poudarja, da je točna in skladna ocena potreb nujni pogoj za uspešno izvajanje humanitarne pomoči; priznava, da po zaslugi ocene svetovnih potreb in ocene pozabljenih kriz humanitarna pomoč, ki jo upravlja GD ECHO, izpolnjuje bistveno merilo, in sicer da strogo temelji na potrebah; poudarja, da mora Komisija nadaljevati svoja prizadevanja za vključevanje v razpravo o vzpostavitvi bolje usklajevane in skladnejše ocene potreb; pozdravlja dialog med Komisijo in ZN na tem področju;
Points out that accurate and coherent needs assessment is an essential prerequisite for the effective implementation of humanitarian aid; acknowledges that, thanks to the Global Needs Assessment (GNA) and Forgotten Crisis Assessment (FCA), the humanitarian assistance managed by ECHO fulfils the vital criterion of being strictly needs-based; stresses the necessity for the Commission to continue its efforts in engaging in debate on setting up better coordinated and more coherent needs assessment; welcomes the dialogue between the Commission and the UN in this respect;
Partnerji iz okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu
FPA partners
opozarja na kakovostno delo partnerjev GD ECHO, zahvaljujoč učinkoviti izbirni metodi – zlasti prek sporazuma o partnerstvu – in oblikovanju standardov in praks, namenjenih humanitarnemu področju; prav tako poudarja, da je učinkovit nadzor uporabe sredstev v okviru revizij, ki so jih pri partnerjih izvedle zasebne revizijske službe, bistven in prispeva k legitimnosti humanitarnega sektorja; vendar pa v skrbi za ohranjanje različnih partnerjev in zagotavljanje dostopa do sredstev malim in srednjim nevladnim organizacijam opaža zapletenost upravnih postopkov za dostop, pretirane upravne pristojbine, ki so zelo obremenjujoče za nevladne organizacije, in težave, ki so nastale pri potekajočih revizijah zaradi pomanjkanja človeških virov, ter poziva k prilagoditvi uporabljenih mehanizmov posebnostim humanitarnega sektorja in lokalnim potrebam, da se humanitarna pomoč ustrezno usmeri in da se dovolj zgodaj začne usklajevati delovanje različnih organizacij, ki sodelujejo v operacijah pomoči;
Draws attention to the high-quality work carried out by DG ECHO's partners, achieved by means of an effective selection method – in particular through the FPA – and the development of standards and practices applicable in the humanitarian field; stresses also that effective monitoring of the use of funds in the form of audits of the partners carried out by private audit firms is essential and helps to legitimise the humanitarian sector; notes, however, in the interests of safeguarding the diversity of the partners and guaranteeing access for small and medium-sized NGOs, the complexity of the administrative access procedures, the excessive administrative charges, which are very high for NGOs, and the difficulties experienced with undergoing audits, given the lack of human resources, and calls for the tools used to be appropriate to the specific requirements of the humanitarian sector and to local requirements, so that humanitarian aid is targeted appropriately and coordinated action by the various aid organisations involved begins at an early stage;
pozdravlja prizadevanja GD ECHO, da bi spodbudil uporabo inovativnih pristopov kot so tisti, ki temelji na gotovini („cash-based approach“), zlasti brezpogojnih nakazil, ki so namenjena najbolj izpostavljenim skupinam; ugotavlja, da bi bili ti pristopi ob uporabi lokalnih trgov lahko učinkovitejši od pomoči v naravi in ne pomenijo vedno višjega fiduciarnega tveganja; zato spodbuja GD ECHO, naj še naprej razvija pristope, ki temeljijo na gotovini, in spodbuja svoje partnerje k njihovi uporabi.
Commends DG ECHO's efforts to promote the use of innovative approaches such as the cash-based approach, and in particular unconditional transfers, which are directed at the most vulnerable groups; notes that, by using local markets, these approaches can be more efficient than assistance in kind, and do not necessarily carry a greater fiduciary risk; urges DG ECHO, therefore, to continue to develop these cash-based approaches and to encourage its partners to use them;
opozarja na sklepe po treh ciklih revizij na sedežu partnerjev, ki jih je opravil sektor za zunanjo revizijo GD ECHO, o naravi in neoporečnosti finančnih odnosov med GD ECHO in njegovimi partnerji, v skladu s katerim so bila sredstva, ki jih je dala na voljo Komisija, v celoti porabljena z razumno skrbnostjo ter v skladu z veljavnimi pravili in predpisi;
Recalls the conclusions reached following the three cycles of headquarter (HQ) audits carried out by DG ECHO's External Audit Sector (EAS) on the nature and solidity of financial relations between DG ECHO and its partners, to the effect that funds made available by the Commission have been used, on the whole, with reasonable care and in accordance with the rules and regulations in force;
ugotavlja, da se večina priporočil na osnovi revizij na sedežu partnerjev iz okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu, ki jih je opravil sektor za zunanjo revizijo, nanaša na pravila partnerjev za oddajo javnih naročil; opozarja na eno glavnih ugotovitev revizij na sedežu partnerjev, in sicer da nimajo vsi partnerji iz okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu (najsi gre za kontrolni mehanizem A ali P) vzpostavljenih postopkov, ki bi bili popolnoma skladni z načeli priloge IV okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu za leto 2008; ugotavlja, da obstajajo sporna vprašanja glede zagotavljanja celotnih spisov o javnih naročilih in vzpostavitve bolje dokumentiranih in neoporečnih postopkov javnih naročil;
Notes that most of the recommendations resulting from EAS HQ audits of the FPA partners refer to the procurement rules of the partners; draws attention to one of the main findings of the HQ audits, which is that not all FPA partners (coming under both the A- and the P-control mechanisms) have procedures in place which are fully compliant with the principles of Annex IV to the 2008 FPA; notes that there are issues relating to the provision of complete procurement files and the establishment of better-documented and solid procurement procedures;
ugotavlja, da morajo partnerji iz okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu obravnavati naslednja vprašanja: vzpostavitev ustreznih mehanizmov notranjih kontrol, izboljšanje in večja preglednost sistemov porazdelitve finančnih stroškov, izboljšanje slabosti v njihovih računovodskih sistemih in zavezanost vodstva standardom kakovosti, vzpostavitev postopka za obvladovanje tveganja za celotno organizacijo ter ozaveščanje o nevarnostih goljufij in korupcije;
Notes that the following issues must be addressed by the FPA partners: establishing appropriate internal control mechanisms, improving their financial cost allocation systems and making them more transparent, improving weaknesses in their accounting systems and their management's commitment to quality standards, establishing a risk management process for the whole organisation and raising awareness of the dangers of fraud and corruption;
ugotavlja, da partnerji GD ECHO lahko sklenejo pogodbe z izvajalskimi partnerji za izvajanje dejavnosti v podporo humanitarnim dejavnostim; obžaluje, da partnerji iz okvirnega sporazuma o partnerstvu nimajo ustreznih postopkov za izvajalske partnerje in jih ne nadzirajo in upravljajo ustrezno; zato poziva Komisijo, naj obravnava to vprašanje glede na to, da utegne nastati tveganje goljufij, da s tem povezana dokumentacija ni dostopna in da GD ECHO nima mehanizmov za ugotavljanje, kdo so partnerji podizvajalci;
Notes that ECHO partners can subcontract implementing partners to carry out activities to support humanitarian actions; deplores the lack of proper procedures, and of oversight and proper management by FPA partners of their implementing partners; calls on the Commission accordingly to address this issue, considering the risk to which this may give rise in cases of fraud, the lack of access to underlying documents and the fact that ECHO does not have mechanisms to identify the subcontracted implementing partners;
meni, da je dejansko in stalno vključevanje upravičencev v načrtovanje in upravljanje pomoči eden temeljnih pogojev za kakovosten in hiter humanitarni odziv, zlasti v primeru dolgotrajnih kriz; poudarja, da v številnih primerih ni formalnih mehanizmov za pritožbe/povratne informacije upravičenca zadevnemu partnerju ali jasnih pravil o varstvu tistih, ki opozorijo na nepravilnosti; poudarja, da je ta ukrep pomemben za izboljšanje učinkovitosti in odgovornosti ter preprečevanje možnosti zlorabe materialne pomoči; poziva GD ECHO, naj nemudoma vzpostavi take mehanizme;
Believes that genuine and continuous involvement of beneficiaries in the planning and management of aid is one of the essential preconditions for high-quality, prompt humanitarian responses, particularly in the case of long-term crises; points out that in many cases there are no formal mechanisms in place to provide complaints/feedback from the beneficiary to the partner concerned or clear rules on the protection of whistleblowers; stresses that this is an important measure for improving the effectiveness and accountability, and preventing potential misuse of, aid materials; calls on DG ECHO to establish such mechanisms without delay;
opozarja na priporočilo sektorja za zunanjo revizijo, da je treba izboljšati spremljanje razdeljevanja pomoči in spremljanje po njem, ki ga izvajajo zaposleni, ki niso vključeni v sam proces, da se opredeli, ali so bile z oceno potreb ugotovljene vse zahteve in ali so te zahteve izpolnjene; poziva Komisijo, naj uporabi izkušnje, pridobljene s temi dejavnostmi spremljanja;
Recalls the EAS recommendation according to which there is a need for improved distribution and post-distribution monitoring by staff not involved in the process itself, so as to evaluate whether needs assessment has identified all requirements and whether these requirements have been met; calls on the Commission to implement the lessons learned from these monitoring activities;
Partnerji iz ZN
UN partners
opozarja na mnenje Evropskega računskega sodišča iz posebnega poročila št. 15/2009, da so strateške in pravne zahteve za objektivno in pregledno izbiro partnerjev nezadostno prenesene v praktična merila v podporo odločanju v primeru partnerjev iz ZN; poziva Komisijo, naj sistematično izvaja in dokumentira formalne ocene s primerjavo mehanizmov zagotavljanja pomoči ZN in drugih partnerjev;
Recalls the ECA opinion, as set out in its Special Report 15/2009, that the strategic and legal requirements for selecting partners in an objective and transparent way are insufficiently translated into practical criteria to support decision-making in the case of UN partners; calls on the Commission to systematically carry out and document formal appraisals comparing the aid delivery mechanisms of UN partners and those of other partners;
ugotavlja, da Komisija poleg prispevka k posrednim stroškom (do 7 % proračuna za dejavnost), torej k stroškom, ki niso neposredno povezani z izvajanjem določenega projekta, financira tudi različne stroške, ki so neposredno povezani (neposredni stroški) s projektom, vključno s stroški podpore za lokalne urade, zaposlene in prevoz, ki so neposredno povezani z dejavnostmi; poudarja, da se višina stroškov podpore, na primer prevoza, skladiščenja in pretovarjanja (npr. pomoči v hrani) med posameznimi primeri zelo razlikuje; priznava, da so razlogi za to lahko odvisni od razmer v posamezni državi, lahko pa so tudi posledica potrebe po uskladitvi operacij za zagotavljanje večje stroškovne učinkovitosti; predlaga, naj Komisija oceni višino stroškov podpore glede na običajno ali referenčno za tovrsten projekt, da bi ugotovila, ali so razumni;
Notes that, in addition to its contribution to indirect costs (up to 7% of the budget for an activity), i.e. costs that are not directly related to the implementation of a specific project, the Commission funds a variety of costs related directly (direct costs) to the project, including the support costs for local offices, staff and transport directly related to activities; points out that the level of support costs, such as transport, storage and handling (e.g. of food assistance) varies strongly; acknowledges that the reason for this can be country-specific, depending on the conditions, but points out that it can also be due to the need to streamline operations, in order to make them more cost-effective; suggests that the Commission assess the level of support costs with reference to a normal range or benchmark for the type of project concerned, in order to establish whether it is reasonable;
Druga vprašanja
Various other issues
poudarja, da morajo biti poleg glavnih meril, kot so izkušnje in strokovnost, pomembno merilo za izbiro partnerjev tudi učinkovitost, usklajevanje, dialog in hitrost ter stroškovna učinkovitost; pozdravlja dejstvo, da GD ECHO razvija informacijski sistem za primerljive stroške („Cost Observed for Results“) s primerljivimi stroški na enoto; poudarja pomen uporabe informacij, ki jih zagotavlja to orodje, za analizo stroškovne učinkovitosti predlogov projektov;
Stresses that, alongside essential criteria such as experience and expertise, past performance, coordination, dialogue and speed, cost-effectiveness must also be an important criterion for selecting partners; welcomes the fact that ECHO is currently working on the development of a comparative cost information system (‘Cost Observed for Results’) based on comparable unit costs; stresses the importance of using the information provided by this tool to analyse the cost-effectiveness of project proposals;
opozarja na pogosta povečanja proračuna GD ECHO z uporabo rezerve za nujno pomoč ali s prerazporeditvijo iz drugih proračunskih vrstic postavke za zunanjo pomoč Evropskega razvojnega sklada; meni, da je povečevanje proračuna strukturno vprašanje; poudarja, da je treba pripraviti realističen proračun, ki bo proračunska sredstva za naravne nesreče ali humanitarne dejavnosti dodeljeval na podlagi izkušenj s porabo iz prejšnjih let;
Draws attention to the frequent topping up of DG ECHO's budget, either through the use of the Emergency Aid Reserve or through transfers from other budget lines from the external aid heading of the EDF; considers budget top-ups to be a structural issue; stresses the necessity to draw up a realistic budget, allocating appropriations for natural disasters or humanitarian actions on the basis of confirmed experience with spending in previous years;
poudarja, da mora Evropska unija okrepiti zmožnost odzivanja na čedalje večje število hudih naravnih nesreč; glede na to opozarja, da Evropski parlament že vrsto let poziva k bolj realističnemu proračunu za humanitarne namene, da bi se izognili nenehnemu nezadostnemu financiranju zadevnih proračunskih vrstic in da bi lahko povečali finančni manevrski prostor skozi celotno proračunsko leto, hkrati pa ohranili potrebno ravnovesje med financiranjem ukrepov za preprečevanje humanitarnih nesreč in ukrepov za hiter odziv na izredne razmere, tako naravne kot tiste, ki jih povzroči človek;
Stresses the fact that the European Union must strengthen its reaction capacity, given the growing number of major natural disasters; recalls, with this in mind, that Parliament has for many years been calling for a more realistic humanitarian budget in the interests of remedying the chronic underfunding of the relevant budget lines, making it possible to provide some financial leeway throughout the financial year, and maintaining a coherent balance between the financing of measures to prevent humanitarian disasters and of measures to ensure rapid responses to natural and man-made disasters;
pozdravlja nedavno sporočilo Komisije o večletnem finančnem okviru 2014–2020, ki predvideva povečanje proračuna za instrument za humanitarno pomoč za 6,4 milijarde EUR za to obdobje (torej letno povprečje znaša 915 milijonov EUR v primerjavi z 813 milijoni EUR za obdobje 2007–2013); prav tako z zadovoljstvom ugotavlja, da se je v istem obdobju rezerva za nujno pomoč povečala na 2,5 milijarde EUR, pozdravlja predlog, da se neporabljena sredstva v rezervi prenesejo v naslednje leto, in poziva Komisijo, naj ta sredstva nameni predvsem za nujne humanitarne potrebe;
Welcomes the recent Commission communication on the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework, which provides for an increase in the humanitarian aid instrument budget of EUR 6.4 billion over this period (i.e. an annual average of EUR 915 million, as against EUR 813 million in 2007-2013); also notes with satisfaction the increase in the Emergency Aid Reserve for the same period, bringing it up to EUR 2.5 billion, as well as the proposal for unspent funds in the reserve to be carried over to the following year, and asks the Commission to ensure that these funds continue to be earmarked principally for urgent humanitarian needs;
zahteva, da proračun EU podpre ukrepe za predvidevanje nesreč, pripravljenost nanje, njihovo preprečevanje in hiter odziv nanje, kot tudi za omogočanje prožnejšega začetka razvojnih ukrepov za izhod iz kriznih razmer; obžaluje, da je kljub krepitvi političnih zavez v zadnjih letih dejanski napredek na področju povezave med pomočjo v nujnih primerih, obnovo in razvojem še vedno zelo omejen;
Asks for the EU budget to support actions designed to anticipate disasters, prepare for them, avert them and react more quickly to them, as well as measures to ensure greater flexibility in launching development measures as a means of emerging from crisis situations; finds it regrettable that concrete progress on the link between emergency aid, rehabilitation and development remains limited despite the many political commitments made in recent years;
zato poziva, naj se več bolje upravljanih sredstev nameni za zagotavljanje stalnosti pomoči v prehodnem obdobju med izrednimi razmerami in razvojem ter naj se razmišljanje usmeri k večji prožnosti in dopolnjevanju obstoječih finančnih mehanizmov, zlasti v okviru strateških dokumentov držav in regionalnih strateških dokumentov Evropskega razvojnega sklada in instrumenta za razvojno sodelovanje; poziva, naj se v okviru obstoječih finančnih mehanizmov otrokom, nosečnicam in materam majhnih otrok prednostno nameni posebna pozornost v zvezi z zagotavljanjem hrane, oblačil, evakuacije in prevoza, pa tudi zdravstvenih storitev, da se preprečijo neželene nosečnosti in spolno prenosljive bolezni;
Calls therefore for more and better-managed resources to be deployed to guarantee continuity of aid in the transition phase between emergency and development, and for thought to be given to achieving greater flexibility and complementarity of the existing financial mechanisms, particularly in the context of EDF and DCI country/regional strategy papers; calls for particular care for children, as well as expectant mothers and mothers of young children, with regard to the provision of food, clothing, evacuation and transportation, and of medical facilities with a view to preventing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, as priority areas under the existing financial mechanisms;
priporoča, da se v tem prehodnem obdobju obnove med pomočjo v nujnih primerih in razvojem pozornost osredotoči predvsem na krepitev zmogljivosti lokalnih institucij in visoko raven vključevanja nevladnih organizacij in lokalnih združenj v faze načrtovanja in izvajanja, da se spodbudi in zgradi temelj za kvalitativne in učinkovite programe človekovega razvoja;
Recommends that the primary focus of this transitional, rehabilitation-oriented phase between emergency aid and development should be capacity-building in local institutions and a high level of involvement of local NGOs and associations in the planning and implementation phases in order to facilitate and build a basis for high-quality and effective human development programmes;
meni, da je prepoznavnost dejavnosti, ki jih financira GD ECHO, zadovoljiva; priznava pomen ukrepov za zagotavljanje prepoznavnosti z vidika odgovornosti in pomoči za zmanjševanje tveganja dvojnega financiranja; poudarja, da ti ne smejo postati sredstvo za oglaševanje blagovnih znamk humanitarnih organizacij in se spremeniti v tekmovanje posameznikov za prepoznavnost na račun izpolnjevanja dejanskih potreb upravičencev;
Considers that there is satisfactory visibility for ECHO-funded actions; recognises the significance of measures to ensure visibility in terms of accountability and helping to reduce the risk of double financing; stresses that this should not become a means of brand promotion for humanitarian agencies and should not result in people competing for visibility at the expense of meeting the real needs of beneficiaries;
meni, da ima vse večja vloga konzorcijev potencialno pozitiven učinek v smislu povečanja humanitarnega odziva in boljšega usklajevanja; poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi jasnejše smernice za zagotavljanje preglednosti in poskrbi , da konzorciji ne bodo negativno vplivali na raznolikost skupnosti nevladnih organizacij, zlasti malih in srednjih;
Considers that the increasingly large role accorded to consortia has a potentially positive effect in terms of scaling up the humanitarian response and improving coordination; calls on the Commission to provide clearer guidance to guarantee transparency and ensure that consortia do not negatively affect the diversity of the NGO community, with particular reference to small and medium-sized organisations;
Potreba po trajnosti, skladnosti in dopolnjevanju
Need for sustainability, coherence and complementarity
poudarja pomen povezovanja pomoči, sanacije in razvoja za krepitev povezav med pomočjo, sanacijo in razvojem ter zagotavljanje gladkega prehoda s humanitarne pomoči na razvojno pomoč; poudarja, da je treba opraviti še veliko dela za izboljšanje usklajevanja, učinkovitosti, uspešnosti in skladnosti povezovanja pomoči, sanacije in razvoja;
Points to the significance of linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD) in order to strengthen the links between relief, recovery and development and to ensure a smooth transition from humanitarian aid to development aid; stresses that there is still much work to be done to improve the coordination, efficiency, effectiveness and consistency of LRRD;
pozdravlja dejstvo, da GD ECHO spodbuja zmanjševanje tveganja naravnih nesreč prek programa DIPECHO ter v okviru humanitarnih dejavnosti;
Welcomes the fact that DG ECHO promotes disaster risk reduction (DRR) through the DIPECHO programme and as an integral part of humanitarian actions;
meni, da sta kulturna prilagodljivost in znanje ključna dejavnika za zagotavljanje uspešne humanitarne pomoči; poudarja na primer, da morajo biti izdelki, ki se pošiljajo v času humanitarnih dejavnosti, za lokalno prebivalstvo primerni in sprejemljivi;
Believes that cultural sensitivity and knowledge is a key factor in delivering effective humanitarian aid; stresses, for example, that the products delivered during humanitarian actions must be suitable and acceptable to the local population;
poziva GD ECHO, naj skrbno preuči morebitne negativne učinke humanitarne pomoči; poudarja, da lahko na primer prevelike količine pomoči v hrani odvrnejo od lokalne pridelave hrane ali negativno vplivajo na lokalne trge ter tako dolgoročno ogrozijo zanesljivo preskrbo s hrano;
Calls on DG ECHO to carefully consider the possible negative effects of humanitarian aid; points out that, for example, a surplus of food aid can discourage local food production and have a negative effect on the local markets, thus endangering food security in the long term;
poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi boljšo skladnost in dopolnjevanje med humanitarno in razvojno pomočjo tako na politični ravni kot tudi v praksi;
Urges the Commission to ensure better coherence and complementarity between humanitarian aid and development aid, both on the policy level and in practice;
