Okvir za sodelovanje med EU in Rusijo pa ne more delovati brez načela pogojnosti, ki je značilen za sosedsko politiko in ga v sporazumu o partnerstvu in sodelovanju iz leta 1997 skorajda ni.
However, the cooperation framework between the EU and Russia cannot function without a conditionality principle which marks the neighbourhood policy and was virtually absent from the 1997 Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.
Pri doseganju dolgoročnega cilja, ki je potovanje brez vizumov med obema ozemljema, je treba zagotoviti, da pogodbenici spoštujeta temeljni načeli demokracije in pravne države.
The long-term objective of establishing visa-free travel between the two territories should not be attained without ensuring that the fundamental rules of a democratic state governed by the rule of law are respected by the contracting parties.
Sporazum med Evropsko skupnostjo in Rusko federacijo o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka med državljani spodbuja potovanje in stike med narodi.
The agreement on the facilitation of visas between the European Community and the Russian Federation fosters travel by citizens and contact between peoples.
Ta praktičen rezultat politike sodelovanja in sosedske politike izvira iz projekta o skupnem evropskem območju svobode, varnosti in pravice.
It is the practical result of cooperation and neighbourhood policy stemming from the project for a common European area of freedom, security and justice.
Cilj sporazuma je zmanjšati število upravnih postopkov in poenostaviti izdajanje vizumov za kratkoročno bivanje nekaterim skupinam državljanov Evropske unije in Ruske federacije (to so bližnji sorodniki, poslovneži, člani uradnih delegacij, študenti, udeleženci znanstvenih, kulturnih in športnih prireditev, novinarji, osebe, ki obiskujejo vojaška in civilna pokopališča, in vozniki, ki opravljajo storitve mednarodnega prevoza blaga in oseb).
The aim is to cut red tape and facilitate the issuance of short-stay visas for certain categories of citizens of the European Union and the Russian Federation (close relatives, business people, members of official delegations, students, participants in scientific, cultural and sporting events, journalists, persons visiting military and civil burial grounds and drivers conducting international cargo and passenger transportation services).
Pomen sporazuma je predvsem v tem, da odpira pot intenzivnejši komunikaciji med Evropsko unijo in Rusko federacijo, spodbuja srečanje civilizacij in prispeva k oblikovanju širše Evrope.
The value of the agreement lies chiefly in the fact that it opens the way to more intense communication between the European Union and the Russian Federation, promotes the meeting of civilisations and helps to shape a wider Europe.
Prav tako gradi zaupanje, vzpostavlja dialog in spodbuja bolj človeško in intenzivnejše sodelovanje med območjema.
It fosters trust and dialogue and promotes ever more human and intense interaction between the two areas.
Vloga Evropskega parlamenta
European Parliament’s role
Nerazumljivo je, da ima Evropski parlament v procesu sklepanja mednarodnih sporazumov zgolj vlogo opazovalca.
It is incomprehensible that the European Parliament should have no more than an observer’s role in the process of concluding international agreements.
Pravzaprav je posvetovanje s Parlamentom na vrsti takrat, ko ni več mogoče spremeniti vsebine sporazuma ali preprečiti njegovega podpisa.
In fact, Parliament is not consulted until it is no longer possible to change the substance of the agreement or prevent it from being signed.
Res je, da je Parlamentu v skladu s členom 300 Pogodbe ES dodeljena le pravica, da se je treba z njim o teh zadevah posvetovati, vendar bi ga morala Svet in Komisija kljub temu redno obveščati vse od začetka pogajanj naprej.
It is true that Article 300 of the EC Treaty merely gives Parliament the right to be consulted on such matters.
Pri tem gre namreč za dolžnost lojalnega sodelovanja (člena 10 Pogodbe ES), ki ureja odnose med državami članicami in institucijami Skupnosti ter tudi odnose med samimi institucijami Skupnosti.
Nevertheless, the Council and Commission should keep Parliament regularly informed from the start of the negotiations onwards: there is a duty of genuine cooperation (Article 10 of the Treaty) that governs not only relations between the Member States and the Community institutions but also relations among the Community institutions themselves.
Parlament bo Svet in Komisijo še naprej opozarjal, naj to dolžnost upoštevata in ga redno obveščata o prihodnjih sporazumih, podpisanih med EU in tretjimi državami.
Parliament will continue to call on the Council and Commission to comply with this duty to provide regular information on future agreements signed between the EU and third countries.
Parlament pozdravlja bližajočo se uvedbo Vizumskega zakonika Skupnosti (predlog uredbe Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta (KOM(2006)403), ki se sprejema s postopkom soodločanja in čigar temeljna načela bo treba spoštovati pri vseh posebnih sporazumih o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka.
Parliament welcomes the forthcoming introduction of a Community Code on Visas (proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council, COM(2006)403), which falls under the codecision procedure and whose fundamental principles will have to be respected in all specific agreements on visa facilitation.
Mednarodni sporazumi in zapleteno vprašanje preseljevanja, ki ga ti sporazumi vključujejo, zahtevajo demokratično osnovo za sprejemanje odločitev na evropski ravni.
The topic of international agreements and the complex issue of migration which these agreements involve demand a democratic basis for European decision-making.
Ustavna pogodba bo poleg tega zagotovila tudi potrebno enotnost ter usklajenost in Parlamentu dala pravico, da odloča o zunanji politiki EU.
The constitutional treaty will also impose the necessary unity, coherence and parliamentary decisional power on EU foreign policy.
Pogoji in težave
Background conditions and problems
Za uspeh sporazuma o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka je treba ustvariti pristne pogoje vzajemnosti .
If the visa facilitation agreement is to succeed, genuine conditions of reciprocity must be established.
Parlament je nekoliko zaskrbljen glede upoštevanja teh pogojev v sporazumu.
Parliament expresses some concern at the verification of these conditions in the agreement.
Parlament opozarja na zapletene postopke obvezne registracije za vse ruske vizume, ki ovirajo potovanje v Rusijo in po njej.
Parliament recalls the complex compulsory registration procedures to which all Russian visas are subject, hampering travel to and within Russia.
Ministre za pravosodje in notranje zadeve Rusije in EU poziva, naj si dodatno prizadevajo za zagotovitev ravnovesja in vzajemnosti, Parlament pa obveščajo o prevzetih pobudah in napredku.
Parliament urges the Ministers for Justice and Home Affairs of Russia and the EU to make additional efforts with the aim of guaranteeing balance and reciprocity, and to inform us of the initiatives taken and developments made.
Dokler bodo ruske oblasti vztrajale pri zapletenih postopkih registracije, sporazum o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka ne bo imel pravega učinka.
The visa facilitation agreement will not have a genuinely useful impact as long as the complex registration procedures currently required by the Russian authorities are maintained.
Avstrijsko predsedstvo je Parlamentu sporočilo, da pogajanja o poenostavitvi že potekajo in da je Ruska federacija spremenila zakonodajo, toda v praksi tega do sedaj ni bilo opaziti.
The Austrian Presidency informed Parliament that negotiations are already underway on a solution with a view to simplification, and indeed of amendments to the legislation on the part of the Russian Federation, but Parliament is as yet unaware of any practical results.
Komisija in Svet morata Parlament redno obveščati o doseženem napredku.
The Commission and Council must keep Parliament regularly informed of progress made.
Parlament ocenjuje kot neprimerno, da je treba pri potovanju v nekatere ruske regije, kot so republika Čečenija ali nekateri deli vzhodne Rusije in Sibirije, pridobiti dodatna dovoljenja ali plačati dodatne pristojbine, medtem ko schengenski vizum EU omogoča nemoteno potovanje; poudarja potrebo po okrepitvi medsebojnega sodelovanja, da bi olajšali dostop novinarjev in nevladnih organizacij do republike Čečenije.
Parliament considers it inappropriate that travel to certain regions of Russia, such as the Chechen Republic and parts of Eastern Russia and Siberia, should be subject to additional authorisation or payment of a supplementary fee whilst a Schengen Community visa allows unrestricted travel; it stresses the need to step up consultations between the parties with a view to facilitating access to the Chechen Republic for journalists and NGOs.
Opozarja na težave, s katerimi se pri pridobivanju in podaljševanju vizumov v Rusiji v zadnjih letih srečujejo tuji novinarji, duhovniki, misijonarji in člani organizacij civilne družbe, ter izraža upanje, da bo sporazum, ko bo začel veljati, te težave odpravil.
It notes the difficulties encountered by journalists, members of the clergy, foreign missionaries and members of civil-society organisations in obtaining and renewing visas for Russia in recent years; it hopes that, once it comes into force, this agreement will put an end to these difficulties.
Parlament predlaga, da je treba podrobno preučiti določbo o predhodnem povabilu za potovanja iz Evropske unije v Rusijo, tudi v izjemnih primerih, v katerih države članice EU uporabijo to določbo.
Parliament suggests that the prior invitation rule for travelling from the European Union to Russia should be seriously questioned, and it should also be questioned in the exceptional cases of EU Member States which apply this rule.
Povabila potovanjem ne prinašajo dodane vrednosti, poleg tega spodbujajo korupcijo.
Invitations do not bring any added value to travel and they foster corruption.
Parlament tudi opozarja, da ni smiselno izključiti iz sporazuma turistov, ki niso nikoli kršili določb o vizumih.
Parliament also points out that it does not make sense to exclude tourists with a clean visa history from the agreement.
Parlament obžaluje, da člen 5(1)(a) sporazuma, ki se nanaša na izdajanje vizumov za večkratni vstop, ne vključuje poslancev Evropskega parlamenta, čeprav imajo zaradi statusa, določenega v pogodbah, enake privilegije in zaščito kot poslanci nacionalnih parlamentov.
Parliament regrets that Article 5(1)(a) of the agreement - issuance of multiple-entry visas - does not include Members of the European Parliament, whose status under the Treaties guarantees them the same privileges and immunities as members of national parliaments.
Prav tako obžaluje, da člen 11 o diplomatskih potnih listinah ne vključuje prepustnic Evropske unije, izdanim poslancem Evropskega parlamenta.
In the same way, it also regrets that Article 11 - diplomatic passports - does not include the European Union laissez-passer held by Members of the European Parliament.
Evropska unija bi morala z Rusijo okrepiti dialog o uskladitvi ruske vizumske politike s politiko Evropske unije.
The European Union should intensify its dialogue with Russia on adapting Russian visa policy to that of the European Union.
Parlament poziva Komisijo, da ruskim oblastem zagotovi potrebno strokovno znanje, da bo Rusija lahko vzpostavila prave pogoje vzajemnosti pri obravnavi vizumov.
Parliament urges the Commission to provide the necessary expertise to the Russian authorities so that Russia can achieve genuine conditions of reciprocity in the processing of visas.
Evropska politika za poenostavitev vizumskega postopka, namenjena spodbujanju komunikacije v sosedskih odnosih in odstranitvi ovir pri dostopu do območja Unije za državljane tretjih držav, je lahko skladna le ob upoštevanju notranjih in zunanjih vidikov.
A European visa facilitation policy, aimed at promoting communication in neighbourhood relations and removing barriers to access to the Union area for citizens of third countries, can only be a coherent policy if account is taken of both internal and external aspects.
Parlament poudarja, da bo imela uvedba Vizumskega zakonika Skupnosti v tem kontekstu zelo pozitiven vpliv.
Parliament points out that the introduction of a Community Code on Visas will be extremely positive in this context.
Zakonik sporazuma o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka z Rusijo ne zadeva.
The visa facilitation agreement with Russia was not touched by this Code.
Pomembno je, da Svet in Komisija pri sklepanju mednarodnih sporazumov upoštevata veljavno zakonodajo Skupnosti in zakonodajo, ki je v postopku sprejemanja.
It is important that, when concluding international agreements, the Commission and Council should take account both of Community legislation in force and legislation in the pipeline.
Parlament opozarja, da je Odbor stalnih predstavnikov 20. decembra 2005 sprejel skupen pristop k vizumski politiki EU, s katerim je opredelil merila za sklepanje sporazumov o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka, kot so cilji zunanje politike, predhodni sporazumi o ponovnem sprejemu, izvajanje obstoječih dvostranskih sporazumov, vprašanja glede varnosti in migracijski tokovi.
Parliament recalls that, on 20 December 2005, Coreper adopted a common approach to EU visa policy which defines criteria for concluding visa facilitation agreements such as foreign policy objectives, the previous existence of a readmission agreement, the implementation of already existing bilateral agreements, security issues and migration flows.
Parlament nima podatkov o tem, ali sta Svet in Komisija sporazuma EU-Rusija ocenila na osnovi teh meril.
Parliament does not have any information as to whether the Commission and Council made such an assessment in the case of the EU-Russia agreement.
Komisijo zato poziva, naj ga v primeru sklenitve sporazuma obvesti o njenih rezultatih.
It therefore asks the Commission to inform it of the results of the assessment made with a view to the conclusion of the agreement.
Poleg tega poudarja, da mora biti obveščen o takšni oceni v zvezi z vsemi prihodnjimi sporazumi o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka med EU in tretjimi državami.
It also points out that it must be informed of this assessment with regard to all future visa facilitation agreements between the EU and third countries.
Pogojnost mora biti temelj zunanje politike EU o vizumih.
Conditionality must also be a cornerstone of EU external policy on visas.
V odnosih med Evropsko unijo in Rusijo bi morali spoštovati načelo pogojnosti, tako kot v evropski sosedski politiki.
The European Union’s relations with Russia should be made subject to a conditionality principle, as is the case for the European Neighbourhood Policy.
V skladu s tem načelom sta poenostavitev vizumskega postopka in potovanje brez vizumov mogoča le ob upoštevanju načel demokracije in pravne države.
According to this principle, there can be no visa facilitation or visa-free travel without compliance with the rules of democracy and the rule of law.
V nasprotju z najnovejšim stališčem Parlamenta o pogajanjih in sklepanju mednarodnih sporazumov s tretjimi državami sporazum o poenostavitvi vizumskega postopka z Rusijo ne vključuje vzajemne "klavzule o demokratičnosti in spoštovanju človekovih pravic", katere kršitev bi lahko privedla do odložitve izvajanja sporazuma ali do njegove odpovedi.
In contrast with the European Parliament’s most recent position on the negotiation and conclusion of international agreements with third countries, the visa facilitation agreement with Russia does not include a reciprocal ‘human rights and democracy clause’, contravention of which may give rise to the suspension or denunciation of the agreement.
Parlament poudarja, da je v odstavku 8 Resolucije o človekovih pravicah in demokraciji v sporazumih EU ( 2005/2057(INI) ) pozval k "razširitvi klavzule o človekovih pravicah in demokraciji na vse nove sporazume med Evropsko unijo in tretjimi državami, tako industrijskimi kot v razvoju, vključno s sektorskimi sporazumi, trgovino in tehnično ali finančno pomočjo, kakor je bilo to izpeljano z državami AKP".
Parliament points out that paragraph 8 of its Resolution on the human rights and democracy clause in EU agreements ( 2005/2057(INI) ) states that the human rights and democracy clause should ‘be extended to all new agreements between the European Union and third countries, both industrialised and developing, and including sectoral agreements, trade and technical or financial aid, along the lines of what has been done with the ACP States’.
Za dosego dolgoročnega cilja, ki je potovanje brez vizumov med Evropsko unijo in Rusijo, bo treba upoštevati taisto načelo pogojnosti, ki ga vsebujejo sporazumi med EU in tretjimi državami v okviru sosedske politike.
The long-term objective of visa-free travel between the European Union and Russia will also have to comply with the same conditionality principle inherent in the neighbourhood agreements between the EU and third countries.
Čeprav Rusija ni vključena v to politiko, je Komisija v Sporočilu o odnosih z Rusijo (KOM(2004)106) že zapisala, da morajo biti ukrepi na tem področju skladni s sosedsko politiko EU in vključevati bistvene elemente te politike.
Even though Russia is not included in this policy, the Commission has already stated in its Communication on relations with Russia (COM(2004)106) that measures in this field should be ‘consistent with the EU’s neighbourhood policy and incorporate relevant elements of this policy’.
To načelo je mogoče zaslediti tudi v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 539/2001, ki za potovanje brez vizumov med EU in tretjimi državami predlaga metodo na osnovi regionalne skladnosti.
The same principle can be found in Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001, which proposes a method based on regional coherence for policy on visa-free travel between the EU and third countries.
Pripravljavec mnenja meni, da je sklenitev sporazuma med Evropsko skupnostjo in Rusko federacijo o poenostavitvi izdajanja vizumov za kratkoročno bivanje, ki sovpada s sklenitvijo sporazuma o ponovnem sprejemu, korak naprej pri oblikovanju skupnega območja svobode, varnosti in pravice v okviru strateškega partnerstva med EU in Rusijo.
Your draftsman believes that the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation on the facilitation of issuance of short-stay visas, in parallel to the readmission agreement, demonstrates a step forward in completing the Common Space of Freedom, Security and Justice within the strategic partnership between the EU and Russia.
Sporazum prinaša koristi tako za EU kot za Rusijo, zlasti ker temelji na vzajemnosti in na številnih področjih prinaša pravno zavezujoča pravila, vključno s trajanjem postopkov obravnavanja prošenj za izdajo vizuma.
The agreement brings some benefits for both the EU and Russia, in particular as it is based on reciprocity and creates legally binding rules in a number of areas, including the length of procedures for processing visa applications.
Poleg tega predvideva omejitve glede zahtevanih dokumentarnih dokazil o namenu potovanja, uskladitev taks za vizume in poenostavljena pravila pri izdajanju vizumov za večkratni vstop za večje število kategorij, med njimi študente, diplomate, poslovneže in novinarje.
Additionally, it foresees limits to the required documentary evidence regarding the purpose of the journey, alignment of visa fees and simplified criteria for issuing multiple-entry visas for broad classes of people, including students, diplomats, business people and journalists.
Vseeno je pripravljavec mnenja prepričan, da bi bilo treba obseg sporazuma razširiti na pomembna vprašanja, kot so na primer zavrnitev izdaje vizuma, priznavanje potnih listin, dokazila o zadostnih sredstvih za preživljanje ter zavrnitev vstopa in ukrepi izgona.
However, your draftsman believes that the scope of the Agreement should be extended to cover other very important issues, such as refusals to issue a visa, the recognition of travel documents, proving sufficient means of subsistence and refusal of entry and expulsion measures.
Upa, da bo Komisija na ta vprašanja opozorila v skupnem odboru za upravljanje sporazuma.
He hopes that these topics could be raised by the Commission in the Joint Committee for management of the Agreement.
Glede na kompleksni značaj problematike izdajanja vizumov med EU in Rusko federacijo, kot je primer izgona novinarjev, pripravljavec mnenja meni, da bi bilo pametno imenovati varuha človekovih pravic, ki bi sprejemal pritožbe državljanov v zvezi z vizumi in bi predsedoval skupnemu odboru.
In view of the complexity of the visa issues between the EU and the Russian Federation, such as those relating to the expulsion of journalists, the draftsperson considers it desirable to establish the post of an Ombudsman, who would receive citizens' complaints on visa decisions and who would also chair the Joint Committee.
Dve najresnejši oviri za potovanje v Rusijo in znotraj te države sta zahteva po povabilu in obvezni okorni registracijski postopek, ki velja za vse vrste ruskih vizumov.
Two of the most serious obstacles to travel to and within Russia are the requirement of invitations and the mandatory cumbersome registration procedure that all types of Russian visas are subject to.
Tako ruska stran kot EU si bosta morali zelo prizadevati za ustrezno rešitev tega vprašanja, če želimo resnično omogočiti lažje gibanje ljudi med državami.
Particularly serious efforts on both the Russian and EU sides are needed to make further efforts to find a solution if a real facilitation of the movement of people between countries is to be achieved.
Opozoriti velja še na težave, s katerimi se pri pridobivanju in podaljševanju ruskih vizumov v zadnjih letih srečujejo tuji novinarji, duhovniki, misijonarji in člani organizacij civilne družbe.
It must be also noted that foreign journalists, clergy, missionaries, and members of civil society organisations have faced difficulties in obtaining and renewing visas for Russia over the last years.
Pri tem najbolj izstopa primer dopisnika švedske javne televizije SVZ Berta Sundströma, ki mu ruske oblasti niso želele podaljšati akreditacije in delovne vize, zaradi česar se je bil prisiljen 3. septembra 2005 vrniti v Stockholm.
The refusal of the Russian authorities to renew the accreditation and working visa of Bert Sundström, a correspondent for the Swedish public television station SVT, forcing him to return to Stockholm on 3 September 2005, stands out particularly in this context.
Dalje se zdi skrajno neprimerno, da je treba pri potovanju v nekatere ruske regije, kot denimo v republiko Čečenijo ali določene dele vzhodne Rusije in Sibirije, pridobiti dodatna dovoljenja ali plačati dodatne pristojbine, medtem ko schengenski vizum EU omogoča nemoteno potovanje.
Furthermore, it is highly inappropriate that travel to certain regions of Russia is subject to an additional permit or additional fees, such as travel to the Chechen Republic or some parts of Eastern Russia and Siberia, whereas an EU Schengen visa allows unrestricted travel.
Po mnenju pripravljavca mnenja je odločitev ruske tajne policije FSB, da podobno kot v časih Sovjetske zveze po podpisu sporazuma o poenostavitvi izdajanja vizumov vzpostavi obmejno območje z omejenim dostopom za tujce, v nasprotju z duhom sporazuma.
Your draftsperson believes that in particular the decision by the Russian security police FSB to set up a Soviet-style border zone with restricted access for foreigners after the signature of the visa facilitation agreement runs contrary to the spirit of the Agreement.
Pripravljavec mnenja želi tudi izraziti zaskrbljenost nad možnostjo izrabe sporazuma v namene tihega priznavanja separatističnih teženj, s katerimi bi bila kršena ozemeljska celovitost Gruzije.
Furthermore, your draftsperson is concerned that the Agreement could be used as an implicit recognition of separatist tendencies violating the territorial integrity of Georgia.
