A. ker je od razširitve Evropske unije leta 2004 Baltsko morje dejansko postalo njeno notranje morje, ki ne le povezuje države, ampak predstavlja tudi poseben izziv, in ker so države regije Baltskega morja v veliki meri soodvisne in se morajo spoprijemati s podobnimi izzivi,
A. whereas, since the enlargement of the European Union in 2004, the Baltic Sea has become the EU’s internal sea, which unites countries but also presents its own challenge, and whereas the countries of the Baltic Sea Region demonstrate interdependence and share the same problems,
B. ker je strategija za regijo Baltskega morja pilotni projekt za prihodnje strategije makroregij in ker bi lahko ob uspehu ta strategija služila kot model za izvajanje naslednjih strategij,
B. whereas, the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is a pilot for future macro-regional strategies, and the Strategy’s success can be a model for the way in which future strategies can be implemented,
C. ker lahko zamisel o oblikovanju funkcionalnih regij, zbranih okrog skupnih ciljev in razvojnih težav, pripomore k povečanju učinkovitosti regionalne politike Evropske unije,
C. whereas the idea of creating functional regions, focused around joint objectives and development problems, can lead to an increase in the effectiveness of EU regional policy,
D. ker je zaradi povečanja uspešnosti regionalne politike, zlasti z ozirom na njeno reformo po letu 2013, treba odločno podpreti in razvijati zamisel o celostnem pristopu in oblikovanje strategij za makroregije, veljavnih za celotno Evropsko unijo, pri čemer pa njihovo uvajanje ne sme privesti do renacionalizacije kohezijske politike,
D. whereas in order to increase the effectiveness of regional policy, in particular in terms of its post-2013 reform, the idea of an integrated approach should be supported and developed, together with the creation of strategies for macro-regions that are strategies for the whole of the European Union, the implementation of which must not, however, lead to the renationalisation of cohesion policy,
1. pozdravlja dejstvo, da je Evropska komisija sprejela in Evropski svet podprl strategijo za regijo Baltskega morja, ki jo je Parlament terjal od leta 2006;
Welcomes the approval of the European Commission and the support of the Council for the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, which Parliament has been calling for since 2006;
5. je prepričan, da novi okviri sodelovanja, predvideni s strategijo, ki temeljijo na načelih celostnega pristopa, odpirajo možnosti za smotrnejšo in učinkovitejšo uporabo finančnih sredstev, namenjenih za zaščito okolja in razvoj regije Baltskega morja, ki izvirajo iz skladov Unije in državnih proračunov ter različnih finančnih ustanov;
Believes that the establishment as part of the Strategy of a new framework for cooperation based on an integrated approach opens up the possibility for more rational and effective use of the financial resources available for environmental protection and the development of the Baltic Sea Region both from EU and national funds and from various financial institutions;
7. poudarja, da je takojšnje in dosledno izvajanje veljavnih zakonodajnih aktov EU, namenjenih krepitvi notranjega trga, kot je direktiva o storitvah, nujno za povečanje privlačnosti regije Baltskega morja kot gospodarskega območja;
Emphasises that the prompt and consistent implementation of existing EU legal acts designed to strengthen the internal market, such as the Services Directive, is necessary to increase the attractiveness of the Baltic Sea Region as an economic area;
9. ugotavlja, da je svetovna finančna in gospodarska kriza močno vplivala na vse države v regiji, zlasti baltske države; poziva vse zainteresirane strani, naj zaradi krize ne slabijo zavzetosti za strategijo EU za Baltsko morje;
Notes the deep impact the global financial and economic crisis has had on all countries in the region, in particular the Baltic States; calls on all stakeholders not to weaken their commitment to the EU Baltic Sea Strategy because of the crisis;
11. verjame, da bo ozemeljska razsežnost strategije pripomogla k dejanskemu razvoju ideje ozemeljski koheziji, ki jo Lizbonska pogodba umešča na isto raven kot ekonomsko in socialno kohezijo; ob upoštevanju tega poziva Komisijo, naj se vključi v dejavni dialog o vlogi in učinku makroregionalnih politik EU po letu 2013;
Believes that the Strategy’s territorial dimension will lead to the concrete development of the idea of territorial cohesion, which the Treaty of Lisbon places on an equal footing with economic and social cohesion, and with this in mind calls on the Commission to engage in active dialogue on the role and impact of EU macro-regional policies after 2013;
15. poudarja pomen nadaljnjega spodbujanja razvoja na področju kulture, izobraževanja, raziskav in inovacij ter države Evropske unije poziva k tesnejšemu sodelovanju zlasti na slednjem področju; priznava, da je na področju izobraževanja sodelovanje gotovo lahko izjemno koristno, vendar mora ostati v pristojnosti držav članic; priporoča krepitev strateškega pristopa in dolgoročnega načrtovanja v zvezi z makroregijami;
Emphasises the importance of promoting the development of culture, education and research and innovation as well as encouraging the Member States to enter into close cooperation particularly in the last-named area; recognises that in the area of education cooperation can certainly be highly beneficial, but that competence should remain with the Member States; recommends the strengthening of the strategic approach and long-term planning in respect of macro-regions;
18. meni, da makroregije združujejo potencial za optimizacijo odgovorov na izzive, ki se pojavljajo v dani regiji ter za uspešno in učinkovito koriščenje posebnih možnosti in sredstev v vsaki od regij;
Considers that macro-regions combine the potential to optimise the response to the challenges appearing in a given region; with that of using the particular opportunities and resources of each region in an effective and efficient way;
20. ugotavlja, da je bilo dosedanje izvajanje strategije za regijo Baltskega morja zelo počasno; meni, da je mogoče sredstva, odmerjena v proračunu EU za leto 2010, uporabiti za pospešitev izvajanja; vendar obžaluje, da ta sredstva še niso bila izplačana, ter opozarja Komisijo, da je treba ta denar čim prej dodeliti za namene v skladu s cilji strategije za regijo Baltskega morja;
Notes that implementation of the Baltic Sea Strategy has as yet been very slow; considers that the appropriations earmarked in the 2010 EU budget may be used to improve implementation; regrets, therefore, that these appropriations have still not been disbursed and reminds the Commission of the importance of this money being allocated as soon as possible for purposes in line with the targets of the Baltic Sea Strategy.
22. poziva Evropsko komisijo, glede na potrebo po pripravi vmesne analize izvajanja strategije za regijo Baltskega morja, k pripravi konkretnih instrumentov in meril za ocenjevanje projektov, na podlagi kazalnikov, ki omogočajo primerjavo;
Calls on the European Commission, in the context of the need to carry out an interim analysis of the implementation of the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, to prepare concrete instruments and criteria for evaluating projects based on indicators that allow comparisons to be made;
25. meni, da mora razvoj obsežnih strategij, kot so makroregionalne strategije, splošneje prispevati h krepitvi vloge lokalne in regionalne ravni pri izvajanju politike EU;
Believes that the development of large-scale strategies, such as macro- regional strategies, should contribute to enhancing the role of the local and regional level in the implementation of EU policy more generally;
30. meni, da je treba v novem sporazumu o partnerstvu in sodelovanju z Rusijo upoštevati sodelovanje v regiji Baltskega morja; pozdravlja prizadevanja Komisije in držav članic iz te regije, da bi sodelovale z Rusijo na številnih področjih, kot so prometne povezave, turizem, čezmejne zdravstvene grožnje, varstvo okolja in prilagajanje podnebnim spremembam, okolje, carinske in mejne kontrole, zlasti pa energetska vprašanja; meni, da bodo pri tem skupna območja EU in Rusije dragocen okvir, ter poziva Rusijo, naj pri tem sodelovanju prevzame enakovredno vlogo;
Believes that the new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with Russia should take account of the cooperation in the Baltic Sea Area; welcomes the efforts by the Commission and the Member States in the region to cooperate with Russia on a vast number of areas, such as transport connections, tourism, cross-border health threats, environmental protection and adaptation to climate change, the environment, customs and border controls and, in particular, energy issues; believes that the EU-Russia common spaces will provide a valuable framework in this regard, and calls on Russia to play an equal part in such cooperation;
32. meni, da je treba za dosego učinkovitega varstva okolja in biotske raznovrstnosti skleniti sporazume z državami nečlanicami EU, ki so del funkcionalnih območij, zajetih v strategijah, da se jim zagotovijo enake vrednote, pravice in dolžnosti v skladu z ustrezno zakonodajo Evropske unije;
Believes that in order to achieve an effective protection of the environment and of biodiversity, agreements should be reached with the non-EU states that are part of the functional areas interested by the strategies, so that they can share the same values, rights and duties contained in the relevant European Union legislation;
Okoljski in energetski vidiki
Environmental and energy aspects
37. poudarja učinkovito sodelovanje, ki je že vzpostavljeno v sektorju energetike in podnebja med Svetom baltskih držav in Nordijskim svetom ministrov v okviru severne dimenzije;
Draws attention to the effective cooperation already achieved in the energy and climate sector between the Council of the Baltic Sea States and the Nordic Council in the context of the Northern Dimension;
Vidiki prometa in turizma
Transport and tourism aspects
48. meni, da je treba dati posebno prednost povezavam med pristanišči in regijami v notranjosti, tudi prek celinskih plovnih poti, in tako zagotoviti, da povečanje pomorskega tovornega prometa koristi vsem delom regije;
Believes that particular priority should be given to connections between harbours and inland regions, including by means of inland waterways, so as to ensure that all parts of the region can benefit from the growth of maritime cargo transport;
50. poudarja, da so pomorski prevozi na kratke razdalje po Baltskem morju pomembni in prispevajo k učinkovitemu in okolju prijaznemu prometnemu omrežju; poudarja, da je treba spodbujati konkurenčnost pomorskih prevozov na kratke razdalje, da bi se zagotovila učinkovita uporaba morja; zato meni, da mora Komisija čim hitreje, vendar najpozneje do konca leta 2010, Evropskemu parlamentu predložiti oceno učinkov spremenjene Priloge VI h Konvenciji MARPOL o omejitvi vsebnosti žvepla v ladijskem gorivu na 0,1 % od leta 2015 na območjih Severnega in Baltskega morja, kjer se emisije žvepla nadzirajo;
Underlines the importance of short sea shipping in the Baltic Sea and its contribution to an efficient, environmentally-friendly transport network; points out that the competitiveness of short sea shipping links must be promoted in order to ensure efficient use of the sea; believes for this reason that the Commission needs to provide the European Parliament, as quickly as possible, but by the end of 2010 at the latest, with an impact assessment of the effects of the revised Annex VI to the MARPOL Convention, limiting sulphur in marine fuel oil to 0.1% from 2015 in the areas of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea where sulphur emissions are being monitored;
52. priznava, da je treba v podporo temu cilju sprejeti posebne ukrepe, tudi ustrezno uporabiti navtične vodnike ali dokazljivo izkušene mornarje za najzahtevnejše ožine in pristanišča, ter oblikovati zanesljive finančne sheme za raziskovanje in razvoj na področju trajnostnega obratovanja ladij;
Recognises the need for specific measures in support of this objective, including the appropriate use of nautical pilots or demonstrably experienced seafarers for the most challenging straits and ports and the establishment of reliable financing schemes for research and development on the sustainable operation of ships;
54. opozarja na edinstveno priložnost za trajnostni turizem, ki izhaja iz privlačnosti hanzeatskih mest v baltski regiji; poleg tega podpira spodbujanje čezmejnega kolesarskega turizma, ki bi prinesel koristi tako za okolje kot tudi za mala in srednja podjetja;
Underlines the unique opportunity for sustainable tourism offered by the attractiveness of the Hanseatic cities in the Baltic Region; supports, furthermore, the promotion of cross-border cycle tourism, thereby creating win-win effects for the environment and for small and medium-sized enterprises;
56. meni, da je izboljšanje prevoznih povezav in odpravljanje ozkih grl prav tako pomembno in da je mogoče s to strategijo rešiti težave pri prehodu vzhodne meje EU z Rusko federacijo, kjer nastajajo dolge kolone tovornjakov, ki ogrožajo okolje, socialni mir, prometno varnost in varnost voznikov, in tako zagotoviti nemoten pretok blaga po regiji Baltskega morja;
Regards improvements in transport links and the elimination of bottlenecks to be of no less importance, and notes that border-crossing difficulties at checkpoints on the EU’s eastern border with the Russian Federation, which cause long queues of lorries and pose threats to the environment, social harmony, traffic safety and drivers’ safety, could be solved via this strategy in order to ensure the smooth flow of goods through the Baltic Sea Region;
V dobi globalizacije, hitrih podnebnih in demografskih sprememb ter povečane gospodarske konkurence se vedno bolj kaže, da pojavljajoče se težave in izzivi ne poznajo upravnih in političnih meja.
The problems arising in this age of globalisation, rapid climatic and demographic change and increased economic competition often transcend administrative or political borders.
Tako se soočamo s potrebo po pripravi specifičnih odgovorov na te izzive in prilagajanju obstoječih političnih in finančnih instrumentov le-tem.
Thus we are faced with the need to develop specific responses to such challenges and the way existing political and financial instruments are applied to them.
Prav v tem okviru se je pojavila zamisel o makroregijah, tj. funkcionalnih območjih, skupaj zbranih na podlagi skupnih razvojnih ciljev ali težav, ki imajo določene skupne lastnosti in geografske danosti.
This is the context which gave rise to the concept of the macro-region, a functional space concentrated on common development goals or problems and possessing certain common features and geographical determinants.
Strategija za regijo Baltskega morja je prvi in zaenkrat edini poskus oblikovanja kompleksne skupne strategije razvoja za to vrsto makroregije.
The Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is the first, and so far the only, attempt to create a complex common development strategy for a macro-region of this type.
Kot beremo v sporočilu Evropske komisije
According to the Communication from the European Commission
Sporočilo Komisije Evropskemu parlamentu, Svetu, Evropskemu ekonomsko-socialnemu odboru in Odboru regij o Strategiji Evropske unije za regijo Baltskega morja ( KOM(2009)0248 konč., 10.6.2009). : „Regija Baltskega morja je zelo raznoliko območje v gospodarskem, okoljskem in kulturnem smislu, vendar pa si zadevne države delijo mnoge skupne vire ter so zelo medsebojno odvisne“.
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions concerning the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (COM(2009)248 final, 10 June 2009). , ‘the Baltic Sea Region is a highly heterogeneous area in economic, environmental and cultural terms, yet the countries concerned share many common resources and demonstrate considerable interdependence.’
Ta medsebojna odvisnost in potreba po soočanju s podobnimi izzivi opravičujejo skupno ukrepanje v okviru strategije za regijo Baltskega morja.
That interdependence, along with the need to confront similar challenges, is the justification for joint action within the framework of the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region.
Strategija je bila sprejeta po celovitem posvetovanju z zainteresiranimi stranmi v državah članicah, in sicer ne le z organi javne uprave, temveč tudi z akademskimi in poslovnimi krogi ter nevladnimi organizacijami.
The Strategy was adopted after wide consultation with interested parties in the Member States, including not only public authorities but also academic and business circles and NGOs.
Postopek posvetovanja in vključevanja partnerjev od samega začetka v pripravo strategije je sam po sebi velik uspeh.
The consultation process and the involvement of partners from the very beginning of work on the strategy must be considered a success in itself.
Na podlagi teh prizadevanj je nastal predlog za novo obliko sodelovanja v Evropski uniji.
The work gave rise to a proposal for a new form of cooperation within the European Union.
Strategija se opira na štiri v nadaljevanju navedene stebre, katerih cilj je učinkovitejše izkoriščanje programov Skupnosti in nacionalnih politik:
The four pillars of the Strategy, aimed at making better use of Community programmes and national policies, are as follows:
– varovanje okolja,
- protection of the environment,
– večanje blaginje v regiji,
- enhancing the region’s prosperity,
– povečanje dostopnosti in privlačnosti regije in
- increasing accessibility and attractiveness, and
– zagotavljanje varnosti in zaščite v regiji.
- ensuring safety and security in the region.
Strategija je nadalje razdeljena na 15 prednostnih področij, poleg tega je opredeljenih več kot 70 prednostnih projektov.
The Strategy is further divided into 15 priority areas and over 70 flagship projects.
Izhodiščna točka za strategijo so bili že razviti projekti in pobude v regiji, tako v okviru pobud Unije kot v kontekstu neposrednega sodelovanja med državami članicami v regiji Baltskega morja, ki so bili vključeni v nov okvir sodelovanja, oprt na načela celostnega pristopa k izvajani politiki.
It takes as its starting point the projects and initiatives already existing in the region, whether developed by the EU or implemented in direct cooperation between Member States in the Baltic Sea region, and places them in a new cooperative framework based on an integrated policy.
Soočanje z izzivi, kot so npr. podnebne spremembe, bo učinkovito samo, če bodo upoštevane ostale politike, ki neposredno vplivajo nanje (npr. ribiška in skupna kmetijska politika).
Efforts to deal with challenges such as climate change can be effective only if we take into account other policies that directly affect them (e.g. fisheries policy and the common agricultural policy).
Strategija predvideva tudi krepitev sodelovanja s sosednjimi državami, ki niso članice Unije, katerih ozemlja pa spadajo v obseg funkcionalno zaokroženih območij, opredeljenih z dano makroregijo, ali nanje neposredno vplivajo.
The Strategy is also predicated on strengthened cooperation with neighbouring countries not belonging to the Union whose territories are part of functional spaces defined by the given macro-region or affect those spaces indirectly.
Na primer, pri skrbi za čistočo vode Baltskega morja ni mogoče zanemariti dejstva, da reke nekaterih držav vplivajo na to morje, tudi če ta država nima neposrednega dostopa do Baltika.
For example, in striving to ensure the cleanliness of the waters of the Baltic Sea, we cannot ignore the fact that the rivers of certain states flow into it even though the states in question have no direct access to the Sea.
Glavni izziv pri izvajanju strategije za regijo Baltskega morja je vzpostavitev dobre strukture sodelovanja in usklajevanja ter učinkovitega sistema upravljanja.
The main challenge in implementing the Strategy for the BSR is to create sound structures for cooperation and coordination and an efficient management system.
Odgovornost za samo izvajanje strategije mora kljub vsemu ostati v pristojnosti držav članic, pri čemer se zdi, da oblikovanje novih organizacijsko-upravnih struktur ne bi bilo priporočljivo oziroma ne bi prispevalo k učinkovitemu izvajanju strategije.
Responsibility for the actual implementation of the Strategy is to lie with the Member States, in which respect the creation of new organisational or administrative structures does not seem necessary or likely to contribute to efficient implementation.
Pristop te vrste seveda zahteva dodatne organizacijske napore in široko zasnovano sodelovanje med ustanovami, organizacijami in partnerji v okviru posameznih politik na evropski, državni, regionalni in lokalni ravni, v skladu z načelom upravljanja na več ravneh, ki ga posebej priporoča Odbor regij
Such an approach clearly requires an additional organisational effort and wide-ranging cooperation between institutions, organisations and partners in the framework of individual policies at EU, national, regional and local level, in accordance with the principle of multilevel governance recommended by the Committee of the Regions
Mnenje na lastno pobudo Odbora regij „Bela knjiga Odbora regij o upravljanju na več ravneh“ CdR 89/2009 konč. .
Own-initiative opinion of the Committee of the Regions: White Paper on Multilevel Governance, CdR 89/2009 final. .
V skladu s tem načelom bodo ravno regijske oblasti, nevladne organizacije in civilna združenja, ki najbolje poznajo svojo situacijo in možnosti, odgovorne za izvajanje projektov v okviru strategije in od njihovih dejavnosti bo odvisen njen uspeh.
In line with this principle, implementation of projects in the framework of the Strategy will be the task of regional authorities, NGOs and citizens’ associations, which best know their own situation and possibilities, and it is on their efforts that the success of the Strategy will depend.
Poleg tega je treba zato, da ideja integriranega pristopa ne bi ostala le prazna beseda in strategija ne le skupek ločenih projektov, temveč da bi ustvarjala dodano vrednost, nujno določiti konkretna merila za ocenjevanje, ki bodo oprta na sklop kazalnikov, ki bodo omogočali primerjavo.
Furthermore, if the idea of an integrated approach is not to remain an empty slogan, and the Strategy is not to be simply a collection of separate projects but a creator of added value, practical evaluation criteria must be established on the basis of a set of indicators that permit comparability.
Pomembno je, da bi poročilo o izvajanju strategije, ki bo predvidoma predstavljeno leta 2011, predstavljalo dejanski odraz njenih dosežkov in težav, kar bo omogočilo morebitne spremembe in izboljšave ter dalo novo spodbudo za izvajanje strategije v prihodnje.
It is important that the report on implementation of the Strategy announced for 2011 give a true picture of the achievements and difficulties, so as to enable any necessary amendments and improvements to be made and the Strategy to be given new impetus for the future.
