      SKLEP SVETA

   z dne 18. aprila 2008
   o spremembi Sklepa Izvršnega odbora, ustanovljenega s Schengensko konvencijo iz leta 1990 o spremembi Finančne uredbe o stroških postavitve in delovanja za tehnični podporni del schengenskega informacijskega sistema (C.SIS)
   (2008/328/ES)
   SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE JE –
   ob upoštevanju določb člena 119 Konvencije o izvajanju Schengenskega sporazuma z dne 14. junija 1985 med vladami držav Gospodarske unije Beneluks, Zvezne republike Nemčije in Francoske republike o postopni odpravi kontrol na skupnih mejah (Schengenska konvencija iz leta 1990) (1),
   ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

               (1)

               V določbah člena 119 Schengenske konvencije iz leta 1990 je določeno, da stroški postavitve in delovanja C.SIS, navedeni v določbah člena 92(3), bremenijo vse pogodbenice.

               (2)

               Finančne obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz postavitve in delovanja C.SIS, so urejene v posebni Finančni uredbi, kakor je bila spremenjena s Sklepom schengenskega Izvršnega odbora z dne 15. decembra 1997 o spremembi finančne uredbe o C.SIS (2) (v nadaljnjem besedilu „Finančna uredba o C.SIS“).

               (3)

               Finančna uredba o C.SIS se na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2000/777/ES (3) uporablja za Dansko, Finsko in Švedsko ter za Islandijo in Norveško, na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2007/471/ES (4) pa tudi za Češko republiko, Republiko Estonijo, Republiko Latvijo, Republiko Litvo, Republiko Madžarsko, Republiko Malto, Republiko Poljsko, Republiko Slovenijo in Slovaško republiko.

               (4)

               Švicarska konfederacija bo sodelovala pri določbah schengenskega pravnega reda, povezanih s schengenskim informacijskim sistemom, od datuma, ki ga bo določil Svet v skladu s členom 15(1) Sporazuma med Evropsko unijo, Evropsko skupnostjo in Švicarsko konfederacijo o pridružitvi Švicarske konfederacije k izvajanju, uporabi in razvoju schengenskega pravnega reda (5) (v nadaljevanju „Sporazum“).

               (5)

               Od tega datuma naprej bi morala Švicarska konfederacija sodelovati pri Finančni uredbi o C.SIS.

               (6)

               Primerno je, da Švicarska konfederacija prispeva k stroškom C.SIS, nastalim v preteklosti. Ker pa je Sporazum bil podpisan 26. oktobra 2004, se zdi primerno, da k stroškom, nastalim v preteklosti v zvezi s postavitvijo C.SIS, prispeva od 1. januarja 2005. Prav tako se zdi primerno, da k stroškom delovanja prispeva od 1. januarja 2008.

               (7)

               Kar zadeva Islandijo in Norveško, ta sklep predstavlja razvoj določb schengenskega pravnega reda v smislu Sporazuma, sklenjenega med Svetom Evropske unije in Republiko Islandijo ter Kraljevino Norveško, v zvezi s pridružitvijo teh dveh držav k izvajanju, uporabi in razvoju schengenskega pravnega reda (6), ki sodijo na področje iz člena 1(G) Sklepa 1999/437/ES (7) o nekaterih izvedbenih predpisih za uporabo tega sporazuma.

               (8)

               Kar zadeva Švico, ta sklep predstavlja razvoj določb schengenskega pravnega reda v smislu Sporazuma, ki sodijo na področje iz člena 1(G) Sklepa Sveta 1999/437/ES v povezavi s členom 3 sklepov 2008/146/ES (8) in 2008/149/PNZ (9).

               (9)

               Kar zadeva Lihtenštajn, ta sklep predstavlja razvoj določb schengenskega pravnega reda v smislu Protokola, podpisanega med Evropsko unijo, Evropsko skupnostjo, Švicarsko konfederacijo in Kneževino Lihtenštajn o pristopu Kneževine Lihtenštajn k Sporazumu, ki sodijo na področje iz člena 1(G) Sklepa Sveta 1999/437/ES v povezavi s členom 3 sklepov Sveta 2008/261/ES (10) in 2008/262/PNZ (11).

               (10)

               Združeno kraljestvo se pridružuje temu sklepu v skladu s členom 5 Protokola o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije, ki je priložen Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, ter s členom 8(2) Sklepa Sveta 2000/365/ES z dne 29. maja 2000 o prošnji Združenega kraljestva Velike Britanije in Severne Irske za sodelovanje pri izvajanju nekaterih določb schengenskega pravnega reda (12).

               (11)

               Irska se pridružuje temu sklepu v skladu s členom 5 Protokola o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije, ki je priložen Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, ter s členom 6(2) Sklepa Sveta 2002/192/ES z dne 28. februarja 2002 o prošnji Irske za sodelovanje pri izvajanju nekaterih določb schengenskega pravnega reda (13).

               (12)

               Kar zadeva Republiko Ciper, ta sklep predstavlja predpis, temelječ na schengenskem pravnem redu ali kako drugače z njim povezan v smislu člena 3(2) Akta o pristopu iz leta 2003.

               (13)

               Ta sklep predstavlja predpis, temelječ na schengenskem pravnem redu ali kako drugače z njim povezan v smislu člena 4(2) Akta o pristopu iz leta 2005 –

         SKLENIL:
   Člen 1
   V točki 3 naslova I Finančne uredbe o C.SIS se doda naslednja alinea:

               „—

               kar zadeva Švicarsko konfederacijo, se ta prispevek izračuna le na podlagi stroškov, nastalih za postavitev C. SIS po 1. januarju 2005. Švicarska konfederacija prispeva tudi sredstva za stroške delovanja C.SIS od 1. januarja 2008.“

      SKLEP SVETA

   z dne 24. julija 2006
   o sklenitvi Protokola proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu, v kolikor določbe Protokola sodijo na področje uporabe naslova IV tretjega dela Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, v imenu Evropske skupnosti
   (2006/617/ES)
   SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE JE —
   ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti točke 2 člena 62, točke 3 člena 63 in člena 66 v povezavi s prvim pododstavkom člena 300(2) in prvim pododstavkom člena 300(3) Pogodbe,
   ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije,
   ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega parlamenta (1),
   ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

               (1)

               O elementih Protokola, ki so v pristojnosti Skupnosti, se je z odobritvijo Sveta v imenu Skupnosti pogajala Komisija.

               (2)

               Svet je zadolžil Komisijo, da se pogaja o pristopu Skupnosti k zadevnemu mednarodnemu sporazumu.

               (3)

               Pogajanja so bila uspešno končana in iz tega izhajajoči instrument je Skupnost v skladu s Sklepom Sveta 2001/87/ES z dne 8. decembra 2000 (2) podpisala 12. decembra 2000.

               (4)

               Nekatere države članice so že pogodbenice Protokola, v drugih državah članicah pa proces ratifikacije še poteka.

               (5)

               Ta sklep ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti. Ta sklep zato Združenega kraljestva in Irske ne zavezuje, v kolikor se nanaša na izvajanje zunanje pristojnosti Skupnosti na področjih, na katerih njena notranja zakonodaja za Združeno kraljestvo in/ali Irsko ni zavezujoča.

               (6)

               Ta sklep prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, priloženim k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti. Danska zato ne sodeluje pri sprejemanju tega sklepa in ta zanjo ni zavezujoč.

               (7)

               Sklenitev Konvencije, ki je v skladu s členom 37(2) Konvencije pogoj za pristop Skupnosti k Protokolu, je bila v imenu Skupnosti odobrena s Sklepom Sveta 2004/579/ES z dne 29. aprila 2004 (3).

               (8)

               Izpolnjeni so tudi drugi pogoji, ki Skupnosti omogočajo, da deponira listino o odobritvi iz člena 36(3) Konvencije in člena 21(3) Protokola.

               (9)

               V kolikor sodijo določbe Protokola na področje uporabe naslova IV tretjega dela Pogodbe, bi bilo treba sklenitev Protokola v imenu Skupnosti odobriti.

               (10)

               V kolikor sodijo določbe Protokola na področje uporabe členov 179 in 181a Pogodbe, bi bilo treba sklenitev Protokola v imenu Skupnosti odobriti z ločenim sklepom Sveta (4).

               (11)

               Skupnost bi morala pri deponiranju listine o odobritvi v skladu s členom 21(3) Protokola deponirati tudi izjavo o obsegu pristojnosti Skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol —

         SKLENIL:
   Člen 1
   Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu, in katerega besedilo je navedeno v Prilogi I, se odobri v imenu Evropske skupnosti.
   Listina Skupnosti o uradni potrditvi vsebuje izjavo o pristojnosti v skladu s členom 21(3) Protokola, katere besedilo je navedeno v Prilogi II.
   Člen 2
   Ta sklep se uporablja, v kolikor sodijo določbe Protokola na področje uporabe naslova IV tretjega dela Pogodbe.
   Člen 3
   Predsednik Sveta je pooblaščen, da imenuje osebo, pooblaščeno za deponiranje listine o uradni potrditvi, ki je za Skupnost zavezujoča.
   Ta sklep se objavi v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.

      PRILOGA I

         PROTOCOL
         against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime
         PREAMBLE
         THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS PROTOCOL,
         DECLARING that effective action to prevent and combat the smuggling of migrants by land, sea and air requires a comprehensive international approach, including cooperation, the exchange of information and other appropriate measures, including socio-economic measures, at the national, regional and international levels,
         RECALLING General Assembly resolution 54/212 of 22 December 1999, in which the Assembly urged Member States and the United Nations system to strengthen international cooperation in the area of international migration and development in order to address the root causes of migration, especially those related to poverty, and to maximize the benefits of international migration to those concerned, and encouraged, where relevant, interregional, regional and subregional mechanisms to continue to address the question of migration and development,
         CONVINCED of the need to provide migrants with humane treatment and full protection of their rights,
         TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the fact that, despite work undertaken in other international forums, there is no universal instrument that addresses all aspects of smuggling of migrants and other related issues,
         CONCERNED at the significant increase in the activities of organised criminal groups in smuggling of migrants and other related criminal activities set forth in this Protocol, which bring great harm to the States concerned,
         ALSO CONCERNED that the smuggling of migrants can endanger the lives or security of the migrants involved,
         RECALLING General Assembly resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided to establish an open-ended intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention against transnational organised crime and of discussing the elaboration of, inter alia, an international instrument addressing illegal trafficking in and transporting of migrants, including by sea,
         CONVINCED that supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime with an international instrument against the smuggling of migrants by land, sea and air will be useful in preventing and combating that crime,
         HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
         I.   GENERAL PROVISIONS

                     (a)

                     subject to the basic concepts of its legal system, attempting to commit an offence established in accordance with paragraph 1 of this article;

               4.   Nothing in this Protocol shall prevent a State Party from taking measures against a person whose conduct constitutes an offence under its domestic law.
         II.   SMUGGLING OF MIGRANTS BY SEA
         Article 7
         Cooperation
         States Parties shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible to prevent and suppress the smuggling of migrants by sea, in accordance with the international law of the sea.
         Article 8
         Measures against the smuggling of migrants by sea
         1.   A State Party that has reasonable grounds to suspect that a vessel that is flying its flag or claiming its registry, that is without nationality or that, though flying a foreign flag or refusing to show a flag, is in reality of the nationality of the State Party concerned is engaged in the smuggling of migrants by sea may request the assistance of other States Parties in suppressing the use of the vessel for that purpose. The States Parties so requested shall render such assistance to the extent possible within their means.
         2.   A State Party that has reasonable grounds to suspect that a vessel exercising freedom of navigation in accordance with international law and flying the flag or displaying the marks of registry of another State Party is engaged in the smuggling of migrants by sea may so notify the flag State, request confirmation of registry and, if confirmed, request authorisation from the flag State to take appropriate measures with regard to that vessel. The flag State may authorise the requesting State, inter alia:

                     (a)

                     to board the vessel;

                     (b)

                     to search the vessel; and

                     (c)

                     if evidence is found that the vessel is engaged in the smuggling of migrants by sea, to take appropriate measures with respect to the vessel and persons and cargo on board, as authorised by the flag State.

               3.   A State Party that has taken any measure in accordance with paragraph 2 of this article shall promptly inform the flag State concerned of the results of that measure.
         4.   A State Party shall respond expeditiously to a request from another State Party to determine whether a vessel that is claiming its registry or flying its flag is entitled to do so and to a request for authorisation made in accordance with paragraph 2 of this article.
         5.   A flag State may, consistent with article 7 of this Protocol, subject its authorisation to conditions to be agreed by it and the requesting State, including conditions relating to responsibility and the extent of effective measures to be taken. A State Party shall take no additional measures without the express authorisation of the flag State, except those necessary to relieve imminent danger to the lives of persons or those which derive from relevant bilateral or multilateral agreements.
         6.   Each State Party shall designate an authority or, where necessary, authorities to receive and respond to requests for assistance, for confirmation of registry or of the right of a vessel to fly its flag and for authorisation to take appropriate measures. Such designation shall be notified through the Secretary-General to all other States Parties within one month of the designation.
         7.   A State Party that has reasonable grounds to suspect that a vessel is engaged in the smuggling of migrants by sea and is without nationality or may be assimilated to a vessel without nationality may board and search the vessel. If evidence confirming the suspicion is found, that State Party shall take appropriate measures in accordance with relevant domestic and international law.

      PRILOGA II

         Izjava o pristojnosti Evropske skupnosti v zvezi z zadevami, ki jih ureja Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku, ki dopolnjuje Konvencijo Združenih narodov proti mednarodnemu organiziranemu kriminalu
         Člen 21(3) Protokola določa, da listina o pristopu regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje vsebuje izjavo o podrobni določitvi zadev, ki jih ureja Protokol in v zvezi s katerimi so države članice te organizacije, ki so pogodbenice Protokola, prenesle svojo pristojnost na to organizacijo.
         Protokol proti tihotapljenju migrantov po kopnem, morju in zraku se uporablja v zvezi s pristojnostmi, prenesenimi na Evropsko skupnost, za ozemlja, na katerih se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, pod pogoji, določenimi v navedeni pogodbi, zlasti v členu 299 Pogodbe in v k tej pogodbi priloženih protokolih.
         Ta izjava ne posega v stališče Združenega kraljestva in Irske v skladu s Protokolom o vključitvi schengenskega pravnega reda v okvir Evropske unije in Protokolom o stališču Združenega kraljestva in Irske, ki sta priložena k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.
         Ta izjava prav tako ne posega v stališče Danske v skladu s Protokolom o stališču Danske, ki je priložen k Pogodbi o Evropski uniji in Pogodbi o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.
         V skladu s členom 299 se ta izjava prav tako ne uporablja za ozemlja držav članic, na katerih se navedena pogodba ne uporablja, in ne posega v akte ali stališča, ki jih lahko zadevne države članice v okviru Protokola sprejmejo v imenu in v interesu teh ozemelj. Glede na zgoraj navedeno so v tej izjavi navedene pristojnosti, ki so jih države članice v zadevah, ki jih ureja Protokol, v skladu s Pogodbami prenesle na Skupnost. Obseg in izvajanje teh pristojnosti Skupnosti sta po svoji naravi podvržena stalnim spremembam, saj Skupnost sprejema vedno nova pravila in predpise. Skupnost bo zato to izjavo v skladu s členom 21(3) Protokola po potrebi dopolnila ali spremenila.
         Skupnost poudarja, da ima pristojnost glede prehajanja zunanjih meja držav članic, določanja standardov in postopkov za izvajanje osebnih kontrol na teh mejah ter predpisov o vizumih, kjer predvideno bivanje ni daljše od treh mesecev. Skupnost je prav tako pristojna za ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na politiko priseljevanja, v zvezi s pogoji vstopa in bivanja, ter za ukrepe proti nezakonitemu priseljevanju in nezakonitemu bivanju, vključno z vračanjem oseb, ki nezakonito bivajo v državi članici, v izvorno državo. Poleg tega lahko sprejema ukrepe za zagotovitev sodelovanja med ustreznimi upravnimi službami držav članic na prej omenjenih področjih ter med temi službami in Komisijo. Skupnost je na teh področjih že sprejela pravila in predpise in je torej na področjih, na katerih je sprejela ta pravila in predpise, izključno naloga Skupnosti, da sprejema zunanje zaveze nasproti tretjim državam ali pristojnim mednarodnim organizacijam.
         Poleg tega politika Skupnosti na področju razvojnega sodelovanja dopolnjuje politike držav članic ter vključuje določbe o preprečevanju in boju proti tihotapljenju migrantov.
