Two European zoos in Hungary and Serbia co-operate to enhance education and environmental protection.
Poleg tega so lahko nekateri lokalni projekti povezani s političnimi vprašanji na nacionalni in evropski ravni.
Most of the programmes are relatively small, land-based programmes owing to the political geography of the region. e (major) exception is the Adriatic programme, which will receive over €200 million up to 2013 and involves eight countries.
izjema je Jadranski program, ki bo do leta 2013 prejel več kot 200 milijonov EUR in vključuje osem držav.
A new, more radical approach to Crossborder Cooperation
Nov, radikalnejši pristop do čezmejnega sodelovanja
By working together in their common border regions, countries can address challenges that transcend political borders.
In nazadnje, treba je upoštevati še eno vrsto koristi, ki se lahko opišejo kot institucionalne koristi za države (možne) kandidatke.
It is difficult to underplay the radical nature of the crossborder component of the IPA.
Težko je podcenjevati radikalno naravo čezmejne komponente instrumenta IPA.
Firstly, the funds for each programme are allocated per programme, not per country. is resolves one of the major disadvantages with EU external border cooperation programmes in the past – the difficulties involved in coordinating different sources of funds inside and outside the Union.
Prvič, sredstva za posamezne programe se dodelijo po programih, ne po državah. To odpravlja eno večjih pomanjkljivosti programov sodelovanja ob zunanji meji EU – težave, ki so se pojavljale pri usklajevanju različnih virov sredstev v Uniji in zunaj nje.
Conclusions e first quarter of 2009 will be a key period for the IPA crossborder programmes.
Prva četrtina leta 2009 bo za čezmejne programe IPA ključno obdobje.
Most of the programmes will hold their official launch events, along with Monitoring Committee meetings, in order to raise the profiles of the programmes in the border regions and begin the process of attracting project submissions.
Za večino programov bodo poleg sestankov komisij za spremljanje organizirani tudi uradni dogodki ob začetku izvajanja, da se poveča ugled programov v obmejnih regijah in začne postopek za privabljanje predložitev projektov.
It will be important to maintain visibility for all the programmes at this crucial stage.
V tej glavni fazi bo za vse programe pomembno, da se ohrani njihova prepoznavnost.
Secondly, the crossborder component is available to all candidate and potential candidate countries – unlike the regional development, human resources and rural development components of IPA, which are only available to candidate countries. is is especially significant because of the high level of interest in crossborder cooperation across the region. e relatively small size of the countries means that significant numbers of their people live in border regions, and this can mean that border issues often feature high on the political agenda.
Drugič, čezmejna komponenta je na voljo vsem državam kandidatkam in možnim kandidatkam – v nasprotju s komponentami instrumenta IPA za regionalni razvoj ter razvoj človeških virov in podeželja, ki so na voljo samo državam kandidatkam.
Excluding them from crossborder cooperation would have been a very negative and counterproductive signal to send out.
To je zlasti pomembno zaradi velikega zanimanja za čezmejno sodelovanje v regiji.
As a result, all the countries concerned will benefit from being part of programmes implemented under a Structural Funds approach even before they become candidate countries for accession to the Union.
Sorazmerna majhnost držav pomeni, da veliko njihovega prebivalstva živi v obmejnih regijah, to pa lahko pomeni, da so obmejna vprašanja pogosto prednostna politična naloga. Njihova izključitev iz čezmejnega sodelovanja bi pomenila zelo negativen znak, ki bi imel ravno nasprotni učinek od želenega.
e IPA crossborder programmes form a strategic dimension within EU pre-accession assistance by providing a learning framework for (potential) candidate countries in their preparations for implementing EU Cohesion Policy.
Zato bodo imele vse zadevne države koristi od sodelovanja v programih, ki se izvajajo v okviru pristopa strukturnih skladov, še preden bodo postale države kandidatke za pristop k Uniji.
In line with the aim of using these programmes to prepare for future Structural Funds implementation, the IPA crossborder programmes will mirror Structural Funds rules as closely as possible. is means firstly that the programmes are run on a multiannual basis. A Monitoring Committee, comprising representatives
V skladu s ciljem uporabiti te programe za pripravo na prihodnje upravljanje strukturnih skladov bodo čezmejni programi IPA čim bolj dosledno izražali pravila strukturnih
The IPA crossborder component thus represents an expansion, both geographically and financially, of EU cooperation policy into south-east Europe. is brings further potential benefits, but also an increased level of responsibility with a need for more ambition and proactive involvement from all actors in the programmes.
Zato pomeni čezmejna komponenta IPA širitev, geografsko in finančno, politike sodelovanja EU v Jugovzhodno Evropo. To prinaša dodatne morebitne koristi in večjo raven odgovornosti s potrebo po prizadevnejšem in proaktivnem vključevanju vseh akterjev v programe.

Building a cleaner future
Ustvarjanje čistejše prihodnosti
As Bulgaria reaches towards its future within the EU, funding under the structural policy for pre-accession is helping one town modernise its environmentally contaminating waste disposal and water systems.
Medtem ko si Bolgarija prizadeva ustvariti svojo prihodnost v EU, se s predpristopnim financiranjem v okviru strukturne politike pomaga enemu od njenih mest posodobiti odlagališče odpadkov, ki onesnažuje okolje, in vodne sisteme.
Panorama travels to Ruse, Bulgaria's largest port on the Danube (pop. 160 000), to look at how over €40.5 million of support from the EU is helping the town comply with standards in water supply and waste treatment and consign dangerous and obsolete infrastructure to the past.
Panorama je odpotovala v Ruse, največje bolgarsko pristanišče ob Donavi (160 000 prebivalcev), da bi preverila, kako se s pomočjo, ki presega 40,5 milijona EUR, mestu pomaga izpolniti standarde za oskrbo z vodo in obdelavo odpadkov ter odstraniti nevarno in zastarelo infrastrukturo.
Waste water from one of the town's outflows being discharged into the Danube in Ruse, Bulgaria.
Odpadna voda iz enega od mestnih odtokov se spušča v Donavo v mestu Ruse v Bolgariji.
Waste water and wasted water – twin problems
Odpadna in izgubljena voda – dvojni problem
When water does flow from the domestic tap, it will have travelled through approximately 447 km of fracturing, crumbling pipes, 64% of which are constructed from asbestos cement.
Voda, ki priteče iz domače pipe, mora potovati po približno 447 km dolgem razpokanem in propadajočem cevovodu, od katerega je 64 odstotkov zgrajenega iz azbestnega cementa.
"Our key problem is that the whole system was built in the 1970s and has not been upgraded since – it is simply worn out," explains Sava Savov – the manager of ViK, the town's regional water company: Water Supply and Sewerage Ltd.
„Naša ključna težava je, da je bil celotni sistem zgrajen v 70. letih prejšnjega stoletja in se od takrat ni nikoli obnovil – je preprosto dotrajan,“ pojasnjuje Sava Savov, direktor mestnega regionalnega vodnogospodarskega podjetja ViK: Oskrba z vodo in kanalizacija Ltd.
e Danube flows past the Bulgarian town of Ruse, bringing with it trade, visitors and cultural exchange – much as it has done since the Romans first settled here.
Donava teče mimo bolgarskega mesta Ruse, s sabo pa prinaša poslovneže, obiskovalce in kulturno izmenjavo – podobno kot v preteklosti, odkar so se tam naselili prvi Rimljani.
When it flows away from Ruse it takes not only barges and cruise ships with it – but also the entire town's untreated sewerage.
Ko zapušča Ruse, s seboj ne vzame samo tovornih in turističnih ladij, temveč tudi vse neobdelane kanalizacijske odplake iz mesta.
From the vantage point of one of the town's outflows, discharging around 240 000 litres a second, 'Blue Danube' seems to be a misnomer.
Z razgledne točke enega od mestnih odtokov, skozi katerega odteče približno 240 000 litrov na sekundo, se zdi poimenovanje „Modra Donava“ napačno.
All this is set to change by the end of 2010, when the results of Bulgaria's most extensive water project take effect. Benefiting from 75 % EU co-financing, (€35.1 million) under the EU's Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-accession (ISPA), Ruse's Integrated Water Project will allow the town to comply with two key EU water directives: those governing urban Waste Water Treatment and Drinking Water.
Vse to naj bi se spremenilo predvidoma do konca leta 2010, ko naj bi se začeli uporabljati rezultati najobsežnejšega bolgarskega vodnega projekta Celostni vodni projekt za mesto Ruse, ki ga v 75 % sofinancira EU (35,1 milijona EUR) na podlagi instrumenta predpristopnih strukturnih politik (ISPA), leta bo omogočil, da bo mesto izpolnilo zahteve iz dveh ključnih vodnih direktiv EU: direktiv, ki urejata čiščenje komunalne odpadne vode in pitno vodo.
It will deliver: new, more efficient pumps; 10 replacement hydrophores ensuring constant supply to the town's high-rise buildings;
Zagotovil bo: nove, učinkovitejše črpalke, deset nadomestnih hidroforjev, ki bodo zagotavljali stalno oskrbo z vodo mestnim
While untreated municipal and industrial sewerage gathers in collectors to be poured directly out into the river, 45% of the town's clean water flows out of the town’s mains due to leaks in the obsolete pipes – making water supplies unreliable, expensive and dangerous, due to the risk of microbiological contamination.
Medtem ko se neobdelane komunalne in industrijske odplake zbirajo v zbiralnikih in nato spustijo neposredno v reko, 45 odstotkov čiste vode izteče iz mestnega vodovodnega omrežja zaradi puščanja zastarelih cevovodov, zaradi česar je oskrba z vodo nezanesljiva, draga in nevarna zaradi nevarnosti mikrobiološke onesnaženosti.

Turning waste into power
Spreminjanje odpadkov v energijo
Now manager of ViK, five years ago Savov was the head of a technical unit trying to keep the town's failing sewerage system going: "I remember we had a blockage and I went down into the collector to clear it.
Sedanji direktor podjetja ViK Savov je bil pred petimi leti vodja tehnične enote, ki je vzdrževala propadajoči mestni kanalizacijski sistem: „Spominjam se, da je prišlo do zamašitve, odšel sem v zbiralnik in odpravil zamašek.
It took two days of intensive work to clean it out and I was sick for a week – headaches, stomach ache – the lot. e fumes from the untreated waste water are so toxic", he said, as we watched one of the town's 11 collectors turn the Danube's waters brown as it discharged its contents.
To je zahtevalo dva dni intenzivnega dela, bolan pa sem bil ves teden – glavobol, bolečine v trebuhu, veliko tega. Hlapi iz neobdelane odpadne vode so zelo strupeni,“ je povedal med ogledom enega od enajstih mestnih zbiralnikov, ki z izpusti svoje vsebine Donavo obarva rjavo.
Eight steps separate out the sewerage into treated water and sludge – these include mechanical processes, such as varying levels of filtration and biological treatments involving the balance between aeration, the use of anaerobic micro-organisms and the use of settling tanks.
V osmih fazah se odplake ločijo na očiščeno vodo in blato – to se naredi po mehanskih postopkih, kot so različne stopnje filtriranja in bioloških obdelav, ki vključujejo ravnovesje med prezračevanjem, uporabo anaerobnih mikroorganizmov in uporabo usedalnih bazenov.
Ammonium will have been oxidised to form nitrate which will then be reduced into elementary nitrogen and the phosphorus precipitated out.
Amonij se bo oksidiralo, da bo tvoril nitrat, ki se bo nato zreduciral v elementarni dušik in fosfor v obliki usedline.
By the time the process is complete, carbon, phosphates and nitrates will have been eliminated and clear, processed effluent will flow into the river while the remaining sludge will be collected and subjected to further treatment.
Do konca postopka se bodo ogljik, fosfati in nitrati odstranili, obdelane odplake se bodo spustile v reko, preostalo blato pa se bo zbralo in dodatno obdelalo.
Once air dried and subjected to four phases of anaerobic treatment, the sludge ends up in a digester tank where the resulting methane produced will be collected and stored in a 900 m2 gas holder.
Po sušenju na zraku in štirih fazah anaerobne obdelave se bo blato na koncu zbralo v gnilišču, kjer se bo zbiral nastali metan in shranjeval v 990 m3 velikem plinohramu.
From there it will fuel a biogas power plant and heater offering combined heat and power.
Od tam bo napajal bioplinsko elektrarno in grelnik, ki bosta zagotavljala toploto in električno energijo.
e Integrated Water Project runs from 2005-10, and the funds being invested will turn the waste that is currently degrading the Danube into an alternative power source.
Celostni vodni projekt se bo izvajal v obdobju 2005–2010, vložena sredstva pa bodo spremenila odpadke, ki zdaj onesnažujejo Donavo, v nadomestni vir energije.
is continual flow of untreated domestic and industrial sewerage will cause the town to fall foul of the EU's Directive on Urban Waste Water Treatment, which comes into force in 2010.
Zaradi tega stalnega izpusta neobdelanih komunalnih in industrijskih odplak bo mesto prišlo navzkriž z Direktivo EU o čiščenju komunalnih odpadnih voda, ki bo začela veljati leta 2010.
To address this, one of the key elements of Ruse's Integrated Water Project will be the complete overhaul of the sewerage system.
Za rešitev te težave bo eden ključnih elementov celostnega vodnega projekta za mesto Ruse popolna obnova kanalizacijskega sistema.
Eleven collectors will be rationalised into one central collector which will direct the waste into a state of the art treatment plant, putting an end to a centuries old practice of uncontrolled discharge.
Enajst zbiralnikov se bo zracionaliziralo na en sam osrednji zbiralnik, ki bo odplake usmerjal neposredno v najsodobnejšo čistilno napravo, kar bo končalo stoletja staro prakso nenadzorovanih izpustov.

Further up stream, at the town's water source, the first pumping station already has a new pump up and running.
Naprej po reki navzgor, ob mestnem vodnem viru, na prvem črpališču že deluje nova črpalka.
With a capacity of 500 litres a second and 25 % more energy efficient, the pump is run on 6 000 volts – 75 % of the company's monthly €153 640 electricity bill is spent on supplying Ruse and the 100 000 households that make up the urban conurbation.
Z zmogljivostjo 500 litrov na sekundo in 25 odstotkov večjo energetsko učinkovitostjo črpalka deluje na 6 000 voltov – 75 odstotkov mesečnega računa podjetja za električno energijo, ki znaša 153 640 EUR, se porabi za oskrbo mesta in 100 000 gospodinjstev, ki sestavljajo obmestje.
"No one body could have taken on an operation of this size", said Savov, "what you are seeing here is the result of cooperation between the Ministry of Regional Development who have a directorate handling the ISPA funding process, the three consultancies helping the Municipality manage the project and then there's ViK itself – the water company.
„Tako obsežnega dela ne bi mogel prevzeti noben organ,“ je dejal Savov, „kar vidite tukaj, je rezultat sodelovanja med Ministrstvom za regionalni razvoj, ki ima direktorat za upravljanje financiranja ISPA, tremi podjetji za svetovanje, ki pomagajo občini voditi projekt, ter vodnogospodarskim podjetjem ViK.
Once this is completed, the town will be free of supply problems and the dangers of contamination", he added.
Ko bo projekt končan, mesto ne bo imelo več težav pri oskrbi z vodo in odpravljena bo nevarnost okužbe,“ je še dodal.
It is clear that having witnessed decades of underinvestment and the resulting struggle to hold the whole system together, Savov is personally touched by the developments and the help the town is getting: "You want to know how I feel at seeing all this change, such large-scale investment coming in?
Očitno sta razvoj in pomoč, ki jo dobiva mesto, Savova osebno ganila, saj je desetletja spremljal premajhne naložbe in posledično zelo zahtevno vzdrževanje sistema. „Želite vedeti, kako se počutim, ko vidim vse te spremembe, izvajanje tako obsežne naložbe?
I feel, for the first time, truly European."
Prvič se dejansko počutim kot Evropejec.“
A new mains transmission pipeline will improve the supply of clean water once installed.
Eno dobro zgrajeno odlagališče bo nadomestilo naključno izbrana divja odlagališča
One, well constructed landfill replaces random fly-tips fly-tips
Ko bo zgrajen nov vodovod, se bo izboljšala oskrba s čisto vodo.
While 71% of the financing will go to modernising the sewerage system and building the treatment plant, the rest will be set aside for improving the supply of clean water.
Medtem ko na tem območju prvotno ni bilo odlagališč, ki bi bila v skladu s predpisi ES, zdaj deluje novo odlagališče, ki vključuje Ruse in štiri druge občine iz regije.
Outside the town, work has begun on replacing the 20.5 km of mains pipes leading from the town's water source to its second pumping station – previously two trunk water supply pipelines, one part constructed in the mid 50s and made from asbestos cement and the other made from reinforced concrete built in the late 60s. ese are in very poor condition, a factor worsened by lower water levels caused by leaks and inadequate pumps – the pipes are exposed to more friction when the levels of water inside them are low.
Projekt je v okviru instrumenta ISPA prejel več kot 5,5 milijona EUR, njegov rezultat pa sta zaprtje 18 divjih odlagališč ter posledično izboljšanje upravljanja in nadziranja odpadkov na območju, predvsem: večji delež znova uporabljenih in recikliranih odpadkov, bolj organizirano zbiranje in prevoz odpadkov, okoljsko ozaveščeno odlaganje odpadkov, preprečevanje pronicanja onesnaževal v podtalnico in Donavo ter izboljšano spremljanje.
As the water project gets fully underway, another major infrastructure project is being signed off.
Z zmogljivostjo 2 337 000 m3 in življenjsko dobo 22 let ima čisto vodo.
Where before there were no landfill sites that complied with EC regulations in the area, the new landfill site that covers Ruse and four other municipalities in the region, is now up and running. e project received just over €5.5 million from ISPA and resulted in the closure of 18 tipping sites and subsequent improvement in the management and control of the area’s waste, specifically: improved reuse and recycle ratios; more organised collections and transportation; environmentally aware disposal, preventing the leaching of contaminants into the water table and the Danube, and improved monitoring.
V okolici mesta so se začela dela na nadomestitvi 20,5 km vodovoda, ki poteka od mestnega vodnega vira do njegovega drugega črpališča – prvotno je bil to dvodelni vodovod; prvi del je bil zgrajen sredi 50-ih let prejšnjega stoletja iz azbestnega cementa, drugi pa konec 60-ih iz železobetona. Oba sta v zelo slabem stanju, ki ga še poslabšuje nižji nivo vode zaradi puščanja in neustreznih črpalk – črpalke so ob nizkem nivoju vode v njih izpostavljene večjemu trenju.
Out in the field, the contractor's resident engineer responsible for the construction of the new pipeline is Adam Harazim, who explained that the replacement pipes, double the diameter and made of glass reinforced plastic, need to be handled with respect. "e pipe's fragility increases with its diameter so we excavate for one pipe at a time, and stabilise it immediately with backfill. e pipes’ quality is checked both at the factory, at delivery to the site and then twice after installation. ere are inevitably minor irregularities and design mistakes which are rectified on site”, Harazim said.
odlagališče, ki je od mesta Ruse oddaljeno 3 km, tri oddelke za nenevarne odpadke iz gospodinjstva, ki jim je namenjenih
With a total capacity of 2 337 000 m³ and a lifespan of 22 years, the site, 3 km outside Ruse, has three cells for non-hazardous, domestic waste giving a total capacity of 1 819 726 m³ (and room for the construction of another two).ere are two more for inert waste, typically coming from the construction industry, with a total capacity of 121 955 m³.
1 819 726 m inertne odpadke, za katere je značilno, da izvirajo iz grad- beništva, s skupno zmogljivostjo 121 955 m3.
Two further cells have been especially constructed for the storage of hazardous waste and have a total capacity of 1 500 m³.
Dve dodatna oddelka sta bila zgrajena posebej za shranjevanje nevarnih odpadkov in imata skupno zmogljivost 1 500 m3.
e contract was awarded at the end of 2007 and 5 km out of 20 have already been laid. "e pipes are of differing lengths and each stretch is computer modelled to make sure the fit is perfect", explained Mr Harazim.
Pogodba je bila sklenjena konec leta 2007, narejenih pa je bilo že 5 od 20 km cevovoda. „Cevi so različno dolge, vsak odsek pa je računalniško oblikovan, da se zagotovi popolna prilagoditev,“ je pojasnil Harazim.
