Spremenjeni predlog

SKLEP EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETA

o vzpostavitvi posebnega programa za obdobje 2007–2013 „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“ v okviru splošnega programa „Temeljne pravice in pravosodje“

Prilagoditev na podlagi sporazuma z dne 17. maja 2006 o finančnem okviru (predložila Komisija v skladu s členom 250(2) Pogodbe ES)

OBRAZLOŽITVENI MEMORANDUM

1. Komisija je 6. aprila objavila predlog za sklep Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o vzpostavitvi posebnega programa za obdobje 2007–2013: „Boj proti nasilju (Daphne) ter preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“[1]. Ta posebni program je del okvirnega programa „Temeljne pravice in pravosodje“. Načrtovana razporeditev sredstev za celotno obdobje znaša 138,2 milijona EUR (134,4 milijona EUR za odhodke iz poslovanja in 2,8 milijona EUR za upravne odhodke).

2. Komisija na podlagi Medinstitucionalnega sporazuma o finančnem okviru za obdobje 2007–2013, podpisanega 17. maja 2006, načrtuje, da bo 24. maja sprejela spremenjena predloga v zvezi z novima finančnima instrumentoma na področju pravosodja, varnosti in svobode. Ob tej priložnosti bo Komisija prav tako napovedala sprejetje ločenih predlogov za „Daphne“ ter „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“ iz spodaj navedenih razlogov.

3. Prvotno je Komisija predstavila „Daphne“ ter „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“ v okviru skupnega programa. Razlogi so bili naslednji:

4. potreba po racionalizaciji in poenostavitvi finančnih instrumentov na področju pravosodja, varnosti in svobode z zmanjšanjem njihovega števila in povečanjem učinkovitosti;

5. neposreden vpliv dejanj nasilja in zasvojenosti z drogami na javno zdravje v vseh državah članicah; in

6. obstoj skupne pravne podlage (člen 152 Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, ki je osnova za politiko EU na področju zdravja).

7. Predstavitev ukrepov, ki se nanašajo na „Daphne“ ter „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“, v okviru skupnega programa je bila predmet kritik, ki so posledica zaskrbljenosti, da bi lahko program Daphne, v zvezi s katerim je treba poudariti pomembno vlogo pri boju proti nasilju nad ženskami in otroki, v okviru enotnega instrumenta postal manj pregleden, če bi bil združen z ukrepi, namenjenimi zasvojenosti z drogami.

Zlasti Evropski parlament[2] in tudi Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor[3] sta zahtevala združitev teh dveh ukrepov. To stališče naj bi zavzel tudi Svet.

8. Poleg tega bo združitev teh dveh ukrepov olajšala postopek hitrega odločanja.

9. Komisija je zato sklenila, da bo predložila dva ločena predloga za sklepa Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta, in sicer „Daphne“ ter „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“. Ta sprememba bo potekala brez vsebinskih sprememb, pa naj gre za pravno podlago, obrazložitveni memorandum, uvodne izjave ali člene predlogov za sklep. Ta združitev prav tako ne preprečuje iskanje najboljšega načina za zagotovitev dopolnjevanja med tema programoma in tudi z drugimi finančnimi instrumenti.

10. Z vidika finančnih sredstev pomeni razdelitev na dva programa naslednjo členitev za obdobje 2007–2013:

Program | Odhodki iz poslovanja | Upravni odhodki |

Daphne | 114,4 milijona EUR | 2,45 milijona EUR |

Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje | 21 milijonov EUR | 0,35 milijona EUR |

Spremenjeni predlog

SKLEP EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETA

o vzpostavitvi posebnega programa za obdobje 2007–2013 „Boj proti nasilju (Daphne)“ v okviru splošnega programa „Temeljne pravice in pravosodje“

EVROPSKI PARLAMENT IN SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE STA –

ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 152 Pogodbe,

ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije[4],

ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora[5],

ob upoštevanju mnenja Odbora regij[6],

v skladu s postopkom, določenim v členu 251 Pogodbe[7],

ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

11. Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti določa, da je treba pri opredeljevanju in izvajanju vseh politik in ukrepov Skupnosti zagotoviti visoko raven varovanja zdravja ljudi. V členu 3(1)(p) Pogodbe se zahteva, da dejavnosti Skupnosti vključujejo prispevek k doseganju visoke ravni varovanja zdravja.

12. Dejavnost Skupnosti bi morala dopolnjevati nacionalne politike, usmerjene k izboljševanju javnega zdravja in odpravljanju vzrokov, ki ogrožajo zdravje ljudi.

13. Fizično, spolno in psihično nasilje nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami, vključno z grožnjami s tovrstnimi dejanji, prisilo ali samovoljnim odvzemom prostosti, ki se pojavlja v javnem ali zasebnem življenju, predstavlja kršitev njihovih pravic do življenja, varnosti, svobode, dostojanstva ter telesne in čustvene celovitosti, pa tudi ogroženost za telesno in duševno zdravje žrtev takega nasilja. Učinki takega nasilja so tako razširjeni po Skupnosti, da predstavljajo resnično nevarnost za zdravje in ovirajo uživanje varnega, svobodnega in pravičnega državljanstva.

14. Glede na opredelitev Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije je zdravje stanje popolne telesne, duševne in socialne blaginje ter ne le odsotnost bolezni ali hibe. V skladu z Resolucijo Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije, sprejeto na skupščini leta 1996, je nasilje največji svetovni zdravstveni problem. Organizacija v svojem poročilu o nasilju in zdravju z dne 3. oktobra 2002 priporoča spodbujanje primarnih preventivnih ukrepov, krepitev ukrepov za žrtve nasilja ter izboljšanje sodelovanja in izmenjave informacij o preprečevanju nasilja.

15. Ta načela so priznana v številnih konvencijah, deklaracijah in protokolih pomembnih mednarodnih organizacij in institucij, kot so Združeni narodi, Mednarodna organizacija dela, Svetovna konferenca o ženskah in Svetovni kongres proti komercialnemu spolnemu izkoriščanju otrok.

16. Listina Evropske Unije o temeljnih pravicah[8] med drugim znova potrjuje pravico do dostojanstva, enakosti in solidarnosti. Listina vključuje številne posebne določbe za varovanje in spodbujanje telesne in duševne celovitosti, enako obravnavanje moških in žensk, pravic otrok in nediskriminacije, pa tudi za prepoved nečloveškega ali poniževalnega ravnanja, suženjstva in prisilnega dela ter dela otrok. Listina potrjuje, da se pri opredeljevanju in izvajanju vseh politik in ukrepov Skupnosti zagotavlja visoka raven varovanja zdravja ljudi.

17. Evropski parlament je pozval Komisijo, med drugim s svojima Resolucijama z dne 19. maja 2000 o sporočilu Komisije Svetu in Evropskemu parlamentu z naslovom „Za nadaljnje ukrepe v boju proti trgovini z ženskami“[9] in z dne 20. septembra 2001 o pohabljanju ženskih spolnih organov[10], da pripravi in izvede akcijske programe za boj proti nasilju.

18. Akcijski program iz Sklepa Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta št. 293/2000/ES z dne 24. januarja 2000 o sprejetju akcijskega programa Skupnosti (program Daphne) (2000 do 2003) o preventivnih ukrepih za boj proti nasilju nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami[11] je pripomogel k ozaveščanju v Evropski uniji ter povečal in uskladil sodelovanje med organizacijami v državah članicah, ki delujejo na področju boja proti nasilju.

19. Akcijski program iz Sklepa Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta št. 803/2004/ES z dne 21. aprila 2004 o sprejetju akcijskega programa Skupnosti (2004 do 2008) za preprečevanje nasilja nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami in boj proti njemu ter za zaščito žrtev in ogroženih skupin (program Daphne II)[12] je še naprej razvijal že dosežene rezultate programa Daphne; Komisija v skladu s členom 8(2) programa sprejme ukrepe, potrebne za zagotovitev doslednosti letnih dodeljenih proračunskih sredstev z novim finančnim okvirom.

20. Zaželeno je, da se zagotovi nadaljevanje projektov v okviru programov Daphne in Daphne II.

21. Pomembno in potrebno je zavedati se resnih takojšnjih in dolgoročnih učinkov nasilja na zdravje, psihološki in socialni razvoj ter na enake možnosti vpletenih, posameznikov, družin in skupnosti ter visokih socialnih in gospodarskih stroškov za družbo kot celoto.

22. Glede preprečevanja nasilja, vključno z zlorabljanjem in spolnim izkoriščanjem, ki se izvaja nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami, ter zaščite žrtev in ogroženih skupin lahko Evropska unija prispeva dodano vrednost ukrepom, ki jih sprejemajo pretežno države članice, in sicer z razširjanjem in izmenjavo informacij, izkušenj ter dobrih praks; spodbujanjem inovativnega pristopa; skupnim oblikovanjem prednostnih nalog; razvijanjem mrež, kadar je to ustrezno; izborom projektov na ravni celotne Skupnosti; ter spodbujanjem in udeležbo vseh zadevnih strank. Ti ukrepi bi morali vključevati tudi otroke in ženske, ki so prispele v države članice v okviru trgovanja z ljudmi.

23. Evropska federacija za pogrešane in spolno zlorabljene otroke na evropski ravni združuje različne NVO, ki obravnavajo problem izginotja in spolnega izkoriščanja otrok. Federacija ozavešča in se bojuje proti pojavu pogrešanih in spolno zlorabljenih otrok z omogočanjem lažje komunikacije med evropskimi organizacijami na podlagi učinkovitejšega pristopa, podpiranjem ustanovitve Evropskega študijskega centra za centralizacijo in analiziranje podatkov v zvezi s temi pojavi ter spodbujanjem in vodenjem dejavnosti za izboljšanje razmer mladoletnikov, žrtev izginotja in/ali spolne zlorabe ter uvedbo sprememb zakonodaje, mentalitete in obnašanja v Evropi.

24. Zaradi potrebe po izmenjavi informacij na ravni EU in razširjanja dobrih praks po vsej Skupnosti države članice ne morejo zadovoljivo doseči ciljev predlaganih ukrepov, in sicer preprečevati vse oblike nasilja nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami ter bojevati se proti temu nasilju. To se lahko bolje doseže na ravni Skupnosti. Skupnost lahko zaradi potrebe po usklajenem in interdisciplinarnem pristopu ter zaradi obsega ali vpliva pobude sprejme ukrepe v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti iz člena 5 Pogodbe. V skladu z načelom sorazmernosti iz navedenega člena ta sklep ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za dosego teh ciljev.

25. Treba je sprejeti tudi ustrezne ukrepe za preprečevanje nepravilnosti in goljufij ter izvesti potrebna dejanja za izterjavo izgubljenih, nepravilno plačanih ali nepravilno porabljenih sredstev.

26. Ta sklep določa za celotno trajanje programa finančni okvir, ki v smislu točke 37 Medinstitucionalnega sporazuma z dne 17. maja 2006 med Evropskim parlamentom, Svetom in Komisijo o proračunski disciplini in izboljšanju proračunskega postopka[13] predstavlja glavni referenčni okvir za proračunski organ.

27. Uredbo Sveta (ES, Euratom) št. 1605/2002 z dne 25. junija 2002 o finančni uredbi, ki se uporablja za splošni proračun Evropskih skupnosti[14], v nadaljnjem besedilu „finančna uredba“, in Uredbo Komisije (ES, Euratom) št. 2342/2002 z dne 23. decembra 2002 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za izvajanje Uredbe Sveta 1605/2002[15], ki ščiti finančne interese Skupnosti, je treba uporabljati ob upoštevanju načel enostavnosti in doslednosti pri izbiri proračunskih instrumentov, omejitev števila primerov, kjer je Komisija neposredno odgovorna za njihovo izvajanje in upravljanje, ter zahtevane sorazmernosti med zneskom sredstev in upravnim bremenom, povezanim z njihovo uporabo.

28. Finančna uredba zahteva, da se določi temeljni akt za pokrivanje donacij za poslovanje.

29. Ukrepe, potrebne za izvajanje tega sklepa, je treba sprejeti v skladu s Sklepom Sveta 1999/468/ES z dne 28. junija 1999 o določitvi postopkov za uresničevanje Komisiji podeljenih izvedbenih pooblastil[16] na podlagi svetovalnega postopka iz člena 3 navedenega sklepa. Ker program nima znatnega vpliva na proračun Skupnosti, je to primerno –

SKLENILA:

Člen 6 Ciljne skupine

1. Program je namenjen vsem skupinam, ki neposredno ali posredno obravnavajo nasilje.

2. Poglavitne ciljne skupine na področju boja proti nasilju so žrtve nasilja in ogrožene skupine. Druge ciljne skupine so med drugim učitelji in pedagoško osebje, policija in socialni delavci, nacionalni organi in organi lokalnih skupnosti, zdravstveno in reševalno osebje, sodno osebje, NVO, sindikati in verske skupnosti. S ciljem preprečevanja nasilja je prav tako pomembno razmišljati o programih za obravnavanje žrtev na eni strani in storilcev dejanj na drugi strani.

Člen 7 Dostop do programa

Ta program je odprt za sodelovanje javnih ali zasebnih organizacij in institucij (lokalni organi na pristojni ravni, univerzitetni oddelki in raziskovalni centri), ki delujejo na področju preprečevanja nasilja nad otroki, mladimi in ženskami ter boja proti temu nasilju ali zaščite pred njim ali zagotavljanja podpore žrtvam, izvajanja ciljnih ukrepov za spodbujanje zavračanja takega nasilja ali spodbujanja sprememb v odnosu in vedenju do ranljivih skupin in žrtev nasilja.

Donacije Skupnosti se dodelijo na podlagi pozivov k oddaji predlogov, razen v upravičenih izjemnih in nujnih primerih ali kadar lastnosti upravičenca pri posameznem ukrepu ne dopuščajo druge možnosti, in se zagotavljajo v obliki donacij za poslovanje in donacij za ukrepe. Najvišja stopnja sofinanciranja bo navedena v letnih delovnih programih.

3. Izdatki so poleg tega predvideni za spremljevalne ukrepe na podlagi pogodb o javnih naročilih, v tem primeru se nakup storitev in blaga financira iz sredstev Skupnosti. To bo med drugim krilo izdatke za obveščanje in komunikacijo, pripravo, izvajanje, spremljanje, preverjanje in vrednotenje projektov, politik, programov in zakonodaje.

Člen 9 Izvedbeni ukrepi

1. Komisija izvaja pomoč Skupnosti v skladu s Finančno uredbo Sveta (Uredba Sveta (ES/Euratom) št. 1605/2002 z dne 25. junija 2002), ki se uporablja za splošni proračun Evropskih skupnosti.

(d) vpliv pričakovanih rezultatov na splošne cilje iz člena 2 in na ukrepe iz členov 3 in 4, sprejete na različnih področjih.

5. Vloge za donacije za poslovanje iz člena 4(c) in (d) se ocenijo ob upoštevanju:

- doslednosti s cilji programa;

- kakovosti načrtovanih dejavnosti;

- verjetnega multiplikacijskega učinka teh dejavnosti v javnosti;

- geografskega vpliva dejavnosti, ki se izvajajo;

- vključenosti državljanov v organizacijo zadevnih organov;

- razmerja med stroški in koristjo predlagane dejavnosti.

6. V skladu s členom 113(2) finančne uredbe se načelo postopnega zniževanja ne uporablja za donacije za poslovanje Evropske federacije za pogrešane in spolno zlorabljene otroke, ki si prizadeva za cilj v splošnem evropskem interesu na področju pravic in zaščite otrok.

Člen 10 Odbor

1. Komisiji pomaga odbor, ki je sestavljen iz predstavnikov držav članic in mu predseduje predstavnik Komisije, v nadaljnjem besedilu „odbor“.

3. Odbor sprejme svoj poslovnik.

Člen 11 Dopolnjevanje

1. Iskale se bodo sinergije in dopolnjevanje z drugimi instrumenti Skupnosti, zlasti s splošnima programoma „Varnost in varstvo svoboščin“ ter „Solidarnost in upravljanje migracijskih tokov“, sedmim okvirnim programom za raziskave in razvoj, pa tudi s programi za varovanje zdravja in programom „Safer Internet Plus“. Statistični element obveščanja o nasilju se bo razvijal v sodelovanju z državami članicami, po potrebi z uporabo statističnega programa Skupnosti.

2. Za izvajanje ukrepov, ki izpolnjujejo cilje vseh programov, si program lahko deli sredstva z drugimi instrumenti Skupnosti, zlasti s splošnima programoma „Varnost in varstvo svoboščin“ ter „Solidarnost in upravljanje migracijskih tokov“ ter sedmim okvirnim programom za raziskave in razvoj.

3. Dejavnosti, ki se financirajo v okviru tega sklepa, ne prejemajo pomoči za isti namen na podlagi drugih finančnih instrumentov Skupnosti. Upravičenci iz tega sklepa Komisiji pošljejo informacije o sredstvih, prejetih iz proračuna Skupnosti in drugih virov, pa tudi o tekočih vlogah za sredstva.

Člen 12 Proračunska sredstva

1. Proračun za izvajanje tega instrumenta je določen v višini 116,85 milijona EUR za obdobje iz člena 1.

2. Proračunska sredstva, dodeljena za ukrepe, predvidene v tem programu, se vključijo v letna dodeljena sredstva splošnega proračuna Evropske unije. Razpoložljiva letna dodeljena proračunska sredstva odobri proračunski organ v mejah finančnega okvira.

Člen 13 Spremljanje

1. Upravičenec za kateri koli ukrep, ki se financira s programom, predloži tehnična in finančna poročila o napredovanju dela. V treh mesecih od zaključka ukrepa predloži tudi končno poročilo. Komisija določi obliko in vsebino poročil.

2. Brez poseganja v revizije, ki jih izvaja Računsko sodišče v sodelovanju s pristojnimi nacionalnimi revizijskimi organi ali službami na podlagi člena 248 Pogodbe, ali kakršen koli pregled, opravljen v skladu s členom 279(c) Pogodbe, lahko uradniki in drugi uslužbenci Komisije na kraju samem izvedejo preglede ukrepov, ki se financirajo v okviru programa, vključno s pregledi vzorcev.

3. Pogodbe in sporazumi, ki izhajajo iz tega sklepa, urejajo zlasti spremljanje in finančni nadzor s strani Komisije (ali katerega koli predstavnika, ki ga pooblasti Komisija), po potrebi na kraju samem, in revizije Računskega sodišča.

4. Upravičenec do finančne pomoči pet let po zadnjem plačilu za kateri koli ukrep hrani vso dokazno dokumentacijo o izdatkih za ukrep, tako da je na voljo Komisiji.

5. Komisija na podlagi rezultatov poročil in pregledov vzorcev iz odstavkov 1 in 2 po potrebi prilagodi obseg ali pogoje dodelitve prvotno odobrene finančne pomoči in časovni razpored plačil.

4. Če roki niso upoštevani ali če napredovanje pri izvajanju ukrepa upravičuje le del dodeljene finančne pomoči, Komisija zahteva od upravičenca, da v določenem roku predloži pripombe. Če upravičenec ne poda zadovoljivega odgovora, lahko Komisija ukine preostalo finančno pomoč in zahteva vračilo že plačanih zneskov.

5. Vsako nepravilno izplačano plačilo se vrne Komisiji. Vsem zneskom, ki niso bili pravočasno vrnjeni pod pogoji iz finančne uredbe, se prištejejo obresti.

5. CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES

5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term

The mid term and the final report on the Daphne programme (2000 – 2003) show that organisations have gained from their participation in European partnerships. Bringing associations to work together resulted in more effective programming and better use of resources.

The Daphne programme can thus be seen as successful in mobilising the civil society resulting in partnerships and alliances that are working together for more comprehensive European policies on violence.

The final report of the Daphne programme (2000 – 2003) revealed that there was some room to improvement such as the creation of a helpdesk and an increased focus on dissemination. The Daphne II programme was thus adapted to conform to the finding of that report.

As these changes to the structure of the programme are quite recent, no significant changes need to be introduced.

5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergy

The European Union added value will be achieved by:

- preparing the ground for the emergence of common strategies and legislation in this field;

- implementing EU policy objectives and their application in national policies;

- supporting the transposition of European Union legislation's and its application in a uniform way through Europe;

- promoting the co-operation and co-ordination mechanisms between Member States;

- cooperating with civil society organisations at European level.

Criteria for evaluation

A set of common evaluation criteria will be used through all specific programmes to evaluate the success of the interventions regarding the European Union added value in relation with the type of effect described above. Example of criteria could be:

- To support only activities needed at European Union level to sustain European Union objectives, European Union laws and European Union implementation mechanism;

- To support activities which will be complementary with those financed at national level;

- To reinforce national exchanges at European Union level, generating synergy effects and economies of scale;

- To involve actively Member States representatives and other relevant stakeholders in the implementation of the programme in order to maximise complementarities with existing activities.

Subsidiarity and proportionality

As far as subsidiarity is concerned the present programme focuses on areas where European added value can be demonstrated and therefore is designed to respect the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty and its accompanying Protocol.

As far as proportionality is concerned, the new programme proposal has been designed to incorporate the maximum feasible extent of simplification in terms not only of the form of the action but also in terms of the administrative and financial requirements that will apply to their implementation. The programme has been designed to strike to find the right balance between flexibility and ease of use on the one hand, and clarity of purpose and appropriate financial and procedural safeguards on the other.

Complementarity with other Community interventions

The present programme aims at contributing to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice. A complementarity with other programmes may thus be possible.

A non exhaustive list of areas of convergence can be mentioned:

- The draft of the present programme took into account the Programme on Active Citizenship and the Youth programme to ensure that no overlap situations existed. In any case, particular attention will be paid to the implementation of those programmes to avoid such situations and to coordinate the results.

- The draft of the present programme took into account the Programme for Employment and Social Security - PROGRESS to ensure that no overlap situations existed. Particular attention will be paid to the implementation of the programme to avoid such situations and to coordinate the results.

- The current proposal is complementary to some actions under the 7th framework programme. Synergies will be actively promoted whenever possible, namely as regards the application of research results.

- Special attention will be paid to the programmes implemented by in the field of Information Society, related with safe use of Internet and fighting its abuse, in particular as regards sensitive groups (e.g. children).

- The current proposal will also seek to complement the work of EU Agencies active in these policy fields, as well as with the action of other international organisations acting in the field of fight against violence.

Regular exchanges of information and active collaboration around projects under other Community programmes will take place, in order to improve and capitalise upon internal coherence, and between the Commission and other national and international authorities/organisations, to improve external coherence.

Complementarities with interventions on Freedom, Security and Justice

These interventions have a common goal of establishing an area of freedom, security and justice where basic human rights are respected. Each of the programmes is designed to address particular aspects which are a critical part of the creation of such an area in the EU, given the integration of national economies and the goal of ensuring free movement of people as well as goods, services and capital between countries. As such, they tackle issues affecting freedom, security and justice which arise from the creation of economic and monetary union and the abolition of internal borders and which can only be effectively addressed at EU level. These issues are to do with cooperation, harmonisation, coordination of activities, the exchange and sharing of critical information and best practices and techniques, and establishing solidarity mechanisms for sharing the costs involved in pursuing common and agreed objectives in an equitable way.

They are reflected in the objectives set out in The Hague Programme adopted by the European Council in November 2004, which include: guarantying fundamental human rights throughout the EU, establishing minimum procedural safeguards and common access to justice, extending the mutual recognition of judicial decisions, fighting organised cross-border crime and the threat of terrorism, ensuring protection in accordance with international treaties to those in need, and regulating migration flows and controlling the external borders of the EU. Each of the programmes is aimed at pursuing these objectives in a complementary way without duplicating activities.

The activities under the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”, therefore, are designed to further fundamental human rights and ensure a common level of access to justice across the EU, and are accordingly complementary to activities under the other two programmes which reinforce this objective. In particular, they are directly complementary to the measures, under the Solidarity programme to improve the integration of migrants into EU society as well as to establish uniform procedures for dealing with asylum-seekers and, under the Security programme, to enhance protection of witnesses and victims of crime as well as to combat the trafficking of people.

They are also complementary, if less directly, with activities under the Security programme to strengthen cooperation between police forces and law enforcement authorities as well as between bodies involved in combating the threat of terrorism. The freedom of EU citizens to enjoy their fundamental rights, therefore, is contingent on them feeling secure and being adequately protected against criminal activity or terrorist attack.

Joint management with international organisations (please specify)

Relevant comments:

In order to achieve the full objectives of the programme under the provisions of the Current Treaty, it has been decided to split into 4 legal instruments relating to 4 different legal bases. As stated in Mr. Vitorino’s Communication to the Commission (SEC(2004) 1195, 28.9.2004) the actions proposed are provided through the current Treaties. The legal bases required to establish the programmes have been limited in number as far as the current Treaties allow, while within and across the new programmes common delivery, management and implementation mechanisms are set in place.

In order to achieve the general and specific and operational objectives, each programme within the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice” envisages a range of actions, such as:

- Specific actions taken by the Commission, such as, studies and research, opinion polls and surveys, the formulation of indicators and common methodologies, collection, development and dissemination of data and statistics, seminars, conferences and experts meetings, organisation of public campaigns and events, development and maintenance of websites, preparation and dissemination of information materials, support to and animation of networks of national experts, analytical, monitoring and evaluation activities;

- Actions providing financial support for specific projects of Community interest under the conditions set out in the annual work programmes;

- Actions providing financial support for the activities of non-governmental organisations or other entities under the conditions set our in the annual work programmes;

- Operative grants to entities identified in a legal basis.

Methods of implementation:

The above mentioned type of actions may be financed either by

- A service contract following a call for tenders

- A subsidy following a call for proposals.

- Subsidies to a body pursuing an aim of general European interest, without a call for proposal.

The Commission will implement the above actions in accordance with the annual work programme to be adopted. The Commission will implement this programme and may have recourse to technical and/or administrative assistance to the mutual benefit of the Commission and of the beneficiaries, for example to finance outside expertise on a specific subject.

The Commission may decide to entrust part of the budget implementation to an executive agency, as referred to in Article 54, (2) (a) of the Financial Regulation. These agencies may be established by the Commission in conformity with the provisions of the Financial Regulation and its implementation rules as well as the Council regulation No 58/2003[18] Before its decision, the Commission shall establish a cost-benefit analysis identifying the tasks justifying outsourcing, the costs of coordination and checks, the impact on human resources, possible savings, efficiency and flexibility in the implementation of outsourced tasks, simplification of the procedures used, proximity of outsourced activities to final beneficiaries, visibility of the Community and the need to maintain an adequate level of know-how inside the Commission..

6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

6.1. Monitoring system

A comprehensive monitoring system will be set-up in order to regularly follow up the implementation of the activities carried out under each specific programme. This system should allow for the collection of information relating to the financial implementation and to the physical outputs of the programme, across the types of action and the target groups included in the programme. The information will be collected at project level - indeed, for any action financed by the programme, the beneficiary shall submit technical and financial reports on the progress of the work, as well as a final report after the completion of the action. The precise configuration of the monitoring system, as well as the type of indicators to be set-up will be the object of further study in the process leading to the implementation of the programme. Indeed, a study on delivery mechanisms and related cost-effectiveness aspects is foreseen to take place during 2005.

According to legal requirements and Commission’s evaluation policy, the programme will be evaluated at mid-term to assess its continuing relevance and draw useful lessons for the remainder of its implementation. A review of the programme may take place then, if considered necessary. A final evaluation will take place at the end of the programming period to assess the results of the programme and advise on its follow-up. These reports will be prepared under the responsibility of the Commission, and shall be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council.

6.2. Evaluation

6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluation

Cfr. Extended Impact Assessment on the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”.

6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)

Cfr. Extended Impact Assessment on the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”.

6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluation

The timetable set in the proposal is as follows:

- no later than 31 March 2011, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council an interim evaluation report on the results obtained and the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the implementation of this programme;

- no later than 30 August 2012, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a Communication on the continuation of this programme;

- no later than 31 December 2014, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council an ex post evaluation report.

7. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

The Commission shall ensure that, when actions financed under the present programme are implemented, the financial interests of the Community are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by effective checks and by the recovery of the amounts unduly paid and, if irregularities are detected, by effective, proportional and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Council Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96, and with Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

For the Community actions financed under this programme, the notion of irregularity referred to in Article 1, paragraph 2 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 shall mean any infringement of a provision of Community law or any breach of a contractual obligation resulting from an act or omission by an economic operator, which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the Communities or budgets managed by them, by an unjustifiable item of expenditure.

Contracts and agreements shall provide in particular for supervision and financial control by the Commission (or any representative authorized by it) and audits by the Court of Auditors, if necessary on-the-spot.

Spremenjeni predlog

SKLEP EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETA

o vzpostavitvi posebnega programa za obdobje 2007–2013 „Preprečevanje uporabe drog in obveščanje“ v okviru splošnega programa „Temeljne pravice in pravosodje“

EVROPSKI PARLAMENT IN SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE STA –

ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 152 Pogodbe,

ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije[19],

ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora[20],

ob upoštevanju mnenja Odbora regij[21],

v skladu s postopkom, določenim v členu 251 Pogodbe[22],

ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

(1) Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti določa, da je treba pri opredeljevanju in izvajanju vseh politik in ukrepov Skupnosti zagotoviti visoko raven varovanja zdravja ljudi. V členu 3(1)(p) Pogodbe se zahteva, da dejavnosti Skupnosti vključujejo prispevek k doseganju visoke ravni varovanja zdravja.

(2) Dejavnost Skupnosti bi morala dopolnjevati nacionalne politike, usmerjene k izboljševanju javnega zdravja, odpravljanju vzrokov, ki ogrožajo zdravje ljudi, in zmanjševanju škode za zdravje zaradi odvisnosti od drog.

(3) Ob upoštevanju raziskave, na podlagi katere stopnja razširjenosti in umrljivost zaradi odvisnosti od drog prizadeneta veliko število evropskih državljanov, je škoda za zdravje ljudi zaradi odvisnosti od drog glavni problem na področju javnega zdravja.

(4) Sporočilo Komisije Svetu in Evropskemu parlamentu o rezultatih končnega vrednotenja strategije in akcijskega načrta EU na področju drog (2000–2004)[23] je poudarilo potrebo po rednem vključevanju civilne družbe pri oblikovanju politik EU na področju drog.

(5) Sklep Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o sprejetju akcijskega programa na področju javnega zdravja (2003–2008) vključuje razvoj strategij in ukrepov na področju odvisnosti od drog kot enega od pomembnih dejavnikov zdravja, povezanih z načinom življenja.

(6) Svet je v svojem Priporočilu z dne 18. junija 2003 o preprečevanju in zmanjševanju škode za zdravje ljudi zaradi odvisnosti od drog[24] priporočil, da si države članice na področju javnega zdravja zastavijo cilj preprečevati odvisnost od drog in zmanjševati s tem povezana tveganja ter v skladu z navedenim oblikujejo in izvajajo celovite strategije.

(7) Evropski svet je decembra 2004 potrdil strategijo Evropske unije na področju drog za obdobje 2005–2012, ki zajema vse dejavnosti Evropske unije na področju drog in določa poglavitne cilje. Ti cilji vključujejo doseganje visoke ravni varovanja zdravja, blaginje in socialne kohezije s preprečevanjem in zmanjševanjem uporabe drog, odvisnosti od drog in škode za družbo in zdravje zaradi uporabe drog.

(8) Komisija je sprejela svoj akcijski načrt na področju drog za obdobje 2005–2008[25] kot odločilni instrument za uresničitev Strategije Evropske unije na področju drog 2005–2012 s konkretnimi ukrepi. Končni cilj akcijskega načrta je občutno zmanjšati razširjenost uporabe drog med prebivalstvom ter zmanjšati socialno škodo in škodo za zdravje ljudi zaradi uporabe prepovedanih drog in prometa z njimi.

(9) Pomembno in potrebno je zavedati se resnih takojšnjih in dolgoročnih učinkov drog na zdravje, psihološki in socialni razvoj ter na enake možnosti vpletenih, posameznikov, družin in skupnosti ter visokih socialnih in gospodarskih stroškov za družbo kot celoto.

(10) Evropska unija lahko prispeva dodano vrednost ukrepom držav članic na področju preprečevanja uporabe drog in obveščanja z dopolnjevanjem teh ukrepov in spodbujanjem sinergij.

(11) Zaradi potrebe po izmenjavi informacij na ravni EU in razširjanja dobrih praks po vsej Skupnosti države članice ne morejo zadovoljivo doseči ciljev predlaganih ukrepov, in sicer preprečevati uporabo drog in obveščanje. To se lahko bolje doseže na ravni Skupnosti. Skupnost lahko zaradi potrebe po usklajenem in interdisciplinarnem pristopu ter zaradi obsega ali vpliva pobude sprejme ukrepe v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti iz člena 5 Pogodbe. V skladu z načelom sorazmernosti iz navedenega člena ta sklep ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za dosego teh ciljev.

(12) Treba je sprejeti tudi ustrezne ukrepe za preprečevanje nepravilnosti in goljufij ter izvesti potrebna dejanja za izterjavo izgubljenih, nepravilno plačanih ali nepravilno porabljenih sredstev.

(13) Ta sklep določa za celotno trajanje programa finančni okvir, ki v smislu točke 37 Medinstitucionalnega sporazuma z dne 17. maja 2006 med Evropskim parlamentom, Svetom in Komisijo o proračunski disciplini in izboljšanju proračunskega postopka[26] predstavlja glavni referenčni okvir za proračunski organ.

5. CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES

5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term

The main challenges facing the Union in relation to tackling drugs over the period of the next financial framework can be defined as follows:

- information and research, including the continuation of the work of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA);

- drug demand reduction since demand feeds the growth of the drugs phenomenon: education, prevention and harm-reduction programmes;

- drug supply reduction, to stop trafficking and drug-related criminality, in particular as concerns new synthetic drugs and their chemical precursors, as well as combating money-laundering;

- enhanced cooperation with third countries concerning drug abuse control and drug demand reduction.

- further legislative activity will be needed in line with new and developing forms of drugs, for example to bring new forms of drugs under established control mechanisms.

5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergy

The European Union added value will be achieved by:

- preparing the ground for the emergence of common strategies and legislation in this field;

- implementing EU policy objectives and their application in national policies;

- supporting the transposition of European Union legislation's and its application in a uniform way through Europe;

- promoting the co-operation and co-ordination mechanisms between Member States;

- cooperating with civil society organisations at European level.

Criteria for evaluation

A set of common evaluation criteria will be used through all specific programmes to evaluate the success of the interventions regarding the European Union added value in relation with the type of effect described above. Example of criteria could be:

- To support only activities needed at European Union level to sustain European Union objectives, European Union laws and European Union implementation mechanism;

- To support activities which will be complementary with those financed at national level;

- To reinforce national exchanges at European Union level, generating synergy effects and economies of scale;

- To involve actively Member States representatives and other relevant stakeholders in the implementation of the programme in order to maximise complementarities with existing activities.

Subsidiarity and proportionality

As far as subsidiarity is concerned the present programme focuses on areas where European added value can be demonstrated and therefore is designed to respect the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty and its accompanying Protocol.

As far as proportionality is concerned, the new programme proposal has been designed to incorporate the maximum feasible extent of simplification in terms not only of the form of the action but also in terms of the administrative and financial requirements that will apply to their implementation. The programme has been designed to strike to find the right balance between flexibility and ease of use on the one hand, and clarity of purpose and appropriate financial and procedural safeguards on the other.

Complementarity with other Community interventions

The present programme aims at contributing to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice. A complementarity with other programmes may thus be possible.

A non exhaustive list of areas of convergence can be mentioned:

- The draft of the present programme took into account the Programme on Active Citizenship and the Youth programme to ensure that no overlap situations existed. In any case, particular attention will be paid to the implementation of those programmes to avoid such situations and to coordinate the results.

- The draft of the present programme took into account the Programme for Employment and Social Security - PROGRESS to ensure that no overlap situations existed. Particular attention will be paid to the implementation of the programme to avoid such situations and to coordinate the results.

- The current proposal is complementary to some actions under the 7th framework programme. Synergies will be actively promoted whenever possible, namely as regards the application of research results.

- Special attention will be paid to the programmes implemented by in the field of Information Society, related with safe use of Internet and fighting its abuse, in particular as regards sensitive groups (e.g. children).

- The current proposal will also seek to complement the work of EU Agencies active in these policy fields, as well as with the action of other international organisations acting in the field of drugs action.

Regular exchanges of information and active collaboration around projects under other Community programmes will take place, in order to improve and capitalise upon internal coherence, and between the Commission and other national and international authorities/organisations, to improve external coherence.

Complementarities with interventions on Freedom, Security and Justice

These interventions have a common goal of establishing an area of freedom, security and justice where basic human rights are respected. Each of the programmes is designed to address particular aspects which are a critical part of the creation of such an area in the EU, given the integration of national economies and the goal of ensuring free movement of people as well as goods, services and capital between countries. As such, they tackle issues affecting freedom, security and justice which arise from the creation of economic and monetary union and the abolition of internal borders and which can only be effectively addressed at EU level. These issues are to do with cooperation, harmonisation, coordination of activities, the exchange and sharing of critical information and best practices and techniques, and establishing solidarity mechanisms for sharing the costs involved in pursuing common and agreed objectives in an equitable way.

They are reflected in the objectives set out in The Hague Programme adopted by the European Council in November 2004, which include: guarantying fundamental human rights throughout the EU, establishing minimum procedural safeguards and common access to justice, extending the mutual recognition of judicial decisions, fighting organised cross-border crime and the threat of terrorism, ensuring protection in accordance with international treaties to those in need, and regulating migration flows and controlling the external borders of the EU. Each of the programmes is aimed at pursuing these objectives in a complementary way without duplicating activities.

The activities under the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”, therefore, are designed to further fundamental human rights and ensure a common level of access to justice across the EU, and are accordingly complementary to activities under the other two programmes which reinforce this objective. In particular, they are directly complementary to the measures, under the Solidarity programme to improve the integration of migrants into EU society as well as to establish uniform procedures for dealing with asylum-seekers and, under the Security programme, to enhance protection of witnesses and victims of crime as well as to combat the trafficking of people.

They are also complementary, if less directly, with activities under the Security programme to strengthen cooperation between police forces and law enforcement authorities as well as between bodies involved in combating the threat of terrorism. The freedom of EU citizens to enjoy their fundamental rights, therefore, is contingent on them feeling secure and being adequately protected against criminal activity or terrorist attack.

5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM framework

Relevant comments:

In order to achieve the full objectives of the programme under the provisions of the Current Treaty, it has been decided to split into 4 legal instruments relating to 4 different legal bases. As stated in Mr. Vitorino’s Communication to the Commission (SEC(2004) 1195, 28.9.2004) the actions proposed are provided through the current Treaties. The legal bases required to establish the programmes have been limited in number as far as the current Treaties allow, while within and across the new programmes common delivery, management and implementation mechanisms are set in place.

In order to achieve the general and specific and operational objectives, each programme within the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice” envisages a range of actions, such as:

- Specific actions taken by the Commission, such as, studies and research, opinion polls and surveys, the formulation of indicators and common methodologies, collection, development and dissemination of data and statistics, seminars, conferences and experts meetings, organisation of public campaigns and events, development and maintenance of websites, preparation and dissemination of information materials, support to and animation of networks of national experts, analytical, monitoring and evaluation activities;

- Actions providing financial support for specific projects of Community interest under the conditions set out in the annual work programmes;

- Actions providing financial support for the activities of non-governmental organisations or other entities under the conditions set our in the annual work programmes;

- Operative grants to entities identified in a legal basis.

Methods of implementation:

The above mentioned type of actions may be financed either by

- A service contract following a call for tenders

- A subsidy following a call for proposals.

- Subsidies to a body pursuing an aim of general European interest, without a call for proposal.

The Commission will implement the above actions in accordance with the annual work programme to be adopted. The Commission will implement this programme and may have recourse to technical and/or administrative assistance to the mutual benefit of the Commission and of the beneficiaries, for example to finance outside expertise on a specific subject.

The Commission may decide to entrust part of the budget implementation to an executive agency, as referred to in Article 54, (2) (a) of the Financial Regulation. These agencies may be established by the Commission in conformity with the provisions of the Financial Regulation and its implementation rules as well as the Council regulation No 58/2003[31] Before its decision, the Commission shall establish a cost-benefit analysis identifying the tasks justifying outsourcing, the costs of coordination and checks, the impact on human resources, possible savings, efficiency and flexibility in the implementation of outsourced tasks, simplification of the procedures used, proximity of outsourced activities to final beneficiaries, visibility of the Community and the need to maintain an adequate level of know-how inside the Commission.

6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

6.1. Monitoring system

A comprehensive monitoring system will be set-up in order to regularly follow up the implementation of the activities carried out under each specific programme. This system should allow for the collection of information relating to the financial implementation and to the physical outputs of the programme, across the types of action and the target groups included in the programme. The information will be collected at project level - indeed, for any action financed by the programme, the beneficiary shall submit technical and financial reports on the progress of the work, as well as a final report after the completion of the action. The precise configuration of the monitoring system, as well as the type of indicators to be set-up will be the object of further study in the process leading to the implementation of the programme. Indeed, a study on delivery mechanisms and related cost-effectiveness aspects is foreseen to take place during 2005.

According to legal requirements and Commission’s evaluation policy, the programme will be evaluated at mid-term to assess its continuing relevance and draw useful lessons for the remainder of its implementation. A review of the programme may take place then, if considered necessary. A final evaluation will take place at the end of the programming period to assess the results of the programme and advise on its follow-up. These reports will be prepared under the responsibility of the Commission, and shall be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council.

6.2. Evaluation

6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluation

Cfr. Extended Impact Assessment on the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”.

6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)

Cfr. Extended Impact Assessment on the programme “Fundamental Rights and Justice”.

6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluation

The timetable set in the proposal is as follows:

7. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

The Commission shall ensure that, when actions financed under the present programme are implemented, the financial interests of the Community are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by effective checks and by the recovery of the amounts unduly paid and, if irregularities are detected, by effective, proportional and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Council Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96, and with Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
