Underlines the great importance of donor coordination in Afghanistan and particularly the harmonisation of procedures on the basis of country systems; insists that these and other aid effectiveness measures set out in the Paris Declaration be fully implemented in Afghanistan;
33. ker je pomoč Skupnosti v primerjavi s celotno mednarodno pomočjo pomembna, ocenjuje, da je treba povečati prepoznavnost ukrepov Unije, tako lokalno kot v očeh evropske javnosti; je prepričan, da bi morala Unija poleg afganistanske vlade, državne in regionalne uprave in mednarodne skupnosti donatorjev imeti posebno vlogo pri odločanju na področju dialoga, usmerjanja in pomoči; pričakuje, da bo Komisija sprožila splošno razpravo o prihodnjem upravljanju neposredne pomoči, ki ga izvajajo afganistanski organi;
Considers it essential, given the importance of Community aid in the context of international aid as a whole, to boost the visibility of the Union's actions both locally and in the eyes of the European public; believes that the Union must also play a key role in the areas of dialogue, guidance and support in respect of decision-making vis-à-vis the Afghan Government, national and regional administrations and the international donor community; hopes that the Commission will launch a general reflection process with regard to the future management of direct aid by the Afghan authorities;

49. zahteva, da se v Afganistanu organizira podobno usposabljanje, kot sta ga OLAF in EuropeAid izvedla za afriške uradnike, in sicer na temo varstva in optimiranja javnih sredstev ter sodelovanja med državnimi in mednarodnimi ustanovami;
Calls for the organisation in Afghanistan of training programmes similar to those carried out by OLAF and EuropeAid for officials in African countries on the subject of "protection and optimisation of public funds - cooperation between national and international institutions";
51. poziva Komisijo, države članice in afganistansko vlado, naj zagotovijo, da bodo njihovi programi in dejavnosti, zlasti na ravni pokrajin, popolnoma skladni z afganistansko nacionalno razvojno strategijo in zavezami, ki so jih vse strani dale na pariški konferenci;

Encourages all initiatives aimed at building closer links between its interparliamentary delegations and the two chambers of the Afghan parliament (the Wolesi Jirga and the Meshrano Jirga) in the interests of promoting good governance at parliamentary level;
56. poudarja, da je treba prednostno podpreti razvoj političnih strank, tematske skupine v narodni skupščini, civilno družbo in medije; meni, da je mednarodna skupnost obvezana v celoti ali delno financirati proračun za volitve ter zagotoviti pomoč pri izvajanju vseh določb afganistanskega volilnega zakona, vključno z določbami, ki se nanašajo na preverjanje kandidatov;
Stresses the need to prioritise support for political party development, issue-based caucuses within the National Assembly, civil society and the media; considers that the international community is under an obligation to fund an electoral budget, totally or in part, and to provide assistance for the implementation of all provisions of the Afghan e lections l aw, including those relating to the vetting of candidates ;
Po zadnjem poročilu UNDP (2007) je Afganistan na 174. mestu od 178 držav po indeksu človekovega razvoja in skoraj nenehno se sooča s konfliktnimi ali vojnimi razmerami, ki trajajo že več desetletij v obliki ponavljajočih se plemenskih ali mednarodnih sporov.
Afghanistan is 174th out of 178 countries on the UNDP's most recent Human Development Index (that for 2007), and has been riven almost continuously by conflict or war for several decades, in the wake of successive tribal or international confrontations.
Najrazličnejše trgovanje, zlasti z drogami, ki so vezane na proizvodnjo maka, vpliva na celotne regije države, kjer naj bi obstajala tudi skrita korupcija na vseh ravneh upravljanja.
Multiple forms of trafficking, above all drug trafficking linked to poppy cultivation, affect whole regions of a country where corruption is rife at all levels of the administration and the state.
Pomo č Evropske unije in njeno dodeljevanje
EU aid and its allocation
To pomoč sestavlja neposredna in posredna pomoč.
EU aid is both direct and indirect.
Med letoma 2002 in 2007 je neposredna pomoč Skupnosti predstavljala 70 % (970 milijonov evrov) celotne pomoči Skupnosti, posredna pomoč Skupnosti, ki jo upravljajo mednarodne organizacije, pa 30 % pomoči Skupnosti (422 milijonov evrov).
Between 2002 and 2007, direct Community aid accounted for 70 % (EUR 970 m) of the total, the remaining 30% being covered by indirect aid managed by international organisations (EUR 422 m).
To pomoč so dobili skrbniški skladi več donatorjev, ki jih upravljajo Združeni narodi (13 % sredstev) ali Svetovna banka (17 % sredstev); praviloma gre za:
The indirect aid has been channelled through multidonor trust funds administered by either the UN (13% of funds) or the World Bank (17%).
- sklad LOFTA (Law and Order Trust Fund), pomoč v višini 180,5 milijona evrov, ki ga upravlja RPZN, Evropska unija pa je z 38-odstotno udeležbo eden glavnih donatorjev.
- LOFTA (Law and Order Trust Fund) - aid of EUR 180.5 m administered by the UNPD, the EU being the main donor (accounting for 38%).
Trenutna pomoč Skupnosti je omejena s strateškim dokumentom za obdobje 2007–2013 in z večletnim okvirnim programom o glavnih smernicah in ključnih točkah pomoči Skupnosti za obdobje 2007–2010.
The existing Community aid is governed by a strategic document for 2007-2013 and a multiannual indicative programme setting out the main lines and focal points for Community intervention for 2007-2010.
Za č asno poro č ilo o pomo č i Skupnosti
Community aid - provisional state of play
Od podpisa pakta za Afganistan v začetku leta 2006 je bil dosežen pomemben napredek pri dodeljevanju pomoči iz držav donatork, kar je omejilo podvajanje izdatkov in korupcijo.
Since the signature of the Pact for Afghanistan in early 2006, important progress has been made in the allocation of aid by donor countries, making it possible to reduce duplication of expenditure and cut corruption.
Nova strategija mednarodnih organizacij, zlasti Svetovne banke, glede neposrednega dodeljevanja pomoči afganistanski vladi je videti obetavna in spodbuja neposredno odgovornost ministrstev.
The new strategy of the international organisations, especially the World Bank, for the direct transfer of funds to the Afghan government is promising, engaging as it does the direct responsibility of the ministries.
Med najuspešnejšimi projekti je treba omeniti tiste v sektorjih za zdravstveno varstvo, izobraževanje in infrastrukturo (zlasti cestno), ki so od padca talibanov dali obetavne rezultate.
The key advances made include those registered in health, education and infrastructures (especially roads), where there have been encouraging results since the fall of the Taliban.
Omeniti kaže tudi obnovo na osnovnih šolah in izobraževanje profesorjev.
Primary schools are being rebuilt, and teachers trained.
Prav tako je treba poudariti prizadevanja afganistanskih oblasti v obliki pobud za enakost spolov.
The Afghan authorities are also making efforts to develop initiatives for gender equality.
Ugotoviti pa je treba pomanjkljivo usklajevanje med državami donatorkami na mednarodni ravni, prav tako med različnimi državami članicami Unije in Evropsko komisijo, čeprav bi ta lahko igrala povezovalno vlogo.
Nonetheless, there is a lack of coordination between donor countries at international level, and the same applies between the EU Member States and the Commission, even though the latter could be playing a cohering role.
Iz tega izhaja, da je razmerje med stroški in učinkom bistveno slabše od možnega, velja pa tudi, da bi bilo afganistansko prebivalstvo lahko deležno precej večjih koristi iz mednarodnih skladov in skladov Skupnosti, ki so na voljo državi.
The cost-effectiveness ratio is well below what it should be, and there is a sense that the people of Afghanistan could be directly benefiting much more from the international and Community funds received.
Opis sistema nadzora neposredne in posredne pomo č i Skupnosti
Description of the system for monitoring Community aid (direct and indirect)
Glede na strukturne slabosti afganistanske uprave so vse glavne faze izbora, sklepanja pogodb, odobritve pogodb in plačil za projekte, ki so financirani iz skladov Skupnosti, v splošnem pogojene z dogovorom in predhodnim podpisom služb Komisije (delegacije in/ali centralnih služb, odvisno od primera) in vsi projekti in programi so pred končnim plačilom predmet najmanj ene revizije.
In view of the structural deficiencies exhibited by the Afghan administration, as a rule the main phases of selection, award and approval of contracts and award of payments in respect of Community-funded projects are subject to the agreement and prior signature of the Commission's services (delegation and/or central services as appropriate), and all projects and programmes are audited at least once before the final payment.
Na podlagi istih virov Komisija v primeru neupravičenih zneskov izterja ustrezne zneske, in sicer z uporabo pogodbeno opredeljenih bančnih garancij ali z nadomestitvijo pri plačilu obveznosti do pogodbenikov iz naslova drugih pogodb.
The same sources state that in cases of unjustified or ineligible expenditure the sums concerned are recovered immediately by the Commission - through a recovery procedure, by appealing to the bank guarantees accompanying the contracts, or by deduction from other payments due to the same contractors in respect of other contracts.
Kadar Komisija nakaže pomoč Skupnosti prek skrbniških skladov več donatorjev, ki jih upravlja mednarodna organizacija, se pomoč izvrši na podlagi skupnega upravljanja.
Where the Commission pays the Community aid via such a fund managed by an international organisation, the mode of execution of the Community contribution pertains to the area of joint management.
Sredstva Skupnosti so združena s sredstvi drugih donatorjev, namenjenimi za financiranje programov in projektov, določenih v okviru upravnih organov zadevnega skrbniškega sklada.
The Community funds are pooled with those of the other donors with a view to the financing of the programmes and projects agreed on by the governing bodies of the trust funds concerned.
Iz tega razloga je zelo težko je določiti projekt, ki dobiva pomoč Skupnosti, saj so sredstva različnih donatorjev zamenljiva in skupaj financirajo iste dejavnosti.
It is therefore difficult to tie a given project to the Community contribution, since there is a cross-fertilisation between the funds supplied by different donors which jointly finance the same operations.
Poleg tega Komisija sistematično sodeluje v odborih donatorjev, ki nadzorujejo vsak skrbniški sklad, in v različnih delovnih skupinah, ki opredeljujejo sektorske prednostne naloge za projekte.
The Commission also participates on a systematic basis in the donor committees, overseeing the individual trust funds and the working groups which define the sectoral priorities for project definition.
Vzporedno Komisija v skladu z določbami okvirnih dogovorov in na podlagi dobljenih informacij izvaja finančno preverjanje računovodskih izkazov in dokazil, ki utemeljujejo nakazila Skupnosti in ustrezne izdatke v upravnih in finančnih službah mednarodnih organizacij, ki zbirajo ustrezne dokumente.
In parallel, under the framework agreements and in line with the information obtained, the Commission carries out sample financial checks on the accounts and supporting documents for the Community payments and the corresponding expenditure, at the administrative and financial headquarters of the international organisations which centralise the documents concerned.
Pri uporabi člena 53d finančne uredbe mora Komisija, preden nakaže finančno pomoč mednarodni organizaciji, preveriti, ali ta ustreza mednarodnim standardom glede računovodstva, revizij, notranje kontrole in javnega naročanja.
In implementation of Article 53d of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, before making a financial contribution to an international organisation, has to check that it meets international standards in terms of accounts, auditing, internal controls and tendering.
Boj proti proizvodnji in prometu s prepovedanimi drogami
The fight against corruption and drug trafficking
Poročevalec opozarja, da je Afganistan eden glavnih proizvajalcev maka, in ocenjuje, da se je treba dejavno boriti proti vsakemu prometu z drogami, prav tako pa je treba razvijati programe za uvedbo nadomestnih kultur, kar se je izkazalo kot učinkovito v tajskem zlatem trikotniku.
Your rapporteur recalls that Afghanistan is one of the world's biggest poppy producers, and stresses the need to actively combat all forms of drug trafficking and to develop programmes for replacement crops, which have proved their worth in the 'Golden Triangle' in Thailand.
Pomembno je, da skupnost sovlagateljev naredi vse potrebno, da bo proizvodnja nadomestkov, zlasti kmetijskih pridelkov, afganistanskim prebivalcem prinesla zadostne prihodke, da bo mogoče dokončno opustiti gojenje maka.
The donor community must make every effort to ensure that replacement crops, especially agricultural products, can offer the people of Afghanistan sufficiently high income levels to induce them to put an end to poppy cultivation.
