Več kakor ducat ameriških in evropskih skupin za človekove pravice in nadzor nad orožjem odločno poziva kongres ZDA, naj ustavi načrtovano 53 milijonov USD vredno prodajo orožja Bahrajnu; pri tem gre zlasti za oklepna vozila Humvee, ki bi jih lahko varnostne sile kraljevine uporabljale proti protestnikom.
More than a dozen US and European human rights and arms control groups are urging the US Congress to block a proposed USD 53 million arms sale to Bahrain, mostly armoured Humvees, which could conceivably be used by the kingdom’s security forces against protestors.
To je prva prodaja, ki jo načrtuje vlada ZDA, odkar je bahrajnska vlada februarja zatrla na stotisoče protestnikov, ki so mirno zahtevali večjo politično svobodo.
This sale is the first proposed by the US Government since the Government of Bahrain cracked down last February on hundreds of thousands of people peacefully demanding greater political freedom .
Od takrat naprej bahrajnske varnostne sile nenehno brutalno zatirajo proteste in izvajajo neizprosne povračilne ukrepe.
Since that time, Bahraini security forces have continued to brutally suppress protests and undertaken a relentless programme of retribution.
Sredi marca je vlada razglasila ukrepe za zaščito nacionalne varnosti, s katerimi je bahrajnsko vojsko (BDF), ki je prejemnica predlagane pošiljke orožja, pooblastila za zadušitev protestov, ki so v veliki meri potekali mirno.
In mid‑March the Government declared a ‘state of national safety’ which put the Bahraini Defence Force (BDF), the recipient of the proposed arm delivery, in charge of suppressing the largely peaceful protest.
Pri siloviti zadušitvi upora, ki je temu sledila, so varnostne sile ubile več kakor 40 ljudi in več kakor 1600 jih je bilo aretiranih.
In the fierce crackdown that has followed, more than 40 people have been killed by security forces and more than 1 600 people have been arrested.
Oblasti so nato začele izvajati obsežno akcijo povračilnih ukrepov proti vsakomur, ki je podpiral proteste ali v njih sodeloval, vključno z borci za človekove pravice, novinarji in zdravstvenimi delavci.
Authorities then initiated a large-scale campaign of retribution against anyone supporting or participating in protests, including human rights activists, journalists and medical professionals.
Obrambno ministrstvo ZDA v izjavi za tisk kljub opisanim razmeram to prodajo upravičuje z domnevo, da naj bi bila bahrajnska vlada pomemben dejavnik politične stabilnosti in gospodarskega napredka na Bližnjem vzhodu.
In the face of this reality, the US Department of Defence press release on this sale justifies it by referring to the Government of Bahrain as ‘an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East’.
Ali je podpredsednica Komisije/visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve seznanjena s temi dejstvi, ki so v navzkrižju z ameriškimi in evropskimi zakoni o prepovedi prenosa kakršne koli vojaške opreme vojaškim ali varnostnim enotam, ki naj bi po verodostojnih poročilih kršile človekove pravice?
Is the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs aware of these facts, which run contrary to the US and European laws forbidding the transfer of any military equipment to military or security units which are credibly reported to have committed human rights abuses?
Ali ima podpredsednica Komisije/visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve kakršne koli informacije o tem, da bi Evropa opravila ali načrtovala prodajo orožja Bahrajnu?
Does the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs have any information about recent or projected European arms sales to Bahrain?
Ali je podpredsednica Komisije/visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve zaskrbljena zaradi dejstva, da narodi na Bližnjem vzhodu izjav Zahoda o demokraciji in človekovih pravicah v regiji ne bodo jemali resno, če je videti, da Zahod, namesto da bi od svojega zaveznika Bahrajna zahteval pojasnila, nagrajuje zatiranje s še več orožja?
Is the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs worried about the fact that people across the Middle East will not take Western statements about democracy and human rights in the region seriously when, rather than hold its ally Bahrain to account, it appears to reward repression with additional weapons?
Odgovor podpredsednice/visoke predstavniceCatherine Ashton v imenu Komisije
Answer given by High Representative/Vice-President Ashton on behalf of the Commission
(13. marec 2012)
(13 March 2012)
Podpredsednica/visoka predstavnica je dobro seznanjena s položajem v Bahrajnu in ga pozorno spremlja.
The High Representative/Vice-President is well aware of the situation in Bahrain and has been following it closely.
Njena mnenja so bila predstavljena tako v pisni obliki kot v neposrednih stikih z vodstvom Bahrajna, vključno z ministrom za zunanje zadeve in kraljem.
Her views have been made well known both in writing and in direct contacts with the Bahraini regime, including the Foreign Minister and the King.
Delegacija Evropske unije v Savdski Arabiji (pooblaščena tudi za Bahrajn) in države članice EU, zastopane v Manami, imajo prav tako redne stike z lokalnimi organi.
The European Union Delegation in Saudi Arabia (also accredited to Bahrain) and EU Member States represented in Manama are also in regular contact with the authorities.
EU je ob vseh teh priložnostih izrazila svojo zaskrbljenost glede položaja v Bahrajnu, lokalne organe je pozvala, naj čim prej obravnavajo navedene probleme, prosila pa je tudi za navzočnost na sojenjih, ki potekajo.
On all these occasions, the EU has expressed its concerns about the situation in Bahrain, has urged the local authorities to address these problems as rapidly as possible and has asked to be present at the ongoing trials.
Poleg tega je visoka predstavnica/podpredsednica, ki je ob številnih priložnostih pozvala k dialogu med vodstvom in opozicijo kot edinemu trajnostnemu načinu spodbujanja nacionalne sprave, večkrat poudarila pripravljenost EU, da poveča podporo, če bo za to zaprošena.
Furthermore, the HR/VP, who has on numerous occasions called for dialogue between the regime and the opposition as the only sustainable way to promote national reconciliation, has reiterated the EU’s readiness to extend support as and when requested.
Na področju izvoza orožja, ki ga opravijo države članice EU, ostajajo odločitve o njegovi odobritvi ali zavrnitvi v pristojnosti posamezne države članice.
As far as arms exports by EU Member States are concerned, decisions on whether to authorise or deny arms exports remain the responsibility of Member States.
Toda v zadnjih letih je EU razvila usklajen pristop, v okviru katerega je bilo sprejeto skupno stališče 2008/944/SZVP, ki je vzpostavilo niz meril za urejanje izvoza konvencionalnega orožja.
However, in recent years the EU has developed a coordinated approach that culminated in the adoption of Common Position 2008/944/CFSP, establishing a set of criteria to regulate exports in conventional arms.
Skupno stališče določa, da se dovoljenje za izvoz orožja zavrne, če ni v skladu z merili iz skupnega stališča in zlasti z merili glede spoštovanja človekovih pravic ter če obstajata verjetnost, da bi se lahko oprema uporabila za notranjo represijo in urejanje notranjih zadev v namembni državi, ter tveganje regionalne destabilizacije.
The common position provides that an arms export licence shall be denied if inconsistent with criteria of the common position and, in particular, respect for human rights and likelihood that the equipment might be used for internal repression, internal situation of the country of destination and risk of regional destabilisation.
Nedavne izkušnje so pokazale, da je skupno stališče ustrezen instrument, ki državam članicam omogoča, da po potrebi zavrnejo prenos orožja, tudi kadar za namembno državo ne velja embargo na orožje.
As recent experience has proved, the common position represents an appropriate instrument to allow Member States to deny, when appropriate, an arms transfer even when the destination country is not under an arms embargo.
Po vstajah prebivalstva na območjih Bližnjega vzhoda in Severne Afrike ter Zaliva je delovna skupina Sveta za izvoz konvencionalnega orožja (COARM) namenila večino svojih nedavnih sestankov oceni preteklih in trenutnih politik nadzora nad izvozom na to območje, da bi se nacionalnim organom za izdajo dovoljenj zagotovile najustreznejše informacije glede občutljivih izvoznih namembnih krajev.
Following the popular uprisings in the MENA and Gulf regions, the Council Working Group on Conventional Arms Exports (COARM) has devoted most of its most recent meetings to an assessment of Member States' previous and current export control policies towards this region, with a view to providing national licensing authorities with the most relevant information regarding sensitive export destinations.
Zato se je večina držav članic pred kratkim odločila, da bo zamrznila ali začasno razveljavila predhodno odobrena dovoljenja za izvoz orožja v namembne kraje, v katerih so trenutno nemiri.
As a result, most Member States have recently decided to freeze or suspend previously granted arms export licences to destinations currently affected by the unrest.
Nekatere izmed držav članic EU so v sodelovanju s svojimi nacionalnimi parlamenti prav tako uradno opravile pregled svojih politik v zvezi z izvozom orožja.
Some of the EU Member States have also formally undertaken a review of their arms export policies, in cooperation with their national parliaments.
Verjetno je, da bodo navedene spremembe odigrale vlogo pri naslednjem pregledu skupnega stališča iz leta 2008, katerega izvajanje morajo države članice EU oceniti in pregledati tri leta po začetku njegove veljavnosti, tj. z decembrom 2011.
These developments are also likely to play a role in the upcoming review of the 2008 common position, the implementation of which should be assessed and reviewed by EU Member States three years after its entry into force, i.e. starting December 2011.

Zadeva: Poštena konkurenca na področju turizma
Subject: Fair competition in the tourism sector
Vzpostavitev enotnega trga je eden izmed največjih dosežkov Evropske unije, področji trajnostne rasti in mobilnosti pa ključni področji razvoja evropskih politik v prihodnosti.
The establishment of the single market is one of the European Union’s greatest achievements, but sustainable growth and mobility are key areas for the development of European policies in the future.
Lizbonska pogodba je vzpostavila novo pravno podlago za turizem, zlasti za spodbujanje konkurenčnosti podjetij Unije na tem področju.
The Lisbon Treaty has created a new legal basis for tourism, with the aim, in particular, of promoting competitiveness among EU companies operating in that field.
Cilj pri tem je, da tako potrošniki turističnih storitev kot tudi podjetja, ki nudijo tovrstne storitve, lahko koristijo prednosti dobro delujočega notranjega trga.
The goal is to ensure that both consumers and providers of tourism services can take advantage of the benefits of a properly functioning internal market.
To med drugim pomeni, da podjetja niso izpostavljena različnim oviram, ki preprečujejo pošteno konkurenco.
This implies not least that companies should not be hampered by barriers in whatever form preventing fair competition.
S strani Gospodarske zbornice Slovenije so že takoj po vstopu v EU prejele mnenje, da je znotraj EU prost pretok delovne sile prost in da njihovi vodiči pri vodenju slovenskih skupin v druge članice ne bodo imeli nobenih težav.
Immediately after Slovenia joined the EU, the Chamber of Commerce of Slovenia adopted an opinion to the effect that labour flows freely within the EU and that Slovene guides would not have any difficulties when taking Slovene groups to other Member States.
V praksi pa se dogaja drugače.
But in practice that is not what happens.
Slovenske vodiče preganjajo in jim grozijo s kaznijo, češ da nimajo ustreznih licenc za vodenje v državah, kot so Avstrija, Poljska, Madžarska, Italija, Španija, Portugalska.
Slovene guides are harassed and threatened with punishment for not having the appropriate licences to act as guides in Austria, Poland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and elsewhere.
Zato morajo slovenske turistične agencije najeti po dva vodiča, lokalnega in slovensko govorečega za prevajanje.
As a result, Slovene tourist agencies have two hire two guides, a local guide and a Slovene-speaking guide to translate.
Tovrstna praksa pomeni dvojen strošek za turistično agencijo.
This doubles the costs to the tourist agency.
Po drugi strani pa tuje turistične agencije na slovenskem ozemlju lahko neovirano delujejo le z enim vodičem.
By contrast, foreign tourist agencies in Slovenia are able to operate unimpeded with just one guide.
Pravila na tem področju so nejasna in tako ovirajo delovanje prostega trga.
The rules in this area are unclear and hinder the functioning of the free market.
Vprašanje Komisiji: 1.
Could the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Zanima me, ali so različne zahteve glede prisotnosti lokalnih vodičev skladne z evropsko zakonodajo? 2.
Are the different requirements regarding the presence of local guides in conformity with EU legislation? 2.
Kje lahko turistične agencije dobijo natančne podatke o zahtevah, ki jih morajo izpolniti pri organizaciji izletov v različne države članice?
Where can tourist agencies obtain exact information on the requirements they need to meet when organising excursions to other Member States?
Odgovor Michela Barnierja v imenu Komisije
Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission
V skladu z določbami direktive lahko turistična agencija zagotavlja poklicne storitve v državi članici, ki ni država članica, v kateri je bil ta subjekt pravno ustanovljen, pri čemer jih mora predhodno prijaviti, če to zahteva država članica gostiteljica (člen 7 direktive).
Pursuant to the provisions of the directive, a tourist guide can provide professional services in a Member State other than that in which that person is legally established, possibly on the basis of a prior declaration if such is required by the host Member State (Article 7 of the directive).
Nacionalne določbe in prakse, ki bi določale prisotnost lokalnih turističnih agencij ali drugo obliko njihovega vključevanja, ne bi bile v skladu z zakonodajo EU.
Any national provision or practice requiring the presence, or other form of involvement, of local tourist guides would be inconsistent with EC law.
Če turistični delavci želijo nadaljnje informacije o pogojih za izvajanje njihovega poklica v drugi državi članici, si lahko pomagajo s priročnikom Komisije Glej http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/docs/guide/users_guide_en.pdf. ali se o poklicnih kvalifikacijah posvetujejo z nacionalnimi kontaktnimi točkami Glej http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/contactpoints/index.htm. .
Should tourist guiding professionals wish to obtain further details on the conditions of exercising their profession in another Member State, they could refer to the Commission's User Guide Available at: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/docs/guide/users_guide_en.pdf or consult the national contact points Available at: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/contactpoints/index.htm on professional qualifications.
Zadevno poslanko pozivamo, da Komisiji predloži vse informacije, ki se ji zdijo v zvezi s tem pomembne.
The Honourable Member is invited to provide to the Commission any information that he could deem relevant in that respect.

Zadeva: Vključevanje vprašanj, povezanih s staranjem, v razvojne in humanitarne programe
Subject: Mainstreaming ageing issues in development and humanitarian programmes
Leto 2012 bo evropsko leto aktivnega staranja in medgeneracijske solidarnosti in bo obeležilo 10. obletnico Madridskega mednarodnega akcijskega načrta o staranju, ki so ga leta 2002 sprejeli Združeni narodi.
2012 will be the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, which marks the 10th anniversary of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing adopted by the United Nations in 2002.
Cilj evropskega leta 2012 je izboljšati priložnosti za aktivno staranje in samostojno življenje, in sicer na zelo različnih področjih: od zaposlovanja, zdravstvenega in socialnega varstva do izobraževanja odraslih in nastanitve.
The EY2012 aims to improve opportunities for active ageing and independent living, acting in areas as diverse as employment, healthcare, social services, adult learning and housing.
Namen projekta je tudi spodbuditi vse oblikovalce politik in deležnike, naj si zastavijo cilje in naj odločno ukrepajo, da bi te cilje dosegli.
It also aims to encourage all policymakers and stakeholders to set themselves goals and take concrete action with a view to meeting these.
Kako bo Komisija pri razvijanju dejavnosti v okviru evropskega leta 2012 zagotovila, da so vprašanja, povezana s staranjem, vključena v vsa področja politik EU (notranje in zunanje), še zlasti pa v razvojne in humanitarne programe?
When developing the activities of the EY2012, how will the Commission ensure that ageing issues are mainstreamed in all the EU policy areas (internal and external), and especially in development and humanitarian programmes?
Odgovor gospoda Andorja v imenu Komisije
Answer given by Mr Andor on behalf of the Commission
Evropsko leto aktivnega staranja in solidarnosti med generacijami je namenjeno državam članicam EU in članicam EGS.
The European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations is targeted at the EU and EEA Member States.
Kljub temu pa je staranje prebivalstva globalni problem, kar zunanja politika EU tudi upošteva.
Nevertheless, ageing is a global issue and the EU's external policy takes it into account.
Unija si prizadeva zadovoljiti posebne potrebe različnih ranljivih skupin, kamor spadajo tudi starejši ljudje, tako da podpira usposabljanje ključnih humanitarnih akterjev in s tem prispeva h vključitvi posebnih potreb starejših ljudi v ocene humanitarnih potreb.
The EU also aims to address the specific needs of different vulnerable groups, including older people, in its assistance e.g. by supporting the training key humanitarian actors in order to mainstream the specific needs of older people during humanitarian needs assessments.
Komisija namerava predložiti sporočilo o socialni zaščiti v razvojnem sodelovanju EU v letu 2012, ki bo obravnavalo tudi nekatera izmed omenjenih vprašanj, saj spadajo na področje podpore EU vključujoči rasti.
The Commission intends to present a communication on social protection in EU development cooperation in 2012, which will also cover some of these issues as part of EU support for inclusive growth.

Zadeva: VP/HR - Sistematično mučenje v afganistanskih zaporih, ki se financirajo z mednarodnimi sredstvi
Subject: VP/HR — Systematic torture in Afghanistan's internationally funded detention centres
Po navedbah iz poročila Združenih narodov, ki je bilo objavljeno 10. oktobra 2011, se v Afganistanu sistematično izvaja mučenje zapornikov.
According to a United Nations report released on 10 October 2011, the use of torture on prisoners is ‘systematic’ in Afghanistan.
To poročilo ZN predstavlja najcelovitejši pregled afganistanskega sistema pridržanja do danes.
The UN report is the most comprehensive look at the Afghan detention system to date.
Opisuje pretresljivo stanje zlorab med zaslišanji s strani afganistanskih obveščevalnih služb in policije, kljub temu da ZDA in EU zagotavljata pomoč pri usposabljanju in financirata skoraj celotni proračun afganistanskih ministrstev, ki vodijo zapore.
It paints a devastating picture of abuses perpetrated during interrogations by Afghan intelligence and police officials, even though US and EU donors provide training and pay for nearly the entire budget of the Afghan ministries running the detention centres.
V poročilu ni ocene, ali so mednarodni uradniki vedeli za te zlorabe; a ker je težko verjeti, da so bila tuja sredstva za afganistanske zapore izplačana brez vsakega nadzora in pregleda, se ob taki razširjenost mučenja porajajo resna vprašanja o morebitnem sostorilstvu ali brezbrižnosti mednarodnih uradnikov.
The report does not assess whether international officials knew of the abuses; but since it is difficult to believe that the foreign funds intended for the Afghanistan detention centres have been disbursed with total lack of control and oversight, such widespread use of torture raises serious questions about potential complicity or carelessness by international officials.
Ali je podpredsednica/visoka predstavnica seznanjena s temi gnusnimi kršitvami človekovih pravic, ki jih razkriva poročilo ZN?
Is the Vice-President/High Representative aware of the abhorrent violation of human rights denounced by the UN report?
Kako namerava podpredsednica/visoka predstavnica ukrepati, da bi odpravila očitno pomanjkanje nadzora nad zadevnimi sredstvi ali, v najhujšem primeru, morebitno zunanje sostorilstvo pri mučenju in zlorabi afganistanskih zapornikov?
How does the Vice-President/High Representative intend to proceed in order to rectify what is a clear lack of supervision of the funds concerned or, at worst, possible external complicity in acts of torture and mistreatment of Afghan detainees?
Evropska unija se je podrobno seznanila s poročilom ZN o slabem ravnanju s priporniki v nekaterih objektih za pridržanje oseb v okviru Nacionalnega varnostnega direktorata in afganistanske nacionalne policije ter 10. oktobra 2011 objavila svojo izjavo http://eeas.europa.eu/delegations/afghanistan/press_corner/all_news/news/2011/20111010_01_en.htm. .
The European Union has taken careful note of the UN report regarding the mistreatment of detainees in certain detention facilities of the National Directorate of Security and Afghan National Police and issued a statement on 10 October 2011 http://eeas.europa.eu/delegations/afghanistan/press_corner/all_news/news/2011/20111010_01_en.htm .
Misija Združenih narodov za pomoč v Afganistanu je pojasnila, da v poročilu ni bilo ugotovljeno, da je zadevno slabo ravnanje del sistematične politike organov.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has made it clear that the report does not conclude that the ill-treatment encountered is part of a systematic policy by the authorities.
Navedla je tudi, da afganistanska vlada resno jemlje obtožbe in želi vzpostaviti mehanizem za preprečevanje prihodnjih zlorab.
They have also stated that the Government is taking the allegations seriously and is seeking to establish mechanisms to avoid future abuses.
Upravljanje in načelo pravne države sta osrednji področji podpore EU Afganistanu in sta zato ključna elementa v dialogu z Vlado.
Governance and Rule of Law are focal areas of EU support for Afghanistan and are, therefore, key elements in the dialogue with the Government.
EU zlasti podpira Ministrstvo za pravosodje pri nadzoru Osrednje službe za zapore.
In particular, the EU has supported the Ministry of Justice in overseeing the Central Prisons Department (CPD).
