničiti načrte, in dodal, da ni mogoče prezreti dejstva, da je Pogodbo o Ustavi za Evropo ratificiralo že 18 držav članic.
He said that there is no alternative to it, as it is a one-way street towards making Europe ‘more transparent, more efficient and more democratic’, proclaiming that ‘Europe can succeed if we all work together’.
Dejal je, da alternative ni, saj je pot do „bolj pregledne, bolj učinkovite in bolj demokratične Evrope“ enosmerna ulica. „Evropa lahko uspe samo, če bomo pri tem vsi sodelovali“.
At the EESC plenary session held on 15 February, Viviane Reding, Information Society and Media Commissioner, stressed the major responsibility of the EESC in the assessment of the EU’s information society policy with respect to its social and economic implications.
Komisarka za informacijsko družbo in medije Viviane Reding je na plenarnem zasedanju EESO 15. februarja 2007 poudarila veliko odgovornost EESO pri ocenjevanju ekonomskih in socialnih posledic politike EU na področju informacijske družbe.
The Commissioner reacted to two opinions on a secure information society and electronic communication networks and services.
Prav tako je spregovorila o mnenju o strategiji za varno informacijsko družbo ter mnenju o elektronskih komunikacijskih omrežjih in storitvah.

EU–Japan relations: EESC proposes strategy to step-up civil society contacts by Eve Päärendson
Odnosi med EU in Japonsko: EESO predlaga strategijo za poglobitev stikov med civilnima družbama
At present such challenges might include the areas of the environment, productivity, ageing populations and work–life balance.
Reding je pozdravila mnenje EESO o pregledu regulativnega okvira EU za elektronska komunikacijska omrežja in storitve (poročevalec: Thomas McDonogh) in poudarila, da je pri spodbujanju rasti in ustvarjanju delovnih mest v Evropi eden glavnih izzivov Evrope, da na notranjem trgu oblikuje informacijsko družbo.

nje skupnih izzivov pa kaže na to, da je prišel čas za okrepitev stikov.
It will take significant time to establish more and stronger contacts, and identifying the best partners will be crucial.
Med tovrstne izzive bi zdaj lahko uvrstili področja okolja, produktivnosti, staranja prebivalstva in ravnotežja med delom in zasebnim življenjem.
He indicated that Europe should move as quickly as possible towards an approach to spectrum management.
Poudaril je, da bi morala Evropa čim prej sprejeti bolj tržni pristop k upravljanju spektra. Zato bi bilo treba ustanoviti evropsko agencijo za spekter, da bi vzpostavili povezan in integriran sistem upravljanja spektra na evropski ravni.
With the support of Ms Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy, the EESC has drawn up an own-initiative opinion on the role of civil society in EU–Japan relations.
Ob podpori ge. Benite Ferrero-Waldner, komisarke za zunanje odnose in evropsko sosedsko politiko, je EESO pripravil mnenje na lastno pobudo o vlogi civilne družbe v odnosih med EU in Japonsko.
The aim of this opinion is to consider developments in civil society in Japan and to explore ways in which EU civil society, and notably our Committee, could cooperate with it to further strengthen EU relations with Japan.
Cilj tega mnenja je proučiti razvoj civilne družbe na Japonskem in raziskati, kako lahko civilna družba EU, predvsem pa EESO, sodeluje s civilno družbo na Japonskem in tako še naprej krepi odnose EU z Japonsko.
The opinion was adopted at the EESC’s February plenary session.
Mnenje je bilo sprejeto na februarskem plenarnem zasedanju Odbora.

Za vzpostavitev pogostejših in tesnejših stikov bo potrebno kar nekaj časa, pri tem pa bo predvsem treba najti najboljše par-
Within this context, the two European Centres established in 2005 in Tokyo area and in Kansai, as well as the Japanese Centre for International Exchange, offer a basis for networking and building partnership.
Evropska centra, ki sta leta 2005 odprla vrata v Tokiu in regiji Kansai, in Japonski center za mednarodno izmenjavo v tem okviru nudijo podlago za navezovanje mreže stikov in oblikovanje partnerstev.
The Committee has, in particular, already developed good links with the European Centre in Kansai; and we are pleased that Kobe University is sending Mr Takeshi Shimuzu to the EESC as a trainee for a short time, starting on 5 March.
Odbor je razvil dobre stike še posebej z Evropskim centrom v regiji Kansai in veseli smo, da se je Univerza Kobe odločila v EESO poslati Takešija Šimuzuja, ki bo od 5. marca naprej tu na krajšem pripravništvu.
Security issues and information networks
Vprašanja varnosti informacijskih omrežij
Japan is a major player in East Asia, and one of the EU’s strategic partners.
Japonska je ena od najvplivnejših držav vzhodne Azije in tudi strateška partnerica EU.
Although Europe and Japan are on opposite sides of the globe, and although both have complex and very distinctive cultures, we share much the same fundamental values and many common interests and concerns.
Čeprav sta Evropa in Japonska na nasprotnih koncih sveta in imata obe kompleksni in zelo različni kulturi, si kljub temu delimo bolj ali manj enake osnovne vrednote ter številne skupne interese in skrbi.
Both are major economic entities who wish to play a wider international role.
Obe sta pomembni gospodarski skupnosti, ki želita okrepiti svojo mednarodno vlogo.
Both are democratic societies.
Obe sta demokratični družbi. V našem skupnem interesu je, da utrdimo in poglobimo medsebojne odnose in razumevanje.
An important initial step could be to hold a meeting to identify common problems and to discuss the way ahead, including which organisations could most usefully represent both parties.
Pomemben prvi korak bi lahko bil sestanek, na katerem bi opredelili skupne težave in razpravljali o prihodnjih potezah, tudi o tem, katere organizacije bi lahko najbolje zastopale obe strani.
The participants for this meeting should be representatives of EU and Japanese civil society who could provide a basis for further networking.
Tega sestanka bi se udeležili predstavniki civilnih družb EU in Japonske, ki bi lahko predstavljali podlago za nadaljnje mrežno povezovanje.
For the EU, both the EESC and social partners should provide the majority of the delegates.
EESO in socialni partnerji bi morali imenovati večino predstavnikov EU za to srečanje.
At the 10th EU–Japan Summit, in December 2001, the two parties adopted an action plan divided into four main objectives and setting specific goals over the next 10 years.
Na 10. vrhunskem sestanku EU in Japonske decembra 2001 sta obe strani sprejeli akcijski načrt, ki ima štiri glavne cilje in določa konkretne naloge za naslednje desetletje.
The fourth objective, entitled ‘Bringing together people and cultures’, includes a specific chapter on developing links between civil society in the EU and Japan.
Četrti cilj z naslovom Povezovanje ljudi in kultur vključuje posebno poglavje o krepitvi povezav med civilnima družbama EU in Japonske.
The role of civil society in Japan is of steadily increasing importance although most often it still focuses on local and regional issues.
Pomen civilne družbe na Japonskem stalno narašča, čeprav je njena vloga najpogosteje še vedno omejena na lokalna in regionalna vprašanja.
The Commissioner stressed the need for ‘a structured process of consultation and dialogue, a new form of partnership that would engage the public and the private sectors, including SMEs, and an enhanced role for consumers through empowerment’.
Prav tako je poudarila potrebo po strukturiranem posvetovanju in dialogu, novi obliki partnerstva, ki bi povezalo javni in zasebni sektor, predvsem MSP, ter potrebo po krepitvi vloge in moči potrošnikov.
The Commissioner indicated her wish to further the cooperation with the EESC through a request for two exploratory opinions in the field of e-inclusion and ageing.
Komisarka je povedala, da želi poglobiti sodelovanje z EESO, in ga zaprosila, da pripravi dve raziskovalni mnenji: o vključevanju v informacijsko družbo (e-vključevanje) in o staranju.
In our opinion, it appears that there are currently relatively few specific areas (for example employers, trade unions or consumers) of strong contact between the EU and Japanese civil societies although the increasing recognition of shared
V svojem mnenju ugotavljamo, da je razmeroma malo konkretnih področij (na primer delodajalci, sindikati in potrošniki) tesnega sodelovanja med civilnima družbama EU in Japonske. Vse večje prepoznava-
Over time a more structured dialogue on the roundtable model could be envisaged.
Pozneje bi lahko razmislili o bolj strukturiranem dialogu v obliki okroglih miz.
Additionally, the Committee also stresses that appropriate civil society organisations from both sides should routinely be considered for inclusion in relevant seminars and similar events.
Odbor želi še poudariti, da bi bilo treba ustrezne organizacije civilne družbe z obeh strani rutinsko vključiti v seminarje in podobne dogodke.
Finally, funding requirements should be reduced where possible by making increasing use of modern techniques such as video conferences and Voice over Internet Protocol.
Z večjo uporabo sodobnih tehnologij, kot so video konference in spletne telefonske storitve, pa bi bilo treba zmanjšati finančne zahteve, kjer je to mogoče.
Preserving biodiversity is an ethical and moral obligation
Ohranjanje biotske raznovrstnosti je etična in moralna obveznost
The Committee regrets the very rapid decline of biodiversity and calls for more political will on the issue.
Odbor obžaluje hitro upadanje biotske raznovrstnosti in zahteva več politične volje
nition of the situation: maintaining biodiversity is an essential task with a twofold purpose, since it is in fact an ethical and moral obligation while at the same time representing an economic opportunity.
Člani so glede opredelitve položaja soglašali s Komisijo: ohranjanje biotske raznovrstnosti je bistvena naloga, ki ima dvojni namen, saj je pravzaprav etična in moralna obveznost, hkrati pa predstavlja gospodarsko priložnost.

Lutz Ribbe zagovarja biotsko raznovrstnost
Almost 10 years ago, in 1998, the EU pointed out in its biodiversity strategy that the scale of the loss of biodiversity had ‘accelerated dramatically’.
Pred skoraj desetimi leti, leta 1998, je EU v strategiji ohranjanja biotske raznovrstnosti opozorila na izredno hitro zmanjševanje biotske raznovrstnosti.
Three years later, the European Council promised the European public that steps would be taken to ensure the restoration Lutz Ribbe defends of habitats and natural systems by biodiversity.2010.
Tri leta pozneje je Evropski svet obljubil evropski javnosti, da bo do leta 2010 poskrbel za obnovo habitatov in naravnega sistema.
However, in its recent communication on biodiversity, the Commission paints a black picture, since the decline in biodiversity is still ongoing.
Vendar je Komisija v svojem nedav- nem sporočilu o biotski razno- vrstnosti črnogleda, saj se zman- jševanje biotske raznovrstnosti še kar nadaljuje.
­ brought about by the decline in ecosystem services is already at the present time estimated at several hundred billion euros, constituting a heavy burden for the European economies.
izgube, ki izhajajo iz upada storitev ekosistemov, že danes znašajo nekaj sto milijard evrov, kar je težko breme za evropsko gospodarstvo.

Slavnostni večer poljskih podjetnikov
This decline is extremely alarming as demonstrated by studies drawn up by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and by the ‘red lists’ of threatened animal and plant species drawn up at national level.
Ta izguba je zelo zaskrbljujoča, kar kažejo tudi študije Evropske agencije za okolje ter t. i. „rdeči seznami“ ogroženih živalskih in rastlinskih vrst, ki so bili pripravljeni na nacionalni ravni.
According to the Commission, Europe is still a long way from achieving its goal of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Evropa še precej daleč od uresničitve cilja zaustaviti zmanjševanje biotske raznovrstnosti do leta 2010.
The only way in which the ongoing negative trend can be reversed is by means of ‘substantial changes in policy and practice’.
Negativni razvoj lahko preusmerimo samo „z občutnimi spremembami v politiki in praksi“.
In its February plenary session, the Committee adopted by a large majority an opinion on halting the loss of biodiversity and sustaining the ecosystem services, prepared by rapporteur Lutz Ribbe. The members agreed with the Commission’s defi-
Odbor je na februarskem plenarnem zasedanju z veliko večino glasov sprejel mnenje o zaustavitvi zmanjševanja biotske raznovrstnosti in ohranjanju storitev ekosistemov, ki ga je pripravil poročevalec Lutz Ribbe.
The Committee identified that the trend towards biodiversity continues to be negative not due to lack of knowledge about how to tackle species’ decline, but because of the absence of political will to effectively implement the measures which have long been acknowledged to be necessary.
Odbor je ugotovil, da je trend glede biotske raznovrstnosti še vedno negativen, in sicer ne zaradi pomanjkanja znanja o tem, kako se spoprijeti z izginjanjem vrst, temveč zaradi odsotnosti politične volje za učinkovito izvajanje ukrepov, za katere je že dolgo znano, da so potrebni.
The experience gained with the Natura 2000 network speaks for itself: a strategic debate is necessary over how to explain the tremendous discrepancies between the action which should be taken, the announcements, and what actually happens in reality in respect of maintaining biodiversity — a problem almost completely disregarded in the Commission’s communication and action plan.
Izkušnje z mrežo Natura 2000 govorijo same zase: potrebna je strateška razprava o tem, kako pojasniti ogromna neskladja med ukrepi, ki bi jih bilo treba sprejeti, napovedmi in pa resničnimi ukrepi za ohranjanje biotske raznovrstnosti. Ta problem pa je v sporočilu Komisije in akcijskem načrtu skoraj popolnoma prezrt.
Lisbon strategy: the EESC urges the European Council to incorporate organised civil society
Lizbonska strategija: EESO poziva Evropski svet, naj vključi organizirano civilno družbo
The Grand Gala of the Business Centre Club (BCC), the biggest and most prestigious organisation of its kind in Poland, bringing together over 1 200 private companies, was held at the Grand Theatre — National Opera in Warsaw, Poland, on 10 February 2007.
V Varšavi je 10. februarja 2007 v državnem gledališču in operi potekal slavnostni večer kluba podjetnikov (BCC – Business Centre Club), ki je največje in najbolj prestižno združenje podjetnikov na Poljskem, v katerem je več kot 1200 zasebnih podjetij.
The programme for this event included the presentation of nominations for the title of ‘Polish Business Leader’ to 37 businesses which had demonstrated their ability to compete on the European market, amongst others. The best 15 received golden statuettes.
Na tem večeru je 37 podjetij, ki so dokazala svojo konkurenčnost med drugim tudi na evropskem trgu, prejelo naziv „poljskega vrhunskega podjetja“, najboljših 15 pa prejelo zlate kipce.
The selection criteria used by the Business Centre Club were financial, social and environmental.
Merila, ki jih je BCC uporabil pri izboru, so bila finančna, socialna in okoljska.
At national and regional levels, Member States have to identify more clearly in their national budgets the Lisbon-related priorities.

The whole education chain needs to be scrutinised while addressing the effects of demographic changes on the economy, labour market and healthcare systems.
Natančno je treba preučiti celoten šolski sistem in oceniti učinke demografskih sprememb na gospodarstvo, trg dela in zdravstveni sistem.
At European level, timetables and deadlines for agreed priorities, a common energy policy and tackling climate change are urgent priorities.
Na evropski ravni pa je treba nujno določiti časovni razpored in roke za dogovorjene prednostne naloge, izdelati skupno energetsko politiko in se lotiti podnebnih sprememb.
For the second time, the BCC also awarded ‘social solidarity medals’ to those people who had promoted the idea of social responsibility in business.
BCC je podelil tudi „medalje za družbeno solidarnost“ osebam, ki podpirajo idejo družbene odgovornosti v podjetništvu.
This year, the guests of honour invited by Marek Goliszewski, BCC President, were José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, and Dimitris Dimitriadis, President of the EESC.
Letošnja častna gosta predsednika BCC, Mareka Goliszewskega, sta bila predsednik Evropske komisije José Manuel Barroso in predsednik EESO Dimitris Dimitriadis.
For his efforts with regard to EU enlargement and his positive attitude towards Poland, President José Manuel Barroso received a golden statuette — the BCC’s special award.
Predsednik komisije Barroso je za svoje prizadevanje v zvezi s širitvijo EU in pozitivnim odnosom do Poljske prejel posebno nagrado BCC – zlati kipec.
Mandated by the European Council of 23 and 24 March 2006 to present a summary report to the 2008 European Council, the EESC adopted at its plenary session on 15 February 2007 a resolution on the implementation of the renewed Lisbon strategy.
Resolucija zahteva predvsem krepitev učinkovitih partnerstev in nove povezave s socialnimi partnerji in civilno družbo, zlasti z nacionalnimi ekonomskosocialnimi sveti in podobnimi posvetovalnimi telesi.
Meetings held by President Dimitriadis intermediate report, part of the Committee’s initiative to increase ownership of the Lisbon strategy in the European Union, reflects the EESC’s continued commitment to contribute to a better implementation of the renewed strategy.
EESO je na zahtevo Evropskega sveta z zasedanja 23. in 24. marca 2006, da za zasedanje Evropskega sveta leta 2008 predstavi zbirno poročilo, na plenarnem zasedanju 15. februarja 2007 sprejel resolucijo o izvajanju prenovljene Investicije v znanje in inovacije lizbonske strategije.
The Committee considers the whole strategy as a dynamic process which requires constant fine- tuning within the Member States, the Council and the Commission. Effective governance at several levels should be guaranteed, subject to close monitoring by the European Commission.
V zvezi s tem bo Odbor letos poleti predstavil štiri informativna poročila o naslednjih temah: investicije v znanje in inovacije, poslovni potencial (s posebno obravnavo MSP), zaposlovanje prednostnih kategorij (mladih, žensk, starejših itd.) in evropska energetska politika.
In this respect, urgent attention needs to be paid to several issues.
Ta poročila bodo podlaga za zbirno poročilo, ki ga bo predstavil Evropskemu sveta leta 2008.
Above all, the resolution calls for a strengthening of effective partnership and new alliances with social partners and civil society, particularly with the national economic and social councils and similar consultative bodies.
Po mnenju Odbora je celotna strategija dinamičen proces, ki zahteva nenehno prilagajanje držav članic, Sveta in Evropske komisije.
The EESC urges the European Council to give its full support to this approach and invite organised civil society to be a more active player in the implementation of the Lisbon strategy agenda.
Zagotoviti je treba učinkovito upravo ne več ravneh, ki jo bo budno spremljala Evropska komisija.
In this context, the Committee will present four reports this summer, on investment in knowledge and innovation, business potential (with special attention to SMEs), employment of priority categories (youth, women, the elderly, etc.) and energy policy, as a basis for its summary report to the 2008 European Council.
V zvezi s tem se je treba nujno posvetiti nekaj vprašanjem: na nacionalni in regionalni ravni mora biti iz proračuna bolj jasno, katere so
