BRANDUOLINIAI KLAUSIMAI

| 5. | ES tebėra visapusiškai įsipareigojusi propaguoti Sutarties dėl branduolinio ginklo neplatinimo (NPT) visuotinį taikymą ir visapusišką, galutinį ir veiksmingą įgyvendinimą, Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutarties (CTBT) įsigaliojimą ir derybų dėl Daliųjų medžiagų branduoliniams ginklams arba kitiems branduoliniams sprogstamiesiems įtaisams gamybos nutraukimo sutarties pradėjimą Nusiginklavimo konferencijoje ir spartų šių derybų užbaigimą. ES ir toliau teikia prioritetą zonos be masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių sukūrimui Artimuosiuose Rytuose. 2019 m. Taryba priėmė Sprendimą (BUSP) 2019/938 (1), kuriuo paskyrė UNIDIR 2 856 278 EUR remiant pasitikėjimo stiprinimo priemonių procesą siekiant sukurti Artimuosiuose Rytuose zoną be branduolinių ir visų kitų masinio naikinimo ginklų. |

Sutartis dėl branduolinio ginklo neplatinimo ir Tarptautinė atominės energijos agentūra

| 6. | NPT peržiūros ciklas tęsėsi: 2019 m. balandžio 27 d.–gegužės 10 d. Niujorke įvyko trečia NPT šalių 2020 m. peržiūros konferencijos Parengiamojo komiteto sesija. ES pateikė keturis pareiškimus: vieną – per bendrus debatus ir tris – atitinkamai per debatus dėl branduolinio nusiginklavimo, ginklų neplatinimo ir taikaus naudojimo būdų; taip pat padarytas specialus pareiškimas, kuriuo pritariama zonos be masinio naikinimo ginklų sukūrimui Artimuosiuose Rytuose. ES taip pat surengė papildomą renginį ir pateikė darbo dokumentą dėl savo atlikto Sutarties įvertinimo praėjus penkiasdešimčiai metų nuo jos priėmimo. Visos ES valstybės narės pritarė pareiškimui dėl Šiaurės Korėjos keliamos branduolinės problemos. ES dalyvavo visuose atitinkamuose debatuose, be kita ko, JT Generalinės Asamblėjos Pirmojo komiteto nusiginklavimo ir tarptautinio saugumo klausimais 73-ioje sesijoje įvykusiuose teminiuose debatuose dėl branduolinių ginklų. |

| 7. | Be to, 2019 m. balandžio 15 d. Taryba priėmė precedento neturintį Sprendimą (BUSP) 2019/615 (2), kuriuo siekiama finansiškai remti JT Nusiginklavimo reikalų biuro organizuojamas temines ir regionines konsultacijas rengiantis NPT šalių 2020 m. peržiūros konferencijai. Pagrindinis Tarybos sprendimo tikslas – padėti pasiekti sėkmingų rezultatų NPT peržiūros konferencijoje ir parengti realistiškus ir įgyvendinamus veiksmus bei rekomendacijas, dėl kurių gali būti pasiektas bendras sutarimas. Pagal šį Tarybos sprendimą UNODA 2019 m. surengė du regioninius seminarus: rugpjūčio 29–30 d. Adis Abeboje ir gruodžio 3–4 d. Bankoke, taip pat teminį seminarą taikaus branduolinės energijos naudojimo klausimais, įvykusį lapkričio 20–21 d. Vienoje. Regioniniuose susitikimuose buvo aptarti visi trys NPT ramsčiai, į juos žvelgiant pro regioninių prioritetų ir rūpimų problemų prizmę. Visa veikla siekiama atkreipti dėmesį į didelę naudą, kurią jau teikia NPT, ir į būtinybę šią naudą išlaikyti. |

| 8. | ES ir toliau rėmė pagrindinius TATENA įsipareigojimus, susijusius su ginklų neplatinimu, branduoline energija, branduoline sauga, branduoliniu saugumu ir techniniu bendradarbiavimu. |
| --- | --- |

8.

| 9. | Tarybos sprendimu (BUSP) 2016/2383 (3) ES prisideda prie 2018–2021 m. TATENA branduolinio saugumo plano įgyvendinimo. ES lėšomis toliau buvo remiama TATENA veikla siekiant: tarptautinių neplatinimo ir branduolinio saugumo priemonių visuotinio taikymo; padėti valstybėms formuoti vietos techninius, mokslinius ir žmogiškuosius pajėgumus branduolinio saugumo srityje; stiprinti pajėgumus užkirsti kelią nusikalstamoms arba tyčinėms nesankcionuotoms veikoms, susijusioms su branduolinėmis ar kitomis radioaktyviosiomis medžiagomis, kurioms netaikoma reguliuojamoji kontrolė, išsiaiškinti tokias veikas, į jas reaguoti ir apsaugoti nuo jų žmones, turtą, aplinką ir visuomenę; stiprinti neteisėtos prekybos branduolinėmis bei kitomis radioaktyviosiomis medžiagomis išaiškinimą ir atsakomuosius veiksmus; prisidėti prie kompiuterių saugumo branduolinėje srityje; stiprinti radioaktyviųjų šaltinių saugumą, kad būtų užtikrinamas jų saugus ir patikimas saugojimas šalyse, kurioms reikia paramos, be kita ko, grąžinant kilmės šaliai arba tiekėjui; stiprinti branduolinių ir kitų radioaktyviųjų medžiagų fizinę apsaugą. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | TATENA toliau sėkmingai įgyvendino 2016 m. lapkričio 15 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2016/2001 (4) dėl ES įnašo, skirto mažai įsodrinto urano (MĮU) rezervo, kurį kontroliuos Tarptautinė atominės energijos agentūra (TATENA), sukūrimui ir saugiam valdymui įgyvendinant ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategiją. |
| --- | --- |

10.

| 11. | 2019 m. Europos Komisijos Jungtinis tyrimų centras (JRC) baigė teikti paramą TATENA incidentų ir neteisėtos prekybos duomenų bazei (ITDB). |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | 5-o ES ir TATENA vyresniųjų pareigūnų susitikimo (2017 m. vasario 15 d.) metu JRC ir TATENA pasirašė „Praktinę bendradarbiavimo branduolinių mokslų taikymo būdų srityje tvarką“, kuria siekiama plėtoti bendrą veiklą ir išvengti pastangų dubliavimo. Vienas iš veiksmų, įtrauktų į šią praktinę tvarką, yra aplinkos radioaktyvumo stebėsena; radioaktyvumas matuojamas visoje Europoje ir daugelyje kitų pasaulio vietovių, nustatant gama spinduliuotės dozės normos vidutines ir didžiausias vertes per pastarąsias 24 valandas. Šiuos matavimų rezultatus pateikia 39 šalių kompetentingos nacionalinės institucijos iš maždaug 5 500 stebėjimo vietų; jos pateikia naujausias radiologines vertes Europos radiologinių duomenų mainų platformai (EURDEP). Pranešimas apie radiologinę avariją arba nepaprastąją radiologinę padėtį pateikiamas per išankstinio pranešimo tinklus, pavyzdžiui, ECURIE arba EMERCON, kuriuos atitinkamai valdo Europos Komisija ir TATENA, pasikonsultavus su kompetentingomis nacionalinėmis institucijomis. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Bendras visapusiškas veiksmų planas (BVVP) yra itin svarbus pasaulinės branduolinių ginklų neplatinimo struktūros elementas ir daugiašalės diplomatijos laimėjimas. Europos saugumui labai svarbu, kad susitarimas būtų toliau visapusiškai ir veiksmingai įgyvendinamas. ES toliau prisideda įgyvendinant BVVP, koordinuodama pagal BVVP įsteigtų Bendros komisijos ir kelių ekspertų lygio darbo grupių veiklą. ES taip pat toliau visapusiškai remia ilgalaikę TATENA misiją tikrinti ir stebėti, kaip Iranas vykdo savo įsipareigojimus branduolinėje srityje. Nuo 2016 m. ES įgyvendina BVVP III priedą, visų pirma įgyvendindama branduolinės saugos didinimo projektus. Bendradarbiavimui su Iranu civilinėje branduolinėje srityje vykdyti jau skirta 15 mln. EUR, ir sudarytos sutartys dėl trijų projektų, kuriais teikiama parama tiek Irano branduolinės energetikos reguliavimo institucijai, tiek branduolinės elektrinės operatoriui Bušehre. 2018 m. patvirtintas naujas projektas, kuriam skirtas 5 mln. EUR biudžetas; pagal jį reguliavimo institucijos Branduolinės saugos centrui bus tiekiama laboratorinė įranga . Tikimasi, kad sutartis dėl projekto bus sudaryta 2020 m. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Bendradarbiavimas su Iranu civilinėje branduolinėje srityje yra itin svarbus BVVP ramstis ir esminis ES bendradarbiavimo su Iranu aspektas. Jis padeda geriau suprasti Irano civilinio branduolinio sektoriaus poreikius ir palaipsniui didinti pasitikėjimą taikiu Irano branduolinės programos pobūdžiu. 2019 m. ES ir Irano bendradarbiavimas apėmė dažnus aukšto lygio mainus politikos klausimais, ypatingą dėmesį skiriant branduoliniam valdymui; bendrą seminarą civilinio branduolinio sektoriaus atsakomybės ir draudimo klausimais; projektus, kuriais remiamos Irano branduolinės reguliavimo institucijos pastangos laikytis tarptautinių standartų teisėkūros ir reguliavimo srityse; taip pat Branduolinės saugos centro, sukurto pagal ankstesnį ES finansuojamą projektą, įsteigimas; Irano studentų dalyvavimą Eksploatacijos nutraukimo vasaros mokykloje (angl. Decommissioning Summer School) ir praktiniame atliekų apibūdinimo ir nebekontroliavimo metrologijos seminare, vykusiame ES Jungtiniame tyrimų centre, ES ir Irano jungtinį praktinį seminarą dėl ataskaitų teikimo pagal Jungtinę panaudoto kuro ir radioaktyviųjų atliekų konvenciją, ES ir Irano jungtinį praktinį seminarą dėl pasirengimo radiologinei ar branduolinei avarijai ir reagavimo į ją, taip pat projektus, kuriais remiamas Arako mokslinių tyrimų reaktoriaus (Chondabe) modernizavimas ir Fordovo įrenginio pertvarkymas į branduolinį fizikos ir technologijų centrą. Iranas ir toliau buvo pagrindinis ES paramos branduolinės saugos srityje gavėjas. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | Visapusiški saugos garantijų susitarimai kartu su papildomais protokolais sudaro dabartinį tikrinimo standartą ir ES toliau propaguoja visuotinį prisijungimą prie jų. Glaudus Euratomo ir TATENA bendradarbiavimas sudaro sąlygas užtikrinti veiksmingas ir efektyvias saugos garantijas. ES aktyviai remia TATENA saugos garantijų sistemą pasinaudodama Europos Komisijos paramos saugos garantijoms programa, bendradarbiavimo branduolinės saugos srityje priemone ir valstybių narių paramos programomis. Europos Komisijos paramos saugos garantijoms programa stiprinami TATENA branduolinės saugos garantijų pajėgumai, skirti BVVP įgyvendinimui tikrinti, be kita ko, TATENA saugos garantijų inspektoriams rengiant mokymus apie papildomą prieigą ir COMPUCEA (kombinuotos urano koncentracijos ir sodrinimo analizės) veikimą siekiant patikrinti UF6 sodrinimą. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | Europos Komisija tęsia veiklą ir aktyviai remia Europos apsaugos priemonių tyrimo ir plėtros asociaciją (ESARDA), kuri 2019 m. pažymėjo savo 50-ąsias metines surengusi atvirą simpoziumą, kuriame 250 dalyvių iš viso pasaulio aptarė, daugiausia moksliniu ir techniniu požiūriu, branduolinės saugos garantijų ir ginklų neplatinimo klausimus. ESARDA taip pat tęsia tarptautinę informavimo veiklą – sudarė susitarimo memorandumus su Afrikos branduolinės energijos reikalų komisija ir Azijos ir Ramiojo vandenyno valstybių saugos garantijų tinklu ir glaudžiai bendradarbiauja su Branduolinių medžiagų tvarkymo institutu. ESARDA darbo grupės rengia, išbando ir patvirtina inovacines saugos garantijas ir neplatinimo metodus, kurie yra tiesiogiai naudingi Energetikos generalinio direktorato Branduolinės saugos garantijų direktoratui ir Tarptautinės atominės energijos agentūros Saugos garantijų departamentui. Mokslinių tyrimų ir technologinės plėtros rezultatai bei švietimo ir mokymo iniciatyvos stiprina Europos ir tarptautinius pajėgumus branduolinės saugos garantijų srityje ir strateginės prekybos kontrolę, kuri plėtojama apimant ir branduolinio saugumo ir branduolinio nusiginklavimo iniciatyvas. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | ES ir jos valstybės narės mano, kad itin svarbu pasaulio mastu užtikrinti branduolinę saugą ir nuolat ją didinti. 2017 m. įsigaliojusia iš dalies pakeista Branduolinės saugos direktyva ES suteikė teisinę galią Vienos deklaracijos dėl branduolinės saugos tikslams. Itin svarbus iš dalies pakeistos direktyvos elementas – visiems veiklos vykdytojams nustatytas saugos tikslas, siekiant užkirsti kelią avarijoms ir išvengti didelio radioaktyviųjų medžiagų išmetimo į aplinką. Iš dalies pakeistomis direktyvomis į Euratomo teisę taip pat įtraukti teminiai ekspertiniai vertinimai. Buvo sėkmingai atliktas pirmasis Europos lygmens teminis ekspertinis vertinimas. Visos ES valstybės narės perkėlė naujus reikalavimus į savo nacionalinę teisę. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | 2014–2020 m. laikotarpiu taikiam branduolinės energijos naudojimui remti ES skyrė 325 mln. EUR; šiomis lėšomis remiama branduolinė sauga, radiacinė sauga ir veiksmingų bei efektyvių saugos garantijų taikymas trečiosiose valstybėse. Europos Komisija, bendradarbiaudama su TATENA ir kitais partneriais, remia strateginio bendrojo plano dėl aplinkos atkūrimo Vidurinėje Azijoje, kuris bus finansuojamas iš ERPB tvarkomos specialios aplinkos atkūrimo sąskaitos, kurią tvarko ERPB, įgyvendinimą. Kaip didžiausia paramos teikėja, ES toliau palaiko ryšius su paramą gaunančiomis šalimis (Kirgizija, Tadžikistanu ir Uzbekistanu), kad paskatintų dalyvavimą ir pradėtų konkrečius valymo ir atkūrimo projektus. |

| 19. | 2019 m. liepos mėn. Naujasis saugus apvalkalas, dengiantis sunaikintą Černobylio atominės elektrinės 4-ąjį bloką, buvo oficialiai perduotas Ukrainai per ceremoniją, kurioje dalyvavo prezidentas Volodymyras Zelenskis, ir taip buvo užbaigtas ilgai vykdytas tarptautinis darbas, kurį inicijavo G 7, kad teritorija vėl taptų aplinkosaugos atžvilgiu saugi. ES skyrė daugiausia paramos Černobylio apsaugos fondui, kurį valdo Europos rekonstrukcijos ir plėtros bankas. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | ES ir jos valstybės narės toliau tvirtai remia TATENA techninio bendradarbiavimo programą, be kita ko, dideliais įnašais į Techninio bendradarbiavimo fondą ir Taikaus naudojimo būdų iniciatyvą. ES ir jos valstybės narės pagal įnašų dydį yra vienos didžiausių techninio bendradarbiavimo programos rėmėjų; ši programa yra svarbi priemonė siekiant sudaryti sąlygas saugiam ir taikiam branduolinių technologijų naudojimui ir įgyvendinti Darnaus vystymosi darbotvarkės iki 2030 m. tikslus. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | Kasmet ES ir TATENA rengia vyresniųjų pareigūnų susitikimą, kuriame peržiūrimas ir planuojamas jų plataus masto bendradarbiavimas. Paskiausią susitikimą 2019 m. vasario 12 d. Liuksemburge surengė Europos Komisija. Diskusijose daugiausia dėmesio skirta bendradarbiavimo branduolinės saugos, saugumo, saugos garantijų, branduolinės srities mokslinių tyrimų, inovacijų ir mokymo srityse. |

Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutartis

| 22. | Svarbūs ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategijos tikslai – CTBT įsigaliojimas ir visuotinis taikymas. Visos ES valstybės narės pademonstravo įsipareigojimą laikytis šios sutarties – jos ją ratifikavo ir pradėjo vykdyti pagrindinius įsipareigojimus pagal ją. CTBT yra tvirta pasitikėjimo ir saugumo stiprinimo priemonė. 2019 m. ES vykdė diplomatinę informavimo veiklą visų likusių II priede nurodytų ir II priede nenurodytų šalių atžvilgiu. ES informavimo veiklos tikslas buvo kviesti prisiimti įsipareigojimus dėl CTBT ratifikavimo. CTBT įsigaliojimo propagavimas buvo vienas iš veiksmų, nurodytų JT generalinio sekretoriaus dokumente „Mūsų bendros ateities užtikrinimas: nusiginklavimo darbotvarkė“, kurį ES nusprendė remti. |

Regioniniai klausimai

| 31. | ES ir jos valstybės narės toliau ragino KLDR daryti pažangą siekiant visiškai, patikrinamai ir negrįžtamai atsisakyti masinio naikinimo ginklo ir balistinių raketų programų. Tai buvo nurodoma visuose atitinkamuose ES pareiškimuose. ES toliau laikėsi pozicijos, kad Korėjos Liaudies Demokratinės Respublikos (KLDR) pakartotinai vykdomi balistinių raketų paleidimai, kuriais pažeidžiamos kelios JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos, kelia didelę grėsmę regioninei ir tarptautinei taikai bei saugumui ir pakerta esamas tarptautines pastangas užtikrinti ilgalaikę taiką ir saugumą Korėjos pusiasalyje. ES paragino KLDR nedelsiant sustabdyti visus paleidimus, pradėti prasmingas derybas ir imtis konkrečių bei įtikinamų veiksmų siekiant didinti pasitikėjimą ir visiškai, patikrinamai ir negrįžtamai atsisakyti visų savo branduolinio ginklo ir balistinių raketų programų. ES toliau ragino KLDR laikytis visų atitinkamų JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijų ir kitų savo tarptautinių pareigų ir įsipareigojimų, nedelsiant pasirašyti ir ratifikuoti CTBT ir vėl pradėti laikytis pagal NPT prisiimtų įsipareigojimų dėl saugos garantijų. ES greitai perkėlė visas Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijas į ES teisės aktus, taip pat nustatė griežtas autonomines sankcijas, kuriomis papildomos ir sustiprinamos JT jau nustatytos sankcijos. EIVT atstovo spaudai pareiškimai buvo paskelbti rugpjūčio 10 d., po to, kai buvo paleistos dvi trumpojo nuotolio balistinės raketos, ir spalio 2 d., po to, kai jūroje buvo paleista, kaip pranešama, balistinė raketa. |

JUNGTINIŲ TAUTŲ SAUGUMO TARYBOS REZOLIUCIJA 1540 IR ChBRB MEDŽIAGŲ RIZIKOS MAŽINIMAS

| 50. | JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucija 1540 (2004) tebėra vienas iš pagrindinių tarptautinės ginklų neplatinimo sistemos ramsčių. Tai pirmas tarptautinis dokumentas, kuriame integruotai ir išsamiai nagrinėjami masinio naikinimo ginklų, jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių ir atitinkamų medžiagų klausimai. JT ST rezoliucijoje 1540 (2004) visoms valstybėms nustatyti privalomi įsipareigojimai. Jais siekiama užkirsti kelią užkirsti kelią nevalstybiniams subjektams įsigyti tokių ginklų, jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių bei susijusių medžiagų ir atgrasyti juos nuo tokio įsigijimo. Pagal šią rezoliuciją, priimtą remiantis Jungtinių Tautų Chartijos VII skyriumi, reikalaujama, kad visos valstybės priimtų būtinus teisės aktus, kuriais nevalstybiniams subjektams būtų draudžiama įsigyti branduolinių, cheminių ar biologinių ginklų, ir įdiegtų tinkamą atitinkamų medžiagų kontrolę šalies viduje, kad būtų užkirstas kelias neteisėtai prekybai jomis. 2016 m. įvykdžius visapusišką JT ST rezoliucijos 1540 peržiūros procesą dar kartą patvirtinta jos svarba, reikšmingumas ir įtaka – tai atspindėta JT ST rezoliucijoje 2325. |

50.

| 51. | Kad padėtų įgyvendinti 2016 m. visapusiškos peržiūros rezultatus ir paremtų visišką JT ST rezoliucijos 1540 įgyvendinimą, 2017 m. gegužės 11 d. Europos Vadovų Taryba priėmė Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/809 (19), kuriuo remiamas Jungtinių Tautų Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos 1540 (2004) dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių neplatinimo įgyvendinimas. Šis Tarybos sprendimas taikomas 36 mėnesių laikotarpį ir jį įgyvendina JT nusiginklavimo reikalų biuras (UNODA) Niujorke; tam tikras įgyvendinimo užduotis pagal subrangos sutartį jis pavedė ESBO sekretoriatui Vienoje. ES finansavimas naudojamas padedant valstybėms nustatyti, kokios konkrečios techninės pagalbos reikia, didinti informuotumą apie atitinkamas techninės pagalbos programas ir stiprinti bendradarbiavimą su tarptautinėmis ir regioninėmis organizacijomis siekiant paremti nacionalinių pajėgumų stiprinimo pastangas. |

51.

| 52. | ES ChBRB medžiagų rizikos mažinimo kompetencijos centrų iniciatyva (toliau – Iniciatyva) yra pasaulinė pajėgumų stiprinimo programa; joje šiuo metu dalyvauja 61 valstybės partnerės, kurios yra suskirstytos į grupes pagal 8 regioninius sekretoriatus, esančius šiuose regionuose: Afrikos Atlanto vandenyno pakrantėje; Vidurinėje Azijoje; Rytų ir Centrinėje Afrikoje; Persijos įlankos bendradarbiavimo tarybos valstybėse; Artimuosiuose Rytuose; Šiaurės Afrikoje ir Sahelyje; Pietryčių Azijoje; Pietryčių ir Rytų Europoje. |
| --- | --- |

52.

| 53. | ChBRB medžiagų rizikos mažinimo kompetencijos centrų iniciatyva yra finansuojama pagal priemonę, kuria prisidedama prie stabilumo ir taikos (IcSP), ir ja siekiama mažinti su ChBRB medžiagomis susijusią riziką, stiprinti valstybių partnerių pasirengimą ir puoselėti saugumo kultūrą ir valdymą. Remiamos dalyvaujančių valstybių pastangos, vadovaujantis poreikiais grindžiamu regioniniu požiūriu, savanoriškai sukurti nacionalines ir regionines koordinavimo bei valdymo struktūras. Šios platformos plėtoja ir stiprina nacionalinę ChBRB srities politiką ir stiprina pajėgumus remdamosi konkrečių poreikių vertinimais ir nacionaliniais veiksmų planais. Jos remiamos pagal kelis regioninio bendradarbiavimo projektus, kurie finansuojami pagal Iniciatyvą ir gali būti finansuojami pagal kitas finansavimo priemones. Nuo 2010 m. buvo finansuojami 82 regioniniai projektai. Iniciatyvos biudžetas, nustatytas 10 metų laikotarpiui nuo 2010 m., sudaro apytikriai 250 mln. EUR. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Kompetencijos centrų tinklas šiuo metu yra tinkamai išplėtotas ir suteikė ES galimybę vykdyti mokymui skirtas teorinio modeliavimo pratybas ir tarpvalstybines pratybas realiomis sąlygomis įvairiose srityse, be kita ko, civilinės saugos, reagavimo į incidentus, biologinio saugumo ir atliekų tvarkymo srityse, vykdant kompetencijos centrų projektus, kad būtų padidintas matomumas ir konkrečiai įvertintas jų poveikis. Pradėti rengti regioniniai ChBRB veiksmų planai, taip pat plėtojamas tarpregioninis bendradarbiavimas. Be to, ši iniciatyva yra pakankamai brandi, kad būtų galima imtis kitų veiksmų, kuriais būtų sprendžiami saugumo valdymo klausimai, susiję su kibernetiniais nusikaltimais, terorizmu, ypatingos svarbos infrastruktūros objektais, suklastotais vaistais, hibridinėmis grėsmėmis ir sprogmenimis, ir toliau plėtojamas bendradarbiavimas branduolinės ekspertizės, sienų kontrolės ir dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolės klausimais. 2019 m. vykdant ChBRB kompetencijos centrų tinklo veiklą ES JRC, bendradarbiaudamas su JAV energetikos departamentu ir Kijevo branduolinių tyrimų institutu, parengė švietimo ir mokymo branduolinio saugumo klausimais veiklos programą, skirtą mokymų dalyviams iš Gruzijos, Ukrainos, Azerbaidžano ir Moldovos, kad būtų padidintas branduolinis saugumas Juodosios jūros regione. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | Toliau buvo įgyvendinamas Pasirengimo cheminėms, biologinėms, radiologinėms ir branduolinėms saugumo grėsmėms didinimo veiksmų planas, kurį 2017 m. spalio mėn. Komisija pateikė kaip platesnio Kovos su terorizmu dokumentų rinkinio dalį. Dabartiniame veiksmų plane, grindžiamame 2010–2015 m. ES ChBRB veiksmų plano pasiekimais, pateiktas platus spektras naujų priemonių, kurių tikslas yra pagerinti parengtį, atsparumą ir koordinavimą ES lygmeniu. Jame siūloma ES lygmeniu sukurti labiau į saugumą orientuotą ChBRB struktūrą, akcentuojant poreikį geriau naudoti esamus išteklius ir sutelkti turimas ekspertines žinias. Veiksmų plane taip pat raginama stiprinti ES parengtį ir reagavimą ChBRB srityje pasitelkiant tarpvalstybinius ir tarpsektorinius mokymus ir pratybas. Jame pabrėžiamas poreikis prireikus įtraukti atitinkamas sienos apsaugos ir muitinės institucijas bei karinio sektoriaus partnerius. Be to, veiksmų plane pabrėžiama su ChBRB saugumu susijusių vidaus ir išorės veiksmų sąsajų svarba, taip pat bendradarbiavimo su specializuotomis daugiašalėmis organizacijomis, pavyzdžiui, TATENA, Cheminio ginklo uždraudimo organizacija ar Interpolu, svarba. Veiksmų plano įgyvendinimas finansiškai remiamas pasitelkiant Vidaus saugumo fondą (policija). |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | ChBRB veiksmų planui buvo teikiama mokslinė ir techninė parama vykdant pagal 7-osios bendrosios programos Saugios visuomenės programą finansuojamus įvairius mokslinių tyrimų projektus. Moksliniai tyrimai apima visą krizės valdymo ciklą nuo prevencijos iki atkūrimo. Remiantis veikla, vykdoma siekiant nustatyti standartizavimo poreikius, būtų galima parengti „Europos normų“ standartus. Įgyvendinant programą „Horizontas 2020“ šiuo metu vykdomas darbas ChBRB mokslinių tyrimų srityje bus sustiprintas sutelkiant dėmesį į konkrečias temas. |

IDĖJŲ INSTITUTAI

| 57. | Remdamasis 2010 m. liepos 26 d. Tarybos sprendimu (BUSP) 2010/430 (20), ES konsorciumas masinio naikinimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo klausimais, pradėjęs veikti 2011 m. sausio mėn., aktyviai rėmė ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategijos įgyvendinimą. 2018 m. vasario 26 d. Taryba priėmė Sprendimą (BUSP) 2018/299 (21), kuriuo dar labiau išplečiama ES parama konsorciumo veiklai 2018–2021 m., remiantis ligšioliniais pasiekimais ir papildant juos naujais projektais. |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Konsorciumo veikla padidintas ES matomumas trečiosiose valstybėse bei pilietinėje visuomenėje ir svariai prisidėta prie ES politikos formavimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo srityse. Konsorciumas sudaro sąlygas specialistams palaikyti neformalius ryšius ir skatina įvairių suinteresuotųjų subjektų dialogą. Jo veikla padėjo didinti informuotumą apie masinio naikinimo ginklų ir įprastinių ginklų keliamas problemas, taip pat buvo nagrinėjamos galimybės tas problemas spręsti. Jo platus tinklas apima daugiau kaip 70 idėjų institutų ir mokslinių tyrimų centrų visoje Europoje, įskaitant narius visose ES valstybėse narėse ir valstybėse partnerėse, pavyzdžiui, Šveicarijoje ir Ukrainoje. 2019 m. prie tinklo prisijungė 14 institutų. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | Visuose konsorciumo renginiuose buvo užtikrinta dalyvių ir pranešėjų įvairovė lyties, amžiaus, praktinės patirties ir geografinio atstovavimo atžvilgiu. Konkrečiau, 2019 m., įgyvendindamas Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2018/299, konsorciumas organizavo šiuos renginius:

EKSPORTO KONTROLĖ

| 61. | 2019 m. Įprastinės ginkluotės eksporto darbo grupė (COARM) užbaigė Bendrosios pozicijos (BUSP) 2008/944 (23) dėl ginklų eksporto kontrolės peržiūrą. Taryba priėmė sprendimą, kuriuo iš dalies keičiama Tarybos bendroji pozicija, ir peržiūrėtą naudojimosi vadovą. Be to, ji priėmė išvadas dėl bendrosios pozicijos peržiūros. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | Tarybos sprendimu atsižvelgiama į keletą įvykių Europos Sąjungos ir tarptautiniu lygmenimis, dėl kurių nuo 2008 m., kai buvo priimta bendroji pozicija, valstybėms narėms atsirado naujų pareigų ir įsipareigojimų. Vienas iš šių įvykių visų pirma yra Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais (SPG), kuria reglamentuojama tarptautinė prekyba įprastiniais ginklais, įsigaliojimas 2014 m. gruodžio 24 d. Visos valstybės narės yra SPG šalys. SPG tikslas – nustatyti kuo aukštesnius bendrus tarptautinius standartus tarptautinei prekybai įprastiniais ginklais reguliuoti arba tokiam reguliavimui gerinti, taip pat užkirsti kelią neteisėtai prekybai įprastiniais ginklais, panaikinti ją ir užkirsti kelią ginklų nukreipimui. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Savo išvadose Taryba primena savo įsipareigojimą stiprinti karinių technologijų ir įrangos eksporto kontrolę, taip pat intensyvinti bendradarbiavimą ir skatinti konvergenciją karinių technologijų ir įrangos eksporto srityje. Tai daroma visoms valstybėms narėms nustatant, remiant ir įgyvendinant aukštus bendrus karinių technologijų ir įrangos perdavimo valdymo standartus. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | Be to, 2019 m. ES tęsė informavimo veiklą, kurios tikslas – remti trečiąsias valstybes joms kuriant ginklų eksporto kontrolės sistemas, taip pat propaguoti visuotinį SPG taikymą. Pagal 2018 m. sausio 22 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2018/101 (24), kurį įgyvendina Vokietijos federalinė ekonomikos reikalų ir eksporto kontrolės tarnyba (BAFA), buvo surengti keli regioniniai praktiniai seminarai, pažintiniai vizitai ir individualios pagalbos renginiai. Be to, remiant veiksmingą Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais įgyvendinimą ir visuotinį taikymą, pagal Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/915 (25), kurį įgyvendina BAFA ir „Expertise France“, buvo vykdoma daugiau regioninių informavimo veiksmų, įgyvendinamos specialiai pritaikytos nacionalinės paramos programos ir rengiami ad hoc individualios pagalbos praktiniai seminarai. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | 2018 m. ir 2019 m. įvyko politinio dialogo susitikimai ginklų eksporto kontrolės klausimais su Norvegija, Kanada, Jungtinėmis Amerikos Valstijomis ir Ukraina. Šiuose politinio dialogo susitikimuose vyko vaisingos diskusijos abipusio intereso klausimais, pavyzdžiui, eksporto į konkrečias paskirties šalis politikos, laikymosi bei kontrolės ir Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais proceso klausimais. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | 2019 m. ES toliau reguliariai atnaujino savo teisės normas, kad būtų atsižvelgta į daugiašalių eksporto kontrolės režimų pokyčius. Todėl Europos Komisija priėmė 2019 m. spalio 17 d. Deleguotąjį reglamentą (ES) 2019/2199 (26), kuriuo ES kontrolės sąrašas buvo atnaujintas atsižvelgiant į 2018 m. priimtus sprendimus taikant daugiašalius eksporto kontrolės režimus ir įvesta naujų kontrolės priemonių, taikomų, pvz., oro leidimo platformoms, MMIC stiprintuvams, diskretiniams mikrobanginiams tranzistoriams ir nepilotuojamiems povandeniniams aparatams. |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | Dvejopo naudojimo prekių kontrolės koordinavimo grupė toliau rėmė veiksmingą ir nuoseklų eksporto kontrolės įgyvendinimą ES. Dvejopo naudojimo prekių elektroninėje sistemoje buvo įdiegtos naujos funkcijos, kuriomis patobulintas keitimasis informacija ir techniniai mainai Europos Sąjungoje. Priėmus 2019 m. liepos 30 d. Komisijos rekomendaciją (ES) 2019/1318 (27), ES užbaigė pramonės atitikties reikalavimams gairių nustatymo procesą. ES taip pat toliau kūrė „elektroninę licencijų išdavimo platformą“, kuria kompetentingos institucijos naudotųsi savanorišku pagrindu. Siekiant užtikrinti eksporto kontrolės ir licencijavimo veiklos skaidrumą, buvo paskelbta metinė ataskaita (28), o 2019 m. gruodžio 13 d. buvo surengtas Eksporto kontrolės forumas, kuriame dalyvavo valstybių narių, pramonės ir pilietinės visuomenės suinteresuotieji subjektai (29). |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Buvo tęsiama ES eksporto kontrolės politikos peržiūra. Taryba ir Europos Parlamentas aktyviai nagrinėjo Komisijos pasiūlymą, kuriuo siekiama modernizuoti dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolę. 2019 m. birželio mėn. Taryba priėmė įgaliojimus vesti derybas su Europos Parlamentu, ir rudenį prasidėjo teisėkūros institucijų trišalis dialogas. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | ES pozicijos ir pareiškimai buvo atitinkamai derinami rengiantis atitinkamiems eksporto kontrolės režimų susitikimams: Branduolinių tiekėjų grupės plenariniam susitikimui Nur Sultane (2019 m. birželio 20–21 d.), Australijos grupės plenariniam susitikimui Paryžiuje (2019 m. birželio 3–7 d.) ir Raketų technologijų kontrolės režimo šalių susitikimui Oklende (2019 m. spalio 7–11 d.). |
| --- | --- |

69.

| 70. | Raketų technologijų kontrolės režimas (MTCR) yra neformali ir savanoriška asociacija, vienijanti šalis, kurios laikosi vienodų tikslų dėl nepilotuojamų pristatymo sistemų, galinčių pristatyti masinio naikinimo ginklą, neplatinimo ir siekia koordinuoti nacionalines eksporto licencijavimo pastangas, kad būtų užkirstas kelias jų platinimui. MTCR dalyvaujančios vyriausybės įsipareigojo laikytis bendrų eksporto politikos gairių (MTCR gairių), kurios taikomos nedalomam bendrajam kontroliuojamų prekių sąrašui (MTCR įrangos, programinės įrangos ir technologijų sąrašui). MTCR partneriai reguliariai keičiasi informacija atitinkamais nacionalinio eksporto licencijavimo klausimais. MTCR gairės ir kontrolės sąrašai yra tarptautinės geriausios praktikos kriterijai, kuriais vadovaujantis turi būti kontroliuojamas su raketomis susijusių prekių ir technologijų eksportas. |
| --- | --- |

70.

| 71. | MTCR kontekste ES svarbus klausimas tebėra tai, kad blokuojamas Estijos, Kipro, Kroatijos, Latvijos, Lietuvos, Maltos, Rumunijos, Slovakijos ir Slovėnijos prisijungimas prie šio režimo. Tam, kad eksporto kontrolės režimai, tokie kaip MTCR, gerai veiktų ir būtų patikimi, itin svarbus pirmininkavimo šiems režimams tęstinumas ir nuspėjamumas. 2019 m. spalio mėn. ES valstybės narės, kurios yra MTCR narės, pateikė svarstymui plenariniame susitikime neoficialų dokumentą „Dėl pirmininkavimo klausimų“, kuriame nagrinėjamos galimybės paskatinti ir remti tvarų pirmininkavimą režimui. ES ir toliau diskutuos su nariais apie įvairias galimybes. Režimo kontekste ES visada pritaria tam, kad būtų priimti griežti MTCR vieši pareiškimai, atspindintys tarptautiniu mastu kilusį susirūpinimą dėl Irano ir KLDR įvykdytų balistinių raketų paleidimų ir reikšmingo raketų technologijų plėtojimo šiose šalyse. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | Šešiuose regionuose buvo toliau įgyvendinama ES partnerystės principu grindžiama (P2P) eksporto kontrolės programa, kuria siekiama didinti dvejopo naudojimo prekių ir atitinkamų medžiagų, įrangos bei technologijų eksporto kontrolės sistemų veiksmingumą. 2019 m. programa buvo išplėsta sudarant galimybes bendradarbiauti su Iraku; šiuo metu ji apima iš viso 37 šalis, įskaitant kartu su Ukrainos mokslo ir technologijų centru bei Kazachstano tarptautiniu mokslo ir technologijų centru vykdomas eksporto kontrolės tikslines iniciatyvas, kurios apima 13 šalių. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | ES P2P eksporto kontrolės programos veiksmai buvo toliau intensyviai koordinuojami su JAV valstybės departamento eksporto kontrolės ir susijusio sienų saugumo programa. Surengti bendri ES ir JAV seminarai siekiant pasidalyti informacija apie grėsmių vertinimo metodikas, apibrėžti bendrus poveikio rodiklius ir koordinuoti pagalbą vietoje. 2019 m. rugpjūčio mėn. ES Suomijoje surengė metinį ES P2P vasaros universitetą strateginės prekybos kontrolės klausimais ES P2P eksporto kontrolės programos valstybėms partnerėms. ES P2P portalas buvo perkeltas į oficialią Europos Sąjungos internetinę aplinką (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en), vizualiniai ir turinio atnaujinimai bus užbaigti 2020 m. Jis ir toliau bus naudojamas kaip visoms ES informavimo programoms karinių ir dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolės srityje skirta platforma, siekiant pritaikyti pagal poreikius keitimąsi informacija su ES valstybėmis partnerėmis. Programa finansuojama pagal priemonę, kuria prisidedama prie stabilumo ir taikos. |

73.

KOSMOSAS

| 74. | ES ir jos valstybės narės toliau skatino išsaugoti saugią ir tvarią kosmoso aplinką ir taikiai naudoti kosminę erdvę teisingu ir visiems priimtinu pagrindu. Mes toliau pabrėžėme skaidrumo ir pasitikėjimo stiprinimo priemonių svarbą ir būtinybę Jungtinių Tautų sistemoje propaguoti atsakingą elgesį kosminėje erdvėje. Šiuo atžvilgiu ES padarė su kosmosu susijusius pareiškimus JT Generalinėje Asamblėjoje, JT Nusiginklavimo konferencijoje, JT Nusiginklavimo komisijoje ir JT Kosminės erdvės taikaus naudojimo komitete (COPUOS). |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | ES ir jos valstybės narės tebebuvo tvirtai įsipareigojusios užkirsti kelią ginklavimosi varžyboms kosminėje erdvėje, nes tai itin svarbu siekiant stiprinti tarptautinį saugumą bei stabilumą ir užtikrinti ilgalaikį kosminės erdvės aplinkos naudojimą taikiais tikslais. Toliau reiškėme susirūpinimą dėl visų priešpalydovinių ginklų ir pajėgumų, įskaitant antžeminius, plėtojimo ir akcentavome, kad svarbu greitai spręsti tokio plėtojimo klausimus tarptautinių pastangų užkirsti kelią ginklavimosi varžyboms kosminėje erdvėje kontekste. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | ES ir jos valstybės narės tvirtai rėmė preambulės ir 21 ilgalaikio veiklos kosminėje erdvėje tvarumo gairių priėmimą; šios gairės buvo priimtos JT Kosminės erdvės taikaus naudojimo komitete ir patvirtintos JT Generalinės Asamblėjos rezoliucija 2019 m. (30). Gairėmis svariai papildytos skaidrumo ir pasitikėjimo stiprinimo kosminės erdvėje priemonės (31). |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Gruodžio 9 d. ES konsorciumas masinio naikinimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo klausimais, bendradarbiaudamas su EIVT Kosmoso darbo grupe, surengė seminarą „Saugumas, sauga, tvarumas: gero elgesio kosminėje erdvėje propagavimas“. Seminaro tikslas buvo pasikeisti nuomonėmis ir informacija apie nacionalines, regionines ir pasaulines iniciatyvas, kuriomis skatinama išsaugoti saugią ir tvarią kosmoso aplinką ir taikiai naudoti kosminę erdvę teisingu ir visiems priimtinu pagrindu. Seminare dalyvavo valstybių pareigūnai, akademinio pasaulio ir privačiojo sektoriaus atstovai. Dalyviai palankiai įvertino vaisingą kosmoso bendruomenės ir masinio naikinimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo srities bendruomenės diskusiją klausimais, susijusiais su kosminės erdvės saugumu, sauga ir tvarumu. |

NUOSTATOS DĖL MASINIO NAIKINIMO GINKLŲ (MNG) NEPLATINIMO

| 78. | Laikydamasi MNG neplatinimo politikos ir 2003 m. Tarybos išvadų, ES toliau dėjo pastangas, kad į susitarimus su valstybėmis partnerėmis būtų integruoti įsipareigojimai dėl MNG neplatinimo. Be to, buvo tęsiamos derybos dėl nuostatos dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų naujajame susitarime su Azerbaidžanu; tokios derybos su Čile ir Kirgizija buvo užbaigtos.
