EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(komisjoni esitatud) {SEK(2005) 439 }

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

SELETUSKIRI

- Grounds for and objectives of the proposal

1. Ettepaneku kontekst

In its Communication on the Financial Perspectives adopted on 14 July 2004, the Commission called for action at European level to provide a common response to emergency situations of different origin in an efficient and coordinated way. Action would cover both solidarity and rapid reaction, with measures allowing for immediate response and providing assistance in the aftermath of a major crisis.

- Ettepaneku alus ja eesmärgid

The objective of the present proposal is to develop the rapid reaction strand of the Commission’s integrated approach, in order to provide for Community financial assistance to support and complement the efforts of Member States for the protection of people, the environment and property by contributing to the effectiveness of systems for the preparedness for and response to major emergencies regardless of their origin as well as to prepare for and respond to public health effects arising from major emergencies.

14. juulil 2004 vastu võetud fintantsperspektiivide teatises kutsub komisjon tegutsema Euroopa tasandil, et üheskoos tõhusalt ja koordineeritult reageerida erinevatele hädaolukordadele. Tegutsemine hõlmaks nii solidaarsust kui kiirreageerimist koos vahetu reageerimise ja suurõnnetuse järgse abi meetmetega.

The solidarity strand is developed through a complementary proposal of a “European Union Solidarity Fund”.

Käesoleva ettepaneku eesmärk on arendada komisjoni tervikliku lähenemisviisi kiirreageerimise osa, et tagada ühenduse rahaline abi, mis toetaks ja täiendaks liikmesriikide jõupingutusi inimeste, keskkonna ja vara kaitsmisel, aidates kaasa suurõnnetusteks valmisoleku ja neile reageerimise süsteemide tõhustamisele õnnetuse põhjustest hoolimata, ning olla valmis suurõnnetuste mõjuks rahvatervisele ja sellele reageerida.

- General context

Solidaarsuse osa arendatakse täiendava ettepanekuga "Euroopa Liidu solidaarsusfondi" kohta.

Many events may lead to the occurrence of major emergencies with actual or potential catastrophic consequences for people, property and the environment at large. Such major emergencies may be caused by a wide range of factors and actors since they can result from the action of man, including through the operation of industrial facilities and terrorist attacks, or natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, floods, storms, etc.

- Üldine kontekst

In such crisis situations, civil protection actors have proved to fulfil an essential role in responding on very short notice to the occurrence of major emergencies and contributing to manage and mitigate their consequences helping to reduce the loss of human life, injuries, environmental, economic and material damage.

Mitmed sündmused võivad viia suurõnnetusteni, tuues kaasa tegelikud või võimalikud katastroofilised tagajärjed inimestele, varale ja keskkonnale üldiselt. Suurõnnetusi põhjustavate tegurite ja osaliste hulk on lai, kuna õnnetused võivad juhtuda inimtegevuse tagajärel, sh tööstusrajatiste käitamise või terrorirünnakute tõttu, või neid võivad põhjustada loodusnähtused nagu maavärinad, üleujutused, tormid jms.

The effectiveness of rapid response interventions depends to a very large extent of what has been achieved in advance to prepare for the adequate means and equipments to be dispatched on-site and intervene there; hence, the need to give to preparedness all the attention it deserves and adequately support it.

Sellistes kriisiolukordades täidavad kodanikukaitses osalejad väga olulist rolli, nad peavad suurõnnetuse juhtumisel väga kiiresti reageerima ja aitama kaasa õnnetuse tagajärgede reguleerimisele ja leevendamisele, aidates vähendada inimohvreid, vigastusi, varalist ja majanduslikku kahju ning keskkonnakahjustusi.

The effectiveness and efficiency of civil protection actors within the Member States may clearly benefit from a pooling of their resources and mutual assistance; such concerted action would also benefit the people and local communities affected by major emergencies.

Kiirreageerimismissioonide edukus sõltub suurel määral sellest, mida on varem tehtud vajalike vahendite ja varustuse ettevalmistamisel nende kohapeale saatmiseks ja seal kasutamiseks; seetõttu tuleb valmisolekule pöörata vajalikku tähelepanu ja seda küllaldaselt toetada.

The Community has a legitimate role to fulfil in that context since it can help to go and act beyond the boundaries of one specific State. To that effect, a mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions has been established in 2001[1]. This mechanism facilitates making support available in the event of major emergencies which may require urgent response action through the mobilisation of intervention teams, experts and other resources, as required, through a reinforced Community civil protection structure consisting of a monitoring and information centre and a common emergency communication and information system. It also provides an opportunity for collecting validated emergency information, for disseminating that information to the Member States and for sharing lessons learnt from interventions.

Liikmesriikide kodanikukaitses osalejate edukus ja tõhusus ressursside ühendamisel ja vastastikusel abistamisel kindlasti paraneb; kooskõlastatud tegevus aitab ka suurõnnetusse sattunud inimesi ja kohalikke kogukondi.

The provision of Community financial support, which in itself is not new (see below), clearly constitutes a useful contribution of the Community to the operations and interventions of civil protection actors taking duly into account the subsidiarity principle (see below).

Ühendusel on selles kontekstis põhjendatud roll, kuna tema saab tegutseda enam kui ühe konkreetse riigi piirides. Selleks loodi 2001. aastal ühenduse mehhanism tugevdatud koostöö soodustamiseks kodanikukaitse abimissioonidel.[1] Mehhanism lihtsustab abi kättesaadavust suurõnnetuse korral, mis võib nõuda viivitamatut tegutsemist päästemeeskondade, ekspertide ja muude vajalike ressursside mobiliseerimisel ühenduse tugevdatud kodanikukaitse struktuuri kaudu, mis koosneb järelevalve- ja teabekeskusest ning ühisest hädaolukordade side- ja infosüsteemist. Samuti annab see võimaluse koguda hädaolukorra kohta kontrollitud teavet, edastada see teave liikmesriikidele ja jagada missioonidel saadud kogemusi.

- Existing provisions in the area of the proposal

Ühenduse rahaline toetus, mis iseenesest ei ole uus nähtus (vt allpool), on lähimuspõhimõtet arvesse võttes ühenduse selgelt kasulik panus kodanikukaitses osalejate operatsioonidesse ja missioonidesse.

The Community has developed a series of measures and actions in the field of civil protection, in particular:

- Olemasolevad sätted ettepaneku valdkonnas

i) Council Decision 1999/847/EC of 9 December 1999 established a Community action programme in the field of civil protection, which was to expire by the end of 2004, but which was extended until the end of 2006[2].

Ühendus on välja töötanud mitmeid kodanikukaitse alaseid meetmeid ja tegevusi, eelkõige:

ii) Council Decision 2001/792/EC, Euratom of 23 October 2001 establishing a Community mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions.

i) Nõukogu 9. detsembri 1999. aasta otsus 1999/847/EÜ, millega kehtestatakse ühenduse kodanikukaitsealane tegevusprogramm, mille kehtivus pidi lõppema 2004. aasta lõpus, kuid mida pikendati 2006. aasta lõpuni.[2]

The first instrument/programme has a specific deadline and is accompanied by multi-annual specific budgets; it will end in 2006. The latter instrument, however, has no financial nature; it lays down obligations for the Member States and the Commission.

ii) Nõukogu 23. oktoobri 2001. aasta otsus 2001/792/EÜ, EURATOM, millega kehtestatakse ühenduse mehhanism tugevdatud koostöö soodustamiseks kodanikukaitse abimissioonidel.[3]

This proposal will constitute, once adopted, the new legal basis for granting Community financial support to civil protection actions and measures in the field of preparedness and rapid response.

Esimesel rahastamisvahendil/programmil on kindel tähtaeg ja konkreetne mitmeaastane eelarve; ta lõpeb 2006. aastal. Teisel dokumendil ei ole rahalist iseloomu; ta kehtestab komisjoni ja liikmesriikide kohustused.

To that effect, the proposal build sup on the existing instruments while widening and setting out in more detail the actions eligible for funding. The range of actions that could potentially be financed under the proposal, in terms of preparedness and rapid response, is wide since the Instrument to be established could finance actions ranging from capacity building assistance, demonstration projects, awareness and dissemination actions to training and exercises, dispatching and sending out of experts and mobilisation on short notice of adequate means and equipment. Particular attention has also been given to identify logistical support actions, such as secure communication systems and tools, which are necessary for the proper achievement of rapid response interventions.

Käesoleva ettepaneku näol, juhul kui ta vastu võetakse, on tegemist uue õigusliku alusega, mille järgi antakse ühenduse rahaline tugi kodanikukaitse abinõudele ja meetmetele kiirreageerimise ja valmisoleku valdkonnas.

Since the extra EU activities of the Community Civil Protection Mechanism are covered by the Stability Instrument, the proposed instrument applies to its internal activities.

Seetõttu rajaneb ettepanek olemasolevatel rahastamisvahenditel, laiendades ja sätestades üksikasjalikumalt rahastamiseks kõlblikke meetmeid. Ettepaneku alusel rahastatavate võimalike kiirreageerimise ja valmisoleku alaste meetmete hulk on suur, kuna rajatav rahastamisvahend võib rahastada meetmeid alates suutlikkuse suurendamisest, näidisprojektidest, teadlikkuse tõstmisest ja info levitamisest kuni koolituse ja treeningute, ekspertide lähetamise ja kohapeale saatmise ning vajalike vahendite ja varustuse kiire mobiliseerimiseni. Samuti on erilist tähelepanu pööratud logistilise toetuse meetmetele, näiteks turvalistele sidesüsteemidele ja -vahenditele, mis on vajalikud kiirreageerimismissioonide nõuetekohaseks läbiviimiseks.

In addition, taking into account the evolution of the relevant Community regulatory framework, the proposal incorporates new provisions about the monitoring of financed actions to ensure sound financial management of the instrument as well as other measures to ensure the adequate protection of the Community financial interests.

Kuna ühenduse kodanikukaitse mehhanismi EL-väline tegevus on kaetud stabiliseerimisvahendiga, rakendatakse kavandatavat vahendit EL-sisestes tegevusvaldkondades.

- Consistency with other policies and objectives of the Union

Lisaks sellele, võttes arvesse ühenduse vastava reguleeriva raamistiku arengut, sisaldab ettepanek uusi sätteid rahastatud meetmete järelevalve kohta, et tagada rahastamisvahendi usaldusväärne finantsjuhtimine, samuti muid meetmeid ühenduse finantshuvide piisavaks kaitsmiseks.

The proposal builds to a certain extent on existing policy instruments which have to be supplemented in any case because of their time-limited nature. Together with the new EUSF, whose scope has been enlarged to all major emergencies regardless of their origin, it closes a gap in current legislation and allows for comprehensive Community action in response to major emergencies and crisis situations.

- Kooskõla Euroopa Liidu teiste poliitikavaldkondade ja eesmärkidega

Particular attention has been given to avoid duplication with actions carried out under other Community policies and instruments. Consistency with other Community policies, in particular in the fields of justice, liberty and security policy and external relations, is ensured by a number of provisions which, among others, clearly define the scope of the instrument and exclude double financing.

Ettepanek rajaneb teatud osas olemasoleva poliitika rahastamisvahenditel, mida tuleb nende ajalise piiratuse tõttu tingimata täiendada. Koos uue EL solidaarsusfondiga, mille reguleerimisala on laiendatud kõikidele suurõnnetustele nende põhjustest hoolimata, täidab ta lünga kehtivates õigusaktides ning võimaldab ühendusel suurõnnetustele ja kriisiolukordadele igakülgselt reageerida

2. CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Erilise tähelepanuga on püütud vältida teiste ühenduse poliitikate ja vahenditega võetud meetmete kordamist. Kooskõla teiste ühenduse poliitikatega, eelkõige õiguse, vabaduse ja julgeoleku ning välissuhete valdkonnas, tagatakse mitmete sätetega, mis muuhulgas selgesti määratlevad rahastamisvahendi reguleerimisala ja välistavad topeltrahastamise.

- Consultation of interested parties

2. Konsulteerimine huvitatud pooltega ja mõju hindamine

Regular evaluations of past and current Community initiatives in this field have been made, in close consultation with relevant stakeholders at Member States level. They have always been positive.

- Konsulteerimine huvitatud pooltega

Acknowledging the work undertaken in the framework of the Mechanism, the European Council and the Council have repeatedly called upon the Commission to continue and intensify its efforts in this field. Similarly, the European Parliament has called for a further strengthening of cooperation in the field of civil protection.

Ühenduse käigusolevaid ja varasemaid algatusi selles valdkonnas on tihedas koostöös asjakohaste huvirühmadega liikmesriikide tasandil korrapäraselt hinnatud. Hinnangud on alati olnud kiitvad.

- Collection and use of expertise

Tunnustades kodanikukaitse mehhanismi raames tehtud tööd, on Euroopa Ülemkogu ja nõukogu korduvalt kutsunud komisjoni üles jätkama ja tugevdama jõupingutusi selles valdkonnas. Samuti on Euroopa Parlament esitanud üleskutseid kodanikukaitse alase koostöö edasiseks tugevdamiseks.

229There was no need for external expertise.

- Ekspertarvamuste kogumine ja kasutamine

3. LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL

Välisekspertiisi korraldamine ei olnud vajalik.

- 305 Summary of the proposed action

3. Ettepaneku õiguslik külg

The proposal aims to establish a Preparedness and Rapid Response Instrument for major emergencies, which should contribute to the development and implementation of Community civil protection measures, as a contribution to help improving the effectiveness of systems for preparing for and responding to major emergencies.

- Kavandatava meetme kokkuvõte

The proposal contains provisions which fit its predominant financial nature since the latter set out rules and procedures on issues such as: the specific objectives the financing of which under the Instrument would contribute to achieve; actions eligible under the Instrument; beneficiaries; financial and implementing measures; monitoring; protection of Community financial interests; as well as the appropriate institutional provisions.

Ettepaneku eesmärk on sisse seada suurõnnetusteks valmisoleku ja neile kiirreageerimise rahastamisvahend, mis aitaks kaasa ühenduse kodanikukaitsemeetmete arengule ja rakendamisele, parandades suurõnnetusteks valmisolekut ja reageerimissüsteemide tõhusust.

- 310 Legal basis

Ettepanekus on tema eelkõige rahandusliku olemuse tõttu sätestatud eeskirjad ja menetlused järgmistel teemadel: rahastamise erieesmärgid, mille saavutamisele rahastamisvahend kaasa aitab; rahastamisvahendi alusel abikõlblikud meetmed; abisaajad; rahastamis- ja rakendusmeetmed; järelevalve; ühenduse finantshuvide kaitse; samuti vajalikud institutsioonilised sätted.

According to Article 3(1)(u) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the activities of the Community is to include measures in the sphere of civil protection.

- Õiguslik alus

Civil protection intervention is also relevant in respect of radiological emergencies; hence, the need to base this proposal also on the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom Treaty).

Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingu artikli 3 lõike 1 punkti u kohaselt peab ühenduse tegevus hõlmama kodanikukaitse alaseid meetmeid.

In the absence of an ad hoc civil protection legal basis in neither the Treaty establishing the European Community nor the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, this proposal is based on Articles 308 and 203, respectively, of those Treaties.

Kodanikukaitsemissioonid hõlmavad ühtlasi kiirgushädaolukordi, seega tuleb käesoleva ettepaneku aluseks võtta ka Euroopa Aatomienergiaühenduse asutamisleping (EURATOMi asutamisleping).

These two legal bases are compatible and can be cumulated since they provide for the same decision-making procedure.

Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingus ega Euroopa Aatomienergiaühenduse asutamislepingus ei ole kodanikukaitse õiguslikku alust otseselt sätestatud, seepärast põhineb käesolev ettepanek vastavalt nimetatud lepingute artiklitel 308 ja 203.

- Subsidiarity principle

Need kaks õiguslikku alust on kokkusobivad ning neid võib ühendada, sest nende kohta on ette nähtud sama otsustamismenetlus.

The subsidiarity principle applies since the proposal does not fall under the exclusive competence of the Community.

- Lähimuspõhimõte

The proposal is justified in light of the subsidiarity principle insofar as its objectives cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and that Community action will better achieve them.

Lähimuspõhimõtet kohaldatakse, sest ettepanek ei kuulu ühenduse ainupädevusse.

The objectives of the proposal cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States for the following reasons.

Lähimuspõhimõtet silmas pidades on käesolev ettepanek põhjendatud, kuna liikmesriigid ei saa tema eesmärke täielikult täita ning ühenduse tegevuse korral on eesmärgid paremini täidetavad.

When an emergency occurs, immediate response is needed in order to fight its consequences. No country is prepared to every and each eventuality. Therefore, it is more efficient and cost effective to draw on assistance offered by other States.

Liikmesriigid ei saa ettepaneku eesmärke täielikult täita järgmistel põhjustel.

The new instrument will allow, inter alia, Member States to respond to major emergencies and crisis situations where their own means would not be sufficient to do so. States usually do not scale their rapid response means and equipment on the basis of the worst possible scenario since this would usually exceed their financial possibilities. (It is difficult to establish and maintain all year long large teams and a significant number of heavy intervention equipment, such as fire-fighting planes, while major emergencies can, for certain types of them, only occur infrequently, but with severe consequences, or typically during a limited period of time in the year.)

Hädaolukorra tekkimisel tuleb tagajärgedega võitlemiseks vahetult reageerida. Ükski riik ei ole valmis kõikideks võimalikeks juhtumiteks. Seega on tõhusam ja tasuvam kasutada teiste riikide pakutavat abi.

Similarly, if the preparedness of the requesting Member State is not sufficient for an adequate response to a major emergency in terms of available resources, that State would be able to supplement its preparedness by availing itself of the support made available by the instrument.

Uus rahastamisvahend võimaldab liikmesriikidel muuhulgas reageerida suurõnnetustele ja kriisiolukordadele juhtudel, kus nende oma vahendid ei oleks selleks piisavad. Riigid tavaliselt ei varu kiirreageerimise vahendeid ja varustust mustima stsenaariumi kohaselt, kuna see ületaks nende rahalised võimalused. (Oleks raske luua ja aasta läbi pidada suuri meeskondi ja suurt hulka missioonide raskevarustust, näiteks tuletõrjelennukeid, kui teatud tüüpi väga raskete tagajärgedega suurõnnetusi juhtub harva või teatud piiratud ajal aastas.)

Community action will better achieve the objectives of the proposal for the following reasons.

Samamoodi saaks abi taotlev liikmesriik, kelle valmisolek suurõnnetusele vajalikul määral reageerida ei ole kättesaadavate ressursside mõttes piisav, täiendada oma valmisolekut rahastamisvahendist kättesaadavaks tehtud abi taotledes.

Community cooperation, inasmuch as it supports and supplements national policies in the field of civil protection, will contribute to make them more effective; pooling of experience and mutual assistance will help to reduce the loss of human life, injuries, material damage and economic and environmental damage throughout the Community, making the objectives of social cohesion and solidarity more tangible.

Ühenduse tegevuse korral on eesmärgid paremini täidetavad järgmistel põhjustel.

Rapid response is triggered further to a request for assistance of the Member State (or other participating State) which activates the mechanism established by Decision 2001/792/EC, Euratom. The sending of such a request signals that the affected country considers itself that there is a need for Community coordination and the provision of mutual assistance by other Member States (and participating States).

Ühenduse koostöö, mis toetab ja täiendab riikide kodanikukaitsepoliitikat, aitab neil seda tõhusamaks muuta; kogemuste vahetamine ja vastastikune abi aitavad vähendada inimohvreid, vigastusi, varalist ja majanduslikku kahju ning keskkonnakahjustusi kõikjal ühenduses ning muudavad sotsiaalse ühtekuuluvuse ja solidaarsuse eesmärgid reaalsemaks.

The proposal therefore complies with the subsidiarity principle in as far as Community action aims at complementing and not replacing national capacities

Kiirreageerimise vahendid võetakse kasutusele, kui liikmesriik (või muu osalisriik) esitab abitaotluse, mis aktiveerib otsusega 2001/792/EÜ kehtestatud mehhanismi. Abitaotluse esitamine näitab, et kannatanud riik peab ise vajalikuks ühenduse koordineerimist ja teiste liikmesriikide (või muude osalisriikide) vastastikust abi.

- Proportionality principle

Seega on ettepanek lähimuspõhimõttega kooskõlas seni, kuni ühenduse tegevuse eesmärk on täiendada ja mitte asendada riikide suutlikkusvõimet.

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reasons.

- Proportsionaalsuse põhimõte

The purpose of the Instrument is beneficial in essence to the civil protection actors insofar as they will receive financial assistance. The related procedures and obligations imposed on beneficiaries are limited to what is strictly required to ensure lawful and sound financial management, since no additional requirements are provided in addition to what is required under the relevant Community legislation (that is, the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities). Provisions on monitoring and the protection of the Community financial interests are however required in any case.

Ettepanek on proportsionaalsuse põhimõttega kooskõlas järgmistel põhjustel.

The administrative burden falling upon the Community and national authorities is limited and do not go beyond what is required to allow the Commission exercise its overall responsibility for the execution of the Community budget. For instance, no specific format (going beyond what the Financial Regulation provides) is required for submitting applications for funding.

Käesoleva rahastamisvahendi eesmärk on kasulik eelkõige kodanikukaitses osalejatele, kuna nemad saavad rahalist abi. Sellega seotud menetlused ja abisaajate kohustused on piiratud nendega, mis on seaduslikuks ja usaldusväärseks finantsjuhitmiseks tingimata vajalikud, kuna ühenduse asjakohastele õigusaktidele (Euroopa ühenduste üldeelarve suhtes kohaldatav finantsmäärus) lisaks ei ole kehtestatud täiendavaid nõudmisi. Ühenduse finantshuvide jälgimise ja kaitse sätted on siiski igal juhul vajalikud.

Particular attention has also been given to ensuring that the procedures to be followed in the event of rapid response to major emergencies provide for the required flexibility allowing urgent action to be taken.

Ühenduse ja siseriiklike asutuste kanda jääv halduskoorem on piiratud ega ületa komisjonile ühenduse eelarve täitmiseks antud vastutusega seotud piire. Näiteks ei nõuta rahastamistaotluste jaoks erivormi (mis ületaks finantsmääruses sätestatud piire).

- Choice of instruments

Erilise tähelepanuga on jälgitud, et suurõnnetusele kiirreageerimise puhul järgitav menetlus oleks piisavalt paindlik ja võimaldaks viivitamatut meetmete võtmist.

It is proposed to use a Regulation.

- Vahendite valik

Other means would not be adequate since the nature and content of some of the obligations provided for in the proposal can only be achieved through a directly applicable legal instrument.

On ettepanek kasutada määrust.

4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION

Teised vahendid ei oleks piisavad, kuna mõne ettepanekus sisalduva kohustuse laad ja sisu eeldab vahetult kohaldatava õigusliku vahendi kasutamist.

T he proposed instrument aims at financing civil protection activities in the field of preparedness and rapid response.

4. mõju eelarvele

As far as the preparedness is concerned, the following actions should be financed:

Kavandatava rahastamisvahendi eesmärk on rahastada kodanikukaitse alast tegevust kiirreageerimise ja valmisoleku valdkonnas.

- training, exercises, workshops, exchange of staff and experts estimated at EUR 8.665 to 12.915 million per year;

Valmisolekut käsitlevate meetmete osas tuleks rahastada järgmisi meetmeid:

- establishment and maintenance of secure communication system and tools estimated at EUR 1 million per year;

- koolitus, õppused, õpikojad, töötajate ja ekspertide vahetamine, hinnanguliselt 8,665-12,915 miljonit eurot aastas;

- as well as studies, surveys, modelling, scenario building and contingency planning; capacity building assistance; demonstration projects; technology transfer; awareness and dissemination actions; communication actions; provision of adequate means and equipment and monitoring assessment and evaluation, estimated at EUR 2.635 to 3.875 million per year.

- turvaliste sidesüsteemide ja -vahendite loomine ja hooldamine, hinnanguliselt 1 miljon eurot aastas;

The annual estimation in the field of preparedness sums up to EUR 12.3 to 17.79 million per year. The estimations are based on the cost of the actions realized in 2004 and 2005 in this field.

- samuti uuringud, kaardistamine, mudelite ja stsenaariumide väljatöötamine ning situatsiooniplaneerimine; suutlikkuse suurendamine; näidisprojektid; tehnosiire; teadlikkuse tõstmine ja info levitamine; teabevahetuse meetmed; vajalike vahendite ja varustusega kindlustamine ning järelevalve ja hindamine, hinnanguliselt 2,635-3,875 miljonit eurot aastas.

Concerning the rapid response, the following actions should be financed by the proposed Instrument:

Valmisoleku valdkonnas aasta jooksul makstav summa ulatub 12,3-17,79 miljoni euroni. Arvutused põhinevad selles valdkonnas aastatel 2004-2005 elluviidud meetmetel.

- transportation and associated logistical support for experts, liaison officers, observers, intervention teams, equipment and mobile facilities; estimated at EUR 2.4 to 6 million per year

Kiirreageerimist käsitlevate meetmete osas peaks kavandatav rahastamisvahend toetama järgmisi meetmeid:

- dispatching and sending out of experts, liaison officers and observers; estimated EUR 0.3 to 0.4 million per year

- ekspertide, kontaktametnike, vaatlejate, päästemeeskondade, varustuse ja teisaldatavate seadmete transport ning sellega seotud logistiline tugi, hinnanguliselt 2,4-6 miljonit eurot aastas;

- mobilisation on short notice of adequate means and equipment, estimated at up to EUR 4.81 million per year.

- ekspertide, kontaktametnike ja vaatlejate lähetamine ja kohapeale saatmine, hinnanguliselt 0,3-0,4 miljonit eurot aastas;

The annual estimation in the field disaster response sums up to EUR 2.7 to 11.21 million. The estimations are based on the cost of the actions realized in 2004 and 2005 in this field.

- vajalike vahendite ja varustuse mobiliseerimine lühikese etteteatamisaja järel, hinnanguliselt 4,81 miljonit eurot aastas.

The overall annual budget for this instrument is therefore estimated at EUR 15 to 29 million per year.

Suurõnnetusele kiirreageerimise valdkonnas aasta jooksul makstav summa ulatub 2,7-11,21 miljoni euroni. Arvutused põhinevad selles valdkonnas aastatel 2004-2005 elluviidud meetmetel.

Moreover, it is appropriate to earmark an amount of EUR 1 million per year to finance the technical assistance actions foreseen by the proposed instrument. Therefore the total amount is estimated to be EUR 173 million for the period of seven years.

Käesoleva rahastamisvahendi kogu aastane eelarve on seega hinnanguliselt 15-20 miljonit eurot.

2005/0052 (CNS)

Lisaks sellele tuleks eraldada 1 miljon eurot aastas kavandatavas rahastamisvahendis ette nähtud tehnilise abi meetmete rahastamiseks. Seega on kogusumma 7 aastaks hinnanguliselt 173 miljonit eurot.

võttes arvesse Euroopa Aatomienergiaühenduse asutamislepingut, eriti selle artiklit 203,

Whereas:

võttes arvesse komisjoni ettepanekut, [4]

(1) Under Article 3(1)(u) of the EC Treaty, the activities of the Community are to include measures in the sphere of civil protection.

võttes arvesse Euroopa Parlamendi arvamust,[5]

(2) To that effect, a Community mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions was established by Council Decision 2001/792/EC, Euratom[5].

ning arvestades järgmist:

(3) It is necessary to establish a Rapid Response and Preparedness Instrument under which financial assistance may be given, as a contribution to improving the effectiveness of systems for preparing for and responding to major emergencies, in particular in the context of Decision 2001/792/EC, Euratom.

(1) Vastavalt EÜ asutamislepingu artkli 3 lõike 1 punktile u peab ühenduse tegevus hõlmama kodanikukaitse alaseid meetmeid.

(4) This Instrument will ensure the visible expression of Community solidarity towards countries affected by major emergencies by facilitating the provision of mutual assistance through mobilisation of Member States intervention assets.

(2) Selleks loodi nõukogu otsusega 2001/792/EÜ, Euratom[6] ühenduse mehhanism tugevdatud koostöö soodustamiseks kodanikukaitse abimissioonidel.

(5) Major emergencies may result from natural, industrial and technological disasters, or from acts of terrorism.

(3) On vaja sisse seada suurõnnetustele kiirreageerimise ja nendeks valmisoleku rahastamisvahend, mille alusel saab anda rahalist abi, aitamaks tõsta suurõnnetusteks valmisoleku ja neile reageerimise süsteemide tõhusust.

(6) This Instrument should also contribute to the Community’s preparedness and rapid response capability to deal with the public health effects arising from major emergencies without, however, affecting the actions and measures provided for in Decision […] of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a programme of Community action in the field of health and consumer protection (2007-2013)[6].

(4) Rahastamisvahend väljendab selgelt ühenduse solidaarsust suurõnnetuste tõttu kannatanud riikide suhtes, soodustades liikmesriikide päästeressursse mobiliseerides vastastiku abi andmist.

(7) It is appropriate, for reasons of coherence, that rapid response actions which are realised outside the Community be covered by Council Regulation (EC) No […] of […] establishing an Instrument for Stability[7]. For the same reason actions falling under Council Decision […] establishing the specific Programme “Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management on Terrorism” or relating to the maintenance of law and order and the safeguarding of internal security should not be covered by the Instrument.

(5) Suurõnnetusi võivad põhjustada loodus-, tööstus- ja tehnoloogilised katastroofid või terroriaktid.

(8) In order to ensure the effectiveness of the operation of the Instrument, it is appropriate that actions for which financial assistance is granted have a potential to make a practical and timely contribution to preparedness for and rapid response to major emergencies. Criteria should therefore be laid down for the assessment of that potential.

(6) Rahastamisvahend peaks samuti toetama ühenduse valmidust ja kiirreageerimisvõimet tegeleda suurõnnetustest tulenevate mõjudega rahvatervisele, mõjutamata siiski Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu otsusega […]/2005, millega kehtestatakse ühenduse tegevusprogramm tervishoiu ja tarbijakaitse valdkonnas (2007/2013),[7] ettenähtud tegevusi ja meetmeid.

(9) The award of public procurement contracts and grants under this Regulation should be implemented in accordance with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) N° 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities[8]. Due to the specific nature of action in the field of civil protection, it is appropriate to provide that grants may also be awarded to natural persons.

(7) Järjepidevuse huvides on vajalik, et väljaspool ühendust rakendatavad kiirreageerimismeetmed oleksid hõlmatud nõukogu [kuupäev] määrusega (EÜ) nr […]/2005, millega kehtestatakse stabiliseerimisvahend.[8] Samal põhjusel ei tohiks rahastamisvahendit kohaldada meedete suhtes, mis kuuluvad nõukogu otsuse […]/2005, millega kehtestatakse eriprogramm „Terrorismi ennetamine, selleks valmisolek ja selle tagajärgede likvideerimise korraldamine“ kohaldamisalasse või mis on seotud avaliku korra säilitamise ning sisejulgeoleku kaitsmisega.

(10) Participation of third countries should be possible as this would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the operation of the Instrument.

(8) Rahastamisvahendi tõhusaks kohaldamiseks on vajalik, et meetmetega, millele antakse rahalist abi, on võimalik praktiliselt ja õigeagselt toetada suurõnnetusteks valmisolekut ja neile kiirreageerimist. Seetõttu tuleks meetmete panuse hindamiseks sätestada kriteeriumid.

(11) In order to improve the Commission’s ability to follow the implementation of this Regulation, it should be possible, at the initiative of the Commission, to finance expenditure related to the monitoring, control, audit and evaluation thereof.

(9) Riigihankelepingute sõlmimine ja toetuste andmine käesoleva määruse alusel tuleb viia läbi vastavalt nõukogu 25. juuni 2002. aasta määrusele (EÜ, Euratom) nr 1605/2002, mis käsitleb Euroopa ühenduste üldeelarve suhtes kohaldatavat finantsmäärust.[9] Kodanikukaitsealase tegevuse eripära tõttu on vaja sätestada, et toetusi võib anda ka füüsilistele isikutele.

(12) Appropriate provision should be made in order to ensure adequate monitoring of the implementation of the actions receiving financial assistance under the Instrument.

(10) Kolmandate riikide osalemine peaks olema võimalik, kuna see suurendaks rahastamisvahendi kohaldamise tulemuslikkust ja tõhusust.

(13) Appropriate measures should also be taken to prevent irregularities and fraud and the necessary steps should be taken to recover funds lost, wrongly paid or incorrectly used in accordance with Council Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 of 18 December 1995 on the protection of the Communities financial interests[9], and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 of 11 November 1996 concerning on-the-spot checks and inspections carried out by the Commission[10].

(11) Võimaldamaks komisjonil tõhusamalt jälgida käesoleva määruse rakendamist, peaks komisjoni algatusel olema võimalik rahastada selle järelevalve, kontrolli, auditeerimise ja hindamisega seotud kulusid.

(14) The application of this Regulation should be evaluated regularly

(12) Tuleks ette näha asjakohased sätted, et tagada rahastamisvahendi alusel rahalist abi saavate meetmete rakendamise nõuetekohane järelevalve.

(15) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission[11].

(13) Tuleks võtta asjakohaseid meetmeid rikkumiste ja pettuste vältimiseks ning astuda vajalikke samme, et nõuda tagasi kadumaläinud, valesti makstud või ebaõigesti kasutatud vahendid vastavalt nõukogu 18. detsembri 1995. aasta määrusele (EÜ, Euratom) nr 2988/95 Euroopa ühenduste finantshuvide kaitse kohta[10] ja nõukogu 11. novembri 1996. aasta määrusele (EÜ, Euratom) nr 2185/96, mis käsitleb komisjoni tehtavat kohapealset kontrolli ja inspekteerimist.[11]

(16) The objectives of the proposed action cannot, in the light of the scale and effects of the actions to be financed under the Instrument, taking into account the benefits resulting from the operation of this Regulation in terms of reducing the loss of human life, injuries, environmental, economic and material damage, be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore better achieved at Community level. The Community may therefore adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain these objectives.

(14) Käesoleva määruse kohaldamist tuleks korrapäraselt hinnata.

(17) The Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community do not provide powers for adopting this Regulation other than those under Articles 308 and 203, respectively,

(15) Käesoleva määruse rakendamiseks vajalikud meetmed tuleks vastu võtta vastavalt nõukogu 28. juuni 1999. aasta otsusele 1999/468/EÜ, millega kehtestatakse komisjoni rakendusvolituste kasutamise menetlused.[12]

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(16) Liikmesriigid ei suuda kavandatavate meetmete eesmärke täielikult saavutada, arvestades rahastamisvahendi alusel finantseeritavate meetmete ulatust ja mõju ning võttes arvesse käesoleva määruse kohaldamisest tulenevat kasu, inimohvrite, vigastuste, majandusliku kahju, keskkonnakahjustuste ja varalise kahju vähendamise tähenduses ning seetõttu võib neid paremini saavutada ühenduse tasandil. Ühendus võib seega võtta meetmeid kooskõlas EÜ asutamislepingu artiklis 5 sätestatud lähimuspõhimõttega. Kõnealuses artiklis sätestatud proportsionaalsuse põhimõtte kohaselt ei lähe käesolev määrus nimetatud eesmärkide saavutamiseks vajalikust kaugemale.

Article 1

(17) 18) Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingus ja Euroopa Aatomienergiaühenduse asutamislepingus ei nähta käesoleva määruse vastuvõtmiseks ette muid volitusi peale nende, mis on sätestatud vastavalt artiklite 308 ja 203 alusel,

Protection of Community financial interests

5. Komisjon võtab tarvitusele kõik vajalikud abinõud kontrollimaks, kas rahastatavaid meetmeid rakendatakse nõuetekohaselt ja käesoleva määruse ning finantsmääruse kohaselt.

1. The Commission shall ensure that, when actions financed under the present Regulation are implemented, the financial interests of the Community are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by effective checks and by the recovery of the amounts unduly paid and, if irregularities are detected, by effective, proportional and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96, and with Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council[12].

Artikkel 12

2. For the Community actions financed under this Instrument, Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 and Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 shall apply to any infringement of a provision of Community law, including infringements of a contractual obligation stipulated under the Instrument, resulting from an act or omission by an economic operator, which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the Communities or budgets managed by them, by an unjustified item of expenditure.

Ühenduse finantshuvide kaitse

3. The Commission shall reduce, suspend or recover the amount of financial assistance granted for an action if it finds irregularities, including non-compliance with the provisions of this Regulation or the individual decision or the contract granting the financial support in question, or if it transpires that, without prior Commission approval having being sought in writing, the action has been subjected to a change which conflicts with the nature or implementing conditions of the project.

1. Komisjon tagab, et käesoleva määruse alusel rahastatavate meetmete rakendamisel kaitstakse ühenduse finantshuve, kohaldades pettust, korruptsiooni ja muid ebaseaduslikke tegevusi ennetavaid meetmeid, tõhusaid kontrolle ja põhjendamatult makstud summade sissenõudmist ning eeskirjade eiramise korral proportsionaalseid ja hoiatavaid karistusi vastavalt määrustele (EÜ, Euratom) nr 2988/95 ja (Euratom, EÜ) nr 2185/96 ning Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrusele (EÜ) nr 1073/1999[13].

4. If the time limits have not been observed or if only part of the allocated financial assistance is justified by the progress made with implementing an action, the Commission shall request the beneficiary to submit observations within a specified period. If the beneficiary does not give a satisfactory answer, the Commission may cancel the remaining financial assistance and demand repayment of sums already paid.

The general objective of the proposal is to support and complement the efforts of Member States in the field of rapid response and preparedness, in particular in the context of the Community Civil Protection Mechanism. The following specific needs are targeted:

5. CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES

- The need to ensure a strong, effective and well-coordinated European response by the Community Civil Protection Mechanism to major disasters;

5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term

- the need to improve preparedness for emergencies, i.a. through the implementation of a more robust training system that enables national professionals to participate effectively in European interventions in the framework of the Community Civil Protection Mechanism;

- the need to improve the interoperability of means and systems, including civil-military interoperability, i.a. through simulations exercises and by developing strategies for improved interoperability;

- the need to ensure a strong, effective and well-coordinated European response by the Community Civil Protection Mechanism to major disasters;

- the need to ensure greater availability of civil protection resources for European assistance by working with Member States on establishing scenarios, developing assistance modules and filling gaps in resources availability (e.g., standby arrangements);

- the need to improve preparedness for emergencies , i.a. through the implementation of a more robust training system that enables national professionals to participate effectively in European interventions in the framework of the Community Civil Protection Mechanism;

- the need to improve awareness and information to the public on risks, risk management and the appropriate behaviour in case of emergencies;

- the need to strengthen the analytical, assessment and operational planning capacity of the Monitoring and Information Centre so as to enable it to respond more rapidly and effectively to disasters;

- the need to strengthen on site coordination of assistance and to ensure better integration of military resources in civil protection interventions;

- the need to improve awareness and information to the public on risks, risk management and the appropriate behaviour in case of emergencies;

- the need to enhance communication and coordination between the many different actors involved in emergency response;

- the need to strengthen the analytical, assessment and operational planning capacity of the Monitoring and Information Centre so as to enable it to respond more rapidly and effectively to disasters;

- the need to ensure better visibility of European assistance, i.a. through common insignia for on site personnel;

- the need to strengthen on site coordination of assistance and to ensure better integration of military resources in civil protection interventions;

Information systems: 300.000 € per year. The costs included here relate to the hosting of the CECIS by the Commission, as well as to the purchase and maintenance of IT and communication tools necessary to make the Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC) fully operational. The MIC is a crisis centre linking the national civil protection centres, hosted and operated within the premises of the Commission. It is managed directly by the Commission and aims at supporting and facilitating the mobilisation of civil protection assistance in the event of major disasters. To perform its general functions, as set out in Council Decision 2001/792, the MIC needs to receive alerts of all disasters immediately and needs to be in a position to quickly assess and analyse its possible impact. This requires the use of advanced information systems, including geographic information systems, and communication tools, linking the MIC to all existing disaster alert systems. Softwares, IT applications and communication tools are needed to support the MIC’s general functioning and ensure full interoperability with early warning and disaster alert systems.
