Marine ecosystems perform a number of key environmental functions — they regulate the climate, prevent erosion, accumulate and distribute solar energy, absorb carbon dioxide, and maintain biological control.
Morski ekosistemi imajo številne ključne okoljske funkcije – uravnavajo podnebje, preprečujejo erozijo, kopičijo in oddajajo sončno energijo, vsrkavajo ogljikov dioksid in ohranjajo biološki nadzor.
The seas and oceans are our greatest source of biodiversity.
Morja in oceani so naš največji vir biotske raznovrstnosti.
They cover 71 % of the Earth’s surface and they contain 90 % of the biosphere.The marine environment is also a great contributor to economic prosperity, social well-being and quality of life.
Pokrivajo 71 % zemeljske površine in vsebujejo 90 % biosfere. Morsko okolje veliko prispeva tudi h gospodarski in socialni blaginji ter kakovosti življenja.
It constitutes a fund of resources which can be used to achieve greater economic potential, so its protection is crucial at a time when the European Union is seeking to revitalise its economy.
Je vir sredstev, ki se lahko uporabijo, da bi dosegli večji gospodarski potencial, zato je ključno njegovo varstvo v obdobju, ko želi Evropska unija oživiti svoje gospodarstvo.
The EU’s aim — according to the Lisbon agenda — is to become the world’s most competitive and dynamic knowledge-driven economy by 2010.
Cilj EU – v skladu s programom lizbonske strategije – je, da do leta 2010 postane najbolj konkurenčno in dinamično, na znanju temelječe gospodarstvo na svetu.
Fact 2: Europe’s marine environment is deteriorating fast
Dejstvo 2: Stanje evropskega morskega okolja se hitro slabša
The combined implementation of the water framework directive and of the marine strategy will bridge the gap between environmental protection of inland waters and the open seas.
Skupno izvajanje okvirne direktive o vodah in morske strategije bo odpravilo vrzel med varstvom okolja celinskih voda in odprtih morij.
threats (1) These include loss or degradation of biodiversity and changes in its structures, loss of habitats, contamination from dangerous substances, and the impacts of climate change.In some parts of Europe, the very structures and functions of our seas are being jeopardised.
Morskemu okolju grozijo vedno večje nevarnosti (1).
The Northeast Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea are three of the world’s seven ‘problem’ regions where fish stocks are in greatest need of recovery.
Te vključujejo izgubo ali zmanjšanje biotske raznovrstnosti in spremembe njene strukture, izgubo habitatov, onesnaženje z nevarnimi snovmi in vpliv podnebnih sprememb.
Marine habitats are being destroyed, degraded and disturbed.These threats are caused by pressures from various sea-based activities like oil and gas exploration, dredging and extraction of sand and gravel, shipping, commercial fisheries and tourism.
Morski habitati se uničujejo in propadajo, hkrati pa se tudi posega vanje.Te nevarnosti nastanejo zaradi pritiskov raznih dejavnosti, povezanih z morjem, kot so iskanje nafte in plina, poglabljanje dna ter odstranjevanje peska in gramoza, ladijski promet, gospodarsko ribištvo in turizem.
Meanwhile, land-based activities (agriculture and industry in general) account for 80 % of marine pollution.
Kar 80 % onesnaženja morja nastane zaradi dejavnosti na kopnem (kmetijstvo in industrija na splošno).
These pressures are exacerbated by the increasing impact of climate change.
Te pritiske dodatno zaostruje tudi vedno večji vpliv podnebnih sprememb.
For example, the commercial fish species that require colder waters are now being driven northwards as sea temperatures rise.Urgent efforts are needed to protect Europe’s seas and oceans.
Na primer, gospodarsko pomembne ribje vrste, ki živijo v bolj mrzli vodi, morajo zdaj potovati proti severu, ker se temperatura morja dviga. Zato je treba nujno sprejeti ukrepe za zaščito evropskih morij in oceanov.
The aim is to safeguard the long-term productivity of economic and social activities such as fisheries, maritime transport, agriculture, industry, tourism, and coastal and regional development.
Cilj tega je dolgoročna produktivnost gospodarskih in socialnih dejavnosti, kot so ribištvo, pomorski promet, kmetijstvo, industrija, turizem ter obalni in regionalni razvoj.
Fact 3: The present framework for managing Europe’s marine environment is inadequate
Dejstvo 3: Sedanji okvir za upravljanje evropskega morskega okolja je neustrezen
Many of Europe’s regional seas are the subject of international conventions: for example, the 1992 OSPAR Convention to regulate and control marine pollution in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Helsinki Commission on the protection of the Baltic Sea (Helcom) and the Barcelona Convention on the protection of the Mediterranean Sea.
Za številna evropska regionalna morja veljajo mednarodne konvencije; na primer konvencija OSPAR iz leta 1992 o varnosti morskega okolja severozahodnega Atlantika, Helsinška komisija za varstvo Baltskega morja (Helcom) in Barcelonska konvencija o varstvu Sredozemskega morja.
A number of these have made excellent contributions to marine protection, but they have few enforcement powers.
Veliko teh konvencij je pomembno prispevalo k varstvu morja, vendar imajo zelo malo izvršilnih pooblastil.
This can compromise their effectiveness in achieving agreed goals. At Member State level, progress has also been hampered by the fact that purely national measures cannot influence the activities of other countries
To pa bi lahko ogrozilo njihovo učinkovitost pri doseganju dogovorjenih ciljev.Na ravni držav članic je napredek oviralo dejstvo, da izključno nacionalni ukrepi ne morejo vplivati na dejavnosti drugih držav, ki mejijo na zadevno morsko
(1) The European Commission described these threats in its communication of 2002 entitled ‘Towards a strategy to protect and conserve the marine environment’, COM(2002) 539.
) Evropska komisija je te nevarnosti opisala v Sporočilu iz leta 2002 z naslovom Razvoj strategije za varstvo in ohranjanje morskega okolja, COM(2002) 539.
Stakeholder participation —a key aspect of the marine strategy bordering a given marine area and, at EU level, action to tackle human activities impacting on the maritime environment has been taken sector by sector rather than holistically.
Sodelovanje zainteresiranih strani – ključni vidik morske strategije okolje, na ravni EU pa so bili ukrepi za boj proti človekovim dejavnostim, ki vplivajo na morsko okolje, sprejeti po sektorjih in ne celovito.
Finally, there is a chronic lack of knowledge on the marine environment and on the impact and trends of the main uses, and the information that we do have is too fragmented.
Nenazadnje obstaja stalno pomanjkanje znanja o morskem okolju ter vplivu in razvoju temeljnih načinov uporabe, informacije, ki jih imamo, pa so preveč razdrobljene.
We need to develop a comprehensive knowledge base as a platform for informed policy-making at all levels of governance.
Razviti moramo pregledno bazo znanja, ki bo izhodišče za oblikovanje politike na vseh ravneh upravljanja.
The marine strategy was prepared by the European Commission between 2002 and 2004, with the help of an extensive consultation process involving:
Evropska komisija je pripravila morsko strategijo med letoma 2002 in 2004 z obsežnimi posvetovanji, ki so vključevala:
Fact 4: The EU is determined to protect Europe’s marine environment more effectively
Dejstvo 4: EU je odločena, da bo učinkoviteje varovala evropsko morsko okolje
• all EU Member States and candidate countries;
• vse države �lanice EU in države kan
• key non-EU countries that share oceans and seas with the EU;
• klju �ne države, ki niso �lanice EU ter si z EU delijo oceane in morja;
• 16 international commissions and conventions;
• 16 mednarodnih komisij in konven
• 21 key industry and civil society organisations;
• 21 klju �nih industrijskih in organizacij civilne družbe;
• scientists and academics.
• znanstvenike in akademike.
There were two major stakeholder conferences to open and close the consultation process, in November 2002 (Køge, Denmark) and November 2004 (Rotterdam, the Netherlands).
Organizirani sta bili dve konferenci za zainteresirane strani, in sicer ob začetku postopka posvetovanja in ob njegovem zaključku, potekali pa sta novembra 2002 (Køge, Danska) in novembra 2004 (Rotterdam, Nizozemska).
A public consultation exercise was conducted via the Internet from March to May 2005.
Javno posvetovanje je potekalo prek interneta od marca do maja 2005.
The Commission received 113 responses.
Komisija je prejela 113 prispevkov. Rezultati so na voljo na spletni strani http:// ec.europa.eu/environment/water/ pdf/consultation_marine.pdf.
The preparatory work focused in particular on:
Pripravljalna dela so obravnavala zlasti:
• application of the ecosystembased approach to the management of human activities impacting the marine environment;
• uporabo pristopa, ki temelji na eko
The marine thematic strategy will build upon all the international, EU (2) and national policies which affect the marine environment.
V praksi je ta namenjena doseganju „dobrega okoljskega stanja“ biotske raznovrstnosti morij in ekosistemov, tako da se zagotovi njihovo varstvo in se jim omogoči obnova ter da se ponovno vzpostavitvijo njihove funkcije in strukture.Morska tematska strategija bo temeljila na vseh mednarodnih politikah, politikah EU (2) in nacionalnih politikah, ki vplivajo na morsko okolje.
It will follow an ecosystembased approach, considering all pressures and impacts and relying on the best available scientific knowledge about ecosystems and their dynamics.
Upoštevala bo pristop, ki temelji na ekosistemu, upoštevala pa bo tudi vse pritiske in vplive ter se oprla na najsodobnejša znanstvena spoznanja o ekosistemih in njihovi dinamiki.
It will therefore bridge the current knowledge gap and result in measures specifically targeted at saving Europe’s seas and oceans.
S tem bo odpravila obstoječo vrzel v znanju in prispevala k sprejetju ukrepov, ki bodo posebej namenjeni reševanju evropskih morij in oceanov.
The strategy has identified four regions and eight potential subregions.
Strategija je opredelila štiri regije in osem mogočih podregij.
The marine environment will therefore no longer be managed according to administrative borders, but at the level of environmentally homogeneous regions.
Zato morskega okolja ne bomo več upravljali glede na administrativne meje, ampak na ravni okoljsko homogenih regij.
Within each region, Member States will be required to develop strategies for the waters under their sovereignty or jurisdiction, in close cooperation with one another, and with the non-EU countries concerned.
Države članice bodo morale v tesnem medsebojnem sodelovanju in sodelovanju z zadevnimi državami, ki niso članice EU, v posamezni regiji razviti strategije za vode pod njihovo suverenostjo ali pristojnostjo.
EU Member States already cooperate with non-EU countries under regional conventions, and these can be natural vehicles for cooperation in implementing the EU marine strategy.Marine strategies will be drawn up by the Member States under a legal instrument — a directive — to be adopted by the EU Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.
Države članice EU že sodelujejo z državami, ki niso članice EU, na podlagi regionalnih konvencij, ki lahko služijo kot sredstvo za sodelovanje pri izvajanju morske strategije EU. Države članice bodo pripravile morske strategije na podlagi pravnega instrumenta – direktive – ki ga sprejmeta Svet ministrov EU in Evropski parlament.
When developing their strategies, the Member States will be required to submit key steps to the European Commission for approval.The marine strategy will form the environmental dimension of the future EU maritime policy.
Države članice bodo morale ključne faze priprave svojih strategij predložiti v odobritev Evropski komisiji. Morska strategija bo okoljska razsežnost prihodnje morske politike EU, skupaj pa bosta zagotovili, da bo imela Evropa koristi od dinamičnega morskega gospodarstva, ki ohranja morsko okolje.
Together they will ensure that Europe benefits from a dynamic maritime economy which is in harmony with the marine environment.
sistemih, pri upravljanju človekovih dejavnosti, ki vplivajo na morsko okolje;
• the particular challenge of hazardous substances.
• vprašanja spremljanja in presoje;
Fact 5: The strategy will do much to help the EU economy become more competitive, dynamic and knowledge-driven
Dejstvo 5: Strategija bo znatno prispevala k bolj konkurenčnemu, dinamičnemu in na znanju temelječemu gospodarstvu EU
In addition, the Commission has also paid very close attention over the past three years to reports, studies and policy statements from national and regional organisations, countries, research institutes and United Nations bodies concerned with protection of the marine environment.
Poleg tega je Komisija v zadnjih treh letih namenila zelo veliko pozornosti poročilom, študijam ter političnim izjavam nacionalnih in regionalnih organizacij, držav, raziskovalnih ustanov in organov Združenih narodov, ki se ukvarjajo z varstvom morskega okolja.
First and foremost, the strategy will reverse the current deterioration of the marine environment — by taking action!
Morska strategija vzpostavlja mehanizme, ki bodo zagotovili stalno sodelovanje zainteresiranih strani in pregleden postopek poročanja.
This will offset the serious human, environmental and economic costs of failing to take action to save Europe’s seas and oceans — the costs of non-action.
S tem bodo preprečene hude posledice za človeka, okolje in gospodarstvo, ki bi nastale zaradi neizvajanja ukrepov za zaščito evropskih morij in oceanov.
The impact of nonaction on human health would be enormous.
Neukrepanje bi zelo škodljivo vplivalo na zdravje ljudi.
Health is threatened by the
Pozitivno bo delovala na eko-
(2) Other EU policies that will contribute to the marine strategy include fisheries, agriculture, transport, industry, employment, regional development, external relations, and development cooperation.
) Druge politike EU, ki bodo prispevale k morski strategiji, so ribištvo, kmetijstvo, promet, industrija, zaposlovanje, regionalni razvoj, zunanji odnosi in razvojno sodelovanje.
Second, the strategy will sustain the future of marine industries by effectively protecting the resource base on which they depend.
- C loški turizem, omogočila pa bo tudi ponovno odprtje nekdaj onesnaženih kopališč.
The key sector of tourism would strongly benefit from the strategy.
Pomagala bo tudi, da se zaščitijo populacije gospodarsko pomembnih ribjih vrst, sposobnih za reprodukcijo, in s tem tudi od njih odvisna industrija in prebivalstvo.
It will have a positive impact on eco-tourism and should allow formerly polluted bathing sites to reopen.
Koristi je mogoče pričakovati tudi za širši obalni razvoj, ki bo pozitivno vplival na druge sektorje.
The strategy will also help safeguard productive populations of commercial fish species, thus safeguarding the industries and populations that depend on them.
Tretjič, odpirale se bodo nove gospodarske priložnosti.
Benefits can also be expected for broader coastal development, which in turn will have a positive impact on other sectors.Third, there will be new economic opportunities.
Strategija mora biti koristna tudi za znanstvene raziskave, zlasti na področju biotehnologije.
The study of marine species should result in potential applications for medicine, pharmacology, food production, agrichemicals, industrial innovation, environmental remediation, and cosmetics.
Študija morskih vrst mora biti potencialno uporabna za medicino, farmakologijo, proizvodnjo hrane, agrokemikalije, industrijske inovacije, sanacijo okolja in kozmetiko.
It will also expand our basic scientific knowledge.
Razširila bo tudi naše osnovno znanstveno znanje.
Finally, the strategy will bring significant benefits and efficiency gains for marine-related industries.
Končno, strategija bo zelo koristna tudi za industrije, povezane z morjem, povečala pa bo tudi njihovo učinkovitost.
Improved assessment and monitoring systems should help them plan their future investments efficiently and identify appropriate development sites.
Izboljšani sistemi presoje in spremljanja bi jim morali pomagati pri učinkovitem načrtovanju prihodnjih naložb in iskanju lokacij, ki omogočajo razvoj.
Fact 6: The strategy will allow the EU to play a leading role in global marine governance
Dejstvo 6: Strategija bo omogočila EU vodilno vlogo pri globalnem upravljanju morja
The development and implementation of the strategy will boost the EU’s pro-fi file and credibility on marine issues at international level.
Razvoj in izvajanje strategije bosta spodbudila prepoznavnost in verodostojnost EU pri morskih vprašanjih na mednarodni ravni.
It will enable the EU to fulfil its obligations under international agreements.
To bo EU omogočilo, da izpolni svoje obveznosti iz mednarodnih sporazumov.
It will also improve the EU’s contribution to globally agreed targets.
Izboljšal se bo tudi prispevek EU k ciljem, dogovorjenim na svetovni ravni.
This in turn will increase the EU’s ability to persuade partners to improve global governance of the marine environment, in particular in the highly sensitive areas of conservation and use of deep-water resources.The EU will continue to take the lead in the framework of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity by implementing decisions to halt the loss of biodiversity globally.
S tem se bo povečala sposobnost EU, da partnerje prepriča v izboljšanje globalnega upravljanja z morskim okoljem, zlasti na zelo občutljivih področjih ohranjanja in rabe globokomorskih virov. EU bo imela še naprej vodilno vlogo pri Konvenciji ZN o biološki raznovrstnosti, ker bo izvajala odločitve o zaustavitvi upadanja biotske raznovrstnosti na svetovni ravni.
The Commission will push for more sustainable fisheries agreements with developing countries under the common fisheries policy.
Komisija si bo prizadevala za bolj trajnostne sporazume o ribolovu z državami v razvoju v skladu s skupno ribiško politiko.
Meanwhile, EU development cooperation policy remains essential to help them protect, conserve and sustainably exploit their own marine resources.
Politika razvojnega sodelovanja EU pa ostaja še naprej bistvena, ko gre za pomoč omenjenim državam pri varstvu, ohranjanju in trajnostnem izkoriščanju njihovih morskih virov.

Key facts you should know about soil
Ključni podatki o tleh
Fact 1: Soil is a key, largely non-renewable and very complex natural resource and yet it is increasingly damaged by certain human practices.
Tla sestavljajo najbolj zunanjo plast našega planeta, sestavljena so iz skal, preperelih rastlin in živali.
Soil makes up the outermost layer of our planet and is formed from rocks and decaying plants and animals.
Dejstvo št. 1: Tla so kompleksen naravni vir ključnega pomena, ki ni obnovljiv, pa vendar mu določeno ravnanje človeka vse bolj škoduje.
They are now going through the EU decision-making process (EU Council of Ministers, European Parliament, etc.) in view of being implemented by the Member States.
Tla vsebujejo različno količino organskih snovi (odvisno od razkroja živih organizmov), mineralov in hranil.
An average soil sample is 45 % minerals, 25 % water, 25 % air and 5 % organic matter.
V povprečnem vzorcu tal je 45 % mineralov, 25 % vode, 25 % zraka in 5 % organskih snovi.
Fact 2: EU law does not address all the threats in a comprehensive way and not all Member States have specific legislation on soil protection.
Mineralni delci različnih velikosti, kot so pesek, mulj in glina, dajejo tlom njihovo strukturo.
Ten tonnes of topsoil spread evenly over a hectare is only as thick as a one Euro coin.
Sloj 10 ton vrhnje plasti tal, ki bi jih enakomerno nanesli na hektar zemlje, je debel le toliko kot kovanec evra.
Natural processes can take more than 500 years to form two centimetres of topsoil.
Naravni procesi lahko trajajo več kot 500 let, da ustvarijo dva centimetra vrhnje plasti tal.
In some cases, five tonnes of animal life can live in one hectare of soil.
Ponekod lahko 5 ton živali živi na enem hektaru tal.
Earthworms digest organic matter, recycle nutrients and make the surface soil richer.
Deževniki prebavijo organske snovi, reciklirajo hranila in tako obogatijo površinsko plast tal.
They look at pressures and impacts which often cut across those themes.
Korenine razrahljajo tla in omogočijo dostop kisika. To koristi živalim, ki živijo v tleh.
They also take a long-term perspective, setting the framework for EU and Member State action for the next two decades.
Prav tako držijo tla skupaj in preprečujejo erozijo.
Soil is the fragile, friable layer of the earth’s crust that covers the continents, between the surface and the bedrock.
Tla so ranljiva, krhka plast zemeljskega plašča, ki pokriva celine, med površjem in trdno podlago.
It is formed by mineral particles, organic matter, water, air and living organisms.
Sestavljena so iz mineralnih delcev, organskih snovi, vode, zraka in živih organizmov.
It is the interface between earth, air and water and hosts most of the biosphere.
Povezujejo zemljo, zrak in vodo ter gostijo večino biosfere.
Soil provides us with food, biomass and raw materials, serves as a platform for human activities, our landscape and our heritage and plays a central role as a habitat and gene pool.
Tla nas preskrbujejo s hrano, biomaso in surovinami, služijo kot osnovna podlaga za človeške dejavnosti, našo pokrajino in našo dediščino ter igrajo poglavitno vlogo kot habitat in genski sklad.
It stores, filters and transforms substances such as water, nutrients and carbon.
Skladiščijo, ltrirajo in preoblikujejo snovi, kot so voda, hranilne snovi in ogljik.
