If Europe speaks with a single voice on energy matters, its strength with other countries and external energy suppliers is increased.
Kadar Evropa enoglasno spregovori o energetskih vprašanjih, lahko v odnosih s tretjimi državami in zunanjimi dobavitelji energije bolje uveljavlja svoja stališča.
At the same time, achieving EU energy objectives is easier if the EU can work through global agreements and multilateral legal frameworks.
Obenem je doseganje energetskih ciljev EU lažje, če delo EU poteka prek sporazumov na svetovni ravni in večstranskih pravnih okvirov.
In support of these goals, the Commission continued to increase its international engagement and cooperation specically related to energy matters.
Komisija podpira te cilje, zato še naprej krepi svoje mednarodno udejstvovanje in sodelovanje na področju energetike.
The EU has established firmer relations with the countries where fossil fuels come from or transit through — since political disputes, accidents, natural disasters and technical faults can all disrupt supplies.
EU je vzpostavila tesnejše odnose z državami, ki imajo nahajališča fosilnih goriv ali so tranzitne države zanje, saj politični spori, nesreče, naravne katastrofe in tehnične okvare lahko ovirajo oskrbo.
The gas crisis at the start of 2009 — resulting from a dispute between Russia and Ukraine — cut o supplies to 12 Member States, while temperatures plunged below zero.
Plinska kriza na začetku leta 2009, ki je bila posledica spora med Rusijo in Ukrajino, je prekinila oskrbo v 12 državah članicah v času, ko so temperature padle pod ničlo.
As companies and schools were forced to close, and Europeans were left shivering at home, the Commission dispatched a team of 20 experts to monitor gas transit on site in Kiev and Moscow.
Medtem ko so morala podjetja in šole zapreti vrata, Evropejci pa so na svojih domovih drgetali od mraza, je Komisija poslala ekipo 20 strokovnjakov v Ukrajino in Moskvo, kjer so na terenu spremljali prenos plina.
Their presence demonstrated to the Russian and Ukrainian sides the united resistance of EU governments and industry to being taken hostage in the dispute.
Njihova prisotnost je ruski in ukrajinski strani pokazala združen odpor vlad in industrije iz EU proti temu, da bi postali talci v njunem sporu.
Gas finally started to flow again on 20 January after a week of mutual recriminations between Kiev and Moscow and intensive diplomatic intervention at the very highest level by the Commission, in coordination with the Czech Presidency and the aected Member States.
Plin je končno ponovno stekel 20. januarja po tednu medsebojnih obtoževanj Kijeva in Moskve ter intenzivnega diplomatskega posredovanja na najvišji ravni, ki ga je izvajala Komisija v sodelovanju s češkim predsedstvom in prizadetimi državami članicami.
With the aim of providing a durable solution, the Commission brought together international financial institutions to support Ukraine in purchasing gas from Russia and to modernise the gas transit system.
Komisija je z namenom, da bi zagotovila trajno rešitev, združila mednarodne finančne institucije, da so Ukrajini pomagale pri nakupu ruskega plina in posodobitvi prenosnega omrežja za plin.
The Commission also worked closely with the Ukrainian authorities on modernisation.
Tudi pri posodobitvi je tesno sodelovala z ukrajinskimi organi.
Following an agreement at the EU–Russia summit in Khabarovsk, and discussions on strengthening prevention and management of potential energy crises, the EU and Russia set up an early warning mechanism which will allow for remedial action when oil, gas or electricity supply is threatened or disrupted by infrastructure maintenance, accidents or commercial disputes.
Po podpisu sporazuma na vrhu EU-Rusija v Habarovsku in razpravah o okrepljenem preprečevanju in upravljanju morebitnih energetskih kriz, sta EU in Rusija vzpostavili mehanizem zgodnjega opozarjanja, ki bo omogočal sanacijske ukrepe, kadar bo oskrba z nafto, plinom ali električno energijo ogrožena ali prekinjena zaradi vzdrževanja infrastrukture, nesreč ali trgovinskih sporov.
While the response to the energy crisis was a very visible action, much of the international cooperation efforts during the year took place behind the scenes.
Medtem ko se je odziv na energetsko krizo odvijal na očeh javnosti, je velik del mednarodnih prizadevanj za sodelovanje čez leto potekal v zakulisju.
These efforts were devoted not only to security of supply matters, such as diversification of supplies in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, but also to promoting sustainable energy policy.
Ta prizadevanja so bila namenjena ne le vprašanjem v zvezi z zanesljivostjo oskrbe, kot je diverzifikacija oskrbe v Evropi, Aziji, na Bližnjem vzhodu in v Afriki, temveč tudi podpiranju trajnostne energetske politike.
‘New sources of oil are becoming scarcer, and often have political and environmental problems attached to them.
„Novi viri nafte so vse redkejši in pogosto povezani s političnimi in okoljskimi problemi.
The world in general (and Europe in particular) will be better off and more secure if dependence on oil can be reduced.’
Veliko bolje in varneje za svet na splošno (in zlasti za Evropo) bo, če se zmanjša odvisnost od nafte.“ To je glavna ugotovitev Drugega strateškega
26), and approved in 2009 proposed by the Commission in November 2008 ( by the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
) ter so ga leta 2009 potrdili Evropski parlament, Svet, Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor in Odbor regij.
Among the concrete steps during the year was the setting up of the EU–US Energy Council, the launch of the Eastern Partnership Energy Security Platform, the signature of a Declaration of Intent on Energy Cooperation between the EU and Belarus, broadening of the energy dialogue with China, and progress with the ‘Near zero emission coal’ project with China.
Nekateri konkretni dosežki tega leta so bili vzpostavitev Energetskega sveta EU-ZDA, vzpostavitev Platforme vzhodnega partnerstva o zanesljivosti oskrbe z energijo, podpis Deklaracije o nameri sodelovanja na področju energetike med EU in Belorusijo, razširitev dialoga o energiji s Kitajsko ter napredek pri projektu premoga s skoraj ničelnimi emisijami na Kitajskem.
The EU–India summit in November also agreed to enhance energy cooperation, focusing particularly on renewables and energy efficiency.
Na novembrskem vrhu EU-Indija je bil prav tako dosežen dogovor o krepitvi sodelovanja na področju energetike, zlasti kar zadeva obnovljive vire energije in energetsko učinkovitost.
Closer coordination among Member States and with the Commission and speaking with one voice are particularly important to harness the collective weight of the EU in multilateral frameworks such as the International Energy Agency and the G8 process.
Tesnejše sodelovanje med državami članicami in s Komisijo ter enotno nastopanje sta še zlasti pomembna za pravilno usmerjanje skupne teže EU v večstranskih okvirih, kot sta Mednarodna agencija za energijo in proces G-8.
In May, the European Commission, along with the G8 countries plus other major and emerging economies, launched operations under the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation.
Maja je Evropska komisija skupaj z državami G-8 ter drugimi večjimi gospodarstvi in gospodarstvi v vzponu začela postopke v okviru Mednarodnega partnerstva za sodelovanje glede energetske učinkovitosti.
This forum for high-level policy discussion and cooperation on energy efficiency issues aims to: n u l l
Ta forum na visoki ravni za razprave o politiki in sodelovanju na področju energetske učinkovitosti se zavzema za naslednje cilje: n u l l
Developing countries will be able to achieve sustainable development that at the same time will reduce emissions.
Države v razvoju bodo lahko dosegle trajnostni razvoj in hkrati zmanjševale emisije. V ta namen je treba načrtovati rast z nizkimi emisijami CO
This is a matter of planning for growth with lowcarbon emissions, making so-called ‘low-carbon growth plans’, and integrating them into climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in national development strategies.
2, torej pripraviti t. i.„načrte za nizkoogljično rast“ ter jih vključiti v ukrepe za ublažitev podnebnih sprememb in prilagoditev nanje v okviru nacionalnih razvojnih strategij.
This will ensure that growth will benefit all, build on open and effective forms of democratic governance, and contribute to gender equality and poverty reduction.
S tem se bo zagotovilo, da bo rast koristna za vse, da bo temeljila na odprtih in učinkovitih oblikah demokratičnega vladanja ter prispevala k enakosti spolov in zmanjševanju revščine.
In May the Commission adopted the 2009 annual action programme implementing the environment thematic programme, with funding of €164 million.
Komisija je maja sprejela letni program ukrepov za leto 2009 o izvajanju okoljskega tematskega programa, za katerega je na voljo financiranje v višini 164 milijonov EUR.
This provided assistance to developing countries coping with climate change, including through the Global Climate Change Alliance, which promotes cooperation between the EU and the most vulnerable developing countries.
To je omogočilo pomoč državam v razvoju, ki se spopadajo s podnebnimi spremembami, med drugim prek globalnega zavezništva o podnebnih spremembah, ki spodbuja sodelovanje med EU in najranljivejšimi državami v razvoju.
In May the EU–ACP Council adopted a joint declaration on climate change and development, and specific cooperation activities were selected with four pilot countries: Cambodia, Maldives, Tanzania and Vanuatu.
Svet EU-AKP je maja sprejel skupno izjavo o podnebnih spremembah in razvoju, izbrane pa so bile tudi posebne dejavnosti sodelovanja s štirimi pilotnimi državami: Kambodžo, Maldivi, Tanzanijo in Vanuatujem.
In February the Commission adopted a communication on an EU strategy for disaster risk reduction in developing countries (27) — a subject closely related to climate change, as climate-related disasters have increased rapidly.
27) – to je tema, ki je tesno povezana s pod- tveganja nesreč v državah v razvoju ( nebnimi spremembami, saj število nesreč, povezanih s podnebjem, hitro narašča.
Since then, work started on an implementation plan involving the Commission and the Member States.
Od takrat se je začelo delo na načrtu za izvajanje, ki vključuje Komisijo in države članice.
An April Commission working document on improving environmental integration in development cooperation will provide a basis for better environmental integration at the EU level.
Aprilski delovni dokument Komisije o okrepljenem vključevanju okoljskih zadev v razvojno sodelovanje bo podlaga za večje upoštevanje okoljskih vprašanj na ravni EU.
The EU has continued to help African countries improve the business climate for energy investments.
EU je še naprej pomagala afriškim državam pri izboljševanju poslovnega okolja za naložbe v energijo.
In energy, the African Union and the EU agreed to work on standardisation and integration of energy markets, and the EU is supporting integration of electricity markets in Maghreb countries.
Na področju energije sta se Afriška unija in EU dogovorili o delu na področju standardizacije in združevanja energetskih trgov, EU pa podpira tudi združevanje trgov z električno energijo v državah Magreba.
The EU has continued to help African countries improve the business climate for energy investments, and has worked with some on a Mediterranean solar energy plan.
EU afriškim državam stalno pomaga izboljševati poslovno okolje za energetske naložbe in je z nekaterimi sodelovala pri načrtu za sončno energijo v Sredozemlju.
The European Commission also aims to protect forests globally.
Evropska komisija si prizadeva tudi za zaščito gozdov na svetovni ravni.
Under its ‘Forest law enforcement governance and trade initiative’, the EU imports only certified timber from its partner countries to fight illegal logging.
V skladu s pobudo za izvrševanje zakonodaje, upravljanje in trgovanje na področju gozdov EU uvaža samo potrjen les iz partnerskih držav, s čimer se bori proti nezakoniti sečnji.
So far Ghana and Congo have signed such an agreement, and the EU pursued an international deal to extend this campaign through the UN talks on climate change.
Doslej sta takšen sporazum podpisali Gana in Kongo, EU pa si prizadeva za mednarodni dogovor, da bi to kampanjo razširila na razprave o podnebnih spremembah v ZN.
The outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December was a disappointment.
Konferenca ZN o podnebnih spremembah, ki je decembra potekala v Københavnu, je prinesla razočaranje.
After two weeks of intense negotiations, on the final day some 30 countries — including the USA, China, India and Brazil, as well as some EU Member States and the European Commission — reached a limited ‘accord’.
Po dveh tednih intenzivnih pogajanj je zadnji dan okrog 30 držav, med katerimi so ZDA, Kitajska, Indija in Brazilija, pa tudi nekatere države članice EU in Evropska komisija, doseglo omejen„sporazum“.
This contains a number of positive elements, including endorsement for the first time at global level of the 2 °C ceiling and commitments to mobilise climate financing for developing countries in amounts that are in line with the Commission’s proposals.
Sporazum vsebuje vrsto pozitivnih elementov, med drugim prvo potrditev zgornje meje 2 °C na svetovni ravni in zaveze za aktivacijo podnebnega financiranja držav v razvoju v zneskih, skladnih s predlogi Komisije.
Overall, however, the Copenhagen accord falls well short of meeting the EU’s level of ambition.
Vendar na splošno sporazum iz Københavna še zdaleč ni dosegel ambicioznosti, ki bi jo želela EU.
Moreover, due to opposition from a handful of parties the conference merely noted the accord without formally endorsing it.
Poleg tega je konferenca zaradi nasprotovanja peščice udeleženk zgolj zabeležila dogovor, ne da bi ga tudi uradno potrdila.
As a consequence, renewed efforts will be needed to reach a legally binding global agreement at the next UN Climate Change Conference, to be held in Mexico City in November 2010.
Zato bodo potrebna ponovna prizadevanja za dosego pravno zavezujočega mednarodnega sporazuma na naslednji konferenci ZN o podnebnih spremembah, ki bo v Ciudádu de Méxicu novembra 2010.
Despite the limited results of Copenhagen, the work done there and over the course of preceding months to narrow differences on the negotiating texts provides a good starting point for reaching a comprehensive and legally binding agreement by the end of 2010.
Kljub le delno uspešnemu izidu Københavna so prizadevanja ob tej priložnosti in v predhodnih mesecih za zmanjšanje razlik v pogajalskih izhodiščih dobro izhodišče za dosego celovitega in pravno zavezujočega sporazuma do konca leta 2010.
The EU has played a leading role in this process.
EU je v tem procesu igrala vodilno vlogo.
The result of the Copenhagen conference in December was only a first step to a more ambitious commitment to fight climate change.
Rezultat decembrske konference v Københavnu je bil le prvi korak na poti do ambicioznejše zaveze za boj proti podnebnim spremembam.
‘2009, culminating in the Copenhagen conference, is a crucial year for the battle against climate change, but in fact climate change has been the defining issue for this Commission, and I fully expect it to be the defining issue for the next Commission.
„Leto 2009, ki je doseglo vrh s konferenco v Københavnu, je bilo ključno za boj proti podnebnim spremembam, hkrati pa so bile podnebne spremembe osrednja naloga te komisije in po mojih pričakovanjih bodo ostale osrednja naloga tudi za prihodnjo komisijo.
Why is that?
Zakaj je tako?
Because environment policy in general, and climate policy in particular, are natural European issues.
Ker sta splošna okoljska politika in zlasti podnebna politika po svoji naravi evropski zadevi.
Carbon emissions don’t stop for checks at national borders.
Emisije ogljika se ne ustavljajo na mejah med državami.
Actions we take — or don’t take — inside the European Union have a direct impact on the rainforests of Brazil and Borneo, and on the thickness of the Greenland ice sheet,’said José Manuel Barroso at the Commission’s Green Week conference in Brussels in June.
Ukrepi, ki jih sprejmemo (ali ne sprejmemo) znotraj Evropske unije, imajo neposreden vpliv na pragozdove v Braziliji in na Borneu ter na debelino ledenega pokrova na Grenlandiji,“ je dejal José Manuel Barroso junija na konferenci Komisije ob Zelenem tednu v Bruslju.
The EU consistently sent a forceful and clear signal to other countries in the run-up to the climate meeting in Copenhagen, showing the political leadership needed for keeping global warming below 2 °C (28).
EU je med pripravami na podnebno srečanje v Københavnu drugim državam stalno pošiljala odločna in jasna sporočila, s čimer je prevzela vodilno politično vlogo, nujno za to, da se globalno segrevanje zadrži pod 2 °C (28).
To encourage other major emitters to take strong action and thereby improve the chances of achieving a suciently ambitious global agreement, the EU has undertaken to raise its emission cuts to 30 % if other industrialised countries collectively agree to make comparable reductions and if developing countries with rapid economic development contribute to a global agreement to the extent that they are able.
Da bi druge večje onesnaževalce spodbudila k odločnejšemu ukrepanju in tako izboljšala možnosti za dosego dovolj ambicioznega svetovnega sporazuma, se je EU zavezala, da bo svoja zmanjšanja emisij povečala na 30 %, če se bodo ostale industrijske države skupaj odločile za primerljiva zmanjšanja in če bodo države v razvoju s hitrim gospodarskim razvojem po svojih najboljših močeh prispe- vale k svetovnemu sporazumu.
The EU developed its position for the international climate negotiations through meetings of environment and finance ministers and the European Council, culminating in an informal ministerial meeting in Åre in July, the Environment Council in Luxembourg in October and the European Council in October (29).
EU je svoje stališče za mednarodna pogajanja na področju podnebja oblikovala na sestankih okoljskih in finančnih ministrov ter Evropskega sveta z vrhunci na julijskem neformalnem ministrskem zasedanju v Åreju, oktobrskem Svetu za okolje v Luxembourgu in oktobrskem Evropskem svetu (29).
In October, the Environment Council stepped up the momentum in agreeing a negotiating framework for the EU.
Svet za okolje je oktobra dosegel pomemben napredek, ko se je dogovoril o pogajalskem okviru EU.
Europe again demonstrated its leadership position on climate change, with its support for even higher long-term greenhouse gas emission reductions than the 80 % reected in the communiqué agreed at the G8 summit in L’Aquila, Italy, in July.
Evropa je znova dokazala svoj vodilni položaj na področju podnebnih sprememb, ko je podprla še višje dolgoročno zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov od dogovorjenih 80 % iz sporočila za javnost z letošnjega srečanja G-8 julija v L'Aquili v Italiji.
It also called for emission reduction targets for international aviation and shipping, which are not covered by the Kyoto Protocol but are a rapidly growing source of emissions.
Pozvala je tudi k ciljem za zmanjšanje emisij iz mednarodnega letalskega in pomorskega prometa, ki nista zajeta v Kjotski protokol, vendar sta vir hitro rastočih emisij.
A final review of EU positions and strategies ahead of the Copenhagen conference
Končni pregled stališč EU in strategij pred konferenco v Københavnu je potekal
30) on 23 November took place at an extra Environment Council meeting ( in Brussels, where Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, presented the state of play in the negotiations and other parties’ oers.
Boer, izvršni sekretar Okvirne konvencije Združenih narodov o spremembi podnebja, predstavil stanje pogajanja in ponudbe drugih udeleženk.
The key elements of the EU position are as follows:
Glavne sestavine stališča EU so naslednje:
4action to reduce global emissions should aim at keeping global warming below 2 °C. This requires that global emissions peak by 2020 at the latest, be cut to at least 50 % below 1990 levels by 2050 and continue to decline thereafter;
4ukrepi za zmanjšanje svetovnih emisij bi morali biti usmerjeni v zadržanje globalnega segrevanja pod 2 °C.V ta namen bi morale svetovne emisije doseči najvišje vrednosti najpozneje leta 2020, do leta 2050 bi jih bilo treba zmanjšati na vsaj 50 % pod ravnmi iz leta 1990, po tem letu pa bi morale še naprej upadati;
4long-term targets for the EU and other developed countries of 80–95 % emissions reductions by 2050 compared with 1990 levels;
4dolgoročni cilji za EU in ostale razvite države vključujejo 80- do 95-odstotno zmanjšanje emisij do leta 2050 v primerjavi z ravnmi iz leta 1990;
4limitations on emissions from international aviation and shipping by 10 and 20 % respectively by 2020 compared with 2005 levels, within the framework of international agreements;
4omejitve emisij iz mednarodnega letalskega in pomorskega prometa v višini 10 oziroma 20 % do leta 2020 v primerjavi z ravnmi iz leta 2005 v okviru mednarodnih sporazumov;
4clarication of EU demands: industrialised countries are to reduce their emissions by 25–40 % by 2020, and developing countries to reduce their emissions growth by 15–30 % compared with a situation in which no measures had been taken;
4razjasnitev zahtev EU: industrijske države morajo svoje emisije do leta 2020 zmanjšati za 25–40 %, države v razvoju pa morajo rast svojih emisij zmanjšati za 15–30 % v primerjavi s stanjem brez ukrepanja;
4the target of a maximum 2 °C rise in temperature remains the benchmark when other countries’ emissions reductions are assessed;
4pri oceni zmanjšanj emisij drugih držav se kot mejna vrednost upošteva cilj dviga temperature za največ 2 °C;
4clarication of EU views on how to combat deforestation and conduct sustainable forestry, and of the contributions of the agricultural and forestry sectors to achieve the climate goals: rapid action to halve deforestation by 2020 and to stop it by 2030;
4razjasnitev stališč EU o spopadanju s krčenjem gozdov in izvajanju trajnostnega gozdarstva ter o prispevku kmetijskega in gozdarskega sektorja pri doseganju naslednjih podnebnih ciljev: hitro ukrepanje, da se krčenje gozdov zmanjša za polovico do leta 2020 in ustavi do leta 2030;
4the additional cost to developing countries of mitigating and adapting to climate change under an ambitious global deal is estimated at €100 billion annually by 2020.
4dodatni strošek držav v razvoju za ublažitev podnebnih sprememb in prilagajanje nanje se v okviru ambicioznega sporazuma na svetovni ravni ocenjuje na 100 milijard EUR letno do leta 2020.
Some €22–50 billion of this will need to come from international public finance.
Približno 22–50 milijard EUR od tega zneska bo moralo izvirati iz mednarodnih javnih sredstev. EU je pripravljena plačati pošten delež te vsote.
For 2010–12 ‘fast-start’ financing of €5–7 billion globally per year is needed to help developing countries build up their capacities to combat climate change;
V obdobju 2010–2012 je potrebno financiranje za„hiter zagon“ v višini 5–7 milijard EUR letno na svetovni ravni, da se državam v razvoju pomaga zgraditi infrastrukturo za spopadanje s podnebnimi spremembami;
4accounting rules for emissions in connection with forestry and land use;
4računovodska pravila za emisije v povezavi z gozdarstvom in rabo zemljišč;
4development of the sectoral emissions trading system mechanism and reform of the clean development mechanism;
4razvoj sektorskega mehanizma za sistem za trgovanje z emisijami in reforma mehanizma čistega razvoja;
4clarication of EU views on management of emissions allowance surpluses for 2008–12, which can aect EU environmental ambitions;
4razjasnitev stališč EU o upravljanju s presežki pravic do emisij za obdobje 2008–12, ki lahko vplivajo na okoljske ambicije EU;
4a clear, tight timetable and guidelines for putting the legally binding regulatory framework in place.
4jasen in trdno določen časovni potek ter smernice za praktično izvajanje pravno zavezujočega zakonodajnega okvira.
