The make-up of these committees reects the political trends in Parliament as a whole and the number of MEPs they contain varies from committee to committee.
Naloga odborov, v katerih so zastopane politične usmeritve Parlamenta in ki združujejo različno število poslancev, je priprava dela za plenarna zasedanja.
They draw up ‘own-initiative reports’ in which they recommend action to be taken in a particular area by the Commission or the Member State governments.
Pripravljajo tudi„samoiniciativna poročila“, v katerih Evropski komisiji ali vladam držav članic priporočijo ukrepe na določenem področju.
■Waste ships, the CIA, mad cows: MEPs investigate
■Dotrajane ladje, CIA, nore krave: poslanci preiskujejo
If necessary, Parliament can set up temporary committees and committees of inquiry.
Če je treba, lahko Evropski parlament ustanovi začasne ali preiskovalne odbore.
For example, following the sinking of the oil tanker Prestige, MEPs set up a committee in 2003 to look into ways of improving maritime safety.
Po potopu tankerja Prestige so na primer poslanci leta 2003 ustanovili odbor, ki je obravnaval ukrepe za povečanje varnosti pomorskega prometa.
In 2006 a committee investigated the CIA’s activities in Europe following press revelations about the extraordinary rendition and illegal detention of suspected terrorists in a number of European countries by the US secret services.
Leta 2006 je posebej v ta namen ustanovljen odbor obravnaval dejavnosti ameriške obveščevalne agencije CIA v Evropi, potem ko so mediji začeli poročati, da naj bi ameriške tajne službe uporabljale evropske države za prevoz in pridržanje domnevnih teroristov.
Ten years earlier a committee of inquiry had been asked to check whether the Commission and the governments had properly handled the ‘mad cow disease’epidemic. epidemic.
Pred desetimi leti pa je preiskovalni odbor preverjal, ali so Evropska komisija in vlade ustrezno ukrepale med epidemijo bolezni„norih krav“.
The plenary session is the highlight of the parliamentary month.
Plenarno zasedanje je vrhunec parlamentarnega dela.Vsi evropski poslanci se sestanejo v glavni sejni dvorani v Strasbourgu in na dodatnih krajših zasedanjih v Bruslju.
This is when all the MEPs assemble in the chamber in Strasbourg or, for additional, shorter sessions, in Brussels.
Ponovno razpravljajo o poročilih, sprejetih v odborih, jih spreminjajo in nato o njih glasujejo.
The reports adopted in committee are once again debated, amended and put to the vote to set out Parliament’s oficial position.
Ta poročila torej izražajo uradno stališče Evropskega parlamenta.
Other than reports, MEPs adopt resolutions and directly question Commission or Council representatives on topical issues.
Poleg poročil evropski poslanci sprejemajo tudi resolucije ali postavljajo vprašanja o aktualnih temah neposredno predstavnikom Evropske komisije ali Sveta.
Plenary sessions may be attended by heads of state and eminent persons from all over the world.
Sprejemajo obiske voditeljev držav in osebnosti z vsega sveta.
MEPs form groups on the basis of political affiliation rather than nationality.
Evropski poslanci se ne združujejo glede na narodno pripadnost, temveč glede na politično prepričanje.
A minimum number of MEPs from at least one fth of the Member States is required to form a political group, a requirement which does not prevent all political tendencies from being represented, from the most fervent advocates of European

Turquoise weeks: MEPs in their constituencies or on mission
Turkizni tedni: poslanci v svojem okrožju ali na službenem potovanju
A number of weeks a year are set aside for MEPs to return to their constituencies to deal with local matters and meet their electorate or to travel on mission to other parts of the world.
Nekaj tednov na leto je rezerviranih za to, da gredo evropski poslanci v svoje okrožje, tam opravljajo svoje lokalne funkcije, se srečajo s svojimi volilci v njihovem domačem kraju ali pa gredo na službeno potovanje v druge države sveta.
During these weeks no meetings are planned in Brussels or Strasbourg.
V Strasbourgu ali Bruslju takrat ni načrtovanih sej.
All Parliament’s plenary sittings and meetings are fully multiingual: members can speak in any oficial language of the EU, and everything they say is simultaneously interpreted.
Parlament ima na voljo večjezične storitve za vsa plenarna zasedanja in druge seje, med katerimi se lahko poslanci izražajo v kateremkoli uradnem jeziku EU.
Who does what in the European Parliament?
Kdo dela kaj v Evropskem parlamentu?
Elected by the MEPs to serve a two-and-a-half-year term, the President of the European Parliament plays a key role: he or she directs Parliament’s activities, chairs plenary sittings and signs the budget and laws adopted together with the Council.
Predsednik Evropskega parlamenta, ki ga evropski poslanci izvolijo za dve leti in pol, ima ključno vlogo: vodi dejavnosti Parlamenta, predseduje plenarnim zasedanjem ter podpiše proračun in akte, ki so bili sprejeti skupaj s Svetom.
The President represents Parliament in the outside world and in its relations with the other EU institutions.
Predsednik zastopa Parlament v javnosti in v njegovih odnosih z drugimi institucijami Evropske unije.
Parliament elects 14 Vice-Presidents, each with a specific area of responsibility.
Parlament imenuje tudi 14 podpredsednikov, od katerih ima vsak posebne pristojnosti.
The Conference of Presidents is made up of the chairmen of the political groups and the President of the European Parliament. It organises and schedules the work of Parliament, including the calendar of and agendas for plenary sessions and the composition of committees and delegations.
Konferenca predsednikov, ki jo poleg predsednika Evropskega parlamenta sestavljajo predsedniki vseh političnih skupin, organizira in načrtuje delo Parlamenta, na primer koledar in dnevne rede plenarnih zasedanj ali sestavo odborov in delegacij.
The Bureau is the body responsible for dealing with Parliament’s administrative, stafing and organisational matters.
Predsedstvo je organ, ki skrbi za urejanje upravnih, kadrovskih in organizacijskih vprašanj v Parlamentu.
It comprises the President of Parliament, the Vice-Presidents and the Quaestors who are elected by Parliament.
Sestavljajo ga predsednik Evropskega parlamenta, podpredsedniki in kvestorji, ki jih izvoli Parlament.
The Bureau is responsible for Parliament’s budget.
Predsedstvo je pristojno tudi za proračun Parlamenta.
The Secretariat has the task of coordinating the legislative work and organising plenary sittings and other meetings.
Naloga generalnega sekretariata je usklajevati zakonodajno delo in organizirati plenarna zasedanja ter druge seje.
It consists of almost 5 000 people — a third of whom are translators and interpreters — who work in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg and in the information ofices.
Generalni sekretariat šteje skoraj pet tisoč ljudi – od tega jih je ena tretjina prevajalcev in tolmačev – ki delajo v Bruslju, Luksemburgu, Strasbourgu in informacijskih pisarnah.
Adding the sta of the political groups, about 6 000 people altogether keep Parliament’s wheels turning.
Če prištejemo še zaposlene pri političnih skupinah, za parlamentarni „stroj“ skrbi skupaj približno šest tisoč ljudi.

Information oces providing a service to European citizens
Informacijske pisarne za državljane
The European Parliament has an information oce in all EU capitals and in a number of other big cities.
V vseh prestolnicah in nekaterih velikih mestih Evropske unije delujejo informacijske pisarne Evropskega parlamenta.
They serve as a point of contact between European citizens and the institution which represents them.
Njihova naloga je graditi most med državljani in institucijo, ki jih zastopa.
The information oces distribute publications and other material (DVDs, CD-ROMs, etc.) and run information campaigns on various European issues. They organise visits to Parliament’s places of work, particularly for schoolchildren, university students and other visitor groups.
Informacijske pisarne pripravljajo v skladu s komunikacijsko strategijo EU različne akcije, s katerimi obveščajo o vlogi in aktivnostih Evropskega parlamenta.Dejavnosti, pogosto v sodelovanju s Predstavništvom Evropske komisije, so oblikovane glede na ciljne javnosti, npr. mlade.
The information oces are behind a series of forums at which MEPs, local authorities, individual citizens and representatives of various occupations debate the major issues concerning the future of Europe.
Informacijske pisarne denimo pripravljajo javne forume na katerih evropski poslanci, lokalne oblasti, državljani ter predstavniki različnih družbenih skupin odprto razpravljajo o vprašanjih, povezanih s prihodnostjo Evrope.
They organise meetings between MEPs and national authorities, the press and the public.
Predstavljajo vez z mediji in oblastmi tudi ob obiskih parlamentarnih delovnih teles in predsednika.
■Debates intended to bring citizens closer to the European Union
■Razprave o približanju Evropske unije državljanom
In the context of the ‘period of reflection’ following the French and Dutch rejections of the draft European Constitution, the European Parliament recommended a series of initiatives to help bridge the gap between the EU institutions and the public.
V„obdobju za razmislek“, ki je sledilo negativnemu izidu referendumov o osnutku evropske ustave v Franciji in na Nizozemskem, je Evropski parlament prevzel vrsto pobud za premostitev prepada med institucijami EU in javnim mnenjem.
As part of that process, MEPs called for a number of conferences and meetings to be held at local and national levels — called citizens’ forums and parliamentary forums — as a way of moving discussion on the future of the EU forward by focusing on subjects of common interest.
Tako so poslanci predlagali pripravo konferenc in srečanj na nacionalni in lokalni ravni – državljanske in parlamentarne forume – da bi nadaljevali pogovore o prihodnosti Evrope z osredotočenjem razprave na teme v skupnem interesu.
The names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of every MEP can be found under their MEP pro le in the ‘Your MEPs’ menu on Parliament’s website.
Imena, naslovi, telefonske številke in elektronski naslovi vseh evropskih poslancev so zbrani v predstavitvah na spletnem mestu Parlamenta, v meniju„Poslanci EP“.
There are also details of their curriculum vitae, constituency and political group, as well as the positions they hold and the work they have performed in Parliament.
Tam najdete tudi njihove življenjepise, volilna okrožja in politične skupine, pa tudi njihove funkcije in naloge, ki jih opravljajo v Parlamentu.

Co-decision: how it works
■Kako poteka soodločanje?
Co-decision currently applies to some two thirds of all EU laws, primarily in such areas as the environment, transport, consumer protection, the internal market, free movement of workers and cultural, educational and health programmes.
Postopek soodločanja se zdaj uporablja pri sprejemanju dveh tretjin evropskih besedil, predvsem s področij okolja, prometa, varstva potrošnikov, notranjega trga, prostega gibanja delavcev ter izobraževalnih, zdravstvenih in kulturnih programov.
The forthcoming institutional reform will extend it to other areas.
Institucionalna reforma naj bi ga razširila še na druge politike.
The Commission submits a legislative proposal to Parliament and the Council.
Evropska komisija Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu predloži zakonodajni predlog.
At first reading (the first stage of deliberation on the text by MEPs) Parliament adopts or does not adopt amendments (changes) to the Commission proposal.
Na prvi obravnavi (poslanci takrat besedilo preučijo prvič) Evropski parlament sprejme (ali pa ne) predloge sprememb k predlogu Evropske komisije.
If Parliament does not adopt amendments and if the Council accepts the Commission proposal, the legislative proposal is adopted.
Če ničesar ne spremeni in če nato tudi Svet soglaša z zakonodajnim predlogom, je ta sprejet.
It is also adopted if the Council accepts Parliament’s amendments.
Enako velja v primeru, ko se Svet strinja s spremembami Parlamenta.
The new law can then enter into force.
Nov predpis tako lahko začne veljati.
If the Council does not approve all the MEPs’amendments, it proposes an alternative text, which is known as the common position of the Member States.
Če se Svet ne strinja z vsemi predlogi sprememb poslancev, Evropskemu parlamentu predloži svoj predlog besedila: to je skupno stališče držav članic.
The proposal is then returned to Parliament for a second reading.
Parlament ponovno obravnava zadevo na drugi obravnavi.
The legislative process is completed if the MEPs approve or reject the Council’s common position.
Zakonodajni postopek se konča, če poslanci potrdijo stališče Sveta ali če zavrnejo skupno stališče.
If, on the other hand, MEPs propose amendments to the Common Position, consensus must be reached in a third reading.
Če poslanci v nasprotnem primeru predlagajo spremembe k skupnemu stališču, je treba doseči soglasje na tretji obravnavi.
This task is given to a special committee, known as a Conciliation Committee, composed of representatives of the two institutions.
Ta naloga je zaupana posebnemu spravnemu odboru, ki združuje predstavnike obeh institucij. Evropska komisija prav tako sodeluje v celotnem postopku.
The Commission is involved throughout the procedure.
Predlog postane predpis, če je soglasje doseženo.
If agreement is reached the draft can become law, if not then the proposal falls.
Če ni, predpis ne začne veljati.

The other legislative procedures
Drugi zakonodajni postopki
In the consultation procedure Parliament is simply asked for its opinion on proposed legislation before it is adopted by the Council.
V postopku posvetovanja je Evropski parlament pozvan, da poda mnenje o zakonodajnem predlogu, preden ga Svet sprejme.
This is the procedure applied in areas such as competition, and taxation and for revision of the treaties.
Ta postopek se uporablja zlasti na področjih, kot so konkurenca in davčna vprašanja, ter za spremembe pogodb.
In certain areas of legislation the European Parliament can be asked to give its assent.
Na nekaterih zakonodajnih področjih se lahko zahteva privolitev Evropskega parlamenta.
This procedure, applied in areas including the ratification of certain agreements negotiated by the EU, such as enlargements, gives the European Parliament a right of veto.
To je pravica veta, ki jo Parlament lahko uporabi zlasti na področju ratifikacije nekaterih sporazumov, o katerih se je pogajala Evropska unija. To se nanaša na primer na širitev EU.
■How the EU budget is adopted
■Kako se sprejme proračun Evropske unije?
Each spring the Commission submits a preliminary draft budget for the following year.
Vsako leto spomladi Evropska komisija predloži predhodni predlog proračuna za naslednje leto.
An initial vote is taken by the Council, representing the Member States, on this preliminary draft in the summer, and Parliament has its first reading in early autumn.
Svet ministrov, ki predstavlja države članice, poleti opravi prvo glasovanje o predhodnem predlogu, potem pa je na vrsti Evropski parlament, da izrazi mnenje na prvi obravnavi na začetku jeseni.
Thereafter a second reading is held in the Council and then in Parliament to arrive at an agreement between the representatives of the governments and the citizens.
Nato pride do druge obravnave v Svetu in Parlamentu, da se najde soglasje med predstavniki vlad in državljanov.
At present the budget distinguishes between‘compulsory expenditure’, which is directly based on the treaties and Community laws and mainly relates to agricultural spending, and‘non-compulsory expenditure’, which covers all other spending (regional development, social policy, research, culture, training, the environment, external action, etc.).
V proračunu zdaj razlikujemo med „obveznimi odhodki“, ki izhajajo neposredno iz pogodb in uredb Skupnosti ter se v glavnem nanašajo na odhodke za kmetijstvo, ter med „neobveznimi odhodki“, ki zajemajo vse preostale odhodke (za regionalni razvoj, socialno politiko, raziskave, kulturo, izobraževanje, okolje, zunanjo politiko ...).
MEPs have the nal say on all non-compulsory expenditure, and the Council on all compulsory expenditure.
Poslanci imajo zadnjo besedo pri vseh neobveznih odhodkih, Svet pa pri obveznih odhodkih.
Parliament has the power to reject the budget if it believes that it does not meet the needs of the Union.
Parlament lahko tudi zavrne proračun, če oceni, da ne ustreza potrebam Unije.
In that case the entire budget procedure has to start again.
V tem primeru je treba proračunski postopek začeti znova.
