Poročilo obravnava primere, kot so prodaja pod nabavno ceno, grožnje z umikom s prodajnih polic, posebne takse za umestitev nekaterih živilskih blagovnih znamk na police supermarketov in druge dajatve, zaračunavanje uvrstitve v ponudbo, retroaktivni popusti na že prodano blago, neupravičeno visoki prispevki za stroške maloprodajnega oglaševanja ali zahteve po ekskluzivni dobav.
Instances such as under the cost selling, threats of delisting, special supermarket taxes for putting certain brands of food on the shelves, listing charges, slotting allowances, retroactive discounts on goods already sold or unjustified high contributions to retailer promotion expenses or insistence on exclusive supply are all addressed in the report.
Za vsako od teh praks poročevalka zahteva usklajeno evropsko in nacionalno ukrepanje ter specifične preprečevalne ukrepe.
For each of these practices, the rapporteur demands coordinated European and national action and specific counteracting measures.
Poročilo poudarja tudi učinke koncentracije trgovcev na drobno in njihovih cenovnih vojn na zaposlovanje v sektorju kmetijstva in proizvodnje zaradi hude konkurence pri zniževanju stroškov dela ali deregulacije odpiralnega časa in dela ob koncu tedna.
Furthermore, the report underlines the effects concentration and price wars among big retailers have on employment in the agricultural and producer sectors, through severe cost cutting competition and reductions in labour costs or deregulation of opening hours or week-end work.
Ugotovljeno je tudi, da posledica agresivne cenovne konkurence slabša kvaliteta proizvodov, zlasti nižja hranilna vrednost, in motnje v proizvodnji sezonskega sadja in zelenjave.
Aggressive price competition has also been found to have lead to poorer product quality, with a lesser nutritional value of products, as well as to a disruption in the production of seasonal fruit and vegetables.
Koncentracija trga lahko sicer kratkoročno vodi v nižje cene hrane, vendar lahko ima tudi negativne srednjeročne in dolgoročne učinke, saj škoduje svobodni konkurenci ter mala podjetja in neposredne proizvajalce izrinja s trga.
While admittedly market concentration can lead to lower price levels for food, this can also bear negative effects on the medium and long term, by damaging free competition and driving small businesses as well as direct producers out of the market.
Poročevalka zato poudarja, da so mnoga mala in srednja podjetja v sektorju prehrane izredno ranljiva, zlasti če so večinoma odvisna od ene velike trgovine na drobno.
Therefore, the rapporteur stresses the fact that many SMEs in the food sector are extremely vulnerable especially if they are largely dependent on a large retail store.
Trgovci na drobno namreč pogosto več malih dobaviteljev prisilijo v tekmovanje, kdo bo ponudil najnižjo ceno, ti pa morajo za obstanek na trgu zniževati stroške in dobiček.
This is because retailers often employ race to the bottom price competitions between several small suppliers, who in order to stay in business need to cut costs and profit margins.
Poleg tega na odločitve kmetov o tem, kaj bodo proizvajali, glede na reformo skupne kmetijske politike in zlasti ločevanje, vedno bolj vplivajo namigi iz maloprodajnega sektorja v obliki cen in povpraševanja in vedno manj evropske in nacionalne kmetijske politike.
Moreover, in the context of the CAP reform and in particular decoupling, farmers' decisions on what to produce are more and more influenced by signals coming from the retail sector in terms of prices and demand, than by European and national agricultural policies.
Poročevalka poziva Evropsko komisijo, naj sproži preiskavo o špekuliranju s hrano.
Lastly, the report also deals with the issue of increased speculation with food as a tradable commodity.
Poleg tega od Komsijine skupine na visoki ravni za konkurenčnost agroživilske industrije pričakuje sprejetje učinkovitih ukrepov za spopadanje z neravnovesjem na živilskem trgu.
The European Commission is called upon to launch an investigation on food speculation; furthermore, the rapporteur wishes to see effective measures being put forward by the Commission High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the agri-food industry to address the imbalances in the food market.
EVROPSKI ODZIVI
EUROPEAN RESPONSES
Poročevalka predlaga, naj evropske institucije izvedejo dva sklopa ukrepov: prvi sklop bo odziv na prej opisane pomanjkljivosti na trgu, drugi pa bo podal ukrepe, namenjene aktivnemu spodbujanju neposrednih stikov med potrošniki in proizvajalci.
The rapporteur proposes a twofold set of measures to be undertaken by European institutions: one is reactive to the market imperfections described above and the other puts forward measures designed to proactively promote direct consumer-producer relations.
Reaktiven evropski odziv:
Reactive European response:
Reaktiven evropski odziv sestavljajo ukrepi, namenjeni doseganju večje preglednosti, boljše ureditve trga in učinkovitejšega sistema za spremljanje stroškov in cen.
The reactive European response consists of measures designed to achieve greater transparency, better regulation of the market and a more effective cost and price monitoring system.
Da bi dosegli večjo preglednost cenovne strukture in stopenj dobička pri trgovcih na drobno, predelovalcih in primarnih proizvajalcih, poročevalka poziva organe za varstvo konkurence na nacionalni in evropski ravni, naj raziščejo in ocenijo maloprodajne cene po vsej EU, da bi zagotovili ustrezno spoštovanje konkurence v vsej Skupnosti.
In order to achieve greater transparency of the pricing structure and profit margins of retailers, processors and primary producers, the rapporteur calls on the existing competition authorities at national and European levels to investigate and evaluate consumer prices throughout the EU to ensure that adequate competition is respected throughout the Community.
Med konkretnimi ukrepi za dosego tega cilja so:
Among the concrete measures proposed to this aim:
· vseevropska baza podatkov, ki bi bila državljanom lahko dostopna in bi navajala cene proizvodov po vsej Evropi;
· A European wide data base easily accessible to citizens with reference price lists of products from all across Europe;
· delovna skupina za živilsko preskrbovalno verigo pri Komisiji, ki bi sodelovala z nacionalnimi organi za varstvo konkurence;
· A Commission task force on the food supply chain, working together with national competition authorities;
· zelena knjiga o problematiki tržne moči velikih trgovcev na drobno, ki naj jo pripravi Evropska komisija;
· European Commission to launch a Green Paper on the issue of the buying power of large retailers;
· boljše informacije za potrošnike in prizadevanja za njihovo izobraževanje in ustrezno informiranje;
· Better information to consumers and efforts towards educating and correctly informing the consumer;
· ustanovitev evropske svetovalne službe za proizvajalce živil, ki bi organizacijam kmetov in proizvajalcev svetovala o distribuciji proizvodov, maloprodajnem trgu in možnostih proizvodnje specifičnih proizvodov;
· A European Food Producer Consulting Service giving advice to farmers and producer organizations on product distribution, the retail market and opportunities for the production of specific products;
· okrepitev vloge evropskih centrov za varstvo potrošnikov, ki so že ustanovljeni v večini držav članic; mreža evropskih centrov za varstvo potrošnikov bi morala dobiti več pristojnosti in proračun, ki bi bil bolj skladen z njenimi dejavnostmi;
· The reinforcement of the role of the European Consumer Centres already existing in almost all member states; the ECC network should be endowed with more attributions and a budget more consistent with its actions;
· vzpostavitev telefonske linije za pomoč potrošnikom in kmetijskim proizvajalcem, kjer bi lahko prijavili zlorabe in kjer bi bile na voljo informacije o primerljivih proizvodih in cenah po vsej EU, v okviru nacionalnih evropskih centrov za varstvo potrošnikov;
· A telephone hotline for consumers and agricultural producers, where they can report instances of abuse and where information on comparable products and prices from across the EU could be made available, to be established and function within national European Consumer Centres;
· pozdravlja se vzpostavitev preglednice stanja trgov za potrošnike;
· Welcomes the introduction of the Consumer Market Scoreboard;
· vzpostavitev mednarodnega opazovalnega centra za kmetijske proizvode, proizvodne stroške in cene hrane za boljše spremljanje teh podatkov v sodelovanju z Organizacijo za prehrano in kmetijstvo ;
· The instatement in cooperation with the FAO of an international observatory of agricultural product prices, of input prices and of food prices in order to better monitor this data;
Poročevalka si v zvezi s prizadevanji za boljše spremljanje želi vzpostavitve evropskega sistema za spremljanje trga, ki bo zaznal spremembe, cenovne trende in vhodne stroške.
With regards to better monitoring efforts, the rapporteur wishes to see in place a European System of monitoring of the market, able to register changes and price tendencies and the cost of inputs.
Sistem bi moral zagotavljati preglednost in dopuščati čezmejne primerjave, biti vzpostavljen v tesnem sodelovanju z Eurostatom in delovati v tesni povezavi z mrežo evropskih centrov za varstvo potrošnikov.
This system should assure transparency and permit cross-border comparisons between similar products and should be established in close cooperation with Eurostat, as well as work closely with the network of European Consumer Centres (ECC).
Na koncu poročevalka Komisijo poziva, naj izvede analizo, spodbuja načine za zmanjšanje vloge posrednikov pri oblikovanju cen in izboljša neposreden dostop evropskih kmetov na trg.
Lastly, the rapporteur also invites the Commission to launch an analysis and promote measures to reduce the role of intermediaries in price formation and to improve the direct access of European farmers to the market.
Proaktiven evropski odziv
Proactive European response
S proaktivnim evropskim odzivom je mišljen sklop ukrepov, namenjenih lajšanju neposrednega dostopa kmetijskih proizvajalcev na trg in njihovega neposrednega stika s potrošniki.
What is meant by a proactive European response is a set of measures designed to facilitate the direct access and contact between the agricultural producer and the consumer.
Poročevalka meni, da na ta način proizvajalci dobijo pomembnejšo vlogo na trgu, saj se zmanjša moč posrednikov in velikih trgovcev na drobno, hkrati pa se potrošnikom ponudi boljša in širša izbira proizvodov.
The rapporteur believes this can provide producers with a greater role on the market, by eliminating the power of the intermediaries and large retailers, while at the same time offering consumers a better and wider choice of products.
Med najpomembnejšimi predlaganimi ukrepi je uporaba novih tehnologij in interneta .
Among the measures proposed, the use of new technologies and the internet is among the most important.
Poročevalka meni, da se lahko z uporabo novih tehnologij zagotovi več informacij o izvoru, ceni in značilnostih različnih vrst kmetijskih in živilskih proizvodov.
The rapporteur believes new technologies can be used to provide more information about the place, price and characteristics of the different varieties of the agricultural and food products.
V ta namen poročevalka predlaga, da se sredstva iz programov za razvoj podeželja, pa tudi sredstva iz skladov za varstvo konkurence ter kohezijskega sklada uporabijo za lajšanje dostopa proizvajalcev do trga z uporabo modernih tehnologij in interneta.
To this aim, the rapporteur proposes that funds under rural development programmes, but also competitiveness and cohesion funds should be made available in order to facilitate producer access to the market through modern technology and the internet.
Poročevalka poziva tudi k sprejetju ukrepov, ki bodo pospešili uveljavljanje pojma „lokalna živila“ , ter k večji podpori tradicionalnim živilskim tržnicam.
Moreover, the rapporteur demands for measures to be put in place that give more impetus to the concept of " local foods ", as well as more support for traditional food markets.
Potrebna je okrepitev politik Evropske unije za zaščito označb porekla in geografskih označb ter drugih oblik certificiranja.
A reinforcement of European Union policies for the protection of origin and geographical indications and other certifications is called for.
S tem v zvezi poročevalka pozdravlja razpravo, ki jo je sprožila objava zelene knjige o kakovosti hrane 15. oktobra 2008.
The rapporteur salutes in this respect the debate launched on October 15th through the release of the Commission Green Paper on Food Quality.

– having regard to the report of the Committee on Regional Development and the opinion of the Committee on Budgets ( A6‑0095/2009 ),
A. ker sodi kohezijska politika v Evropski uniji med najpomembnejša področja politike, ne le v smislu finančnih sredstev, ampak predvsem zato, ker je ključni steber v procesu evropskega povezovanja, ter zaradi njenega pomena za socialno, ekonomsko in teritorialno kohezijo Evropske unije ter za razvoj skupno 268 regij, s čimer se zmanjšujejo razvojni zaostanki in razlike ter izboljšuje življenje vseh državljanov EU,
A. whereas cohesion policy is among the most important policy areas in the European Union, not only in terms of its budget but also and in particular because it is an essential pillar in the process of European integration and owing to its importance for the social, economic and territorial cohesion of the European Union and the development of its 268 regions, reducing development deficits and disparities and improving life for all EU citizens.
B. ker se regije v Evropski uniji soočajo z dokaj podobnimi izzivi, čeprav se njihov vpliv od regije do regije močno razlikuje glede na posebnosti v zvezi z njihovimi značilnostmi (npr. otoške ali gorske regije) in prebivalstvom: soočajo se z globalizacijo in z njo povezanim pospešenim gospodarskim prestrukturiranjem, odpiranjem trgovinskih odnosov, posledicami tehnološke revolucije in podnebnih sprememb, razvojem na znanju temelječega gospodarstva, demografskimi spremembami, upadanjem prebivalstva ter povečanim priseljevanjem,
B. whereas the regions of the European Union are confronted with broadly similar challenges, though their impact differs greatly from region to region, given their specificities as regards their character (for example, island or mountain regions) and population: globalisation and the accelerated economic restructuring that goes with it, the opening up of trade relations, the consequences of the technological revolution, and climate change, the development of the knowledge-based economy, demographic change, depopulation and the rise in immigration.
C. ker se najboljši rezultati, ki povečujejo obseg znanja in izboljšujejo konkurenčnost, pri projektih pogosto dosežejo s sodelovanjem med javnim sektorjem, podjetji, izobraževalnim sektorjem in lokalnimi interesnimi skupinami,
C. whereas the best results, strengthening the knowledge base and improving competition, are often achieved in projects by means of cooperation between the public sector, businesses, the education sector and local stakeholders,
D. ker kohezijska politika spričo izzivov ne more v polnosti razviti svojega potenciala, da bi premagala te izzive, saj se potencialni prosilci za pomoč srečujejo z velikimi ovirami pri uporabi strukturnih sredstev Evropske unije, kot so:
D. whereas cohesion policy cannot develop its full potential to meet these challenges since potential applicants for aid are faced with major obstacles in relation to utilising the European Union’s structural funds, including:
- velike birokratske ovire,
- excessive bureaucracy
- preštevilni in prezapleteni pravilniki, ki so v nekaterih primerih na voljo samo na spletu, kar številnim morebitnim upravičencem skladov onemogoča dostop do teh virov,
- too many complex regulations, which in certain cases are available on‑line only, thereby excluding many potential beneficiaries of these funds from access to these resources
- pogosto spreminjanje meril za upravičenost in zahtevane dokumentacije v nekaterih državah članicah,
- frequent modification, by certain Member States, of eligibility criteria and requisite documentation;
- nepreglednost postopkov odločanja in sistemov sofinanciranja ter zamude pri plačilih,
- lack of transparency in decision-making processes and co-financing schemes and delays in payments
- počasna in okorna centralno vodena uprava držav članic in uporaba pravil na način, ki povečuje birokracijo ter povzroča slabo zagotavljanje informacij,
- slow and cumbersome centrally managed administration in Member States and the application of rules in a way which adds to the existing bureaucracy, and leads to inadequate provision of information,
- neprimerna decentralizirana upravna zmogljivost in različni modeli regionalne uprave v državah članicah, zaradi česar ni primerljivih podatkov in izmenjave najboljše prakse,
- inadequate decentralised administrative capacity and different models of regional administration in Member States, which prevent the existence of comparative data and the exchange of best practices
- zelo majhne možnosti medregionalnega usklajevanja,
- inadequate arrangements for interregional coordination,
- neobstoj delujočega sistema sodelovanja med nacionalnimi, regionalnimi in lokalnimi organi,
- lack of a functioning cooperation scheme between national, regional and local authorities,
E. ker kar nekaj sedanjih nepravilnosti na področju kohezijske politike izhaja iz teh obstoječih ovir,
E. whereas a number of the current errors in the field of cohesion policy can be traced back to these existing obstacles,
F. ker so zamude pri izvajanju strukturne politike delno nastale zaradi prestrogih postopkov in bi bilo zato treba razmisliti o njihovi poenostavitvi ter jasni razdelitvi odgovornosti in pristojnosti med Evropsko unijo, državami članicami ter regionalnimi in lokalnimi oblastmi,
F. whereas the delays in implementing structural policy are due in part to the excessive rigidity of procedures and that, consequently, consideration should be given to simplifying those procedures and clearly dividing responsibilities and competences among the EU, the Member States and regional and local authorities,
2. poudarja potrebo po poenostavitvi postopkov, ki urejajo izvajanje projektov in programov strukturnih skladov, še posebej glede upravljavskih in kontrolnih sistemov; zato v zvezi s tem pozdravlja revizijo zakonodajnega svežnja o strukturnih skladih kot odgovor na sedanjo finančno krizo; nestrpno pričakuje nadaljnje predloge Komisije na tem področju, ki jih bo objavila v naslednjih nekaj mesecih;
Points to the need to simplify the procedures governing the implementation of Structural Funds projects and programmes, particularly as regards management and control systems; welcomes, therefore, in this regard, the regulatory revision of the Structural Funds package in response to the current financial crisis; eagerly awaits the further Commission proposals in this area, to be announced within the next few months.
Odprava ovir
Removal of obstacles
- dolgoročno zastavi merila za ocenjevanje projektov, ki se sofinancirajo s sredstvi iz strukturnih skladov Evropske unije,
- to gear the evaluation criteria for projects co-financed by the structural funds of the European Union to the long term,
- inovativnih projektov ne ocenjuje po istih merilih kot druge projekte, temveč zanje pripravi posebna merila ocenjevanja, ki so prilagojena inovativni naravi projektov in v bistvu dopuščajo višjo stopnjo napak,
- not to assess innovative projects using the same evaluation criteria as apply to other types of projects, but to develop specific evaluation criteria - tailored to the innovative nature of the projects - that in essence allow for a higher failure rate,
- najdaljši rok, do katerega je treba za primer kontrole Komisije hraniti projektno dokumentacijo, s sedanjih desetih let skrajša na tri leta,
- to reduce the maximum period for which project documents must be stored, for the purposes of monitoring by the Commission, from the current ten years to three years,
- pripravi posebne ukrepe politike in nove kakovostne kazalnike za regije s posebnimi geografskimi značilnostmi, kot so gorate in redko poseljene regije ter najbolj oddaljene, mejne in otoške regije, in skladno s tem prilagodi ozemeljsko raven za posege politike z namenom spodbujanja teritorialne kohezije Evropske unije,
- to draw up special policy measures and new qualitative indicators for regions with specific geographical characteristics, such as mountainous and sparsely populated regions, and the outermost , border and island regions, and accordingly to adapt the territorial scale of policy interventions, with the aim of promoting territorial cohesion in the European Union;
