Zadeva: Neonikotinoidni insekticidi in zdravje medonosnih čebel
Subject: Neonicotinoid insecticides and honey bee health
Nedavno je bila sprejeta Direktiva 2010/21/EU o spremembi Priloge I k Direktivi Sveta 91/414/EGS glede posebnih določb za klotianidin, tiametoksam, fipronil in imidakloprid, ki naj bi urejala problematiko izginjanja medonosnih čebel zaradi izpostavljenosti neonikotinoidnim pesticidom.
Directive 2010/21/EU amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the specific provisions relating to clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fipronil and imidacloprid was adopted recently in order to address the problem of depletion of honey bees arising from exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides.
Ali lahko Komisija poda izjavo o tem, ali so države članice izvedle ukrepe, potrebne za uskladitev z Direktivo 2010/21/EU?
Can the Commission state whether the Member States have taken the necessary measures to comply with Directive 2010/21/EU?
Katere druge konkretne ukrepe za zaščito medonosnih čebel pred neonikotinoidi namerava Komisija še sprejeti?
What other concrete measures is the Commission planning to adopt in order to protect honey bees from neonicotinoids?
Ali lahko Komisija v zvezi z objavo „Informacij o pesticidih in pogojni registraciji klotianidina“ Agencije za zaščito okolja ZDA z dne 30. maja 2003 poda izjavo o tem, ali: —
Following the publication on 30 May 2003 by the US Environmental Protection Agency of the ‘Pesticide Fact Sheet on Conditional Registration of Clothianidin’, can the Commission state: —
se zaveda resnih podatkovnih vrzeli, navedenih v zgoraj omenjenem informativnem dokumentu („študija razvojne imunotoksičnosti; dodatne analize preskusnih snovi, uporabljenih v študijah mutagenosti; terenske raziskave ostankov v poljščinah pri kolobarjenju na primeru zrele soje; aerobni vodni metabolizem; študija spiranja semen; akutna toksičnost celotnega sedimenta za sladkovodne vretenčarje in terenski testi za opraševalce“); —
if it is aware of the severe data gaps listed in the abovementioned fact sheet (‘developmental immunotoxicity study, additional analysis of test materials used in mutagenic studies, rotational crop residue fields trials with mature soybeans, aerobic aquatic metabolism, seed leaching study, whole sediment acute toxicity to freshwater invertebrates and field test for pollinators’); —
se zaveda naslednjih navedb iz istega informativnega dokumenta: „Klotianidin je zelo strupen za medonosne čebele ob akutnem stiku (LD50 > 0,0439 μg/čebelo).
if it is aware of the following, as stated in the same fact sheet: ‘Clothianidin is highly toxic to honey bees on an acute contact basis (LD50 > 0.0439 μg/bee).
Možno je, da ima kronične toksične vplive na medonosne čebele, kot tudi na druge netarčne opraševalce zaradi prenosa ostankov klotianidina v nektar in cvetni prah.
It has the potential for toxic chronic exposure to honey bees, as well as other nontarget pollinators, through the translocation of clothianidin residues in nectar and pollen.
Pri medonosnih čebelah ima kronična toksična izpostavljenost lahko letalne in/ali subletalne učinke na ličinke in vpliva na reprodukcijske sposobnosti matice“?
In honey bees, the effects of this toxic chronic exposure may include lethal and/or sub-lethal effects in the larvae and reproductive effects in the queen’?

Komisija trenutno od držav članic pridobiva informacije o izvajanju ukrepov, potrebnih za uskladitev z Direktivo 2010/21/EU UL L 65, 13.3.2010. .
The Commission is currently gathering information from Member States on the implementation measures to comply with Directive 2010/21/EU OJ L 65, 13.3.2010. .
Ta točka je redno na dnevnem redu Stalnega odbora za prehranjevalno verigo in zdravje živali – oddelek za zakonodajo o pesticidih.
This point is constantly on the agenda of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health — section Pesticide Legislation.
Do danes ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti povezave med pravilno uporabo neonikotinoidnih insekticidov in umrljivostjo čebel, zato podatki niso na voljo.
Until today, no link between neonicotinoid insecticides, if correctly used, and the problem of bee mortality could be established, and therefore figures are not available.
Vendar Komisija verjame, da ukrepi, določeni v zakonodaji o pesticidih, prispevajo k zagotavljanju visoke stopnje zaščite čebel, vključno medonosnih čebel.
Nevertheless, the Commission is confident that measures laid down in the pesticide legislation contribute to ensure a high level of protection for bees, including honeybees.
Glede konkretnih ukrepov, ki jih Komisija namerava sprejeti, želi Komisija poslance in poslanke opozoriti na odgovor na pisno vprašanje E‑000160/2012 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/QP-WEB. .
As regards the concrete measures the Commission is planning to adopt, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question E‑000160/2012 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/QP-WEB .
Zakonodaja EU o fitofarmacevtskih sredstvih temelji na tveganjih.
EU legislation for plant protection product is risk based.
Tudi če so insekticidi po naravi strupeni za čebele, je njihova uporaba še vedno mogoča, če je izpostavljenost zmanjšana do stopenj, ki ne povzročajo škodljivih učinkov.
Even if insecticides are, by their nature, toxic to bees, their use may still be possible if exposure is minimised to levels which do not generate harmful effects.
S tem namenom se bodo izvajali ukrepi za zmanjšanje tveganja.
To that aim specific risk mitigation measures shall be applied.
Zaradi različnih zahtev po podatkih, določenih v zakonodaji EU, podatki v dokumentaciji EU, ki je bila ocenjena in strokovno pregledana v okviru zakonodaje EU o pesticidih, in podatki, ki jih je ocenila ameriška agencija za varstvo okolja, niso primerljivi, čeprav se nanašajo na isto aktivno snov, tj. „klotianidin“.
Due to the different data requirements provided for in the EU legislation, the data of the EU dossier, evaluated and peer reviewed in the framework of the EU pesticide legislation, and the data evaluated by US Environmental Protection Agency, although refer to the same active substance ‘clothianidin’, are not comparable.

Zadeva: Samostojnost programa Daphne
Subject: Independence of the Daphne programme
Program Daphne je največji enotni program za preprečevanja nasilja nad ženskami, otroki in mladimi na ravni Evropske unije.
The Daphne programme is the largest single programme for the prevention of violence against women, children and young people at European Union level.
Predstavlja temelj za nevladne in prostovoljne organizacije ter financira več kot 500 nevladnih organizacij v Evropi.
It forms the basis for non‑governmental and voluntary organisations, and funds over 500 NGOs across Europe.
Program Daphne združuje strokovno znanje nevladnih organizacij.
The Daphne programme encompasses the expertise of NGOs.
Poleg tega po vsej Evropski uniji razširja ideje in programe nevladnih organizacij, tako da se lahko njihove ugotovitve izmenjujejo z enako mislečimi organizacijami v drugih državah članicah.
Furthermore, their ideas and programmes are spread throughout the European Union so that their findings can be shared with like-minded organisations in other Member States.
Zato je izjemno pomembno, da ostane program Daphne še naprej samostojen, in se ne prenese pod okrilje novega programa „Pravice in državljanstvo“, kjer vidik spola skorajda ni omenjen.
It is therefore of the utmost importance that the Daphne programme should remain an independent programme and not be incorporated into the new Rights and Citizenship Programme, in which the gender aspect is hardly mentioned.
Kako bo Komisija zagotovila, glede na vlogo in vpliv programa Daphne, da program ne bo izgubil svojih prednostnih nalog in finančnih sredstev zaradi prekrivanja z ostalimi programi Skupnosti?
Given the role and impact of the Daphne programme, how will the Commission ensure that the programme does not lose its priorities and financial resources as a result of overlapping with other Community programmes?

Zadeva: Socialna razsežnost reforme skupne ribiške politike EU
Subject: The social dimension of the reform of the EU common fisheries policy
V predlogu za obsežno reformo skupne ribiške politike EU je Komisija predstavila radikalen pristop do upravljanja ribištva v Evropi.
In its proposals for a major reform of the EU’s common fisheries policy, the Commission has set out a radical approach to fisheries management in Europe.
Namen je zagotoviti preživetje tako staležev rib kot tudi ribičev, obenem pa končati prekomeren ribolov in izčrpavanje staležev rib.
The aim is to secure both fish stocks and fishermen's livelihood for the future while putting an end to overfishing and depletion of fish stocks.
Glede na temeljni pomen socialne razsežnosti te reforme in glede na to, da se na prvi pogled zdi, da ima sveženj reform na tem področju pomanjkljivosti: 1.
Given the fundamental importance of the social dimension of this reform, and considering that, on a first overview, the reform package seems lacking in this specific area: 1.
Kakšne ukrepe namerava Komisija sprejeti, da bi zagotovila prerazporeditev ribiških plovil in preživetje ribičev tudi v prihodnje?
What measures is the Commission planning to take in order to secure the redeployment of fishing vessels and to guarantee fishermen's future livelihood?
Odgovor gospe Damanaki v imenu Komisije
Answer given by Ms Damanaki on behalf of the Commission
(19. marec 2012)
(19 March 2012)
Sveženj reform ima pomembno socialno razsežnost.
The reform package has an important social dimension.
Kot je podrobneje razloženo v neuradnem dokumentu o socialnih vidikih reforme skupne ribiške politike (SRP) http://ec.europa.eu/fisheries/reform/index_sl.htm , je socialna trajnost eden od poglavitnih ciljev SRP.
As explained in more detail in the non‑paper on the social dimension of the common fisheries policy (CFP) reform http://ec.europa.eu/fisheries/reform/index_en.htm , social sustainability is one of the core CFP objectives.
Cilj reforme SRP je doseči naslednje srednje- in dolgoročne cilje: —
The reformed CFP aims at achieving the following mid‑and long-term social objectives: —
preusmeriti trend izgube delovnih mest v ribiškem sektorju, zlasti na področju ribolova;
reversing the decline in employment in the fisheries sector, particularly in the catching segment;
povečati privlačnost ribiškega sektorja in ga preoblikovati v vir visokokakovostnih delovnih mest;
increasing the attractiveness of the fisheries sector and turning it into a source of high quality jobs;
s spodbujanjem rasti in ustvarjanjem delovnih mest zagotoviti preživetje obalnih skupnosti;
ensuring the viability of coastal communities by promoting growth and jobs;
olajšati prehod na trajnostni ribolov in tako omogočiti obnovo ribolovnih staležev;
facilitating the transition to a sustainable fishing, thus allowing for the rebuilding of fishing stocks;
sprostiti potencial evropske akvakulture ter omogočiti njen razvoj in ustvarjanje novih delovnih mest na področju sladkovodne in morske akvakulture.
unlocking the potential of European aquaculture to expand and create new jobs in inland as well as in marine aquaculture.
Vsa orodja nove SRP bi morala prispevati k doseganju teh ciljev; glavni instrument nove SRP je v tem pogledu novi Evropski sklad za pomorstvo in ribištvo.
All tools of the new CFP would need to contribute to achieving these objectives; however the main instrument of the new CFP in this respect is the new European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).
V primerjavi z Evropskim skladom za ribištvo prinaša Evropski sklad za pomorstvo in ribištvo bistveno spremembo pristopa k financiranju ribiškega sektorja, ki bo bolj kot na subvencije za ladjevje, od katerih imajo večinoma korist lastniki plovil, osredotočen na skupne ukrepe in preživetje obalnih skupnosti.
Compared to the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), the EMFF brings about a fundamental change of approach to public funding to the fisheries sector through a focus on collective actions and on the viability of coastal areas rather than fleet subsidies benefitting mostly vessel owners.
Tako naj bi Evropski sklad za pomorstvo in ribištvo ukinil večino veljavnih ukrepov za ladjevje in namesto tega ta del financiranja uporabil za oblikovanje ribištva in akvakulture, ki bosta uspešna in trajnostna, ter za razvoj področij, ki so odvisna od ribolova.
Thus, the EMFF proposes to eliminate most of the current fleet measures and instead use this part of the funding for achieving viable and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture and for the development of areas depending on fishing.

Zadeva: Reforma skupne ribiške politike EU
Subject: Reform of the EU common fisheries policy
Glede na zadnje poročilo Organizacije Združenih narodov za prehrano in kmetijstvo je svetovna ribiška flota trenutno 2,5‑krat večja, kot bi bilo potrebno.
According to the latest report of the UN body the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the global fishing fleet is currently 2.5 times larger than needed.
Velik del presežnih zmogljivosti je posledica vladnih subvencij, zlasti v Evropi in Aziji.
Much of this overcapacity has been driven by government subsidies, particularly in Europe and Asia.
Poleg presežnih zmogljivosti pa so številne ribolovne metode netrajnostne z drugih vidikov.
On top of the overcapacity, many fishing methods are unsustainable from other points of view.
Te metode imajo pomemben negativen učinek na osnovno delovanje morskih ekosistemov.
These methods have a major negative impact on the basic functioning of marine ecosystems.
Rezultat desetletij nenadzorovanega svetovnega ribolova, ki so ga gnali pohlep, korupcija, slabo upravljanje in nezanimanje javnosti, je postopno zmanjševanje staležev rib v vseh oceanih.
The result of decades of unchecked global fishing impelled by greed, corruption, mismanagement and public indifference is the progressive collapse of fish stocks in all oceans.
Skoraj 80 % svetovnih ribjih populacij je prekomerno izkoriščanih, izčrpanih ali v stanju zmanjševanja.
Almost 80 % of the world’s fisheries are overexploited, depleted, or in a state of collapse.
Po celem svetu je približno 90 % staležev velikih plenilskih rib že izginilo.
Worldwide, about 90 % of the stock of large predator fish has already disappeared.
Glede na reformo skupne ribiške politike EU s strani Komisije: 1.
Given the Commission’s reform of the EU’s common fisheries policy: 1.
Ali Komisija načrtuje nove ukrepe za postopno obnovo staležev rib? 2.
Is the Commission planning new measures for a gradual recovery of fish stocks? 2.
Ali ustrezno upošteva biotsko raznovrstnost v Sredozemlju in večvrstni ribolov v njem? 3.
Is it taking due account of biodiversity in the Mediterranean and the multi-species nature of its fishery? 3.
Kakšne ukrepe bo sprejela Komisija, da bi zagotovila, da bodo pri pripravi novih sporazumov o ribištvu s tretjimi državami določeni ustrezni parametri za zagotovitev bolj trajnostne rabe virov?
What steps will the Commission take to ensure that when drawing up new fisheries agreements with third countries, suitable parameters are set to ensure a more sustainable use of resources?

Zadeva: Ratifikacija sporazuma ACTA v državah članicah podpisnicah pred razpravo v pristojnih odborih Evropskega parlamenta in posledični sklep
Subject: Ratification of ACTA in the signatory Member States ahead of the discussion in the competent committees of the European Parliament and a subsequent decision
Notranje sporočilo generalnega direktorata Parlamenta za komuniciranje navaja, da sporazum ACTA ne bo mogel začeti veljati, če ga več držav članic ne bo ratificiralo.
The internal briefing by Parliament’s DG COMM states that ACTA cannot enter into force if a number of Member States fail to ratify the agreement.
Na ravni EU ni bilo jasno izraženo, kaj se bo zgodilo, če več držav članic tega sporazuma ne bo ratificiralo ali če bodo odložile njegovo ratifikacijo.
No clear indication has been given at EU level as to what will happen if a number of Member States do not ratify the agreement or if they suspend its ratification.
Ali lahko Komisija potrdi, da bi neratifikacija ali odložitev pravno ovirala učinkovitost sporazuma ACTA, vsaj kar zadeva kazenskopravno izvrševanje pravic intelektualne lastnine? 2.
Can the Commission confirm that non-ratification or suspension will legally hamper the effectiveness of ACTA, at least as far as criminal enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) is concerned?

Pravni red Skupnosti zajema pogodbe EU in sekundarno zakonodajo, ki izhaja iz pogodb (uredbe, direktive, odločbe, priporočila in mnenja).
The Community acquis comprises the EU Treaties and secondary legislation derived from the Treaties (regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions).
Ti pravni instrumenti se nanašajo na države članice in ne veljajo za institucije.
These legislative instruments are directed at the Member States and do not apply to the institutions.
Vendar pa si Komisija, kar zadeva enake možnosti, prizadeva zagotoviti, da se standardi, ki veljajo za države članice, uporabljajo tudi pri kadrovski politiki institucij.
However, as regards equal opportunities, the Commission seeks to ensure that the same standards as are applicable in the Member States are also applied in the personnel policies of the institutions.
Revidirani kadrovski predpisi, ki so bili sprejeti 1. maja 2004, vključujejo številne določbe za spodbujanje enakih možnosti žensk in moških v institucijah, vključno s prepovedjo razlikovanja na podlagi spola, spremembo pri dokaznem bremenu v primeru pritožbe zaradi takšnega razlikovanja in večjo razpoložljivostjo ugodnosti in služb, ki omogočajo uskladitev poklicnega in zasebnega življenja.
The revised Staff Regulations, which were adopted on 1 May 2004, include a considerable number of provisions to promote equal opportunities between men and women in the institutions, including the prohibition of discrimination based on sex, a shift in the burden of proof in relation to complaints of such discrimination and the greater availability of facilities and services to facilitate the reconciliation of professional and private life.
Cenjeni članici sporočam tudi, da kadrovski predpisi (člen 1d) prepovedujejo razlikovanje tudi na podlagi mnogih drugih vzrokov, kot so narodnost, vera, politično prepričanje, invalidnost in spolna usmerjenost.
The Honourable Member may further wish to know that the Staff Regulations (Article 1d) also prohibit discrimination on many other grounds, including ethnic origin, religion, political opinion, disability and sexual orientation.

Zadeva: Penjenje na reki Rabi
Subject: Foaming of the River Rába
Močno penjenje na reki Rabi na zahodu Madžarske že od leta 2001 povzroča resne težave.
Since 2001, the severe foaming of the water in the River Rába in western Hungary has been causing serious problems.
Vzrok za to je obremenjevanje okolja z naftalin sulfonatom iz usnjarskih predelovalnih obratov ob avstrijskem delu reke pri naselju Jennersdorf.
Its cause is unambiguous: pollution with naphthaline sulphonate from tanneries in the Jennersdorf area on the Austrian section of the river.
Med pristojnimi madžarskimi in avstrijskimi organi že leta poteka poravnalni postopek, vendar zaenkrat niso bili sprejeti še nobeni konkretni ukrepi, da se omenjena težava odpravi.
For years, the Hungarian and Austrian authorities have been trying to reach agreement on how to solve the problem, but this has still not resulted in any concrete action.
Penjenje na reki občutno škodi turizmu na tem področju in dejavnosti ribičev ter veslačem na divjih vodah, ki so svoj kotiček našli ravno na tej reki.
In the meantime, the foaming of the river has been causing serious damage to tourism in the region, where angling and whitewater canoeing used to flourish, particularly on the Rába.
Raba kot edina madžarska reka z brzicami predstavlja pomembno naravno dobrino, ki pa zaradi stalne obremenjenosti okolja in onesnaženosti počasi propada.
The Rába is the only river in Hungary which is suitable for whitewater canoeing and is also of great natural beauty/interest, but this aspect of its character is gradually being destroyed by the constant pollution.
