SEŠU MĒNEŠU PROGRESA ZIŅOJUMS PAR TO, KĀ TIEK ĪSTENOTA ES STRATĒĢIJA MASU IZNĪCINĀŠANAS IEROČU IZPLATĪŠANAS NOVĒRŠANAI (2014/I)

2014/C 266/01

IEVADS

Saskaņā ar Eiropadomes 2003. gada decembrī pieņemto ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (dok. 15708/03) ir paredzēts, ka ik pēc sešiem mēnešiem jāsniedz progresa ziņojums par stratēģijas īstenošanu. Šis progresa ziņojums aptver darbības, kas veiktas 2014. gada pirmajā pusē.

Saskaņā ar Eiropas Drošības stratēģijas, ES MII neizplatīšanas stratēģijas un Jauno Eiropas Savienības darbības līniju (dok. 17172/08) mērķiem ES pamatprincipi šajā jomā joprojām ir:

| i) | ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panāktas patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšana un to īstenošana valstu līmenī; |

ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panāktas patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšana un to īstenošana valstu līmenī;

| ii) | cieša sadarbība ar partnervalstīm un citām trešām valstīm ar mērķi panākt vispārēju viedokļu sakritību jautājumā par to, ka ir jāstiprina starptautiskais MII neizplatīšanas režīms. Ir turpinājušies centieni ieroču neizplatīšanas jautājumiem pievērsties divpusējās ES attiecībās ar visām attiecīgajām valstīm, it īpaši politiska dialoga sanāksmēs un neoficiālākā saziņā; |

iii)

visu pieejamo instrumentu un finanšu resursu – KĀDP budžeta, Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta (iepriekš – Stabilitātes instruments), citu instrumentu – efektīvs un savstarpēji papildinošs izmantojums, lai panāktu uz ES ārpolitikas mērķu izpildi vērsto darbību maksimālu iedarbīgumu.

Tādēļ darbs tiek rūpīgi saskaņots ar plašāka mēroga drošības politiku un ES veiktajām konfliktu novēršanas darbībām.

2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā EĀDD galvenais padomdevējs un īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos Eiropas Savienību pārstāvēja vairākās būtiskās starptautiskās sanāksmēs (proti, G7/G8 valstu MII neizplatīšanas direktoru grupas sanāksmē, KNL sagatavošanas komitejas 2014. gada sanāksmē, beztermiņa konsultāciju kārtā par projektu starptautiskam Rīcības kodeksam par kosmosā veiktām darbībām).

2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā īpašais sūtnis uzmanību galvenokārt pievērsa šādām darbībām:

| — | pastiprināt centienus, lai uzturētu spēkā Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumu (tostarp tā X pantu par izstāšanos). Tā joprojām ir viena no svarīgākajām ES prioritātēm, ņemot vērā arī tās tiešo saistību ar būtiskākajām reģionālajām izplatīšanas novēršanas problēmām Irānā un Korejas Tautas Demokrātiskajā Republikā (KTDR). ES turpināja atbalstīt Somijas koordinatora centienus sasaukt Helsinku konferenci jautājumā par to, lai Tuvajos Austrumos izveidotu no MII brīvu zonu, tostarp ar ES ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcija palīdzību sarīkojot spēju darbsemināru Tuvo Austrumu reģiona vidējā līmeņa diplomātiem, |

1.   KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

ES Padomes MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa (CONOP) ciešā sadarbībā ar attiecīgajām ES delegācijām aktīvi palīdzēja sagatavot ES nostājas KNL sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmei, kas notika 2014. gada 28. aprīlī – 9. maijā Ņujorkā, un SAEA Valdes sanāksmēm 2014. gada martā un jūnijā. Tā sniedza stratēģiskas norādes un izstrādāja ES ieguldījumu citās starptautiskās sanāksmēs, piemēram, tādās kā NSG konsultatīvās grupas, CTBTO sagatavošanas komisijas, Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma (MTCR), Austrālijas grupas (AG) sanāksmēs un citās attiecīgās sanāksmēs, kas ir tās kompetencē.

1.1.   Pasākumi pēc 2010. gada Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) pārskatīšanas konferences

CONOP2014. gada 23. aprīļa sanāksmē notika diskusijas ar trešās KNL Sagatavošanas komitejas priekšsēdētāju. Gatavojoties 2015. gada pārskatīšanas konferencei, darbu ir turpinājušas trīs neoficiālās “priekšsēdētāja draugu” darba apakšgrupas, kuras sagatavo ES ieguldījumu KNL 2015. gada pārskatīšanas ciklam un kuras vada ES dalībvalstis ar EĀDD dalību. Trešajā Sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmē īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos nāca klajā ar vispārīgu ES paziņojumu un trim paziņojumu apkopojumiem, un sanāksmes dalībnieki tika iepazīstināti ar diviem ES darba dokumentiem (ES centieni stiprināt kodoldrošību un ES centieni stiprināt kodoldrošumu). Līdztekus Sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmei tika rīkots labi apmeklēts papildu pasākums par ES centieniem stiprināt kodoldrošību.

Jautājumā, kas skar no MII brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos, ES turpināja pilnībā atbalstīt sagatavošanas darbus, kuru mērķis ir sarīkot sekmīgu konferenci, un jo īpaši tās koordinatora Somijas vēstnieka Laajava un viņa komandas nerimstošos centienus šajā sakarā. 2014. gada 18. un 19. jūnijā Briselē notika spēju darbseminārs, kas bija paredzēts vidējā līmeņa un jaunākajiem diplomātiem no attiecīgajām šā reģiona valstīm. Tāpat kā iepriekš, ļoti liela nozīme šā pasākuma rīkošanā bija ES ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijam. Oficiālās ar Arābu valstu līgu un vairākām arābu valstīm rīkotās sanāksmēs Eiropas Savienība visas puses šajā reģionā aicināja steidzami un proaktīvi veidot attiecības ar koordinatoru un konferences rīkotājiem, lai konferenci varētu sasaukt cik drīz vien iespējams. EĀDD visos līmeņos uzturēja ciešu saziņu ar koordinatoru un viņa komandu.

1.2.   Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra (SAEA)

ES ir turpinājusi palielināt atbalstu Starptautiskajai atomenerģijas aģentūrai Vīnē. ES joprojām ir viena no galvenajām līdzekļu devējām Kodoldrošības fondam; kopš 2004. gada ES tajā ir iemaksājusi gandrīz EUR 40 miljonus (ieskaitot jaunāko apņemšanos aģentūrai nodrošināt EUR 8,05 miljonus, kā pamatā ir Padomes Lēmums 2013/517/KĀDP (2013. gada 21. oktobris)). Turklāt saistībā ar kodoldrošību ES ir nodrošinājusi tehniskās zināšanas SAEA rīkotās un trešām valstīm paredzētās mācībās un darbsemināros, lai uzlabotu spējas apkarot kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu nelikumīgu tirdzniecību. ES un SAEA turpināja koordinēt savu palīdzību trešām valstīm šajā jomā. 2014. gada 20. un 21. februārī Vīnē notika otrā gadskārtējā ES un SAEA augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksme, kurā piedalījās EĀDD, Eiropas Komisijas/Euratom un SAEA pārstāvji augstāko amatpersonu līmenī un kas sekoja SAEA ģenerāldirektora Yukiya Amano sekmīgajai vizītei Briselē (3. un 4. februārī). Sanāksmi atklāja ģenerāldirektors Amano. Tika pieņemts kopīgs paziņojums presei. Augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmju mērķis ir uzlabot sadarbību visās SAEA darbības jomās, palielināt ES ieguldījuma pamanāmību un vēl vairāk saskaņot ES rīcību, lai nodrošinātu papildināmību un izvairītos no to darbību pārklāšanās, kuras ES CBRN izcilības centri un SAEA veic kodoldrošības jomā (šajā nolūkā ES/Kopīgais pētniecības centrs un SAEA ir arī vienojušies par praktisku kārtību, saskaņā ar kuru tiek organizēta sadarbība). Līdztekus augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmei notika Augstākā līmeņa ierēdņu sadarbības komitejas pirmā sanāksme, kuras nolūks bija sekot tam, kā tiek īstenots 2013. gada septembrī parakstītais Euratom un SAEA Saprašanās memorands par kodoldrošību. ES un SAEA augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu trešā sanāksme notiks 2015. gada sākumā Eiropas Komisijas telpās Luksemburgā.

Kopš 2008. gada ES ar Padomes secinājumu starpniecību ir apņēmusies SAEA mazbagātināta urāna (Low Enriched Uranium – LEU) bankai nodrošināt līdz EUR 25 miljoniem. ES no Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta bankas atbalstam ir pārskaitījusi EUR 20 miljonus. Turpmāku ieguldījumu līdz EUR 5 miljonu apmērā plānots sniegt no KĀDP budžeta, balstoties uz Padomes lēmumu. Padome vēl nav devusi apstiprinājumu, jo negaidīti lēni uz priekšu virzās dažādu nolīgumu pabeigšana, tostarp SAEA un Kazahstānas uzņēmējvalsts nolīguma pabeigšana.

Kodolmateriālu drošības mehānismu jomā Eiropas Komisijas Kodolmateriālu drošības direktorāts turpina drošības mehānismus piemērot visiem kodolmateriāliem, kas paredzēti nemilitāriem mērķiem, visās 28 ES dalībvalstīs, tam ik gadu paredzot budžetu aptuveni EUR 20 miljonu apmērā. Drošības mehānismu kontroles darbības tiek koordinētas ciešā sadarbībā ar SAEA.

Šajā jomā SAEA un Komisija nepārtraukti uzlabo savu sadarbību, lai optimāli izmantotu cilvēkresursus un finanšu resursus, vienlaikus attiecībā uz drošības pasākumiem saglabājot pēc iespējas lielu efektivitāti. Ar Eiropas Komisijas drošības pasākumu atbalsta programmas starpniecību ES ir arī turpinājusi sniegt ievērojamu tehnisku atbalstu SAEA kodolmateriālu drošības pasākumu jomā.

Lai gan ES jau ir piešķīrusi EUR 10 miljonus, lai atbalstītu starptautisku projektu, kura mērķis ir Austrijas Zaibersdorfas (Seibersdorf) drošības mehānismu laboratorijas paplašināšana un modernizācija (EUR 9,50 miljoni jau ir pārskaitīti), SAEA ir griezusies pie starptautiskiem līdzekļu devējiem, tostarp pie ES, ar lūgumu dot ieguldījumu arī Zaibersdorfas kodolierīču laboratorijas modernizācijā.

Ekspertu līmenī Eiropas Komisija sadarbībā ar SAEA ir uzsākusi procesu, lai izvērtētu, cik atbilstoša lietotāju vajadzībām ir SAEA uzturētā nelikumīgās tirdzniecības datu bāze (Illicit Trafficking Database – ITDB), un atbalstītu tās uzlabošanu. Ir izstrādāts un tiks iesniegts SAEA paraugprakses dokuments par saskaņotu ziņošanas kultūru. Lai modernizētu paziņošanas līdzekļus, 2013. gada oktobrī sāka izstrādāt tīmekļa negadījumu paziņošanas veidlapu (web-INF – Incident Notification Form), un šis darbs tiks pabeigts 2014. gadā.

Līdzekļi, ko Eiropas Savienības saskaņā ar I –IV vienoto rīcību un Padomes Lēmumu V ir nodrošinājusi SAEA, ir palīdzējuši attīstīt SAEA centienus stiprināt kodoldrošību trešās valstīs, prioritāti piešķirot tām valstīm, kurām visvairāk ir jāuzlabo sava radioaktīvo materiālu un kodolmateriālu kontrole, un tādējādi palīdzot samazināt apdraudējumu. Centieni bija vērsti uz to, lai stiprinātu valstu likumdošanas un reglamentēšanas infrastruktūru, kas saistīta ar kodolmateriāliem un citiem radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, kodoldrošības pasākumiem, kurus piemēro izmantošanā esošajiem kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, to uzglabāšanai un transportam un ar to saistītajām iekārtām, un lai stiprinātu valstu spējas rīkoties attiecībā uz kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, kas nav valstu regulatīvajā kontrolē, tādējādi atbalstītajām valstīm dodot iespēju izpildīt savus valsts un starptautiskos pienākumus. Jaunākais Padomes Lēmums (SAEA VI, 2013/517/KĀDP), kas pieņemts 2013. gada 21. oktobrī, palīdz vēl vairāk uzlabot kodoldrošību visā pasaulē un nostiprināt Eiropas drošību, piedāvājot atbalstu SAEA darbībām, kas tiek veiktas saistībā ar Kodoldrošības plānu (2014–2017), galvenokārt iepriekš minētajās jomās.

1.3.   Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT)

ES ir aktīvi veicinājusi Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) drīzu stāšanos spēkā, balstoties uz attiecīgajiem Padomes lēmumiem (Lēmums 2010/461/KĀDP (2010. gada 26. jūlijs) un Lēmums 2012/699/KĀDP (2012. gada 13. novembris)), lai atbalstītu Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizāciju (CTBTO), un šādā nolūkā rīkojot izpratnes veicināšanas centienus, kas vērsti uz visām valstīm, kuras vēl nav parakstījušas vai ratificējušas CTBT, tostarp atlikušajām 2. pielikumā minētajām valstīm, kurām līgums ir jāratificē, lai tas varētu stāties spēkā. ES turpinās uzlabot informētību par CTBT dažādās situācijās, tostarp politiskā dialoga sanāksmēs, lai radītu turpmāku impulsu minētā līguma ratificēšanai.

Šādā gaisotnē īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos un Eiropas Komisijas pārstāvji piedalījās CTBTO reģionālajā konferencē, kas Āzijas valstīm tika rīkota no 19. līdz 21. maijam Džakartā. Konferences rīkošanā piedalījās Indonēzijas iestādes, un to finansiāli atbalstīja ES un Japāna. ES pārstāvji uzstājās ar piezīmēm, kurās tika uzsvērts gan ES politiskais un finansiālais atbalsts CTBT universalizācijai, gan tā faktiskai īstenošanai, kā arī ES pieredze radiācijas avārijas datu apmaiņā, uzsverot CTBTO starptautiskās uzraudzības sistēmas izmantošanu civilos nolūkos un tās sniegtos ieguvumus.

KTDR 2013. gada 12. februārī veiktais kodolizmēģinājums un iespējamu turpmāku izmēģinājumu risks ir skaidri pierādījuši, cik patiesībā svarīga ir CTBTO Starptautiskās uzraudzības sistēma, kas ir vēl viens projekts, kurš patlaban tiek attīstīts un ko ES atbalsta ar Padomes lēmumiem. Ir mobilizētas CTBTO grupas, lai visām CTBT parakstījušajām valstīm sniegtu attiecīgos operatīvos datus, kas vajadzīgi lēmumu pieņēmēju informēšanai. Centieni saistībā ar 321 papildu seismiskās stacijas uzturēšanu, ko atbalsta ar vienotajām rīcībām/Padomes lēmumiem I–V, un CTBTO Starptautiskā datu centra izveide (kurš vāc, analizē un izplata datus, kas nāk no staciju tīkla) sekmēs nepieciešamo sistēmas ilgtspēju. Turklāt ir ārkārtīgi svarīgi sniegt atbalstu CTBTO pagaidu tehniskajam sekretariātam turpmāku tādu izmēģinājumu veikšanā kā otrais integrētais lauka izmēģinājums, kas 2014. gada novembrī/decembrī tiks rīkots Jordānijā, lai testētu un uzlabotu operatīvās spējas saistībā ar OSI režīmu.

Ir sākts izpētes darbs, un tas turpināsies, lai ar ES finansējumu turpinātu atbalstīt CTBTO sagatavošanas komitejas darbības.

1.4.   Reģionāli jautājumi (Irāna, KTDR)

ES ir pilnībā ievērojusi savu apņemšanos saistībā ar pašreizējiem centieniem, kuru mērķis ir sarunu ceļā panākt Irānas kodoljautājuma diplomātisku risinājumu, balstoties uz KNL un visu atbilstīgo ANO Drošības padomes (ANO DP) un SAEA Valdes rezolūciju pilnīgu īstenošanu. Pagaidu nolīgums, tā dēvētais kopīgais rīcības plāns, par kuru E3/ES+3 un Irāna panāca vienošanos 2013. gada novembrī Ženēvā, stājās spēkā 2014. gada 20. janvārī saskaņā ar Ārlietu padomes lēmumu. Pēc tam, kad bija sākta kopīgā rīcības plāna īstenošana, ES Augstā pārstāve kopā ar E3+3 valstu (Ķīna, Francija, Vācija, Krievija, Apvienotā Karaliste un Amerikas Savienotās Valstis) politiskiem direktoriem sāka sarunas ar Irānu ar mērķi rast ilgtermiņa visaptverošu risinājumu Irānas kodoljautājumam, kā tas ir paredzēts kopīgajā rīcības plānā. Kopš tā laika ir notikušas vairākas sarunu kārtas gan politiskā, gan ekspertu līmenī. Līdztekus E3/ES+3 darbības virzienam SAEA un Irāna turpināja sadarbības sistēmas ietvaros uzsākto sadarbību, lai atrisinātu visus pašreizējos un iepriekšējos jautājumus, tostarp tos, kas ir saistīti ar iespējamām militārām dimensijām. Februārī un maijā SAEA un Irāna vienojās par virkni praktisku pasākumu, kas Irānai jāīsteno, savukārt citi vēl atklātie jautājumi joprojām gaida risinājumu.

Eiropas Savienībai bažas joprojām rada Irānas ballistisko raķešu programmas un pasākumi un objektīvie riski, kas ir saistīti ar raķešu kodollādiņu izstrādi, un tā ir stingri izlēmusi, ka ir pilnībā jāatrisina visi jautājumi, kas minēti ANO DP Rezolūcijās 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 un 1929. 2013. gada novembra kopīgajā rīcības plānā ir paredzēts, ka Irānas kodolkrīzes ilgtermiņa risinājumā būs jāaptver arī ANO DP rezolūcijas, kuras cita starpā attiecas uz ballistiskajām raķetēm, kas spēj nest kodolieročus.

Attiecībā uz KTDR ES ir turpinājusi mudināt KTDR ievērot saistības, ko šī valsts ir uzņēmusies saskaņā ar attiecīgajām ANO DP rezolūcijām, cita starpā pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski pārtraukt visas savas pastāvošās kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmas. ES ir turpinājusi aicināt KTDR atkal nodrošināt pilnīgu atbilstību KNL un SAEA drošības pasākumu saistībām un saskaņā ar SAEA lūgumu nodrošināt tai piekļuvi atsevišķām personām, dokumentācijai, aprīkojumam un iekārtām. ES ir nemitīgi atbalstījusi sešu pušu sarunu procesa atsākšanu un ir aicinājusi KTDR atkal iesaistīties ticamās un patiesās starptautiskās sarunās. Papildus ANO DP rezolūciju īstenošanai ES ir ieviesusi arī papildu autonomus ierobežojošus pasākumus, tostarp stingrāku kontroli attiecībā uz divējāda lietojuma precēm un parasto ieroču izplatīšanu. ES atjaunoja aicinājumu KTDR, mudinot to ratificēt CTBT un atturēties no turpmākām provokācijām.

ES joprojām ir ārkārtīgi nobažījusies par KTDR ļoti attīstīto tehnoloģiju ballistisko raķešu jomā, jo īpaši par tās tāla darbības rādiusa raķešu projektiem. KTDR turpina neievērot ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 un 2094, un viens šāds pārkāpums nesen ir konstatēts saistībā ar jauniem ballistisko raķešu izmēģinājumiem 2014. gada 26. martā. Šāda rīcība nopietni apdraud mieru un stabilitāti reģionā, un to stingri nosodīja Augstās pārstāves runaspersona.

2.   ATBRUŅOŠANĀS KONFERENCE/LĪGUMS PAR AIZLIEGUMU RAŽOT KODOLIEROČU UN CITU KODOLSPRĀDZIENIERĪČU IZSTRĀDEI PAREDZĒTUS SKALDMATERIĀLUS

ANO 68. ĢA Pirmās komitejas rezolūcijā attiecībā uz ziņojumu par Atbruņošanās konferenci, kuru iesniedza Īrija, Atbruņošanās konference tika aicināta rast izeju no strupceļa, pieņemot un īstenojot līdzsvarotu un visaptverošu darba programmu. Tajā atzinīgi tiek vērtēts Lēmums CD/1956/Rev.1, ar ko darba programmas izstrādei tiek izveidota neoficiāla darba grupa. ES vairākas reizes pauda cerības, ka neoficiālā darba grupa panāks konkrētus un faktiskus rezultātus. ES arī skaidri norādīja, ka saskaņā ar tās dalībvalstu ilgstošajām saistībām paplašināt Atbruņošanās konferenci, tā stingri atbalsta īpaša par līdzdalības paplašināšanu atbildīga koordinatora iecelšanu. Ievērojot Eiropas Savienības attiecību veidošanu ar pilsonisko sabiedrību, ES atbalsta arī uzlabotu pilsoniskās sabiedrības mijiedarbību ar Atbruņošanās konferenci, tādējādi pastiprinot NVO un pētniecības institūtu ieguldījumu konferences darbā.

Viena no ES prioritātēm joprojām ir Atbruņošanās konferencē nekavējoties sākt sarunas attiecībā uz Līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus, pamatojoties uz dokumentu CD/1299 un tajā ietverto pilnvarojumu, un panākt drīzu sarunu noslēgumu. Šāds līgums būtu nozīmīgs elements jebkurā sistēmā, lai saskaņā ar KNL mērķiem panāktu no kodolieročiem brīvu pasauli un šādu stāvokli saglabātu. ES ar interesi gaida, kādi rezultāti tiks gūti sanāksmēs, kurās tiekas valdības ekspertu grupa, kura tika izveidota ar Ģenerālās asamblejas Rezolūciju 67/53.

3.   ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

Svarīgs jautājums Ķīmisko ieroču aizliegšanas organizācijas (OPCW) darba kārtībā joprojām bija Sīrija. Lai arī Sīrijas gadījums ir OPCW devis līdz šim nebijušu iespēju pārbaudīt savu sadarbību ar ANO, iegūt starptautisku atzinību (Nobela Miera prēmiju) un plašāku starptautisku atbalstu, vienlaikus tā ir piesaistījusi cilvēkresursus un finanšu resursus un izraisījusi ar drošību saistītas bažas. Sīrijas ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanai Eiropas Savienība ir OPCW piešķīrusi kopumā vairāk nekā EUR 16 miljonus. Šādā nolūkā ES sinerģiski izmantoja tās rīcībā esošos finanšu instrumentus (KĀDP un Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu) un sniedza gan ieguldījumu natūrā (bruņotus transportlīdzekļus un satelītattēlus), gan finanšu ieguldījumu (EUR 12 miljoni OPCW trasta fondā).

Pēc Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas (CWC) trešās pārskatīšanas konferences ES galveno uzmanību turpināja pievērst savām prioritātēm, proti: i) pabeigt esošo ieroču uzkrājumu iznīcināšanu; ii) veicināt CWC universālumu (2013. gada 14. oktobrī Sīrija kļuva par 190. šīs konvencijas līgumslēdzēju valsti); iii) pievērst lielāku uzmanību centieniem novērst ieroču izplatīšanu; iv) sekmēt spēju veidošanu attiecībā uz jaunattīstības valstu ķīmiskās rūpniecības drošību un nekaitīgumu saskaņā ar XI pantu un reaģēt uz ķīmisko ieroču izmantošanu saskaņā ar X pantu.

Lai gan vairāki CWC sākotnējie pamatuzdevumi vēl pilnībā nav izpildīti, ES un tās dalībvalstis ir sākušas pārdomu procesu par iespēju nošķirt posmu, kas seko ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanai, un ir pakāpeniski sākušas apsvērt problēmas, kas ir saistītas ar konvencijas turpmāku atbilstību un līdz ar to – tās efektivitāti. Jaunam varbūtējam Padomes lēmumam, atbalstot OPCW, vajadzētu būt pamatotam ar šiem apsvērumiem.

Ar ES delegāciju starpniecību ES veica demaršus 48 valstīs, lai tiešā dialogā ar attiecīgajām iestādēm atvieglotu un veicinātu likumdošanas procesu, tādējādi paātrinot tiesību aktu pieņemšanu (saskaņā ar konvencijas VII pantu). Ar ziņojumu par šo demaršu rezultātu ir iepazīstinātas dalībvalstis kompetentajā darba grupā (CODUN) un OPCW.

Attiecībā uz ES atbalsta ietekmi visas valstis, kas bija atlasītas atbalsta saņemšanai, to izmantoja, lai novērstu būtiskus tehniskus trūkumus, tādējādi dodot šīm līgumslēdzējām valstīm iespēju gūt ievērojamus panākumus CWC īstenošanā valstu līmenī. Konkrēti var teikt, ka ES Padomes lēmumi joprojām ir vienīgais iespējamais līdzeklis, lai sniegtu šāda veida palīdzību īstenošanas trūkumu novēršanai. No 90 valsts īstenošanas apakšprojektiem, ko OPCW Tehniskais sekretariāts ir veicis pēdējos gados, apmēram pusi nevarētu īstenot bez vienotajās rīcībās/Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem.

Attiecībā uz ES prioritāti – veicināt universālumu – kopš pirmās vienotās rīcības pieņemšanas konvencijai ir pievienojušās kopumā 19 valstis, un četras no tām, kuras konvencijai pievienojās 2005. gadā, ir bijušas iesaistītas kādā no izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumiem, kas tika finansēti no vienotajās rīcībās/Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem; tas pats attiecas uz visām valstīm, kas konvencijai pievienojās nākamajos gados.

4.   BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

Pēc septītās Bioloģisko un toksisko ieroču konvencijas (BTIK) pārskatīšanas konferences (Ženēva, 2011. gada decembris) ES ir konstruktīvi iesaistījusies starpsanāksmju procesā, sagatavojot paziņojumus un konkrētus darba dokumentus par šādiem jautājumiem: 1) starptautiska sadarbība un palīdzība; 2) īstenošanas pastiprināšana valstu līmenī; 3) spēju veidošana bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības jomā. ES delegācija iesniedza ES paziņojumus ekspertu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2013. gada 12.–16. augusts) un līgumslēdzēju dalībvalstu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2013. gada 9.–13. decembris). Pēdējā minētajā sanāksmē tika iesniegta pārskatīta un atjaunināta redakcija ES darba dokumentam par X pantu – Sadarbība un palīdzība.

Kā piemērus ES rīcības rezultātiem 2014. gada pirmajā pusē var minēt: lielākas informētības par BTIK veicināšana Āzijā un Latīņamerikā, tostarp labāka BTIK izpratne attiecīgajās valsts iestādēs un/vai pastiprināta apakšreģionālu sakaru veidošana, un brīvprātīgas BTIK īstenošanas pirms ratifikācijas veicināšana.

Īstenojot Padomes Lēmumu 2012/421/KĀDP (2012. gada 23. jūlijs), saskaņā ar palīdzības programmām rīkotie valstu darbsemināri uzlaboja izpratni par BTIK attiecīgajās valstu iestādēs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā, stiprināja reģionālos sakarus BTIK īstenošanas nolūkos, un ar to palīdzību tika apzinātas vajadzības, kas nepieciešamas BTIK īstenošanas uzlabošanai. Šādus darbseminārus ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs rīkoja Kolumbijā (2014. gada 6. un 7. martā, 12. un 13. jūnijā), Mongolijā (2014. gada 29. aprīlī) un Nepālā (2014. gada 20. un 21. februārī, 9. un 10. jūnijā).

Jāpiemin arī, ka viens Ekvadoras pārstāvis piedalījās Spānijā rīkotās mācībās par aizsardzības pasākumiem un bioloģiskā riska pārvaldību (2014. gada 31. martā – 4. aprīlī) un likumdošanas eksperti Nepālai palīdzēja uzlabot normatīvos un administratīvos pasākumus (2013. gada 11.–13. jūnijā).

ES ir iesaistīta arī bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības uzlabojumu veicināšanā. 2013. gada 18. novembrī pieņemtajā Padomes Lēmumā 2013/668/KĀDP ir paredzēti vairāk nekā EUR 1,7 miljoni, lai ar Pasaules Veselības organizācijas tehniskās ekspertīzes starpniecību atbalstītu projektus, kuru mērķis ir dažās izraudzītās līgumslēdzējās dalībvalstīs veicināt bioloģiskā apdraudējuma apzināšanos, laboratoriju bioloģiskā apdraudējuma pārvaldību un valsts stratēģiju izstrādi attiecībā uz laboratorijām.

5.   BALLISTISKĀS RAĶETES

ES uzskata, ka Hāgas rīcības kodekss pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) ir unikāls daudzpusējs instruments, kura mērķis ir ar pārredzamības un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumiem ierobežot ballistisko raķešu sistēmu un ar tām saistītu tehnoloģiju izplatīšanu, un kopš kodeksa pieņemšanas Eiropas Savienība ir to stingri atbalstījusi. Visas ES dalībvalstis ir parakstījušas minēto kodeksu. ES ir turpinājusi sekmēt un atbalstīt kodeksa trīs aspektus: universālumu, īstenošanu un pastiprinātu un uzlabotu darbību.

Balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2012/423/KĀDP, ar ko tiek atbalstīts HCoC un raķešu neizplatīšana kopumā, 2014. gada 28. maijā līdztekus HCoC ikgadējai kārtējai sanāksmei ES rīkoja izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumu Vīnē, kura mērķis bija atbalstīt HCoC. Pirmais reģionālais seminārs notika 2013. gada novembrī Singapūrā, otrais tika rīkots 2014. gada aprīlī Abū Dabī, un pēdējais notiks 2014. gada jūlijā Limā (Peru).

Tika nodrošināta ES pamanāmība, ko cita starpā veicināja ES delegācijas vadītāja piedalīšanās un skaidras atsauces uz ES finansējumu, ko pieminēja gandrīz visi runātāji. Tika izmantoti inovatīvi risinājumi, nodrošinot pasākuma tiešraidi un diskusijas internetā. EĀDD sagatavoja un vadīja ES koordinācijas sanāksmi, kas tika rīkota HCoC ikgadējās kārtējās sanāksmes sakarā 2014. gada 29. un 30. maijā Vīnē, un 29. maijā ES nāca klajā ar paziņojumu.

Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma (MTCR) pastiprināto kontaktpunktu 2014. gada sanāksme notika 14. un 15. maijā Parīzē, un arī šajā reizē ES nāca klajā ar paziņojumu.

EĀDD piedalījās izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumos, kurus MTCR priekšsēdētājs vadīja Singapūrā un Malaizijā 2014. gada aprīlī, kur ES nāca klajā ar paziņojumu.

6.   
  CBRN RISKU MAZINĀŠANA

ES turpināja gūt panākumus attiecībā uz Eiropas Savienības 2009. gadā pieņemtā CBRN (ķīmiskā, bioloģiskā, radioloģiskā un kodolapdraudējuma) rīcības plāna īstenošanu, un līdz šim ar Noziedzības profilakses un apkarošanas (ISEC) programmu ir atbalstīti aptuveni 30 projekti.

Turklāt, veicot pētniecību, kas aptver krīžu pārvarēšanas ciklu kopumā (no novēršanas līdz atjaunošanas darbiem), CBRN rīcības plānam zinātnisku un tehnisku atbalstu sniedz ar CBRN saistīti pētniecības projekti, kuri saskaņā ar Septīto pamatprogrammu tiek finansēti ar Drošas sabiedrības programmas starpniecību. Notiek arī pasākumi, lai šajā jomā apzinātu standartizācijas vajadzības, kuru rezultātā varētu tikt izstrādāti “Eiropas normu” standarti. Nākamā programma “Apvārsnis 2020” (2014–2020) pastiprinās pašreizējos CBRN centienus pētniecības jomā, izmantojot koncentrētus tematus, kuru darba programma tika pieņemta 2013. gada 10. decembrī.

2012. gada progresa ziņojumā par rīcības plāna īstenošanu tika izcelti galvenie panākumi, jo īpaši attiecībā uz pastiprinātu informācijas un paraugprakses apmaiņu, kopīgu mācību pasākumu rīkošanu un uz vienošanos par trim ES paaugstināta riska vielu sarakstiem attiecīgi ķīmijas, bioloģijas, kā arī radioloģijas un kodolmateriālu jomā.

Lai sagatavotu turpmāko gadu politikas redzējumu, Komisija ir iecerējusi 2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā nākt klajā paziņojumu par jaunu visaptverošu ES CBRN-E (Sprāgstvielas) programmu, kurā galvenā uzmanība būs veltīta ierobežotam skaitam prioritāru jomu, kuras Eiropas Savienībai nepārprotami nodrošina pievienotu vērtību.

Lai pašreizējo rīcības plānu īstenotu līdz 2015. gadam un lai izstrādātu jauno CBRN-E programmu, Komisija cieši sadarbojas ar dalībvalstu iestādēm un citām attiecīgajām ieinteresētajām personām CBRN-E padomdevēju grupā un tās apakšgrupās, kuras tiekas regulāri.

2014. gada maijā Eiropas Komisija pieņēma Paziņojumu par jaunu ES pieeju CBRN-E risku atklāšanai un mazināšanai (dokuments COM(2014) 247 final). Šajā paziņojumā Komisija ierosina veicināt praktisku sadarbību CBRN-E risku atklāšanai un mazināšanai ES līmenī, tostarp sadarboties ar rūpniecības nozari, tādu iekārtu operatoriem, kuras darbojas ar CBRN-E materiāliem (aprīkojuma ražotājiem un pakalpojumu sniedzējiem drošības jomā), un citām ieinteresētām personām. Dokumentā ir ietverts 30 darbību kopums, kuras dažādiem Komisijas dienestiem sadarbībā ar dalībvalstīm ir jāīsteno vistuvākajā laikā. Tiks sagatavoti konkrēti rīki – norāžu materiāli, mācību un informētības palielināšanas darbības – un testēšanas pasākumi.

2010. gada maijā ES sāka iniciatīvu “ES CBRN izcilības centri”, kas tiek finansēta ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta starpniecību. ES CBRN izcilības centri tiek veidoti, reaģējot uz atzinumu, ka vairākās valstīs iestāžu spējas nav pietiekamas, lai mazinātu CBRN risku, proti: noziedzīgas darbības (CBRN izplatīšana vai terorisms), dabīgus cēloņus (zoonoze un epidēmijas) un negadījumu izraisītas katastrofas (negadījumi rūpniecībā). To mērķis ir valsts un reģionālā līmenī izstrādāt visa veida apdraudējumus aptverošu CBRN politiku, lai šos riskus paredzētu un uz tiem reaģētu. Īsumā – tie ir strukturāli pasākumi, lai mazinātu valstu neaizsargātību pret notikumiem, kas ir saistīti ar CBRN, darbojoties gan reģionu, gan ES drošības interesēs.

Lai panāktu šo mērķi, ir jāatbalsta reģionālu ekspertu tīklu izveide tiesiskos, reglamentējošos, tehniskos, kontroles un īstenošanas jautājumos attiecībā uz CBRN risku mazināšanu.

Tiek veidoti septiņi reģionāli centri: 1. Ziemeļāfrikā (Alžīra), 2. Āfrikas daļā, kas atrodas pie Atlantijas okeāna (Rabata), 3. Tuvajos Austrumos (Ammāna), 4. Dienvidaustrumeiropā – Dienvidkaukāzā – Moldovas Republikā – Ukrainā (Tbilisi), 5. Dienvidaustrumāzijā (Manila), 6. Subsahāras Āfrikā (Nairobi) un 7. Persijas līča valstīs (Abū Dabī), un tie ir sākuši darbu. Nākamais solis būs reģionāla sekretariāta atvēršana Vidusāzijā (Taškentā – tiks precizēts). Papildus 33 projektiem, kuriem iepriekš jau piešķirti kopumā EUR 26 miljoni, ar dažādiem konsorcijiem – tostarp no dalībvalstīm – tiek slēgti līgumi par jauniem projektiem, kuru kopsumma ir aptuveni EUR 10 miljoni.

7.   IDEJU LABORATORIJAS

Balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP (2010. gada 26. jūlijs), ES darbu saistībā ar ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai aktīvi atbalstīja ES Ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs, kas sāka darboties 2011. gada janvārī. 10. martā tika pieņemts jauns lēmums, ar kuru konsorcija darbība tika pagarināta vēl uz trim gadiem, gan balstoties uz 2011.–2013. gadā gūtajiem sasniegumiem un pieredzi, gan pievienojot jaunus un inovatīvus projektus. Proti: ad hoc semināri, kuru skaits nepārsniegs 7 (paredzēti četrdesmit piecām mērķtiecīgi un katrā konkrētajā gadījumā individuāli atlasītām personām; semināri notiks ES; līdz 3 semināriem var rīkot ārpus ES); palīdzības dienests līdz divdesmit 5–10 lappušu garu politikas dokumentu sagatavošanai divu nedēļu laikā pēc EĀDD pieprasījuma; izglītības rīks par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos (universitāšu lietošanai paredzēta Eiropas mācību programma tiešsaistē, kam jābūt pieejamai 24 mēnešus pēc līguma sākuma).

Pēc 2011.–2013. gadā organizētajiem sekmīgajiem pasākumiem šogad 4. un 5. septembrī tiks rīkota jauna gadskārtēja starptautiska konference par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos. Briselē ir notikuši divi ad hoc semināri par šādiem tematiem: BTIK un atbilstība (24. aprīlī), no MII brīvas zonas izveide Tuvajos Austrumos (18. un 19. jūnijā).

Ietekmes ziņā konsorcija pasākumi ir uzlabojuši ES popularitāti trešās valstīs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā un būtiski palīdzējuši veidot ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā. Konsorcijs nodrošina platformu neoficiālai speciālistu saziņai un palīdz sekmēt dialogu starp dažādām ieinteresētajām personām. Konsorcija tīklā ir vairāk nekā 60 ideju laboratorijas visā Eiropā. Tā darbība ir palīdzējusi palielināt informētību par problēmām, kas ir saistītas ar kodolieročiem, ķīmiskajiem un bioloģiskajiem ieročiem.

8.   APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA 1540 UN EKSPORTA KONTROLE

a)   ANO DP Rezolūcija 1540

Padomes lēmumu, kuru ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 atbalstam Padome pieņēma 2013. gada 22. jūlijā, īsteno ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs, kas rīko reģionālus darbseminārus un valstu atbalsta apmeklējumus visā pasaulē. Šā Padomes lēmuma īstenošana palīdz pastiprināt attiecīgos valstu un reģionu centienus, palīdz praksē īstenot ieteikumus, kas iekļauti 2009. gada vispārējā pārskatā par ANO DPR 1540 īstenošanas statusu, un pēc valstu lūguma ierosina un izstrādā valstu rīcības plānus.

ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs ir parakstījis nolīgumu ar EDSO, ar kura palīdzību tiktu radīta sinerģija ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 atbalstīšanai. Arī tādēļ, lai izvairītos no iespējamas dublēšanās, ir jātiecas pēc sinerģijas un koordinācijas arī ar ES CBRN izcilības centriem. Ar ES līdzekļu atbalstu jau ir sarīkoti četri pasākumi, un piektais 2014. gada 26.–27. jūnijā notika Horvātijā.

b)   eksporta kontrole

Eiropas Komisija pabeidza ES eksporta kontroles režīma pārskatīšanas trešo posmu, 2014. gada 24 aprīlī pieņemot Komisijas paziņojumu, kura mērķis ir noteikt ES eksporta kontroles virzienu. Šajā paziņojumā ir formulēti konkrēti politikas risinājumi eksporta kontroles modernizēšanai un tās pielāgošanai strauji mainīgajiem tehnoloģiju, ekonomikas un politikas apstākļiem. Pirms konkrētu iniciatīvu īstenošanas Komisija tagad aicina Padomi un Eiropas Parlamentu apsvērt šajā paziņojumā izklāstīto pieeju. Vienlaikus Komisija veiks šajā paziņojumā minēto pārskatīšanas risinājumu “ietekmes novērtējumu”, lai konstatētu piemērotākās reglamentējošās un nereglamentējošās darbības to īstenošanai.

Attiecībā uz regulējumu tika sekmīgi pabeigtas sarunas par priekšlikumu grozīt ES Regulu Nr. 428/2009, kas attiecas uz divējāda lietojuma precēm, atbildību par ES kontroles sarakstu atjaunināšanu deleģējot Komisijai ar mērķi šāda veida atjaunināšanu paātrināt, un grozošā regula (Nr. 599/2014) 2014. gada 12. jūnijā tika publicēta ES Oficiālajā Vēstnesī. Tāpēc Komisija sāks gatavoties kontroles saraksta atjaunināšanai 2014. gada otrajā pusgadā.

Eksporta kontroles īstenošanu sekmēja trīs Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupas sanāksmes 2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā, kurās uzmanība jo īpaši tika pievērsta jaunu funkciju ieviešanai Divējāda lietojuma preču elektroniskajā sistēmā.

ES koordinēja savu darbību, lai panāktu lielāku atbalstu ES nostājām, par kurām bija panākta vienošanās, 2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā rīkotajās attiecīgajās sanāksmēs par eksporta kontroles režīmu (Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupa NSG): konsultatīvajā grupā 2014. gada aprīlī Vīnē, kā arī pirms NSG 2014. gada plenārsēžu nedēļas, kas notika Buenosairesā 23.–27. jūnijā, un tās laikā; Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms (MTCR): pastiprināto kontaktpunktu sanāksmē 2014. gada maijā Parīzē, Austrālijas grupa: plenārsēdē 2014. gada jūnijā Parīzē).

Joprojām tika īstenota ES Eksporta kontroles izpratnes uzlabošanas programma, lai stiprinātu (23) trešo valstu administratīvās un tehniskās spējas rīkoties ar divējāda lietojuma precēm. Izpratnes veicināšanas programma ir parādījusi, ka labi norit sadarbība ar Ķīnas eksporta kontroles iestādēm, kuras rezultātā tika publicēta kopīga eksporta kontroles rokasgrāmata. Pēc tam īpaša uzmanība tika veltīta eksporta kontroles pasākumu izveidošanai ar Jordāniju un Kazahstānu. Šī programma tiek finansēta saskaņā ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu.

9.   KOSMOSS

Kopš 2007. gada ES ir veicinājusi to, lai tiktu izstrādāts starptautisks Rīcības kodekss par kosmosā veiktām darbībām. Šis starptautiskais un brīvprātīgais pamatnostādņu kopums un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumi stiprinātu visu kosmosā veikto darbību drošumu, drošību un paredzamību. Ar šādām pamatnostādnēm būtu cita starpā jāierobežo vai līdz minimumam jāsamazina kaitīgi traucējumi, sadursmes vai negadījumi kosmosā, kā arī atkritumu radīšana. Kodeksā būtu izklāstīti pamatnoteikumi, kas kosmosa apguves valstīm ir jāievēro, veicot gan civilas, gan militāras darbības kosmosā.

Pēc 2013. gada 16. un 17. maijā Kijevā notikušajām beztermiņa konsultācijām par projekta tekstu, kurās piedalījās aptuveni 140 pārstāvji no 61 valsts, teksts tika pārskatīts. Otrā konsultāciju kārta par pārskatīto tekstu notika 2013. gada 20.–22. novembrī Bangkokā, un tajā piedalījās 66 valstis un organizācijas un 133 dalībnieki. Lai procesu padarītu pārredzamāku un iekļaujošāku, īpašais sūtnis rīkoja konsultācijas ar ievērojamu skaitu valstu, tostarp pirms Bangkokas konsultācijām apmeklēja Pekinu un Maskavu. Trešā un pēdējā konsultāciju kārta notika 2014. gada 27. un 28. maijā Luksemburgā, un tajā piedalījās 61 valsts. Šajā sanāksmē ES starptautisko kopienu iepazīstināja ar jaunu projektu, kas bija virknes divpusēju un daudzpusēju konsultāciju rezultātā tapusi konsolidēta redakcija. Šī sanāksme viesa cerības, jo tajā notika padziļinātas diskusijas par pašu tekstu, kā arī uz nākotni vērstas diskusijas par turpmākajiem soļiem ceļā uz šā kodeksa pieņemšanu.

10.   MII NEIZPLATĪŠANAS KLAUZULAS

Saskaņā ar savu MII neizplatīšanas stratēģiju ES turpināja savās līgumiskajās attiecībās ar trešām valstīm integrēt MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu.

Ir notikušas turpmākas sarunas par MII neizplatīšanas klauzulām attiecīgajos nolīgumos starp ES un trešām valstīm, it īpaši Bruneju, Japānu un Malaiziju. Šīs sarunas palīdz uzlabot izpratni par ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā un veido forumu, lai uzlabotu savstarpējo sapratni par attiecīgajām nostājām, apzinātu nākotnē iespējamās sadarbības jomas un mudinātu partnervalstis konkrētai virzībai uz priekšu attiecībā uz starptautisku neizplatīšanas režīmu.

11.   CITI DAUDZPUSĒJI FORUMI

G8/G7

ES turpināja aktīvi piedalīties ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksmēs, kas notika vispirms Sanktpēterburgā un pēc tam Ņujorkā.

Deviņus gadus pēc tam, kad 2002. gadā tika izveidota Globālā partnerība, tā ir paplašinājusies, pārsniedzot G8 valstu skaitu, un kļuvusi par koordinācijas un sadarbības platformu, kas tagad aptver vēl 20 partnerus. Dovilas samitā 2011. gada maijā līderi vienojās turpināt stiprināt bioloģisko drošību, Rezolūcijas 1540 īstenošanu un kodoldrošību. ASV 2012. gadā, Apvienotā Karaliste 2013. gadā un Krievija līdz tās izslēgšanai no G8 2014. gadā turpināja risināt šos jautājumus, jo īpaši Globālās partnerības darba grupā stiprinot piecas esošās darba apakšgrupas, kas aptver bioloģisko drošību, ķīmisko drošību, kodoldrošību, izcilības centrus un izpratnes veicināšanu un paplašināšanos. Globālās partnerības veida darbs turpinās pēc Krievijas izslēgšanas. Darba apakšgrupā izcilības centru jautājumos, kas darbojas Globālās partnerības ietvaros, ES izcilības centru darbs joprojām ir ļoti pamanāms; tas jo īpaši ir noderīgs kā rīks, ar kura palīdzību veicināt informācijas apmaiņu reģionālā līmenī un, iespējams, novērst līdzekļu devēju darba dublēšanos.

Starptautiskais Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centrs

ES aktīvi piedalījās sarunās par to, lai tiktu pieņemts atjaunināts nolīgums par Starptautisko Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru (ISTC). ISTC mērķis ir panākt, lai zinātnieki un inženieri, kuriem ir zināšanas par divējāda lietojuma precēm, iesaistītos mierīga rakstura pētniecības pasākumos vai komerciālās programmās ar ES un citiem partneriem. Centrs tiecas panākt, lai zināšanas par divējāda lietojuma precēm tiktu izmantotas arī turpmāk, attiecīgo zinātnieku darbībai piešķirot jaunu virzienu un jaunu pielietojumu. Sarunu gaitā ES uzsvēra, ka ir nepieciešams tāds nolīgums, kas ISTC ļautu īstenot projektus, kuri palīdzētu efektīvi risināt problēmas ar ieroču izplatīšanu saistītās jomās, tostarp Tuvējos Austrumos. 2014. gada jūnijā tika oficiāli atklāts ISTC jaunais galvenais birojs Astanā.

12.   POLITISKĀ DIALOGA SANĀKSMES

Īpašais sūtnis rīkoja politiskā dialoga sanāksmes par ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumiem ar Krieviju, ASV, Japānu un Argentīnu. Viņš sāka dialogu par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos ar Indiju (16. maijā Ņūdeli) un Pakistānu (16. jūnijā Islamabadā). Viņš arī sarīkoja virkni citu divpusēju konsultāciju ar dažādiem dalībniekiem, tostarp līdztekus svarīgiem pasākumiem, piemēram, līdztekus G8 ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksmei Sanktpēterburgā (ar Japānu), līdztekus KNL sagatavošanas komitejas 2014. gada sanāksmei Ņujorkā (ar ASV, Japānu, Ķīnu, Ēģipti, Norvēģiju, Šveici, Arābu valstu līgu, ANO Atbruņošanās lietu biroju), kā arī ar Indonēziju (2014. gada maijā Džakartā).

Implementation of Projects CBRN — 3rd call: #77 #111 #114

The overall objective is the enhancement of the RN security situation in the countries of concern (with a spin-off towards chemical detection under P77). Such concern needs to be addressed in a systematic manner and with interventions at quite a few different levels. Also the ‘action radius’ of the interventions needs to be described (to assure the proper engagement of the key actors).
