ŠESTOMJESEČNO IZVJEŠĆE O NAPRETKU PROVEDBE STRATEGIJE EU-A ZA SPREČAVANJE ŠIRENJA ORUŽJA ZA MASOVNO UNIŠTENJE (2014/I)

2014/C 266/01

UVOD

U skladu sa Strategijom EU-a za sprečavanje širenja oružja za masovno uništenje, koju je Europsko vijeće usvojilo u prosincu 2003. (dok. 15708/03), predviđena je izrada izvješća o napretku provedbe Strategije svakih šest mjeseci. Ovo izvješće o napretku obuhvaća aktivnosti provedene u prvoj polovici 2014.

Vodeća načela EU-a u ovom području, u skladu s ciljevima Europske sigurnosne strategije, Strategije EU-a za sprečavanje širenja OMU-a i novih pravaca djelovanja (dok.17172/08), i dalje su:

| i. | učinkoviti multilateralizam, uključujući promicanje univerzalnosti međunarodnih ugovora, konvencija i drugih instrumenata i njihova provedba na nacionalnoj razini, putem diplomatskog djelovanja i financijske pomoći trećim zemljama i međunarodnim organizacijama; |

iii.

učinkovita i komplementarna upotreba svih dostupnih instrumenata i financijskih sredstava – proračuna ZVSP-a, Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru (bivšeg Instrumenta za stabilnost), drugih instrumenata – kako bi se maksimalno povećao učinak njegovih aktivnosti u ispunjavanju ciljeva vanjske politike EU-a.

Aktivnosti se stoga također detaljno koordiniraju u okviru šire sigurnosne politike i aktivnosti sprečavanja sukoba koje EU poduzima.

Glavni savjetnik i posebni izaslanik ESVD-a za neširenje oružja i razoružanje predstavljao je EU na nekoliko ključnih međunarodnih sastanaka tijekom prve polovice 2014. (posebno u Upravnoj skupini za neširenje oružja u okviru Skupine G8/G7, u Pripremnom odboru za NPT 2014. godine, na Otvorenom savjetovanju o nacrtu međunarodnog kodeksa ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru).

U prvom semestru 2014. posebni izaslanik usmjerio se na:

| — | pojačanje napora u podupiranju Ugovora o neširenju nuklearnog oružja (uključujući njegov članak X. o povlačenju iz ugovora). To ostaje najvažniji prioritet EU-a, uzimajući u obzir njegovu izravnu važnost za glavne regionalne izazove u vezi s neširenjem oružja u Iranu i DNRK-u. EU je nastavio podupirati napore finskog moderatora u pogledu sazivanja konferencije u Helsinkiju o području bez OMU-a na Bliskom istoku, također organiziranjem radionice o kapacitetima za diplomate srednje razine iz bliskoistočne regije uz pomoć Konzorcija EU-a za neširenje oružja; |

1.   NUKLEARNA PITANJA

Radna skupina Vijeća EU-a za suzbijanje širenja oružja (CONOP), u bliskoj suradnji s relevantnim delegacijama EU-a, aktivno je doprinijela pripremama stajalištâ EU-a za sastanak Pripremnog odbora za NPT održan u New Yorku od 28. travnja do 9. svibnja 2014. i sastanke Vijeća guvernera IAEA-e u ožujku i lipnju 2014. Dala je strateške smjernice i pripremila doprinose EU-a drugim međunarodnim sastancima, poput sastanaka Savjetodavne skupine NSG-a, Pripremne komisije CTBTO-a, Režima kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCR), Australske skupine (AG) i drugih relevantnih sastanaka u okviru svog mandata.

1.1.   Daljnje postupanje u vezi s Revizijskom konferencijom Ugovora o neširenju oružja (NPT) održanom 2010.

Održane su rasprave s predsjednikom Trećeg pripremnog odbora za NPT na sastanku CONOP-a 23. travnja 2014. Imajući u vidu Revizijsku konferenciju 2015., tri neformalne radne podskupine „prijatelja predsjednika” čija je zadaća priprema doprinosâ EU-a Revizijskom ciklusu NPT-a u 2015., a kojima predsjedaju države članice EU-a uz sudjelovanje ESVD-a, nastavile su sa svojim djelovanjem. Posebni izaslanik za neširenje oružja i razoružanje dao je opću izjavu EU-a i tri skupne izjave na trećem sastanku Pripremnog odbora, a predstavljena su i dva radna dokumenta EU-a (napori EU-a za jačanje nuklearne sigurnosti i napori EU-a za jačanje nuklearne zaštite). Na marginama Pripremnog odbora održano je dobro posjećeno popratno događanje o naporima EU-a za jačanje nuklearne sigurnosti.

S obzirom na područje bez oružja za masovno uništenje na Bliskom istoku, EU je nastavio u potpunosti podupirati tekuće pripreme za uspješno održavanje Konferencije, a posebno trajne napore moderatora, veleposlanika Laajave iz Finske, i njegovog tima u vezi s postavljanjem temelja u tom pogledu. Radionica o kapacitetima namijenjena diplomatima srednje i niže razine iz dotičnih zemalja regije organizirana je 18. i 19. lipnja 2014. u Bruxellesu. Kao i u prethodnim slučajevima, Konzorcij EU-a za neširenje oružja odigrao je ključnu ulogu u uspostavi ove aktivnosti. Na službenim sastancima s Ligom arapskih država i nekoliko arapskih zemalja, EU je sve strane u regiji pozvao da hitno i proaktivno surađuju s moderatorom i sazivačima s ciljem sazivanja Konferencije što je moguće prije. ESVD je na svim razinama održavao bliske kontakte s moderatorom i njegovim timom.

1.2.   Međunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju (IAEA)

EU je nastavio s jačanjem potpore Međunarodnoj agenciji za atomsku energiju u Beču. EU ostaje glavni donator sredstava u Fond za nuklearnu sigurnost, sa skoro 40 milijuna eura namijenjenih fondu od 2004. (uključujući najnoviju obvezu plaćanja 8,05 milijuna eura Agenciji, na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2013/517/ZVSP od 21. listopada 2013.). U pogledu nuklearne sigurnosti, EU je tehničkom stručnošću pridonio aktivnostima osposobljavanja i radionicama koje su organizirale IAEA i ciljne treće zemlje u svrhu poboljšanja sposobnosti u borbi protiv nezakonite trgovine nuklearnim i drugim radioaktivnim materijalima. EU i IAEA nastavili su koordinirati svoju potporu trećim zemljama u tom području. Drugi godišnji sastanak visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e, koji je uključio i predstavnike ESVD-a, Europske komisije/Euratoma i IAEA-e na visokoj razini, održan je 20. i 21. veljače u Beču, nakon uspješnog posjeta glavnog direktora IAEA-e Yukiye Amana Bruxellesu (3. i 4. veljače). Sastanak je otvorio glavni direktor Amano. Donesena je zajednička izjava za medije. Cilj je tih sastanaka visokih dužnosnika poboljšati suradnju u svim područjima djelovanja IAEA-e, povećati vidljivost doprinosâ EU-a te dalje koordinirati djelovanje EU-a kako bi se zajamčila komplementarnost i izbjeglo preklapanje aktivnosti koje poduzimaju Centri izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a s aktivnostima koje poduzima IAEA u području nuklearne sigurnosti (radi toga su EU/Zajednički istraživački centar i IAEA također potpisali praktične sporazume kojima se uređuje njihova suradnja). Na marginama sastanka visokih dužnosnika održan je prvi sastanak odbora za veze visokih dužnosnika s ciljem praćenja provedbe Memoranduma o razumijevanju o nuklearnoj sigurnosti između EURATOM-a i IAEA-e koji je potpisan u rujnu 2013. Treći sastanak visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e održat će se početkom 2015. u prostorima Europske komisije u Luxembourgu.

EU je od 2008. putem zaključaka Vijeća namijenio do 25 milijuna eura banci nisko obogaćenog uranija u sklopu IAEA-e (IAEA LEU). EU je za potporu toj banci prenio 20 milijuna eura iz Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru. Na temelju odluke Vijeća iz proračuna ZVSP-a osigurat će se dodatni doprinos do 5 milijuna EUR. Vijeće još uvijek nije dalo svoje odobrenje zbog neočekivano sporog napretka u finalizaciji raznih sporazuma, uključujući Sporazum s državom domaćinom između IAEA-e i Kazahstana.

U području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera, Uprava za nuklearne zaštitne mjere pri Europskoj komisiji i dalje primjenjuje zaštitne mjere na sav nuklearni materijal za civilnu upotrebu u svih 28 država članica EU-a, uz godišnji proračun od otprilike 20 milijuna eura. Aktivnosti provjere zaštitnih mjera koordiniraju se u bliskoj suradnji s IAEA-om.

IAEA i Komisija stalno poboljšavaju svoju suradnju u tom području u svrhu optimizacije korištenja ljudskih i financijskih resursa, istovremeno održavajući najveću moguću razinu učinkovitosti zaštitnih mjera. EU je također nastavio pružati važnu tehničku podršku IAEA-i u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera putem Programa potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije.

Dok je EU namijenio 10 milijuna eura kao potporu međunarodnom projektu čiji je cilj proširenje i modernizacija laboratorija za zaštitne mjere u Seibersdorfu u Austriji (od čega je 9,50 milijuna već isplaćeno), IAEA se obratila međunarodnim donatorima, uključujući EU, da doprinesu modernizaciji laboratorija za primjenu nuklearne energije u Seibersdorfu.

Na stručnoj razini, Europska komisija je, u suradnji s IAEA-om, pokrenula postupak procjene i potpore poboljšanju IAEA-ine baze podataka o nezakonitoj trgovini (ITDB) s obzirom na potrebe njezinih korisnika. Sastavljen je nacrt dokumenta najbolje prakse u području usklađenog izvješćivanja koji će biti podnesen IAEA-i. U listopadu 2013. započelo se s razvojem sustava web-INF (Obrazac za prijavu događaja) u svrhu modernizacije sredstava izvješćivanja, a taj će sustav biti završen 2014.

Sredstva EU-a pružena IAEA-i na temelju zajedničkih akcija od I. do IV. te na temelju Odluke Vijeća V. pomogla su poboljšati napore IAEA-e uložene u jačanje nuklearne sigurnosti u trećim zemljama, s time da je prednost dana onim državama kojima je poboljšanje kontrole radioaktivnog i nuklearnog materijala najviše potrebno, a na taj način pružena je pomoć pri smanjenju rizika. Napori su bili usmjereni na jačanje zakonodavne i regulatorne infrastrukture u tim državama povezane s nuklearnim i drugim radioaktivnim materijalima, mjerama nuklearne sigurnosti u pogledu nuklearnog i drugog radioaktivnog materijala u upotrebi, skladištenjem i prijevozom te povezanim sredstvima i sposobnostima tih država pri rješavanju pitanja nuklearnog i radioaktivnog materijala koji je izvan nacionalne regulatorne kontrole, na taj način omogućujući zemljama kojima je pružena pomoć da ispune svoje nacionalne i međunarodne obveze. Najnovija Odluka Vijeća (IAEA VI, 2013/517/ZVSP), donesena 21. listopada 2013., doprinijet će daljnjem poboljšanju nuklearne sigurnosti na svjetskoj razini te jačanju europske sigurnosti pružanjem potpore aktivnostima IAEA-e poduzetima u okviru Plana nuklearne sigurnosti za razdoblje od 2014. do 2017., primarno u gore opisanim područjima.

1.3.   Ugovor o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT)

EU je aktivno promovirao rano stupanje na snagu Ugovora o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT), na temelju relevantnih odluka Vijeća (2010/461/ZVSP od 26. srpnja 2010. i 2012/699/ZVSP od 13. studenoga 2012.), kao potpora Organizaciji ugovora o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBTO) i ulaganjem napora za povećanje osviještenosti u svim zemljama koje nisu još potpisale ili ratificirale CTBT, uključujući u preostalim državama iz Priloga 2. čija je ratifikacija nužna kako bi Ugovor mogao stupiti na snagu. EU će i dalje nastaviti s podizanjem svijesti o CTBT-u u raznim kontekstima, uključujući na sastancima u okviru političkog dijaloga, kako bi dalje potaknuo ratifikaciju Ugovora.

U tom duhu, posebni izaslanik za neširenje oružja i razoružanje i predstavnici Europske komisije sudjelovali su na Regionalnoj konferenciji CTBTO-a za azijske zemlje održanoj u Jakarti od 19. do 21. svibnja. Konferenciju su suorganizirale indonezijske vlasti, a financijski su je poduprli EU i Japan. Predstavnici EU-a u svojim napomenama istaknuli su političku i financijsku potporu EU-a univerzalizaciji i učinkovitoj provedbi CTBT-a, kao i iskustvo EU-a u razmjeni podataka o radiološkoj opasnosti s naglaskom na civilnu namjenu i koristi Međunarodnog sustava za praćenje CTBTO-a.

Nuklearni pokus koji je 12. veljače 2013. proveden u Demokratskoj Narodnoj Republici Koreji te rizici mogućih daljnjih pokusa jasno su ukazali na stvarnu važnost Međunarodnog sustava za praćenje CTBTO-a, na kojem se trenutno radi i koji EU podupire putem svojih odluka Vijeća. Mobilizirani su timovi CTBTO-a u svrhu pružanja svim zemljama potpisnicama CTBT-a relevantnih izravnih podataka kao potpore donositeljima odluka. Napori u vezi s održavanjem 321 seizmološke pomoćne stanice, koji se podupiru putem zajedničkih akcija/odluka Vijeća od I. do V., te uvođenje Međunarodnog podatkovnog centra CTBTO-a (koji prikuplja, analizira i razmjenjuje podatke koje je mreža stanica prikupila) doprinijet će potrebnoj održivosti sustava. Nadalje, od iznimne je važnosti podupirati CTBTO Privremeno tehničko tajništvo u provođenju daljnjih vježbi kao što je druga integrirana terenska vježba koja će biti organizirana u studenome/prosincu 2014. u Jordanu u svrhu ispitivanja i poboljšanja operativnih sposobnosti plana izravnog nadzora (OSI).

Započeo je istraživački rad koji će i dalje sredstvima EU-a podupirati aktivnosti Pripremne komisije CTBTO-a.

1.4.   Regionalna pitanja (Iran, Demokratska Narodna Republika Koreja)

EU je i dalje u potpunosti posvećen trajnim naporima usmjerenima na postizanje diplomatskog rješenja iranskog nuklearnog pitanja putem pregovora, na temelju NPT-a i potpune primjene svih relevantnih rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a i Vijeća guvernera IAEA-e. Privremeni sporazum pod nazivom Zajednički akcijski plan koji su ostvarili E3/EU+3 i Iran u Ženevi u studenome 2013. stupio je na snagu 20. siječnja 2014. odlukom Vijeća za vanjske poslove. Nakon početka provedbe Zajedničkog akcijskog plana Visoka predstavnica EU-a, zajedno s političkim direktorima skupine E3+3 (Kina, Francuska, Njemačka, Rusija, Ujedinjena Kraljevina i Sjedinjene Države) započela je pregovore s Iranom s ciljem ostvarivanja dugoročnog sveobuhvatnog rješenja iranskog nuklearnog pitanja, kako je predviđeno Zajedničkim akcijskim planom. Od tada je održano nekoliko krugova pregovora na političkoj i stručnoj razini. Usporedno s aktivnostima skupine E3/EU+3, IAEA i Iran nastavili su surađivati u okviru za suradnju s ciljem rješavanja svih trenutačnih i prošlih otvorenih pitanja, između ostalog onih povezanih s mogućim vojnim dimenzijama. U veljači i svibnju IAEA i Iran dogovorili su neke praktične mjere koje Iran treba provesti, a ostala otvorena pitanja još uvijek čekaju rješenje.

EU je i dalje zabrinut zbog iranskih aktivnosti i programa balističkih projektila te postojećih rizika od razvoja nuklearnog tereta za projektil, te je odlučan da se sva pitanja iz rezolucija VSUN-a 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 i 1929 moraju u potpunosti riješiti. Zajednički akcijski plan iz studenoga 2013. predviđa da će dugoročno rješenje iranske nuklearne krize morati sagledati rezolucije VSUN-a koje, između ostaloga, obuhvaćaju balističke rakete koje mogu nositi nuklearno oružje.

S obzirom na Demokratsku Narodnu Republiku Koreju, EU je nastavio poticati DNRK da poštuje svoje obveze koje je preuzela na temelju relevantnih rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a, uključujući obustavu svih postojećih nuklearnih programa i programa balističkih projektila na sveobuhvatan, dokaziv i nepovratan način. EU je nastavio s pozivanjem DNRK da ponovno uspostavi puno poštovanje NPT-a i obveza u vezi sa zaštitnim mjerama IAEA-e te da IAEA-i dopusti zatraženi pristup pojedincima, dokumentaciji, opremi i objektima. EU je trajno podupirao ponovno pokretanje postupka pregovora između šest strana te je pozvao DNRK da se ponovno uključi u vjerodostojne i autentične međunarodne pregovore. Osim provedbe rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a, EU je također uveo dodatne autonomne mjere ograničavanja, uključujući pojačane kontrole robe s dvojnom namjerom i širenje konvencionalnog oružja. EU je ponovno pozvao DNRK da ratificira CTBT te da se suzdrži od svih daljnjih provokativnih radnji.

EU je i dalje izrazito zabrinut zbog visoko razvijene tehnologije DNRK-a u području balističkih projektila, posebice projekata projektila dugog dometa. DNRK se nastavlja suprotstavljati Rezolucijama VSUN-a 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 i 2094, a takvo kršenje nedavno je zabilježeno prilikom novog kruga testiranja balističkih projektila 26. ožujka 2014. Ti su činovi ozbiljna prijetnja miru i stabilnosti u regiji i glasnogovornik VP-a ih je najsnažnije osudio.

2.   KONFERENCIJA O RAZORUŽANJU (CD)/UGOVOR O ZABRANI PROIZVODNJE FISIBILNOG MATERIJALA ZA NUKLEARNO ORUŽJE ILI DRUGE NUKLEARNE EKSPLOZIVNE NAPRAVE

U Rezoluciji Prvog odbora UNGA 68 o Izvješću o Konferenciji o razoružanju (CD), koji je podnijela Irska, Konferenciju o razoružanju poziva se da premosti zastoj u svojem radu donošenjem i provedbom stabilnog i sveobuhvatnog programa rada. U Rezoluciji je pozdravljena Odluka CD/1956/Rev.1 o uspostavi neslužbene radne skupine čiji je mandat sastavljanje programa rada. EU je nekoliko puta izrazio nadu da će neformalna radna skupina dovesti do konkretnih i opipljivih rezultata. EU je također dao do znanja da u skladu s dugoročnom obvezom država članica proširenju CD-a snažno podržava imenovanje posebnog koordinatora za širenje članstva. U skladu sa suradnjom EU-a s civilnim društvom, EU je također podupro pojačanu interakciju između civilnog društva i Konferencije o razoružanju, na taj način jačajući doprinos nevladinih organizacija i istraživačkih ustanova radu Konferencije.

Hitno započinjanje i rani dovršetak pregovora u okviru CD-a o Ugovoru o zabrani proizvodnje fisibilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave na temelju dokumenta CD/1299 i mandata koji je u njemu naveden i dalje ostaje prioritetom EU-a. Takav ugovor bio bi ključan element svakog okvira za postizanje i održavanje svijeta bez nuklearnog oružja, u skladu s ciljevima NPT-a. EU iščekuje ishod sastanaka skupine vladinih stručnjaka koja je uspostavljena Rezolucijom 67/53 Opće skupštine.

3.   KEMIJSKO ORUŽJE

Sirija i dalje ima istaknutu ulogu na dnevnom redu Organizacije za zabranu kemijskog oružja (OPCW). Dok je slučaj Sirije OPCW-u pružio jedinstvenu priliku da testira svoju suradnju s UN-om, primi međunarodno priznanje (Nobelovu nagradu za mir) i dodatnu međunarodnu potporu, također je iscrpio ljudske i financijske resurse te stvorio sigurnosna pitanja. EU je OPCW-u doprinio s ukupno više od 16 milijuna EUR za uništenje sirijskog kemijskog oružja. To je učinio sinergijskim iskorištavanjem financijskih instrumenata koji su mu na raspolaganju (ZVSP i Instrument za doprinos sigurnosti i miru) te doprinosom u naravi (oklopna vozila i satelitske snimke) i financijskim doprinosom (12 milijuna EUR uzajamnom fondu OPCW-a).

Nakon Treće revizijske konferencije o Konvenciji o kemijskom oružju (CWC), EU je nastavio biti usmjeren na svoje prioritete, odnosno: i. dovršetak uništavanja postojećih zaliha; ii. promicanje univerzalnosti CWC-a (14. listopada 2013. Sirija je postala 190. država potpisnica Konvencije); iii. pomak prema naporima u vezi s neširenjem oružja; iv. promicanje izgradnje kapaciteta s obzirom na sigurnost i zaštitu u kemijskoj industriji u zemljama u razvoju, u skladu s člankom XI. te odgovor na upotrebu kemijskog oružja, na temelju članka X.

Unatoč potrebi da se dovrše neki od izvornih ključnih ciljeva CWC-a, EU i njegove države članice započeli su promišljati situaciju koja slijedi nakon uništenja CW-a te postupno počinju sagledavati izazove za buduću relevantnost, a time i učinkovitost konvencije. Moguća nova odluka Vijeća u potporu OPCW-u trebala bi se nadovezati na ovo razmatranje.

EU je putem svojih delegacija poduzeo diplomatske postupke u 48 zemalja s ciljem olakšavanja i poticanja zakonodavnog postupka izravnim dijalogom s relevantnim tijelima te na taj način ubrzavanja donošenja zakonodavstva (u skladu s člankom VII. Konvencije). Izvješće o ishodima tih diplomatskih postupaka podijeljeno je s državama članicama u nadležnoj Radnoj skupini (CODUN) i s OPCW-om.

S obzirom na učinke potpore EU-a, sve zemlje koje su odabrane za primanje pomoći iskoristile su tu pomoć za popunjavanje kritičnih tehničkih rupa, a na taj način državama potpisnicama omogućeno je da ostvare značajan napredak u pogledu nacionalne provedbe CWC-a. Konkretno, može se zaključiti da Odluke Vijeća EU-a i dalje ostaju jedino moguće sredstvo za pružanje te vrste pomoći za rješavanje propusta pri provedbi. Od 90 nacionalnih provedbenih potprojekata koje je proteklih godina provelo Tehničko tajništvo OPCW-a, gotovo polovica ne bi mogla biti provedena bez sredstava dodijeljenih u okviru zajedničkih akcija/odluka Vijeća.

U pogledu prioriteta EU-a u vezi s promicanjem univerzalnosti, ukupno devetnaest zemalja pridružilo se Konvenciji od donošenja prve zajedničke akcije, a četiri zemlje među zemljama koje su se pridružile Konvenciji u 2005. sudjelovale su u aktivnosti EU-a za podizanje svijesti koja se financirala iz zajedničke akcije/odluke Vijeća; to je bio slučaj za sve zemlje koje su se pridružile tijekom sljedećih godina.

4.   BIOLOŠKO ORUŽJE

Nakon Sedme revizijske konferencije BTWC-a (Ženeva, prosinac 2011.), EU je konstruktivno sudjelovao u procesu između sjednica te je doprinio izjavama i posebnim radnim materijalima o: 1) međunarodnoj suradnji i pomoći; 2) jačanju provedbe na nacionalnoj razini; 3) jačanju kapaciteta u području biozaštite i biosigurnosti. Delegacija EU-a dala je izjave EU-a na sastanku stručnjaka (Ženeva, od 12. do 16. kolovoza 2013.) te na sastanku država potpisnica (Ženeva, od 9. do 13. prosinca 2013.). Na potonjoj je podnesena revidirana i ažurirana verzija Radnog dokumenta EU-a o članku X. – Suradnja i pomoć.

Tijekom prve polovice 2014. rezultati djelovanja EU-a obuhvaćali su promicanje povećane svijesti o BTWC-u u Aziji i Latinskoj Americi, što uključuje i poboljšano razumijevanje BTWC-a među relevantnim nacionalnim tijelima i/ili pojačano subregionalno umrežavanje te poticanje dobrovoljne provedbe BTWC-a prije ratifikacije.

Provedbom Odluke Vijeća 2012/421/ZVSP od 23. srpnja 2012. nacionalne radionice u okviru programa pomoći poticale su poboljšano razumijevanje BTWC-a među relevantnim nacionalnim tijelima i civilnim društvom, jačale su regionalno umrežavanje za poticanje provedbe BTWC-a i utvrdile potrebe za poboljšanjem provedbe BTWC-a. Radionice je organizirala UNODA u Kolumbiji (6. i 7. ožujka i 12. i 13. lipnja 2014.), Mongoliji (29. travnja 2014.) i Nepalu (20. i 21. veljače i 9. i 10. lipnja 2014.).

Osim toga, jedan predstavnik Ekvadora osposobljen je u pogledu zaštitnih mjera i upravljanja biorizikom u Španjolskoj (od 31. ožujka do 4. travnja 2014.), a zakonodavna ekspertiza pomogla je Nepalu u poboljšanju zakonodavnih i administrativnih mjera (od 11. do 13. lipnja 2013.).

EU također podupire poboljšanja u području biozaštite i biosigurnosti. U tom pogledu, Odlukom Vijeća 2013/668/ZVSP, donesenom 18. studenoga 2013., više od 1,7 milijuna EUR predviđeno je u svrhu potpore, uz tehničku pomoć Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, projektima čiji je cilj promicanje, u nekim odabranim državama potpisnicama, svijesti o bioriziku, upravljanja biorizikom u laboratorijima te razvoja nacionalnih laboratorijskih strategija.

5.   BALISTIČKI PROJEKTILI

EU smatra Haški pravilnik postupanja protiv širenja balističkih projektila (HCoC) jedinstvenim multilateralnim instrumentom čiji je cilj suzbijanje širenja sustava balističkih projektila i povezanih tehnologija putem mjera jačanja transparentnosti i povjerenja te ga je snažno podržavao još od njegova nastanka. Sve države članice EU-a potpisale su taj Pravilnik. EU nastavlja poticati i podupirati tri aspekta Pravilnika: univerzalnost, provedbu te pojačano i poboljšano funkcioniranje.

Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2012/423/ZVSP u potporu HCoC-u i neširenju projektila općenito, dana 28. svibnja 2014. EU je, na marginama redovnog godišnjeg sastanka HCoC-a, organizirao informativno događanje u Beču, u potporu HCoC-u. Nakon prvog regionalnog seminara koji se održao u Singapuru u studenome 2013., drugi je organiziran u travnju 2014. u Abu Dhabiju, a posljednji će se organizirati u Limi (Peru) u srpnju 2014.

Osigurana je vidljivost EU-a, uključujući sudjelovanjem šefa delegacije EU-a i jasnim upućivanjima na financiranje EU-a što su ponovili gotovo svi govornici. Prijenos događanja i rasprava uživo putem interneta predstavljao je novinu. ESVD je pripremio i predsjedao koordinacijskim sastankom EU-a prilikom redovnog godišnjeg sastanka HCoC-a u Beču 29. i 30. svibnja 2014., a 29. svibnja izdana je izjava EU-a.

Sastanak pojačanih točaka za kontakt MTCR-a u 2014. održan je 14. i 15. svibnja u Parizu i također je izdana izjava EU-a.

ESVD je sudjelovao u informativnim aktivnostima koje je provodio predsjednik MTCR-a u Singapuru i Maleziji u travnju 2014. gdje je izdana izjava EU-a.

6.   SMANJENJE RIZIKA OD KBRN-a

EU je nastavio napredovati u pogledu provedbe plana djelovanja EU-a za KBRN (kemijska, biološka, radiološka i nuklearna pitanja) donesenog 2009., a dosad je programom Sprečavanje i borba protiv kriminala (ISEC) podržano otprilike 30 projekata.

Pored toga, čitav niz istraživačkih projekata u području KBRN-a koje financira program Sigurno društvo unutar 7. okvirnog programa pruža znanstvenu i tehničku potporu planu djelovanja za KBRN kroz dostignuća u istraživanju koja obuhvaćaju cijeli ciklus upravljanja kriznim situacijama (od sprečavanja do oporavka). Također su u tijeku aktivnosti s ciljem identificiranja potreba standardizacije u ovom području koje bi mogle dovesti do standarda „Europskih normi” (EN). Predstojeći program Obzor 2020. (2014. – 2020.) ojačat će trajne napore u istraživanju KBRN-a kroz fokusirane teme, za što je već usvojen radni program 10. prosinca 2013.

Izvješće o napretku provedbe plana djelovanja iz 2012. istaknulo je glavna dostignuća, posebno u pogledu poboljšane razmjene informacija i dobrih praksi, organizacije zajedničkih vježbi osposobljavanja i sporazuma o tri popisa EU-a visokorizičnih tvari u kemijskom, biološkom, odnosno radiološko-nuklearnom području.

S ciljem određivanja vizije za politiku u nadolazećim godinama, tijekom prvog semestra 2014. godine Komisija namjerava predstaviti Komunikaciju o novom sveobuhvatnom planu EU-a u području KBRN-E (eksplozivi) koji će se fokusirati na određeni broj prioritetnih područja s jasnom dodanom vrijednošću EU-a.

Kako bi se aktualni plan djelovanja proveo do 2015. godine i kako bi se definirao novi plan u području KBRN-E, Komisija usko surađuje s nadležnim tijelima države članice i s ostalim relevantnim dionicima u savjetodavnoj skupini KBRN-E i njezinim podskupinama koji se redovito sastaju.

U svibnju 2014. Europska komisija donijela je Komunikaciju o novom pristupu EU-a otkrivanju i ublaživanju rizika u području KBRN-E (dokument COM(2014) 247 završna verzija). U toj Komunikaciji Komisija predlaže olakšavanje praktične suradnje za otkrivanje i ublaživanje rizika u području KBRN-E na razini EU-a, što obuhvaća i rad s industrijom, operaterima postrojenja koji rukuju KBRN-E materijalima (proizvođačima opreme i pružateljima sigurnosnih usluga) i drugim dionicima. Dokument sadrži skup od 30 aktivnosti koje u što bližoj budućnosti trebaju provesti različite službe Komisije u suradnji s državama članicama. Razvit će se konkretni alati, od materijala za orijentaciju, osposobljavanja i razvijanja svijesti do aktivnosti ispitivanja.

U svibnju 2010. EU je pokrenuo inicijativu „Centri izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a” (CoE) koja se financira putem Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru. Centri izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a stvaraju se kao odgovor na prepoznavanje nedovoljnog institucionalnog kapaciteta nekoliko zemalja za smanjenje rizika od KBRN-a: kaznenih djela (širenje KBRN-a ili terorizam), prirodnih (zoonoze i epidemije) i slučajnih katastrofa (nesreće na radu). Njihov je cilj razviti politiku u slučaju svih opasnosti u području KBRN-a na nacionalnoj i regionalnoj razini kako bi se ti rizici predvidjeli i kako bi se na njih odgovorilo. Ukratko, to su strukturne mjere za smanjenje ranjivosti zemalja u odnosu na kemijske, biološke, radiološke i nuklearne događaje u uzajamnom interesu regija i sigurnosti EU-a.

Način ostvarivanja ovog cilja je potpora stvaranju regionalnih mreža stručnog znanja u pravnim, regulatornim, tehničkim, kontrolnim i izvršnim pitanjima u vezi sa smanjenjem rizika od KBRN-a.

Sedam regionalnih centara osniva se u: 1. sjevernoj Africi (Alžir), 2. Atlantskom pročelju (Rabat), 3. Bliskom istoku (Amman), 4. jugoistočnoj Europi – Južnom Kavkazu – Republici Moldovi – Ukrajini (Tbilisi), 5. jugoistočnoj Aziji (Manila), 6. subsaharskoj Africi (Nairobi) i 7. zaljevskim zemljama (Abu Dhabi) i započeli su s radom. Sljedeći je korak otvaranje regionalnog tajništva u srednjoj Aziji (Taškent – još nije potvrđeno). Pored prethodno ugovorena trideset i tri projekta u iznosu od 26 milijuna eura, novi projekti u iznosu od 10 milijuna eura trenutno se ugovaraju s različitim konzorcijima, uključujući one iz država članica.

7.   SKUPINE ZA STRATEŠKO PROMIŠLJANJE

Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2010/430/ZVSP od 26. srpnja 2010. Konzorcij EU-a za neširenje oružja, koji je s djelovanjem započeo u siječnju 2011., aktivno podržava rad EU-a u okviru Strategije EU-a za sprečavanje širenja oružja za masovno uništenje. Nova Odluka donesena 10. ožujka produljuje aktivnosti Konzorcija na još tri godine, nadovezujući se na postignuća i iskustvo iz razdoblja od 2011. do 2013. i dodajući nove i inovativne projekte. Naime, do sedam ad hoc seminara (za 45 ciljnih pojedinaca koji će se odrediti od slučaja do slučaja, održat će se unutar EU-a, do tri izvan EU-a); službu za korisnike koja na zahtjev ESVD-a u roku od dva tjedna može izraditi do dvadeset političkih dokumenata od 5 do 10 stranica; razvoj alata za obrazovanje o neširenju oružja i razoružanju (europski kurikulum na internetu za sveučilišnu upotrebu koji će biti dostupan 24 mjeseca nakon početka ugovora).

Nakon uspješnih aktivnosti organiziranih u razdoblju od 2011. do 2013. nova godišnja međunarodna konferencija o neširenju oružja i razoružanju održat će se 4. i 5. rujna ove godine. U Bruxellesu su održana dva ad hoc seminara o BTWC-u i usklađenosti (24. travnja) i o WMDFZ-u na Bliskom istoku (18. i 19. lipnja).

U smislu učinka, aktivnosti Konzorcija povećale su vidljivost EU-a u odnosu na treće zemlje i civilno društvo te su značajno doprinijele oblikovanju politike EU-a u području neširenja oružja i razoružanja. Konzorcij osigurava platformu za neslužbene kontakte među stručnjacima iz prakse i pomaže u poticanju dijaloga između različitih dionika. Mreža Konzorcija broji više od 60 skupina za strateško promišljanje diljem Europe. Ta je aktivnost doprinijela podizanju svijesti o izazovima nuklearnog, kemijskog i biološkog oružja.

8.   REZOLUCIJA VIJEĆA SIGURNOSTI UJEDINJENIH NARODA 1540 I KONTROLE IZVOZA

(a)   RVSUN 1540

Odluku Vijeća u potporu RVSUN-u 1540 koju je donijelo Vijeće 22. srpnja 2013. provodi UNODA koja organizira regionalne radionice i posjete pomoći zemljama diljem svijeta. Provedba ove Odluke Vijeća pomaže jačanju relevantnih nacionalnih i regionalnih napora, doprinosi praktičnom ispunjenju preporuka iz sveobuhvatnog preispitivanja statusa provedbe RVSUN-a 1540 iz 2009. godine te pokreće i razvija nacionalne planove djelovanja na zahtjev država.

UNODA je potpisao sporazum s OESS-om koji bi trebao dovesti do sinergije u potporu RVSUN-u 1540. Potrebno je težiti sinergiji i koordinaciji i s Centrima izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a, kako bi se izbjegla eventualna udvostručenja. Pomoću sredstava EU-a organizirana su već četiri događanja, a peto je održano u Hrvatskoj 26. i 27. lipnja 2014.

(b)   Kontrole izvoza

Usvajanjem Komunikacije Komisije čiji je cilj propisivanje smjera za kontrole izvoza EU-a 24. travnja 2014., Europska komisija dovršila je treću fazu u pregledu režima kontrole izvoza EU-a. Komunikacija utvrđuje konkretne opcije politike za modernizaciju i prilagodbu kontrola izvoza tehnološkim, gospodarskim i političkim okolnostima koje se brzo mijenjaju. Prije poduzimanja konkretnih inicijativa za djelovanje, Komisija sada poziva Vijeće i Europski parlament da razmotre pristup naveden u toj Komunikaciji. Istodobno će Komisija provesti „procjenu učinka” mogućnosti pregleda navedenih u toj Komunikaciji kako bi utvrdila najprikladnije regulatorne i neregulatorne aktivnosti da ih provede.

S regulatorne strane, rasprave o prijedlogu izmjene Uredbe EU-a 428/2009 o robi s dvojnom namjenom, kojim se nadležnost za ažuriranje kontrolnog popisa EU-a delegira Komisiji radi ubrzanja takvih ažuriranja, uspješno su zaključene, a izmijenjena Uredba (br. 599/2014) objavljena je u Službenom listu EU-a 12. lipnja 2014. (L173/79). Slijedom toga, Komisija će započeti pripreme za ažuriranje kontrolnog popisa u drugom semestru 2014.

Provedba kontrola izvoza podržana je putem tri sastanka Koordinacijske skupine za robu s dvojnom namjenom u prvoj polovici 2014. gdje je posebna pozornost posvećena uvođenju novih funkcija u „Elektronički sustav za robu s dvojnom namjenom”.

Ostvarena je koordinacija EU-a s ciljem promicanja dogovorenih stajališta EU-a na relevantnim sastancima režimâ kontrole izvoza održanim u prvom semestru 2014. (Skupina nuklearnih dobavljača: Savjetodavna skupina u travnju 2014. u Beču, kao i prije i tijekom tjedna plenarne sjednice NSG-a održane u Buenos Airesu od 23. do 27. lipnja 2014.; Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije: sastanak pojačanih točaka za kontakt u svibnju 2014. u Parizu; Australska skupina: plenarna sjednica u lipnju 2014. u Parizu).

Nastavilo se s programom informiranja o kontroli izvoza EU-a za jačanje administrativnog i tehničkog kapaciteta u trećim zemljama (23) u pogledu robe s dvojnom namjenom. Program informiranja pokazao je dobru suradnju s kineskim tijelima za kontrolu izvoza što je rezultiralo objavljivanjem zajedničkog priručnika za kontrolu izvoza. Posebna pozornost dodatno je posvećena uspostavi aktivnosti kontrole izvoza s Jordanom i Kazakstanom. Program se financira u okviru Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru.

9.   SVEMIR

Od 2007. EU radi na poticanju razvoja Međunarodnog kodeksa ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru. Ovaj međunarodni i dobrovoljni skup smjernica i mjera izgradnje povjerenja poboljšao bi sigurnost, zaštitu i predvidljivost svih aktivnosti u svemiru. Takve bi smjernice trebale, između ostalog, ograničiti ili maksimalno umanjiti štetne smetnje, sudare ili nesreće u svemiru, kao i stvaranje krhotina. Odredile bi osnovna pravila koja bi morale poštovati nacije koje putuju u svemir u civilnim i vojnim aktivnostima u svemiru.

Nakon Otvorenog savjetovanja o nacrtu teksta koje je održano u Kijevu 16. i 17. svibnja 2013., na kojem je sudjelovalo oko 140 predstavnika iz 61 zemlje, tekst je revidiran. Drugi krug savjetovanja o revidiranom tekstu održan je u Bangkoku od 20. do 22. studenoga 2013., a na njemu je sudjelovalo 66 zemalja i organizacija te 133 sudionika. Kako bi proces postao transparentniji i uključiviji, posebni izaslanik održao je savjetovanja sa značajnim brojem zemalja, što je obuhvatilo i posjete Pekingu i Moskvi uoči savjetovanja u Bangkoku. Treći i završni krug pregovora održan je u Luxembourgu 27. i 28. svibnja 2014. uz sudjelovanje 61 zemlje. Tom prilikom EU je međunarodnoj zajednici predstavio novi nacrt koji je konsolidiran na temelju niza bilateralnih i multilateralnih savjetovanja. Sastanak je bio poticajan zbog temeljite rasprave o samom tekstu, kao i zbog rasprave o sljedećim koracima u svrhu donošenju zakonika.

10.   KLAUZULE O SPREČAVANJU ŠIRENJA OMU-a

EU je nastavio, u skladu sa svojom Strategijom za sprečavanje širenja OMU-a, uključivati sprečavanje širenja OMU-a u ugovorne odnose s trećim zemljama.

Održali su se pregovori o klauzulama o sprečavanju širenja OMU-a u relevantnim sporazumima između EU-a i trećih zemalja, posebno Bruneja, Japana i Malezije. Pregovori doprinose podizanju svijesti o politici EU-a u vezi sa sprečavanjem širenja oružja i razoružanjem te osiguravaju forum za poboljšanje uzajamnog razumijevanja relevantnih stajališta, utvrđivanje mogućih područja za buduću suradnju i poticanje zemalja partnera da ostvare konkretan napredak u pogledu međunarodnog režima sprečavanja širenja oružja.

11.   OSTALI MULTILATERALNI FORUMI

G8/G7

EU je nastavio s aktivnim angažmanom na sastancima Upravne skupine za neširenje oružja i razoružanje, najprije u Sankt Peterburgu, a zatim u New Yorku.

Od svog osnivanja 2002. godine, Globalno partnerstvo (GP) proširilo se izvan Skupine G8 i postalo je platforma za koordinaciju i suradnju, sa 20 dodatnih partnera. Na sastanku na vrhu u Deauvilleu u svibnju 2011. čelnici su se složili da će dodatno ojačati biološku sigurnost, provedbu RVSUN-a 1540 i nuklearnu sigurnost. SAD u 2012., Ujedinjena Kraljevina u 2013. i Rusija, do njezine suspenzije iz skupine G8 u 2014., posebno su se posvetile ovom planu, poglavito jačanjem pet postojećih radnih podskupina o biološkoj sigurnosti, kemijskoj sigurnosti, nuklearnoj sigurnosti, Centrima izvrsnosti (CoE) te informiranju i širenju u okviru Radne skupine GP-a. Napori specifični za Globalno partnerstvo nastavljaju se bez Rusije. Centri izvrsnosti EU-a i dalje imaju istaknutu ulogu u okviru Radne podskupine centara izvrsnosti globalnog partnerstva, posebice kao sredstvo za olakšavanje regionalne razmjene informacija te, eventualno, izbjegavanje udvostručavanja među donatorima.

Međunarodni centar za znanost i tehnologiju

EU je aktivno sudjelovao u pregovorima o usvajanju ažuriranog sporazuma za Međunarodni centar za znanost i tehnologiju (ISTC). Cilj je ISTC-a uključivanje znanstvenika i inženjera koji posjeduju znanje dvojne namjene u mirne istraživačke aktivnosti ili komercijalne programe s EU-om i drugim partnerima. On želi i dalje koristiti znanje dvojne namjene preusmjeravanjem i preraspodjelom relevantnih znanstvenika. Tijekom pregovora, EU je naglasio potrebu za sporazumom koji bi omogućio ISTC-u provedbu projekata koji bi mogli doprinijeti učinkovitom rješavanju izazova u područjima širenja oružja, uključujući na Bliskom istoku. Novi glavni ured ISTC-a službeno je otvoren u Astani u lipnju 2014.

12.   SASTANCI U OKVIRU POLITIČKOG DIJALOGA

Posebni izaslanik održao je sastanke u okvirupolitičkog dijaloga o neširenju oružja i razoružanju s Rusijom, SAD-om, Japanom i Argentinom. Pokrenuo je dijaloge o neširenju oružja i razoružanju s Indijom (New Delhi, 16. svibnja) i Pakistanom (Islamabad, 16. lipnja). Također je održao niz bilateralnih savjetovanja s raznim subjektima, između ostalog na marginama važnih događanja poput Upravne skupine za neširenje oružja u okviru Skupine G8 u Sankt Peterburgu (Japan), Pripremnog odbora za NPT 2014. godine u New Yorku (SAD, Japan, Kina, Egipat, Norveška, Švicarska, Liga arapskih država, UNODA), kao i s Indonezijom (Jakarta, svibanj 2014.).

CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD. | Wojskowy Instytut Higieny i Epidemiologii | 3 9 14  034 | 12.2013-12.2016 |

Strengthening Capacities in CBRN Response and in Chemical and Medical Emergency

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