The value of such a formal and tripartite approach is to contribute decisively to the objectives of coherence and e ectiveness in the area of Union external action. The European Parliament endorsed this approach in resolutions of 17 November and 15 December.
Poleg same humanitarne pomoči se je Skupnost na začetku leta odločila, da v letih 2005 in 2006 podaljša izvajanje posebnega programa, ki ga že več let izvaja za pomoč osebam, ki so prisiljene zapustiti svoje domove v Latinski Ameriki in Aziji (2).
It is also important to underline the contribution to the development policy review process of the 10 Member States which joined the European Union on 1 May 2004.
Skupnost je potrdila tudi obveznosti, sprejete septembra na vrhu Združenih narodov (glej zgoraj), da po potrebi nadalje razvije in izboljša mehanizme izvajanja načrtov za takojšen odziv pod okriljem Združenih narodov.
Millennium development goals (MDGs)
Glavne dejavnosti humanitarne pomoči
The eight millennium development goals (MDGs) set out in the declaration, which have become the focus of international development cooperation, aim to: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;achieve universal primary education;
Glavne dejavnosti, za katere so se dodelila sredstva, so prikazane v razpredelnici 2.
Although the hopes and expectations with regard to the results of the meeting were only partly fulfilled, the European Union was actively involved in the preparation and the running of the summit as a leading world partner.

On 12 April the Commission presented a package of three communications to speed up progress towards the MDGs:
Nove neodvisne države (kavkaške države, Tadžikistan)
• the rst communication takes stock of the Union’s contribution towards development, which is considered as substantial, and identifies new measures to further enhance its action (1
Azija Azija (razen območja, ki ga je prizadel cunami) Azija (območje, ki ga je prizadel cunami)
These areas include trade, the environment, security, agriculture and sheries (3).
Tehnična pomoč (strokovnjaki in predplačila)
On 15 June the Commission also presented a communication on all the issues discussed at the summit (4
Dipecho – Operativna podpora in preprečevanje nesreč
For its part, on 24 May the Council set out the position that the Union would be taking at the summit and reiterated its rm commitment to implementing the MDGs.
Zato je treba prizadevanja usmeriti v ključne sektorje, v katerih ima EU osrednjo vlogo pri vodenju mednarodne dejavnosti.
Moreover, contributing to poverty reduction by attaining the MDGs was also the subject of several resolutions adopted by the European Parliament.
Na temelju tega pristopa je EU oblikovala dolgoročno globalno strategijo za Afriko.
In 2005 European Union nancial aid to developing countries as a whole amounted to EUR 7.5 billion.
Predlagala je strateško partnerstvo za varnost in razvoj med Evropsko unijo in Afriko za naslednje desetletje.
As regards the implementation of this aid, the completion of the process of devolution of responsibilities to the Commission delegations accredited to the beneficiary countries, which has been gradually achieved over the past three years, has indisputably led to swifter and more e cient management of the projects nanced by the Union.
Med temi predlogi sta tudi dve ključni pobudi: pobuda v zvezi z upravljanjem: na tem področju bi morala EU zlasti podpreti reforme, predlagane v okviru „afriškega mehanizma medsebojnega ocenjevanja“, ki je edinstveno sredstvo za medsebojno ocenjevanje in vzajemno učenje dobrega demokratičnega upravljanja s strani Afričanov in za Afričane; pobuda v zvezi z infrastrukturo: na tem področju bi EU zagotovila posebno podporo za programe, ki omogočajo povezanost na ravni celine za spodbujanje regionalne trgovine, povezovanja, stabilnosti in razvoja.
On 14 December the European Parliament and the Council laid down rules on access to Community external aid which seek to further untie aid in line with the approach advocated since 2001 in the various international forums (2).
Strateško partnerstvo z Afriko, ki sta ga novembra podprla Evropski parlament in Svet, je decembra sprejel Evropski svet.
Other arrangements were set out in detail in a Council regulation of 21 November (3).
Ta je poudaril pomen političnega dialoga med Evropsko unijo in Afriko ter se strinjal, da bo od leta 2006 redno ocenjeval doseženi napredek pri izvajanju te strategije.
More generally, 2005 represented a decisive step for the Union in terms of international commitments on nancial aid.
EU je zaradi bolj perečih gospodarskih težav posebno pozornost še naprej namenjala kriznim razmeram v različnih afriških državah.
New impetus was given to achieving the UN target of a ratio of 0.7 % between o cial development assistance (ODA) and gross national income (GNI) by 2015.
Zato je med letom večkrat proučila razmere v regiji afriških Velikih jezer.
To this end, on 24 May, in line with a guideline advocated by the Commission, the Council set a new collective target for the Union: to bring the ratio, which currently stands at 0.35 %, to 0.56 % by 2010, as an intermediate step, i.e. an additional ODA amount of EUR 20 billion a year.
Prav tako si je z ukrepi svojih institucij še naprej prizadevala za rešitev konflikta v sudanski pokrajini Darfur.
The increase takes account of the di erences between old and new Member States, the latter being required to provide a lower contribution during a transition period.
Morala pa je sprejeti tudi omejevalne ukrepe za države (Slonokoščena obala, Demokratična republika Kongo, Sudan, Zimbabve), v katerih je mednarodna skupnost ugotovila in obsodila kršitev človekovih pravic ter nespoštovanje demokracije in pravne države, ter s temi državami delno prekiniti sodelovanje. Ti ukrepi so bili sprejeti v splošnem okviru skupne
As regards implementation, the same Council conclusions call for better procedures, mechanisms and instruments for policy coherence at Council, Commission and Member State level.
Partnerski sporazum, podpisan 23. junija 2000 (1) v Cotonouju, med Skupnostjo in 77 afriškimi, karibskimi in pacifiškimi državami (AKP), ki je nadomestil zaporedne konvencije iz Loméja, je sklenjen za obdobje 20 let.
The Council will assess how to enhance the e ective integration of development issues into the work of sectoral groups within the Council.
Vsebuje klavzulo, ki omogoča izvedbo vmesnih pregledov vsakih pet let.
The Commission is requested to strengthen in particular its impact assessment tool and its consultations with developing countries during the policy formulation stage, and to consider, if necessary, new instruments to support the strengthening of policy coherence for development.
Sporazum združuje politična, trgovinska in razvojna področja ter temelji na petih neodvisnih stebrih: globalni politični razsežnosti; spodbujanju participativnih pristopov in povečanju zmogljivosti nevladnih dejavnikov; usmeritvi v cilj zmanjšanja revščine; oblikovanju novega okvira gospodarskega in trgovinskega sodelovanja z možnostjo pogajanj za sklenitev regionalnih sporazumov o gospodarskem partnerstvu (SGP) pred koncem leta 2007; finančnem sodelovanju, usmerjenem v usklajenost, prilagodljivost in učinkovitost, za katero sredstva zagotavljata Evropski razvojni sklad (ERS) in Evropska investicijska banka (EIB).
The Member States are also requested to strengthen their procedures and instruments by drawing on best practices developed by certain Member States.
V obdobju 2000–2005 je ERS za pomoč zagotovil znesek v višini 13,5 milijarde EUR, EIB pa znesek v višini 1,7 milijarde EUR.
In 2005 the European Union’s action in terms of aid to the health sector in developing countries focused again on the ght against poverty-related diseases (AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis) and on the promotion of sexual and reproductive rights and health.
Tudi sodelovanje Evropske unije z večregionalno skupino držav AKP je v letu 2005 zelo napredovalo.
In 2004 the Commission advocated a coherent European political framework for external support for combating such diseases, and in 2005 this materialised as an action programme to be implemented over the period 2007–11.
Tako so 25. junija pogodbenice sporazuma, in sicer nekaj več kot 100 držav (države AKP in države članice Evropske unije) in Skupnost kot taka, v Luxembourgu podpisale revidirani partnerski sporazum AKP-ES.
The initiative was presented by the Commission on 27 April (1) and was approved rst by the Council on 24 May and then by the European Council in June. Designed to constitute the basis of a sustainable EU policy, the action programme, which advocates both cooperation at global level and targeted support for the countries a ected by such diseases, involves tangible and inexpensive actions, such as the distribution of free mosquito nets and contraceptives, and free access to AIDS testing and consultation services.
Ta sporazum ohranja bistveni del prednosti sporazuma iz Cotonouja, hkrati pa zajema vrsto vprašanj, ki zadevajo: politično razsežnost, zlasti z vključitvijo določb v zvezi z mednarodnim bojem proti terorizmu in širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje; strategije razvoja z upoštevanjem novih elementov, na primer razvojnih ciljev novega tisočletja ali informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij;
At the request of the Council of 24 May, on 12 December the Commission also proposed a new Community strategy for action on the crisis in human resources for
Glede tega si bo EU še naprej prizadevala za pomoč državam AKP v približno enaki višini kot v prvih petih letih uporabe Sporazuma iz Cotonouja.
International cooperation against drugs
ERS v višini 750 milijonov EUR.
In 2005 the two most important developments in this area were: the exchange of letters between the Commission and the United Nations O ce on Drugs and Crime with a view to strengthening their coordination, cooperation and partnership; and the renewal of the nancing of the budget line on north–south cooperation in the area of the ght against drugs, which has enabled a number of inter-regional initiatives to be launched.
V okviru gospodarskega in trgovinskega sodelovanja potekajo obsežna pogajanja za sklenitev sporazumov o gospodarskem partnerstvu s šestimi regijami AKP v letu 2007. Leta 2005 so bila pogajanja usmerjena predvsem v cilje regionalnega povezovanja ter s tem povezano trgovinsko in razvojno politiko vsake regije AKP.
The main cooperation e orts with third countries again focused on Afghanistan and the Andean region, where Union strategies are aimed at developing alternative crops. E orts were also made to combat drug abuse, production and trafficking in eastern Europe, central Asia, certain African and Asian countries and the Balkans.
Sporazumi o gospodarskem partnerstvu, oblikovani kot pravi instrumenti razvoja, so del skupnih prizadevanj za oblikovanje okvira gospodarskega upravljanja in določitev trdnih, preglednih in predvidljivih pravil, ki so nujna za zmanjšanje stroškov, povezanih s poslovanjem, za privabljanje novih lokalnih in tujih naložb ter za pomoč proizvajalcem iz držav AKP, da postane njihova dejavnost bolj razvejana in konkurenčna.
The European Union also took part in numerous international multilateral (Paris Pact, Commission on Narcotic Drugs, Dublin Group) and bilateral (Andean Community and Latin America–Caribbean; Afghanistan, United States, Iran, Russia, Turkey) meetings.
Službe Komisije so 9. novembra objavile delovni dokument o trgovinskih in razvojnih vidikih pogajanj o sporazumih o gospodarskem partnerstvu (1).
Humanitarian aid
Sodelovanje z azijskimi državami
In the face of the unprecedented human and material losses caused by the earthquake and tsunami which a ected several countries in Asia and the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004, massive humanitarian aid from the European Union and from the international community as a whole continued to ow towards these regions from the beginning of 2005.
Z globalnega vidika je bil z Združenimi državami Amerike in Japonsko vzpostavljen „strateški dialog o Aziji“, saj bo ta regija imela vse večjo vlogo pri reševanju temeljnih vprašanj, s katerimi se sooča mednarodna skupnost.
The Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid (ECHO) played an active part in this. In total, the Union’s nancial commitment in the regions concerned amounted to over EUR 1.5 billion for both short-term measures and medium-term reconstruction e orts.
Poleg tega je bila med zasedanjem štirinajstega vrha Evropska unija-Japonska 2. maja v Luxembourgu močno poudarjena potreba po krepitvi takšnega dialoga v zvezi z varnostnimi razmerami v vzhodni Aziji.
The work carried out under these extraordinary circumstances has taught the Union lessons which it can implement in the framework of a more comprehensive approach.
Z vidika dvostranskih odnosov sta vrha, ki sta bila septembra organizirana v Pekingu in New Delhiju, prav tako omogočila napredek pri partnerstvih EU s Kitajsko in z Indijo.
EUROPE AS A GLOBAL PARTNER disasters.
EVROPA KOT SVETOVNA PARTNERICA
Alongside humanitarian aid as such, the European Union decided at the beginning of the year to extend the specific programme it has been implementing for several years in favour of uprooted peoples in Latin America and Asia until the end of 2006 (2
EU in Indija sta v New Delhiju sprejeli obsežen akcijski načrt, v katerem je natančno opisan način sodelovanja, opredeljenega v strateškem partnerstvu, sklenjenem leta 2004.
The Union also subscribed to the commitments entered into at the UN summit in September (see above) to further develop and improve, if necessary, the mechanisms for implementing the emergency intervention plans under the auspices of the United Nations.
Obveznosti akcijskega načrta so tako namenjene krepitvi mehanizmov dialoga, posvetovanja in izmenjave na političnem, kulturnem, izobraževalnem, gospodarskem in trgovinskem področju.
In 2005 the Commission allocated, through ECHO, EUR 652.1 million to humanitarian aid operations.
Po cunamiju, ki je decembra 2004 prizadel Azijo, je nujni pomoči, ki je omogočila izpolnitev najnujnejših potreb, hitro sledila priprava dolgoročnejše razvojne pomoči.
The main operations nanced are set out in Table 2.
Hkrati s tem procesom je potekal politični dialog za zagotovitev miru in stabilnosti v regijah, ki so jih prizadeli lokalni konflikti.
Table 2 Humanitarian aid nancing decisions (2005 budget) by geographical area
Komisija je z zneskom v višini 170 milijonov EUR podprla vrsto projektov, ki jih večinoma vodi skupaj z drugimi pomembnimi donatorji, da bi se zagotovila učinkovitost in usklajenost teh projektov.
Total 2005
Prav dejansko povečanje števila sporazumov med Evropsko unijo in Latinsko Ameriko je leta 2005 hkrati z izvajanjem pomembnih obstoječih programov regijskega sodelovanja prispevalo k boljšemu partnerstvu sto regijo.
1) COM(2005) 153.2) Regulation (EC) No 107/2005 (OJ L 23, 26.1.2005).
Tako je 1. marca začel veljati Pridružitveni sporazum s Čilom.
An enhanced priority: specific responses for Africa
Leto 2005 je zaznamovalo tudi sporočilo z naslovom „Okrepljeno partnerstvo med EU in Latinsko Ameriko“ (1), ki ga je 8. decembra 2005 sprejela Komisija.
Beyond the cooperation it has provided for many years to Africa under the partnership involving all the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP countries — see below), the Union wished to lay special emphasis, in 2005, on the contribution it intends to make to developing sub-Saharan Africa.
Komisija predlaga obnovitev svoje strategije v zvezi z latinskoameriško regijo in opredeljuje priporočila za poglobitev strateškega biregionalnega partnerstva z izpolnitvijo štirih ciljev: krepitvijo in ciljno usmeritvijo političnega dialoga; vzpostavitvijo ugodnih razmer za trgovino in naložbe; podporo prizadevanjem držav te regije, da bi prispevale k stabilnosti in blaginji; boljšim sodelovanjem in večjim medsebojnim razumevanjem.
All studies show that the region is lagging significantly behind the rest of the world as regards attaining the millennium development goals.
Komisija je poleg tega še naprej izvajala obveznosti, sprejete na vrhu v Guadalajari (maj 2004), in začela s pripravami na četrti vrh Evropska unija-Latinska Amerika, ki bo potekal od 11. do 12. maja 2006 na Dunaju.
In fact, it was during the preparation of the world summit aimed at taking stock of progress made in achieving these goals that the EU set out the guidelines which underpin its targeted approach for Africa.
Hkrati je začela z načrtovanjem izvajanja obveznosti, vključno z državnimi in regionalnimi strateškimi dokumenti za Latinsko Ameriko za obdobje 2007–2013.
In terms of niche sectors, the EU intends to catalyse other actors’ actions in the sectors where it has specific experience or a comparative advantage and where it can deliver rapidly.

Background The Cotonou ACP–EC Partnership Agreement
Skupna zunanja in varnostna politika
Following on from the successive Lomé Conventions, the Partnership Agreement signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 between the Community and 77 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries was concluded for a period of 20 years (1).
Skupna zunanja in varnostna politika (SZVP) je bila oblikovana kot drugi steber Evropske unije v okviru Pogodbe o Evropski uniji, ki je bila podpisana leta 1992 v Maastrichtu.
It contains a clause which provides for intermediate reviews every ve years.
Njen cilj je zagotoviti razširjeno območje stabilnosti in demokratičnega napredka preko meja Evropske unije.
The Cotonou Agreement combines political, commercial and development components and is based on ve interdependent pillars:
Amsterdamska pogodba, podpisana leta 1997, je v tej zvezi izpostavila pet temeljnih ciljev: ohranitev skupnih vrednot, neodvisnosti in celovitosti Unije ob uporabi načeli z Ustanovne listine Združenih narodov; krepitev varnosti Unije; ohranitev miru in krepitev mednarodne varnosti v skladu z načeli Ustanovne listine Združenih narodov; spodbujanje mednarodnega sodelovanja; razvoj in utrjevanje demokracije in pravne države, spoštovanje človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin.
159 a comprehensive political dimension;the promotion of participatory approaches and capacity building of non-state actors;a focus on the objective of poverty reduction;
Med sredstvi za dosego teh ciljev, opredeljenimi v Pogodbi o Evropski uniji, najdemo uvedbo skupnih strategij, ki se jih določi po državah ali regijah (Rusija, Ukrajina, sredozemske države in mirovni proces na Bližnjem vzhodu) in v katerih se navedejo cilji, trajanje in sredstva za njihovo uresničitev.
• • • • the settingup of a new framework for economic and trade cooperation a ording the possibility of negotiating regionalised economic partnership agreements (EPAs) before the end of 2007;
Posebni predstavniki so prisotni zlasti v Afganistanu, srednji Aziji, v Nekdanji jugoslovanski republiki Makedoniji, na južnem Kavkazu, na območju afriških Velikih jezer, v Moldaviji, na Bližnjem vzhodu in v Sudanu.
• nancial cooperation focusing on coherence, exibility and e ciency, and supported by resources from the European Development Fund (EDF) and the European Investment Bank (EIB).
Zaradi spreminjajočih se razmer na področju mednarodne varnosti, do katerih je prišlo s porastom števila nevladnih akterjev kot novega vira nevarnosti, je Svet v svojih sklepih z dne 3. oktobra podprl pripravo mednarodnega sporazuma o trgovini z orožjem, s ciljem pospešitve formalnega procesa v okviru Združenih narodov.
For the period 2000–05, aid amounted to EUR 13.5 billion from the EDF and EUR 1.7 billion from the EIB.
Z enakim namenom ohranjanja mednarodne varnosti je Svet v okviru izvajanja nekaterih delov Strategije Unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje (1) prav tako podprl dejavnost Mednarodne agencije za atomsko energijo (MAAE).
Launched on 6 May 2004, the negotiations on the rst ve-year review of the Partnership Agreement ended on 23 February 2005.
Skupni ukrepi in stališča, ki jih je Svet med letom sprejel v okviru izvajanja SZVP, so zadevali: na Balkanu:
While maintaining the bulk of the acquis of the Cotonou Agreement, the revised agreement covers a broad range of issues concerning:
— podaljšanje mandata posebnega predstavnika Evropske unije v Bosni in Hercegovini (3);
• the political dimension with, in particular, the introduction of provisions on the international ght against terrorism and against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction;
— podaljšanje mandata Misije Evropske unije za nadzor (Mission de surveillance de l’Union – MSUE) (4);
• • the implementation and management procedures, thanks to a simplification of these procedures and the introduction, in particular, of more exibility in the allocation of resources.
