Z dodatnim predlogom spremembe bi morala biti zagotovljena uporaba člena 14 tudi v primeru, ko še ni bil imenovan dodatni izvajalec univerzalne storitve, saj se že pri enem ponudniku izkrivljeno pripisovanje stroškov lahko izkaže za oviro pri dostopu do trga.
A further amendment seeks to guarantee the application of Article 14 even when no other universal service providers have been appointed, since even where there is only one provider, distorted accounting by this provider could effectively act as a barrier to market access.
e) S pripisovanjem stroškov je povezan tudi dodatni sklop vprašanj navzkrižnega subvencioniranja.
e) A further complex of issues related to accounting is that of cross-subsidy.
Poročevalec tukaj vnaša dva predloga spremembe k uvodnim izjavam.
On this topic your rapporteur has tabled two amendments to recitals.
Moralo bi biti jasno, da nadzor nad navzkrižnimi subvencijami spada v pristojnost Komisije; uvodno izjavo 25 je treba zato črtati.
The first seeks to make clear that the monitoring of cross-subsidy falls within the Commission’s sphere of competence: Recital 25 should therefore be deleted.
Predlog spremembe k uvodni izjavi 26 pa je namenjen jasnejšemu in glede na povzročitelja utemeljenemu pripisovanju skupnih stroškov, da se prepreči navzkrižno subvencioniranje.
The second amendment, to Recital 26, seeks to achieve a clear allocation of common costs on the basis of their origin in order to avoid cross-subsidy.
f) Za delujoč trg poštnih storitev so pomembna tudi jasna pravila igre na področju konkurence in državne pomoči.
f) Clear rules on competition law and state aids are another important element in an operational postal market.
Tukaj poročevalec predlaga dva predloga spremembe (k uvodni izjavi 26a in členu 23), v katerih je omenjena potreba po smernicah Komisije.
To that end your rapporteur has tabled two amendments (on Recital 26a and Article 23) which urge the Commission to provide interpretative communications on these matters.
g) K odpravi upravnega oz. birokratskega bremena pripomoreta tudi predlog spremembe za oblikovanje statističnih podatkov (k členu 22a, odstavku 1b) ter predlog spremembe za večji časovni razmik med poročili Komisije (k členu 23).
g) The amendments on the collection of statistics (on Article 22a (1b)) and on a longer interval between Commission reports (Article 23) are intended to contribute to the dismantling of administrative / bureaucratic burdens.
h) Nadaljnji predlogi sprememb obravnavajo dostop do distribucijske mreže (člen 11a) in medsebojno usklajeno delovanje (uvodna izjava 22).
h) Further amendments relate to access to the distribution network (Article 11a) and interoperability (Recital 22).
Glede vprašanja financiranja poročevalec meni, da imajo s seznamom Komisije (člen 7) države članice na voljo ustrezne rešitve.
On the matter of financing, your rapporteur considers that the Commission's list (Article 7) offers the Member States appropriate solutions.
Dodatne rešitve, ki to presegajo, so bile poročevalcu med njegovimi posvetovanji nekajkrat omenjene, vendar ni bilo prepričljivih nadomestnih konceptov.
Additional solutions which go beyond this list have been suggested to your rapporteur during the course of his consultations, but no convincing alternative concepts have been put forward.
Zato na to temo ni vloženih dodatnih predlogov sprememb.
Your rapporteur has therefore not tabled any amendments on this point.
Ta datum opominja Parlament in Svet, da morata ravnati odločno, če se želita izogniti nevarnosti, da bi na začetku leta 2009 direktiva prenehala veljati, kar bi pomenilo vrnitev na primarno zakonodajo in to, da smo se odrekli naši zakonodajni pristojnosti.
This deadline stands as a warning to Parliament and Council to take decisive action, so that we are not faced with the risk of the Directive expiring at the beginning of 2009 and having to resort to primary law, thereby relinquishing our legislative competence.
o predlogu direktive Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o spremembi Direktive 97/67/ES glede popolnega izoblikovanja notranjega trga poštnih storitev v Skupnosti
on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council directive amending Directive 97/67/EC concerning the full accomplishment of the internal market of Community postal services
Evropska komisija je 18. oktobra 2006 v skladu z drugo poštno direktivo Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta 2002/39/ES z dne 10. junija 2002 in na podlagi opravljene študije svetovalne hiše PriceWaterhouseCoopers iz leta 2006
On 18 October 2006, in accordance with the second postal directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 (2002/39/EC), and on the basis of a study undertaken by the consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2006
„Vpliv dokončnega oblikovanja notranjega trga poštnih storitev v letu 2009 na univerzalno storitev“ PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2006. , sprejela predlog direktive o popolnem izoblikovanju notranjega trga poštnih storitev v Skupnosti.
'The impact on universal service of the full market accomplishment of the postal internal market in 2009', PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2006. , the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive seeking to complete the internal market in Community postal services.
Osnovni predlog osnutka direktive je, da se s 1. januarjem 2009 odpravi „rezervirano področje“ (preostali monopol) za poštne pošiljke, lažje od 50 gramov.
The main plank of the proposal for a directive is the elimination of the 'reserved area' (residual monopoly) for mail weighing less than 50 grams, with effect from 1 January 2009.
Pomembno vprašanje, ki se zastavlja ob tej zadnji fazi liberalizacije poštne storitve, je financiranje univerzalne storitve in možnih dodatnih obveznosti javne poštne storitve.
The main question raised by this final stage in the liberalisation of postal service is the financing of universal service and possible additional public postal service obligations.
I - Bistvo predloga Komisije
I - The two main points of the Commission proposal
Ø Jedro predloga Komisije so določbe novega člena 7 poštne direktive:
Ø The main focus of the Commission's proposal is to be found in the provisions of the new Article 7 it is introducing into the postal directive, which:
– s 1. januarjem 2009 se odpravi „rezervirano področje“,
- abolishes the 'reserved area' with effect from 1 January 2009;
– uvedeno je načelo zagotavljanja univerzalne storitve znotraj pravil konkurence in z ustreznim upoštevanjem pravil za javna naročila (odstavek 2) za države, ki to želijo,
- introduces the principle of ensuring provision of universal service, in a framework of competition and with due regard for public procurement rules (paragraph 2) by those Member States which so desire;
– uvedena sta načelo ocenjevanja neto stroškov obveznosti javne storitve in možnost za njihovo delitev (odstavek 3):
- introduces the principle of evaluating the net cost of public service obligations and the possibility of sharing their cost (paragraph 3):
– z državno pomočjo,
- by state aids;
– s kompenzacijskim skladom, ki se lahko financira s pristojbinami, ki jih plačajo izvajalci storitve in/ali uporabniki,
- by a compensation fund which may be financed by service providers' and/or users' fees
– z mehanizmom „plačaj ali sodeluj“, po katerem je pridobitev dovoljenja odvisna od obveznosti univerzalne storitve oziroma prispevanja v kompenzacijski sklad.
- or by a 'pay-or-play' mechanism, making the granting of authorisations subject to universal service obligations or the financing of a compensation fund.
Ø S predlogom Komisije so tudi opredeljeni postopki za dovoljenja in izdajo licenc, odvisni od upoštevanja bistvenih obveznosti univerzalne storitve (člen 9), pregleden in nediskriminatoren dostop do drugega sektorja (distribucija) poštne infrastrukture (člen 11a) in pravila ločenosti računovodstva in izračunavanja stroškov med izvajalci tržnih storitev in izvajalci univerzalne storitve (člen 14).
Ø The Commission proposal also introduces procedures for authorisation and granting of licenses which are subject to compliance with essential universal service obligations (Article 9), transparent and non-discriminatory access to the downstream sector (distribution) of postal infrastructure (Article 11a), and rules on accounting separation and cost calculation distinguishing between providers of market services and providers of universal service (Article 14).
Ø Predpisana so pravila v zvezi z varstvom potrošnikov, obravnavo pritožb in pravnih sredstev (člen 19) ter naloge nacionalnih regulativnih organov (člen 22).
Ø It lays down rules on consumer protection, dealing with complaints and means of redress (Article 19) and spells out the tasks to be undertaken by national regulatory authorities (Article 22).
Ø Komisija namesto rezerviranega področja državam članicam predlaga več možnih načinov financiranja (načelo subsidiarnosti):
Ø In place of the 'reserved area' the Commission is proposing several financing options for Member States (subsidiarity principle), including:
- kompenzacijski sklad , ki se financira s prispevki izvajalcev ali uporabnikov,
- a compensation fund financed either by levies either on entrants or items.
- odobritev vključno z donosnim in nedonosnim območjem ,
- an authorisation procedure including a profitable and a non-profitable zone .
- postopek po načelu „plačaj ali sodeluj“ , kar pomeni, da se izvajalec odloči bodisi za financiranje univerzalne storitve bodisi za plačilo prispevka, kateri bi ustrezal kombinaciji prvih dveh postopkov.
- a 'pay-or-play' type procedure , which would entail either choosing to finance universal service or paying a fee, which would be tantamount to a combination of the two preceding procedures.
II – Novi predlogi pripravljavke mnenja:
II - New proposals by draftsman:
Če si različne metode financiranja univerzalne storitve, ki jih v osnutku direktive predlaga Komisija, sicer zaslužijo naše pozornosti, pa vendarle ni objektivnega razloga, zakaj naj bi se izključila možnost rezerviranega področja:
While the various methods of financing universal service proposed by the Commission in its proposal for a directive are worthy of examination, there is no objective reason why the 'reserved area' option should be ruled out:
- Prvič, noben od novih načinov financiranja se ni neizpodbitno izkazal kot boljši od rezerviranega področja, za katerega velja, da mu uporabniki ne oporekajo, je pregleden in nevtralen, ne zahteva državne pomoči, je ekonomičen glede stroškov transakcij, ne sproža bistvenih sporov ter ga ekonomska teorija na splošno priznava.
- In fact, none of these new modes of funding has provided irrefutable proof of superiority over the 'reserved area' system, which is accepted without challenge by users, is transparent and neutral, does not entail state aid, involves law transaction costs and few disputes and is generally validated by economic theory.
- Drugič, upoštevanje načela subsidiarnosti pri izbiri načina financiranja univerzalne storitve pomeni, da iz direktive ne bi smela biti izključena prav nobena možnost.
- Secondly, the need to comply with the subsidiarity principle when choosing the mode of financing universal service means that the directive should not exclude any of the options.
Nedavne strokovne študije
Since recent scientific studies
Boldron F., Joram D., Martin L. in Roy B., - « From Size of the Box to the Costs of Universal Service Obligation: A Cross-Country Comparison », v “Liberalization of the Postal and Delivery Sector”, urednika Michael Crew in Paul Kleindorfer, Edward Elgar, 2006. so jasno pokazale, da nacionalne spremenljivke, kot so topografija, gostota prebivalstva, navade uporabnikov poštnih storitev (povprečno število razdeljenih pošiljk na prebivalca) sprožajo precejšnje razlike v stroških za isto univerzalno storitev, kar pomeni, da ni sporno samo rezervirano področje, pač pa določitev standardnega praga v vseh državah članicah (sedaj 50 gramov) .
Boldron F., Joram D., Martin L. and Roy B., - « From Size of the Box to the Costs of Universal Service Obligation: A Cross-Country Comparison », in “Liberalization of the Postal and Delivery Sector”, edited by Michael Crew and Paul Kleindorfer, Edward Elgar, 2006. clearly show that national variables such as topography, population density and the habits of postal services consumers (average number of items delivered per inhabitant) produce considerable disparities in the cost of supplying the same universal services, it is not so much the 'reserved area' system that appears questionable, but rather the setting of a standard threshold in all Member States (currently 50 grams).
Zato ni niti ekonomskega niti logičnega razloga za izločitev rezerviranega področja iz možnih načinov financiranja univerzalnih poštnih storitev, vse dokler se ne opravi natančni izračun stroškov izvajanja te storitve v posameznih državah članicah na podlagi navedenih nacionalnih spremenljivk.
There is therefore no economic or logical reason for ruling out the 'reserved area' system as a possible means of financing universal postal services, provided the cost of supplying that service can be calculated accurately in each Member State on the basis of the abovementioned national variables.
Povsem normalno je, da se državam članicam predlagajo nove vrste mehanizmov financiranja univerzalne storitve, vseeno pa moramo na žalost opozoriti na naslednje:
While it is perfectly natural that new types of mechanisms for financing universal service should be proposed to the Member States, it is to be regretted that:
Ø Evropska komisija si ni vzela čas za resno in neodvisno primerjalno študijo stroškov ter ugotovljenih ali teoretičnih prednosti posameznih predlaganih načinov financiranja univerzalne storitve, vključno z rezerviranim področjem
Ø the Commission has not taken the time to have a serious and independent comparative study carried out into their cost, and the established or theoretical benefits of the various modes of financing universal service put forward, including the 'reserved area'.
Ø Evropska komisija ni v nobeni točki predlagala prilagoditve praga rezerviranega področja glede na stroške izvajanja univerzalne storitve v posameznih državah članicah, kot so bili izračunani v več strokovnih študijah
Ø the Commission has at no time proposed adjusting the 'reserved area' threshold on the basis of the cost of providing universal service in the various Member States, as calculated by various scientific studies
Prav tam. , kar bi sicer omogočilo, da ta metoda financiranja ne bi več vodila v zlorabe monopolnega položaja in izkrivljanje konkurence, do česar danes prihaja za to, ker metoda ne temelji na dejanskih stroških.
Ibid. , so as to rid this method of financing of the abuses of monopoly position and distortions of competition it currently entails as a result of not being based on actual costs.
Pripravljavka mnenja zato predlaga, da:
Accordingly, your draftsman proposes that:
1. se v člen 7 ponovno uvede rezervirano področje kot eden izmed načinov financiranja univerzalne storitve, ki so predlagani državam članicam , pod pogojem, da temelji na dejanskih stroških univerzalne storitve v državah članicah,
1. the reserved area system be reintroduced in Article 7 as one of the methods for financing universal service offered to Member States, subject to it being based on the actual costs incurred for providing the universal service in the Member States.
3. se na podlagi zaključkov te študije pripravi predlog popolne liberalizacije notranjega trga poštnih storitev, s katerim bo bodisi opredeljena možnost izbire med posameznimi načini financiranja univerzalne storitve bodisi bo predlagano sprejetje enega izmed njih.
3. a proposal for full liberalisation of the internal market in postal services be drawn up based on the conclusions of this study, proposing either a choice between the various methods of financing universal service or the adoption of one of these methods.
Odbor za ekonomske in monetarne zadeve poziva Odbor za promet in turizem kot pristojni odbor, da v svoje poročilo vključi naslednje predloge sprememb:
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs calls on the Committee on Transport and Tourism, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
(3a) Dodatne zamude pri popolnem odprtju trga bi škodovale tako podjetjem kot potrošnikom v EU.
(3a) A further delay in completing liberalisation would be harmful for EU business and consumers alike.
Razvoj pri nadomestitvah, tehnični razvoj in spreminjajoče se obnašanje potrošnikov so v nasprotju z ohranjanjem monopolov in navzkrižnih subvencij v poštnem sektorju.
Developments as regards substitution, technical evolution and changing customer behaviour contradict the maintenance of existing monopolies and cross-subsidies in the postal sector.
(4) Ukrepi na tem področju bi morali biti zasnovani tako, da se naloge Skupnosti v skladu s členom 2 Pogodbe ES, namreč spodbujanje skladnega, uravnoteženega in trajnega razvoja gospodarskih dejavnosti, visoke ravni zaposlovanja in socialne zaščite, trajne in neinflatorne rasti, visoke stopnje konkurenčnosti in konvergence gospodarskih učinkov, zviševanja ravni in kakovosti življenja, gospodarske in socialne kohezije ter solidarnosti med državami članicami, dosežejo kot cilji.
(4) The measures in this area should be designed in such a way that the tasks of the Community pursuant to Article 2 of the EC Treaty, namely, to promote throughout the Community a harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of economic activities, a high level of employment and of social protection, sustainable and non-inflationary growth, a high degree of competitiveness and convergence of economic performance, the raising of the standard of living and quality of life, and economic and social cohesion and solidarity among Member States are achieved as objectives.
Še zlasti bi bilo treba poskrbeti, da ukrepi na tem področju ne bi pripeljali do nestabilnih delovnih pogojev.
In particular, care should be taken that measures in this area do not lead to unstable working conditions.
Zagotoviti bi bilo treba enake konkurenčne pogoje za vse udeležence na trgu.
A level playing field should be ensured for all market participants.
Pri odpiranju trga konkurenci ne smemo pozabiti, da delovni pogoji zahtevajo posebno zaščito, zlasti kar zadeva stabilnost zaposlitve in dohodka.
In opening the market to competition it needs to be remembered that working conditions require special protection, particularly as regards stability of employment and income.
Za vse udeležence na trgu je treba zagotoviti enake pogoje, da se prepreči izkrivljanje konkurence.
Equal conditions need to be guaranteed for all market participants so as to avoid distortions of competition.
(4a) Evropski poštni trgi so zaradi razvoja, ki so ga sprožili tehnični napredek, deregulacija in posledično večja konkurenčnost, v zadnjih letih doživeli korenite spremembe.
(4a) European postal markets have undergone dramatic changes in recent years, a development that has been propelled by technological advancements and increased competition due to deregulation.
Zaradi globalizacije je potrebno ubrati proaktiven in v razvoj usmerjeni pristop, sicer bodo EU in njeni državljani prikrajšani za ugodnosti, ki jih prinašajo spremembe.
Due to globalisation, it is essential to take a pro-active, pro-development stance so as not to deprive ourselves and our citizens of the benefits of such changes.
(8) Glede na možnostno študijo je osnovni cilj zaščite trajnostnega zagotavljanja univerzalne storitve, ki ustreza standardu kakovosti, ki so ga države članice določile v skladu z Direktivo 97/67/ES, mogoče zagotoviti po vsej Skupnosti do leta 2009 brez potrebe po rezerviranem področju .
(8) According to the prospective study the basic aim of safeguarding the sustainable provision of a universal service matching the standard of quality defined by the Member States in accordance with Directive 97/67/EC , can be secured throughout the Community by 2009 without the need for a reserved area.
Glede na možnostno študijo in zlasti z ozirom na alternativne rešitve financiranja je osnovni cilj zaščite trajnostnega zagotavljanja univerzalne storitve, ki ustreza standardu kakovosti, ki so ga države članice določile v skladu z Direktivo 97/67/ES, mogoče zagotoviti po vsej Skupnosti do leta 2009 le z ohranitvijo rezerviranega področja za tiste države članice, kjer se bo izkazalo, da je tovrstni način financiranja nujen .
(8) According to the prospective study , and particularly with regard to alternative financing solutions, the basic aim of safeguarding the sustainable provision of a universal service matching the standard of quality defined by the Member States in accordance with Directive 97/67/EC cannot be secured throughout the Community by 2009 without a reserved area for those Member States where such a financing method proves to be necessary .
Rezerviranega področja ne moremo izključiti kot možnega načina financiranja univerzalne storitve, vse dokler Komisija ne bo pripravila natančnega pregleda načinov financiranja univerzalne storitve in dokler se bodo nekatere države članice srečevale s težavami.
Until the Commission has undertaken a thorough review of the financing methods for the universal service, and in view of the difficulties encountered by certain Member States, the reserved area cannot be excluded as a method of financing the universal service.
(10a) Če naj se univerzalna storitev ohranja in financira brez večjih državnih subvencij, mora biti trg liberaliziran, izvajalcem storitev pa mora biti omogočeno delovanje in tekmovanje na trgu pod konkurenčnimi pogoji.
(10a) If the universal service is to be maintained and funded without heavy state subsidies, the market must be liberalised and the service providers allowed to operate and compete on a level playing field.
Temu pa ne bo tako, dokler se bodo pogoji razlikovali, saj so nekatere stare države članice po sprejetju prvotne poštne direktive ukrepale, druge pa ne in torej niso sprejele potrebnih ukrepov za oblikovanje postopnega in nadzorovanega odprtja trga.
That will not be the case while the terms differ depending on whether some of the old Member States took action when Directive 97/67/EC was first adopted, whereas others failed to take the steps necessary to prepare for a gradual and controlled approach towards liberalisation
Ta cilj se doseže z nadaljnjim omogočanjem državam članicam, da ohranijo enotne tarife za pošto s tarifo za en kos, storitev, ki jo potrošniki ter majhna in srednje velika podjetja uporabljajo najpogosteje.
This objective is achieved by continuing to allow Member States to maintain uniform tariffs for single piece tariff mail, the service most frequently used by consumers and small and medium size enterprises.
Zato je pomembno zagotoviti, da države članice tarife, ki odstopajo od načela, da cene odražajo običajno tržno povpraševanje in stroške, uvedejo samo v omejenih primerih .
It is therefore important to ensure, on the one hand, that Member States impose only tariffs departing from the principle that prices reflect normal commercial demand and costs in limited cases .
Ne glede na načelo stroškovne naravnanosti cen lahko izvajalci univerzalne storitve še vedno uporabijo enotne tarife za storitve, ki jih nudijo v okviru univerzalne storitve.
The principle of cost-oriented pricing shall not prevent operators responsible for providing the universal service from applying uniform tariffs for services provided as part of that universal service.
(26) Zaradi prehoda na popolnoma konkurenčen trg in da bi zagotovili, da navzkrižne subvencije od univerzalnih storitev do ne-univerzalnih storitev ne bodo imele negativnih posledic na konkurenčne pogoje slednjih, je primerno še naprej zahtevati, da države članice ohranijo obveznost izvajalca(-ev) univerzalnih storitev glede vodenja ločenega in preglednega računovodstva, ob upoštevanju potrebnih prilagoditev.
(26) In view of the transition towards a fully competitive market and in order to ensure that cross-subsidies from universal services to non-universal services do not adversely affect the competitive conditions of the latter , it is appropriate to continue to require Member States to maintain the obligation on universal service providers of keeping separate and transparent accounts, subject to the necessary adaptations.
