OPINION of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
referitor la proiectul de buget general al Uniunii Europene pentru exercițiul financiar 2009
on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2009
Contextul general
General Background
Bugetul total din proiectul preliminar de buget (PPB) pe 2009 se ridică la 134,4 miliarde de EUR în credite de angajament.
The total Preliminary Draft Budget (PDB) for 2009 amounts to EUR 134, 4 billion in commitment appropriations.
Acesta reprezintă 1,04% din VNB al Comunității și reprezintă o creștere de 3,1% față de bugetul pe 2008.
This represents 1, 04 % of Community GNI, and is an increase of 3,1 % on the 2008 budget.
Rămâne disponibilă o marjă de 2,63 miliarde EUR sub pragul din cadrul financiar.
A margin of EUR 2, 63 billion remains available under the ceiling of the financial framework.
Se propun credite de plată în valoare de 116,7 miliarde EUR (0,90 din VNB).
Payment appropriations are proposed at EUR 116, 7 billion (0, 90 % of GNI).
Aceasta reprezintă o scădere cu 3,3% față de bugetul pe 2008.
This represents a decrease of 3, 3 % on 2008 budget.
Creșterea economică și a numărului de locuri de muncă pe termen lung rămân în mod constant pe primul plan an cheltuielilor Uniunii Europene, lor fiindu-le destinată cea mai mare parte - aproape 45% - din bugetul propus pe 2009.
Long-term economic growth and employment remain firmly at the top of European Union spending, taking the biggest share - nearly 45 % - of the proposed 2009 budget.
Cu toate acestea, investițiile în mediu ar trebui să fie în creștere, iar în 2009 fondurile totale destinate tuturor obiectivelor de mediu ar trebui să reprezinte peste 10% din buget, mai precis 14 miliarde Euro.
However, investment in environment is supposed to be on the rise and in 2009 the total funds for all environmental objectives is supposed to take more than 10% of the budget, e.g. Euro 14 billion.
Se dorește majorarea investițiilor ecologice transversale, cu o creștere de 17,3% în afara domeniilor coeziune și dezvoltare rurală.
Efforts to raise cross-cutting green investment are planned, with an increase of 17, 3 % outside the areas of cohesion and rural development.
Finanțarea totală pentru obiective energetice, inclusiv securitate energetică, energie regenerabilă și cercetare, este în jur de 2,3 miliarde euro.
Total funding for energy objectives including energy security, renewable energy and research is set at around Euro 2, 3 billion.
Bugete individuale (PPB 2009) aflate în competența acestei comisii
Individual budgets (PDB 2009) in the competence of this committee
Politica reală de mediu este plasată în principal la titlul 2 din PPB pe 2009, Conservarea și gestionarea resurselor naturale.
Genuine environmental policy is mainly placed under heading 2 of 2009 PDB, Preservation and Management of Natural Resources.
În PPB pe 2009, la titlul 07 „Mediu” există o sumă globală pentru cheltuielile operaționale de 344,857 MEUR.
The 2009 PDB shows for Title 07 "Environment" an overall amount of operational expenditure of EUR 344,857 Mio.
Având în vedere fondurile prevăzute la titlul 19 06 05 pentru intervenții de protecție civilă în țările terțe, fondurile globale ce trebuie administrate sub răspunderea DG ENV ridicându-se la 352,857 MEUR, și anume o majorare a creditelor de angajament de 3,9% față de 2008.
Taking into account the funds foreseen under Title 19 06 05 for civil protection interventions in Third countries, the overall funds to be managed under DG ENV's responsibility amount to EUR 352,857 Mio, i.e. an increase of commitment appropriations of 3,9 % in comparison to 2008.
Programul LIFE+, care a intrat în vigoare în iunie 2007, va fi în 2009 în cel de-al treilea an de punere în aplicare.
The LIFE + programme, which came into force in June 2007, will be in 2009 in its third year of implementation.
Valoarea creditelor de angajament propuse în PPB 2009 este pe deplin conformă cu programarea financiară a instrumentului și cu pachetul financiar definit la articolul 10 din Regulamentul privind LIFE+.
The amount of commitment appropriations proposed under the 2009 PDB fully matches the financial programming of the instrument and the financial envelope defined in article 10 of the LIFE + Regulation.
Aceasta reprezintă o creștere cu 9% față de nivelul creditelor adoptat în bugetul 2008.
It represents an increase of 9 % from the level of appropriations adopted under the 2008 budget.
Din creditele totale (inclusiv asistență tehnică), peste 78% (și anume 225 MEUR) vor fi dedicate finanțării proiectelor cu valoare adăugată europeană, prin intermediul unei cereri de oferte care va fi organizată de Comisia Europeană, dintre care o sumă de cel puțin 112,5 MEUR va fi dedicată proiectelor privind natura și biodiversitatea.
Of the total appropriations (including technical assistance), over 78 % (i.e. EUR 225 Mio) will be dedicated to funding of projects with European added value through a call for proposals to be organised by the European Commission, of which at least EUR 112,5 Mio will be dedicated to Nature and Biodiversity projects.
Deși rezultatul final al proiectelor sprijinite va depinde de rezultatele cererii de oferte ce se va organiza în 2009, Comisia se așteaptă ca, în plus față de natură și biodiversitate, toate domeniile politice vizate de cel de-al șaselea program de acțiune al CE privind mediul să beneficieze de proiectele din cadrul programului LIFE+; Comisia așteaptă în special o creștere a proiectelor privind abordările strategice ale politicii de dezvoltare și punerea în aplicare în zonele de schimbări climatice (abordări politice inovatoare, sprijin pentru dezvoltarea și aplicarea de noi tehnologii, metode și instrumente pentru reducerea emisiilor de gaze cu efect de seră, precum și măsuri de adaptare și de atenuare a efectelor schimbărilor climatice), mediu și sănătate (calitatea aerului, a apei, zgomotul și administrarea/dezvoltarea urbană, produsele chimice și pesticidele), precum și producția și consumul durabile (politica integrată a produselor, gestionarea deșeurilor și prevenirea).
Although the final outcome of the projects supported will depend upon the results of the call for proposals to be organised in 2009, the Commission expects that, in addition to Nature and biodiversity, all policy areas covered by the 6th EC Environmental Action Programme will benefit from projects under LIFE + : the Commission expects in particular an increase in projects relating to strategic approaches to policy development and implementation in the areas of climate change (innovative policy approaches, support for the development and application of new technologies, methods and instruments in greenhouse gas reduction, and adaptation and mitigation measures), environment and health (air quality, water, noise and urban management / development, chemicals and pesticides), and sustainable production and consumption (integrated product policy and waste management and prevention).
Cealaltă parte a liniei bugetare operaționale 07 03 07 (în jur de 45 MEUR) are scopul de a sprijini măsuri la nivel comunitar pentru punerea în aplicare ș dezvoltarea legislației în materie de mediu, precum și pentru măsuri de sensibilizare și atragere în acest proces a părților interesate (prin sprijinirea ONG-urilor care sunt în mod principal active în protejarea și creșterea calității mediului la nivel european).
The other part of the operational budget line 07 03 07 (around EUR 45 Mio) aim at supporting measures at EU level for the implementation and development of Environment legislation, as well as awareness-raising measures and association of stakeholders to this process (through support to NGOs that are primarily active in protecting and enhancing the environment at European level).
Aceste resurse sprijină de asemenea studii, anchete și furnizarea de servicii care permit Comisiei să faciliteze o mai bună reglementare.
These resources also support studies, surveys and provision of services that allow the Commission to facilitate better regulation.
În spiritul angajamentului din cel de-al șaselea program de acțiune privind mediul de a baza politica de mediu a UE pe dovezi științifice solide și pe cele mai bune date disponibile, studiile, evaluările de impact, evaluările politice și alte servicii de suport achiziționate prin intermediul programului LIFE+ reprezintă un instrument politic esențial de sprijin.
In line with the 6 th Environment Action Programme commitment to base EU environment policy on solid scientific evidence and best available data, the studies, impact assessments, policy evaluations and other support services purchased through LIFE+ are an essential policy support tool.
Protecție civilă
Civil Protection
Una dintre noile caracteristici principale ale instrumentului financiar de protecție civilă este posibilitatea abordării în mod mai eficient de către Comunitate a problemei transportului de asistență oferită de statele membre.
One of the main new features of the Civil Protection Financial instrument is the possibility for the Community to address more effectively the issue of transport of assistance offered by Member States.
În baza instrumentului financiar de protecție civilă, vor fi înființate și puse în aplicare serviciile și facilitățile adecvate pentru a garanta că asistența solicitată și oferită prin intermediul mecanismului comunitar în caz de urgență este transportată în mod eficient și rapid în țara afectată, indiferent dacă aceasta se află în UE (aproximativ 4 MEUR conform liniei bugetare 07 04 01) sau în afara UE (8 MEUR prevăzute la linia bugetară 19 06 05).
On the basis of the Civil Protection Financial Instrument, appropriate services and facilities will therefore be put in place and implemented to ensure that the assistance requested and offered through the Community Mechanism in case of emergency is transported effectively and speedily to the affected country, be it within the EU (approximately EUR 4 Mio under budget line 07 04 01) or outside the EU (the EUR 8 Mio foreseen under budget line 19 06 05).
Nivelul creditelor de angajament solicitate este pe deplin conform cu programarea financiară multianuală convenită la rubrica 3B din cadrul financiar.
The level of commitment appropriations requested is fully in line with the multiannual financial programming agreed under heading 3B of the financial framework.
