JEDRSKA VPRAŠANJA

| 5. | EU je v celoti zavezana prizadevanjem za vsesplošen pristop k sporazumom o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in razoroževanju. Skozi vse leto je ponavljala, da odločno podpira dosledno, popolno in učinkovito izvajanje Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – NPT), čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti CTBT ter vzpostavitev območja brez orožja za množično uničevanje in pripadajočih izstrelitvenih sistemov na Bližnjem vzhodu. Med najpomembnejšimi nalogami sta bila tudi začetek in čimprejšnji zaključek pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa v okviru Konference o razorožitvi. |

Mednarodna agencija za atomsko energijo (IAEA)

| 6. | EU pripisuje velik pomen osrednji odgovornosti IAEA za neširjenje orožja, jedrsko energijo, jedrsko varnost in tehnično sodelovanje. Če upoštevamo tudi dvostranske prispevke držav članic, je EU druga največja donatorka v Sklad IAEA za jedrsko varnost. Za Sklad je med letoma 2009 in 2016 na podlagi šestih zaporednih skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta finančno prispevala skupaj že skoraj 42 milijonov EUR. Po uspehu in z izkušnjami s Sklepom Sveta VI, 2013/517/SZVP (1), je decembra 2016 sprejela še sedmi sklep Sveta, pri čemer je dejavnostim IAEA na področju jedrske varnosti v sklopu načrta IAEA za jedrsko varnost za obdobje 2017–2019 namenila podporo v znesku približno 9,3 milijona EUR. |

| 10. | Februarja 2016 so delegacije EU v 63 državah ob podpori držav članic EU začele diplomatska prizadevanja za ozaveščanje, da bi omogočile začetek veljavnosti spremembe Konvencije o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala. EU je podpirala IAEA pri promoviranju prvotne konvencije in njene spremembe. V Sklepu Sveta 2013/517/SZVP je tudi postavka „povečanje števila držav, ki pristopijo h Konvenciji o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala in njeni spremembi in/ali so izjavile, da nameravajo izvajati mednarodne pravne instrumente, ki podpirajo okvir jedrske varnosti“. EU je pozdravila dejstvo, da je maja 2016 začela veljati sprememba Konvencije o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala, in bo še naprej pomagala državam pri doslednem izvajanju njenih določb. |

| 13. | EU je miroljubno rabo jedrske energije podprla tako, da je v obdobju 2014–2020 za spodbujanje jedrske varnosti, varstva pred sevanjem ter uporabo učinkovitih in delujočih nadzornih ukrepov v tretjih državah namenila 225 milijonov EUR. Skupaj z državami članicami pripisuje izredno velik pomen zagotavljanju in stalnemu izboljševanju jedrske varnosti po vsem svetu. Eden od ciljev Direktive Sveta 2009/71/Euratom (3) z dne 25. junija 2009 o vzpostavitvi okvira Skupnosti za jedrsko varnost jedrskih objektov je preprečevanje nesreč oziroma, če do njih pride, blaženje njihovih posledic s preprečevanjem zgodnjih in velikih izpustov radioaktivnih snovi. EU in njene države članice še naprej močno podpirajo program tehničnega sodelovanja v okviru IAEA, med drugim z znatnimi prispevki v Sklad za tehnično sodelovanje in za pobudo za miroljubno rabo. O zavezanosti EU vsem trem stebrom NPT priča tudi dejstvo, da je po velikosti prispevka v program tehnične pomoči na drugem mestu. |

Razpravljali so o dejavnostih IAEA na področju preverjanja, vključno z regionalnimi vprašanji, jedrsko varnostjo in jedrskimi uporabami.

Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT)

| 15. | Pomembna cilja Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje sta čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti in univerzalnost CTBT. Vse države članice EU so svojo privrženost Pogodbi pokazale tako, da so jo ratificirale in začele začasno izvajati iz nje izhajajoče temeljne obveznosti. EU je 20. obletnico začetka podpisovanja te pogodbe zaznamovala s sprejetjem in začetkom izvajanja akcijskega načrta EU v podporo CTBT in Organizaciji pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT Organization – CTBTO), s katerim seznanja o koristih in dodani vrednosti, ki jih ima ta pogodba za mir, varnost in neširjenje, tudi kadar je uporabljena v civilne namene. |

| 17. | EU v mednarodnih forumih in na srečanjih z državami, ki še niso podpisale ali ratificirale CTBT, izkoristi vsako priložnost, da bi jih k temu spodbudila, in si po diplomatski poti še naprej prizadeva za začetek veljavnosti Pogodbe v teh državah. Vprašanje CTBT je bilo dvostransko obravnavano v okviru političnih dialogov EU in dialogov EU o neširjenju orožja z Indijo, Pakistanom in ZDA. Posebni odposlanec ESZD za razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja je 31. avgusta 2016 na univerzi Jawaharlala Nehruja v New Delhiju predaval o politikah EU in dejavnostih v podporo razoroževanju in neširjenju orožja, priložnost pa je izkoristil tudi za promocijo CTBT. |

Pobude za jedrsko varnost

| 19. | EU je bila med zgolj štirimi mednarodnimi organizacijami, ki so prejele povabilo k udeležbi na vrhu o jedrski varnosti, ki je potekal od 31. marca do 1. aprila 2016 pod vodstvom predsednika ZDA Obame. Evropsko unijo sta zastopala predsednik Evropskega sveta Tusk in VP/PP Mogherini. Vrh se je končal s komunikejem in petimi akcijskimi načrti v podporo ustreznim prizadevanjem v okviru ZN, IAEA, Interpola, Svetovne pobude za boj proti jedrskemu terorizmu (Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism – GICNT) in Globalnega partnerstva proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje. Decembra 2016 se je EU pridružila kontaktni skupini za jedrsko varnost (Nuclear Security Contact Group – NSCG). |

| 20. | EU je še naprej podpirala GICNT in misijo za krepitev globalnih zmogljivosti za preprečevanje in odkrivanje jedrskega terorizma ter odzivanje nanj. Sodelovala je na uspešnem jubilejnem zasedanju GICNT, ki je potekalo 15. in 16. junija 2016 v Haagu na Nizozemskem. Akcijski načrt EU na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti, v katerem je opredeljenih 124 ukrepov, je bil uspešno izveden. Splošni cilj tega akcijskega načrta, ki izhaja iz pristopa, pri katerem se upoštevajo vse nevarnosti, je bil zmanjšati grožnjo – in škodo – kemičnih, bioloških, radioloških in jedrskih incidentov, ki so povzročeni nenamerno ali namerno, tudi s terorističnimi dejanji. Center EU za usposabljanje na področju jedrske varnosti in za odzivanje na nedovoljena dejanja, povezana z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi materiali (EUSECTRA), od leta 2013 deluje v polnem teku v korist držav članic Evropske unije in partnerskih držav, med njimi več članic GICNT. Center upravlja Skupno raziskovalno središče EU (Joint Research Centre – JRC) v Karlsruheju (Nemčija) in Ispri (Italija), v tesnem sodelovanju z nosilci drugih mednarodnih pobud, ki jih podpirajo IAEA in več partnerskih držav v okviru GICNT. Center se uporablja tudi za praktične vaje predvsem v zvezi z bojem proti tihotapljenju jedrskih materialov; tako je bila, na primer, na to temo v partnerstvu z Združenimi državami med 8. in 10. marcem 2016 organizirana delavnica v Karlsruheju. Strokovnjaki iz več držav so skupaj s predstavniki GICNT, IAEA in Interpola izmenjali najboljše prakse in spoznanja, ki so jih pridobili med prizadevanji za boljšo izrabo preiskovalnih in tehničnih zmogljivosti za boj proti tihotapljenju jedrskih in drugih radioaktivnih materialov. JRC je 23. novembra 2016 v Karlsruheju za vse države članice EU organiziralo vajo na visoki ravni na podlagi scenarijev z naslovom „APEX-Europe“. |

Regionalna vprašanja

| 22. | Evropsko unijo še vedno zelo skrbijo programi Demokratične ljudske republike Koreje (DLRK) na področju jedrskega orožja, orožja za množično uničevanje in balističnih izstrelkov ter odločitev DLRK, da nikakor ne bo več sodelovala z IAEA. VP/PP je najostreje obsodila jedrska poskusa, ki ju je DLRK izvedla 6. januarja oziroma 9. septembra 2016. EU je izrabila sleherno priložnost, da bi izrazila svojo zaskrbljenost in opozorila na dvoje, in sicer da (a) so poskusne detonacije jedrskega orožja grožnja mednarodnemu miru in varnosti ter spodkopavajo ureditev neširjenja orožja ter da (b) se z ravnanjem DLRK še zaostrujejo napetosti na Korejskem polotoku na škodo vseh in očitno kršijo njene mednarodne obveznosti na podlagi ustreznih resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN, vključno z RVSZN 2270 in RVSZN 2321, pa tudi na podlagi ustreznih resolucij generalne konference IAEA. EU je uveljavila vse ustrezne resolucije Varnostnega sveta ZN. V skladu s cilji teh resolucij je sprejela dodatne avtonomne omejevalne ukrepe, s katerimi je še odločneje stopila v bran mednarodni ureditvi neširjenja orožja. |
