o návrhu nařízení Evropského parlamentu a Rady, kterým se stanoví obecná pravidla pro poskytování finanční pomoci Společenství v oblasti transevropských dopravních a energetických sítí a kterým se mění nařízení Rady (ES) č. 2236/95
on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council determining the general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of the trans-european transport networks and energy and amending Council Regulation (EC) n° 2236/95
Stručné oDŮVODNĚNÍ
SHORT JUSTIFICATION
Transevropské sítě významnou měrou přispívají k plnění lisabonských cílů konkurenceschopnosti evropského hospodářství a udržitelného rozvoje v Evropě.
The Trans-European networks make an important contribution to meeting the Lisbon objectives of competitiveness of the European economy and sustainable development in Europe.
V oblasti energetiky plní transevropské energetické sítě (TEN–Energie) při liberalizaci evropského vnitřního trhu s energií důležitý úkol.
In the energy sector the Trans-European energy networks (TEN-E) fulfil an important task in the liberalisation of the European single market in energy.
Hrají významnou úlohu i ve smyslu zajištění zásobování napojením EU na potenciální dodavatele energie v mimoevropských oblastech.
They also play a significant role in security of supply by linking the EU to potential energy suppliers in regions outside Europe.
Předložený návrh nařízení Komise obsahuje základní pravidla poskytování finanční pomoci Společenství v oblasti transevropských dopravních a energetických sítí.
The Commission's proposed regulation determines the general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of the trans-European transport and energy networks.
Toto stanovisko se omezuje na oblast energetiky a zabývá se také výší prostředků, které mají být v rozpočtu EU vyčleněny na TEN–Energie.
This opinion will confine itself to the field of energy, and will also consider the level of the appropriations to be set aside for TEN-E in the EU budget.
Výchozím bodem úvah navrhovatele je zjištění, že oproti transevropským dopravním sítím (TEN–Doprava) nepředstavují energetické sítě veřejnou infrastrukturu, nýbrž infrastrukturu, kterou vlastní soukromé podniky.
Your draftsman's considerations start from the observation that, unlike the Trans-European transport networks (TEN-T), the energy networks are not a public infrastructure but an infrastructure in the ownership of private businesses.
Z tohoto důvodu je podle navrhovatele správné, že rozpočet vyčleněný na TEN–Energie představuje pouze zlomek rozpočtu na TEN–Doprava (podle návrhu Komise se jedná o 20 690 milionů EUR na dopravu a 340 milionů EUR na energetiku).
For this reason your draftsman considers it quite proper that the budget set aside for TEN-E should be only a fraction of that for TEN-T (under the Commission proposal, EUR 20 690 million for transport and EUR 340 million for energy).
Podle odhadů Komise je v nadcházejících letech jen pro prioritní projekty nutné investovat do evropských energetických sítí prostředky ve výši minimálně 28 miliard EUR.
The Commission estimates that investments to the tune of at least EUR 28 billion need to be made in TEN-E over the next few years for priority projects alone.
Viděno realisticky, Společenství k tomu může přispět pouze zajištěním podpory spolupráce, poukázáním na alternativy a vytvořením pobídek pro soukromé investice.
Realistically, the only contribution the Community can make to this is by ensuring that co-operation is encouraged, alternatives pointed out and incentives to private investment created.
V minulosti se ukázalo užitečným podporovat či financovat šířeji pojaté studie („opatření nezbytná pro definici projektu“).
In the past, it has proved helpful to subsidise or finance studies in the wider sense ("measures necessary for the definition of a project").
Komise nyní vedle financování studií také navrhuje umožnit podporování výstavby úseků sítí a uplatnění dalších forem podpory, jako jsou úrokové příspěvky, záruky na úvěr nebo účast ve fondech rizikového kapitálu.
In addition to the funding of studies, the Commission now also proposes making it possible to subsidise the construction of network sections, and to employ other forms of subsidy such as interest rate rebates, loan guarantees or participation in risk capital funds.
To navrhovatel odmítá ze dvou důvodů: za prvé proto, že podpora může vést k narušení hospodářské soutěže na trhu energie, a za druhé proto, že rozpočet vyčleněný Evropskou unií na TEN–Energie je tak malý, že nikdy nemůže být zásadním faktorem v investičním rozhodnutí podniků, které se o podporu ucházejí, a mohl by být pouze přítěží.
Your draftsman rejects these for two reasons: firstly because subsidy risks leading to distortions of competition on the energy market; and secondly because the budget earmarked for TEN-E by the European Union is so small that it could never be a crucial factor in an investment decision for firms applying for subsidy, and could only have a deadweight effect.
(Podpora TEN–Energie činila v posledním programovém období zpravidla méně než 1 % celkových investičních nákladů na projekty.)
(During the last programming period the TEN-E subsidy generally accounted for less than 1% of total investment costs for projects).
Je tudíž smysluplnější soustředit se na financování toho, čeho by Společenství mohlo a skutečně může dosáhnout, čili na shromažďování odborných posudků z celé Evropy týkajících se nutného propojení sítí.
It therefore makes more sense to concentrate on the funding of what the Community should and actually can achieve, namely gathering expert opinions from all over Europe on the necessary network connections.
Komise ve svém návrhu také navrhuje zvýšení rozpočtu pro TEN–Energie.
In its proposal the Commission also suggests increasing the budget for TEN-E.
Důvody, které uvádí, jsou předně úpravy související s rozšířením Unie a dále návrh od nynějška financovat i stavební projekty.
The reasons it gives are, firstly, adjustments following the enlargement of the Union and secondly, the proposal that construction projects should now also be financed.
Vzhledem k tomu, že v současném programovém období byly již financovány tři stavební projekty energetických sítí a že podle názoru navrhovatele tato forma pomoci by neměla být v budoucnu již povolena, navrhovatel navrhuje, aby rozpočet pro TEN–Energie v nadcházejícím programovém období nebyl v porovnání se současnou průměrnou roční finanční pomocí Společenství ve výši 22 milionů EUR zvyšován.
Given that three energy network construction projects have already been financed during the current programming period, and that, in your draftsman's opinion, this kind of subsidy should not be permitted in future, your draftsman therefore proposes that the budget for TEN-E should not be raised from the current average annual Community subsidy of EUR 22 million.
Finanční prostředky, které již byly v současném období do stavebních projektů investovány, by měly být v budoucnu považovány za příspěvek na začlenění nových členských států do programu.
The funds which have already been invested in building projects in the current period should in future be regarded as a contribution to the integration of the new Member States into the programme.
Navrhovatel také předkládá pozměňovací návrhy souvisejí s postupem ve výborech.
Your draftsman also makes amendments regarding the comitology procedure.
V současném programovém období byl Komisi nápomocen regulativní výbor podle článku 5 rozhodnutí Rady 1999/468/ES.
In the current programming period the Commission has been assisted by a regulatory committee pursuant to Article 5 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC.
Při tom uplatňovaný regulativní postup zaručuje minimální účast Evropského parlamentu na přijímání opatření Komise k provádění nařízení.
The regulatory procedure under that article guarantees a minimum participation for the European Parliament in the Commission’s adoption of measures to implement the regulation.
Poradní výbor podle článku 3 rozhodnutí 1999/468/ES však ponechává Parlament zcela stranou.
The advisory committee pursuant to Article 3 of Decision 1999/468/EC, however, leaves the European Parliament out of the picture altogether.
Jelikož opatření k provádění tohoto nařízení nejsou čistě technické povahy, nýbrž souvisejí s politickými rozhodnutími, měl by být regulativní postup zachován i v novém programovém období.
Since the measures implementing this regulation are not purely technical in nature but also relate to political decisions, the regulatory procedure should be retained in the new programming period.
Navrhovatel konečně provádí několik formálních změn nařízení, aby bralo v potaz současný stav právních předpisů EU a právní základy diskutované v současné době.
Finally, your draftsman makes a few formal adjustments to the Regulation to take account of the current state of EU legislation and of legal bases currently under discussion.
Např. rozhodnutí Evropského parlamentu a Rady, které stanoví hlavní směry pro transevropské energetické sítě, které je v současné době v Parlamentu projednáváno v prvním čtení, je v přímé souvislosti s tímto nařízením.
For example the European Parliament and Council decision laying down guidelines for Trans-European energy networks, currently being debated at first reading in the European Parliament, is directly linked to this regulation.
Je tudíž nutné právní odkazy aktualizovat.
It is therefore necessary to update the legal references.
Navrhovatel také navrhuje odstranit duplikaci v rozhodnutí a nařízení a zaměřit nařízení výhradně na finanční aspekty.
Your draftsman also proposes to eliminate duplication between the decision and the regulation, concentrating in the regulation exclusively on the financial aspects.
Výbor pro průmysl, výzkum a energetiku vyzývá Rozpočtový výbor jako příslušný výbor, aby do své zprávy začlenil tyto pozměňovací návrhy:
