Articles 177 EC to 181 EC, which deal with cooperation with developing countries, refer not only to the sustainable economic and social development of those countries, their smooth and gradual integration into the world economy and the campaign against poverty, but also to the development and consolidation of democracy and the rule of law, as well as to respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, in compliance also with commitments in the context of the United Nations and other international organisations (C-403/05 Parliament v Commission [2007] ECR I-9045, paragraph 56).
Členi od 177 ES do 181 ES, ki se nana�ajo na sodelovanje z državami v razvoju, namreč zadevajo trajnostni gospodarski in socialni razvoj teh držav, skladno in postopno vključevanje v svetovno gospodarstvo in boj proti rev�čini, in tudi razvoj in krepitev demokracije in pravne države ter spo�tovanje človekovih pravic in temeljnih svobo�čin ob upo�tevanju zavez, sprejetih v okviru OZN in drugih mednarodnih organizacij (sodba z dne 23. oktobra 2007 v zadevi Parlament proti Komisiji, C-403/05, ZOdl., str. I-9045, točka 56).
In addition, it follows from the Joint Statement by the Council and the representatives of the governments of the Member States meeting within the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission on European Union Development Policy, entitled ‘The European Consensus [on Development]’ (OJ 2006 C 46, p.
Poleg tega iz Skupne izjave Sveta in predstavnikov vlad držav članic v okviru Sveta ter Evropskega parlamenta in Komisije o razvojni politiki Evropske unije „Evropsko soglasje [za razvoj]“ (UL 2006, C 46, str.
1) that there can be no sustainable development and eradication of poverty without peace and security and that the pursuit of the objectives of the Community’s new development policy necessarily proceed via the promotion of democracy and respect for human rights (C-403/05 Parliament v Commission, paragraph 57).
1) izhaja, da do trajnostnega razvoja in izkoreninjenja rev�čine ne more priti brez miru in varnosti ter da je sledenje ciljem nove razvojne politike Skupnosti mogoče le s pospe�evanjem demokracije in spo�tovanjem človekovih pravic (zgoraj navedena sodba Parlament proti Komisiji, točka 57).
While the objectives of current Community development cooperation policy should therefore not be limited to measures directly related to the campaign against poverty, it is none the less necessary, if a measure is to fall within that policy, that it contributes to the pursuit of that policy’s economic and social development objectives (see, to that effect, Case C-268/94 Portugal v Council, paragraphs 44, 60, 63 and 73).
Čeprav ciljev sedanje politike Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja ni treba omejiti na ukrepe, ki se neposredno nana�ajo na boj proti rev�čini, mora ukrep, da ga je mogoče uvrstiti v okvir te politike, vendarle prispevati k zasledovanju ciljev gospodarskega in socialnega razvoja navedene politike (glej v tem smislu zgoraj navedeno sodbo Portugalska proti Svetu, točke 44, 60, 63 in 73).
For example, on 21 May 1999, the ‘development’ Council of the European Union adopted a resolution on small arms in which it presented the proliferation of those weapons as a problem of global proportions which, in particular in crisis zones and countries where the security situation is unstable, has been an obstacle to peaceful economic and social development.
Zato je Svet „Razvoj“ Evropske unije 21. maja 1999 sprejel resolucijo o lahkem orožju, v kateri je �irjenje navedenega orožja predstavil kot težavo svetovne razsežnosti, ki zlasti v državah in na kriznih območjih, ki so z vidika varnosti v nestabilnem položaju, ovira miren gospodarski in socialni razvoj.
More recently, in the European Union strategy to combat illicit accumulation and trafficking of small arms and light weapons adopted by the European Council on 15 and 16 December 2005 (Council document No 5319/06 PESC 31 of 13 January 2006), the European Council referred, among the consequences of the illicit spread of small arms and light weapons, in particular to those relating to the development of the countries concerned, that is, the weakening of State structures, displacement of persons, collapse of health and education services, declining economic activity, reduced government resources, the spread of pandemics, damage to the social fabric and, in the long term, the reduction or withholding of development aid, while adding that those consequences constitute, for sub-Saharan Africa, the region principally affected, a key factor in limiting development.
Nedavno je Evropski svet v Strategiji Evropske unije o dejavnosti proti kopičenju in nezakoniti trgovini z lahkim orožjem in orožjem malega kalibra, s pripadajočim strelivom, ki je bila sprejeta na Evropskem svetu, ki je potekal 15. in 16. decembra 2005 (dokument �t. 5319/06 SZVP 31 z dne 13. januarja 2006), med posledicami nezakonitega �irjenja lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra, zlasti tistimi v zvezi z razvojem zadevnih držav, navedel: slabitev državnih struktur, preseljevanje oseb, zru�itev zdravstvenega in �olskega sistema, propadanje gospodarske dejavnosti, zmanj�anje vladnih sredstev, �irjenje pandemij, o�kodovanje socialnovarstvenega sistema in, nazadnje, zmanj�anje ali odvzem razvojne pomoči, pri čemer je treba dodati, da te posledice pomenijo za podsaharsko Afriko, ki je najbolj prizadeta, glavni dejavnik pri zaviranju razvoja.
Equally, the Joint Statement by the Council and the representatives of the governments of the Member States meeting within the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission on European Union development policy, mentioned in paragraph 66 of the present judgment, refers, in paragraph 37, to insecurity and violent conflict as amongst the biggest obstacles to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, agreed by the United Nations, while mentioning, in that context, the fight against the uncontrolled proliferation of small arms and light weapons.
Poleg tega so v točki 37 Skupne izjave Sveta in predstavnikov vlad držav članic v okviru Sveta ter Evropskega parlamenta in Komisije o razvojni politiki Evropske unije – omenjeni v točki 66 te sodbe – negotovost in nasilni konflikti navedeni kot največje ovire pri doseganju razvojnih ciljev tisočletja, dogovorjenih v okviru Združenih narodov, pri tem pa je v tem okviru omenjen boj proti nenadzorovanemu �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra.
Nevertheless, a concrete measure aiming to combat the proliferation of small arms and light weapons may be adopted by the Community under its development cooperation policy only if that measure, by virtue both of its aim and its content, falls within the scope of the competences conferred by the EC Treaty on the Community in that field.
Vendar ostaja dejstvo, da lahko Skupnost sprejme konkretni ukrep proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra v okviru svoje politike razvojnega sodelovanja, le če ta ukrep po svojem namenu in svoji vsebini spada v pristojnosti, ki jih Skupnosti na tem področju daje Pogodba ES.
That is not the case if such a measure, even if it contributes to the economic and social development of the developing country, has as its main purpose the implementation of the CFSP.
To ne velja, kadar je glavni namen ukrepa uresničitev SZVP, čeprav prispeva k gospodarskemu in socialnemu razvoju držav v razvoju.
It follows that measures combating the proliferation of small arms and light weapons do not fall within the competences conferred on the Community in the field of development cooperation policy if, on account of their main aim or component, they are part of the pursuit of the CFSP.
Iz tega izhaja, da ukrepi dejavnosti proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra ne spadajo v pristojnosti Skupnosti na področju politike razvojnega sodelovanja, če je njihov glavni namen ali glavni sestavni del uresničevanje SZVP.
With regard to a measure which simultaneously pursues a number of objectives or which has several components, without one being incidental to the other, the Court has held, where various legal bases of the EC Treaty are therefore applicable, that such a measure will have to be founded, exceptionally, on the various corresponding legal bases (see, to that effect, Case C-211/03 Commission v Council, paragraph 40, and Case C-94/03 Commission v Council, paragraph 36).
Sodi�če je glede ukrepa, ki hkrati zasleduje več ciljev ali ima več sestavnih delov, ne da bi bil en v primerjavi z drugim le stranski, razsodilo, da mora tak ukrep, če je mogoče uporabiti različne pravne podlage Pogodbe ES, izjemoma temeljiti na različnih ustreznih pravnih podlagah (glej v tem smislu zgoraj navedeni sodbi z dne 11. septembra 2003 Komisija proti Svetu, točka 40, in z dne 10. januarja 2006, Komisija proti Svetu, točka 36).
In the light of the foregoing it must be established whether, as the Commission claims, the contested decision, which implements the contested joint action with a view to a European Union contribution to ECOWAS in the framework of the Mora-
Glede na te ugotovitve je treba ugotoviti, ali izpodbijani sklep, ki uresničuje sporni skupni ukrep za prispevek Unije k ECOWAS-u v okviru moratorija na lahko orožje
COMMISSION v COUNCIL torium on Small Arms and Light Weapons, falls, by virtue both of its aim and its content, within the policy on development cooperation conferred by the EC Treaty on the Community.
KOMISIJA PROTI SVETU in orožje malega kalibra, glede na svoj namen in svojo vsebino spada na področje politike razvojnega sodelovanja, ki je na podlagi Pogodbe ES v pristojnosti Skupnosti, kot trdi Komisija.
Aim of the contested decision
Namen izpodbijanega sklepa
With regard to the aim of the contested decision, it follows both from its title, from the legal basis relied upon and from recitals 2 to 4 in its preamble that, by making a financial and technical contribution to an ECOWAS initiative concerning the fight against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, the decision aims to implement the contested joint action which the Council adopted on the basis of Title V of the EU Treaty.
Glede namena izpodbijanega sklepa iz njegovega naslova in podlage ter uvodnih izjav od 2 do 4 izhaja, da je ta sklep s finančnim in tehničnim prispevkom k iniciativi ECOWAS-a na področju dejavnosti proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra namenjen uresničevanju spornega skupnega ukrepa, ki ga je Svet sprejel na podlagi naslova V Pogodbe EU.
To the extent that the contested decision implements a measure falling within the CFSP, it is necessary at the outset to examine whether, because of that fact, the decision must be understood as aiming to achieve the objectives of the CFSP rather than those of Community development cooperation policy.
Kolikor izpodbijani sklep pomeni uresničenje akta, ki spada na področje SZVP, je treba najprej preučiti, ali je zato ta sklep treba razumeti tako, da sku�a doseči cilje SZVP, ne pa ciljev politike Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja.
In that regard, and without it being necessary, at this stage, to examine the Commission’s plea as to the alleged illegality of the contested joint action, it should be pointed out that the joint action is presented, in its preamble, as a measure intended to replace Joint Action 1999/34, in order to include, where appropriate, ammunition for small arms and light weapons in the Union joint action.
V zvezi s tem je treba, ne da bi bilo v tej fazi treba preučiti ugovor Komisije o domnevni nezakonitosti spornega skupnega ukrepa, poudariti, da je ta v njegovih uvodnih izjavah predstavljen kot ukrep, namenjen nadomestitvi skupnega ukrepa 1999/34, da bi v skupni ukrep Unije vključil strelivo za lahko orožje in orožje malega kalibra, kjer je to potrebno.
Article 1(1) of the contested joint action sets out as objectives the combating of the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms, the contribution to the
Kot izhaja iz člena 1(1) spornega skupnega ukrepa so njegovi cilji boj proti destabilizirajočemu kopičenju in �irjenju orožja malega kalibra in pomoč pri prenehanju
2008 — CASE C-91/05 reduction of existing accumulations of these weapons and their ammunition to levels consistent with countries’ legitimate security needs and assistance in solving the problems caused by such accumulations.
2008 – ZADEVA C-91/05 te dejavnosti, pomoč pri zmanj�evanju obstoječih zalog tega orožja in pripadajočega streliva na raven, ki je v skladu z legitimnimi varnostnimi potrebami držav, in pomoč pri re�evanju problemov, ki jih povzroča kopičenje tega orožja.
Concrete expression is given to these objectives, first, in Title I of the contested joint action, which lists certain principles and measures around which the Union is aiming to build a consensus in order to combat the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons and, second, in Title II of the joint action, which deals with the financial and technical assistance provided by the Union to projects which contribute to those principles and measures.
Ti cilji se uresničujejo, na eni strani, na podlagi naslova I skupnega spornega ukrepa, ki na�teva nekatera načela in nekatere ukrepe, za katere si Unija prizadeva doseči soglasje za boj proti destabilizirajočemu kopičenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra, in, na drugi strani, na podlagi naslova II tega skupnega ukrepa, ki obravnava finančno in tehnično pomoč Unije za projekte, ki prispevajo k uporabi navedenih načel in navedenih ukrepov.
However, it cannot be inferred from the contested joint action that the implementation of the campaign against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons which it sets out will necessarily take the form of measures which pursue CFSP objectives, such as the preservation of peace and the strengthening of international security, rather than objectives of Community development policy.
Vendar iz spornega skupnega ukrepa ne izhaja, da uresničevanje programa dejavnosti proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra, ki ga ta ukrep vključuje, nujno pomeni ukrep, ki zasleduje cilje SZVP, kot sta ohranitev miru in krepitev mednarodne varnosti, ne pa ciljev politike Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja.
In that regard, it should be observed, first, that Joint Action 1999/34, of which the contested joint action is the successor and whose objectives, principles listed and type of contribution envisaged are fully reproduced by it, stated clearly, in the first recital to its preamble, that the excessive and uncontrolled accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons poses a threat to peace and security and reduces the prospects for sustainable development in many regions of the world, thereby from the outset placing the fight against that phenomenon within a dual perspective, that is preservation of peace and international security, on the one hand, and safeguarding development perspectives, on the other.
V zvezi s tem je treba najprej poudariti, da je skupni ukrep 1999/34 – ki ga je nadomestil sporni skupni ukrep in je v celoti povzel njegove cilje, na�teta načela in vrsto načrtovanega prispevka – v prvi uvodni izjavi jasno določal, da je pojav pretiranega in nenadzorovanega kopičenja in �irjenja lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra nevarnost za mir in varnost ter da slabi prihodnost trajnostnega razvoja v �tevilnih svetovnih regijah, in je tako od začetka predvideval boj zoper ta pojav za ohranitev miru in mednarodne varnosti na eni strani in za�čite razvojnih perspektiv na drugi strani.
Second, it follows from the provisions of Title II of the contested joint action — which, while reproducing the provisions of Joint Action 1999/34, specify the nature of the contribution the Union will make and how its tasks will be divided between the Council and the Commission — that the objectives and the programme of action laid down by it can be implemented not only by the Union, acting within the CFSP context, but equally by the Community, on the basis of its own competences.
Dalje, iz določb naslova II spornega skupnega ukrepa, ki s povzemanjem določbe skupnega ukrepa 1999/34 določajo vrsto prispevanja Unije in razdelitev nalog, ki so v tem okviru naložene Svetu in Komisiji, izhaja, da bi lahko cilje in akcijski program, določene s tem skupnim ukrepom, uresničila ne samo Unija, ki bi delovala v okviru SZVP, ampak tudi Skupnost na podlagi svojih pristojnosti.
Indeed, Article 7 of the contested joint action points out that it is for the Council to decide on the allocation of the financial and technical assistance referred to in Article 6 of the joint action, but explains, in Article 7(2), that the Council is to decide ‘without prejudice to … operation of the Community’, on a case-by-case basis, on the principle, arrangements and financing of the projects implementing the joint action.
V členu 7 spornega skupnega ukrepa je namreč določeno, da Svet odloča o dodeljevanju finančne in tehnične pomoči, navedene v členu 6 tega skupnega ukrepa, v odstavku 2 navedenega člena 7 pa je določeno, da Svet „brez poseganja v […] delovanje Skupnosti“ za vsak primer posebej odloča o temeljnem načelu, načinih in financiranju projektov, ki uresničujejo naveden skupni ukrep.
The fact that the contested joint action can be implemented both by the Community and the Union is confirmed in Article 8 thereof, in which the Council notes that the Commission intends to direct its action towards achieving the objectives and the priorities of the joint action, where appropriate by pertinent Community measures, and in Article 9 of the joint action, which places in the hands of the Council and the Commission the responsibility for ensuring the consistency of the Union’s activities in the field of small arms, ‘in particular with regard to its development policies’, and for ensuring implementation of their respective action, each in accordance with its powers.
Dejstvo, da sporni skupni ukrep lahko izvedeta Skupnost in Unija, je potrjeno v njegovem členu 8, v skladu s katerim Svet sprejema v vednost, da ima Komisija namen svoje delovanje usmeriti v doseganje ciljev in prednostnih nalog tega skupnega ukrepa s primernimi ukrepi Skupnosti glede na potrebe, in v členu 9 navedenega spornega ukrepa, ki Svetu in Komisiji pu�ča skrb za zagotavljanje skladnosti dejavnosti Unije na področju orožja malega kalibra, „zlasti glede razvojnih politik“ in izvajanje svojih lastnih zadevnih ukrepov v skladu z njunimi pristojnostmi.
The need for consistency of the Union’s activities in the field of small arms and light weapons is also stated, with an identical reference to ‘development policies [of the Union]’ in Article 4(2) of the contested decision.
Potreba po skladnosti delovanja Unije na področju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra je prav tako z istimi izrazi navedena v „politiki [Unije] na področju razvoja“ v členu 4(2) izpodbijanega sklepa.
The conclusion that the objectives of the contested joint action can be implemented both by the Union, under Title V of the EU Treaty, and by the Community, under its development cooperation policy, corresponds, in the end, to the approach advocated by the Union’s institutions and by the European Council in numerous documents.
Sklep, da cilje spornega skupnega ukrepa lahko uresniči tako Unija v okviru naslova V Pogodbe EU kot Skupnost v okviru svoje politike razvojnega sodelovanja, nazadnje ustreza pristopu, ki ga v veliko dokumentih priporočajo institucije Unije in Evropski svet.
First, the Council itself, in the resolution on small arms referred to in paragraph 69 of this judgment, while alluding to the action undertaken by the Union in the CFSP framework and recalling the need to ensure coherence of Union activities in the field of small arms, inter alia in relation to the CFSP, nevertheless recommends, in the same document, that, in the field of development cooperation, the Community and the Member States devote particular attention to the following measures: ‘inclusion of the small arms issue in the political dialogue with ACP and other development cooperation partner countries of the Union; development cooperation support for countries seeking assistance in the control or elimination of surplus small arms …; considering support, where necessary, to strengthen appropriate government institutions and legislation to better control small arms’, while adding, concerning the last point, that ‘[t]he first interventions could be focused on Southern … and on West Africa (ECOWAS), where significant progress has been made and frameworks for combating small arms proliferation have been developed and agreed’.
Prvič, Svet je v resoluciji o lahkem orožju, navedeni v točki 69 te sodbe, s sklicevanjem na delovanje Unije v okviru SZVP in opozorilom na potrebo po zagotavljanju skladnosti dejavnosti Unije na področju orožja malega kalibra, zlasti glede SZVP v istem dokumentu svetoval, da so Skupnost in države članice v okviru razvojnega sodelovanja posebno pozorne na ukrepe, ki se nana�ajo zlasti na „vključitev vpra�anja glede orožja malega kalibra v politični dialog z državami AKP in drugimi partnericami Unije v okviru razvojnega sodelovanja; da bi v okviru razvojnega sodelovanja zagotovile pomoč državam, ki želijo prejemati pomoč za omejitev ali odpravo presežnih zalog orožja malega kalibra […]; da bi glede na okoli�čine določile podporo za okrepitev vladnih institucij in zadevne zakonodaje glede bolj�ega nadzora nad orožjem malega kalibra“, ter glede tega zadnjega dodal, da „[bi] se prve intervencije lahko nana�ale na Južno Afriko […] in Zahodno Afriko (ECOWAS), kjer je pri�lo do znatnega napredka in je bil začrtan in sprejet okvir za dejavnost proti �irjenju orožja malega kalibra“.
Second, in the European Union strategy to combat illicit accumulation and trafficking of small arms and light weapons, referred to in paragraph 69 of this judgment, the European Council mentions, among the means at the disposal of the Union, the Community and the Member States to react to the threat of the illicit spread of those weapons, in particular, apart from civilian and military instruments for managing crises and other diplomatic tools, partnership and cooperation agreements with third countries and development and assistance programmes which fall within EC-ACP cooperation and include a chapter on small arms and light weapons and their ammunition.
Drugič, Evropski svet v Strategiji Evropske unije o dejavnosti proti kopičenju in nezakoniti trgovini z lahkim orožjem in orožjem malega kalibra, s pripadajočim strelivom, navedeni v točki 69 te sodbe, med sredstvi, ki jih lahko Unija uporabi zoper grožnjo nezakonitega raz�irjanja navedenega orožja, poleg civilnih in voja�kih ukrepov za ureditev kriz in drugih diplomatskih ukrepov navaja zlasti sporazume o partnerstvu in sodelovanju s tretjimi državami ter razvojne programe in programe pomoči, ki se nana�ajo na sodelovanje ES-AKP in vsebujejo del, ki je namenjen lahkemu orožju in orožju malega kalibra ter pripadajočemu strelivu.
Having indicated, in paragraph 15, that, according to the European Council, the challenge for a Union strategy on small arms and light weapons is to respond to that threat and to ensure that its security policy and its development policy are consistent, the document mentions, as the final element of the action plan introduced in order to respond to the accumulation of such weapons, the need to ‘[e]nsure consistency and complementarity between Council decisions in the CFSP framework and actions implemented by the Commission in the field of development aid in order to promote a consistent approach for all [Union] activities in the … area [of small arms and light weapons]’.
Potem ko je v tem dokumentu v točki 15 poudarjeno, da je po mnenju Sveta prispevek Unije k strategiji o lahkem orožju in orožju malega kalibra delovanje proti taki grožnji in zagotavljanje skladnosti med varnostnimi in razvojnimi politikami, je dalje kot zadnji element akcijskega načrta proti kopičenju navedenega orožja navedeno „[z]agotavljanj[e] skladnosti in komplementarnosti sklepov Sveta v okviru SZVP in dejavnosti Komisije na področju razvojne pomoči za spodbujanje skladnega pristopa k vsem dejavnostim [Unije] na področju [lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra]“.
