NUKLEARNA PITANJA

| 5. | EU je i dalje u potpunosti predan promicanju univerzalizacije i potpune, cjelovite i učinkovite provedbe Ugovora o neširenju nuklearnog oružja (NPT), stupanja na snagu Ugovora o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT) te započinjanja i brzog zaključivanja pregovora o ugovoru o zabrani proizvodnje fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave na Konferenciji o razoružanju. Uspostava područja bez oružja za masovno uništenje i sustavâ za njegovu isporuku na Bliskom istoku i dalje je prioritet EU-a. Vijeće je 2019. donijelo Odluku (ZVSP) 2019/938 (1) o osiguravanju 2 856 278 EUR Institutu Ujedinjenih naroda za istraživanje razoružanja (UNIDIR) za potporu procesu donošenja mjera za izgradnju povjerenja koji vodi uspostavi područja bez nuklearnog oružja i sveg drugog oružja za masovno uništenje na Bliskom istoku. |

Ugovor o neširenju nuklearnog oružja i Međunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju

| 6. | Ciklus preispitivanja NPT-a nastavljen je na trećoj sjednici Pripremnog odbora Revizijske konferencije stranaka NPT-a 2020. održanoj u New Yorku od 27. travnja do 10. svibnja 2019. EU je dao četiri izjave: jednu u okviru opće rasprave i tri u okviru rasprava o nuklearnom razoružanju, neširenju oružja i upotrebi u miroljubive svrhe; dana je i posebna izjava kojom se podupire uspostava područja bez nuklearnog oružja na Bliskom istoku. EU je organizirao i popratno događanje te podnio radni dokument o svojoj procjeni Ugovora pedeset godina nakon njegova donošenja. Sve države članice EU-a poduprle su izjavu o sjevernokorejskom nuklearnom pitanju. EU je pridonio svim relevantnim raspravama, među ostalim tematskoj raspravi o nuklearnom oružju na 74. sjednici prvog odbora za razoružanje i međunarodnu sigurnost Opće skupštine UN-a. |

| 7. | Osim toga, Vijeće je 15. travnja 2019. donijelo Odluku (ZVSP) 2019/615 (2) bez presedana čiji je cilj pružanje financijske potpore organizaciji tematskih i regionalnih savjetovanja Ureda UN-a za poslove razoružanja u okviru priprema za Revizijsku konferenciju stranaka NPT-a 2020. Glavni je cilj Odluke Vijeća pomoći omogućiti uspješan ishod Revizijske konferencije NPT-a i razvoj realističnog i izvedivog skupa mjera i preporuka o kojima se može postići konsenzus. U skladu s tom Odlukom Vijeća Ured UN-a za poslove razoružanja 2019. organizirao je dva regionalna seminara: u Adis Abebi 29. i 30. kolovoza te u Bangkoku 3. i 4. prosinca, kao i tematski seminar o upotrebi nuklearne energije u miroljubive svrhe u Beču 20. i 21. studenoga. Regionalni sastanci obuhvatili su sva tri stupa NPT-a s obzirom na regionalne prioritete i bojazni. Svim aktivnostima nastoje se istaknuti brojne koristi koje se NPT-om već pružaju te potreba za očuvanjem tih koristi. |

| 11. | Zajednički istraživački centar Europske komisije 2019. dovršio je svoju potporu IAEA-inoj bazi podataka o incidentima i krijumčarenju (ITDB). |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | Na marginama 5. sastanka visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e (15. veljače 2017.), Zajednički istraživački centar i IAEA potpisali su „Praktične aranžmane suradnje o primjeni nuklearne znanosti” čiji je cilj razvijanje zajedničkih aktivnosti i izbjegavanje udvostručivanja napora. Jedna od aktivnosti obuhvaćena tim praktičnim aranžmanima jest praćenje stanja okoliša u pogledu radioaktivnosti koja se mjeri diljem Europe i na nizu drugih lokacija na svijetu u obliku prosječnih i najviših zabilježenih vrijednosti stope doze gama-zračenja u posljednja 24 sata. Ta mjerenja potječu iz približno 5 500 mjesta za praćenje kojima upravljaju nadležna nacionalna tijela u 39 zemalja, koja Europskoj platformi za razmjenu radioloških podataka (EURDEP) dostavljaju najnovije radiološke vrijednosti. Obavješćivanje o radiološkoj nesreći ili hitnoj situaciji obavlja se putem mreža za rano obavješćivanje kao što su ECURIE kojim upravlja Europska komisija ili EMERCON kojim upravlja IAEA, nakon savjetovanja s nadležnim nacionalnim tijelima. |

12.

| 13. | Zajednički sveobuhvatni akcijski plan (ZSAP) ključni je element globalne arhitekture za neširenje nuklearnog oružja i postignuće multilateralne diplomacije. Nastavak potpune i učinkovite provedbe sporazuma od suštinske je važnosti za europsku sigurnost. EU i dalje doprinosi provedbi ZSAP-a koordiniranjem Zajedničke komisije i niza radnih skupina na stručnoj razini osnovanih u okviru ZSAP-a. EU također i dalje u potpunosti podupire dugoročnu misiju IAEA-a da provjerava i prati obveze Irana u vezi s nuklearnim pitanjem. EU od 2016. radi na provedbi Priloga III. ZSAP-u, osobito putem projekata za poboljšanje nuklearne sigurnosti. Za civilnu nuklearnu suradnju s Iranom i tri ugovorena projekta kojima se pruža potpora Iranskom regulatornom tijelu za nuklearnu energiju i operateru nuklearne elektrane u Bušeheru već je dodijeljeno 15 milijuna EUR. Novi projekt odobren je 2018. s proračunom od 5 milijuna EUR koji obuhvaća nabavu laboratorijske opreme za Centar za nuklearnu sigurnost regulatornog tijela. Očekuje se da će se projekt ugovoriti 2020. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Civilna nuklearna suradnja s Iranom ključni je stup ZSAP-a i okosnica suradnje EU-a s Iranom. Pomaže u boljem razumijevanju civilnih nuklearnih potreba Irana i postupnoj izgradnji povjerenja u miroljubivu prirodu nuklearnog programa Irana. Suradnja između EU-a i Irana u 2019. obuhvaćala je česte razmjene na visokoj razini o političkim pitanjima s posebnim naglaskom na nuklearnom upravljanju; zajedničku radionicu o odgovornosti i osiguranju u području civilne upotrebe nuklearne energije; projekte kojima se podupiru nastojanja iranskog regulatornog tijela za nuklearnu energiju da se uskladi s međunarodnim standardima u području zakonodavstva i propisa, kao i osnivanje centra za nuklearnu sigurnost osmišljenog u okviru prethodnog projekta koji je financirao EU; sudjelovanje iranskih studenata u ljetnoj školi za razgradnju i radionici o mjeriteljstvu za određivanje svojstava otpada i njegovo otpuštanje iz nadzora u Zajedničkom istraživačkom centru EU-a, zajedničkoj radionici EU-a i Irana o izvješćivanju Zajedničkoj konvenciji o istrošenom gorivu i radioaktivnom otpadu, zajedničkoj radionici EU-a i Irana o pripravnosti i odgovoru na izvanredne situacije u slučaju radiološke ili nuklearne izvanredne situacije te projektima kojima se podupire modernizacija reaktora za istraživanje u Araku (Khondab) i preobrazba postrojenja Fordow u centar za nuklearnu energiju, fiziku i tehnologiju. Iran je ostao najveći korisnik potpore EU-a u području nuklearne sigurnosti. |

14.

| 15. | Sveobuhvatni sporazumi o zaštitnim mjerama s dodatnim protokolima čine aktualni standard provjere te EU nastavlja pozivati na njihovo univerzalno poštovanje. Bliska suradnja EURATOM-a i IAEA-e omogućuje učinkovite i djelotvorne zaštitne mjere. EU aktivno podržava sustav zaštitnih mjera IAEA-e s pomoću Programa potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije, Instrumenta za suradnju u području nuklearne sigurnosti i programâ potpore država članica. Programom potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije jačaju se sposobnosti nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera IAEA-e za provjeru provedbe ZSAP-a, među ostalim omogućivanjem osposobljavanja inspektorima za zaštitne mjere IAEA-e u području dodatnog pristupa i rada COMPUCEA-e (Kombinirani postupak za analizu koncentracije i obogaćivanja urana) za provjeru obogaćivanja tvari UF6. |

15.

| 16. | Europska komisija i dalje djeluje i aktivno podupire Europsko udruženje za istraživanje i razvoj zaštitnih mjera (ESARDA) koje je 2019. svoju 50. obljetnicu postojanja obilježilo otvorenim simpozijem koji je privukao 250 sudionika iz cijelog svijeta i na kojem se raspravljalo o pitanjima nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera i neširenja nuklearnog oružja, uglavnom sa znanstvenog i tehničkog stajališta. ESARDA nastavlja i svoje međunarodno djelovanje memorandumima o razumijevanju s afričkom komisijom za nuklearnu energiju i azijskom pacifičkom sigurnosnom mrežom te u bliskoj suradnji s Institutom za upravljanje nuklearnim materijalima. Radne skupine ESARDA-e razvijaju, ispituju i vrednuju inovativne zaštitne mjere i pristupe neširenju oružja koji su od izravne koristi Upravi za nuklearne zaštitne mjere GU-a ENER i Odjelu za zaštitne mjere Međunarodne agencije za atomsku energiju. Rezultatima istraživanja i razvoja te inicijativama za obrazovanje i osposobljavanje jačaju se europske i međunarodne sposobnosti u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera te strateška kontrola trgovine, čime i razvoj inicijativa za nuklearnu sigurnost i nuklearno razoružanje. |

16.

| 17. | EU i njegove države članice pridaju iznimnu važnost provedbi i kontinuiranom poboljšanju nuklearne sigurnosti diljem svijeta. EU je izmijenjenom Direktivom o nuklearnoj sigurnosti koja je stupila na snagu 2017. dao pravnu snagu ciljevima iz Bečke deklaracije o nuklearnoj sigurnosti. Ključni je element izmijenjene direktive uvođenje sigurnosnog cilja za sve operatere kako bi se spriječili incidenti i izbjegla znatna radioaktivna ispuštanja. Izmjenom direktiva također su se unijeli tematski stručni pregledi u pravo Euratoma. Prvi europski tematski stručni pregled već je uspješno proveden. Sve države članice EU-a prenijele su nove zahtjeve u svoja nacionalna prava. |

17.

| 18. | U cilju unapređivanja upotrebe nuklearne energije u miroljubive svrhe EU je u razdoblju od 2014. do 2020. dodijelio 325 milijuna EUR za promicanje nuklearne sigurnosti, zaštite od zračenja te primjene učinkovitih i djelotvornih zaštitnih mjera u trećim zemljama. Europska komisija, u suradnji s IAEA-om i drugim partnerima, podupire provedbu strateškog glavnog plana za sanaciju okoliša u središnjoj Aziji koji će se financirati s namjenskog računa za sanaciju okoliša (ERA) kojim upravlja EBRD. Kao glavni donator, EU i dalje pokreće suradnju sa zemljama korisnicama (Kirgistan, Tadžikistan i Uzbekistan) kako bi potaknuo angažman i pokrenuo konkretne projekte čišćenja i sanacije. |

18.

| 19. | U srpnju 2019. nova zaštitna konstrukcija koja pokriva uništeni reaktor 4 u nuklearnoj elektrani u Černobilu službeno je predana Ukrajini tijekom svečanosti na kojoj je prisustvovao predsjednik Volodimir Zelenskij, čime su dovršena dugotrajna međunarodna nastojanja koja je pokrenula skupina G7 kako bi lokacija ponovno postala okolišno sigurna. EU je najveći donator Fonda za černobilski sarkofag nakon Europske banke za obnovu i razvoj koja upravlja fondom. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | EU i njegove države članice i dalje snažno podupiru program tehničke suradnje IAEA-e, među ostalim putem znatnih doprinosa Fondu za tehničku suradnju i Inicijativi za miroljubivo korištenje. EU i njegove države članice ubrajaju se među dionike koji najviše doprinose programu tehničke suradnje koji je važan alat za omogućivanje sigurne, zaštićene i miroljubive upotrebe nuklearne tehnologije i ispunjavanje ciljeva iz Programa održivog razvoja do 2030. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | EU i IAEA održavaju godišnji sastanak visokih dužnosnika na kojem preispituju i planiraju svoju opsežnu suradnju. Europska komisija bila je domaćin posljednjeg sastanka koji je održan u Luxembourgu 12. veljače 2019. Rasprave su bile usmjerene na jačanje suradnje u području nuklearne sigurnosti, zaštite, zaštitnih mjera te istraživanja, inovacija i osposobljavanja u području nuklearne energije. |

Ugovor o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa

| 22. | Stupanje na snagu Ugovora o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT) i njegova univerzalnost važni su ciljevi Strategije EU-a protiv širenja oružja za masovno uništenje. Sve države članice EU-a pokazale su predanost Ugovoru tako što su ga ratificirale i primijenile njegove temeljne obveze. CTBT je snažna mjera za izgradnju povjerenja i sigurnosti. EU se 2019. uključio u aktivnosti diplomatskog djelovanja u svim preostalim zemljama iz Priloga II. i zemljama koje nisu obuhvaćene Prilogom II. Cilj tog djelovanja EU-a bio je zatražiti da se te zemlje obvežu na ratifikaciju CTBT-a. Promicanje stupanja na snagu CTBT-a bila je jedna od mjera programa glavnog tajnika UN-a „Osiguravanje naše zajedničke budućnosti: program za razoružanje” koji je EU odlučio podržati. |

Regionalna pitanja

| 31. | EU i njegove države članice nastavili su poticati DNRK da se usmjeri prema potpunom, provjerljivom i nepovratnom napuštanju svojih programa oružja za masovno uništenje i balističkih projektila. To se navodi u svim relevantnim izjavama EU-a. EU i dalje smatra da opetovano lansiranje balističkih projektila koje je provela Demokratska Narodna Republika Koreja (DNRK), čime je prekršila više rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a, predstavlja ozbiljnu prijetnju regionalnom i međunarodnom miru i sigurnosti te podriva aktualna međunarodna nastojanja za postizanje trajnog mira i sigurnost na Korejskom poluotoku. EU je pozvao DNRK da odmah zaustavi sva svoja lansiranja, uključi se u smislene pregovore i poduzme konkretne i vjerodostojne korake prema izgradnji povjerenja i potpunom, provjerljivom i nepovratnom napuštanju svih svojih programa nuklearnog oružja i balističkih projektila. EU je nastavio poticati DNRK da u potpunosti poštuje sve relevantne rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a te svoje druge međunarodne obveze i odgovornosti, da bez odlaganja potpiše i ratificira CTBT te da se ponovno počne pridržavati svojih obveza u pogledu zaštitnih mjera u okviru NPT-a. EU je brzo prenio sve rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti u zakonodavstvo EU-a te je donio i stroge autonomne sankcije kojima se dopunjuju i jačaju sankcije koje je donio UN. Izjave glasnogovornika ESVD-a dane su 10. kolovoza nakon lansiranja dvaju balističkih projektila kratkog dometa i 2. listopada nakon što je navodno ispaljen balistički projektil na moru. |

Konferencija o razoružanju (CD) / Ugovor o zabrani proizvodnje fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave

| 32. | EU ostaje ujedinjen i predan provjerljivom nuklearnom razoružanju i kontroli oružja utemeljenima na ugovoru te naglašava potrebu za obnavljanjem multilateralnih napora i revitalizacijom multilateralnih pregovaračkih tijela, posebno Konferencije o razoružanju (CD). Dugoročni je prioritet EU-a u okviru Konferencije o razoružanju neposredno pokretanje pregovora u pogledu ugovora o zabrani proizvodnje fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave (FMCT). EU podupire početak takvih pregovora u skladu s dokumentom CD/1299 i mandatom koji je u njemu sadržan. EU poziva sve članove Konferencije o razoružanju da bez odgode započnu pregovore u vezi s FMCT-om i krenu s radom na drugim pitanjima na dnevnom redu. Na temelju Odluke Vijeća (EU) 2017/2284 (7) od 11. prosinca 2017. EU pruža financijsku potporu Uredu UN-a za poslove razoružanja (UNODA) kako bi se olakšalo sudjelovanje afričkih, azijskih, latinoameričkih i karipskih zemalja u savjetovanjima i drugim aktivnostima povezanima s FMCT-om. EU također potiče sve zemlje koje posjeduju nuklearno oružje da proglase i poštuju hitni moratorij na proizvodnju fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave ako to već nisu učinile. Država članica EU-a koja posjeduje nuklearno oružje proglasila je relevantni moratorij i uklonila takva postrojenja. |

| --- | --- |

43.

| 44. | Na sastanku država stranaka Konvencije održanom 3. – 6. prosinca 2019. u Ženevi EU je dao opću izjavu. Ponovno potvrđujući svoju snažnu potporu BTWC-u kao ključnom stupu međunarodnog sustava utemeljenog na pravilima, EU je podsjetio na svoje dugogodišnje napore za jačanje Konvencije, promicanje njezine univerzalizacije i poboljšanje njezine provedbe. Prioriteti EU-a u kontekstu BTWC-a uključuju jačanje nacionalne provedbe i usklađenosti, promicanje mjera za izgradnju povjerenja i transparentnosti, kao što su stručni pregledi, dobrovoljni posjeti i druge inicijative, olakšavanje suradnje u području znanosti i tehnologije, operacionalizaciju savjetodavnih odredaba članka V. i odredaba o pomoći, odgovoru i pripravnosti članka VII., promicanje univerzalnog poštovanja Konvencije, kao i rodnu ravnopravnost i osnaživanje žena kao važan međusektorski prioritet. Nadalje, EU je izrazio trajnu zabrinutost zbog kritičnog financijskog stanja Konvencije i pozvao sve države koje to još nisu učinile da bez odlaganja ispune svoje financijske obveze. U tom je kontekstu EU podsjetio da je svrha Fonda za obrtni kapital, kako je uspostavljen 2018., osigurati kratkoročnu financijsku likvidnost na početku kalendarske godine, a nipošto ne i subvencionirati neplaćanja ili dospjele neplaćene obveze. Od aktivnosti EU je istaknuo postignuća suradnje razvijene u okviru Odluke Vijeća EU-a o potpori BTWC-a i Inicijative centara izvrsnosti (CoE) EU-a za ublažavanje kemijskog, biološkog, radiološkog i nuklearnog (KBRN) rizika. Na popratnom događanju 4. prosinca 2019. koje je financirao EU predstavljene su aktivnosti povezane s biološkom zaštitom na Kavkazu u okviru Inicijative centara izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a. |

BALISTIČKI PROJEKTILI

Haški pravilnik postupanja

| 46. | Haški pravilnik postupanja protiv širenja balističkih projektila (HCoC) rezultat je napora međunarodne zajednice da uredi područje balističkih projektila kojima se mogu prenositi oružja za masovno uništenje. HCoC je jedini multilateralni instrument za transparentnost i izgradnju povjerenja u vezi sa širenjem balističkih projektila. Potpisivanjem HCoC-a članice se na dobrovoljnoj osnovi politički obvezuju da će najavljivati lansiranje i probne letove balističkih projektila i vozila za lansiranje svemirskih letjelica. Zemlje potpisnice također su se obvezale podnositi godišnju izjavu o politikama svoje zemlje u području balističkih projektila i vozila za lansiranje svemirskih letjelica. |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | EU snažno podupire Pravilnik od njegova začetka. Sve su ga države članice EU-a potpisale. Od potpisivanja i stupanja na snagu politički obvezujućeg HCoC-a u studenome 2002. u Haagu u Nizozemskoj, broj potpisnica povećao se sa 93 na 143. Razlog tomu je i diplomatsko djelovanje kojim se podupire univerzalizacija Pravilnika koju je EU proveo u nizu država koje nisu potpisnice Pravilnika. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | EU dosljedno promiče univerzalnost, potpunu provedbu i poboljšano funkcioniranje Pravilnika. Tijekom prethodnog desetljeća Vijeće EU-a donijelo je u okviru ZVSP-a niz odluka / zajedničkih akcija kojima podupire Haški pravilnik postupanja i općenito neširenje projektila. EU tim odlukama Vijeća financira aktivnosti informiranja, uključujući popratna događanja, istraživačke radove, sastanke stručnjaka i regionalne seminare za podizanje razine svijesti u vezi s HCoC-om. Te aktivnosti provodi zaklada Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique sa sjedištem u Parizu, obično uz sudjelovanje rotirajućeg predsjednika HCoC-a. |

REZOLUCIJA VIJEĆA SIGURNOSTI UJEDINJENIH NARODA 1540 I UBLAŽAVANJE RIZIKA U PODRUČJU KBRN-a

| 50. | Rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a 1540 (2004) ostaje središnji stup u međunarodnoj arhitekturi za neširenje oružja. Prvi je to međunarodni instrument koji se na cjelovit i sveobuhvatan način bavi oružjem za masovno uništenje, načinima njihove isporuke i povezanim materijalima. RVSUN-om 1540 (2004) utvrđuju se obvezujuće obveze za sve zemlje. Njima se nastoji spriječiti i odvratiti nedržavne aktere od dobivanja pristupa takvom oružju, sredstvima njegove isporuke i materijalima povezanima s oružjem i tim sredstvima. Rezolucijom, donesenom u skladu s poglavljem VII. Povelje Ujedinjenih naroda, od svih se zemalja traži da donesu nužno zakonodavstvo kojim se nedržavnim akterima zabranjuje nabava nuklearnog, kemijskog ili biološkog oružja i da uspostave prikladne nacionalne kontrole za povezane materijale kako bi se spriječilo nezakonito trgovanje njima. Središnja uloga, važnost i autoritet RVSUN-a 1540 ponovno su potvrđeni sveobuhvatnim postupkom preispitivanja iz 2016. kako je navedeno u RVSUN-u 2325. |

50.

| 51. | Kako bi se doprinijelo provedbi ishoda sveobuhvatnog preispitivanja iz 2016. te podržala potpuna provedba RVSUN-a 1540, Vijeće EU-a 11. svibnja 2017. donijelo je Odluku Vijeća (ZVSP) 2017/809 (19) o potpori provedbi Rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti Ujedinjenih naroda 1540 (2004) o suzbijanju širenja oružja za masovno uništenje i načinima njegove isporuke. Odlukom Vijeća obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 36 mjeseci, a provedbu izvršava Ured UN-a za poslove razoružanja (UNODA) u New Yorku koji je dio provedbe podugovorom prenio na OESS u Beču. Financiranjem EU-a podupire se pomaganje zemljama u utvrđivanju posebne tehničke pomoći koja im je potrebna, podizanju svijesti o relevantnim programima tehničke pomoći i poboljšanju suradnje s međunarodnim i regionalnim organizacijama radi podržavanja napora za izgradnju nacionalnih kapaciteta. |

51.

| 52. | Inicijativa centara izvrsnosti (CoE) EU-a za ublažavanje kemijskog, biološkog, radiološkog i nuklearnog rizika („Inicijativa”) globalni je program za izgradnju kapaciteta koji trenutačno okuplja 61 partnersku zemlju organiziranu oko osam regionalnih tajništava smještenih u sljedećim regijama: afričko-atlantskom pročelju, središnjoj Aziji, istočnoj i srednjoj Africi, zemljama Vijeća za suradnju u Zaljevu, Bliskom istoku, sjevernoj Africi i Sahelu, jugoistočnoj Aziji, jugoistočnoj i istočnoj Europi. |
| --- | --- |

52.

| 53. | Inicijativa centara izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a financira se u okviru Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru (IcSP), a cilj joj je ublažavanje rizika u vezi s kemijskim, biološkim, radiološkim i nuklearnim materijalima, jačanje pripravnosti partnerskih zemalja i poticanje kulture sigurnosti i upravljanja. Zemlje sudionice podupire se u nastojanjima da dobrovoljno i na temelju regionalnog pristupa koji se temelji na potražnji uspostave nacionalne i regionalne strukture za koordinaciju i upravljanje. U okviru tih platformi razvijaju se i jačaju nacionalne politike u području ublažavanja kemijskog, biološkog, radiološkog i nuklearnog rizika te se izgrađuju kapaciteti na temelju procjena posebnih potreba i nacionalnih akcijskih planova. Podupire ih se putem nekoliko projekata regionalne suradnje koji se financiraju u okviru Inicijative i otvoreni su za druge financijske instrumente. Od 2010. financirana su 82 regionalna projekta. Proračun za Inicijativu za desetogodišnje razdoblje s početkom od 2010. iznosi otprilike 250 milijuna EUR. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Mreža centara izvrsnosti sad je dobro razvijena i omogućila je EU-u provođenje simulacijskih i prekograničnih terenskih vježbi za osposobljavanje, među ostalim, u području civilne zaštite, odgovora na incidente, biološke zaštite i upravljanja otpadom u okviru projekata CoE-a s ciljem povećanja vidljivosti i konkretne procjene njihova učinka. Osim razvijanja regionalnih akcijskih planova u području KBRN-a započela je i međuregionalna suradnja. Nadalje, Inicijativa je postigla dostatnu zrelost za podržavanje daljnjih aktivnosti s ciljem rješavanja pitanja o upravljanju sigurnosti povezanih s kiberkriminalitetom, terorizmom, kritičnom infrastrukturom, krivotvorenim lijekovima, hibridnim prijetnjama i eksplozivima te za daljnji razvoj suradnje u području nuklearne forenzike, nadzora granica i kontrole izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom. U okviru mreže centara izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a Zajednički istraživački centar EU-a 2019. je u suradnji s Ministarstvom energetike SAD-a i Institutom za nuklearno istraživanje u Kijevu razvio aktivnosti obrazovanja i osposobljavanja u području nuklearne sigurnosti za sudionike iz Gruzije, Ukrajine, Azerbajdžana i Moldove kako bi se povećala nuklearna sigurnost u crnomorskoj regiji. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | Nastavljena je provedba akcijskog plana za poboljšanje pripravnosti s obzirom na rizike za kemijsku, biološku, radiološku i nuklearnu sigurnost koji je Komisija predstavila u listopadu 2017. kao dio šireg paketa mjera za borbu protiv terorizma. Trenutačnim akcijskim planom, koji se nadograđuje na postignuća Akcijskog plana EU-a u području KBRN-a za razdoblje 2010. – 2015., uveden je opsežan niz mjera za poboljšanje pripravnosti, otpornosti i koordinacije na razini EU-a. Njime se predlaže stvaranje arhitekture KBRN-a na razini EU-a koja je usmjerenija na sigurnost, naglašavajući potrebu za boljim iskorištavanjem postojećih resursa i objedinjavanjem postojećih stručnih znanja. Akcijskim planom također se poziva na jačanje pripravnosti i odgovora EU-a u području KBRN-a prekograničnom i međusektorskom obukom i vježbama. Naglašava se potreba za uključivanje graničnih i carinskih tijela i vojnih partnera kad god je to relevantno. Akcijskim planom naglašava se i važnost uske povezanosti unutarnjih i vanjskih aktivnosti u području KBRN-a povezanih sa sigurnošću, kao i suradnje sa specijaliziranim multilateralnim organizacijama poput IAEA-e, OPCW-a ili Interpola. Provedba akcijskog plana financijski se podržava putem Fonda za unutarnju sigurnost – policija. |

55.

| 56. | Akcijski plan u području KBRN-a dobio je znanstvenu i tehničku potporu niza istraživačkih projekata koje financira program Sigurno društvo u sklopu 7. okvirnog programa. Istraživanjem se obuhvaća cijeli ciklus upravljanja krizama, od sprečavanja do sanacije. Aktivnosti kojima se utvrđuju potrebe u području normizacije mogle bi dovesti do standardâ „europskih normi”. U okviru programa Obzor 2020. putem fokusiranih tema ojačat će se tekući rad u području istraživanja KBRN-a. |

SKUPINE ZA STRATEŠKO PROMIŠLJANJE

| 57. | Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2010/430/ZVSP (20) od 26. srpnja 2010. Konzorcij EU-a za neširenje oružja i razoružanje, koji je s djelovanjem započeo u siječnju 2011., aktivno podupire provedbu Strategije EU-a za sprečavanje širenja oružja za masovno uništenje. Vijeće je 26. veljače 2018. donijelo Odluku (ZVSP) 2018/299 (21) kojom se dodatno proširuje potpora EU-a aktivnostima Konzorcija u razdoblju 2018. – 2021. nastavno na dosadašnja postignuća i dodavanjem novih projekata. |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Aktivnosti Konzorcija povećale su vidljivost EU-a u odnosu na treće zemlje i civilno društvo te su znatno doprinijele oblikovanju politika EU-a u područjima neširenja oružja i razoružanja. Konzorcij služi kao platforma za neformalne kontakte među stručnjacima iz prakse i potiče dijalog među različitim dionicima. Njegove aktivnosti pridonijele su podizanju svijesti o izazovima koje predstavljaju oružje za masovno uništenje i konvencionalno oružje te istražile rješenja za suočavanje s tim izazovima. Temelji se na opsežnoj mreži od 90 skupina za strateško promišljanje i istraživačkih centara diljem Europe, uključujući članove iz svih država članica EU-a te iz partnerskih zemalja kao što su Švicarska i Ukrajina. Tijekom 2019. mreži se pridružilo 14 instituta. |

KONTROLE IZVOZA

| 61. | Radna skupina za izvoz konvencionalnog oružja (COARM) 2019. dovršila je reviziju Zajedničkog stajališta 2008/944/ZVSP (23) o kontroli izvoza oružja. Vijeće je donijelo odluku o izmjeni Zajedničkog stajališta Vijeća te revidirani vodič za korisnike. Donijelo je i zaključke o preispitivanju Zajedničkog stajališta. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | Odlukom Vijeća uzimaju se u obzir brojna događanja na razini Europske unije i međunarodnoj razini koja su dovela do stvaranja novih obveza i odgovornosti za države članice otkako je 2008. doneseno Zajedničko stajalište. Među tim događanjima osobito se ističe stupanje na snagu Ugovora o trgovini oružjem (UTO) 24. prosinca 2014. kojim se regulira međunarodna trgovina konvencionalnim oružjem. Sve su države članice EU-a države stranke UTO-a. Cilj UTO-a jest uspostava najviših mogućih zajedničkih međunarodnih standarda za reguliranje ili poboljšanje reguliranja međunarodne trgovine konvencionalnim oružjem te sprečavanje i iskorjenjivanje nezakonite trgovine konvencionalnim oružjem kao i sprečavanje njegova preusmjeravanja. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | U svojim zaključcima Vijeće podsjeća na svoju predanost jačanju kontrole izvoza vojne tehnologije i opreme te jačanju suradnje i promicanju konvergencije u području izvoza vojne tehnologije i opreme. To ostvaruje postavljanjem, održavanjem i provedbom visokih zajedničkih standarda za upravljanje prijenosima vojne tehnologije i opreme u svim državama članicama. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | EU je 2019. nastavio i svoje aktivnosti informiranja u cilju pružanja potpore trećim zemljama u uspostavi sustava kontrole izvoza oružja te promicanja univerzalizacije UTO-a. Na temelju Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2018/101 (24) od 22. siječnja 2018., koju je proveo njemački Savezni ured za gospodarstvo i kontrolu izvoza (BAFA), održan je niz regionalnih radionica, studijskih posjeta i događanja za pojedinačnu pomoć. Osim toga, na temelju Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2017/915 (25) BAFA i Expertise France proveli su daljnje regionalne aktivnosti informiranja, prilagođene nacionalne programe pomoći i ad hoc radionice za pojedinačnu pomoć, čime je podržana učinkovita provedba i univerzalizacija Ugovora o trgovini oružjem. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Sastanci u okviru političkog dijaloga o pitanjima kontrole izvoza oružja održani su 2018. i 2019. s Norveškom, Kanadom, Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i Ukrajinom. Zahvaljujući tim političkim dijalozima osiguran je forum za uspješne rasprave o pitanjima od zajedničkog interesa, kao što su izvozne politike u pogledu određenih odredišta, pitanja usklađenosti i kontrole te procesi povezani s Ugovorom o trgovini oružjem. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | EU je 2019. nastavio redovito ažuriranje svojih uredaba kako bi se uzela u obzir kretanja u području multilateralnih režima kontrole izvoza. Europska komisija stoga je 17. listopada 2019. donijela Delegiranu uredbu (EU) 2019/2199 (26) kojom se ažurira popis EU-a za kontrolu u skladu s odlukama donesenim 2018. u okviru multilateralnih režima kontrole izvoza i uvela nove kontrole u pogledu, primjerice, platformi za lansiranje u zrak, pojačala s „mikrovalnim monolitnim integriranim sklopovima” (MMIC), diskretnih mikrovalnih tranzistora i ronilica bez posade. |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | Koordinacijska skupina za robu s dvojnom namjenom nastavila je podupirati učinkovitu i usklađenu provedbu kontrola izvoza u EU-u. U „elektronički sustav s dvojnom namjenom” dodane su nove funkcionalnosti čime su se poboljšale razmjena informacija i tehnička razmjena unutar EU-a. EU je dovršio postupak utvrđivanja smjernica o usklađenosti industrije i donio Preporuku Komisije (EU) 2019/1318 (27) od 30. srpnja 2019. EU je također unaprijedio svoj rad na razvoju „platforme za elektroničko izdavanje dozvola” kojom će se nadležna tijela koristiti na dobrovoljnoj osnovi. Godišnje izvješće (28) objavljeno je kako bi se osigurala transparentnost u pogledu kontrole izvoza i aktivnosti izdavanja dozvola, a na Forumu za kontrolu izvoza održanome 13. prosinca 2019. okupili su se dionici iz država članica, industrije i civilnog društva (29). |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Nastavilo se preispitivanje politike EU-a za kontrolu izvoza. Vijeće i Europski parlament aktivno su raspravljali o prijedlogu Komisije za modernizaciju kontrole izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom. Vijeće je u lipnju 2019.donijelo mandat za pregovore s Europskim parlamentom, a pregovori suzakonodavaca u okviru trijaloga započeli su u jesen. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Stajališta i izjave EU-a usklađeni su prema potrebi tijekom pripreme za relevantne sastanke režimâ kontrole izvoza: plenarnu sjednicu Skupine nuklearnih dobavljača u Nur-Sultanu (20. – 21. lipnja 2019.) i plenarnu sjednicu Australske skupine u Parizu (3. – 7. lipnja 2019.) i Režimu kontrole raketne tehnologije u Aucklandu (7. – 11. listopada 2019.). |
| --- | --- |

69.

| 70. | Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCR) neslužbeno je i dobrovoljno udruženje zemalja koje dijele ciljeve neširenja sustava bespilotne isporuke koji mogu isporučiti oružje za masovno uništenje i koje nastoje koordinirati nacionalne napore za izdavanje dozvola za izvoz s ciljem sprečavanja njegova širenja. Države sudionice MTCR-a obvezale su se na poštovanje smjernica zajedničke izvozne politike (Smjernice MTCR-a) koje se primjenjuju na integralni zajednički popis kontroliranih proizvoda (Prilog MTCR-u o opremi, softveru i tehnologiji). Partneri MTCR-a redovito razmjenjuju informacije o relevantnim nacionalnim pitanjima izdavanja dozvola za izvoz. Smjernice za MTCR i kontrolni popisi čine međunarodno referentno mjerilo za najbolje prakse za kontrolu izvoza robe i tehnologije povezane s raketama. |
| --- | --- |

70.

| 71. | Važno pitanje za EU u kontekstu MTCR-a i dalje je blokirano pristupanje Hrvatske, Cipra, Estonije, Hrvatske, Latvije, Litve, Malte, Rumunjske, Slovačke i Slovenije tom režimu. Kontinuitet i predvidljivost predsjedanja režimima kontrole izvoza kao što je MTCR ključni su za funkcioniranje i vjerodostojnost tih režima. U listopadu 2019.države članice EU-a koje su članice MTCR-a podnijele su neslužbeni dokument „O pitanjima predsjedanja” radi razmatranja plenarnog sastanka na kojem bi se istražile mogućnosti poticanja i podupiranja održivog predsjedanja režimom. EU će i dalje sudjelovati u raspravama s članovima o različitim mogućnostima. U kontekstu režima EU oduvijek podupire donošenje snažnih javnih izjava u pogledu MTCR-a kojima se razmatraju međunarodne bojazni povezane s lansiranjem balističkih projektila i znatnim razvojem raketne tehnologije u Iranu i DNRK-u. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | U šest je regija nastavljena provedba programa EU-a za kontrolu izvoza na razini ravnopravnih partnera radi jačanja učinkovitosti sustavâ za kontrolu izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom i povezanih materijala, opreme i tehnologija. Program je 2019. proširen kako bi se omogućila suradnja s Irakom te trenutačno obuhvaća ukupno 37 zemalja, uključujući ciljane inicijative za kontrolu izvoza s ukrajinskim Centrom za znanost i tehnologiju i Međunarodnim centrom za znanost i tehnologiju u Kazahstanu koji obuhvaćaju 13 zemalja. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Nastavila se intenzivna koordinacija programa EU-a za kontrolu izvoza na razini ravnopravnih partnera s programom Ministarstva vanjskih poslova SAD-a za kontrolu izvoza i povezanu sigurnost granica. Organizirani su zajednički seminari EU-a i SAD-a radi razmjene metodologija za procjenu prijetnji, utvrđivanja zajedničkih pokazatelja učinka i koordiniranja pomoći na terenu. U kolovozu 2019. EU je u Finskoj organizirao godišnje izdanje ljetnog sveučilišta EU-a na razini ravnopravnih partnera o strateškim kontrolama trgovine za partnerske zemlje programa EU-a za kontrolu izvoza na razini ravnopravnih partnera. Internetski portal EU-a na razini ravnopravnih partnera premješten je u službeno mrežno okruženje Europske unije (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en), nadogradnja izgleda i sadržaja dovršit će se 2020. Nastavit će služiti kao platforma za sve EU-ove programe informiranja u pogledu kontrole izvoza vojne robe i robe s dvojnom namjenom u cilju prilagođavanja razmjene informacija s partnerskim zemljama EU-a. Program se financira u okviru Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru. |

SVEMIR

| 74. | EU i njegove države članice nastavili su promicati očuvanje sigurnog, zaštićenog i održivog svemirskog okruženja te miroljubivu upotrebu svemira na pravednoj i uzajamno prihvatljivoj osnovi. Nastavili smo isticati važnost mjera transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja te potrebe za promicanjem odgovornog ponašanja u svemiru u okviru Ujedinjenih naroda. EU je u tom pogledu dao izjave koje se odnose na svemir na Općoj skupštini UN-a, Konferenciji UN-a o razoružanju, Komisiji UN-a za razoružanje i Odboru UN-a za miroljubivo korištenje svemirom (COPUOS). |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | EU i njegove države članice i dalje su snažno predani sprečavanju utrke u naoružanju u svemiru, što je ključno za jačanje međunarodne sigurnosti i stabilnosti te za očuvanje dugoročne upotrebe svemirskog okruženja u miroljubive svrhe. Nastavili smo izražavati zabrinutost zbog razvoja svih protusatelitskih oružja i sposobnosti, uključujući oružje koje je smješteno na Zemlji te naglašavati važnost brzog rješavanja takvog razvoja događaja u okviru međunarodnih nastojanja za sprečavanje utrke u naoružanju u svemiru. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | EU i njegove države članice snažno su podržali donošenje preambule i 21 smjernice za dugoročnu održivost aktivnosti u svemiru koje je donio Odbor za miroljubivo korištenje svemirom i koje je 2019. rezolucijom podržala Opća skupština UN-a (30). Smjernice su važan dodatak mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja u svemiru (31). |

Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD. | Wojskowy Instytut Higieny i Epidemiologii | 3 914 034 | 12.2013-12.2016 |

Strengthening Capacities in CBRN Response and in Chemical and Medical Emergency

The CBRN emergency response needs to be identified and prioritised per country. Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD.
