A. whereas the Commission communication constitutes a formal first step towards responding to the European Parliament's call for the formulation of an EU Arctic policy; whereas the Council Conclusions on Arctic Issues should be recognised as a further step in the definition of an EU policy on the Arctic,
B. ker Evropski parlament dejavno sodeluje v stalnem odboru poslancev arktične regije prek delegacije za odnose s Švico, Islandijo in Norveško že približno dve desetletji, vrhunec tega delovanja pa predstavlja konferenca poslancev arktične regije, ki jo je organiziral septembra 2010 v Bruslju,
B. whereas the European Parliament has been an active participant in the work of the Standing Committee of Arctic Parliamentarians through its Delegation for relations with Switzerland, Iceland and Norway for a period of some two decades, culminating in the hosting of the full Conference of the Parliamentarians of the Arctic in Brussels in September 2010,
C. ker so Danska, Finska in Švedska arktične države ter ker sta Finska in Švedska delno znotraj polarnega kroga; ker edino avtohtono ljudstvo EU, Samiji, živijo v arktični regiji na Finskem in Švedskem, pa tudi na Norveškem in v Rusiji,
C. whereas Denmark, Finland and Sweden are Arctic countries and both Finland and Sweden are partially located within the Arctic Circle; whereas the EU's only indigenous people, the Sami people, live in the Arctic regions of Finland and Sweden as well as Norway and Russia,
D. ker bo morala EU zaradi vloge Islandije za članstvo v EU v svoji geopolitični perspektivi bolj upoštevati arktično regijo,
D. whereas Iceland’s application to join the EU will increase the need for the EU to take account of the Arctic region in its geopolitical perspective,
E. ker je Norveška zanesljiv partner in je z EU povezana prek sporazuma EGP,
E. whereas Norway, a reliable partner, is associated with the EU through the EEA Agreement,
F. ker je EU na Arktiki prisotna že dlje časa zaradi sodelovanja v skupni politiki severne dimenzije z Rusijo, Norveško in Islandijo, vključno z njenim arktičnim oknom, sodelovanja v Barentsovem svetu in zlasti v Svetu Barentsove evro-arktične regije, posledic strateških partnerstev s Kanado, Združenimi državami Amerike in Rusijo ter njenega sodelovanja kot aktivna ad hoc opazovalka v Arktičnem svetu;
F. whereas there has been a longstanding engagement of the EU in the Arctic by way of its involvement in the Common Northern Dimension Policy with Russia, Norway and Iceland, including its Arctic Window, in the Barents cooperation and particularly in the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the implications of the strategic partnerships with Canada, the United States and Russia and its participation as an active ad hoc observer in the AC,
G. ker mora postopno oblikovanje politike EU za Arktiko temeljiti na priznavanju veljavnih mednarodnih, večstranskih in dvostranskih pravnih okvirov, na primer izčrpnega niza predpisov iz Konvencije ZN o pomorskem pravu, in več sektorskih, dvostranskih in večstranskih sporazumov, ki že urejajo določena vprašanja, pomembna za Arktiko,
G. whereas the gradual formulation of an EU policy on the Arctic should be based on the recognition of the existing international, multilateral and bilateral legal frameworks such as the comprehensive set of rules laid down in UNCLOS and several sectoral, bilateral and multilateral agreements which already regulate certain issues of importance to the Arctic,
H. ker EU in njene države članice veliko prispevajo k raziskavam na Arktiki in ker programi EU, vključno s sedanjim sedmim okvirnim programom, podpirajo glavne raziskovalne projekte v regiji,
H. whereas the EU and its Member States make a major contribution to research in the Arctic and whereas EU programmes, including the current Seventh Framework Programme, support major research projects in the region,
I. ker ocenjujejo, da je približno petina neodkrite svetovne zaloge ogljikovodikov v arktični regiji, čeprav bi bilo treba z bolj poglobljenimi raziskavami natančneje opredeliti, koliko plina in nafte je v regiji in ali bi bilo izkoriščanje teh rezerv ekonomsko upravičeno,
I. whereas it is estimated that about a fifth of the world’s undiscovered hydrocarbon resources are located in the Arctic region, although more extensive research is needed to establish more accurately how much gas and oil there is in the region and how economically viable it would be to exploit these reserves,
J. ker po svetu vlada veliko zanimanje tudi za druge obnovljive in neobnovljive arktične vire, kot so minerali, gozdovi, ribe in neokrnjena narava za turizem,
J. whereas there is also strong global interest in other Arctic renewable and non-renewable resources such as minerals, forests, fish and pristine landscapes for tourism,
K. ker se tudi akterji, ki ne prihajajo z Arktike, vedno bolj zanimajo za to regijo, na primer Kitajska, ki je naročila prvi ledolomilec in dodelila sredstva za raziskave v polarnem območju, nenazadnje pa se Južna Koreja, Kitajska, Italija, EU, Japonska in Singapur prav tako potegujejo za status stalnih opazovalk v Arktičnem svetu, kar nakazuje, da se geopolitično dojemanje Arktike v svetovnem merilu spreminja,
K. whereas the growing interest in the Arctic region of other non-Arctic actors such as China, illustrated by China's commissioning of a first icebreaker, their allocation of funding to polar research and not least the applications by South Korea, China, Italy, the EU, Japan and Singapore for status as permanent observers at the AC, indicates a different geopolitical appreciation of the Arctic on a larger scale,
L. ker je nedavno oblikovana samouprava Grenlandije na področju zadevnih politik, kot so okoljska zakonodaja in viri, ter nedavna posodobitev sporazuma o partnerstvu med EU in Grenlandijo prispevala k večjemu zanimanju za raziskovanje in izkoriščanje virov na Grenlandiji in v njenem epikontinentalnem pasu,
L. whereas the recently established self-government in Greenland with regard to relevant policy areas including environmental legislation and resources and the recent update of the EU-Greenland Partnership Agreement has led to an increased interest in the exploration and exploitation of resources in Greenland and on its Continental shelf,
M. ker bodo regijo prizadele posledice podnebnih sprememb, katerih izvor je povečini zunaj Arktike ter globalizacija svetovnega gospodarstva; ker bodo predvsem umikanje morskega ledu ter možnosti glede virov in morebitna uporaba novih tehnologij najverjetneje imeli nepredvidene okoljske posledice in učinke na drugih delih planeta ter povečali ladijski promet, zlasti med Evropo, Azijo in Severno Ameriko, preučevanje in izkoriščanje naravnih virov, predvsem plina, nafte in drugih mineralov, pa tudi naravnih virov, kot so ribe, izkoriščanje morskih genetskih virov, povzročili povečanje rudarske in gozdarske dejavnosti ter porast turizma in raziskovalnih dejavnosti; ker bodo te posledice Arktiko in preostali svet postavile pred nove izzive, a jima bodo ponudile tudi nove priložnosti,
M. whereas the effects of climate change mainly originating from outside the Arctic and the globalisation of the world economy will impact the region; whereas in particular the retreat of the sea ice, as well as the potential for resources and the possible use of new technologies, is likely to produce unforeseeable environmental effects and repercussions in other parts of the planet as well as an increase in shipping in particular between Europe, Asia and North America, in exploration and exploitation of natural resources, namely gas, oil and other minerals but also natural resources such as fish, and exploitation of marine genetic resources, increased mining and logging activities and increased tourism and research activities; whereas those effects will produce new challenges but also new opportunities in the Arctic and elsewhere,
N. ker se podnebne spremembe upravljajo z metodami za spremljanje, blaženje in prilagajanja; ker se spodbujanje trajnostnega razvoja pri uporabi naravnih virov in gradnji nove infrastrukture upravlja v okviru procesov strateškega načrtovanja,
N. whereas climate change is managed by monitoring, mitigation and adaptation methods; whereas the promotion of sustainable development in using natural resources and in building new infrastructures is managed by strategic planning processes,
3. poudarja, da nekatere za Arktiko pomembne politike, na primer ohranjanje morskih bioloških virov v okviru skupne ribiške politike, sodijo v izključno pristojnost Unije, za druge pa so delno pristojne države članice;
Underlines that certain policies that are relevant to the Arctic are exclusive Union competences, such as the conservation of marine biological resources under the common fisheries policy, others partly shared with Member States;
7. poudarja pomen sodelovanja z arktičnimi skupnostmi in podpiranja programov za vzpostavitev zmogljivosti, da se poveča kakovost življenja avtohtonih in lokalnih skupnosti v regiji ter izboljša razumevanje življenjskih pogojev in kulture teh skupnosti; poziva EU, naj spodbuja intenzivnejši dialog z avtohtonimi ljudstvi in lokalnimi prebivalci Arktike;

Nove svetovne prometne poti
New world transport routes
11. predlaga, da se v rezultate delovne pobude Arktičnega sveta za iskanje in reševanje vključi tudi nearktične pomorske države, ki uporabljajo Arktični ocean; zato priporoča Komisiji in Svetu, naj v sodelovanju z Evropsko agencijo za pomorsko varnost uskladita politike EU in držav članic na tem področju v okviru ILO, Arktičnega sveta in drugih organizacij;
Suggests that important non-Arctic shipping nations using the Arctic Ocean should be included in the results of the Search and Rescue Work Initiative of the AC; therefore recommends that the Commission and the Council, together with the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), coordinate EU and Member States’ policies in that particular field in the IMO, the AC and other organisations;
14. poziva države te regije, naj zagotovijo, da bodo vse sedanje in morebitne prihodnje prometne poti na voljo za mednarodni ladijski promet, in naj ne uvajajo nikakršnih enostranskih in samovoljnih bremen, ne finančnih ne upravnih, ki bi otežila pomorski promet v arktični regiji, razen mednarodno dogovorjenih ukrepov, namenjenih večji varnosti ali zaščiti okolja;
Calls on the States in the region to ensure that any current transport routes – and those that may emerge in the future – are open to international shipping and to refrain from introducing any unilateral arbitrary burdens, be they financial or administrative, that could hinder shipping in the Arctic, other than internationally agreed measures aimed at increasing security or protection of the environment;
Naravni viri
Natural resources
16. poudarja, da bodo presoja vplivov na okolje ter postopki presoje strateških in družbenih vplivov glavna orodja pri upravljanju konkretnih projektov in programov na Arktiki; opozarja na Direktivo 2001/42/ES
Highlights the fact that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as well as strategic and social impact assessment processes will be central tools in the management of concrete projects and programmes in the Arctic; draws attention to Directive 2001/42/EC
30. o strateški presoji vplivov na okolje in na dejstvo, da so Finska, Švedska in Norveška ratificirale Konvencijo UN/ECE o presoji čezmejnih vplivov na okolje (konvencijo iz Espooja), kar bo omogočilo dobro podlago za dejavno spodbujanje postopkov presoje vplivov na Arktiki; v zvezi s tem se sklicuje na izjavo iz Bergna, ki je bila podana na sestanku ministrov Komisije OSPAR 23. in 24. septembra 2010;
30. on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and to the fact that Finland, Sweden and Norway have ratified the UNECE Convention on EIA in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention), which will provide a good basis for the active promotion of impact assessment procedures in the Arctic; refers in this regard also to the Bergen Statement issued by the Ministerial Meeting of the OSPAR Commission of 23 and 24 September 2010;
20. se zaveda različnih razlag glede uporabnosti pogodbe s Svalbarda/Spitsbergov v epikontinentalnih pasovih in pomorskih conah v okolici Svalbarda/Spitsbergov ter bi z ozirom na sorazmerno dobro dostopnost virov v epikontinentalnem pasu pozdravil sporazum o pravnem statusu epikontinentalnega pasu, s katerim bi opredelili pravice in obveznosti pomorskih držav v tem pasu; je prepričan, da se bodo morebitni spori reševali na konstruktiven način;
Is conscious of the different interpretations of the Svalbard/Spitsbergen Treaty with regard to its applicability to the continental shelf and the maritime zones of Svalbard/Spitsbergen, and, given the relatively good accessibility of resources in the continental shelf, would welcome an agreement on the legal status of the shelf acknowledging the legal rights and duties of the costal shelf states; is confident that any disputes which may arise will be dealt with in a constructive way;
22. vztraja pri tem, da je treba pred odprtjem novih ribolovnih območij v arktični regiji poskrbeti za zanesljivo in preventivno znanstveno oceno staleža rib, da se določi obseg ribolova, ki bo ohranil staleže rib in preprečil izkoreninjenje drugih vrst ter hudo škodo morskega okolja, in da mora kakršno koli ribištvo na odprtem morju regulirati regionalna organizacija za upravljanje ribištva, ki bo upoštevala nasvete strokovnjakov in vzpostavila stroge nadzorne programe za zagotovitev skladnosti z ukrepi upravljanja, iste standarde pa mora izpolnjevati tudi ribištvo v izključnih ekonomskih conah;
Insists that before any new commercial fisheries are opened in the Arctic region, reliable and precautionary scientific stock assessments must be conducted in order to determine levels of fishing that will conserve the targeted fish stocks and not lead to depletion of other species or to serious damage to the marine environment, and that any fishing on the high seas must be regulated by a Regional Fisheries Management Organisation that respects scientific advice and has a robust control and surveillance programme to ensure compliance with management measures, while fishing within Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) must meet the same standards;
24. priznava, da EU – enako kot druga razvita svetovna območja – znatno prispeva k podnebnim spremembam, zaradi česar nosi posebno odgovornost in mora imeti vodilno vlogo pri boju proti podnebnim spremembam;
Acknowledges that the EU, like other developed areas of the world, contributes substantially to climate change and hence bears special responsibility and must play a leading role in combating climate change;
27. je seznanjen z nesorazmerno velikim vplivom segrevanja Arktike, ki ga povzročajo emisije oglenih saj iz EU in drugih regij na severni polobli, in poudarja, da je treba emisije oglenih saj vključiti v ustrezne regulativne okvire ZN/ECE in EU, kot sta Konvencija o onesnaževanju zraka na velike razdalje preko meja in direktiva o nacionalnih zgornjih mejah emisij;
Recognises the disproportionately large Arctic warming impact caused by black carbon emissions from the EU and other regions in the northern hemisphere, and stresses the need for inclusion of black carbon emissions in the relevant UNECE and EU regulatory framework, such as the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution and the National Emissions Ceilings Directive;
30. poudarja pomembno vlogo, ki jo morajo odigrati EU in polarna ljudstva pri zmanjševanju onesnaževal, ki vstopajo v arktično regijo prek prevoza na dolge razdalje; v zvezi s tem poudarja, da je pomembno izvajati evropsko zakonodajo, na primer uredbo (ES) št. 1907/2006
Stresses the important role the EU and the circumpolar nations have to play in the reduction of pollution in the Arctic region caused by long-range transport, e.g. shipping; highlights in this respect the importance of the implementation of European legislation such as Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006

3. ; poudarja, da bodo podnebne spremembe na Arktiki močno vplivale na obalne regije v Evropi in drugod ter na panoge v Evropi, ki so odvisne od podnebja, kot so na primer kmetijstvo in ribištvo, obnovljivi viri energije, reja severnih jelenov, lov, turizem in promet;
3. ; points out that the climatic changes in the Arctic will have a major impact on coastal regions in Europe and elsewhere and on climate-dependent sectors in Europe such as agriculture and fisheries, renewable energy, reindeer herding, hunting, tourism and transport;
Trajnostni socialno-ekonomski razvoj
S ustainable socioeconomic development
32. poudarja, da je pomembno, da EU skupaj s predstavniki regij na tem območju razpravlja o pomembnosti strukturnih skladov za razvoj in sodelovanje, da bi se lahko soočili s prihodnjimi svetovnimi izzivi glede napredka in izkoristili razvojni potencial tega območja;
Underlines that it is important for the EU together with representatives of the regions in the area to discuss the importance of the Structural Funds for development and cooperation in order to face the future global challenges with a view to progress and to be able to seize the development potential of the area;

Convention for the Protection of the Maritime Environment of the North-East Atlantic. , the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC), CITES
44. meni, da vtis, ki ga dajejo nekatere opazovalke o t.i. bitki za Arktiko, ne prispeva k spodbujanju konstruktivnega razumevanja in sodelovanja v regiji; poudarja, da so arktične države ob več priložnostih razglasile pripravljenost odpraviti morebitno navzkrižje interesov v skladu z načeli mednarodnega prava in v nekaj primerih tudi delovale v tej smeri;
Believes that the impression given by some observers of a so-called scramble for the Arctic does not contribute to fostering a constructive understanding and cooperation in the region; points out that the Arctic States have on several occasions declared their commitment to resolve and in some cases have worked towards resolving possible conflicts of interests according to the principles of international law;
51. izraža upanje, da bo Arktični svet še razvijal svoje pomembno delo in razširil podlago za postopke oblikovanja odločitev, da bodo zajemali tudi akterje, ki niso z Arktike, a utrjujejo svojo prisotnost v arktični regiji, in da bodo vključevali njihovo znanje in sposobnosti ter upoštevali njihove upravičene interese v skladu z mednarodnim pravom, pri čemer pa je treba istočasno poudariti precej večji pomen interesov arktičnih držav; pozdravlja interni postopek Arktičnega sveta v zvezi s pregledom statusa opazovalk in morebitnim obsegom nalog Arktičnega sveta v prihodnosti;
Expresses its hope that the AC will further develop its important work and broaden the basis for decision-shaping processes to include other Arctic actors who are upgrading their presence in the Arctic region, and thus involve their knowledge and capacities and take into account their legitimate interests under international law, while at the same time the significantly greater importance of the interests of the Arctic States should be stressed; welcomes the internal procedure within the AC regarding a review of the status of observers and of the possible future scope of the tasks of the AC;
53. meni, da je severna dimenzija osrednja točka regionalnega sodelovanja v severni Evropi; ugotavlja, da so štiri partnerice, namreč EU, Islandija, Norveška in Ruska federacija, ter Arktični svet, Svet Barentsove evro-arktične regije, Svet baltskih držav, Nordijski svet ministrov, Evropska banka za obnovo in razvoj (EBRD), Evropska investicijska banka (EIB), Nordijska investicijska banka (NIB) in Svetovna banka (Mednarodna banka za obnovo in razvoj) udeleženci severne dimenzije in da imajo Kanada in Združene države Amerike status opazovalcev v severni dimenziji; poudarja potrebo po tesnem usklajevanju med politiko severne dimenzije in razvijajočo se politiko EU za Arktiko; je seznanjen z arktičnim oknom severne dimenzije; poudarja dragocene izkušnje partnerstev severne dimenzije, zlasti novo partnerstvo severne dimenzije za promet in logistiko ter njegove koristi za sodelovanje na Arktiki;
Regards the Northern Dimension as a focal point for regional cooperation in Northern Europe; notes that the four partners, namely the EU, Iceland, Norway and the Russian Federation, as well as the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the Council of the Baltic Sea States, the Nordic Council of Ministers, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and the World Bank (IBRD), are participants in the Northern Dimension and that both Canada and the United States hold observer status in the Northern Dimension; stresses the need for close alignment between the Northern Dimension policy and the EU's evolving Arctic policy; notes the Northern Dimension's Arctic Window; highlights the valuable experience of the Northern Dimension partnerships, particularly the new Northern Dimension Partnership on Transport and Logistics and its benefits for cooperation in the Arctic;
Zaključki in zahteve
Conclusions and requests
57. poziva Komisijo, naj pri pogajanjih o dvostranskih sporazumih upošteva dejstvo, da je treba zaščititi ranljivi arktični ekosistem, zavarovati interese prebivalcev Arktike, vključno s skupinami avtohtonih prebivalcev, in trajnostno uporabljati naravne arktične vire, ter poziva Komisijo, naj se teh načel drži pri vseh dejavnostih;
Calls on the Commission, in negotiating bilateral agreements, to take account of the fact that the sensitive Arctic ecosystem must be protected, the interests of the Arctic population, including its indigenous population groups, must be safeguarded and the natural resources of the Arctic must be used sustainably, and calls on the Commission to be guided by these principles in relation to all activities;
