The Council, supported by the Spanish, French, Swedish and United Kingdom Governments, stresses that Community competence for combating the spread of small arms and light weapons cannot be inferred from the Cotonou Agreement
Svet, ob podpori �panske, francoske in �vedske vlade ter vlade Združenega kraljestva, trdi, da pristojnosti Skupnosti na področju dejavnosti proti lahkemu orožju in orožju malega kalibra ni mogoče izpeljati iz
Whereas in its application the Commission basically argued that action against the proliferation of those arms formed an integral part of the Community policy on development cooperation, and even of any development policy, 58 in its reply to the statements in intervention it argued that such action falls within the competence of the Community in so far as it has become an integral part of Community policy on development cooperation while admitting, consequently, that certain aspects of the action may be covered by the CFSP. 59
njenem mnenju obstaja med dejavnostjo proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra ter skupnostno politiko glede razvojnega sodelovanja. Namreč, medtem ko je v tožbi v glavnem trdila, da je ukrep proti �irjenju tega orožja sestavni del skupnostne politike razvojnega sodelovanja, celo katere koli razvojne politike 58, je v odgovoru na intervencijske vloge zagovarjala stali�če, da tak ukrep sodi v pristojnost Skupnosti v delu, v katerem je postal sestavni del skupnostne politike na področju razvojnega sodelovanja, pri čemer posledično priznava, da določeni vidiki ukrepa lahko sodijo v SZVP 59.
On the other hand, it must be borne in mind that the Council and the intervening governments categorically reject the argument that combating the spread of small arms and light weapons falls within the scope, even partially, of development cooperation.
Po drugi strani je treba opozoriti, da Svet in vlade intervenientov kategorično nasprotujejo temu, da bi dejavnost proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra, čeprav deloma, sodila na področje razvojnega sodelovanja.
The Commission’s modification in its written observations is liable to complicate the analysis because, if it were to be followed, that approach could mean that criteria would have to be determined for distinguishing those aspects of the combat against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons which fall within the scope of development cooperation from those that are covered by the CFSP.
Sprememba v pisnih stali�čih Komisije lahko zaplete analizo, saj bi ta pristop, če se ga sprejme, lahko peljal do tega, da je treba določiti merila, ki bi omogočala razlikovanje morebitnih vidikov dejavnosti proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra, ki sodijo pod razvojno sodelovanje, in tistih, ki naj bi sodili na področje uporabe SZVP.
Secondly, I note that the Commission’s pleadings allege, rather sporadically, that the contested decision and the contested Joint Action also encroached on the Commission’s competences on the basis of Article 181a EC, the sole article forming Title XXI of the EC Treaty concerning ‘economic, financial and technical cooperation with third countries’. 60
Drugič, menim, da je Komisija v pisanjih posebej raztreseno trdila, da naj bi izpodbijani sklep in sporni skupni ukrep prav tako posegala v pristojnosti, ki jih ima Skupnost na podlagi člena 181a ES, edinega člena Naslova XXI Pogodbe ES, ki se nana�a na „[g]ospodarsko, finančno in tehnično sodelovanje s tretjimi državami“ 60.

COMMISSION v COUNCIL the procedure for the adoption of Community initiatives in that sphere by replacing the requirement of unanimity laid down by Article 308 EC with a qualified majority of the Council.
KOMISIJA PROTI SVETU posebna pravna podlaga za to sodelovanje in olaj�an postopek sprejemanja skupnostnih pobud na tem področju s tem, da je bila zahteva po soglasju, ki jo določa člen 308 ES, zamenjana s kvalificirano večino v Svetu.
Title XXI was added to the EC Treaty in the revision resulting from the Treaty of Nice.
Naslov XXI je bil v Pogodbo ES dodan ob spremembi na podlagi Pogodbe iz Nice.
Article 181a EC provides that, without prejudice to the provisions of the EC Treaty, and in particular those of Title XX, the Community is to carry out, within its spheres of competence, economic, financial and technical cooperation measures with third countries.
Člen 181a ES med drugim določa, da brez poseganja v določbe Pogodbe ES, zlasti tiste iz Naslova XX, Skupnost v okviru svojih pristojnosti izvaja ukrepe, ki se nana�ajo na gospodarsko, finančno in tehnično sodelovanje.
Before that article came into force, and in so far as the Community instruments did not fall within the scope of other policies, the Community adopted measures and concluded cooperation agreements with third countries which were not developing countries on the basis of Article 235 of the EC Treaty (now Article 308 EC), in default of a specific legal basis. 61.
Pred začetkom veljavnosti tega člena in pod pogojem, da skupnostni instrumenti niso bili predmet drugih politik, je Skupnost sprejemala ukrepe in sklepala sporazume o sodelovanju s tretjimi državami, ki niso bile države v razvoju, na podlagi člena 235 Pogodbe ES (postal člen 308 ES) brez posebne pravne podlage 61.
The addition of the new Title XXI to the EC Treaty therefore creates a specific legal basis for such cooperation and eases
Z uvedbo novega Naslova XXI v Pogodbo ES je bila torej vzpostavljena
Although the concept of ‘developing country’, which is used several times in the provisions of the EC Treaty, is not defined, it is very clear in the present case that all the States which are parties to ECOWAS, the beneficiary of the contested decision, are contracting parties to the Cotonou Agreement and are included among the developing countries, whatever the criteria and indexes
Čeprav pojem „države v razvoju“, ki se večkrat uporablja v določbah Pogodbe ES, ni določen, je v tem primeru povsem jasno, da so vse države, stranke ECOWAS, ki je naslovnik izpodbijanega sklepa, pogodbenice Sporazuma iz Cotonouja in sodijo med države v razvoju, neodvisno od meril in

According to the caselaw, the use of Article 308 EC as the legal basis for a measure is justified only where no other provision of the EC Treaty gives the Community institutions the necessary power to adopt the measure in question: see Portugal v Council, paragraph 21 and caselaw cited.
V skladu s sodno prakso navedba člena 308 ES kot pravne podlage akta ni upravičena, ker nobena druga določba Pogodbe ES institucijam Skupnosti ne daje pristojnosti, potrebne za sprejetje tega akta: glej zlasti zgoraj navedeno sodbo Portugalska proti Svetu (točka 21 in navedena sodna praksa).
62 — See, for example, point 20 of the application.

Before considering this question, we should recall the terms of Article 177 EC.
Pred obravnavo tega vpra�anja je treba najprej opozoriti na besedilo člena 177 ES.
According to Article 177(1) EC, ‘Community policy in the sphere of development cooperation … shall foster:
Na podlagi prvega odstavka tega člena „politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja […] podpira:
— the sustainable economic and social development of the developing countries, and more particularly the most disadvantaged among them,
– trajnostni gospodarski in socialni razvoj držav v razvoju, zlasti tistih, ki so v najbolj neugodnem položaju,
Consequently, it is only in relation to the Community competence in the field of development cooperation that the connection between the latter and combating the proliferation of small arms and light weapons must be examined.
Zato je treba je v zvezi s pristojnostjo Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja preučiti povezavo med njo in dejavnostjo proti �irjenju lahkega orožja in orožja malega kalibra.
— the smooth and gradual integration of the developing countries into the world economy,
– skladno in postopno vključevanje držav v razvoju v svetovno gospodarstvo,
63 — The World Bank normally uses the term ‘developing countries’ to refer to low-income and middle-income countries on the basis of gross national income per inhabitant.
63 – Svetovna banka uporablja običajni izraz „države v razvoju“ za sklicevanje na države z nižjim dohodkom in srednjim dohodkom na podlagi bruto nacionalnega dohodka na prebivalca.
Since 2005 the OECD Development Assistance Committee has used the same criteria, which were taken up by Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ 2006 L 378, p.
Odbor za razvojno pomoč OECD se od leta 2005 ravna po istih merilih, ki so bila povzeta v Uredbo (ES) Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta �t. 1905/2006 z dne 18. decembra 2006 o vzpostavitvi instrumenta za financiranje razvojnega sodelovanja (UL L 378, str.
41), Annex II to which refers to developing countries as defined by the OECD Development Assistance Committee, including among others the Member States of ECOWAS.
41), kjer so v Prilogi II navedene države v razvoju, ki ustrezajo državam s seznama Odbora za razvojno pomoč OECD, ki med drugim zajema države članice ECOWAS.
It should also be noted that, since the 1970s, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has drawn up a list of less advanced countries which is updated every three years, the latest list being based on three criteria relating to gross national income per inhabitant, human capital on the basis of a ‘human assets index’ and economic vulnerability.
Prav tako je treba opozoriti, da Konferenca Združenih narodov za trgovino in razvoj (UNCTAD) od 70. let prej�njega stoletja sestavlja seznam manj razvitih držav, ki ga na tri leta obnovi, pri čemer zadnji seznam temelji na treh merilih, ki se nana�ajo na bruto nacionalni dohodek na prebivalca, člove�ki kapital na podlagi „human assets index“ in na gospodarsko ranljivost.
In 2006 12 of the 15 Member States of ECOWAS were on the UNCTAD list of less advanced countries, the exceptions being Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Liberia: see http://www. unctad.org/Templates/Page.asp?intItemID=3641 & lang=2.
Leta 2006 je bilo dvanajst od petnajstih držav članic ECOWAS na seznamu UNCTAD manj razvitih držav z izjemo Slonoko-�čene obale, Liberije in Nigerije: glej http://www.unctad.org/ Templates/Page.asp?intItemID=3641 & lang=2.

Glej tudi člen 30 in Prilogo II k zgoraj navedeni Uredbi �t. 1905/2006.
Article 177(2) EC adds that Community policy in that area is to contribute to the general objective of developing and consolidating democracy and the rule of law and to that of respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Člen 177(2) ES določa, da politika Skupnosti na tem področju prispeva k doseganju splo�nega cilja razvijati in krepiti demokracijo in pravno državo ter spo�tovati človekove pravice in temeljne svobo�čine.
the competent international organisations, that phrase does not in any case mean that those objectives could properly contribute to enlarging those assigned to the Community under Title XX of the EC Treaty, to the point that any initiative of the European Union and/or the Community intended for developing States would then fall within the scope of the Community development policy. 65
zavezala v okviru pristojnih mednarodnih organizacij, ta izraz vsekakor ne pomeni, da lahko navedeni cilji ustrezno prispevajo k raz�iritvi tistih, dodeljenih Skupnosti v skladu z Naslovom XX Pogodbe ES, tako da bi vsak predlog Evropske unije in/ali Skupnosti, namenjen državam v razvoju, sodil na področje skupnostne razvojne politike 65.
Under Article 177(3) EC, the Community is to comply with the commitments and to take account of the objectives approved in the context of the United Nations and other competent international organisations.
V skladu s členom 177(3) ES Skupnost izpolnjuje svoje obveznosti in upo�teva cilje, ki se jim je zavezala v okviru Združenih narodov in drugih pristojnih mednarodnih organizacij.
Any different interpretation would certainly be contrary to Article 5 EC, which provides, as will be recalled, that the Community can act only within the limits of the powers conferred upon it by the EC Treaty and of the objectives assigned to it therein.
Drugačna razlaga bi bila gotovo v nasprotju s členom 5 ES, v skladu s katerim, naj spomnimo, Skupnost lahko deluje le v mejah pristojnosti, ki so ji dodeljene, in ciljev na podlagi Pogodbe ES.
Article 177(1) EC shows that the objectives of the development cooperation policy are primarily economic and social.
Prvi odstavek tega člena kaže, da so cilji politike razvojnega sodelovanja predvsem gospodarski in socialni.
In pursuing those objectives, the Community must contribute to the general political objective set out in Article 177(2) EC.
Skupnost mora pri zasledovanju teh ciljev prispevati k doseganju splo�nega političnega cilja, določenega v členu 177(2) ES.
However, the preservation of peace and strengthening of international security cannot be made to refer to any of the aims expressly assigned to the Community by Articles 2 EC and 3 EC or, more broadly, to the preamble to the EC Treaty. Even if the preservation of peace and strengthening of
Ohranitve miru in krepitve mednarodne varnosti ni mogoče pripisati niti nobenemu izmed ciljev, ki so za Skupnosti izrecno določeni v členih 2 ES in 3 ES ali
No doubt, in the light of Article 177(3) EC it could be suggested that the list in Article 177(1) EC is not exhaustive in so far as the Community must take account of objectives approved at the international level, including in particular those in the context of the United Nations.
Gotovo bi lahko na podlagi člena 177(3) ES navedli, da seznam iz prvega odstavka ni izčrpen, ker mora Skupnost upo�tevati cilje, dogovorjene na mednarodni ravni, med njimi zlasti tiste, o katerih se je dogovorila v okviru Združenih narodov.
65 — It will also be noted that the eight Millennium Development Goals approved in 2000 under the aegis of the United Nations, and which the Member States of the Community are endeavouring to attain, concentrate mainly on securing the vital elementary needs of populations, on the campaign against poverty and on social and economic development, namely to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, to achieve universal primary education, to promote gender equality and empower women, to reduce the mortality rate of children, to improve maternal health, to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, to ensure environmental sustainability and to develop a global partnership for development: see recently the Joint statement by the Council and the representatives of the governments of the Member States meeting within the Council, the Parliament and the Commission on European Union Development Policy: The European Consensus on Development, OJ 2006 C 46, p. 1.
65 – Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da se osem razvojnih ciljev novega tisočletja, dogovorjenih leta 2000 v okviru Združenih narodov, katere si države članice in Skupnost prizadevajo doseči, v glavnem osredotoča na za�čito vitalnih elementarnih potreb narodov, na dejavnost proti rev�čini in na socialno-gospodarski razvoj, in sicer za zmanj�anje izredne rev�čine in lakote, zagotovitev osnovne izobrazbe za vse, spodbujanje enakosti spolov in neodvisnost žensk, zmanj�anje umrljivosti otrok, izbolj�anje zdravja mater, boj zoper HIV/aids, malarijo in druge bolezni, za zagotavljanje okoljske trajnosti in razvoj globalnega partnerstva za razvoj: v zvezi s tem glej nedavno skupno izjavo Sveta in predstavnikov vlad držav članic na srečanju v okviru Sveta, Evropskega parlamenta in Komisije o razvojni politiki Evropske unije z naslovom „Evropsko soglasje o razvojni politiki“ (UL 2006, C 46, str. 1).
However, apart from the fact that the Community only has to ‘take account’ of the objectives approved in the context of
Vendar ne glede na dejstvo, da mora Skupnost „upo�tevati“ le cilje, ki se jim je

od ciljev razvojnega sodelovanja 68, in, drugič, v okviru obravnave ene izmed določb navedenega sporazuma o sodelovanju pogodbenih strank na področju boja proti drogam preverilo, ali je ta določba ostala v mejah, potrebnih za zasledovanje ciljev „socialnega in gospodarskega razvoja“, navedenih v členu 130u Pogodbe ES, oziroma „socialnogospodarskih“ ciljev razvojnega sodelovanja, ne da bi bilo potrebno sklicevanje na pristojnost in ustrezno pravno podlago na zadevnem področju 69.
The social and economic nature of the objectives pursued by the Community development cooperation policy was confirmed by the Court in Portugal v Council.
Socialno-gospodarsko naravo ciljev, ki jih zasleduje skupnostna politika razvojnega sodelovanja, je potrdilo Sodi�če v zgoraj navedeni sodbi Portugalska proti Svetu.
That approach may appear relatively strict with regard to the delimitation of the objectives pursued by development cooperation.
Ta pristop se zdi razmeroma strog glede na razmejitev ciljev, zasledovanih v okviru razvojnega sodelovanja.
However, this relative rigour is counterbalanced, as illustrated by the judgment in Portugal v Council, by the possibility of including in the scope of development cooperation a broad range of matters, provided that they contribute to the attainment of the objectives of Article 177 EC.
Vendar to strogost zmanj�uje, kot je prikazano v zgoraj navedeni sodbi Portugalska proti Svetu, možnost, da se na področje razvojnega sodelovanja vključi �irok spekter zadev, če prispevajo k uresničitvi ciljev iz člena 177 ES.
In that judgment it is true that the Court accepted that the objectives pursued by Article 130u of the EC Treaty (now Article 177 EC) are broad objectives in the sense that it must be possible for the measures required for their pursuit to concern a variety of specific matters.
Sodi�če je v tej sodbi res priznalo, da so cilji iz člena 130u Pogodbe ES (postal člen 177 ES) �iroki v tem smislu, da se ukrepi, potrebni za njihovo uresničevanje lahko nana�ajo na različna posebna področja 67.
67Neverthe-less, the Court added, first, that in order to be duly adopted on the basis of Article 130y of the EC Treaty (now Article 181 EC), the clauses of an agreement on cooperation in those different specific matters cannot include obligations which in reality constitute objectives distinct from those of development cooperation 68and verified, second, in the context of examining one of the clauses of the agreement relating to cooperation between the contracting parties in combating drugs, whether that clause remained within
Vendar pa je pojasnilo, prvič, da določbe sporazuma o sodelovanju na teh različnih področjih, da bi bili ukrepi veljavno sprejeti na podlagi člena 130y Pogodbe ES (postal člen 181 ES), ne smejo vsebovati obveznosti, ki dejansko pomenijo cilje, ki se razlikujejo
Thus the Community adopted Regulation (EC) No 1724/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2001
Tako je Skupnost sprejela Uredbo (ES) �t. 1724/2001 o ukrepih zoper protipe-

I think that approach is also consistent with the general scheme of the EC Treaty, which aims to attain limited objectives with the aid of extensive means, and not the reverse.
Tak pristop je po mojem mnenju prav tako v skladu s splo�nim namenom Pogodbe ES, ki se nana�a na dosego omejenih ciljev s pomočjo obsežnih sredstev in ne obratno.
according to its Article 2, aims to assist countries which suffer from the consequences of such mines ‘to create the conditions necessary for their economic and social development’, while pointing out, in recital 15, that it is necessary to ensure that the Community’s actions pursuant to that regulation are consistent with the European Union’s foreign policy as a whole, including the CFSP.
pomoč državam, ki trpijo posledice teh min, da „ustvarijo pogoje, potrebne za njihov gospodarski in socialni razvoj“, pri čemer v petnajsti uvodni izjavi opozarja, da je treba zagotoviti, da je delovanje Skupnosti na podlagi navedene uredbe skladno z zunanjo politiko Evropske unije kot celote in zlasti s SZVP.
However, there remains the question of the degree of the connection which must exist between a given measure and the objectives of social and economic development of Article 177 EC for that measure to fall within Community competence under Title XX of the EC Treaty.
Vendar ostaja vpra�anje o stopnji povezave, ki mora obstajati med danim ukrepom in cilji socialnogospodarskega razvoja iz člena 177 ES, da bi lahko ta ukrep sodil v pristojnost Skupnosti na podlagi Naslova XX Pogodbe ES.
The example of mine clearance projects shows that measures connected with security may fall within the ambit of development aid provided that they serve to attain the objectives of social and economic development of Article 177 EC.
Primer projektov odstranjevanja min dokazuje, da lahko ukrepi, povezani z varnostjo. sodijo na področje uporabe razvojne pomoči, če so namenjeni uresničevanju ciljev gospodarsko-socialnega razvoja iz člena 177 ES.
It cannot be denied that there is a connection between the preservation of peace and strengthening of international security, referred to in Article 11(1) EU, and the prevention of violent conflicts on the one hand and development on the other hand.
Ni mogoče zanikati, da obstaja povezava med ohranitvijo miru in krepitvijo mednarodne varnosti iz člena 11(1) EU ter preprečevanjem nasilnih spopadov na eni strani in razvojem na drugi strani.
None of the parties to the present action denies this, and indeed it is undeniable that the armed conflicts that devastate many countries in the world and the insecurity prevailing in those countries are obstacles to their development. 71
Nobena izmed strank v tem sporu tega ne zanika in dejansko ni sporno, da so oboroženi spopadi, ki so uničili �tevilne svetovne države, in dejstvo, da ni zagotovljena varnost, ovire njihovemu razvoju 71.
However, such a connection cannot lead to including in the scope of development cooperation measures which would lead to disregarding the distribution of competences
Vendar se zaradi take povezave na področje uporabe razvojnega sodelovanja ne more vključiti ukrepe, ki bi pripeljali do
