On 13 January 2005, the European Parliament noted "the Commission's intention of providing for additional financial assistance of up to EUR 350 million for rehabilitation and reconstruction aid to help in the relief efforts following the Asian tsunami disaster" (European Parliament resolution on the recent tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean, P6_TA(2005)0006 of 13.01.2005, paragraph 16).

The Commission proposes in its Preliminary Draft Amending Budget 3/2005 , which is linked to the Proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument in favour of the rehabilitation and reconstruction assistance to Tsunami affected countries according to point 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 to commit the whole amount foreseen for the tsunami related assistance in 2005 and 2006. € 207 million shall be provided for Indonesia, € 99 million for Sri Lanka, € 17 million for the Maldives, € 15 million for the regional programme Asia ProEco II B and € 12 million for a regional and horizontal facility. € 170 million are foreseen in 2005 and € 180 million in 2006.

The Commission proposes that in 2005 the Rapid Reaction Mechanism is used for an amount of € 12 million, that existing programmes under the Asia budget lines are "re-ordered" for an amount of € 60 million and € 98 million are provided by the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument.

Given the constraints on the development budget, and the multiplicity of useful - and already planned and programmed - projects and programmes also in the Asian developing countries, it can not be accepted to make cuts in order to reduce existing development assistance in order to transfer the money to posts where it may not be used in 2005.

Considering the high amounts donated and pledged and difficulties in implementation on the ground, it seems reasonable to spread the commitment of € 350 million over three years, instead of two years as proposed by the Commission.

Výbor pro rozvoj vyzývá Rozpočtový výbor jako příslušný výbor, aby do své zprávy začlenil tyto návrhy:
The Committee on Development calls on the Committee on Budgets, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
Rozpočtový orgán souhlasil s finanční podporou na obnovu a přestavbu zemí postižených zemětřesením a vlnou tsunami (zejména Indonésie, Srí Lanka a Maledivy) v letech 2005 a 2006 v celkové částce 350 milionů EUR, z toho 170 milionů EUR v roce 2005 a 180 milionů EUR v roce 2006 .
The Budget Authority has agreed to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction needs in the earthquake/Tsunami affected countries (mainly Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives) during 2005 and 2006, for a total amount of EUR 350 million , of which EUR 170 million in 2005 and EUR 180 million in 2006 .
Část potřebných prostředků na rok 2005 v objemu 60 milionů EUR je možné po dohodě s vládami dotčených zemí získat novým vymezením orientačních a s konečnou platností ještě nestanovených programů pro tento region a uplatněním mechanismu rychlé reakce (12 milionů EUR) .
For 2005, part of the required response will be delivered by redefining indicative and not yet committed programmes for the region in agreement with the governments concerned (EUR 60 million) and by recourse to the Rapid Reaction Mechanism ( EUR 12 million ).
Jelikož výše limitu položky 4: „Vnější vztahy“ pro rok 2005 již byla překročena o 100 milionů EUR a všechny možnosti případného přeřazení v rámci této položky byly přezkoumány, může být zbývající část ( 98 milionů EUR ) financována pouze dodatečným použitím nástroje pro flexibilitu.
Since the ceiling for Heading 4: "External actions" is already exceeded by EUR 100 million in 2005, and all possibilities for re-allocating appropriations under this heading have been examined, the remaining part (EUR 98 million) can only be financed by an additional deployment of the flexibility instrument.

STANOVISKO VÝBORU PRO ZAHRANIČNÍ VĚCI
OPINION of the Committee on FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Janusz Lewandowski
Mr Janusz Lewandowski
Předseda Rozpočtového výboru
President of the Committee on Budgets
Vážený pane kolego,
Dear colleague,
Výbor pro zahraniční věci na své schůzi dne 21. června v přítomnosti generálního zpravodaje pro rok 2006, pana Gianniho Pittelly, projednal návrhy rozpočetu na rok 2006 předložené Komisí.
At its meeting of 21 June the Committee on Foreign Affairs considered, in the presence of the General Rapporteur for 2006, Mr Gianni Pittella, the proposals submitted by the Commission for the 2006 Budget.
Při této příležitosti se paní Véronique de Keyser, navrhovatelka pro rozpočet Výboru pro zahraniční záležitosti, dotazovala Komise na plánovanou pomoc při obnově zemí postižených tsunami.
On this occasion Mrs Véronique de Keyser, budget draftsperson for the Committee on Foreign Affairs, questioned the Commission about the assistance planned for the reconstruction of the countries hit by the Tsunami.
Výbor byl informován, že pomoc na obnovu se plánuje na dva roky – 2005 a 2006 – a že bude financována částečně z nových prostředků (krytých nástrojem pro flexibilitu a do určité míry v rámci limitu položky 4) a částečně přesměrováním stávajících prostředků.
The committee heard that reconstruction assistance is planned over two years - 2005 and 2006 respectively - and would be financed partly with new funds (covered by the flexibility instrument and, to some extent, by the margin under heading 4) and partly by reprogramming existing funds.
Výbor vzal na vědomí, že programy, na něž bude toto přesměrování mít dopad v roce 2005, jsou část s názvem China window programu Erasmus Mundus (tj. prostředky vyhrazené pro asijské studenty) (30 milionů), část prostředků vyčleněných pro program Asia-Wide Pro-Eco (tj. partnerství EU a Asie v oblasti ochrany životního prostředí) (15 milionů), rozvoj venkova, civilního letectví a programů přestavby na Srí Lance (13 milionů) a část programu UNDP obnovy základních životních podmínek pro Maledivy (3 miliony).
The committee took note that the programmes which would be affected by such reprogramming in 2005 were the part of the China window of Erasmus Mundus (30 million), part of the resources earmarked for the Asia-Wide Pro-Eco Programme (15 million), rural development, civil aviation and reconstruction programmes in Sri Lanka (13 million) and part of the UNDP-managed Livelihoods Programme for the Maldives (3 million).
Pro rok 2006 bude část prostředků určených na vzdělávací programy v Indonésii (30 milionů) přesměrována s cílem zajistit nutný limit položky .
For 2006, part of the resources allocated to an education programme in Indonesia (30 million) would be reprogrammed to ensure the necessary margin.
Pokud jde o absorpční kapacitu těchto tří zemí, Komise sdělila, že již byly v Indonésii a na Maledivách zřízeny svěřenecké fondy, což usnadní rychlé využití dostupných finanční zdrojů, zatímco vyjednávání mezi vládou a povstaleckými silami s cílem dosáhnout podobných opatření na Srí Lance stále pokračují.
As for the absorption capacity of the three countries concerned, the Commission reported that trust funds had already been set up in Indonesia and the Maldives, which would facilitate the rapid use of the financial resources made available, whilst negotiations between the government and rebel forces were still ongoing in view of similar arrangements in Sri Lanka.
Komise nás nicméně ujistila o tom, že pokud by k takové dohodě nedošlo, bude pomoc na obnovu, včetně rozsáhlého projektu obnovy silnic, řízena přímo delegací na Srí Lance.
The Commission nevertheless assured us that failing such agreement, reconstruction aid, including a major road reconstruction project, would be directly managed and disbursed by the Delegation in Sri Lanka.
Výbor se rovněž domnívá, že plánování finanční pomoci nad rámec současného finančního výhledu je riskantní vzhledem k mnoha nejistotám v souvislostí s úrovní prostředků na vnější politiky, které budou podle příštího finančního rámce k dispozici.
The committee also considered that planning financial assistance beyond the current Financial Perspective would be risky given current uncertainties about the level of resources for external policies which would be available under the next Financial Framework.
Nakonec vzal výbor na vědomí, že zvýšený podíl mechanismu rychlé reakce (jež má v roce 2005 pouze 29 milionů ) by mohl ohrozit zásah Společenství v jiných oblastech zasažených krizemi.
Finally the committee noted that an increased contribution by the Rapid Reaction Mechanism (which has only 29 million in 2005) could jeopardise Community intervention in other crisis-stricken areas.
Vzhledem k výše uvedeným skutečnostem zastává výbor názor, že
In view of the above the committee took the view that
- míra financování navrhovaná Komisí v dodatkovém a opravném rozpočtu 3/05 (170 milionů) je odpovídající;
- the level of funding proposed by the Commission via the Supplementary and Amending Budget 3/05 (170 million) was appropriate;
- patření plánovaná Komisí (98 milionů z nástroje pro flexibilitu, 12 milionů z mechanismu rychlé reakce a 60 milionů přesměrováním) by mohla být přijatelná za předpokladu, že Komise
- the arrangements envisaged by the Commission (98 million by recourse to the flexibility instrument, 12 million from the Rapid Reaction Mechanism and 60 by means of reprogramming) could be acceptable provided that the Commission
§ poskytne podrobné důkazy o zpoždění při realizaci, která se předpokládají v případě projektů dotčených přesměrováním prostředků, a udá důvody těchto zpoždění a
§ gave detailed evidence of the implementation delays foreseen for the projects concerned by reprogramming and indicated the reason for such delays, and
§ poskytne jistotu, že tyto projekty budou opětovně financovány prostřednictvím rovnocenné dodatečné částky (tj. 60 milionů) v rozpočtu na rok 2007.
§ gave clear assurance that such projects would be refinanced by means of an equivalent additional amount (i.e. 60 million) in the 2007 budget.
Věřím, že výše uvedené závěry budou náležitě zohledněny, až bude Rozpočtový výbor posuzovat dodatkový a opravný rozpočet 3/05.
I trust the above conclusions will be duly taken into account when the Committee on Budgets considers the Supplementary and Amending Budget 3/05.
S pozdravem
Yours sincerely
