Jaarlijks voortgangsverslag betreffende de uitvoering van de strategie van de Europese Unie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens (2019)

(2020/C 341/01)

INLEIDING

| 1. | Dit voortgangsverslag betreffende de uitvoering van de door de Europese Raad in december 2003 aangenomen EU-strategie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens (MVW) (doc. 15708/03) heeft betrekking op de activiteiten in 2019. In het verslag wordt geen volledigheid nagestreefd en ligt de nadruk op de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen. Alle activiteiten werden ondernomen binnen het bredere verband van het EU-beleid inzake veiligheid en conflictpreventie. |

NUCLEAIRE KWESTIES

| 5. | De EU blijft volledig gecommitteerd aan het bevorderen van de universalisering en onverkorte, volledige en effectieve uitvoering van het Verdrag inzake de niet-verspreiding van kernwapens (NPV), aan de inwerkingtreding van het Alomvattend Kernstopverdrag (CTBT) en aan de opening en spoedige afronding van onderhandelingen in het kader van de Ontwapeningsconferentie over een verdrag over het verbod op de productie van splijtbare materialen voor kernwapens of andere nucleaire explosiemiddelen. Ook de totstandbrenging van een zone in het Midden-Oosten die vrij is van massavernietigingswapens en de overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor, is en blijft een EU-prioriteit. De Raad heeft in 2019 Besluit (GBVB) 2019/938 (1) vastgesteld waarbij het Unidir 2 856 278 EUR wordt toegekend ter ondersteuning van een proces van vertrouwenwekkende maatregelen dat moet leiden tot de instelling van genoemde zone in het Midden-Oosten, vrij van kernwapens en alle andere massavernietigingswapens. |

Verdrag inzake de niet-verspreiding van kernwapens en de Internationale Organisatie voor Atoomenergie

| 6. | De toetsingscyclus van het NPV werd voortgezet in New York, waar van 27 april tot en met 10 mei 2019 de derde zitting van de commissie ter voorbereiding van de in 2020 te houden toetsingsconferentie van de partijen bij het NPV plaatsvond. De EU legde vier verklaringen af: een tijdens de algemene besprekingen en drie tijdens de besprekingen inzake respectievelijk nucleaire ontwapening, niet-verspreiding en vreedzaam gebruik; er werd ook een specifieke verklaring afgelegd ter ondersteuning van de totstandbrenging van een MVW-vrije zone in het Midden-Oosten. De EU organiseerde er ook een nevenevenement en diende een werkdocument in met een beoordeling van het verdrag vijftig jaar na aanneming. Alle EU-lidstaten steunden de verklaring over het Noord-Koreaanse nucleaire probleem. De EU heeft bijgedragen aan alle relevante debatten, onder meer aan het thematische debat over kernwapens tijdens de 74e zitting van de Eerste Commissie van de Algemene Vergadering van de VN over ontwapening en internationale veiligheid. |

| 7. | Daarnaast heeft de Raad op 15 april 2019 het ongeziene Besluit (GBVB) 2019/615 (2) genomen het VN-Bureau voor ontwapeningszaken financiële steun te verlenen voor het organiseren van thematische en regionale raadplegingen ter voorbereiding van de toetsingsconferentie van de partijen bij het NPV van 2020. De Raad beoogde met dit besluit in de allereerste plaats te helpen de toetsingsconferentie tot een succesvol einde te brengen en bij te dragen aan de ontwikkeling van een reeks realistische en haalbare maatregelen en aanbevelingen waarvoor consensus kan worden gewonnen. Het VN-Bureau voor ontwapeningszaken heeft in 2019, voortvloeiend uit het Raadsbesluit, twee regionale seminars gehouden, te weten in Addis Abeba op 29 en 30 augustus en in Bangkok op 3 en 4 december, alsmede een thematisch seminar over het vredelievend gebruik van kernenergie op 20 en 21 november in Wenen. De regionale bijeenkomsten hadden betrekking op alle drie de NPV-pijlers, bezien door de bril van regionale prioriteiten en zorgpunten. Alle activiteiten hebben tot doel de vele voordelen van het NPV en de noodzaak deze voordelen te behouden, voor het voetlicht te brengen. |

| 9. | Via Besluit (GBVB) 2016/2383 van de Raad (3) draagt de EU bij aan de uitvoering van het plan voor nucleaire beveiliging van de IAEA voor de periode 2018-2021. De EU is financiering blijven verstrekken voor IAEA-activiteiten gericht op: de universalisering van internationale instrumenten op het gebied van non-proliferatie en nucleaire beveiliging, het ondersteunen van staten bij de ontwikkeling van eigen technische, wetenschappelijke en personele capaciteit voor nucleaire beveiliging, het tot stand brengen van meer capaciteit tot preventie van, opsporing van en reactie op criminele of opzettelijke ongeoorloofde daden waarbij kernmateriaal of ander radioactief materiaal is betrokken dat aan controle op naleving van de regelgeving ontsnapt, en tot het daartegen beschermen van mensen, eigendommen, het milieu en de samenleving, het verbeteren van de opsporing en bestrijding van illegale handel in kernmateriaal en ander radioactief materiaal, het bevorderen van computerbeveiliging op nucleair gebied, het aanscherpen van de beveiliging van radioactieve bronnen, en deze veilig en beveiligd opslaan in de landen die steun nodig hebben, daaronder begrepen het terugbrengen naar het land van oorsprong of de leverancier, het aanscherpen van de fysieke bescherming van kernmateriaal en ander radioactief materiaal. |

11.

| 12. | In de marge van de vijfde vergadering van hoge ambtenaren van de EU en de IAEA (15 februari 2017) hebben het JRC en de IAEA een “Praktische regeling voor samenwerking op het gebied van toepassingen in de kernwetenschap” ondertekend. Die regeling is gericht op het ontwikkelen van gezamenlijke activiteiten en moet dubbel werk voorkomen. Een van de activiteiten uit die praktische regeling is de monitoring van radioactiviteit in het milieu, die in heel Europa en op een aantal andere locaties in de wereld gemeten wordt in de vorm van gemiddelde en maximale gammadosistempo's voor de laatste 24 uur. Die metingen zijn afkomstig van ongeveer 5 500 meetstations die in 39 landen worden beheerd door de bevoegde nationale autoriteiten, die de recentste radiologische waarden aan het EU-platform voor de uitwisseling van radiologische gegevens (EURDEP) melden. De kennisgeving van een ongeval of noodsituatie met radioactieve stoffen geschiedt, na overleg met de bevoegde nationale autoriteiten, via vroegtijdige-kennisgevingsnetwerken, zoals Ecurie of Emercon, die respectievelijk door de Europese Commissie en de IAEA worden beheerd. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Het gezamenlijk alomvattend actieplan (JCPOA) is een cruciaal onderdeel van de wereldwijde nucleaire non-proliferatiearchitectuur en is tot stand gekomen via multilaterale diplomatie. De onverminderde, volledige en effectieve uitvoering van het actieplan is cruciaal voor de Europese veiligheid. De EU blijft bijdragen aan de uitvoering van het JCPOA via coördinatie van de bij het JCPOA ingestelde gezamenlijke commissie en deskundigenwerkgroepen. Ook gaat de EU verder met de ondersteuning van de langetermijnmissie van de IAEA inzake verificatie en monitoring van de toezeggingen van Iran op nucleair gebied. Sinds 2016 is de EU bezig met de uitvoering van bijlage III bij het JCPOA, met name via projecten ter verbetering van de nucleaire veiligheid. Er werd reeds een bedrag van 15 miljoen EUR uitgetrokken voor civiel-nucleaire samenwerking met Iran en voor drie projecten waarvoor contracten zijn gesloten ter ondersteuning van zowel de Iraanse nucleaire regelgevende autoriteit als de exploitant van de kerncentrale in Bushehr. In 2018 werd een nieuw project goedgekeurd met een budget van 5 miljoen EUR voor de levering van laboratoriumuitrusting aan het nucleair veiligheidscentrum van de regelgevende autoriteit. Het project wordt naar verwachting in 2020 aanbesteed. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Civiel-nucleaire samenwerking met Iran is een belangrijke pijler van het JCPOA en de hoeksteen van de EU-betrekkingen met Iran. Die vorm van samenwerking helpt een beter inzicht te krijgen in de civiel-nucleaire behoeften van Iran en geleidelijk vertrouwen in de vreedzame aard van het Iraanse nucleaire programma op te bouwen. De samenwerking EU-Iran in 2019 omvatte regelmatige besprekingen op hoog niveau over beleidskwesties, met bijzondere nadruk op nucleaire governance, alsmede een gezamenlijke workshop over civiel-nucleaire aansprakelijkheid en verzekering, projecten ter ondersteuning van de inspanningen van de Iraanse nucleaire regelgevende autoriteit om de wet- en regelgeving af te stemmen op internationale normen, alsmede de oprichting van het nucleair veiligheidscentrum dat eerder in het kader van een door de EU gefinancierd project ontworpen was, en voorts deelname van Iraanse studenten aan de zomercursus ontmanteling en aan een workshop over metrologie voor afvalkarakterisering en -klaring in het Gemeenschappelijk Centrum voor onderzoek van de EU, een gezamenlijke workshop EU-Iran over verslaglegging aan het Gezamenlijk Verdrag inzake bestraalde splijtstof en radioactief afval, een gezamenlijke workshop EU-Iran over paraatheid voor en respons op radiologische en nucleaire noodsituaties, en tot slot projecten ter ondersteuning van de modernisering van de onderzoeksreactor van Arak (Khondab) en de omvorming van de Fordow-installatie in een centrum voor kernenergie, fysica en technologie. Iran bleef de grootste begunstigde van EU-steun op het gebied van nucleaire veiligheid. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | De integralewaarborgovereenkomsten en de aanvullende protocollen vormen samen de huidige verificatienorm en de EU blijft pleiten voor universele toetreding ertoe. De nauwe samenwerking tussen Euratom en de IAEA maakt effectieve en efficiënte waarborgen mogelijk. De EU verleent actief steun aan het IAEA-waarborgensysteem via het veiligheidscontrolesteunprogramma van de Europese Commissie, het instrument voor samenwerking op het gebied van nucleaire veiligheid en steunprogramma's van lidstaten. Het veiligheidscontrolesteunprogramma versterkt de nucleaireveiligheidscontrolecapaciteit van de IAEA voor het toezicht op de uitvoering van het JCPOA, onder meer via opleidingen aan veiligheidsinspecteurs van de IAEA over aanvullende toegang en over de werking van de Compucea (gecombineerde procedure voor de analyse van uraniumconcentratie en -verrijking) ter verificatie van de verrijkingsgraad van UF6. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | De Europese Commissie blijft het Europees verbond voor veiligheidscontrole-onderzoek en ontwikkeling (ESARDA) besturen en actief ondersteunen. Het verbond heeft in 2019 zijn 50-jarig bestaan gevierd met een open symposium van 250 deelnemers uit de hele wereld die er spraken over vraagstukken in verband met nucleaire veiligheidscontroles en non-proliferatie, met een voornamelijk wetenschappelijke en technische invalshoek. Esarda blijft ook internationaal actief via memoranda van overeenstemming met de Afrikaanse Commissie voor Kernenergie en het Aziatisch-Pacifisch Veiligheidscontrolenetwerk, in nauwe samenwerking met het Institute for Nuclear Materials Management. De werkgroepen van het Esarda ontwikkelen, testen en valideren innovatieve veiligheidscontroles en non-proliferatie-aanpakken, hetgeen rechtstreeks ten goede komt aan het directoraat Veiligheidscontrole van DG ENER en het departement Veiligheidscontrole van de IAEA. De resultaten van onderzoek en ontwikkeling, en de initiatieven op het gebied van onderwijs en opleiding, versterken de Europese en internationale capaciteit op het gebied van nucleaire veiligheidscontroles en strategisch handelstoezicht, en hebben ook spin-offeffecten naar initiatieven op het gebied van nucleaire beveiliging en nucleaire ontwapening. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | De EU en haar lidstaten hechten het grootste belang aan de wereldwijde implementatie en voortdurende verbetering van de nucleaire veiligheid. De EU heeft de doelstellingen van de Verklaring van Wenen inzake nucleaire veiligheid rechtskracht verleend door middel van de gewijzigde richtlijn inzake nucleaire veiligheid, die in 2017 in werking is getreden. Een belangrijk element van de gewijzigde richtlijn is de invoering van een veiligheidsdoelstelling ter voorkoming van ongevallen en grote radioactieve lozingen voor alle exploitanten. De gewijzigde richtlijn zorgde ook voor de opneming van thematische collegiale toetsingen in de Euratom-wetgeving. Een eerste Europese thematische collegiale toetsing werd reeds met succes uitgevoerd. Alle EU-lidstaten hebben de nieuwe voorschriften in nationaal recht omgezet. |

17.

| 18. | Ter stimulering van het vreedzaam gebruik van kernenergie heeft de EU voor de periode 2014-2020 een bedrag van 325 miljoen EUR toegewezen om nucleaire veiligheid, stralingsbescherming en de toepassing van efficiënte en effectieve waarborgen in derde landen te bevorderen. De Europese Commissie ondersteunt tezamen met de IAEA en andere partners de uitvoering van het strategisch masterplan voor milieusanering in Centraal-Azië, dat gefinancierd zal worden uit de door de Europese Bank voor Wederopbouw en Ontwikkeling (EBWO) beheerde specifieke milieusaneringsrekening (ERA — Environmental Remediation Account). Als belangrijkste donor blijft de EU in gesprek met de begunstigde landen (Kirgizië, Tadzjikistan en Oezbekistan) ter bevordering van de betrokkenheid en voor het opstarten van concrete herstel- en saneringsprojecten. |

18.

| 19. | In juli 2019 is de nieuwe veilige insluiting voor de vernietigde reactor 4 van de kerncentrale van Tsjernobyl tijdens een ceremonie met president Volodymyr Zelensky officieel overgedragen aan Oekraïne, waarmee de langdurige door de G7 geïnitieerde internationale inspanningen om de locatie weer ecologisch veilig te maken, zijn voltooid. De EU is na de EBWO de grootste donor van het Fonds inkapseling Tsjernobyl. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | De EU en haar lidstaten blijven het IAEA-programma voor technische samenwerking ferm ondersteunen, onder meer via aanzienlijke bijdragen aan het fonds voor technische samenwerking (Technical Cooperation Fund) en het initiatief inzake vreedzaam gebruik (Peaceful Uses Initiative). De EU en haar lidstaten zijn een van de grootste contribuanten aan het Programma voor technische samenwerking, een belangrijk instrument voor de verwezenlijking van een veilig, beveiligd en vreedzaam gebruik van kerntechnologie en de doelstellingen van de Agenda 2030 voor duurzame ontwikkeling. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | De EU en de IAEA houden een jaarlijkse vergadering van hoge ambtenaren om hun verstrekkende samenwerking te evalueren en te plannen. De meest recente vergadering, op 12 februari 2019 in Luxemburg, werd de Europese Commissie georganiseerd. De besprekingen gingen voornamelijk over versterking van de samenwerking op het gebied van nucleaire veiligheid, beveiliging, veiligheidscontroles, nucleair onderzoek, innovatie en opleiding. |

21.

Alomvattend Kernstopverdrag

| 22. | De inwerkingtreding en universalisering van het Alomvattend Kernstopverdrag (CTBT) zijn belangrijke doelstellingen van de EU-strategie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens. Alle EU-lidstaten hebben blijk gegeven van hun gehechtheid aan het CTBT door het te ratificeren en de basisverplichtingen ervan toe te passen. Het CTBT is een belangrijke vertrouwens- en veiligheidsbevorderende maatregel. In 2019 heeft de EU diplomatieke initiatieven ontplooid richting alle resterende bijlage II- en niet-bijlage II-landen. Doel daarvan was toezeggingen te verkrijgen voor ratificatie van het CTBT. Bevordering van de inwerkingtreding van het CTBT was een van de acties van het initiatief van de secretaris-generaal van de VN “Securing our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament” (Onze gemeenschappelijke toekomst veiligstellen: een agenda voor ontwapening) waar de EU zich achter heeft geschaard. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | De EU zet zich consistent in voor de voordelen van het Verdrag en de bijdrage ervan aan vrede, veiligheid, ontwapening en non-proliferatie, ook wat civiele toepassingen betreft. De EU is financiële steun blijven verlenen aan de Voorbereidende Commissie van de Organisatie van het CTBT (CTBTO) overeenkomstig Besluit (GBVB) 2018/298 van de Raad (5) betreffende de ondersteuning door de Unie van de activiteiten van de Voorbereidende Commissie van de CTBTO ter versterking van haar toezichts- en verificatiecapaciteit. De EU en haar lidstaten hebben daarnaast bijgedragen aan het handhaven en versterken van het verificatiestelsel van het CTBT door middel van technische ondersteuning en advies in CTBTO-werkgroep B en andere workshops en seminars. De EU heeft actief deelgenomen aan de vergaderingen van de werkgroepen A en B van de Voorbereidende Commissie van de CTBTO. |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | Op uitnodiging van de uitvoerend secretaris van de CTBTO heeft de HV/VV van de EU deelgenomen aan de elfde conferentie over het faciliteren van de inwerkingtreding van het CTBT, die op 25 september 2019 plaatsvond in het hoofdkwartier van de Verenigde Naties in New York en heeft zij daar een overeengekomen EU-verklaring afgelegd. Tijdens de conferentie over wetenschap en technologie van het CTBT van 25 juni dat jaar organiseerde de EU-delegatie in Wenen een evenement over samenwerking tussen de EU en de CTBTO. |

Initiatieven op het gebied van nucleaire beveiliging

| 25. | De EU bleef het Internationaal Verdrag ter bestrijding van daden van nucleair terrorisme (Icsant) en de Wijziging van het Verdrag inzake de fysieke beveiliging van kernmateriaal (ACPPNM) bevorderen als essentiële elementen van de mondiale architectuur voor nucleaire beveiliging en terrorismebestrijding. Het VN-Bureau voor drugs- en misdaadbestrijding en het VN-Bureau voor terrorismebestrijding begonnen met de tenuitvoerlegging van Besluit (GBVB) 2018/1939 van de Raad (6) betreffende de ondersteuning door de Unie van de universalisering en doeltreffende uitvoering van het Icsant. De doelstellingen van het besluit van de Raad zijn vergroting van het aantal partijen bij het Icsant, bewustmaking onder nationale beleidsmakers en besluitvormers, en capaciteitsopbouw ter verbetering van de nationale wetgeving en versterking van de capaciteit van nationale belanghebbenden, ook strafrechtelijk personeel, voor het onderzoeken, vervolgen en berechten van zaken van nucleair terrorisme. De uitvoering van het besluit van de Raad begon met een openingsevenement in april 2019 in New York en in mei 2019 in Wenen. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | De EU bleef steun verlenen aan het wereldwijde initiatief ter bestrijding van nucleair terrorisme (GICNT) en aan zijn missie om de mondiale capaciteit voor het voorkomen, opsporen en bestrijden van nucleair terrorisme te vergroten. De EU en haar lidstaten namen deel aan de elfde plenaire vergadering van het GICNT, die op 6 en 7 juni 2019 in Buenos Aires plaatsvond. De volgende landen sloten zich aan bij de overeengekomen EU-verklaring: Turkije, Noord-Macedonië, Montenegro, Servië en Albanië, het land van het stabilisatie- en associatieproces en mogelijke kandidaat-lidstaat Bosnië en Herzegovina, en de EVA-landen IJsland en Noorwegen, die lid zijn van de Europese Economische Ruimte, alsmede Oekraïne, de Republiek Moldavië, Armenië en Georgië. |
| --- | --- |

| 27. | De EU en haar lidstaten zijn actief betrokken bij de werkzaamheden van het GICNT, en wel op alle gebieden, te weten: nucleaire detectie, nucleair forensisch onderzoek en nucleaire respons en mitigatie. Het Gemeenschappelijk Centrum voor onderzoek van de Europese Commissie (JRC) organiseerde van 12 tot en met 14 februari 2019 de “Cunning Karl: Nuclear Detection Reachback Support Workshop” in de Duitse stad Karlsruhe, onder toezicht van de werkgroep nucleaire detectie van het GICNT. Deze workshop, die voortbouwde op de resultaten van de “Magic Maggiore Technical Reachback Workshop” van 2017, was gericht op het in kaart brengen van de kerncapaciteiten die te pas komen aan technische reachback ter ondersteuning van detectieoperaties, en ging na wat de uitdagingen en beste praktijken zijn om reachbackondersteuning in afgelegen gebieden te verlenen. Op 24 en 25 februari 2019 was Finland gastland van de Nuclear Forensics Working Group (NFWG) Experts Meeting, waar het werkplan van de NFWG voor 2019-2021 werd besproken. De EU droeg ook bij aan de workshop Nuclear Detection at Blue and Green Borders en de simulatie-oefening, die in december 2019 werd georganiseerd door het Koninkrijk Marokko. |

| 28. | Het opleidingscentrum voor nucleaire beveiliging van de EU, bedoeld voor opsporing en bestrijding van illegale handelingen met nucleair en ander radioactief materiaal (Eusectra), is sinds 2013 volledig operationeel en staat ten dienste van de lidstaten van de Europese Unie en partnerlanden, waaronder verscheidene GICNT-leden. Het centrum wordt gerund door het JRC in de vestigingen in Karlsruhe (Duitsland) en Ispra (Italië), in nauwe samenwerking met andere internationale initiatieven van de Internationale Organisatie voor Atoomenergie en verscheidene GICNT-partnerlanden. Het opleidingscentrum voor nucleaire beveiliging van de EU wordt ook gebruikt voor praktische oefeningen, voornamelijk met betrekking tot de bestrijding van nucleaire smokkel. Eusectra pakt opleidingsbehoeften van EU-lidstaten en -partners actief aan. Zo werden op het gebied van douane en rechtshandhaving reeds zeer gewaardeerde gecoördineerde opleidingen verstrekt aan afgevaardigden van de lidstaten, of staan ze gepland voor 2019-2021 (in rechtstreekse samenwerking met DG HOME en DG TAXUD van de Europese Commissie). Daarnaast geeft Eusectra op verzoek van de lidstaten een beoordeling van de prestaties van apparatuur. In 2019 werden 14 opleidingen van één week georganiseerd en twee extra workshops met deskundigen uit de EU-lidstaten. |

| 29. | De Europese Commissie en de lidstaten van de EU zetten hun nucleaire forensische activiteiten inzake de basiskarakterisering van onderschept nucleair materiaal voort, met behulp van geavanceerd nucleair forensisch onderzoek van de JRC-vestiging in Karlsruhe. In 2019 werden stalen van drie incidenten in twee EU-lidstaten geanalyseerd. In totaal is nucleair materiaal dat werd ontdekt en in beslag genomen bij meer dan vijftig incidenten, onderzocht. Dit heeft de bevoegde autoriteiten in de EU-lidstaten en daarbuiten geholpen in hun activiteiten. |

Initiatieven in verband met nucleaire verificatie

| 30. | De EU en haar lidstaten steunden de in 2019 aangenomen AVVN-resolutie inzake de verificatie van nucleaire ontwapening, waarin werd opgeroepen tot de oprichting van een tweede groep van regeringsdeskundigen die zich zouden moeten blijven beraden op de rol van verificatie bij de bevordering van nucleaire ontwapening. De EU steunt het werk van bredere partnerschappen en op samenwerking gebaseerde verificatieregelingen, en heeft deelgenomen aan de werkzaamheden van het internationaal partnerschap voor de verificatie van nucleaire ontwapening (IPNDV) sinds de oprichting hiervan in 2015. De actieve betrokkenheid van de EU werd voortgezet tijdens fase II van het IPNDV met de EU (de EDEO en het Gemeenschappelijk Centrum voor onderzoek van de Europese Commissie), en de EU nam deel aan de vergaderingen van de werkgroepen in Helsinki van 4 tot en met 6 maart 2019 en in Den Haag van 19 tot en met 21 juni, alsook aan de plenaire vergadering in Ottawa van 2 tot en met 6 december. De inhoudelijke ondersteuning van de VN-groep van regeringsdeskundigen inzake de verificatie van nucleaire ontwapening en de in 2020 te houden NPV-toetsingsconferentie worden gedefinieerd als voornaamste doelstellingen. De EU schaarde zich ook achter het actiepunt over de verificatie van nucleaire ontwapening in het non-paper van de secretaris-generaal van de VN getiteld “Securing Our Common Future: An Agenda for Disarmament”. |

Regionale kwesties

| 31. | De EU en haar lidstaten bleven er bij de Democratische Volksrepubliek Korea (DVK) op aandringen om op volledige, verifieerbare en onomkeerbare wijze afstand te doen van haar programma's voor massavernietigingswapens en ballistische raketten. Dit kwam tot uiting in alle verklaringen die de EU daarover heeft afgelegd. De EU bleef bij het standpunt dat de herhaalde lanceringen van ballistische raketten door de DVK, die in strijd zijn met meerdere resoluties van de VN-Veiligheidsraad, een ernstige bedreiging vormen voor de regionale en internationale vrede en veiligheid, en dat ze de internationale inspanningen voor duurzame vrede en veiligheid op het Koreaanse schiereiland ondermijnen. De EU riep de DVK op onmiddellijk een einde te maken aan alle lanceringen, zinvolle onderhandelingen aan te knopen en concrete en geloofwaardige stappen te zetten om vertrouwen op te bouwen, en op volledige, verifieerbare en onomkeerbare wijze afstand te doen van al haar programma's voor kernwapens en ballistische raketten. De EU bleef er bij de DVK op aandringen alle relevante resoluties van de VN-Veiligheidsraad en haar andere internationale verplichtingen en beloftes onverkort na te leven, het CTBT onverwijld te ondertekenen en te ratificeren, en de controleverplichtingen in het kader van het NPV weer te gaan naleven. De EU zette alle resoluties van de Veiligheidsraad snel om in EU-wetgeving, en stelde strenge autonome sancties vast die de VN-sancties aanvullen en versterken. De woordvoerder van de EDEO legde op 10 augustus verklaringen af nadat twee ballistische korteafstandsraketten waren afgevuurd, en op 2 oktober nadat een naar verluidt ballistische raket op zee was gelanceerd. |

De Ontwapeningsconferentie (OC)/het Verdrag over het verbod op de vervaardiging van splijtbare materialen voor kernwapens of andere nucleaire explosiemiddelen

| 32. | De EU blijft verenigd streven naar verifieerbare verdragsmatige nucleaire ontwapening en wapenbeheersing, en benadrukt dat er hernieuwde multilaterale inspanningen nodig zijn en dat er een nieuw elan moet worden gegeven aan multilaterale onderhandelingsorganen, met name de Ontwapeningsconferentie (OC). De EU geeft al lang voorrang aan de onmiddellijke start van de onderhandelingen, in het kader van de ontwapeningsconferentie, over een verdrag over het verbod op de vervaardiging van splijtbare materialen voor kernwapens of andere nucleaire explosiemiddelen (FMCT). De EU steunt het starten van dergelijke onderhandelingen op basis van document CD/1299 en het daarin vervatte mandaat. De EU roept alle OC-lidstaten op onverwijld onderhandelingen over het FMCT te beginnen en een begin te maken met de bespreking van de andere agendapunten. Met Besluit (EU) 2017/2284 van de Raad (7) van 11 december 2017 verleent de EU het VN-Bureau voor ontwapeningszaken (Unoda) aanzienlijke financiële steun ter facilitering van de deelname van Afrikaanse, Aziatische, Latijns-Amerikaanse en Caribische landen aan FMCT-gerelateerde raadplegingen en andere activiteiten. De EU moedigt alle landen die over kernwapens beschikken ook aan om een onmiddellijk moratorium op de vervaardiging van splijtstoffen voor kernwapens en andere nucleaire explosiemiddelen af te kondigen en te handhaven, voor zover zij dat nog niet hebben gedaan. De EU-lidstaat die een kernwapenstaat is, heeft moratoria afgekondigd en desbetreffende installaties ontmanteld. |

CHEMISCHE WAPENS

| 33. | De EU zette haar politieke, diplomatieke en financiële steun aan de Organisatie voor het verbod van chemische wapens (OPCW) voort om te zorgen voor de volledige en doeltreffende uitvoering van en universele toetreding tot het Verdrag inzake chemische wapens (CWC). |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Op 1 april 2019 stelde de Raad Besluit (GBVB) 2019/538 (8) vast, waarmee EU-steun wordt verleend voor OPCW-kernactiviteiten (zoals nationale uitvoering, internationale samenwerking, universalisering, het Afrika-programma) voor de periode 2019-2022. Het levert ook een aanzienlijke bijdrage aan de ombouw van het laboratorium van de OPCW tot een Centrum voor chemie en technologie, en aan de uitvoering van Besluit C-SS-4/DEC.3 “Addressing the Threat from Chemical Weapons”, dat op 27 juni 2018 is vastgesteld door de buitengewone bijeenkomst van de Conferentie van de staten die partij zijn bij het CWC. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | De Raad stelde op 26 juni 2019 Besluit (GBVB) 2019/1092 (9) vast, waarbij de uitvoeringstermijn van Besluit (GBVB) 2017/2302 (10) van 12 december 2017 ter ondersteuning van de OPCW-activiteiten die bijdragen tot de sanering van de voormalige opslagplaats voor chemische wapens in Libië in het kader van de uitvoering van de EU-strategie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens wordt verlengd. |
| --- | --- |

35.

| 36. | De EU bleef krachtig steun verlenen voor het werk van de onderzoeksmissie van de OPCW en het Declaration Assessment Team wat betreft het onderzoeken van berichten over het gebruik van chemische wapens in Syrië en het vinden van een oplossing voor de geconstateerde leemten en tegenstrijdigheden in de initiële verklaringen van Syrië. In dat verband stelde de Raad op 9 december 2019 Besluit (GBVB) 2019/2112 (11) vast, waarbij de uitvoeringstermijn van Besluit (GBVB) 2017/2303 van de Raad (12) ter ondersteuning van de verdere uitvoering van Resolutie 2118 (2013) van de VN-Veiligheidsraad en Besluit EC-M-33/DEC.1 van de uitvoerende raad van de OPCW inzake de vernietiging van de Syrische chemische wapens, in het kader van de tenuitvoerlegging van de EU-strategie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens wordt verlengd. |
| --- | --- |

36.

| 37. | De EU ondernam bij een groot aantal CWC-staten een demarche om te ijveren voor een constructieve aanpak bij de uitvoering van OPCW-besluit C-SS-4/DEC.3 en om steun te verlenen voor het welslagen van de 24e Conferentie van Verdragspartijen bij het CWC (CSP-24) van 25 tot en met 29 november 2019. Dit lag in het verlengde van de conclusies van de Europese Raad van 28 juni 2018, waarin de EU haar steun toezegde voor de uitvoering van Besluit C-SS-4/DEC.3 van de buitengewone bijeenkomst van de CWC van 27 juni 2018 om een toerekeningsmechanisme in te stellen als reactie op het herhaalde gebruik van deze wapens sinds 2012 en om te zorgen voor de aanneming van het ontwerp van OPCW-programma en OPCW-begroting voor 2020, die het technisch secretariaat van de OPCW een stevige en solide basis geven om de vele in het verschiet liggende opdrachten en uitdagingen aan te pakken. |

| 38. | Met Besluit (GBVB) 2017/1252 van de Raad (13) van 11 juli 2017 ter ondersteuning van de aanscherping van de chemische veiligheid en beveiliging in Oekraïne in overeenstemming met de uitvoering van Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties inzake de non-proliferatie van massavernietigingswapens en de overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor, steunde de EU de nationale capaciteitsopbouw in Oekraïne en meer bepaald de oprichting van een Oekraïens nationaal referentiecentrum om gecontroleerde en toxische chemische stoffen te identificeren. |
| --- | --- |

38.

| 39. | Op 14 oktober verlengde de EU bij Besluit (GBVB) 2019/1722 van de Raad (14) haar stelsel van beperkende maatregelen tegen de proliferatie en het gebruik van chemische wapens met twaalf maanden. |

BIOLOGISCHE WAPENS

| 40. | Op 21 januari 2019 stelde de Raad van de Europese Unie het vijfde opeenvolgende besluit ter ondersteuning van het Verdrag inzake biologische en toxinewapens (BTWC) vast. Met Besluit (GBVB) 2019/97 van de Raad (15) wordt het VN-Bureau voor ontwapeningszaken (Unoda) voorzien van een begroting van 3 miljoen EUR voor de periode 2019-2022. Hierdoor kan de ondersteunende eenheid voor de uitvoering van het BTWC (ISU — Implementation Support Unit) zes nieuwe projecten ter ondersteuning van de universele toepassing ervan mogelijk maken, waaronder het opbouwen van de capaciteit voor nationale uitvoering, daaronder begrepen drie collegiale toetsingen; het bevorderen van biobeveiliging in het zuidelijk halfrond; het ontwikkelen van instrumenten voor outreach, educatie en betrokkenheid; en het vergroten van de paraatheid om te reageren op biologische aanvallen. In 2019 werden met dit besluit drie workshops en twee andere evenementen gefinancierd. Een van deze workshops was er een over biobeveiliging — de eerste in zijn soort — getiteld “Engaging Young Scientists from the Global South in Biosecurity Diplomacy”, die op 3-5 augustus 2019 bij Genève werd gehouden. Hij werd bijgewoond door een twintigtal jonge wetenschappers uit ontwikkelingslanden die rond BTWC-gerelateerde onderwerpen werkten. Besluit (GBVB) 2019/97 zal ook het intersessionele programma van het BTWC en de voorbereiding van de negende toetsingsconferentie in 2021 steunen. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | Op 31 juli 2019 stelde de Raad Besluit (GBVB) 2019/1296 (16) ter ondersteuning van de aanscherping van de biologische veiligheid en beveiliging in Oekraïne in overeenstemming met de uitvoering van Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties inzake de non-proliferatie van massavernietigingswapens en de overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor vast. Dit besluit voorziet in steun ten bedrage van 1,9 miljoen EUR over een periode van drie jaar. Met deze wetgeving steunt de EU de versterking van de biologische veiligheid en beveiliging in Oekraïne door de wet- en regelgeving van Oekraïne en van zijn volks- en diergezondheidsstelsels te verbeteren, en door het bewustzijn onder levenswetenschappers te verhogen. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | Op 9 december 2019 stelde de Raad Besluit (GBVB) 2019/2108 (17) ter ondersteuning van de aanscherping van de biologische veiligheid en beveiliging in Latijns-Amerika in overeenstemming met de uitvoering van Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties inzake de non-proliferatie van massavernietigingswapens en de overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor vast, dat in 2,7 miljoen EUR over een periode van drie jaar voorziet. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Met de genoemde besluiten van de Raad is het totale bedrag van de EU-steun voor het BTWC sinds 2006 opgelopen tot bijna 15 miljoen EUR. |
| --- | --- |

43.

| 44. | Tijdens de bijeenkomst van staten die partij zijn bij het Verdrag, die van 3 tot en met 6 december 2019 plaatsvond in Genève, legde de EU een algemene verklaring af. De EU sprak nogmaals haar krachtige steun uit aan het BTWC als belangrijke pijler van het op regels gebaseerde internationale bestel, maar wees er ook op dat zij zich al lang inzet voor de versterking van het Verdrag, de bevordering van de universalisering en de verbetering van de uitvoering ervan. De prioriteiten van de EU in het kader van het BTWC zijn onder meer het verbeteren van de nationale uitvoering en naleving, het bevorderen van vertrouwenwekkende en transparante maatregelen zoals collegiale toetsingen, vrijwillige bezoeken en andere initiatieven, het vergemakkelijken van de samenwerking op het gebied van wetenschap en technologie, het operationaliseren van de bepalingen van artikel V inzake raadpleging en de bepalingen van artikel VII inzake bijstand, respons en paraatheid, het bevorderen van de universele toetreding tot het Verdrag, alsmede gendergelijkheid en de versterking van de positie van vrouwen als belangrijke transversale prioriteit. Voorts uitte de EU haar aanhoudende bezorgdheid over de kritieke financiële situatie van het Verdrag en drong zij er bij alle landen op aan hun financiële verplichtingen onverwijld na te komen indien zij dit nog niet hadden gedaan. In dat verband herinnerde de EU eraan dat het in 2018 opgerichte operationeel fonds bedoeld is om aan het begin van het kalenderjaar financiële kortetermijnliquiditeit te verschaffen en in geen geval om niet-betalingen of achterstallige betalingen te subsidiëren. Wat de activiteiten betreft, vestigde de EU de aandacht op de resultaten van de samenwerking die is ontwikkeld in het kader van het besluit van de Raad van de Europese Unie betreffende de ondersteuning van het BTWC en het EU-initiatief voor kenniscentra op het gebied van CBRN-risicolimitering. Tijdens een door de EU gefinancierd nevenevenement op 4 december 2019 werden in het kader van het initiatief betreffende de CBRN-kenniscentra activiteiten op het gebied van bioveiligheid in de Kaukasus gepresenteerd. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | De EU nam ook actief deel aan de vijf vergaderingen van deskundigen die van 29 juli tot en met 8 augustus 2019 in Genève werden gehouden: de vergadering van deskundigen (MX1) over samenwerking en bijstand, met bijzondere aandacht voor het versterken van de samenwerking en bijstand in het kader van artikel X (29 en 30 juli), de vergadering van deskundigen (MX2) over de evaluatie van wetenschappelijke en technologische ontwikkelingen in verband met het Verdrag (31 juli en 2 augustus), de vergadering van deskundigen (MX3) over het versterken van de nationale uitvoering (5 augustus 2019), de vergadering van deskundigen (MX4) over bijstand, respons en paraatheid (6 en 7 augustus 2019) en de vergadering van deskundigen (MX5) over de institutionele versterking van het Verdrag (8 augustus 2019). De EU formuleerde op elk van deze vergaderingen gerichte en actuele kernboodschappen en sprak tijdens het door Frankrijk georganiseerde nevenevenement over vrijwillige transparantiemaatregelen, waarbij zij pleitte voor een meer gestructureerde uitwisseling van informatie over intercollegiale toetsingen. De EU richtte zich op de bewustmaking van beroepsbeoefenaren in de sector wetenschap en technologie door middel van e-learningmodules en de financiering van seminars voor belanghebbenden. In dezelfde context bepleitte de EU het besluit van de Raad ter ondersteuning van de universalisering en uitvoering van het Verdrag. |

BALLISTISCHE RAKETTEN

Haagse Gedragscode

| 46. | De Haagse Gedragscode tegen de verspreiding van ballistische raketten (HCOC) is het resultaat van de inspanningen van de internationale gemeenschap ter regulering van het domein van ballistische raketten die massavernietigingswapens kunnen overbrengen. De Haagse Gedragscode is het enige multilaterale instrument voor transparantie en vertrouwenwekkende maatregelen in verband met de verspreiding van ballistische raketten. Door de Haagse Gedragscode te onderschrijven, gaan de leden vrijwillig de politieke verplichting aan om lanceringen van ballistische raketten en ruimteraketten, en testvluchten, vooraf aan te kondigen. De ondertekenende landen zeggen tevens toe jaarlijks een verklaring over het nationale beleid inzake ballistische raketten en ruimteraketten af te leggen. |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | De EU is sterk voorstander van de Code sinds de instelling ervan. Alle EU-lidstaten hebben de Code onderschreven. Sinds de ondertekening en inwerkingtreding van de politiek bindende Haagse Gedragscode in november 2002 in Den Haag (Nederland) is het aantal ondertekenaars toegenomen van 93 tot 143. Dit is ook te danken aan de diplomatieke contacten die de EU met een aantal niet-ondertekenende landen heeft gehad om bij te dragen aan de universalisering van de Code. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | De EU maakt zich onophoudelijk sterk voor de universaliteit, volledige uitvoering en verbeterde werking van de Code. Het voorbije decennium stelt de Raad van de EU in het kader van het GBVB een reeks besluiten/gemeenschappelijke optredens vast ter ondersteuning van de Haagse Gedragscode en de niet-verspreiding van raketten in het algemeen. Via deze Raadsbesluiten financiert de EU stimuleringsactiviteiten in verband met de Haagse Gedragscode, waaronder nevenevenementen, onderzoekspapers, deskundigenvergaderingen en regionale bewustmakingsseminars. Deze activiteiten worden uitgevoerd door de in Parijs gevestigde Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), met gewoonlijk ook een inbreng van het roulerend voorzitterschap van de Haagse Gedragscode. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | Met Besluit (GBVB) 2017/2370 van de Raad (18) van 18 december 2017 blijft de EU zich verder inzetten voor: het onderschrijven van de Code en de uiteindelijke universaliteit ervan; het ondersteunen van de volledige uitvoering van de Code; het bevorderen van de dialoog tussen ondertekenende en niet-ondertekenende staten, teneinde vertrouwen en transparantie op te bouwen; het aanmoedigen van terughoudendheid en meer stabiliteit en veiligheid voor iedereen te creëren; het vergroten van de zichtbaarheid van de Code en van het publieke bewustzijn over de risico's en dreigingen die uitgaan van de verspreiding van ballistische raketten, en het onderzoeken, met name via academische studies, van mogelijkheden om de Code te versterken en de samenwerking tussen de Code en andere multilaterale instrumenten op dit gebied te bevorderen. |

RESOLUTIE 1540 VAN DE VEILIGHEIDSRAAD VAN DE VERENIGDE NATIES EN BEPERKING VAN CBRN-RISICO'S

| 50. | Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de VN-Veiligheidsraad blijft een centrale pijler van de internationale non-proliferatieregeling. Ze is het eerste internationale instrument dat op geïntegreerde en alomvattende wijze massavernietigingswapens, de overbrengingsmiddelen ervoor en de daarvoor bestemde materialen bestrijkt. UNSCR 1540 (2004) bevat bindende verplichtingen voor alle landen. Die moeten voorkomen dat niet-statelijke actoren toegang krijgen tot dergelijke wapens, overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor en daarvoor bestemde materialen, en moeten een afschrikkende werking hebben. De resolutie, die is aangenomen op grond van hoofdstuk VII van het Handvest van de Verenigde Naties, vereist dat alle landen de nodige wetgeving aannemen die voorkomt dat niet-statelijke actoren nucleaire, chemische of biologische wapens in handen krijgen, en dat zij passende nationale controles instellen op gerelateerde materialen om illegale handel te voorkomen. Tijdens de alomvattende evaluatie in 2016 van Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de VN-Veiligheidsraad werden de spilfunctie, het belang en het gezag ervan, die in Resolutie 2325 (2016) van de VN-Veiligheidsraad zijn weergegeven, bevestigd. |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | Op 11 mei 2017 heeft de Europese Raad Besluit (GBVB) 2017/809 van de Raad (19) ter ondersteuning van de uitvoering van Resolutie 1540 (2004) van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties inzake de non-proliferatie van massavernietigingswapens en de overbrengingsmiddelen daarvoor vastgesteld, als hulpmiddel voor de uitvoering van het resultaat van de alomvattende evaluatie in 2016 en ook als ondersteuning voor de uitvoering van Resolutie 1540 van de VN-veiligheidsraad. Het Raadsbesluit bestrijkt een periode van 36 maanden en wordt uitgevoerd door Unoda in New York, dat een deel van de uitvoering heeft uitbesteed aan de OVSE in Wenen. De EU-financiering steunt landen bij de inventarisering van specifieke technische bijstand, de bewustmaking rond programma's voor technische bijstand, en de intensivering van de samenwerking met internationale en regionale organisaties, teneinde inspanningen voor nationale capaciteitsopbouw te steunen. |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | Het EU-initiatief kenniscentra op het gebied van chemische, biologische, radiologische en nucleaire risicobestrijding (CBRN) (“het initiatief”) is een wereldwijd programma voor capaciteitsopbouw dat momenteel 61 partnerlanden samenbrengt die in groepen zijn ingedeeld rond acht regionale secretariaten in de onderstaande regio's: Atlantische zijde van Afrika, Centraal-Azië, Oost- en Centraal-Afrika, landen van de Raad voor samenwerking van de Golfstaten, Midden-Oosten, Noord-Afrika en de Sahel, Zuidoost-Azië, Zuidoost- en Oost-Europa. |
| --- | --- |

52.

| 53. | Het initiatief CBRN-kenniscentra wordt gefinancierd uit het instrument voor bijdrage aan stabiliteit en vrede (IcSP) en de doelstelling ervan is risico's in verband met CBRN-materialen te bestrijden, de paraatheid van partnerlanden te verhogen en een veiligheidscultuur en -bestuur te bevorderen. Deelnemende landen worden gesteund in hun inspanningen om op vrijwillige basis en vanuit een vraaggestuurde, regionale benadering nationale en regionale coördinatie- en beheersstructuren op te zetten. Deze platforms ontwikkelen en versterken CBRN-voorstellen en doen aan capaciteitsopbouw op basis van specifieke behoeftenevaluaties en nationale actieplannen. Ze worden gesteund via verscheidene regionale samenwerkingsprojecten die in het kader van het initiatief worden gefinancierd, en staan open voor andere financieringsinstrumenten. Sedert 2010 zijn er 82 regionale projecten gefinancierd. De begroting voor het initiatief voor de 10-jarige periode vanaf 2010 bedraagt ongeveer 250 miljoen EUR. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Het netwerk van kenniscentra is nu goed ontwikkeld en heeft de EU in staat gesteld grensoverschrijdende simulatie- en echte oefeningen te houden op het gebied van civiele bescherming, reactie op incidenten, bioveiligheid en afvalbeheer in het kader van kenniscentraprojecten, teneinde de zichtbaarheid van de centra te vergroten en hun effect concreet te beoordelen. Er is een begin gemaakt met de ontwikkeling van regionale CBRN-actieplannen, alsook interregionale samenwerking. Bovendien is het initiatief rijp genoeg om verdere acties die gericht zijn op het aanpakken van veiligheidsbestuurskwesties op het gebied van cybercriminaliteit, terrorisme, kritieke infrastructuur, vervalste geneesmiddelen, hybride dreigingen en explosieven, te ondersteunen, en om de samenwerking inzake nucleair forensisch onderzoek, grenscontrole en controle op de uitvoer van producten voor tweeërlei gebruik te bevorderen. In het kader van het EU-netwerk van kenniscentra op het gebied van CBRN, ontwikkelde het JRC van de EU in 2019 in samenwerking met het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Energie en het Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research onderwijs- en opleidingsactiviteiten op het gebied van nucleaire beveiliging voor deelnemers uit Georgië, Oekraïne, Azerbeidzjan en Moldavië, om de nucleaire beveiliging in het Zwarte Zeegebied te verbeteren. |

54.

| 55. | De uitvoering van het actieplan ter verbetering van de paraatheid bij veiligheidsrisico's op chemisch, biologisch, radiologisch en nucleair gebied, dat in oktober 2017 door de Commissie werd gepresenteerd als onderdeel van een breder pakket terrorismebestrijding, werd voortgezet. Met huidige actieplan, waarmee wordt voortgebouwd op de resultaten van het CBRN-actieplan van de EU 2010-2015, wordt een breed scala aan maatregelen ter verbetering van de paraatheid, veerkracht en coördinatie op EU-niveau ingevoerd. In het plan wordt een meer op veiligheid gerichte CBRN-architectuur op EU-niveau voorgesteld, waarbij de nadruk ligt op de noodzaak om beter gebruik te maken van de bestaande middelen en beschikbare deskundigheid te bundelen. In het actieplan wordt ook opgeroepen de CBRN-paraatheid en -respons van de EU te verhogen met grensoverschrijdende en sectoroverschrijdende opleidingen en oefeningen. Het plan benadrukt dat, telkens als dat nodig is, grens- en douaneautoriteiten en militaire partners hierbij moeten worden betrokken. Ook wordt in het actieplan nadrukkelijk gewezen op het belang van nauwe banden tussen interne en externe aan CBRN-veiligheid gerelateerde activiteiten en van samenwerking met gespecialiseerde multilaterale organisaties zoals de IAEA, de OPCW of Interpol. De uitvoering van het actieplan wordt financieel ondersteund via het Fonds voor interne veiligheid — Politie. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | Het CBRN-actieplan kreeg wetenschappelijke en technische ondersteuning vanuit een reeks onderzoeksprojecten die worden gefinancierd in het kader van de doelstelling “Een veilige samenleving” binnen het zevende kaderprogramma. Het onderzoek heeft betrekking op de volledige crisisbeheersingscyclus, van preventie tot herstel. Onderzoek naar de behoefte aan normalisatie zou kunnen uitmonden in “Europese normen”. Het Horizon 2020-programma zal het huidige CBRN-onderzoekswerk via gerichte thema's intensiveren. |

DENKTANKS

| 57. | Op grond van Besluit 2010/430/GBVB van de Raad (20) van 26 juli 2010 wordt de uitvoering van de EU-strategie tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens actief ondersteund door het EU-Consortium non-proliferatie en ontwapening, dat in januari 2011 met zijn werkzaamheden is begonnen. Op 26 februari 2018 heeft de Raad Besluit (GBVB) 2018/299 (21) vastgesteld, waarbij de EU-steun voor de activiteiten van het consortium voor de periode 2018-2021 wordt verlengd, door voort te bouwen op de verwezenlijkingen tot dusver en door nieuwe projecten toe te voegen. |

57.

| 58. | De activiteiten van het Consortium hebben de zichtbaarheid van de EU in derde landen en bij het maatschappelijk middenveld vergroot, en in aanzienlijke mate bijgedragen tot de beleidsvorming van de EU op het gebied van non-proliferatie en ontwapening. Het Consortium biedt een platform voor informele contacten tussen experts en stimuleert de dialoog tussen verschillende belanghebbenden. Met zijn activiteiten heeft het Consortium geholpen een groter bewustzijn te creëren omtrent de uitdagingen in verband met massavernietigings- en conventionele wapens, en ook zijn er in dat verband oplossingen verkend. Het Consortium put uit een uitgebreid netwerk van 90 denktanks en onderzoeksinstituten in heel Europa, met leden uit alle EU-lidstaten en uit partnerlanden als Zwitserland en Oekraïne. In 2019 hebben 14 instellingen zich bij het netwerk aangesloten. |

UITVOERCONTROLES

| 61. | In 2019 heeft de Groep Coarm de laatste hand gelegd aan haar evaluatie van Gemeenschappelijk Standpunt 2008/944/GBVB (23) inzake de controle op de uitvoer van wapens. De Raad heeft een besluit tot wijziging van het gemeenschappelijk standpunt van de Raad en een herziene gebruikershandleiding aangenomen. Voorts heeft de Raad conclusies aangenomen over de evaluatie van het gemeenschappelijk standpunt. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | Het Raadsbesluit houdt rekening met een aantal ontwikkelingen op zowel EU- als internationaal niveau die sinds de vaststelling van het gemeenschappelijk standpunt in 2008 tot nieuwe verplichtingen en verbintenissen voor de lidstaten hebben geleid. Zo is op 24 december 2014 het Wapenhandelsverdrag (WHV) in werking getreden, dat de internationale handel in conventionele wapens reglementeert. Alle lidstaten zijn partij bij het WHV. Doel van het WHV is zo hoog mogelijke gemeenschappelijke internationale normen in te voeren om internationale handel in conventionele wapens te reglementeren of de reglementering van die handel te verbeteren, illegale handel in conventionele wapens te voorkomen en uit te bannen, en oneigenlijk gebruik van die wapens te voorkomen. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | In zijn conclusies herhaalt de Raad te hechten aan een scherpere controle op de uitvoer van militaire goederen en technologie, aan nauwere samenwerking en aan grotere convergentie op het gebied van de uitvoer van militaire technologie en uitrusting. De Raad geeft dit vorm door hoge gemeenschappelijke normen voor het beheer van overdrachten van militaire technologie en goederen door alle lidstaten vast te stellen, hoog te houden en toe te passen. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | Voorts heeft de EU in 2019 haar initiatieven ter ondersteuning van derde landen bij het opzetten van een wapenuitvoercontrolesysteem, en ter bevordering van de universalisering van het Wapenhandelsverdrag voortgezet. In het verlengde van Besluit (GBVB) 2018/101 van de Raad (24) van 22 januari 2018, dat wordt uitgevoerd door het Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle (Duits bureau voor economie en uitvoercontrole, BAFA), heeft er een aantal regionale workshops, studiebezoeken en evenementen voor individuele bijstand plaatsgevonden. Daarnaast hebben de organisaties BAFA en Expertise France in het kader van Besluit (GBVB) 2017/915 van de Raad (25) verdere regionale voorlichtingsactiviteiten, op maat gesneden nationale ondersteuningsprogramma's en ad-hocworkshops voor individuele ondersteuning uitgevoerd, ter bevordering van de daadwerkelijke uitvoering en universalisering van het Wapenhandelsverdrag. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | In het kader van de politieke dialoog over aangelegenheden in verband met de controle op de wapenuitvoer hebben in 2018 en 2019 bijeenkomsten plaatsgevonden met Noorwegen, Canada, de Verenigde Staten en Oekraïne. Deze bijeenkomsten in het kader van de politieke dialoog waren een forum voor vruchtbare gedachtewisselingen over aangelegenheden van wederzijds belang, zoals het uitvoerbeleid ten aanzien van specifieke bestemmingen, nalevings- en controlevraagstukken, en het proces omtrent het Wapenhandelsverdrag. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | In 2019 ging de EU voort met het regelmatig actualiseren van haar regelgeving als reactie op ontwikkelingen in multilaterale uitvoercontroleregelingen. Zo heeft de Europese Commissie op 17 oktober 2019 Gedelegeerde Verordening (EU) 2019/2199 (26) vastgesteld waarbij de EU-controlelijst in overeenstemming wordt gebracht met besluiten die in 2018 genomen zijn in het kader van multilaterale uitvoercontroleregelingen. Voorts heeft zij nieuwe controles ingevoerd voor onder meer platforms voor lancering vanuit de lucht, MMIC-vermogensversterkers, discrete microgolftransistors en onderwatervoertuigen voor onbemand gebruik. |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | De Coördinatiegroep tweeërlei gebruik is doorgegaan met het verlenen van steun voor een effectieve en consistente uitvoering van uitvoercontroles in de EU. Er zijn nieuwe functies toegevoegd aan het “elektronisch systeem producten voor tweeërlei gebruik”, wat de informatie-uitwisseling en de technische uitwisseling in de EU heeft verbeterd. De EU heeft via de aanneming van Aanbeveling (EU) 2019/1318 van de Commissie (27) van 30 juli 2019 richtsnoeren uitgevaardigd voor de naleving van voorschriften door het bedrijfsleven. Ook heeft de EU voortgang geboekt bij de ontwikkeling van een “elektronisch vergunningsplatform” voor gebruik op vrijwillige basis door bevoegde instanties. Er is een jaarverslag (28) gepubliceerd om voor transparantie met betrekking tot uitvoercontroles en vergunningsactiviteiten te zorgen, en op 13 december 2019 is er een forum voor uitvoercontrole georganiseerd voor belanghebbenden uit de lidstaten, het bedrijfsleven en het maatschappelijk middenveld (29). |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | De evaluatie van het uitvoercontrolebeleid van de EU is voortgezet. De Raad en het Europees Parlement hebben het voorstel van de Commissie om de controle op de uitvoer van producten voor tweeërlei gebruik te moderniseren, actief besproken. In juni 2019 heeft de Raad een mandaat aangenomen voor de onderhandelingen met het Europees Parlement en in het najaar zijn de trialoogonderhandelingen tussen de beide wetgevers begonnen. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Ter voorbereiding van onderstaande bijeenkomsten in het kader van de uitvoercontroleregelingen werden, naargelang het geval, de EU-standpunten en -verklaringen onderling afgestemd: voor de plenaire vergadering van de Groep van Nucleaire Exportlanden in Nur-Sultan (20-21 juni 2019) en de plenaire vergadering van de Australiëgroep in Parijs (3-7 juni 2019) en het controleregime voor de uitvoer van rakettechnologie (Missile Technology Control Regime — MTCR) in Auckland (7-11 oktober 2019). |
| --- | --- |

69.

| 70. | Het MTCR is een informele en vrijwillige groepering landen die samen streven naar non-proliferatie van onbemande overbrengingsmiddelen voor massavernietigingswapens, en die hun uitvoervergunningverlening met het oog op voorkoming van de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens trachten te coördineren. De deelnemende regeringen van het MTCR werken naar gezamenlijke uitvoerrichtsnoeren (MTCR Guidelines) ten aanzien van een geïntegreerde gemeenschappelijke lijst in de bijlage bij de regeling (MTCR Equipment, Software and Technology Annex) van aan controle onderworpen producten. De MTCR-partners wisselen regelmatig informatie uit over relevante kwesties in verband met de nationale uitvoervergunningen. De MTCR-richtsnoeren en de controlelijsten vormen een internationaal ijkpunt voor beste praktijken inzake de controle op de uitvoer van raketgerelateerde producten en technologieën. |
| --- | --- |

70.

| 71. | Het feit dat de toetreding tot het MTCR van Cyprus, Estland, Kroatië, Letland, Litouwen, Malta, Roemenië, Slovenië en Slowakije geblokkeerd is, blijft voor de EU een belangrijk punt in dit verband. Voorts zijn de continuïteit van het voorzitterschap van uitvoercontroleregelingen als het MTCR en de voorspelbaarheid bij de uitoefening daarvan essentieel voor de werking en de geloofwaardigheid ervan. In oktober 2019 hebben de EU-lidstaten die lid zijn van het MTCR, ter overweging door de plenaire vergadering een informeel document over voorzitterschapskwesties ingediend met daarin verschillende opties voor het aanmoedigen en ondersteunen van een duurzaam voorzitterschap. De EU blijft met de overige leden in overleg over de verschillende opties. De EU is altijd voorstander geweest van het afgeven van sterke publieke signalen door het MTCR voor het uiten van de internationale bezorgdheid over de lancering van ballistische raketten en de significante ontwikkeling van rakettechnologie door Iran en de DVK. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | De uitvoering van het EU-programma voor uitvoercontrole P2P voor het doeltreffender maken van systemen voor controle op de uitvoer van producten voor tweeërlei gebruik en daarmee verband houdende uitrusting, materialen en technologieën is vanuit zes regio's voortgezet. In 2019 is het programma uitgebreid ten behoeve van samenwerking met Irak, en momenteel bestrijkt het in totaal 37 landen, waaronder 13 landen die voorwerp zijn van de “Export Control Targeted Initiatives” (regionale initiatieven voor uitvoercontrole) met het Centrum voor wetenschap en technologie van Oekraïne en het Internationaal Centrum voor wetenschap en technologie in Kazachstan. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | De intensieve coördinatie van het EU-programma voor uitvoercontrole P2P met het programma Export Control and Related Border Security van het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken is in 2019 voortgezet. Er werden gezamenlijke EU-VS-seminars georganiseerd om dreigingsevaluatiemethodes uit te wisselen, gezamenlijke impactindicatoren vast te stellen en de ondersteuning op het terrein te coördineren. In augustus 2019 organiseerde de EU in Finland de jaarlijkse editie van de EU-P2P-zomeruniversiteit over strategisch handelstoezicht voor partnerlanden van het EU-programma voor uitvoercontrole P2P. Het EU-P2P-portaal is gemigreerd naar de officiële webomgeving van de Europese Unie (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en); de visuele en inhoudelijke verbeteringen worden afgerond in 2020. Het portaal blijft het platform voor alle outreachprogramma's van de EU betreffende de controle op de uitvoer van militaire goederen en producten voor tweeërlei gebruik, met als doel de informatie-uitwisseling met de EU-partnerlanden op maat te snijden. Het programma wordt gefinancierd uit het instrument voor bijdrage aan stabiliteit en vrede. |

73.

RUIMTE

| 74. | De EU en haar lidstaten zijn blijven ijveren voor het behoud van een veilige en duurzame ruimte en een vreedzaam gebruik daarvan op een billijke en voor allen aanvaardbare basis. Zij zijn blijven wijzen op het belang van transparantiebevorderende en vertrouwenwekkende maatregelen en op de noodzaak de beginselen van verantwoord gedrag in de ruimte in het kader van de Verenigde Naties te blijven bepleiten. In dit verband heeft de EU in de Algemene Vergadering van de VN, de VN-Conferentie over ontwapening, de ontwapeningscommissie van de VN en de VN-commissie voor het vreedzaam gebruik van de kosmische ruimte (Copuos) verklaringen over de ruimte afgelegd. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | Een wapenwedloop in de ruimte voorkomen was en bleef volgens de EU en haar lidstaten van groot belang, met het oog op grotere internationale veiligheid en stabiliteit en voor een vreedzaam gebruik van de ruimte op lange termijn. Ook zijn zij zich bezorgd blijven tonen over de ontwikkeling van alle antisatellietwapens en -vermogens, met inbegrip van wapens op de grond, en zijn zij erop blijven hameren dat deze ontwikkelingen snel via internationale initiatieven ter preventie van een wapenwedloop in de ruimte moeten worden aangepakt. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | De EU en haar lidstaten hebben zich met verve ingezet voor goedkeuring van de preambule en de 21 richtsnoeren inzake de langetermijnhoudbaarheid van ruimteactiviteiten door de Commissie voor het vreedzaam gebruik van de kosmische ruimte, zoals vervolgens bekrachtigd bij een resolutie van de Algemene Vergadering van de VN in 2019 (30). De richtsnoeren vormen een belangrijke aanvulling op de transparantie- en vertrouwenwekkende maatregelen in de ruimte (31). |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Op 9 december heeft het EU-Consortium voor non-proliferatie en ontwapening in samenwerking met de Taskforce ruimte van de EDEO, in Brussel het seminar “Beveiliging, veiligheid en duurzaamheid: bevordering van goed gedrag in de ruimte” georganiseerd. Doel van het seminar was om gedachten en informatie uit te wisselen over nationale, regionale en mondiale initiatieven voor het behoud van een veilige en duurzame ruimte en een vreedzaam gebruik daarvan op een billijke en algemeen aanvaardbare basis. Het seminar werd bijgewoond door ambtenaren, academici en ondernemers. De deelnemers waardeerden de vruchtbare discussie tussen de ruimtevaartwereld en de wereld van non-proliferatie en ontwapening, over vraagstukken in verband met beveiliging, veiligheid en duurzaamheid van de ruimte. |
| --- | --- |

77.

CLAUSULES OVER NON-PROLIFERATIE VAN MVW

| 78. | Overeenkomstig haar beleid inzake non-proliferatie van MVW en de conclusies van de Raad van 2003, bleef de EU voortwerken aan het mainstreamen van toezeggingen op het gebied van de non-proliferatie van MVW in overeenkomsten met partnerlanden. De onderhandelingen over een MVW-clausule in nieuwe overeenkomsten werden voortgezet met Azerbeidzjan en afgerond met Chili en Kirgizië. Voorts vond, in lijn met het gezamenlijk besluit van de EU en Cuba over de voorlopige toepassing van bepaalde delen van de nieuwe overeenkomst tussen de EU en Cuba en op basis van de MVW-clausule daarin, in maart in Brussel de allereerste dialoog EU-Cuba over non-proliferatie van massavernietigingswapens plaats. De EU heeft als waarnemer de eerste zitting bijgewoond van de conferentie over de totstandbrenging van een zone in het Midden-Oosten die vrij is van kernwapens en alle andere massavernietigingswapens, die van 18 tot en met 22 november 2019 gehouden werd in New York. |
| --- | --- |

78.

ANDERE MULTILATERALE FORA

G7

| 79. | De EU is actief blijven deelnemen aan de vergaderingen van de Groep directeuren non-proliferatie van de G7 (NPDG). In 2019 heeft de EU deelgenomen aan de vergaderingen onder Frans voorzitterschap over actuele non-proliferatie- en ontwapeningskwesties, waarbij tevens is nagegaan of verdere vooruitgang kon worden geboekt bij de coördinatie van de werkzaamheden van de NPDG en het mondiaal partnerschap van de G7 tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens en materiaal ervoor, met name door beleidsprioriteiten nauwer te koppelen aan projectactiviteiten. |
| --- | --- |

79.

| 80. | De EU blijft gecommitteerd aan het mondiaal partnerschap tegen de verspreiding van massavernietigingswapens en materiaal ervoor, met name via technische ondersteuning (dreigingsevaluatie, nationale actieplannen) die wereldwijd wordt geboden door het EU-initiatief CBRN-kenniscentra. In de G7-verklaring over non-proliferatie en ontwapening van 6 april 2019 werd de blijvende noodzaak onderstreept van het mondiaal partnerschap onder G7-leiding, met nu 30 actieve leden en de EU. |
| --- | --- |

80.

BIJEENKOMSTEN IN HET KADER VAN DE POLITIEKE DIALOOG

| 81. | De speciaal gezant voor non-proliferatie en ontwapening van de EDEO heeft dialoogbijeenkomsten over non-proliferatie en ontwapening gehouden met China, India, Oekraïne en de VS. Hij heeft talrijke malen bilateraal overleg gepleegd met uiteenlopende belanghebbende partijen in de marge van belangrijke fora zoals de Eerste Commissie van de AVVN, de tweede zitting van de commissie ter voorbereiding van de in 2020 te houden toetsingsconferentie met betrekking tot het Verdrag inzake de niet-verspreiding van kernwapens, en de Algemene Conferentie van de IAEA. Er is bilateraal overleg geweest met de hoge vertegenwoordiger van de VN voor ontwapening, met de directeur-generaal van de Organisatie voor het verbod van chemische wapens, met MTCR-voorzitter Nieuw-Zeeland en met anderen. |
