mt	Id-Deċiżjoni 1313/2013/UE tistabbilixxi l-qafas legali tar-rescEU.

en	In July 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and the virus is still considered a high-risk disease.
mt	F'Lulju 2019, l-Organizzazzjoni Dinjija tas-Saħħa (WHO) iddikjarat l-epidemija tal-virus tal-Ebola fir-Repubblika Demokratika tal-Kongo (RDK) bħala Emerġenza tas-Saħħa Pubblika ta' Tħassib Internazzjonali u l-virus għadu jitqies bħala marda ta' riskju għoli.

en	In accordance with Article 12(4) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU, quality requirements for medical countermeasures, intensive care medical equipment, and personal protective equipment capacities under rescEU should be based on established international standards, where such standards already exist.
mt	F'konformità mal-Artikolu 12(4) tad-Deċiżjoni 1313/2013/UE, ir-rekwiżiti ta' kwalità għal kontromiżuri mediċi, tagħmir mediku għall-kura intensiva, u l-kapaċitajiet ta' tagħmir protettiv personali skont ir-rescEU jenħtieġ li jkunu bbażati fuq standards internazzjonali stabbiliti, fejn tali standards diġà jkunu jeżistu.

en	For reasons of consistency with other Union acts, the definition of ‘serious cross-border threats to health' in this Decision should be the definition in Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) .
mt	Għal raġunijiet ta' konsistenza ma' atti oħra tal-Unjoni, jenħtieġ li d-definizzjoni ta' "theddid transkonfinali serju għas-saħħa" f'din id-Deċiżjoni tkun id-definizzjoni fid-Deċiżjoni Nru 1082/2013/UE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (5) .

en	Over the last decades, major outbreaks of serious cross-border threats to health capable of human-to-human transmission, such as Ebola, the Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), have put to the test the international community, calling for a coordinated response to limit the diffusion of those infectious diseases.
mt	Matul l-aħħar għexieren ta' snin, l-epidemiji ewlenin ta' theddid transkonfinali serju għas-saħħa li jgħaddi minn bniedem għall-ieħor, bħall-Ebola, is-sindromu respiratorja akut gravi (SARS) u s-sindromu respiratorju tal-Lvant Nofsani (MERS) kienu ta' prova għall-komunità internazzjonali li titlob reazzjoni koordinata sabiex jiġi limitat it-tixrid ta' dak il-mard infettiv.

en	The global spread of this kind of highly infectious diseases, as also demonstrated by the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV and the related coronavirus disease COVID-19 outbreak requires a coordinated action from Member States in order to avoid an escalation of the emergency across the Union, which has already been severely hit by these outbreaks.
mt	Il-firxa globali ta' dan it-tip ta' mard infettiv ħafna, kif intwera wkoll mill-coronavirus il-ġdid 2019-nCoV u l-epidemija tal-marda tal-coronavirus marbuta miegħu COVID-19, titlob azzjoni koordinata mill-Istati Membri sabiex tiġi evitata eskalazzjoni tal-emerġenza madwar l-Unjoni, li diġà ntlaqtet b'mod gravi minn dawn l-epidemiji.

mt	DEĊIŻJONI (UE) 2020/441

en	Taking into account the exceptional economic and financial circumstances associated with the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), on 18 March 2020, the Governing Council decided to expand the range of eligible assets under the CSPP to non-financial commercial papers, making all commercial papers of sufficient credit quality eligible for purchase under CSPP.
mt	Filwaqt li kkunsidra ċ-ċirkostanzi eċċezzjonali mill-aspett ekonomiku u finanzjarju li huma marbuta mat-tixrid tal-marda coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), fit-18 ta' Marzu 2020, il-Kunsill Governattiv iddeċieda li jespandi l-firxa ta' assi eliġibbli taħt is-CSPP għal dokumenti kummerċjali mhux finanzjarji, b'hekk id-dokumenti kummerċjali kollha jsiru ta' kwalità ta' kreditu suffiċjenti eliġibbli għal xiri taħt is-CSPP.

en	Decision (EU) 2016/948 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/16) (1) established a corporate sector purchase programme (CSPP).
mt	Id-Deċiżjoni (UE) 2016/948 tal-Bank Ċentrali Ewropew (BĊE/2016/16) (1) , stabbilixxiet programm ta' xiri mis-settur korporattiv (CSPP).

en	Alongside the third covered bond purchase programme, the asset-backed securities purchase programme and the secondary markets public sector asset purchase programme, the CSPP is part of the expanded asset purchase programme (APP) of the ECB.
mt	Flimkien mat-tielet programm ta' xiri ta' bonds iggarantiti, il-programm ta' xiri ta' titoli ggarantiti b'assi u l-programm ta' xiri ta' assi tas-settur pubbliku mis-swieq sekondarji, is-CSPP huwa parti mill-programm ta' xiri ta' assi estiż (APP) tal-BĊE.

en	The APP aims to enhance the transmission of monetary policy, facilitate the provision of credit to the euro area economy, ease borrowing conditions for households and firms, and support the sustained convergence of inflation rates to levels below, but close to, 2% over the medium term, consistent with the ECB's primary objective of maintaining price stability.
mt	L-għan tal-APP huwa li jtejjeb it-trasmissjoni tal-politika monetarja, jiffaċilita l-għoti ta' kreditu lill-ekonomija taż-żona tal-euro, iħaffef il-kundizzjonijiet għat-teħid ta' self minn unitajiet domestiċi u ditti, u jappoġġa l-konverġenza sostnuta tar-rati tal-inflazzjoni għal livelli li huma taħt, iżda qrib għal, 2 % fuq medda ta' żmien medju, b'mod konsistenti mal-għan ewlieni tal-BĊE li jżomm l-istabbiltà tal-prezzijiet.

en	Therefore, Decision (EU) 2016/948 (ECB/2016/16) should be amended accordingly,
mt	Għalhekk, id-Deċiżjoni (UE) 2016/948 (BĊE/2016/16) għandha tiġi emendata kif meħtieġ,

en	While the Union and its Member States have consistently advocated for a global reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation at a level no higher than 2020 levels, it appears under the present circumstances that a reference to 2019 as the baseline period is the closest possible proxy based on real data for the purposes of mirroring ICAO's long term goal of carbon neutral growth from 2020, as established in Resolution A 39-3.
mt	Filwaqt li l-Unjoni u l-Istati Membri tagħha sostnew pożizzjoni konsistenti favur mira għal tnaqqis globali ta' emissjonijiet ta' gassijiet b'effett ta' serra mill-avjazzjoni internazzjonali f'livell mhux ogħla mil-livelli tal-2020, iċ-ċirkostanzi attwali juru li l-perijodu ta' referenza għandu jsemmi l-2019 bħala l-eqreb alternattiva possibbli bbażata fuq data reali bl-iskop li tirrifletti l-mira fit-tul tal-ICAO għal tkabbir newtrali fil-karbonju mill-2020, kif stabbilit mir-Riżoluzzjoni A39-3.

en	The relevance of such review is underscored by the need to ensure consistency with a long-term aspirational CO2 emissions reduction goal, consistent with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, to be considered by the ICAO Assembly.
mt	Ir-rilevanza ta' tali rieżami hija ssottolinjata mill-ħtieġa li tiġi żgurata konsistenza ma' mira fit-tul mixtieqa għat-tnaqqis fl-emissjonijiet ta' CO2, konsistenti mal-miri għat-temperatura tal-Ftehim ta' Pariġi, li trid titqies mill-Assemblea tal-ICAO.

en	On 27 June 2018, at the tenth meeting of its 214th session, the ICAO Council adopted the First Edition of Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Convention: the International Standards and Recommended Practices on Environmental Protection - Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation ('CORSIA').

en	In line with Resolution A39-3, which was superseded by Resolution A40-19 adopted by the ICAO Assembly during its 40th session ('Resolution A40-19'), that First Edition establishes inter alia the emissions values which are to be used to calculate growth factors (both the Sector's Growth Factor and the Aeroplane Operators' Growth Factors).
mt	F'konformità mar-Riżoluzzjoni A39-3, li ġiet sostitwita mir-Riżoluzzjoni A40-19 adottata mill-Assemblea tal-ICAO waqt l-40 sessjoni tagħha ("ir-Riżoluzzjoni A40-19"), dik l-Ewwel Edizzjoni tistabbilixxi fost l-oħrajn il-valuri tal-emissjonijiet li għandhom jintużaw għall-kalkolu tal-fatturi ta' żieda (kemm il-Fattur ta' Żieda tas-Settur kif ukoll il-Fatturi ta' Żieda tal-Operaturi tal-Ajruplani).

en	Others seems to have taken similar actions on a more informal basis.
mt	Jidher li oħrajn ħadu azzjonijiet simili fuq bażi aktar informali.

en	Production of personal protective equipment such as mouth protection masks in the Union is currently concentrated in a limited number of Member States, namely the Czech Republic, France, Germany, and Poland.
mt	Il-produzzjoni ta' tagħmir ta' protezzjoni personali bħall-maskri tal-protezzjoni tal-ħalq fl-Unjoni bħalissa hija kkonċentrata f'għadd limitat ta' Stati Membri, jiġifieri r-Repubblika Ċeka, Franza, il-Ġermanja u l-Polonja.

en	Due to the urgency of the situation, justified by the fast spreading of the COVID-19 infection, the measures provided for in this Regulation should be taken in accordance with Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/479.
mt	Minħabba l-urġenza tas-sitwazzjoni, iġġustifikata mit-tixrid rapidu tal-infezzjoni COVID-19, il-miżuri previsti f'dan ir-Regolament jenħtieġ li jittieħdu f'konformità mal-Artikolu 3(3) tar-Regolament (UE) 2015/479.

en	Since the outbreak of the epidemiological crisis caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the disease associated with it, the COVID-19, has been spreading fast across the world, reaching also the Union's territory.
mt	Minn mindu faqqgħet il-kriżi epidemjoloġika kkawżata mill-coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, il-marda assoċjata miegħu, il-COVID-19, bdiet tinfirex b'mod rapidu madwar id-dinja, u laħqet ukoll it-territorju tal-Unjoni.

en	At this moment in time, there are on-going efforts to increase manufacturing capabilities.
mt	F'dan il-mument, qed isiru sforzi kontinwi biex jiżdiedu l-kapaċitajiet ta' manifattura.

en	Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/479 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2015 on common rules for exports (1) , and in particular Article 5 thereof,
mt	Wara li kkunsidrat ir-Regolament (UE) 2015/479 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tal-11 ta' Marzu 2015 dwar regoli komuni għall-esportazzjoni (1) , u b'mod partikolari l-Artikolu 5 tiegħu,

en	The demand for medical protective equipment has been exacerbated in the last days and is expected to continue increasing significantly in the imminent future with accompanying shortages developing in several Member States.
mt	Id-domanda għal tagħmir ta' protezzjoni mediku ġiet aggravata fl-aħħar jiem u mistennija tkompli tiżdied b'mod sinifikanti fil-futur imminenti u fl-istess waqt jiżviluppaw skarsezzi f'diversi Stati Membri.

en	REGULATION (EU) 2020/459 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
mt	REGOLAMENT (UE) 2020/459 TAL-PARLAMENT EWROPEW U TAL-KUNSILL

en	However, that Article does not address situations like the outbreak of COVID-19.
mt	Madankollu, dak l-Artikolu ma jindirizzax is-sitwazzjonijiet bħat-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19.

en	It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making (3) .
mt	Huwa partikolarment importanti li l-Kummissjoni twettaq konsultazzjonijiet xierqa matul ix-xogħol tagħha ta' tħejjija, ukoll fil-livell tal-esperti, u li dawk il-konsultazzjonijiet jiġu mwettqa f'konformità mal-prinċipji stipulati fil-Ftehim Interistituzzjonali tat-13 ta' April 2016 dwar it-Tfassil Aħjar tal-Liġijiet (3) .

en	Slots at coordinated airports are a valuable economic resource.
mt	Is-slots fl-ajruporti koordinati huma riżorsa ekonomika ta' valur.

en	Under Article 8(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 (2) , read in conjunction with Article 10(2) thereof, the failure by an air carrier to operate at least 80 % of a series of slots which it has been allocated at a coordinated airport threatens the historical precedence for these slots.
mt	Skont l-Artikolu 8(2) tar-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KEE) Nru 95/93 (2) , moqri flimkien mal-Artikolu 10(2) tiegħu, in-nuqqas ta' trasportatur tal-ajru li jopera mill-inqas 80 % ta' serje ta' slots li ġew allokati lilu f'ajruport ikkoordinat jhedded il-preċedenza storika għal dawn is-slots.

en	Figures published by Eurocontrol, which is the network manager for the air traffic network functions of the single European sky, indicate a year-on-year fall of approximately 10 % in air traffic for the European region in the first half of March 2020.
mt	Iċ-ċifri ppubblikati mill-Eurocontrol, li hija l-operatur tan-netwerk għall-funzjonijiet tan-netwerk tat-traffiku tal-arju tal-Ajru Uniku Ewropew, jindikaw tnaqqis fuq bażi ta' sena wara sena ta' madwar 10 % fit-traffiku tal-ajru għar-reġjun Ewropew fl-ewwel nofs ta' Marzu 2020.

en	Air carriers are reporting large falls in forward bookings and are implementing significant cancellations of flights into the ‘winter 2019/2020' and ‘summer 2020' scheduling periods as a result of the outbreak.
mt	It-trasportaturi tal-ajru qegħdin jirrapportaw tnaqqis kbir fil-prenotazzjonijiet u qegħdin jimplimentaw kanċellazzjonijiet sinifikanti ta' titjiriet fil-perijodi ta' skedar tax-"xitwa 2019/2020" u tas-"sajf 2020" bħala riżultat tat-tifqigħa.

en	In view of the urgency entailed by the exceptional circumstances caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, it was considered to be appropriate to provide for an exception to the eight‐week period referred to in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community.
mt	Minħabba l-urġenza li tirriżulta miċ-ċirkostanzi eċċezzjonali kkawżati mit-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19, ġie kkunsidrat xieraq li tiġi prevista eċċezzjoni għall-perijodu ta' tmien ġimgħat imsemmi fl-Artikolu 4 tal-Protokoll Nru 1 dwar ir-rwol tal-Parlamenti nazzjonali fl-Unjoni Ewropea, li huwa anness mat-Trattat dwar l-Unjoni Ewropea, mat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea u mat-Trattat li jistabbilixxi l-Komunità Ewropea tal-Enerġija Atomika.

en	The further development of COVID-19 and its further impact on air carriers are difficult to predict.
mt	Huwa diffiċli li wieħed jipprevedi l-evoluzzjoni ulterjuri ta' COVID-19 u l-impatt ulterjuri tiegħu fuq it-trasportaturi tal-ajru.

en	Article 10(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 allows slot coordinators to disregard, for the purpose of calculating historical precedence, the non-operation of airport slots for periods during which the air carrier is unable to operate the planned air services due to, for example, airport closures.
mt	L-Artikolu 10(4) tar-Regolament (KEE) Nru 95/93 jippermetti lill-koordinaturi tas-slots biex, għall-fini tal-kalkolu tal-preċedenza storika, ma jqisux in-nuqqas ta' utilizzazzjoni tas-slots tal-ajruport għall-perijodi li matulhom it-trasportatur tal-ajru ma jkunx jista' jopera s-servizzi tal-ajru ppjanati minħabba, pereżempju, l-għeluq tal-ajruporti.

en	The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a sharp drop in air traffic as a result of a significant fall in demand and direct measures taken by the Member States as well as third countries to contain the outbreak.
mt	It-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19 wasslet għal tnaqqis kbir fit-traffiku tal-ajru bħala riżultat ta' tnaqqis sinifikanti fid-domanda u miżuri diretti meħuda mill-Istati Membri kif ukoll minn pajjiżi terzi biex jikkontrollaw it-tifqigħa.

en	The consequent serious impact on air carriers set in as early as January 2020 in respect of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, has been pervasive since 1 March 2020, and is likely to affect at least two scheduling periods, those of winter 2019/2020 and summer 2020.
mt	L-impatt serju konsegwenti fuq it-trasportaturi tal-ajru beda jidher kmieni sa minn Jannar 2020, fir-rigward tar-Repubblika tal-Poplu taċ-Ċina u tar-Reġjun Amministrattiv Speċjali ta' Hong Kong tar-Repubblika tal-Poplu taċ-Ċina, ilu jinxtered mill-1 ta' Marzu 2020, u x'aktarx ser jaffettwa mill-inqas żewġ perijodi ta' skedar, dawk tax-xitwa 2019/2020 u tas-sajf 2020.

mt	li jemenda r-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KEE) Nru 95/93 dwar ir-regoli komuni għall-allokazzjoni ta' slots f'ajruporti tal-Komunità

en	In light of known forward bookings and epidemiological forecasts, it can reasonably be expected at this stage that a significant number of cancellations attributable to the outbreak of COVID-19 will occur over the period between 1 March 2020 and at least 24 October 2020.
mt	Fid-dawl tal-prenotazzjonijiet magħrufa u tal-previżjonijiet epidemjoloġiċi, wieħed jista' jistenna b'mod raġonevoli f'dan l-istadju li se jseħħ għadd sinifikanti ta' kanċellazzjonijiet minħabba t-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19 fil-perijodu bejn l-1 ta' Marzu 2020 u mill-inqas l-24 ta' Ottubru 2020.
