en	Introduction
sl	Uvod

en	The EU has scaled up its operations and increased its humanitarian aid budget to EUR 163 million to meet the needs of the most vulnerable.
sl	EU je okrepila operacije in povečala proračun za humanitarno pomoč na 163 milijonov EUR, da bi lahko izpolnila potrebe najbolj ranljivih.

en	A key challenge faced by the humanitarian system in recent years has been the growing gap between a rising number of people in need and a lack of resources to assist them.
sl	Glavni izziv, s katerim se humanitarni sistem sooča v zadnjih letih, je rastoča vrzel med naraščajočim številom ljudi v stiski in pomanjkanjem virov, s katerimi bi jim pomagali.

en	It targets highly vulnerable communities in some of the most disaster-prone regions of the world.
sl	Osredotoča se na zelo ranljive skupnosti v regijah, ki so na svetu med nesrečam najbolj izpostavljenimi.

en	ECHO ensured rapid and effective delivery of EU relief assistance with the help of 328 staff members at its headquarters in Brussels and through its extensive field network.
sl	GD ECHO je zagotovil hitro in učinkovito nujno pomoč EU s pomočjo 328 uslužbencev na sedežu v Bruslju in prek obširne mreže na terenu.

en	This was in line with the EU's comprehensive approach to conflicts and crises and ensured that military actors had a clear understanding of the humanitarian issues and respect for the modus operandi of humanitarian aid.
sl	To je bilo v skladu s celovitim pristopom EU h konfliktom in krizam ter je zagotovilo, da so vojaški akterji jasno razumeli humanitarna vprašanja in spoštovali način delovanja humanitarne pomoči.

en	In 2014, the EU maintained its support for DIPECHO​[12]​ programmes for Africa and the Indian Ocean, Central Asia and the Caucasus, South-East Asia, and Central and South America.
sl	EU je v letu 2014 še naprej namenjala podporo programom DIPECHO​[12]​ za Afriko in Indijski ocean, srednjo Azijo in Kavkaz, jugovzhodno Azijo ter Srednjo in Južno Ameriko.

en	Education requires a longer-term approach that cannot be entirely provided by humanitarian aid, so Commission departments (notably ECHO and DEVCO) maintained their close policy cooperation on education in emergencies in 2014.
sl	Za izobraževanje je potreben dolgoročen pristop, ki ga humanitarna pomoč ne more v celoti zagotoviti, zato so službe Komisije (zlasti GD ECHO in GD DEVCO) v letu 2014 tesno sodelovale na področju politike izobraževanja v izrednih razmerah.

en	More coordinated response action and improved prevention and preparedness ensure that lives are saved and assistance meets the most acute needs of those affected.
sl	Bolj usklajeno odzivanje ter izboljšana preprečevanje in pripravljenost omogočajo, da se lahko rešujejo življenja in da pomoč izpolni najnujnejše potrebe prizadetih.

en	South Sudan, the youngest and one of the poorest countries in the world, has witnessed a surge in internal tension and fighting.
sl	V Južnem Sudanu, najmlajši državi na svetu in tudi eni od najrevnejših, je prišlo do porasta notranjih napetosti in bojevanja.

en	The focus is currently on preparing the implementing rules for the initiative: standards (safety, volunteer management, working conditions, etc.) combined with a certification mechanism for future sending and hosting organisations and a common training programme for all future Aid Volunteers.
sl	Sedaj je največ pozornosti usmerjene v pripravo izvedbenih pravil za pobudo, in sicer v zvezi: s standardi (na področju varnosti, upravljanja prostovoljstva, delovnih pogojev itd.), skupaj z mehanizmom certificiranja za organizacije, ki bodo v prihodnosti pošiljale in gostile prostovoljce, ter skupnim programom usposabljanja za vse prihodnje prostovoljce za humanitarno pomoč.

en	The Commission held in‑depth discussions with Member States and partners at the ECHO Partners Conference on 25-26 November 2014 in Brussels with a view to preparing forward‑looking policy papers for the European consultation that took place in Budapest in February 2015.
sl	Komisija je na konferenci partnerjev GD ECHO, ki je potekala 25. in 26. novembra 2014 v Bruslju, z državami članicami in partnerji vodila poglobljene razprave, da bi pripravila v prihodnost usmerjene dokumente o politikah za evropsko posvetovanje, ki je februarja 2015 potekalo v Budimpešti.

sl	Ta prizadevanja se bodo nadaljevala, ko se bodo trenutne izredne razmere ponovno normalizirale.

en	During the reporting period, political and technical contacts between the EU and the United States continued at a high pace.

en	These measures are linked to entry restrictions to the United States based on the physical presence in the areas concerned, and not the nationality of the travellers and are therefore not linked with visa reciprocity.
sl	Ti ukrepi so povezani z omejitvami vstopa v Združene države Amerike na podlagi fizične prisotnosti na zadevnih območjih in ne na državljanstvo potnikov, zato niso povezani z vizumsko vzajemnostjo.

en	Cyprus remained under the 3% threshold, with the refusal rate at 2.78%.
sl	Ciper je ostal pod pragom 3 %, pri čemer je stopnja zavrnitev znašala 2,78 %.

en	In that Communication it was noted that with the active support of the Commission, the vast majority of the non-reciprocity cases notified as regards third countries had been solved.
sl	V sporočilu je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila z dejavno podporo Komisije rešena velika večina priglašenih primerov nevzajemnosti v tretjih državah.

sl	Na srečanju so bile obravnavane tehnične zahteve programa za odpravo vizumov ter politični pomen doseganja popolne vizumske vzajemnosti.

en	As United States interlocutors explained, the United States sees the Visa Waiver Program not only as a travel facilitation program, but also as a security program.
sl	Kot so pojasnili sogovorniki iz Združenih držav Amerike, Združene države Amerike vidijo program za odpravo vizumov ne le kot program za poenostavitev potovanj, temveč tudi kot varnostni program.

en	It was also acknowledged that numerous Visa Waiver Program requirements fall within the remit of bilateral cooperation between the United States and individual Member States.
sl	Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da številne zahteve programa za odpravo vizumov spadajo na področje dvostranskega sodelovanja med Združenimi državami Amerike in posameznimi državami članicami.

en	Compared to the self-assessment matrix, provided in 2018 to the Member States concerned to be able to track the fulfilment of basic Visa Waiver Program requirements, the questionnaire provides a much more in-depth overview of those requirements.
sl	V primerjavi s samoocenjevalno matriko, ki je bila leta 2018 zagotovljena zadevnim državam članicam, da bi lahko spremljale izpolnjevanje osnovnih zahtev programa za odpravo vizumov, vprašalnik vsebuje veliko bolj poglobljen pregled teh zahtev.

en	For countries that are already members of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, the visa requirement applies only to travellers who are not eligible to apply through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
sl	Za države, ki so že članice programa ZDA za odpravo vizumov, vizumska obveznost velja le za potnike, ki niso upravičeni do prijave prek elektronskega sistema za odobritev potovanja (ESTA).

en	Side meetings were held with various stakeholders, including with Congress staffers, to raise awareness of the visa reciprocity issue, regarding the measures taken by the EU to reinforce the EU external borders and internal security.

sl	Stanja nevzajemnosti s Kanado, Avstralijo, Brunejem in Japonsko so bila rešena in dosežena je bila popolna vzajemna odprava vizumske obveznosti.

en	However, the Communication recalled that, if the third country concerned had not lifted the visa requirement by 12 April 2016, Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001, as amended by the European Parliament and Council by Regulation (EU) No 1289/2013 of 11 December 2013, obliged the Commission to adopt a delegated act suspending for 12 months the visa waiver for nationals of that third country.
sl	Vendar sporočilo opozarja, da mora Komisija v primeru, da zadevna tretja država do 12. aprila 2016 ni odpravila vizumske obveznosti, v skladu z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 539/2001 z dne 15. marca 2001, kakor je bila spremenjena z Uredbo (EU) št. 1289/2013 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 11. decembra 2013, sprejeti delegirani akt, s katerim za 12 mesecev začasno zadrži izvzetje iz vizumske obveznosti za državljane te tretje države.

en	This was the second time that the tripartite talks had taken place in Washington D.C., at the invitation of the United States side, a gesture which was welcomed by the EU side as it enabled further contacts with a wide range of U.S. counterparts and other key interlocutors.
sl	To je bilo drugič, da so tristranski pogovori potekali v Washingtonu D.C. na povabilo ZDA, kare je EU podprla, saj je to omogočilo nadaljnje stike s številnimi sogovorniki iz ZDA in drugimi ključnimi sogovorniki.

en	The April 2016 Communication assessed the consequences and impact of the suspension of the visa waiver for EU citizens and businesses as well as nationals of the third countries concerned, and invited the European Parliament and the Council to discuss the most appropriate way forward.
sl	V sporočilu iz aprila 2016 so bile ocenjene posledice in učinki začasnega zadržanja izvzetja iz vizumske obveznosti za državljane in podjetja EU ter državljane zadevnih tretjih držav, hkrati pa je Komisija pozvala Evropski parlament in Svet, naj začneta razprave o najustreznejšem načinu nadaljnjega ukrepanja.

en	However, the non-immigrant visa refusal rate for countries with visa-free travel to the United States is not a comparable indicator.
sl	Vendar pa stopnja zavrnitev izdaje neimigrantskega vizuma za države z režimom potovanj brez vizumov v Združene države Amerike ni primerljiv kazalnik.

en	The Regulation also required that the Commission take into account the consequences of the suspension of the visa waiver for the external relations of the EU and its Member States.
sl	V uredbi je bilo tudi določeno, da mora Komisija upoštevati posledice začasnega zadržanja izvzetja iz vizumske obveznosti na zunanje odnose EU in njenih držav članic.

en	Among the four Member States, some appear to be closer to fulfilling these requirements and to be considered for designation into the Visa Waiver Program, however there are concrete prospects of progress for all of them, notwithstanding the current exceptional situation of COVID-19 global pandemic.
sl	Izmed štirih držav članic se zdi, da so nekatere bližje izpolnitvi teh zahtev in temu, da bodo obravnavane za uvrstitev v program za odpravo vizumov, vendar pa obstajajo dejanske možnosti za napredek za vse te države, ne glede na trenutne izredne razmere zaradi svetovne pandemije COVID-19.

en	The participants at the tripartite meeting acknowledged that the visa refusal rate is not encompassed by the questionnaire, even though it is one of the main legal obstacles to join the Visa Waiver Program for the majority of the Member States concerned.
sl	Udeleženci tristranskega srečanja so potrdili, da v vprašalniku ni vključena stopnja zavrnitev vlog za izdajo vizuma, čeprav je to ena od glavnih pravnih ovir za vključitev v program za odpravo vizumov za večino zadevnih držav članic.

en	According to visa refusal statistics for the fiscal year 2019, the visa refusal rates for three of the four Member States concerned remain above the required 3% threshold (Bulgaria 9.75%, Croatia 4.02% and Romania 9.11%).

en	Such a breakdown, with figures on specific locations or trends in key consulates with a high refusal rate, would notably help the Member States to better target their outreach campaigns and in this way bring the visa refusal rate down further.
sl	Taka razčlenitev s podatki o posameznih lokacijah ali trendih na ključnih konzulatih, ki imajo visoko stopnjo zavrnitev, bi zlasti pomagala državam članicam, da bi bolje usmerile svoje kampanje ozaveščanja in tako dodatno znižale stopnjo zavrnitev vlog za izdajo vizuma.

en	The next tripartite meeting to be held in spring 2020 would be an occasion to revisit progress made on the work-plans by each of the four remaining Member States, and the issue will be revisited, to monitor progress, at the next Ministerial meeting in Croatia in May 2020.
sl	Naslednje tristransko srečanje, ki bo spomladi 2020, bi bilo priložnost za ponovno preučitev napredka, doseženega v zvezi z delovnimi načrti vsake od preostalih štirih držav članic, nato pa bo to vprašanje ponovno obravnavano na naslednjem ministrskem srečanju na Hrvaškem maja 2020.

en	According to United States legislation, as stipulated in the United States Immigration and Nationality Act, the aspiring countries for the Visa Waiver Program must have a refusal rate for non-immigrant visas of less than 3% per year or a two-year average of less than 2%.
sl	V skladu z zakonodajo Združenih držav Amerike mora biti, kot je določeno v zakonu ZDA o priseljevanju in državljanstvu, stopnja zavrnitev vlog za izdajo neimigrantskega vizuma v državah, ki si prizadevajo postati članice programa za odpravo vizumov, na letni ravni manj kot triodstotna ali pa mora biti njeno dvoletno povprečje manj kot dvoodstotno.

en	A follow-up discussion would take place at the next tripartite meeting in November 2019, with the objective of taking action in those areas.
sl	Na naslednjem tristranskem srečanju novembra 2019 bi nato na tej podlagi potekala razprava z namenom, da se na teh področjih sprejmejo ukrepi.

en	The meeting recognised the progress made, took note of the process which was agreed at the May 2019 tripartite meeting and approved the way forward, i.e. the United States' assessment of the Member States' replies to the U.S. questionnaire would serve as the basis for future discussions, with the aim to lead to concrete actions.
sl	Na srečanju je bil ugotovljen napredek, zabeležil se je postopek, ki je bil dogovorjen na tristranskem srečanju maja 2019, in potrdilo nadaljnje ukrepanje, tj. ocena, ki jo bodo ZDA opravile na podlagi odgovorov držav članic na vprašalnik ZDA, bo služila kot osnova za prihodnje razprave, ki naj bi privedle do konkretnih ukrepov.

en	Although most of the requirements fall under bilateral cooperation between the United States and the Member State concerned, visa reciprocity is a fundamental principle of EU visa policy, which warrants the Commission's ongoing involvement and engagement.
sl	Čeprav večina zahtev spada v okvir dvostranskega sodelovanja med Združenimi državami Amerike in zadevno državo članico, je vizumska vzajemnost temeljno načelo vizumske politike EU, kar upravičuje stalno sodelovanje in prizadevanja Komisije.

en	All four Member States concerned committed to working on the basis of the work-plans, to providing further comments to the U.S. and to starting a continuous dialogue on the actions suggested in the respective work-plans.
sl	Vse štiri zadevne države članice so se zavezale delu na podlagi delovnih načrtov, zagotavljanju nadaljnjih pripomb ZDA in začetku stalnega dialoga o ukrepih, predlaganih v zadevnih delovnih načrtih.

en	The Commission remains committed to achieving full visa reciprocity for all Member States as a matter of priority.
sl	Komisija je zavezana doseganju popolne vizumske vzajemnosti za vse države članice, kar ostaja prednostna naloga.

en	Discussions focused on the tailored work-plans, which were provided by U.S. authorities to each of the four Member States concerned, based on their respective national replies to the detailed U.S. questionnaire.
sl	Razprave so bile osredotočene na prilagojene delovne načrte, ki so jih organi ZDA predložili vsaki od štirih zadevnih držav članic, in sicer na podlagi njihovih nacionalnih odgovorov na podrobni vprašalnik ZDA.

en	Against this background, the Commission currently considers that the adoption of a delegated act temporarily suspending the exemption from the visa requirement for nationals of the United States would be counterproductive at this point in time and it would not serve to achieve the objective of visa-free travel for all EU citizens.
sl	Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija meni, da bi imelo sprejetje delegiranega akta o začasnem zadržanju izvzetja iz vizumske obveznosti za državljane Združenih držav Amerike v tem trenutku nasprotni učinek od želenega in ne bi prispevalo k doseganju cilja potovanj brez vizumov za vse državljane EU.

en	The Commission continued to urge the United States at all possible occasions to further cooperate with the Member States concerned and to accelerate progress towards full visa reciprocity.
sl	Komisija je še naprej ob vsaki priložnosti pozivala Združene države Amerike, naj še naprej sodelujejo z zadevnimi državami članicami in pospešijo napredek pri doseganju popolne vizumske vzajemnosti.

en	It also welcomes the progress of the Member States concerned towards meeting the requirements of the Visa Waiver Program, which will enable them to be considered for designation into the programme.
sl	Hkrati pozdravljat tudi napredek zadevnih držav članic pri izpolnjevanju zahtev programa za odpravo vizumov, kar bo omogočilo, da se bo obravnavala njihova uvrstitev v program.

en	This Communication takes stock of progress made towards visa reciprocity with the United States since December 2018, and in particular reports on progress achieved by Poland which joined the United States Visa Waiver Program in November 2019.
sl	To sporočilo povzema napredek, dosežen v zvezi z vizumsko vzajemnostjo z Združenimi državami Amerike od decembra 2018, in zlasti poroča o napredku Poljske, ki se je programu ZDA za odpravo vizumov pridružila novembra 2019.

en	In coordination with the Member States concerned, the Commission renewed calls for these efforts to lead to intensified and concrete action on all sides, on the basis of objective criteria.
sl	Komisija je v sodelovanju z zadevnimi državami članicami ponovno pozvala, naj ta prizadevanja vodijo k okrepljenim in konkretnim ukrepom na obeh straneh, ti pa naj bi temeljili na objektivnih merilih.

en	The next tripartite meeting planned for spring 2020, circumstances allowing, should take forward the technical work based on the work-plans provided by the United States to each of the four remaining Member States, and allow the Member States to operationalise the Visa Waiver Program security requirements.
sl	Na naslednjem tristranskem srečanju, načrtovanem za pomlad 2020, če bodo okoliščine dovoljevale, bi bilo treba nadaljevati s tehničnim delom na podlagi delovnih načrtov, ki so jih Združene države Amerike predložile vsaki od preostalih štirih držav članic, in državam članicam omogočiti izvajanje varnostnih zahtev programa za odpravo vizumov.

en	Extraordinary as the times may be in terms of implementation of visa policies world-wide, the Commission considers it still of importance to report in the present Communication on the steps taken in the reporting period, especially during the course of 2019 before the COVID-19 global pandemic erupted, to achieve full visa reciprocity with the United States for all Member States.
sl	Čeprav se vizumske politike po vsem svetu izvajajo v izrednih razmerah, Komisija meni, da je še vedno pomembno, da to sporočilo poroča o ukrepih, sprejetih v obdobju poročanja, zlasti v letu 2019 pred izbruhom svetovne pandemije COVID-19, za dosego popolne vizumske vzajemnosti z Združenimi državami Amerike za vse države članice.

en	While welcoming the entry of Poland into the Visa Waiver Program as a significant matter of progress, it was stressed that securing waivers for the four remaining Member States remained a priority.
sl	Čeprav se strinjata z dejstvom, da je bil vstop Poljske v program za odpravo vizumov pomemben korak naprej, je bilo poudarjeno, da je zagotovitev odprave vizumov za preostale štiri države članice še naprej prednostna naloga.

en	The U.S. Department of Homeland Security then determines whether the country meets the requirements and assesses that the country's designation into the Visa Waiver Program would not detrimentally affect the United States interests, after which the Secretary of Department of Homeland Security can designate a country into the Visa Waiver Program.
sl	Ministrstvo ZDA za domovinsko varnost nato ugotovi, ali država izpolnjuje zahteve, in oceni, ali uvrstitev države v program za odpravo vizumov ne bi škodljivo vplivala na interese Združenih držav Amerike, potem pa lahko državni sekretar ministrstva za domovinsko varnost državo uvrsti v program za odpravo vizumov.

en	The tripartite meeting, which took place in Brussels on 13 November 2019, was the occasion to report on the entry of Poland into the United States Visa Waiver Program.
sl	Tristransko srečanje, ki je potekalo 13. novembra 2019 v Bruslju, je bilo priložnost za poročanje o vstopu Poljske v program Združenih držav za odpravo vizumov.

en	The work-plans contain actions for Visa Waiver Program compliance regarding security requirements.
sl	Delovni načrti vsebujejo ukrepe za izpolnitev varnostnih zahtev programa za odpravo vizumov.

en	Measures temporarily restricting non-essential travel on a global level have become widespread.
sl	Močno se je povečalo število ukrepov, ki začasno omejujejo nenujna potovanja na svetovni ravni.

en	On 6 November 2019, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, after having certified that Poland fulfils the necessary statutory and policy requirements, designated Poland into the Visa Waiver Program.
sl	Ministrstvo ZDA za domovinsko varnost je 6. novembra 2019, potem ko je potrdilo, da Poljska izpolnjuje potrebne zakonske in politične zahteve, Poljsko uvrstilo v program za odpravo vizumov.

en	Polish representatives were encouraged to share their experiences with the remaining Member States concerned regarding their successful approach to addressing the Visa Waiver Program requirements.
sl	Poljski predstavniki so bili pozvani, naj s preostalimi zadevnimi državami članicami delijo svoje izkušnje v zvezi s svojim uspešnim pristopom k izpolnjevanju zahtev programa za odpravo vizumov.

en	The next tripartite meeting, planned for the spring 2020 circumstances allowing, will focus on the progress in actions identified in the work-plans.
sl	Naslednje tristransko srečanje, načrtovano za pomlad 2020, če bodo okoliščine dovoljevale, bo osredotočeno na napredek pri ukrepih, opredeljenih v delovnih načrtih.

en	The Commission reiterates its intention to actively support the four Member States concerned and to work closely with them in order to help them fulfil the requirements for U.S. Visa Waiver Program designation.
sl	Komisija ponavlja, da namerava dejavno podpirati zadevne štiri države članice in tesno sodelovati z njimi, da bi jim pomagala izpolniti zahteve za uvrstitev v program ZDA za odpravo vizumov.

en	Romania has also recorded a decrease, from 11.76% in 2017 and 10.44% in 2018 to 9.11% in 2019.
sl	Romunija je prav tako zabeležila zmanjšanje, in sicer z 11,76 % v letu 2017 in 10,44 % v letu 2018 na 9,11 % v letu 2019.

en	Overall, the fact that one Member States recently joined the U.S. Visa Waiver Program and the ongoing results-oriented process underway for the remaining Member States shows there is a concrete perspective for all four Member States concerned to continue making progress based on objective requirements.
sl	Na splošno dejstvo, da se je ena od držav članic nedavno pridružila programu ZDA za odpravo vizumov, in na rezultate osredotočen postopek, ki trenutno poteka za preostale države članice, kažeta, da imajo vse štiri zadevne države članice dejansko možnost za nadaljnji napredek na podlagi objektivnih zahtev.

en	The matter was also thoroughly discussed at technical levels, at the occasion of the bi-annual EU-U.S. Justice and Home Affairs Senior Officials' meetings - held in Bucharest in February 2019, in Brussels in September 2019, and in Rovinj in March 2020, and the tripartite meetings (held between the Commission, the United States and the Member States concerned) in Washington D.C. in May 2019 and in Brussels in November 2019.
sl	Vprašanje je bilo tudi temeljito obravnavano na tehnični ravni, in sicer na polletnih srečanjih med visokimi uradniki EU in ZDA na področju pravosodja in notranjih zadev, ki so potekala februarja 2019 v Bukarešti, septembra 2019 v Bruslju in marca 2020 v Rovinju, ter na tristranskih srečanjih (ki so potekala med Komisijo, Združenimi državami Amerike in zadevnimi državami članicami) maja 2019 v Washingtonu D.C. in novembra 2019 v Bruslju.

en	In its latest Communications on visa reciprocity from December 2017 and December 2018, the Commission provided an overview of the state of play and the way forward as regards the situation of non-reciprocity with the United States (notified by Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania), as the only remaining case of non-reciprocity.
sl	Komisija je v svojih zadnjih sporočilih o vizumski vzajemnosti iz decembra 2017 in iz decembra 2018 predstavila pregled stanja nevzajemnosti z Združenimi državami Amerike (ki so ga priglasili Bolgarija, Hrvaška, Ciper, Poljska in Romunija) in možnosti nadaljnjega ukrepanja, saj so Združene države Amerike edini preostali primer nevzajemnosti.

en	On 12 April 2016, the Commission presented a Communication on the state of play and the possible ways forward as regards the situation of non-reciprocity with certain third countries in the area of visa policy.
sl	Komisija je 12. aprila 2016 predstavila sporočilo o stanju nevzajemnosti z nekaterimi tretjimi državami na področju vizumske politike in možnostih nadaljnjega ukrepanja.

en	It was acknowledged that the tailored work-plans elaborated by the U.S. for the four Member States concerned was a good way to advance, as they provide much needed clarity and concrete guidance towards reaching compliance with the Visa Waiver Program security requirements.
sl	Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so prilagojeni delovni načrti, ki so jih ZDA pripravile za zadevne štiri države članice, dober način za napredovanje, saj zagotavljajo potrebno jasnost in konkretne smernice za doseganje skladnosti z varnostnimi zahtevami programa za odpravo vizumov.

en	In this context, visa reciprocity was discussed at all relevant official meetings between the EU and the United States during the reporting period, particularly at high political level at the bi-annual EU-U.S. Justice and Home Affairs Ministerial meetings held in Bucharest in May 2019 and in Washington D.C. in December 2019.
sl	V tem okviru je bila vizumska vzajemnost v obdobju poročanja obravnavana na vseh zadevnih uradnih srečanjih med EU in Združenimi državami Amerike, zlasti na visoki politični ravni na polletnih srečanjih med ministri EU in ZDA za pravosodje in notranje zadeve, organiziranih v Bukarešti maja 2019 in v Washingtonu D.C. decembra 2019.

en	Following the political endorsement of the way forward at the EU-U.S. JHA Ministerial meeting in June 2019, work on security requirements continued on the basis of the United States questionnaire (see section II.2) and work-plans individually tailored for each Member State concerned.
sl	Po politični potrditvi nadaljnjega ukrepanja na srečanju med ministri EU in ZDA za pravosodje in notranje zadeve junija 2019 se je nadaljevalo delo na področju varnostnih zahtev na podlagi vprašalnika ZDA (glej oddelek II.2) in posameznih delovnih načrtov, prilagojenih za vsako zadevno državo članico.

en	While acknowledging the ongoing consular cooperation and the need to safeguard the visa decision-taking independence of United States' consular staff, the Commission and Member States concerned again called on the United States to provide a detailed breakdown of visa refusal rates.
sl	Ob upoštevanju sedanjega konzularnega sodelovanja in potrebe po zaščiti neodvisnosti reševanja vizumskih vlog s strani konzularnega osebja Združenih držav Amerike, so Komisija in zadevne države članice ponovno pozvale Združene države Amerike, naj zagotovijo podrobno razčlenitev stopenj zavrnitev vlog za izdajo vizuma.

en	Both sides committed to continue working together, in the appropriate frameworks, to support the remaining four EU Member States concerned in their efforts towards designation into the Visa Waiver Program.
sl	Obe strani sta se zavezali, da bosta v ustreznih okvirih še naprej sodelovali pri podpori preostalih zadevnih štirih držav članic EU pri njihovih prizadevanjih za uvrstitev v program za odpravo vizumov.

en	[15: Visa refusal rate for Poland for fiscal year 2019 dropped from 3.99% to 2.76%, bringing it under the legally required 3% threshold.
sl	[15: Stopnja zavrnitev vlog za izdajo vizuma za Poljsko v proračunskem letu 2019 se je s 3,99 % zmanjšala na 2,76 %, kar pomeni, da je bila pod zakonsko določenim pragom, ki znaša 3 %.

en	The consular sections are cooperating with the local authorities with a view to bring the visa refusal rate down, while safeguarding the independence of United States' consular officers in their work of adjudicating visa applications.
sl	Konzularne službe sodelujejo z lokalnimi organi, da bi se znižala stopnja zavrnitev vlog za izdajo vizuma, hkrati pa ohranila neodvisnost konzularnih uradnikov ZDA pri reševanju vlog za izdajo vizumov.

en	In line with the commitments to provide more concrete guidance to the Member States concerned, the United States presented a detailed questionnaire (developed by the Department of Homeland Security) in order to map technical Visa Waiver Program security requirements in a more transparent way.
sl	V skladu z zavezami, da bodo zadevnim državam članicam zagotovile konkretnejše smernice, so Združene države Amerike predstavile podroben vprašalnik (ki ga je pripravilo ministrstvo ZDA za domovinsko varnost), na podlagi katerega bi se pregledneje opredelile tehnične varnostne zahteve programa za odpravo vizumov.

sl	Zlasti ob upoštevanju vstopa Poljske v program Združenih držav za odpravo vizumov in stalnega napredka, ki ga dosegajo druge zadevne države članice, Komisija še naprej šteje, da sta sodelovanje in skupno diplomatsko delovanje, pri katerem Komisija tesno sodeluje z zadevnimi državami članicami, še vedno najustreznejša za nadaljnje ukrepanje.

en	The Commission's proposal was transmitted to the European Parliament and to the Council on 6 May 2013.
sl	Predlog Komisije je bil predložen Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu 6. maja 2013.

en	To allow for more time to implement the legislation, the Council proposed an overall transitional period of 60 months instead of 36 as proposed by the Commission.
sl	Da bi se zagotovilo več časa za izvajanje zakonodaje, je Svet predlagal splošno prehodno obdobje 60 mesecev namesto 36 mesecev, ki jih je predlagala Komisija.

en	The Council also supported the Parliament on the involvement of stakeholders in the consultation.
sl	Svet je podprl Parlament tudi pri vključevanju zainteresiranih strani v posvetovanja.

en	The position of the European Parliament included 331 amendments to the Commission's proposal.
sl	Stališče Evropskega parlamenta je vključevalo 331 sprememb predloga Komisije.

en	As part of the overall agreement, the Commission exceptionally agreed to make a statement.
sl	Kot del splošnega dogovora se je Komisija izjemoma strinjala, da bo predložila izjavo.

en	The European Parliament adopted its position at first reading on 15 April 2014 and supported the main goals of the Commission's proposal.
sl	Evropski parlament je svoje stališče v prvi obravnavi sprejel 15. aprila 2014 in podprl glavne cilje predloga Komisije.

en	The Commission cannot accept the amendments of the European Parliament which are contrary to Article 290(2) of TFEU.
sl	Komisija sprememb Evropskega parlamenta, ki so v nasprotju s členom 290(2) PDEU, ne more sprejeti.

en	The European Parliament did not object this requirement.
sl	Evropski parlament tej zahtevi ni nasprotoval.

en	However, those amendments were not ideally placed in the text.
sl	Vendar te spremembe niso bile najbolje umeščene v besedilo.

en	The Parliament's concern was that those categories of animals should not be excluded from Union legislation.
sl	Pomislek Parlamenta je bil, da navedene kategorije živali ne bi smele biti izključene iz zakonodaje Unije.

en	5.1 Statement by the Commission on animal welfare
sl	5.1 Izjava Komisije o dobrobiti živali

en	The Council in its position wanted to recognise the importance of the Commission's consultation with experts, including Member States' experts, and amended the proposal accordingly.
sl	Svet je hotel v svojem stališču priznati pomembnost posvetovanj Komisije s strokovnjaki, vključno s strokovnjaki držav članic, in predlog ustrezno spremenil.

en	The Commission is fully committed to paying full regard to animal welfare in accordance with Article 13 of the Treaty and within the limits set out therein, including ensuring full implementation and appropriate development of this legislation.
sl	Komisija je v celoti zavezana popolnemu upoštevanju dobrobiti živali v skladu s členom 13 Pogodbe in v okviru omejitev, določenih v njej, vključno z zagotavljanjem popolnega izvajanja in ustreznega razvoja te zakonodaje.

en	The Commission believes that such descriptive provisions are unnecessary as they are provided for in the Commission's proposal for a Regulation on official controls (COM (2013) 265, 2013/0140/COD).
sl	Komisija meni, da so take opisne določbe nepotrebne, saj jih določa že predlog Komisije za uredbo o uradnem nadzoru (COM(2013) 265, 2013/0140/COD).

en	Due to the political importance of the new title and the fact that the proposal indeed focuses on transmissible animal diseases, the Commission accepts the change.
sl	Zaradi politične pomembnosti novega naslova in ker se predlog dejansko osredotoča na prenosljive živalske bolezni, Komisija spremembo sprejema.

en	This is in line with the Commission's views that tasks can be delegated to other professionals as long as this is in line with international standards and subsidiarity and proportionality are respected.
sl	To je v skladu z mnenjem Komisije, da se naloge lahko prenesejo na druge strokovnjake, vse dokler je to v skladu z mednarodnimi standardi ter se spoštujeta subsidiarnost in sorazmernost.

en	The Commission could accept these additions as they contribute to overall traceability and are coherent with the requirements of the existing animal health legislation.
sl	Komisija bi te dodatke lahko sprejela, saj prispevajo k sledljivosti na splošno in so v skladu z zahtevami obstoječe zakonodaje o zdravju živali.

en	The Commission cannot agree with these amendments because the tasks and responsibilities of those laboratories are covered in the proposal for a Regulation on official controls.
sl	Komisija se s temi spremembami ne more strinjati, ker naloge in pristojnosti navedenih laboratorijev zajema predlog uredbe o uradnem nadzoru.

en	The Council accepted in principle amendment 94 and was supportive of the joint statement.
sl	Svet je spremembo 94 načeloma sprejel in izrazil podporo skupni izjavi.

en	It also requested additional transitional measures, such as those obliging the Commission to adopt certain key delegated acts at least 24 months before the date of application of the Regulation and for other delegated and implementing acts to determine a period of at least six months between the adoption of the initial set of such acts and their application.
sl	Poleg tega je zahteval tudi dodatne prehodne ukrepe, kot so tisti, ki Komisijo obvezujejo, da določene ključne delegirane akte sprejme vsaj 24 mesecev pred datumom začetka veljavnosti uredbe in da za druge delegirane in izvedbene akte določi vsaj šestmesečno obdobje med sprejetjem prvega sklopa teh aktov in njihovim začetkom izvajanja.

en	Date of transmission of the proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council (document COM(2013) 260 final - 2013/0136 COD): 6 May 2013.
sl	Datum predložitve predloga Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu (dokument COM(2013) 260 final - 2013/0136 COD): 6. maj 2013.

en	This compromise, addressing the concerns of both co-legislators, is acceptable for the Commission as it provides for clearer rules to deal with emerging diseases.
sl	Ta kompromis, ki upošteva pomisleke obeh sozakonodajalcev, je za Komisijo sprejemljiv, saj zagotavlja jasnejša pravila za obravnavo porajajočih se bolezni.

en	Background
sl	Ozadje

en	This clarification is acceptable for the Commission.
sl	To pojasnilo je za Komisijo sprejemljivo.

en	The Council's position is acceptable for the Commission as a general compromise and also taking into account the time needed to develop the supporting delegated and implementing legislation.
sl	Stališče Sveta je za Komisijo sprejemljivo kot splošen kompromis in upošteva čas, potreben za razvoj podporne delegirane in izvedbene zakonodaje.

en	The Commission is in support of those solutions, which follow the line of its proposal and add clarity.
sl	Komisija podpira navedene rešitve, ki sledijo njenemu predlogu in mu dodajajo jasnost.

en	However, it can agree to the wording in the Council position whereby it would consult experts, stakeholders and the European Food Safety Authority, as well as engage in wider public consultations, when and as appropriate.
sl	Vendar se lahko strinja z ubeseditvijo v stališču Sveta, v skladu s katerim bi se s strokovnjaki, zainteresiranimi stranmi in Evropsko agencijo za varnost hrane posvetovala, prav tako pa bi izvedla širša javna posvetovanja, ko in če bi bilo to primerno.

en	The Council also requested a reporting obligation in a recital or in an Article, while avoiding any unnecessary administrative burden.
sl	Tudi Svet je zahteval obveznost poročanja v uvodni izjavi ali členu, hkrati pa se je želel izogniti kakršnemu koli nepotrebnemu upravnemu bremenu.

en	Antimicrobial resistance: the European Parliament adopted several amendments on antimicrobial resistance.
sl	Protimikrobna odpornost: Evropski parlament je sprejel več sprememb v zvezi s protimikrobno odpornostjo.

en	Nonetheless, the European Parliament wanted to obtain re-assurances that equal level of controls would be kept in the future for bovine animals which is reflected in a new recital.
sl	Kljub temu je Evropski parlament želel ponovna zagotovila, da bodo v prihodnosti ohranjene enake ravni nadzora za govedo, kar se odraža v novi uvodni izjavi.

en	Some small issues were accepted by the Commission in part, but were not specifically included in the final Council position as in the course of the negotiations they had become redundant or were already explained elsewhere or implicitly included in the proposal (for example amendments 4, 8, 26, 45, 156, 222 and 277).
sl	Nekaj manjših vprašanj je Komisija delno sprejela, a niso bila izrecno vključena v končno stališče Sveta, saj so med pogajanji postala nepotrebna ali so bila razložena že drugje ali posredno vključena v predlog (na primer spremembe 4, 8, 26, 45, 156, 222 in 277).

en	TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
sl	EVROPSKEMU PARLAMENTU

en	The Commission supports the Council's position as strategic measures for non-listed diseases are a matter of subsidiarity.
sl	Komisija podpira stališče Sveta, ker so strateški ukrepi za bolezni, ki jih ni na seznamu, vprašanje subsidiarnosti.

en	Defining those animals as a separate category could cause confusion, legal uncertainty and potentially restrict the measures that can be taken with respect to them.
sl	Opredelitev navedenih živali v ločenih kategorijah bi lahko povzročila zmedo, pravno negotovost in potencialno omejila ukrepe, ki se lahko sprejmejo v zvezi z njimi.

en	The Union has a well-developed acquis regarding animal welfare covering different species (broilers, laying hens, pigs, calves) or activities (farming, transport, slaughter, research, etc.).
sl	Unija ima dobro razvit pravni red glede dobrobiti živali, ki zajema različne vrste (brojlerje, kokoši nesnice, prašiče, teleta) ali dejavnosti (kmetovanje, prevoz, zakol, raziskave itd.).

en	The Parliament recognised the value of these additional essential elements providing more detailed criteria for disease listing and categorisation.
sl	Parlament je priznal vrednost teh dodatnih bistvenih elementov, ki določajo podrobnejša merila za uvrščanje bolezni na seznam in njihovo razvrščanje.

en	The European Parliament also insisted on the adjustment of Article 9 (amendment 94) setting up a responsibility of operators for a responsible use of veterinary medicines as in their view such a clear obligation was needed in the EU legislation to establish a link with the proposal on veterinary medicines (COM(2014) 558, 2014/0257 (COD)).
sl	Evropski parlament je vztrajal tudi pri prilagoditvi člena 9 (sprememba 94), s katero bi se vzpostavila odgovornost izvajalcev dejavnosti za odgovorno uporabo zdravil za uporabo v veterinarski medicini, saj meni, da je bila taka jasna obveza v zakonodaji EU potrebna za povezavo s predlogom o zdravilih za uporabo v veterinarski medicini (COM(2014) 558, 2014/0257 (COD)).

en	Contrary to Article 290 (2) TFEU, some of those amendments set out a legally binding obligation for the Commission to conduct these consultations.
sl	Nekatere izmed navedenih sprememb v nasprotju s členom 290(2) PDEU Komisiji nalagajo pravno zavezujoče obveznosti, da izvede ta posvetovanja.

en	On emerging diseases, the European Parliament in its amendments 176 and 177 requested to take more and clearer measures.
sl	V zvezi s porajajočimi se boleznimi je Evropski parlament v svojih spremembah 176 in 177 zahteval sprejetje večjega števila jasnejših ukrepov.

en	The Council did not incorporate the European Parliament's amendment as this provision goes beyond the scope of the proposal and would create unjustified administrative and financial burden for Member States.
sl	Svet sprememb Evropskega parlamenta ni vključil, saj ta določba presega področje uporabe predloga in bi povzročila neutemeljeno upravno in finančno breme za države članice.

en	The Commission was initially not in favour of this additional reporting duty as there are other tools, such as fitness checks and evaluations, to judge the impact of EU legislation.
sl	Komisija prvotno ni podpirala te dodatne obveznosti poročanja, saj za ocenjevanje učinka zakonodaje EU obstajajo druga orodja, kot so preverjanja ustreznosti in ocene.

en	position of the Council at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on transmissible animal diseases (Animal Health Law)
sl	stališčem Sveta v prvi obravnavi z namenom sprejetja uredbe Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o prenosljivih živalskih boleznih (pravila o zdravju živali)

en	Although on certain elements the common position differs from the Commission's original proposal, the Commission considers that it represents a carefully balanced compromise and is satisfied that it covers all issues considered essential by the Commission when adopting its proposal.
sl	Čeprav se skupno stališče v nekaterih elementih razlikuje od prvotnega predloga Komisije, Komisija meni, da to predstavlja skrbno uravnotežen kompromis, in je zadovoljna, da zajema vsa vprašanja, ki jih je štela za bistvena ob sprejemanju predloga.

en	The Council proposed amendments which clarify the ‘additional guarantees', and enable the Member States to take their own disease prevention and control measures.
sl	Svet je predlagal spremembe, ki pojasnjujejo „dodatna jamstva" in državam članicam omogočajo, da sprejmejo lastne ukrepe za preprečevanje in nadzor bolezni.

en	Review clause (report by the Commission): amendment 330 of the European Parliament asked, in an Article, the Commission to submit a report on the impact of the Regulation by 31 December 2019.
sl	Klavzula o pregledu (poročilo Komisije): Sprememba 330 Evropskega parlamenta je v obliki člena zahtevala, da Komisija do 31. decembra 2019 predloži poročilo o učinku Uredbe.

en	Transitional periods: the Council expressed concerns about the amount of legislation that would be repealed and replaced by this new animal health framework.
sl	Prehodno obdobje: Svet je izrazil pomisleke glede obsega zakonodaje, ki bi jo ta novi okvir o zdravju živali razveljavil in nadomestil.

en	Finally, the legal framework needs to be flexible yet robust enough for an effective Union response in the event of important climate changes, as well as new and unknown emerging risks, and to allow for quick adjustment to scientific developments and new international standards.
sl	Pravni okvir mora biti prožen, a hkrati dovolj trden za učinkovit odziv Unije v primeru znatnih podnebnih sprememb, pa tudi novih in neznanih porajajočih se tveganj, in da bi omogočil hitro prilagajanje znanstvenemu napredku in novim mednarodnim standardom.

en	Following the adoption of the European Parliament's first reading position, informal discussions continued between the European Parliament, the Council Presidency and the Commission, with a view to concluding an agreement at the common position stage ('early second reading agreement').
sl	Po sprejetju stališča Evropskega parlamenta iz prve obravnave so se nadaljevale neformalne razprave med Evropskim parlamentom, predsedstvom Sveta in Komisijo z namenom sklenitve sporazuma v fazi skupnega stališča („hitri dogovor v drugi obravnavi").

en	These additions are acceptable for the Commission as they ensure that the existing rights are automatically carried over to the new legal framework thereby helping to avoid unnecessary administrative burden and costs for the operators and competent authorities and providing legal certainty in the transitional period.
sl	Ti dodatki so za Komisijo sprejemljivi, saj zagotavljajo, da se obstoječe pravice samodejno prenesejo v novi pravni okvir, s tem pa se prispeva k izogibanju nepotrebnemu upravnemu bremenu in stroškom za izvajalce dejavnosti in pristojne organe ter se v prehodnem obdobju zagotavlja pravna varnost.

en	This enhanced system will give operators working in the food chain, such as farmers and veterinarians, the capability to react quickly and to limit the spread of a disease and minimise its impact on animals and consumers.
sl	Ta okrepljeni sistem bo izvajalcem dejavnosti v prehranski verigi, kot so kmetje in veterinarji, omogočil, da se hitro odzovejo in omejijo širjenje bolezni ter čim bolj zmanjšajo njen učinek na živali in potrošnike.

en	Identification and registration of dogs: the European Parliament required, in amendment 236, all Member States to set up a compulsory registration of all dogs and, when appropriate, set up a database.
sl	Identifikacija in registracija psov: Evropski parlament je v spremembi 236 zahteval, naj vse države članice uvedejo obvezno registracijo vseh psov in po potrebi vzpostavijo zbirko podatkov.

en	The Commission undertakes to publish a regular report as regards the use of antimicrobial medicinal products in animals in the EU on the basis of data made available by the Member States.
sl	Komisija se zavezuje, da bo objavljala redna poročila o uporabi protimikrobnih zdravil pri živalih v EU na podlagi podatkov, ki jih bodo dale na voljo države članice.

en	* Taking into account the developments in the informal discussions between the Council and the European Parliament following the European Parliament's first reading, the Commission did not prepare an amended proposal but expressed its views on the Parliament's amendments in the "Communication de la Commission sur les suites données aux avis et résolutions adoptés par le Parlement européen lors des sessions d'avril I et II 2014" (document SP(2014) 471 of 9 July 2014).
sl	* Ob upoštevanju razvoja dogodkov v okviru neformalnih razprav med Svetom in Evropskim parlamentom po prvi obravnavi v Evropskem parlamentu Komisija ni pripravila spremenjenega predloga, temveč je svoje stališče o spremembah s strani Parlamenta izrazila v dokumentu „Communication de la Commission sur les suites données aux avis et résolutions adoptés par le Parlement européen lors des sessions d'avril I et II 2014" (sporočilo Komisije o ukrepih, sprejetih na podlagi mnenj in resolucij, ki jih je Evropski parlament sprejel na prvem in drugem zasedanju aprila 2014) (dokument SP(2014) 471 z dne 9. julija 2014).

en	The Commission's proposal already required that animal welfare is systematically taken into account when considering the impacts of diseases and measures to combat diseases.
sl	Predlog Komisije je že zahteval, da se dobrobit živali sistematično upošteva pri obravnavi učinkov bolezni in ukrepov za boj proti njim.

en	The Commission's proposal provided for a legal basis for the possible future introduction of identification and registration requirements of different animal species, possibly including dogs.
sl	Predlog Komisije je zagotovil pravno podlago za morebitno prihodnjo uvedbo zahtev za identifikacijo in registracijo različnih živalski vrst, vključno morebiti psov.

en	Statements
sl	Izjave

en	Antimicrobial resistance was already covered in the Commission's proposal through provisions on the resistance to treatments and on the disease profile.
sl	Protimikrobna odpornost je bila v predlogu Komisije že zajeta v določbah o odpornosti na zdravljenje in o profilu bolezni.

en	Objective of the proposal from the Commission
sl	Cilj predloga Komisije

en	The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council - Action plan against the rising threats from Antimicrobial Resistance - emphasises the preventive role of the Regulation on transmissible animal diseases ("Animal Health Law") and the consequent expected reduction of the use of antibiotics in animals.
sl	Sporočilo Komisije Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu - Akcijski načrt proti naraščajoči nevarnosti protimikrobne odpornosti - poudarja preventivno vlogo uredbe o prenosljivih živalskih boleznih („zakonodaja o zdravju živali") in posledično pričakovano zmanjšanje uporabe antibiotikov pri živalih.

en	The Council shared the concerns of the European Parliament about the clarity of measures for emerging diseases and proposed a new Article.
sl	Svet se je strinjal s pomisleki Evropskega parlamenta glede jasnosti ukrepov v zvezi s porajajočimi se boleznimi in predlagal nov člen.

en	The proposal aims to improve standards and to provide a common system to better detect and control diseases, as well as to tackle health, food and feed safety risks in a coordinated way.
sl	Namen predloga je izboljšati standarde in zagotoviti skupen sistem za boljše odkrivanje in nadzor bolezni ter usklajeno obravnavo tveganj v zvezi z zdravjem in varnostjo hrane ter krme.

en	The Commission considers that the common position adopted by the Council with qualified majority reflects the original goals of the Commission's proposal and takes into account many concerns of the European Parliament.
sl	Komisija meni, da skupno stališče, ki ga je Svet sprejel s kvalificirano večino, odraža prvotne cilje predloga Komisije in upošteva mnoge pomisleke Evropskega parlamenta.

en	This went further than the current system of ‘additional guarantees', retained in the Commission proposal, whereby the Commission approves for a limited number of diseases the additional guarantees for intra-Union trade requested by a Member State, which has decided to eradicate on an optional basis one or more of those diseases.
sl	To presega sedanji sistem „dodatnih jamstev", ohranjenih v predlogu Komisije, v skladu s katerim Komisija za omejeno število bolezni na zahtevo države članice, ki se je neobvezno odločila izkoreniniti eno ali več izmed navedenih bolezni, odobri dodatna jamstva za trgovino znotraj Unije.

en	The Council's position is a good compromise towards the European Parliament's position and the Commission can therefore support it.
sl	Stališče Sveta je dober kompromis s stališčem Evropskega parlamenta in zato ga Komisija lahko podpre.

en	Both the Council and the European Parliament had reservations about repealing the Pet Regulation so soon after its adoption.
sl	Tako Svet kot Evropski parlament sta imela pomisleke glede razveljavitve uredbe o hišnih živalih tako zgodaj po njenem sprejetju.

en	The Commission considers the Council's position a suitable compromise as it meets to some extent the European Parliament's concerns while preserving the principles of the Single Market.
sl	Komisija meni, da je stališče Sveta ustrezen kompromis, saj v določeni meri obravnava pomisleke Evropskega parlamenta, hkrati pa ohranja načela enotnega trga.

en	Furthermore, the proposal introduces the categorisation, prioritisation and listing of diseases which require intervention at Union level, enabling a more risk based approach and appropriate use of resources.
sl	Predlog uvaja tudi razvrščanje, določanje prednostnega vrstnega reda in uvrščanje na seznam bolezni, ki zahtevajo ukrepanje na ravni Unije, kar bo omogočilo pristop, ki bo bolj temeljil na tveganjih, ter ustrezno rabo virov.

en	Title of the proposal: the European Parliament suggested a new title for the proposal to better describing its focus on transmissible animal diseases.
sl	Naslov predloga: Evropski parlament je predlagal nov naslov predloga, ki bi bolje opisal osredotočenost predloga na prenosljive živalske bolezni.

en	This issue was also discussed in the Council which suggested a change to the proposal to reflect it.
sl	O tem vprašanju je razpravljal tudi Svet, ki je predlagal spremembo predloga, ki bi to odražala.

en	The Commission supports this position.
sl	Komisija to stališče podpira.

en	It was the Commission's intention to retain the spirit and details of that legislation and to provide stability for Member States and for operators while at the same enabling more flexibility for the adoption of new technologies, adaptation to new challenges and the provision of derogations in low risk situations.
sl	Namen Komisije je bil, da bi ohranila duh in podrobnosti navedene zakonodaje in državam članicam ter izvajalcem dejavnosti zagotovila stabilnost, hkrati pa omogočila več fleksibilnosti pri prevzemanju novih tehnologij in prilagajanju novim izzivom ter omogočila odstopanja v razmerah z nizkim tveganjem.

en	Amendments obliging actors to consider or raise awareness on the risks of antimicrobial resistance are acceptable (Amendments 73, 101), while amendments interfering with the legislation on veterinary medicines cannot be supported as they go beyond the scope of this proposal.
sl	Spremembe, ki akterje zavezujejo, naj upoštevajo tveganja protimikrobne odpornosti ali o njej ozaveščajo, so sprejemljive (spremembi 73 in 101), sprememb, ki posegajo v zakonodajo o zdravilih za uporabo v veterinarski medicini, pa ni mogoče podpreti, saj presegajo področje uporabe tega predloga.

en	Date of the position of the European Parliament, first reading: 15 April 2014.
sl	Datum stališča Evropskega parlamenta, prva obravnava: 15. april 2014.

en	In particular, the European Parliament expressed its support for the principle that prevention is better than cure and welcomed the attempt to bring together the current dispersed animal health legislation into one single set of principles.
sl	Zlasti je izrazil podporo načelu, da je bolje preprečiti kot zdraviti, in pozdravil poskus združitve trenutno razpršene zakonodaje o zdravju živali v enoten sklop načel.

en	Sufficient flexibility is provided to adjust the animal health measures to different establishments and local circumstances, in particular with respect to requirements for the registration and approval of establishments and for the keeping of animals and products.
sl	Zagotovljena je zadostna prožnost za prilagajanje ukrepov za zdravje živali različnim obratom in lokalnim razmeram, zlasti glede zahtev za registracijo in odobritev obratov ter gojenje živali in hrambo proizvodov.

en	Animal health laboratories: the European Parliament envisaged (amendments 150-155) requirements for official animal health laboratories, including provisions on the laboratory network and requirements on the official laboratories as well as national and Union reference laboratories.
sl	Veterinarski laboratoriji: Evropski parlament je predvidel (spremembe 150-155) zahteve za uradne veterinarske laboratorije, vključno z določbami o omrežju laboratorijev in zahtevami za uradne laboratorije, pa tudi referenčne laboratorije na nacionalni ravni in na ravni Unije.

en	Comments on the position of the Council
sl	Pripombe k stališču Sveta

en	Transitional measures (recognition of acquired rights): the Council introduced new Articles providing the operators and Member States with the possibility to recognise rights as regards the approval or registration of existing operators and establishments, the approved disease free statuses, and the special provisions for salmonella.
sl	Prehodni ukrepi (priznavanje pridobljenih pravic): Svet je uvedel nove člene, ki izvajalcem dejavnosti in državam članicam zagotavljajo možnost priznavanja pravic v zvezi z odobritvijo ali registracijo obstoječih izvajalcev dejavnosti in obratov, odobren status brez bolezni in posebne določbe za salmonelo.

en	The proposal on animal health supports these crucial overarching objectives by reducing the risk of the negative economic, social and environmental impacts of poor animal health or animal disease outbreaks; and consequently by supporting the economic security and success of animal keepers, particularly farmers, and thus contributing to smart, inclusive and sustainable growth.
sl	Predlog o zdravju živali te ključne krovne cilje podpira z zmanjševanjem tveganja za negativne gospodarske, družbene in okoljske učinke slabega zdravja živali ali izbruhov živalskih bolezni ter posledično s spodbujanjem gospodarske varnosti in uspešnosti imetnikov živali, zlasti kmetov, s čimer prispeva k pametni, vključujoči in trajnostni rasti.

en	The Council supported the Commission's proposal since requiring all Member States to set up such a system, without a proper impact assessment, may be disproportionate to the animal health risk and could entail financial and administrative burden for an unidentified benefit.
sl	Svet je podprl predlog Komisije, saj bi bila lahko zahteva, naj vse države članice uvedejo tak sistem, brez ustrezne ocene učinka nesorazmerna s tveganjem za zdravje živali in bi lahko pomenila finančno in upravno breme za neopredeljeno korist.

en	Due to the absence of the Council's position at the time and in order not to prejudge the Commission's role in facilitating agreement between the co-legislators at a later stage, the Commission's position on the Parliament amendments remained rather conservative and tended towards defending the Commission's proposal.
sl	Ker takrat stališča Sveta ni bilo na voljo in da vloga Komisije pri poznejšem omogočanju sporazuma med sozakonodajalcema ne bi bila prejudicirana, je stališče Komisije o spremembah, ki jih je predlagal Parlament, ostalo bolj konzervativno in se nagibalo k zagovarjanju predloga Komisije.

en	Registration obligation of certain operators conducting assembly operations: the Council in its position added provisions concerning the registration obligation of certain operators without establishments conducting transactions with animals that may have an impact on traceability of those animals.
sl	Obveznost registracije določenih izvajalcev dejavnosti, ki izvajajo dejavnosti zbiranja: Svet je v svojem stališču dodal določbe v zvezi z obveznostjo registracije določenih izvajalcev dejavnosti brez obratov, ki izvajajo transakcije z živalmi, ki bi lahko vplivale na sledljivost navedenih živali.

en	The Council's position was that the non-commercial movement of pets logically fitted into the animal health framework, but that the Pet Regulation should not be re-opened so soon after its adoption.
sl	Stališče Sveta je bilo, da premiki hišnih živali v nekomercialne namene logično spadajo v okvir o zdravju živali, vendar da se razprava o uredbi o hišnih živalih ne bi smela ponovno odpreti tako kmalu po sprejetju uredbe.

en	The European Parliament proposed to list the diseases in an Annex to the Regulation, but to provide the Commission with delegated powers to amend or supplement that list (amendment 331).
sl	Evropski parlament je predlagal, da se seznam bolezni vključi v prilogo k Uredbi, Komisijo pa pooblasti za spreminjanje ali dopolnjevanje navedenega seznama (sprememba 331).

en	Animal Welfare: the European Parliament originally requested a number of amendments on animal welfare.
sl	Dobrobit živali: Evropski parlament je prvotno zahteval številne spremembe v zvezi z dobrobitjo živali.

en	The objective of the Commission proposal is to introduce a single piece of legislation to regulate animal health in the Union, based on the principle that "prevention is better than cure".
sl	Cilj predloga Komisije je uvesti enoten zakonodajni akt, ki bo urejal zdravje živali v Uniji, in sicer po načelu, da je bolje preprečiti kot zdraviti.

en	Date of adoption of the position of the Council: 14 December 2015.
sl	Datum sprejetja stališča Sveta: 14. december 2015.

en	The Council has, in its position, supported the Commission's proposal.
sl	Svet je v svojem stališču podprl predlog Komisije.

en	Animal welfare: the European Parliament required in its amendments 5, 99 and 202 that animal welfare is taken into account when considering or implementing animal health measures.
sl	Dobrobit živali: Evropski parlament je v svojih spremembah 5, 99 in 202 zahteval, da se pri obravnavi in izvajanju ukrepov za zdravje živali upošteva dobrobit živali.

en	While the Commission had originally rejected the above-mentioned amendments of the European Parliament, it could accept the Council's and the Parliament's final position as a compromise, which preserves the necessary efficiency, flexibility and legal certainty for the listing and categorisation of diseases and listing of species.
sl	Čeprav je Komisija zgoraj navedene spremembe Evropskega parlamenta prvotno zavrnila, bi kompromisno lahko sprejela končno stališče Sveta in Parlamenta, s čimer bi se ohranile potrebna učinkovitost, prožnost in pravna varnost za uvrščanje bolezni na seznam in njihovo razvrščanje ter uvrščanje vrst na seznam.

en	The Council is firm on the separation between animal health and animal welfare and opposes these amendments broadly sharing the Commission views.
sl	Svet trdno zagovarja ločevanje med zdravjem živali in dobrobitjo živali ter nasprotuje tem spremembam in se tako večinoma strinja z mnenjem Komisije.

en	The Council broadly shared the Commission's view and has, as a compromise, proposed a new Article linking the laboratory requirements in the animal health and official controls proposals.
sl	Svet se je na splošno strinjal z mnenjem Komisije in je kot kompromis predlagal nov člen, ki bi povezal zahteve za laboratorije v predlogih o zdravju živali in o uradnem nadzoru.

en	The intention of the Commission's proposal was to integrate all relevant animal health rules for all animal species and categories under one set of rules.
sl	Namen predloga Komisije je bil združiti vsa relevantna pravila o zdravju živali za vse živalske vrste in kategorije v enoten sklop pravil.

en	Member State's strategic measures for non-listed diseases: the European Parliament required (amendments 29 and 107) that strategic measures are taken by Member States for diseases, including those that are assessed as not relevant for the Union and therefore not listed for Union intervention.
sl	Strateški ukrepi držav članic za bolezni, ki niso na seznamu: Evropski parlament je zahteval (spremembi 29 in 107), da države članice sprejemajo strateške ukrepe za bolezni, vključno s tistimi, ki so ocenjene kot nerelevantne za Unijo in jih zato ni na seznamu za ukrepanje na ravni Unije.

en	5.3 Statement by the Commission on the regular reporting on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products in animals in the Union
sl	5.3 Izjava Komisije o rednem poročanju v zvezi z uporabo protimikrobnih zdravil pri živalih v Uniji

en	In its Communication to the European Parliament, the Commission indicated that it could accept in full, in part, in principle or subject to rewording 106 of the 331 amendments, as they would clarify or improve the Commission's proposal and were consistent with its general aims.
sl	V svojem sporočilu Evropskemu parlamentu je Komisija navedla, da bi lahko v celoti, delno, načeloma ali po preoblikovanju besedila sprejela 106 od 331 sprememb, saj bi te spremembe, ki so skladne s splošnimi cilji predloga Komisije, predlog Komisije pojasnile ali izboljšale.

en	Other professionals and professional bodies carrying out certain tasks on behalf of the competent authority: the European Parliament requested that certain professionals, such as bee health professionals, would be recognised on the same basis as veterinarians (amendments 103 and 110) and that certain other qualified individuals or professional bodies would be allowed to carry out certain tasks (amendments 19 and 109).
sl	Drugi strokovnjaki in strokovna združenja, ki v imenu pristojnih organov izvajajo določene naloge: Evropski parlament je zahteval, da se določeni strokovnjaki, kot so strokovnjaki za zdravje čebel, priznavajo enako kot veterinarji (spremembi 103 in 110) in da se določenim drugim usposobljenim posameznikom ali strokovnim združenjem dovoli izvajanje določenih nalog (spremembi 19 in 109).

en	5.2 Joint statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on antimicrobial resistance and the use of veterinary medicinal products
sl	5.2 Skupna izjava Evropskega parlamenta, Sveta in Komisije o protimikrobni odpornosti in uporabi zdravil za uporabo v veterinarski medicini

en	National measures: the European Parliament proposed amendments 37, 268 and 323, which allow a Member State to restrict the movements of animals or products if the Member State itself judges that it is scientifically justified and necessary to prevent the introduction or spread of any disease.
sl	Nacionalni ukrepi: Evropski parlament je predlagal spremembe 37, 268 in 323, ki državam članicam dovoljujejo omejevanje premikov živali ali proizvodov, če država članica sama presodi, da je to znanstveno utemeljeno in potrebno zaradi preprečevanja vnosa ali širjenja bolezni.

en	This would ensure that animals such as dogs and cats could be dealt with in a coherent manner from an animal health perspective, whether they are kept or stray animals, and whether they are traded commercially or moved for non-commercial purposes as pets.
sl	To bi zagotovilo skladno obravnavo živali, kot so psi in mački, s stališča zdravja živali ne glede na to, ali so gojene ali potepuške živali, in na to, ali so predmet komercialnega trgovanja ali premikov v nekomercialne namene kot hišne živali.

en	Eventually, the European Parliament was willing to give up other amendments on antimicrobial resistance and veterinary medicines, but requested in return a joint statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on antimicrobial resistance, and a Commission statement on the regular reporting on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products in animals in the Union.
sl	Nazadnje je bil Evropski parlament pripravljen opustiti druge spremembe v zvezi s protimikrobno odpornostjo in zdravili za uporabo v veterinarski medicini, vendar je v zameno zahteval skupno izjavo Evropskega parlamenta, Sveta in Komisije o protimikrobni odpornosti ter izjavo Komisije o rednem poročanju o uporabi protimikrobnih zdravil pri živalih v Uniji.

en	The Commission can agree to amendment 94 as reworded in the Council's position, support the joint statement on the antimicrobial resistance and, as a compromise, make a statement on the regular reporting on the use of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal products.
sl	Komisija se lahko strinja s spremembo 94 v ubeseditvi iz stališča Sveta, podpre skupno izjavo o protimikrobni odpornosti in kot kompromis pripravi izjavo o rednem poročanju o uporabi protimikrobnih zdravil za uporabo v veterinarski medicini.

en	The amendments of the European Parliament that were reinforcing this intention were considered acceptable by the Commission and were supported by the Council.
sl	Spremembe Evropskega parlamenta, ki so okrepile ta namen, šteje Komisija za sprejemljive, podpira pa jih tudi Svet.

en	The Commission proposed to repeal the current identification and registration legislation so that all animal health issues come under one set of general principles.
sl	Komisija je predlagala razveljavitev trenutne zakonodaje o identifikaciji in registraciji, da bi za vsa vprašanja v zvezi z zdravjem živali veljal enoten sklop splošnih načel.

en	The European Parliament could eventually drop or adjust several of its amendments but asked the Commission for a commitment to take future action for the protection of animals through a statement on animal welfare.
sl	Evropski parlament bi sčasoma lahko opustil ali prilagodil več svojih sprememb, a je od Komisije v obliki izjave o dobrobiti živali zahteval zavezo, da bo v prihodnosti sprejela ukrepe za zaščito živali.

en	This Regulation lays down rules for the prevention and control of animal diseases which are transmissible to animals or to humans and does not contain provisions which regulate specifically animal welfare, albeit animal health and welfare are linked.
sl	Ta uredba določa pravila za preprečevanje in obvladovanje živalskih bolezni, ki se prenašajo na živali ali na človeka, ne vsebuje pa določb, ki posebej urejajo dobrobit živali, čeprav sta zdravje in dobrobit živali povezana.

en	In a spirit of a compromise, this solution is acceptable for the Commission.
sl	Ta rešitev je za Komisijo v duhu kompromisa sprejemljiva.

en	It also recognised the scope of the proposed act, which is about transmissible animal diseases, and welcomed the "one health" approach establishing a clear link between animal welfare and animal and public health.
sl	Priznal je tudi obseg predlaganega akta, ki se nanaša na prenosljive živalske bolezni, in pozdravil pristop „enega zdravja", ki vzpostavlja jasno povezavo med dobrobitjo živali na eni ter zdravjem živali in javnim zdravjem na drugi strani.

en	The Commission agrees with the Council's position and therefore accepts the retention of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, which concerns labelling of beef and beef products and is outside the scope of the animal health proposal.
sl	Komisija se strinja s stališčem Sveta in zato sprejema ohranitev Naslova II Uredbe (ES) št. 1760/2000, ki zadeva označevanje govejega mesa in proizvodov iz govejega mesa ter je zunaj področja uporabe predloga o zdravju živali.

en	Some were accepted by the Council (see point 3.2) while others (for example amendments 173, 180, 194 and 257) went further providing animal welfare rules, thus interfering with the existing animal welfare legislation and potentially undermining disease control measures in emergency situations.
sl	Nekatere je Svet sprejel (glej točko 3.2), druge (npr. spremembe 173, 180, 194 in 257) pa so bolj podrobno določale pravila o dobrobiti živali ter s tem posegale v obstoječo zakonodajo na področju dobrobiti živali in potencialno spodkopavale ukrepe za nadzor bolezni v izrednih razmerah.

en	The Parliament took the view that the Pet Regulation should continue to be in place.
sl	Parlament je zavzel stališče, da bi morala uredba o hišnih živalih ostati v veljavi.

en	Therefore, it proposed a 10 year period of application for the Pet Regulation together with a set of rules in the animal health proposal matching those laid down in the Pet Regulation and replacing them after the 10 year application period.
sl	Zato je za uredbo o hišnih živalih predlagal desetletno obdobje uporabe, skupaj s sklopom pravil v predlogu o zdravju živali v skladu s pravili iz uredbe o hišnih živalih, in njihovo zamenjavo po desetletnem obdobju uporabe.

en	The Commission can therefore support the proposed Council's solutions.
sl	Komisija zato lahko podpre rešitev, ki jo predlaga Svet.

en	Moreover, the European Parliament pointed out that recently amended Article 22 of the Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 provided for fixed control intensity for identification and registration of bovine animals.
sl	Poleg tega je Evropski parlament poudaril, da se je z nedavno spremembo člena 22 Uredbe (ES) št. 1760/2000 fiksno določila intenziteta nadzora identifikacije in registracije govedi.

en	In this context, stray or feral animals, including those of species normally domesticated, are considered as ‘wild animals'.
sl	V tem smislu veljajo potepuške ali podivjane živali, vključno s tistimi iz vrst, ki so običajno udomačene, za „divje živali".

en	The Council, in its position, agreed and proposed a slight rewording.
sl	Svet se je v svojem stališču strinjal in predlagal manjše preoblikovanje besedila.

en	The Council has tried to meet the Parliament's concern without undermining the original intention of the Commission proposal by clarifying the definition of aquaculture animals and making clearer which disease prevention and control rules apply to aquaculture and which to ‘wild aquatic' animals.
sl	Svet je poskušal upoštevati pomisleke Parlamenta, ne da bi s tem spodkopal izvorni namen predloga Komisije, in je jasneje opredelil živali iz akvakulture in jasneje določil, katera pravila za preprečevanje in nadzor bolezni veljajo za akvakulturo in katera za „prostoživeče vodne" živali.

en	The Commission clarified that even though the proposal had indicated that the entire Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 would be repealed, the Commission's intention was not to repeal parts that concern labelling of beef and beef products.
sl	Komisija je pojasnila, da je bilo v predlogu sicer navedeno, da se razveljavi celotna Uredba (ES) št. 1760/2000, vendar namen Komisije ni bila razveljavitev delov, ki zadevajo označevanje govejega mesa in proizvodov iz govejega mesa.

en	COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION
sl	SPOROČILO KOMISIJE

en	The Parliament also agreed to the proposed list of five diseases in Article 5 and to the possible listing of other diseases in an Annex amendable by delegated act, while implementing powers were preserved for the categorisation of animal diseases (following Article 8).
sl	Strinjal se je tudi s predlaganim seznamom petih bolezni v členu 5 in morebitno uvrstitvijo drugih bolezni v prilogo, ki bi se spreminjala z delegiranim aktom, medtem ko se izvedbena pooblastila omejijo na razvrščanje živalskih bolezni (v skladu s členom 8).

en	Consultation with stakeholders and scientists: the European Parliament, in its amendments 41, 66, 75, 77, 82, 157, 260 and 322, required several types of specific consultation when drawing up delegated acts.
sl	Posvetovanje z zainteresiranimi stranmi in znanstveniki: Evropski parlament je v svojih spremembah 41, 66, 75, 77, 82, 157, 260 in 322 zahteval več vrst posebnih posvetovanj med pripravo delegiranih aktov.

en	Categorisation of animal diseases and emerging diseases: the European Parliament proposed in its amendments 83-87 new wording clarifying the groups of categories of animal diseases provided for in Article 8 of the Commission's proposal.
sl	Razvrščanje živalskih in porajajočih se bolezni: Evropski parlament je v svojih spremembah 83-87 predlagal novo ubeseditev, ki pojasnjuje skupine kategorij živalskih bolezni iz člena 8 predloga Komisije.

en	The Commission shares the Council's position.
sl	Komisija se strinja s stališčem Sveta.

en	Retaining legislation on identification and registration of pigs and ovine and caprine animals: the European Parliament, in its amendments 238, 326 and 327, asked to retain Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 on ovine and caprine identification and registration, and Directive 2008/71/EC on pig identification and registration.
sl	Ohranitev zakonodaje o identifikaciji in registraciji prašičev, ovc in koz: Evropski parlament je v svojih spremembah 238, 326 in 327 zahteval ohranitev Uredbe (ES) št. 21/2004 o identifikaciji in registraciji ovc in koz ter Direktive 2008/71/ES o identifikaciji in registraciji prašičev.

en	The Council accepted the logic of the Commission's proposal and added some clarifications including a full Part on non-commercial movements of pet animals, which distinguishes the movements of animals kept for companion purposes from stray and other animals.
sl	Svet je sprejel logiko predloga Komisije in dodal nekaj pojasnil, ki vključujejo tudi cel del o netrgovskih premikih hišnih živali, ki razlikuje med premiki hišnih ljubljenčkov ter potepuškimi in drugimi živalmi.

en	The Council could therefore not accept these amendments.
sl	Zato Svet navedenih sprememb ni mogel sprejeti.

en	Veterinary medicinal products: the Parliament's amendments 94, 159, 160, 162 and 163-165 regulate the use of the veterinary medicinal products in the Union in a way that interferes with the existing legislation on veterinary medicines and entails significant overlaps with Commission proposal on veterinary medicines.
sl	Zdravila za uporabo v veterinarski medicini: Spremembe Parlamenta 94, 159, 160, 162 in 163-165 urejajo uporabo zdravil za uporabo v veterinarski medicini v Uniji tako, da posegajo v obstoječo zakonodajo o zdravilih za uporabo v veterinarski medicini, in zato pomenijo znatna prekrivanja s predlogom Komisije o zdravilih za uporabo v veterinarski medicini.

en	The Council addressed the same questions by opening the possibility for Member States to authorise other professionals for certain tasks while taking into account the subsidiarity principle enabling Member States to take their own decisions concerning authorisation based on the existing national structures.
sl	Ista vprašanja je obravnaval tudi Svet in ob upoštevanju načela subsidiarnosti, ki državam članicam omogoča, da sprejemajo lastne odločitve v zvezi z odobritvami, ki temeljijo na obstoječih nacionalnih strukturah, državam članicam omogočil, da za določene naloge pooblastijo druge strokovnjake.

en	The Commission's proposal made a clear distinction between ‘kept animals' and ‘wild animals' and animal disease prevention and control rules that could be applied to animals kept under human control and those applied to animals that are not under human control.
sl	Predlog Komisije je jasno razlikoval med „gojenimi živalmi" in „divjimi živalmi" ter med pravili za preprečevanje in nadzor živalskih bolezni, ki bi se lahko uporabljala za živali pod človekovim nadzorom, in pravili, ki se uporabljajo za živali, ki niso pod človekovim nadzorom.

en	Listing of animal diseases: the European Parliament proposed, in a series of amendments (in particular amendments 13, 14, 65-67, 70-72, 76, 77, 80-82, 88-90) to eliminate the Commission's implementing powers under Articles 5, 7 and 8 enabling to establish the list of animal diseases and species to which the rules in the Regulation apply, and the categorisation of diseases into different groups according to which measures are appropriate for them.
sl	Uvrščanje živalskih bolezni na seznam: Evropski parlament je v vrsti sprememb (zlasti spremembah 13, 14, 65-67, 70-72, 76, 77, 80-82, 88-90) predlagal odpravo izvedbenih pooblastil Komisije iz členov 5, 7 in 8 za pripravo seznama živalskih bolezni in vrst, za katere se uporabljajo pravila iz Uredbe, ter za razvrščanje bolezni v različne skupine glede na ukrepe, ki so zanje primerni.

en	The Commission proposal made a distinction between ‘kept animals' and ‘wild animals' where aquaculture animals were considered as kept aquatic animals.
sl	Predlog Komisije je razlikoval med „gojenimi živalmi" in „divjimi živalmi", živali iz akvakulture pa so veljale za gojene vodne živali.

en	Repeal of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 on bovine identification and beef labelling: the European Parliament proposed in its amendments 38, 324 and 328 the retention of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 on bovine identification and beef labelling, which the animal health proposal aimed to repeal.
sl	Razveljavitev Uredbe (ES) št. 1760/2000 o identifikaciji govedi in označevanju govejega mesa: Evropski parlament je v svojih spremembah 38, 324 in 328 predlagal ohranitev Uredbe (ES) št. 1760/2000 o identifikaciji govedi in označevanju govejega mesa, ki bi jo predlog o zdravju živali razveljavil.

en	The European Parliament has supported those changes.
sl	Evropski parlament je navedene spremembe podprl.

en	Non-commercial movements of pet animals: several amendments of the European Parliament (amendments 36, 39, 40, 54, 239-244, 246-247, 263-267 and 325) entail the retention of the Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 on the non-commercial movement of pet animals (the "Pet Regulation"), which was to be repealed by the animal health proposal.
sl	Netrgovski premiki hišnih živali: Številne spremembe Evropskega parlamenta (spremembe 36, 39, 40, 54, 239-244, 246-247, 263-267 in 325) pomenijo ohranitev Uredbe (EU) št. 576/2013 o netrgovskih premikih hišnih živali („uredba o hišnih živalih"), ki naj bi bila razveljavljena s predlogom o zdravju živali.

en	Also, all amendments that were overlapping or inconsistent with the existing requirements - or putting at risk animal and public health - were not incorporated in the Council's position.
sl	Poleg tega ni bila v stališče Sveta vključena nobena sprememba, ki se prekriva ali je v neskladju z obstoječimi zahtevami ali ki ogroža zdravje živali in javno zdravje.

en	Aquatic animals, changes in definitions related to aquaculture: the European Parliament suggested amendments 50, 291-296, 300-304, 306 and 307 introducing a new category of "kept aquatic animals" thus separating ‘aquaculture' and other ‘kept aquatic' animals.
sl	Vodne živali, spremembe opredelitev pojmov v zvezi z akvakulturo: Evropski parlament je v spremembah 50, 291-296, 300-304, 306 in 307 predlagal uvedbo nove kategorije „gojenih vodnih živali" in s tem razlikovanje med „akvakulturo" in drugimi „gojenimi vodnimi" živalmi.

en	‘Non-kept', stray and feral animals: several amendments of the European Parliament (amendments 49, 51, 53, 74, 198-201, 203, 211-215, 218) aimed to define stray, feral or ‘non-kept' animals as different categories from ‘wild' animals.
sl	„Negojene", potepuške in podivjane živali: Cilj številnih sprememb Evropskega parlamenta (spremembe 49, 51, 53, 74, 198-201, 203, 211-215, 218) je bil opredeliti potepuške, podivjane ali „negojene" živali kot kategorije različne od „divjih" živali.

en	3.5 Amendments of the European Parliament rejected by the Commission and not incorporated in the position of the Council at first reading
sl	3.5 Spremembe Evropskega parlamenta, ki jih je Komisija zavrnila in niso bile vključene v stališče Sveta v prvi obravnavi

en	As part of the overall compromise, the Commission can accept the amendment proposed by the European Parliament, subject to rewording provided for in the Council's position.
sl	Komisija lahko spremembo Evropskega parlamenta, ob preoblikovanju besedila iz stališča Sveta, sprejme kot del splošnega kompromisa.

en	The Council incorporated those amendments into its position subject to some rewording.
sl	Svet je te spremembe z manjšim preoblikovanjem besedila vključil v svoje stališče.

en	The European Parliament supported those changes.
sl	Evropski parlament je navedene spremembe sprejel.

en	The Council proposed that a short list of five significant diseases is written into the enacting part of the Regulation, but that the listing of the remaining of diseases, as well as the categorisation of all the listed diseases, and listing of species, should be done through implementing acts.
sl	Svet je predlagal, da se kratek seznam petih pomembnih bolezni zapiše v normativni del Uredbe, da pa bi se morali uvrščanje preostalih bolezni na seznam, kakor tudi razvrščanje vseh bolezni na seznamu ter uvrščanje vrst na seznam izvesti z izvedbenimi akti. Svet je tudi dodal več meril za uvrščanje živalskih bolezni na seznam in njihovo razvrščanje (v povezavi s členom 5 oziroma 8), ki so po njihovem mnenju normativnemu delu predloga Komisije dodali bistvene manjkajoče elemente.
