TITLE I	2. Is iad an Conradh seo agus an Conradh ar an Aontas Eorpach na Conarthaí ar a bhfuil an tAontas fothaithe. Beidh an stádas dlí céanna ag an dá Chonradh seo, dá ngairtear "na Conarthaí".
CATEGORIES AND AREAS OF UNION COMPETENCE	TEIDEAL I
Article 2	CATAGÓIRÍ AGUS RÉIMSÍ INNIÚLACHTA AN AONTAIS
1. When the Treaties confer on the Union exclusive competence in a specific area, only the Union may legislate and adopt legally binding acts, the Member States being able to do so themselves only if so empowered by the Union or for the implementation of Union acts.	Airteagal 2
2. When the Treaties confer on the Union a competence shared with the Member States in a specific area, the Union and the Member States may legislate and adopt legally binding acts in that area. The Member States shall exercise their competence to the extent that the Union has not exercised its competence. The Member States shall again exercise their competence to the extent that the Union has decided to cease exercising its competence.	1. Nuair a dhéanfar inniúlacht eisiach i réimse sonrach a thabhairt don Aontas leis na Conarthaí, is é an tAontas amháin a fhéadfaidh reachtú agus gníomhartha a ghlacadh a bheidh ceangailteach ó thaobh dlí, gan na Ballstáit a bheith in ann gníomhú amhlaidh ach amháin má chumhachtaíonn an tAontas amhlaidh iad nó chun gníomhartha an Aontais a chur chun feidhme.
3. The Member States shall coordinate their economic and employment policies within arrangements as determined by this Treaty, which the Union shall have competence to provide.	2. Nuair a dhéanfar inniúlacht arna roinnt leis na Ballstáit i réimse sonrach a thabhairt don Aontas leis na Conarthaí, féadfaidh an tAontas agus na Ballstáit reachtú agus gníomhartha a ghlacadh a bheidh ceangailteach ó thaobh dlí sa réimse sin. Feidhmeoidh na Ballstáit a n-inniúlacht a mhéid nach bhfuil inniúlacht an Aontais feidhmithe aige. Feidhmeoidh na Ballstáit a n-inniúlacht athuair a mhéad gur chinn an tAontas scor dá feidhmiú.
4. The Union shall have competence, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on European Union, to define and implement a common foreign and security policy, including the progressive framing of a common defence policy.	3.

In certain areas and under the conditions laid down in the Treaties, the Union shall have competence to carry out actions to support, coordinate or supplement the actions of the Member States, without thereby superseding their competence in these areas.	4.

Legally binding acts of the Union adopted on the basis of the provisions of the Treaties relating to these areas shall not entail harmonisation of Member States' laws or regulations.	5. I réimsí áirithe agus faoi na coinníollacha atá leagtha síos sna Conarthaí, beidh inniúlacht ag an Aontas gníomhaíochtaí a chur i gcrích chun tacú le gníomhaíochtaí na mBallstát, iad a chomhordú nó a fhorlíonadh gan a inniúlacht féin a chur in ionad a n-inniúlachta siúd sna réimsí sin dá thoradh sin.
6. The scope of and arrangements for exercising the Union's competences shall be determined by the provisions of the Treaties relating to each area.	Ní bheidh comhchuibhiú ar dhlíthe ná ar rialacháin na mBallstát mar thoradh ar ghníomhartha an Aontais atá ceangailteach ó thaobh dlí arna nglacadh ar bhonn na bhforálacha sna Conarthaí a bhaineann leis na réimsí sin.

Article 4	2.

Such prohibitions or restrictions shall not, however, constitute a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States.	(sean-Airteagal 30 CCE)
Article 37	Ní fhágann forálacha Airteagail 34 agus 35 go mbeidh bac ar thoirmisc nó srianta le hallmhairí nó onnmhairí nó earraí faoi bhealach, más gá a leithéid ar mhaithe leis an moráltacht phoiblí, leis an mbeartas poiblí nó le slándáil an phobail; chun sláinte agus saol daoine nó ainmhithe nó plandaí a chosaint; chun seoda náisiúnta atá luachmhar ó thaobh na healaíne, na staire nó na seandálaíochta a chosaint; nó chun maoin tionscail agus tráchtála a chosaint.

(a) the common organisation offers Member States which are opposed to this measure and which have an organisation of their own for the production in question equivalent safeguards for the employment and standard of living of the producers concerned, account being taken of the adjustments that will be possible and the specialisation that will be needed with the passage of time;	4. I gcomhréir le mír 2, féadfar an chomheagraíocht dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 40(1) a chur in ionad na n-eagraíochtaí náisiúnta margaíochta, más rud é:

(ex Article 38 TEC)	Airteagal 44
Where in a Member State a product is subject to a national market organisation or to internal rules having equivalent effect which affect the competitive position of similar production in another Member State, a countervailing charge shall be applied by Member States to imports of this product coming from the Member State where such organisation or rules exist, unless that State applies a countervailing charge on export.	(sean-Airteagal 38 CCE)
The Commission shall fix the amount of these charges at the level required to redress the balance; it may also authorise other measures, the conditions and details of which it shall determine.	Nuair a dhéantar i mBallstát táirge a thabhairt faoi eagraíocht náisiúnta margaíochta nó faoi rialacha inmheánacha comhéifeachta a imríonn ar staid iomaíochta a shamhail de tháirgeadh i mBallstát eile, cuirfidh na Ballstáit muirear frithchúitimh ar an táirge sin, arna allmhairiú ón mBallstát ina bhfuil an eagraíocht nó na rialacha sin, mura rud é go gcuireann an Stát sin muirear cúiteach chun feidhme ar onnmhairí.
TITLE IV	Socróidh an Coimisiún méid na muirear sin ar an leibhéal is gá chun an chothromaíocht a shlánú; féadfaidh sé freisin bearta eile a údarú a gcinnfidh sé a gcoinníollacha agus a sonraí.

JUDICIAL COOPERATION IN CRIMINAL MATTERS	CAIBIDIL 4
Article 82	COMHAR BREITHIÚNACH IN ÁBHAIR CHOIRIÚLA
(ex Article 31 TEU)	Airteagal 82
1. Judicial cooperation in criminal matters in the Union shall be based on the principle of mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions and shall include the approximation of the laws and regulations of the Member States in the areas referred to in paragraph 2 and in Article 83.	(sean-Airteagal 31 CAE)
The European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, shall adopt measures to:	1. Déanfar an comhar breithiúnach in ábhair choiriúla san Aontas a bhunú ar phrionsabal an aitheantais fhrithpháirtigh do bhreithiúnais agus do chinntí agus cuimseoidh an comhar breithiúnach comhfhogasú dhlíthe agus rialacháin na mBallstát sna réimsí dá dtagraítear i mír 2 agus in Airteagal 83.
(a) lay down rules and procedures for ensuring recognition throughout the Union of all forms of judgments and judicial decisions;	Glacfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, bearta d'fhonn:
(b) prevent and settle conflicts of jurisdiction between Member States;	(a) rialacha agus nósanna imeachta a leagan síos chun a áirithiú go dtabharfar aitheantas ar fud an Aontais do bhreithiúnais agus do chinntí breithiúnacha de gach cineál;
(c) support the training of the judiciary and judicial staff;	(b) easaontachtaí dlínse idir Bhallstáit a chosc agus a shocrú;
(d) facilitate cooperation between judicial or equivalent authorities of the Member States in relation to proceedings in criminal matters and the enforcement of decisions.	(c) tacú le hoiliúint na breithiúnachta agus na foirne breithiúnaí;
2. To the extent necessary to facilitate mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions and police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters having a cross-border dimension, the European Parliament and the Council may, by means of directives adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, establish minimum rules. Such rules shall take into account the differences between the legal traditions and systems of the Member States.	(d) comhar a éascú idir údaráis bhreithiúnacha nó údaráis choibhéiseacha na mBallstát i ndáil le himeachtaí in ábhair choiriúla agus le breitheanna a fhorfheidhmiú.
They shall concern:	2. A mhéid is gá chun aitheantas frithpháirteach do bhreithiúnais agus do chinntí breithiúnacha a éascú, chomh maith leis an gcomhar póilíneachta agus breithiúnach in ábhair choiriúla a bhfuil gné thrasteorann ag baint leo, féadfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle rialacha íosta a bhunú trí bhíthin treoracha a ghlacfar i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach. Cuirfidh na rialacha íosta sin san áireamh na difríochtaí idir thraidisiúin dlí agus idir chórais dlí na mBallstát.
(a) mutual admissibility of evidence between Member States;	Bainfidh siad leis na nithe seo a leanas:
(b) the rights of individuals in criminal procedure;	(a) inghlacthacht fhrithpháirteach fianaise idir Bhallstáit;
(c) the rights of victims of crime;	(b) cearta daoine aonair sa nós imeachta coiriúil;
(d) any other specific aspects of criminal procedure which the Council has identified in advance by a decision; for the adoption of such a decision, the Council shall act unanimously after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.	(c) cearta íospartaigh na coireachta;
Adoption of the minimum rules referred to in this paragraph shall not prevent Member States from maintaining or introducing a higher level of protection for individuals.	(d) aon sainghnéithe eile den nós imeachta coiriúil a bheidh sainaitheanta roimh ré ag an gComhairle le cinneadh; chun an cinneadh sin a ghlacadh, gníomhóidh an Chomhairle d'aon toil tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa.
3. Where a member of the Council considers that a draft directive as referred to in paragraph 2 would affect fundamental aspects of its criminal justice system, it may request that the draft directive be referred to the European Council. In that case, the ordinary legislative procedure shall be suspended. After discussion, and in case of a consensus, the European Council shall, within four months of this suspension, refer the draft back to the Council, which shall terminate the suspension of the ordinary legislative procedure.	Ní choiscfidh glacadh na rialacha íosta sin dá dtagraítear sa mhír seo ar na Ballstáit leibhéal níos airde cosanta do dhaoine aonair a choimeád ar bun ná a thabhairt isteach.
Within the same timeframe, in case of disagreement, and if at least nine Member States wish to establish enhanced cooperation on the basis of the draft directive concerned, they shall notify the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission accordingly. In such a case, the authorisation to proceed with enhanced cooperation referred to in Article 20(2) of the Treaty on European Union and Article 329(1) of this Treaty shall be deemed to be granted and the provisions on enhanced cooperation shall apply.	3. Má mheasann comhalta den Chomhairle go ndéanfadh dréacht-treoir dá dtagraítear i mír 2 difear do ghnéithe bunúsacha dá chóras dlí coiriúil, féadfaidh sé a iarraidh go ndéanfar an dréacht-treoir a tharchur chuig an gComhairle Eorpach. Sa chás sin, déanfar an gnáthnós imeachta reachtach a fhionraí. Tar éis an cheist a phlé, agus i gcás comhthola, déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, laistigh de cheithre mhí ón bhfionraí sin, an dréacht a tharchur ar ais chuig an gComhairle, rud a chuirfidh deireadh le fionraí an ghnáthnós imeachta reachtaigh.
Article 83	Laistigh den tréimhse chéanna, i gcás easaontais, agus más mian le naoi mBallstát ar a laghad comhar feabhsaithe a bhunú ar bhonn na dréacht-treorach atá i dtrácht, cuirfidh siad Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chomhairle agus an Coimisiún ar an eolas. Sa chás sin, measfar gur tugadh an t-údarú chun dul ar aghaidh leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 20(2) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus in Airteagal 329(1) den Chonradh seo agus beidh feidhm ag na forálacha maidir leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe.
(ex Article 31 TEU)	Airteagal 83
1. The European Parliament and the Council may, by means of directives adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, establish minimum rules concerning the definition of criminal offences and sanctions in the areas of particularly serious crime with a cross-border dimension resulting from the nature or impact of such offences or from a special need to combat them on a common basis.	(sean-Airteagal 31 CAE)
These areas of crime are the following: terrorism, trafficking in human beings and sexual exploitation of women and children, illicit drug trafficking, illicit arms trafficking, money laundering, corruption, counterfeiting of means of payment, computer crime and organised crime.	1. Féadfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach trí bhíthin treoracha, rialacha íosta a bhunú maidir le cionta coiriúla agus pionóis a shainiú i réimsí na coireachta fíorthromchúisí a bhfuil gné thrasteorann ag baint leo mar gheall ar nádúr na gcionta sin nó mar gheall ar an tionchar a bhíonn acu nó toisc go bhfuil gá faoi leith ann iad a chomhrac ar bhonn comhchoiteann.
On the basis of developments in crime, the Council may adopt a decision identifying other areas of crime that meet the criteria specified in this paragraph. It shall act unanimously after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.	Is iad seo a leanas na réimsí coireachta: an sceimhlitheoireacht, an gháinneáil ar dhaoine agus an teacht i dtír gnéasach ar mhná agus ar leanaí, an gháinneáil neamhdhleathach ar dhrugaí, an gháinneáil aindleathach ar airm, sciúradh airgid, an éillitheacht, góchumadh modhanna íocaíochta, coireacht ríomhairí agus an choireacht eagraithe.
2. If the approximation of criminal laws and regulations of the Member States proves essential to ensure the effective implementation of a Union policy in an area which has been subject to harmonisation measures, directives may establish minimum rules with regard to the definition of criminal offences and sanctions in the area concerned. Such directives shall be adopted by the same ordinary or special legislative procedure as was followed for the adoption of the harmonisation measures in question, without prejudice to Article 76.	De réir mar a tharlaíonn forbairtí sa choireacht, féadfaidh an Chomhairle cinneadh a ghlacadh lena sainaithneofar réimsí eile coireachta a chomhallann na critéir a shonraítear sa mhír seo. Gníomhóidh sí d'aon toil tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Parlaimint na hEorpa.
3. Where a member of the Council considers that a draft directive as referred to in paragraph 1 or 2 would affect fundamental aspects of its criminal justice system, it may request that the draft directive be referred to the European Council. In that case, the ordinary legislative procedure shall be suspended. After discussion, and in case of a consensus, the European Council shall, within four months of this suspension, refer the draft back to the Council, which shall terminate the suspension of the ordinary legislative procedure.	2. Más léir go bhfuil sé sár-riachtanach dlíthe coiriúla agus rialacháin choiriúla na mBallstát a chomhfhogasú chun beartas de chuid an Aontais a chur chun feidhme go héifeachtúil i réimse ina ndearnadh bearta um chomhchuibhiú, féadfar rialacha íosta a bhunú le treoracha maidir le cionta coiriúla agus pionóis a shainiú sa réimse lena mbaineann. Glacfar na treoracha sin i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach céanna nó leis an nós imeachta reachtach speisialta céanna a leanadh agus na bearta um comhchuibhiú i dtrácht á nglacadh, gan dochar d'Airteagal 76.
Within the same timeframe, in case of disagreement, and if at least nine Member States wish to establish enhanced cooperation on the basis of the draft directive concerned, they shall notify the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission accordingly. In such a case, the authorisation to proceed with enhanced cooperation referred to in Article 20(2) of the Treaty on European Union and Article 329(1) of this Treaty shall be deemed to be granted and the provisions on enhanced cooperation shall apply.	3. Má mheasann comhalta den Chomhairle go ndéanfadh dréacht-treoir dá dtagraítear i mír 1 nó i mír 2 difear do ghnéithe bunúsacha dá chóras dlí coiriúil, féadfaidh sé a iarraidh go ndéanfar an dréacht-treoir a tharchur chuig an gComhairle Eorpach. Sa chás sin, déanfar an gnáthnós imeachta reachtach a fhionraí. Tar éis an cheist a phlé, agus i gcás comhthola, déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, laistigh de cheithre mhí ón bhfionraí sin, an dréacht a tharchur ar ais chuig an gComhairle, rud a chuirfidh deireadh le fionraí an ghnáthnós imeachta reachtaigh.
Article 84	Laistigh den tréimhse chéanna, i gcás easaontais, agus más mian le naoi mBallstát ar a laghad comhar feabhsaithe a bhunú ar bhonn na dréacht-treorach atá i dtrácht, cuirfidh siad Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chomhairle agus an Coimisiún ar an eolas. Sa chás sin, measfar gur tugadh an t-údarú chun dul ar aghaidh leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 20(2) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus in Airteagal 329(1) den Chonradh seo agus beidh feidhm ag na forálacha maidir leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe.
The European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, may establish measures to promote and support the action of Member States in the field of crime prevention, excluding any harmonisation of the laws and regulations of the Member States.	Airteagal 84
Article 85	Féadfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, bearta a bhunú chun dreasachtaí agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do ghníomhaíocht na mBallstát maidir le cosc na coireachta a chur chun cinn agus tacú léi, gan aon chomhchuibhiú a dhéanamh ar dhlíthe agus ar rialacháin na mBallstát.
(ex Article 31 TEU)	Airteagal 85
1. Eurojust's mission shall be to support and strengthen coordination and cooperation between national investigating and prosecuting authorities in relation to serious crime affecting two or more Member States or requiring a prosecution on common bases, on the basis of operations conducted and information supplied by the Member States' authorities and by Europol.	(sean-Airteagal 31 CAE)
In this context, the European Parliament and the Council, by means of regulations adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, shall determine Eurojust's structure, operation, field of action and tasks. These tasks may include:	1. Beidh de chúram ar Eurojust tacú agus treisiú leis an gcomhordú agus leis an gcomhar idir na húdaráis náisiúnta imscrúdúcháin agus ionchúisimh i ndáil le coireacht thromchúiseach a dhéanann difear do dhá Bhallstát nó níos mó nó a éilíonn ionchúiseamh ar bhoinn chomhchoiteanna, ar bhonn na n-oibríochtaí arna seoladh agus ar bhonn na faisnéise arna tabhairt ag údaráis na mBallstát agus ag Europol.
(a) the initiation of criminal investigations, as well as proposing the initiation of prosecutions conducted by competent national authorities, particularly those relating to offences against the financial interests of the Union;	Sa chomhthéacs sin, déanfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, trí bhíthin rialachán arna nglacadh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, struchtúr, oibriú, réimse gníomhaíochta agus cúraimí Eurojust a chinneadh. Féadfaidh a bheith san áireamh ar na cúraimí sin:
(b) the coordination of investigations and prosecutions referred to in point (a);	(a) imscrúduithe coiriúla a thosú agus a bheartú go dtosófaí ar ionchúisimh arna seoladh ag údaráis náisiúnta inniúla, go háirithe na hionchúisimh a bhaineann le cionta in aghaidh leasanna airgeadais an Aontais;
(c) the strengthening of judicial cooperation, including by resolution of conflicts of jurisdiction and by close cooperation with the European Judicial Network.	(b) na himscrúduithe coiriúla agus na hionchúisimh choiriúla dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a) a chomhordú;
These regulations shall also determine arrangements for involving the European Parliament and national Parliaments in the evaluation of Eurojust's activities.	(c) an comhar breithiúnach a neartú, lena n-áirítear trí easaontachtaí dlínse a shocrú agus trí dhlúthchomhar leis an nGréasán Breithiúnach Eorpach.
2. In the prosecutions referred to in paragraph 1, and without prejudice to Article 86, formal acts of judicial procedure shall be carried out by the competent national officials.	Cinnfear leis na rialacháin sin freisin socruithe maidir le baint a bheith ag Parlaimint na hEorpa agus ag na Parlaimintí náisiúnta leis an meastóireacht ar ghníomhaíochtaí Eurojust.
Article 86	2. Faoi chuimsiú na n-ionchúiseamh dá dtagraítear i mír 1, agus gan dochar d'Airteagal 86, is iad na hoifigigh náisiúnta inniúla a dhéanfaidh gníomhartha foirmiúla nós imeachta bhreithiúnaigh a chur i gcrích.
1. In order to combat crimes affecting the financial interests of the Union, the Council, by means of regulations adopted in accordance with a special legislative procedure, may establish a European Public Prosecutor's Office from Eurojust. The Council shall act unanimously after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.	Airteagal 86
In the absence of unanimity in the Council, a group of at least nine Member States may request that the draft regulation be referred to the European Council. In that case, the procedure in the Council shall be suspended. After discussion, and in case of a consensus, the European Council shall, within four months of this suspension, refer the draft back to the Council for adoption.	1. D'fhonn coireanna a dhéanann difear do leasanna airgeadais an Aontais a chomhrac, féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí bhíthin rialachán arna nglacadh i gcomhréir le nós imeachta reachtach speisialta, Oifig an Ionchúisitheora Phoiblí Eorpaigh a chur ar bun ó Eurojust. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle d'aon toil tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa.
Within the same timeframe, in case of disagreement, and if at least nine Member States wish to establish enhanced cooperation on the basis of the draft regulation concerned, they shall notify the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission accordingly. In such a case, the authorisation to proceed with enhanced cooperation referred to in Article 20(2) of the Treaty on European Union and Article 329(1) of this Treaty shall be deemed to be granted and the provisions on enhanced cooperation shall apply.	Cheal aontoilíochta, féadfaidh grúpa a bheidh comhdhéanta de naoi mBallstát ar a laghad a iarraidh go ndéanfar an dréachtrialachán a tharchur chuig an gComhairle Eorpach. Sa chás sin, déanfar an nós imeachta sa Chomhairle a chur ar fionraí. Tar éis an cheist a phlé, agus i gcás comhthola, laistigh de cheithre mhí ón bhfionraí sin, déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach an dréacht a tharchur ar ais chuig an gComhairle chun go nglacfaí é.
2. The European Public Prosecutor's Office shall be responsible for investigating, prosecuting and bringing to judgment, where appropriate in liaison with Europol, the perpetrators of, and accomplices in, offences against the Union's financial interests, as determined by the regulation provided for in paragraph 1. It shall exercise the functions of prosecutor in the competent courts of the Member States in relation to such offences.	Laistigh den tréimhse chéanna, i gcás easaontais, agus más mian le naoi mBallstát ar a laghad comhar feabhsaithe a bhunú ar bhonn na dréacht-treorach atá i dtrácht, cuirfidh siad Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chomhairle agus an Coimisiún ar an eolas. Sa chás sin, measfar gur tugadh an t-údarú chun dul ar aghaidh leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 20(2) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus in Airteagal 329(1) den Chonradh seo agus beidh feidhm ag na forálacha maidir leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe.
3. The regulations referred to in paragraph 1 shall determine the general rules applicable to the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the conditions governing the performance of its functions, the rules of procedure applicable to its activities, as well as those governing the admissibility of evidence, and the rules applicable to the judicial review of procedural measures taken by it in the performance of its functions.	2. Beidh Oifig an Ionchúisitheora Phoiblí Eorpaigh freagrach, i gcuibhreann le Europol nuair is iomchuí, as lucht déanta cionta a dhéanann difear do leasanna airgeadais an Aontais, mar atá siad sainithe leis an rialachán dá bhforáiltear i mír 1, agus as a gcomhchoirithe sna coireanna sin, a imscrúdú, a ionchúiseamh agus a thabhairt chun breithiúnais. Feidhmeoidh sí feidhmeanna ionchúisitheora i gcúirteanna inniúla na mBallstát i ndáil leis na cionta sin.
4. The European Council may, at the same time or subsequently, adopt a decision amending paragraph 1 in order to extend the powers of the European Public Prosecutor's Office to include serious crime having a cross-border dimension and amending accordingly paragraph 2 as regards the perpetrators of, and accomplices in, serious crimes affecting more than one Member State. The European Council shall act unanimously after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament and after consulting the Commission.	3. Cinnfear leis an rialachán dá dtagraítear i mír 1 na rialacha ginearálta a bheidh infheidhme maidir le hOifig an Ionchúisitheora Phoiblí Eorpaigh, na coinníollacha lena rialófar comhlíonadh a feidhmeanna, na rialacha nós imeachta a bheidh infheidhme maidir lena gníomhaíochtaí chomh maith leis na rialacha lena rialófar inghlacthacht fianaise agus na rialacha a bheidh infheidhme maidir le hathbhreithiú breithiúnach ar bhearta nós imeachta arna nglacadh aici i gcomhlíonadh a feidhmeanna.
CHAPTER 5	4. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, san am céanna nó dá éis sin, cinneadh a ghlacadh lena leasófar mír 1 d'fhonn cumhachtaí Oifig an Ionchúisitheora Phoiblí Eorpaigh a leathnú chun go n-áireofar orthu an choireacht thromchúiseach a bhfuil gné thrasteorann ag baint léi, agus lena leasófar dá réir sin mír 2 maidir le lucht déanta coireanna tromchúiseacha a dhéanann difear do Bhallstát amháin nó níos mó agus maidir lena gcomhchoirithe sna coireanna sin. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle Eorpach d'aon toil tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gCoimisiún.

In that case, the procedure in the Council shall be suspended. After discussion, and in case of a consensus, the European Council shall, within four months of this suspension, refer the draft back to the Council for adoption.	3. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di i gcomhréir leis an nós imeachta reachtach speisialta, bearta maidir le comhar oibríochtúil idir na húdaráis dá dtagraítear san Airteagal seo. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle d'aon toil tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa.

The Commission may publish its decision and authorise Member States to take the measures, the conditions and details of which it shall determine, needed to remedy the situation.	1. Gan dochar d'Airteagal 104, féachfaidh an Coimisiún chuige go gcuirfear chun feidhme na prionsabail atá leagtha síos in Airteagail 101 agus 102. Ar iarratas a fháil ó Bhallstát, nó uaidh féin, agus i gcomhar le húdaráis inniúla na mBallstát, a thabharfaidh a gcabhair dó, scrúdóidh an Coimisiún cásanna ina bhfuil amhras gur sáraíodh na prionsabail thuasluaite. Má fhaigheann sé gur tharla sárú, molfaidh sé bearta iomchuí chun deireadh a chur leis.
3. The Commission may adopt regulations relating to the categories of agreement in respect of which the Council has adopted a regulation or a directive pursuant to Article 103(2)(b).	2. Mura gcuirtear deireadh leis an sárú, déanfaidh an Coimisiún an sárú sin ar na prionsabail a thaifeadadh i gcinneadh réasúnaithe. Féadfaidh an Coimisiún a chinneadh a fhoilsiú agus a údarú do Bhallstáit na bearta is gá a dhéanamh chun an scéal a leigheas, agus saineoidh sé coinníollacha agus sonraí na mbeart sin.
Article 106	3. Féadfaidh an Coimisiún rialacháin a ghlacadh a bhainfidh leis na haicmí comhaontuithe a bhfuil an Chomhairle tar éis rialachán nó treoir a ghlacadh ina leith i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 103(2)(b).
(ex Article 86 TEC)	Airteagal 106
1. In the case of public undertakings and undertakings to which Member States grant special or exclusive rights, Member States shall neither enact nor maintain in force any measure contrary to the rules contained in the Treaties, in particular to those rules provided for in Article 18 and Articles 101 to 109.	(sean-Airteagal 86 CCE)
2. Undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly shall be subject to the rules contained in the Treaties, in particular to the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them. The development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Union.	1. I gcás na ngnóthas poiblí agus na ngnóthas dá dtugann na Ballstáit cearta speisialta nó cearta eisiacha, ní achtóidh na Ballstáit, ná ní choinneoidh siad i bhfeidhm, aon bheart atá bunoscionn le rialacha na gConarthaí, go háirithe na rialacha dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 18 agus in Airteagail 101 go 109.
3. The Commission shall ensure the application of the provisions of this Article and shall, where necessary, address appropriate directives or decisions to Member States.	2. Gnóthais arb é a gcúram seirbhísí a oibriú is seirbhísí ar mhaithe leis an leas eacnamaíoch i gcoitinne nó seirbhísí de chineál monaplachta fioscaí, beidh siad faoi réir rialacha na gConarthaí, go háirithe na rialacha iomaíochta, chomh fada is nach dtiocfaidh de na rialacha sin a chur chun feidhme bac ar chomhlíonadh, ó dhlí nó ó ghníomh, an chúraim áirithe a ceapadh dóibh. Caithfear gan cur as d'fhorbairt na trádála go feadh méid ba dhochar do leasanna an Aontais.
SECTION 2	3. Féachfaidh an Coimisiún chuige go gcuirfear forálacha an Airteagail seo chun feidhme agus, nuair is gá sin, eiseoidh sé treoracha nó cinntí iomchuí chun na mBallstát.
AIDS GRANTED BY STATES	ROINN 2
Article 107	CABHRACHA Ó STÁIT
(ex Article 87 TEC)	Airteagal 107
1. Save as otherwise provided in the Treaties, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market.	(sean-Airteagal 87 CCE)
2. The following shall be compatible with the internal market:	1. Ach amháin mar a bhforáiltear a mhalairt sna Conarthaí, aon chabhair a thabharfaidh Ballstát nó a thabharfar trí bhíthin acmhainní Stáit i bhfoirm ar bith, agus a bhéarfaidh nó is baolach a bhéarfadh saobhadh ar iomaíocht trí thaobhú le gnóthais áirithe nó le táirgeadh earraí áirithe, ní luífidh sí leis an margadh inmheánach sa mhéid go dtéann sí i gcion ar an trádáil idir Ballstáit.
(a) aid having a social character, granted to individual consumers, provided that such aid is granted without discrimination related to the origin of the products concerned;	2. Beidh cabhair dá leithéid seo a leanas ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach:
(b) aid to make good the damage caused by natural disasters or exceptional occurrences;	(a) cabhair de chineál comhdhaonnach do thomhaltóirí aonair, ar choinníoll go dtugtar an chabhair sin gan idirdhealú maidir le tionscnamh na dtáirgí áirithe;
(c) aid granted to the economy of certain areas of the Federal Republic of Germany affected by the division of Germany, in so far as such aid is required in order to compensate for the economic disadvantages caused by that division. Five years after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, may adopt a decision repealing this point.	(b) cabhair chun damáiste a shlánú a tharla de dheasca tubaistí nádúrtha nó tarlachtaintí neamhchoitianta eile;
3. The following may be considered to be compatible with the internal market:	(c) cabhair do gheilleagar limistéar áirithe de Phoblacht Chónaidhme na Gearmáine ar chuir deighilt na Gearmáine as dóibh, sa mhéid gur gá an chabhair sin mar chúiteamh sna míbhuntáistí eacnamaíocha a tháinig den deighilt sin. Cúig bliana tar éis do Chonradh Liospóin teacht i bhfeidhm, féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, cinneadh a ghlacadh lena n-aisghairfear an pointe seo.
(a) aid to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment, and of the regions referred to in Article 349, in view of their structural, economic and social situation;	3. Is inmheasta cabhair dá leithéid seo a leanas a bheith ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach:
(b) aid to promote the execution of an important project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State;	(a) cabhair chun forbairt eacnamaíoch a thabhairt ar limistéir ina bhfuil an caighdeán maireachtála thar a bheith íseal nó ina bhfuil mórchuid tearcfhostaíochta, agus ar na réigiúin dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 349, ag féachaint dá staid struchtúrtha, eacnamaíoch agus shóisialta;
(c) aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest;	(b) cabhair chun cuidiú le tionscadal tábhachtach ar mhaithe le leas na hEorpa i gcoitinne a chur i gcrích nó chun suaitheadh tromchúiseach i ngeilleagar Ballstáit a leigheas;
(d) aid to promote culture and heritage conservation where such aid does not affect trading conditions and competition in the Union to an extent that is contrary to the common interest;	(c) cabhair chun forbairt ghníomhaíochtaí eacnamaíocha áirithe nó limistéar eacnamaíoch áirithe a éascú, nuair nach n-athraíonn an chabhair sin dálaí trádála an oiread go mbeadh dochar ann don leas coiteann;
(e) such other categories of aid as may be specified by decision of the Council on a proposal from the Commission.	(d) cabhair chun cultúr agus caomhnú na hoidhreachta a chur ar aghaidh nuair nach gcuireann sí isteach ar dhálaí trádála agus iomaíochta san Aontas go feadh méid atá bunoscionn leis an leas comhchoiteann.
Article 108	(e) cabhair de cibé cineálacha eile a shonrófar le cinneadh ón gComhairle ar thogra ón gCoimisiún.
(ex Article 88 TEC)	Airteagal 108
1. The Commission shall, in cooperation with Member States, keep under constant review all systems of aid existing in those States. It shall propose to the latter any appropriate measures required by the progressive development or by the functioning of the internal market.	(sean-Airteagal 88 CCE)
2. If, after giving notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments, the Commission finds that aid granted by a State or through State resources is not compatible with the internal market having regard to Article 107, or that such aid is being misused, it shall decide that the State concerned shall abolish or alter such aid within a period of time to be determined by the Commission.	1. Déanfaidh an Coimisiún, i gcomhar leis na Ballstáit, na córais chabhrach go léir sna Stáit sin a choimeád faoi bhreithniú i gcónaí. Molfaidh sé do na Stáit sin aon bhearta iomchuí is gá chun an margadh inmheánach a fhorbairt go comhleanúnach nó chun a fheidhmithe.
If the State concerned does not comply with this decision within the prescribed time, the Commission or any other interested State may, in derogation from the provisions of Articles 258 and 259, refer the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union direct.	2. Más rud é, tar éis fógra a thabhairt do na páirtithe lena mbaineann a mbarúlacha a chur isteach, go bhfaighidh an Coimisiún go bhfuil cabhair a thug Stát nó a tugadh trí bhíthin acmhainní Stáit gan bheith ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach ag féachaint d'fhorálacha Airteagal 107, nó go bhfuil an chabhair sin á mí-úsáid, cinnfidh sé go ndlíonn an Stát sin an chabhair sin a dhíothú nó a athrú laistigh de thréimhse a chinnfidh an Coimisiún.
On application by a Member State, the Council may, acting unanimously, decide that aid which that State is granting or intends to grant shall be considered to be compatible with the internal market, in derogation from the provisions of Article 107 or from the regulations provided for in Article 109, if such a decision is justified by exceptional circumstances. If, as regards the aid in question, the Commission has already initiated the procedure provided for in the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the fact that the State concerned has made its application to the Council shall have the effect of suspending that procedure until the Council has made its attitude known.	Mura gcomhlíonfaidh an Stát áirithe an cinneadh sin laistigh den tréimhse ordaithe, féadfaidh an Coimisiún nó aon Stát leasmhar eile, de mhaolú ar fhorálacha Airteagail 258 agus 259, an t-ábhar a thabhairt faoi bhráid Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh go díreach.
If, however, the Council has not made its attitude known within three months of the said application being made, the Commission shall give its decision on the case.	Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar iarratas ó Bhallstát, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil, a chinneadh go measfar cabhair atá á tabhairt nó le tabhairt ag an Stát sin a bheith ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach, de mhaolú ar fhorálacha Airteagal 107 nó ar na rialacháin dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 109, má fhágann imthosca eisceachtúla gur cinneadh cóir é sin. Más rud é maidir leis an gcabhair sin, go bhfuil an Coimisiún tar éis an nós imeachta dá bhforáiltear sa chéad fhomhír den mhír seo a thionscnamh cheana féin, beidh d'éifeacht ag an iarratas chun na Comhairle ón Stát atá i gceist go bhfionrófar an nós imeachta sin go dtí gur feasach cad é dearcadh na Comhairle.
3. The Commission shall be informed, in sufficient time to enable it to submit its comments, of any plans to grant or alter aid. If it considers that any such plan is not compatible with the internal market having regard to Article 107, it shall without delay initiate the procedure provided for in paragraph 2. The Member State concerned shall not put its proposed measures into effect until this procedure has resulted in a final decision.	Más rud é, áfach, nach mbeidh a dearcadh curtha in iúl ag an gComhairle laistigh de thrí mhí ó rinneadh an t-iarratas sin, tabharfaidh an Coimisiún a chinneadh ar an gcás.
4. The Commission may adopt regulations relating to the categories of State aid that the Council has, pursuant to Article 109, determined may be exempted from the procedure provided for by paragraph 3 of this Article.	3. Cuirfear i bhfios don Choimisiún, in am trátha ionas go bhféadfaidh sé a bharúlacha a thabhairt, aon phleananna chun cabhair a thabhairt nó a athrú. Má mheasann sé go bhfuil aon phlean den sórt sin gan bheith ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach, ag féachaint d'Airteagal 107, tionscnóidh sé, gan mhoill, an nós imeachta dá bhforáiltear i mír 2. Ní chuirfidh an Ballstát áirithe na bearta atá ceaptha aige in éifeacht go dtí go bhfaighfear cinneadh críochnaitheach de thoradh an nós imeachta sin.
Article 109	4. Féadfaidh an Coimisiún rialacháin a ghlacadh a bhainfidh leis na haicmí cabhrach Stáit a bhfuil cinneadh glactha ag an gComhairle ina leith, de bhun Airteagal 109, go bhfuil siad díolmhaithe ón nós imeachta dá bhforáiltear i mír 3 den Airteagal seo.
(ex Article 89 TEC)	Airteagal 109
The Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, may make any appropriate regulations for the application of Articles 107 and 108 and may in particular determine the conditions in which Article 108(3) shall apply and the categories of aid exempted from this procedure.	(sean-Airteagal 89 CAE)
CHAPTER 2	Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa, aon rialacháin fóinteach a dhéanamh chun Airteagail 107 agus 108 a chur chun feidhme, agus féadfaidh sí go háirithe na coinníollacha ina mbeidh Airteagal 108(3) infheidhme a chinneadh mar aon leis na cineálacha cabhrach atá eiscthe ón nós imeachta seo.
TAX PROVISIONS	CAIBIDIL 2
Article 110	FORÁLACHA CÁNACHAIS
(ex Article 90 TEC)	Airteagal 110
No Member State shall impose, directly or indirectly, on the products of other Member States any internal taxation of any kind in excess of that imposed directly or indirectly on similar domestic products.	(sean-Airteagal 90 CCE)
Furthermore, no Member State shall impose on the products of other Member States any internal taxation of such a nature as to afford indirect protection to other products.	Ní fhorchuirfidh aon Bhallstát, go díreach ná go hindíreach, ar tháirgí Ballstát eile aon chánachas inmheánach de shaghas ar bith de bhreis ar a bhforchuirtear go díreach nó go hindíreach ar a samhail dá tháirgí náisiúnta féin.
Article 111	Fairis sin, ní fhorchuirfidh aon Bhallstát ar tháirgí Ballstát eile aon chánachas inmheánach de shaghas a thabharfaidh cosaint indíreach do tháirgí eile.
(ex Article 91 TEC)	Airteagal 111
Where products are exported to the territory of any Member State, any repayment of internal taxation shall not exceed the internal taxation imposed on them whether directly or indirectly.	(sean-Airteagal 91 CCE)
Article 112	I gcás earraí a onnmhairítear go críoch aon Bhallstáit, ní bheidh aon aisíocaíocht ar chánachas inmheánach níos mó ná an cánachas inmheánach a forchuireadh orthu, go díreach nó go hindíreach.
(ex Article 92 TEC)	Airteagal 112
In the case of charges other than turnover taxes, excise duties and other forms of indirect taxation, remissions and repayments in respect of exports to other Member States may not be granted and countervailing charges in respect of imports from Member States may not be imposed unless the measures contemplated have been previously approved for a limited period by the Council on a proposal from the Commission.	(sean-Airteagal 92 CCE)
Article 113	I gcás muirear seachas cánacha láimhdeachais, dleachtanna máil agus cineálacha eile cánachais indírigh, ní cead maithiúnais ná aisíocaíochtaí i leith onnmhairí go Ballstáit eile a dheonú ná ní cead muirir frithchúitimh i leith allmhairí ó Bhallstáit a fhorchur mura mbeidh na bearta a mheabhraítear formheasta roimh ré go ceann tréimhse teoranta ag an gComhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún.
(ex Article 93 TEC)	Airteagal 113
The Council shall, acting unanimously in accordance with a special legislative procedure and after consulting the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, adopt provisions for the harmonisation of legislation concerning turnover taxes, excise duties and other forms of indirect taxation to the extent that such harmonisation is necessary to ensure the establishment and the functioning of the internal market and to avoid distortion of competition.	(sean-Airteagal 93 CCE)
CHAPTER 3	Glacfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil i gcomhréir le nós imeachta reachtach speisialta agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa, agus leis an gCoiste Eacnamaíoch agus Sóisialta, na forálacha maidir le comhchuibhiú reachtaíochta a bhaineann le cánacha láimhdeachais, dleachtanna máil agus cineálacha eile cánachais indírigh a mhéad is gá an comhchuibhiú sin chun bunú agus oibriú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh a áirithiú agus chun saobhadh ar an iomaíocht a sheachaint.
APPROXIMATION OF LAWS	CAIBIDIL 3
Article 114	DLÍTHE A CHOMHFHOGASÚ
(ex Article 95 TEC)	Airteagal 114
1. Save where otherwise provided in the Treaties, the following provisions shall apply for the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 26. The European Parliament and the Council shall, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and after consulting the Economic and Social Committee, adopt the measures for the approximation of the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States which have as their object the establishment and functioning of the internal market.	(sean-Airteagal 95 CCE)
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to fiscal provisions, to those relating to the free movement of persons nor to those relating to the rights and interests of employed persons.	1. Ach amháin mar a bhforáiltear a mhalairt sna Conarthaí, beidh na forálacha seo a leanas infheidhme d'fhonn na cuspóirí dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 26 a bhaint amach. Glacfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gCoiste Eacnamaíoch agus Sóisialta, na bearta maidir le comhfhogasú na bhforálacha reachtaíochta nó rialúcháin nó riaracháin atá ceaptha sna Ballstáit chun an margadh inmheánach a bhunú agus a oibriú.
3. The Commission, in its proposals envisaged in paragraph 1 concerning health, safety, environmental protection and consumer protection, will take as a base a high level of protection, taking account in particular of any new development based on scientific facts. Within their respective powers, the European Parliament and the Council will also seek to achieve this objective.	2. Ní bheidh mír 1 infheidhme i leith forálacha fioscacha, forálacha maidir le saorghluaiseacht daoine ná forálacha maidir le cearta agus leas fostaithe.
4. If, after the adoption of a harmonisation measure by the European Parliament and the Council, by the Council or by the Commission, a Member State deems it necessary to maintain national provisions on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 36, or relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment, it shall notify the Commission of these provisions as well as the grounds for maintaining them.	3. Is ar ardleibhéal cosanta a bheidh tograí an Choimisiúin dá bhforáiltear i mír 1 maidir le sláinte, sábháilteacht, cosaint an chomhshaoil agus cosaint an tomhaltóra bunaithe, agus aon fhorbairt nua atá bunaithe ar fhíorais eolaíocha á cur san áireamh ach go háirithe. Faoi chuimsiú a gcumhachtaí faoi seach, féachfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle freisin leis an gcuspóir sin a bhaint amach.
5. Moreover, without prejudice to paragraph 4, if, after the adoption of a harmonisation measure by the European Parliament and the Council, by the Council or by the Commission, a Member State deems it necessary to introduce national provisions based on new scientific evidence relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment on grounds of a problem specific to that Member State arising after the adoption of the harmonisation measure, it shall notify the Commission of the envisaged provisions as well as the grounds for introducing them.	4. Más rud é, tar éis do Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus don Chomhairle, don Chomhairle nó don Choimisiún beart comhchuibhithe a ghlacadh, go measann Ballstát gur gá forálacha náisiúnta a choimeád ar bun de bharr riachtanais thábhachtacha dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 36 nó a bhaineann le cosaint an chomhshaoil nó na timpeallachta oibre, cuirfidh sé na forálacha sin, maille leis na forais atá lena gcoimeád ar bun, in iúl don Choimisiún.
6. The Commission shall, within six months of the notifications as referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5, approve or reject the national provisions involved after having verified whether or not they are a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States and whether or not they shall constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market.	5. Thairis sin, gan dochar do mhír 4, más rud é, tar éis do Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus don Chomhairle, don Chomhairle nó don Choimisiún beart comhchuibhithe a ghlacadh, go measann Ballstát gur gá forálacha náisiúnta a thabhairt isteach atá bunaithe ar fhianaise eolaíoch nua maidir le cosaint an chomhshaoil nó na timpeallachta oibre de bharr fadhb a bhaineann go leithleach leis an mBallstát sin agus a thagann chun cinn tar éis don bheart comhchuibhithe a bheith glactha, cuirfidh sé na forálacha arna mbeartú, maille leis na forais atá lena dtabhairt isteach, in iúl don Choimisiún.
In the absence of a decision by the Commission within this period the national provisions referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be deemed to have been approved.	6. Laistigh de shé mhí ó na fógraí dá dtagraítear i míreanna 4 agus 5 a fháil, déanfaidh an Coimisiún na forálacha náisiúnta i gceist a fhormheas nó a dhiúltú tar éis dó a fhíorú an bhfuil nó nach bhfuil áis á baint astu le haghaidh idirdhealú treallach nó chun srianadh faoi cheilt a dhéanamh ar an trádáil idir Ballstáit agus an bhfuil nó nach bhfuil siad ina gconstaic d'fheidhmiú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh.
When justified by the complexity of the matter and in the absence of danger for human health, the Commission may notify the Member State concerned that the period referred to in this paragraph may be extended for a further period of up to six months.	Mura ndéanfaidh an Coimisiún cinneadh laistigh den tréimhse sin, measfar go bhfuil na forálacha náisiúnta dá dtagraítear i míreanna 4 agus 5 formheasta.
7. When, pursuant to paragraph 6, a Member State is authorised to maintain or introduce national provisions derogating from a harmonisation measure, the Commission shall immediately examine whether to propose an adaptation to that measure.	Nuair atá call leis sin mar gheall ar chastacht an ábhair agus in éagmais contúirte do shláinte an duine, féadfaidh an Coimisiún a chur in iúl don Bhallstát i dtrácht go bhféadfar an tréimhse dá dtagraítear sa mhír seo a fhadú go ceann tréimhse eile suas go sé mhí.
8. When a Member State raises a specific problem on public health in a field which has been the subject of prior harmonisation measures, it shall bring it to the attention of the Commission which shall immediately examine whether to propose appropriate measures to the Council.	7. Nuair a údaraítear do Bhallstát, de bhun mhír 6, forálacha náisiúnta a choimeád ar bun nó a thabhairt isteach de mhaolú ar bheart comhchuibhithe, scrúdóidh an Coimisiún láithreach an cóir oiriúnú ar an mbeart sin a mholadh.
9. By way of derogation from the procedure laid down in Articles 258 and 259, the Commission and any Member State may bring the matter directly before the Court of Justice of the European Union if it considers that another Member State is making improper use of the powers provided for in this Article.	8. Nuair a ardaíonn Ballstát fadhb shonrach sláinte poiblí i réimse a bhí ina ábhar roimhe sin do bhearta comhchuibhithe, tabharfaidh sé ar aird don Choimisiún í agus scrúdóidh an Coimisiún láithreach an cóir bearta iomchuí a mholadh don Chomhairle.
10. The harmonisation measures referred to above shall, in appropriate cases, include a safeguard clause authorising the Member States to take, for one or more of the non-economic reasons referred to in Article 36, provisional measures subject to a Union control procedure.	9. De mhaolú ar an nós imeachta atá leagtha síos in Airteagail 258 agus 259, féadfaidh an Coimisiún nó Ballstát ar bith an t-ábhar a thabhairt díreach os comhair Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh má mheasann sé go bhfuil Ballstát eile ag baint mí-úsáide as na cumhachtaí dá bhforáiltear san Airteagal seo.
Article 115	10. Beidh sna bearta comhchuibhithe dá dtagraítear anseo thuas, i ngach cás is iomchuí, clásal cosanta lena n-údarófar do na Ballstáit, ar cheann amháin nó níos mó de na cúiseanna neamheacnamaíocha dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 36, bearta sealadacha a ghlacadh faoi réir nós imeachta rialaithe de chuid an Aontais.
(ex Article 94 TEC)	Airteagal 115
Without prejudice to Article 114, the Council shall, acting unanimously in accordance with a special legislative procedure and after consulting the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, issue directives for the approximation of such laws, regulations or administrative provisions of the Member States as directly affect the establishment or functioning of the internal market.	(sean-Airteagal 94 CCE)
Article 116	Gan dochar d'Airteagal 114, déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil i gcomhréir le nós imeachta reachtach speisialta agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa agus leis an gCoiste Eacnamaíoch agus Sóisialta, treoracha a ghlacadh le haghaidh chomhfhogasú fhorálacha reachtaíochta nó rialúcháin nó riaracháin na mBallstát a dhéanann difear go díreach do bhunú nó d'oibriú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh.
(ex Article 96 TEC)	Airteagal 116
Where the Commission finds that a difference between the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States is distorting the conditions of competition in the internal market and that the resultant distortion needs to be eliminated, it shall consult the Member States concerned.	(sean-Airteagal 96 CCE)
If such consultation does not result in an agreement eliminating the distortion in question, the European, Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, shall issue the necessary directives. Any other appropriate measures provided for in the Treaties may be adopted.	Má fhaigheann an Coimisiún go bhfuil difríocht idir na forálacha reachtaíochta nó rialúcháin nó riaracháin i mBallstáit atá ag saobhadh na gcoinníollacha iomaíochta sa mhargadh inmheánach agus gur gá an saobhadh dá dheasca sin a dhíchur, rachaidh an Coimisiún i gcomhairle leis na Ballstáit atá i gceist.
Article 117	Mura dtiocfaidh as an dáil chomhairle sin comhaontú trína ndíchuirfear an saobhadh áirithe, déanfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, na treoracha is gá a eisiúint. Féadfar gach beart iomchuí eile dá bhforáiltear sna Conarthaí a ghlacadh.
(ex Article 97 TEC)	Airteagal 117
1. Where there is a reason to fear that the adoption or amendment of a provision laid down by law, regulation or administrative action may cause distortion within the meaning of Article 116, a Member State desiring to proceed therewith shall consult the Commission. After consulting the Member States, the Commission shall recommend to the States concerned such measures as may be appropriate to avoid the distortion in question.	(sean-Airteagal 97 CCE)
2. If a State desiring to introduce or amend its own provisions does not comply with the recommendation addressed to it by the Commission, other Member States shall not be required, pursuant to Article 116, to amend their own provisions in order to eliminate such distortion. If the Member State which has ignored the recommendation of the Commission causes distortion detrimental only to itself, the provisions of Article 116 shall not apply.	1. Má bhíonn cúis ann chun a cheapadh gur baolach saobhadh de réir bhrí Airteagal 116 a theacht as foráil reachtaíochta nó rialúcháin nó riaracháin a ghlacadh nó a leasú, rachaidh Ballstát i gcomhairle leis an gCoimisiún má theastaíonn uaidh dul ar aghaidh leis an bhforáil sin a ghlacadh nó a leasú. Tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis na Ballstáit, molfaidh an Coimisiún do na Stáit lena mbaineann cibé bearta is iomchuí chun an saobhadh sin a sheachaint.
Article 118	2. Mura gcomhlíonfaidh an Stát a dteastaíonn uaidh forálacha dá chuid féin a thabhairt isteach nó a leasú an moladh a thug an Coimisiún dó, ní iarrfar, de bhun Airteagal 116, ar na Ballstáit eile a bhforálacha féin a leasú chun an saobhadh sin a dhíchur. Má bhíonn an Ballstát a thug neamhaird ar mholadh an Choimisiúin ina chúis le saobhadh a rachaidh chun dochair dó féin amháin, ní bheidh feidhm le forálacha Airteagal 116.
In the context of the establishment and functioning of the internal market, the European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, shall establish measures for the creation of European intellectual property rights to provide uniform protection of intellectual property rights throughout the Union and for the setting up of centralised Union-wide authorisation, coordination and supervision arrangements.	Airteagal 118
The Council, acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure, shall by means of regulations establish language arrangements for the European intellectual property rights. The Council shall act unanimously after consulting the European Parliament.	Faoi chuimsiú an margadh inmheánach a bhunú nó a oibriú, bunóidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, bearta maidir le cearta Eorpacha maoine intleachtúla a chruthú chun cosaint chomhionann ar chearta maoine intleachtúla a áirithiú ar fud an Aontais agus maidir le córais lárnaithe um údarú, um chomhordú agus um maoirsiú a chur ar bun ar leibhéal an Aontais.
TITLE VIII	Déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di i gcomhréir le nós imeachta reachtach speisialta, na socruithe teanga do na cearta Eorpacha maoine intleachtúla a ghlacadh trí bhíthin rialachán. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle d'aon toil tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa.

3. These activities of the Member States and the Union shall entail compliance with the following guiding principles: stable prices, sound public finances and monetary conditions and a sustainable balance of payments.	2. Go comhthreomhar leis sin, agus faoi na coinníollacha agus de réir na nósanna imeachta dá bhforáiltear sna Conarthaí, cuimseoidh na gníomhaíochtaí sin airgeadra aonair, an euro, beartas aonair airgeadaíochta agus beartas aonair rátaí malairte a shainiú agus a sheoladh arb é is cuspóir príomhúil leo araon cobhsaíocht phraghsanna a choimeád ar bun agus, gan dochar don chuspóir sin, tacú leis na beartais eacnamaíocha ghinearálta san Aontas, i gcomhréir le prionsabal geilleagair mhargaidh oscailte le saoriomaíocht.
CHAPTER 1	3. Béarfaidh gníomhaíochtaí sin na mBallstát agus an Aontais go ndéanfar na treoirphrionsabail seo a leanas a urramú: praghsanna cobhsaí, airgeadas poiblí fónta agus dálaí airgeadaíochta fónta agus comhardú inbhuanaithe íocaíochtaí.

Gníomhóidh na Ballstáit agus an tAontas i gcomhréir le prionsabal geilleagair mhargaidh oscailte le saoriomaíocht ar mhaithe le cionroinnt éifeachtach acmhainní agus ag comhlíonadh na bprionsabal atá leagtha amach in Airteagal 119.
(ex Article 99 TEC)	Airteagal 121
1. Member States shall regard their economic policies as a matter of common concern and shall coordinate them within the Council, in accordance with the provisions of Article 120.	(sean-Airteagal 99 CCE)
2. The Council shall, on a recommendation from the Commission, formulate a draft for the broad guidelines of the economic policies of the Member States and of the Union, and shall report its findings to the European Council.	1. Measfaidh na Ballstáit gur ábhar leasa choitinn a mbeartais eacnamaíocha agus déanfaidh siad comhordú orthu i dtionól na Comhairle, i gcomhréir le forálacha Airteagal 120.
The European Council shall, acting on the basis of the report from the Council, discuss a conclusion on the broad guidelines of the economic policies of the Member States and of the Union.	2. Déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ar mholadh ón gCoimisiún, dréacht a fhoirmiú de mhór-threoirlínte bheartais eacnamaíocha na mBallstát agus an Aontais agus déanfaidh sí tuarascáil ar a machnamh don Chomhairle Eorpach.
On the basis of this conclusion, the Council shall adopt a recommendation setting out these broad guidelines. The Council shall inform the European Parliament of its recommendation.	Déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, ag gníomhú di ar bhonn na tuarascála sin ón gComhairle, conclúid a phlé ar mhór-threoirlínte bheartais eacnamaíocha na mBallstát agus an Aontais.
3. In order to ensure closer coordination of economic policies and sustained convergence of the economic performances of the Member States, the Council shall, on the basis of reports submitted by the Commission, monitor economic developments in each of the Member States and in the Union as well as the consistency of economic policies with the broad guidelines referred to in paragraph 2, and regularly carry out an overall assessment.	Ar bhonn na conclúide sin, glacfaidh an Chomhairle moladh a shocróidh na mór-threoirlínte sin. Cuirfidh an Chomhairle Parlaimint na hEorpa ar an eolas faoina moladh.
For the purpose of this multilateral surveillance, Member States shall forward information to the Commission about important measures taken by them in the field of their economic policy and such other information as they deem necessary.	3. D'fhonn comhordú níos dlúithe ar na beartais eacnamaíocha agus cóineasú marthanach ar fheidhmiú eacnamaíoch na mBallstát a áirithiú, déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ar bhonn tuarascálacha a chuirfidh an Coimisiún faoina bráid, faireachán ar fhorbairt eacnamaíoch i ngach ceann de na Ballstáit agus san Aontas agus ar chomhchuibheas na mbeartas eacnamaíoch leis na mór-threoirlínte dá dtagraítear i mír 2 agus measúnú foriomlán go tráthrialta.
4. Where it is established, under the procedure referred to in paragraph 3, that the economic policies of a Member State are not consistent with the broad guidelines referred to in paragraph 2 or that they risk jeopardising the proper functioning of economic and monetary union, the Commission may address a warning to the Member State concerned. The Council, on a recommendation from the Commission, may address the necessary recommendations to the Member State concerned. The Council may, on a proposal from the Commission, decide to make its recommendations public.	Chun críocha an fhaireacháin iltaobhaigh sin, cuirfidh na Ballstáit faisnéis chuig an gCoimisiún ar bhearta tábhachtacha arna nglacadh acu i réimse a mbeartais eacnamaíoch agus pé faisnéis eile a mheasann siad is gá.
Within the scope of this paragraph, the Council shall act without taking into account the vote of the member of the Council representing the Member State concerned.	4. Má shuitear, faoi chuimsiú an nós imeachta dá dtagraítear i mír 3, nach bhfuil beartais eacnamaíocha Ballstáit comhchuí leis na mór-threoirlínte dá dtagraítear i mír 2 nó gur dóigh dóibh oibriú rianúil an Aontais eacnamaíoch agus airgeadaíochta a chur i gcontúirt, féadfaidh an Coimisiún foláireamh a dhíriú chuig an mBallstát i dtrácht. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar mholadh ón gCoimisiún, na moltaí is gá a dhíriú chuig an mBallstát i dtrácht. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle a chinneadh, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, a moltaí a phoibliú.
A qualified majority of the other members of the Council shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(a).	Faoi chuimsiú na míre seo, gníomhóidh an Chomhairle gan vóta chomhalta na Comhairle a ionadaíonn don Bhallstát i dtrácht a chur san áireamh.

The President of the Council may be invited to appear before the competent committee of the European Parliament if the Council has made its recommendations public.	Saineofar tromlach cáilithe chomhaltaí eile na Comhairle i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3)(a).

(ex Article 104 TEC)	Airteagal 126
1. Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.	(sean-Airteagal 104 CCE)
2. The Commission shall monitor the development of the budgetary situation and of the stock of government debt in the Member States with a view to identifying gross errors. In particular it shall examine compliance with budgetary discipline on the basis of the following two criteria:	1. Seachnóidh na Ballstáit easnaimh rialtais iomarcacha.
(a) whether the ratio of the planned or actual government deficit to gross domestic product exceeds a reference value, unless:	2. Déanfaidh an Coimisiún faireachán ar fhorbairt an choir bhuiséadaigh agus ar stoc an fhiachais rialtais sna Ballstáit d'fhonn ollearráidí a shainaithint. Scrúdóidh sé ach go háirithe comhlíonadh smachta bhuiséadaigh ar bhonn an dá chritéar seo a leanas:
- either the ratio has declined substantially and continuously and reached a level that comes close to the reference value,	(a) an dtéann an cóimheas idir an t-easnamh rialtais pleanáilte nó iarbhír agus an olltáirgeacht intíre thar luach tagartha:
- or, alternatively, the excess over the reference value is only exceptional and temporary and the ratio remains close to the reference value;	- mura bhfuil an cóimheas tar éis ísliú go suntasach leanúnach agus mura bhfuil sé tar éis leibhéal a shroicheadh atá gar don luach tagartha;
(b) whether the ratio of government debt to gross domestic product exceeds a reference value, unless the ratio is sufficiently diminishing and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace.	- nó, ina mhalairt de chás, mura bhfuil an farasbarr thar an luach tagartha eisceachtúil agus sealadach amháin agus mura bhfanann an cóimheas gar don luach tagartha;
The reference values are specified in the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaties.	(b) an dtéann an cóimheas idir an fiachas rialtais agus an olltáirgeacht intíre thar luach tagartha, mura bhfuil an cóimheas ag laghdú a dhóthain agus ag druidim ar luas sásúil leis an luach tagartha.
3. If a Member State does not fulfil the requirements under one or both of these criteria, the Commission shall prepare a report. The report of the Commission shall also take into account whether the government deficit exceeds government investment expenditure and take into account all other relevant factors, including the medium-term economic and budgetary position of the Member State.	Sonraítear na luachanna tagartha sa Phrótacal maidir leis an nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach atá i gceangal leis na Conarthaí.
The Commission may also prepare a report if, notwithstanding the fulfilment of the requirements under the criteria, it is of the opinion that there is a risk of an excessive deficit in a Member State.	3. Mura ndéanann Ballstát na ceanglais faoi cheann amháin de na critéir sin nó faoin dá cheann a chomhall, ullmhóidh an Coimisiún tuarascáil. Cuirfear san áireamh freisin i dtuarascáil an Choimisiúin an dtéann an t-easnamh rialtais thar chaiteachas infheistíochta rialtais maille le gach toisc ábhartha eile lena n-áirítear cor eacnamaíoch agus buiséadach meántéarmach an Bhallstáit.
4. The Economic and Financial Committee shall formulate an opinion on the report of the Commission.	Féadfaidh an Coimisiún tuarascáil a ullmhú freisin má tá sé den tuairim, d'ainneoin chomhall na gceanglas faoi na critéir, go bhfuil baol easnaimh iomarcaigh ann i mBallstát.
5. If the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur, it shall address an opinion to the Member State concerned and shall inform the Council accordingly.	4. Foirmeoidh an Coiste Eacnamaíoch agus Airgeadais tuairim ar thuarascáil an Choimisiúin.
6. The Council shall, on a proposal from the Commission, and having considered any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make, decide after an overall assessment whether an excessive deficit exists.	5. Má mheasann an Coimisiún go bhfuil easnamh iomarcach nó baol easnaimh iomarcaigh ann i mBallstát, déanfaidh sé tuairim a dhíriú chuig an mBallstát i dtrácht agus cuirfidh sé an Chomhairle ar an eolas.
7. Where the Council decides, in accordance with paragraph 6, that an excessive deficit exists, it shall adopt, without undue delay, on a recommendation from the Commission, recommendations addressed to the Member State concerned with a view to bringing that situation to an end within a given period. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8, these recommendations shall not be made public.	6. Déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún agus tar éis aon bharúlacha a chur san áireamh is mian leis an mBallstát i dtrácht a chur faoina bráid, a chinneadh tar éis measúnú foriomlán an bhfuil easnamh iomarcach ann.
8. Where it establishes that there has been no effective action in response to its recommendations within the period laid down, the Council may make its recommendations public.	7. Má chinneann an Chomhairle de réir mhír 6 go bhfuil easnamh iomarcach ann, glacfaidh sí, gan mhoill mhíchuí, ar mholadh ón gCoimisiún, na moltaí arna ndíriú chuig an mBallstát i dtrácht chun deireadh a chur leis an staid sin laistigh de thréimhse a thugtar. Faoi réir fhorálacha mhír 8, ní dhéanfar na moltaí sin a phoibliú.
9. If a Member State persists in failing to put into practice the recommendations of the Council, the Council may decide to give notice to the Member State to take, within a specified time limit, measures for the deficit reduction which is judged necessary by the Council in order to remedy the situation.	8. Má shuíonn an Chomhairle nach bhfuil aon ghníomhaíocht éifeachtach déanta mar fhreagra ar a moltaí laistigh den tréimhse fhorordaithe, féadfaidh sí a moltaí a phoibliú.
In such a case, the Council may request the Member State concerned to submit reports in accordance with a specific timetable in order to examine the adjustment efforts of that Member State.	9. Má leanann Ballstát de bheith ag mainneachtain na moltaí ón gComhairle a chur i ngníomh, féadfaidh an Chomhairle a chinneadh foláireamh a thabhairt don Bhallstát bearta a ghlacadh laistigh de thréimhse shonraithe chun an laghdú easnaimh a bhaint amach a mheasann an Chomhairle a bheith riachtanach chun an cor a leigheas.
10. The rights to bring actions provided for in Articles 258 and 259 may not be exercised within the framework of paragraphs 1 to 9 of this Article.	Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, i gcás den sórt sin, a iarraidh ar an mBallstát i dtrácht tuarascálacha a chur chuici de réir tráthchláir shonraigh chun iarrachtaí coigeartaithe an Bhallstáit sin a scrúdú.
11. As long as a Member State fails to comply with a decision taken in accordance with paragraph 9, the Council may decide to apply or, as the case may be, intensify one or more of the following measures:	10. Ní fhéadfar na cearta chun caingne a thionscnamh, dá bhforáiltear in Airteagail 258 agus 259, a fheidhmiú faoi chuimsiú mhíreanna 1 go 9 den Airteagal seo.
- to require the Member State concerned to publish additional information, to be specified by the Council, before issuing bonds and securities,	11.

1. At least once every two years, or at the request of a Member State with a derogation, the Commission and the European Central Bank shall report to the Council on the progress made by the Member States with a derogation in fulfilling their obligations regarding the achievement of economic and monetary union. These reports shall include an examination of the compatibility between the national legislation of each of these Member States, including the statutes of its national central bank, and Articles 130 and 131 and the Statute of the ESCB and of the ECB. The reports shall also examine the achievement of a high degree of sustainable convergence by reference to the fulfilment by each Member State of the following criteria:	(sean-Airteagail 121(1), 122(2), an dara habairt, agus 123(5) CCE)
- the achievement of a high degree of price stability; this will be apparent from a rate of inflation which is close to that of, at most, the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability,	1. Ar a laghad uair sa dá bhliain, nó arna iarraidh sin do Bhallstát a bhfuil maolú aige, déanfaidh an Coimisiún agus an Banc Ceannais Eorpach tuarascáil don Chomhairle ar dhul chun cinn na mBallstát a bhfuil maolú acu i gcomhall a n-oibleagáidí maidir le gnóthú an Aontais eacnamaíoch agus airgeadaíochta.

Scrúdóidh na tuarascálacha freisin gnóthú mórchóineasú inbhuanaithe faoi threoir chomhall na gcritéar seo a leanas ag gach Ballstát:
- the sustainability of the government financial position; this will be apparent from having achieved a government budgetary position without a deficit that is excessive as determined in accordance with Article 126(6),	- gnóthú ardleibhéal cobhsaíochta praghsanna; beidh sé sin follasach ó ráta boilscithe atá gar do ráta na dtrí Bhallstát, ar a mhéad, is feidhmiúla maidir le cobhsaíocht phraghsanna;
- the observance of the normal fluctuation margins provided for by the exchange-rate mechanism of the European Monetary System, for at least two years, without devaluing against the euro,	- inbhuaine an riochta airgeadais rialtais; beidh sé sin follasach óir beidh riocht buiséadach rialtais gnóthaithe aige gan easnamh is iomarcach mar atá arna chinneadh i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 126(6);
- the durability of convergence achieved by the Member State with a derogation and of its participation in the exchange-rate mechanism being reflected in the long-term interest-rate levels.	- urramú na ngnáthlamhálacha luaineachta dá bhforáiltear le meicníocht rátaí malairte an Chórais Eorpaigh Airgeadaíochta, ar feadh dhá bhliain ar a laghad, gan díluacháil in aghaidh an euro;
The four criteria mentioned in this paragraph and the relevant periods over which they are to be respected are developed further in a Protocol annexed to the Treaties. The reports of the Commission and the European Central Bank shall also take account of the results of the integration of markets, the situation and development of the balances of payments on current account and an examination of the development of unit labour costs and other price indices.	- marthanacht an chóineasaithe a bheidh gnóthaithe ag an mBallstát a bhfuil maolú aige agus a rannpháirtíochta sa mheicníocht rátaí malairte á brath i leibhéil fhadtéarmacha rátaí úis.
2. After consulting the European Parliament and after discussion in the European Council, the Council shall, on a proposal from the Commission, decide which Member States with a derogation fulfil the necessary conditions on the basis of the criteria set out in paragraph 1, and abrogate the derogations of the Member States concerned.	Déantar na ceithre chritéar atá luaite sa mhír seo agus na tréimhsí ábhartha ar lena linn atá siad le hurramú a fhorbairt a thuilleadh i bPrótacal atá i gceangal leis na Conarthaí. Tabharfaidh tuarascálacha an Choimisiúin agus an Bhainc Cheannais Eorpaigh aird freisin ar thorthaí imeascadh na margaí, ar riocht agus ar fhorbairt chomhardú na n-íocaíochtaí ar cuntas reatha, agus ar scrúdú ar fhorbairt i gcostais aonad saothair agus ar innéacsanna praghsanna eile.
The Council shall act having received a recommendation of a qualified majority of those among its members representing Member States whose currency is the euro. These members shall act within six months of the Council receiving the Commission's proposal.	2. Tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa agus tar éis plé sa Chomhairle Eorpach, cinnfidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, cé hiad na Ballstáit a bhfuil maolú acu agus a chomhallann na coinníollacha is gá ar bhonn na gcritéar atá leagtha amach i mír 1 agus aisghairfidh sí maoluithe na mBallstát i dtrácht.
The qualified majority of the said members, as referred to in the second subparagraph, shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(a).	Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle tar éis moladh a fháil ó thromlach cáilithe de na comhaltaí dá cuid a ionadaíonn do na Ballstáit a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu. Gníomhóidh na comhaltaí sin laistigh de thréimhse sé mhí tar éis don Chomhairle an togra ón gCoimisiún a fháil.
3. If it is decided, in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph 2, to abrogate a derogation, the Council shall, acting with the unanimity of the Member States whose currency is the euro and the Member State concerned, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Central Bank, irrevocably fix the rate at which the euro shall be substituted for the currency of the Member State concerned, and take the other measures necessary for the introduction of the euro as the single currency in the Member State concerned.	Saineofar tromlach cáilithe chomhaltaí eile na Comhairle, dá dtagraítear sa dara fomhír, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3)(a).
Article 141	3. Má chinntear, i gcomhréir leis an nós imeachta atá leagtha amach i mír 2, deireadh a chur le maolú, déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu agus an Bhallstáit i dtrácht, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an mBanc Ceannais Eorpach, an ráta a ghlacadh go neamh-inchúlghairthe ar a gcuirfear an euro in ionad airgeadra an Bhallstáit i dtrácht, agus na bearta eile a ghlacadh is gá chun an euro a thabhairt isteach mar an t-airgeadra aonair sa Bhallstát i dtrácht.

- strengthen cooperation between the national central banks,	2. Má tá agus fad a bheidh Ballstáit ann a bhfuil maolú acu, déanfaidh an Banc Ceannais Eorpach, i dtaca leis na Ballstáit sin:
- strengthen the coordination of the monetary policies of the Member States, with the aim of ensuring price stability,	- an comhar idir na bainc cheannais náisiúnta a neartú;

(ex Article 119 TEC)	Airteagal 143
1. Where a Member State with a derogation is in difficulties or is seriously threatened with difficulties as regards its balance of payments either as a result of an overall disequilibrium in its balance of payments, or as a result of the type of currency at its disposal, and where such difficulties are liable in particular to jeopardise the functioning of the internal market or the implementation of the common commercial policy, the Commission shall immediately investigate the position of the State in question and the action which, making use of all the means at its disposal, that State has taken or may take in accordance with the provisions of the Treaties. The Commission shall state what measures it recommends the State concerned to take.	(sean-Airteagal 119 CCE)
If the action taken by a Member State with a derogation and the measures suggested by the Commission do not prove sufficient to overcome the difficulties which have arisen or which threaten, the Commission shall, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, recommend to the Council the granting of mutual assistance and appropriate methods therefor.	1. I gcás Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige a bheith i ndeacrachtaí, nó deacrachtaí a bheith ag dianbhagairt air, maidir lena chomhardú íocaíochtaí mar thoradh ar éagothromaíocht fhoriomlán sa chomhardú sin nó mar thoradh ar an saghas airgeadra atá ar láimh aige, agus nuair is dóigh go háirithe do na deacrachtaí sin oibriú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh nó cur chun feidhme comhleanúnach an chomhbheartais tráchtála a chur i gcontúirt, déanfaidh an Coimisiún imscrúdú láithreach ar riocht an Stáit i gceist agus ar an ngníomh a bheidh déanta ag an Stát sin nó a fhéadfaidh sé a dhéanamh i gcomhréir le forálacha na gConarthaí, agus úsáid á baint aige as gach meán atá ar láimh aige. Sonróidh an Coimisiún na bearta a mholann sé don Stát i dtrácht lena nglacadh.
The Commission shall keep the Council regularly informed of the situation and of how it is developing.	Mura leor gníomh an Bhallstáit a bhfuil maolú aige agus na bearta arna moladh ag an gCoimisiún chun na deacrachtaí atá tagtha chun cinn nó atá ag bagairt a shárú, molfaidh an Coimisiún, tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gCoiste Eacnamaíoch agus Airgeadais, don Chomhairle cabhair fhrithpháirteach a dheonú maille leis na modhanna iomchuí chuige sin.
2. The Council shall grant such mutual assistance; it shall adopt directives or decisions laying down the conditions and details of such assistance, which may take such forms as:	Cuirfidh an Coimisiún an Chomhairle ar an eolas go tráthrialta ar an gcor agus ar aon athrú ann.

Deonóidh an Chomhairle cúnamh frithpháirteach den sórt sin; glacfaidh sí treoracha nó cinntí ag leagan síos coinníollacha agus mionsonraí do chabhair den sórt sin a fhéadfaidh a bheith mar seo a leanas:

(c) the granting of limited credits by other Member States, subject to their agreement.	(b) bearta is gá chun sraonadh trádála a sheachaint nuair a dhéanann an Stát an Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige agus a bhfuil deacrachtaí aige srianta cainníochtúla i leith tríú tíortha a choimeád ar bun nó a thabhairt isteach athuair;
3. If the mutual assistance recommended by the Commission is not granted by the Council or if the mutual assistance granted and the measures taken are insufficient, the Commission shall authorise the Member State with a derogation which is in difficulties to take protective measures, the conditions and details of which the Commission shall determine.	(c) Ballstáit eile creidmheasanna teoranta a dheonú, faoi réir a gcomhaontaithe.
Such authorisation may be revoked and such conditions and details may be changed by the Council.	3. Mura ndeonaíonn an Chomhairle an chabhair fhrithpháirteach a mholann an Coimisiún nó mura leor an cúnamh frithpháirteach a dheonaítear agus na bearta a dhéantar, údaróidh an Coimisiún don Bhallstát a bhfuil maolú aige agus a bhfuil deacrachtaí aige bearta coimirce a ghlacadh agus socróidh an Coimisiún coinníollacha agus rialacha mionsonraithe na mbeart sin.

(ex Article 120 TEC)	Airteagal 144
1. Where a sudden crisis in the balance of payments occurs and a decision within the meaning of Article 143(2) is not immediately taken, a Member State with a derogation may, as a precaution, take the necessary protective measures. Such measures must cause the least possible disturbance in the functioning of the internal market and must not be wider in scope than is strictly necessary to remedy the sudden difficulties which have arisen.	(sean-Airteagal 120 CCE)
2. The Commission and the other Member States shall be informed of such protective measures not later than when they enter into force. The Commission may recommend to the Council the granting of mutual assistance under Article 143.	1. Nuair a tharlaíonn géarchéim thobann i gcomhardú na n-íocaíochtaí agus nach nglactar cinneadh de réir bhrí Airteagal 143(2) láithreach, féadfaidh Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige na bearta cosanta is gá a ghlacadh mar réamhchúram. Ní foláir do bhearta den sórt sin an suaitheadh is lú is féidir a dhéanamh in oibriú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh agus gan a raon a bheith níos leithne ná mar is fíorghá chun na deacrachtaí tobanna atá tagtha chun cinn a leigheas.
3. After the Commission has delivered a recommendation and the Economic and Financial Committee has been consulted, the Council may decide that the Member State concerned shall amend, suspend or abolish the protective measures referred to above.	2. Cuirfear an Coimisiún agus na Ballstáit eile ar an eolas i dtaobh beart cosanta den sórt sin tráth a dteacht i bhfeidhm ar a dhéanaí. Féadfaidh an Coimisiún a mholadh don Chomhairle cabhair a dheonú de réir Airteagal 143.

In accordance with his duties, the Ombudsman shall conduct inquiries for which he finds grounds, either on his own initiative or on the basis of complaints submitted to him direct or through a Member of the European Parliament, except where the alleged facts are or have been the subject of legal proceedings. Where the Ombudsman establishes an instance of maladministration, he shall refer the matter to the institution, body, office or agency concerned, which shall have a period of three months in which to inform him of its views. The Ombudsman shall then forward a report to the European Parliament and the institution, body, office or agency concerned.

I gcás go suíonn an tOmbudsman go bhfuil drochriarachán i gceist, cuirfidh sé an cás faoi bhráid na hinstitiúide i dtrácht agus beidh trí mhí aici chun a tuairim a thabhairt dó. Ansin díreoidh an tOmbudsman tuarascáil chuig Parlaimint na hEorpa agus chuig an institiúid i dtrácht. Cuirfear an duine a rinne an gearán ar an eolas faoi thoradh na bhfiosrúchán sin.

Féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an tOmbudsman a bhriseadh arna iarraidh sin do Pharlaimint na hEorpa mura gcomhallfaidh sé a thuilleadh na coinníollacha is gá chun a fheidhmeanna a fheidhmiú nó má bhí sé ciontach i mí-iompar tromchúiseach.
4. The European Parliament acting by means of regulations on its own initiative in accordance with a special legislative procedure shall, after seeking an opinion from the Commission and with the consent of the Council, lay down the regulations and general conditions governing the performance of the Ombudsman's duties.	3. Beidh an tOmbudsman neamhspleách ar fad i bhfeidhmiú a fheidhmeanna. I gcomhlíonadh a dhualgas dó, ní iarrfaidh sé ná ní ghlacfaidh sé teagaisc ó aon rialtas, ó aon institiúid eile, ó aon chomhlacht eile, ó aon oifig eile nó ó aon ghníomhaireacht eile.

(a) Member States shall be treated on a strictly equal footing as regards determination of the sequence of, and the time spent by, their nationals as members of the Commission; consequently, the difference between the total number of terms of office held by nationals of any given pair of Member States may never be more than one;	I gcomhréir le hAirteagal 17(5) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, roghnófar comhaltaí an Choimisiúin ar bhonn córais uainíochta arna bhunú d'aon toil ag an gComhairle Eorpach ar bhonn na bprionsabal a leanas:

(a) cuirfear an chóir chomhionann cheannann chéanna ar na Ballstáit i dtaca leis an ord san am agus an ré ina mbeidh a náisiúnaigh mar chomhaltaí den Choimisiún a chinneadh; dá bhrí sin, ní fhéadfaidh an difríocht idir líon iomlán na dtéarmaí oifige arna sealbhú ag náisiúnaigh aon dá Bhallstát ar leith bheith níos mó ná téarma amháin;
Article 245	(b) faoi réir phointe (a), beidh gach Coimisiún leanúnach comhdhéanta ar dhóigh a léireoidh go sásúil raon déimeagrafach agus geografach na mBallstát uile.

When entering upon their duties they shall give a solemn undertaking that, both during and after their term of office, they will respect the obligations arising therefrom and in particular their duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance, after they have ceased to hold office, of certain appointments or benefits. In the event of any breach of these obligations, the Court of Justice may, on application by the Council acting by a simple majority or the Commission, rule that the Member concerned be, according to the circumstances, either compulsorily retired in accordance with Article 247 or deprived of his right to a pension or other benefits in its stead.	Staonfaidh comhaltaí an Choimisiúin ó aon ghníomh nach luíonn le cineál a bhfeidhmeanna. Urramóidh na Ballstáit a neamhspleáchas agus ní fhéachfaidh siad le tionchar a oibriú orthu i gcomhlíonadh a gcúraimí dóibh.

Má dhéantar aon sárú ar na hoibleagáidí sin, féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, ar iarratas ón gComhairle ag gníomhú di trí thromlach simplí nó ón gCoimisiún, a rialú, de réir na n-imthosca, go bhfuil an comhalta áirithe le scor go héigeantach i gcomhréir le forálacha Airteagal 247 nó go bhfuil a cheart chun pinsin nó chun sochar eile in ionad pinsin le baint de.

Roghnófar comhaltaí na gcúirteanna speisialaithe as measc daoine nach bhfuil a neamhspleáchas inchurtha in amhras agus a bhfuil acu an ábaltacht is gá chun feidhmeanna breithiúnacha a fheidhmiú. Ceapfaidh an Chomhairle iad, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil.
Unless the regulation establishing the specialised court provides otherwise, the provisions of the Treaties relating to the Court of Justice of the European Union and the provisions of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union shall apply to the specialised courts. Title I of the Statute and Article 64 thereof shall in any case apply to the specialised courts.	Glacfaidh na cúirteanna speisialaithe a rialacha nós imeachta le comhaontú na Cúirte Breithiúnais.

The Commission shall deliver a reasoned opinion after each of the States concerned has been given the opportunity to submit its own case and its observations on the other party's case both orally and in writing.	Sula dtabharfaidh Ballstát caingean in aghaidh Ballstáit eile mar gheall ar shárú a líomhnaítear a bheith déanta ar oibleagáid faoi na Conarthaí, tabharfaidh sé an t-ábhar os comhair an Choimisiúin.
If the Commission has not delivered an opinion within three months of the date on which the matter was brought before it, the absence of such opinion shall not prevent the matter from being brought before the Court.	Tabharfaidh an Coimisiún tuairim réasúnaithe tar éis caoi a bheith tugtha do gach Stát dá mbeidh i gceist a chás féin agus a ráiteas ar chás an pháirtí eile a chur faoi bhráid an Choimisiúin ó bhéal agus i scríbhinn.

Article 282	AN BANC CEANNAIS EORPACH
1. The European Central Bank, together with the national central banks, shall constitute the European System of Central Banks (ESCB).

Airteagal 282
2. The ESCB shall be governed by the decision-making bodies of the European Central Bank. The primary objective of the ESCB shall be to maintain price stability. Without prejudice to that objective, it shall support the general economic policies in the Union in order to contribute to the achievement of the latter's objectives.	1. Comhdhéanfar an Córas Eorpach Banc Ceannais (CEBC) den Bhanc Ceannais Eorpach i dteannta leis na bainc cheannais náisiúnta. Déanfaidh an Banc Ceannais Eorpach i dteannta le bainc cheannais náisiúnta na mBallstát sin a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu, a chomhdhéanann an tEurochóras, beartas airgeadaíochta an Aontais a sheoladh.
3. The European Central Bank shall have legal personality. It alone may authorise the issue of the euro. It shall be independent in the exercise of its powers and in the management of its finances. Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and the governments of the Member States shall respect that independence.	2. Is iad comhlachtaí cinnteoireachta an Bhainc Cheannais Eorpaigh a rialóidh an CEBC. Beidh de chuspóir príomhúil ag an CEBC cobhsaíocht praghsanna a choimeád ar bun. Gan dochar don chuspóir sin, tacóidh sé leis na beartais eacnamaíocha ghinearálta san Aontas d'fhonn rannchuidiú le gnóthú chuspóirí an Aontais.
4. The European Central Bank shall adopt such measures as are necessary to carry out its tasks in accordance with Articles 127 to 133, with Article 138, and with the conditions laid down in the Statute of the ESCB and of the ECB.

Beidh pearsantacht dhlítheanach ag an mBanc Ceannais Eorpach. Eisean amháin a fhéadfaidh eisiúint an euro a údarú. Beidh sé neamhspleách i bhfeidhmiú a chumhachtaí agus i mbainistiú a chúrsaí airgeadais. Déanfaidh institiúidí, comhlachtaí, oifigí agus gníomhaireachtaí an Aontais agus rialtais na mBallstát an neamhspleáchas sin a urramú.
5. Within the areas falling within its responsibilities, the European Central Bank shall be consulted on all proposed Union acts, and all proposals for regulation at national level, and may give an opinion.	4. Glacfaidh an Banc Ceannais Eorpach pé bearta is gá chun a chúraimí a chur i gcrích i gcomhréir le hAirteagail 127 go 133 agus le hAirteagal 138, agus leis na coinníollacha atá socraithe i Reacht an CEBC agus an BCE.

Lena linn sin, déanfaidh sí tuarascáil ach go háirithe ar aon chásanna neamhrialtachta.
The audit of expenditure shall be carried out on the basis both of commitments undertaken and payments made.	Iniúchfar an t-ioncam ar bhonn na suimeanna is dlite arna suíomh agus ar bhonn na suimeanna arna n-íoc iarbhír leis an Aontas.

In the Member States the audit shall be carried out in liaison with national audit bodies or, if these do not have the necessary powers, with the competent national departments. The Court of Auditors and the national audit bodies of the Member States shall cooperate in a spirit of trust while maintaining their independence. These bodies or departments shall inform the Court of Auditors whether they intend to take part in the audit.	Féadfar an iniúchóireacht sin a dhéanamh roimh dhúnadh na gcuntas don bhliain airgeadais atá i gceist.
The other institutions of the Union, any bodies, offices or agencies managing revenue or expenditure on behalf of the Union, any natural or legal person in receipt of payments from the budget, and the national audit bodies or, if these do not have the necessary powers, the competent national departments, shall forward to the Court of Auditors, at its request, any document or information necessary to carry out its task.	3.

Gníomhóidh sí d'aon toil sna réimsí sin inar gá aontoilíocht chun gníomh Aontais a ghlacadh. Déanfaidh an Coimisiún, agus an Banc Ceannais Eorpach sna cásanna sonracha dá bhforáiltear sna Conarthaí, moltaí a ghlacadh.

Déanfaidh an tAontas agus na Ballstáit calaois agus aon ghníomhaíochtaí neamhdhlíthiúla eile a dhéanann díobháil do leasanna airgeadais an Aontais a chomhrac trí bhearta a ghlacfar i gcomhréir leis an Airteagal seo agus a bheidh mar chosc agus a thabharfaidh cosaint éifeachtúil sna Ballstáit agus in institiúidí, i gcomhlachtaí, in oifigí agus i ngníomhaireachtaí an Aontais.
3. Without prejudice to other provisions of the Treaties, the Member States shall coordinate their action aimed at protecting the financial interests of the Union against fraud. To this end they shall organise, together with the Commission, close and regular cooperation between the competent authorities.	2. Glacfaidh na Ballstáit na bearta céanna chun calaois a chomhrac a dhéanann díobháil do leasanna airgeadais an Aontais is a ghlacann siad chun calaois a chomhrac a dhéanann díobháil dá leasanna airgeadais féin.
4. The European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, after consulting the Court of Auditors, shall adopt the necessary measures in the fields of the prevention of and fight against fraud affecting the financial interests of the Union with a view to affording effective and equivalent protection in the Member States and in all the Union's institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.	3. Gan dochar d'fhorálacha eile na gConarthaí, comhordóidh na Ballstáit a ngníomhaíocht chun leasanna airgeadais an Aontais a chosaint i gcoinne na calaoise. Chuige sin, eagróidh siad, i dteannta leis an gCoimisiún, dlúthchomhar rialta idir na húdaráis inniúla.
5. The Commission, in cooperation with Member States, shall each year submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the measures taken for the implementation of this Article.	4. Glacfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gCúirt Iniúchóirí, na bearta is gá maidir le calaois a dhéanann díobháil do leasanna airgeadais an Aontais a chosc agus a chomhrac d'fhonn cosaint éifeachtúil choibhéiseach a thabhairt sna Ballstáit agus in institiúidí, i gcomhlachtaí, in oifigí agus i ngníomhaireachtaí an Aontais.
TITLE III	5. Tíolacfaidh an Coimisiún, i gcomhar leis na Ballstáit, tuarascáil do Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus don Chomhairle gach bliain ar na bearta a glacadh chun an tAirteagal seo a chur chun feidhme.

(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 326
Any enhanced cooperation shall comply with the Treaties and Union law.	(sean-Airteagail 27a go 27e, 40 go 40b agus 43 go 45 CAE agus sean-Airteagail 11 agus 11a CCE)
Such cooperation shall not undermine the internal market or economic, social and territorial cohesion. It shall not constitute a barrier to or discrimination in trade between Member States, nor shall it distort competition between them.	Comhlíonfaidh aon chomhar feabhsaithe Conarthaí an Aontais agus dlí an Aontais.
Article 327	Ní fhéadfaidh an comhar sin dochar a dhéanamh don mhargadh inmheánach ná don chomhtháthú eacnamaíoch, sóisialta agus críochach. Ní bheidh sé ina bhacainn ar an trádáil ná ní dhéanfaidh sé idirdhealú sa trádáil idir Bhallstáit agus ní shaobhfaidh sé an iomaíocht eatarthu.
(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 327
Any enhanced cooperation shall respect the competences, rights and obligations of those Member States which do not participate in it.

Article 328	Comhlíonfaidh aon chomhar feabhsaithe inniúlachtaí, cearta agus oibleagáidí na mBallstát sin nach mbeidh rannpháirteach ann. Ní chuirfidh na Ballstáit sin bac ar a chur chun feidhme ag na Ballstáit rannpháirteacha.
(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 328
1. When enhanced cooperation is being established, it shall be open to all Member States, subject to compliance with any conditions of participation laid down by the authorising decision. It shall also be open to them at any other time, subject to compliance with the acts already adopted within that framework, in addition to those conditions.	(sean-Airteagail 27a go 27e, 40 go 40b agus 43 go 45 CAE agus sean-Airteagail 11 agus 11a CCE)
The Commission and the Member States participating in enhanced cooperation shall ensure that they promote participation by as many Member States as possible.	1. Nuair a bheidh an comhar feabhsaithe á chur ar bun, beidh sé ar oscailt do na Ballstáit uile, faoi réir aon choinníollacha rannpháirtíochta arna leagan síos leis an gcinneadh um údarú a chomhlíonadh. Beidh sé ar oscailt dóibh, tráth ar bith eile freisin, faoi réir chomhlíonadh na ngníomhartha arna nglacadh cheana faoina chuimsiú sin, de bhreis ar na coinníollacha sin.
2. The Commission and, where appropriate, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy shall keep the European Parliament and the Council regularly informed regarding developments in enhanced cooperation.	Áiritheoidh an Coimisiún agus na Ballstáit a bheidh rannpháirteach sa chomhar feabhsaithe go ndéanfaidh siad rannpháirtíocht a oiread Ballstát agus is féidir a chur chun cinn.
Article 329	2. Déanfaidh an Coimisiún agus, nuair is iomchuí, Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála, Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle a choinneáil ar an eolas go tráthrialta faoi fhorbairtí sa chomhar feabhsaithe.
(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 329
1. Member States which wish to establish enhanced cooperation between themselves in one of the areas covered by the Treaties, with the exception of fields of exclusive competence and the common foreign and security policy, shall address a request to the Commission, specifying the scope and objectives of the enhanced cooperation proposed. The Commission may submit a proposal to the Council to that effect. In the event of the Commission not submitting a proposal, it shall inform the Member States concerned of the reasons for not doing so.	(sean-Airteagail 27a go 27e, 40 go 40b agus 43 go 45 CAE agus sean-Airteagail 11 agus 11a CCE)
Authorisation to proceed with the enhanced cooperation referred to in the first subparagraph shall be granted by the Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.	1. Ballstáit ar mian leo comhar feabhsaithe a bhunú eatarthu i gceann de na réimsí atá folaithe sna Conarthaí, seachas réimsí ina bhfuil inniúlacht eisiach agus an comhbheartas eachtrach agus slándála, díreoidh siad chuig an gCoimisiún iarraidh a shonróidh raon feidhme agus cuspóirí an chomhair fheabhsaithe arna bheartú. Féadfaidh an Coimisiún togra chuige sin a thíolacadh don Chomhairle. Mura ndéanfaidh an Coimisiún togra a thíolacadh, cuirfidh sé na Ballstáit i dtrácht ar an eolas faoi na cúiseanna nár thíolaic sé togra.
2. The request of the Member States which wish to establish enhanced cooperation between themselves within the framework of the common foreign and security policy shall be addressed to the Council. It shall be forwarded to the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who shall give an opinion on whether the enhanced cooperation proposed is consistent with the Union's common foreign and security policy, and to the Commission, which shall give its opinion in particular on whether the enhanced cooperation proposed is consistent with other Union policies. It shall also be forwarded to the European Parliament for information.	Déanfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún agus tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa, an t-údarú chun dul ar aghaidh leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír a dheonú.
Authorisation to proceed with enhanced cooperation shall be granted by a decision of the Council acting unanimously.	2. Díreofar chuig an gComhairle an iarraidh ó na Ballstáit ar mian leo comhar feabhsaithe faoi chuimsiú an chomhbheartais eachtraigh agus slándála a bhunú eatarthu. Déanfar an iarraidh a chur ar aghaidh chuig Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus do Bheartas Slándála, a thabharfaidh tuairim an bhfuil an comhar feabhsaithe arna bheartú comhchuí le comhbheartas eachtrach agus slándála an Aontais, agus chuig an gCoimisiún, a thabharfaidh a thuairim go háirithe an bhfuil an comhar feabhsaithe arna bheartú comhchuí le beartais eile an Aontais. Cuirfear ar aghaidh chuig Parlaimint na hEorpa í freisin mar eolas.
Article 330	Is le cinneadh ón gComhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil, a dheonófar an t-údarú chun dul ar aghaidh leis an gcomhar feabhsaithe.
(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 330
All members of the Council may participate in its deliberations, but only members of the Council representing the Member States participating in enhanced cooperation shall take part in the vote.	(sean-Airteagail 27a go 27e, 40 go 40b agus 43 go 45 CAE agus sean-Airteagail 11 agus 11a CCE)
Unanimity shall be constituted by the votes of the representatives of the participating Member States only.	Féadfaidh gach comhalta den Chomhairle a bheith rannpháirteach ina pléití, ach ní ghlacfaidh páirt sa vótáil ach na comhaltaí sin amháin den Chomhairle a ionadaíonn do na Ballstáit atá rannpháirteach sa chomhar feabhsaithe.
A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3).	Is éard is aontoilíocht ann vótaí ionadaithe na mBallstát rannpháirteach amháin.
Article 331	Saineofar an tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3).
(ex Articles 27a to 27e, 40 to 40b and 43 to 45 TEU and ex Articles 11 and 11a TEC)	Airteagal 331
1. Any Member State which wishes to participate in enhanced cooperation in progress in one of the areas referred to in Article 329(1) shall notify its intention to the Council and the Commission.	(sean-Airteagail 27a go 27e, 40 go 40b agus 43 go 45 CAE agus sean-Airteagail 11 agus 11a CCE)
The Commission shall, within four months of the date of receipt of the notification, confirm the participation of the Member State concerned. It shall note where necessary that the conditions of participation have been fulfilled and shall adopt any transitional measures necessary with regard to the application of the acts already adopted within the framework of enhanced cooperation.	1. Aon Bhallstát ar mian leis bheith rannpháirteach sa chomhar feabhsaithe a bheidh ar siúl i gceann de na réimsí dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 329(1), cuirfidh sé a intinn in iúl don Chomhairle agus don Choimisiún.
However, if the Commission considers that the conditions of participation have not been fulfilled, it shall indicate the arrangements to be adopted to fulfil those conditions and shall set a deadline for re-examining the request. On the expiry of that deadline, it shall re-examine the request, in accordance with the procedure set out in the second subparagraph. If the Commission considers that the conditions of participation have still not been met, the Member State concerned may refer the matter to the Council, which shall decide on the request. The Council shall act in accordance with Article 330. It may also adopt the transitional measures referred to in the second subparagraph on a proposal from the Commission.	Laistigh de cheithre mhí ó dháta an fhógra a fháil, daingneoidh an Coimisiún rannpháirtíocht an Bhallstáit i dtrácht. Suífidh sé más gá go bhfuil na coinníollacha rannpháirtíochta comhallta agus glacfaidh sé aon bhearta idirthréimhseacha is gá maidir le cur i bhfeidhm na ngníomhartha arna nglacadh cheana faoi chuimsiú an chomhair fheabhsaithe.
2. Any Member State which wishes to participate in enhanced cooperation in progress in the framework of the common foreign and security policy shall notify its intention to the Council, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission.	Ar a shon sin, má mheasann an Coimisiún nach bhfuil na coinníollacha rannpháirtíochta comhallta, sonróidh sé na socruithe atá le glacadh chun na coinníollacha sin a chomhall agus socróidh sé teorainn ama chun an iarraidh ar rannpháirtíocht a athscrúdú. Ar an teorainn ama sin a bheith caite, athscrúdóidh sé an iarraidh i gcomhréir leis an nós imeachta atá leagtha amach sa dara fomhír. Má mheasann an Coimisiún nach bhfuil na coinníollacha rannpháirtíochta comhalta fós, féadfaidh an Ballstát i dtrácht an cheist a tharchur chuig an gComhairle a ghlacfaidh cinneadh ar an iarraidh. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 330. Féadfaidh sí freisin, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, na bearta idirthréimhseacha dá dtagraítear sa dara fomhír a ghlacadh.
The Council shall confirm the participation of the Member State concerned, after consulting the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and after noting, where necessary, that the conditions of participation have been fulfilled. The Council, on a proposal from the High Representative, may also adopt any transitional measures necessary with regard to the application of the acts already adopted within the framework of enhanced cooperation. However, if the Council considers that the conditions of participation have not been fulfilled, it shall indicate the arrangements to be adopted to fulfil those conditions and shall set a deadline for re-examining the request for participation.	2. Gach Ballstát ar mian leis bheith rannpháirteach sa chomhar feabhsaithe a bheidh ar siúl faoi chuimsiú an chomhbheartais eachtraigh agus slándála, cuirfidh sé a intinn in iúl don Chomhairle, d'Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála agus don Choimisiún.
For the purposes of this paragraph, the Council shall act unanimously and in accordance with Article 330.	Daingneoidh an Chomhairle rannpháirtíocht an Bhallstáit i gceist, tar éis dul i gcomhairle le hArdionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála agus tar éis a shuíomh, más gá, go bhfuil na coinníollacha rannpháirtíochta comhalta. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ó Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála, aon bhearta idirthréimhseacha is gá a ghlacadh maidir le cur i bhfeidhm na ngníomhartha atá glactha cheana faoi chuimsiú an chomhair fheabhsaithe. Má mheasann an Chomhairle, áfach, nach bhfuil na coinníollacha rannpháirtíochta comhalta, sonróidh sí na socruithe a bheidh le glacadh chun na coinníollacha sin a chomhall agus socróidh sí teorainn ama chun an iarraidh ar rannpháirtíocht a athscrúdú.

ON THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY	PRÓTACAL (Uimh. 2)
THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES,	MAIDIR LE PRIONSABAIL NA COIMHDEACHTA AGUS NA COMHRÉIREACHTA A CHUR I bhFEIDHM
WISHING to ensure that decisions are taken as closely as possible to the citizens of the Union,	TÁ NA hARDPHÁIRTITHE CONARTHACHA,
RESOLVED to establish the conditions for the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, as laid down in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union, and to establish a system for monitoring the application of those principles,	ÓS MIAN LEO a áirithiú go nglacfar cinntí ar leibhéal chomh gar agus is féidir do shaoránaigh an Aontais,
HAVE AGREED UPON the following provisions, which shall be annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union:	AR A BHEITH BEARTAITHE ACU na coinníollacha maidir le cur i bhfeidhm phrionsabail na coimhdeachta agus na comhréireachta, mar atá siad leagtha síos in Airteagal 5 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, a bhunú, agus córas a bhunú chun faireachán a dhéanamh ar chur i bhfeidhm na bprionsabal sin,
Article 1	TAR ÉIS COMHAONTÚ ar na forálacha seo a leanas, a chuirfear i gceangal leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus leis an gConradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh:
Each institution shall ensure constant respect for the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, as laid down in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union.	Airteagal 1
Article 2	Féachfaidh gach institiúid chuige go ndéanfar prionsabail na coimhdeachta agus na comhréireachta, mar atá siad leagtha síos in Airteagal 5 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, a urramú i gcónaí.
Before proposing legislative acts, the Commission shall consult widely. Such consultations shall, where appropriate, take into account the regional and local dimension of the action envisaged. In cases of exceptional urgency, the Commission shall not conduct such consultations. It shall give reasons for its decision in its proposal.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	Sula ndéanfaidh sé gníomh reachtach a mholadh, glacfaidh an Coimisiún comhairle go forleathan. Cuirfidh na comhairliúcháin sin san áireamh, más iomchuí, éirim réigiúnach agus áitiúil na gníomhaíochta arna beartú. Má tá práinn eisceachtúil ann, ní ghlacfaidh an Coimisiún comhairle amhlaidh. Tabharfaidh sé cúiseanna leis an gcinneadh sin ina thogra.
For the purposes of this Protocol, "draft legislative acts" shall mean proposals from the Commission, initiatives from a group of Member States, initiatives from the European Parliament, requests from the Court of Justice, recommendations from the European Central Bank and requests from the European Investment Bank, for the adoption of a legislative act.	Airteagal 3
Article 4	Chun críocha an Phrótacail seo, ciallaíonn "dréachtghníomhartha reachtacha" tograí ón gCoimisiún, tionscnaimh ó ghrúpa Ballstát, tionscnaimh ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa, iarrataí ón gCúirt Bhreithiúnais, moltaí ón mBanc Ceannais Eorpach agus iarrataí ón mBanc Eorpach Infheistíochta d'fhonn gníomh reachtach a ghlacadh.
The Commission shall forward its draft legislative acts and its amended drafts to national Parliaments at the same time as to the Union legislator.	Airteagal 4
The European Parliament shall forward its draft legislative acts and its amended drafts to national Parliaments.	Cuirfidh an Coimisiún a dhréachtghníomhartha reachtacha agus a dhréachtaí leasaithe chuig na Parlaimintí náisiúnta san am céanna a gcuirfear chuig reachtóir an Aontais iad.
The Council shall forward draft legislative acts originating from a group of Member States, the Court of Justice, the European Central Bank or the European Investment Bank and amended drafts to national Parliaments.	Cuirfidh Parlaimint na hEorpa a dréachtghníomhartha reachtacha agus a dréachtaí leasaithe chuig na Parlaimintí náisiúnta.
Upon adoption, legislative resolutions of the European Parliament and positions of the Council shall be forwarded by them to national Parliaments.	Cuirfidh an Chomhairle chuig na Parlaimintí náisiúnta na dréachtghníomhartha reachtacha a eascraíonn ó ghrúpa Ballstát, ón gCúirt Bhreithiúnais, ón mBanc Ceannais Eorpach nó ón mBanc Eorpach Infheistíochta, mar aon leis na dréachtaí leasaithe.
Article 5	Ar iad a ghlacadh, cuirfidh Parlaimint na hEorpa a rúin reachtacha chuig na Parlaimintí náisiúnta agus cuirfidh an Chomhairle a cuid seasamh chucu.
Draft legislative acts shall be justified with regard to the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. Any draft legislative act should contain a detailed statement making it possible to appraise compliance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. This statement should contain some assessment of the proposal's financial impact and, in the case of a directive, of its implications for the rules to be put in place by Member States, including, where necessary, the regional legislation. The reasons for concluding that a Union objective can be better achieved at Union level shall be substantiated by qualitative and, wherever possible, quantitative indicators. Draft legislative acts shall take account of the need for any burden, whether financial or administrative, falling upon the Union, national governments, regional or local authorities, economic operators and citizens, to be minimised and commensurate with the objective to be achieved.	Airteagal 5
Article 6	Déanfar na dréachtghníomhartha reachtacha a fhírinniú i ndáil le prionsabail na coimhdeachta agus na comhréireachta. Is cóir ráiteas mionsonraithe a bheith i ngach dréachtghníomh reachtach ionas gur féidir a mheas an ndéantar prionsabail na coimhdeachta agus na comhréireachta a chomhlíonadh. Is cóir a bheith sa ráiteas sin freisin measúnú áirithe ar iarmhairt airgeadais an togra agus, más treoir atá ann, measúnú ar a himpleachtaí maidir leis na rialacha atá le cur chun feidhme ag na Ballstáit, lena n-áirítear, más gá, an reachtaíocht réigiúnach. Tabharfar táscairí cáilíochtúla, agus, nuair is féidir, táscairí cainníochtúla mar bhunús leis na cúiseanna ar dá mbun a chonclúidítear gur fearr is féidir cuspóir de chuid an Aontais a ghnóthú ar leibhéal an Aontais. Déanfar aird a thabhairt leis na dréachtghníomhartha reachtacha ar an ngá atá ann aon ualach, bíodh sé ina ualach airgeadais nó ina ualach riarthach, a bheidh ar an Aontas, ar rialtais náisiúnta, ar údaráis réigiúnacha nó áitiúla, ar oibreoirí eacnamaíocha agus ar shaoránaigh, a íosmhéadú agus é a bheith comhchuimseach leis an gcuspóir a bheidh le gnóthú.
Any national Parliament or any chamber of a national Parliament may, within eight weeks from the date of transmission of a draft legislative act, in the official languages of the Union, send to the Presidents of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission a reasoned opinion stating why it considers that the draft in question does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity. It will be for each national Parliament or each chamber of a national Parliament to consult, where appropriate, regional parliaments with legislative powers.	Airteagal 6
If the draft legislative act originates from a group of Member States, the President of the Council shall forward the opinion to the governments of those Member States.	Féadfaidh aon Pharlaimint náisiúnta nó aon seomra de chuid Parlaiminte náisiúnta, laistigh d'ocht seachtaine ón dáta a gcuirfear dréachtghníomh reachtach i dteangacha oifigiúla an Aontais Eorpaigh chuig an bParlaimint nó chuig an seomra sin, tuairim réasúnaithe a chur chuig Uachtarán Pharlaimint na hEorpa, Uachtarán na Comhairle agus Uachtarán an Choimisiúin á rá cad chuige a measann sé nó sí nach gcomhlíonann an dréacht i gceist prionsabal na coimhdeachta. Is faoi gach Parlaimint náisiúnta nó faoi gach seomra de chuid Parlaiminte náisiúnta dul i gcomhairle, nuair is iomchuí, le Parlaimintí réigiúnacha a bhfuil cumhachtaí reachtacha acu.
If the draft legislative act originates from the Court of Justice, the European Central Bank or the European Investment Bank, the President of the Council shall forward the opinion to the institution or body concerned.	Más ó ghrúpa Ballstát a eascraíonn an dréachtghníomh reachtach, cuirfidh Uachtarán na Comhairle an tuairim chuig rialtais na mBallstát sin.
Article 7	Más ón gCúirt Bhreithiúnais, ón mBanc Ceannais Eorpach nó ón mBanc Eorpach Infheistíochta a eascraíonn an dréachtghníomh reachtach, cuirfidh Uachtarán na Comhairle an tuairim chuig an institiúid nó chuig an gcomhlacht i dtrácht.
1. The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, and, where appropriate, the group of Member States, the Court of Justice, the European Central Bank or the European Investment Bank, if the draft legislative act originates from them, shall take account of the reasoned opinions issued by national Parliaments or by a chamber of a national Parliament.	Airteagal 7
Each national Parliament shall have two votes, shared out on the basis of the national Parliamentary system. In the case of a bicameral Parliamentary system, each of the two chambers shall have one vote.	1. Déanfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chomhairle agus an Coimisiún, agus más iomchuí, an grúpa Ballstát, an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, an Banc Ceannais Eorpach nó an Banc Eorpach Infheistíochta, más uathu a eascraíonn an dréachtghníomh reachtach, na tuairimí réasúnaithe ó na Parlaimintí náisiúnta nó ó sheomra de Pharlaimint náisiúnta a chur san áireamh.
2. Where reasoned opinions on a draft legislative act's non-compliance with the principle of subsidiarity represent at least one third of all the votes allocated to the national Parliaments in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 1, the draft must be reviewed. This threshold shall be a quarter in the case of a draft legislative act submitted on the basis of Article 76 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union on the area of freedom, security and justice.	Beidh dhá vóta ag gach Parlaimint náisiúnta, arna gcionroinnt ar bhonn an chórais pharlaimintigh náisiúnta. Má tá córas parlaiminteach ann ina bhfuil dhá sheomra, beidh vóta amháin ag gach ceann den dá sheomra.
After such review, the Commission or, where appropriate, the group of Member States, the European Parliament, the Court of Justice, the European Central Bank or the European Investment Bank, if the draft legislative act originates from them, may decide to maintain, amend or withdraw the draft. Reasons must be given for this decision.	2. Nuair a bhíonn tuairimí réasúnaithe á rá nach gcomhlíonann dréachtghníomh reachtach prionsabal na coimhdeachta in ionannas le trian ar a laghad de na vótaí uile arna gcionroinnt ar na Parlaimintí náisiúnta i gcomhréir leis an dara fomhír de mhír 1, ní mór an dréacht a athbhreithniú. Beidh an tairseach sin in ionannas leis an gceathrú cuid más dréachtghníomh reachtach é arna thíolacadh ar bhonn Airteagal 76 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir leis an limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais.
3. Furthermore, under the ordinary legislative procedure, where reasoned opinions on the non-compliance of a proposal for a legislative act with the principle of subsidiarity represent at least a simple majority of the votes allocated to the national Parliaments in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 1, the proposal must be reviewed. After such review, the Commission may decide to maintain, amend or withdraw the proposal.	Ar athbhreithniú den sórt sin a dhéanamh, féadfaidh an Coimisiún nó, más iomchuí, an grúpa Ballstát, Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, an Banc Ceannais Eorpach nó an Banc Eorpach Infheistíochta, más uathu a eascraíonn an dréachtghníomh reachtach, a chinneadh an dréacht a choimeád ar bun, a leasú nó a tharraingt siar. Ní mór cúiseanna a thabhairt don chinneadh sin.
If it chooses to maintain the proposal, the Commission will have, in a reasoned opinion, to justify why it considers that the proposal complies with the principle of subsidiarity. This reasoned opinion, as well as the reasoned opinions of the national Parliaments, will have to be submitted to the Union legislator, for consideration in the procedure:	3. Ina theannta sin, faoi chuimsiú an ghnáthnós imeachta reachtaigh, nuair a bhíonn tuairimí réasúnaithe á rá nach gcomhlíonann togra do ghníomh reachtach prionsabal na coimhdeachta in ionannas le tromlach simplí na vótaí uile arna gcionroinnt ar na Parlaimintí náisiúnta i gcomhréir leis an dara fomhír de mhír 1, ní mór an togra a athbhreithniú. Ar athbhreithniú den sórt sin a dhéanamh, féadfaidh an Coimisiún a chinneadh an togra a choimeád ar bun, a leasú nó a tharraingt siar.
(a) before concluding the first reading, the legislator (the European Parliament and the Council) shall consider whether the legislative proposal is compatible with the principle of subsidiarity, taking particular account of the reasons expressed and shared by the majority of national Parliaments as well as the reasoned opinion of the Commission;	Má roghnaíonn an Coimisiún an togra a choimeád ar bun, beidh air a fhírinniú i dtuairim réasúnaithe cad chuige a measann sé go gcomhlíonann an togra prionsabal na coimhdeachta. Ní foláir an tuairim réasúnaithe sin maille leis na tuairimí réasúnaithe ó na Parlaimintí náisiúnta a chur faoi bhráid reachtóir an Aontais chun go dtabharfar aird orthu faoi chuimsiú an nós imeachta:
(b) if, by a majority of 55 % of the members of the Council or a majority of the votes cast in the European Parliament, the legislator is of the opinion that the proposal is not compatible with the principle of subsidiarity, the legislative proposal shall not be given further consideration.	(a) sula gcríochnófar an chéad léamh, féachfaidh an reachtóir (Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle) an gcomhlíonann an togra reachtach prionsabal na coimhdeachta, agus na cúiseanna a agraíonn agus a pháirtíonn tromlach na bParlaimintí náisiúnta agus an tuairim réasúnaithe ón gCoimisiún á gcur san áireamh aige;
Article 8	(b) más rud é gurb é tuairim an reachtóra, trí thromlach 55 % de chomhaltaí na Comhairle nó trí thromlach na vótaí arna gcaitheamh i bParlaimint na hEorpa, nach gcomhlíonann an togra prionsabal na coimhdeachta, ní leanfar leis an togra reachtach a phlé.
The Court of Justice of the European Union shall have jurisdiction in actions on grounds of infringement of the principle of subsidiarity by a legislative act, brought in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 263 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union by Member States, or notified by them in accordance with their legal order on behalf of their national Parliament or a chamber thereof.

JUDGES AND ADVOCATES-GENERAL	TEIDEAL I
Article 2	BREITHIÚNA AGUS ABHCÓIDÍ GINEARÁLTA
Before taking up his duties each Judge shall, before the Court of Justice sitting in open court, take an oath to perform his duties impartially and conscientiously and to preserve the secrecy of the deliberations of the Court.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	Sula rachaidh sé i mbun a dhualgas glacfaidh gach Breitheamh mionn, os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais, ina suí di i gcúirt oscailte, go gcomhlíonfaidh sé a dhualgais go neamhchlaon coinsiasach agus go gcoimeádfadh sé plé na Cúirte faoi rún.
The Judges shall be immune from legal proceedings. After they have ceased to hold office, they shall continue to enjoy immunity in respect of acts performed by them in their official capacity, including words spoken or written.	Airteagal 3
The Court of Justice, sitting as a full Court, may waive the immunity. If the decision concerns a member of the General Court or of a specialised court, the Court shall decide after consulting the court concerned.	Beidh na breithiúna díolmhaithe ó imeachtaí dlíthiúla. Tar éis dóibh scor dá n-oifig, leanfaidh siad de dhíolúine a bheith acu i leith gníomhartha a rinne siad ina gcáil oifigiúil, lena n-áirítear a bhfocail labhartha nó scríofa.
Where immunity has been waived and criminal proceedings are instituted against a Judge, he shall be tried, in any of the Member States, only by the court competent to judge the members of the highest national judiciary.	Féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, ina suí di mar chúirt iomlán, an díolúine a tharscaoileadh. Má bhaineann an bhreith le comhalta den Chúirt Ghinearálta nó le comhalta de chúirt speisialaithe, tabharfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gcúirt lena mbaineann.
Articles 11 to 14 and Article 17 of the Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Union shall apply to the Judges, Advocates-General, Registrar and Assistant Rapporteurs of the Court of Justice of the European Union, without prejudice to the provisions relating to immunity from legal proceedings of Judges which are set out in the preceding paragraphs.	I gcás inar tarscaoileadh díolúine agus ina dtionscnófar imeachtaí coiriúla i gcoinne Breithimh, ní intriailte é, in aon cheann de na Ballstáit, ach amháin ag an gCúirt atá inniúil ar bhreithiúnas a thabhairt ar na breithiúna is airde dlínse náisiúnta.
Article 4	Beidh Airteagail 11 go 14 agus Airteagal 17 den Phrótacal ar phribhléidí agus díolúintí an Aontais Eorpaigh infheidhme ar Bhreithiúna, Abhcóidí Ginearálta, Cláraitheoir agus Rapóirtéirí Cúnta Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh, gan dochar do na forálacha a bhaineann le Breithiúna a bheith díolmhaithe ó imeachtaí dlíthiúla agus atá leagtha amach sna míreanna sin roimhe seo.
The Judges may not hold any political or administrative office.	Airteagal 4
They may not engage in any occupation, whether gainful or not, unless exemption is exceptionally granted by the Council, acting by a simple majority.	Ní fhéadfaidh na Breithiúna oifig pholaitíochta ná riaracháin a shealbhú.
When taking up their duties, they shall give a solemn undertaking that, both during and after their term of office, they will respect the obligations arising therefrom, in particular the duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance, after they have ceased to hold office, of certain appointments or benefits.	Ní fhéadfaidh siad bheith ag gabháil d'aon slí bheatha, sochrach ná neamhshochrach, mura dtabharfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach simplí, díolúine d'eisceacht.
Any doubt on this point shall be settled by decision of the Court of Justice. If the decision concerns a member of the General Court or of a specialised court, the Court shall decide after consulting the court concerned.	Nuair a rachaidh siad i mbun a ndualgas, tabharfaidh siad gealltanas sollúnta go n-urramóidh siad, le linn a dtéarma oifige agus ina dhiaidh sin, na hoibleagáidí a bheidh orthu de bharr na hoifige sin, go háirithe an dualgas chun bheith ionraic discréideach maidir le ceapacháin nó sochair áirithe a ghlacadh tar éis dóibh scor dá n-oifig.
Article 5	Déanfar aon amhras ina thaobh sin a shocrú le breith ón gCúirt Bhreithiúnais. Má bhaineann an bhreith le comhalta den Chúirt Ghinearálta nó le comhalta de chúirt speisialaithe, tabharfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gcúirt lena mbaineann.
Apart from normal replacement, or death, the duties of a Judge shall end when he resigns.	Airteagal 5
Where a Judge resigns, his letter of resignation shall be addressed to the President of the Court of Justice for transmission to the President of the Council. Upon this notification a vacancy shall arise on the bench.	Amach ó ghnáthathrú ar Bhreithiúna, nó i gcás breitheamh d'fháil bháis, críochnóidh dualgais Bhreithimh ar é d'éirí as oifig.
Save where Article 6 applies, a Judge shall continue to hold office until his successor takes up his duties.	Nuair a éireoidh Breitheamh as oifig, díreofar a litir ag éirí as oifig chuig Uachtarán na Cúirte Breithiúnais lena tarchur chuig Uachtarán na Comhairle. Ar an bhfógra sin a thabhairt beidh folúntas ar an mBinse.
Article 6	Ach amháin i gcás ina mbeidh feidhm ag Airteagal 6, fanfaidh Breitheamh i seilbh a oifige go dtí go rachaidh a chomharba i mbun a dhualgas.
A Judge may be deprived of his office or of his right to a pension or other benefits in its stead only if, in the unanimous opinion of the Judges and Advocates-General of the Court of Justice, he no longer fulfils the requisite conditions or meets the obligations arising from his office. The Judge concerned shall not take part in any such deliberations. If the person concerned is a member of the General Court or of a specialised court, the Court shall decide after consulting the court concerned.	Airteagal 6
The Registrar of the Court shall communicate the decision of the Court to the President of the European Parliament and to the President of the Commission and shall notify it to the President of the Council.	Ní fhéadfar a oifig ná a cheart chun pinsin nó sochar eile ina ionad sin a bhaint de Bhreitheamh, ach amháin más rud é, i dtuairim d'aon toil Bhreithiúna agus Abhcóidí Ginearálta na Cúirte Breithiúnais, nach bhfuil coinníollacha riachtanacha a oifige á gcomhlíonadh nó na hoibleagáidí a ghabhann léi á bhfreastal aige a thuilleadh. Ní ghlacfaidh an Breitheamh a bheidh i gceist páirt in aon phlé den sórt sin. Más comhalta den Chúirt Ghinearálta nó de chúirt speisialaithe an duine lena mbaineann, tabharfaidh an Chúirt breith tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gcúirt lena mbaineann.
In the case of a decision depriving a Judge of his office, a vacancy shall arise on the bench upon this latter notification.	Cuirfidh Cláraitheoir na Cúirte breith na Cúirte in iúl d'Uachtarán Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus d'Uachtarán an Choimisiúin agus tabharfaidh sé fógra faoi d'Uachtarán na Comhairle.
Article 7	I gcás breithe ag baint a oifige de Bhreitheamh, beidh folúntas ar an mBinse nuair a thabharfar an fógra sin is déanaí atá luaite.
A Judge who is to replace a member of the Court whose term of office has not expired shall be appointed for the remainder of his predecessor’s term.	Airteagal 7
Article 8	Breitheamh a ghabhfaidh ionad comhalta den Chúirt nach bhfuil a théarma oifige caite, ceapfar é go ceann a bhfuil fágtha de théarma a réamhtheachtaí.
The provisions of Articles 2 to 7 shall apply to the Advocates-General.	Airteagal 8
TITLE II	Bainfidh forálacha Airteagail 2 go 7 leis na hAbhcóidí Ginearálta.

Article 13	Beidh oifigigh agus seirbhísigh eile ag gabháil leis an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais ionas go bhféadfaidh sí feidhmiú. Beidh siad freagrach don Chláraitheoir faoi údarás an Uachtaráin.
At the request of the Court of Justice, the European Parliament and the Council may, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, provide for the appointment of Assistant Rapporteurs and lay down the rules governing their service. The Assistant Rapporteurs may be required, under conditions laid down in the Rules of Procedure, to participate in preparatory inquiries in cases pending before the Court and to cooperate with the Judge who acts as Rapporteur.	Airteagal 13
The Assistant Rapporteurs shall be chosen from persons whose independence is beyond doubt and who possess the necessary legal qualifications; they shall be appointed by the Council, acting by a simple majority. They shall take an oath before the Court to perform their duties impartially and conscientiously and to preserve the secrecy of the deliberations of the Court.	Ar iarraidh ón gCúirt Bhreithiúnais, féadfaidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach, foráil a dhéanamh chun Rapóirtéirí Cúnta a cheapadh agus na rialacha a leagan síos a rialóidh a seirbhís. Féadfar a cheangal ar Rapóirtéirí Cúnta, faoi choinníollacha a bheidh leagtha síos sna rialacha nós imeachta, páirt a ghlacadh i réamhfhiosrúcháin i gcásanna atá ar feitheamh os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais agus comhoibriú leis an mBreitheamh a ghníomhaíonn mar Rapóirtéir.
Article 14	Roghnófar na Rapóirtéirí Cúnta as measc daoine nach bhfuil a neamhspleáchas inchurtha in amhras agus a bhfuil na cáilíochtaí dlí acu is gá; is í an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach simplí, a cheapfaidh iad. Glacfaidh siad mionn os comhair na Cúirte go gcomhlíonfaidh siad a ndualgais go neamhchlaon coinsiasach agus go gcoimeádfaidh siad plé na Cúirte faoi rún.

Toghfar Uachtaráin na ndlísheomraí a bhfuil cúigear Breithiúna iontu go ceann téarma trí bliana. Féadfar iad a atoghadh uair amháin.
The Court shall sit in a Grand Chamber when a Member State or an institution of the Union that is party to the proceedings so requests.	Trí Bhreitheamh déag a bheidh ar an Mór-Dhlísheomra. Uachtarán na Cúirte a bheidh ina uachtarán air. Is cuid den Mhór-Dhlísheomra freisin Uachtaráin na ndlísheomraí a bhfuil cúigear Breithiúna iontu agus Breithiúna eile arna gceapadh i gcomhréir leis na coinníollacha atá leagtha síos sna rialacha nós imeachta.

The States, other than the Member States, which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and also the EFTA Surveillance Authority referred to in that Agreement shall be represented in same manner.	Beidh gníomhaire a cheapfar do gach cás ag Ballstáit agus institiúidí an Aontais chun feidhmiú ar a son os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais; féadfaidh an gníomhaire comhairleoir nó dlíodóir a bheith aige de chúnamh dó.
Other parties must be represented by a lawyer.	Beidh na Stáit, amach ó na Ballstáit, is páirtithe sa Chomhaontú maidir leis an Limistéar Eorpach Eacnamaíoch agus Údarás Faireacháin CSTE dá dtagraítear sa Chomhaontú sin ionadaithe ar an gcuma chéanna.
Only a lawyer authorised to practise before a court of a Member State or of another State which is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area may represent or assist a party before the Court.	Caithfidh páirtithe eile dlíodóir a bheith acu chun feidhmiú ar a son.
Such agents, advisers and lawyers shall, when they appear before the Court, enjoy the rights and immunities necessary to the independent exercise of their duties, under conditions laid down in the Rules of Procedure.	Dlíodóir atá údaraithe chun cleachtadh os comhair cúirte de chuid Ballstáit nó de chuid Stáit eile is páirtí sa Chomhaontú maidir leis an Limistéar Eorpach Eacnamaíoch, eisean amháin a fhéadfaidh ionadú do pháirtí nó bheith de chúnamh aige os comhair na Cúirte.
As regards such advisers and lawyers who appear before it, the Court shall have the powers normally accorded to courts of law, under conditions laid down in the Rules of Procedure.	Beidh ag na gníomhairí, na comhairleoirí agus na dlíodóirí sin nuair a láithreoidh siad os comhair na Cúirte, na cearta agus na díolúintí is gá lena ndualgais a fheidhmiú go neamhspleách, faoi choinníollacha a bheidh leagtha síos sna rialacha nós imeachta.
University teachers being nationals of a Member State whose law accords them a right of audience shall have the same rights before the Court as are accorded by this Article to lawyers.	Maidir leis na comhairleoirí agus na dlíodóirí a láithreoidh os a comhair, beidh ag an gCúirt na cumhachtaí a thugtar de ghnáth do chúirteanna dlí, faoi choinníollacha a bheidh leagtha síos sna rialacha nós imeachta.
Article 20	Múinteoirí ollscoile is náisiúnaigh de Bhallstát a dtugann a dhlí ceart éisteachta dóibh, beidh acu os comhair na Cúirte na cearta céanna a thugtar leis an Airteagal seo do dhlíodóirí.
The procedure before the Court of Justice shall consist of two parts: written and oral.	Airteagal 20
The written procedure shall consist of the communication to the parties and to the institutions of the Union whose decisions are in dispute, of applications, statements of case, defences and observations, and of replies, if any, as well as of all papers and documents in support or of certified copies of them.	Roinnfear an nós imeachta os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais ina dhá chuid: i scríbhinn agus ó bhéal.
Communications shall be made by the Registrar in the order and within the time laid down in the Rules of Procedure.	Is éard é an nós imeachta i scríbhinn, iarratais, ráitis cháis, cosaintí agus tuairimí, agus freagraí, más ann, mar aon leis na páipéir agus na doiciméid uile i dtaca leo, nó cóipeanna deimhnithe díobh, a chur chuig na páirtithe agus chuig institiúidí de chuid an Aontais a bhfuil a gcinntí faoi dhíospóid.
The oral procedure shall consist of the reading of the report presented by a Judge acting as Rapporteur, the hearing by the Court of agents, advisers and lawyers and of the submissions of the Advocate-General, as well as the hearing, if any, of witnesses and experts.	Cuirfidh an Cláraitheoir na nithe sin chucu san ord agus laistigh den am a bheidh leagtha síos sna rialacha nós imeachta.
Where it considers that the case raises no new point of law, the Court may decide, after hearing the Advocate-General, that the case shall be determined without a submission from the Advocate-General.	Is éard é an nós imeachta ó bhéal, an tuarascáil a léamh a thíolaic Breitheamh ag gníomhú dó mar Rapóirtéir, an Chúirt d'éisteacht gníomhairí, comhairleoirí agus dlíodóirí, agus aighneachtaí ón Abhcóide Ginearálta agus, ina theannta sin, má bhíonn ann, finnéithe agus saineolaithe a éisteacht.
Article 21	Má mheasann sí nach n-ardaíonn an cás aon phonc nua dlí, féadfaidh an Chúirt a chinneadh, tar éis an tAbhcóide Ginearálta a éisteacht, go dtabharfar breith ar an gcás gan aighneacht ón Abhcóide Ginearálta.
A case shall be brought before the Court of Justice by a written application addressed to the Registrar. The application shall contain the applicant’s name and permanent address and the description of the signatory, the name of the party or names of the parties against whom the application is made, the subject-matter of the dispute, the form of order sought and a brief statement of the pleas in law on which the application is based.	Airteagal 21
The application shall be accompanied, where appropriate, by the measure the annulment of which is sought or, in the circumstances referred to in Article 265 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, by documentary evidence of the date on which an institution was, in accordance with those Articles, requested to act.

If the Court annuls the decision of the Arbitration Committee, the matter may be re-opened, where appropriate, on the initiative of one of the parties in the case, before the Arbitration Committee. The latter shall conform to any decisions on points of law given by the Court.	Má dhiúltaíonn an Chúirt don achomharc, tiocfaidh cinneadh an Choiste Eadrána chun bheith ina chinneadh críochnaitheach.

Within two months from such notification, those States may lodge at the Court statements of case or written observations.

Brisfear an tréimhse teorann má thionscnaítear imeachtaí os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais nó má dhéanann an páirtí éagóirithe iarratas roimhe sin chun na hinstitiúide iomchuí de chuid an Aontais. Sa chás deireanach sin, caithfear na himeachtaí a thionscnamh laistigh den tréimhse dhá mhí dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 263 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh; beidh feidhm ag forálacha an dara mír d'Airteagal 265 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nuair is cuí sin.

Article 50	Ní fhéadfaidh comhalta ar iarradh air cúram an Abhcóide Ghinearálta a fheidhmiú i gcás páirt a ghlacadh i mbreithiúnas an cháis sin.
The General Court shall sit in chambers of three or five Judges. The Judges shall elect the Presidents of the chambers from among their number. The Presidents of the chambers of five Judges shall be elected for three years. They may be re-elected once.	Airteagal 50
The composition of the chambers and the assignment of cases to them shall be governed by the Rules of Procedure. In certain cases governed by the Rules of Procedure, the General Court may sit as a full court or be constituted by a single Judge.	Suífidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta i ndlísheomraí de thriúr nó cúigear Breithiúna. Toghfaidh na Breithiúna Uachtaráin na ndlísheomraí as a líon féin. Toghfar Uachtaráin na ndlísheomraí a bhfuil cúigear Breithiúna iontu go ceann téarma trí bliana. Féadfar iad a atoghadh uair amháin.
The Rules of Procedure may also provide that the General Court may sit in a Grand Chamber in cases and under the conditions specified therein.	Beidh comhdhéanamh na ndlísheomraí agus sannadh na gcásanna dóibh faoi rialú ag na rialacha nós imeachta. I gcásanna áirithe atá sainithe sna rialacha nós imeachta, féadfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta suí mar chúirt iomlán nó féadfar í a chomhdhéanamh de Bhreitheamh aonair.
Article 51	Féadfar a fhoráil sna rialacha nós imeachta go bhféadfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta suí mar Mhór-Dhlísheomra sna cásanna agus faoi na coinníollacha atá sonraithe iontu.
By way of derogation from the rule laid down in Article 256(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, jurisdiction shall be reserved to the Court of Justice in the actions referred to in Articles 263 and 265 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union when they are brought by a Member State against:	Airteagal 51
(a) an act of or failure to act by the European Parliament or the Council, or by those institutions acting jointly, except for:	De mhaolú ar an riail atá leagtha síos in Airteagal 256(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, forchoimeádtar dlínse chuig an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais sna caingne dá dtagraítear in Airteagail 263 agus 265 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nuair a thionscnaíonn Ballstát iad:
- decisions taken by the Council under the third subparagraph of Article 108(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;	(a) i gcoinne gnímh nó neamhghnímh de chuid Pharlaimint na hEorpa nó na Comhairle, nó de chuid an dá institiúid sin ag gníomhú dóibh go comhpháirteach, seachas:
- acts of the Council adopted pursuant to a Council regulation concerning measures to protect trade within the meaning of Article 207 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;	- cinntí arna ndéanamh ag an gComhairle faoin tríú fomhír d'Airteagal 108(2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh;

(b) against an act of or failure to act by the Commission under the first paragraph of Article 331 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	- gníomhartha de chuid na Comhairle lena gcuireann sí cumhachtaí feidhmithe chun feidhme i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 291(2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh;
Jurisdiction shall also be reserved to the Court of Justice in the actions referred to in the same Articles when they are brought by an institution of the Union against an act of or failure to act by the European Parliament, the Council, both those institutions acting jointly, or the Commission, or brought by an institution of the Union against an act of or failure to act by the European Central Bank.	(b) i gcoinne gnímh nó neamhghnímh de chuid an Choimisiúin faoi Airteagal 331(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
Article 52	Forchoimeádtar dlínse freisin chuig an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais sna caingne dá dtagraítear sna hAirteagail chéanna nuair a thionscnaíonn institiúid de chuid an Aontais iad i gcoinne gnímh nó neamhghnímh de chuid Pharlaimint na hEorpa nó na Comhairle, nó de chuid an dá institiúid sin ag gníomhú dóibh go comhpháirteach, nó de chuid an Choimisiúin, nó nuair a thionscnaíonn institiúid de chuid an Aontais iad i gcoinne gnímh nó neamhghnímh de chuid an Bhainc Cheannais Eorpaigh.
The President of the Court of Justice and the President of the General Court shall determine, by common accord, the conditions under which officials and other servants attached to the Court of Justice shall render their services to the General Court to enable it to function. Certain officials or other servants shall be responsible to the Registrar of the General Court under the authority of the President of the General Court.	Airteagal 52
Article 53	Leagfaidh Uachtarán na Cúirte Breithiúnais agus Uachtarán na Cúirte Ginearálta síos de thoil a chéile na coinníollacha faoina ndéanfaidh oifigigh agus seirbhísigh eile atá ag gabháil leis an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais a seirbhísí a sholáthar don Chúirt Ghinearálta ionas go bhféadfaidh sí feidhmiú. Beidh oifigigh áirithe nó seirbhísigh áirithe eile freagrach do Chláraitheoir na Cúirte Ginearálta faoi údarás Uachtarán na Cúirte Ginearálta.
The procedure before the General Court shall be governed by Title III.	Airteagal 53
Such further and more detailed provisions as may be necessary shall be laid down in its Rules of Procedure. The Rules of Procedure may derogate from the fourth paragraph of Article 40 and from Article 41 in order to take account of the specific features of litigation in the field of intellectual property.	Beidh an nós imeachta os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta faoi rialú ag Teideal III.
Notwithstanding the fourth paragraph of Article 20, the Advocate-General may make his reasoned submissions in writing.	Aon fhorálacha níos mionchruinne is gá de bhreis, déanfar iad a leagan síos ina rialacha nós imeachta. Féadfar maolú sna rialacha nós imeachta ar an gceathrú mír d'Airteagal 40 agus ar Airteagal 41 d'fhonn tréithe sonracha na dlíthíochta i réimse na maoine intleachtúla a chur san áireamh.
Article 54	De mhaolú ar an gceathrú mír d'Airteagal 20, féadfaidh an tAbhcóide Ginearálta a chuid aighneachtaí réasúnaithe a dhéanamh i scríbhinn.
Where an application or other procedural document addressed to the General Court is lodged by mistake with the Registrar of the Court of Justice, it shall be transmitted immediately by that Registrar to the Registrar of the General Court; likewise, where an application or other procedural document addressed to the Court of Justice is lodged by mistake with the Registrar of the General Court, it shall be transmitted immediately by that Registrar to the Registrar of the Court of Justice.	Airteagal 54
Where the General Court finds that it does not have jurisdiction to hear and determine an action in respect of which the Court of Justice has jurisdiction, it shall refer that action to the Court of Justice; likewise, where the Court of Justice finds that an action falls within the jurisdiction of the General Court, it shall refer that action to the General Court, whereupon that Court may not decline jurisdiction.	Má dhéantar iarratas nó doiciméad eile nós imeachta a seoladh chuig an gCúirt Ghinearálta a thaisceadh de dhearmad le Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Breithiúnais, déanfaidh an Cláraitheoir sin é a sheoladh láithreach chuig Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Ginearálta; mar an gcéanna, má dhéantar iarratas nó doiciméad eile nós imeachta a seoladh chuig an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais a thaisceadh de dhearmad le Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Ginearálta, déanfaidh an Cláraitheoir sin é a sheoladh láithreach chuig Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Breithiúnais.
Where the Court of Justice and the General Court are seised of cases in which the same relief is sought, the same issue of interpretation is raised or the validity of the same act is called in question, the General Court may, after hearing the parties, stay the proceedings before it until such time as the Court of Justice has delivered judgment or, where the action is one brought pursuant to Article 263 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, may decline jurisdiction so as to allow the Court of Justice to rule on such actions. In the same circumstances, the Court of Justice may also decide to stay the proceedings before it; in that event, the proceedings before the General Court shall continue.	Má chinneann an Chúirt Ghinearálta nach bhfuil dlínse aici caingean a éisteacht agus a chinneadh a bhfuil dlínse ag an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais ina leith, déanfaidh sí an chaingean sin a tharchur chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais; mar an gcéanna, má chinneann an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais go mbaineann caingean le dlínse na Cúirte Ginearálta, déanfaidh sí an chaingean sin a tharchur chun na Cúirte Ginearálta, agus ní fhéadfaidh sise ansin dlínse a dhiúltú.
Where a Member State and an institution of the Union are challenging the same act, the General Court shall decline jurisdiction so that the Court of Justice may rule on those applications.	Má thugtar cásanna os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais agus na Cúirte Ginearálta araon ina bhfuil an faoiseamh céanna á éileamh, ina dtógtar an tsaincheist chéanna léirithe nó ina gcaitear amhras ar bharántúlacht an ghnímh chéanna, féadfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta, tar éis di na páirtithe a éisteacht, bac a chur ar na himeachtaí os a comhair go dtí go mbeidh breithiúnas tugtha ag an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais nó, i gcás caingne arna dtionscnamh de bhun Airteagal 263 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, féadfaidh sí dlínse a dhiúltú chomh maith chun go bhféadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith a thabhairt ar na caingne sin. Sna himthosca céanna, féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais a chinneadh freisin bac a chur ar na himeachtaí a tugadh os a comhair; má dhéanann sí amhlaidh, leanfar de na himeachtaí a tugadh os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta.
Article 55	Má dhéanann Ballstát agus institiúid de chuid an Aontais an gníomh céanna a chonspóid, diúltóidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta dlínse chun go bhféadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith a thabhairt ar na hiarratais sin.
Final decisions of the General Court, decisions disposing of the substantive issues in part only or disposing of a procedural issue concerning a plea of lack of competence or inadmissibility, shall be notified by the Registrar of the General Court to all parties as well as all Member States and the institutions of the Union even if they did not intervene in the case before the General Court.	Airteagal 55
Article 56	Déanfaidh Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Ginearálta breitheanna críochnaitheacha na Cúirte Ginearálta, breitheanna nach réitíonn na saincheisteanna substaintiúla ach go páirteach, nó a réitíonn saincheist nós imeachta maidir le heaspa dlínse nó le do-ghlacthacht, a chur in iúl do gach páirtí lena mbaineann agus freisin do na Ballstáit uile agus d'institiúidí an Aontais fiú mura bhfuil idiragairt déanta acu sa chás os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta.
An appeal may be brought before the Court of Justice, within two months of the notification of the decision appealed against, against final decisions of the General Court and decisions of that Court disposing of the substantive issues in part only or disposing of a procedural issue concerning a plea of lack of competence or inadmissibility.	Airteagal 56
Such an appeal may be brought by any party which has been unsuccessful, in whole or in part, in its submissions. However, interveners other than the Member States and the institutions of the Union may bring such an appeal only where the decision of the General Court directly affects them.	Laistigh de dhá mhí tar éis an bhreith a bhfuil achomharc á dhéanamh ina coinne a bheith curtha in iúl, féadfar achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais i gcoinne bhreitheanna críochnaitheacha na Cúirte Ginearálta agus i gcoinne bhreitheanna na Cúirte sin nach réitíonn na saincheisteanna substaintiúla ach go páirteach nó a réitíonn saincheist nós imeachta maidir le heaspa dlínse nó le do-ghlacthacht.
With the exception of cases relating to disputes between the Union and its servants, an appeal may also be brought by Member States and institutions of the Union which did not intervene in the proceedings before the General Court. Such Member States and institutions shall be in the same position as Member States or institutions which intervened at first instance.	Féadfaidh aon pháirtí ar theip ar a chuid aighneachtaí go hiomlán nó go páirteach a leithéid sin d'achomharc a dhéanamh. Ní fhéadfaidh, áfach, idiragraithe nach Ballstáit nó institiúidí de chuid an Aontais iad achomharc den chineál sin a dhéanamh ach amháin má bhaineann breith na Cúirte Ginearálta go díreach leo.
Article 57	Cé is moite de chásanna a bhaineann le díospóidí idir an tAontas agus a chuid seirbhíseach, féadfaidh Ballstáit agus institiúidí de chuid an Aontais nach ndearna idiragairt sna himeachtaí os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta achomharc a dhéanamh chomh maith. Cuirfear an chóir chéanna ar na Ballstáit agus na hinstitiúidí sin a chuirtear ar Bhallstáit nó institiúidí a rinne idiragairt ag an gcéad chéim.
Any person whose application to intervene has been dismissed by the General Court may appeal to the Court of Justice within two weeks from the notification of the decision dismissing the application.	Airteagal 57
The parties to the proceedings may appeal to the Court of Justice against any decision of the General Court made pursuant to Article 278 or Article 279 or the fourth paragraph of Article 299 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or Article 157 or the third paragraph of Article 164 of the EAEC Treaty within two months from their notification.	Aon duine a ndéanfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta a iarratas idiragartha a dhíbhe, féadfaidh sé achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais laistigh de dhá sheachtain tar éis an bhreith ag díbhe an iarratais a bheith curtha in iúl.
The appeal referred to in the first two paragraphs of this Article shall be heard and determined under the procedure referred to in Article 39.	Féadfaidh páirtithe sna himeachtaí achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais i gcoinne aon bhreithe de chuid na Cúirte Ginearálta a rinneadh de bhun Airteagal 278 nó Airteagal 279 nó an ceathrú mír d'Airteagal 299 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nó de bhun Airteagal 157 nó an tríú mír d'Airteagal 164 de Chonradh CEFA laistigh de dhá mhí tar éis a curtha in iúl.
Article 58	Éistfear na hachomhairc dá dtagraítear sa chéad dá mhír den Airteagal seo, agus déanfar breith orthu, de réir an nós imeachta dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 39.
An appeal to the Court of Justice shall be limited to points of law. It shall lie on the grounds of lack of competence of the General Court, a breach of procedure before it which adversely affects the interests of the appellant as well as the infringement of Union law by the General Court.	Airteagal 58
No appeal shall lie regarding only the amount of the costs or the party ordered to pay them.	Ní fhéadfar achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais ach ar phoncanna dlí amháin. Is é a bheidh de bhonn aige easpa dlínse na Cúirte Ginearálta, sárú nós imeachta os a comhair a théann chun dochair do leas an achomharcóra nó sárú ar reachtaíocht an Aontais ag an gCúirt Ghinearálta.
Article 59	Ní fhéadfar achomharc a dhéanamh nach mbaineann ach amháin le méid na gcostas nó leis an bpáirtí ar ordaíodh dó iad a íoc.
Where an appeal is brought against a decision of the General Court, the procedure before the Court of Justice shall consist of a written part and an oral part. In accordance with conditions laid down in the Rules of Procedure, the Court of Justice, having heard the Advocate-General and the parties, may dispense with the oral procedure.	Airteagal 59
Article 60	Má dhéantar achomharc i gcoinne breithe de chuid na Cúirte Ginearálta, beidh cuid den nós imeachta os comhair na Cúirte Breithiúnais i scríbhinn agus cuid de ó bhéal. Faoi réir na gcoinníollacha a leagtar síos sna rialacha nós imeachta, féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, tar éis di an tAbhcóide Ginearálta agus na páirtithe a éisteacht, an nós imeachta ó bhéal a fhágáil ar lár.
Without prejudice to Articles 278 and 279 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or Article 157 of the EAEC Treaty, an appeal shall not have suspensory effect.	Airteagal 60
By way of derogation from Article 280 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, decisions of the General Court declaring a regulation to be void shall take effect only as from the date of expiry of the period referred to in the first paragraph of Article 56 of this Statute or, if an appeal shall have been brought within that period, as from the date of dismissal of the appeal, without prejudice, however, to the right of a party to apply to the Court of Justice, pursuant to Articles 278 and 279 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or Article 157 of the EAEC Treaty, for the suspension of the effects of the regulation which has been declared void or for the prescription of any other interim measure.	Gan dochar d'Airteagail 278 agus 279 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nó d'Airteagal 157 de Chonradh CEFA, ní bheidh éifeacht fionraíochta ag achomharc.
Article 61	De mhaolú ar Airteagal 280 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, ní ghlacfaidh breitheanna na Cúirte Ginearálta á dhearbhú rialachán a bheith ar neamhní éifeacht ach amháin ón dáta a mbeidh an tréimhse dá dtagraítear sa chéad mhír d'Airteagal 56 den Reacht seo dulta in éag, nó má rinneadh achomharc laistigh den tréimhse sin, ón dáta a díbheadh an t-achomharc, gan dochar, ar a shon sin, do cheart an pháirtí chun a iarraidh ar an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais, de bhun Airteagail 278 agus 279 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nó d'Airteagal 157 de Chonradh CEFA, éifeachtaí an rialacháin neamhnithe a fhionraí nó aon bhearta idirlinne eile a ordú.
If the appeal is well founded, the Court of Justice shall quash the decision of the General Court. It may itself give final judgment in the matter, where the state of the proceedings so permits, or refer the case back to the General Court for judgment.	Airteagal 61
Where a case is referred back to the General Court, that Court shall be bound by the decision of the Court of Justice on points of law.	Má tá bunús leis an achomharc, neamhneoidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith na Cúirte Ginearálta. Féadfaidh sí féin breithiúnas críochnaitheach a thabhairt san ábhar má cheadaíonn staid na n-imeachtaí a leithéid, nó an cás a tharchur ar ais chuig an gCúirt Ghinearálta le haghaidh breithiúnais.
When an appeal brought by a Member State or an institution of the Union, which did not intervene in the proceedings before the General Court, is well founded, the Court of Justice may, if it considers this necessary, state which of the effects of the decision of the General Court which has been quashed shall be considered as definitive in respect of the parties to the litigation.	Má tharchuirtear cás ar ais go dtí an Chúirt Ghinearálta, beidh breith na Cúirte Breithiúnais maidir le poncanna dlí ina ceangal ar an gCúirt sin.
Article 62	Má tá bunús le hachomharc a dhéanann Ballstát nó institiúid de chuid an Aontais nach ndearna idiragairt sna himeachtaí os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta, féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, más dóigh léi gur gá sin, a rá cad iad na héifeachtaí de bhreith neamhnithe na Cúirte Ginearálta a mheasfar a bheith críochnaitheach i leith na bpáirtithe sa dlíthíocht.
In the cases provided for in Article 256(2) and (3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, where the First Advocate-General considers that there is a serious risk of the unity or consistency of Union law being affected, he may propose that the Court of Justice review the decision of the General Court.	Airteagal 62
The proposal must be made within one month of delivery of the decision by the General Court. Within one month of receiving the proposal made by the First Advocate-General, the Court of Justice shall decide whether or not the decision should be reviewed.	Sna cásanna dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 256(2) agus (3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, nuair a mheasann an Chéad Abhcóide Ginearálta go bhfuil baol tromchúiseach ann go ndéanfaí difear d'aontacht agus do chomhchuibheas dhlí an Aontais, féadfaidh sé togra a dhéanamh go ndéanfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith na Cúirte Ginearálta a athbhreithniú.
Article 62a	Ní foláir an togra a dhéanamh laistigh de mhí ón tráth a thugann an Chúirt Ghinearálta an bhreith. Laistigh de mhí tar éis di an togra ón gCéad Abhcóide Ginearálta a fháil, cinnfidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an cóir nó nach cóir an bhreith a athbhreithniú.
The Court of Justice shall give a ruling on the questions which are subject to review by means of an urgent procedure on the basis of the file forwarded to it by the General Court.	Airteagal 62a
Those referred to in Article 23 of this Statute and, in the cases provided for in Article 256(2) of the EC Treaty, the parties to the proceedings before the General Court shall be entitled to lodge statements or written observations with the Court of Justice relating to questions which are subject to review within a period prescribed for that purpose.	Tabharfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breith ar na ceisteanna atá faoi réir athbhreithniú trí bhíthin nós imeachta práinne ar bhonn an chomhaid arna sheoladh chuici ag an gCúirt Ghinearálta.
The Court of Justice may decide to open the oral procedure before giving a ruling.	Beidh na daoine dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 23 den Reacht seo agus, sna cásanna dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 256(2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, na páirtithe sna himeachtaí atá os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta, i dteideal ráitis nó barúlacha i scríbhinn a bhaineann leis na ceisteanna atá faoi réir athbhreithniú a thaisceadh leis an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais laistigh den tréimhse arna forordú chun na críche sin.
Article 62b	Féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais nós imeachta ó bhéal a oscailt sula dtabharfaidh sí breith.
In the cases provided for in Article 256(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, without prejudice to Articles 278 and 279 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, proposals for review and decisions to open the review procedure shall not have suspensory effect. If the Court of Justice finds that the decision of the General Court affects the unity or consistency of Union law, it shall refer the case back to the General Court which shall be bound by the points of law decided by the Court of Justice; the Court of Justice may state which of the effects of the decision of the General Court are to be considered as definitive in respect of the parties to the litigation. If, however, having regard to the result of the review, the outcome of the proceedings flows from the findings of fact on which the decision of the General Court was based, the Court of Justice shall give final judgment.	Airteagal 62b
In the cases provided for in Article 256(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in the absence of proposals for review or decisions to open the review procedure, the answer(s) given by the General Court to the questions submitted to it shall take effect upon expiry of the periods prescribed for that purpose in the second paragraph of Article 62. Should a review procedure be opened, the answer(s) subject to review shall take effect following that procedure, unless the Court of Justice decides otherwise. If the Court of Justice finds that the decision of the General Court affects the unity or consistency of Union law, the answer given by the Court of Justice to the questions subject to review shall be substituted for that given by the General Court.	Sna cásanna dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 256(2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, gan dochar d'Airteagal 278 ná d'Airteagal 279 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, ní bheidh éifeacht fionraíochta ag tograí ar athbhreithniú ná ag cinntí an nós imeachta um athbhreithniú a oscailt. Má chinneann an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais go ndéanann breith na Cúirte Ginearálta difear d'aontacht nó do chomhchuibheas dhlí an Aontais, tarchuirfidh sí an cás ar ais go dtí an Chúirt Ghinearálta a bheidh faoi cheangal ag breith na Cúirte Breithiúnais maidir le poncanna dlí; féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais a rá cé acu de na héifeachtaí atá ag breith na Cúirte Ginearálta a mheasfar a bheith críochnaitheach i leith na bpáirtithe sa chúis dlí. Más amhlaidh, áfach, ag féachaint do thoradh an athbhreithnithe, go n-eascraíonn toradh na n imeachtaí ó na cinntí fíorais ar orthu a bunaíodh breith na Cúirte Ginearálta, tabharfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais breithiúnas críochnaitheach.
TITLE IVa	Sna cásanna dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 256(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, cheal tograí ar athbhreithiniú nó cinntí an nós imeachta um athbhreithniú a oscailt, is ar dhul in éag don tréimhse a shonraítear chuige sin sa dara mír d'Airteagal 62 a bheidh éifeacht ag an bhfreagra nó ag na freagraí a thug an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais ar na ceisteanna a cuireadh faoina bráid. I gcás go n-osclaítear nós imeachta um athbhreithniú, beidh éifeacht ag an bhfreagra nó ag na freagraí atá faoi réir athbhreithniú i ndiaidh an nós imeachta sin, mura gcinnfidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais a mhalairt. Má chineann an Chúirt Breithiúnais go ndéanann breith na Cúirte Breithiúnais difear d'aontacht nó do chomhchuibheas dhlí an Aontais, cuirfear an freagra a thug an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais ar na ceisteanna atá faoi réir athbhreithniú in ionad an fhreagra a thug an Chúirt Ghinearálta.

Beidh oifigigh áirithe nó seirbhísigh áirithe eile freagrach do Chláraitheoir Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta faoi údarás Uachtarán an Bhinse sin.
Article 7	2. Ceapfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta a Chláraitheoir agus leagfaidh sé síos na rialacha a bhainfidh lena sheirbhís. Beidh feidhm ag an gceathrú mír d'Airteagal 3 agus ag Airteagail 10, 11 agus 14 de Reacht Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir le Cláraitheoir an Bhinse.

Beidh an nós imeachta os comhair Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta faoi rialú ag Teideal III de Reacht Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh, cé is moite d'Airteagail 22 agus 23. Leagfar síos sna rialacha nós imeachta aon fhorálacha níos mionchruinne is gá de bhreis.
3. The written stage of the procedure shall comprise the presentation of the application and of the statement of defence, unless the Civil Service Tribunal decides that a second exchange of written pleadings is necessary.

Beidh feidhm ag na forálacha i dtaobh shocruithe teanga na Cúirte Ginearálta maidir le Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta.
4. At all stages of the procedure, including the time when the application is filed, the Civil Service Tribunal may examine the possibilities of an amicable settlement of the dispute and may try to facilitate such settlement.	3. Is éard a bheidh sa chéim scríofa den nós imeachta an t-iarratas agus an ráiteas cosanta a chur i láthair, mura gcinnfidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta gur gá an dara malartú pléadálacha i scríbhinn. I gcás ina mbíonn an dara malartú den sórt sin ann, féadfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, le comhaontú ó na páirtithe, a chinneadh go ngabhfaidh sé i gcionn na breithe d'uireasa aon imeachtaí ó bhéal.
5. The Civil Service Tribunal shall rule on the costs of a case. Subject to the specific provisions of the Rules of Procedure, the unsuccessful party shall be ordered to pay the costs should the court so decide.	4. Ag gach céim den nós imeachta, lena n-áirítear tráth taiscthe an iarratais, féadfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta scrúdú a dhéanamh ar na bealaí a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ann chun teacht ar réiteach cairdiúil ar dhíospóidí agus féadfaidh sé iarracht a dhéanamh socrú den sórt sin a éascú.
Article 8	5. Déanfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta rialú maidir le costais cáis. Faoi réir fhorálacha sonracha na rialacha nós imeachta, ordófar don pháirtí caillteach na costais a íoc má chinneann an chúirt amhlaidh.
1. Where an application or other procedural document addressed to the Civil Service Tribunal is lodged by mistake with the Registrar of the Court of Justice or General Court, it shall be transmitted immediately by that Registrar to the Registrar of the Civil Service Tribunal. Likewise, where an application or other procedural document addressed to the Court of Justice or to the General Court is lodged by mistake with the Registrar of the Civil Service Tribunal, it shall be transmitted immediately by that Registrar to the Registrar of the Court of Justice or General Court.	Airteagal 8
2. Where the Civil Service Tribunal finds that it does not have jurisdiction to hear and determine an action in respect of which the Court of Justice or the General Court has jurisdiction, it shall refer that action to the Court of Justice or to the General Court. Likewise, where the Court of Justice or the General Court finds that an action falls within the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Tribunal, the Court seised shall refer that action to the Civil Service Tribunal, whereupon that Tribunal may not decline jurisdiction.	1. Má dhéantar iarratas nó doiciméad eile nós imeachta a díríodh chuig Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta a thaisceadh de dhearmad le Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Breithiúnais nó na Cúirte Ginearálta, déanfaidh an Cláraitheoir sin é a sheoladh láithreach chuig Cláraitheoir Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta. Mar an gcéanna, má dhéantar iarratas nó doiciméad eile nós imeachta a díríodh chuig an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais nó chuig an gCúirt Ghinearálta a thaisceadh de dhearmad le Cláraitheoir Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, déanfaidh an Cláraitheoir sin é a sheoladh láithreach chuig Cláraitheoir na Cúirte Breithiúnais nó na Cúirte Ginearálta.
3. Where the Civil Service Tribunal and the General Court are seised of cases in which the same issue of interpretation is raised or the validity of the same act is called in question, the Civil Service Tribunal, after hearing the parties, may stay the proceedings until the judgment of the General Court has been delivered.	2. Má chinneann Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta nach bhfuil dlínse aige caingean a éisteacht agus a chinneadh a bhfuil dlínse ag an gCúirt Bhreithiúnais nó ag an gCúirt Ghinearálta ina leith, déanfaidh sé an chaingean sin a tharchur chun na Cúirte Breithiúnais nó chun na Cúirte Ginearálta. Mar an gcéanna, má chinneann an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais nó an Chúirt Ghinearálta go mbaineann caingean le dlínse Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, déanfaidh an Chúirt a bhfuil an chaingean os a comhair í a tharchur chun Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, agus ní fhéadfaidh an Binse sin dlínse a dhiúltú.
Where the Civil Service Tribunal and the General Court are seised of cases in which the same relief is sought, the Civil Service Tribunal shall decline jurisdiction so that the General Court may act on those cases.	3. Má thugtar cásanna os comhair Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta agus na Cúirte Ginearálta araon ina dtógtar an tsaincheist chéanna léirithe nó ina gcaitear amhras ar bharántúlacht an ghnímh chéanna, féadfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, tar éis di na páirtithe a éisteacht, bac a chur ar na himeachtaí go dtí go mbeidh breithiúnas tugtha ag an gCúirt Ghinearálta.
Article 9	Má thugtar cásanna os comhair Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta agus na Cúirte Ginearálta araon ina bhfuil an faoiseamh céanna á éileamh, féadfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta dlínse a dhiúltú chun go bhféadfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta gníomhú i leith na gcásanna sin.
An appeal may be brought before the General Court, within two months of notification of the decision appealed against, against final decisions of the Civil Service Tribunal and decisions of that Tribunal disposing of the substantive issues in part only or disposing of a procedural issue concerning a plea of lack of jurisdiction or inadmissibility.	Airteagal 9
Such an appeal may be brought by any party which has been unsuccessful, in whole or in part, in its submissions. However, interveners other than the Member States and the institutions of the Union may bring such an appeal only where the decision of the Civil Service Tribunal directly affects them.	Laistigh de dhá mhí tar éis an bhreith a bhfuil achomharc á dhéanamh ina coinne a bheith curtha in iúl, féadfar achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Ginearálta i gcoinne bhreitheanna críochnaitheacha Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta agus i gcoinne bhreitheanna an Bhinse sin nach réitíonn na saincheisteanna substaintiúla ach go páirteach nó a réitíonn saincheist nós imeachta maidir le heaspa dlínse nó le doghlacthacht.
Article 10	Féadfaidh aon pháirtí ar theip ar a chuid aighneachtaí, go hiomlán nó go páirteach, a leithéid sin d'achomharc a dhéanamh. Ní fhéadfaidh idiragraithe nach Ballstáit ná institiúidí de chuid an Aontais iad achomharc den chineál sin a dhéanamh, áfach, ach amháin má bhaineann breith Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta go díreach leo.
1. Any person whose application to intervene has been dismissed by the Civil Service Tribunal may appeal to the General Court within two weeks of notification of the decision dismissing the application.	Airteagal 10
2. The parties to the proceedings may appeal to the General Court against any decision of the Civil Service Tribunal made pursuant to Article 278 or Article 279 or the fourth paragraph of Article 299 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or Article 157 or the third paragraph of Article 164 of the EAEC Treaty within two months of its notification.	1. Aon duine a ndéanfaidh Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta a iarratas idiragartha a dhíbhe, féadfaidh sé achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Ginearálta laistigh de choicís tar éis an bhreith ag díbhe an iarratais a bheith curtha in iúl.
3. The President of the General Court may, by way of summary procedure, which may, in so far as necessary, differ from some of the rules contained in this Annex and which shall be laid down in the rules of procedure of the General Court, adjudicate upon appeals brought in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2.	2. Féadfaidh páirtithe sna himeachtaí achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Ginearálta i gcoinne aon bhreithe de chuid Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta a rinneadh de bhun Airteagal 278 nó Airteagal 279 nó an ceathrú mír d'Airteagal 299 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh nó de bhun Airteagal 157 nó an tríú mír d'Airteagal 164 de Chonradh CEFA laistigh de dhá mhí tar éis a curtha in iúl.
Article 11	3. Féadfaidh Uachtarán na Cúirte Ginearálta, i modh nós imeachta achomair ar féidir, a mhéad is gá sin, difear a bheith idir é agus cuid de na rialacha atá san Iarscríbhinn seo agus a bheidh leagtha síos i rialacha nós imeachta na Cúirte Ginearálta, breithniú a dhéanamh ar achomhairc arna dtabhairt i gcomhréir le mír 1 agus le mír 2 den Airteagal seo.
1. An appeal to the General Court shall be limited to points of law. It shall lie on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction of the Civil Service Tribunal, a breach of procedure before it which adversely affects the interests of the appellant, as well as the infringement of Union law by the Tribunal.	Airteagal 11
2. No appeal shall lie regarding only the amount of the costs or the party ordered to pay them.	1. Ní fhéadfar achomharc a dhéanamh chun na Cúirte Ginearálta ach ar phoncanna dlí amháin. Is é a bheidh de bhonn aige easpa dlínse Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, sárú nós imeachta os a chomhair a dhéanann dochar do leas an achomharcóra nó sárú ar reachtaíocht an Aontais ag an mBinse.
Article 12	2. Ní fhéadfar achomharc a dhéanamh nach mbaineann ach le méid na gcostas nó leis an bpáirtí ar ordaíodh dó iad a íoc.
1. Without prejudice to Articles 278 and 279 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or Article 157 of the EAEC Treaty, an appeal before the General Court shall not have suspensory effect.	Airteagal 12
2. Where an appeal is brought against a decision of the Civil Service Tribunal, the procedure before the General Court shall consist of a written part and an oral part. In accordance with conditions laid down in the rules of procedure, the General Court, having heard the parties, may dispense with the oral procedure.	1. Gan dochar d'Airteagal 278 ná d'Airteagal 279 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh ná d'Airteagal 157 de Chonradh CEFA, ní bheidh éifeacht fionraíochta ag achomharc.
Article 13	2. Má dhéantar achomharc i gcoinne breithe de chuid Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, beidh cuid den nós imeachta os comhair na Cúirte Ginearálta i scríbhinn agus cuid de ó bhéal. Faoi réir na gcoinníollacha a leagtar síos sna rialacha nós imeachta, féadfaidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta, tar éis di na páirtithe a éisteacht, an nós imeachta ó bhéal a fhágáil ar lár.
1. If the appeal is well founded, the General Court shall quash the decision of the Civil Service Tribunal and itself give judgment in the matter. It shall refer the case back to the Civil Service Tribunal for judgment where the state of the proceedings does not permit a decision by the Court.	Airteagal 13
2. Where a case is referred back to the Civil Service Tribunal, the Tribunal shall be bound by the decision of the General Court on points of law.	1. Má bhíonn bunús leis an achomharc, neamhneoidh an Chúirt Ghinearálta breith Bhinse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta agus déanfaidh sí féin breithiúnas a thabhairt san ábhar. Déanfaidh sí an cás a tharchur ar ais chuig Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta le haghaidh breithiúnais nuair nach gceadaíonn staid na n-imeachtaí breith ón gCúirt.
PROTOCOL (No 4)	2. Má tharchuirtear cás ar ais go dtí Binse na Seirbhíse Sibhialta, beidh breith na Cúirte Ginearálta maidir le poncanna dlí ina ceangal ar an gCúirt sin.

10.2. Each member of the Governing Council shall have one vote. As from the date on which the number of members of the Governing Council exceeds 21, each member of the Executive Board shall have one vote and the number of governors with a voting right shall be 15. The latter voting rights shall be assigned and shall rotate as follows:	10.1. I gcomhréir le hAirteagal 283(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, beidh ar an gComhairle Rialaithe comhaltaí an Bhord Feidhmiúcháin agus Gobharnóirí banc ceannais náisiúnta na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu.
- as from the date on which the number of governors exceeds 15, until it reaches 22, the governors shall be allocated to two groups, according to a ranking of the size of the share of their national central bank's Member State in the aggregate gross domestic product at market prices and in the total aggregated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions of the Member States whose currency is the euro. The shares in the aggregate gross domestic product at market prices and in the total aggregated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions shall be assigned weights of 5/6 and 1/6, respectively. The first group shall be composed of five governors and the second group of the remaining governors. The frequency of voting rights of the governors allocated to the first group shall not be lower than the frequency of voting rights of those of the second group. Subject to the previous sentence, the first group shall be assigned four voting rights and the second group eleven voting rights,	10.2. Beidh vóta amháin ag gach comhalta den Chomhairle Rialaithe. Amhail ón dáta ar mó líon chomhaltaí na Comhairle Rialaithe ná 21, beidh vóta amháin ag gach comhalta den Bhord Feidhmiúcháin agus is ag 15 de líon na ngobharnóirí a bheidh ceart vótála. Déanfar na cearta vótála sin a shannadh de réir na huainíochta seo a leanas:
- as from the date on which the number of governors reaches 22, the governors shall be allocated to three groups according to a ranking based on the above criteria. The first group shall be composed of five governors and shall be assigned four voting rights. The second group shall be composed of half of the total number of governors, with any fraction rounded up to the nearest integer, and shall be assigned eight voting rights. The third group shall be composed of the remaining governors and shall be assigned three voting rights,	- amhail ón dáta ar mó líon na ngobharnóirí ná 15, go dtí go sroicheann sé 22, cionroinnfear na gobharnóirí ar dhá ghrúpa de réir an chéimnithe atá ag méid scair Bhallstát a mbainc ceannais náisiúnta san olltáirgeacht intíre chomhiomlán de réir margadhphraghsanna agus i lánchlár comhardaithe comhiomlán institiúidí airgeadais airgeadaíochta na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu. Sannfar ualú 5/6 agus 1/6 faoi seach do na scaireanna san olltáirgeacht intíre chomhiomlán de réir margadhphraghsanna agus i lánchlár comhordaithe comhiomlán na n-institiúidí airgeadais airgeadaíochta. Beidh cúigear gobharnóir sa chéad ghrúpa agus beidh na gobharnóirí eile sa dara grúpa. Ní bheidh minicíocht chearta vótála na ngobharnóirí sa chéad ghrúpa níos ísle ná minicíocht chearta vótála na ngobharnóirí sa dara grúpa. Faoi réir na habairte sin roimhe seo, déanfar ceithre cheart vótála a shannadh don chéad ghrúpa agus aon cheart vótála déag a shannadh don dara grúpa;
- within each group, the governors shall have their voting rights for equal amounts of time,	- amhail ón dáta a shroichfidh líon na ngobharnóirí 22, cionroinnfear na gobharnóirí ar thrí ghrúpa de réir an céimnithe atá bunaithe ar na critéir thuas. Beidh cúigear gobharnóir sa chéad ghrúpa agus sannfar ceithre cheart vótála dó. Beidh leath an líon iomlán gobharnóirí sa dara grúpa, agus aon chodán á chothromú suas go dtí an tslánuimhir is gaire, agus sannfar ocht gceart vótála don ghrúpa sin. Beidh na gobharnóirí eile sa tríú grúpa agus sannfar trí cheart vótála dó;
- for the calculation of the shares in the aggregate gross domestic product at market prices Article 29.2 shall apply. The total aggregated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions shall be calculated in accordance with the statistical framework applying in the Union at the time of the calculation,	- laistigh de gach grúpa, beidh a gcearta vótála ag na gobharnóirí go ceann tréimhsí comhionanna;
- whenever the aggregate gross domestic product at market prices is adjusted in accordance with Article 29.3, or whenever the number of governors increases, the size and/or composition of the groups shall be adjusted in accordance with the above principles,	- chun na scaireanna san olltáirgeacht intíre chomhiomlán de réir margadhphraghsanna a ríomh, beidh feidhm ag Airteagal 29.2. Déanfar lánchlár comhardaithe comhiomlán na n-institiúidí airgeadais airgeadaíochta a ríomh i gcomhréir leis an gcreat staidrimh a bhfuil feidhm aige san Aontas Eorpach tráth an ríomha;
- the Governing Council, acting by a two-thirds majority of all its members, with and without a voting right, shall take all measures necessary for the implementation of the above principles and may decide to postpone the start of the rotation system until the date on which the number of governors exceeds 18.	- aon uair a dhéantar an olltáirgeacht intíre chomhiomlán de réir margadhphraghsanna a choigeartú i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 29.3, nó aon uair a thagann méadú ar líon na ngobharnóirí, déanfar líon agus/nó comhdhéanamh na ngrúpaí a choigeartú i gcomhréir leis na prionsabail thuas;
The right to vote shall be exercised in person. By way of derogation from this rule, the Rules of Procedure referred to in Article 12.3 may lay down that members of the Governing Council may cast their vote by means of teleconferencing. These rules shall also provide that a member of the Governing Council who is prevented from attending meetings of the Governing Council for a prolonged period may appoint an alternate as a member of the Governing Council.	- déanfaidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach dhá thrian dá comhaltaí uile, bíodh ceart vótála acu nó ná bíodh, gach beart a ghlacadh is gá chun na prionsabail thuas a chur chun feidhme agus féadfaidh sí a chinneadh tús an chórais uainíochta a chur ar athló go dtí an dáta ar mó líon na ngobharnóirí ná 18.
The provisions of the previous paragraphs are without prejudice to the voting rights of all members of the Governing Council, with and without a voting right, under Articles 10.3, 40.2 and 40.3.	Ní mór an ceart vótála a fheidhmiú go pearsanta. De mhaolú ar an riail sin, féadfar a leagan síos sna Rialacha Nós Imeachta dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 12.3 go bhféadfaidh comhaltaí den Chomhairle Rialaithe vótáil trí bhíthin teileachomhdhála. Forálfar freisin sna rialacha sin go bhféadfaidh comhalta den Chomhairle Rialaithe nach féidir dó ar feadh tréimhse fada freastal ar chruinnithe na Comhairle Rialaithe malartach a cheapadh chun a ionad a ghabháil mar chomhalta den Chomhairle Rialaithe.
Save as otherwise provided for in this Statute, the Governing Council shall act by a simple majority of the members having a voting right. In the event of a tie, the President shall have the casting vote.	Tá forálacha na míreanna sin roimhe seo gan dochar do chearta vótála chomhaltaí uile na Comhairle Rialaithe, bíodh ceart vótála acu nó ná bíodh, Airteagail 10.3, 40.2 agus 40.3.
In order for the Governing Council to vote, there shall be a quorum of two-thirds of the members having a voting right. If the quorum is not met, the President may convene an extraordinary meeting at which decisions may be taken without regard to the quorum.	Mura bhforáiltear a mhalairt sa Reacht seo, gníomhóidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe trí thromlach simplí de na comhaltaí a bhfuil ceart vótála acu. I gcás comhionannais vótaí, is ag an Uachtarán a bheidh an vóta réitigh.
10.3. For any decisions to be taken under Articles 28, 29, 30, 32 and 33, the votes in the Governing Council shall be weighted according to the national central banks' shares in the subscribed capital of the ECB. The weights of the votes of the members of the Executive Board shall be zero. A decision requiring a qualified majority shall be adopted if the votes cast in favour represent at least two thirds of the subscribed capital of the ECB and represent at least half of the shareholders. If a Governor is unable to be present, he may nominate an alternate to cast his weighted vote.	Chun go bhféadfaidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe vótáil, ní mór córam dhá thrian de na comhaltaí a bhfuil ceart vótála acu a bheith ann. Mura sroichfear an córam, féadfaidh an tUachtarán cruinniú urghnách a chomóradh ina bhféadfar cinntí a ghlacadh gan aird ar an gcóram.
10.4. The proceedings of the meetings shall be confidential. The Governing Council may decide to make the outcome of its deliberations public.	10.3. Chun go nglacfar cinntí de bhun Airteagail 28, 29, 30, 32 agus 33, déanfar na vótaí sa Chomhairle Rialaithe a ualú i gcomhréir le scaireanna na mbanc ceannais náisiúnta i gcaipiteal suibscríofa BCE. Is ionann agus nialas ualuithe vótaí chomhaltaí an Bhord Feidhmiúcháin. Déanfar cinneadh ar gá tromlach cáilithe chuige a ghlacadh má fhaigheann sé líon vótaí ina fhabhar is ionannas ar a laghad le dhá thrian de chaipiteal suibscríofa BCE agus is ionannas ar a laghad le leath na scairshealbhóirí. Mura féidir le Gobharnóir bheith i láthair, féadfaidh sé malartach a ainmniú chun a vóta ualaithe a chaitheamh.
10.5. The Governing Council shall meet at least 10 times a year.	10.4. Beidh imeachtaí na gcruinnithe faoi rún. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe toradh a pléití a phoibliú.
Article 11	10.5. Tiocfaidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe le chéile ar a laghad deich n-uaire sa bhliain.

Their term of office shall be eight years and shall not be renewable.	11.2. I gcomhréir leis an dara mír d'Airteagal 283(2) den Chonradh sin, déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe, ar mholadh ón gComhairle agus tar éis di dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa agus leis an gComhairle Rialaithe, Uachtarán, Leasuachtarán agus comhaltaí eile an Bhord Feidhmiúcháin a cheapadh as measc daoine a bhfuil gradam agus taithí ghairmiúil aitheanta acu i réimsí airgeadaíochta nó baincéireachta.

The members of the Executive Board shall not have the right to vote on matters referred to in this paragraph.	Ní féidir a bheith ina gcomhaltaí den Bhord Feidhmiúcháin ach amháin náisiúnaigh de na Ballstáit.
11.4. If a member of the Executive Board no longer fulfils the conditions required for the performance of his duties or if he has been guilty of serious misconduct, the Court of Justice may, on application by the Governing Council or the Executive Board, compulsorily retire him.	11.3. Leagfar síos téarmaí agus coinníollacha fostaíochta chomhaltaí an Bhord Feidhmiúcháin, go háirithe a dtuarastail, a bpinsin agus a sochair slándála sóisialta eile i gconarthaí le BCE agus socróidh an Chomhairle Rialaithe iad ar thogra ó choiste ar a mbeidh trí chomhalta arna gceapadh ag an gComhairle Rialaithe agus trí chomhalta arna gceapadh ag an gComhairle. Ní bheidh ceart vótála ag comhaltaí an Bhord Feidhmiúcháin ar ábhair dá dtagraítear sa mhír seo.
11.5. Each member of the Executive Board present in person shall have the right to vote and shall have, for that purpose, one vote. Save as otherwise provided, the Executive Board shall act by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the event of a tie, the President shall have the casting vote.

The sum to be transferred shall be determined by multiplying the euro value at current exchange rates of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1, by the ratio between the number of shares subscribed by the national central bank concerned and the number of shares already paid up by the other national central banks.

48.3. Upon one or more countries becoming Member States and their respective national central banks becoming part of the ESCB, the subscribed capital of the ECB and the limit on the amount of foreign reserve assets that may be transferred to the ECB shall be automatically increased. The increase shall be determined by multiplying the respective amounts then prevailing by the ratio, within the expanded capital key, between the weighting of the entering national central banks concerned and the weighting of the national central banks already members of the ESCB. Each national central bank's weighting in the capital key shall be calculated by analogy with Article 29.1 and in compliance with Article 29.2. The reference periods to be used for the statistical data shall be identical to those applied for the latest quinquennial adjustment of the weightings under Article 29.3.	48.2. I dteannta na híocaíochta a bheidh le déanamh i gcomhréir le 48.1, rannchuideoidh an banc ceannais i dtrácht le cúlchistí BCE, leis na soláthairtí sin is comhionann le cúlchistí, agus leis an méid a bheidh fós le leithghabháil leis na cúlchistí agus na soláthairtí i gcomhréir leis an gcomhardú sa chuntas brábúis agus caillteanais amhail ar an 31 Nollaig den bhliain roimh an maolú a aisghairm. Cinnfear an tsuim atá le rannchuidiú trí mhéid na gcúlchistí, mar atá sé sainithe thuas agus mar atá sé luaite i gclár comhardaithe formheasta BCE, a iolrú leis an gcóimheas idir líon na scaireanna arna suibscríobh ag an mbanc ceannais i dtrácht agus líon na scaireanna atá íoctha cheana ag na bainc cheannais eile.

Cinnfear an méadú trí na méideanna faoi seach atá ann an tráth sin a iolrú ar an gcóimheas, laistigh den scála caipitil arna fhairsingiú, idir ualú na mbanc ceannais náisiúnta i dtrácht atá ag teacht isteach agus ualú na mbanc ceannais náisiúnta is comhaltaí de CEBC cheana. Déanfar ualú gach banc ceannais náisiúnta sa scála caipitil a ríomh de réir analaí le hAirteagal 29.1 agus i gcomhlíonadh Airteagal 29.2. Beidh na tréimhsí tagartha a úsáidfear do na sonraí staidrimh comhionann leis na tréimhsí tagartha arna gcur i bhfeidhm don choigeartú cúigbhliantúil is déanaí ar na hualuithe faoi Airteagal 29.3.

(sean-Airteagal 18)
However, by decision of the Board of Governors, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Board of Directors, the Bank may grant financing for investment to be carried out, in whole or in part, outside the territories of Member States.	1. Faoi chuimsiú an chúraim atá leagtha amach in Airteagal 309 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, deonóidh an Banc maoiniú, go háirithe i bhfoirm iasachtaí agus ráthaíochtaí dá chomhaltaí nó do ghnóthais phríobháideacha nó phoiblí le haghaidh infheistíochtaí a bheidh le cur in éifeacht i gcríocha Ballstát, sa mhéid nach bhfuil cistí le fáil ó fhoinsí eile ar théarmaí réasúnta.
2. As far as possible, loans shall be granted only on condition that other sources of finance are also used.	Ach trí chinneadh ón mBord Gobharnóirí, ag gníomhú dó trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón mBord Stiúrthóirí, féadfaidh an Banc maoiniú a dheonú le haghaidh infheistíochtaí a bheidh le cur in éifeacht, go hiomlán nó go páirteach, lasmuigh de chríocha Ballstát.
3. When granting a loan to an undertaking or to a body other than a Member State, the Bank shall make the loan conditional either on a guarantee from the Member State in whose territory the investment will be carried out or on other adequate guarantees, or on the financial strength of the debtor.	2. Chomh fada agus is féidir, ní dheonófar iasachtaí ach ar an gcoinníoll go n-úsáidfear foinsí eile airgeadais freisin.
Furthermore, in accordance with the principles established by the Board of Governors pursuant to Article 7(3)(b), and where the implementation of projects provided for in Article 309 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union so requires, the Board of Directors shall, acting by a qualified majority, lay down the terms and conditions of any financing operation presenting a specific risk profile and thus considered to be a special activity.	3. Nuair a bheidh iasacht á deonú aige do ghnóthas nó do chomhlacht seachas Ballstát, cuirfidh an Banc de choinníoll leis an iasacht sin go bhfaighfear ráthaíocht ón mBallstát ar ina chríoch atá an infheistíocht le cur in éifeacht nó go bhfaighfear ráthaíochtaí leormhaithe eile nó go mbeidh láidreacht airgeadais ag an bhféichiúnaí.
4. The Bank may guarantee loans contracted by public or private undertakings or other bodies for the purpose of carrying out projects provided for in Article 309 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Fairis sin, i gcomhréir leis na prionsabail arna mbunú ag an mBord Gobharnóirí de bhun Airteagal 7(3)(b), agus nuair is gá sin chun na tionscadail dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 309 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a chur chun feidhme, socróidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí, ag gníomhú dó trí thromlach cáilithe, téarmaí agus coinníollacha aon oibríochta um maoiniú a bhfuil próifíl riosca shonrach ag gabháil léi agus a mheastar mar sin mar ghníomhaíocht speisialta.
5. The aggregate amount outstanding at any time of loans and guarantees granted by the Bank shall not exceed 250 % of its subscribed capital, reserves, non-allocated provisions and profit and loss account surplus. The latter aggregate amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount subscribed (whether or not paid in) for any equity participation of the Bank.	4. Féadfaidh an Banc iasachtaí a ráthú a thógfaidh gnóthais phoiblí nó phríobháideacha nó a thógfaidh comhlachtaí eile chun tionscadail dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 309 de na Conarthaí a chur in éifeacht.
The amount of the Bank's disbursed equity participations shall not exceed at any time an amount corresponding to the total of its paid-in subscribed capital, reserves, non-allocated provisions and profit and loss account surplus.	5. An méid comhiomlán a bheidh amuigh tráth ar bith d'iasachtaí agus de ráthaíochtaí ón mBanc, ní mó é ná 250 % dá chaipiteal suibscríofa, dá chúlchistí, dá sholáthairtí neamhchionroinnte agus den bharrachas ón gcuntas brabúis agus caillteanais. Laghdófar an méid comhiomlán sin méid is ionann agus an méid atá suibscríofa, bíodh nó ná bíodh sé íoctha isteach, i gcomhair aon rannpháirtíochta cothromais de chuid an Bhainc.
By way of exception, the special activities of the Bank, as decided by the Board of Governors and the Board of Directors in accordance with paragraph 3, will have a specific allocation of reserve.	Méid na rannpháirtíochtaí cothromais de chuid an Bhainc atá íoctha amach, ní mó é tráth ar bith ná méid is comhfhreagrach le hiomlán a chaipitil shuibscríofa atá íoctha isteach, a chúlchistí, a sholáthairtí neamhchionroinnte agus a bharrachas ón gcuntas brabúis agus caillteanais.
This paragraph shall also apply to the consolidated accounts of the Bank.	Mar eisceacht, beidh ag gníomhaíochtaí speisialta an Bhainc, arna gcinneadh ag an mBord Gobharnóirí agus ag an mBord Stiúrthóirí i gcomhréir le mír 3, cionroinnt shonrach cúlchiste.

1. Interest rates on loans to be granted by the Bank and commission and other charges shall be adjusted to conditions prevailing on the capital market and shall be calculated in such a way that the income therefrom shall enable the Bank to meet its obligations, to cover its expenses and risks and to build up a reserve fund as provided for in Article 22.	(sean-Airteagal 19)
2. The Bank shall not grant any reduction in interest rates. Where a reduction in the interest rate appears desirable in view of the nature of the investment to be financed, the Member State concerned or some other agency may grant aid towards the payment of interest to the extent that this is compatible with Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	1. Déanfar na rátaí úis ar iasachtaí ón mBanc agus coimisiún agus muirir eile a oiriúnú do na coinníollacha atá i dtreis ar mhargadh an chaipitil agus iad a ríomh ar dhóigh go gcuirfidh an t-ioncam astu ar chumas an Bhainc freastal dá oibleagáidí, a chaiteachais agus a rioscaí a ghlanadh agus cúlchiste a thiomargadh mar a fhoráiltear in Airteagal 22.
Article 18	2. Ní dheonóidh an Banc aon laghdú ar rátaí úis. I gcás inar cosúil gur mhaith an rud é an t-ús a laghdú mar gheall ar an saghas infheistíochta atá le maoiniú, féadfaidh an Ballstát atá i gceist nó gníomhaireacht éigin eile cabhair a thabhairt chun íoctha an úis, sa mhéid go luífidh sin le hAirteagal 107 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
(ex Article 20)	Airteagal 18
In its financing operations, the Bank shall observe the following principles:	(sean-Airteagal 20)
1. It shall ensure that its funds are employed as rationally as possible in the interests of the Union.	Ina oibríochtaí i ndáil le maoiniú, urramóidh an Banc na prionsabail seo a leanas:
It may grant loans or guarantees only:	1. Féachfaidh sé chuige go n-úsáidfear a chistí ar an gcuma is réasúnaí is féidir ar mhaithe le leasanna an Aontais.
(a) where, in the case of investments by undertakings in the production sector, interest and amortisation payments are covered out of operating profits or, in the case of other investments, either by a commitment entered into by the State in which the investment is made or by some other means; and	Ní fhéadfaidh sé iasachtaí ná ráthaíochtaí a thabhairt ach amháin:
(b) where the execution of the investment contributes to an increase in economic productivity in general and promotes the attainment of the internal market.	(a) más rud é, i gcás infheistíochtaí atá á gcur in éifeacht ag gnóthais in earnáil an táirgthe, go bhfuil íocaíochtaí in aghaidh úis agus amúchta á gcumhdach as brabúis oibriúcháin nó, i gcás infheistíochtaí eile, trí oibleagáidí faoina ndeachaigh an Stát a bhfuil an infheistíocht á cur in éifeacht ann nó ar mhodh éigin eile; agus
2. It shall neither acquire any interest in an undertaking nor assume any responsibility in its management unless this is required to safeguard the rights of the Bank in ensuring recovery of funds lent.	(b) más rud é go gcuidíonn feidhmiú na hinfheistíochta le méadú ar an táirgiúlacht eacnamaíoch i gcoitinne agus go gcuireann sé gnóthú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh ar aghaidh.
However, in accordance with the principles determined by the Board of Governors pursuant to Article 7(3)(b), and where the implementation of operations provided for in Article 309 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union so requires, the Board of Directors shall, acting by a qualified majority, lay down the terms and conditions for taking an equity participation in a commercial undertaking, normally as a complement to a loan or a guarantee, in so far as this is required to finance an investment or programme.	2. Ní cead dó aon leas a fháil i ngnóthas ná aon fhreagracht a ghlacadh ina bhainistíocht, mura gá sin le go gcosnófaí cearta an Bhainc chun a áirithiú go bhfaighfear ar ais cistí a tugadh ar iasacht.
3. It may dispose of its claims on the capital market and may, to this end, require its debtors to issue bonds or other securities.	Ar a shon sin, i gcomhréir leis na prionsabail arna mbunú ag an mBord Gobharnóirí de bhun Airteagal 7(3)(b), agus nuair is gá sin chun na hoibríochtaí dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 309 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a chur chun feidhme, socróidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí, ag gníomhú dó trí thromlach cáilithe, na téarmaí agus na coinníollacha a bhaineann le rannpháirtíocht cothromais a ghlacadh i ngnóthas tráchtála, de ghnáth mar chomhlánú ar iasacht nó ar ráthaíocht, a mhéid is gá sin chun infheistíocht nó clár a mhaoiniú.
4. Neither the Bank nor the Member States shall impose conditions requiring funds lent by the Bank to be spent within a specified Member State.	3. Féadfaidh sé a chuid éileamh a dhíol ar an margadh caipitil agus, chun na críche sin, féadfaidh sé a cheangal ar a fhéichiúnaithe bannaí nó urrúis eile a eisiúint.
5. The Bank may make its loans conditional on international invitations to tender being arranged.	4. Ní fhorchuirfidh an Banc ná na Ballstáit coinníollacha á cheangal cistí a fuarthas ar iasacht ón mBanc a chaitheamh i gcríoch Bhallstáit shonraithe.
6. The Bank shall not finance, in whole or in part, any investment opposed by the Member State in whose territory it is to be carried out.	5. Féadfaidh an Banc é a chur de choinníoll le hiasachtaí uaidh go ndéanfar socrú le haghaidh iarraidh idirnáisiúnta ar thairiscintí.
7. As a complement to its lending activity, the Bank may provide technical assistance services in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down by the Board of Governors, acting by a qualified majority, and in compliance with this Statute.	6. Ní mhaoineoidh an Banc, go hiomlán ná go páirteach, aon infheistíocht a bhfuil cur ina choinne ag an mBallstát ar ina chríoch atá sí le cur in éifeacht.
Article 19	7. Mar chomhlánú ar a ghníomhaíocht um iasachtú, féadfaidh an Banc seirbhísí cabhrach teicniúla a chur ar fáil i gcomhréir leis na téarmaí agus na coinníollacha arna leagan síos ag an mBord Gobharnóirí, ag gníomhú dó trí thromlach cáilithe, agus i gcomhlíonadh an Reachta seo.

Applications made through a Member State shall be submitted to the Commission for an opinion.

Féadfaidh aon ghnóthas, nó aon eagras poiblí nó príobháideach, iarratas ar mhaoiniú a dhéanamh go díreach chun an Bhainc. Féadfar iarratais a dhéanamh freisin tríd an gCoimisiún nó tríd an mBallstát ar ina chríoch atá an infheistíocht le cur in éifeacht.
The Member State concerned and the Commission shall deliver their opinions within two months. If no reply is received within this period, the Bank may assume that there is no objection to the investment in question.	2. Iarratais a dhéanfar tríd an gCoimisiún, cuirfear iad faoi bhráid an Bhallstáit ar ina chríoch atá an infheistíocht le cur in éifeacht, d'fhonn tuairim a fháil. Iarratais a dhéanfar trí Bhallstát, cuirfear faoi bhráid an Choimisiúin iad le tuairim a fháil. Iarratais a dhéanfaidh gnóthas go díreach, cuirfear iad faoi bhráid an Bhallstáit lena mbaineann agus faoi bhráid an Choimisiúin.
3. The Board of Directors shall rule on financing operations submitted to it by the Management Committee.	Tabharfaidh an Ballstát lena mbaineann agus an Coimisiún a dtuairimí laistigh de dhá mhí. Mura bhfaighfear freagra laistigh den tréimhse sin, féadfaidh an Banc glacadh leis nach bhfuil aon chur i gcoinne an tionscadail.
4. The Management Committee shall examine whether financing operations submitted to it comply with the provisions of this Statute, in particular with Articles 16 and 18. Where the Management Committee is in favour of the financing operation, it shall submit the corresponding proposal to the Board of Directors; the Committee may make its favourable opinion subject to such conditions, as it considers essential. Where the Management Committee is against granting the finance, it shall submit the relevant documents together with its opinion to the Board of Directors.	3. Tabharfaidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí rialú ar oibríochtaí maoinithe a chuirfidh an Coiste Bainistíochta faoina bhráid.
5. Where the Management Committee delivers an unfavourable opinion, the Board of Directors may not grant the finance concerned unless its decision is unanimous.	4. Scrúdóidh an Coiste Bainistíochta na hoibríochtaí maoinithe a cuireadh faoina bhráid féachaint an gcomhlíonann siad forálacha an Reachta seo, go háirithe Airteagail 16 agus 18. Má bhíonn an Coiste Bainistíochta i bhfabhar na hoibríochta maoinithe, cuirfidh sé an togra comhfhreagrach faoi bhráid an Bhord Stiúrthóirí. Féadfaidh an Coiste cibé coinníollacha is fíor-riachtanach leis a chur lena thuairim fhabhrach. Má bhíonn an Coiste Bainistíochta in aghaidh an maoiniú a dheonú, cuirfidh sé na doiciméid iomchuí faoi bhráid an Bhord Stiúrthóirí mar aon lena thuairim.
6. Where the Commission delivers an unfavourable opinion, the Board of Directors may not grant the finance concerned unless its decision is unanimous, the director nominated by the Commission abstaining.	5. Má thugann an Coiste Bainistíochta tuairim neamhfhabhrach, ní fhéadfaidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí an maoiniú áirithe a dheonú mura gcinnfidh sé é sin d'aon toil.
7. Where both the Management Committee and the Commission deliver an unfavourable opinion, the Board of Directors may not grant the finance.	6. Má thugann an Coimisiún tuairim neamhfhabhrach, ní fhéadfaidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí an maoiniú áirithe a dheonú mura gcinnfidh sé é sin d'aon toil, gan an stiúrthóir a bheidh ainmnithe ag an gCoimisiún a bheith páirteach sa vótáil.
8. In the event that a financing operation relating to an approved investment has to be restructured in order to safeguard the Bank's rights and interests, the Management Committee shall take without delay the emergency measures which it deems necessary, subject to immediate reporting thereon to the Board of Directors.	7. Má thugann an Coiste Bainistíochta agus an Coimisiún araon tuairim neamhfhabhrach, ní fhéadfaidh an Bord Stiúrthóirí an maoiniú a dheonú.
Article 20	8. Más gá oibríocht maoinithe a bhaineann le hinfheistíocht fhormheasta a athstruchtúrú chun cearta agus leasanna an Bhainc a chosaint, glacfaidh an Coiste Bainistíochta gan mhoill na bearta éigeandála a mheasann sé is gá, faoi réir an Bord Stiúrthóirí a chur ar an eolas faoi láithreach.

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the special position of Denmark,	ÓS MIAN LEO acquis Schengen a chaomhnú, forbartha mar atá ó tháinig Conradh Amstardam i bhfeidhm agus é a fhorbairt chun rannchuidiú leis an gcuspóir a ghnóthú limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais gan teorainneacha inmheánacha a chur ar fáil do shaoránaigh an Aontais,

Article 2	Údarófar do Ríocht na Beilge, do Phoblacht na Bulgáire, do Phoblacht na Seice, do Ríocht na Danmhairge, do Phoblacht Chónaidhme na Gearmáine, do Phoblacht na hEastóine, don Phoblacht Heilléanach, do Ríocht na Spáinne, do Phoblacht na Fraince, do Phoblacht na hIodáile, do Phoblacht na Cipire, do Phoblacht na Laitvia, do Phoblacht na Liotuáine, d'Ard-Diúcacht Lucsamburg, do Phoblacht na hUngáire, do Phoblacht Mhálta, do Ríocht na hÍsiltíre, do Phoblacht na hOstaire, do Phoblacht na Polainne, do Phoblacht na Portaingéile, don Rómáin, do Phoblacht na Slóivéine, do Phoblacht na Slóvaice, do Phoblacht na Fionlainne agus do Ríocht na Sualainne comhar níos dlúithe a bhunú eatarthu féin sna réimsí a thig faoi fhorálacha arna sainiú ag an gComhairle arb éard iad acquis Schengen. Seolfar an comhar sin laistigh de chreat institiúideach dlíthiúil an Aontais Eorpaigh agus forálacha ábhartha na gConarthaí á n-urramú.
The Schengen acquis shall apply to the Member States referred to in Article 1, without prejudice to Article 3 of the Act of Accession of 16 April 2003 or to Article 4 of the Act of Accession of 25 April 2005. The Council will substitute itself for the Executive Committee established by the Schengen agreements.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	Beidh feidhm ag acquis Schengen maidir leis na Ballstáit dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 1, gan dochar d'Airteagal 3 d'Ionstraim Aontachais an 16 Aibreán 2003 ná d'Airteagal 4 d'Ionstraim Aontachais an 25 Aibreán 2005. Gabhfaidh an Chomhairle ionad an Choiste Feidhmiúcháin arna chur ar bun le comhaontuithe Schengen.
The participation of Denmark in the adoption of measures constituting a development of the Schengen acquis, as well as the implementation of these measures and their application to Denmark, shall be governed by the relevant provisions of the Protocol on the position of Denmark.	Airteagal 3
Article 4	Beidh rannpháirtíocht na Danmhairge i nglacadh beart arb éard iad forbairt ar acquis Schengen, maille leis na bearta sin a chur chun feidhme agus a chur i bhfeidhm sa Danmhairg, faoi rialú ag forálacha ábhartha an Phrótacail maidir le seasamh na Danmhairge.
Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland may at any time request to take part in some or all of the provisions of the Schengen acquis.	Airteagal 4
The Council shall decide on the request with the unanimity of its members referred to in Article 1 and of the representative of the Government of the State concerned.	Féadfaidh Éire agus Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann a iarraidh, tráth ar bith, bheith rannpháirteach i bhforálacha uile acquis Schengen nó i roinnt díobh.
Article 5	Cinnfidh an Chomhairle ar an iarraidh le haontoilíocht na gcomhaltaí sin dá cuid dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 1 agus ionadaí rialtas an Stáit i dtrácht.
1. Proposals and initiatives to build upon the Schengen acquis shall be subject to the relevant provisions of the Treaties.	Airteagal 5
In this context, where either Ireland or the United Kingdom has not notified the Council in writing within a reasonable period that it wishes to take part, the authorisation referred to in Article 329 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be deemed to have been granted to the Member States referred to in Article 1 and to Ireland or the United Kingdom where either of them wishes to take part in the areas of cooperation in question.	1. Beidh tograí agus tionscnaimh chun cur le acquis Schengen faoi réir fhorálacha ábhartha na gConarthaí.
2. Where either Ireland or the United Kingdom is deemed to have given notification pursuant to a decision under Article 4, it may nevertheless notify the Council in writing, within three months, that it does not wish to take part in such a proposal or initiative. In that case, Ireland or the United Kingdom shall not take part in its adoption. As from the latter notification, the procedure for adopting the measure building upon the Schengen acquis shall be suspended until the end of the procedure set out in paragraphs 3 or 4 or until the notification is withdrawn at any moment during that procedure.	Sa chomhthéacs sin, mura mbeidh fógra i scríbhinn tugtha ag Éirinn nó ag an Ríocht Aontaithe don Chomhairle laistigh de thréimhse réasúnta gur mian léi a bheith rannpháirteach, measfar an t-údarú dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 329 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a bheith deonaithe do na Ballstáit dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 1 agus d'Éirinn nó don Ríocht Aontaithe nuair is mian le ceachtar díobh a bheith rannpháirteach sna réimsí comhair atá i gceist.
3. For the Member State having made the notification referred to in paragraph 2, any decision taken by the Council pursuant to Article 4 shall, as from the date of entry into force of the proposed measure, cease to apply to the extent considered necessary by the Council and under the conditions to be determined in a decision of the Council acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission. That decision shall be taken in accordance with the following criteria: the Council shall seek to retain the widest possible measure of participation of the Member State concerned without seriously affecting the practical operability of the various parts of the Schengen acquis, while respecting their coherence. The Commission shall submit its proposal as soon as possible after the notification referred to in paragraph 2. The Council shall, if needed after convening two successive meetings, act within four months of the Commission proposal.	2. Má mheastar go bhfuil fógra tugtha ag Éirinn nó ag an Ríocht Aontaithe de bhun cinnidh faoi Airteagal 4, féadfaidh ceachtar acu, mar sin féin, fógra a thabhairt don Chomhairle i scríbhinn, taobh istigh de 3 mhí, nach mian léi a bheith rannpháirteach i dtogra nó i dtionscnamh den sórt sin. Sa chás sin, ní bheidh Éire ná an Ríocht Aontaithe rannpháirteach ina ghlacadh. Ón bhfógra deiridh sin ar aghaidh, déanfar an nós imeachta chun an beart chun cur le acquis Schengen a fhionraí go dtí deireadh an nós imeachta a leagtar amach i mír 3 nó i mír 4 nó go dtí go n-aisghairfear an fógra sin tráth ar bith le linn an nós imeachta sin.
4. If, by the end of the period of four months, the Council has not adopted a decision, a Member State may, without delay, request that the matter be referred to the European Council. In that case, the European Council shall, at its next meeting, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, take a decision in accordance with the criteria referred to in paragraph 3.	3. I dtaca le Ballstát a bhfuil an fógra tugtha aige dá dtagraítear i mír 2, ní bheidh feidhm a thuilleadh maidir leis ag aon chinneadh a dhéanfaidh an Chomhairle de bhun Airteagal 4, ón dáta a dtiocfaidh an beart molta i bhfeidhm, a mhéid a mheasfaidh an Chomhairle is gá sin agus faoi na coinníollacha a chinnfear i gcinneadh ón gComhairle a fheidhmeoidh trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún. Déanfar an cinneadh sin i gcomhréir leis na critéir seo a leanas: féachfaidh an Chomhairle lena oiread rannpháirtíochta ón mBallstát lena mbaineann agus is féidir a choinneáil gan dochar tromchúiseach a dhéanamh d'inoibritheacht phraiticiúil na gcodanna éagsúla d'acquis Schengen, agus a gcomhchuibheas á urramú. Cuirfidh an Coimisiún a thogra isteach a luaithe is féidir tar éis an fhógra dá dtagraítear i mír 2. Gníomhóidh an Chomhairle, más gá tar éis dhá chruinniú i ndiaidh a chéile a chomóradh, taobh istigh de cheithre mhí den togra ón gCoimisiún.
5. If, by the end of the procedure set out in paragraphs 3 or 4, the Council or, as the case may be, the European Council has not adopted its decision, the suspension of the procedure for adopting the measure building upon the Schengen acquis shall be terminated. If the said measure is subsequently adopted any decision taken by the Council pursuant to Article 4 shall, as from the date of entry into force of that measure, cease to apply for the Member State concerned to the extent and under the conditions decided by the Commission, unless the said Member State has withdrawn its notification referred to in paragraph 2 before the adoption of the measure. The Commission shall act by the date of this adoption. When taking its decision, the Commission shall respect the criteria referred to in paragraph 3.	4. Mura mbeidh cinneadh glactha ag an gComhairle faoi dheireadh na tréimhse ceithre mhí, féadfaidh Ballstát a éileamh ar an toirt go gcuirfí an t-ábhar faoi bhráid na Comhairle Eorpaí. Sa chás sin, déanfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, cinneadh a ghlacadh i gcomhréir leis na critéir dá dtagraítear i mír 3 ag an gcéad chruinniú eile a bheidh aici.
Article 6	5. Má tharlaíonn, faoi dheireadh an nós imeachta a leagtar amach i mír 3 nó i mír 4, nach bhfuil a cinneadh glactha ag an gComhairle nó ag an gComhairle Eorpach, de réir mar a bheidh, déanfar fionraí an nós imeachta maidir le beart chun cur le acquis Schengen a ghlacadh a fhoirceannadh. Má ghlactar an beart sin ina dhiaidh sin, ní bheidh feidhm feasta ag aon chinneadh a dhéanfaidh an Chomhairle de bhun Airteagal 4, ón dáta a dtiocfaidh an beart sin i bhfeidhm, maidir leis an mBallstát lena mbaineann a mhéad a chinnfidh an Coimisiún agus faoi na coinníollacha a chinnfidh an Coimisiún, mura mbeidh an fógra dá dtagraítear i mír 2 tarraingthe siar ag an mBallstát sin sula nglacfar an beart. Gníomhóidh an Coimisiún roimh dháta an ghlactha sin. Nuair a bheidh a chinneadh á dhéanamh aige, urramóidh an Coimisiún na critéir dá dtagraítear i mír 3.
The Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway shall be associated with the implementation of the Schengen acquis and its further development. Appropriate procedures shall be agreed to that effect in an Agreement to be concluded with those States by the Council, acting by the unanimity of its Members mentioned in Article 1. Such Agreement shall include provisions on the contribution of Iceland and Norway to any financial consequences resulting from the implementation of this Protocol.	Airteagal 6
A separate Agreement shall be concluded with Iceland and Norway by the Council, acting unanimously, for the establishment of rights and obligations between Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the one hand, and Iceland and Norway on the other, in domains of the Schengen acquis which apply to these States.	Beidh Poblacht na hÍoslainne agus Ríocht na hIorua bainteach le acquis Schengen a chur chun feidhme agus a fhorbairt tuilleadh. Comhaontófar ar nósanna imeachta iomchuí chuige sin i gComhaontú a dhéanfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di le haontoilíocht na gcomhaltaí sin dá cuid atá luaite in Airteagal 1, a thabhairt i gcrích leis na Stáit sin. Cuimseoidh Comhaontú den sórt sin forálacha maidir le rannchuidiú na hÍoslainne agus na hIorua le haon iarmhairtí airgeadais a thig ón bPrótacal seo a chur chun feidhme.
Article 7	Tabharfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil, Comhaontú ar leith i gcrích leis an Íoslainn agus an Iorua ar mhaithe le cearta agus oibleagáidí a bhunú idir Éire agus Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann de pháirt amháin, agus an Íoslainn agus an Iorua de pháirt eile, i réimsí de acquis Schengen a bhfuil feidhm acu maidir leis na Stáit sin.
For the purposes of the negotiations for the admission of new Member States into the European Union, the Schengen acquis and further measures taken by the institutions within its scope shall be regarded as an acquis which must be accepted in full by all States candidates for admission.	Airteagal 7
PROTOCOL (No 20)	Chun críche na caibidlíochta chun Ballstáit nua a ligean isteach san Aontas Eorpach, measfar gur acquis nach foláir do gach Stát is iarrthóir glacadh leis ina iomláine acquis Schengen agus bearta eile arna nglacadh ag na hinstitiúidí laistigh dá raon feidhme.

Subject to Article 3, the United Kingdom and Ireland shall not take part in the adoption by the Council of proposed measures pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The unanimity of the members of the Council, with the exception of the representatives of the governments of the United Kingdom and Ireland, shall be necessary for decisions of the Council which must be adopted unanimously.	Airteagal 1
For the purposes of this Article, a qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Faoi réir Airteagal 3, ní bheidh an Ríocht Aontaithe agus Éire rannpháirteach nuair a ghlacfaidh an Chomhairle bearta arna mbeartú de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh. Beidh gá le haontoilíocht chomhaltaí na Comhairle, seachas ionadaithe rialtais na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann, i gcás chinntí na Comhairle nach foláir a ghlacadh d'aon toil.
Article 2	Chun críocha an Airteagail seo, saineofar tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
In consequence of Article 1 and subject to Articles 3, 4 and 6, none of the provisions of Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, no measure adopted pursuant to that Title, no provision of any international agreement concluded by the Union pursuant to that Title, and no decision of the Court of Justice interpreting any such provision or measure shall be binding upon or applicable in the United Kingdom or Ireland; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the competences, rights and obligations of those States; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the Community or Union acquis nor form part of Union law as they apply to the United Kingdom or Ireland.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	De dhroim Airteagal 1 agus faoi réir Airteagail 3, 4 agus 6, ní bheidh aon fhoráil de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, aon bheart arna ghlacadh de bhun an Teidil sin, aon fhoráil d'aon chomhaontú idirnáisiúnta arna thabhairt i gcrích ag an Aontas de bhun an Teidil sin ná aon bhreith de chuid Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh ag léiriú aon fhorála nó birt den sórt sin ina cheangal ar an Ríocht Aontaithe ná ar Éirinn ná infheidhme iontu; agus ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, beart ná cinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith d'inniúlachtaí, cearta agus oibleagáidí na Stát sin; agus ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, beart ná cinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith don acquis communautaire ná d'acquis an Aontais ná ní bheidh siad ina gcuid de dhlí an Aontais mar a bheidh feidhm ag an acquis agus an dlí sin maidir leis an Ríocht Aontaithe nó le hÉirinn.
1. The United Kingdom or Ireland may notify the President of the Council in writing, within three months after a proposal or initiative has been presented to the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, that it wishes to take part in the adoption and application of any such proposed measure, whereupon that State shall be entitled to do so.	Airteagal 3
The unanimity of the members of the Council, with the exception of a member which has not made such a notification, shall be necessary for decisions of the Council which must be adopted unanimously. A measure adopted under this paragraph shall be binding upon all Member States which took part in its adoption.	1. Féadfaidh an Ríocht Aontaithe nó Éire fógra a thabhairt i scríbhinn d'Uachtarán na Comhairle, laistigh de thrí mhí tar éis do thogra nó tionscnamh a bheith tíolactha don Chomhairle de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, gur mian léi bheith rannpháirteach in aon bheart beartaithe den sórt sin a ghlacadh agus a chur i bhfeidhm, agus leis sin, beidh an Stát sin i dteideal bheith rannpháirteach amhlaidh.
Measures adopted pursuant to Article 70 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall lay down the conditions for the participation of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the evaluations concerning the areas covered by Title V of Part Three of that Treaty.	Beidh gá le haontoilíocht chomhaltaí na Comhairle, seachas comhalta nach mbeidh fógra den sórt sin tugtha aige, i gcás chinntí na Comhairle nach foláir a ghlacadh d'aon toil. Beidh beart arna ghlacadh faoin mír seo ina cheangal ar na Ballstáit uile a bheidh rannpháirteach ina ghlacadh.
For the purposes of this Article, a qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Leagfar síos le bearta arna nglacadh de bhun Airteagal 70 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh na coinníollacha do rannpháirtíocht na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann sna meastacháin a bhaineann leis na réimsí atá folaithe le Teideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh sin.
2. If after a reasonable period of time a measure referred to in paragraph 1 cannot be adopted with the United Kingdom or Ireland taking part, the Council may adopt such measure in accordance with Article 1 without the participation of the United Kingdom or Ireland. In that case Article 2 applies.	Chun críocha an Airteagail seo, saineofar tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
Article 4	2. Murar féidir tar éis tréimhse réasúnta beart dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a ghlacadh le rannpháirtíocht na Ríochta Aontaithe nó na hÉireann, féadfaidh an Chomhairle beart den sórt sin a ghlacadh i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 1 gan rannpháirtíocht na Ríochta Aontaithe nó na hÉireann. Sa chás sin, beidh feidhm ag Airteagal 2.
The United Kingdom or Ireland may at any time after the adoption of a measure by the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union notify its intention to the Council and to the Commission that it wishes to accept that measure. In that case, the procedure provided for in Article 331(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall apply mutatis mutandis.	Airteagal 4
Article 4a	Féadfaidh an Ríocht Aontaithe nó Éire, tráth ar bith tar éis don Chomhairle beart a ghlacadh de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, fógra faoina hintinn a thabhairt don Chomhairle agus don Choimisiún gur mian léi glacadh leis an mbeart sin. Sa chás sin, beidh feidhm mutatis mutandis ag an nós imeachta dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 331(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
1. The provisions of this Protocol apply for the United Kingdom and Ireland also to measures proposed or adopted pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union amending an existing measure by which they are bound.	Airteagal 4a
2. However, in cases where the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, determines that the non-participation of the United Kingdom or Ireland in the amended version of an existing measure makes the application of that measure inoperable for other Member States or the Union, it may urge them to make a notification under Article 3 or 4. For the purposes of Article 3, a further period of two months starts to run as from the date of such determination by the Council.	1. Beidh feidhm ag forálacha an Phrótacail seo maidir leis an Ríocht Aontaithe agus le hÉirinn chomh maith maidir le bearta a mholfar nó a ghlacfar de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh lena leasófar beart atá ann cheana atá ina cheangal orthu.
If at the expiry of that period of two months from the Council's determination the United Kingdom or Ireland has not made a notification under Article 3 or Article 4, the existing measure shall no longer be binding upon or applicable to it, unless the Member State concerned has made a notification under Article 4 before the entry into force of the amending measure. This shall take effect from the date of entry into force of the amending measure or of expiry of the period of two months, whichever is the later.	2. I gcásanna, áfach, ina gcinnfidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, nach bhféadfaí, gan rannpháirtíocht na Ríochta Aontaithe nó na hÉireann sa leagan leasaithe de bheart atá ann, an beart sin a chur i bhfeidhm i leith Ballstát eile nó i leith an Aontais, féadfaidh sí a áiteamh orthu fógra a thabhairt faoi Airteagal 3 nó faoi Airteagal 4. Chun críocha Airteagal 3 tosóidh tréimhse bhreise dhá mhí ón dáta a gcinnfidh an Chomhairle amhlaidh.
For the purpose of this paragraph, the Council shall, after a full discussion of the matter, act by a qualified majority of its members representing the Member States participating or having participated in the adoption of the amending measure. A qualified majority of the Council shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Má tharlaíonn, nuair a rachaidh an tréimhse dhá mhí sin ó chinneadh na Comhairle in éag, nach mbeidh fógra tugtha ag an Ríocht Aontaithe ná ag Éirinn faoi Airteagal 3 nó faoi Airteagal 4, ní bheidh an beart atá ann ina cheangal uirthi ná ní bheidh sé infheidhme maidir léi a thuilleadh, mura mbeidh fógra faoi Airteagal 4 tugtha ag an mBallstát lena mbaineann sula dtiocfaidh an beart leasaitheach i bhfeidhm. Gabhfaidh éifeacht leis seo ón dáta a dtiocfaidh an beart leasaitheach i bhfeidhm nó ón dáta a rachaidh an tréimhse dhá mhí in éag, cibé acu is déanaí.
3. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may determine that the United Kingdom or Ireland shall bear the direct financial consequences, if any, necessarily and unavoidably incurred as a result of the cessation of its participation in the existing measure.	Chun críche na míre seo, gníomhóidh an Chomhairle, tar éis plé iomlán ar an ábhar, trí thromlach cáilithe dá comhaltaí a ionadaíonn do na Ballstáit a bheidh rannpháirteach nó a bhí rannpháirteach i nglacadh an bhirt leasaithigh. Saineofar tromlach cáilithe den Chomhairle i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3)(a) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
4. This Article shall be without prejudice to Article 4.	3. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, a chinneadh go n-iompróidh an Ríocht Aontaithe nó Éire na hiarmhairtí díreacha airgeadais, más ann dóibh, a thabhófar le riachtanas agus ar dhóigh dhosheachanta de thoradh a rannpháirtíochta sa bheart atá ann a scor.
Article 5	4. Ní dhéanfaidh an tAirteagal seo dochar d'Airteagal 4.
A Member State which is not bound by a measure adopted pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall bear no financial consequences of that measure other than administrative costs entailed for the institutions, unless all members of the Council, acting unanimously after consulting the European Parliament, decide otherwise.	Airteagal 5
Article 6	Ní iompróidh Ballstát nach bhfuil faoi cheangal ag beart arna ghlacadh de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh aon iarmhairtí airgeadais a ghabhann leis an mbeart sin seachas costais riarthacha a thabhóidh na hinstitiúidí, ach amháin má chinneann comhaltaí uile na Comhairle a mhalairt, ag gníomhú dóibh d'aon toil tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa.
Where, in cases referred to in this Protocol, the United Kingdom or Ireland is bound by a measure adopted by the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the relevant provisions of the Treaties shall apply to that State in relation to that measure.	Airteagal 6
Article 6a	Más rud é, i gcásanna dá dtagraítear sa Phrótacal seo, go mbeidh beart arna ghlacadh ag an gComhairle de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh ina cheangal ar an Ríocht Aontaithe nó ar Éirinn, beidh feidhm ag forálacha ábhartha na gConarthaí, maidir leis an Stát sin i ndáil leis an mbeart sin.
The United Kingdom and Ireland shall not be bound by the rules laid down on the basis of Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which relate to the processing of personal data by the Member States when carrying out activities which fall within the scope of Chapter 4 or Chapter 5 of Title V of Part Three of that Treaty where the United Kingdom and Ireland are not bound by the rules governing the forms of judicial cooperation in criminal matters or police cooperation which require compliance with the provisions laid down on the basis of Article 16.	Airteagal 6a
Article 7	Na rialacha a leagtar síos ar bhonn Airteagal 16 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus a bhaineann le próiseáil sonraí pearsanta ag na Ballstáit agus gníomhaíochtaí á gcur i gcrích acu a thig faoi raon feidhme Chaibidil 4 nó Chaibidil 5 de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh sin, ní bheidh siad ina gceangal ar an Ríocht Aontaithe ná ar Éirinn nuair nach mbeidh na rialacha ina gceangal orthu lena rialaítear cineálacha an chomhair bhreithiúnaigh in ábhair choiriúla nó cineálacha an chomhair phóilíneachta a cheanglaíonn na forálacha a leagtar síos ar bhonn Airteagal 16 a chomhlíonadh.
Articles 3, 4 and 4a shall be without prejudice to the Protocol on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union.	Airteagal 7
Article 8	Beidh Airteagail 3, 4 agus 4a gan dochar don Phrótacal maidir le acquis Schengen arna lánpháirtiú i gcreat an Aontais Eorpaigh.
Ireland may notify the Council in writing that it no longer wishes to be covered by the terms of this Protocol. In that case, the normal treaty provisions will apply to Ireland.	Airteagal 8
Article 9	Féadfaidh Éire fógra a thabhairt i scríbhinn don Chomhairle nach mian léi bheith faoi réir théarmaí an Phrótacail seo a thuilleadh. Sa chás sin, beidh feidhm ag gnáthfhorálacha an Chonartha maidir le hÉirinn.
With regard to Ireland, this Protocol shall not apply to Article 75 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Airteagal 9
PROTOCOL (No 22)	A mhéid a bhaineann le hÉirinn, ní bheidh feidhm ag an bPrótacal seo maidir le hAirteagal 75 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
ON THE POSITION OF DENMARK	PRÓTACAL (Uimh. 22)
THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES,	MAIDIR LE SEASAMH NA DANMHAIRGE
RECALLING the Decision of the Heads of State or Government, meeting within the European Council at Edinburgh on 12 December 1992, concerning certain problems raised by Denmark on the Treaty on European Union,	TÁ NA hARDPHÁIRTITHE CONARTHACHA,
HAVING NOTED the position of Denmark with regard to Citizenship, Economic and Monetary Union, Defence Policy and Justice and Home Affairs as laid down in the Edinburgh Decision,	AG MEABHRÚ DÓIBH an Chinnidh ó na Ceannairí Stáit nó Rialtais, ag teacht le chéile dóibh i dtionól na Comhairle Eorpaí i nDún Éideann ar an 12 Nollaig 1992, maidir le fadhbanna áirithe arna dtógáil ag an Danmhairg maidir leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach,
CONSCIOUS of the fact that a continuation under the Treaties of the legal regime originating in the Edinburgh decision will significantly limit Denmark's participation in important areas of cooperation of the Union, and that it would be in the best interest of the Union to ensure the integrity of the acquis in the area of freedom, security and justice,	TAR ÉIS A THABHAIRT DÁ nAIRE seasamh na Danmhairge maidir le Saoránacht, le hAontas Eacnamaíoch agus Airgeadaíochta, leis an mBeartas Cosanta agus le Ceartas agus Gnóthaí Baile mar atá sé leagtha síos i gCinneadh Dhún Éideann,
WISHING therefore to establish a legal framework that will provide an option for Denmark to participate in the adoption of measures proposed on the basis of Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and welcoming the intention of Denmark to avail itself of this option when possible in accordance with its constitutional requirements,	ÓS FEASACH DÓIBH go ndéanfaidh leanúint faoi na Conarthaí de na socruithe dlí a d'eascair ó Chinneadh Dhún Éideann rannpháirtíocht na Danmhairge i réimsí tábhachtacha den chomhar san Aontas a theorannú go suntasach agus gurb é lár leas an Aontais iomláine an acquis a áirithiú i réimse na saoirse, na slándála agus an cheartais,
NOTING that Denmark will not prevent the other Member States from further developing their cooperation with respect to measures not binding on Denmark,	ÓS MIAN LEO mar sin creat dlí a bhunú a thabharfaidh rogha don Danmhairg a bheith rannpháirteach i nglacadh na mbeart arna mbeartú ar bhonn Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus ag fáiltiú dóibh roimh intinn na Danmhairge leas a bhaint as an rogha sin nuair is féidir i gcomhréir lena riachtanais bhunreachtúla,
BEARING IN MIND Article 3 of the Protocol on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union,	AG TABHAIRT DÁ nAIRE nach gcoiscfidh an Danmhairg na Ballstáit eile ar a gcomhar a fhorbairt tuilleadh i ndáil le bearta nach bhfuil ina gceangal ar an Danmhairg,
HAVE AGREED UPON the following provisions, which shall be annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union:	AG COIMEÁD I gCUIMHNE DÓIBH Airteagal 3 den Phrótacal maidir le acquis Schengen arna lánpháirtiú i gcreat an Aontais Eorpaigh,
PART I	TAR ÉIS COMHAONTÚ ar na forálacha seo a leanas, a chuirfear i gceangal leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus leis an gConradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh:
Article 1	CUID I
Denmark shall not take part in the adoption by the Council of proposed measures pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The unanimity of the members of the Council, with the exception of the representative of the government of Denmark, shall be necessary for the decisions of the Council which must be adopted unanimously.	Airteagal 1
For the purposes of this Article, a qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Ní bheidh an Danmhairg rannpháirteach nuair a ghlacfaidh an Chomhairle bearta arna mbeartú de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh. Beidh gá le haontoilíocht chomhaltaí na Comhairle, seachas ionadaí rialtas na Danmhairge, i gcás chinntí na Comhairle nach foláir a ghlacadh d'aon toil.
Article 2	Chun críocha an Airteagail seo, saineofar tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
None of the provisions of Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, no measure adopted pursuant to that Title, no provision of any international agreement concluded by the Union pursuant to that Title, and no decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union interpreting any such provision or measure or any measure amended or amendable pursuant to that Title shall be binding upon or applicable in Denmark; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the competences, rights and obligations of Denmark; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the Community or Union acquis nor form part of Union law as they apply to Denmark. In particular, acts of the Union in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters adopted before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon which are amended shall continue to be binding upon and applicable to Denmark unchanged.	Airteagal 2
Article 2a	Ní bheidh aon fhoráil de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, aon bheart arna ghlacadh de bhun an Teidil sin, aon fhoráil d'aon chomhaontú idirnáisiúnta arna thabhairt i gcrích ag an Aontas de bhun an Teidil sin, ná aon chinneadh ó Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh ag léiriú aon fhoráil nó aon bheart den sórt sin nó aon bheart a leasaíodh nó atá inleasaithe de bhun an Teidil sin ina cheangal nó ina ceangal ar an Danmhairg ná infheidhme inti; agus ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, aon bheart ná aon chinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith d'inniúlachtaí, do chearta ná d'oibleagáidí na Danmhairge; agus ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, aon bheart ná aon chinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith don acquis Comhphobail ná Aontais ná ní bheidh siad ina gcuid de dhlí an Aontais mar a bheidh feidhm ag an acquis agus an dlí sin maidir leis an Danmhairg. Go háirithe, leanfaidh gníomhartha an Aontais i réimse an chomhair phóilíneachta agus an chomhair bhreithiúnaigh in ábhair choiriúla a glacadh sula dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm agus a ndearnadh leasú orthu de cheangal a bheith acu ar an Danmhairg agus de bheith infheidhme maidir léi, gan athrú.
Article 2 of this Protocol shall also apply in respect of those rules laid down on the basis of Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which relate to the processing of personal data by the Member States when carrying out activities which fall within the scope of Chapter 4 or Chapter 5 of Title V of Part Three of that Treaty.	Airteagal 2a
Article 3	Beidh feidhm ag Airteagal 2 den Phrótacal seo freisin maidir leis na rialacha sin a leagtar síos ar bhonn Airteagal 16 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a bhaineann le daoine aonair a chosaint i dtaca le sonraí pearsanta a bheith á bpróiseáil ag na Ballstáit nuair atá gníomhaíochtaí á gcur i gcrích acu a thig faoi raon feidhme Chaibidil 4 nó Chaibidil 5 de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh sin.
Denmark shall bear no financial consequences of measures referred to in Article 1, other than administrative costs entailed for the institutions.	Airteagal 3
Article 4	Ní iompróidh an Danmhairg aon iarmhairtí airgeadais a ghabhann le bearta dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 1, seachas costais riarthacha a thabhóidh na hinstitiúidí.
1. Denmark shall decide within a period of six months after the Council has decided on a proposal or initiative to build upon the Schengen acquis covered by this Part, whether it will implement this measure in its national law. If it decides to do so, this measure will create an obligation under international law between Denmark and the other Member States bound by the measure.	Airteagal 4
2. If Denmark decides not to implement a measure of the Council as referred to in paragraph 1, the Member States bound by that measure and Denmark will consider appropriate measures to be taken.	1. Cinnfidh an Danmhairg, laistigh de thréimhse sé mhí tar éis don Chomhairle beart a ghlacadh ar thogra nó tionscnamh chun cur le acquis Schengen atá folaithe leis an gCuid seo, an gcuirfidh sí an beart sin chun feidhme ina dlí náisiúnta. Má chinneann sí é sin a dhéanamh, cruthóidh an beart sin oibleagáid faoin dlí idirnáisiúnta idir an Danmhairg agus na Ballstáit eile a mbeidh an beart ina cheangal orthu.
PART II	2. Má chinneann an Danmhairg gan beart ón gComhairle dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a chur chun feidhme, déanfaidh na Ballstáit a mbeidh an beart sin ina cheangal orthu agus an Danmhairg na bearta iomchuí a bheidh le glacadh a mheas.
Article 5	CUID II
With regard to measures adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 26(1), Article 42 and Articles 43 to 46 of the Treaty on European Union, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and the implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications. Therefore Denmark shall not participate in their adoption. Denmark will not prevent the other Member States from further developing their cooperation in this area. Denmark shall not be obliged to contribute to the financing of operational expenditure arising from such measures, nor to make military capabilities available to the Union.	Airteagal 5
The unanimity of the members of the Council, with the exception of the representative of the government of Denmark, shall be necessary for the acts of the Council which must be adopted unanimously.	I dtaca le bearta arna nglacadh ag an gComhairle de bhun Airteagal 26(1), Airteagal 42 agus Airteagail 43 go 46 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, ní bhíonn an Danmhairg rannpháirteach i ndréachtú agus cur chun feidhme cinntí agus gníomhaíochtaí de chuid an Aontais a bhfuil impleachtaí cosanta acu. Dá bhrí sin, ní bheidh an Danmhairg rannpháirteach i nglacadh na mbeart sin. Ní choiscfidh an Danmhairg na Ballstáit eile ar a gcomhar a fhorbairt tuilleadh sa réimse sin. Ní bheidh d'iallach ar an Danmhairg rannchuidiú le maoiniú an chaiteachais oibríochtúil a thig ó na bearta sin ná cumais mhíleata a chur ar fáil don Aontas.
For the purposes of this Article, a qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Beidh gá le haontoilíocht chomhaltaí na Comhairle, seachas ionadaí rialtas na Danmhairge, do ghníomhartha na Comhairle nach foláir a ghlacadh d'aon toil.
PART III	Chun críocha an Airteagail seo, saineofar tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
Article 6	CUID III
Articles 1, 2 and 3 shall not apply to measures determining the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders of the Member States, or measures relating to a uniform format for visas.	Airteagal 6
PART IV	Ní bheidh feidhm ag Airteagail 1, 2 agus 3 maidir le bearta ag cinneadh na dtríú tíortha a mbeidh ar a náisiúnaigh víosa a bheith ina seilbh acu nuair a bheidh teorainneacha seachtracha na mBallstát á dtrasnú acu, ná ar bhearta maidir le formáid chomhionann do víosaí.
Article 7	CUID IV
At any time Denmark may, in accordance with its constitutional requirements, inform the other Member States that it no longer wishes to avail itself of all or part of this Protocol. In that event, Denmark will apply in full all relevant measures then in force taken within the framework of the European Union.	Airteagal 7
Article 8	Féadfaidh an Danmhairg tráth ar bith, i gcomhréir lena rialacha bunreachtúla, a chur in iúl do na Ballstáit eile nach mian léi leas a bhaint a thuilleadh as an Prótacal seo nó cuid de. Sa chás sin, cuirfidh an Danmhairg i bhfeidhm go hiomlán na bearta ábhartha uile a bheidh i bhfeidhm ag an am sin arna nglacadh i gcreat an Aontais Eorpaigh.
1. At any time and without prejudice to Article 7, Denmark may, in accordance with its constitutional requirements, notify the other Member States that, with effect from the first day of the month following the notification, Part I shall consist of the provisions in the Annex. In that case Articles 5 to 8 shall be renumbered in consequence.	Airteagal 8
2. Six months after the date on which the notification referred to in paragraph 1 takes effect all Schengen acquis and measures adopted to build upon this acquis, which until then have been binding on Denmark as obligations under international law, shall be binding upon Denmark as Union law.	1. Tráth ar bith agus gan dochar d'Airteagal 7, féadfaidh an Danmhairg, i gcomhréir lena rialacha bunreachtúla, fógra a thabhairt do na Ballstáit eile gurb éard é Cuid I den Phrótacal seo, amhail ón gcéad lá den mhí i ndiaidh an fhógra, na forálacha san Iarscríbhinn. Sa chás sin, déanfar Airteagail 5 go 8 a athuimhriú dá réir.
ANNEX	2. Sé mhí tar éis an dáta a ghabhfaidh éifeacht leis an bhfógra dá dtagraítear i mír 1, beidh acquis Schengen uile agus bearta arna nglacadh chun cur leis an acquis sin, a bhí ina gceangal ar an Danmhairg go dtí sin mar oibleagáidí faoin dlí idirnáisiúnta, ina gceangal ar an Danmhairg mar chuid de dhlí an Aontais.
Article 1	IARSCRÍBHINN
Subject to Article 3, Denmark shall not take part in the adoption by the Council of measures proposed pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The unanimity of the members of the Council, with the exception of the representative of the government of Denmark, shall be necessary for the acts of the Council which must be adopted unanimously.	Airteagal 1
For the purposes of this Article, a qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Faoi réir Airteagal 3, ní bheidh an Danmhairg rannpháirteach nuair a ghlacfaidh an Chomhairle bearta arna mbeartú de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh. Beidh gá le haontoilíocht chomhaltaí na Comhairle, seachas ionadaí rialtas na Danmhairge, do chinntí na Comhairle nach foláir a ghlacadh d'aon toil.
Article 2	Chun críocha an Airteagail seo, saineofar tromlach cáilithe i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
Pursuant to Article 1 and subject to Articles 3, 4 and 8, none of the provisions in Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, no measure adopted pursuant to that Title, no provision of any international agreements concluded by the Union pursuant to that Title, no decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union interpreting any such provision or measure shall be binding upon or applicable in Denmark; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the competences, rights and obligations of Denmark; and no such provision, measure or decision shall in any way affect the Community or Union acquis nor form part of Union law as they apply to Denmark.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	De bhua Airteagal 1 agus faoi réir Airteagail 3, 4 agus 8, ní bheidh aon fhoráil i dTeideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, aon bheart arna ghlacadh de bhun an Teidil sin, aon fhoráil d'aon chomhaontú idirnáisiúnta arna thabhairt i gcrích ag an Aontas de bhun an Teidil sin ná aon bhreith de chuid Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh ag léiriú aon fhorála nó aon bhirt den sórt sin ina cheangal ar an Danmhairg ná infheidhme inti. Ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, beart ná cinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith d'inniúlachtaí, cearta agus oibleagáidí na Danmhairge. Ní dhéanfaidh aon fhoráil, beart ná cinneadh den sórt sin difear ar dhóigh ar bith don acquis Comhphobail ná Aontais ná ní bheidh siad ina gcuid de dhlí an Aontais mar a bheidh feidhm ag an acquis agus an dlí sin maidir leis an Danmhairg.
1. Denmark may notify the President of the Council in writing, within three months after a proposal or initiative has been presented to the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, that it wishes to take part in the adoption and application of any such proposed measure, whereupon Denmark shall be entitled to do so.	Airteagal 3
2. If after a reasonable period of time a measure referred to in paragraph 1 cannot be adopted with Denmark taking part, the Council may adopt that measure referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 1 without the participation of Denmark. In that case Article 2 applies.	1. Féadfaidh an Danmhairg fógra a thabhairt i scríbhinn d'Uachtarán na Comhairle, laistigh de thrí mhí tar éis an dáta ar tíolacadh togra nó tionscnamh don Chomhairle de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, gur mian léi bheith rannpháirteach le linn aon bheart den sórt sin arna bheartú a ghlacadh agus a chur i bhfeidhm, agus leis sin beidh an Danmhairg i dteideal bheith rannpháirteach amhlaidh.
Article 4	2. Mura féidir tar éis tréimhse réasúnta beart dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a ghlacadh le rannpháirtíocht na Danmhairge, féadfaidh an Chomhairle an beart sin dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a ghlacadh i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 1 gan rannpháirtíocht na Danmhairge. Sa chás sin beidh feidhm ag Airteagal 2.
Denmark may at any time after the adoption of a measure pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union notify its intention to the Council and the Commission that it wishes to accept that measure. In that case, the procedure provided for in Article 331(1) of that Treaty shall apply mutatis mutandis.	Airteagal 4
Article 5	Féadfaidh an Danmhairg, tráth ar bith tar éis an dáta ar glacadh beart de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, fógra faoina hintinn a thabhairt don Chomhairle agus don Choimisiún gur mian léi glacadh leis an mbeart sin. Sa chás sin, beidh feidhm mutatis mutandis ag an nós imeachta dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 331(1) den Chonradh sin.
1. The provisions of this Protocol apply for Denmark also to measures proposed or adopted pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union amending an existing measure by which it is bound.	Airteagal 5
2. However, in cases where the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, determines that the non-participation of Denmark in the amended version of an existing measure makes the application of that measure inoperable for other Member States or the Union, it may urge it to make a notification under Article 3 or 4. For the purposes of Article 3 a further period of two months starts to run as from the date of such determination by the Council.	1. Beidh feidhm ag forálacha an Phrótacail seo maidir leis an Danmhairg chomh maith maidir le bearta a mholfar nó a ghlacfar de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh lena leasaítear beart atá ann cheana atá ina cheangal uirthi.
If, at the expiry of that period of two months from the Council's determination, Denmark has not made a notification under Article 3 or Article 4, the existing measure shall no longer be binding upon or applicable to it, unless it has made a notification under Article 4 before the entry into force of the amending measure. This shall take effect from the date of entry into force of the amending measure or of expiry of the period of two months, whichever is the later.	2. Ach i gcásanna ina gcinnfidh an Chomhairle, áfach, ag gníomhú di ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, nach bhféadfaí, gan rannpháirtíocht na Danmhairge sa leagan leasaithe de bheart atá ann, an beart sin a chur i bhfeidhm i leith Ballstát eile nó i leith an Aontais, féadfaidh sí a áiteamh uirthi fógra a thabhairt faoi Airteagal 3 nó 4. Chun críocha Airteagal 3 tosóidh tréimhse bhreise dhá mhí ón dáta a suífidh an Chomhairle amhlaidh.
For the purpose of this paragraph, the Council shall, after a full discussion of the matter, act by a qualified majority of its members representing the Member States participating or having participated in the adoption of the amending measure. A qualified majority of the Council shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Má tharlaíonn, nuair a rachaidh an tréimhse dhá mhí sin ó shuíomh na Comhairle in éag, nach mbeidh fógra tugtha ag an Danmhairg faoi Airteagal 3 nó faoi Airteagal 4, ní bheidh an beart atá ann ina cheangal uirthi ná ní bheidh sé infheidhme maidir léi a thuilleadh, mura mbeidh fógra tugtha aici faoi Airteagal 4 sula dtiocfaidh an beart leasaitheach i bhfeidhm. Gabhfaidh éifeacht leis seo ón dáta a dtiocfaidh an beart leasaitheach i bhfeidhm nó ón dáta a rachaidh an tréimhse dhá mhí in éag, cibé acu is déanaí.
3. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may determine that Denmark shall bear the direct financial consequences, if any, necessarily and unavoidably incurred as a result of the cessation of its participation in the existing measure.	Chun críche na míre seo, gníomhóidh an Chomhairle, tar éis plé iomlán ar an ábhar, trí thromlach cáilithe dá comhaltaí a ionadaíonn do na Ballstáit a bheidh rannpháirteach nó a bhí rannpháirteach i nglacadh an bhirt leasaithigh. Saineofar tromlach cáilithe den Chomhairle i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3)(a) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
4. This Article shall be without prejudice to Article 4.	3. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, a chinneadh go n-iompróidh an Danmhairg na hiarmhairtí díreacha airgeadais, más ann dóibh, a thabhófar de thoradh a rannpháirtíocht sa bheart atá ann a scor.
Article 6	4. Ní dhéanfaidh an tAirteagal seo dochar d'Airteagal 4.
1. Notification pursuant to Article 4 shall be submitted no later than six months after the final adoption of a measure if this measure builds upon the Schengen acquis.	Airteagal 6
If Denmark does not submit a notification in accordance with Articles 3 or 4 regarding a measure building upon the Schengen acquis, the Member States bound by that measure and Denmark will consider appropriate measures to be taken.	1. Tíolacfar fógra de bhun Airteagal 4 tráth nach déanaí ná sé mhí tar éis an dáta ar glacadh beart go cinntitheach má tá an beart sin ag cur le acquis Schengen.
2. A notification pursuant to Article 3 with respect to a measure building upon the Schengen acquis shall be deemed irrevocably to be a notification pursuant to Article 3 with respect to any further proposal or initiative aiming to build upon that measure to the extent that such proposal or initiative builds upon the Schengen acquis.	Mura dtíolacfaidh an Danmhairg fógra i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 3 nó Airteagal 4 maidir le beart chun cur le acquis Schengen, déanfaidh na Ballstáit a mbeidh an beart sin ina cheangal orthu agus an Danmhairg na bearta iomchuí a bheidh le glacadh a mheas.
Article 7	2. Fógra de bhun Airteagal 3 i ndáil le beart chun chur le acquis Schengen, measfar go neamh-inchúlghairthe gur fógra é de bhun Airteagal 3 i ndáil le haon togra nó tionscnamh eile arb é is aidhm dó cur leis an mbeart sin a mhéid atá an togra nó an tionscnamh sin ag cur le acquis Schengen.
Denmark shall not be bound by the rules laid down on the basis of Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which relate to the processing of personal data by the Member States when carrying out activities which fall within the scope of Chapter 4 or Chapter 5 of Title V of Part Three of that Treaty where Denmark is not bound by the rules governing the forms of judicial cooperation in criminal matters or police cooperation which require compliance with the provisions laid down on the basis of Article 16.	Airteagal 7
Article 8	Na rialacha a leagtar síos ar bhonn Airteagal 16 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus a bhaineann le daoine aonair a chosaint i dtaca le sonraí pearsanta a bheith á bpróiseáil ag na Ballstáit agus gníomhaíochtaí á gcur i gcrích acu a thig faoi raon feidhme Chaibidil 4 nó Chaibidil 5 de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh sin, ní bheidh siad ina gceangal ar an Danmhairg nuair nach mbeidh na rialacha ina gceangal uirthi lena rialaítear cineálacha an chomhair bhreithiúnaigh in ábhair choiriúla nó cineálacha an chomhair phóilíneachta a cheanglaíonn na forálacha a leagtar síos ar bhonn Airteagal 16 a chomhlíonadh.
Where, in cases referred to in this Part, Denmark is bound by a measure adopted by the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the relevant provisions of the Treaties shall apply to Denmark in relation to that measure.	Airteagal 8
Article 9	Más rud é, i gcásanna dá dtagraítear sa Chuid seo, go mbeidh beart arna ghlacadh ag an gComhairle de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh ina cheangal ar an Danmhairg, beidh feidhm ag na forálacha ábhartha de na Conarthaí maidir leis an Danmhairg i ndáil leis an mbeart sin.
Where Denmark is not bound by a measure adopted pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, it shall bear no financial consequences of that measure other than administrative costs entailed for the institutions unless the Council, with all its Members acting unanimously after consulting the European Parliament, decides otherwise.	Airteagal 9
PROTOCOL (No 23)	Nuair nach mbeidh an Danmhairg faoi cheangal ag beart arna ghlacadh de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, ní iompróidh sí aon iarmhairtí airgeadais a ghabhfaidh leis an mbeart sin seachas costais riaracháin a thabhóidh na hinstitiúidí, ach amháin má chinneann an Chomhairle a mhalairt, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil a chomhaltaí uile tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa.

Given the level of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms by the Member States of the European Union, Member States shall be regarded as constituting safe countries of origin in respect of each other for all legal and practical purposes in relation to asylum matters. Accordingly, any application for asylum made by a national of a Member State may be taken into consideration or declared admissible for processing by another Member State only in the following cases:	Airteagal Aonair
(a) if the Member State of which the applicant is a national proceeds after the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, availing itself of the provisions of Article 15 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, to take measures derogating in its territory from its obligations under that Convention;	Ag féachaint do leibhéal na cosanta maidir le cearta agus saoirsí bunúsacha a thugann Ballstáit an Aontais Eorpaigh, measfar gur tíortha sábháilte tionscnaimh iad na Ballstáit i leith a chéile fad a bhaineann le críocha dlí agus críocha praiticiúla i ndáil le hábhair thearmainn.

CONCERNING IMPORTS INTO THE EUROPEAN UNION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS REFINED IN THE NETHERLANDS ANTILLES	PRÓTACAL (Uimh. 31)
THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES,	MAIDIR LE hALLMHAIRIÚ ISTEACH SAN AONTAS EORPACH AR THÁIRGÍ PEITRILIAM ARNA SCAGADH IN AINTILLÍ NA hÍSILTÍRE
BEING DESIROUS of giving fuller details about the system of trade applicable to imports into the European Union of petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles,	TÁ NA hARDPHÁIRTITHE CONARTHACHA,
HAVE AGREED UPON the following provisions, which shall be annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union:	ÓS MIAN LEO cruinneas a bheith ag baint leis na socruithe trádála is infheidhme maidir le hallmhairiú isteach san Aontas Eorpach ar tháirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre,
Article 1	TAR ÉIS COMHAONTÚ ar na forálacha seo a leanas, a chuirfear i gceangal leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus leis an gConradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh:
This Protocol is applicable to petroleum products coming under the Brussels Nomenclature numbers 27.10, 27.11, 27.12, ex 27.13 (paraffin wax, petroleum or shale wax and paraffin residues) and 27.14, imported for use in Member States.	Airteagal 1
Article 2	Baineann an Prótacal seo leis na táirgí peitriliam faoi cheannteidil 27.10, 27.11, 27.12, ex 27.13 (pairifín, céireacha peitriliam nó scealla agus iarmhair phairifíneacha) agus 27.14 in ainmníocht na Bruiséile a allmhairítear lena gcur in úsáid sna Ballstáit.
Member States shall undertake to grant to petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles the tariff preferences resulting from the association of the latter with the Union, under the conditions provided for in this Protocol. These provisions shall hold good whatever may be the rules of origin applied by the Member States.	Airteagal 2
Article 3	Gabhann na Ballstáit orthu féin go dtabharfar do tháirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre na buntáistí taraife a thig dá gcomhlachú leis an Aontas, faoi na coinníollacha dá bhforáiltear sa Phrótacal seo. Beidh feidhm leis na forálacha sin, cibé rialacha i dtaobh tionscnamh earraí a chuireann na Ballstáit chun feidhme.
1. When the Commission, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, establishes that imports into the Union of petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles under the system provided for in Article 2 above are giving rise to real difficulties on the market of one or more Member States, it shall decide that customs duties on the said imports shall be introduced, increased or re-introduced by the Member States in question, to such an extent and for such a period as may be necessary to meet that situation. The rates of the customs duties thus introduced, increased or re-introduced may not exceed the customs duties applicable to third countries for these same products.	Airteagal 3
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 can in any case be applied when imports into the Union of petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles reach two million metric tons a year.	1. Nuair a shonróidh an Coimisiún, ar iarratas ó Bhallstát nó uaidh féin, go bhfuil an t-allmhairiú isteach san Aontas ar tháirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre, faoin socrú dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 2 thuas, ag tarraingt deacraí iarbhír ar mhargadh Ballstáit nó Ballstát cinnfidh sé go ndéanfaidh na Ballstáit lena mbaineann na dleachtanna custaim is inchurtha ar na hallmhairí sin a thabhairt isteach, a mhéadú nó a atabhairt isteach, a mhéid is gá agus don tréimhse is gá chun freagairt don chor sin. Ní fhéadfaidh rátaí na ndleachtanna custaim a thabharfar isteach, a mhéadófar nó a atabharfar isteach amhlaidh bheith níos mó ná rátaí na ndleachtanna custaim is infheidhme i leith tríú tíortha i gcás na dtáirgí céanna.
3. The Council shall be informed of decisions taken by the Commission in pursuance of paragraphs 1 and 2, including those directed at rejecting the request of a Member State. The Council shall, at the request of any Member State, assume responsibility for the matter and may at any time amend or revoke them.	2. Féadfar na forálacha atá leagtha síos sa mhír roimhe seo a chur chun feidhme i ngach cás nuair a shroichfidh a n-allmhaireofar isteach san Aontas de tháirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre dhá mhilliún tonna méadrach sa bhliain.
Article 4	3. Cuirfear i bhfios don Chomhairle na cinntí a ghlac an Coimisiún de bhua na míreanna roimhe seo, lena n-áirítear na cinntí a bhéarfadh go ndiúltófaí don iarratas ó Bhallstát. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle gníomhú ina leith ar iarratas ó gach Bhallstát agus féadfaidh sí i gcónaí iad a leasú nó iad a chúlghairm.
1. If a Member State considers that imports of petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles, made either directly or through another Member State under the system provided for in Article 2 above, are giving rise to real difficulties on its market and that immediate action is necessary to meet them, it may on its own initiative decide to apply customs duties to such imports, the rate of which may not exceed those of the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of the same products. It shall notify its decision to the Commission which shall decide within one month whether the measures taken by the State should be maintained or must be amended or cancelled. The provisions of Article 3(3) shall be applicable to such decision of the Commission.	Airteagal 4
2. When the quantities of petroleum products refined in the Netherlands Antilles imported either directly or through another Member State, under the system provided for in Article 2 above, into a Member State or States of the European Union exceed during a calendar year the tonnage shown in the Annex to this Protocol, the measures taken in pursuance of paragraph 1 by that or those Member States for the current year shall be considered to be justified; the Commission shall, after assuring itself that the tonnage fixed has been reached, formally record the measures taken. In such a case the other Member States shall abstain from formally placing the matter before the Council.	1. Má mheasann Ballstát go bhfuil allmhairiú táirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre, go díreach nó trasna Ballstáit eile, faoin socrú dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 2 thuas, ag tarraingt deacraí iarbhír ar a mhargadh agus gur gá gníomhú láithreach chun freagairt dóibh, féadfaidh sé a chinneadh uaidh féin ar dhleachtanna custaim a chur ar na hallmhairí sin nach mbeidh a rátaí níos mó ná rátaí na ndleachtanna custaim is infheidhme i leith tríú tíortha i gcás na dtáirgí céanna. Cuirfidh sé an cinneadh sin i bhfios don Choimisiún agus cinnfidh an Coimisiún laistigh de thréimse míosa cé acu a fhéadfar cloí leis na bearta a ghlac an Stát nó a dhlífear iad a leasú nó a chealú. Bainfidh forálacha Airteagal 3(3) le cinneadh sin an Choimisiúin.
Article 5	2. I gcás a n-allmhaireofar de tháirgí peitriliam arna scagadh in Aintillí na hÍsiltíre, go díreach nó trasna Ballstáit eile faoin socrú dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 2 thuas, isteach i mBallstát amháin nó níos mó den Aontas Eorpach a dhul, i rith bliana féilire, thar na tonnáistí a thaispeántar in Iarscríbhinn a ghabhann leis an bPrótacal seo, measfar na bearta a bheadh le glacadh de bhun mhír 1 ag an mBallstát nó ag na Ballstáit sin don bhliain reatha a bheith ina mbearta bailí. Déanfaidh an Coimisiún, ar a bheith deimhin de gur sroicheadh na tonnáistí socraithe, na bearta a glacadh a thabhairt dá aire. Sa chás sin, ní chuirfidh na Ballstáit eile aon iarratas faoi bhráid na Comhairle.
If the Union decides to apply quantitative restrictions to petroleum products, no matter whence they are imported, these restrictions may also be applied to imports of such products from the Netherlands Antilles. In such a case preferential treatment shall be granted to the Netherlands Antilles as compared with third countries.	Airteagal 5
Article 6	Má chinneann an tAontas ar shrianta cainníochtúla a chur chun feidhme ar allmhairiú táirgí peitriliam ó gach áit, féadfar na srianta sin a chur i bhfeidhm chomh maith ar allmhairiú na dtáirgí sin ó Aintillí na hÍsiltíre. I gcás den sórt sin déanfar cóir fhabhrach i gcomparáid le tríú tíortha a áirithiú d'Aintillí na hÍsiltíre.
1. The provisions of Articles 2 to 5 shall be reviewed by the Council, by unanimous decision, after consulting the European Parliament and the Commission, when a common definition of origin for petroleum products from third countries and associated countries is adopted, or when decisions are taken within the framework of a common commercial policy for the products in question or when a common energy policy is established.

TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACTS ADOPTED ON THE BASIS OF TITLES V AND VI OF THE TREATY ON EUROPEAN UNION PRIOR TO THE ENTRY INTO FORCE OF THE TREATY OF LISBON	TEIDEAL VII
Article 9	FORÁLACHA IDIRTHRÉIMHSEACHA MAIDIR LEIS NA GNÍOMHARTHA ARNA nGLACADH AR BHONN THEIDIL V AGUS VI DEN CHONRADH AR AN AONTAS EORPACH ROIMH CHONRADH LIOSPÓIN A THEACHT I bhFEIDHM
The legal effects of the acts of the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union adopted on the basis of the Treaty on European Union prior to the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon shall be preserved until those acts are repealed, annulled or amended in implementation of the Treaties. The same shall apply to agreements concluded between Member States on the basis of the Treaty on European Union.	Airteagal 9
Article 10	Gníomhartha institiúidí, chomhlachtaí, oifigí agus ghníomhaireachtaí an Aontais arna nglacadh ar bhonn an Chonartha ar an Aontas Eorpach sula dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm, déanfar a n-éifeachtaí dlíthiúla a chaomhnú go dtí go ndéanfar iad a aisghairm, a neamhniú nó a leasú de bhun na gConarthaí. Is mar an gcéanna a bheidh maidir le comhaontuithe arna dtabhairt i gcrích idir Bhallstáit ar bhonn an Chonartha ar an Aontas Eorpach.
1. As a transitional measure, and with respect to acts of the Union in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters which have been adopted before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the powers of the institutions shall be the following at the date of entry into force of that Treaty: the powers of the Commission under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall not be applicable and the powers of the Court of Justice of the European Union under Title VI of the Treaty on European Union, in the version in force before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, shall remain the same, including where they have been accepted under Article 35(2) of the said Treaty on European Union.	Airteagal 10
2. The amendment of an act referred to in paragraph 1 shall entail the applicability of the powers of the institutions referred to in that paragraph as set out in the Treaties with respect to the amended act for those Member States to which that amended act shall apply.	1. Mar bheart idirthréimhseach, agus maidir le gníomhartha an Aontais i dtaca le comhar póilíneachta agus le comhar breithiúnach in ábhair shibhialta arna nglacadh sula dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm, is iad seo a leanas na cumhachtaí a bheidh ag na hinstitiúidí ar an dáta a dtiocfaidh an Conradh sin i bhfeidhm: ní bheidh cumhachtaí an Choimisiúin faoi Airteagal 258 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh infheidhme agus fanfaidh cumhachtaí Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh faoi Theideal VI den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, sa leagan a bheidh i bhfeidhm sula dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm, mar atá siad, lena n-áirítear i gcásanna inar glacadh iad faoi Airteagal 35(2) den Chonradh sin ar an Aontas Eorpach.
3. In any case, the transitional measure mentioned in paragraph 1 shall cease to have effect five years after the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon.	2. Béarfaidh an leasú ar ghníomh dá dtagraítear i mír 1 infheidhmeacht chumhachtaí na n-institiúidí dá dtagraítear sa mhír sin mar a leagtar amach sna Conarthaí iad i dtaca leis an ngníomh leasaithe maidir leis na Ballstáit sin a mbeidh feidhm ag an ngníomh leasaithe maidir leo.
4. At the latest six months before the expiry of the transitional period referred to in paragraph 3, the United Kingdom may notify to the Council that it does not accept, with respect to the acts referred to in paragraph 1, the powers of the institutions referred to in paragraph 1 as set out in the Treaties. In case the United Kingdom has made that notification, all acts referred to in paragraph 1 shall cease to apply to it as from the date of expiry of the transitional period referred to in paragraph 3. This subparagraph shall not apply with respect to the amended acts which are applicable to the United Kingdom as referred to in paragraph 2.	3. Scoirfidh an beart idirthréimhseach dá dtagraítear i mír 1 d'éifeacht a bheith aige, ar scor ar bith, cúig bliana tar éis an dáta a dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall determine the necessary consequential and transitional arrangements. The United Kingdom shall not participate in the adoption of this decision. A qualified majority of the Council shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	4. Sé mhí, ar a dhéanaí, roimh dhul in éag na hidirthréimhse dá dtagraítear i mír 3, féadfaidh an Ríocht Aontaithe fógra a thabhairt don Chomhairle nach nglacann sí, i ndáil leis na gníomhartha dá dtagraítear i mír 1, le cumhachtaí na n-institiúidí dá dtagraítear i mír 1 mar a leagtar amach sna Conarthaí iad. Má bhíonn an fógra sin tugtha ag an Ríocht Aontaithe, scoirfidh na gníomhartha ar fad dá dtagraítear i mír 1 d'fheidhm a bheith acu maidir léi ón dáta a rachaidh an idirthréimhse dá dtagraítear i mír 3 in éag. Ní bheidh feidhm ag an bhfomhír seo maidir leis na gníomhartha leasaithe atá infheidhme maidir leis an Ríocht Aontaithe mar a luaitear i mír 2.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may also adopt a decision determining that the United Kingdom shall bear the direct financial consequences, if any, necessarily and unavoidably incurred as a result of the cessation of its participation in those acts.	Cinnfidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, na socruithe iarmhartacha agus na socruithe idirthréimhseacha is gá. Ní bheidh an Ríocht Aontaithe rannpháirteach i nglacadh an chinnidh seo. Saineofar tromlach cáilithe den Chomhairle i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 238(3)(a) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
5. The United Kingdom may, at any time afterwards, notify the Council of its wish to participate in acts which have ceased to apply to it pursuant to paragraph 4, first subparagraph. In that case, the relevant provisions of the Protocol on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union or of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, as the case may be, shall apply. The powers of the institutions with regard to those acts shall be those set out in the Treaties. When acting under the relevant Protocols, the Union institutions and the United Kingdom shall seek to re-establish the widest possible measure of participation of the United Kingdom in the acquis of the Union in the area of freedom, security and justice without seriously affecting the practical operability of the various parts thereof, while respecting their coherence.	Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di trí thromlach cáilithe ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, cinneadh a ghlacadh freisin lena gcinnfear go n-iompróidh an Ríocht Aontaithe na hiarmhairtí díreacha airgeadais, más ann dóibh, a thabhófar le riachtanas agus ar dhóigh dhosheachanta de bharr gur scoir sí de bheith rannpháirteach sna gníomhartha sin.
PROTOCOL (No 37)	5. Féadfaidh an Ríocht Aontaithe, tráth ar bith ina dhiaidh sin, fógra a thabhairt don Chomhairle á rá gur mian léi bheith rannpháirteach i ngníomhartha nach bhfuil infheidhme a thuilleadh maidir léi de bhun na chéad fhomhíre de mhír 4. Sa chás sin, beidh feidhm ag forálacha ábhartha an Phrótacail maidir le acquis Schengen arna lánpháirtiú i gcreat an Aontais Eorpaigh nó ag forálacha ábhartha an Phrótacail maidir le seasamh na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann i dtaca leis an limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais, de réir mar a bheidh. Is iad na cumhachtaí a leagfar amach sna Conarthaí cumhachtaí na n-institiúidí i leith na ngníomhartha sin. Agus iad ag gníomhú faoi na Prótacail ábhartha, féachfaidh institiúidí an Aontais agus an Ríocht Aontaithe lena oiread rannpháirtíochta agus is féidir ón Ríocht Aontaithe in acquis an Aontais a athbhunú i réimse na saoirse, na slándála agus an cheartais gan éifeacht thromchúiseach a bheith aige sin ar inoibritheacht phraiticiúil na gcodanna éagsúla de, ag urramú a gcomhchuibhis dóibh.

THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES,	MAIDIR LEIS NA hIARMHAIRTÍ AIRGEADAIS TOISC CONRADH CEGC A DHUL IN ÉAG AGUS LEIS AN gCISTE TAIGHDE UM GHUAL AGUS CRUACH
RECALLING that all assets and liabilities of the European Coal and Steel Community, as they existed on 23 July 2002, were transferred to the European Community on 24 July 2002,	TÁ NA hARDPHÁIRTITHE CONARTHACHA,
TAKING ACCOUNT of the desire to use these funds for research in sectors related to the coal and steel industry and therefore the necessity to provide for certain special rules in this regard,	AG MEABHRÚ DÓIBH go ndearnadh sócmhainní agus dócmhainní uile an Chomhphobail Eorpaigh do Ghual agus Cruach, faoi mar a bhí siad an 23 Iúil 2002, a aistriú chuig an gComhphobal Eorpach an 24 Iúil 2002,
HAVE AGREED UPON the following provisions, which shall be annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union:	AG CUR SAN ÁIREAMH DÓIBH gurb inmhianaithe na cistí sin a úsáid le haghaidh taighde i réimsí atá gaolmhar leis an tionscal guail agus cruach agus gur gá dá bharr sin rialacha sonracha áirithe a bhunú i dtaca leis sin,
Article 1	TAR ÉIS COMHAONTÚ ar na forálacha seo a leanas a chuirfear i gceangal leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus leis an gConradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh:
1. The net worth of these assets and liabilities, as they appear in the balance sheet of the ECSC of 23 July 2002, subject to any increase or decrease which may occur as a result of the liquidation operations, shall be considered as assets intended for research in the sectors related to the coal and steel industry, referred to as the "ECSC in liquidation". On completion of the liquidation they shall be referred to as the "assets of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel".	Airteagal 1
2. The revenue from these assets, referred to as the "Research Fund for Coal and Steel", shall be used exclusively for research, outside the research framework programme, in the sectors related to the coal and steel industry in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol and of acts adopted on the basis hereof.	1. Faoi réir aon mhéadú nó laghdú a fhéadfaidh tarlú de thoradh ar na hoibríochtaí leachtaithe, measfar glanluach na sócmhainní agus na ndócmhainní sin, faoi mar a thaispeántar iad i gclár comhardaithe CEGC an 23 Iúil 2002, mar shócmhainní atá ceaptha le haghaidh taighde sna hearnálacha atá gaolmhar leis an tionscal guail agus cruach, dá dtagraítear mar "CEGC faoi leachtú". Ar an leachtú a bheith críochnaithe, tagrófar dóibh mar "Sócmhainní an Chiste Taighde um Ghual agus Cruach".
Article 2	2. An t-ioncam ó na sócmhainní sin, dá dtagraítear mar "An Ciste Taighde um Ghual agus Cruach", bainfear leas eisiach as le haghaidh taighde, lasmuigh den chlár réime taighde, sna hearnálacha atá gaolmhar leis an tionscal guail agus cruach i gcomhréir le forálacha an Phrótacail seo agus na ngníomhartha arna nglacadh dá bhun.
The Council, acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure and after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament, shall adopt all the necessary provisions for the implementation of this Protocol, including essential principles.	Airteagal 2
The Council shall adopt, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, measures establishing multiannual financial guidelines for managing the assets of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel and technical guidelines for the research programme of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.	Glacfaidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di i gcomhréir le nós imeachta reachtach speisialta agus tar éis toiliú a fháil ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa, na forálacha is gá chun an Prótacal seo a chur chun feidhme, lena n-áirítear na prionsabail shár-riachtanacha.
Article 3	Glacfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thogra ón gCoimisiún, agus tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Parlaimint na hEorpa, bearta lena mbunófar treoirlínte ilbhliantúla airgeadais le haghaidh sócmhainní an Chiste Taighde um Ghual agus Cruach a bhainistíocht agus treoirlínte teicniúla a ghlacadh do chlár taighde an Chiste sin.
Except as otherwise provided in this Protocol and in the acts adopted on the basis hereof, the provisions of the Treaties shall apply.	Airteagal 3

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which has legally binding force, confirms the fundamental rights guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and as they result from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States.	1. Dearbhú maidir le Cairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh
The Charter does not extend the field of application of Union law beyond the powers of the Union or establish any new power or task for the Union, or modify powers and tasks as defined by the Treaties.	Daingníonn Cairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh, atá ceangailteach ó thaobh dlí, na cearta bunúsacha atá ráthaithe leis an gCoinbhinsiún Eorpach chun Cearta an Duine agus Saoirsí Bunúsacha a Chosaint agus mar a thig siad ó na traidisiúin bhunreachtúla is coiteann do na Ballstáit
2. Declaration on Article 6(2) of the Treaty on European Union	Ní dhéanann an Chairt raon feidhme dhlí an Aontais a fhorleathnú thar chumhachtaí an Aontais ná aon chumhacht nua ná aon chúram nua a bhunú don Aontas, ná cumhachtaí agus cúraimí atá sainithe leis na Conarthaí a mhodhnú.
The Conference agrees that the Union's accession to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms should be arranged in such a way as to preserve the specific features of Union law. In this connection, the Conference notes the existence of a regular dialogue between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights; such dialogue could be reinforced when the Union accedes to that Convention.	2. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 6(2) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
3. Declaration on Article 8 of the Treaty on European Union	Comhaontaíonn an Chomhdháil gur chóir aontachas an Aontais leis an gCoinbhinsiún Eorpach chun Cearta an Duine agus Saoirsí Bunúsacha a chosaint a dhéanamh ar dhóigh a chaomhnódh sainairíonna dhlí an Aontais. Sa chomhthéacs sin, tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire go bhfuil agallamh ann go tráthrialta idir Cúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh agus an Chúirt Eorpach um Chearta an Duine; d'fhéadfaí an t-agallamh sin a neartú nuair a aontóidh an tAontas Eorpach don Choinbhinsiún sin.
The Union will take into account the particular situation of small-sized countries which maintain specific relations of proximity with it.	3. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 8 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
4. Declaration on the composition of the European Parliament	Cuirfidh an tAontas san áireamh staid shonrach na dtíortha beagmhéide a dhéanann caidreamh sonrach gaireachta a choimeád ar bun leis.
The additional seat in the European Parliament will be attributed to Italy.	4. Dearbhú maidir le comhdhéanamh Pharlaimint na hEorpa
5. Declaration on the political agreement by the European Council concerning the draft Decision on the composition of the European Parliament	Sannfar an suíochán breise i bParlaimint na hEorpa don Iodáil.
The European Council will give its political agreement on the revised draft Decision on the composition of the European Parliament for the legislative period 2009-2014, based on the proposal from the European Parliament.	5. Dearbhú a bhaineann le cinneadh polaitiúil na Comhairle Eorpaí maidir leis an dréacht-Chinneadh i ndáil le comhdhéanamh Pharlaimint na hEorpa
6. Declaration on Article 15(5) and (6), Article 17(6) and (7) and Article 18 of the Treaty on European Union	Tiocfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach ar chomhaontú polaitiúil maidir leis an dréacht-Chinneadh athbhreithnithe i ndáil le comhdhéanamh Pharlaimint na hEorpa don téarma parlaiminte 2009-2014, ar bhonn togra ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa.
In choosing the persons called upon to hold the offices of President of the European Council, President of the Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, due account is to be taken of the need to respect the geographical and demographic diversity of the Union and its Member States.	6. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 15(5) agus (6), le hAirteagal 17(6) agus (7) agus le hAirteagal 18 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach

In the event that the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force later than 1 January 2009, the Conference requests the competent authorities of the Member State holding the six-monthly Presidency of the Council at that time, on the one hand, and the person elected President of the European Council and the person appointed High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on the other hand, to take the necessary specific measures, in consultation with the following six-monthly Presidency, to allow an efficient handover of the material and organisational aspects of the Presidency of the European Council and of the Foreign Affairs Council.	8.

9. Declaration on Article 16(9) of the Treaty on European Union concerning the European Council decision on the exercise of the Presidency of the Council	I gcás ina dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm tar éis an 1 Eanáir 2009, iarrfaidh an Chomhdháil ar údaráis inniúla an Bhallstáit a bhfuil Uachtaránacht leathbhliantúil na Comhairle aige ag an am sin, de thaobh amháin, agus ar an duine a thoghfar ina Uachtarán ar an gComhairle Eorpach agus ar an duine a ainmneofar ina Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála, de thaobh eile, na bearta sonracha atá riachtanach a thógáil, i gcomhairle leis an Uachtaránacht atá le bheith ann don chéad leathbhliain eile, chun go mbeidh trasdul éifeachtach ann i leith gnéithe ábharacha agus eagrúcháin d'fheidhmiú Uachtaránacht na Comhairle Eorpaí agus na Comhairle Gnóthaí Eachtracha.
The Conference declares that the Council should begin preparing the decision establishing the procedures for implementing the decision on the exercise of the Presidency of the Council as soon as the Treaty of Lisbon is signed, and should give its political approval within six months. A draft decision of the European Council, which will be adopted on the date of entry into force of the said Treaty, is set out below:	9. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 16(9) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach a bhaineann leis an gcinneadh ón gComhairle Eorpach maidir le feidhmiú Uachtaránacht na Comhairle
Draft decision of the European Council	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil gur chóir don Chomhairle tús a chur leis an gcinneadh a ullmhú lena mbunófar nósanna cur chun feidhme an chinnidh maidir le feidhmiú Uachtaránacht na Comhairle a luaithe a bheidh Conradh Liospóin sínithe agus gur chóir di a formheas polaitiúil a thabhairt taobh istigh de shé mhí. Leagtar amach thíos dréacht-Chinneadh ón gComhairle Eorpach a ghlacfar an lá a dtiocfaidh an Conradh sin i bhfeidhm:
on the exercise of the Presidency of the Council	Dréacht-Chinneadh ón gComhairle Eorpach
Article 1	maidir le feidhmiú Uachtaránacht na Comhairle
1. The Presidency of the Council, with the exception of the Foreign Affairs configuration, shall be held by pre-established groups of three Member States for a period of 18 months.

2. Each member of the group shall in turn chair for a six-month period all configurations of the Council, with the exception of the Foreign Affairs configuration. The other members of the group shall assist the Chair in all its responsibilities on the basis of a common programme. Members of the team may decide alternative arrangements among themselves.	1. Sealbhóidh grúpaí réamhbhunaithe de thrí Bhallstát uachtaránacht fhoirmíochtaí na Comhairle, seachas foirmíocht na Comhairle Gnóthaí Eachtracha, go ceann tréimhse ocht mí dhéag. Beidh na grúpaí comhdhéanta ar bhonn uainíochta comhionainne idir na Ballstáit ag féachaint dá n-éagsúlacht agus don chothromaíocht gheografach san Aontas.
Article 2	2. Beidh gach comhalta den ghrúpa ina chathaoirleach de réir uainíochta, go ceann tréimhse sé mhí, ar fhoirmíochtaí uile na Comhairle, seachas an fhoirmíocht Gnóthaí Eachtracha. Beidh comhaltaí eile an ghrúpa de chúnamh ag an gCathaoirleach i dtaca lena fhreagrachtaí uile ar bhonn comhchláir. Féadfaidh comhaltaí an ghrúpa socruithe eile a chinneadh eatarthu féin.
The Committee of Permanent Representatives of the Governments of the Member States shall be chaired by a representative of the Member State chairing the General Affairs Council.	Airteagal 2
The Chair of the Political and Security Committee shall be held by a representative of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.	Beidh ionadaí de chuid an Bhallstáit a bheidh i gceannas ar an gComhairle Gnóthaí Ginearálta ina chathaoirleach ar Choiste Bhuanionadaithe Rialtais na mBallstát.
The chair of the preparatory bodies of the various Council configurations, with the exception of the Foreign Affairs configuration, shall fall to the member of the group chairing the relevant configuration, unless decided otherwise in accordance with Article 4.	Beidh ionadaí d'Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála ina chathaoirleach ar an gCoiste Polaitiúil agus Slándála.
Article 3	Mura bhforáiltear a mhalairt i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 4, beidh an comhalta den ghrúpa a bheidh i gceannas ar an bhfoirmíocht ábhartha den Chomhairle i gceannas ar na comhlachtaí ullmhúcháin d'fhoirmíochtaí éagsúla na Comhairle, seachas an fhoirmíocht Gnóthaí Eachtracha.
The General Affairs Council shall ensure consistency and continuity in the work of the different Council configurations in the framework of multiannual programmes in cooperation with the Commission. The Member States holding the Presidency shall take all necessary measures for the organisation and smooth operation of the Council's work, with the assistance of the General Secretariat of the Council.	Airteagal 3
Article 4	Déanfaidh an Chomhairle Gnóthaí Ginearálta, i gcomhar leis an gCoimisiún, comhchuibheas agus leanúnachas imeachtaí na bhfoirmíochtaí éagsúla den Chomhairle a áirithiú faoi chuimsiú clár ilbhliantúil. Glacfaidh na Ballstáit a shealbhaíonn an Uachtaránacht gach beart is gá maidir le heagrú agus dea-oibriú imeachtaí na Comhairle, agus Ardrúnaíocht na Comhairle de chúnamh acu.
The Council shall adopt a decision establishing the measures for the implementation of this decision.	Airteagal 4
10. Declaration on Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union	Glacfaidh an Chomhairle cinneadh lena mbunófar na bearta chun an cinneadh seo a chur chun feidhme.
The Conference considers that when the Commission no longer includes nationals of all Member States, the Commission should pay particular attention to the need to ensure full transparency in relations with all Member States. Accordingly, the Commission should liaise closely with all Member States, whether or not they have a national serving as member of the Commission, and in this context pay special attention to the need to share information and consult with all Member States.	10. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 17 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
The Conference also considers that the Commission should take all the necessary measures to ensure that political, social and economic realities in all Member States, including those which have no national serving as member of the Commission, are fully taken into account. These measures should include ensuring that the position of those Member States is addressed by appropriate organisational arrangements.	Measann an Chomhdháil, nuair nach mbeidh náisiúnaigh de chuid na mBallstát uile ina gcomhaltaí den Choimisiún a thuilleadh, gur chóir don Choimisiún aird ar leith a thabhairt ar an ngá atá ann trédhearcacht iomlán a áirithiú ina chaidreamh leis na Ballstáit uile. Dá dheasca sin, ba chóir don Choimisiún fanacht i ndlúth-thadhall leis na Ballstáit uile, bíodh náisiúnach dá gcuid ina chomhalta den Choimisiún nó ná bíodh, agus sa chomhthéacs sin, aird ar leith a thabhairt ar an ngá atá ann faisnéis a pháirtiú leis na Ballstáit uile agus dul i gcomhairle leo.
11. Declaration on Article 17(6) and (7) of the Treaty on European Union	Measann an Chomhdháil freisin gur chóir don Choimisiún gach beart is gá a ghlacadh chun a áirithiú go ndéanfar na réaltachtaí polaitiúla, sóisialta agus eacnamaíocha sna Ballstáit uile, lena n-áirítear iadsan nach bhfuil náisiúnach dá gcuid ina chomhalta den Choimisiún, a chur san áireamh go hiomlán. Ba chóir go mbeadh ar áireamh sna bearta sin ráthaíocht go gcuirfear staid na mBallstát sin san áireamh trí shocruithe eagrúcháin iomchuí a ghlacadh.
The Conference considers that, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaties, the European Parliament and the European Council are jointly responsible for the smooth running of the process leading to the election of the President of the European Commission. Prior to the decision of the European Council, representatives of the European Parliament and of the European Council will thus conduct the necessary consultations in the framework deemed the most appropriate. These consultations will focus on the backgrounds of the candidates for President of the Commission, taking account of the elections to the European Parliament, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 17(7). The arrangements for such consultations may be determined, in due course, by common accord between the European Parliament and the European Council.	11. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 17(6) agus (7) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
12. Declaration on Article 18 of the Treaty on European Union	Measann an Chomhdháil, i gcomhréir le forálacha na gConarthaí, go bhfuil Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle Eorpach freagrach go comhpháirteach as dea-oibriú an phróisis chun Uachtarán an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh a thoghadh. Dá dheasca sin, sula nglacfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach cinneadh, rachaidh ionadaithe Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus na Comhairle Eorpaí i mbun an chomhairliúcháin is gá faoin gcreat a mheastar is iomchuí. Beidh an comhairliúchán sin dírithe ar chúlra na n-iarrthóirí d'oifig Uachtarán an Choimisiúin agus aird á tabhairt ar na toghcháin do Pharlaimint na hEorpa, i gcomhréir leis an gcéad fhomhír d'Airteagal 17(7). Féadfar na socruithe don chomhairliúchán sin a chinneadh in am trátha de chomhthoil idir Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle Eorpach.
1. The Conference declares that, in the course of the preparatory work preceding the appointment of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy which is due to take place on the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in accordance with Article 18 of the Treaty on European Union and Article 5 of the Protocol on transitional provisions and whose term of office will be from that date until the end of the term of office of the Commission in office on that date, appropriate contacts will be made with the European Parliament.	12. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 18 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
2. Furthermore, the Conference recalls that, as regards the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy whose term of office will start in November 2009 at the same time and for the same duration as the next Commission, he or she will be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Articles 17 and 18 of the Treaty on European Union.	1. Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil go ndéanfar teagmháil mar is iomchuí le Parlaimint na hEorpa le linn na hoibre ullmhúcháin a bheidh ann roimh cheapachán Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála a dhéanfar an dáta a dtiocfaidh Conradh Liospóin i bhfeidhm, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 18 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus le hAirteagal 5 den Phrótacal maidir leis na forálacha idirthréimhseacha; tosóidh téarma oifige an Ardionadaí an dáta céanna sin agus mairfidh sé go dtí deireadh théarma oifige an Choimisiúin a bheidh i bhfeidhm an dáta sin.
13. Declaration concerning the common foreign and security policy	2. Meabhraítear don Chomhdháil chomh maith go gceapfar Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála, a dtosóidh a théarma oifige siúd i Samhain 2009 ag an am céanna agus ar feadh na tréimhse céanna leis an gcéad Choimisiún eile, i gcomhréir le forálacha Airteagal 17 agus 18 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach.
The Conference underlines that the provisions in the Treaty on European Union covering the Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the creation of the office of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the establishment of an External Action Service, do not affect the responsibilities of the Member States, as they currently exist, for the formulation and conduct of their foreign policy nor of their national representation in third countries and international organisations.	13. Dearbhú maidir leis an gComhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála
The Conference also recalls that the provisions governing the Common Security and Defence Policy do not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of the Member States.	Cuireann an Chomhdháil i bhfios go láidir nach ndéanann forálacha an Chonartha ar an Aontas Eorpach a bhaineann leis an gComhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála, lena n-áirítear oifig Ardionadaí an Aontais do Ghnóthaí Eachtracha agus don Bheartas Slándála a chruthú agus Seirbhís Gníomhaíochta Seachtraí a bhunú, difear do na freagrachtaí atá ar na Ballstáit, faoi mar atá na freagrachtaí faoi láthair, a mbeartas eachtrach a shaothrú agus a sheoladh ná do fhreagrachtaí a n-ionadaíochta náisiúnta i dtríú tíortha agus in eagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta.
It stresses that the European Union and its Member States will remain bound by the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and, in particular, by the primary responsibility of the Security Council and of its Members for the maintenance of international peace and security.	Meabhraíonn an Chomhdháil freisin nach ndéanann na forálacha lena rialaítear an Comhbheartas Slándála agus Cosanta dochar do cháilíocht shonrach bheartais slándála agus cosanta na mBallstát.
14. Declaration concerning the common foreign and security policy	Cuireann an Chomhdháil i bhfios go láidir go leanfaidh an tAontas Eorpach agus a Bhallstáit de bheith faoi cheangal ag forálacha Chairt na Náisiún Aontaithe agus, go háirithe, ag an bpríomh-fhreagracht atá ar an gComhairle Slándála agus ar a mBallstáit an tsíocháin agus an tslándáil idirnáisiúnta a chaomhnú.
In addition to the specific rules and procedures referred to in paragraph 1 of Article 24 of the Treaty on European Union, the Conference underlines that the provisions covering the Common Foreign and Security Policy including in relation to the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the External Action Service will not affect the existing legal basis, responsibilities, and powers of each Member State in relation to the formulation and conduct of its foreign policy, its national diplomatic service, relations with third countries and participation in international organisations, including a Member State's membership of the Security Council of the United Nations.	14. Dearbhú maidir leis an gComhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála
The Conference also notes that the provisions covering the Common Foreign and Security Policy do not give new powers to the Commission to initiate decisions nor do they increase the role of the European Parliament.	I dteannta na rialacha sonracha agus na nósanna imeachta sonracha dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 24(1) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, cuireann an Chomhdháil i bhfios go láidir nach ndéanfaidh na forálacha a bhaineann leis an gComhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála, lena n-áirítear an méid a bhaineann siad le hArdionadaí an Aontais don Chomhbheartas Eachtrach is Slándála agus leis an tSeirbhís Gníomhaíochta Seachtraí, difear don bhonn dlíthiúil atá ann, do fhreagrachtaí ná do chumhachtaí gach Ballstáit i dtaca lena mbeartas eachtrach a shaothrú agus a sheoladh, lena seirbhís taidhleoireachta, lena gcaidreamh le tríú tíortha agus lena rannpháirtíocht in eagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta, lena n-áirítear Ballstát a bheith ina chomhalta de Chomhairle Slándála na Náisiún Aontaithe.
The Conference also recalls that the provisions governing the Common Security and Defence Policy do not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of the Member States.	Tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire freisin nach dtugann na forálacha maidir leis an gComhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála cumhachtaí nua don Choimisiún chun cinntí a thionscnamh agus nach ndéanann siad ról Pharlaimint na hEorpa a mhéadú.
15. Declaration on Article 27 of the Treaty on European Union	Meabhraíonn an Chomhdháil freisin nach ndéanann na forálacha lena rialaítear an Comhbheartas Slándála agus Cosanta dochar do cháilíocht shonrach bheartais slándála agus cosanta na mBallstát.
The Conference declares that, as soon as the Treaty of Lisbon is signed, the Secretary-General of the Council, High Representative for the common foreign and security policy, the Commission and the Member States should begin preparatory work on the European External Action Service.	15. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 27 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
16. Declaration on Article 55(2) of the Treaty on European Union	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil gur chóir d'Ardrúnaí na Comhairle, Ardionadaí don Chomhbheartas Eachtrach agus Slándála, don Choimisiún agus do na Ballstáit, a luaithe atá Conradh Liospóin sínithe, obair ullmhúcháin a thosú ar an tSeirbhís Eorpach Gníomhaíochta Seachtraí.
The Conference considers that the possibility of producing translations of the Treaties in the languages mentioned in Article 55(2) contributes to fulfilling the objective of respecting the Union's rich cultural and linguistic diversity as set forth in the fourth subparagraph of Article 3(3). In this context, the Conference confirms the attachment of the Union to the cultural diversity of Europe and the special attention it will continue to pay to these and other languages.	16. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 55(2) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach
The Conference recommends that those Member States wishing to avail themselves of the possibility recognised in Article 55(2) communicate to the Council, within six months from the date of the signature of the Treaty of Lisbon, the language or languages into which translations of the Treaties will be made.	Measann an Chomhdháil go rannchuidíonn an chaoi chun aistriúcháin a dhéanamh de na Conarthaí sna teangacha atá luaite in Airteagal 55(2) leis an gcuspóir a ghnóthú maidir le saibhreas éagsúlachta cultúrtha agus teanga an Aontais a urramú mar atá leagtha amach sa cheathrú fomhír d'Airteagal 3(3). Sa chomhthéacs sin, daingníonn an Chomhdháil cion an Aontais le héagsúlacht chultúrtha na hEorpa agus an aire ar leith a leanfaidh sé de bheith á tabhairt do na teangacha sin agus do theangacha eile.
17. Declaration concerning primacy	Molann an Chomhdháil do na Ballstáit sin ar mian leo an chaoi atá aitheanta in Airteagal 55(2) a thapú a chur i bhfios don Chomhairle, laistigh de shé mhí ó dháta Conradh Liospóin a shíniú, an teanga nó na teangacha chun a ndéanfar na Conarthaí a aistriú.
The Conference recalls that, in accordance with well settled case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Treaties and the law adopted by the Union on the basis of the Treaties have primacy over the law of Member States, under the conditions laid down by the said case law.	17. Dearbhú maidir le tosaíocht
The Conference has also decided to attach as an Annex to this Final Act the Opinion of the Council Legal Service on the primacy of EC law as set out in 11197/07 (JUR 260):	Meabhraíonn an Chomhdháil gurb amhlaidh, i gcomhréir le cásdlí socair Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh, go bhfuil tosaíocht ag na Conarthaí agus ag an dlí arna ghlacadh ar bhonn na gConarthaí ar dhlí na mBallstát, faoi na coinníollacha a shainmhínítear leis an gcásdlí sin.
"Opinion of the Council Legal Service	Tá an Chomhdháil tar éis a chinneadh freisin Tuairim Sheirbhís Dlí na Comhairle maidir leis an tosaíocht atá ag dlí CE mar a leagtar amach in 11197/07 (JUR 260) í a chur i gceangal leis an Ionstraim Chríochnaitheach seo:
of 22 June 2007	"Tuairim Sheirbhís Dlí na Comhairle
It results from the case-law of the Court of Justice that primacy of EC law is a cornerstone principle of Community law. According to the Court, this principle is inherent to the specific nature of the European Community. At the time of the first judgment of this established case law (Costa/ENEL, 15 July 1964, Case 6/641 [1]) there was no mention of primacy in the treaty. It is still the case today. The fact that the principle of primacy will not be included in the future treaty shall not in any way change the existence of the principle and the existing case-law of the Court of Justice.	an 22 Meitheamh 2007
18. Declaration in relation to the delimitation of competences	Tá sé mar thoradh ar chásdlí na Cúirte Breithiúnais go bhfuil tosaíocht dhlí an Chomhphobail ar cheann de phrionsabail bhunúsacha dhlí an Chomhphobail. Dar leis an gCúirt, is prionsabal é atá de dhlúth agus d'inneach i gcineál sonrach an Chomhphobail Eorpaigh. Tráth tugtha chéad bhreithiúnas an chásdlí shocair sin (Costa/ENEL, an 15 Iúil 1964, Cás 6/64 [1]) níor luadh tosaíocht sa Chonradh. Is amhlaidh atá an cás fós sa lá atá inniu ann. Ní dhéanfaidh easpa tagartha do phrionsabal na tosaíochta sa Chonradh nua aon athrú ar an bprionsabal sin a bheith ann ná ar chásdlí na Cúirte Breithiúnais atá i bhfeidhm.
The Conference underlines that, in accordance with the system of division of competences between the Union and the Member States as provided for in the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, competences not conferred upon the Union in the Treaties remain with the Member States.	18. Dearbhú maidir le hinniúlachtaí a theorannú
When the Treaties confer on the Union a competence shared with the Member States in a specific area, the Member States shall exercise their competence to the extent that the Union has not exercised, or has decided to cease exercising, its competence. The latter situation arises when the relevant EU institutions decide to repeal a legislative act, in particular better to ensure constant respect for the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. The Council may, at the initiative of one or several of its members (representatives of Member States) and in accordance with Article 241 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, request the Commission to submit proposals for repealing a legislative act. The Conference welcomes the Commission's declaration that it will devote particular attention to these requests.	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhairle gurb amhlaidh, i gcomhréir le córas roinnte na n-inniúlachtaí idir an tAontas agus na Ballstáit dá bhforáiltear leis an gConradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus leis an gConradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, go bhfanann na hinniúlachtaí uile nach dtugtar don Aontas sna Conarthaí leis na Ballstáit.
Equally, the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting in an Intergovernmental Conference, in accordance with the ordinary revision procedure provided for in Article 48(2) to (5) of the Treaty on European Union, may decide to amend the Treaties upon which the Union is founded, including either to increase or to reduce the competences conferred on the Union in the said Treaties.	Nuair a dhéanann na Conarthaí inniúlacht arna roinnt leis na Ballstáit i réimse áirithe a thabhairt don Aontas, feidhmeoidh na Ballstáit a n-inniúlacht a mhéid nach bhfuil an tAontas tar éis a inniúlacht a fheidhmiú, nó gur chinn an tAontas scor dá feidhmiú. Féadfaidh an méid sin tarlú i gcás ina gcinnfidh institiúidí ábhartha an Aontais gníomh reachtach a aisghairm, go háirithe d'fhonn gur fearr a d'áiritheofaí urramú phrionsabail na coimhdeachta agus na comhréireachta i gcónaí. Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar thionscnamh ó chomhalta amháin nó níos mó ná comhalta amháin dá cuid (ionadaithe na mBallstát) agus i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 241 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, a iarraidh ar an gCoimisiún tograí chun gníomh reachtach a aisghairm a chur faoina bráid. Tá áthas ar an gComhdháil go bhfuil an Coimisiún ag fógairt go dtabharfaidh sé aird ar leith ar an gcineál éilimh sin.
19. Declaration on Article 8 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Ar an gcuma chéanna, féadfaidh ionadaithe rialtais na mBallstát, ag teacht le chéile dóibh i gComhdháil Idir-Rialtasach, i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 48(2) go (5) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, a chinneadh go leasófaí na Conarthaí ar a bhfuil an tAontas fothaithe, lena n-áirítear na cumhachtaí a thugtar don Aontas leis na Conarthaí sin a mhéadú nó a laghdú.
The Conference agrees that, in its general efforts to eliminate inequalities between women and men, the Union will aim in its different policies to combat all kinds of domestic violence. The Member States should take all necessary measures to prevent and punish these criminal acts and to support and protect the victims.	19. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 8 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
20. Declaration on Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Comhaontaíonn an Chomhdháil gurb é is aidhm don Aontas ina bheartais éagsúla, faoi chuimsiú a chuid iarrachtaí ginearálta na neamhionannais idir mná agus fir a dhíchur, gach saghas foréigin bhaile a chomhrac. Is cóir do na Ballstáit gach beart is gá a ghlacadh chun na gníomhartha coiriúla sin a chosc agus a phionósú agus chun tacú leis na híospartaigh agus iad a chosaint.
The Conference declares that, whenever rules on protection of personal data to be adopted on the basis of Article 16 could have direct implications for national security, due account will have to be taken of the specific characteristics of the matter. It recalls that the legislation presently applicable (see in particular Directive 95/46/EC) includes specific derogations in this regard.	20. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 16 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
21. Declaration on the protection of personal data in the fields of judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil nach mór aird chuí a thabhairt ar shainghnéithe sonracha an ábhair nuair atá rialacha le glacadh ar bhonn Airteagal 16 a bhaineann le sonraí pearsanta a chosaint a bhféadfadh impleachtaí díreacha a bheith acu ar an tslándáil náisiúnta. Meabhraíonn sí go bhfuil maoluithe sonracha i dtaca leis sin ar áireamh sa reachtaíocht atá infheidhme faoi láthair (féach go háirithe Treoir 95/46/CE).
The Conference acknowledges that specific rules on the protection of personal data and the free movement of such data in the fields of judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation based on Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union may prove necessary because of the specific nature of these fields.	21. Dearbhú maidir le sonraí pearsanta a chosaint i réimse an chomhair bhreithiúnaigh in ábhair choiriúla agus an chomhair phóilíneachta
22. Declaration on Articles 48 and 79 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Aithníonn an Chomhdháil go bhféadfadh sé gur gá rialacha sonracha a bheith ann maidir le sonraí pearsanta a chosaint agus le saorghluaiseacht na sonraí sin i réimsí an chomhair bhreithiúnaigh in ábhair choiriúla agus an chomhair phóilíneachta atá bunaithe ar Airteagal 16 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh mar gheall ar chineál sonrach na réimsí sin.
The Conference considers that in the event that a draft legislative act based on Article 79(2) would affect important aspects of the social security system of a Member State, including its scope, cost or financial structure, or would affect the financial balance of that system as set out in the second paragraph of Article 48, the interests of that Member State will be duly taken into account.	22. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagail 48 agus 79 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
23. Declaration on the second paragraph of Article 48 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Measann an Chomhdháil más rud é go ndéanfadh dréachtghníomh reachtach arna bhunú ar Airteagal 79(2) difear do ghnéithe tábhachtacha de chóras slándála sóisialta Ballstáit, lena n-áirítear a raon feidhme, a chostas nó a struchtúr airgeadais, nó go ndéanfadh sé difear do chothromaíocht airgeadais an chórais sin mar atá leagtha amach sa dara mír d'Airteagal 48, go dtabharfar aird chuí ar leasanna an Bhallstáit sin.
The Conference recalls that in that case, in accordance with Article 15(4) of the Treaty on European Union, the European Council acts by consensus.	23. Dearbhú maidir leis an dara mír d'Airteagal 48 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
24. Declaration concerning the legal personality of the European Union	Meabhraíonn an Chomhdháil go nglacann an Chomhairle Eorpach cinntí sa chás sin trí chomhthoil, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 15(4) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach.
The Conference confirms that the fact that the European Union has a legal personality will not in any way authorise the Union to legislate or to act beyond the competences conferred upon it by the Member States in the Treaties.	24. Dearbhú maidir le pearsantacht dhlítheanach an Aontais Eorpaigh
25. Declaration on Articles 75 and 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil nach n-údaróidh pearsantacht dhlítheanach a bheith ag an Aontas Eorpach don Aontas reachtú nó gníomhú lasmuigh de na cumhachtaí atá tugtha ag na Ballstáit dó sna Conarthaí.
The Conference recalls that the respect for fundamental rights and freedoms implies, in particular, that proper attention is given to the protection and observance of the due process rights of the individuals or entities concerned. For this purpose and in order to guarantee a thorough judicial review of decisions subjecting an individual or entity to restrictive measures, such decisions must be based on clear and distinct criteria. These criteria should be tailored to the specifics of each restrictive measure.	25. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagail 75 agus 215 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
26. Declaration on non-participation by a Member State in a measure based on Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Meabhraíonn an Chomhdháil go leanann sé go háirithe ó chearta agus saoirsí bunúsacha a urramú go dtabharfar aire chuí do chearta próisis chuí na ndaoine aonair agus na n-eintiteas i dtrácht a chosaint agus a urramú. Chuige sin agus chun athbhreithniú breithiúnach críochnúil a ráthú ar chinntí a chuireann duine aonair nó eintiteas faoi réir beart sriantach, ní mór na cinntí sin a fhothú ar chritéir shoiléire leithleacha. Ba chóir na critéir sin a chur in oiriúint do na saintréithe atá ag gach beart sriantach.
The Conference declares that, where a Member State opts not to participate in a measure based on Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Council will hold a full discussion on the possible implications and effects of that Member State's non-participation in the measure.	26. Dearbhú maidir le neamh-rannpháirtíocht Ballstáit i mbeart atá bunaithe ar Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
In addition, any Member State may ask the Commission to examine the situation on the basis of Article 116 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil gurb amhlaidh, nuair a roghnaíonn Ballstát gan a bheith rannpháirteach i mbeart atá bunaithe ar Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, go ndéanfaidh an Chomhairle dianphlé ar na himpleachtaí agus ar na héifeachtaí a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ann de bharr neamh-rannpháirtíocht an Bhallstáit sa bheart sin.
The above paragraphs are without prejudice to the entitlement of a Member State to refer the matter to the European Council.	Ina theannta sin, féadfaidh gach Ballstát iarraidh ar an gCoimisiún an staid a iniúchadh ar bhonn Airteagal 116 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
27. Declaration on Article 85(1), second subparagraph, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Ní dochar na míreanna thuas do Bhallstát a bheith in ann an cheist sin a chur faoi bhráid na Comhairle Eorpaí.
The Conference considers that the regulations referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 85(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should take into account national rules and practices relating to the initiation of criminal investigations.	27. Dearbhú maidir leis an dara fomhír d'Airteagal 85(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
28. Declaration on Article 98 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Measann an Chomhdháil gur cóir do na rialacháin dá dtagraítear sa dara fomhír d'Airteagal 85(1) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh aird a thabhairt ar rialacha agus ar chleachtais náisiúnta a bhaineann le himscrúduithe coiriúla a thionscnamh.
The Conference notes that the provisions of Article 98 shall be applied in accordance with the current practice. The terms "such measures are required in order to compensate for the economic disadvantages caused by the division of Germany to the economy of certain areas of the Federal Republic affected by that division" shall be interpreted in accordance with the existing case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.	28. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 98 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
29. Declaration on Article 107(2)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire go gcuirfear forálacha Airteagal 98 i bhfeidhm i gcomhréir leis an gcleachtas reatha. Forléireofar an abairt "sa mhéid gur gá na bearta sin mar chúiteamh sna míbhuntáistí eacnamaíocha a thug deighilt na Gearmáine ar an ngeilleagar i limistéir áirithe de Phoblacht na Cónaidhme ar chuir an deighilt sin as dóibh" i gcomhréir leis an gcásdlí atá ann de chuid Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh.
The Conference notes that Article 107(2)(c) shall be interpreted in accordance with the existing case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding the applicability of the provisions to aid granted to certain areas of the Federal Republic of Germany affected by the former division of Germany.	29. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 107(2)(c) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
30. Declaration on Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire go léireofar Airteagal 107(2)(c) i gcomhréir leis an gcásdlí atá ann de chuid Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh i ndáil le hinfheidhmeacht na bhforálacha sin maidir le cabhair arna deonú do limistéir áirithe de Phoblacht Chónaidhme na Gearmáine ar chuir seandeighilt na Gearmáine as dóibh.
With regard to Article 126, the Conference confirms that raising growth potential and securing sound budgetary positions are the two pillars of the economic and fiscal policy of the Union and the Member States. The Stability and Growth Pact is an important tool to achieve these goals.	30. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 126 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
The Conference reaffirms its commitment to the provisions concerning the Stability and Growth Pact as the framework for the coordination of budgetary policies in the Member States.	I dtaca le hAirteagal 126, daingníonn an Chomhdháil gurb iad an dá philéar atá le beartas eacnamaíoch agus fioscach an Aontais agus na mBallstát cumas fáis a ardú agus riochtaí buiséadacha cobhsaí a ráthú. Is uirlis thábhachtach é an Comhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis chun na spriocanna sin a ghnóthú.
The Conference confirms that a rule-based system is the best guarantee for commitments to be enforced and for all Member States to be treated equally.	Athdhaingníonn an Chomhdháil a tiomantas do na forálacha maidir leis an gComhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis mar chreat chun beartais bhuiséadacha sna Ballstáit a chomhordú.
Within this framework, the Conference also reaffirms its commitment to the goals of the Lisbon Strategy: job creation, structural reforms, and social cohesion.	Daingníonn an Chomhdháil gur córas atá bunaithe ar rialacha an dóigh is fearr chun a ráthú go ndéanfar na gealltanais a fhorfheidhmiú agus go gcuirfear cóir chomhionann ar na Ballstáit uile.
The Union aims at achieving balanced economic growth and price stability. Economic and budgetary policies thus need to set the right priorities towards economic reforms, innovation, competitiveness and strengthening of private investment and consumption in phases of weak economic growth. This should be reflected in the orientations of budgetary decisions at the national and Union level in particular through restructuring of public revenue and expenditure while respecting budgetary discipline in accordance with the Treaties and the Stability and Growth Pact.	Laistigh den chreat sin, athdhaingníonn an Chomhdháil freisin a tiomantas do spriocanna straitéis Liospóin: cruthú fostaíochta, athchóiriú struchtúrach agus comhtháthú sóisialta.
Budgetary and economic challenges facing the Member States underline the importance of sound budgetary policy throughout the economic cycle.	Is é is aidhm don Aontas fás eacnamaíoch cothromaithe agus cobhsaíocht praghsanna a bhaint amach. Dá dheasca sin, caithfidh na beartais eacnamaíocha agus bhuiséadacha na tosaíochtaí leormhaithe a shocrú maidir le leasúcháin eacnamaíocha, nuáil, iomaíochas, agus leis an infheistíocht phríobháideach agus an tomhaltas príobháideach a neartú le linn tréimhsí lag-fháis eacnamaíoch. Is cóir é sin a léiriú i dtreoirlínte na gcinntí buiséadacha ar leibhéal náisiúnta agus ar leibhéal an Aontais, go háirithe tríd an ioncam agus an caiteachas poiblí a athstruchtúrú agus an smacht buiséadach á urramú i gcomhréir leis na Conarthaí agus leis an gComhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis.
The Conference agrees that Member States should use periods of economic recovery actively to consolidate public finances and improve their budgetary positions. The objective is to gradually achieve a budgetary surplus in good times which creates the necessary room to accommodate economic downturns and thus contribute to the long-term sustainability of public finances.	Na dúshláin bhuiséadacha agus eacnamaíocha atá le tabhairt ag na Ballstáit, cuireann siad i dtreis an tábhacht atá le beartas buiséadach cobhsaí i gcaitheamh an timthrialla eacnamaíoch.
The Member States look forward to possible proposals of the Commission as well as further contributions of Member States with regard to strengthening and clarifying the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact. The Member States will take all necessary measures to raise the growth potential of their economies. Improved economic policy coordination could support this objective. This Declaration does not prejudge the future debate on the Stability and Growth Pact.	Comhaontaíonn an Chomhdháil gur chóir do na Ballstáit leas gníomhach a bhaint as tréimhsí téarnaimh eacnamaíoch chun an t-airgeadas poiblí a chomhdhlúthú agus a riocht buiséadach a fheabhsú. Is é an cuspóir atá aige seo barrachas buiséadach a bhaint amach de réir a chéile aimsir an dea-shaoil ionas go mbeifear in ann déileáil le cora chun donais eacnamaíocha agus rannchuidiú mar sin le hinbhuaine fhadtéarmach an airgeadais phoiblí.

Declaration on Article 156 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Tá na Ballstáit ag tnúth le haon tograí a d'fhéadfadh an Coimisiún a dhéanamh mar aon le haighneachtaí breise ó na Ballstáit maidir le cur chun feidhme an Chomhshocraithe Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis a neartú agus a shoiléiriú. Glacfaidh na Ballstáit gach beart is gá chun cumas fáis a ngeilleagar a ardú. D'fhéadfadh comhordú feabhsaithe ar an mbeartas eacnamaíoch tacú leis an gcuspóir seo.

Is bearta de chineál comhlántach na bearta atá le glacadh ar leibhéal an Aontais i gcomhréir leis an Airteagal seo chun dreasacht a chur ar fáil agus an comhordú a chur chun cinn.

34. Declaration on Article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Measann an Chomhdháil go bhféadfar Stáit oileánacha ina n-iomláine a bheith ar áireamh sa tagairt in Airteagal 174 do "limistéir oileánacha", faoi réir na critéir is gá a chomhall.
The Conference agrees that the Union's action in the area of research and technological development will pay due respect to the fundamental orientations and choices of the research policies of the Member States.	34. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 179 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
35. Declaration on Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Comhaontaíonn an Chomhdháil go dtabharfaidh gníomhaíocht an Aontais i réimse an taighde agus na forbartha teicneolaíche aird chuí ar threoirlínte agus roghanna bunúsacha bheartais taighde na mBallstát.

37. Declaration on Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Daingníonn an Chomhdháil go bhféadfaidh na Ballstáit comhaontuithe a chaibidil agus a thabhairt i gcrích le tríú tíortha nó le heagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta sna réimsí atá folaithe i gCaibidlí 3, 4 agus 5 de Theideal V de Chuid a Trí a mhéad a chomhlíonann na comhaontuithe sin dlí an Aontais.
Without prejudice to the measures adopted by the Union to comply with its solidarity obligation towards a Member State which is the object of a terrorist attack or the victim of natural or man-made disaster, none of the provisions of Article 222 is intended to affect the right of another Member State to choose the most appropriate means to comply with its own solidarity obligation towards that Member State.	37. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 222 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh

The Conference declares that if, in accordance with Article 252, first paragraph, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Court of Justice requests that the number of Advocates-General be increased by three (eleven instead of eight), the Council will, acting unanimously, agree on such an increase.	38. Dearbhú i ndáil le hAirteagal 252 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir le líon na nAbhcóidí Ginearálta sa Chúirt Bhreithiúnais
In that case, the Conference agrees that Poland will, as is already the case for Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, have a permanent Advocate-General and no longer take part in the rotation system, while the existing rotation system will involve the rotation of five Advocates-General instead of three.	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil, más rud é go n-iarrann an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais, i gcomhréir leis an gcéad mhír d'Airteagal 252 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, go méadófar ar líon na nAbhcóidí Ginearálta le trí dhuine bhreise (aon duine dhéag seachas ochtar), aontóidh an Chomhairle, ag gníomhú di d'aon toil, leis an méadú sin.
39. Declaration on Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Sa chás sin, aontaíonn an Chomhdháil go mbeidh Abhcóide Ginearálta buan ag an bPolainn, faoi mar atá faoi láthair ag an nGearmáin, ag an bhFrainc, ag an Iodáil, ag an Spáinn, agus ag an Ríocht Aontaithe, agus nach mbeidh sí rannpháirteach a thuilleadh sa chóras uainíochta; fairis sin, beidh cúigear Abhcóidí Ginearálta sa chóras uainíochta atá ann faoi láthair in ionad triúir.
The Conference takes note of the Commission's intention to continue to consult experts appointed by the Member States in the preparation of draft delegated acts in the financial services area, in accordance with its established practice.	39.

40. Declaration on Article 329 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire go bhfuil sé ar intinn ag an gCoimisiún, i gcomhréir lena chleachtas seanbhunaithe, leanúint de dhul i gcomhairle le saineolaithe arna n-ainmniú ag na Ballstáit, agus dréachtghníomhartha arna dtarmligean i réimse na seirbhísí airgeadais á n-ullmhú aige.
The Conference declares that Member States may indicate, when they make a request to establish enhanced cooperation, if they intend already at that stage to make use of Article 333 providing for the extension of qualified majority voting or to have recourse to the ordinary legislative procedure.	40. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 329 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
41. Declaration on Article 352 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Dearbhaíonn an Chomhdháil go bhféadfaidh na Ballstáit a chur i bhfios, nuair a dhéanann siad iarraidh comhar feabhsaithe a chur ar bun, an bhfuil sé ar intinn acu cheana ag an bpointe sin leas a bhaint as Airteagal 333 lena bhforáiltear don vótáil trí thromlach cáilithe a fhorleathnú nó dul ar iontaoibh an ghnáthnós imeachta reachtaigh.
The Conference declares that the reference in Article 352(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to objectives of the Union refers to the objectives as set out in Article 3(2) and (3) of the Treaty on European Union and to the objectives of Article 3(5) of the said Treaty with respect to external action under Part Five of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It is therefore excluded that an action based on Article 352 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union would only pursue objectives set out in Article 3(1) of the Treaty on European Union. In this connection, the Conference notes that in accordance with Article 31(1) of the Treaty on European Union, legislative acts may not be adopted in the area of the Common Foreign and Security Policy.	41. Dearbhú maidir le hAirteagal 352 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh

Dá bhrí sin, ní féidir nach bhféachfadh aon ghníomhaíocht atá bunaithe ar Airteagal 352 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh le cuspóirí eile a shaothrú chomh maith leis na cuspóirí atá leagtha amach in Airteagal 3(1) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach. I dtaca leis sin, tugann an Chomhdháil dá haire nach bhféadfar, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 31(1) den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach, gníomhartha reachtacha a ghlacadh i réimse an Chomhbheartais Eachtraigh agus Slándála.
The Conference underlines that, in accordance with the settled case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, Article 352 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, being an integral part of an institutional system based on the principle of conferred powers, cannot serve as a basis for widening the scope of Union powers beyond the general framework created by the provisions of the Treaties as a whole and, in particular, by those that define the tasks and the activities of the Union. In any event, this Article cannot be used as a basis for the adoption of provisions whose effect would, in substance, be to amend the Treaties without following the procedure which they provide for that purpose.	42.

Ní fhéadfar, ar chor ar bith, leas a bhaint as an Airteagal sin mar bhunús chun forálacha a ghlacadh arb é a n-éifeacht shubstaintiúil na Conarthaí a leasú gan cloí leis an nós imeachta a sholáthraíonn siad chuige sin.
The High Contracting Parties agree that the European Council, pursuant to Article 355(6), will take a decision leading to the modification of the status of Mayotte with regard to the Union in order to make this territory an outermost region within the meaning of Article 355(1) and Article 349, when the French authorities notify the European Council and the Commission that the evolution currently under way in the internal status of the island so allows.	43.

B. DECLARATIONS CONCERNING PROTOCOLS ANNEXED TO THE TREATIES	Comhaontaíonn na hArdpháirtithe Conarthacha go nglacfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, de bhun Airteagal 355(6) cinneadh as a dtiocfaidh modhnú ar stádas Mayotte i leith an Aontais chun réigiún forimeallach a dhéanamh den chríoch sin de réir bhrí Airteagal 355(1) agus Airteagal 349 nuair a chuirfidh údaráis na Fraince in iúl don Chomhairle Eorpach agus don Choimisiún go gceadaítear sin leis an éabhlóid atá ar siúl maidir le stádas inmheánach an oileáin.

Seolfar an plé sa Chomhairle i bhfianaise na sonraí a thabharfaidh an Coimisiún maidir leis an ngaol idir an togra agus acquis Schengen.

Declaration by the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Austria, the Portuguese Republic, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic on the symbols of the European Union	Is mian leis an mBeilg a chur i bhfios, i gcomhréir lena dlí bunreachtúil, go ndéanann Teach Ionadaithe agus Seanad na Parlaiminte Cónaidhme mar aon le tionóil pharlaiminteacha na bPobal agus na Réigiún, i bhfianaise na n-inniúlachtaí arna bhfeidhmiú ag an Aontas, gníomhú mar chomhpháirteanna den chóras parlaiminteach náisiúnta nó mar sheomraí den Pharlaimint náisiúnta.
Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Hungary, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and the Slovak Republic declare that the flag with a circle of twelve golden stars on a blue background, the anthem based on the "Ode to Joy" from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, the motto "United in diversity", the euro as the currency of the European Union and Europe Day on 9 May will for them continue as symbols to express the sense of community of the people in the European Union and their allegiance to it.	52. Dearbhú ó Ríocht na Beilge, ó Phoblacht na Bulgáire, ó Phoblacht Chónaidhme na Gearmáine, ón bPoblacht Heilléanach, ó Ríocht na Spáinne, ó Phoblacht na hIodáile, ó Phoblacht na Cipire, ó Phoblacht na Liotuáine, ó Ard-Diúcacht Lucsamburg, ó Phoblacht na hUngáire, ó Phoblacht Mhálta, ó Phoblacht na hOstaire, ó Phoblacht na Portaingéile, ón Rómáin, ó Phoblacht na Slóivéine agus ó Phoblacht na Slóvaice maidir le siombail an Aontais Eorpaigh
53. Declaration by the Czech Republic on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union	Dearbhaíonn an Bheilg, an Bhulgáir, an Ghearmáin, an Ghréig, an Spáinn, an Iodáil, an Chipir, an Liotuáin, Lucsamburg, an Ungáir, Málta, an Ostair, an Phortaingéil, an Rómáin, an tSlóivéin agus an tSlóvaic go leanfaidh an bhratach a bhfuil ciorcal de dhá cheann déag de réaltaí órga ar chúlra gorm uirthi, an roscamhrán "Óid don Aoibhneas" as Naoú Siansa Ludwig van Beethoven, an mana "Aontaithe san éagsúlacht", an euro mar airgeadra an Aontais Eorpaigh agus lá na hEorpa an 9 Bealtaine de bheith ina siombailí dóibhsean de bhallraíocht choiteann na ndaoine san Aontas Eorpach agus den cheangal atá acu leis an Aontas Eorpach.
1. The Czech Republic recalls that the provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are addressed to the institutions and bodies of the European Union with due regard for the principle of subsidiarity and division of competences between the European Union and its Member States, as reaffirmed in Declaration (No 18) in relation to the delimitation of competences. The Czech Republic stresses that its provisions are addressed to the Member States only when they are implementing Union law, and not when they are adopting and implementing national law independently from Union law.	53. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht na Seice maidir le Cairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh
2. The Czech Republic also emphasises that the Charter does not extend the field of application of Union law and does not establish any new power for the Union. It does not diminish the field of application of national law and does not restrain any current powers of the national authorities in this field.	1. Meabhraíonn Poblacht na Seice gur ar institiúidí agus ar chomhlachtaí an Aontais Eorpaigh atá forálacha Chairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh dírithe agus aird chuí á tabhairt ar phrionsabal na coimhdeachta agus ar roinnt na n-inniúlachtaí idir an tAontas Eorpach agus a Bhallstáit, faoi mar a athdhaingnítear i nDearbhú (Uimh. 18) maidir le hinniúlachtaí a theorannú. Cuireann Poblacht na Seice i bhfios go láidir nach ndírítear forálacha na Cairte ar na Ballstáit seachas nuair a bhíonn dlí an Aontais á chur chun feidhme acu agus nach ndírítear orthu iad nuair a bhíonn dlí náisiúnta á ghlacadh ná á chur chun feidhme acu gan spleáchas ar dhlí an Aontais.
3. The Czech Republic stresses that, in so far as the Charter recognises fundamental rights and principles as they result from constitutional traditions common to the Member States, those rights and principles are to be interpreted in harmony with those traditions.	2. Cuireann Poblacht na Seice i bhfios go láidir freisin nach ndéantar raon feidhme dhlí an Aontais a leathnú leis an gCairt ná nach mbunaítear aon chumhacht nua de chuid an Aontais léi. Ní laghdaítear raon feidhme an dlí náisiúnta léi ná ní chuirtear srian léi ar aon chumhachtaí atá ag na húdaráis náisiúnta sa réimse seo faoi láthair.
4. The Czech Republic further stresses that nothing in the Charter may be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective field of application, by Union law and by international agreements to which the Union or all the Member States are party, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States' Constitutions.	3. Cuireann Poblacht na Seice i bhfios go tréan, maidir le cearta bunúsacha agus prionsabail bhunúsacha, a mhéid a aithnítear sa Chairt iad mar a eascraíonn siad as na traidisiúin bhunreachtúla is coiteann do na Ballstáit, nach mór iad a léiriú i gcomhréir leis na traidisiúin sin.
54. Declaration by the Federal Republic of Germany, Ireland, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Austria and the Kingdom of Sweden	4. Cuireann Poblacht na Seice i bhfios go daingean, lena chois sin, nach bhféadfar rud ar bith atá sa Chairt a léiriú ar bhealach a chuirfeadh srian ar chearta an duine ná ar shaoirsí bunúsacha ná a dhéanfadh dochar dóibh, mar a aithnítear ina raon feidhme faoi seach iad le dlí an Aontais agus le comhaontuithe idirnáisiúnta a bhfuil an tAontas nó na Ballstáit uile ina bpáirtithe iontu, lena n-áirítear an Coinbhinsiún Eorpach chun Cearta an Duine agus Saoirsí Bunúsacha a Chosaint, agus le Bunreachtanna na mBallstát.
Germany, Ireland, Hungary, Austria and Sweden note that the core provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community have not been substantially amended since its entry into force and need to be brought up to date. They therefore support the idea of a Conference of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, which should be convened as soon as possible.	54. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht Chónaidhme na Gearmáine, ó Éirinn, ó Phoblacht na hUngáire, ó Phoblacht na hOstaire agus ó Ríocht na Sualainne
55. Declaration by the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland	Tugann an Ghearmáin, Éire, an Ungáir, an Ostair agus an tSualainn dá n-aire nach ndearnadh croí-fhorálacha an Chonartha ag bunú an Chomhphobail Eorpaigh do Fhuinneamh Adamhach a leasú go substaintiúil ó tháinig sé i bhfeidhm agus gur gá iad a thabhairt suas chun dáta. Mar sin, tá siad i bhfabhar Comhdháil d'Ionadaithe Rialtais na mBallstát a chomóradh a luaithe is féidir.
The Treaties apply to Gibraltar as a European territory for whose external relations a Member State is responsible. This shall not imply changes in the respective positions of the Member States concerned.	55. Dearbhú ó Ríocht na Spáinne agus ó Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann
56. Declaration by Ireland on Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice	Tá feidhm ag na Conarthaí maidir le Giobráltar mar chríoch Eorpach a bhfuil Ballstát freagrach as a chaidreamh eachtrach. Ní leanfaidh uaidh sin aon athrú i seasaimh faoi seach na mBallstát i dtrácht.
Ireland affirms its commitment to the Union as an area of freedom, security and justice respecting fundamental rights and the different legal systems and traditions of the Member States within which citizens are provided with a high level of safety.	56. Dearbhú ó Éirinn maidir le hAirteagal 3 den Phrótacal maidir le seasamh na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann i dtaca leis an limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais
Accordingly, Ireland declares its firm intention to exercise its right under Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice to take part in the adoption of measures pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to the maximum extent it deems possible.	Daingníonn Éire a tiomantas don Aontas mar limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais a urramaíonn cearta bunúsacha agus córais dlí éagsúla agus traidisiúin éagsúla na mBallstát agus ina gcuirtear ardleibhéal sábháilteachta ar fáil do na saoránaigh.
Ireland will, in particular, participate to the maximum possible extent in measures in the field of police cooperation.	Dá réir sin, dearbhaíonn Éire go bhfuil sé de rún daingean aici a ceart a fheidhmiú, faoi Airteagal 3 den Phrótacal maidir le seasamh na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann i dtaca leis an limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais, chun bheith rannpháirteach i nglacadh beart de bhun Theideal V de Chuid a Trí den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a mhéid a mheasann sí is féidir.
Furthermore, Ireland recalls that in accordance with Article 8 of the Protocol it may notify the Council in writing that it no longer wishes to be covered by the terms of the Protocol. Ireland intends to review the operation of these arrangements within three years of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon.	Beidh Éire, go háirithe, rannpháirteach a mhéid is féidir i mbearta i réimse an chomhair phóilíneachta.
57. Declaration by the Italian Republic on the composition of the European Parliament	Fairis sin, meabhraítear d'Éirinn gurb amhlaidh, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 8 den Phrótacal, go bhféadfaidh sí fógra a thabhairt i scríbhinn don Chomhairle nach mian léi a thuilleadh a bheith folaithe ag téarmaí an Phrótacail. Tá sé d'intinn ag Éirinn oibriú na socruithe sin a athbhreithniú laistigh de thrí bliana ó theacht i bhfeidhm Chonradh Liospóin.
Italy notes that, pursuant to Articles 10 and 14 of the Treaty on European Union, the European Parliament is to be composed of representatives of the Union's citizens; this representation is to be degressively proportional.	57. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht na hIodáile maidir le comhdhéanamh Pharlaimint na hEorpa
Italy likewise notes that on the basis of Article 9 of the Treaty on European Union and Article 20 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, every national of a Member State is a citizen of the Union.	Tugann an Iodáil dá haire go bhfuil Parlaimint na hEorpa comhdhéanta d'ionadaithe de shaoránaigh an Aontais a ndéanfar ionadaíocht chomhréireach chéimlaghdaitheach orthu, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 10 agus le hAirteagal 14 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach.
Italy therefore considers that, without prejudice to the decision on the 2009-2014 legislative period, any decision adopted by the European Council, at the initiative of the European Parliament and with its consent, establishing the composition of the European Parliament, must abide by the principles laid down out in the first subparagraph of Article 14.	Tugann an Iodáil dá haire freisin gur saoránach den Aontas é gach duine a bhfuil náisiúnacht Ballstáit aige, de bhun Airteagal 9 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach agus de bhun Airteagal 20 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
58. Declaration by the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of Malta on the spelling of the name of the single currency in the Treaties	Dá bhrí sin, measann an Iodáil gur cheart do gach cinneadh a ghlacfaidh an Chomhairle Eorpach, ar thionscnamh ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus lena toiliú, lena socrófar comhdhéanamh Pharlaimint na hEorpa, na prionsabail dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír d'Airteagal 14(2) a urramú, gan dochar don chinneadh maidir leis an téarma parlaiminte 2009-2014.
Without prejudice to the unified spelling of the name of the single currency of the European Union referred to in the Treaties as displayed on the banknotes and on the coins, Latvia, Hungary and Malta declare that the spelling of the name of the single currency, including its derivatives as applied throughout the Latvian, Hungarian and Maltese text of the Treaties, has no effect on the existing rules of the Latvian, Hungarian or Maltese languages.	58. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht na Laitvia, ó Phoblacht na hUngáire agus ó Phoblacht Mhálta maidir le litriú ainm an airgeadra aonair sna Conarthaí
59. Declaration by the Kingdom of the Netherlands on Article 312 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Gan dochar do litriú aontaithe ainm airgeadra aonair an Aontais Eorpaigh dá dtagraítear sna Conarthaí agus mar atá ar na nótaí bainc agus ar na monaí, dearbhaíonn an Laitvia, an Ungáir agus Málta nach bhfuil aon éifeacht ag litriú ainm an airgeadra aonair, lena n-áirítear a dhíorthaigh, mar atá arna úsáid sa leagan Laitvise, sa leagan Ungáirise agus sa leagan Máltaise de na Conarthaí, ar rialacha láithreacha na Laitvise, na hUngáirise agus na Máltaise.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands will agree to a decision as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 312(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union once a revision of the decision referred to in the third paragraph of Article 311 of that Treaty has provided the Netherlands with a satisfactory solution for its excessive negative net payment position vis-à-vis the Union budget.	59. Dearbhú ó Ríocht na hÍsiltíre maidir le hAirteagal 312 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
60. Declaration by the Kingdom of the Netherlands on Article 355 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Comhaontóidh Ríocht na hÍsiltíre le cinneadh dá dtagraítear sa dara fomhír d'Airteagal 312(2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a luaithe a bheidh réiteach sásúil maidir lena glanriocht diúltach iomarcach íocaíochtaí i leith bhuiséad an Aontais curtha ar fáil don Ísiltír le coigeartú ar an gcinneadh dá dtagraítear sa tríú mír d'Airteagal 311 den Chonradh sin.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands declares that an initiative for a decision, as referred to in Article 355(6) aimed at amending the status of the Netherlands Antilles and/or Aruba with regard to the Union, will be submitted only on the basis of a decision taken in conformity with the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.	60. Dearbhú ó Ríocht na hÍsiltíre maidir le hAirteagal 355 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
61. Declaration by the Republic of Poland on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union	Dearbhaíonn Ríocht na hÍsiltíre nach dtíolacfar tionscnamh do chinneadh dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 355(6) arb é is aidhm dó stádas Aintillí na hÍsiltíre agus/nó Aruba i leith an Aontais a mhodhnú, ach amháin ar bhonn cinneadh arna ghlacadh ar cothrom leis an gCairt do Ríocht na hÍsiltíre.
The Charter does not affect in any way the right of Member States to legislate in the sphere of public morality, family law, as well as the protection of human dignity and respect for human physical and moral integrity.	61. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht na Polainne maidir le Cairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh
62. Declaration by the Republic of Poland concerning the Protocol on the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in relation to Poland and the United Kingdom	Ní dhéanann an Chairt difear ar aon dóigh do cheart na mBallstát reachtú i réimse na morálachta poiblí, an dlí teaghlaigh, chosaint dhínit an duine agus an mheasa ar iomláine choirp agus mhorálta an duine.
Poland declares that, having regard to the tradition of social movement of "Solidarity" and its significant contribution to the struggle for social and labour rights, it fully respects social and labour rights, as established by European Union law, and in particular those reaffirmed in Title IV of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.	62. Dearbhú ó Phoblacht na Polainne maidir leis an bPrótacal maidir le Cairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh a chur i bhfeidhm maidir leis an bPolainn agus leis an Ríocht Aontaithe
63. Declaration by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the definition of the term "nationals"	Dearbhaíonn an Pholainn, ag féachaint do thraidisiún na gluaiseachta "Solidarnosc" agus dá rannchuidiú suntasach don streachailt ar son ceart daonna agus oibre, go n-urramaíonn sí cearta sóisialta agus oibre go hiomlán, mar atá siad bunaithe le dlí an Aontais Eorpaigh, agus go háirithe na cearta a athdhearbhaítear i dTeideal IV de Chairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais Eorpaigh.
In respect of the Treaties and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in any of the acts deriving from those Treaties or continued in force by those Treaties, the United Kingdom reiterates the Declaration it made on 31 December 1982 on the definition of the term "nationals" with the exception that the reference to "British Dependent Territories Citizens" shall be read as meaning "British overseas territories citizens".	63. Dearbhú ó Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann maidir le sainiú an téarma "náisiúnaigh"
64. Declaration by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the franchise for elections to the European Parliament	I ndáil leis na Conarthaí agus leis an gConradh ag bunú an Chomhphobail Eorpaigh do Fhuinneamh Adamhach, agus le haon cheann de na gníomhartha a chineann ó na Conarthaí sin nó a leanann de bheith i bhfeidhm de bhua na gConarthaí sin, athdhéanann an Ríocht Aontaithe an Dearbhú a rinne sí an 31 Nollaig 1982 maidir le sainiú an fhocail "náisiúnaigh" ach amháin go dtuigfear an tagairt do "dhaoine is saoránaigh de na spleáchríocha Briotanacha" mar thagairt do "dhaoine is saoránaigh de Chríocha Briotanacha thar lear".
The United Kingdom notes that Article 14 of the Treaty on European Union and other provisions of the Treaties are not intended to change the basis for the franchise for elections to the European Parliament.	64. Dearbhú ó Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann maidir leis an gceart vótála sna toghcháin do Pharlaimint na hEorpa
65. Declaration by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on Article 75 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union	Tugann an Ríocht Aontaithe dá haire nach bhfuil Airteagal 14 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus forálacha eile de na Conarthaí ceaptha chun an bonn atá leis an gceart vótála sna toghcháin do Pharlaimint na hEorpa a athrú.
The United Kingdom fully supports robust action with regard to adopting financial sanctions designed to prevent and combat terrorism and related activities. Therefore, the United Kingdom declares that it intends to exercise its right under Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice to take part in the adoption of all proposals made under Article 75 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.	65. Dearbhú ó Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann maidir le hAirteagal 75 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh
[1] "It follows (…) that the law stemming from the treaty, an independent source of law, could not, because of its special and original nature, be overridden by domestic legal provisions, however framed, without being deprived of its character as Community law and without the legal basis of the Community itself being called into question." "	Tugann an Ríocht Aontaithe lántacaíocht do ghníomhaíocht láidir i dtaca le smachtbhannaí airgeadais a ghlacadh a cheapfar chun an sceimhlitheoireacht agus gníomhaíochtaí gaolmhara a chosc agus a chomhrac. Dearbhaíonn an Ríocht Aontaithe, dá bhrí sin, go bhfuil sé ar intinn aici a ceart faoi Airteagal 3 den Phrótacal maidir le seasamh na Ríochta Aontaithe agus na hÉireann i dtaca leis an limistéar saoirse, slándála agus ceartais a fheidhmiú bheith rannpháirteach i nglacadh gach togra a dhéanfar faoi Airteagal 75 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh.
--------------------------------------------------	[1] "Is é an toradh atá ar (…) nach bhféadfadh forálacha dlíthiúla baile, is cuma cén tslí ina gcumfaí iad, cur go breithiúnach i gcoinne an dlí a eascraíonn ón gConradh, mar gheall ar chineál sonrach bunaidh an dlí sin, ar foinse dhlí neamhspleách é, gan a chineál mar dhlí Comhphobail a bhaint de agus gan bonn dlíthiúil an Chomhphobail féin a thabhairt faoi cheist."
