– ob upoštevanju predlogov Komisije z dne 29. septembra 2010 o zakonodajnem svežnju o gospodarskem upravljanju (postopek v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem, odpravljanje makroekonomskih ravnovesij),
– having regard to the Commission’s proposals on the economic governance legislative package (excessive deficit procedure, correction of macroeconomic imbalances) of 29 September 2010,
– ob upoštevanju sporočila Komisije z naslovom Letni pregled rasti: spodbujanje ukrepov EU za celovit odziv na krizo (KOM(2011) 11 konč.),
– having regard to the Commission Communication entitled ‘Annual Growth Survey: advancing the EU’s comprehensive response to the crisis’ (COM(2011) 11 final),
A. ker je Komisija z letnim pregledom rasti začela prvi cikel evropskega semestra, kakor ga je 7. septembra 2010 odobril Evropski svet in ki se osredotoča na predhodno usklajevanje proračunskih in ekonomskih politik v skladu s paktom za stabilnost in rast na eni strani in strategijo Evropa 2020 na drugi, ker naj bi Svet na zasedanju marca 2011 podal smernice za politike držav članic na obeh področjih,
A. whereas the Commission’s Annual Growth Survey launched the first cycle of the European Semester, as approved by the European Council on 7 September 2010, focusing on an ex-ante coordination of budgetary and economic policies in line with the Stability and Growth Pact on the one hand and the Europe 2020 Strategy on the other hand; whereas the March 2011 Council is expected to provide ‘guidance’ for member states’ policies in both areas,
B. ker Komisija optimistično napoveduje, da se kažejo znaki okrevanja gospodarstva, čeprav ti še niso enakomerni; ker se je večina držav članic leta 2010 soočala in se še sooča z gospodarsko stagnacijo, nekatere so padle v novo, še hujšo recesijo, druge so imele stalno negativno stopnjo rasti, le malo pa je takih, ki so leta 2010 imele koristi od večjega izvoza po oživitvi svetovne trgovine; ker se tudi za te države izvoznice pričakuje, da se bo njihova gospodarska rast v letu 2011 upočasnila,
B. whereas the Commission predicts optimistically that there are ‘signs of economic recovery, but still uneven’; whereas in reality in 2010 and onwards most member states still faced a situation of economic stagnation, some fell into a double-dip recession, others had persistently negative growth rates and only very few of them could benefit in 2010 from ‘growing exports after the resumption of global trade’; whereas even for these latter exporting countries a slowdown in economic growth is expected for 2011,
C. ker Komisija poudarja, da v finančnem sektorju še niso vzpostavljeni normalni pogoji, obstajajo pa tudi primeri ranljivosti ob obremenitvah in odvisnosti od državne pomoči, in da so v več državah članicah dolgovi gospodinjstev in podjetij še vedno preveliki,
C. whereas the Commission emphasizes that ‘the financial sector has not yet returned to normal conditions and there are situations of vulnerability to stress and dependency on state-support’, that credit is still tight and that ‘in a number of Member States household and corporate debts are still excessive’,
D. ker mogoče Komisija v kritični analizi stanja finančnega sektorja še vedno preveč optimistično opisuje dejansko stanje: veliko evropskih bank ima kupe dolgov – javnih, bančnih in nepremičninskih, veliko jih je nelikvidnih in odvisnih od poceni financiranja Evropske centralne banke, da ne bi potonile, veliko jih ima tudi ogromne izgube, ki so jih le deloma priznale, posledica tega pa je, da so nekatere postale plačilno nesposobne,
D. whereas the Commission’s critical analysis of the situation of the financial sector might still paint a much too rosy picture of the real situation: Many European banks hold mountains of debt – government, bank and property; many are, in effect, illiquid and depend on cheap ECB finance to stay afloat; many have also incurred huge losses that they have only partly recognised, and as a result, some are, in effect, insolvent,
E. ker Evropska unija in vlade držav članic še niso izvedle potrebnih reform, tako da mora finančni sektor delovati predvsem v interesu javnosti, se sprijazniti z nižjimi donosi ter sprejeti izogibanje tveganjem in dolgoročne cilje namesto kratkoročnih dobičkov, prav tako pa niso uresničile potrebnih reform za strožjo ureditev finančnih trgov,
E. whereas so far the European Union and member states governments have not implemented the necessary reforms so that the financial sector must operate first and foremost in the public interest, accept lower returns and be geared to risk-aversion and long-term targets instead of short-term profits, nor did they deliver on the necessary reforms for a stricter regulation of financial markets,
F. ker je Svet v svojih sklepih z dne 4. februarja 2011 obravnaval potrebo po ambiciozno zastavljenih testih izjemnih situacij za banke; ker testi izjemnih situacij za banke, ki jih je EU že izvajala, očitno niso bili dovolj strogi, saj je bilo poslovanje Bank of Ireland in Allied Irish Bank pozitivno ocenjeno, kmalu zatem pa sta bili ti banki v vedno večjih težavah, zaradi česar so države območja evra začele izvajati ukrepe za reševanje Irske,
F. whereas the Council Conclusions of 4 February 2011 addressed the need for ‘ambitious stress tests’ for the banks; whereas the bank stress tests already applied by the EU were obviously not stringent enough, as they gave both Bank of Ireland and Allied Irish Bank a clean bill of health, whose aggravating problems only shortly afterwards triggered the euro-area bailout for Ireland,
G. ker so vlade EU sprejele ukrepe, s katerimi so želele za vsako ceno zaščiti imetnike bančnih obveznic in so zato raje prevalile izgube na davkoplačevalce, čeprav so s tem do skrajnosti oslabile plačilno sposobnost vlad; ker je to temeljna logika evropskega mehanizma za stabilnost, ki še bolj zaostruje varčevalno politiko v Evropski uniji in finančno breme reševanja finančnega sektorja ponovno prelaga na navadne delavce, upokojence in druge, katerih delovna mesta, plače ter socialne storitve in pravice so zelo ogrožene,
G. whereas EU governments took action so that banks’ bondholders must be protected at all costs, preferring to impose losses on taxpayers instead – even if this stretches governments’ solvency to breaking point; whereas this is the underlying rationale of the European Stability Mechanism, triggering a further deepening of austerity policies across the European Union, thus putting the financial burden of rescuing the financial sector again on the ordinary population of workers, pensioners etc., whose jobs, wages, social benefits and rights are heavily under attack,
H. ker je po osnutku skupnega poročila o zaposlovanju v EU trenutno 23, 1 milijona brezposelnih (9,6 odstotka, v nekaterih državah članicah pa 20 odstotkov), kar je 5,6 milijona ljudi manj kot v drugem četrtletju 2008, ko je bilo brezposelnih največ, brezposelnost mladih v EU pa je 20,4-odstotna (več kot 40-odstotna v nekaterih državah članicah); ker rast realnih stroškov dela na enoto v Evropski uniji od sredine leta 2009 pada in je v drugem četrtletju 2010 dosegla dvoodstotno letno rast,
H. whereas according to the draft Joint Employment Report, EU unemployment now stands at 23.1 million persons (9.6 per cent, about 20 per cent in some member states) - 5.6 million people lower than its peak level in the second quarter of 2008 - and EU youth unemployment stands at 20.4 per cent (more than 40 per cent in some member states); whereas growth in real unit labour costs in the EU has been falling since mid 2009, to reach -2% per annum in second quarter 2010,
I. ker se bo brezposelnost še povečala z varčevalnimi ukrepi Evropske unije in odločitvami držav članic – ki so jih nekatere morale sprejeti v okviru skupne pomoči EU in Mednarodnega denarnega sklada –, da bodo močno zmanjšale zaposlovanje v javnem sektorju,
I. whereas unemployment will be further aggravated by the EU’s austerity drive and member states’ decisions - imposed on some in the context of the joint EU-IMF bailouts - to severely cut down public sector employment,
J. ker je generalni sekretar Evropske konfederacije sindikatov John Monks v pismu komisarju Olliju Rehnu nedavno dejal, da se bodo s predlogi o gospodarskem upravljanju ti pritiski verjetno razširili na celotno območje evra in zunaj njega in se ne bodo izvajali samo v državah, ki so zašle v težave na trgih svetovnih obveznic; dejal je tudi, da Evropska konfederacija sindikatov nikakor ne bo mogla podpreti tovrstnih ukrepov EU ali predlogov o gospodarskem upravljanju, pa tudi ne novih pogodb, ki bi jih zajemale, saj v nekaterih ozirih spominjajo na (kaznovalne) določbe o plačilu vojne odškodnine v versajski pogodbi ter status držav članic skoraj izenačijo s statusom kolonij,
J. whereas the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, John Monks, recently stated in a letter to Commissioner Olli Rehn that ‘the proposals on economic governance are likely to generalise these pressures in the euro-zone and beyond, and not just apply to countries in difficulties on the world’s bond markets’, and that ‘the ETUC will find it impossible to support action by the EU along these lines, or proposals on economic governance, and any new treaty which contains them, which resemble in some aspects the reparation (punishment) provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, and reduce member states to quasi colonial status’,
K. ker bodo varčevalne politike EU in držav članic – občutno zmanjšanje javnih naložb, odpravljanje socialnega varstva in socialne države, nov val privatizacije javnih storitev, omejevanje rasti plač, povečevanje stopenj DDV itd. – še bolj oslabile kupno moč in notranje povpraševanje, zmanjšale davčne prihodke in podaljšale gospodarsko stagnacijo ali povzročile novo recesijo in ker s takimi politikami uradno razglašen cilj zmanjšanja javnega dolga, večjega zaposlovanja in oblikovanja okolju prijaznega gospodarstva zelo verjetno ne bo dosežen,
K. whereas EU and member states austerity policies – severe cuts in public investment, continuous dismantling of social protection and the welfare state, a further wave of privatisation of public services, curbing of wages, raising VAT rates etc. – will result in a further weakening of purchasing power and internal demand, a decrease of tax receipts and a prolonging of economic stagnation or a falling back to recession, and with such austerity policies the officially proclaimed aim of reducing public debt, increasing employment and ‘greening the economy’ very likely will not be achieved,
Splošne pripombe – strategija Evropa 2020 in njeno izvajanje
General Remarks - Europe 2020 and its implementation
2. odločno nasprotuje strategiji Evropa 2020, saj ne zagotavlja rešitev za težave prebivalstva, poleg tega pa nadaljuje in krepi zmotne politike EU, ki so privedle do krize; ostro kritizira, da v njej sploh ni obravnavano vprašanje enakosti žensk; poudarja, da glede na vse večjo nezaposlenost in revščino strategija ni jasno usmerjena k vprašanju, kako učinkovito zmanjšati brezposelnost z instrumenti gospodarske in socialne politike ter politike zaposlovanja za trajnostni okoljski in socialni razvoj in polno zaposlenost z zagotovljenimi pravicami delavcev;
Strongly opposes the Europe 2020 Strategy, as it does not provide any solutions for the problems of the population and also continues and reinforces the mistaken EU policies which led to the crisis; strongly criticises that equality for women is not at all being addressed; points out that against the background of increased unemployment and increasing poverty, the strategy does not provide a clear focus on how to effectively reduce it via economic, social and employment policy instruments for environmental and social sustainable development and full employment with workers’ rights;
4. poudarja, da s sedanjim proračunom EU ni mogoče zagotoviti niti ustreznih proračunskih sredstev za izvajanje vodilnih pobud strategije Evropa 2020 in da brez prilagoditve sedanjega večletnega finančnega okvira nikakor ne bo mogoče, da bi strategijo Evropa 2020 v okviru letnih proračunov EU izvedli do leta 2014; poudarja, da to jasno kaže, kako resno Svet – ki je vedno pripravljen omejiti proračun EU, pri tem pa povečati naloge EU –, jemlje svoje zaveze glede strategije Evropa 2020;
Highlights that the current EU budget even fails to provide the Europe 2020 flagship initiatives with corresponding budgetary resources and that without an adaptation of the current multi-annual financial framework (MFF) there is no chance to execute Europe 2020 in the EU’s annual budgets before 2014; emphasizes that this sheds some dazzling light on how serious the Council - always intent on curbing the EU budget while enlarging the EU’s tasks - takes its own commitments to Europe 2020;
7. opozarja, da je kljub nekaterim plitvim izjavam o zmanjšanju revščine in socialne izključenosti (evropska platforma za boj proti revščini) ter zaščiti najranljivejših skupin v družbi v okviru politik fiskalne konsolidacije Komisija uspešno vztrajala, da se v okviru svežnja rešitev, ki ga vodita Evropska unija in Mednarodni denarni sklad, zmanjšajo minimalne plače (Irska, Latvija), socialne storitve (Irska, Grčija, Latvija) ter zdravstveno varstvo in bolnišnična oskrba (Latvija, Romunija, Grčija, Madžarska); te politike ostro kritizira ter poziva Komisijo in Svet, naj prekličeta zahtevane pogoje, ki so bili tem državam naloženi;
Points out that, despite some superficial rhetoric about ‘reducing poverty and social exclusion’ (European Platform against Poverty) and ‘protecting the most vulnerable groups in society’ in the framework of ‘fiscal consolidation policies’, the Commission successfully insisted on implementing cuts in minimum wages (Ireland, Latvia), social benefits (Ireland, Greece, Latvia) and the provision of health care and hospital care (Latvia, Romania, Greece, Hungary) in the framework of EU-IMF led ‘rescue packages’; strongly criticises these policies and calls on the Commission and the Council to revoke the conditionality requirements imposed on these countries;
9. poudarja, da se v integriranih smernicah Evropa 2020 od držav članic zahteva strog pristop, saj se jih sili k decentralizaciji kolektivnih pogajanj, prožnemu zaposlovanju, zamrzovanju in omejevanju rasti plač v javnem sektorju (smernica 2: „Ustrezno določanje plač v javnem sektorju bi bilo treba razumeti kot pomembno znamenje za spodbuditev zmernosti plač v zasebnem sektorju v skladu s potrebo po izboljšanju konkurenčnosti.“); opozarja, da v področje uporabe Pogodbe niso vključena vprašanja o plačah in kolektivnih pogajanjih, in poziva Svet, naj iz integriranih smernic Evropa 2020 takšna priporočila črta;
Underlines that the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines demand a heavy handed approach from member states pushing for a decentralisation of collective bargaining, flexibilisation of employment, freezing and curbing public sector wages (guideline 2: ‘Adequate wage setting in the public sector should be regarded as an important signal to ensure wage moderation in the private sector in line with the need to improve competitiveness’); points out that the Treaty excludes issues of pay and collective bargaining from its scope and calls on the Council to delete such recommendations from the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines;
12. opozarja, da se z občutnim zmanjšanjem števila ciljev na pet zelo skromnih krovnih ciljev strategije Evropa 2020 v primerjavi z lizbonsko strategijo zdi, da se pri izvajanju strategije Evropa 2020 ustvarja podoben razkorak, kot se je to zgodilo z lizbonsko strategijo v preteklem desetletju; meni, da izvajanje letnih pregledov nacionalnih programov reform morda ne bo vredno truda in bo samo izguba časa;
Points out that - against the background of the drastically reduced number of 5 very modest headline targets in Europe 2020 in comparison to the Lisbon Strategy - a similar ‘implementation gap’ seems to open up with respect to Europe 2020, as was the case with the Lisbon Strategy in the past decade; considers that the exercise of annual reviews of ‘National Reform Programmes’ might not be worth the effort and simply a waste of time;
Letni pregled rasti, gospodarsko upravljanje in evropski semester
The Annual Growth Survey, Economic Governance and the European Semester
14. poziva Svet, naj zavrne zakonodajne predloge Komisije o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem, saj bo to še povečalo prociklično naravo pakta za stabilnost in rast ter upad gospodarske rasti, zato bo še težje uresničiti cilje glede javnih financ;
Calls on the Council to reject the Commission’s legislative proposals on the excessive deficit procedure, as these will worsen the pro-cyclical nature of the Stability and Growth Pact and worsen the economic downturn which, in turn, will make it even more difficult to reach the targets on public finances;
Potreba po alternativni politiki socialno-ekonomskega upravljanja EU
The need for an alternative policy on EU socio-economic governance
20. poziva Svet, naj razširi mandat Evropske investicijske banke ter Evropske banke za obnovo in razvoj, da bodo njune politike posojil lahko krile ves obseg novega evropskega načrta za oživitev gospodarstva (na primer tudi trajnostno industrijsko politiko itd.);
Calls on the Council to broaden the mandate of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), so that their lending policies can cover the whole range of the new European Recovery Plan (e.g. including sustainable industrial policy etc.);
23. poudarja, da bi morale EU in države članice izvajati mehanizme za ciljno in demokratično nadzorovano javno usmerjanje naložb iz novega načrta za oživitev gospodarstva k tistim sektorjem gospodarstva, ki jih je najbolj prizadela kriza, k novim trajnostnim industrijam in storitvam v nastanku ter k manj razvitim regijam; vztraja pri aktivni udeležbi in sodelovanju tistih, ki jih te naložbe zadevajo;
Points out that the EU and member states should implement mechanisms for a targeted and democratically controlled public steering of investment from the new recovery plan to those sectors of the economy most affected by the crisis, to newly emerging sustainable industries and services and to disadvantaged regions; insists on the active involvement and participation of those affected by these investments;
26. poziva države članice, naj bolj obdavčijo bančne in menedžerske nagrade, dohodke iz kapitala (dividende, obrestne mere), kapitalske dobičke ter veliko premoženje in velike dediščine, pri čemer naj te prejemke uporabijo za povečanje naložb, v katerih ima glavno vlogo javni sektor; poudarja, da se bo s tem dinamika povpraševanja okrepila in vključila v strategijo za okoljsko in socialno trajnosten razvoj, zato da se bodo primanjkljaji na srednji rok zmanjšali; poudarja, da morajo države članice zmanjšati vojaške izdatke in okolju škodljive subvencije, s čimer bodo pomagale h konsolidaciji javnih financ;
Calls on the member states to increase taxes on bank’s and manager’s bonuses, on income from capital (dividends, interest rates), on capital gains and on big fortunes and inheritances, using the receipts from these to increase public sector led investment; points out that in this way demand dynamics can be strengthened and embedded into a strategy for environmentally and socially sustainable development, with a perspective of diminishing deficits in the medium term; points out that member states should provide for cuts in military spending and in subsidies harmful to the environment to assist fiscal consolidation;
29. meni, da bodo prenizka plačila in prisila evropskih delavcev, da drug drugemu znižajo plače, sprožila deflacijo, zmanjšala kupno moč in notranje povpraševanje ter povečala tveganje, da bo gospodarstvo ponovno zapadlo v recesijo; vztraja, da je treba uvesti učinkovito najnižjo mejo plačil na dnu trgov dela (minimalne plače, dodatni pojem plače za preživetje), izvajati načelo enakega obravnavanja in enakega plačila za enako delo ali delo z enako vrednostjo na istem delovnem mestu in omogočiti razvoj naraščajočega plačila za nadomestitev inflacije, zvišanje na podlagi produktivnosti in močno komponento prerazporeditve;
Considers that depressing wages and forcing Europe’s workers to undercut each others salaries will trigger deflation, reduce purchasing power and internal demand and increase the risk that the economy will fall back into recession; insists on the need to establish effective wage floors at the bottom of the labour markets (minimum wages, additionally the concept of a living wage), the implementation of the principle of equal treatment and equal pay for equal work or work of equal value at the same workplace and allowing for upward wage developments compensating inflation, productivity increases and a strong re-distribution component;
32. poudarja, da se je treba boriti proti stereotipom na vseh področjih in v vseh obdobjih življenja, saj so med najbolj trdovratnimi vzroki za neenakost med moškimi in ženskami, ki vplivajo na njihovo izbiro pri izobraževanju, usposabljanju in zaposlovanju, na delitev gospodinjskih in družinskih obveznosti, udeležbo v javnem življenju, sodelovanje in zastopanost na mestih, kjer se sprejemajo odločitve, in pri njihovem izboru na trgu dela; poziva k oblikovanju direktive o preprečevanju nasilja nad ženskami;
Emphasizes the importance of combating stereotypes in all walks and at all stages of life, since these are one of the most persistent causes of inequality between men and women, affecting their choices in the field of education, training and employment, the distribution of domestic and family responsibilities, participation in public life and participation and representation in decision-making positions, and their choices regarding the labour market; calls for a directive on preventing violence against women;
36. zaradi razprave o enotnem trgu vztraja, da je treba v primarno zakonodajo vključiti klavzulo o socialnem napredku, pri čemer se določi, da imajo temeljne pravice na splošno in pravica do stavke, sindikalnega boja, kolektivnih pogajanj itd. vedno prednost pred „temeljnimi svoboščinami“ notranjega trga;
Insists, with a view to the debate on the single market, on the introduction of a Social Progress Clause in EU primary law, stipulating that fundamental rights in general and the right to strike and industrial action, to collective bargaining etc. always have primacy over the ‘fundamental freedoms’ of the internal market;
