 Nõukogu määrusega (EÜ) nr 2287/2003 määratakse 2004. aastaks kindlaks teatavate
 kalavarude ja kalavarurühmade püügivõimalused ning tingimused, mida kohaldatakse
 ühenduse vetes ning ühenduse kalalaevade suhtes püügipiirangutega vetes. Määrust on vaja
 muuta uute teaduslike andmete tõttu.
 (1) Keskkonnakaitsenõuete ühtsesse kalanduspoliitikasse kaasamise protsess eeldab, et
 võetaks vastu meetmed kalapüügitegevusega mereökosüsteemidele avaldatava mõju
 minimeerimiseks. Seda nõuet väljendatakse selgesõnaliselt määruse (EÜ) nr 2371/2002
 (ühisele kalanduspoliitikale vastava kalavarude kaitse ja säästva kasutamise kohta) artiklis 21.
 Uuemad teadusuuringud on näidanud, et teatud süvamere-elupaiku tuleb kaitsta
 kalapüügivahenditega põhjustatava mehhaanilise erosiooni eest. Siia hulka kuuluvad
 süvamerekorallide (Lophelia pertusa) kogumitest, soojusallikatest ja karbonaatkuhjatistest
 moodustunud elupaigad. Hiljutiste teadusuuringute ja eriti Rahvusvahelise Mereuurimise
 Nõukogu (ICES) uuringute tulemusena on Atlandi ookeanis leitud ja kaardistatud mitmeid
 selliseid elupaiku. Lophelia pertusa’t on täheldatud Kanaari saarte lähedal ja mitmes paigas
 Atlandi ookeanis asuvate Madeira ja Assoori saarte ümbruses, enamasti üle 1000 m
 sügavusel.
 21. mai 1992. aasta direktiivis 92/43/EÜ looduslike elupaikade ning loodusliku loomastiku ja
 taimestiku kaitse kohta2 on nimetatud süvamere-elupaigad loetud ühendusele huvi
 pakkuvateks elupaikadeks. Lisaks pakuvad need üha enam huvi keskkonnakaitsealastele
 rahvusvahelistele foorumitele. Nii näiteks lülitas Kirde-Atlandi merekeskkonna kaitse
 konventsioon hiljaaegu süvamere-korallrifid ohustatud elupaikade nimekirja. Süvamere-
 elupaikade kui erilist kaitset nõudvate ohustatud elupaikadega tegeletakse ka ÜRO ookeanide
 ja mereõiguse mitteametlike konsultatsioonide (UNICPOLOS) raames. Maailma eri
 piirkondades on mitmed rannikuriigid juba rakendanud vajalikke kaitsemeetmeid. Vastavalt
 määruse 2371/2002 artiklile 7 kiitis komisjon 20. augustil 2003. aastal Ühendkuningriigi
 palvel heaks erakorralised abinõud, millega keelati põhjatraalide kasutamine Darwini
 ahelikul; järgnevalt muutis nõukogu kõnealuse abinõu komisjoni ettepaneku põhjal alaliseks
 oma 22. märtsi 2004. aasta määrusega (EÜ) nr 602/2004, millega muudetakse määrust (EÜ)
 nr 850/98 seoses süvavee korallriffide kaitsega traalpüügi mõju eest Šotimaast loodesse jääval
 alal3.
 Lisaks asuvad Assoore, Madeirat ja Kanaari saari ümbritsevas ühenduse kalastusvööndis
 mitmed teadaolevad või võimalikud süvamere-elupaigad, mis on tänu nõukogu määrusega
 (EÜ) nr 2027/95 kehtestatud juurdepääsu erirežiimile jäänud seni traalimisest puutumata.
 Kuna kõnealuse režiimi kehtivus lõppes 15. novembril 2003. aastal, on nüüd tähtis tagada
 mainitud piirkondade jätkuv kaitse ühenduse seadusandlusega. Sel eesmärgil võttis komisjon
 vastu ettepaneku keelata traalide kasutamine ülalnimetatud saarestike ümbruses
 (KOM(2004/56)), muutes määrust (EÜ) nr 850/98 kalavarude kaitsest noorte
 mereorganismide kaitseks võetud tehniliste meetmete kaudu4.

 ---pagebreak--- Käesoleva ettepaneku koostamisel kõnealuste tähtsate mereelupaikade kaitseks võttis
 komisjon arvesse ICESi viimaseid aruandeid. ICES on juhtinud tähelepanu iseäranis sellele,
 kui tundlikud on nimetatud elupaigad traalimise mõju suhtes.
 Kuna 2004. aastal valitakse uus Euroopa Parlamendi koosseis, lükkub kõnealuse ettepaneku
 vastuvõtmine tõenäoliselt mõne kuu võrra edasi ja see tähendab ohtu, et kaitsemeetmete
 puudumisel võidakse Assooride piirkonnas traalimisega põhjustada süvamere-elupaikadele
 väga raskesti korvatavat kahju.
 Nimetatud kaalutlustel on kohane ülalnimetatud piirkondades traalide kasutamise keelamiseks
 muuta 2004. aasta TACi määrust, mille IV lisa käsitleb konkreetselt kalapüügi tehnilisi
 tingimusi käsitlevaid meetmeid, mida tuleks kohaldada 2004. aastal. See pakub kõnealustele
 süvamere-elupaikadele ajutiselt kaitset seni, kuni Euroopa Parlament on esitanud oma
 arvamuse ja nõukogu võtnud vastu otsuse komisjoni ettepaneku kohta, millega muudetakse
 määrust (EÜ) nr 850/98.
 Samas kui kõnealusel meetmel on märkimisväärselt soodne pikaajaline mõju keskkonnale, ei
 ole sellel olulisi tagajärgi kalapüügisektori jaoks, kuna traalimise keeld kehtis kuni viimase
 ajani. Lisaks võivad kalalaevastikud jätkata kaitstaval alal püüki veetavate püünistega, mis ei
 puuduta merepõhja, näiteks pelaagiliste traalnootade, õngejadade, seinnootade ja muude
 seisevpüünistega.
 (2) Ühendkuningriigi teadustalitustelt on saadud uusi põhjalikke andmeid, mis näitavad, et
 väljaspool “tursakaitsevööndit” tegutsevate kalalaevastike väljapüükides on tursa osakaal
 olnud alati väike. Seetõttu leitakse, et väljaspool tursapüügitsooni kalastavate laevade
 püügikoormuse, näiteks lubatud merepäevade arvu suurendamine ei kujuta endast tursavarude
 taastumisele olulist täiendavat ohtu. Siinjuures tuleb aga tagada, et selliseid
 lisapüügivõimalusi ei saaks üle kanda muudele, teistsugustes kalastamistingimustes
 tegutsevatele laevadele.
 Nõukogul palutakse käesolev ettepanek võimalikult kiiresti vastu võtta, et võimaldada
 kaluritel planeerida oma tegevust käesolevaks püügihooajaks.

 uuringute tulemusena on Atlandi ookeanis leitud ja kaardistatud väga tundlikke
 süvamere-elupaiku. Nimetatud elupaiku asustavad olulised ja väga mitmekesised
 bioloogilised kooslused ja neid peetakse esmajärjekorras kaitset vajavateks. 21. mai

 Lisaks lülitati süvamere-korallrifid hiljuti Kirde-Atlandi merekeskkonna kaitse

 Kiedy nieobecności są powodem powtarzania stażu?
 Zgodnie z art. 9d ust. 5 Karty Nauczyciela w przypadku nieobecności nauczyciela w pracy z powodu czasowej niezdolności do pracy wskutek choroby, zwolnienia z obowiązku świadczenia pracy lub urlopu innego niż urlop wypoczynkowy i urlopy, o których mowa w ust. 5a, trwającej nieprzerwanie dłużej niż miesiąc, staż ulega przedłużeniu o czas tej nieobecności. W przypadku nieobecności dłuższej niż rok nauczyciel jest obowiązany do ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze. W jakim przypadku zachodzi taka konieczność?
 Uprawnienie do odbywania awansu zawodowego i zdobywania kolejnych jego stopni to jedno z podstawowych praw nauczyciela, które przysługuje mu niezależnie od tego, czy jest on zatrudniony w jednostce publicznej, czy niepublicznej. Wynika to z treści art. 91b ust. 2 pkt 3 i 4 Karty, zgodnie z którymi do nauczycieli zatrudnionych w przedszkolach i szkołach niepublicznych w wymiarze wynoszącym co najmniej pół etatu mają zastosowanie przepisy art. 9a do 9i Karty Nauczyciela, czyli regulacje dotyczące właśnie awansu zawodowego. O ile zatem w przypadku szkół i przedszkoli samorządowych prawo do zdobywania kolejnych stopni awansu zawodowego przysługuje niezależnie od wymiaru etatu nauczyciela, to w przypadku szkół niepublicznych prawo to jest uzależnione od wymiaru etatu, ale w przypadku spełniania tego kryterium nauczyciel jak najbardziej ma prawo awans realizować.
 Co za tym idzie, do nauczycieli, którzy awans realizują, mają zastosowanie przepisy dotyczące przedłużania stażu. Zgodnie z art. 9b ust. 1 Karty odbycie stażu jest jednym z warunków nadania kolejnego stopnia awansu zawodowego, a sam staż – zgodnie z art. 9c ust. 1 – trwa 9 miesięcy w przypadku ubiegania się o awans na stopień nauczyciela kontraktowego oraz 2 lata i 9 miesięcy w przypadku ubiegania się o awans na stopień nauczyciela mianowanego i nauczyciela dyplomowanego.
 W pewnych przypadkach staż może zostać przedłużony oraz powtórzony, o czym stanowią regulacje art. 9d ust. 5 i 5a Karty.
 Przedłużanie stażu
 Zgodnie z art. 9d ust. 5 Karty Nauczyciela w przypadku nieobecności nauczyciela w pracy z powodu czasowej niezdolności do pracy wskutek choroby, zwolnienia z obowiązku świadczenia pracy lub urlopu innego niż urlop wypoczynkowy i urlopy, o których mowa w ust. 5a, trwającej nieprzerwanie dłużej niż miesiąc, staż ulega przedłużeniu o czas trwania tej nieobecności. W przypadku nieobecności dłuższej niż rok nauczyciel jest obowiązany do ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze.
 W jakim przypadku rzeczywiście zachodzi konieczność ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze? Wydaje się, że przywołana regulacja jest jasna, a jednak bywa jednocześnie źródłem problemów interpretacyjnych. Wynikają one z faktu, że o ile zdanie pierwsze przywołanej regulacji mówi o nieobecności trwającej „nieprzerwanie”, o tyle drugie nie zawiera już takiego warunku. Powodem przedłużenia stażu jest zatem nieobecność trwająca „nieprzerwanie” dłużej niż miesiąc. Takie sformułowanie powoduje, że nie można przyjąć, iż nieobecności będące powodem przedłużenia stażu ulegają sumowaniu. Innymi słowy, kilka nieobecności trwających łącznie ponad miesiąc, ale jednocześnie przedzielonych okresami, w czasie których nauczyciel normalnie pracował, nie może być uznane za nieobecności nieprzerwane. Co za tym idzie, nieobecności takie nie będą powodem przedłużenia stażu. Jeżeli więc – dla przykładu – nieobecność z powodu choroby trwała trzy tygodnie, a następnie nauczyciel pracował kilka tygodni lub miesięcy, by znowu zachorować na okres dwóch tygodni, to takie nieobecności nie będą powodować konieczności przedłużenia stażu z uwagi na fakt, że nie wystąpił wymagany regulacją art. 9d ust. 5 warunek „nieprzerwania” nieobecności – była ona bowiem właśnie przerwana okresem zwykłego wykonywania pracy.
 Jak już wspomniano powodem przywołanych problemów interpretacyjnych jest brak podobnego warunku „nieprzerwania” nieobecności w zdaniu drugim art. 9d ust. 5 Karty Nauczyciela, zgodnie z którym „w przypadku nieobecności dłuższej niż rok nauczyciel jest obowiązany do ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze”. Brak wspomnianego warunku powoduje, że można przyjąć interpretację, zgodnie z którą wszystkie nieobecności mające miejsce w czasie odbywania stażu należy zsumować. Artykuł 9d ust. 5 nie wskazuje bowiem, że wyłącznie w przypadku wystąpienie „nieprzerwanej” nieobecności trwającej dłużej niż rok nauczyciel jest obowiązany do odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze. Kilka nieobecności w trakcie stażu, które były przerywane okresami zwykłej pracy nauczyciela, ale łącznie trwały dłużej niż rok, spowoduje, że nauczyciel będzie musiał powtórzyć staż. Tu rodzi się pytanie, czy brak warunku „nieprzerwanej” nieobecności jest celowym zabiegiem ustawodawcy, który rzeczywiście ma powodować sumowanie wszystkich nieobecności, czy też mamy raczej do czynienia z niedopatrzeniem ustawodawcy, którego zamiarem takie sumowanie wcale nie było.
 Jaką przyjąć interpretację?
 Można wskazać argumenty za tym, że sumowanie wszystkich nieobecności nie było zamiarem ustawodawcy. Przede wszystkim należy zwrócić uwagę na sposób zredagowania przepisu art. 9d ust. 5 zdanie drugie Karty Nauczyciela. Przepis ten stanowi wyłącznie, że „w przypadku nieobecności dłuższej niż rok nauczyciel jest obowiązany do ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze”. Co szczególnie istotne, przepis ten nie wskazuje powodów nieobecności nauczyciela, które byłyby podstawą do powtórzenia stażu. Nie oznacza to jednak, że nieobecności z dowolnych powodów trwające dłużej niż rok są powodem powtórzenia stażu, lecz że regulację tę należy interpretować w powiązaniu ze zdaniem poprzedzającym, które określa powody nieobecności, takie jak na przykład choroba. Jeżeli natomiast przepis ten interpretujemy łącznie ze zdaniem pierwszym, można uznać, że również do nieobecności będącej powodem powtórzenia stażu stosujemy jednak warunek „nieprzerwania”, bowiem warunek taki znajdujemy właśnie w zdaniu pierwszym art. 9d ust. 5. Tylko nieprzerwana nieobecność trwająca dłużej niż rok może być zatem powodem ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze.
 Przeciwko takiej interpretacji przemawia jednak treść kolejnej regulacji Karty Nauczyciela, czyli art. 9d ust. 5a, zgodnie z którym: „(...) w przypadku nieobecności nauczyciela w pracy z powodu urlopu macierzyńskiego, urlopu na warunkach urlopu macierzyńskiego, dodatkowego urlopu macierzyńskiego, dodatkowego urlopu na warunkach urlopu macierzyńskiego, urlopu rodzicielskiego lub urlopu ojcowskiego staż ulega przedłużeniu o czas trwania tej nieobecności. W przypadku gdy łączny czas nieprzerwanej nieobecności w pracy z przyczyn, o których mowa w zdaniu pierwszym oraz w ust. 5, jest dłuższy niż rok i 6 miesięcy, nauczyciel jest obowiązany do ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze”.
 Przepis ten został dodany na mocy ustawy z dnia 20 lutego 2015 r. o zmianie ustawy o systemie oświaty oraz niektórych innych ustaw (Dz. U. z 2015 r., poz. 357) i wprowadza dodatkowe warunki będące powodem przedłużania stażu i jego powtarzania, czyli – na przykład – urlop macierzyński lub urlop na warunkach urlopu macierzyńskiego. Co ważne, w tej regulacji mamy już wyraźne wskazanie, że „łączna” nieobecność dłuższa niż rok i 6 miesięcy może być powodem ponownego odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze. Mamy tu więc dłuższy niż w poprzednim przepisie art. 9d ust. 5 okres nieobecności powodujący powtarzanie stażu, przy czym to wydłużenie dopuszczalnego okresu nieobecności wynika z dodatkowych powodów, którymi nieobecność ta została spowodowana, czyli m.in. ze wspomnianego urlopu macierzyńskiego.
 Wydłużona nieobecność nieskutkująca jeszcze koniecznością powtórzenia stażu może jednak być spowodowana zarówno przyczynami z art. 9d ust. 5a, jak również przyczynami z art. 9d ust. 5 Karty, lecz powiązanymi z przyczynami wymienionymi w art. 9d ust. 5. Choroba zatem, wymieniona w ust. 5, powoduje konieczność powtórzenia stażu, gdy trwa dłużej niż rok. Jeżeli jednak choroba ta jest połączona np. z wymienionym w ust. 5a urlopem macierzyńskim, wówczas nieobecność skutkująca koniecznością odbycia stażu w pełnym wymiarze musi być dłuższa niż rok i 6 miesięcy, przy czym tu już wyraźnie mamy przywołany warunek „łącznej” nieobecności. Uznać zatem należy, że jednak intencją ustawodawcy było nałożenie na nauczyciela konieczności powtarzania stażu wówczas, gdy jego zsumowane nieobecności trwały dłużej niż rok. Dodatkowe warunki z ust. 5a wpływają jedynie na wydłużenie okresu, który nie skutkuje koniecznością przedłużenia stażu, bowiem wówczas sumujemy okres wszystkich nieobecności do jednego roku i 6 miesięcy. Wszystkie nieobecności w ciągu odbywania stażu nauczyciela należy więc zsumować – jeżeli są one spowodowane chorobą, łączny czas nieobecności nie może przekroczyć roku, a jeżeli powodem nieobecności jest choroba i do tego urlop macierzyński, łączny czas nieobecności nie może być dłuższy niż rok i 6 miesięcy. Przekroczenie tak zsumowanego czasu nieobecności powoduje konieczność powtórzenia stażu.
 Prowadzi to do wniosku, że nieumieszczenie w zdaniu drugim art. 9d ust. 5 Karty Nauczyciela warunku nieprzerwanej nieobecności było celowym zabiegiem ustawodawcy, bo jego intencją było właśnie to, aby nieobecności dodane do siebie i trwające dłużej niż rok powodowały powtórzenie stażu.
