These tools have asked Member States to commit themselves to a strengthened application of the ‘polluter pays’ and cost-recovery principles. 
Ta orodja vključujejo poziv državam članicam, naj se zavežejo, da bodo okrepljeno uporabljale načelo, da plača povzročitelj obremenitve, in načelo povračila stroškov.
From 2010 onwards, these principles will become operational, under the provisions of the Water Framework Directive. 
Načelo, da plača povzročitelj obremenitve, se bo začelo izvajati leta 2010 na podlagi določb okvirne direktive o vodah.
Special Report No 3/2009 — The effectiveness of Structural Measures spending on waste water treatment for the 1994–99 and 2000–06 programme periods 
Posebno poročilo št. 3/2009 – Uspešnost porabe iz strukturnih ukrepov za čiščenje odpadne vode za programski obdobji 1994–1999 in 2000–2006
44 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 59. (a) Underutilisation of some treatment plants is sometimes caused by time lags in the construction of the waste water systems, associated with significant changes in economic activity that could not be foreseen. 
44 ZAKLJUČKI IN PRIPOROČILA 59. (a) Obratovanje nekaterih čistilnih naprav pod njihovimi zmogljivostmi včasih povzročajo zakasnitve pri izgradnji kanalizacijskih sistemov, povezane s precejšnjimi spremembami gospodarske dejavnosti, ki jih ni mogoče predvideti.
In such cases, a future-oriented design of the treatment plant can be cost-effective, but it might lead temporarily to the treatment plants operating below capacity. (b) The Commission underlines that Member States are responsible for the operation of the treatment plants and their compliance with Community legislation. 
V takih primerih je lahko v prihodnost usmerjena zasnova čistilne naprave stroškovno učinkovita, vendar pa lahko začasno povzroči, da se obratovalna zmogljivost čistilnih naprav ne izkorišča v celoti. (b) Komisija poudarja, da so za obratovanje čistilnih naprav in njihovo skladnost z zakonodajo Skupnosti odgovorne države članice.
The Commission has in numerous cases taken Member States to the Court of Justice, including the four Member States audited, for inadequate effluent quality from treatment plants and/ or for inadequate designation of sensitive areas, and will continue to do so. 
Komisija je zaradi neustrezne kakovosti odplak iz čistilnih naprav in/ali neustrezne določitve občutljivih območij v številnih primerih na Sodišču Evropskih skupnosti sprožila postopke proti državam članicam, vključno s štirimi revidiranimi državami članicami, ter bo take ukrepe tudi nadaljevala.
60. (a) The Commission agrees that investments in this sector need to rely on a long-term planning at local/regional level, and financial resources should include the cohesion policy funds, which need to be complemented by other sources. (b) Instruments for regulating the industrial waste water discharges are enshrined in the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (Article 11), and should be applied by Member States. 
60. (a) Komisija se strinja, da morajo naložbe v tem sektorju temeljiti na dolgoročnem načrtovanju na lokalni/regionalni ravni ter da morajo finančni viri vključiti sredstva kohezijske politike, ki pa jih morajo dopolniti tudi drugi viri. (b) Države članice morajo uporabljati instrumente za ravnanje z izpusti tehnološke odpadne vode, ki jih določa direktiva o čiščenju komunalnih odpadnih voda (člen 11).
REPLY OF THE COMMISSION 62. (a) Reuse of sewage sludge is in many cases limited by the quality of the sludge, geographical conditions or economic considerations. 
ODGOVORI KOMISIJE 62. (a) Ponovno uporabo blata iz čistilnih naprav pogosto omejujejo kakovost blata, geografske razmere ali gospodarski vidiki.
63. (a) The Commission agrees that projects in this sector should indicate the strategy for the sewage sludge management. 
63. (a) Komisija se strinja, da morajo projekti v tem sektorju vključevati strategijo za ravnanje z blatom iz čistilnih naprav.
For new projects, submitted during 2007–13, this element is being checked. (b) In 2007, Member States were asked to provide data related to the sewage sludge production, for the preparation of the fifth Implementation Report of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. The requirement to report has encouraged Member States to establish national databases. (c) The Commission is working on a revision of the Sewage Sludge Directive, based on the development of a comprehensive impact assessment of options and their costs and benefits. 
Ta element se preverja pri novih projektih, predloženih v obdobju 2007–2013. (b) Leta 2007 so bile države članice pozvane, naj predložijo podatke o nastajanju blata iz čistilnih naprav za pripravo petega poročila o izvajanju direktive o čiščenju komunalne odpadne vode. Zahteva za poročanje je države članice spodbudila k vzpostavitvi nacionalnih zbirk podatkov. (c) Komisija pripravlja revizijo direktive o blatu iz čistilnih naprav, ki bo temeljila na pripravi celovite ocene učinka možnosti ter njihovih stroškov in koristi.
The Commission recalls that Member States have the primary responsibility for the selection, implementation and monitoring of the projects. (a) The Commission has neither the legal basis nor the necessary resources to undertake a detailed assessment. 
Komisija opozarja, da so za izbor, izvajanje in spremljanje projektov odgovorne predvsem države članice. (a) Komisija nima niti pravne podlage niti potrebnih sredstev za izvajanje podrobne ocene.
However, for the period 2007–13, the appraisal of major projects has been streamlined, and without fulfilling minimum requirements, projects cannot be co-financed (i.e. information on sludge management strategy). 
Vendar se je za obdobje 2007–2013 vrednotenje velikih projektov racionaliziralo in projekti niso sofinancirani, če ne izpolnjujejo najmanjših zahtev (na primer informacije o strategiji za ravnanje z blatom).
This is being addressed through the use of checklists and specific training. 
To vprašanje se rešuje z uporabo kontrolnih seznamov in posebnim usposabljanjem.
45 (b) In relation to the period 2007–13, under both the Cohesion Fund and the ERDF, only major urban waste water treatment projects will be subject to individual Commission decisions. 
45 (b) V zvezi z obdobjem 2007–2013 bodo posamezni sklepi Komisije sprejeti le za velike projekte čiščenja komunalne odpadne vode v okviru Kohezijskega sklada in ESRR.
The Commission will not, in general, have the same level of detail in relation to the implementation and finalisation of major projects as in the past. 
Komisija pri izvajanju in zaključevanju velikih projektov na splošno ne bo tako natančna kot v preteklosti.
65. (b) During 2000–06, the Commission made efforts in promoting the ‘polluter pays’ principle, by issuing an indicative paper on the application of the principle and underlining its importance in the Guide to Cohesion Policy. 
65. (b) Komisija si je v obdobju 2000–2006 prizadevala za razširjanje načela, da plača povzročitelj obremenitve, tako da je izdala okvirni dokument o izvajanju tega načela in poudarila njegov pomen v smernicah za kohezijsko politiko.
The guide to cost–benefit analysis (2002) provided also Member States with relevant guidance to progress on cost recovery. 
Smernice za analizo stroškovne učinkovitosti (2002) so tudi državam članicam zagotovile ustrezna navodila za napredovanje na področju povračila stroškov.
However, since those guidances were not legally binding, it could only ask Member States to commit themselves to a strengthened application of the principle. 
Vendar te smernice niso bile pravno zavezujoče, zato je Komisija lahko države članice le pozvala, naj se zavežejo, da bodo načelo okrepljeno uporabljale.
66. (a) For the period 2007–13, the Commission has developed a checklist for internal use during major water and waste water projects appraisal, for assessing consistency with the environmental acquis and policy, including among others the quality of the waters discharged, and sludge management. 
66. (a) Komisija je za obdobje 2007–2013 sestavila kontrolni seznam za notranjo uporabo med vrednotenjem velikih projektov za vodo in odpadno vodo, da bi tako ocenila skladnost z okoljskim pravnim redom in politiko, vključno z, med drugim, kakovostjo izpuščene vode in ravnanjem z blatom.
Also, a number of output indicators are included in the individual project Commission’s decisions (i.e. level of treatment, capacity of the plant). 
V sklepe Komisije o posameznih projektih je vključenih tudi več kazalnikov učinka (na primer raven čiščenja in zmogljivost naprave).
REPLY OF THE COMMISSION (c) The Commission is currently assessing the need for a revision of detergents legislation, based on the development of a comprehensive impact assessment of options and their costs and benefits. (d) The new guide to cost–benefit analysis of investment projects (June 2008) highlights the central role of the ‘polluter pays’ principle as well as the total cost recovery for waste water projects. 
ODGOVORI KOMISIJE (c) Komisija zdaj ocenjuje potrebo po reviziji zakonodaje o detergentih, ki bo temeljila na pripravi celovite ocene učinka možnosti ter njihovih stroškov in koristi. (d) Nove smernice za analizo stroškovne učinkovitosti naložbenih projektov (junij 2008) poudarjajo ključno vlogo načela, da plača povzročitelj obremenitve, in načela povračila celotnih stroškov za projekte za odpadne vode.
It is now supported by the legal requirements of the Water Framework Directive and will lead to a better water pricing based on cost recovery by 2010. 
To drugo načelo zdaj temelji na pravnih zahtevah okvirne direktive o vodah in bo do leta 2010 omogočilo boljše določanje cen vode na podlagi povračila stroškov.

4 I. The programme of food aid for deprived persons was first introduced in 1987. 
4 I. Program pomoči v hrani za ogrožene osebe je bil uveden leta 1987.
It was designed to release products that were available in Community intervention stocks to charitable organisations for free distribution to persons in need. 
Zasnovan je bil zaradi sprostitve proizvodov iz intervencijskih zalog Skupnosti za dobrodelne organizacije, ki bi jih brezplačno razdeljevale pomoči potrebnim.
The audit focused on the validity of the intended aims in the context of an evolving market and social situation, the adequacy of the means made available, the programme’s impact, and the administrative and management procedures. 
Revizija je bila usmerjena v veljavnost predvidenih ciljev glede na razvijajoči se trg in družbeni položaj, v ustreznost sredstev, ki so dana na voljo, v učinek programa ter v upravne in upravljavske postopke.
V. The financing of the programme under CAP expenditure was initially justified because of the use of intervention stocks. 
V. Financiranje programa iz odhodkov skupne kmetijske politike je bilo na začetku upravičeno zaradi uporabe intervencijskih zalog.
However, when intervention stocks were reduced to almost zero in recent years the link of the programme with agricultural expenditure became tenuous. 
V zadnjih letih pa je povezava programa s kmetijskimi odhodki postala ohlapnejša, saj intervencijskih zalog skoraj ni bilo več.
Participation in the programme is voluntary with some Member States considering that the measure should not be financed from the EAGF budget. 
Udeležba v programu je prostovoljna, pri čemer nekatere države članice menijo, da se ukrep ne bi smel financirati iz proračuna EKJS.
The measure was designed to alleviate poverty but not to eliminate it. 
Ukrep je bil zasnovan za lajšanje revščine in ne za njeno odpravo.
In this regard the resources made available can only have a limited impact on the situation of individual deprived persons, offering on average the equivalent of one meal per month to its beneficiaries. 
Tako lahko imajo sredstva, ki so dana na voljo, le omejen učinek na položaj ogroženih posameznikov, saj upravičencem v povprečju ponujajo en obrok na mesec.
Therefore, in order to enhance its effectiveness, it is necessary to better target the aid and to ensure better coordination with social policy. 
Če želimo torej povečati učinkovitost pomoči, je treba prejemnike pomoči bolj natančno izbrati in zagotoviti večjo usklajenost s socialno politiko.
Furthermore, the existing provisions constrain the variety of the products to be distributed, while the procedures applied in the entire distribution chain result in different treatment of final beneficiaries in terms of the quantity of food provided per person. 
Obstoječe ureditve poleg tega zmanjšujejo raznovrstnost razdeljenih proizvodov, medtem ko končni upravičenci zaradi postopkov, ki se uporabljajo v celotni distribucijski verigi, niso enakopravno obravnavani, saj ne prejemajo enake količine hrane na osebo.
The fact that the programme is managed at operational level by thousands of charitable organisations, mainly staffed by volunteers and dealing with an unstable and not easily monitored target population, poses particular challenges for the administration of the scheme. 
Ker na operativni ravni program upravlja na tisoče dobrodelnih organizacij, v katerih delajo večinoma prostovoljci in ki se ukvarjajo z nestabilno ciljno populacijo, ki jo je težko spremljati, se upravljanje programa sooča s posebnimi izzivi.
Monitoring and reporting systems at Commission and Member States levels have to be improved, as well as the methodology for allocating the financial resources between the Member States. 
Treba je izboljšati sisteme spremljanja in poročanja na ravni Komisije in držav članic ter metodologijo dodeljevanja finančnih sredstev državam članicam.
Finally, the tendering procedures employed by the Member States differ considerably and do not ensure equal access to all EU operators and the broadest competition. 
Države članice poleg tega uporabljajo zelo različne razpisne postopke, ki ne zagotavljajo enakega dostopa za vse dobavitelje EU in najširše konkurence.
Thus there is the risk that best conditions are not achieved always for products withdrawn from intervention stocks or for those purchased on the open market. 
Zato obstaja tveganje, da za proizvode, umaknjene iz intervencijskih zalog ali kupljene na odprtem trgu, niso vedno doseženi najboljši pogoji.
It is also considered that the bartering arrangements used are cumbersome and difficult to control. 
Po ocenah je tudi mehanizem blagovne menjave, ki se uporablja, okoren in ga je težko kontrolirati.
The Commission has recently made a proposal to reform the programme, which would go some way to addressing certain of the weaknesses highlighted by the Court’s audit. 
Komisija je pred kratkim predlagala reformo programa, s katero bi poskušali odpraviti nekatere pomanjkljivosti, na katere je opozorila revizija Sodišča. POODVGZOEVTOE KR I KOMISIJE IX.
As the Budgetary Authorities favour the continuation of the programme, the Court makes a number of recommendations concerning the appropriateness of financing the programme under CAP expenditure, the need for increasing the impact of the measure, the integration of the programme into the social policy framework, the expansion of the variety of the products distributed, the need for improvement of the distribution methods as well as the management, monitoring and tendering procedures. 
Ker se proračunska organa zavzemata za nadaljevanje programa, Sodišče daje vrsto priporočil v zvezi z ustreznostjo financiranja programa iz odhodkov skupne kmetijske politike, s potrebo po povečanju učinka ukrepa, z vključitvijo programa v okvir socialne politike, s povečanjem raznovrstnosti razdeljenih proizvodov ter v zvezi s potrebo po boljših metodah razdeljevanja in boljših postopkih upravljanja, spremljanja in javnih naročil.
Special Report No 6/2009 — European Union food aid for deprived persons: an assessment of the objectives, the means and the methods employed 6 INTRODUCTION MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROGRAMME 1. 
6/2009 – Pomoč Evropske unije v hrani za ogrožene osebe: ocena ciljev, sredstev in uporabljenih metod 6 UVOD POGLAVITNE ZNAČILNOSTI PROGRAMA 1.
The origin of the programme for deprived persons goes back to 1987 when Europe was affected by an exceptionally cold winter which had particularly severe consequences for the most vulnerable individuals, i.e. the deprived persons. 
Začetki programa za ogrožene osebe segajo v leto 1987, ko je Evropo prizadela izredno hladna zima, katere posledice so še posebej močno občutili najbolj ranljivi posamezniki, tj. ogrožene osebe.
In order to alleviate the humanitarian emergency the Community adopted measures to release various foodstuffs, particularly agricultural products which were available in the Community intervention stocks1, to charitable organisations for free distribution to the persons in need. 
Skupnost je skušala olajšati humanitarno krizo s sprejetjem ukrepov za sprostitev različnih živil, zlasti kmetijskih proizvodov, ki so bili na voljo v intervencijskih zalogah Skupnosti1, dobrodelnim organizacijam, da bi jih brezplačno razdelile pomoči potrebnim.
The measure was widely welcomed and subject to high demand. 
Ukrep je dobil široko podporo in je sprožil veliko povpraševanje.
It was subsequently made permanent2 and still applies today. 
Pozneje je postal stalen2 in se še vedno uporablja.
The programme was innovative for the EU in the sense that its key feature consisted in helping the most deprived persons by distributing food aid to them through charitable organisations in the form of either prepared meals for immediate consumption or food packages. 
Program je bil za EU nekaj novega, ker je bila njegova poglavitna značilnost pomoč najbolj ogroženim osebam, tako da jim dobrodelne organizacije razdeljujejo pomoč v hrani, in sicer v obliki pripravljenih obrokov, ki jih je mogoče zaužiti takoj, ali paketov s hrano.
The legal provisions governing the scheme define the most deprived person as follows3 (see Box 1). 
Pravne določbe, ki urejajo program, opredeljujejo najbolj ogrožene osebe, kot sledi3 (glej okvir 1).
1 Agricultural products bought-in under public intervention measures aiming to stabilise markets and ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community. 
1 Kmetijski proizvodi, odkupljeni v skladu z javnimi intervencijskimi ukrepi, ki so usmerjeni v stabilizacijo trgov in zagotovitev spodobnega življenjskega standarda za kmetijsko skupnost.

BOX 1 THE DEFINITION OF ‘MOST DEPRIVED PERSONS’ ‘The most deprived persons’ means physical persons, whether individuals, families or groups composed of such persons, whose social and financial dependence is recorded or recognised on the basis of eligibility criteria adopted by the competent authorities, or is judged to be so on the basis of the criteria used by charitable organisations and which are approved by the competent authorities.

OKVIR 1 OPREDELITEV „NAJBOLJ OGROŽENIH OSEB“ „Najbolj ogrožene osebe“ pomenijo fizične osebe, posameznike in družine ali skupine, ki jih te osebe tvorijo, katerih stanje socialne in finančne odvisnosti je ugotovljeno ali priznano na osnovi meril o izpolnjevanju pogojev, ki jih sprejmejo pristojni organi ali so osnovane na osnovi meril dobrodelnih organizacij, in ki jih potrdijo pristojni organi. Posebno poročilo št. 6/2009 – Pomoč Evropske unije v hrani za ogrožene osebe: ocena ciljev, sredstev in uporabljenih metod
This definition makes it difficult to quantify the programme’s target group. 
Zaradi takšne opredelitve je težko določiti, kako velika je ciljna skupina programa.
