Many producers were tied down by overly restrictive rules; the sector was losing market share to vigorous non-European competition; stocks of “surplus” wine remained high; and too much of the sector’s CAP budget was being spent on questionable and costly policy measures – for example, some €500 million a year on subsidised distillation of wines which had no buyers.
Veliko vinarjev so ovirala preveč omejujoča pravila, sektor je izgubljal tržni delež zaradi močne neevropske konkurence; zaloge „presežnega“ vina so ostajale velike, preveč proračuna SKP za ta sektor pa se je porabljalo za vprašljive in drage ukrepe politike – na primer, približno 500 milijonov EUR na leto se je porabilo za subvencionirano destilacijo vin, za katera ni bilo kupcev.
Changes in labelling rules mean that consumers can now buy European wines identified only by vine variety and year of production (i.e. without a Protected Denomination of Origin or a Protected Geographical Indication).
Zaradi sprememb pravil za označevanje lahko potrošniki zdaj kupujejo evropska vina, ki jih označujeta samo sorta trte in leto pridelave (tj. brez zaščitene označbe porekla ali zaščitene geografske označbe).
This puts European producers on a more level playing field with their competitors, who have been selling such wines very successfully for many years.
Tako so evropski pridelovalci v bolj enakovrednem položaju s svojimi konkurenti, ki taka vina uspešno prodajajo že vrsto let.
As in the case of the sugar sector, many had said that reforming the wine sector was politically impossible.
Podobno kot za sektor sladkorja je tudi za sektor vina veliko ljudi menilo, da je reforma politično nemogoča.
And yet, in December 2007, the EU agreed a reform package to put its wine sector back on a sustainable footing for the long term.
EU pa je kljub temu decembra 2007 sprejela sveženj reform, da bi sektor vina naredila trajnosten za daljši čas.
Subsidies for distilling unwanted wines are being phased out, and the money is being spent instead on a broad menu of measures – from which Member States take their pick - to make the wine sector more competitive and to care for vine landscapes.
Subvencije za destilacijo neželenega vina se ukinjajo, sredstva pa se zdaj raje porabljajo za široko vrsto ukrepov, med katerimi lahko države članice izbirajo, da naredijo sektor vina bolj konkurenčen in poskrbijo za vinorodne pokrajine.
Also of importance is a reform of the EU spirits sector, likewise agreed in December 2007.
Pomembna je tudi reforma sektorja žganih pijač v EU, ki je bila prav tako sklenjena decembra 2007.
Among other things, this has introduced much clearer labelling of vodka for the consumer and thereby settled a long-running dispute between producers in dierent EU countries.
Med drugim je uvedla veliko jasnejše označevanje vodke za potrošnika in je tako poravnala dolgotrajen spor med proizvajalci v različnih državah EU.
Vodka made from grain or potatoes is simply labelled as "vodka"; otherwise, it is labelled as "vodka produced from….".
Vodka, ki je izdelana iz žita ali krompirja, je označena samo kot „vodka“, v nasprotnem primeru pa je označena kot „vodka, izdelana iz ...“.
In an important step to prepare for liberalisation, a three-year voluntary “grubbing-up scheme” - with strong environmental safeguards - is oering money to uncompetitive producers who wish to dig up their vines and leave the sector. This will bring the market into balance.
Pomemben korak za pripravo na liberalizacijo, triletni prostovoljni „program krčenja nasadov“ – z močnimi okoljevarstvenimi varovalkami – ponuja sredstva nekonkurenčnim pridelovalcem, ki želijo posekati svoje trte in zapustiti sektor.
Reform of rural development policy
Reforma politike razvoja podeželja
All Member States are now required to use rural development policy in a more balanced way than in the past.
Vse države članice morajo politiko razvoja podeželja zdaj uporabljati bolj uravnoteženo kot v preteklosti.
For example, they must spend at least 25 per cent of their rural development budget on environmental measures.
Na primer, vse države članice morajo zdaj vsaj 25 odstotkov svojega proračuna za razvoj podeželja porabiti za okoljevarstvene ukrepe.
Farming is the beating heart of rural Europe; but a body is made up of more than a heart alone.
Kmetijstvo je srce podeželske Evrope, ampak telo sestavlja veliko več kot le srce.
To help give the people of the EU a living, healthy countryside – a countryside with clean earth, air and water, with a range of economic opportunities and with communities which are attractive to live in – the CAP contains a strong policy for general rural development.
Da bi pomagali ljudem v EU dati živahno, zdravo podeželje – podeželje s čisto prstjo, zrakom in vodo ter z vrsto gospodarskih priložnosti in s skupnostmi, v katerih bi ljudje radi živeli – SKP vključuje trdno politiko za splošen razvoj podeželja.
Furthermore, the majority of them must now spend at least 5 per cent of their budget on projects thought up by local people - according to the so-called "Leader method".
Poleg tega mora večina držav članic porabiti vsaj 5 odstotkov svojega proračuna za financiranje projektov, ki so si jih zamislili lokalni prebivalci, kar je v skladu s tako imenovano „metodo Leader“.
The Leader method has in the past produced some highly imaginative ideas for solving very local, individual problems.
Metoda Leader je v preteklosti prinesla nekatere nadvse domiselne ideje za reševanje lokalnih, posameznih težav.
Often referred to as the "second pillar of the CAP" (the "rst pillar" consisting of income support payments to farmers and market instruments), rural development policy looks at rural areas as an organic whole.
Politika razvoja podeželja je pogosto imenovana„drugi steber SKP“ („prvi steber“ so dohodkovna podpora kmetom in tržni instrumenti), na podeželska območja pa gleda kot na organsko celoto.
These areas cover more than 90 per cent of the EU's territory and are home to more than half its population.
Ta območja pokrivajo več kot 90 odstotkov ozemlja EU, na njih pa prebiva več kot polovica prebivalstva.
In 2005, the EU agreed a range of changes to make its rural development policy more potent in the period 2007 to 2013.
EU je leta 2005 sprejela vrsto sprememb, da bi v obdobju 2007–2013 okrepila svojo politiko razvoja podeželja.
A simplied financial structure for rural development policy has cut out enormous administrative diculties of the past.
Poenostavljena finančna struktura politike razvoja podeželja je odpravila ogromne upravne težave, ki so se pojavljale v preteklosti.
At the same time, a new strategic framework is helping to ensure that the policy measures used by the various Member States do not work against each other at EU level, but in harmony.
Obenem nov strateški okvir pomaga zagotavljati, da ukrepi politike, ki jih uporabljajo različne države članice, na ravni EU ne delujejo eden proti drugemu, temveč delujejo usklajeno.
The changes claried the broad aims of the policy, dening them as: boosting the competitiveness of farming and forestry; caring for the countryside and the environment; helping to make a greater range of jobs available; and raising the quality of life in rural areas.
Spremembe so pojasnile široke cilje politike in jih opredelile kot: krepitev konkurenčnosti kmetijstva in gozdarstva, skrb za podeželje in okolje, prispevanje k večjemu obsegu razpoložljivih delovnih mest in izboljševanje kakovosti življenja na podeželskih območjih.
The CAP Health Check
Pregled SKP
By 2007, it was clear that the CAP would benet from a general review, for four reasons.
Do leta 2007 je postalo jasno, da SKP potrebuje splošni pregled, in sicer iz štirih razlogov: in drugim podeželskim podjetjem, da se odzovejo na naslednje preteče izzive: n u l l boj proti
First, we had gained experience of putting into practice the reforms agreed in principle in 2003.
Prvič, pridobili smo izkušnje pri praktičnem izvajanju reform, ki so bile načeloma določene v letu 2003.
Secondly, 12 new Member States had joined the EU, bringing fresh diversity.
Drugič, EU se je pridružilo 12 novih držav članic, ki so prinesle osvežujočo raznolikost.
Thirdly, agricultural markets had continued to develop as globalisation had continued to spread and intensify.
Tretjič, kmetijski trgi so se še naprej razvijali, ko se je globalizacija še naprej širila in krepila.
Fourthly, it was necessary to pay closer attention to developing challenges such as climate change.
Četrtič, nujno se je bilo bolj posvetiti prihajajočim izzivom, kot so podnebne spremembe.
These considerations inspired the CAP Health Check, a package of adjustments agreed in November 2008 which kept the CAP true to the spirit of the 2003 reforms in changing circumstances.
Ti premisleki so bili navdih za pregled SKP, sveženj prilagoditev, ki je bil sprejet novembra 2008 in je v SKP v spremenljivih okoliščinah ohranil duh reform iz leta 2003.
Climate change was high on the agenda for the Health Check discussions.
Podnebne spremembe so bile visoko na dnevnem redu razprav o pregledu.
In separate discussions, EU heads of state and government had agreed that the EU must cut its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 per cent by the year 2020.
Vodje držav EU in vlad so se v ločenih razpravah strinjali, da mora EU do leta 2020 emisije toplogrednih plinov zmanjšati za vsaj 20 odstotkov.
Farmers must help to achieve this goal, while also adapting to the climate change which is already taking place.
Kmetje morajo pomagati pri doseganju tega cilja, hkrati pa se tudi prilagajati podnebnim spremembam, ki se že dogajajo.
a threshold of € 300 000. This finally establishes a "progressive" principle long supported by the public - namely, that farmers who receive high levels of income support from the EU budget should make larger "contributions" to projects of general public interest.
ki ga javnost že dolgo podpira – namreč, da bi morali kmetje, ki prejemajo visoko dohodkovno podporo iz proračuna EU, plačevati večje„prispevke“ za projekte, ki so v splošnem javnem interesu.
Finally, traditional mechanisms for regulating farm prices - such as the temporary buying-up and public storage of produce – are being scaled down so that their inuence is felt only in times of crisis.
Nazadnje, tradicionalni mehanizmi za urejanje kmetijskih cen – na primer začasni odkup in javno skladiščenje pridelkov – se zmanjšujejo, tako da se njihov učinek občuti samo ob krizah.
They are thus a strand in a safety net, not regular price setters.
Zato so le del varovalnih mehanizmov, niso pa običajni mehanizem za določanje cen.
The Health Check has been a hugely valuable exercise in itself. But it also provides signposts for a future in which the CAP will have to develop further.
Pregled je bil sam po sebi nadvse dragocena vaja.Vendar pa zagotavlja tudi smernice za prihodnost, v skladu s katerimi se bo SKP morala razvijati naprej.
(In addition, the EU has also agreed to provide more than € 1 billion of further funding in 2009 and 2010 to help meet the above-mentioned challenges and to strengthen the use of broadband internet connections in rural areas, as part of the European Economic Recovery Plan.)
(EU se je poleg tega tudi strinjala, da bo v letih 2009 in 2010 zagotovila več kot 1 milijardo EUR dodatnih sredstev, da bo v okviru Evropskega načrta za oživitev gospodarstva pomagala odgovarjati na zgoraj navedene izzive in povečati uporabo širokopasovnih internetnih priključkov na podeželskih območjih.)
It seems very likely that, in that future, rural development policy will be an even more vital weapon in our policy armoury for combating a range of challenges.
Zdi se zelo verjetno, da bo v prihodnosti politika razvoja podeželja še bolj bistveno orožje v orožarni naše politike za spopad z vrsto različnih izzivov.
Finding adequate funding to power it will therefore remain an important task.
Iskanje zadostnih sredstev za njeno okrepitev bo tako še naprej pomembna naloga.
In order to make farming even more market-orientated, the Health Check is decoupling a greater share of farmers' income support payments.
Da bi kmetijstvo postalo še bolj tržno usmerjeno, pregled ločuje večji delež izplačil dohodkovne podpore kmetom.
And as a step towards a more even scheme which is less inuenced by historical subsidy receipts, Member States are allowed to adjust the basis on which these payments are shared out within their territory – for example, by averaging out rates of payment per hectare.
Še en korak k enakomernejšemu sistemu, na katerega manj vplivajo pretekli subvencijski prejemki, je, da države članice lahko prilagajajo podlago, na kateri se ta izplačila razdeljujejo znotraj ozemlja – na primer z izplačilom povprečnega zneska na hektar.
At the same time, calls for greater “evenness” in the Single Payment Scheme – not only within Member States but around the EU as a whole – appear to be firmly on the political agenda.
Obenem so očitno pozivi k večji „enakosti“ v shemi enotnih plačil – ne samo znotraj držav članic, temveč znotraj EU kot celote – trdno zasidrani med temami, s katerimi se ukvarja politika.
Finally, the EU is moving strongly away from trying to steer long-term agricultural price developments, and towards using its market instruments as a safety net for times of crisis.
Nazadnje, EU se močno odmika od poskusov, da bi usmerjala dolgoročno oblikovanje kmetijskih cen, in začenja uporabljati svoje tržne instrumente kot varovalke za čase krize.
This evolution will continue.
Ta razvoj se bo nadaljeval.
The Health Check is also removing constraints on farmers’ freedom to produce more in response to market demand.
Pregled hkrati tudi ukinja omejitve svobode kmetov, da bi pridelali več pridelkov zaradi povečanega povpraševanja na trgu.
The requirement to“set aside”a portion of their arable land is abolished, and milk production quotas are being enlarged to prepare for their removal in 2015.
Zahteva, da del svoje obdelovalne zemlje „rezervirajo“, je ukinjena, kvote za proizvodnjo mleka pa se zvišujejo, da se pripravimo na njihovo odpravo v letu 2015.
Part 2: Managing EU policy to the public’s satisfaction
2. del: Upravljanje politike EU na zadovoljstvo javnosti
Part of the work of any politician is to think up and assess new ideas and new solutions to problems.
Del nalog vsakega politika je, da odkriva in ocenjuje nove ideje in rešitve za težave.
But another vital task is to make sure that policy is carried out competently day by day.
Druga bistvena naloga pa je, da zagotavlja vsakdanje odgovorno izvajanje politike.
With regard to the daily workings of the CAP, I believe the public expects three things: n u l l that policy be managed on the basis of
V zvezi z vsakdanjim delovanjem SKP javnost po mojem mnenju pričakuje tri stvari: n u l l da se politika vodi na podlagi
The right principles not shrink from calming the situation with the safety nets at our disposal.
Prava načela pripomočki, ki smo jih imeli na voljo.
For example, we responded quickly when cases of avian inuenza and dioxin contamination shook condence and sent prices falling sharply.
Na primer, hitro smo se odzvali, ko se je zaradi aviarne influence in onesnaženja z dioksinom zmanjšalo zaupanje potrošnikov ter so cene sunkovito padle.
But we avoided laying a constant guiding hand on the market; and we made sure that commodity “mountains”, if they appeared at all, were quickly levelled.
Vendar pa smo se izogibali nenehnemu usmerjanju trga in smo zagotavljali, da so se „gore“ proizvodov, če so se sploh pojavile, hitro izravnale.
For example, from January 2005 to May 2009, we cut EU public cereal stocks from just under 10 million tonnes to well under 2 million tonnes – and changes introduced through the CAP Health Check will enable us to keep firm control of the total in future.
Na primer, od januarja 2005 do maja 2009 smo zmanjšali javne zaloge žita v EU s skoraj 10 milijonov ton na manj kot 2 milijona ton – spremembe, ki smo jih uvedli s pregledom SKP, pa nam bodo omogočale, da bomo skupno količino v prihodnosti strogo nadzorovali.
We also reduced the public wine alcohol stock by about 1 million hectolitres and we abolished any requirement to buy more in the future.
Zmanjšali smo tudi javno zalogo vinskega alkohola za približno 1 milijon hektolitrov in odpravili vse zahteve po vnovičnem nakupu v prihodnosti.
We emptied the public storehouses of skimmed-milk powder in 2006 and butter in 2007 – though in 2009 a very weak market is obliging us to make some purchases.There were no public meat stocks under the Barroso Commission.
Leta 2006 smo izpraznili javna skladišča mleka v prahu, leta 2007 pa javna skladišča masla – čeprav nas v letu 2009 zelo šibak trg sili v nekatere nakupe. Med mandatom Barrosove Komisije ni bilo javnih zalog mesa.
There was a time when, in the public mind at least, the CAP was strongly associated with producing basic commodities on a large scale, whether or not consumers always wanted the quantities involved.
Bili so časi, ko je bila, vsaj v očeh javnosti, SKP močno povezana s proizvodnjo osnovnih proizvodov v velikih količinah, ne glede na to, ali so potrošniki take količine vedno želeli ali ne.
On occasion, the EU had built up sizeable public and private stores of certain commodities – giving rise to colourful phrases such as “the EU butter mountain”, “the EU wine lake” and so forth.
Občasno je EU nagrmadila velike javne in zasebne zaloge določenega blaga – zato so se pojavili slikoviti izrazi, na primer „gora masla EU“, „jezero vina EU“ in tako naprej.
When the Barroso Commission took oce, reforms to the CAP were already taming this problem.
Ko je Barrosova Komisija začela mandat, so se reforme SKP že ukvarjale s to težavo.
But the new rules still gave us considerable room for manoeuvre in use of the EU’s various market instruments – such as public intervention (the temporary buying-up of surplus produce) and export subsidies.
Vendar so nam nova pravila še vedno dajala veliko prostora za uporabo različnih tržnih instrumentov EU – kot so javno posredovanje (začasni odkup presežnih pridelkov) in izvozne subvencije.
Week by week, month by month, we used our market instruments prudently.
Iz tedna v teden in iz meseca v mesec smo naše tržne instrumente preudarno uporabljali. Ko se je pojavila kriza, se nismo izogibali umirjanju razmer z varnostnimi
We controlled stocks in this way without any heavy-handed use of our market instruments.
Tako smo nadzorovali zaloge brez stroge uporabe naših tržnih instrumentov. Od leta 2005 do leta 2009 smo prepolovili izvozno subvencijo za govedino. Maja 2009 nismo podelili izvoznih subvencij za žitarice od septembra 2006 in izvoznih subvencij za sladkor od oktobra 2008.
By 2007, we had cut export subsidy rates to zero for all dairy products, though we temporarily increased them again in 2009 in an effort to bring the market crisis under control.
Do leta 2007 smo izvozne subvencije za vse mlečne izdelke znižali na nič, čeprav smo jih znova začasno povečali leta 2009, da bi prevzeli nadzor nad krizo na trgu.
We also abolished export subsidies for fruit and vegetables and for wine under the reforms of those sectors.
Odpravili smo tudi izvozne subvencije za sadje in zelenjavo ter vino v skladu z reformami za ta sektorja.
Moreover, withdrawals of fruit and vegetables from the EU market fell sharply, and the latest reform accepted by the Council should cement this change.
Poleg tega se je močno zmanjšalo število umikov sadja in zelenjave s trga EU, zadnja reforma, ki jo je sprejel Svet, pa bi morala to spremembo utrditi.
It is highly signicant that we achieved all of this while smoothly integrating 12 new Member States into the EU and its agricultural system - solving occasional problems when they arose and freeing up the potential benets of a larger EU agricultural market.
Zelo pomembno je, da smo vse to dosegli, medtem ko smo nemoteno vključevali 12 novih držav članic v EU in njen kmetijski sistem – pri tem pa reševali občasne težave, ko so se pojavile, in sproščali morebitne koristi večjega kmetijskega trga EU.
Another important step in policy management concerns organic farming.
Naslednji pomembni korak pri vodenju politike zadeva ekološko kmetijstvo.
Since January 2009, new rules have been in place which clearly set out the principles of organic production in all 27 EU Member States, based on harmonised standards.
Od januarja 2009 veljajo nova pravila, ki jasno določajo načela ekološke pridelave v vseh 27 državah članicah EU in temeljijo na usklajenih standardih.
April 2009 saw the launch of a competition to design a new EU organic logo which will be used as of July 2010.
Aprila 2009 se je začel natečaj za oblikovanje novega logotipa EU za ekološke izdelke, ki se bo uporabljal od julija 2010.
Finally, in October 2008 the Commission launched a consultation on all aspects of its agricultural quality policy - including basic farming rules, marketing standards and geographical labels – to reinforce the shift of EU farming towards quality rather than quantity.
Nazadnje, Komisija je oktobra 2008 začela posvetovanja o vseh vidikih svoje politike kmetijske kakovosti – vključno z osnovnimi pravili kmetovanja, tržnimi standardi in geografskimi oznakami – da bi okrepila premik kmetijstva EU proti kakovosti, ne pa količini.
By May 2009 this had inspired an outline of new policy proposals which the next Commission will take forward.
Do maja 2009 je to navdihnilo oris novih političnih predlogov, ki jih bo naprej peljala naslednja Komisija.
In the future even more than now, quality will be EU farmers’ most powerful weapon in the arena of global competition, and the CAP will evolve to reflect this more and more.
V prihodnosti bo kakovost še bolj kot danes najmočnejše orožje kmetov v EU v areni svetovne konkurence, SKP pa se bo razvijala, da bi to čedalje bolj odražala.
For example, the EU overhauled its School Milk Scheme, which encourages children to eat nourishing dairy products by supporting their distribution in schools.
Na primer, EU je natančno pregledala svoj program „mleko za šole“, ki spodbuja otroke k uživanju hranljivih mlečnih izdelkov, tako da podpira njihovo razdeljevanje v šolah.
Previously, high-fat products attracted larger subsidies than low-fat products – which reected a need to find an outlet for excess EU milk fat production.
Prej so izdelki z veliko vsebnostjo maščob dobivali večje subvencije kot izdelki z manjšo vsebnostjo maščobe – kar je odražalo potrebo po iskanju trga za proizvedeno presežno mlečno maščobo.
This has now changed - and to catch children’s interest even more eectively, the Scheme now covers a wider range of products: for example, fruit yoghurts and flavoured cheeses.
To se je zdaj spremenilo – da bi še bolj učinkovito pritegnil zanimanje otrok, program zdaj zajema širši izbor izdelkov: na primer sadne jogurte in aromatizirane sire.
Sound financial management and transparency
Dobro finančno upravljanje in preglednost
We will continue our efforts to iron out errors in all categories of CAP spending – as we will continue to recover money which has been spent in error.
Še naprej si bomo prizadevali, da bi odpravili napake pri vseh kategorijah izdatkov SKP – kot bomo še naprej poskušali izterjati napačno porabljen denar.
While the EU institutions ensure that money from the EU budget is spent correctly, people rightly wish to know on what and on whom the funding - which is in effect their money - is being spent.
Čeprav institucije EU zagotavljajo, da se sredstva iz proračuna EU porabijo pravilno, ljudje upravičeno želijo izvedeti, za kaj in za koga se sredstva – ki so pravzaprav njihov denar– porabljajo.
In March 2008, the EU agreed new rules which have taken transparency on CAP payments to a completely new level.
EU je marca 2008 sprejela nova pravila, ki so preglednost izplačil SKP dvignila na popolnoma novo raven.
Since April 2009, all EU Member States have been required to maintain websites listing beneficiaries of CAP funding.
Vse države članice EU morajo od aprila 2009 vzdrževati spletne strani, na katerih so navedeni vsi prejemniki sredstev SKP.
For each beneficiary, the websites state the full name, the municipality and the value of funding received (divided into three categories of spending).
Za vsakega upravičenca so na spletnih straneh navedeni njegovo polno ime, občina in znesek prejetih sredstev (razdeljen v tri kategorije izdatkov).
