Ref.: Aviz privind temeiul juridic al propunerii de directivă a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului privind promovarea utilizării energiei din surse regenerabile ( COM(2008)0019 – C6-0046/2008 – 2008/0016(COD) )
Subject: Opinion on the legal basis of the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources ( COM(2008)0019 – C6‑0046/2008 – 2008/0016(COD) )
Stimată Doamnă Președintă,
Dear Mr Chairman,
Prin scrisoarea din 29 mai 2008, ați sesizat Comisia pentru afaceri juridice, în conformitate cu articolul 35 alineatul (2) din Regulamentul de procedură, cu privire la examinarea validității temeiului juridic al susmenționatei propuneri a Comisiei.
By letter of 29 May 2008 you asked the Committee on Legal Affairs pursuant to Rule 35(2), to consider whether the legal basis of the above Commission proposal was valid.
Comisia a examinat chestiunea de mai sus în cursul reuniunii sale din 26 iunie 2008.
The committee considered the above question at its meeting of 26 June 2008.
În conformitate cu scrisoarea dvs, un amendament depus de raportorul comisiei căreia îi aparțineți dorește să elimine articolul 95, articolul 175 alineatul (1) din Tratatul CE rămânând astfel singurul temei juridic.
According to your letter, an amendment tabled by the your committee's Rapporteur seeks to delete Article 95, leaving Article 175(1) of the EC Treaty as the sole legal basis.
Justificarea oferită de autorul amendamentului este aceea că utilizarea unui temei juridic dublu este restrânsă la cazurile extreme, în care mai multe scopuri sunt în egală măsură de importante; principalul obiectiv al directivei propuse este protecția mediului, iar prezenta Directivă privind energia din surse regenerabile și Directiva privind biocombustibilii au fost ambele adoptate în temeiul articolului 175.
The justification given by the author of the amendment is that a dual basis is reserved for extreme cases where several goals are equally important; the main aim of the proposed directive is environmental protection and the current Directive on Energy from Renewable Sources and the Biofuels Directive have both been adopted under Article 175.
În plus, conform raportorului, prevederile privind biocombustibilii nu au ca principal scop facilitarea comerțului - deoarece standardele stabilite sunt departe de a fi armonizate, ci definirea criteriilor de durabilitate.
Besides, according to the Rapporteur, biofuels provisions do not principally aim at facilitating trade - as the prescribed standards are far from harmonised - but at defining sustainability criteria.
Temeiul juridic definește competența Comunității ratione materiae și specifică în ce mod trebuie exercitată aceasta, și anume instrumentul sau instrumentele legislative care pot fi utilizate în cadrul procedurii decizionale.
The legal basis defines the Community's competence ratione materiae and specifies how that competence is to be exercised, namely the legislative instrument(s) which may be used and the decision-making procedure.
De asemenea, factorul decisiv ar trebui să fie obiectul principal al măsurii
Furthermore, the decisive factor should be the main object of a measure.
În conformitate cu jurisprudența Curții de Justiție, un articol cu caracter general din Tratat constituie un temei juridic suficient, chiar dacă măsura în cauză încearcă, în subsidiar, să atingă un obiectiv urmărit de un articol cu caracter specific din tratat
According to the case-law of the Court of Justice, a general Treaty article constitutes a sufficient legal basis even though the measure in question also seeks, in a subordinate manner, to attain an aim sought by a specific Treaty article
În ceea ce privește invocarea mai multor temeiuri juridice, acest lucru se întâmplă doar atunci când o măsură are mai multe obiective simultane, indisolubil legate între ele și fără ca unul dintre ele să fie secundar și indirect în raport cu celelalte
As far as recourse to multiple legal bases is concerned, it is only where a measure has several contemporaneous objectives which are indissolubly linked with each other without one being secondary and indirect in respect of the others that multiple legal bases must be used

Temeiul juridic propus de Comisie
The legal basis proposed by the Commission
Comisia propune utilizarea a două temeiuri juridice, și anume articolul 175 alineatul (1)
The Commission proposes to use two legal bases, namely Article 175(1)
Prin derogare de la procedura de decizie prevăzută la alineatul (1) și fără a aduce atingere articolului 95, Consiliul, hotărând în unanimitate la propunerea Comisiei, după consultarea Parlamentului European, a Comitetului Economic și Social și a Comitetului Regiunilor, adoptă:
By way of derogation from the decision-making procedure provided for in paragraph 1 and without prejudice to Article 95, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, shall adopt:
(a) dispoziții în special de natură fiscală;
(a) provisions primarily of a fiscal nature;
—amenajarea teritoriului;
— town and country planning,
—administrarea cantitativă a resurselor de apă sau care au legătură directă sau indirectă cu disponibilitatea resurselor menționate;
— quantitative management of water resources or affecting, directly or indirectly, the availability of those resources,
—exploatarea solurilor, cu excepția managementului deșeurilor;
— land use, with the exception of waste management;
(c) măsurile care aduc atingere în mod semnificativ opțiunii unui stat membru între diferite surse de energie și structura generală a alimentării sale cu energie.
(c) measures significantly affecting a Member State 's choice between different energy sources and the general structure of its energy supply.
Consiliul, hotărând în condițiile prevăzute la primul paragraf, poate preciza domeniile vizate în prezentul alineat pentru care deciziile se iau cu majoritate calificată.
The Council may, under the conditions laid down in the first subparagraph, define those matters referred to in this paragraph on which decisions are to be taken by a qualified majority.
În alte domenii, Consiliul, hotărând în conformitate cu procedura prevăzută la articolul 251 și după consultarea Comitetului Economic și Social și a Comitetului Regiunilor, adoptă programe de acțiune cu caracter general prin care se stabilesc obiectivele prioritare ce trebuie realizate.
In other areas, general action programmes setting out priority objectives to be attained shall be adopted by the Council, acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 and after consulting the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
Consiliul, hotărând în funcție de condițiile prevăzute la alineatul (1) sau (2), după caz, stabilește măsurile necesare pentru punerea în aplicare a acestor programe.
The Council, acting under the terms of paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 according to the case, shall adopt the measures necessary for the implementation of these programmes.
Fără a aduce atingere anumitor măsuri cu caracter comunitar, statele membre asigură finanțarea și aplicarea politicii în domeniul mediului.
Without prejudice to certain measures of a Community nature, the Member States shall finance and implement the environment policy.
Fără a aduce atingere principiului „poluatorul plătește”, în cazul în care o măsură întemeiată pe alineatul (1) presupune costuri considerate disproporționate pentru autoritățile publice dintr-un stat membru, Consiliul prevede, în actul de adoptare a acelei măsuri, dispozițiile corespunzătoare sub forma:
Without prejudice to the principle that the polluter should pay, if a measure based on the provisions of paragraph 1 involves costs deemed disproportionate for the public authorities of a Member State, the Council shall, in the act adopting that measure, lay down appropriate provisions in the form of:
—unor derogări temporare și/sau
— temporary derogations, and/or
—unui sprijin financiar din partea Fondului de Coeziune constituit în conformitate cu articolul 161.
— financial support from the Cohesion Fund set up pursuant to Article 161.
—conservarea, protecția și îmbunătățirea calității mediului,
— preserving, protecting and improving the quality of the environment,
—protecția sănătății umane,
— protecting human health,
—utilizarea prudentă și rațională a resurselor naturale,
— prudent and rational utilisation of natural resources,
—promovarea unor măsuri la nivel internațional care să gestioneze problemele de mediu regionale sau globale.
— promoting measures at international level to deal with regional or worldwide environmental problems.
Politica Comunității în domeniul mediului urmărește un nivel de protecție ridicat, ținând seama de diversitatea situațiilor din diferitele regiuni ale Comunității.
Community policy on the environment shall aim at a high level of protection taking into account the diversity of situations in the various regions of the Community.
Aceasta se bazează pe principiile precauției și acțiunii preventive, pe principiul remedierii, cu prioritate la sursă, a daunelor provocate mediului și pe principiul „poluatorul plătește”.
It shall be based on the precautionary principle and on the principles that preventive action should be taken, that environmental damage should as a priority be rectified at source and that the polluter should pay.
În acest context, măsurile de armonizare care răspund cerințelor în domeniul protecției mediului presupun, în cazurile adecvate, o clauză de salvgardare care autorizează statele membre să ia, din motive de protecție a mediului fără caracter economic, măsuri provizorii supuse unei proceduri comunitare de control.
In this context, harmonisation measures answering environmental protection requirements shall include, where appropriate, a safeguard clause allowing Member States to take provisional measures, for non-economic environmental reasons, subject to a Community inspection procedure.
În elaborarea politicii sale în domeniul mediului, Comunitatea ține seama de:
In preparing its policy on the environment, the Community shall take account of:
—datele științifice și tehnice disponibile;
— available scientific and technical data,
—condițiile de mediu din diferitele regiuni ale Comunității;
— environmental conditions in the various regions of the Community,
—avantajele și costurile care pot rezulta din acțiune sau din inacțiune;
— the potential benefits and costs of action or lack of action,
—dezvoltarea economică și socială a Comunității în ansamblul său și de dezvoltarea echilibrată a regiunilor sale.
— the economic and social development of the Community as a whole and the balanced development of its regions.
În cadrul competențelor lor, Comunitatea și statele membre cooperează cu țările terțe și cu organizațiile internaționale competente.
Within their respective spheres of competence, the Community and the Member States shall cooperate with third countries and with the competent international organisations.
Condițiile cooperării Comunității pot face obiectul unor acorduri între aceasta și terțele părți în cauză, care se negociază și se încheie în conformitate cu articolul 300.
The arrangements for Community cooperation may be the subject of agreements between the Community and the third parties concerned, which shall be negotiated and concluded in accordance with Article 300.
Paragraful precedent nu aduce atingere competenței statelor membre de a negocia în cadrul organismelor internaționale și de a încheia acorduri internaționale. și articolul 95
The previous subparagraph shall be without prejudice to Member States' competence to negotiate in international bodies and to conclude international agreements. and Article 95
Prin derogare de la articolul 94 și cu excepția cazului în care prezentul tratat dispune altfel, dispozițiile următoare se aplică în vederea realizării obiectivelor enunțate la articolul 14.
