EU in države AKP so vzpostavile odnose leta 1970, ko je večina držav AKP postala neodvisna.
ACP-EU relations started in the 1970s, following the independence of most of the ACP countries.
S prvo konvencijo iz Loméja, ki je bila podpisana leta 1975, je nastal edinstven model razvojnega sodelovanja med EU in državami AKP.
The first Lomé convention, signed in 1975, created a unique model of development cooperation between the EU and ACP countries.
Ta konvencija je bila tako posebna zaradi večrazsežnosti, ki združuje pomoč in trgovino, pogodbenega vidika, ki zajema obdobje petih let, enostranskih preferencialov za večino izvoza iz držav AKP v države EU in zagotovljenega financiranja držav AKP.
Its multidimensional nature, combining aid and trade, its contractual aspect covering a period of five years, its non-reciprocal preferences for most exports from ACP to EU countries and its guaranteed funding for ACP countries was what constituted the originality of Lomé.
Sporazum o partnerstvu AKP-ES (znan kot sporazum iz Cotonouja) je bil podpisan v Cotonouju v Beninu 23. junija 2000, nadomestil pa je okvir razvojnega sodelovanja iz Loméja.
The "Partnership Agreement ACP-EC" (known as the Cotonou Agreement) signed in Cotonou, Benin, on 23 June 2000, replaced the Lomé framework of development cooperation.
Sklenjen je bil za dvajsetletno obdobje od 1. marca 2000 do 28. februarja 2020.
It was concluded for a twenty-year period from 1 March 2000 to 28 February 2020.
Čeprav je ohranil pravni red konvencije iz Loméja, je novi sporazum uvedel nekatere korenite spremembe v sodelovanje med državami AKP in EU, med katerimi sta najpomembnejši:
While preserving the ‘ acquis ’ of the Lomé convention, the Cotonou Agreement introduced some radical changes in the ACP-EU cooperation, two of the most important being:
Sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu
Economic Partnership Agreements:
Kar zadeva trgovino, so preferencialni dostop držav AKP na trg EU nadomestili vzajemni sporazumi o prosti trgovini – sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu – ki naj bi bili skladni s pravili STO.
In terms of trade, ACP countries' preferential access to the EU market is replaced by reciprocal free trade agreements - Economic Partnership Agreements - which are meant to be in conformity with WTO rules.
Po teh sporazumih so bile države AKP v začetku razdeljene v šest regij, od katerih se je vsaka pogajala o sporazumu o prosti trgovini z EU; trenutno je regij sedem.
Under these Economic Partnership Agreements, ACP countries were initially divided into six regions, each negotiating to conclude a free trade agreement with EU; currently the regions are already seven.
Sedanja pogajanja o sporazumu o gospodarskem partnerstvu so zelo polemična in jim nasprotujejo številne vlade, organizacije civilne družbe, sindikati in delodajalci v državah AKP, ki menijo, da ta projekt ogroža gospodarstva držav AKP.
The ongoing EPA negotiations are very controversial and contested by many governments, civil society organisations, trade unions, and employers in ACP countries, who consider the project as a threat to the ACP countries' economies.
Edina regija, ki je doslej tak sporazum podpisala, je bila karibska.
The only region that has signed an EPA so far is the Caribbean region.
Regionalizacija odnosov AKP-EU – institucionalni vpliv
Regionalisation of ACP-EU relations - institutional impact
To, da želi EU podpisati ločene sporazume o gospodarskem partnerstvu s posameznimi regijami, bo imelo neizogiben institucionalni vpliv na odnose AKP-EU.
The fact that the EU wants to sign separate EPAs with different regions will inevitably have an institutional impact on ACP-EU relations.
Že značaj teh sporazumov (kot regionalnih sporazumov) povzroča regionalizacijo odnosov EU-AKP.
The mere nature of the EPAs (as regional agreements) leads to regionalisation of EU-ACP relations.
Ker želja po ukinitvi skupine AKP ni bila javno izražena, obstaja pomislek, da bi se to utegnilo zgoditi, saj bodo skupina držav in njene obstoječe strukture postale presežne.
While there is no official expression of the desire to abolish the ACP Group, there is some degree of concern that this may eventually occur as the Group and its existing structures become "surplus to requirements".
Sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu omogočajo ustanovitev skupnih parlamentarnih odborov (ločenih od Skupne parlamentarne skupščine AKP-EU) za vsak sporazum posebej.
The EPA Agreements would provide for the establishment of Joint Parliamentary Committees (separate from the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly – the JPA) for each EPA.
Poročevalka želi izraziti močno zaskrbljenost zaradi bohotenja posebnih parlamentarnih organov, na primer parlamentarnih odborov v okviru sporazumov o gospodarskem partnerstvu, v odnosih AKP-EU.
The rapporteur wishes to express her deep concern on the proliferation of specialised parliamentary bodies within ACP-EU relations, such as the Parliamentary Committees in the EPAs framework.
Poleg tega bi ustanovitev posebnih parlamentarnih organov za trgovinska in za razvojna vprašanja pomenila hudo oviro za skladnost politike za razvoj, saj bi ti organi ne mogli upoštevati prepletenosti politike trgovine in razvoja ter njunega vpliva na okolje, kmetijstvo, naložbe itd..
In addition, the establishment of separate parliamentary bodies for trade and for development issues would present serious obstacles to policy coherence for development (since these bodies would not be able to take into account the interrelated nature of development and trade policy, as well as its impact on environment, agriculture, investment, etc.)
Prva revizija sporazuma
The first revision of the Agreement
Klavzula o reviziji v petem členu sporazuma iz Cotonouja določa, da se sporazum pregleda vsakih pet let (z izjemo gospodarskih in trgovinskih določb, za katere je določen poseben postopek revizije), da bi ostal ustrezen glede na hitro se spreminjajoče mednarodne okoliščine in odnose AKP-EU.
A revision clause, article 95 of the Cotonou Agreement, provides that the Agreement is reviewed every five years (with the exception of the economic and trade provisions for which there is a special review procedure) in order to keep the Agreement relevant in a rapidly changing international and ACP-EU context.
V skladu s členom 95(3) se morata strani medsebojno uradno obvestiti o reviziji določb sporazuma, ki jo želita opraviti s ciljem njegovih morebitnih sprememb.
In accordance with Article 95 (3), both parties must notify the other of the provisions they desire to make with a view to a possible amendment of the agreement.
Prva revizija je potekala leta 2005.
The first review took place in 2005.
1. politična razsežnost: uvedba bolj sistematičnega in bolj formalnega postopka političnega dialoga in posvetovanj v okviru člena 96 glede človekovih pravic, demokratičnih načel in pravne države; navedba sodelovanja pri preprečevanju širjenja orožja za množično uničevanje, pri delovanju Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča in mednarodnega sodelovanja v boju proti terorizmu;
The political dimension: establishment of a more systematic and formal political dialogue and consultation procedure under Article 96 with regard to human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law; references to cooperation in countering proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the International Criminal Court and international cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
Sedanja revizija sporazuma
Ongoing revision of the Agreement
Ob drugi reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja se svetovno gospodarstvo spoprijema z mnogovrstnimi težavami: s krediti spodbujena finančna kriza, stopnjujoče se podnebne spremembe, hitro naraščajoče cene hrane in energije, ki so povezane z nakupi obdelovalnih zemljišč s strani tujih investitorjev, zlasti v Afriki.
At the time of the 2 nd revision of the Cotonou Agreement, the global economy is facing a multiple crunch: credit-fuelled financial crisis, accelerating climate change, soaring food and energy price combined with acquisition of arable land by foreign investors, mostly in Africa.
Revizija tega sporazuma je zato čudovita priložnost, da se spoprimemo s temeljnimi vzroki teh kriz, se kaj naučimo iz preteklih napak in bistveno spremenimo okvir sporazuma iz Cotonouja.
The revision of this agreement gives therefore a great opportunity to address the root causes of these crises, to learn from past mistakes and bring meaningful changes to the Cotonou framework.
Glede na uradno obvestilo Sveta predsedniku Sveta ministrov AKP (z dne 23. februarja 2009) so določbe, ki bi jih ob drugi reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja želela spremeniti EU, naslednje:
According to the Council notification letter (from 23 February 2009) to the president of the ACP Council of Ministers, the provisions the EU would like to be reviewed during this 2nd revision of the Cotonou, are:
· regionalna razsežnost
· regional dimension,
· politična razsežnost
· political dimension,
· pojasnila v zvezi z institucijami
· institutional clarifications,
· spodbujanje razvojnih ciljev tisočletja
· promoting the MDGs,
· pristojnosti in dejavnosti Evropske investicijske banke
· mandate and activities of the EIB,
· spodbujanje vključenosti
· participatory approaches,
· humanitarna pomoč in preprečevanje nesreč
· humanitarian aid and disaster prevention,
· programiranje in izvajanje pomoči ter posodobitve
· programming and implementation of aid and updates,
· nedoslednosti in uradni popravki .
· inconsistencies and formal rectifications.
Obvestilo o temah pogajanj AKP v veliki meri sovpada s področji, ki jih je za revizijo objavila EU.
The ACP negotiation notification coincides to a great extend with the areas notified for revision by the EU.
Poleg teh bi skupina držav AKP rada vključila določbe o preprečevanju sporov in utrjevanju miru, sodelovanju na področju kulture in izobraževanja, podnebnih spremembah in varnosti preskrbe s hrano kot medsektorska vprašanja itd.
In addition to these areas, the ACP group would also like to include provisions on conflict prevention and peace consolidation, cultural and educational cooperation, climate change and food security as cross-cutting issues, etc.
Tri glavna načelna vprašanja, ki jih želi obravnavati skupina držav AKP ob drugi reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja, pa so:
The three principle issues that the ACP group would like to address during the 2 nd revision of the Cotonou however are:
· kako uskladiti regionalizacijo odnosov AKP-EU z enotnostjo in povezanostjo skupine držav AKP;
· how to reconcile the regionalisation of the ACP-EU relations with the unity and coherence of the ACP goup;
· institucionalne določbe in odnosi med institucijami Skupne parlamentarne skupščine in sporazuma o gospodarskem partnerstvu;
· the institutional provisions and the relations between JPA and EPA institutions;
· vloga Afriške unije in njeni odnosi s skupino držav AKP.
· the role of the African Union and its relations with the ACP group.
Glede na določbe/področja, o katerih sedaj tečejo pogajanja, in ob upoštevanju sedanjih perečih svetovnih dogodkov vaša poročevalka meni, da bi bilo treba v pogajalskem postopku ter v končnem besedilu obravnavati naslednje izzive na novo doseženega sporazuma
In view of the provisions/areas currently open for negotiations and in light of the current global challenging events your rapporteur considers therefore, that the following challenges should be addressed in the negotiation process and in the final text of the renegotiated agreement:
Povečanje demokratičnega parlamentarnega nadzora in Skupna parlamentarna skupščina AKP-EU: po sporazumu iz Cotonouja je SPS AKP-EU, ki združuje 78 poslancev Evropskega parlamenta in 78 članov parlamenta AKP, edinstvena in zelo uspešna parlamentarna zgradba za demokratični nadzor.
Strengthening democratic parliamentary scrutiny and the ACP-EU JPA: The ACP-EU JPA under the Cotonou Agreement, which brings together 78 members of the European Parliament and 78 ACP parliamentarians, is a unique and very successful parliamentary structure for democratic scrutiny.
Njeno vlogo bi bilo zato treba povečati, ne pa oslabiti z uvedbo dodatnih skupnih parlamentarnih odborov (zunaj ogrodja sedanje SPS), ki naj bi nadzorovali sporazume o gospodarskem partnerstvu.
The role of the JPA should therefore be strengthened rather than undermined due to the creation of additional Joint Parliamentary Committees (outside the framework of the existing JPA), foreseen to scrutinize the EPAs.
Poleg tega poročevalka meni, da je vlogo SPS treba nadgraditi s pristojnostmi za sedanji demokratični nadzor nad Evropskim razvojnim skladom, državnimi in regionalnimi strateškimi dokumenti in sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu.
Moreover, the rapporteur considers that the role of the JPA should be upgraded to give it competence for existing democratic scrutiny over the European Development Fund, the country and regional strategy papers as well as over the EPAs.
Podnebne spremembe: globalno segrevanje ima daljnosežne posledice za preživljanje držav v razvoju, vključno s kmetijstvom in varnostjo preskrbe s hrano: pojav novih bolezni, lakota, sprememba kakovosti vode, poplave in dviganje morske gladine, propad ribištva, suša in degradacija prsti ter mnoge druge.
Climate change: Global warming has far-reaching consequences for developing countries’ livelihood, including agriculture and food security: emergence of new diseases, famine, changes in water quality, floods and sea level rise, collapse of fisheries, draughts and soil degradation, and many others.
Če se s podnebnimi spremembami ne bomo ustrezno spoprijeli, se utegnejo prebivalci držav AKP znajti v položaju, ko bo šlo samo na slabše.
If climate change is not properly addressed, ACP countries' populations risk to be locked in a downward spiral.
Da bi to preprečili, je potreben celosten pristop, ki bi povezal okoljsko razsežnost vseh odločitev o politiki, tudi tistih v državnih in regionalnih strateških dokumentih.
To this end, there is a need for a holistic approach, which integrates the environment dimension in all policy decisions, including in country and regional strategy papers.
Poročevalka zato močno podpira zahtevo skupine držav AKP po obravnavi podnebnih sprememb ob drugi reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja kot medsektorskih vprašanj.
The rapporteur therefore very much supports the demand of the ACP group to address climate change as a cross-cutting issue in the 2 nd review of the Cotonou.
Obnovljiva energija: skoraj vse države AKP so obdarjene z velikanskimi viri obnovljive energije.
Renewable energy: Almost all ACP countries are endowed with tremendous renewable energy resources.
Presenetljivo pa niso dovolj izkoriščeni, da bi državam AKP omogočili energetsko neodvisnost.
Paradoxically, these resources are not enough exploited to allow ACP countries to move towards energy independency.
Vprašanje politike obnovljive energije mora biti zato v jedru sporazumov o razvojnem sodelovanju med državami AKP in EU.
The question of renewable energy policy must therefore be at the heart of ACP-EU development cooperation agreements.
Po poročevalkinem mnenju bi se bilo bolje dotakniti vprašanj o obnovljivih virih energije (kot so določbe o nujnem povečanju naložb v obnovljive energije v državah AKP) ob reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja.
The rapporteur suggests that renewable energy issues (such as provisions on the need to increase investment in renewable energies in ACP countries) should be better touched upon in the revised Cotonou.
Kriza preskrbe s hrano in vprašanje prilaščanja zemlje: hitro naraščanje cen hrane na svetovnem trgu v letih 2007 in 2008 je razkrilo nov pojav – nakupe obdelovalnih zemljišč v državah v razvoju s strani tujih investitorjev.
Food crisis and the question of land grabbing : The 2007-2008 soaring food prices in the world market brought to light a new phenomenon - acquisition of arable land by government backed foreign investors in developing countries.
Države kot na primer Kitajska, Saudova Arabija, Združeni arabski emirati in Katar so začele kupovati kmetijska zemljišča v državah v razvoju, da bi svojemu prebivalstvu zagotovile varno preskrbo s hrano.
Countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar started to buy farmland from developing countries in order to ensure food security to their respective populations.
Ti nakupi se sklepajo na račun interesov lokalnega prebivalstva in prikrajšujejo revne kmete za dostop do kmetijskih zemljišč in vode v njihovih lastnih državah.
This acquisition of arable lands is concluded at the expense of local populations’ interests and is depriving poor farmers of access to farmland and water in their own countries.
Če bodo mednarodni investitorji še naprej kupovali kmetijska zemljišča, se bo še poostrila skrajna revščina, utegne pa priti tudi do nasilnih sporov in nemirov zaradi cen hrane.
If acquisition of farmland by international investors continues, not only extreme poverty would be further exacerbated but also violent conflict and food riots could take place.
To, da je skupina držav AKP opredelila varnost preskrbe s hrano kot medsektorsko vprašanje v postopku revizije sporazuma iz Cotonouja, je dobra priložnost za obravnavo prilaščanja zemlje in preprečevanje prihodnjih sporov tako, da se zagotovi pravica lokalnih prebivalcev do dostopa do naravnih virov, vključno z zemljišči in vodo, kot temeljna človekova pravica.
The identification of food security (by the ACP group) as a cross cutting issue in the Cotonou revision process, provides a good opportunity to address the challenge of land grabbing and avert future conflicts by guaranteeing the right of local populations to have access to natural resources including land and water as a fundamental human right.
Pretresljiva je tudi ugotovitev, da čeprav več kot 60 % afriškega prebivalstva živi na podeželju in je njihovo preživljanje odvisno od kmetijstva, ne nacionalne vlade ne politike razvojnega sodelovanja EU ne dajejo prednosti temu življenjsko pomembnemu sektorju.
It is also appalling to observe that, despite the fact that more than 60% of the African population lives in rural areas and their livelihood depends on agriculture, neither national governments nor EU development cooperation policies give priority to this vital sector.
Te razmere se morajo spremeniti – da bi se lahko spopadli s svetovno revščino, mora kmetijstvo postati prednostni sektor razvojnega sodelovanja v sporazumu iz Cotonouja.
This situation has to change – in order to fight global poverty agriculture should become a priority sector of the Cotonou development cooperation.
Finančna kriza: čeprav države AKP niso povzročile finančne krize, ima nanje nesorazmerno velik vpliv.
Financial crisis: although ACP countries are not at the origin of the financial crisis, they are disproportionately affected by its impact.
Poročevalka zato meni, da bi morali pogajalci obravnavati sistemske vzroke za finančno in gospodarsko krizo ter predvideti ukrepe za krizne situacije ob drugi reviziji sporazuma iz Cotonouja.
The rapporteur therefore considers that the negotiators should address the systemic causes of this financial and economic crisis and envisage measures for crisis situations in the 2 nd revision of the Cotonou.
Čeprav je težko natančno določiti obseg nezakonitih finančnih tokov iz držav v razvoju, so ti tokovi po norveškem poročilu iz junija 2009
Although it is difficult to determine precisely the scale of illicit financial flow from developing country, according to a Norwegian report published in June 2009
Komisija o nezakonitem begu kapitala iz držav v razvoju: davčne oaze in razvoj, predhodno poročilo, 18. junij 2009 desetkrat večji od razvojne pomoči.
Commission on Capital flight from developing countries: Tax havens and development, preliminary report, June 18, 2009 , the illicit financial flow roughly represents ten times more than development aid.
To dokazuje, da če države v razvoju lahko nadzorujejo nezakonite finančne tokove, lahko pospešijo doseganje razvojnih ciljev tisočletja in utrejo pot avtonomnemu sistemu financiranja razvoja.
This shows that, if developing countries are in a position to control the illicit financial flow, they may accelerate achieving MDGs and pave the way towards autonomous development financing system.
Zavezujoča obveznost za boj proti davčnim oazam in nezakonitim finančnim tokovom je zato konkreten odziv na finančne težave držav AKP.
Binding commitment to fight against tax heaven and illicit financial flow is therefore a concrete answer to ACP countries financial problems.
Migracije: mnogi obupani Afričani tvegajo življenje, da bi se preselili v Evropo, saj so v njihovih državah možnosti za zaposlitev slabe, raven brezposelnosti pa visoka.
Migration: With few jobs prospects in their home countries and high level unemployment levels, many young desperate Africans risk their lives to migrate to Europe.
To množično priseljevanje je posledica propadanja gospodarstev, siromašenja prebivalstva, kršitev človekovih pravic, degradacije okolja, vedno širšega prepada med bogatimi in revnimi državami, vojn in političnega preganjanja.
This massive immigration is a result of failing economies, impoverishment of the population, human rights violations, environment degradation, the widening gap between rich and poor countries, wars, political persecutions.
Ena od rešitev za preprečevanje nezakonitega priseljevanja je omogočanje afriškim državam, da zaščitijo in izgradijo svoje gospodarstvo.
One solution to clandestine immigration is to allow African countries to protect and build their economy.
Da bi to dosegli, bi se morali pogajalci lotiti teme migracij in bega možganov.
To this end, the negotiators should touch upon the issue of migration and brain drain.
Izguba delovne sile na splošno, zlasti pa usposobljenih strokovnjakov, ima negativne posledice za razvoj in gospodarstva držav AKP.
The loss of their work force in general and that of trained professionals in particular, is adversely affecting ACP countries' development and economies.
