Med letom je EU zagotovila skupaj 498 milijonov EUR pomoči Palestincem, predvsem za kritje tekočih stroškov Palestinske oblasti in za podporo palestinskemu načrtu za reforme in razvoj.
The EU devoted a lot of attention in 2008 to its neighbours in eastern Europe and in the Mediterranean basin.
Komisija je med letom nadaljevala s prizadevanji za sklenitev formalnih sporazumov s strateškima partnericama v Aziji, Kitajsko in Indijo, pa tudi z Južno Korejo in članicami združenja ASEAN (Združenje držav jugovzhodne Azije).
It launched the Union for the Mediterranean with its southern partners in July, while in December the Commission proposed a new Eastern Partnership for its eastern neighbours. Negotiations on a new partnership agreement with Russia, frozen by the EU because of the conflict with Georgia, were unblocked at an EU-Russia summit in November.
Pomoč državam ASEAN je usmerjena predvsem v prizadevanja za gospodarsko povezovanje v skladu z načrtom gospodarske skupnosti ASEAN (ASEAN economic community blueprint) in temelji na evropskih izkušnjah z regionalnimi orodji povezovanja, kot so statistika, carina in skupni standardi.
During the year, the EU provided a total of €498 million in assistance to the Palestinians mainly to cover the running costs of the Palestinian Authority and to support the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan.
Komisija se je posvečala tudi pogajanjem za sklenitev celovitih pridružitvenih sporazumov (politični dialog, razvojno sodelovanje in preferencialna trgovina) z Andsko skupnostjo in Srednjo Ameriko.
Getting the policies right
Ustrezne politike
Throughout the year, the EU and its African partners started work on the eight thematic partnerships which are part of the ambitious joint strategy adopted at their Lisbon summit in December 2007.
EU in njene afriške partnerice so začele izvajati dejavnosti v okviru osmih tematskih partnerstev, ki so del ambiciozne skupne strategije, sprejete na vrhu v Lizboni decembra 2007.
The two sides also strengthened their dialogue on global issues, including the impact of the financial crisis, climate change and
Obe strani sta okrepili tudi skupni dialog o svetovnih vprašanjih, med drugim o vplivu finančne krize, podnebnih spremembah in upravljanju mednarodnih institucij.
The unforeseen events of 2008 did not distract the EU and the European Commission from their development priorities.
Nepričakovani dogodki v letu 2008 niso odvrnili EU in Evropske komisije od njunih prednostnih razvojnih nalog.
During 2008, the Commission reviewed progress towards the MDGs at midway.
Komisija je med letom 2008 preverila napredek pri uresničevanju razvojnih ciljev novega tisočletja, dosežen na polovici ciljnega obdobja.
It assessed EU technical and financial assistance in the context of the eight MDGs.
Ocenila je tehnično in finančno pomoč EU v okviru osmih razvojnih ciljev novega tisočletja.
action on the MDGs in June.
Komisija pripravila program ukrepov EU za uresničitev teh ciljev.
This sets milestones for 2010 to make up lost ground on core social (particularly health) and environmental targets.
V njem je določila cilje za leto 2010, s katerimi naj bi nadomestili zamujeno pri ključnih socialnih (zlasti na področju zdravja) in okoljskih ciljih.
For the Lower and Middle-Income Countries, cooperation concentrates mainly on supporting policies to reduce poverty.
Pri državah z nižjimi in srednjimi dohodki je sodelovanje osredotočeno predvsem na podporne politike za zmanjšanje revščine.
rights and civil society institutions, and for the media.
Zagotavljajo pomoč pri volitvah, podporo parlamentom, institucijam za človekove pravice in institucijam civilne družbe ter medijem.
As the EU’s main thematic tool, the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) is the concrete expression of the importance the EU gives to this policy.
Glavno tematsko orodje EU, Evropski instrument za demokracijo in človekove pravice, je konkretni izraz pomembnosti, ki jo EU pripisuje tej politiki.
The EIDHR can intervene in places where the EU is not normally present and, more crucially, even without the agreement of third countries.
Evropski instrument za demokracijo in človekove pravice lahko posreduje tam, kjer EU običajno ni prisotna, in kar je še bolj pomembno, posreduje lahko tudi brez soglasja tretjih držav.
Its main beneficiaries are groups and individuals who are struggling for democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms within civil society.
Glavni upravičenci do tega instrumenta so skupine in posamezniki, ki se borijo za demokracijo, človekove pravice in temeljne svoboščine v okviru civilne družbe.
In fact, these events reinforced the need for more policy coherence, particularly on big issues like climate change, where the EU is at the heart of the process, and world trade.
Ti dogodki so pravzaprav povečali potrebo po bolj usklajenih politikah, zlasti pri pomembnih vprašanjih, kot so podnebne spremembe, pri katerih je EU v ospredju, in svetovna trgovina.
The EU’s high profile on climate change can directly benefit the poorest and most vulnerable developing countries as witnessed by the operational launch of the Adaptation Fund agreed at the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland, in December 2008.
Vodilna vloga EU v boju proti podnebnim spremembam lahko neposredno koristi najrevnejšim in najbolj ranljivim državam v razvoju, kar dokazuje operativna ustanovitev Prilagoditvenega sklada, dogovorjena na Konferenci ZN o podnebnih spremembah v Poznanu na Poljskem decembra 2008.
The first Voluntary Partnership Agreement under the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade initiative (FLEGT) was concluded with Ghana in September 2008.
Prvi prostovoljni sporazum o partnerstvu v okviru pobude FLEGT (izvrševanje zakonodaje, upravljanje in trgovanje na področju gozdov) je bil sklenjen z Gano septembra 2008.
Since the despatch of the first EU election observers to Russia in 1993, EU Election Observation Missions (EOMs) have become a highly-visible tool of European diplomacy.
Odkar je EU leta 1993 prvič poslala opazovalce volitev v Rusijo, so misije EU za opazovanje volitev postale zelo vidno sredstvo evropske diplomacije.
In 2008, the European Commission sent EU EOMs to monitor national elections in 10 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America: Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Cambodia, Rwanda, Angola, Ecuador, Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, and Bangladesh.
Leta 2008 je Evropska komisija poslala misije EU za opazovanje nacionalnih volitev v 10 držav v Aziji, Afriki in Latinski Ameriki: Pakistan, Butan, Nepal, Kambodžo, Ruando, Angolo, Ekvador, Gvinejo Bissau, Gano in Bangladeš.
The European Commission is continuing its training programme for election observers in 2009.
V letu 2009 Komisija nadaljuje svoj program usposabljanja za opazovalce volitev.
SECTORAL BREAKDOWN
RAZDELITEV PO SEKTORJIH
In 2008, the Commission increased efforts to integrate issues like gender, the environment, and the rights of children and indigenous people fully into the development process.
V letu 2008 je Komisija okrepila prizadevanja za polno vključitev vprašanj, kot so enakost spolov, okolje ter pravice otrok in domorodnega prebivalstva, v razvojni proces.
In February, the Commission proposed a package of measures focussing on children in external actions.
Februarja je predlagala sveženj ukrepov, namenjen otrokom v okviru zunanjih ukrepov.
It sets a number of priorities at regional and global level in relation to child labour, child trafficking, children affected by armed conflict and violence against children.
Sveženj zajema več prednostnih področij na regionalni in svetovni ravni v zvezi z delom otrok, trgovino z otroki, otroki, prizadetimi v oboroženih spopadih, in nasiljem nad otroki.
During the year, the Commission took steps to make sure that other EU policies which impact on development cooperation and assistance do so positively.
Komisija je sprejela ukrepe za zagotovitev, da bodo druge politike EU, ki vplivajo na razvojno sodelovanje in pomoč, nanju vplivale pozitivno.
These include not only trade but also agriculture, energy, research and development, migration, security and tax policy as well.
Ob trgovinski so to še kmetijska politika, energetska politika, politika raziskav in razvoja, migracijska politika, varnostna politika ter tudi davčna politika.
During 2008, a number of Caribbean and Pacific countries undertook the commitment to implement the principles of good governance in the tax area which was among the criteria taken into account to allocate the 10th EDF Governance Incentive Tranche.
V letu 2008 so se številne karibske in pacifiške države zavezale, da bodo izvajale načela dobrega upravljanja na davčnem področju, kar je bilo eno od meril, upoštevanih pri dodeljevanju motivacijskega deleža za upravljanje v okviru 10. ERS.
The Commission has moved democratic governance to the top of its agenda as a marker and reference point in planning and delivering its technical and financial assistance.
Na vrh svojega programa je Komisija postavila demokratično upravljanje kot kazalnik in merilo pri načrtovanju in izvajanju tehnične in finančne pomoči.
It sees democratic governance as a policy area to be supported per se as well as a crosscutting issue incorporated into all aid programmes in all sectors.
Demokratično upravljanje razume kot področje, ki ga je treba podpirati kot samostojno področje, hkrati pa tudi kot vprašanje, ki zadeva vse programe pomoči in vsa področja.
It is also a central theme in any policy dialogue.
Poleg tega je tudi osrednja tema vsakega dialoga o politikah.
During 2008, the Commission defined a methodology to analyse and address the governance issue in its sector operations.
V letu 2008 je Komisija opredelila metodologijo za analiziranje in reševanje vprašanja upravljanja v svojih področnih dejavnostih.
The challenge is that promoting democratic governance is a highly sensitive process and one which is specific to each country.
Težava je v tem, da je spodbujanje demokratičnega upravljanja zelo občutljiv proces, ki ima v vsaki državi tudi svoje posebnosti.
In 2008, the Commission worked hard to make its aid more effective by creating coherence and synergy between the relevant geographic and thematic instruments which promote democracy and human rights.
Komisija je v letu 2008 vložila veliko truda v povečanje učinkovitosti pomoči in je v ta namen uskladila ustrezne geografske in tematske instrumente, ki spodbujajo demokracijo in človekove pravice, ter ustvarila sinergije med njimi.
In this context, geographic programmes are devoted mainly to institution-building and democratic processes such as elections.
V tem okviru so geografski programi namenjeni predvsem krepitvi institucij in demokratičnim procesom, kot so volitve.
More and better aid demand-led approach, partner country ownership throughout the management cycle of operations, and strong result-orientation.
Povečanje in izboljšanje pomoči odgovornosti partnerskih držav skozi celoten cikel upravljanja dejavnosti ter izrazito usmerjenost na rezultate.
The amount of aid handled by the Commission, including its Delegations, has increased steadily and substantially over recent years.
Poleg tega je Komisija povečala delež razvojne pomoči, zagotovljene v obliki proračunske podpore, ki je njeno prednostno sredstvo za zagotavljanje pomoči, kadar razmere to omogočajo.
The Commission further increased the share of development aid delivered in the form of budget support, its preferred delivery vehicle when conditions allow.
Obseg pomoči, ki jo upravlja Komisija, vključno z njenimi delegacijami, se v zadnjih letih stalno in občutno povečuje.
Budget support, where funds are transferred to the national treasury of the beneficiary country, is gradually replacing direct project-linked funding.
Vrednost sredstev, za katera so bile v letu 2008 prevzete obveznosti, je dosegla 9,33 milijarde EUR1, kar je več kot 90-odstotno povečanje v primerjavi z letom 2001.
During the year, budget support commitments represented 39% (€3.86 billion) of all commitments from the EC budget and the EDF.
Kljub pozni ratifikaciji 10. ERS je Komisija do konca leta uspela prevzeti obveznosti v višini 4,89 milijarde EUR iz tega vira.
The value of funds committed during 2008 reached €9.33 billion1, an increase of more than 90% since 2001. Despite the late ratification of the 10th EDF, the Commission was able to commit €4.89 billion from this source by the end of the year.
Evropska unija je gonilna sila v prizadevanjih za povečanje učinkovitosti pomoči, in sicer tako, da pomoč zagotavlja prek nacionalnih sistemov, da bi okrepila lokalno prevzemanje odgovornosti in zmanjšala transakcijske stroške partnerskih držav.
In this effort, the Commission mobilises its various financial instruments: the EDF for ACP countries, the Development Cooperation Instrument for Asia and Latin America, and the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument for eastern Europe and the southern Mediterranean countries.
Tretji forum o učinkovitosti pomoči na visoki ravni, ki je potekal septembra v Akri v Gani, je obravnaval predvsem delitev dela med donatorji, uporabo nacionalnih sistemov, predvidljivost pomoči, vzajemno odgovornost za rezultate in manjšo pogojenost.
The European Union has been the driving force behind efforts to make aid more effective by channelling it through country systems to reinforce local ownership and reduce transaction costs for partner countries.
Agenda za ukrepanje iz Akre, ki je bila rezultat dela foruma, je skladna s prizadevanji EU. Agenda vključuje do zdaj najširši krog partneric, donatorjev in prejemnikov.
The Third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra, Ghana, in September laid special emphasis on the division of labour among donors, the use of country systems, the predictability of aid, mutual accountability for results and less conditionality.
Partnerske države, donatorji iz držav v vzponu, države srednjega dohodkovnega razreda in nedržavni akterji – vsi dobivajo vse pomembnejšo vlogo. Mimo Agende za ukrepanje iz Akre bo Komisija nadaljevala razprave z državami članicami glede nadaljnjega izvajanja načrta za učinkovitost pomoči na evropski in mednarodni ravni.
The funds are provided either as general budget support (GBS) or sector budget support (SBS) where the focus is on one sector.
Sredstva se zagotavljajo kot splošna proračunska podpora ali kot sektorska proračunska podpora, kadar je poudarek na posameznem področju.
In 2008, GBS commitments made up 60% of all new budget support operations, amounting to €2.3 billion.
V letu 2008 so prevzete obveznosti za splošno proračunsko podporo predstavljale 60 % vseh novih dejavnosti proračunske podpore v višini 2,3 milijarde EUR.
The main beneficiaries were ACP (21 countries), Asian (Laos and Vietnam), and Latin American (Honduras).
Glavne upravičenke so bile države AKP (21 držav), azijske (Laos in Vietnam) in latinskoameriške (Honduras) države.
As for SBS, 2008 saw not only an increasing use of this aid vehicle but also a greater diversity in the sectors covered, especially in non-ACP countries2. Total SBS commitments amounted to €1.5 billion, about 40% of new budget support operations committed in 2008.
Kar zadeva sektorsko proračunsko podporo, se v letu 2008 ni povečala le uporaba tega instrumenta pomoči, ampak tudi število različnih zajetih področij, zlasti v državah, ki niso države AKP2 Prevzete obveznosti za sektorsko proračunsko podporo so znašale 1,5 milijarde EUR, tj. približno 40 % novih dejavnosti proračunske podpore, za katere so bile v letu 2008 prevzete obveznosti.
SBS operations represented 18% of new budget support commitments for the ACP region, nearly 60% in Asia, and up to 100% among the EU’s eastern and southern neighbours and South Africa.
Dejavnosti sektorske proračunske podpore so predstavljale 18 % novih prevzetih obveznosti za proračunsko podporo za regijo AKP, od tega skoraj 60 % v Aziji, ter do 100 % za vzhodne in južne sosednje države ter Južno Afriko.
In the latter cases, budget support operations are concentrated in areas such as justice, legislative support, energy, trade and competitiveness.
Pri slednjih so dejavnosti proračunske podpore namenjene predvsem področjem, kot so pravosodje, zakonodajna podpora, energetika, trgovina in konkurenčnost.
In Asia, most of the commitments were in the social sectors.
V Aziji je bila večina prevzetih obveznosti namenjena socialnim področjem.
In Latin America, the main sectors were water management, education and employment.
V Latinski Ameriki so bila glavna področja gospodarjenje z vodami, izobraževanje in zaposlovanje.
Although in ACP countries SBS focused on traditional sectors (roads, health and education), some new sectors like justice, professional training, decentralisation are also emerging.
Čeprav je bila v državah AKP sektorska proračunska podpora osredotočena na tradicionalna področja (ceste, zdravstvo in izobraževanje), se pojavljajo tudi nova področja, kot so pravosodje, strokovno usposabljanje in decentralizacija.
The output from the Forum, the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA), sits well with the EU’s own aspirations. The AAA involves a wider range of partners, donors and recipients than ever before.
V okviru svojega odziva na zaveze glede uporabe nacionalnih sistemov in predvidljivosti pomoči je Komisija pripravila dokončne predloge za pogodbo o razvojnih ciljih novega tisočletja, ki bo zagotovila dolgoročnejšo, bolj predvidljivo obliko splošne proračunske podpore, namenjeno uspešnim državam, ki dokazano uspešno izvajajo proračunsko podporo.
Partner countries themselves, emerging-country donors, middle-income countries and non-state actors, all play an increasingly important role.
Pogodbe o razvojnih ciljih novega tisočletja so bile prvotno odobrene za sedem držav AKP (Burkino Faso, Gano, Mali, Mozambik, Ruando, Ugando in Zambijo), kar predstavlja več kot 40 % načrtovane splošne proračunske podpore v 10. ERS.
Looking beyond the AAA, the Commission will continue discussions with Member States on how to carry forward the aid effectiveness agenda at a European and international level.
V letu 2008 se je Komisija intenzivno ukvarjala s prenovo svojih enot za tehnično sodelovanje in izvajanje projektov.
It is a question of value for money – for the beneficiary countries, and for the European taxpayer.
Julija je sprejela glavno strategijo, ki opredeljuje vrsto načel, med drugim poudarek na razvoju lokalnih zmogljivosti, na povpraševanju temelječ pristop, prevzemanje
The Commission is currently developing, in consultation with other donors and Member States, a comprehensive methodology for evaluating both general and sector budget support operations at country level.
Komisija trenutno v posvetovanju z drugimi donatorji in državami članicami razvija celovito metodologijo za vrednotenje dejavnosti splošne in sektorske proračunske podpore na ravni držav.
This methodology will be tested in 2009-2010 and subsequently refined.
Metodologija bo testirana v letih 2009–2010 in nato izpopolnjena.
In 2008, a comprehensive overview of EC general budget support programmes was also undertaken covering 46 programmes.
V letu 2008 je bil opravljen tudi celovit pregled programov splošne proračunske podpore ES, ki je zajel 46 programov.
It reveals that on average 70% of the variable tranche of payments which is based on specific performance indicators was disbursed.
Pregled je pokazal, da je bilo v povprečju izplačane 70 % variabilne tranše plačil, ki temelji na posebnih kazalnikih uspešnosti.
This is an indication that targeted results were achieved at a fairly high level.
To kaže, da so bili ciljni rezultati doseženi na dokaj visoki ravni.
One of the criteria beneficiary countries must demonstrate in order to qualify for budget support is their ability to manage public finances.
Končni znesek, namenjen za programe, ki jih izvaja EuropeAid, je bil 9,45 milijarde EUR iz proračuna in ERS. Od tega je bilo 4,84 milijarde EUR iz ERS.
Further details are given in the financial annexes of the full Report.
Dodatne podrobnosti so podane v finančnih prilogah celotnega poročila.

As with most other donors (including the IMF and the World Bank), the EC uses an initial dynamic PFM diagnosis as the baseline for measuring progress over time.
Učinkovito upravljanje javnih financ je bistveno, da se zagotovi odgovorno ravnanje držav z denarjem evropskih davkoplačevalcev, ki jim je bil zaupan v korist njihovih prebivalcev.
From June 2005 to the end of 2008, so-called PEFA3 assessments were carried out in 55 ACP countries.
Od junija 2005 do konca leta 2008 so bile v 55 državah AKP izvedene ocene PEFA3.
All ACP countries and nearly all other countries around the world benefiting from EC budget support had completed a PEFA assessment by end-2008.
Vse države AKP in skoraj vse druge države po svetu, ki so prejele proračunsko podporo ES, so do konca leta 2008 opravile oceno PEFA.

In general terms, the evaluations showed a good performance in terms of relevance and effectiveness of EC programming and implementation.
Poleg tega je bilo v letu 2008 zaključenih osem poročil o oceni: štiri geografska, eno tematsko in tri o načinih izvajanja pomoči.
Areas where more efforts are needed include: synergy between activities; mix of modalities for delivering aid; and coherence between country and regional aid.
Komisija ugotovitve teh ocen upošteva pri izboljševanju kakovosti in učinkov zunanje pomoči, ki jo zagotavlja.
The EC has also undertaken efforts to increase the visibility of its activities especially when funds are channelled through International Organisations or through budget support.
Na splošno so ocene pokazale, da sta ustreznost in učinkovitost načrtovanja in izvajanja programov ES dobri.
EUROPEAN CONSENSUSAREAS RELATING TO EU DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
Področja, na katerih so potrebna dodatna prizadevanja, vključujejo sinergije med dejavnostmi, kombinacije načinov za zagotavljanje pomoči ter usklajenost nacionalne in regionalne pomoči.
The Commission has committed itself to make budget support more effective and transparent by strengthening PFM assessments, improving the structure and formulation of financial agreements, refining further the eligibility criteria for budget support and risk assessments, and improving reporting systems.
ES si prizadeva tudi za večjo vidnost svojih dejavnosti, zlasti kadar se sredstva zagotavljajo prek mednarodnih organizacij ali prek proračunske podpore.
In future, budget support operations will increasingly be used to meet the financing requirements of developing countries.
