- концепцията за ППР все още не е включена в достатъчна степен в процесите на вземане на решения,
- the concept of PCD has not yet been sufficiently mainstreamed into decision-making processes,
- въпреки своите усилия ЕС все още е на ранен етап от развитието на ефективна концепция за ППР,
- the EU is - despite its efforts - still at an early stage of the development of an effective PCD concept,
- основната пречка пред повишаването на последователността на политиките са политическият приоритет и конфликтите на интереси сред държавите-членки и между развиващите се страни,
- the main obstacle to enhanced policy coherence are political priority and conflicts of interest among the Member States and between developing countries,
- все още липсват осведоменост и познания относно ППР, както и необходимостта да се гарантира непрекъсната политическа ангажираност на високо равнище,
- there is still a lack of awareness and knowledge about PCD and the need to ensure continuous high-level political engagement,
- предвид факта, че рибарството е важен стопански отрасъл в крайбрежните страни, то може да има важна роля за гарантиране на продоволствена сигурност,
- given that fisheries are an important economic sector in coastal countries, they can play an important role in ensuring food security,
Д. като има предвид, че заключенията от Европейския съвет през май 2005 г. съдържат ангажимента за повишаване на последователността на политиките на ЕС за развитие, по-специално в дванадесет приоритетни политически области, в това число търговията, рибното стопанство, околната среда, изменението на климата, миграцията и заетостта,
E. whereas the conclusions of the May 2005 European Council contain the commitment to enhance the EU’s Policy Coherence for Development, in particular in twelve priority policy areas, including trade, fisheries, environment, climate change, migration and employment,
Е. като има предвид, че двата най-важни биологични природни ресурса, експлоатирани от Европейския съюз в Западна Африка, са риба и дървен материал, като според ГД „Търговия” на Комисията повече от 80% от рибата и дървения материал, изнасяни от Икономическата общност на западноафриканските държави (ECOWAS), са предназначени за ЕС,
F. whereas the two most important biological natural resources exploited by the European Union in West Africa are fish and timber as, according to the Commission’s Directorate General for Trade, more than 80% of the fish and timber exported by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) goes to the European Union,
Ж. като има предвид, че ООН определя Западна Африка като най-западния регион на Африка, включващ следните 16 държави: Бенин, Буркина Фасо, Кабо Верде, Бряг на слоновата кост, Гамбия, Гана, Гвинея, Гвинея-Бисау, Либерия, Мали, Мавритания, Нигер, Нигерия, Сенегал, Сиера Леоне, Того (което ще рече Икономическата общност на западноафриканските държави плюс Мавритания)
G. Whereas the UN defines West Africa as the westernmost region of Africa comprising the following 16 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cap Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo (that is to say ECOWAS plus Mauritania),

6. изразява загриженост относно факта, че изсичането на тропическите гори е една от движещите сили на изменението на климата, като то причинява ежегодно около 20% от всички емисии на парникови газове в резултат на човешка дейност и унищожава прехраната на милиони местни и коренни общности;
Is concerned that tropical deforestation is one of the drivers of climate change, responsible for about 20 % of the total human-caused greenhouse gas emissions each year, and destroying the livelihoods of millions of local and indigenous communities;
20. счита, че рибните ресурси в Западна Африка представляват значителен потенциал за местното развитие и принос към продоволствената сигурност; отбелязва със загриженост, че в съответствие с последните научни оценки, извършени от Комитета по риболова в източноцентралната част на Атлантическия океан през 2006 г., голяма част от наличните рибни запаси в Западна Африка са свръхексплоатирани и поне един от тях е застрашен от изчезване;
Considers that fisheries resources in West Africa represent a significant potential for local development and contribution to food security; notes with concern that according to the most recent scientific assessments by the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic from 2006, many stocks in West Africa are over-exploited and at least one is at risk of extinction;
- проследяването, контрола и надзора на крайбрежните води на Западна Африка и приноса на ЕС за борбата срещу незаконния, недеклариран и нерегулиран риболов;
- the monitoring, control and surveillance of the waters off West Africa and EU contributions to the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing;
- подкрепата за научните изследвания, свързани с наличните рибни запаси и структурата на екосистемата;
- support for scientific research into fish stocks and the structure of the ecosystem;
- износа и смяната на флага на плавателни съдове на ЕС, пътуващи за Западна Африка;
- the export and re-flagging of EU vessels to West Africa;
- фитосанитарните стандарти за вноса на риба и други нетарифни пречки пред търговията;
- phyto-sanitary standards for the importation of fish and other non-tariff barriers to trade;
- пазарната политика на ЕС и вида и количеството риба, внасяна от Западна Африка;
- EU market policy and the type and quantity of fish imported from West Africa;
– периодичното оценяване на рибните ресурси чрез провеждани с океанографски кораби изследвания, в които участват изследователи от Общността и изследователи от съответната трета държава, за проучване на наличните рибни ресурси във всяка една от изключителните икономически зони на държавите, с които са подписани споразумения за партньорство в областта на рибарството;
– regular assessment of fishery resources through research campaigns carried out using oceanographic vessels with Community researchers and researchers from the third country concerned, covering the fishery resources available in each of the EEZs of countries with which fisheries partnership agreements have been signed;
– подобряването на наземната инфраструктура – както на пристанищната, така и на свързаната със снабдяването с хранителни припаси, а също и на транспортната инфраструктура, с цел улесняване влизането както на кораби от Общността, така и на кораби от други страни за ремонт, разтоварване, прехвърляне на товари и т.н., което ще донесе допълнителни ползи за третите държави;
– improved infrastructure on land, both port infrastructure and infrastructure for supplies and transport, in order to facilitate the entry of vessels from the Community and from other countries for repair, disembarkation, transhipment, etc, which will offer additional benefits for third countries;
– привеждането в съответствие на хигиенно-санитарните норми, тъй като в по-голямата част от тези страни съществуват сериозни недостатъци в тази област, което в някои случаи дори им пречи да се възползват от преференциалния достъп до пазара на Общността, с който изнасяните от тях стоки могат да разполагат;
– adaptation of hygiene and health rules, since most of these countries have serious shortcomings in this area which in some cases prevent them from benefiting from the preferential access to the Community market that their exports could enjoy;
– службите за контрол и наблюдение, тъй като тези страни не разполагат с необходимите технически и човешки ресурси за извършване на тези дейности, чрез създаване на центрове за контрол, подготовка на инспектори или придобиване на патрулни кораби и въздухоплавателни средства;
– monitoring and surveillance services, since these countries lack the necessary technical and human resources to carry out these tasks, by setting up monitoring centres, training inspectors or acquiring patrol vessels and airborne resources;
– създаването на правна рамка, която да гарантира защитата на настоящите и потенциалните инвестиции на Общността, произтичащи главно от създаването на смесени дружества, които в момента се сблъскват с множество пречки пред инвестирането в третата държава, основно поради загубата на контрол върху предприятията и правната несигурност в почти всички държави от региона; подобни смесени предприятия следва да не водят до прекомерен риболовен капацитет нито на местно, нито на регионално равнище;
– creation of a legal framework that will guarantee protection for current and potential Community investment stemming chiefly from the creation of joint ventures, which presently encounter too many obstacles to investment in the third country, mainly owing to the loss of control over the business and legal uncertainty in almost all countries in the region; such joint ventures should not result in excess fishing capacity either at local or at regional level;
– въвеждането на планове за устойчиво управление на риболова, които ще регулират дейностите на местните сектори, като се ограничи общоприетата, но биологично неустойчива практика на свободния достъп;
– introduction of sustainable fisheries management plans that will regulate the activities of local sectors, restricting the widespread and biologically unsustainable practice of free access;
- извършване на надеждна оценка на наличието на съответните рибни запаси преди започване на риболовните дейности и на редовни интервали след това;
- conduct a reliable assessment of the abundance of relevant fish stocks prior to the commencement of fishing operations and at regular intervals thereafter;
- ако рибните запаси в Африка са изчерпани, предприемане на първи стъпки за намаляване на количеството уловена риба от кораби на Европейския съюз и други чуждестранни кораби;
- if African fish stocks are depleted, the European Union and other foreign vessels need to take the first steps to reduce the amount of fish caught;
- създаване на дългосрочни програми за извършване на научни оценки на състоянието и тенденциите в количествата на рибните запаси и тяхната връзка с околната среда, както и отражението на риболова върху тях; също така подпомагане на възможностите за научноизследователска дейност в Западна Африка,
- create long-term programmes to conduct scientific assessments of the status and trends in abundance of fish stocks and their ecological relationships, as well as the impact of fishing on them; and support West African research capacities,
- изготвяне на точни, надеждни и своевременни публични доклади относно улова и дейностите на корабите на Европейския съюз, извършвани в трети държави;
- make accurate, reliable and timely public reporting on catches and activities of European Union vessels operating in third countries;
- предоставяне на помощи за създаване на референтни лаборатории, които да им позволят по-лесно да изпълняват фитосанитарните изисквания за износ в Европейския съюз;
- provide aid to develop reference laboratories to enable them to more easily fulfil the phyto-sanitary requirements for export to the European Union;
- създаване, съвместно с партньорите на Европейския съюз в Западна Африка, на програма за борба с незаконния, недеклариран и нерегулиран риболов, включваща план за регионално наблюдение в съответствие със споразумението, сключено с Комисията за опазване на Индийския океан; както и подпомагане капацитета на Западна Африка за ефективен контрол и наблюдение на риболовните дейности, осъществявани както от национални, така и от чуждестранни кораби;
- establish, together with the European Union’s West African partners, a programme to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, including a regional surveillance plan along the lines of the agreement concluded with the Indian Ocean Commission; and support West African capacities for effective control and surveillance of fishing activities by both domestic and foreign vessels;
- консултации за местните общности относно условията на споразуменията;
- consult local communities about the terms of the agreements;
- предприемане на мерки за гарантиране, че местните рибари и флоти имат приоритетен достъп до рибните запаси;
- take measures to ascertain that local fishermen and fleets have priority access to fish stocks;
- съставяне на дългосрочни програми, които да увеличават добавената стойност за местната преработвателна промишленост, като се даде възможност за местно обработване на рибата, уловена по тези места, преди да бъде изнесена за Европейския съюз;
- set up long-term programmes that increase added value for the local processing industries by allowing for locally caught fish to be processed locally and subsequently exported to the European Union;
- реформиране и приспособяване на наличната система от правила за произход, за да бъдат отразени местните обстоятелства и действителност;
- reform and adjust the current system of rules of origin so as to reflect local circumstances and realities;
- провежда по принцип все по-подробни Оценки на въздействието върху устойчивото развитие;
- generally conduct more and more detailed SIAs;
- включва по-задълбочено въпроси, свързани с ППР, в Оценките на въздействието върху устойчивото развитие;
- mainstream PCD questions more thoroughly into the SIAs;
- поръча две Оценки на въздействието върху устойчивото развитие за Споразумението за икономическо партньорство със Западна Африка, като се съсредоточи вниманието по-специално върху ППР в сектора на рибарството и в сектора на дърводобива, в това число оценка на въздействието върху местните и коренните общности;
- commission two SIAs for the EPA in West Africa with a special focus on PCD in the fish and timber sectors, including an assessment of the impact on local and indigenous communities;
