This Cohesion Fund project aims to provide a solution, in terms of both quality and quantity, to the needs of public consumption in this area whilst making up for the lack of waste water treatment plants, especially for industrial effluents.
Cilj tega projekta Kohezijskega sklada je zagotoviti zadostne količine kakovostne pitne vode na tem območju in odpraviti pomanjkljivo čiščenje odpadnih voda, predvsem industrijskih odplak.
By ensuring sustainable management and implementing optimal solutions in these areas, the project will help to improve the environment and the quality of life of the local communities and thus promote the region’s socio-economic development.
S trajnim upravljanjem in sprejetjem optimalnih rešitev na tem področju bo projekt prispeval k izboljšanju ekoloških razmer ter kakovosti življenja prebivalcev in tako spodbudil družbenoekonomski razvoj celotne regije.
The project’s contribution to the reduction of industrial pollution and the preservation of ecosystems is also notable.’
Projekt bo predvsem prispeval k zmanjšanju industrijskega onesnaževanja in ohranjanju ekosistemov.”
‘The modernisation of the railway terminal at Heuston and the south-west corridor is one of the priority projects iden-tifi ed to upgrade the rail network around Dublin.
“Posodobitev železniške postaje Heuston in jugozahodnega koridorja je eden najpomembnejših projektov za izboljšanje železniškega omrežja v okolici Dublina.
For users, it will also facilitate the segregation of suburban train services and intercity trains connecting Dublin and Cork.
Uporabnikom bo omogočala lažje razlikovanje med primestnimi in Intercity vlaki, ki povezujejo Dublin in Cork.
With regard to Heuston, the first phase of the project involved the following works: construction and signalling for a new track layout, an increase from five to nine platforms, extension of a line to Inchicore, bridge modifications, construction of a new concourse and extension of the existing concourse.
Prva faza projekta na postaji Heuston je vsebovala naslednja dela: izgradnja in signalizacija novih tirov s prehodom med peroni 5 in 9, podaljšanje proge do Inchicora, preoblikovanje nivojskega prehoda za pešce in podaljšanje galerij za pešce.
A second phase will involve the provision of an additional rail line between Inchicore and Cherry Orchard and two additional rail lines between Cherry Orchard and Hazelhatch on the south-west corridor.
Druga faza je obsegala uvedbo dodatne linije med Inchicorom in Cherry Orchardom ter dveh dodatnih tirov med Cherry Orchardom in Hazelhatchom vzdolž jugozahodnega koridorja.
The Heuston terminal was completed in February 2004 on time and within budget, and is now fully operational.’
Projekt je bil ob spoštovanju časovnega in finančnega okvira zaključen februarja 2004. Postaja Heuston sedaj že obratuje s polno paro.”

The Solidarity Fund and risk prevention
Solidarnostni sklad in preprečevanje nevarnosti
Jointly organised by the Committee of the Regions, the Directorate-General for Regional Policy and 12 groups of European regions and cities, ‘Open Days 2004’, which took place from 27 to 30 September in Brussels, was attended by over 2 000 regional development actors.

The main theme of this issue of Inforegio Panorama is a little known — but highly significant — aspect of European intervention: the joint response to natural disasters through the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) and risk prevention.
(2 nostni sklad Evropske unije – Letno poročilo 2002–2003 in bilanca pridobljenih izkušenj v enem letu uporabe novega instrumenta“, KOM(2004) 397 končno, sprejeto 26. maja 2004.)
It is important to realize just how much the EUSF, together with the Structural Funds and Cohesion Fund, constitutes a tangible symbol of that European solidarity which is the founding value of cohesion policy: that solidarity and that cohesion policy unite the citizens of Europe and encourage cooperation between them.

As to risk prevention, already made tangible through various projects, this is fully integrated in the legislative proposals adopted by the Commission last July for the 2007—13 period, proposals that I have supported and that I will endeavour to defend throughout the current interinstitutional debate.

vzpostaviti novi instrument, po drugi strani pa skrb zaradi nadzora porabe sredstev, saj naj se Sklad ne bi uporabljal prepogosto, ampak izključno kot zadnja možnost.
The event reaffirmed the need for a European cohesion policy.
Evropska komisija je morala svoj prvotni predlog v nekaterih točkah tako nekoliko zaostriti.
The event involved around 100 regions and cities and was focused primarily on Structural Fund management and the future of cohesion policy.
Potrebno je poudariti, da Evropska komisija upošteva samo neposredno škodo.
mote the transfer of Structural Fund know-how between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ Member States.
Drugih posledic, ki nastanejo zaradi izgube dohodka in proizvodnje in za katere ni primerljive in splošno sprejete metode ocenjevanja, pravilnik ne upošteva.
When regional development and cohesion policy make the difference erence
11. novembra 2002 je Svet sprejel novo uredbo temeljni elementi so:
Peter Straub, President of the Committee of the Regions, added that: ‘Our regions and cities are the lifeblood of the European economy: make them strong and we make the European economy strong.
> Izjemoma je možno uporabiti sklad za nesreče tudi, ko škoda ne dosega praga: 1. če večja nesreča prizadene tudi sosednjo državo (ne glede na obseg škode v tej državi);
In addition to the direct contacts and exchanges of best practice in connection with the themes outlined above, ‘Open Days 2004’ was the occasion to reaffirm the absolute necessity of a European cohesion policy. Commissioner Péter Balázs devoted a large part of his opening speech to the subject, stressing how cohesion policy had made a major contribution to reducing disparities between levels of development in various regions and to tackling the backwardness of the least favoured regions.
> Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije se uporablja „v glavnem“ za večje naravne nesreče in je na voljo tako državam članicam kot tudi državam kandidatkam, ki so v postopku pogajanj za vstop. Prvotni predlog Evropske komisije je vseboval tudi tehnološke in ekološke nesreče, vendar so nato omejili področje aktivnosti, da ne bi prišli v konflikt z načelom „onesnaževalec plača“ in da bi se izognili tveganju, da bi bil odgovorni oproščen pravne krivde za škodo, ki jo je povzročil. 2. v primeru izrednih regionalnih nesreč, za katere veljajo še posebej strogi kriteriji (glej spodaj).
‘Open Days 2004’ was a showcase for European regional development. The event consisted of more than 70 seminars and workshops on the theme ‘The practice and reform of regional policy’, and was held in the Brussels offices of Europe’s regions and cities.
Zakonodajalec tovrstne dogodke jasno pojmuje kot redko izjemo in zahteva od Evropske komisije, da preuči take zahteve „z največjo strogostjo“.
The Directorate-General for Regional Policy directly organised 30 workshops attended by approximately 600 regional policy actors.
Kot dodaten previdnostni ukrep je Svet omejil skupni letni znesek, ki je lahko dodeljen za subvencije, na 75 milijonov eurov.
Structural instruments have also stimulated economic growth by increasing demand and strengthening supply. It is estimated that the gross domestic product (GDP) of Greece in 1999 was 2.2 % more in real terms than it would have been
> Zahtevo mora predložiti vlada prizadete države (in ne regionalne ali lokalne oblasti). Prejeti jo mora Evropska komisija v roku 10 tednov od datuma prve škode. > Nesreča sodi med „večje“, kadar ocenjena škoda presega 3 milijarde eurov (na podlagi cen iz leta 2002) ali 0,6 % bruto nacionalnega dohodka (BND) države (Evropska komisija je prvotno predlagala 1 milijardo ali 0,5 % BND). Ta dvojni kriterij omogoča upoštevanje blagostanja in ekonomske moči države, ki potrebuje pomoč (glej tabelo pragov za sedanjo mobilizacijo sredstev v absolutni vrednosti po državi). > Intervencije Sklada so omejene na javne odhodke in se lahko namenijo samo za financiranje naslednjih najbolj nujnih aktivnosti: (4

they had a significant effect on growth and competitiveness in the areas concerned.’ without this intervention.
Solidarnostni sklad in preprečevanje nevarnosti a) obnova delovanja osnovne infrastrukture (energija, voda, transport itd., vendar tudi zdravstva in šolstva); predkom ter oceno možnosti, da bo država pomoč v celoti porabila v danem letu.
‘This was made possible by helping to increase the stock of physical and human capital in these countries,’ declared Mr Balázs, who also stressed that ‘cohesion policy is not only about numbers’.
b) začasna bivališča in službe prve pomoči; c) zagotovitev preventivne infrastrukture in zaščita kulturne dediščine;
Cohesion policy has also helped to improve governance by introducing a culture of evaluation in public policy, fostering partnerships between various levels of government and the socioeconomic partners, and improving monitoring systems. ‘We should not forget that cohesion policy also helps to implement Community legislation,’ stressed the Commissioner.
> Evropska komisija in država upravičenka, ki ji subvencija pripada, podpišeta dogovor o izvedbi. Ta določa minimalne zahteve v zvezi s porazdelitvijo odgovornosti in finančno kontrolo ter določa tipe predvidenih aktivnosti. Ko je dogovor podpisan, Evropska komisija nakaže celotno subvencijo, država prejemnica pa ima na razpolago eno leto, da jo porabi. Roka ni možno podaljšati. d) čiščenje območij, kjer se je zgodila nesreča, vključno z naravnimi območji.
The Commissioner pointed out that assistance from the Structural Funds has helped increase European integration by favouring exchanges between the cohesion countries and the rest of the Union.
> Šest mesecev po izvedbi država prejemnica pomoči predloži Evropski komisiji končno poročilo, ki kaže pravilno uporabo subvencije. Denar, ki je bil slabo uporabljen ali celo neuporabljen, mora država vrniti. Nato Evropska komisija zaključi dosje. Pragi za večje nesreče po državah v letu 2004
Another benefit of cohesion policy — and not the least — is that it helps mobilise and concentrate national public and private resources on major Community priorities and the least favoured areas. ‘Each euro of structural interventions leverages on average another euro in Objective 1 regions and three times more in Objective 2 regions.’
> Izključene so poškodbe, ki so že zavarovane ali ki jih je možno zavarovati, ter popolnoma preventivni ukrepi. V Uredbi je zapisano, da se upošteva kriterij nezmožnosti zavarovanja, zato da bi se izognili razvrednotenju načela „onesnaževalec plača“ in da bi zagotovili sprejetje zadostnih previdnostnih ukrepov. V zvezi s tem tudi škoda, ki so jo utrpeli zasebniki in podjetja, ne prinaša pravice do povračila iz Sklada. Javno dobro, ki ga države navadno ne zavarujejo, ima pravico do povračila v okviru že omenjenih omejitev. (v milijonih eurov)

A successful formula
Financiranje solidarnosti
> Most respondents appreciated the fact that the regions were involved directly in organising these open days. The Directorate-General for Regional Policy has evaluated the programme of 30 workshops that it organised during ‘Open Days 2004’.
Osrednja težava pri ustanavljanju Solidarnostnega sklada je bila, kako določiti primeren način financiranja.
> Newcomers to regional policy find this kind of event very useful in getting to know and in locating one another. Participants are particularly interested in establishing contacts and the exchange of practices and practical examples. The formula’s success — as demonstrated by 600 workshop registrations — and the strong presence of the new Member States (20 % of registered participants) are testimony to the keen interest of the regional development actors in an event of this kind that is organised in the form of workshops encouraging the exchange of experiences.
Ker proračun Unije v okviru finančnih perspektiv 2000–2006 ne omogoča dovolj razpoložljivih virov na zanesljiv način, je bilo odločeno, da se Solidarnostni sklad financira izven normalnega proračuna in da se vanj vlagajo dodatna „sveža“ sredstva.
> Although there was criticism of the choice of a single language (English) and the absence of simultaneous translation, the participants interviewed or who completed the online questionnaire appreciated the adherence to the programme, the general organisation, the time allowed for questions and debates, and the variety of themes. In all, 71 % of the respondents viewed the workshop organisation as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ whilst 90 % said that they would like to see an event of this kind held again in the future. Building on the success and lessons of the 2004 event, there is already talk of an ‘Open Days 2005’, to focus on a subject of topical interest.
Zaradi proračunskih pravil pa tega ni bilo mogoče uresničiti brez ustanovitve novega „fleksibilnega instrumenta“ in brez spremembe medinstitucionalnega dogovora o izdelavi proračuna med Svetom, Parlamentom in Komisijo.
This applies in equal measures to representatives of the new and old Member States.
Na tej osnovi lahko Sklad dodeljuje subvencije do 1 milijarde eurov letno.
Many people see such an event as the best possible way of gathering useful information, establishing new contacts and generally ‘seeing what is being done elsewhere’.
Zagotoviti je možno samo znesek, ki je dejansko potreben za posamezen primer, neporabljenih sredstev pa ni možno prenesti v prihodnje leto.

To pomeni, da Evropska komisija ne more sama odločati o mobilizaciji Solidarnostnega sklada.
gions must not so much imitate as learn from one another.
Komisija lahko na podlagi zahtevka le predlaga porabo sredstev.
However, the challenges facing regions and the potential of those regions varied; the meeting showed that there is great scope for similar solutions to common problems.
Nato sledi postopek za pridobitev usklajenega proračuna za zahtevani znesek.
Networks of confidence dence
Šele ko dobi zeleno luč od Sveta in Parlamenta, lahko Komisija dodeli subvencijo.
Rovaniemi (35 000 inhabitants), the regional capital of Finnish Lapland, lies on the Arctic Circle in an area that, according to tradition, is the home of Father Christmas.
Postopek, ki se zdi dolg in zapleten, ima tudi prednost, saj na vsakem koraku vključuje Svet in Parlament.
Building on the success of the first meeting of this kind, in October 2003 in Sheffield (South Yorkshire, United Kingdom), the initiative’s aim was to promote the exchange of experiences and dissemination of best practice between authorities responsible for implementing programmes under Objectives 1 and 2 of the Structural Funds.

These were carried out in the six States participating in the seminar, and proved as interesting as they were varied.
Evropska komisija je do septembra 2004 prejela presenetljivih 17 zahtev za uporabo sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada (glej tabelo).
It was also of great interest to representatives of new and future Member States.
Uredba Sveta nima specifičnih pravil o načinu določanja zneska pomoči.
The third seminar on best practice for competitiveness is already scheduled for 2005 in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Temu lahko dodamo višjo stopnjo (6 %) za škodo, ki presega ta prag.
Member States and candidate countries, i.e. countries with which accession negotiations are under way, would be equally eligible.
Enaka metoda se uporablja tudi pri regionalnih nesrečah, kjer škode ne dosegajo praga.
countries that fall victim to exceptional natural disasters.
Pomoč v takem primeru znaša 2,5 % celotne škode.
In the summer of 2002, central Europe was hit by flooding on an unprecedented scale that disrupted the socioeconomic infrastructure of entire regions and damaged their natural and cultural heritage. Direct damage caused in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany — and just a few weeks later in southern France — totalled over EUR 15 billion.
Samo pet zahtev je bilo uvrščenih v kategorijo „večje nesreče“ (škode, višje od praga): poplave v Avstriji, Nemčiji in na Češkem leta 2002, gozdni požari na Portugalskem ter nevihte in poplave na Malti leta 2003.

Intenzivnost pomoči je večja ob velikih nesrečah in niha glede na sposobnost prizadete države, da rešuje situacijo s svojimi lastnimi sredstvi.
As a result, the Commission’s initial proposal was tightened up considerably on a number of points.
