Okoljski cilji Unije in ozadje
Environmental objectives of the Union and background
A. ker podatki o podnebnih spremembah kažejo na to, da bodo, če hočemo omejiti njihove učinke, potrebni strogi ukrepi; ker je Evropski svet določil cilje zmanjšanja emisij CO 2 za najmanj 20 % do leta 2020 in najmanj 60 % do leta 2050; ker je Evropski svet za cilja, ki ju moramo doseči do leta 2020, določil tudi 20-odstotni delež obnovljivih energij v porabi energije in 20-odstotno izboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti,
A. whereas the data on climate change indicate that rigorous action will need to be taken to limit its effects; whereas the European Council has set minimum CO 2 emission reduction targets of 20% by 2020 and 60% by 2050; whereas the European Council has also set targets of a 20% share of renewables in energy consumption and a 20% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020,
B. ker je v svoji prej omenjeni resoluciji z dne 15. novembra 2007 Evropski parlament poudaril, da se morajo industrijsko razvite države obvezati, da bodo do leta 2020 zmanjšale emisije CO 2 za najmanj 30 % in do leta 2050 za 60-80 % v primerjavi z letom 1990,
B. whereas the European Parliament in its abovementioned resolution of 15 November 2007 stresses that industrialised countries must commit themselves to reduce their emissions by at least 30% by 2020 and 60-80% by 2050 compared to 1990,
C. ker obstajajo različne vrste onesnaženj in nevarnost, da se bodo naravni viri izčrpali,
C. whereas there are various types of pollution and there is a risk of natural resources running out,
D. ker obstaja velika nevarnost, da bodo izumrle številne živalske ali rastlinske vrste, in ker je cilj Unije, da do leta 2010 zaustavi izgubo biotske raznovrstnosti,
D. whereas there is a high risk of numerous animal and plant species dying out, and whereas the Union has set a goal of stopping the loss of biodiversity by 2010,
E. ker v Uniji nenehno narašča promet, povezan s prevozom, zlasti blaga, s tem pa narašča poraba energije,
E. whereas there is a steady increase within the Union of traffic connected with transport, in particular the transport of goods, and a resulting increase in energy consumption,
F. ker so tržni instrumenti pomembno sredstvo za izvajanje načela „plača povzročitelj obremenitve“ ter na splošno za upoštevanje skritih stroškov proizvodnje in potrošnje, povezanih z zdravjem ljudi in okoljem, na stroškovno učinkovit način;
F. whereas market-based instruments (MBIs) constitute important tools for implementing the polluter pays principle and, more broadly, for taking into account the hidden costs of production and consumption in terms of people's health and the environment in a cost-effective way,
G. ker med državami članicami obstajajo velike razlike na področju okoljskega obdavčevanja (med 2 % in 5 % BDP držav članic) in tudi uporabe tržnih instrumentov in ker se je delež okoljskih dajatev v BDP držav članic v zadnjih petih letih zmanjšal,
G. whereas wide disparities exist between Member States as regards both environmental taxation (ranging from 2% to 5% of GDP) and the use of MBIs, and whereas the share of environmental taxes in Member States’ GDP has been falling for the past five years,
H. ker predstavljajo davki na energijo v povprečju 76 % okoljskih davkov, davki na prevoz pa 21 %,
H. whereas taxes on energy account on average for 76% of environmental taxation, and taxes on transport for 21%,
I. ker nosijo gospodinjstva največje breme okoljskih dajatev, čeprav so drugi gospodarski sektorji največji porabniki energije, vode in prevozov,
I. whereas households bear the bulk of the burden of environmental taxes even though other sectors of the economy are the main energy and water consumers and transport users,
J. ker lahko reforma dodeljevanja okolju škodljivih subvencij prispeva k prilagajanju podnebnim spremembam, spodbujanju trajnostnega razvoja in ohranitvi mednarodne konkurenčnosti EU,
J. whereas the reform of environmentally harmful subsidies (EHS) can contribute to addressing climate change, advance sustainable development and maintain the EU’s international competitiveness,
K. ker odziv na področju globalnih posledic podnebnih sprememb ne sme le prekiniti povezave med rastjo in načini proizvodnje in porabe, ampak mora pripeljati tudi do spremembe našega družbeno-gospodarskega razvojnega modela,
K. whereas the response to the forecast global impact of climate change must be not merely a decoupling of growth from production and consumption patterns but also a change in our socio-economic development model,
L. ker sedanji gospodarski kazalci za BDP ne zadoščajo več za pravilno oceno družbene, gospodarske in okoljske stvarnosti in ne upoštevajo okoljskih posledic človekovih dejavnosti, s katerimi se moramo soočiti; ker je treba za izračun proizvedene blaginje razmisliti o novih okoljskih kazalcih, ki bodo bolje upoštevali te spremembe;
L. whereas current GDP economic indicators no longer suffice as a means of evaluating social, economic and environmental reality accurately, and whereas they do not take account of the environmental consequences of human activities that must be addressed; whereas consideration should be given to new environmental indicators for calculating wealth created which are designed to take better account of these changes,
Kritike zeleni knjigi
Criticisms of the Green Paper
6. obžaluje, ker je premalo omenjena mednarodna razsežnost in ker še vedno niso vzpostavljeni ukrepi za zmanjšanje izkrivljanja konkurence med regijami in industrijskimi sektorji;
Criticises the fact that the international dimension is touched on too briefly and that measures aimed at maximum reduction of distortions of competition among regions and industrial sectors have still not been introduced;
8. poziva Komisijo, naj pri pripravi strategije izvajanja za tržne instrumente upošteva in pripravi obširno poročilo o učinkovitosti okoljskih ureditvenih instrumentov, ki jih trenutno uporablja EU, da ugotovi, kje bi bilo primerno nadomestiti obstoječo zakonodajo s tržnimi instrumenti;
Calls on the Commission, when drawing up its implementation strategy for MBIs, to consider and prepare a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of the environmental regulatory instruments currently applied by the EU with a view to ascertaining in which areas it would be appropriate to replace the existing legislation with MBIs;
10. poziva Evropsko unijo, naj loči bruto gospodarsko blaginjo na prebivalca od neto gospodarske, socialne in okoljske blaginje kot kazalca dejanskega napredka; zato poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj natančneje preučijo možnost za merjenje evropske rasti z uporabo "zelenih" kazalcev
Calls on the European Union to distinguish gross economic wealth per inhabitant from net economic, social and environmental wealth as the true progress indicator (TPI); calls on the Commission and the Member States in consequence to study in more depth the possibility of measuring European growth using ‘green’ indicators
11. priznava, da je popolna internalizacija okoljskih stroškov temeljni pogoj za vzpostavitev lojalne konkurence med posameznimi podjetji ter za povečanje gospodarskih spodbud za pospeševanje čistejše proizvodnje in porabe ter za spodbujanje inovacij na področju čistejših tehnologij;
Recognises that the full internalisation of environmental costs is an important prerequisite for creating fair competition between different businesses and for increasing the economic incentives for cleaner production and consumption and stimulating innovation of cleaner technologies;
18. priznava, da so tržni instrumenti za namene okoljske politike eden od načinov za doseganje okoljskih ciljev z razumnimi stroški; poudarja, da postavljanje ciljev in meril, ki jih je treba doseči in spoštovati, ne more nadomestiti okoljske zakonodaje, ter da je njihova učinkovitost odvisna od njihove sestave in možnosti, da se dopolnjujejo z drugimi instrumenti;
Recognises that market-based instruments for environment purposes are one of the ways of achieving environmental objectives at a reasonable cost; stresses that they cannot be a substitute for environmental legislation which lays down targets to be achieved and standards to be complied with and that their effectiveness depends on how they are coordinated with and complement other instruments;
23. poudarja, da mora izvajanje tržnih instrumentov za obravnavo onesnaženja in negativnih učinkov na okolje temeljiti na okoljski učinkovitosti; meni, da bi bilo treba družbene posledice izvajanja tržnih instrumentov ublažiti s posebnimi ukrepi, kot so minimalne cene, znižanje stopenj, subvencije in podobno v korist gospodinjstev z nizkimi prihodki; meni, da je potrebno sprejeti tudi ukrepe za kaznovanje prekomerne porabe;
Stresses that the implementation of MBIs to address pollution and negative environmental impacts needs to be based on environmental effectiveness; takes the view that social consequences resulting from the implementation of MBIs should be compensated for by specific policy measures such as floor prices, rate reductions, subsidies etc. for low-income households; considers it also necessary to adopt measures aimed at penalising excessive consumption;
25. opozarja, da direktiva Sveta 2003/96/ES z dne 27. oktobra 2003 o prestrukturiranju okvira Skupnosti za obdavčitev energentov in električne energije
Recalls that Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity
27. meni, da se tržni instrumenti Skupnosti ne morejo omejevati na sistem za trgovanje s pravicami do emisij ali z emisijskimi kvotami ter da je treba predvideti druge možnosti, na primer uvedbo davka na premog v zameno za zmanjšanje subvencij za fosilno energijo;
Considers that Community market-based measures cannot be limited to emission permit or emission quota trading schemes and that other possible schemes need to be envisaged, such as the introduction of a carbon tax, as well as a reduction in subsidies for fossil fuels;
29. poudarja, da dajejo pogodbe kljub zahtevam po enotnosti na davčnem področju možnost okrepljenega sodelovanja ter da obstaja odprt način usklajevanja; zato poziva države članice, naj na evropski ravni dosežejo napredek pri okoljskem obdavčevanju ter s tem preprečijo davčni damping;
Points out that, despite the unanimity requirement in the area of taxation, the treaties offer the possibility of enhanced cooperation, and draws attention to the existence of the open coordination method; calls on the Member States, therefore, to make progress on the issue of environmental taxation at European level in order to prevent all forms of fiscal dumping;
Kateri instrumenti za kateri sektor?
Which instruments for which sector?
43. zahteva, da Komisija pred letom 2009 predstavi zakonodajni predlog za zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov v pomorskem prometu, saj tega ne ureja še nobena mednarodna zakonodaja ali zakonodaja Skupnosti;
Calls urgently on the Commission to present by 2009 a legislative proposal for GHG reduction in the area of maritime transport, which is not currently subject to any Community or international legislation in this area;
32). (evrovinjeta) potekati hitro in istočasno, da bi preprečili prekrivanje ukrepov, ki imajo isti cilj, ter da bi spremenili okoljsko zakonodajo tako, da bi različne ekonomske sektorje hitreje preusmerila na okolju naklonjeno vedenje, med drugim z internalizacijo zunanjih stroškov;
(Eurovignette Directive) in order to avoid an overlap in measures designed to achieve the same objective and to change environmental taxation to bring about a rapid reorientation towards environment conscious behaviour in the various sectors of the economy, inter alia through internalisation of external costs;
49. meni, da bi pri reviziji zakonodaje o obdavčevanju energetskih proizvodov treba zvišati najnižjo stopnjo davkov na področju prevozov za industrijske ali trgovinske namene; podpira delitev davka na energetski in okoljski del glede na stopnjo emisij CO 2 ;
Considers that as part of the revision of the legislation on the taxation of energy products the minimum rate of taxes on transport for industrial or commercial purposes should be raised; supports the differentiation of taxation into an energy component and an environmental component based on the level of CO 2 emissions;
51. poziva, naj se tržni instrumenti za doseganje ciljev okoljske politike na splošno in posebej za internalizacijo zunanjih stroškov v državah članicah in na ravni EU uporabljajo pogosteje; pri čemer je treba paziti, da suverenost držav članic pri davčnih zadevah ne bi povzročila izkrivljanja konkurence; predlaga na primer uporabo bolj tržno usmerjenih instrumentov za spodbujanje energetske učinkovitosti in toplotne izolacije stavb;
Calls for greater use to be made of MBIs with a view to achieving, in the individual Member States and the EU, environmental policy objectives in general and the internalisation of external costs in particular; in that connection, however, care should be taken to ensure that the Member States’ sovereignty in fiscal matters does not give rise to distortions of competition; proposes, for example, the use of more closely market-based instruments to promote energy efficiency and thermal insulation of buildings;
Posebni sektorji in instrumenti
Specific instruments and sectors
56. se strinja s Komisijo, da je za odpravo okolju škodljivih subvencij nujen dopolnilni ukrep za doseganje trajnostnega razvoja in zlasti ciljev, ki so jih določili voditelji držav in vlad EU v zvezi z integrirano agendo za energijo in podnebne spremembe;
Agrees with the Commission that the removal of EHS constitutes an essential complementary measure for achieving sustainable development and, especially, the objectives endorsed by the EU Heads of State and Government as regards the integrated climate change and energy agenda;
Direktiva 2000/60/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 23. oktobra 2000 o določitvi okvira za ukrepe Skupnosti na področju vodne politike (UL L 327, 22.12.2000, str.
Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (OJ L 327, 22.12.2000, p.
60. poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj oblikujejo sistem obdavčevanja ali dajatev, ki naj prispeva z zmanjšanju količin uporabljenih pesticidov in k uporabi pesticidov, ki so manj strupeni in škodljivi za okolje in zdravje;
Calls on the Commission and the Member States to put in place a system of taxes or charges designed to reduce the quantity of pesticides used and encourage the use of pesticides that are less toxic and less damaging to the environment and health;
64. zahteva, da Komisija v svojih pobudah ohrani sedanje mehanizme, ki so jih države članice sprejele kot podporo razvoju obnovljivih virov energije; poudarja, da je pred odobritvijo finančni spodbud za biogoriva treba zahtevati dodatne presoje, da se preveri, ali so z okoljskega vidika proizvedena na trajnostni način;
Calls on the Commission to include among its initiatives the retention of the current mechanisms employed by the Member States to support the development of renewables; stresses that further assessments are necessary before providing financial incentives for biofuels in order to determine whether they are produced in an environmentally sustainable way;
Evropska unija je zelo dejavna na okoljskem področju ter spodbuja mnoga razmišljanja in dejavnosti na svojem ozemlju ter na mednarodni ravni (kjotski protokol).
The European Union is particularly active on environmental issues and has taken the initiative on numerous ideas and actions both within the EU and in the international arena, e.g. the Kyoto Protocol.
Njena zgodovina ter industrijski in gospodarski razvoj ji dajeta to odgovornost ter nas pozivata k zglednosti in k pionirski vlogi na področju okoljske politike.
This is a responsibility the EU has on account of Europe’s history and its industrial and economic development, and it means that we need to provide leadership and play a pioneering role in environmental policy.
Veseli smo zaradi ustanovitve začasnega odbora Evropskega parlamenta za podnebne spremembe.
The setting-up of the European Parliament’s temporary committee on climate change is to be welcomed.
Danes so se zahteve na okoljskem področju močno povečale, ker boj proti podnebnim spremembam zahteva mnogo odločnejše ukrepe kot v preteklosti.
With today’s increased environmental demands, tackling climate change requires much stronger action than that which has been envisaged thus far.
Razumeti moramo, da naša družba deluje tako, da ustvarja bogastvo, ki je dokaz družbenega in gospodarskega napredka.
To do that we need to understand that our societies function on wealth creation as a framework for economic and social progress.
To bogastvo je bilo vedno odvisno od vse večjih količin surovin in energije.
This wealth creation has always depended on increasing flows of materials and energy.
Odvisnost pa je sedaj postala nevzdržna: upadanje mnogih naravnih virov na kratki, srednji in dolgi rok bo povzročilo porast stroškov za njihov nakup ali izkoriščanje ter povečalo povpraševanje na mednarodni ravni.
It is now clear that this equation is no longer tenable: the increasing scarcity of many natural resources over the short, medium and long term will lead to a steady increase in the cost of obtaining and using them and increased worldwide demand for them.
Boriti se je treba tudi za ponovno vzpostavitev biotske raznovrstnosti, ne zaradi ohranitve živega muzeja, ampak zaradi varstva ali obnove "storitev", ki so nujne za življenje in ki nam jih zagotavlja ekosistem.
Action also needs to be taken to restore biodiversity, the aim of which being not to preserve a living museum but to maintain or restore the vital ‘services’ which ecosystems perform for us.
Od tega sta odvisni raven in kakovost kmetijskih pridelkov, zraka, vode, tal itd.
At stake are the level and quality of agricultural harvests, the quality of the air, water and soil, etc.
Sedaj se le malo upošteva okoljske stroške, ki jih povzročajo človekove dejavnosti, zlasti industrija in gospodarstvo, torej tehnično gledano zunanje stroške.
At the moment scarcely any account is taken of the environmental costs of human activities, particularly industrial and economic activities, known technically as ‘external costs’.
Evropska unija, ki je odločena, da bo bolje nadzorovala posledice človekovih dejavnosti za okolje, je dodobra spoznala, da mora spremeniti svoj način delovanja, če želi doseči zastavljene cilje.
The European Union is determined to control more effectively the impact of human activities on the environment and fully understands the need to diversify its approach in order to achieve the objectives it has set.
Zato je Evropska unija vzporedno z množico zakonodajnih besedil, ki jih je sprejela, ter cilji in merili, ki si jih je postavila, oblikovala tudi druge poti za sodelovanje pri izboljšanju okolja.
Accordingly, alongside its laws and the targets and standards it has set itself, the European Union has also developed other tools to help improve the environment, including subsidies, the part of the 7th FPRD earmarked for research and eco-technologies to support sustainable development, information campaigns and preventive action.
