In 2009, the EU provided relief to tens of millions of people in more than 70 countries, with a budget of more than €900 million.
Leta 2009 je Evropska unija zagotovila pomoč več deset milijonom ljudi v več kot 70 državah, za kar je imela na voljo proračun v višini več kot 900 milijonov EUR.
In line with EU values of solidarity, respect for human dignity, equality and tolerance, aid is deployed in a neutral, impartial and independent way, and allocated solely on the basis of the needs of the victims of natural disasters or conflicts.
V skladu z evropskimi vrednotami solidarnosti, spoštovanja človekovega dostojanstva, enakosti in strpnosti se pomoč razdeljuje nevtralno, nepristransko in neodvisno, dodeli pa se samo na podlagi potreb žrtev naravnih nesreč ali spopadov.
The aid is channelled through around 200 operational partners, including specialised United Nations’ agencies, the Red Cross/Crescent movement and non-governmental organisations.
Pomoč se usmerja prek približno 200 operativnih partnerjev, ki vključujejo specializirane agencije Združenih narodov, gibanje Rdečega križa/Rdečega polmeseca in nevladne organizacije.
In March the Commission allocated nearly €250 million in humanitarian aid to vulnerable people in 12 African countries, including Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Burundi and refugees in Tanzania, the Sahel region, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Kenya, who were victims of drought and floods, conflicts, epidemics, chronic food insecurity and poverty.
Marca je Komisija dodelila skoraj 250 milijonov EUR v humanitarni pomoči za ranljive prebivalce v 12 afriških državah, vključno s Sudanom, Demokratično republiko Kongo, Čadom, Burundijem in begunci v Tanzaniji, območjem Sahela, Ugando, Zimbabvejem in Kenijo, ki so bili žrtve suš in poplav, spopadov, epidemij, stalno nezanesljive preskrbe s hrano ter revščine.
Alongside the rising incidence of natural disasters, many manmade crises have become increasingly complex, generating evident humanitarian problems — in the Darfur region, for example.
Poleg vedno večje pogostosti naravnih nesreč so se poglobile mnoge krize, ki jih je povzročil človek, in ustvarile očitne humanitarne težave, kot na primer v Darfurju. Leta 2009 je Komisija financirala humanitarni program v Sudanu s 110 milijoni EUR.
And as hundreds of thousands of civilians were displaced when Pakistan’s Swat valley became the scene of conflict in April and May, the Commission boosted its emergency humanitarian funds to the country from €7 million to €72 million, to help the most vulnerable.
Zaradi spopadov aprila in maja v dolini Svat v Pakistanu je bilo na sto tisoče civilistov razseljenih, zato je Komisija povečala izredna humanitarna sredstva za to državo s 7 milijonov EUR na 72 milijonov EUR, da bi priskočila na pomoč najranljivejšemu prebivalstvu.
COPING WITH DISASTER
PREMAGOVANJE NESREČ
RAPID DISASTER RELIEF
HITRA POMOČ OB NESREČAH
In February the Commission adopted a strategy for supporting disaster risk
Februarja je Komisija sprejela strategijo v podporo zmanjševanju tveganja nesreč
22 reduction in developing countries (
22 v državah v razvoju (
), with a focus on reducing the impact of natural disasters on high-risk countries.
), ki se osredotoča na zmanjševanje posledic naravnih nesreč v državah z visokim tveganjem.
The EU operates on the basis that prevention is better than cure, urging investment in the reduction of risks before a disaster takes place — more effective than merely providing humanitarian aid afterwards.
Evropska unija deluje po načelu, da je pojave bolje preprečiti kot odpravljati njihove posledice, zato spodbuja naložbe v zmanjševanje tveganja pred nesrečami, kar je učinkoviteje kot zagotavljati humanitarno pomoč po nesrečah.
The Commission responded promptly to the series of natural disasters — typhoons, tsunami and earthquake — that struck the Asia-Pacific region at the end of September.
Komisija se je hitro odzvala na vrsto naravnih nesreč – tajfune, cunami in potres, ki so prizadeli azijsko-pacifiško regijo konec septembra.
It released €7.15 million in fast-track funding for immediate relief activities.
Po hitrem postopku financiranja je sprostila 7,15 milijona EUR za takojšnje dejavnosti pomoči.
In a process of political dialogue with developing countries, the EU will integrate disaster risk reduction into policy and actions and develop regional plans, including support for awarenessraising campaigns.
Unija bo v političnem dialogu z državami v razvoju vključevala zmanjševanje tveganja nesreč v politike in ukrepe ter razvijala regionalne načrte, vključno s podporo za ozaveščevalne kampanje.
As the first follow-up, in May, the European Commission and the Caribbean region discussed creating a platform for regional cooperation in disaster management and civil protection, in light of the acute needs in the region.
Kot prvi ukrep na podlagi tega procesa sta Evropska komisija in karibska regija maja glede na pereče potrebe te regije razpravljali o vzpostavitvi okvira za regionalno sodelovanje pri ravnanju ob nesrečah in pri civilni zaščiti.
WAR, REFUGEES AND FORGOTTEN CRISES
VOJNE, BEGUNCI IN POZABLJENE KRIZE
In 2009, the EU provided relief to tens of millions of victims of natural disasters or conflicts — such as here in the Philippines, in the wake of Storm Ketsana.
Leta 2009 je EU zagotovila pomoč več deset milijonom žrtev naravnih nesreč in konfliktov, kot na primer tu na Filipinih po opustošenju zaradi tajfuna Ketsana.
The Commission continued to provide relief to the victims of ‘forgotten’ humanitarian crises — such as the internal conflict in Colombia — that harm vulnerable groups, specifically women, children and ethnic minorities, often causing them to flee their homes.
Komisija je še naprej zagotavljala pomoč žrtvam „pozabljenih“ humanitarnih kriz – kot so notranji konflikti v Kolumbiji – ki prizadenejo ranljive skupine, zlasti ženske, otroke in etnične manjšine, ter jih pogosto preženejo od doma.
A delegation of MEPs also raised awareness of the humanitarian situation in Gaza after the fighting there in January.
Poleg tega si je delegacija poslancev Evropskega parlamenta prizadevala za ozaveščenje o humanitarnih razmerah v Gazi po tamkajšnjih januarskih spopadih.
They were the only European representatives to visit the area during the conflict, and to witness at first hand the destruction of public buildings, the breakdown of daily services and the signs of humanitarian crisis.
Bili so namreč edini evropski predstavniki, ki so obiskali območje med konflikti ter bili neposredne priče uničenju javnih zgradb, prekinitvi osnovnih storitev in znakom humanitarne krize.
WHAT TYPE OF HUMANITARIAN AID DOES THE EU GIVE?

The EU exercises its international influence and its soft power in fighting poverty and promoting economic development and democracy.
Evropska unija v boju z revščino ter za spodbujanje gospodarskega razvoja in demokracije uporablja svoj mednarodni vpliv in svojo mehko moč.
It has become a leading actor in development over the last decade, with funding up by 90 % since 2001, so that now it provides almost 60 % of global aid.
V zadnjem desetletju je postala vodilni akter na področju razvoja. Sredstva, ki jih namenja za razvoj, so se od leta 2001 povečala za 90 %, tako da danes zagotavlja skoraj 60 % svetovne pomoči.
Its role is all the more important as the economic crisis exacerbates the fragility of many countries.
Njena vloga je še toliko pomembnejša v času, ko so zaradi gospodarske krize številne države ranljivejše.
During 2009 it intensified its efforts to build international cooperation on the global issues of climate and energy, trade liberalisation and the attainment of the UN millennium development goals (23).
V letu 2009 je EU okrepila svoja prizadevanja za vzpostavitev mednarodnega sodelovanja na področju svetovnih vprašanj – podnebja in energetike, liberalizacije trgovine ter uresničevanja razvojnih ciljev tisočletja, ki so jih sprejeli Združeni narodi (23).
And in the deployment of its own extensive technical and financial assistance, the European Commission has given priority to the sensitive but crucial issue of promoting democratic governance.
Pri zagotavljanju obsežne tehnične in finančne pomoči Evropska komisija daje prednost občutljivemu, a ključnemu področju – spodbujanju demokratičnega upravljanja.
POLICY COHERENCE FOR DEVELOPMENT
USKLAJENOST POLITIK ZA RAZVOJ
Development policy is about more than providing clean water and surfaced roads, important though these are.
Razvojna politika ni namenjena le zagotavljanju čiste vode in tlakovanih cest, čeprav je to pomembno.
The aim is to help reduce and ultimately eradicate poverty in the developing countries through the promotion of sustainable development, democracy, peace and security.
Cilj razvojne politike je prispevati k zmanjševanju revščine v državah v razvoju ter jo sčasoma izkoreniniti, in sicer s spodbujanjem trajnostnega razvoja, demokracije, miru in varnosti.
The Union also uses trade to drive the process, by opening its markets to exports from developing countries and by encouraging them to trade more with each other.
Za pospeševanje tega procesa Unija uporablja tudi trgovino, tako da odpira svoje trge izvozu iz držav v razvoju ter spodbuja njihovo medsebojno trgovanje.
The link between development cooperation and governance was underlined by the European Parliament when it urged the Commission to focus direct budget support on governments which used it transparently and accountably.
Na povezavo med razvojnim sodelovanjem in upravljanjem je opozoril Evropski parlament, ko je Komisijo pozval, naj neposredno proračunsko pomoč namenja predvsem vladam, ki jo porabljajo pregledno in odgovorno.
WHO GIVES DEVELOPMENT AID?
KDO DAJE RAZVOJNO POMOČ?
Main donors of official development aid; 2009 and 2010 are forecasts
Glavni donatorji uradne razvojne pomoči Za leti 2009 in 2010 so navedene ocene zneskov.
A commitment to policy coherence is embedded in the ‘European consensus on development’ — the policy statement that reflects the willingness of the European Commission and Member States to work together on common values, goals and principles to eradicate poverty and build a more stable and equitable world.
Zavezanost usklajenosti politik je temeljno načelo Evropskega soglasja o raz- voju – politične izjave, v kateri so Evropska komisija in države članice izrazile pripravljenost za skupna prizadevanja pri uresničevanju skupnih vrednot, ciljev in načel, namenjenih izkoreninjenju revščine ter graditvi stabilnejšega in pravičnej-šega sveta.
Coherence is necessary because policies other than aid — including trade, transport, energy, environment, climate change, security, agriculture or fisheries — have a major role in assisting developing countries to attain the millennium development goals.
Usklajenost je potrebna, ker so druge, nerazvojne politike (med drugim na področju trgovine, prometa, energetike, okolja, podnebnih sprememb, varnosti, kmetijstva, ribištva) bistvene za podporo državam v razvoju pri uresničevanju razvojnih ciljev tisočletja.
In September, a regular Commission report (24) highlighted how effectively this policy coherence is being pursued in research (notably in health and food security), environment (in order to fight illegal logging, the EU imports only certified timber from its partner countries) and energy (developing countries can benefit by exporting biofuels to the EU, and importers are obliged to comply with clear environmental criteria).
V rednem poročilu Komisije, izdanem septembra (24), je poudarjeno učinkovito izvajanje usklajenosti politik na področju raziskav (zlasti za področji zdravja in zanesljive preskrbe s hrano), okolja (EU v boju proti nezakoniti sečnji uvaža samo certificiran les iz partnerskih držav) in energetike (države v razvoju lahko izvažajo biogoriva v EU, uvozniki pa morajo spoštovati jasna okoljska merila).
The millennium development goals — which range from halving extreme poverty and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS to providing universal primary education — are at the heart of EU development policy.
Razvojni cilji tisočletja, med katerimi so prepolovitev skrajne revščine, zaustavitev širjenja virusa HIV/aidsa ter zagotovitev osnovnega izobraževanja za vse, so v jedru razvojne politike EU.
The EU has asked national authorities to set financial targets for development funding so as to demonstrate their commitment to these goals, for which the deadline is 2015 — particularly lowering child and maternal mortality levels and providing clean drinking water, where delivery is lagging behind targets.
Unija je pozvala nacionalne organe, naj določijo finančne cilje za razvojno financiranje in tako pokažejo svojo zavezanost razvojnim ciljem tisočletja, ki naj bi bili doseženi leta 2015, kar je še zlasti pomembno pri zniževanju stopnje smrtnosti otrok in mater ter zagotavljanju čiste pitne vode, kjer rezultati zaostajajo za cilji.
NEW CROPS BRING NEW HOPE
NOVE POLJŠČINE PRINAŠAJO NOVO UPANJE
The EU has improved aid effectiveness by the increased use of budget support to beneficiary countries, making aid more predictable and coordinating donors more closely.
Z okrepljeno uporabo proračunske podpore državam upravičenkam, povečanjem predvidljivosti pomoči in tesnejšim usklajevanjem donatorjev je EU izboljšala učinkovitost pomoči.
Policy coherence also takes into account the impact of EU policies on development and mainstreaming of gender, environment and children’s rights.
Usklajenost politik upošteva tudi učinek politik EU na razvoj ter vključevanje vprašanj spola, okolja in otrokovih pravic.
In May, additional funding of €164 million was focused on efforts to assist developing countries cope with climate change.
Maja je bilo zagotovljenih dodatnih 164 milijonov EUR za pomoč državam v razvoju pri spopadanju s podnebnimi spremembami.
Recent EU assistance success stories include replenishing Pacific Island root crops destroyed by cyclones, introducing sweet potatoes that are tolerant to saltwater and drought to atoll countries affected by climate change, and helping countries exposed to frequent floods by providing water tolerant seeds.
Zadnje zgodbe o uspehu v okviru pomoči EU vključujejo obnovitev pridelka korenovk in gomoljnic na tihooceanskih otokih, ki so jih uničili cikloni, uvedbo sladkega krompirja, odpornega na slano vodo in sušo, v koralnootoških državah, ki so jih prizadele podnebne spremembe, in pomoč državam, v katerih so pogoste poplave, z zagotavljanjem vodoodpornih semen.
Other programmes have helped local communities by boosting sustainability of the lagoon and reef fisheries that they depend on for livelihoods and food.
Drugi programi so lokalnim skupnostim pomagali pri izboljšanju trajnosti ribolova v lagunah in ob koralnih grebenih, ki je njihov vir preživetja in hrane.
The EU’s efforts to enhance policy coherence continue.
Prizadevanja EU za večjo usklajenost politik se nadaljujejo.
A September report from the Commission noted that, while aid has a key role to play in support of developing countries’ efforts, it will not be enough in itself — particularly in the wake of the global economic and financial crisis.
Septembrsko poročilo Komisije navaja, da pomoč kljub osrednji vlogi, ki jo ima pri podpiranju prizadevanj držav v razvoju, sama po sebi ne bo dovolj, zlasti zaradi posledic svetovne gospodarske in finančne krize.
The report urged more focus on the positive effects for development of the EU’s own choices in other policy areas, and more effective harnessing of the development potential of financial flows other than official aid.
Poročilo poziva, da je treba dati večji poudarek pozitivnim učinkom za razvoj, ki so posledica odločitev EU na drugih področjih politik, ter učinkoviteje izkoristiti razvojni potencial finančnih tokov zunaj uradne pomoči.
A study released during the European Development Days in October (25) suggested that a European approach to development aid could bring €3 billion to €6 billion a year in gains.
V študiji, predstavljeni na evropskih razvojnih dnevih v oktobru (25), je navedeno, da bi z evropskim pristopom k razvojni pomoči lahko zagotovili od 3 milijarde EUR do 6 milijard EUR več sredstev letno.
During 2009 the Commission urged greater regional cooperation and economic integration among African, Caribbean and Pacific partners to promote growth, trade and development.
V letu 2009 se je Komisija zavzemala za tesnejše regionalno sodelovanje in gospodarsko povezovanje med afriškimi, karibskimi in pacifiškimi partnericami, namenjeno pospeševanju rasti, trgovine in razvoja.
Negotiations with groups of countries were conducted on regional economic partnership agreements, and further assistance came from the regional component of the new European Development Fund, the African Peace Facility, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
S skupinami držav so potekala pogajanja o regionalnih sporazumih o gospodarskem partnerstvu, dodatno pomoč pa so zagotavljali regionalna komponenta novega Evropskega razvojnega sklada, mirovna pomoč za Afriko ter Svetovni sklad za boj proti aidsu, tuberkulozi in malariji.
With its African partners, the EU started work on an ambitious joint development strategy, and strengthened dialogue on global issues.
EU je z afriškimi partnericami začela pripravljati ambiciozno skupno razvojno strategijo ter okrepila dialog o globalnih vprašanjih.
Following on China’s increased involvement in Africa, the Commission also made proposals for three-way EU–China–Africa cooperation, to find common solutions to common challenges.
Zaradi vse večje prisotnosti Kitajske v Afriki je Komisija predlagala tudi tristransko sodelovanje med EU, Kitajsko in Afriko, da bi poiskali skupne rešitve za skupne probleme.
In October, the 27 ambassadors to the EU’s Political and Security Committee met their counterparts in the African Union in Addis Ababa, for discussions on addressing unconstitutional changes of government, election-related violence and disputes, and the conflicts in Somalia and Sudan.
Oktobra se je 27 članov Političnega in varnostnega odbora EU sestalo s sogovorniki iz Afriške unije v Adis Abebi, kjer so razpravljali o neustavnih spremembah oblasti, nasilju in sporih, ki spremljajo volitve, ter konfliktih v Somaliji in Sudanu.
During the year the EU continued to provide support to the Strategic Planning and Management Unit of the African Union, with a programme of €4.7 million to help meet staff and operational costs, as well as seconding four military planners and police advisors.
Med letom je EU še naprej zagotavljala podporo oddelku Afriške unije za strateško načrtovanje in upravljanje. V okviru tega programa je zagotovljenih 4,7 milijo- na EUR za kritje stroškov osebja in operativnih stroškov ter za napotitev štirih vojaških strategov in policijskih svetovalcev.
And scientific cooperation was given a boost in July with a call for research proposals dedicated to Africa launched through the EU’s framework programme for research — the first entirely dedicated to the research initiative for Africa, and focused on health, environment, food, agriculture, fisheries and biotechnology.
Julija je bil storjen korak naprej na področju znanstvenega sodelovanja z objavo razpisa za raziskave v zvezi z Afriko, ki je del okvirnega programa EU za raziskave. To je prvi razpis, ki je v celoti posvečen raziskovalnim pobudam za Afriko, poudarek pa je na raziskavah na področju zdravja, okolja, hrane, kmetijstva, ribištva in biotehnologij.
The fifth successful round of the AU–EU Human Rights Dialogue showed that this had become a valuable part of cooperation in the human rights area, bringing about concrete common conclusions, recommendations and commitments.
Peti uspe- šen krog dialoga o človekovih pravicah med Afriško unijo in EU je pokazal, da je ta dialog postal pomemben del sodelovanja na področju človekovih pravic ter je dal konkretne rezultate v obliki skupnih sklepov, priporočil in zavez.
In March, an agreement was signed between the Commission and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries Group for a total of €2.7 billion, under which 77 countries will benefit from aid in sectors including health, water, combating climate change and peacekeeping.
Marca je bil podpisan sporazum med Komisijo ter skupino afriških, karibskih in pacifiških držav, v okviru katerega bo 77 držav prejelo pomoč v skupni vrednosti 2,7 milijarde EUR, med drugim na področjih zdravja, vode, boja proti podnebnim spremembam in ohranjanja miru.
The Commission set aside €500 million for a new mechanism, called ‘Vulnerability FLEX’, to be provided during 2009–10 to help the most affected countries respond to the global crisis, including its social consequences.
Komisija je za leti 2009 in 2010 rezervirala 500 milijonov EUR za nov mehanizem, imenovan „FLEX za ranljivost“, ki naj bi najbolj prizadetim državam pomagal pri spopadanju s svetovno krizo ter njenimi socialnimi posledicami.
The Commission also made an additional contribution of €200 million to the EU–Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund.
Komisija je prispevala tudi dodatnih 200 milijonov EUR v skrbniški sklad EU-Afrika za infrastrukturo.
The intra-ACP 2009 annual action programme was adopted by the Commission in November 2008, containing 13 actions with a total budget of €800 million, including new funding for the ACP–EU Water and Energy Facility.
Novembra 2008 je Komisija sprejela letni program ukrepov za AKP za leto 2009, ki obsega 13 dejavnosti, skupni proračun pa znaša 800 milijonov EUR, kar vključuje nova sredstva za Sklad AKP-EU za preskrbo z vodo in energijo.
Under the joint Africa–European Union strategy, there was progress during the year on political dialogue relating to conflict prevention, crisis management and coordinated responses to unconstitutional changes of government.
V okviru skupne strategije EU-Afrika je bil med letom dosežen napredek pri političnem dialogu o preprečevanju konfliktov, kriznem upravljanju in usklajenih odzivih na neustavne spremembe oblasti.
Moves were endorsed towards European Parliament and Panafrican Parliament collaboration and involvement.
Odobreni so bili koraki za vzpostavitev sodelovanja med Evropskim parlamentom in Vseafriškim parlamentom ter vključitev slednjega v odločanje.
The third EU–Africa Business Forum, in Kenya in September, reached consensus on the need for Africa to shift its policy objective from poverty reduction to the more dynamic goal of wealth creation.
Na tretjem Evro-afriškem poslovnem forumu, ki je potekal septembra v Keniji, je bilo doseženo soglasje o tem, da mora Afrika v svojih politikah narediti premik od zmanjševanja revščine k bolj dinamičnemu cilju ustvarjanja bogastva.
There was also broad agreement on the need for greater regional integration, increased investment and improved infrastructure.
Prav tako je bila večina udeležencev mnenja, da je treba okrepiti regionalno povezovanje, povečati naložbe in izboljšati infrastrukturo.
A constructive EU–Zimbabwe troika meeting took place in June to restore and strengthen cooperation between Zimbabwe and the EU.
