Veliko Britanijo so julija prizadele hude poplave, ki so zahtevale vsaj 10 človeških življenj in so po ocenah povzročile 5 milijard evrov škode na domovih, šolah, infrastrukturi in kmetijstvu.
MEPs request the creation of a European force that could immediately react in emergencies, as proposed in former Commissioner BARNIER 's report (see link below), and regret the lack of response and follow-up in this respect.
Brez čiste vode je ostalo več kot 420.000 ljudi, ki so v velikem številu zapuščali prizadeta območja, velike izgube pa so utrpela tudi podjetja, kmetijstvo in turistična industrija.
The House also emphasises, in this context, the need to continue the development of a rapid reaction capability based on the civil protection modules of the Member States.
Poplave so prizadele tudi osrednjo in severno Italijo, medtem ko so na jugu pustošili suša in požari.
MEPs ask the Commission to draw up a concrete proposal to this end while underlining the role of Member States and their local authorities in effectively preventing and combating fires.
Huda suša, kasneje pa še poplave, so prizadele tudi Romunijo.
Failed to demonstrate "sufficient solidarity"
Parlament poziva Komisijo, naj na najbolj prožen način in nemudoma mobilizira obstoječi solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije (SSEU).
The House notes, as a result, that some Member States received less assistance than others and had to rely on bilateral agreements with non-EU states for assistance.
Poslanci priznavajo prispevek centra za nadzor in informiranje pri mobilizaciji ter usklajevanju pomoči civilne zaščite med izrednimi razmerami.
The House emphasises the need to speed up the procedure to access EU funds for the recovery of agricultural land following floods and fires and for more financial aid to be made available in the development of flood defences.
Ob tem pa opozarjajo, da so sredstva držav članic za boj proti gozdnim požarom, zlasti z letali, omejena in da države ne morejo nuditi pomoči, kadar so ta sredstva potrebna na nacionalni ravni.
James ELLES (EPP-ED, UK, Conservative, South East) said: "We have had amongst the wettest months of June and July on record, in my country.
Parlament poziva Svet, naj nemudoma sprejme odločitev o novi uredbi o solidarnostnem skladu EU.
As a result, the Association of British Insurers reckons damages could be up to EUR 5 billion.
Nova uredba, ki med drugim znižuje meje za uporabo solidarnostnega sklada, bo omogočila učinkovitejše, prožnejše in hitrejše ukrepe za odpravo škode, zato predlaga sklic izrednega skupnega zasedanja odgovornih ministrov EU.
Ten lives have been lost, countless homes have been destroyed, countless businesses dislocated and infrastructure has been destroyed.
Po mnenju poslancev bi se lahko predlagane skupne evropske sile v kriznih razmerah nemudoma odzvale, zato obžaluje neodzivnost in pomanjkanje nadaljnjih ukrepov na tem področju.
Therefore, it would be extremely important that floods are also included in any action which the Commission wishes to propose."
Ob tem je treba še naprej razvijati zmogljivosti za hitro ukrepanje, ki bi temeljile na modulih civilne zaščite držav članic.
Richard CORBETT (PES, UK Labour Yorkshire and the Humber) said: "I draw attention in particular to the floods that affected many parts of England, including my own constituency of Yorkshire and the Humber.
Komisija bi morala raziskati še druge možnosti za uspešnejše preprečevanje gozdnih požarov, za boljše metode in opremo za boj proti njim.
I would urge the Commission and all those involved in processing the requests that have now been made for assistance from the European Union budget – and for the solidarity that our Union can display – to make sure that in all these cases those funds are mobilised as rapidly as possible without undue bureaucratic impediment.
Države članice naj sprejmejo odločne ukrepe za izboljšanje svoje zakonodaje na področju zaščite gozdov in njenega izvajanja ter se vzdržijo komercializacije in prerazvrstitve gozdnih območij ter njihovega prehoda v zasebno last, da bi se na ta način izognili vmešavanju in špekulacijam.
As long as the decision is taken quickly and people know that the money is on its way, it is possible to plan even before the money actually arrives.
V ta namen bi bilo treba uporabiti vso dosegljivo strokovno znanje EU, vključno s satelitskimi sistemi.
It is also very important, symbolically and politically, to make this gesture of solidarity with all the regions that have suffered this summer."
Parlament obžaluje dejstvo, da so bili številni gozdni požari očitno podtaknjeni in je močno zaskrbljen, ker so gozdni požari v Evropi vse pogosteje posledica kriminalnih dejanj.
MEPs call on the Commission to carry out more research geared to improving forest fire prevention and forest fire-fighting methods and materials and to review planning and land use.
Države članice zato poziva k uvedbi strožjih kazni za kazniva dejanja, ki škodijo okolju, zlasti tista, ki povzročajo gozdne požare, ter verjame, da bi takojšnja in učinkovita preiskava za ugotovitev odgovornosti in posledično ustrezno kaznovanje odvrnila od malomarnih in namernih dejanj.
The House urges the Member States, therefore, to take strong action to improve and implement their forest protection legislative framework and to abstain from commercialisation, reclassification and privatisation activities, thus limiting intrusion and speculation.
Na koncu poslanci še pozivajo države članice, naj zagotovijo, da bodo vsa gozdna pogorišča še naprej ostala gozdovi, da bodo zajeta v programe ponovnega pogozdovanja ter da bodo prepovedane vse spremembe rabe tal.
The House calls on the Member States, therefore, to strengthen penal sanctions for criminal acts that damage the environment and, in particular, for those causing forest fires.
Države bi zato morale izvajati ustrezno zakonodajo na področju ohranjanja in primerne rabe tal, vključno s trajnostnimi kmetijskimi in gozdarskimi praksami, upravljanjem z vodami in učinkovitim obvladovanjem tveganj, ter takoj pripraviti ukrepe za obnovo turizma in prizadetih lokalnih gospodarstev.
The House condemns the practice of legalisation of illegal construction on protected and generally non-authorised areas, and urges that all attempts at reducing forest protection via changes to the Greek Constitution (Article 24) be stopped immediately.
Delegacija Evropskega parlamenta naj bi kmalu odšla v države, ki so jih najbolj prizadele nedavne naravne katastrofe, kjer bi izrazila svojo solidarnost s prebivalstvom, preučila, kakšno škodo so utrpeli ljudje, njihovo premoženje, socialne mreže, okolje in gospodarstvo, ter sprejela sklepe za uspešnejše preprečevanje in ravnanje v podobnih izrednih razmerah v EU v prihodnje.
Finally, the House urges the Member States to ensure that all burned forest areas will remain forests and are covered by reforestation programmes, and that no land use change should be allowed, to implement adequate legislation on conservation and appropriate land use including sustainable farm and forestry practices, water management and efficient risk management and to immediately plan extended reconstruction policies for tourism and the affected local economy.
Revizija enotnega trga
The Single Market Review: tackling barriers and inefficiencies
Poslanci v dokumentu med drugim pozivajo, da bi bilo treba dokončati odpiranje omrežnih industrij, kot so prevoz, telekomunikacije, poštne storitve in prevoz energije, ki so že po definiciji namenjene za povezovanje podjetij in posameznikov.
It has created millions of jobs, extra prosperity, higher exports and increased investment, delivering benefits to businesses and consumers alike.
Enotni evropski trg je bil vzpostavljen s 1. januarjem 1993 in je v skoraj 15 letih delovanja pomagal ustvariti milijone novih delovnih mest, dodatne zaslužke in spodbudil izvoz ter naložbe po vsej Uniji.
Still, almost 15 years since its coming into existence (on 1 January 1993), the EU's Single Market remains a work in progress.
Kljub temu pa trg še ni dokončno vzpostavljen in revizija, ki jo je pripravila Evropska komisija, naj bi bila priložnost, da se predstavijo vse koristi, ki jih lahko prinese dokončno oblikovanje enotnega trga.
MEPs make clear their vision of a Single Market for the 21st century in an own-initiative report by Jacques TOUBON (EPP-ED, FR).
Po mnenju parlamenta notranji trg oblikuje del vsakodnevnega življenja državljanov že do tolikšne mere, da se sploh ne zavedajo več prednosti in koristi, ki jih lahko od njega imajo.
In the report adopted by 534 votes in favour, 119 against and 27 abstentions, the House welcome the Commission’s work on the Single Market Review (SMR), noting that the Review - which aims to review existing mechanisms and to identify gaps - is an opportunity to demonstrate the benefits to be reaped from the effective implementation of the internal market.
Nujno je, da se razširi možnosti državljanov in se jim ponudi kakovostne izdelke in boljše možnosti za čezmejne nakupe, sektorji, na katerih še ni prišlo do usklajevanja, pa še vedno predstavljajo polovico enotnega trga.
As MEPs underline, an improvement in the functioning of the Single Market is still necessary.
Dokument zahteva od Komisije, da sprejme celovito strategijo o vseh pravicah intelektualne lastnine , zlasti da predlaga skupno strategijo za patente v Evropi .
"There is a need", reads the report, "to complete the opening of network industries, such as transport, telecommunications, postal services and energy transport."
Glede energije in boja proti globalnemu segrevanju poslanci pozdravljajo sporazum z marčnega Evropskega sveta kot korak na poti k evropski energetski politiki.
The Parliament calls on the Commission to encourage Member States to improve access for SMEs to public procurement contracts and to apply pre-commercial procurement to improve the innovative capacity of the Single Market.
Ob tem menijo, da je bilo pomenu jedrske energije pri doseganju ciljev energetske in okoljske politike Evropske unije posvečeno premalo pozornosti.
The report, authored by Jacques TOUBON (EPP-ED, FR), focuses on a number of areas where room for improvement is visible and reforms necessary.
Poudarjajo tudi dejstvo, da enotni trg zahteva razvoj medsebojno povezanih omrežij.
To that effect, the European Parliament:
Prost pretok blaga je ključni element za učinkovitost enotnega trga, pa vendar za četrtino vseh izdelkov , proizvedenih v Evropski uniji, še vedno ne veljajo usklajevalni ukrepi.
- believes the greater harmonisation may be necessary in certain areas, in particular in retail financial services (including means of payment) and in the functioning of the tax system;
Parlament zato poziva države članice, naj v celoti uporabljajo vzajemno priznavanje in s tem zagotovijo izvajanje te temeljne svoboščine, ki je v korist potrošnikom in podjetjem.
- holds the view that tackling climate change and ensuring sustainable development are of paramount importance, and can be achieved only with a balanced energy mix, and that a Single Market policy promoting sustainable and competitive energy is vital to those ends;
Poslanci menijo, da je treba na določenih področjih povečati harmonizacijo , zlasti na področju maloprodajnih finančnih storitev (vključno s plačilnimi sredstvi) in področju obdavčevanja .
- underlines the importance of a SM policy promoting sustainable and competitive energy -- regretting, however, "that insufficient emphasis [is] placed on the potential contribution of nuclear power";
V zvezi s tem spodbujajo Komisijo, da predvidi vzpostavitev konsolidirane enotne osnove za odmero evropskega davka za podjetja.
- points out that 25% of the goods manufactured in the European Union are still not covered by harmonisation measures.
Poročilo tudi poudarja pomen odprave omejitev za prosti pretok delavcev ter spodbujanje socialnih ciljev , kot so kakovostna delovna mesta, enake možnosti, varovanje zdravja in okolja, ob upoštevanju kulturne raznolikosti v državah članicah.
The report calls on Member States, therefore, to make full use of the principle of mutual recognition to ensure the free movement of goods in the interest of consumers and businesses - insists on the pursuit of harmonisation in key areas, in particular retail financial services (including means of payment) and taxation;
Kakovostne in moderne storitve splošnega pomena so namreč nujno potrebne za doseganje ciljev, kot so socialna in ozemeljska kohezija, varstvo okolja in kulturna raznolikost.
- welcomes the Commission's initiatives to identify common principles on Services of General Interest, noting that "strong and modern services of general interest are necessary in order to achieve public interest objectives";
Na koncu dokument navaja, da bo EU v svetovnem gospodarstvu lahko uspevala samo, če doseže, oziroma preseže inovacijsko sposobnost svojih trgovinskih partnerjev.
- calls on the EU to position itself with regard to future trends in the global economy so as to ensure the efficiency of its trade defence and sustainable competitiveness; believes that the Transatlantic Internal Market "could be one of the appropriate instruments to achieve this";
Unija zato potrebuje posebne ukrepe, da bi enotni trg postal bolj inovativen in se mora kot celota vključiti v prihodnje trende v svetovnem gospodarstvu, saj bosta le tako zagotovljeni učinkovitost trgovinske zaščite EU ter trajnostna konkurenca.
- believes that the present VAT and excise duty systems are a barrier to the completion of the Single Market, in particular in relation to cross-border trade.
Čezatlantski notranji trg (sporazum o prosti trgovini med ZDA in EU) bi bil lahko eden od primernih instrumentov za doseganje tega.
The House calls on the Commission to investigate tax problems related to personal mail order and Internet shopping, and to come forward with proposals for facilitating EU citizens' full benefit from the free movement of goods.
Države bi lahko določile posebne varnostne zahteve za prevoz nevarnega blaga, ki ni zajet v direktivi, še posebej, kadar gre za prevoz na potniških vlakih.
Although welcoming the proposal, the Parliament endorsed amendments including several of technical nature which permit Member States to regulate for safety reasons the transport of dangerous goods not yet covered by the Directive and especially in passenger trains.
Ker se parlament in Svet EU načeloma strinjata o vsebini direktive, bo ta lahko sprejeta že po prvi obravnavi postopka soodločanja.
Based on the two-year rhythm of the international agreements ARD, RID and ADN (see above) the period of renewing the authorisation is brought to six instead of five years.
Portugalski predsednik za več solidarnosti v Evropi
President of Portugal stresses solidarity as key European value
Predsednik Portugalske, ki trenutno predseduje Svetu EU, je pozval k skorajšnji sklenitvi reformne evropske pogodbe in se zavzel za več evropske solidarnosti.
The President of Portugal, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, gave an address to the House in which he focused above all on the theme of solidarity "as a fundamental pillar of European integration".
Ob predstavitvi visokega gosta je predsednik parlamenta Hans-Gert Pöttering ugotavljal, da se Portugalska tudi med svojim tretjim predsedovanjem Svetu EU prizadevno ukvarja z aktualnimi ključnimi temami: "Vaša država namerava med drugim uspešno zaključiti medvladno konferenco o reformni pogodbi EU, okrepiti zunanjo in varnostno politiko Unije, še posebej v odnosih z Latinsko Ameriko, Afriko in sredozemskimi državami.
Introducing Mr Cavaco Silva, Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering said that previous Portuguese presidencies had been particularly "ambitious" in their scope and also that Portugal's history gave it a special position:
Odkritja na vseh koncih sveta - potovanja pa so se začela v Lizboni, v 14. stoletju - so bila prva stopnja globalizacije.
When Lisbon had sent ships to all corners of the world starting in the 14th century, this had marked "the dawn of globalisation".
Odprtost v svet in kultura strpnosti, ki ju je vaša država razvijala skozi stoletja, sta v današnjem času pomembna izkušnja in prednost za našo Evropsko unijo."
Mr Pöttering also highlighted Portugal's "culture of tolerance and global thinking".
Po sprejemu pogodbe pa se mora Evropa posvetiti vprašanjem, ki skrbijo njene državljane: gospodarska rast, zaposlovanje, varnost, okolje, energetika in globalizacija.
Once the treaty was concluded, said Mr Cavaco Silva, the EU must concentrate on the challenges that worry European citizens: economic growth, employment, security, the environment, energy and globalisation.
Za portugalskega predsednika pa je ključni steber evropske integracije solidarnost : "Solidarnost je, skupaj s subsidiarnostjo, dejansko nujni pogoj za prihodnji razvoj Evrope.
He then turned to the central theme of his speech - solidarity - quoting from the Schumann Declaration of 1950: “Europe … will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity” and adding "To be a real Union we must preserve the feeling of community that was, and not by chance, the original designation of European integration".
V mislih imam oprijemljivo, pravo solidarnost, ki se izraža v skupnih ukrepih in politikah, ne pa retorične solidarnosti à la carte .
Seeing poverty and social exclusion as crucial problems, he told the House "The principle of solidarity includes an ethical and moral idea of progress, for without it the founding values of the European idea will fade".
Schumanova deklaracija pravi, da bo 'Evropa zgrajena skozi dejanske dosežke, ki pomenijo de facto solidarnost.'
As President of Portugal, he had highlighted social inclusion as a top priority for his country.
Da bi res postali prava unija, moramo ohraniti občutek skupnosti, ki je bila - in to ne naključno - izvirni cilj evropske integracije."
He pointed out "In the five-year period between 2001 and 2005, the risk-of-poverty rate in the countries of the Union stood at 16%".
Cavaco Silva je nato navedel podatke, da se nevarnost revščine v EU povečuje, saj je v obdobju 2001-05 delež prebivalstva, ki mora preživeti z dohodki, nižjimi od 60 odstotkov povprečja v njihovi državi, dosegel že 16 odstotkov, kar je 75 milijonov ljudi.
Moreover, "a more detailed look at these indicators shows that the old, the unemployed, particularly the long term unemployed, isolated persons and lone-parent families are the social groups facing the greatest risk of poverty and material deprivation".
Leta 2005 je bila razlika že 5-kratna.
What are the solutions?
Sprašujem se, če ni naš tradicionalni model socialne države že blizu skrajnih meja svoje učinkovitosti?
"I ask myself if our traditional social protection policies may not be reaching the limits of their efficacy", said Mr Cavaco Silva.
Model se mora prilagoditi novim izzivom in okoliščinam globaliziranega sveta ter informacijske družbe znanja.
Nowadays "we must acknowledge the need for the social model to adapt to the new challenges and the new contexts of the global world and of the information and knowledge society".
Res je, da ni napredka družbe brez gospodarske rasti - toda gospodarska rast, ki temelji na socialnem uničenju, je neizvedljiva in nesprejemljiva.
Ultimately, "the best protection against poverty and social exclusion we can give citizens is to facilitate their participation in the job market".
Rabimo višjo in boljšo gospodarsko rast, skupaj z izobraževanjem in vseživljenjskim učenjem ter usposabljanjem."
Therefore "We need more and better economic growth" together with education and training "to make the habit of lifelong learning widespread".
"Evropa mora biti osrednji, vplivni dejavnik v globalnem, multilateralnem in multipolarnem svetovnem okolju, ki postaja ključnega pomena za samo trajnost evropskega integracijskega procesa.
Europe’s inertia in relation to Africa may carry a heavy strategic price for the Union".
Predsednik Cavaco Silva je bil na položaj izvoljen januarja 2006 že v prvem krogu predsedniških volitev in 9. marca 2006 tudi prisegel kot 19. predsednik portugalske republike.
He complimented his compatriot, Commission President José Manuel Barroso, on his "strategic vision and determination" on this front.
Rojen je bil leta 1939 in je po izobrazbi doktor ekonomskih znanosti.
Lastly, Mr Cavaco Silva spoke of the role of the EU on the international stage, saying that "ensuring the conditions for Europe to be a central, influential actor in the global, multilateral and multipolar world that is emerging is crucial for the very sustainability of the European integration process".
V politiko je vstopil leta 1980, ko je bil imenovan za finančnega ministra, od leta 1985 do 1995 pa je bil predsednik portugalske vlade in socialdemokratske stranke (PSD), s katero je dvakrat osvojil absolutno večino na parlamentarnih volitvah in ostaja premier z najdaljšim mandatom v zgodovini portugalske demokracije (po padcu diktature 1974).
Portugal's history as a leader of globalisation makes it "well aware that its capacity to act as a credible, influential actor on the world scene is decisive for the future of Europe", said the Portuguese President, who then concluded his speech by praising the European Parliament as "an institution that has always been at the forefront in defending the values and principles that forged the identity of Europe and wove the 'de facto solidarity' bequeathed by the founders".

Boljša evropska zakonodaja
Better regulation in the EU - MEPs adopt four reports
Evropski poslanci so v torek potrdili štiri poročila na lastno pobudo, ki obravnavajo predloge Komisije za poenostavitev in izboljšanje evropske zakonodaje.
MEPs adopted four reports on better regulation in the EU.
Predlogi Komisije so del Lizbonske strategije, z njimi pa naj bi se predvsem poenostavili administrativni postopki ter posledično tudi izboljšala prenos in izvajanje skupne zakonodaje v državah članicah.
The key points of the package include emphasising plain and simple language, the importance of adequate and independent impact assessments, based on wide-ranging consultation of stakeholders and that "soft law" all too often constitutes an ambiguous and ineffective instrument which is liable to have a detrimental effect on Community legislation.
Boljša pravna ureditev v Evropski uniji
"Better Regulation in the EU"
Ocene zakonodaje, ki naj bi bila predmet poenostavitve, pa bi morale upoštevati ekonomske, socialne, okoljske in zdravstvene faktorje, ter temeljiti na širokih posvetovanjih.
The report deplores Member States' practice of 'gold plating', and calls upon the Commission to investigate what further measures might be taken to prevent it, including the introduction of a right of direct action for citizens.
Parlament predlaga še dodatno varovalko - ocene odbora naj bi pregledala še neodvisna skupina strokovnjakov.
The report strongly advocates transparency and independent scrutiny of the carrying-out of impact assessments.
Boljša priprava zakonodaje 2005: uporaba načel subsidiarnosti in sorazmernosti
Subsidiarity and proportionality - independent impact assessments needed
Letno poročilo o uporabi načel subsidiarnosti in sorazmernosti je pripravil poslanec Bert DOORN (EPP-ED, NL) , ukvarja pa se tudi z ocenami učinka zakonodaje, ki jih Komisija izdela za vsak zakonodajni dokument.
In a second own-initiative report on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, the House considers that bad regulatory quality in the Member States and at Community level weakens the rule of law and alienates citizens from their institutions.
Parlamentarci tudi podpirajo namero Komisije, da se do leta 2012 administrativna bremena zmanjšajo za četrtino.
The report welcomes the Commission action programme to measure the administrative cost for undertakings in Europe and to reduce needless and disproportionate administrative burdens by 25% by 2012.
Poenostavitev zakonodajnega okolja
MEPs welcome strategy for the simplification of the regulatory environment
