Solidarnostni sklad in preprečevanje nevarnosti nalna nesreča“.
(An overview of all applications received by September 2004 is given in the table on page 10.) although disasters occurring in more central regions need particularly serious reasons to qualify.
Ena sama nesreča, in sicer razlitje nafte iz tankerja Prestige, ni bila naravna nesreča.
An analysis of the requests soon showed that certain key notions of the regulation required interpretation to be applicable in practice.
Pregled zahtev je pokazal, da potrebuje Uredba dodatna pojasnila, da bi jo lahko izvajali v praksi.
In its report published earlier this year (5), the Commission gave a full account of the different issues and described the principles developed to guarantee equal and consistent treatment of applications.
Evropska komisija je v svojem poročilu, objavljenem leta 20045
Only if all these conditions are met are disasters considered to be extraordinary because they exceed by their nature or size in terms of damage or by their impact on the region concerned what could reasonably be expected to happen.
Da bi lahko nesrečo opredelili kot „izredno“, morajo biti izpolnjeni vsi zgoraj našteti pogoji. Naravna nesreča mora torej z obsegom povzročene škode ali z vplivom na regijo presegati posledice, ki bi jih smeli pričakovali.
The Commission found that only six of the relevant applications received between November 2002 and September 2004 met these criteria and consequently proposed the mobilisation of the Fund.
Evropska komisija je med decembrom 2002 in septembrom 2004 ugotovila, da samo šest zahtev izpolnjuje dane kriterije. Zanje je predlagala uporabo sredstev iz Sklada.
Five others had to be rejected.
Štiri zahteve pa je zavrnila.

Most difficulties arose from requests for exceptional mobilisation of the Fund under the extraordinary regional disaster criterion, which is subject to three conditions: (i) disasters must be ‘mainly’ natural; (ii) the major part of the disaster-stricken region’s population must be affected; and (iii) serious and lasting repercussions on living conditions and the economic stability of the region must be demonstrated.
Večina težav izhaja iz zahtev po izjemni višini sredstev iz Sklada zaradi regionalnih nesreč. Pozitiven odgovor je odvisen od treh pogojev: (1) nesreča mora biti „v glavnem“ naravna; (2) prizadet mora biti večji del prebivalstva regije; in (3) obstajati morajo resne in trajne posledice za življenjske pogoje in ekonomsko stabilnost.
Lastly, the regulation calls for particular focus to be placed on remote and isolated regions.
Uredba poudarja, da je posebno pozornost treba nameniti oddaljenim in izoliranim območjem.
A number of issues arise from these criteria.
Ti kriteriji za prosilce včasih pomenijo težavo.
The applicant must, in particular, provide a precise indication of the affected region, including the number of its resident population.
Država mora namreč predložiti natančen opis prizadetega območja in prebivalstva, ki tam živi.
It must show that at least 50 % of that population have suffered personal damage or serious disadvantages from the disaster.
Dokazati mora, da je vsaj 50 % prebivalcev imelo osebno škodo ali pa utrpelo resno škodo, ki izhaja iz nesreče.
While there is no need to respect administrative boundaries (disasters do not do this either), the affected region must be contiguous.
Kljub temu ni treba spoštovati administrativnih meja območij (ker jih tudi nesreče ne), mora pa biti prizadeta dežela vsaj v neposredni bližini.
Cumulating several dispersed events is therefore not allowed.
Seštevek geografsko razpršenih dogodkov se ne upošteva.
Also, given the underlying rationale of the Fund, the affected area or population must be significant in national terms.
Prizadeto območje oz. število prebivalstvo mora biti z nacionalnega vidika pomembno.
This excludes purely local events to which the criteria of economic stability cannot be applied in a meaningful manner.
To izključuje zgolj lokalne dogodke, pri katerih ne moremo dobesedno upoštevati kriterija ekonomske stabilnosti.
Lasting provisional housing, unavailability of infrastructures (water, energy, major transport infrastructures, telecommunications, etc.) or long-term health hazards must be demonstrated to show the negative effects on living conditions, with the expectation that these will last for close to one year.
Dokazati je treba negativni vpliv na življenjske pogoje, kot so dolgotrajna začasna bivališča, nemožnost dostopa do osnovne infrastrukture (voda, energija, glavne transportne infrastrukture, telekomunikacije itd.) in trajno tveganje za zdravje.
Isolation or remoteness of the affected region is not a condition in itself,
Ta negativni vpliv mora trajati dalj časa, vendar ne dlje kot eno leto.

Where do we go from here?
Kaj pa jutri?
In its report of 26 May 2004, the Commission concluded that after not even two years of experience it was too early to make a final judgment about the functioning of the Fund. It was therefore, and notwithstanding a number of issues that have already been identified, too early to propose any substantial modifications to the regulation at this stage.
Evropska komisija je v svojem poročilu z dne 26. maja 2004 zapisala, da je po manj kot dveh letih delovanja nemogoče dokončno oceniti delo Sklada in predlagati spremembe Uredbe, razen v primeru že ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti.
The purpose and concept behind the Solidarity Fund was the desire for the Union to create an instrument demonstrating financial solidarity with Member States and candidate countries should they become the victims of disasters of such unusual proportions that their own capacity to cope with them is stretched to the limit.
Namen in zasnova Solidarnostnega sklada sta skladna z željo Evropske unije, da bi pomagala državam članicam in državam kandidatkam, ki so žrtve obsežnih naravnih nesreč in si same ne morejo pomagati.
It is under these circumstances — reflecting the principle of subsidiarity — that the Member States were prepared to raise financial resources over and above the normal Community budget.
Pod takimi pogoji in v duhu solidarnosti so se države članice odločile, da mobilizirajo finančna sredstva neodvisno od proračuna Unije.
The five cases since 2002 where the Solidarity Fund was mobilised for major disasters have demonstrated that it is effective and fulfils its purpose.
Jasno je, da Solidarnostni sklad in drugi instrumenti Unije ne zadoščajo za primerno ukrepanje ob vseh možnih krizah, ki zahtevajo posredovanje Evrope.
Nevertheless, a number of administrative improvements and further streamlining of the budgetary procedure might allow actual payments of the aid to be made even more quickly.
Taki primeri bi lahko bili teroristični napadi, večje tehnološke nesreče ali grožnje za javno zdravje.
On the other hand, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Solidarity Fund and a number of other Community instruments currently available may not suffice for the Union to respond in an appropriate way to all possible major crisis situations where action at European level might be desirable.
Pet projektov pomoči, ki so prejeli denar iz Solidarnostnega sklada od leta 2002 dalje, kaže na učinkovitost tega instrumenta.
Such situations could, for example, include terrorist attacks, major technological accidents or public health threats.
Potrebno je izboljšati nekaj administrativnih zadev in racionalizirati proračunski postopek, da bi lahko še pospešili izplačevanje pomoči.
For those cases that did not fall within the main scope of the Fund, the judgment is less clear-cut.
V prihodnje je treba še dodelati podrobnosti tistih primerov, ki ne sodijo na področje delovanja Sklada.
Reflections of this nature have led the Commission to include in its communication on the financial perspectives for the 2007–13 period (6) a proposal to bring together the various existing actions and instruments at European level with a number of new or complementary initiatives under a single solidarity and rapid reaction instrument.
Zahteve po pomoči Sklada za naravne nesreče so v veliki večini manjšega obsega, se pravi, da ne presegajo zahtevanega praga „velikih nesreč“.
This will permit a common approach to emergency situations and will provide citizens with a European response in the event of major disasters.
Zato je bilo ocenjevanje speci- f i fičnih kriterijev včasih težavno in je podaljševalo roke.
Applications to mobilise the Fund for disasters below the ‘major disaster’ threshold proved to be the majority rather than the exception and assessing the specific criteria for such cases was sometimes difficult and time consuming.
Spričo takih razmišljanj je Evropska komisija vključila v svoje sporočilo o finančnih perspektivah za obdobje 2007–20135 tudi predlog, da bi obstoječe aktivnosti in instrumente združili na evropski ravni, skupaj z novimi oz. dodatnimi pobudami v okviru Instrumenta za solidarnost in hitro ukrepanje.
In spite of these weaknesses and certain criticisms from the Council that the criteria were not applied sufficiently strictly, it can still be concluded that also for the exceptional cases the Fund has worked satisfactorily overall.
Ta naj bi omogočil skupni pristop v nujnih primerih in bi prebivalcem zagotavljal skupni evropski odziv v primeru večje nesreče. Instrument bi omogočil nastajanje novih skladov, na primer za pomoč žrtvam terorizma.
However, the most recent applications point towards a growing tendency to apply for aid even for very small disasters in spite of the clear messages about the limits of the Fund.
Zagotavljal bi pomoč civilni zaščiti in ukrepe pri krizah zdravstvenega značaja, kakor tudi pri posledicah drugih naravnih nesreč. Delo se je šele začelo …
Whether this will require any legislative consequences remains to be seen.
Navkljub tem pomanjkljivostim in nekaterim kritikam Sveta o pomanjkanju strogosti pri uresničevanju kriterijev, lahko zaključimo, da je Sklad, tudi v izjemnih primerih, deloval zadovoljivo.

The Solidarity Fund in Saxony (Germany)
Solidarnostni sklad na Saškem (Nemčija)
Saxony’s rapid recovery from the devastating effects of the August 2002 floods is a particularly good illustration of the European Union Solidarity Fund’s fundamental aim of facilitating technical and social infrastructure reconstruction as quickly as possible following a natural disaster.
Hitra sanacija na Saškem, ki so jo poplave avgusta leta 2002 najbolj prizadele, še posebej dobro ponazarja cilj Solidarnostnega sklada: olajšanje rekonstrukcije tehnične in socialne infrastrukture v najkrajšem času.

businesses employing some 100 000 people suffered water damage that in some cases caused serious and long-lasting problems.
Med 10. in 19. avgustom 2002 so močne padavine, predvsem v zgornjem toku Labe in njenih pritokov, povzročile strašno naraščanje vode uničevalnih razsežnosti, kakršnega do tedaj v Nemčiji niso poznali.
The Land of Saxony was hit particularly hard. On 12 August, vast quantities of water — in places reaching volumes of over 400 ml per m2in the space of 24 hours — swelled the tributaries of the Elbe flowing through the Erzgebirge mountains.
Padavine so 12. avgusta na določenih mestih dosegle več kot 400 ml na m2 v času 24 ur in so tako povečale pritoke Labe, da so vode prestopile bregove v Češkem rudogorju.
Violent torrents then raced through the narrow mountain valleys picking up everything in their wake.
Hudourniške vode so si utrle pot skozi ozke doline masiva in odnašale pred seboj vse, kar jim je bilo na poti.
Five days later, the waters of the Elbe rose again due to the build-up of water gushing into it from Czech and German tributaries.
Pet dni kasneje je sledil novi val deževja.
On 17 August, in the capital of Saxony, Dresden, it reached a record height of 9.4 m — some 70 cm above the previous highest recorded level. Dresden was the town hardest hit by the floods. floods.
Laba je zaradi svojih številnih čeških in nemških pritokov 17. avgusta v Dresdnu dosegla zgodovinsko rekordno mejo 9,40 m in tako za približno 70 cm presegla do tedaj najvišji zabeleženi nivo v Saški prestolnici, mestu, ki so ga poplave najbolj prizadele.
In all, there were more than 100 000 declared losses in Saxony, the total amount of declared damage amounting to approximately EUR 8.7 billion.
Več kot 100 000 poškodb so našteli samo na Saškem. Znesek škode znaša približno 8,7 milijarde eurov.
Approximately EUR 1 billion was financed by private means, such as compensation from insurance companies, a number of charities and the private funds of the people affected.
Milijardo eurov so pokrili z zasebnimi sredstvi, kot so povračila zavarovalnic, donacije in lastna sredstva.
The remaining EUR 5.75 billion was financed from public coffers: some EUR 4.8 billion from the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) and Germany’s own Aid for Reconstruction Fund.
5,75 milijarde eurov so priskrbele javne institucije: 4,8 milijarde eurov sta dala Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije in nemški Sklad za pomoč pri rekonstrukciji.
Over the next few years, Saxony and the municipalities affected will have to provide about EUR 950 million just for the repair of damaged infrastructures, in order to remove all trace of the disaster.
Saška in njene oškodovane občine bodo morale v prihodnjih letih dodati okrog 950 milijonov eurov samo za popravilo infrastrukture, da bi lahko popolnoma izbrisali sledove naravne nesreče.
The most dramatic consequence of this disaster in Saxony was the death of 20 people who drowned in the raging waters.
Poplave so terjale tudi človeške žrtve. Voda je odnesla 20 oseb.
About two thirds of Saxony was flooded and some 25 000 homes were damaged, with 400 totally destroyed; 740 km of roads, 466 bridges and 20 % of the rail network were damaged or destroyed.
Približno dve tretjini ozemlja je bilo poplavljenega. Okoli 25 000 bivališč je bilo poškodovanih, od tega 400 popolnoma uničenih.
About 10 % of Saxony’s hospitals had to be evacuated due to flooding.
Poškodovano ali uničeno je bilo približno 740 km cest, 466 mostov in 20 % saške železniške mreže.
Also affected were 280 care institutes, including homes for the elderly and the disabled.
Okrog 10 % bolnišnic so evakuirali zaradi poplav, ki so prizadele tudi 280 stavb, med drugim domove za ostarele, domove za prizadete itd.
The waters caused serious damage to many monuments and cultural buildings, such as Dresden’s famous Zwinger or Semperoper.
Voda je močno poškodovala kulturne spomenike in zgradbe, kot sta slavna Semprova opera in Zwinger v Dresdnu.

The Solidarity Fund and risk prevention was to assist the populations in the most seriously affected areas and reopen roads to them.
Solidarnostni sklad in preprečevanje nevarnosti bilance so upoštevali samo neposredno škodo, ki so jo povzročile poplave, kot na primer uničenje bivališč, podjetij ali infrastrukture.
Initially, this required the provisional reconstruction of many roads that had been literally swept away by the floods, as well as bridges and water and gas pipelines.
Niso upoštevali posredne škode, kot je izguba dohodka, ker je to zelo težko določiti. Z oceno škode so se ukvarjali strokovnjaki iz Nemčije in tujine.
shelter during and after the disaster. Finally, the EUSF financed immediate action designed to remove the damage caused by the waters: cleaning up, clearing of debris, removal of earth deposited by the waters.
Evropska komisija se je 11. decembra 2002 odločila, da dodeli Nemčiji pomoč Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije v višini 444 milijonov eurov.
These are all vital for an initial repair of destroyed infrastructures.
Soglasje sta Evropska komisija in država članica podpisali že naslednjega dne.
It was also important to determine accurately the extent of the destruction.
Hitro sprejemanje različnih zaščitnih ukrepov, včasih že v času same naravne nesreče, kot so čiščenje naplavin in obnova (vse to je bilo v večjem delu financirano iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije), je Saški zagotovilo omejitev škode, ki jo je povzročila narasla voda.
This required establishing common criteria to serve as a basis for assessing the damage caused and the cost of permanent reconstruction.
Odstranjevanje naplavin in zemlje je na primer preprečilo nastajanje bolezni.
Only damage caused directly by the flooding, such as the destruction of homes, companies and infrastructure, was included in these calculations.
Hiter odziv je omogočil tudi dostop po cesti in drugih poteh do najbolj poškodovanih krajev, ki so se nahajali v srcu dolin, prepredenih s pritoki reke Labe v Češkem rudogorju.
Indirect damage, such as loss of earnings by a company, was excluded as it was extremely difficult to quantify.
Priključitev na javni vodovod in plinovod so izpeljali v samo nekaj tednih.
A wide range of experts from throughout Germany and beyond were recruited to assess the direct damage.
V nekaj mesecih pa so odpravili škodo na kulturnih in zgodovinskih stavbah, ki so lahko tako ponovno sprejemale obiskovalce.
The remaining 40 % of European financial aid granted to Saxony was allocated to immediate measures to remove all imminent danger, to restore totally destroyed infrastructures — road and river as well as social and sanitary — and to protect the cultural heritage.
Glede na federalno ureditev Nemčije so za porabo sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije odgovorne zvezne deželne oblasti.
The salvage operations on Dresden’s Theaterplatz, the site of such prestigious buildings as the Semperoper, the Zwinger and the Taschenberg Palace, are a good example of this.
Na Saškem so se v izvedbo vključile tri administrativne ravni, pod vodstvom Urada za obnovo, ki spada pod saško deželno pisarno.
On 12 August, this magnificent riverfront had fallen victim to the waters of the Weißeritz that submerged it in an instant.
Poslanstvo te službe, ki je vodila koordinacijo in organizacijo finančnih pomoči na različnih ravneh, je bilo:
On 11 December 2002, the European Commission decided to grant Germany total aid of EUR 444 million from the EUSF to co-finance emergency aid measures implemented during the August 2002 floods.
> doreči praktične podrobnosti z zvezno vlado in Evropsko komisijo; > določiti načine in postopke; > rešiti probleme izvedbe s specifičnimi strokovnimi oddelki in službami, ki so odgovorni za dodelitev pomoči. Cilj saške vlade je bil odpraviti kar največ škode do konca leta 2004.
The agreement to apply this decision was signed the next day by the European Commission and Member State.
Obnovitvena dela so zajemala tudi trajno rekonstrukcijo, ki bi lahko zmanjšala škodo v primeru novih poplav.
Under Germany’s federal structure, the federal authorities as well as the affected Länder are responsible for using EUSF aid.
Temu so prilagodili tudi deželno zakonodajo, kot na primer saški zakon o vodah.
In the Land of Saxony itself, three administrative levels were involved in implementing the Solidarity Fund, coordinated by the Reconstruction Unit of the Saxony Chancellery. The main tasks of this unit were:
Danes, dve leti po strašnih dogodkih, lahko z gotovostjo trdimo, da bo cilj dosežen.
By taking extremely rapid protective, clearing and repair measures, sometimes during the disaster itself and mostly financed by the EUSF, Saxony was able to limit the damage.
Taka učinkovitost, upoštevaje obseg škode, ni sama po sebi umevna.
In particular, the diligence shown in the clean-up operations prevented the outbreak of disease.
Pomoč, ki jo je nudil Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije, je gotovo odigrala odločilno vlogo.
This prompt action also meant that within just a few days access was restored by road and other public routes to the stricken areas, most of them lying at the heart of valleys lying deep in the Erzgebirge mountains through which the tributaries of the Elbe flow.
V tem primeru je pravilo, ki zahteva porabo sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije v roku enega leta, vsekakor vplivalo na hitrost izvedbe ukrepov rekonstrukcije na Saškem in drugod.
> to sort out practical details with the federal State and European Commission; > to define procedures; > to resolve problems of implementation with the spe-cifi c departments responsible and services charged with granting the aid. Actual implementation fell to the various ministries, the task of which consisted mainly of organising the technical aspects of the measures financed and ensuring the administration and financial control of the EUSF intervention.
Z izvedbo intervencije so se ukvarjala različna ministrstva. Njihova naloga je bila predvsem konkretizirati finančne ukrepe na podlagi tehničnega plana in zagotoviti finančni in administrativni nadzor nad sredstvi iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije.
The Saxony Government had set itself a goal of repairing as much as possible of the damage caused by the 2002 floods by the end of 2004.
Neodvisna organizacija, ki jo je izbralo saško ministrstvo za finance, je potrdila, da so bila sredstva porabljena korektno.
The repair work also had to be designed in order to reduce to a minimum any damage in the event of future flooding.
Preverila je, da so upravičenci do subvencije in službe, zadolžene za njeno dodelitev, pravilno uporabili pomoč, skladno z določenimi cilji.
Regional regulations, such as the law on water, were amended to this end.
Dolgotrajne izkušnje različnih služb pri vodenju strukturnih skladov so omogočile učinkovito uresničitev nalog.
Today, two years after the terrible events of August 2002, one can safely say that this objective will be achieved.
Od 265 milijonov eurov je bilo 60 % dodeljenih financiranju zaščitnih ukrepov in za boj proti poplavam.
Given the scale of the damage, this was certainly not a foregone conclusion.
Šlo je za fi nan-ciranje intervencij prve pomoči.
The support of the EUSF played a decisive role, in material terms and in terms of the speed at which the repairs were carried out.
Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije je omogočil tudi evakuacijo in začasno nastanitev prebivalcev, njihovo zdravljenje in kritje medicinskih stroškov med naravno nesrečo in po njej.
