The 27th meeting of the EEA Council was held in Brussels on 15 May.
Sedemindvajseto zasedanje Sveta Evropskega gospodarskega prostora je bilo 15. maja v Bruslju.
The discussions centred on the situation in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Kosovo.
Razprave so bile osredotočene na položaj na Srednjem Vzhodu, v Afganistanu in na Kosovu.
The Council particularly welcomed the conclusion of the negotiations to expand the EEA Agreement to include Bulgaria and Romania as contracting parties, and of the preparations for participation by the EEA/EFTA in EU programmes with EEA relevance for the period 2007–13.
Svet je zlasti pozdravil zaključek pogajanj o širitvi Sporazuma EGP za vključitev Bolgarije in Romunije kot pogodbenic, ter priprave na udeležbo EGP/EFTA v programih Unije, ki so zanimivi za EGP za obdobje 2007–2013.

Svet je 23. julija sprejel sklep o podpisu in začasni uporabi Sporazuma o udeležbi Republike Bolgarije in Romunije v Evropskem gospodarskem prostoru ter štirih z njim povezanih sporazumov (1).
The EEA now comprises 30 member countries and forms an internal market of almost 500 million consumers.
EGP šteje odslej trideset držav članic in pomeni notranji trg z več kot 500 milijoni potrošnikov.
Since the negotiations on EEA enlargement had not, as planned, been concluded by 29 March, it was necessary to ensure that this EEA enlargement agreement came into force as quickly as possible, hence the proposal for its provisional application.
Ker se pogajanja o širitvi EGP niso končala pred 29. marcem, kakor je bilo predvideno, je bilo treba poskrbeti, da sporazum o širitvi EGP začne veljati čim prej, zato je bila predlagana začasna uporaba.
On 20 November the 28th meeting of the EEA Council was held in Brussels.
Osemindvajseto zasedanje Sveta Evropskega gospodarskega prostora je bil 20. novembra v Bruslju.

Razprave so bile osredotočene na položaj na Kosovu, Srednjem Vzhodu in v Sudanu/Darfurju.
The participants welcomed the signing of the EEA enlargement agreement in July and its provisional application, thus adding Bulgaria and Romania to the contracting parties to the EEA Agreement, and asked the member countries to conclude the ratification procedures as quickly as possible.
Udeleženci so z odobravanjem sprejeli podpis sporazuma o širitvi EGP julija in njegovo začasno uporabo, s katerim sta Bolgarija in Romunija postali pogodbenici sporazuma EGP, ter pozvali države članice, da čim prej končajo postopke ratifikacije.

Protecting and promoting common values beyond the borders of the European Union
Varstvo in spodbujanje skupnih vrednot preko meja Evropske unije
The European Union acts both at multilateral and bilateral level through the financial instruments at its disposal to promote and protect human rights and to foster democratic developments and respect for the rule of law worldwide.
Evropska unija z namenom spodbujanja in varovanja človekovih pravic ter podpiranja demokratičnega napredka in spoštovanja pravne države v svetu uporablja finančne instrumente, ki so ji na voljo na večstranski in dvostranski ravni.
Considerable efforts were made in 2007 to make the newly created United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) operational, which allowed some urgent cases of human rights violations, such as those occurring in Darfur (Sudan) and Myanmar (Burma), to be addressed.
Leta 2007 je bilo precej truda vloženega v začetek delovanja Sveta za človekove pravice, ki ga je nedavno ustanovila Organizacija Združenih narodov (OZN), kar ji je omogočilo, da je oblikovala stališče glede nekaterih perečih primerov kršitev človekovih pravic, na primer v Darfurju (Sudan) ter Mjanmaru (Burmi).
However, in its annual review of human rights in the world in 2006, adopted on 26 April, the European Parliament criticised the HRC for its inability to come to reasonable compromises on urgent situations of human rights violations.
Evropski parlament je v svojem letnem pregledu stanja človekovih pravic v svetu za leto 2006, ki ga je sprejel 26. aprila, izrazil kritiko Sveta za človekove pravice zaradi njegove nezmožnosti doseganja razumnih kompromisov glede perečih primerov kršenja človekovih pravic.
Among other major human rights problems in the world, Parliament noted the Chinese approach on human rights, the Guantanamo camps and the arms trade, particularly the trade in small arms on which, according to Parliament, there ought to be an international agreement.
Ob tej priložnosti je Parlament med poglavitnimi problemi glede človekovih pravic v svetu prav tako navedel odnos Kitajske do človekovih pravic, oporišče Guantànamo in trgovanje z orožjem, zlasti z osebnim orožjem, o katerem bi bilo po mnenju Parlamenta treba sprejeti mednarodni sporazum.
The European Union also contributed to the work of the UN General Assembly in the f i field of human rights, particularly on the setting of new standards, such as the UN
Poleg tega je Unija prispevala k delu Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov na področju človekovih pravic, zlasti glede oblikovanja novih standardov, kot sta Konvencija Združenih narodov o zaščiti vseh oseb pred prisilnim izginotjem ali Konvencija Združenih narodov o pravicah invalidov.
The latter is a human rights instrument that specifically includes a social dimension and is the first major human rights convention to which the European Community as such has become a signatory.
Slednja je instrument človekovih pravic, ki obsega izrecno socialno razsežnost in je tudi prva velika konvencija na področju človekovih pravic, ki jo je Evropska skupnost podpisala kot pravna oseba.
Human rights issues were consistently integrated in policy dialogues established under association and cooperation agreements with non-member countries, such as the Cotonou Agreement between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States, and the European neighbourhood policy.
Vključevanje človekovih pravic v strateški dialog v okviru pridružitvenih sporazumov in sporazumov o sodelovanju s tretjimi državami, kot je Sporazum iz Cotonouja med Evropsko unijo in državami AKP (Afrika, Karibi, Pacifik), ali v okviru evropske sosedske politike, je potekalo sistematično.
The Union also pursued its dedicated human rights dialogue with China and its human rights consultations with Russia, Canada, the United States, Japan, New Zealand and the candidate countries for accession to the European Union.
Unija je ravno tako nadaljevala neprekinjeni dialog o človekovih pravicah s Kitajsko in posvetovanja na tem področju z Rusijo ter Japonsko, Kanado, Novo Zelandijo, Združenimi državami Amerike in državami kandidatkami za pristop.
A significant new step was the settingup of a human rights dialogue with Uzbekistan. Moreover, in the framework of the European Union’s central Asia strategy, similar dialogues are to be established with all countries of that region.
Nov pomemben korak je bil začetek dialoga o človekovih pravicah z Uzbekistanom, še zlasti, ker je v okviru strategije Evropske unije za Osrednjo Azijo predvidena vzpostavitev podobnega dialoga z vsemi državami te regije.
This cooperation-based approach notwithstanding, the European Union did not hesitate to undertake specific demarches whenever serious human rights violations occurred throughout the world, such as in China, Iran, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Yemen.
Ne glede na ta pristop, ki je osredotočen na sodelovanje, pa Unija ni oklevala in je uvedla konkretne ukrepe, kadar koli je po svetu prišlo do resnih kršitev človekovih pravic, kot na primer v Iranu, Jemnu, na Kitajskem, v Sudanu ali na Šrilanki.
It continued to actively promote the fight against torture and the abuse of children during armed conflicts, and enhanced its support to human rights defenders worldwide.
Nadaljevala je spodbujanje boja proti mučenju otrok in nasilju nad njimi v oboroženih spopadih, prav tako pa je okrepila svojo podporo zagovornikom človekovih pravic povsem svetu.
It also continued to advocate the abolition of the death penalty, demonstrating its f i firm political commitment by its decision to introduce a resolution against the death penalty at the 62nd UN General Assembly as part of a cross-regional alliance.
Unija je poleg tega nadaljevala dejavna prizadevanja za odpravo smrtne kazni in je z odločitvijo, da na 62. zasedanju Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov v okviru zavezništva med več regijami podpre sprejetje resolucije proti smrtni kazni, pokazala svojo trdno politično zavezo.
Within the framework of the comprehensive reform of the Union’s external assistance programmes, the new European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights established in 2006 (1) entered into force on 1 January.
V okviru celovite reforme programov zunanje pomoči Unije je bil leta 2006 (1) ustanovljen nov evropski instrument za demokracijo in človekove pravice. Veljati je začel
Assistance under the instrument is primarily geared towards partnership with civil society actors as well as international organisations engaged in protecting and promoting human rights, democracy, justice and the rule of law.
Pomoč, zagotovljena v okviru tega instrumenta, je osredotočena predvsem na partnerstva z nosilci civilne družbe in mednarodnimi organizacijami, katerih dejavnosti zajemajo varovanje in uveljavljanje človekovih pravic, demokracije, sodstva in pravne države.
The new instrument also constitutes the financing basis for the European Union’s wide-ranging election observation activities, which have now become a vital tool for strengthening democratic processes in non-member countries.
Novi instrument je temelj financiranja številnih dejavnosti Evropske unije na področju opazovanja volitev, ki so postale ključni dejavniki krepitve demokratičnih procesov v tretjih državah.
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights was set up on 15 February (
