EUROPEAN COMMISSION CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS
PRISPEVKI EVROPSKE KOMISIJE K MEDNARODNIM POGAJANJEM
The EU is a driving-force in the international climate negotiations in pressing for an ambitious and comprehensive global agreement.
EU je gonilna sila v mednarodnih pogajanjih na področju podnebnih sprememb ter si prizadeva za ambiciozen in celovit sporazum na svetovni ravni.
The European Commission has played an important role in shaping EU policy.
Evropska komisija je igrala pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju politike EU.
In 2009 the Commission did so through two major policy papers:
Leta 2009 je Komisija pripravila dva večja dokumenta na področju te politike:
The European Parliament provided strong support for an ambitious and legally binding agreement at the Copenhagen meeting.
Evropski parlament je trdno podprl dosego ambicioznega in pravno zavezujočega dogovora na srečanju v Københavnu.
In October its Environment Committee called on the Heads of State or Government to give climate change top priority and to maintain a leading role in the Copenhagen negotiations.
Oktobra je njegov odbor za okolje pozval voditelje držav in vlad, naj podnebne spremembe zastavijo kot prednostno nalogo in ohranijo vodilno vlogo v københavnskih pogajanjih.
It said the international agreement should ensure that developed countries signicantly reduce their emissions collectively (at the high end of the 25–40 % range and a long-term reduction target of at least 80 % by 2050 compared with 1990), and that developing countries as a group limit their emission growth to 15–39 % below ‘business as usual’.
Po mnenju odbora bi moral mednarodni sporazum zagotoviti, da razvite države skupaj znatno zmanjšajo emisije (v zgornjem delu razpona zmanjšanja 25–40 % in z dolgo- ročnim ciljem vsaj 80 % do leta 2050 v primerjavi z letom 1990) in da države v razvoju skupaj zmanjšajo rast svojih emisij na 15–39 % pod količinami pri scena- riju brez ukrepanja.
A resolution at its November plenary session (31) endorsed these views and urged EU government leaders to demonstrate political leadership to make a success of the summit.
Na novembrskem plenarnem zasedanju (31) so bila ta stališča vključena v resolucijo, s katero so bili voditelji vlad EU pozvani, naj prevzamejo politično vodstvo, da bo na vrhu dosežen uspeh.
4January 2009: Commission communication — Toward a comprehensive climate change agreement in Copenhagen;
4januar 2009: Sporočilo Komisije – Za celovit sporazum o podnebnih spremembah v Københavnu;
4September 2009: Commission communication — Stepping up international climate finance: A European blueprint for the Copenhagen deal.
4september 2009: Sporočilo Komisije – Povečevanje mednarodne finančne podpore za zaščito podnebja: evropski načrt za dogovor v Københavnu.
The EU showed leadership in the proactive stance it took in the run-up to the talks, on the solid basis of its own climate and energy package.
EU je s proaktivnim pristopom v pripravah na pogovore dokazala svojo vodilno vlogo na trdni osnovi lastnega svežnja ukrepov za podnebne spremembe in energijo. Komisija je maja predlagala, da EU predloži amandma h Kjotskemu protokolu.
The Council quickly gave its approval to the idea, and on 10 June the Czech Presidency and the European Commission, on behalf of the EU Member States and of the European Union, jointly submitted the proposed amendment to the UN secretariat responsible for the Copenhagen conference.
Svet se je z idejo hitro strinjal in 10. junija sta češko predsedstvo in Evropska komisija v imenu držav članic EU in Evropske unije skupaj predložila predlagani amandma sekretariatu ZN, pristojnemu za konferenco v Københavnu.
This addressed the treatment of land-use change, improvements to carbon market mechanisms and possible approaches for targeting sectoral emissions.
Amandma je zajemal obravnavo spreminjanja namembnosti zemljišč, izboljšanje mehanizmov trga ogljika in možne pristope k obravnavi sektorskih emisij.
One of the EU’s principal contributions to the Copenhagen talks was its focus on seeking agreement for financing to support developing countries in combating climate change — an issue central to achieving an agreement in Copenhagen.
Eden od glavnih prispevkov EU h københavnskim pogajanjem je bila njena osredotočenost na iskanje sporazuma za financiranje podpore državam v razvoju pri spopadanju s podnebnimi spremembami, kar je odločilno vprašanje za dosego dogovora v Københavnu.
In September, the Commission launched a communication on scaling up international finance to help developing countries combat climate change (32).
Septembra je Komisija objavila Sporočilo o povečevanju mednarodne finančne podpore za pomoč državam v razvoju pri boju proti podnebnim spremembam (32).
It concluded that, by 2020, developing countries are likely to face annual costs of around €100 billion to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
V sporočilu je ugotovljeno, da bodo do leta 2020 države v razvoju verjetno porabile približno 100 milijard EUR letno za blažitev posledic svojih emisij toplogrednih plinov in prilagajanje na vplive podnebnih sprememb.
Much of the finance needed will have to come from domestic sources and an expanded international carbon market, but international public financing of some €22–50 billion a year is also likely to be necessary.
Velik del potrebnih finančnih sredstev bo moral izhajati iz nacionalnih virov in razširjenega mednarodnega trga ogljika, vendar bo verjetno potrebno tudi mednarodno javno financiranje v višini približno 22–50 milijard EUR letno.
The Commission proposed that industrialised nations and economically more advanced developing countries should provide this public financing in line with their responsibility for emissions and ability to pay.
Komisija je predlagala, da industrijske države in gospodarsko naprednejše države v razvoju omogočijo to javno financiranje v skladu s svojo odgovornostjo za emisije in plačilno sposobnostjo.
This could mean an EU contribution of some €2–15 billion a year by 2020.
Za EU to lahko do leta 2020 pomeni prispevek v višini 2–15 milijard EUR letno.
Meanwhile, representatives of the EU institutions reached out to other partners.
Medtem so predstavniki institucij EU stopili v stik tudi z drugimi partnerji.
The Commission and the Czech and Swedish Presidencies dedicated much time and effort to bilateral dialogues on climate change with key partner countries, including Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the USA, India, Brazil and South Africa.
Komisija je skupaj s češkim in švedskim predsedstvom posvetila veliko časa in napora dvostranskim pogovorom o podnebnih spremembah s ključnimi partnerskimi državami, kot so Kanada, Kitajska, Japonska, Južna Koreja, Rusija, ZDA, Indija, Brazilija in Južna Afrika.
A delegation of the European Parliament’s Environment Committee travelled to Washington in late October to meet and discuss the Copenhagen conference with members of the US Congress, and the European Parliament sent official representatives to the UN Climate Change Conference in December.
Delegacija Odbora za okolje Evropskega parlamenta je konec oktobra odpotovala v Washington, kjer se je srečala s člani ameriškega kongresa in z njimi razpravljala o københavnski konferenci, Evropski parlament pa je decembra na konferenco ZN o podnebnih spremembah poslal uradne predstavnike.
The year was punctuated by five high-level preparatory meetings for the Copenhagen conference, and the EU was an active participant in all of them, consistently calling on developed nations to commit to significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
To leto je zaznamovalo pet pripravljalnih sestankov na københavnsko konferenco na najvišji ravni in EU je na vseh aktivno sodelovala ter stalno pozivala razvite države, naj se zavežejo k znatnemu zmanjšanju emisij toplogrednih plinov.
CLIMATE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
PODNEBJE ZA PRIHODNJE GENERACIJE
Speaking ahead of the October European Council, Jerzy Buzek, President of the European Parliament, said: ‘In Copenhagen, in December, we will need to find an agreement which will not only fit the EU but the entire world.
Pred začetkom oktobrskega Evropskega sveta je predsednik Evropskega parlamenta Jerzy Buzek dejal:„Decembra bomo morali v Københavnu doseči sporazum, ki bo ustrezal ne le EU, temveč vsemu svetu.
Decisions taken there will influence generations to come’.
Tam sprejete odločitve bodo vplivale na prihodnje generacije.“
When, just weeks before the Copenhagen meeting, both the USA and China made new offers, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso welcomed the bids in a joint statement.‘We welcome the news — in just the last 24 hours — that the USA and China have both indicated what they are prepared to do, in concrete numbers, on mitigation.
Ko so ZDA in Kitajska le nekaj tednov pred srečanjem v Københavnu razglasile novi ponudbi, sta švedski predsednik vlade Fredrik Reinfeldt in predsednik Evropske komisije José Manuel Barroso v skupni izjavi pozdravila ti ponudbi. „Pozdravljava novico, da so ZDA in Kitajska v zadnjih 24 urah s konkretnimi podatki razglasile, kaj so pripravljene storiti za ublažitev.
The USA and China are essential players in this negotiation.
ZDA in Kitajska igrajo ključno vlogo v teh pogajanjih. Ne smemo dopustiti, da bi København propa- del [...]
In addition to their earlier commitments, European leaders agreed at their December summit to provide €2.4 billion per year between 2010 and 2012 in fast-start funding, to kick-start climate adaptation measures in developing countries.
Poleg predhodnih zavez so se evropski voditelji na decembrskem vrhu dogovorili, da bodo med letoma 2010 in 2012 zagotovili 2,4 milijarde EUR letno za financiranje hitrega zagona, da se pospeši izvajanje ukrepov za prilagajanje na podnebne spremembe v državah v razvoju.
This exceeded the initial commitments made by Member States earlier in the year.
To je preseglo prvotne zaveze, ki so jih države članice sprejele ob prejšnjih priložnostih istega leta.
A LIMITED AGREEMENT
OMEJEN SPORAZUM
The Council Presidency and the European Commission worked energetically to step up the negotiations throughout the two weeks of the Copenhagen meeting, maintaining the EU commitments and urging the parties to the talks to strengthen their commitments.
Predsedstvo Sveta in Evropska komisija sta si energično prizadevala za okrepitev pogajanj v dveh tednih po københavnski konferenci, tako da sta ohranjala zaveze EU in udeleženke spodbujala, naj se pogajajo za krepitev svojih zavez.
But the progress achieved — in the form of the non-binding accord — was less than what had been hoped for by the EU.
Kljub temu je bil napredek, dosežen v obliki nezavezujočega dogovora, manjši od tistega, ki bi si ga želela EU.
4the commitment to list developed country emission reduction targets and mitigation action by developing countries for 2020;
4zaveza, da se pripravi seznam ciljev za leto 2020 za zmanjšanje emisij iz razvitih držav in ukrepe za ublažitev v državah v razvoju;
4€20.685 billion ’fast-start’ funding for immediate action from industrialised countries until 2012, for adaptation, emissions reductions, research and capacity building in developing countries, including funding to prevent deforestation;
420,685 milijarde EUR za financiranje „hitrega zagona“, da industrijske države nemudoma sprejmejo ukrepe za prilagajanje, zmanjšanje emisij, raziskave in gradnjo infrastrukture v državah v razvoju do leta 2012, vključno s financira- njem za preprečevanje krčenja gozdov;
4€68.95 billion annually by 2020 in long-term financing, as well as mechanisms to support technology transfer and forestry.
468,95 milijarde EUR letno do leta 2020 v obliki dolgoročnega financiranja ter mehanizmov za podporo prenosa tehnologij in gozdarstva.
Attached to the agreement is an annex, where countries or groups of countries can fill in their commitments on emissions reductions or climate change action.
Sporazumu je dodana priloga, v katero lahko države ali skupine držav vključijo svoje zaveze za zmanjšanje emisij ali ukrepe na področju podnebnih sprememb.
But the agreement is not legally binding.
Vendar sporazum ni pravno zavezujoč.
The agreement was not suciently ambitious for the EU to change its emissions target to a 30 % reduction by 2020.
Njegova ambicioznost ni bila zadostna, da bi EU spremenila svoj cilj zmanjšanja emisij na 30 % do leta 2020.
‘What we wanted to achieve when we came here to Copenhagen was to get us out of the deadlock.
„V København smo prišli z namenom, da dosežemo premik z mrtve točke.
Either we do something or we land in nothing.
Nekaj moramo storiti, sicer bomo končali praznih rok.
And now we have seen countries make eorts and set goals.
Zdaj smo videli, kako se države trudijo in si zastavljajo cilje.
Even countries that said they wouldn’t make any commitments have presented gures,’ said Council President Fredrik Reinfeldt.
Celo države, ki so rekle, da ne bodo sprejemale zavez, so prišle na dan s številkami,“ je dejal predsednik Sveta Fredrik Reinfeldt.
President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso said: ‘This agreement is better than none at all, but it is clearly below our objective.
Predsednik Evropske komisije José Manuel Barroso je izjavil: „Ta sporazum je boljši kot nič, vendar nikakor ne dosega naših ciljev.
I am not going to hide my disappointment’. But, he added,‘it is the first step in a very important process.’
Ne bom skrival razočaranja.“ Dodal je, da gre kljub temu za„prvi korak v zelo pomembnem procesu.“
Further international steps were left to the UN conferences in Bonn and Mexico in 2010.
Nadaljnji mednarodni ukrepi se bodo sprejemali na konferencah ZN v Bonnu in Ciudádu de Méxicu leta 2010.
But the European Union’s commitments made during the year remain valid and will be delivered.
Kljub temu so zaveze, ki jih je Evropska unija sprejela med letom, še naprej veljavne in bodo izpolnjene.
They are binding for all European Union Member States.
Zavezujoče so za vse države članice Evropske unije.

The EU is a relatively new player on the world stage. But it has big economic power.
Evropska unija je razmeroma nov igralec na svetovnem prizorišču, vendar ima veliko gospodarsko moč.
It is the world’s largest market and biggest exporter of manufactured goods and services and the biggest source of investment.
Je največji svetovni trg in največja svetovna izvoznica industrijskih izdelkov in storitev ter največji vir naložb na svetu.
It has global trade links, and it is a leading aid donor.
Po vsem svetu ima trgovinske povezave in je vodilna donatorka pomoči.
Its strength also derives from the cumulative political and cultural influence of its 27 Member States.
Njena moč izhaja tudi iz združenega političnega in kulturnega vpliva 27 držav članic.
Its own evolution is assisting the EU to attain greater coherence in external relations, and increasingly it is playing a role beyond the traditional areas of trade and aid.
Njen lastni razvoj prispeva k bolj usklajenemu delovanju na področju zunanjih odnosov in EU vedno bolj prevzema vlogo, ki presega tradicionalni področji trgovine in pomoči.
The size and significance of its own internal market means that what the EU does at home today often has an impact around the world tomorrow, on issues as distinct as energy security and setting safety standards for toys.
Zaradi obsega in pomena njenega notranjega trga imajo ukrepi EU doma pogosto kmalu vpliv po svetu, in sicer na tako različnih področjih, kot sta zanesljivost oskrbe z energijo in določanje varnostnih standardov za igrače.
The world tends to listen when the EU speaks, as evidenced by its influence on international negotiations on combating climate change and planning recovery from the economic and financial crisis.
Ko Evropska unija govori, svet ponavadi prisluhne, na kar kažeta njen vpliv na mednarodnih pogajanjih o boju proti podnebnim spremembam ter pri načrtovanju izhoda iz gospodarske in finančne krize.
Increasingly, the EU’s external relations are not a separate area of EU activity, but rather a geographically wider application of its central values and principles.
Zunanji odnosi EU so vedno manj ločeno področje delovanja Unije in postajajo dejansko geografsko razširjena uporaba njenih osrednjih vrednot in načel.
This is seen clearly in its enlargement policy, where the EU engages with eligible neighbouring states in negotiations on how and when they will adopt the entire body of EU rules and practices.
To se jasno vidi pri njeni širitveni politiki, v okviru katere se Evropska unija pogaja s sosednjimi državami, ki za to izpolnjujejo pogoje, o tem, kako in kdaj bodo sprejele celoten sklop evropskih pravil in praks.
But the same underlying process is visible too in the wider circles of EU external relations — with the countries in its broader neighbourhood, in its trade and diplomatic relations around the world, and in its assistance to developing countries.
Vendar je mogoče isti temeljni proces opaziti tudi v bolj oddaljenih krogih zunanjih odnosov EU – z državami iz širše okolice, v njenih trgovinskih in diplomatskih odnosih po svetu ter pri njeni pomoči državam v razvoju.
The EU has been enlarging since it came into existence, and the process is not yet over.
Evropska unija se širi, odkar obstaja, in procesa širitve še ni konec.
During 2009, accession negotiations continued, chapter by chapter, with Croatia and Turkey, and closer links were developed with other potential new members.
Leta 2009 je tako Unija poglavje za poglavjem nadaljevala pristopna pogajanja s Hrvaško in Turčijo ter tkala tesnejše vezi z drugimi morebitnimi novimi članicami.
Countries wishing to join the EU undertook reforms and deepened their ties with the EU.
Države, ki se želijo pridružiti EU, so se lotile reform in poglobile vezi z Unijo.
Trade and cultural exchanges expanded, advances were made in peace, stability, democracy and the rule of law, and, in most areas, their citizens experienced increased prosperity and wellbeing as the EU continued its support through technical and financial assistance programmes.
Povečale so se trgovinske in kulturne izmenjave, dosežen je bil napredek miru, stabilnosti, demokracije in pravne države, poleg tega pa je na večini področij nadaljevanje evropske podpore s programi tehnične in finančne pomoči prispevalo k večji blaginji in boljšemu počutju državljanov teh držav.
The year 2009 also marked the fifth anniversary of the biggest enlargement in the history of the EU, when 10 new Member States — mostly from central and eastern Europe — entered the Union.
Leto 2009 je zaznamovala tudi peta obletnica največje širitve v zgodovini EU, ko je v Unijo vstopilo deset novih držav članic, večinoma iz srednje in vzhodne Evrope.
In late November, the European Parliament adopted a resolution (1) expressing its strong commitment to the EU’s enlargement policy.
Konec novembra je Evropski parlament sprejel resolucijo (1), v kateri je izrazil močno zavezanost evropski širitveni politiki.
CANDIDATE COUNTRIES
DRŽAVE KANDIDATKE
The three current candidate countries, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey, all made some progress during the year in their bids to become EU Member States.
Vse tri trenutne države kandidatke, Hrvaška, Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija in Turčija, so med letom napredovale v svojih prizadevanjih za članstvo v EU.
‘We can all chalk up the 2004 enlargement as a major political success.
„Širitev leta 2004 lahko vsi štejemo za pomemben političen uspeh.
The population of the European Union suddenly increased by 120 million people.
Prebivalstvo Evropske unije se je naenkrat povečalo za 120 milijonov ljudi.
More importantly, this was the first time it had admitted countries with a rather different history, thus demonstrating the viability of its mission of integration.
Še pomembneje je, da je Unija takrat prvič sprejela države s precej drugačno zgodovino, s čimer je pokazala, da je njen cilj povezovanja uresničljiv.
This step, or rather leap, effectively meant that the EU was poised for a global role in the world.’
Odločila se je, in to pravilno, za upanje namesto za strah.
