II. Základné údaje o strategickom dokumente
1. Názov.
Program cezhraničnej spolupráce Interreg Slovensko - Rakúsko 2021 -2027
2. Charakter.
Návrh programu cezhraničnej spolupráce Interreg VI-A Slovensko - Rakúsko 2021-2027 predstavuje strednodobý strategický dokument určujúci základné rámce a prioritné oblasti pre podporu cezhraničných aktivít medzi Slovenskou republikou a Rakúskom v programovom období 2021-2027. Materiál bol vytvorený na základe socio- ekonomickej analýzy programového územia (ďalej aj „PÚ“). V súvislosti s financovaním aktivít z prostriedkov štátneho rozpočtu a Európskeho fondu regionálneho rozvoja, program definuje oprávnené prihraničné regióny, oprávnených žiadateľov a činnosti, ktoré je možné z predmetného programu financovať.
Návrh programu definuje oprávnené územie a jeho charakteristiku, výber hlavných oblastí intervencie, oprávnených priorít a špecifických cieľov, výsledkov a výstupov projektov, cieľové skupiny a potencionálnych žiadateľov a aktivity, ktoré je možné z predmetného programu financovať z prostriedkov Európskeho fondu regionálneho rozvoja a štátneho rozpočtu.
Oprávnené územie programu je tvorené pozdĺž slovensko-rakúskej štátnej hranice. Na slovenskej strane PÚ zahŕňa územie Bratislavského samosprávneho kraja a Trnavského samosprávneho kraja. Na rakúskej strane PÚ zahŕňa Burgenland (Nordburgenland), Dolné Rakúsko (Niederösterreich-Süd, Sankt Pölten, Waldviertel, Weinviertel, Wiener Xxxxxx/Nordteil, Wiener Xxxxxx/Südteil) a Viedeň.
3. Hlavné ciele.
Program cezhraničnej spolupráce Interreg VI-A 2021-2027 medzi Slovenskou republikou a Rakúskom je jedným z programov Európskej územnej spolupráce realizovaných v období 2021-2027. Hlavným cieľom Programu je čeliť najdôležitejším výzvam a prekonať slabé stránky typické pre pohraničie. Prostredníctvom realizácie spoločných cezhraničných projektov bude program implementovať politické ciele stanovené v príslušných nariadeniach EÚ týkajúcich sa Európskeho fondu regionálneho rozvoja. Pracovná skupina vybrala nasledovné štyri kľúčové oblasti podpory programu na roky 2021-2027:
▪ Priorita 1: Inovatívnejšie pohraničie
Táto oblasť realizuje predpoklady prvého cieľa politiky EÚ a to Konkurencieschopnejšia a inteligentnejšia Európa vďaka presadzovaniu inovatívnej a inteligentnej transformácie hospodárstva a regionálnej prepojenosti IKT. Program bude podporovať tento cieľ:
- (i) Rozvoj a rozšírenie výskumných a inovačných kapacít a využívanie pokročilých technológií.
▪ Priorita 2: Zelenšie pohraničie
Táto oblasť realizuje predpoklady druhého cieľa politiky EÚ a to Prechod z ekologickejšieho, nízkouhlíkového hospodárstva na hospodárstvo s nulovou bilanciou uhlíka a odolnú Európu vďaka presadzovaniu čistej a spravodlivej energetickej transformácie, zelených a modrých investícií, obehového hospodárstva, zmierňovania
zmeny klímy a adaptácie na ňu, predchádzania rizikám a ich riadenia a udržateľnej mestskej mobility. Program bude podporovať dva špecifické ciele:
- (iv) Podpora adaptácie na zmenu klímy a prevencie rizika katastrof a odolnosti s prihliadnutím na ekosystémové prístupy;
- (vii) Posilnenie ochrany a zachovania prírody, biodiverzity a zelenej infraštruktúry, a to aj v mestských oblastiach, a zníženie všetkých foriem znečistenia.
▪ Priorita 3: Sociálnejšie pohraničie
Táto oblasť realizuje predpoklady štvrtého cieľa politiky EÚ Sociálnejšia a inkluzívnejšia Európa vykonávajúca Európsky pilier sociálnych práv. Program bude podporovať tri špecifické ciele:
- (ii) Zlepšenie rovnakého prístupu k inkluzívnym a kvalitným službám v oblasti vzdelávania, odbornej prípravy a celoživotného vzdelávania rozvíjaním dostupnej infraštruktúry vrátane posilňovania odolnosti pre dištančné a online vzdelávanie a odbornú prípravu;
- (v) Zabezpečenie rovného prístupu k zdravotnej starostlivosti a zvýšenie odolnosti systémov zdravotnej starostlivosti vrátane primárnej starostlivosti a podpory prechodu z inštitucionálnej starostlivosti na rodinnú a komunitnú starostlivosť;
- (vi) Posilnenie úlohy kultúry a udržateľného cestovného ruchu v oblasti hospodárskeho rozvoja, sociálneho začlenenia a sociálnej inovácie.
▪ Priorita 4: Spolupráca medzi inštitúciami a obyvateľmi pohraničia
Táto oblasť realizuje predpoklady cieľa politiky EÚ ISO 1 Lepšia správa spolupráce.
Program bude podporovať dva špecifické ciele:
- (ii) Zvyšovanie efektivity verejnej správy podporou právnej a administratívnej spolupráce a spolupráce medzi občanmi, aktérmi občianskej spoločnosti a inštitúciami, najmä s ohľadom na riešenie právnych a iných prekážok v pohraničných regiónoch;
- (iii) Budovanie vzájomnej dôvery, najmä propagáciou akcií typu “ľudia ľuďom”.
Účelom analýzy vplyvu na životné prostredie v rámci programového územia programu je identifikácia najdôležitejších environmentálnych problémov vrátane ich najcitlivejších prvkov a faktorov spôsobujúcich nepriaznivé zmeny na životné prostredie, ktoré môžu byť dôsledkom realizácie programu.
Podrobný popis jednotlivých priorít je uvedený v prílohe č. 1 - Kapitola 2 programu.

III. Základné údaje o predpokladaných vplyvoch strategického dokumentu na životné prostredie vrátane zdravia
1. Požiadavky na vstupy.
Vstupy pre program cezhraničnej spolupráce na roky 2021-2027 predstavujú finančné prostriedky z Európskeho fondu regionálneho rozvoja, štátneho rozpočtu Slovenskej republiky a prostriedky z vlastných zdrojov prijímateľov (celkový objem finančných prostriedkov z Európskeho fondu regionálneho rozvoja na podporu aktivít v rámci programu Interreg VI-A Slovensko – Rakúsko 2021-2027 je v sume 55 500 000 Eur).
2. Údaje o výstupoch.
Hlavné ukazovatele sú zamerané na sledovanie zvýšenia záujmu potenciálnych prijímateľov o realizáciu cezhraničných projektov, ako aj zvýšenia efektivity propagácie programu prostredníctvom prijímateľov.
Výstupy nie je možné vopred definovať, keďže konkrétne projekty (aktivity) budú vyberané v priebehu realizácie programu.
Predpokladá sa však, že na úrovni programu výstupy ovplyvní:
− Počet spoločne vypracovaných riešení;
− Počet organizácií zapojených do cezhraničnej spolupráce;
− Účasť na spoločných vzdelávacích programoch;
− Počet spoločne vyvinutých stratégií/akčných plánov;
− Realizácia spoločných pilotných aktivít;
− Počet účastníkov zapojených do spoločných cezhraničných aktivít.
3. Údaje o priamych a nepriamych vplyvoch na životné prostredie.
• V rámci programu sa plánujú realizovať projekty zamerané na zber a výmenu dát, informácií a skúseností potrebných na predchádzanie negatívnych dopadov klimatických zmien;
• Realizácia spoločných stratégií a akčných plánov zameraných na zlepšenie životného prostredia a ich prispôsobenie klimatickým zmenám;
• Zvyšovanie povedomia o zmierňovaní a prispôsobovaní sa zmene klímy;
• Aktivity zamerané na zber a výmenu dát, informácií a skúseností potrebných na zachovanie a obnovu biodiverzity a znižovanie znečistenia;
• Realizácia spoločných stratégií a akčných plánov na zachovanie a obnovu biodiverzity a znižovanie znečistenia;
• Osvetové aktivity o potrebe zachovania biodiverzity, znižovaní znečistenia a prínosoch budovania zelenej infraštruktúry;
• Výmena vedomostí, skúseností, odborných poznatkov a dobrej praxe medzi vzdelávacími inštitúciami na všetkých stupňoch vzdelávania od predprimárneho až po vysoké školstvo;
• Zachovanie a obnova kultúrneho a prírodného dedičstva;
• Spolupráca a výmena skúseností pri vytváraní a propagácii komplexných produktov cestovného ruchu;
• Spolupráca verejnej správy a spolupracujúcich subjektov na oboch stranách prihraničného územia;
• Vytváranie nových a upevňovanie existujúcich partnerstiev, sietí a cezhraničných štruktúr vrátane činností zameraných na voľnočasové a záujmové aktivity.
4. Vplyv na zdravotný stav obyvateľstva.
Výsledky projektov realizovaných v rámci programu môžu mať pozitívny vplyv na zdravotný stav obyvateľstva. Negatívny vplyv na zdravotný stav obyvateľstva nie je očakávaný.
5. Vplyvy na chránené územia [napr. navrhované chránené vtáčie územia, územia európskeho významu, európska sústava chránených území (Natura 2000), národné parky, chránené krajinné oblasti, chránené vodohospodárske oblasti a pod.] vrátane návrhu opatrení na ich zmiernenie.
V rámci hodnotenia vplyvu plánovaného programu na biodiverzitu a prírodné bohatstvo bude zanalyzované riziko výskytu negatívneho vplyvu na druhy rastlín, zvierat a prirodzených biotopov, ako aj zachovanie ich celistvosti, a to vnútornej celistvosti jednotlivých oblastí, ako aj vonkajšej s inými chránenými oblasťami a oblasťami, ktoré predstavujú ekologické koridory. Vzhľadom na typ plánovaných projektov a ich lokalizáciu (o. i. na území miest a v rámci už existujúcich objektov a na pretvorených územiach) bude v hodnotení zohľadnený aj vplyv na územia, ktoré sa nachádzajú mimo zákonných foriem ochrany prírody. V kontexte zachovania prírodného bohatstva a kontinuity ekologických koridorov, ako aj vzhľadom na dosah potenciálnych realizácií je dôležité, aby hodnotenie zohľadňovalo aj zdroje mimo chránených oblastí.
Návrh programu sa plánuje realizovať v prihraničných regiónoch na slovenskej aj rakúskej strane, do značnej miery pokrytých povrchovými formami ochrany prírody, čo znamená, že investície môžu prebiehať alebo sa môžu nachádzať na území chránených oblastí.
Typy aktivít navrhnuté v návrhu programu môžeme rozdeliť do niekoľkých skupín, ktorých pôsobenie na prírodu bude mať rôznorodý charakter, mieru a intenzitu. Vzhľadom na rozsah programu a vykonávané aktivity (miestne, regionálne) bude mimoriadne dôležitou otázkou zachovanie celistvosti chránených oblastí. Táto celistvosť je chápaná ako súbor faktorov, vlastností a procesov spojených s danou oblasťou, ktoré majú vplyv na ciele jej ochrany (týka sa to najmä oblastí Natura 2000), ale aj prepojení a ekologických väzieb s inými oblasťami (napr. v európskej sústave Natura 2000), ktorý zabezpečuje migráciu na úrovni ekosystémov, druhov a génov (ekologické koridory).
Časť aktivít navrhnutých v programe je priamo zameraná na zlepšenie fungovania ekosystémov a stavu biotopov a druhov. Pozitívne pôsobiť na prírodné zdroje a ich väzby budú predovšetkým aktivity realizované v rámci Priority 2 Zelenšie pohraničie a špecifického cieľa (vii) Posilnenie ochrany a zachovanie prírody, biodiverzity a zelenej infraštruktúry, a to aj v mestských oblastiach, a zníženie všetkých foriem znečistenia. V rámci špecifického cieľa (iv) Podpora adaptácie na zmenu klímy a prevencie rizika katastrof a odolnosti s prihliadnutím na ekosystémové prístupy budú aktivity zamerané predovšetkým na zlepšenie stavu klimatických zmien a odstraňovanie dôsledkov prírodných rizík.
Aktivity spojené s podporou informovanosti obyvateľstva, a to najmä žiakov a študentov, môžu prispieť k lepšiemu zachovaniu biodiverzity a zníženiu znečistenia v podporovanom území.
Niektoré z vybraných typov aktivít môžu mať potenciálne krátkodobý negatívny vplyv na biodiverzitu a celistvosť chránených oblastí a na ekologické koridory – týka sa to projektov spojených so zvyšovaním kvality turistickej infraštruktúry. Vhodne zvolenými opatreniami však môže byť potenciálny negatívny vplyv na životné prostredie eliminovaný.
6. Možné riziká súvisiace s uplatňovaním strategického materiálu.
Nepredpokladajú sa významnejšie riziká spojené s uplatňovaním strategického materiálu vo vzťahu k životnému prostrediu.
7. Vplyvy na životné prostredie presahujúce štátne hranice.
Vzhľadom na charakter strategického dokumentu a cezhraničný charakter aktivít môžu mať investície realizované na Slovensku vplyv na životné prostredie aj v rakúskej časti programového územia. V prípade projektov spojených so zvyšovaním kvality turistickej infraštruktúry sa môže vyskytnúť krátkodobý negatívny vplyv na biodiverzitu a celistvosť chránených oblastí. Ten však môže byť eliminovaný vhodne zvolenými opatreniami.
