– Uvedba novega pravnega instrumenta za reševanje prehrambene krize je značilna za težnjo po reševanju razmer za vsak primer in za vsako leto posebej.
- The creation of a new legal instrument to tackle this food crisis is symptomatic of the trend in tackling situations on a case-by-case and annual basis.
Pripravljavec mnenja poudarja, da bi bilo treba priporočila Evropskega sveta iz njegovih sklepov (zlasti tistih z 19. in 20. junija 2008) obravnavati na podlagi večletnega pristopa.
The draftsperson points out that the recommendations made by the European Council in its conclusions (notably those of 19-20 June 2008) should be dealt with on the basis of a multi-annual approach.
1a. meni, da referenčni znesek iz zakonodajnega predloga ni združljiv z zgornjo mejo iz razdelka 4 večletnega finančnega okvira, če se ta zgornja meja ne prilagodi glede na določbe iz medinstitucionalnega sporazuma s 17. maja 2006 o proračunski disciplini in dobrem finančnem poslovodenju; meni, da financiranje tega instrumenta podpore ne sme ogroziti financiranja drugih prednostnih nalog in sedanjih obveznosti EU;
Considers that the reference amount indicated in the legislative proposal is not compatible with the ceiling of heading 4 of the multi-annual financial framework (MFF) without adjusting the ceiling according to the provisions laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement (IIA) of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management; considers that the financing of this facility instrument should not jeopardise the financing of other priorities and current commitments of the EU;
Pred dokončnim sprejetjem zakonodajnega akta morata veji proračunskega organa začeti pogajanja, s katerimi bosta dosegli sporazum o financiranju tega instrumenta, in raziskati vse možnosti v okviru medinstitucionalnega sporazuma, tudi oblikovanje novega začasnega sklada.
Before the final adoption of the legislative act, the two arms of the budgetary authority should enter into negotiations to reach an agreement on the financing of this facility exploring all the possibilities available under the IIA, including the creation of a new temporary fund.
1c. meni, da morata veji proračunskega organa v teh pogajanjih preučiti vse možnosti financiranja, vključno z razširitvijo rezerve za nujno pomoč; meni tudi, da to skupno financiranje ne sme preseči ene milijarde EUR;
Considers that, in the course of these negotiations, the two branches of the budgetary authority should examine all possibilities of financing, including the extension of the Emergency Aid Reserve; considers that this total financing must not exceed 1 billion euros;
Poleg tega je v sklepih navedel, da bo za polno podporo napredka pri doseganju vseh razvojnih ciljev tisočletja Evropska unija sprostila ustrezna sredstva, s katerimi bo lahko poleg pomoči v hrani financirala „varnostne mreže“ za revne in ogrožene skupine prebivalstva, in da bo odločno podprla zanesljivo preskrbo s kmetijskimi proizvodi v državah v razvoju, zlasti pa bo zagotovila potrebno financiranje za kmetijska proizvodna sredstva in pomoč za uporabo tržnih instrumentov za obvladovanje tveganja, ter pozdravil namero Komisije, da bo v okviru sedanjega finančnega okvira pripravila predlog novega sklada za podporo kmetijstvu v državah v razvoju.
In addition it was stated that , in order to fully support progress towards all Millennium Development Goals, the European Union will mobilise resources to finance, beyond food aid, safety nets for poor and vulnerable population groups, that the EU will support a strong agricultural supply response in developing countries, providing in particular the necessary financing for agricultural inputs and assistance in using market-based risk management instrument and welcomed the Commission's intention to come forward with a proposal for a new fund to support agriculture in developing countries, within the current financial framework.
(5a) Na istem zasedanju je Evropski svet ponovno potrdil svojo zavezanost doseganju ciljev uradne razvojne pomoči leta 2010 (0,56 % BND EU) in leta 2015 (0,70 % BND EU), kar bi pomenilo podvojitev letne uradne razvojne pomoči EU v letu 2010; zaradi teh obveznosti je nedvomno potrebno večletno proračunsko načrtovanje razvojne pomoči EU.
(5a) During the same meeting, the European Council reaffirmed its commitment to meeting the EU Official Development Assistance (ODA) targets in 2010 and 2015 (0,56 % and 0,70 % of EU GNI respectively), which would represent a doubling of the amount of annual EU ODA in 2010; such commitments clearly make a multi-annual budget programming of EU development aid necessary.
Zato je treba odhodke, potrebne za kritje teh ukrepov, financirati v razdelku 4 večletnega finančnega okvira „EU kot globalni partner“.
The expenditure required to cover these actions should therefore be financed under Heading 4 of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF): "The EU as a global partner".
(13a) V skladu s členom 276 Pogodbe o ES se za izvajanje instrumenta uporablja letni postopek za podelitev razrešnice.
(13a) According to Article 276 of the EC Treaty, the implementation of the facility is subject to the annual discharge procedure.
(15a) Instrument mora biti usmerjen k poenostavitvi mikrokreditiranja malih kmetijskih proizvajalcev v državah v razvoju, ki jih je prizadela kriza.
(15a) The facility should focus on microcredit facilitation for small agricultural producers in the developing countries affected by the crisis.
Člen 3 – odstavek 2 – točka b a (novo)
Article 3 – paragraph 2 – point ba (new)
Skupni finančni referenčni znesek za izvajanje te uredbe za obdobje 2008–2009 znaša 1,0 milijarde EUR.
The total financial reference amount for the implementation of this Regulation over the period 2008-2009 shall be EUR 1.0 billion.
Ta referenčni znesek se financira iz razdelka 4 finančnega okvira.
This reference amount shall be financed under Heading 4 of the Financial Framework.
Letni znesek bo določen v letnem proračunskem postopku.
The annual amount will be decided in the context of the annual budgetary procedure.
Za kritje potreb iz predlagane uredbe se večletni finančni okvir prilagodi z vsemi sredstvi, predvidenimi v medinstitucionalnem sporazumu s 17. maja 2006.
In order to cover the needs flowing from the proposed Regulation, the Multiannual Financial Framework shall be adjusted by all means provided for in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.
Če se del ali celota odobrenih proračunskih sredstev uporabi iz razpoložljive razlike v razdelku 2 finančnega okvira, je treba v tem razdelku za vsako leto v skladu z napovedmi iz najnovejšega poročila, pripravljenega na podlagi sistema zgodnjega opozarjanja iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1290/2005, pustiti razliko do zgornje meje v višini najmanj 600 milijonov EUR.
Should part or the entirety of the appropriations be used from the available margin of Heading 2 of the Financial Framework, a margin of at least EUR 600 million, based on the forecast of the most recent early warning system report as established in Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 , shall be left, for each year, under this heading .
MNENJE Odbora za kmetijstvo in razvoj podeželja
OPINION of the committee on agriculture and rural development (*)
o predlogu uredbe Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o ustanovitvi instrumenta za hitro odzivanje na hitro naraščajoče cene hrane v državah v razvoju
on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council regulation establishing a facility for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries
I) Prehrambena kriza zaradi povišanja cen hrane
I) Background: price rises at the origin of a food crisis
Značilnost zadnjih dveh let je izreden preobrat na svetovnih trgih kmetijskih proizvodov in živil, katerih realne vrednosti cen so se v zadnjih tridesetih letih stalno zniževale.
The past two years will be noted for a spectacular turnaround in global agricultural produce and food markets, in which trends over 30 years have accustomed us to a steady fall in prices in real terms.
Skokovito naraščanje cen, ki je posledica te spremembe, je povzročilo makroekonomsko nestabilnost in resnično prehrambeno krizo, ki sta najbolj prizadeli najranljivejše prebivalstvo na svetu, zlasti v državah, kjer so vojne, in v najrevnejših državah, v katerih je še vedno več kot 50 % proračuna namenjenega prehrani.
The soaring prices brought about by this change have led to macroeconomic disruption and a genuine food crisis, affecting most markedly the most vulnerable populations on the planet, particularly those living in countries at war and in the poorest countries, where people spend more than half their earnings just to feed themselves.
Posledica takšnega naraščanja cen je povečanje že tako velikega števila revnih in podhranjenih ter nevarnosti lakote, kar , kot vemo, vpliva na politično stabilnost in mednarodno geostrateško ravnovesje.
A consequence of these price rises has been an increase in already high rates of poverty, malnutrition and famine risk, with an all-too-familiar impact on political stability and international geostrategic balances.
Prehrambena kriza, ki je sprožila spomladanske nemire zaradi lakote, je odraz strukturnega povečanja svetovnega povpraševanja po kmetijskih proizvodih, povezanega z demografsko rastjo, spremembo prehrambenih navad in razvojem agrogoriv.
This food crisis, dramatically illustrated by the hunger riots last spring, is set against a context of a structural increase in global demand for agricultural produce, linked to a demographic expansion, changes in food habits and the development of agro-fuels.
Povezana je tudi s finančno krizo, ki jo zaznamuje povečana špekulacija na kmetijskih trgih.
It is combined with a financial crisis marked by increased speculation on agricultural markets.
Pojavlja se v času, ko se na severni in južni polobli začenja meriti vpliv segrevanja ozračja in zmanjšanja naravnih virov (voda, energija, izginjanje biotske raznovrstnosti itd.) na kmetijstvo v svetu.
And it comes at a time when, in the North and the South, we are beginning to gauge the impact of global warming and scarcity of natural resources (water, energy, loss of biodiversity, etc.) on the planet’s agriculture.
Kriza, ki ni zgolj prehodnega značaja, vpliva na celotno kmetijstvo sveta in uvršča vprašanje kmetijske proizvodnje in prehrambeno ravnovesje v središče razprav.
This crisis, which is not simply a passing phenomenon, affects agriculture in all parts of the world and is putting the question of agricultural production and the major food balances at the centre of the debate.
– Zaradi deregulacije in politike strukturnega prilagajanja, ki so ju v skladu z zahtevami Mednarodnega denarnega sklada in Svetovne banke dvajset let izvajali v najrevnejših državah, je njihova preskrba s hrano močno odvisna od uvoza.
- The deregulation and structural adjustment policies imposed for 20 years by the IMF and the World Bank on the poorest countries made their food supply strongly dependent on imports.
Prenizke mednarodne cene živil v primerjavi z lokalnimi proizvodnimi stroški so zavirale razvoj njihovega kmetijstva.
International food prices being too low by comparison with their local production costs discouraged their own agricultural development.
Te cene so odvisne od konkurenčnosti med proizvodnimi območji z visoko produktivnostjo, od katerih so nekatera subvencionirana.
Remember that these international prices result from competition between high-productivity areas of production, some of which are subsidised.
– Pogajanja Svetovne trgovinske organizacije o svetovni trgovini kmetijskih proizvodov (manj od 10 % proizvodnje) za liberalizacijo trgovine med plačilno sposobnimi akterji ne omogočajo preskrbe najrevnejših potrošnikov s hrano.
- The WTO negotiations on global trade in farm products (less than 10% of production) designed to liberalise trade between solvent actors do not allow food to be provided to the poorest consumers.
– Politike razvojne pomoči so se obvezale s finančnimi obljubami, ki niso bile izpolnjene.
- Commitments were made to development aid polices on the basis of financial promises that were not kept.
Poleg tega so se radikalno odvrnile od kmetijstva, čeprav gre za sektor, ki je odločilen za vse vrste razvoja in življenjskega pomena za 75 % revnega svetovnega prebivalstva, ki živi na podeželju.
Furthermore, they radically moved away from agriculture, which is the decisive sector for kick-starting any development and vital for 75% of the world’s poor living in rural areas.
Evropska unija danes namenja kmetijstvu le 4 % sredstev svoje razvojne politike.
Today the European Union allocates only 4% of appropriations under its development policy to agriculture.
II) Hitro odzivanje Unije na hitro naraščajoče cene hrane v državah v razvoju
II) A rapid response by the Union to soaring food prices in developing countries
A) Predlog Komisije
A) The Commission proposal
Komisija si je prizadevala, da bi na podlagi zahtev Evropskega parlamenta in držav članic (zasedanje Sveta za splošne zadeve in Evropskega sveta 19. in 20. junija) sprejela skupne ukrepe za države v razvoju.
The Commission has endeavoured to respond to requests from the European Parliament and then the Member States (General Affairs Council followed by the European Council of 19 and 20 June) by undertaking a collective action in support of developing countries.
Potem ko je nekoliko prilagodila sedanje instrumente svoje razvojne politike, da bi se odzvala na povišanje cen hrane, predlaga dodatno kratkoročno financiranje v višini ene milijarde EUR iz razpoložljivih skladov skupne kmetijske politike.
After marginally adjusting the existing development policy instruments by way of response to rising food prices, it proposed an additional short-term financing of € 1 billion, to come from funds available under the CAP.
Ta pobuda, ki je nekje med nujno pomočjo in razvojem, je namenjena podpori kmetijske ponudbe držav v razvoju, ki so najbolj prizadete zaradi naraščanja cen hrane, in dejavnostim, ki omogočajo ublažitev negativnih posledic povišanja cen hrane.
This initiative, part-way between emergency aid and development, aims to support agricultural supply in the developing countries most affected by the rise in food prices, as well as activities that will mitigate its negative effects.
Sprejeti ukrepi zadevajo izboljšanje dostopa do kmetijskih vložkov in storitev (vključno z gnojili in semeni) ter ukrepe „varnostnih mrež“, namenjene ohranjanju ali izboljšanju proizvodne zmogljivosti v kmetijstvu in zadovoljevanju osnovnih potreb po hrani najranljivejših prebivalcev.
The measures involved concern improving access to agricultural inputs and services (including fertilizers and seeds) and ‘safety net’ measures aimed at maintaining or improving the agricultural productive capacity and addressing the basic food needs of the most deprived populations.
B) Splošno mnenje poročevalca
B) The rapporteur’s overall assessment
Poročevalec izraža solidarnost s prebivalstvom najrevnejših držav, ki trpijo hude posledice prehrambene krize, in podpira pobudo Komisije.
In view of the dramatic consequences of the food crisis on populations in the poorest countries, the rapporteur expresses his solidarity for those affected by supporting the Commission’s initiative.
Načelni podpori želi vseeno dodati nekaj pripomb:
However, to that support in principle the rapporteur would add a number of observations:
Pripombe glede proračuna :
Budgetary considerations :
– Poročevalec, ki sicer nima pomislekov glede pobude, navaja, da mora biti uporaba neizkoriščenih sredstev skupne kmetijske politike izjema.
- Without calling into question the initiative, the rapporteur would point out that drawing on unused CAP funds must be an exception.
Pomembno je, da bo lahko Unija v prihodnosti izpolnila vse obveznosti do svojih kmetovalcev, zlasti v novih državah članicah, ki še ne prejemajo takšne pomoči, kot jo prejemajo kmetovalci v petnajstih starih državah članicah.
It is important that the Union continues to be able to meet all its commitments to farmers, particularly those in the new countries, who still do not receive the same level of support as their counterparts in the 15 old Member States.
Prav tako je treba Komisiji in Svetu pripomniti, da je imelo povišanje kmetijskih cen negativne in celo katastrofalne posledice za nekatere evropske kmetovalce, zlasti rejce.
It should also be pointed out to the Commission and the Council that the rise in agricultural prices has also had negative, not to say disastrous, repercussions for certain European farmers, particularly stock farmers.
Zato je treba njihov položaj upoštevati pri pripravi proračuna in preoblikovanju skupne kmetijske politike, ki je predvideno v pregledu zdravstvenega stanja.
It is important, therefore, also to understand their situation both when the budget is being prepared and also in the rescheduling of the CAP provided for in the ‘health check’.
Pripombe glede kmetijskega področja, zajetega v pobudi:
Considerations on the agricultural aspect of the initiative :
– Poročevalec pozdravlja, da se končno večjo pozornost namenja kmetijstvu in zlasti kmetijski proizvodnji v najrevnejših državah.
- The rapporteur welcomes the fact that more attention is finally being paid to agriculture, and particularly to agricultural production in the poorest countries.
Meni, da je nujno ovrednotiti vse kmetijstvo in prehrambene pridelke v svetu, da bo vsaka regija zagotovila kar največ potreb svojega prebivalstva.
He believes it is vital to develop all the world’s agricultures and food cultures so that every region is best able to meet the needs of its population.
– Pozdravlja, da je Komisija dala poudarek ukrepom za olajšanje začetka proizvodnje: dostop najrevnejših kmetovalcev (ki predstavljajo 80 % slabo prehranjenih) do sredstev in storitev, ter ukrepom „varnostnih mrež“, ki bi lahko pomagali tržišču lokalne proizvodnje z izboljšanjem kupne moči revnih potrošnikov.
- The rapporteur welcomes the Commission’s emphasis on measures intended to kick-start production - access to resources and services for the poorest farmers (who account for close to 80% of the undernourished) - and on ‘safety net’ measures to help markets for local production by improving the purchasing power of poor consumers.
Kljub temu želi, da bi Komisija podrobneje opredelila ukrepe za spodbujanje proizvodnje, ki bi se lahko financirali: dostop do vode in mikrokreditov, podpora organizaciji proizvajalcev za proizvodnjo in trženje ter podpora skladiščenju.
However, he would like to see the Commission provide more detail on production-related actions that could be financed: access to water and to microcredits, support for producer organisations for production and marketing and storage.
– Poročevalec priporoča Komisiji, naj za zagotovitev učinkovitosti ta instrument vključi v resnično skupno strategijo za spodbujanje razmaha kmetijske proizvodnje v okviru trajnostnega razvoja, prilagojenega potrebam prebivalstva in naravnim možnostim zadevnih območij.
- For the sake of efficiency, the rapporteur recommends that the Commission incorporate this facility into a genuine global strategy intended to help kick-start agricultural production within a sustainable development framework adapted to the needs of the populations concerned and to the natural potentials of the territories concerned.
To predpostavlja dva pogoja:
This presupposes two conditions:
1) Delovanje v prihodnosti:
1) Action over a sustained period:
Poročevalec se sprašuje, kakšen bo pomen pobude v prihodnosti.
The rapporteur questions the duration of this initiative.
Izvajanje tega instrumenta je predvideno kratkoročno, ovrednotenje možnosti v kmetijstvu pa zahteva čas in kontinuiteto.
This facility is envisaged as a short-term commitment, whereas developing a potential in agriculture requires time and continuity.
Kmetovalec mora svoje dejavnosti (kulture, naložbe...) vedno predvideti eno ali več let vnaprej.
Farmers always need to make choices looking ahead over a year or more (crops, investments, etc.).
Potrebuje okvir in predvidljivost, vključno s stabilnostjo cen svojih proizvodov.
They need a framework and predictability, not least concerning the stability of prices for their products.
Kaj se bo zgodilo po enem letu, ko sredstev za dostop do kmetijskih vložkov in storitev ter ukrepe „varnostnih mrež“, ki jih bo ta instrument financiral, ne bo več?
What will happen a year down the road when the resources for access to inputs and services and then the ‘safety net’ measures financed by the facility have disappeared?
Ali so bile te razsežnosti zadosti upoštevane v sedanjih srednje- in dolgoročnih razvojnih instrumentih, ki naj bi bili prilagojeni zgornjim mejam, da bi vanje vključili povišanje cen hrane, saj je v njih delež, ki je namenjen kmetijstvu, izredno nizek?
Has sufficient account been taken of these dimensions in the existing medium- and long-term development instruments, which, we are told, have been readjusted at the margins to incorporate the rise in food prices but in which the share devoted to agriculture remains extremely small.
2) Delovanje na gospodarsko ureditev:
2) Action on economic regulation:
V globalnem in čedalje bolj liberaliziranem gospodarstvu mednarodni trgi kmetijskih proizvodov in živil, ki so po naravi nestabilni, postavljajo naproti zelo različne ravni konkurenčnosti kmetijstva po vsem svetu.
In an increasingly liberalised and globalised economy, international markets in agricultural and food products, unstable by their very nature, result in confrontation between the extremely different levels of competitiveness of the world’s agricultures.
Ta igra povzroča hude pretrese na lokalnih trgih najrevnejših držav, ki praktično – kot je že bilo navedeno – nimajo več zaščite na svojih mejah.
It is this which is at the origin of the serious disturbances in the local markets of the poorest countries, which, as indicated above, have practically no protection at their borders any longer.
Takšne razmere negativno vplivajo na razvoj domače proizvodnje, kadar so svetovne cene nizke.
This situation handicaps the development of domestic production when global prices are low.
Kadar pa so visoke tako kot sedaj, jih ni mogoče znižati, ne da bi bila potrebna določena regulacija proizvodnje in svetovnih cen.
But inversely, when they are high, as now, it is impossible to shift them downwards without to some extent regulating production and global prices.
V zvezi s tem poročevalec ne razume, kako lahko Komisija pričakuje, da bo ta „skromni instrument“ ublažil povečanje cen hrane.
On this point the rapporteur does not understand how the Commission can expect this ‘modest facility’ to mitigate the rise in food prices.
– Komisija pri izvajanju instrumenta nikjer ne navaja sodelovanja lokalnih akterjev (kmetovalcev, potrošnikov, pristojnih oseb) in nevladnih organizacij, čeprav je uspešen razvoj odvisen od tega, da si ljudje sami oblikujejo svojo usodo.
- As far as the implementation of the facility is concerned, the Commission makes no mention of the participation of local actors (farmers, consumers, officials) or indeed NGOs, even though successful development always involves people taking responsibility for their own destiny.
Pripombe o izvajanja tega instrumenta:
Considerations on the implementation of the facility :
Poročevalec se želi prepričati, da bo upravna usposobljenost Unije omogočila učinkovito uporabo ene milijarde EUR sredstev.
The rapporteur wants to be sure that the Union has the administrative capacity to use the € 1 billion appropriation effectively.
Zato poziva Komisijo, naj deluje na podlagi splošne strategije in v skladu z drugimi razvojnim programi in ukrepi.
To that end he calls on the Commission to act within an overall strategy and coherently with the other development programmes and actions.
Poziva jo tudi, naj kar najbolj preveri usposobljenost organizacij, s katerimi bo sklenila sodelovanje.
He also calls on the Commission to secure the maximum possible guarantees as regards the capacities of the organisations it contracts.
