Ker je označevanje proizvodov z rožo znaka za okolje prostovoljno, potrošniki pa imajo visoka pričakovanja glede takih proizvodov, je poročevalec ponovno uvedel določbo, s katero se znak za okolje ne sme podeliti proizvodom, ki vsebujejo snovi, ki so nevarne za zdravje potrošnikov ali okolje.
In view of the voluntary character of the mark and the high expectations attached by consumers to products displaying the Ecolabel flower, your rapporteur has reintroduced the provision under which Ecolabel cannot be awarded to products containing substances that are hazardous for consumer health or the environment.
Za ohranitev kredibilnosti sistema podeljevanja znaka za okolje, je bistveno ohraniti splošno načelo varovanja zdravja potrošnikov in okolja za proizvode s tem znakom.
If the credibility of the Ecolabel certification system is to be maintained, it is essential to retain, for the products bearing the label, the general principle of the protection of consumer health and the environment.
Kljub temu poročevalec, ki se zaveda, da bi prepoved lahko omejila možnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje širši skupini kategorij proizvodov, predlaga, da bi lahko Komisija preko postopka komitologije in za posebne kategorije proizvodov uvedla upravičena odstopanja od zgoraj omenjenega načela.
Nonetheless, your rapporteur, aware that a prohibition could limit the possibilities of extending Ecolabel to a wider range of product categories, proposes that the Commission, through the commitology procedure and for specific product categories, could introduce justified exceptions to the above principle.
Poleg tega poročevalec meni, da je treba, glede na to, da se zakonodajni okvir EU (REACH, GRIS, itd.) vedno bolj usmerja k zmanjšanju izvajanja poskusov na živalih, zgoraj omenjeno načelo vključiti tudi v prostovoljni sistem znaka za okolje, katerega smisel je razvoj in podeljevanje certifikata proizvodom, ki ustrezajo najvišjim okoljskim standardom.
In addition, given that the EU legislative framework (REACH, GRIS, etc) is increasingly oriented towards reducing animal testing, your rapporteur believes that the above principle should also be integrated into the voluntary Ecolabel scheme, whose raison d´être is the development and certification of products meeting the highest environmental standards.
Mnogo upravljavcev v sektorju je kritičnih glede postopka potrjevanja meril za določen proizvod, saj je dolgotrajen, ko pa so kriteriji končno odobreni, zaradi tržnih trendov hitro zastarajo.
With regard to the approval process for the criteria for specific product categories, many operators in the sector are critical of the lengthiness of the criteria approval process and of the rapid obsolescence of the criteria once approved, in the wake of market trends.
Glede tega so predlogi poročevalca dvoplastni:
On this point, your rapporteur's proposals are twofold:
- uvedba največ 180 dni dolgega obdobja med zaključkom ocene in sprejetjem meril Komisije, da se zmanjša zamudnost pri potrjevanju meril;
- in order to reduce the delay in approving criteria, introduction of a maximum 180-day period between completion of the evaluation and approval of the criteria by the Commission;
- uvedba poenostavljenega in krajšega postopka pregleda za manjše spremembe meril (glej novo prilogo).
- introduction of a simplified and shorter revision procedure for minor changes to the criteria (see new Annex).
Glede promocijskih dejavnosti (nekdanji člen 12 uredbe) meni, da je treba izboljšati obveščanje potrošnikov in organizirati kampanje ozaveščanja, hkrati pa sklade EU uporabiti tudi za svetovanje podjetjem o praktičnih vidikih registracije kategorij proizvodov.
With regard to promotion activities (former Article 12 of the regulation), it is necessary to improve consumer information and organise awareness campaigns, while also using EU funds for purposes of advising companies on the practical aspects of registering product categories.
Prav tako je nujno treba nameniti posebno pozornost malim in srednje velikim podjetjem, povečati njihovo ozaveščenost o znaku za okolje in jim pomagati pri odločanju glede meril, pri tem pa upoštevati njihove posebne potrebe.
It is also essential to pay particular attention to SMEs, increasing their awareness of Ecolabel and helping them participate in the decisions on the criteria while taking account of their specific needs.
Na koncu poročevalec meni, da je znak za okolje izjemno uporabno orodje za izboljšanje prijaznosti evropskih proizvodov do okolja ter spodbujanje raziskav in tehnoloških inovacij.
In conclusion, your rapporteur sees Ecolabel as an extremely useful tool for improving the environment-friendliness of European products and stimulating research and technological innovation.
Treba si je prizadevati, da se zagotovijo pravilni dejavniki, ki upoštevajo ekološke značilnosti proizvoda ali storitve v celotnem življenjskem krogu.
The challenge is to be able to provide accurate parameters that take account of the ecological characteristics of a product or service throughout its life-cycle.
Potrebna so merila, ki so zanesljiva in jih ni mogoče izkriviti, da se zagotovi odličnost proizvoda skozi njegov celotni življenjski krog in ohrani zaupanje potrošnikov v znamko znaka za okolje.
We need criteria that are reliable and not liable to be distorted, in order to ensure excellence across the entire life-cycle of a product and to maintain consumer confidence in the Ecolabel mark.
Vsebina in namen
Content and purpose
Namen predloga s spodnjimi spremembami je usmeriti potrošnike k okolju prijaznim proizvodom in storitvam, in sicer s podelitvijo znaka za okolje – znaka odličnosti – najbolj uspešnim proizvodom in storitvam ob upoštevanju okoljskih meril.
The proposal, as amended below, aims to guide consumers towards environmentally-friendly products and services by awarding an eco-label, a label of excellence, to top-performing products and services based on environmental criteria.
Logotip znaka za okolje (roža EU) morajo proizvajalci uporabljati kot tržno orodje ter spodbujati te proizvode in storitve.
The Eco-label logo (EU Flower) should be used by producers as a marketing tool and promote those products and services.
Predlog uredbe bi nadomestil Uredbo (ES) št. 1980/2000 o spremenjenem sistemu Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje, ker znak ni dovolj znan in ga je zaradi prezapletenih birokratskih postopkov in upravnega bremena industrija sprejela le v manjšem obsegu.
It replaces Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 on a revised Community Ecolabel award scheme, which suffers from low awareness of the label and low uptake by industry, resulting from overly bureaucratic processes and management.
Pomembni vidiki za Odbor za industrijo, raziskave in energetiko
The ITRE relevant aspects
Pregled uredbe o sistemu EU za podeljevanje znaka za okolje ima lahko koristen učinek na energetsko učinkovitost in konkurenčnost industrije v EU.
The revision of the regulation on the EU Eco-label scheme has the potential to have a positive impact on energy efficiency and industry competitiveness within the EU.
Pregled znaka EU za okolje predvideva izboljšan sistem določanja meril, ki bo odločilen pri tem, ali bo imela EU vodilno vlogo s posodobljenimi in ambicioznimi, a vseeno dosegljivimi energetsko učinkovitimi standardi.
Firstly, the revision of the EU Eco-label provides for an improved system of criteria-setting which will determine whether the EU will lead the way with up-to-date and ambitious, yet attainable, energy efficiency standards.
Poleg tega lahko pregled sistema podjetjem omogoči dodatne priložnosti.
Secondly, the revision of the scheme has the potential of presenting businesses with additional opportunities.
Tako lahko na celotnem notranjem trgu uporabijo rožo EU kot učinkovito tržno orodje, hkrati pa prispevajo k okoljski trajnosti in izpolnijo potrebe potrošnikov, ki vedno bolj povprašujejo po bolj zelenih proizvodih in storitvah.
They can use the EU Flower as an effective marketing tool throughout the Internal Market, at the same time contributing to environmental sustainability and benefiting consumers who are increasingly demanding greener products and services.
Rezultati sedanje uredbe žal niso zadovoljivi.
Regrettably, the results of the current regulation have not been satisfactory.
Zato želi pripravljavec mnenja zagotoviti, da se ustvarijo večje pobude za sodelovanje podjetij pri prostovoljnem sistemu ter preprečijo nepotrebna finančna in upravna bremena za industrijo, ne da bi s tem škodovali njeni verodostojnosti.
The draftsperson thus seeks to ensure that increased incentives for businesses to participate in the voluntary scheme are created and that all the unnecessary financial and administrative burdens on industry are avoided, but without detriment to its credibility.
Pripravljavec mnenja želi ob upoštevanju predvsem teh vprašanj izboljšati naslednje elemente predlagane uredbe.
Taking in particular these issues into account, the draftsperson seeks to improve the following elements of the proposed regulation.
Izključitev hrane iz področja uporabe uredbe
Keeping food out of the scope of the Regulation
Pregledana uredba poziva k vključitvi predelane hrane, pri kateri bi se merila za podeljevanje znaka za okolje nanašala le na predelavo, prevoz in pakiranje.
The revised regulation calls for the inclusion of processed food, whereby the criteria for awarding the Eco-label should only look at its processing, transport and packaging.
To bi povzročilo velike nedoslednosti in zmedlo potrošnike.
This would create severe inconsistencies and confuse consumers.
Predlagana uporaba uredbe za nekatero hrano (predelano hrano, proizvode ribištva in ribogojstva) bi ustvarila povsem pristransko razlikovanje med živili.
Firstly, the proposed application of the regulation to a limited fraction of food products (processed food, fishing, aquaculture) would create an arbitrary distinction between them.
Poleg tega bi z upoštevanjem izključno predelave, prevoza in pakiranja nekatere hrane kršili pristop življenjskega kroga in zanemarili fazi življenjskega kroga hrane, ki imata največji vpliv na okolje (proizvodnjo in potrošnjo).
Secondly, looking only at processing, transport and packaging of a fraction of food products would violate the life-cycle approach and neglect the phase of food products' life-cycle with the highest impact on the environment, namely production and consumption.
Vključitev hrane v pregledano uredbo pa bi lahko povzročilo tudi zmedo pri obstoječi zakonodaji na področju ekološke hrane.
Thirdly, this could lead to confusion with existing legislation on organic food.
Zato pripravljavec mnenja predlaga, da se zahteve za označevanje hrane na ravni EU obravnavajo ločeno in v skladu z obstoječo zakonodajo EU na področju hrane.
Therefore, the draftsperson proposes to work separately at EU level on labelling requirements for food products in line with existing EU food legislation.
Poudarek na pristopu, ki pri določanju meril izrecno temelji na življenjskem krogu
Stressing a clear life-cycle approach for criteria-setting
Pri oblikovanju meril je treba upoštevati celoten življenjski krog proizvodov, da se oblikujejo smiselna ekološka merila, ki potrošnike vodijo k bolj trajnostni potrošnji, industrijo pa k bolj trajnostnim načinom proizvodnje.
The development of criteria must take into account the entire life-cycle of products, in order to develop meaningful eco criteria, which allow guiding the consumer towards more sustainable consumption and industry towards more sustainable production patterns.
Izboljšanje prepoznavnosti znaka EU za okolje
Enhancing recognition of the EU Eco-label
Najvidnejša težava je, da potrošniki v EU oznake ne priznavajo.
The most striking problem is the lack of recognition of the label by EU consumers.
Zato je bistveno, da se zavedanje proizvajalcev in potrošnikov izboljša.
It is therefore of paramount importance to raise both consumer and producer awareness.
Za spodbujanje znaka za okolje so ob upoštevanju načela subsidiarnosti odgovorne države članice.
Taking into account the subsidiarity principle, the responsibility for promoting the eco-label scheme lies on Member States.
Kljub temu se na ravni EU lahko pripravijo smernice za vključevanje v proces medsebojnega pridobivanja izkušenj pri spodbujanju znaka za okolje, zlasti ker so nacionalni znaki za okolje v nekaterih državah članicah zelo uspešni.
However, some guidance can be given at EU level to engage in a process of mutual learning for promoting the Eco-label, in particular given that national eco-labels are very successful in some Member States.
Tudi javni sektor ima lahko pomembno vlogo pri spodbujanju znakov za okolje tako, da jih upošteva v postopkih javnih naročil.
Furthermore, the public sector can play an important role in promoting eco-labels by taking them into account in public purchasing procedures.
Ker dejavnosti spodbujanja potrebujejo ustrezno financiranje, je treba del prihodka, pridobljenega s pristojbino za registracijo, nameniti za spodbujanje znaka za okolje.
Since promotional activities need appropriate financing, part of the revenue raised by registration fees should be invested in the promotion of the Eco-label.
S tem bo sistem postal učinkovitejše tržno orodje in pritegnil več proizvajalcev, ki bi želeli izkoristiti njegove prednosti, pri čemer se bodo zbrala dodatna sredstva iz pristojbine.
This will make the scheme more effective as a marketing tool and attract more producers to take advantage of it, thereby generating additional registration fees.
Pristojbina za registracijo
Registration Fees
Pripravljavec mnenja z zadovoljstvom ugotavlja, da predlog ukinja veljavno letno pristojbino, ki jo pristojni organi nalagajo uporabnikom znaka za okolje, in to vidi kot pomemben korak k zmanjševanju birokratskih postopkov in upravnega bremena sistema za podjetja.
The draftsman welcomes the proposal to abolish the current annual fees being applied by competent bodies to Eco-label users, as a significant step in making the scheme less bureaucratic and reducing the administrative burden for companies.
Da se opravi registracija, pripravljavec mnenja predlaga pristojbino do 1000 EUR, ki je sorazmerna z velikostjo posameznega podjetja, hkrati pa državam članicam pušča možnost, da v okviru ukrepa za spodbujanje sistema pristojbine sploh ne zaračunajo.
In order to process registration, he proposes a fee of up to 1000 euros, proportionate to the size of each enterprise, while at the same time suggests that Member States may not charge any fees, as a measure of promotion of the scheme.
Povečanje nadzora trga
Strengthening market surveillance
Treba je povečati nadzor trga, zlasti da se zagotovijo enaki pogoji na skupnem trgu.
Market surveillance needs to be strengthened, in particular to ensure a level-playing field within the Common Market.
Zato bi bilo treba za nadzor trga predvideti razpoložljivost potrebnih sredstev v vsaki državi članici.
Therefore, provisions should be made that the necessary resources are available within each Member State to ensure market surveillance.
Pregledna in nediskriminatorna registracija
Transparent and non-discriminatory registration
Da bi preprečili diskriminacijo med proizvajalci EU in tretjih držav, morajo za registracijo za uporabo znaka za okolje veljati enaka pravila.
In order to avoid discrimination between EU and third-countries producers, the same rules for registration for use of the Eco-label should apply.
To pomeni, da proizvajalci, ki želijo uporabljati znak za okolje, registracijo opravijo v kateri koli državi članici, kjer je bil proizvod dan na trg.
This means that producers wishing to apply the Eco-label shall register in any of the Member States, in which the product has been placed on the market.
Posebne določbe morajo povečati preglednost registracije in preprečiti morebitno zmedo pri potrošnikih.
Specific provisions should enhance transparency of registration and avoid any possible consumer confusion.
Hitro povečanje števila skupin proizvodov
Rapid expansion of product groups
Uredba mora vzpostaviti sistem za hitro oblikovanje pravil za povečano število skupin proizvodov.
The regulation must set up a system that allows creating quickly criteria for an extended number of product groups.
Omejeno število skupin proizvodov je očitna ovira za širši vpliv znaka za okolje kot tržnega orodja.
The limited amount of product groups has posed an obvious barrier to a broader impact of the Eco-label as a marketing tool.
Povečanje števila skupin proizvodov bo več podjetjem omogočilo sodelovanje v sistemu.
Extending the number of product groups will thus allow more firms to take part in the scheme.
V ta namen je treba oblikovati delovni načrt in določiti časovni razpored za njegovo izvajanje.
For this purpose, a working plan should be established and timelines should be set for the implementation of this working plan.
Poleg tega pripravljavec mnenja predlaga nekaj ukrepov za zagotovitev, da merila temeljijo na znanstvenih standardih in da imajo udeleženci ustrezne kvalifikacije.
Furthermore, the draftsperson proposes some measures to ensure that criteria are based on scientific standards and that stakeholders involved are qualified.
(3) Da bi se izognili prevelikemu številu sistemov za okoljsko označevanje in spodbudili večjo okoljsko uspešnost v vseh sektorjih, v katerih potrošniki pri svoji izbiri upoštevajo vpliv na okolje, je treba razširiti možnost uporabe znaka Skupnosti za okolje.
(3) In order to avoid the proliferation of environmental labelling schemes, and to encourage higher environmental performance in all sectors for which environmental impact is a factor in consumer choice, the possibility of using the Community Ecolabel should be extended.
Vendar je treba zagotoviti jasno razlikovanje med to uredbo in Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 834/2007 z dne 28. junija 2007 o ekološki pridelavi in označevanju ekoloških proizvodov in razveljavitvi Uredbe (EGS) št. 2092/91 .
However, it is necessary to ensure a clear distinction between this Regulation and Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
Vendar je treba hrano ob upoštevanju njenih posebnosti izključiti iz področja uporabe te uredbe .
However, in the light of the specificities of food products, these should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.
Komisija mora sodelovati z vsemi zainteresiranimi stranmi, vključno z znanstveno skupnostjo, civilno družbo in industrijo, da bi omogočila oblikovanje znaka za okolje za okoljsko uspešnost predelane in nepredelane hrane, ki bi upošteval celoten življenjski krog hrane, njene posebnosti v zvezi z zdravstvenimi in prehranskimi vidiki ter obstoječ in nastajajoč pravni razvoj v Evropski uniji.
The Commission should cooperate with all stakeholders, including the scientific community, civil society and industry, to facilitate the development of an Ecolabel for the environmental performance of processed and unprocessed food products, covering the full product life-cycle, taking into account the specificities of food in terms of health and nutrition, and considering existing and emerging legal developments throughout the European Union.
Namen izključitve hrane iz obstoječe uredbe je preprečiti navzkrižje z obstoječo zakonodajo EU na področju hrane ter zmedo pri potrošnikih.
The exclusion of food from the existing Regulation aims to avoid conflicts with existing EU food legislation, as well as consumer confusion.
Izključitev je skladna tudi z načelom življenjskega kroga, ki je izredno pomemben dejavnik v tej uredbi.
It is also in line with the life-cycle principle, a parameter of paramount importance in the present Regulation.
Komisija omogoči oblikovanje znaka za okolje za okoljsko uspešnost predelane in nepredelane hrane, ki bi upošteval celoten življenjski krog hrane in posebnosti te skupine proizvodov.
The Commission shall facilitate the development of an Ecolabel for the environmental performance of processed and unprocessed food products, covering the full product life-cycle, taking into account the specificities of this product group.
(4) Sistem Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje je del politike Skupnosti za trajnostno porabo in proizvodnjo, katere cilj je zmanjšati negativni vpliv porabe in proizvodnje na okolje, zdravje in naravne vire.
(4) The Community Ecolabel scheme is part of the sustainable consumption and production policy of the Community, which aims at reducing the negative impact of consumption and production on the environment, health and natural resources.
Navedena merila morajo biti enostavna za razumevanje in uporabo ter morajo temeljiti na znanstvenih dokazih, ki upoštevajo zadnje tehnološke dosežke.
Those criteria should be simple to understand and to use , and should be based on scientific evidence taking into consideration the latest technological developments.
Ta merila morajo biti tržno usmerjena in omejena samo na najpomembnejše vplive proizvodov na okolje med njihovim celotnim življenjskim krogom, vključno s fazama proizvodnje in uporabe .
Those criteria should be market oriented and limited to the most significant environmental impacts of products during their full life cycle including the phases of manufacturing, use and obsolescence.
Merila, ki jih morajo izpolnjevati proizvodi, da bi nosili znak za okolje, morajo biti zanesljiva.
The criteria which products must comply with in order to bear the Ecolabel have to be trustworthy.
To bi lahko zagotovili le, če bi ta merila temeljila na zanesljivih znanstvenih dokazih in če bi redno upoštevala najnovejši tehnološki razvoj.
This can only happen if they are based on a solid scientific basis and if they regularly take into account up-to-date technological developments.
Upoštevati bi morala še, kolikor je to mogoče, porabljene vire ter vplive na okolje in zdravje, ki so povezani s celotnim življenjskim krogom proizvoda (blaga ali storitve).
Those criteria have also to take into account, as far as possible, all resources consumed and all environmental and health implications that are associated with the complete life cycle of a product (good or service).
(4a) Sistem Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje mora upoštevati veljavno zakonodajo Skupnosti, da bi se izognili različnim pristopom za oceno varnosti.
(4a) The Community Ecolabel scheme should take into account existing Community legislation so as to avoid divergent approaches to safety assessment.
Zaradi uredbe o znaku za okolje Evropska skupnost ne sme sprejeti različnih pristopov za oceno varnosti, upravljanje in uporabo kemikalij, ki jih danes zajemata uredba REACH ter direktiva o razvrščanju in označevanju.
The Ecolabel Regulation should not lead to the European Community adopting differing approaches to the safety assessment, management and use of chemicals, covered today by REACH and the Classification and Labelling Directive.
Prevladati mora veljavna zakonodaja.
Existing legislation should prevail.
(6) Da bi poenostavili sistem Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje in zmanjšali upravno breme, povezano z uporabo znaka za okolje, je treba postopke ocenjevanja in preverjanja nadomestiti s sistemom registriranja .
(6) In order to simplify the Community Ecolabel scheme and to reduce the administrative burden linked to the use of the Ecolabel, the assessment and verification procedures should be replaced by a registration system.
(6) Da bi poenostavili sistem Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje in zmanjšali upravno breme, povezano z uporabo znaka za okolje, je treba postopke ocenjevanja in preverjanja vključiti v usklajen sistem registriranja, ki ga morajo uporabljati države članice in pristojni organi .
(6) In order to simplify the Community Ecolabel scheme and to reduce the administrative burden linked to the use of the Ecolabel, the assessment and verification procedures should be included in a harmonised registration system which should be applied across the Member States and competent bodies .
