ODLOČBA št. 1364/2006/ES EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETA

z dne 6. septembra 2006

o določitvi smernic za vseevropska energetska omrežja in razveljavitvi Odločbe 96/391/ES in Odločbe št. 1229/2003/ES

EVROPSKI PARLAMENT IN SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE STA —

ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 156 Pogodbe,

ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije,

ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora (1),

po posvetovanju z Odborom regij,

ob upoštevanju postopka, določenega v členu 251 Pogodbe (2),

ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

| (1) | Po sprejetju Odločbe št. 1229/2003/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o določitvi vrste smernic za vseevropska energetska omrežja (3) se je pojavila potreba po popolni vključitvi novih držav članic, držav pristopnic in držav kandidatk v te smernice ter po nadaljnji prilagoditvi, če je to potrebno, teh smernic novi politiki približevanja Evropske unije. |

Po sprejetju Odločbe št. 1229/2003/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o določitvi vrste smernic za vseevropska energetska omrežja (3) se je pojavila potreba po popolni vključitvi novih držav članic, držav pristopnic in držav kandidatk v te smernice ter po nadaljnji prilagoditvi, če je to potrebno, teh smernic novi politiki približevanja Evropske unije.

| (2) | Prednostne naloge na področju vseevropskih energetskih omrežij izhajajo iz oblikovanja bolj odprtega in konkurenčnega notranjega energetskega trga zaradi izvajanja Direktive 2003/54/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo (4) in Direktive 2003/55/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o skupnih pravilih notranjega trga z zemeljskim plinom (5). Te prednostne naloge upoštevajo sklepe Evropskega sveta v Stockholmu z dne 23. in 24. marca 2001 glede razvoja infrastrukture, potrebne za delovanje energetskega trga. Posebej bi si bilo treba prizadevati za doseganje cilja večje uporabe obnovljivih virov energije, kot prispevek k pospeševanju politike trajnostnega razvoja. Vendar pa bi bilo treba ta cilj doseči, ne da bi povzročili nesorazmerne motnje v normalnem tržnem ravnotežju. Popolnoma naj se upošteva tudi cilje prometne politike Skupnosti, predvsem možnost zmanjšanja cestnega prometa z uporabo plinovodov. |

| (4) | Praviloma naj se pri izgradnji in vzdrževanju energetske infrastrukture upoštevajo tržna načela. To je tudi v skladu s skupnimi pravili za dokončno oblikovanje notranjega energetskega trga in skupnimi pravili konkurenčnega prava, katerih cilj je oblikovanje bolj odprtega in konkurenčnega notranjega energetskega trga. Finančna pomoč Skupnosti za izgradnjo in vzdrževanje bi se torej morala dodeliti samo kot izjema in te izjeme bi morale biti ustrezno utemeljene. |

| (7) | Prednostne naloge za vseevropska energetska omrežja izhajajo tudi iz naraščajoče pomembnosti vseevropskih energetskih omrežij za zagotavljanje zanesljive in raznolike energetske oskrbe Skupnosti, za vključitev energetskih omrežij novih držav članic, držav pristopnic in držav kandidatk ter za omogočanje usklajenega delovanja energetskih omrežij v Skupnosti in sosednjih državah, po posvetovanju z zadevnimi državami članicami. Sosednje države Skupnosti imajo ključno vlogo v energetski politiki Skupnosti. Pokrivajo namreč večji del potreb Skupnosti po zemeljskem plinu, so tudi ključne partnerice za tranzit primarne energije v Skupnosti in bodo postopoma postale bolj pomembni akterji na notranjih trgih plina in elektroenergetskih trgih Skupnosti. |

| (8) | Med projekti, ki se nanašajo na vseevropska energetska omrežja, je treba izpostaviti prednostne projekte, ki so zelo pomembni za delovanje notranjega energetskega trga ali za zanesljivo oskrbo z energijo. Hkrati bi bilo treba oblikovati Izjavo o evropskem interesu za tiste projekte, ki so prednostni in za katere je potrebna tudi večja usklajenost. |

PRILOGA I

THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS PROTOCOL,

DECLARING that effective action to prevent and combat the smuggling of migrants by land, sea and air requires a comprehensive international approach, including cooperation, the exchange of information and other appropriate measures, including socio-economic measures, at the national, regional and international levels,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 54/212 of 22 December 1999, in which the Assembly urged Member States and the United Nations system to strengthen international cooperation in the area of international migration and development in order to address the root causes of migration, especially those related to poverty, and to maximize the benefits of international migration to those concerned, and encouraged, where relevant, interregional, regional and subregional mechanisms to continue to address the question of migration and development,

CONVINCED of the need to provide migrants with humane treatment and full protection of their rights,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the fact that, despite work undertaken in other international forums, there is no universal instrument that addresses all aspects of smuggling of migrants and other related issues,

ALSO CONCERNED that the smuggling of migrants can endanger the lives or security of the migrants involved,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided to establish an open-ended intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention against transnational organised crime and of discussing the elaboration of, inter alia, an international instrument addressing illegal trafficking in and transporting of migrants, including by sea,

PRILOGA II

Izjava o pristojnosti Evropske skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu

Člen 21(3) Protokola določa, da listina o pristopu regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje vsebuje izjavo o podrobni določitvi zadev, ki jih ureja Protokol in v zvezi s katerimi so države članice te organizacije, ki so pogodbenice Protokola, prenesle svojo pristojnost na to organizacijo.

Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku se uporablja v zvezi s pristojnostmi, prenesenimi na Evropsko skupnost, za ozemlja, na katerih se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, pod pogoji, določenimi v navedeni pogodbi, zlasti v členu 299 Pogodbe in v k tej pogodbi priloženih protokolih.

Ta izjava ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

Ta izjava prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, ki je priložen k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

V skladu s členom 299 se ta izjava prav tako ne uporablja za ozemlja držav članic, na katerih se navedena pogodba ne uporablja, in ne posega v akte ali stališča, ki jih lahko zadevne države članice v okviru Protokola sprejmejo v imenu in v interesu teh ozemelj. Glede na zgoraj navedeno so v tej izjavi navedene pristojnosti, ki so jih države članice v zadevah, ki jih ureja Protokol, v skladu s Pogodbami prenesle na Skupnost. Obseg in izvajanje teh pristojnosti Skupnosti sta po svoji naravi podvržena stalnim spremembam, saj Skupnost sprejema vedno nova pravila in predpise. Skupnost bo zato to izjavo v skladu s členom 21(3) Protokola po potrebi dopolnila ali spremenila.

Skupnost poudarja, da ima pristojnost glede prehajanja zunanjih meja držav članic, določanja standardov in postopkov za izvajanje osebnih kontrol na teh mejah ter predpisov o vizumih, kjer predvideno bivanje ni daljše od treh mesecev. Skupnost je prav tako pristojna za ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na politiko priseljevanja, v zvezi s pogoji vstopa in bivanja, ter za ukrepe proti nezakonitemu priseljevanju in nezakonitemu bivanju, vključno z vračanjem oseb, ki nezakonito bivajo v državi članici, v izvorno državo. Poleg tega lahko sprejema ukrepe za zagotovitev sodelovanja med ustreznimi upravnimi službami držav članic na prej omenjenih področjih ter med temi službami in Komisijo. Skupnost je na teh področjih že sprejela pravila in predpise in je torej na področjih, na katerih je sprejela ta pravila in predpise, izključno naloga Skupnosti, da sprejema zunanje zaveze nasproti tretjim državam ali pristojnim mednarodnim organizacijam.

Poleg tega politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja dopolnjuje politike držav članic ter vključuje določbe o preprečevanju in boju proti tihotapljenju migrantov.

PRILOGA I

against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime

PREAMBLE

THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS PROTOCOL,

DECLARING that effective action to prevent and combat the smuggling of migrants by land, sea and air requires a comprehensive international approach, including cooperation, the exchange of information and other appropriate measures, including socio-economic measures, at the national, regional and international levels,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 54/212 of 22 December 1999, in which the Assembly urged Member States and the United Nations system to strengthen international cooperation in the area of international migration and development in order to address the root causes of migration, especially those related to poverty, and to maximize the benefits of international migration to those concerned, and encouraged, where relevant, interregional, regional and subregional mechanisms to continue to address the question of migration and development,

CONVINCED of the need to provide migrants with humane treatment and full protection of their rights,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the fact that, despite work undertaken in other international forums, there is no universal instrument that addresses all aspects of smuggling of migrants and other related issues,

CONCERNED at the significant increase in the activities of organised criminal groups in smuggling of migrants and other related criminal activities set forth in this Protocol, which bring great harm to the States concerned,

ALSO CONCERNED that the smuggling of migrants can endanger the lives or security of the migrants involved,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided to establish an open-ended intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention against transnational organised crime and of discussing the elaboration of, inter alia, an international instrument addressing illegal trafficking in and transporting of migrants, including by sea,

PRILOGA II

Izjava o pristojnosti Evropske skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu

Člen 21(3) Protokola določa, da listina o pristopu regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje vsebuje izjavo o podrobni določitvi zadev, ki jih ureja Protokol in v zvezi s katerimi so države članice te organizacije, ki so pogodbenice Protokola, prenesle svojo pristojnost na to organizacijo.

Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku se uporablja v zvezi s pristojnostmi, prenesenimi na Evropsko skupnost, za ozemlja, na katerih se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, pod pogoji, določenimi v navedeni pogodbi, zlasti v členu 299 Pogodbe in v k tej pogodbi priloženih protokolih.

Ta izjava ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

Ta izjava prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, ki je priložen k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

V skladu s členom 299 se ta izjava prav tako ne uporablja za ozemlja držav članic, na katerih se navedena pogodba ne uporablja, in ne posega v akte ali stališča, ki jih lahko zadevne države članice v okviru Protokola sprejmejo v imenu in v interesu teh ozemelj. Glede na zgoraj navedeno so v tej izjavi navedene pristojnosti, ki so jih države članice v zadevah, ki jih ureja Protokol, v skladu s Pogodbami prenesle na Skupnost. Obseg in izvajanje teh pristojnosti Skupnosti sta po svoji naravi podvržena stalnim spremembam, saj Skupnost sprejema vedno nova pravila in predpise. Skupnost bo zato to izjavo v skladu s členom 21(3) Protokola po potrebi dopolnila ali spremenila.

Skupnost poudarja, da ima pristojnost glede prehajanja zunanjih meja držav članic, določanja standardov in postopkov za izvajanje osebnih kontrol na teh mejah ter predpisov o vizumih, kjer predvideno bivanje ni daljše od treh mesecev. Skupnost je prav tako pristojna za ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na politiko priseljevanja, v zvezi s pogoji vstopa in bivanja, ter za ukrepe proti nezakonitemu priseljevanju in nezakonitemu bivanju, vključno z vračanjem oseb, ki nezakonito bivajo v državi članici, v izvorno državo. Poleg tega lahko sprejema ukrepe za zagotovitev sodelovanja med ustreznimi upravnimi službami držav članic na prej omenjenih področjih ter med temi službami in Komisijo. Skupnost je na teh področjih že sprejela pravila in predpise in je torej na področjih, na katerih je sprejela ta pravila in predpise, izključno naloga Skupnosti, da sprejema zunanje zaveze nasproti tretjim državam ali pristojnim mednarodnim organizacijam.

Poleg tega politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja dopolnjuje politike držav članic ter vključuje določbe o preprečevanju in boju proti tihotapljenju migrantov.

PRILOGA I

PROTOCOL

to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime

PREAMBLE

THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS PROTOCOL,

DECLARING that effective action to prevent and combat trafficking in persons, especially women and children, requires a comprehensive international approach in the countries of origin, transit and destination that includes measures to prevent such trafficking, to punish the traffickers and to protect the victims of such trafficking, including by protecting their internationally recognised human rights,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the fact that, despite the existence of a variety of international instruments containing rules and practical measures to combat the exploitation of persons, especially women and children, there is no universal instrument that addresses all aspects of trafficking in persons,

CONCERNED that, in the absence of such an instrument, persons who are vulnerable to trafficking will not be sufficiently protected,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided to establish an open-ended intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention against transnational organised crime and of discussing the elaboration of, inter alia, an international instrument addressing trafficking in women and children,

PRILOGA II

Izjava o pristojnosti Evropske skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu

Člen 16(3) Protokola o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, določa, da listina o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje vsebuje izjavo o podrobni določitvi zadev, ki jih ureja Protokol in v zvezi s katerimi so države članice te organizacije, ki so pogodbenice Protokola, prenesle svojo pristojnost na to organizacijo.

Protokol o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, se uporablja v zvezi s pristojnostmi, prenesenimi na Evropsko skupnost, za ozemlja, na katerih se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, pod pogoji, določenimi v navedeni pogodbi, zlasti v členu 299 Pogodbe in v k tej pogodbi priloženih protokolih.

Ta izjava ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

Ta izjava prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, ki je priložen k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

V skladu s členom 299 se ta izjava prav tako ne uporablja za ozemlja držav članic, na katerih se navedena pogodba ne uporablja, in ne posega v akte ali stališča, ki jih lahko zadevne države članice v okviru Protokola sprejmejo v imenu in v interesu teh ozemelj. Glede na zgoraj navedeno so v tej izjavi navedene pristojnosti, ki so jih države članice v zadevah, ki jih ureja Protokol, v skladu s Pogodbami prenesle na Skupnost. Obseg in izvajanje teh pristojnosti Skupnosti sta po svoji naravi podvržena stalnim spremembam, saj Skupnost sprejema vedno nova pravila in predpise. Skupnost bo zato to izjavo v skladu s členom 16(3) Protokola po potrebi dopolnila ali spremenila.

Skupnost poudarja, da ima pristojnost glede prehajanja zunanjih meja držav članic, določanja standardov in postopkov za izvajanje osebnih kontrol na teh mejah ter predpisov o vizumih, kjer predvideno bivanje ni daljše od treh mesecev.

Skupnost je prav tako pristojna za ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na politiko priseljevanja, v zvezi s pogoji vstopa in bivanja, ter za ukrepe proti nezakonitemu priseljevanju in nezakonitemu bivanju, vključno z vračanjem oseb, ki nezakonito bivajo v državi članici, v izvorno državo. Poleg tega lahko sprejema ukrepe za zagotovitev sodelovanja med ustreznimi upravnimi službami držav članic na prej omenjenih področjih ter med temi službami in Komisijo. Skupnost je na teh področjih že sprejela pravila in predpise in je torej na področjih, na katerih je sprejela ta pravila in predpise, izključno naloga Skupnosti, da sprejema zunanje zaveze nasproti tretjim državam ali pristojnim mednarodnim organizacijam.

Poleg tega politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja dopolnjuje politike držav članic ter vključuje določbe o preprečevanju in boju proti trgovini z ljudmi.

PRILOGA I

to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime

PREAMBLE

THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS PROTOCOL,

DECLARING that effective action to prevent and combat trafficking in persons, especially women and children, requires a comprehensive international approach in the countries of origin, transit and destination that includes measures to prevent such trafficking, to punish the traffickers and to protect the victims of such trafficking, including by protecting their internationally recognised human rights,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the fact that, despite the existence of a variety of international instruments containing rules and practical measures to combat the exploitation of persons, especially women and children, there is no universal instrument that addresses all aspects of trafficking in persons,

CONCERNED that, in the absence of such an instrument, persons who are vulnerable to trafficking will not be sufficiently protected,

RECALLING General Assembly resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided to establish an open-ended intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention against transnational organised crime and of discussing the elaboration of, inter alia, an international instrument addressing trafficking in women and children,

PRILOGA II

Izjava o pristojnosti Evropske skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu

Člen 16(3) Protokola o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, določa, da listina o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje vsebuje izjavo o podrobni določitvi zadev, ki jih ureja Protokol in v zvezi s katerimi so države članice te organizacije, ki so pogodbenice Protokola, prenesle svojo pristojnost na to organizacijo.

Protokol o preprečevanju, zatiranju in kaznovanju trgovine z ljudmi, predvsem ženskami in otroki, se uporablja v zvezi s pristojnostmi, prenesenimi na Evropsko skupnost, za ozemlja, na katerih se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, pod pogoji, določenimi v navedeni pogodbi, zlasti v členu 299 Pogodbe in v k tej pogodbi priloženih protokolih.

Ta izjava ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

Ta izjava prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, ki je priložen k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.

V skladu s členom 299 se ta izjava prav tako ne uporablja za ozemlja držav članic, na katerih se navedena pogodba ne uporablja, in ne posega v akte ali stališča, ki jih lahko zadevne države članice v okviru Protokola sprejmejo v imenu in v interesu teh ozemelj. Glede na zgoraj navedeno so v tej izjavi navedene pristojnosti, ki so jih države članice v zadevah, ki jih ureja Protokol, v skladu s Pogodbami prenesle na Skupnost. Obseg in izvajanje teh pristojnosti Skupnosti sta po svoji naravi podvržena stalnim spremembam, saj Skupnost sprejema vedno nova pravila in predpise. Skupnost bo zato to izjavo v skladu s členom 16(3) Protokola po potrebi dopolnila ali spremenila.

Skupnost poudarja, da ima pristojnost glede prehajanja zunanjih meja držav članic, določanja standardov in postopkov za izvajanje osebnih kontrol na teh mejah ter predpisov o vizumih, kjer predvideno bivanje ni daljše od treh mesecev.

Skupnost je prav tako pristojna za ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na politiko priseljevanja, v zvezi s pogoji vstopa in bivanja, ter za ukrepe proti nezakonitemu priseljevanju in nezakonitemu bivanju, vključno z vračanjem oseb, ki nezakonito bivajo v državi članici, v izvorno državo. Poleg tega lahko sprejema ukrepe za zagotovitev sodelovanja med ustreznimi upravnimi službami držav članic na prej omenjenih področjih ter med temi službami in Komisijo. Skupnost je na teh področjih že sprejela pravila in predpise in je torej na področjih, na katerih je sprejela ta pravila in predpise, izključno naloga Skupnosti, da sprejema zunanje zaveze nasproti tretjim državam ali pristojnim mednarodnim organizacijam.

Poleg tega politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja dopolnjuje politike držav članic ter vključuje določbe o preprečevanju in boju proti trgovini z ljudmi.
