Årlig lägesrapport om genomförandet av Europeiska unionens strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen (2020)

(2021/C 298/01)

INLEDNING

| 1. | Denna lägesrapport om genomförandet av Europeiska unionens strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen, som antogs av Europeiska rådet i december 2003 (dok. 15708/03), omfattar verksamheten under 2020. Rapporten är inte uttömmande, utan inriktad på den viktigaste utvecklingen. All verksamhet genomfördes, i ett större sammanhang, inom EU:s säkerhetspolitik och strategin för EU:s säkerhetsunion för perioden 2020–2025. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | År 2020 saknar motstycke på grund av covid-19-pandemin som allvarligt påverkade det multilaterala arbetet, främst genom reserestriktioner. Ett antal multilaterala möten, framför allt den tionde granskningskonferensen för icke-spridningsfördraget, sköts upp, men många andra möten kunde anordnas online. På så sätt kunde de multilaterala diskussionerna fortsätta, även om man måste erkänna att interaktionen via videokonferens har sina begränsningar. Eftersom det mesta av EU:s arbete mot massförstörelsevapen sker i multilaterala forum innebar detta nya utmaningar. |

| 3. | Den globala strategin för Europeiska unionens utrikes- och säkerhetspolitik (dok. 10715/16 REV 2), Europeiska unionens strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen samt de nya handlingslinjerna (dok. 17172/08) utgör grundvalen för Europeiska unionens vägledande principer, som förblir följande:






  a) | Reell multilateralism, vilket inbegriper att värna om betydelsen av det globala systemet för icke-spridning och nedrustning och främja dess universalitet genom diplomati och ekonomiskt stöd till tredjeländer och internationella organisationer. |

| 5. | Rådets arbetsgrupp för icke-spridning sammanträdde nio gånger under 2020, varav en gång på direktörsnivå och sju via informella videokonferenser på grund av pandemin, för att diskutera EU:s ståndpunkter och framtida verksamhet. EU-delegationerna i Wien, Genève och New York utarbetade och samordnade dussintals EU-uttalanden för multilaterala forum och bidrog aktivt till utformningen av politiken genom regelbundna EU-samordningsmöten och medverkan i arbetsgruppsmötena. |

NUKLEÄRA FRÅGOR

| 6. | EU förblir fast beslutet att främja en universalisering och ett fullständigt, komplett och verkningsfullt genomförande av icke-spridningsfördraget, ikraftträdandet och universaliseringen av CTBT och inledandet och ett snabbt slutförande av förhandlingarna, vid nedrustningskonferensen, om ett fördrag om förbud för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar. Upprättandet av en zon i Mellanöstern fri från massförstörelsevapen och deras bärare förblir också en prioritering för EU. EU:s bidrag till Unidir enligt rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/938 (1) till stöd för en förtroendeskapande process för att upprätta en sådan zon fortsatte under 2020. |

Fördraget om förhindrande av spridning av kärnvapen och Internationella atomenergiorganet

| 7. | Granskningsprocessen avseende icke-spridningsfördraget skulle slutföras i april/maj 2020 vid icke-spridningsfördragets tionde granskningskonferens. På grund av den globala hälsosituationen och relaterade reserestriktioner enades statsparterna i mars 2020 om att skjuta upp granskningskonferensen till januari 2021. Senare under året sköts granskningskonferensen preliminärt upp igen, till augusti 2021. EU bidrog till alla relevanta debatter som anordnades både virtuellt och med fysisk närvaro, däribland till den allmänna debatten vid den 75:e sessionen i FN:s generalförsamlings första utskott för nedrustning och internationell säkerhet. |

| 8. | Genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/615 (2) fortsatte under 2020 med två verksamheter som utfördes av FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda): ett tematiskt seminarium om den första pelaren (kärnvapennedrustning), som hölls i Genève (29–30 januari) och ett tematiskt seminarium om den andra pelaren (icke-spridning av kärnmaterial), som hölls i New York (2–3 mars). Det främsta målet med rådets beslut är att bidra till en lyckad granskningskonferens och till framtagandet av en rad realistiska och genomförbara åtgärder och rekommendationer som man kan uppnå konsensus om. De två återstående regionala mötena, som syftade till att behandla icke-spridningsfördragets samtliga tre pelare ur perspektivet regionala prioriteringar och farhågor, kunde inte anordnas. Rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/615 om unionsstöd till verksamheten inför 2020 års granskningskonferens förlängdes i juni 2020, utan att detta medför några kostnader, till och med den 16 april 2021 genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2020/906 (3). |

| 9. | EU fortsatte att stödja Internationella atomenergiorganets (IAEA) huvudsakliga ansvarsområden i fråga om icke-spridning, kärnsäkerhet, nukleärt fysiskt skydd, kärnenergitillämpningar och tekniskt samarbete, bland annat genom relevant ekonomiskt stöd. EU och Euratom deltog aktivt i alla möten i IAEA:s styrande organ, med EU-samordning i Wien. Två EU-stödda resolutioner om kärnämneskontroll och nukleärt fysiskt skydd antogs med konsensus vid IAEA:s 64:e generalkonferens i september 2020. |

11.

| 12. | Gemensamma forskningscentrumet (JRC) och IAEA fortsatte att genomföra en praktisk överenskommelse om samarbete om kärnvetenskapliga tillämpningar, som undertecknades i anslutning till EU:s och IAEA:s femte möte mellan högre tjänstemän (den 15 februari 2017) i syfte att utveckla gemensam verksamhet och undvika dubbelarbete. Denna praktiska överenskommelse omfattar bland annat miljöövervakning av radioaktivitet, mätt över Europa och ett antal andra platser i världen i form av genomsnitt av och högsta värden för gammadosrat för de senaste 24 timmarna. Dessa mätningar kommer från ungefär 5 500 mätstationer som drivs av de behöriga nationella myndigheterna i 39 länder som rapporterar de senaste radiologiska värdena till Europeiska unionens plattform för utbyte av radiologiska data (Eurdep). Anmälan om en radiologisk olycka eller nödsituation görs genom nätverk för tidig information såsom Europeiska unionens system för snabbt utbyte av information i radiologiska nödsituationer (Ecurie) eller Emercon, som drivs av Europeiska kommissionen respektive IAEA, efter samråd med de behöriga nationella myndigheterna. |

12.

| 13. | Den gemensamma övergripande handlingsplanen (JCPOA) är en central del av den globala arkitekturen för förhindrande av spridning av kärnvapen och resultatet av multilateral diplomati. Det är av avgörande betydelse för europeisk säkerhet att överenskommelsen genomförs fullt ut. EU har upprepade gånger beklagat att Iran sedan juli 2019 och under hela 2020 har minskat sina åtaganden på det kärntekniska området inom ramen för JCPOA. EU:s höga representant, i egenskap av samordnare för den gemensamma kommittén för JCPOA, förblir fast besluten att samarbeta med det internationella samfundet för att bevara och säkerställa ett fullständigt genomförande av JCPOA. Vi har välkomnat utsikterna om USA:s återkomst till JCPOA och Irans återgång till ett fullständigt genomförande av densamma, och vi stöder de pågående intensiva diplomatiska insatserna och kontakten mellan EU:s höga representant och alla relevanta partner. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Samtidigt fortsätter EU också att bidra till genomförandet av JCPOA genom att samordna den gemensamma kommittén och arbetsgrupper på expertnivå som har inrättats inom ramen för handlingsplanen. EU fortsätter också att stödja IAEA:s långsiktiga uppdrag att verifiera och övervaka Irans kärntekniska åtaganden. Trots coronarelaterade restriktioner fortsätter EU att samarbeta med Iran på det civila kärnteknikområdet enligt bilaga III till JCPOA på kärnsäkerhetsområdet. JCPOA:s upphandlingskanal, som granskar överföringar av kärntekniska föremål eller produkter med dubbla användningsområden till Iran, är fortfarande fullt operativ. Under 2020 sammanträdde arbetsgruppen för upphandling sju gånger och den negativa trenden avseende förslag som observerats under 2019 vände. Iran förblir EU:s största mottagare av stöd inom kärnsäkerhetsområdet. Det civila kärntekniska samarbetet mellan EU och Iran omfattar stöd vid moderniseringen av forskningsreaktorn i Arak (Khondab), Irans tillsynsmyndighet för kärnsäkerhet (INRA), IAEA:s verifiering och övervakning i Iran, stresstester för kärnkraftverket Bushehr och leverans av utrustning till Irans kärnsäkerhetscentrum vid INRA. |

| 15. | Övergripande avtal om kärnämneskontroll tillsammans med tilläggsprotokoll utgör den nuvarande kontrollstandarden och EU fortsätter att uppmana till universell anslutning till dessa. Det nära samarbetet mellan Euratom och IAEA möjliggör ändamålsenlig och effektiv kärnämneskontroll. EU stöder aktivt IAEA:s system för kärnämneskontroll genom Europeiska kommissionens program för stöd till kärnämneskontroll, instrumentet för kärnsäkerhetssamarbete och medlemsstaternas stödprogram. Stödprogrammet stärkte tidigare IAEA:s kapacitet i fråga om kärnämneskontroll, inbegripet kapaciteten att verifiera genomförandet av JCPOA genom att tillhandahålla utbildning för IAEA:s inspektörer med ansvar för kärnämneskontroll på området utvidgat tillträde och drift av Compucea (kombinerat förfarande för analys av koncentration och anrikning av uran) för kontroll av UF6-anrikning, inbegripet respektive referensmaterial. Programmet stöder IAEA:s nätverk av analyslaboratorier i sina JCPOA-verifieringsuppdrag med analystjänster, standardiserade metoder och verktyg för kvalitetskontroll. IAEA:s nätverk av analyslaboratorier stöds i synnerhet av partikelanalys och av produktionen och certifieringen av referenspartiklar när det gäller att utveckla nya metoder och mätprotokoll för analys av miljöprover enligt tilläggsprotokollet. |

15.

| 16. | Europeiska kommissionen fortsätter att driva och aktivt stödja ESARDA (European Safeguards Research and Development Association), som också fortsätter sin internationella utåtriktade verksamhet genom sina samförståndsavtal med African Commission on Nuclear Energy och Asian Pacific Safeguards Network i nära samarbete med Institute for Nuclear Materials Management. ESARDA:s arbetsgrupper utvecklar, testar och validerar innovativa strategier för kärnämneskontroll och icke-spridning vilket direkt gynnar direktoratet för kärnämneskontroll vid GD Energi och IAEA:s avdelning för kärnämneskontroll. Trots coronarelaterade restriktioner genomfördes teknisk distansutbildning om urananrikning, verifiering av plutoniumisotopers sammansättning och tekniken Laser Mapping for Containment Verification (LMCV) för Euratominspektörer. Före pandemin hölls också utbildning om neutronmätning. Den väletablerade ESARDA-kursen om kärnämneskontroll och icke-spridning ställdes dock in 2020 och omfattande scenarier utarbetades för 2021 års kurs (12–16 april 2021). Forsknings- och utvecklingsresultat och utbildningsinitiativ stärker den europeiska och den internationella kapaciteten när det gäller kärnämneskontroll och strategisk handelskontroll. Avknoppningar från detta arbete användes för att bidra till initiativ för nukleärt fysiskt skydd och kärnvapennedrustning. JRC fick erfarenhet av teknisk distansutbildning för inspektörer med ansvar för kärnämneskontroll, som delades med IAEA genom trilaterala möten (IAEA, Euratom och JRC). ESARDA:s traditionsenliga majmöte i Luxemburg sköts upp till november 2020 och organiserades tillsammans med IRSN i ett virtuellt format med 270 deltagare. ESARDA förbereder nu det första gemensamma årliga mötet med Institute for Nuclear Materials Management, som planeras bli ett virtuellt evenemang i slutet av augusti 2021. |

16.

| 17. | Europeiska kommissionen har finansierat ett stort utbildningsprojekt om kärnämneskontroll tillsammans med European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN). Inom ramen för detta kontrakt samarbetar ENEN med Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), JRC, ESARDA och IAEA om att inrätta det första akademiska forskarprogrammet någonsin om kärnämneskontroll för läsåret 2021/2022. En särskild rekryteringskampanj pågår för studenter utanför Europa, och man har hittat närmare 35 expertföreläsare för kursen. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | Rådet beslutade 2020 på förslag av Europeiska utrikestjänsten att bidra till universaliseringen av delar av IAEA:s system för kärnämneskontroll, med särskild inriktning på det ändrade protokollet om små kvantiteter och tilläggsprotokollet, genom en rad démarcher som ska göras i tredjestater (6). Dessa démarcher inleddes i december 2020. |

18.

| 19. | EU och dess medlemsstater fäster mycket stor vikt vid ett globalt genomförande och en kontinuerlig förbättring av kärnsäkerheten. EU har gett rättslig verkan åt målen i Wiendeklarationen om kärnsäkerhet genom det ändrade kärnsäkerhetsdirektivet, som trädde i kraft 2017. En central del i det ändrade direktivet är att ett säkerhetsmål införts för alla aktörer för att förhindra olyckor och undvika betydande radioaktiva utsläpp. Genom det ändrade direktivet läggs även tematiska inbördes granskningar till i Euratoms lagstiftning. En första tematisk inbördes granskning har genomförts med gott resultat. Alla EU:s medlemsstater har införlivat de nya bestämmelserna i sin nationella lagstiftning. |

19.

| 20. | För att främja fredlig användning av kärnenergi har EU avsatt 325 miljoner euro under perioden 2014–2020 till främjande av kärnsäkerhet, strålskydd och tillämpning av en effektiv och ändamålsenlig kärnämneskontroll i tredjeländer. Europeiska kommissionen stöder, i samarbete med IAEA och andra partner, genomförandet av den strategiska översiktsplanen för miljösanering i Centralasien, som ska finansieras av det särskilda kontot för miljösanering som förvaltas av EBRD. I egenskap av den största givaren upprätthåller EU sina kontakter med mottagarländerna (Kirgizistan, Tadzjikistan och Uzbekistan) med målet att få dem att engagera sig och inleda konkreta renings- och saneringsprojekt. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | EU och dess medlemsstater fortsätter med sitt starka stöd för IAEA:s program för tekniskt samarbete, bland annat genom betydande bidrag till fonden för tekniskt samarbete och initiativet för fredlig användning. EU och dess medlemsstater tillhör de största bidragsgivarna till programmet för tekniskt samarbete, som är ett viktigt verktyg för att möjliggöra en säker, trygg och fredlig användning av kärnteknik och uppfylla målen i Agenda 2030 för hållbar utveckling. |
| --- | --- |

21.

| 22. | EU och IAEA håller vanligen ett årligt möte mellan högre tjänstemän, där deras breda samarbete ses över och planeras. Även om årsmötet 2020 inte kunde hållas på grund av pandemin upprätthölls nära kontakter mellan EU och IAEA via andra kanaler. |

Fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar

| 23. | Ikraftträdandet och universaliseringen av fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar (CTBT) är viktiga mål för EU:s strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen. Alla EU:s medlemsstater har visat prov på sitt engagemang för fördraget genom att ratificera det och tillämpa de grundläggande skyldigheterna enligt fördraget. CTBT är en effektiv åtgärd för att skapa förtroende och säkerhet. Under 2020 ägnade sig EU åt diplomatisk verksamhet till stöd för CTBT, som anpassats till de begränsade möjligheter som pandemin medför. Att främja ikraftträdandet av CTBT var en av åtgärderna i FN:s generalsekreterares nedrustningsagenda Securing our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament, som EU ställde sig bakom. EU har upprepade gånger efterlyst en ratificering av fördraget i sina uttalanden i relaterade forum samt i sina bilaterala kontakter med berörda länder i bilaga II och med övriga länder. Vid sidan av dessa medverkade det särskilda sändebudet för icke-spridning och nedrustning den 6 oktober 2020 i panelen vid webbseminariet The CTBT and the 10th NPT Review Conference, som anordnades av organisationen för fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar (CTBTO). |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | EU lyfter konsekvent fram fördelarna med fördraget samt dess bidrag till fred, säkerhet, nedrustning och icke-spridning, inbegripet i dess civila tillämpningar. EU:s ekonomiska stöd till den förberedande kommissionen för CTBTO förlängdes med ytterligare tre år 2020 genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2020/901 (7) om unionens stöd för den verksamhet som bedrivs av den förberedande kommissionen för organisationen för fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar (CTBTO) i syfte att stärka dess övervaknings- och kontrollkapacitet. EU och dess medlemsstater bidrog också till underhållet och stärkandet av CTBT:s verifieringsystem genom tekniskt stöd, kapacitetsuppbyggnad och underlättande av experters medverkan i CTBTO:s möten, i synnerhet till utvecklingsländer. EU medverkade aktivt i sessionerna i den förberedande kommissionen för CTBTO, arbetsgrupperna A och B. EU:s samordning utfördes i arbetsgruppen för icke-spridning och i Wien. |

Initiativ avseende nukleärt fysiskt skydd

| 25. | EU stödde sammankallandet och resultatet av den internationella konferensen om nukleärt fysiskt skydd (ICONS 2020), som hölls i februari 2020. I dess ministerförklaring upprepas åtagandet att upprätthålla och stärka ett effektivt och fullständigt nukleärt fysiskt skydd avseende alla kärnämnen och andra radioaktiva material och anläggningar. Dessutom erkänns IAEA:s centrala roll vad gäller att underlätta och samordna det internationella samarbetet på området nukleärt fysiskt skydd. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | EU fortsatte att främja den internationella konventionen för bekämpande av nukleär terrorism (ICSANT) och ändringen av konventionen om fysiskt skydd av kärnämne som centrala beståndsdelar i den globala arkitekturen för nukleärt fysiskt skydd och antiterrorism. FN:s drog- och brottsbekämpningsbyrå och FN:s kontor för terrorismbekämpning fortsatte genomföra rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/1939 om unionens stöd för universalisering och effektivt genomförande av den internationella konventionen för bekämpande av nukleär terrorism. Målen för rådets beslut är att få fler att ansluta sig till ICSANT (8), att öka medvetenheten bland nationella beslutsfattare och att genomföra kapacitetsuppbyggnad för att förbättra den nationella lagstiftningen och stärka kapaciteten hos de nationella berörda aktörerna, till exempel tjänstemän inom rättsväsendet som ska utreda, lagföra och avgöra ärenden som gäller nukleär terrorism. Ett antal evenemang som planerats för 2020 sköts upp eller hölls med framgång i virtuellt format på grund av pandemin. |

28.

| 29. | EU:s centrum för utbildning i nukleärt fysiskt skydd (Eusectra), med uppgift att upptäcka och vidta åtgärder mot olagliga handlingar som involverar kärnämne och annat radioaktivt material, har varit fullt operativt sedan 2013 till gagn för Europeiska unionens medlemsstater och partnerländer, däribland flera GICNT-medlemmar. Centrumet drivs av JRC vid dess anläggningar i Karlsruhe (Tyskland) och Ispra (Italien), i nära samarbete med olika internationella initiativ som har lanserats av IAEA och av flera partnerländer i GICNT. Centrumet används även för praktiska övningar främst rörande bekämpning av smuggling av kärnämne. Eusectra arbetar aktivt med att tillgodose utbildningsbehov i EU:s medlemsstater och hos EU:s partner, inbegripet genom de samordnade utbildningar för medlemsstaternas delegater inom tull och brottsbekämpning som redan har genomförts, och som planeras genomföras på nytt 2019–2021 (i direkt samarbete med generaldirektoratet för migration och inrikes frågor och generaldirektoratet för skatter och tullar). Eusectra stärker den infrastruktur som används för att genomföra utbildningen, utvecklar verktyg för virtuellt lärande och tillhandahåller en bedömning av utrustningens prestanda på begäran av EU:s medlemsstater. Pandemin har begränsat möjligheterna till utbildning med fysisk närvaro. En hybridstrategi har utvecklats med moderna metoder, med fokus på övningar på fältet med fjärranvändning av instrument och verklig användning av kärnämnen och radioaktivt material för att upprätthålla insatserna mot CBRN-relaterade hot och nukleär terrorism. |

31.

| 32. | Europeiska kommissionen fortsatte att bygga upp EU-medlemsstaternas kapacitet att testa och utvärdera prestandan hos utrustning som används för att upptäcka olaglig handel med kärnämnen och radioaktiva material genom programmet ITRAP+10 Phase II, som ska leda till ytterligare harmonisering och standardisering och väsentligt bidra till internationella standarder. I detta syfte anordnade kommissionen också ett välbesökt sidoevenemang vid den internationella konferensen om nukleärt fysiskt skydd (ICONS) 2020. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Europeiska kommissionen fortsätter att spela en viktig roll i arbetsgruppen för gränsövervakning avseende nukleärt fysiskt skydd. Den var ordförande för både arbetsgruppen för gränsförvaltning och dess två undergrupper om detektionsteknik och kapacitetsuppbyggnad. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Kommissionen fortsatte med sin forskning om utvecklingen av en ny metod för oförstörande provning, nämligen tekniken delayed gamma spectrometry (DGS) för kontroll av ett kärnämnes egenskaper, i samarbete med IAEA. En gemensam åtgärd (JRC och IAEA) inom ramen för programmet till stöd för IAEA lades fram. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | Under 2020 lanserade generaldirektoratet för skatter och tullar, med stöd av JRC och Eusectra, ett interaktivt e-lärandeprogram för tulltjänstemän om gränskontroller avseende radioaktiva ämnen och kärnämnen. Den grundläggande modulen visar tulltjänstemännens viktiga roll när det gäller att upptäcka kärnämnen och radioaktiva material och gör dem medvetna om risker och hot, och de får en grundläggande introduktion om relevanta material och processer och relevant utrustning. I den avancerade modulen behandlas samma ämnesområden mer ingående. Båda kurserna innehåller realistiska scenarier vid kusthamnar, flygplatser, järnvägar och landgränser där kursdeltagarna kan testa sitt beslutsfattande. Samarbetet mellan JRC och generaldirektoratet för skatter och tullar har skapat större synergier mellan medlemsstaternas tullförvaltningar. De utbildningar som tillhandahålls vid Eusectra blir en plattform där nationella experter kan utbyta bästa praxis om nukleärt fysiskt skydd på området gränsskydd, och kan på så sätt bidra till att harmoniserade förfaranden utvecklas. Detta är en del av en satsning på att gemensamt bekämpa olaglig handel med kärnmaterial och underlätta handeln med hjälp av tullstationer. Slutmålet är att förhindra att enskilda får tillgång till skadliga material genom att främja en gemensam kärnsäkerhetskultur. |

Initiativ avseende nukleär kontroll

| 36. | EU och dess medlemsstater stod bakom inrättandet av en grupp av regeringsexperter för kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning vid FN:s generalförsamling 2016, välkomnade diskussionerna i gruppen och samtyckte till rekommendationen att fortsätta med arbetet med beaktande av gruppens rapport. EU stöder fullt ut FN:s generalförsamlings resolution 74/50 och inrättandet av en ny grupp av regeringsexperter, som sammankallas 2021 och 2022 och som ska fortsätta att undersöka kontrollens roll i kärnvapennedrustningen. EU stöder det arbete som bedrivs i bredare partnerskap och samarbetsbaserade kontrollarrangemang och har deltagit i arbetet inom International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) sedan det invigdes 2015. EU stöder också åtgärden avseende kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning i FN:s generalsekreterares nedrustningsagenda Securing our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament. |

Regionala frågor

| 37. | EU och dess medlemsstater fortsatte att enträget uppmana Nordkorea att vidta konkreta åtgärder i riktning mot att lägga ned sina program för massförstörelsevapen och ballistiska robotar på ett fullständigt, kontrollerbart och oåterkalleligt sätt. Detta återspeglades i alla EU:s relevanta uttalanden. EU såg Nordkoreas uppskjutningar av ballistiska robotar i mars och april 2020 som en överträdelse av landets skyldigheter enligt ett flertal av FN:s säkerhetsråds resolutioner, som ett allvarligt hot mot regional och internationell fred och säkerhet och anser att de undergräver de internationella insatserna för varaktig fred och säkerhet på Koreahalvön. Demonstrationen av uppenbart nya robotar i oktober och Nordkoreas påståenden om att landet inte längre anser sig vara skyldigt att upprätthålla ett moratorium för kärnvapenprov och interkontinentala ballistiska robotar undergrävde ytterligare möjligheten att återuppta dialogen. EU uppmanade Nordkorea att omedelbart stoppa alla uppskjutningar, delta i meningsfulla förhandlingar, vidta konkreta och trovärdiga förtroendeskapande åtgärder och lägga ned alla sina program för kärnvapen och ballistiska robotar på ett fullständigt, kontrollerbart och oåterkalleligt sätt. EU fortsatte att enträget uppmana Nordkorea att fullt ut följa alla relevanta resolutioner från FN:s säkerhetsråd och uppfylla sina övriga internationella skyldigheter och åtaganden, att utan dröjsmål underteckna och ratificera CTBT samt att återigen börja uppfylla sina skyldigheter i fråga om kärnämneskontroll enligt icke-spridningsfördraget. EU har snabbt införlivat alla säkerhetsrådets resolutioner i EU-lagstiftningen och har dessutom antagit strikta autonoma sanktioner som kompletterar och skärper de sanktioner som antagits av FN. EU fortsatte sitt arbete med att uppmuntra andra länder att fullt ut genomföra sanktioner mot Nordkorea. I ett uttalande från utrikestjänstens talesperson den 16 juni beklagar EU Nordkoreas handlingar, som ger upphov till spänningar, och uppmanar till ett återupptagande av en varaktig diplomatisk process i syfte att skapa förtroende och varaktig fred och säkerhet på Koreahalvön, utan kärnvapen, så snart som möjligt. |

Nedrustningskonferensen/fördraget om förbud mot framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar

| 38. | EU står fortsatt enat bakom en kontrollerbar och fördragsbaserad kärnvapennedrustning och rustningskontroll, och understryker behovet av att förnya de multilaterala ansträngningarna och ge ny kraft åt de multilaterala förhandlingsorganen, och då särskilt nedrustningskonferensen. EU:s prioritering i nedrustningskonferensen är sedan länge att omedelbart inleda förhandlingar om ett fördrag om förbud för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar (FMCT). EU stöder inledandet av sådana förhandlingar i enlighet med dokument CD/1299 och mandatet i detta. EU uppmanar alla medlemmar av nedrustningskonferensen att utan dröjsmål inleda förhandlingar om FMCT och att påbörja arbetet med andra frågor på dagordningen. Genom rådets beslut (EU) 2017/2284 (9) av den 11 december 2017 tillhandahåller EU ekonomiskt stöd till FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda) för att underlätta afrikanska, asiatiska, latinamerikanska och karibiska länders deltagande i FMCT-relaterade samråd och annan verksamhet. EU uppmanar dessutom alla länder som har kärnvapen att, om de inte redan har gjort det, utfärda och upprätthålla ett omedelbart moratorium för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar. Den EU-medlemsstat som är en kärnvapenstat har utfärdat de relevanta moratorierna och avvecklat sådana anläggningar. |

KEMISKA VAPEN

| 39. | EU fortsatte att politiskt, diplomatiskt och finansiellt stödja Organisationen för förbud mot kemiska vapen (OPCW) för att säkerställa ett fullständigt och effektivt genomförande av och universell anslutning till konventionen om kemiska vapen (CWC). |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | I detta sammanhang fortsatte genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/538 (10) av den 1 april 2019. Beslutet ger EU-stöd till OPCW:s kärnverksamhet (t.ex. nationellt genomförande, internationellt samarbete, universalisering, programmet för Afrika) så att det omfattar perioden 2019–2022. Beslutet innebär också ett betydande bidrag till uppgraderingen av OPCW:s laboratorium till ett centrum för kemi och teknik samt till genomförandet av OPCW:s beslut C-SS-4/DEC.3 om bemötande av hotet från användning av kemiska vapen, som antogs vid den särskilda sessionen i konferensen för de stater som är parter i CWC den 27 juni 2018. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | EU upprätthöll sitt starka stöd för det arbete som utförs av OPCW:s undersökningsuppdrag, gruppen för utvärdering av deklarationen och OPCW:s utrednings- och identifieringsgrupp när det gäller att utreda rapporter om användning av kemiska vapen i Syrien, försöka åtgärda de brister och inkonsekvenser som konstaterats i Syriens ursprungliga deklaration samt utreda och identifiera förövarna av kemiska attacker i Syrien. I detta sammanhang fortsatte genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/2303, ändrat genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/2112, till stöd för genomförandet av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 2118 (2013) och beslutet av OPCW:s verkställande råd EC-M-33/DEC.1 om förstöring av Syriens kemiska vapen (11), särskilt genom tillhandahållandet av satellitbilder till stöd för OPCW:s verksamhet i Syrien. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | I linje med Europeiska rådets slutsatser av den 28 juni 2018 i vilka EU åtog sig att stödja genomförandet av beslut C-SS-4/DEC.3 från den extra konferensen för parterna i konventionen om kemiska vapen den 27 juni 2018 om inrättande av en mekanism för ansvarstillskrivning som svar på den upprepade användningen av dessa vapen sedan 2012, och för att säkerställa antagandet av utkastet till OPCW:s program och budget för 2021 utfärdade EU en démarche till ett stort antal konventionsstater och bad dem att medverka till och ge sitt stöd för ett lyckat resultat av första delen av konventionsstaternas 25:e konferens (CSP-25) den 30 november–1 december 2020. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Under 2020 fortsatte genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/1252 av den 11 juli 2017 till stöd för stärkt kemikalieskydd och kemikaliesäkerhet i Ukraina i linje med genomförandet av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och bärare av dessa (12). Genom detta beslut har EU stött den nationella kapacitetsuppbyggnaden i Ukraina, i synnerhet inrättandet av Ukrainas nationella referenscentrum som ska identifiera kontrollerade och giftiga kemikalier. |
| --- | --- |

43.

BIOLOGISKA VAPEN

| 44. | EU och dess medlemsstater är starka anhängare av konventionen om biologiska vapen och toxinvapen (BTWC) och är mycket engagerade i internationella insatser för att förbättra biosäkerheten och bioskyddet runt om i världen. Genom gemensamma åtgärder och rådsbeslut har EU tillhandahållit nära 10 miljoner euro i direkt stöd till BTWC sedan 2006. Dessutom har EU bidragit med ytterligare 6 miljoner euro till stöd för att stärka biosäkerheten och bioskyddet i Ukraina och i ett antal länder i Latinamerika samt till stöd för FN:s generalsekreterares mekanism för utredning av påstådd användning av kemiska och biologiska vapen och toxinvapen. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | I juli 2020 genomförde EU en utåtriktad kampanj om universalisering gentemot 13 länder som ännu inte är parter i konventionen om biologiska vapen och toxinvapen, och uppmanade dem att ansluta sig till konventionen före den nionde granskningskonferensen. |
| --- | --- |

45.

| 46. | Under 2020 fortsatte genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2019/97 till stöd för konventionen om biologiska vapen och toxinvapen (13), men det hindrades avsevärt av covid-19-pandemin. Genom beslutet anslås en budget på 3 miljoner euro till FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda) för perioden 2019–2022. Detta gör det möjligt för enheten till stöd för BTWC:s genomförande att bidra till sex nya projekt till stöd för universalisering: bygga upp kapacitet för nationellt genomförande, bland annat genom tre inbördes granskningar, främja biosäkerhet på södra halvklotet, utveckla verktyg för utåtriktad verksamhet, utbildning och engagemang samt öka beredskapen för bioattacker. Den 14 oktober 2020 lanserades det nationella beredskapsprogrammet för Nigeria samt en online-utbildning om utarbetande och inlämning av förtroendeskapande åtgärder genom ett virtuellt möte. |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | Under 2020 försenades genomförandet av rådets antagna beslut (Gusp) 2019/1296 av den 31 juli 2019 till stöd för stärkt biosäkerhet och bioskydd i Ukraina i linje med genomförandet av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och bärare av dessa (14). Detta beslut genomförs av OSSE och ger 1,9 miljoner euro i stöd under tre år. Genom beslutet stöder EU stärkt biosäkerhet och bioskydd i Ukraina, i första hand genom att förbättra Ukrainas förutsättningar för lagstiftning och reglering och systemen för människors och djurs hälsa samt genom att öka kunskapen bland forskare inom livsvetenskaper. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | Under 2020 fortsatte genomförandet av rådets antagna beslut (Gusp) 2019/2108 av den 9 december 2019 till stöd för stärkt biosäkerhet och bioskydd i Latinamerika i linje med genomförandet av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och bärare av dessa (15), men det hindrades avsevärt av covid-19-pandemin. Detta beslut genomförs av Amerikanska samarbetsorganisationen och ger stöd värt 2,7 miljoner euro under tre år. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | Den 2 juni 2020 antog rådet beslut (Gusp) 2020/732 av den 2 juni 2020 till stöd för FN:s generalsekreterares mekanism för utredning av påstådd användning av kemiska och biologiska vapen eller toxinvapen (16), som genomförs av Unoda och tillhandahåller 1,4 miljoner euro under tre år. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | På grund av covid-19-pandemin sköts alla BTWC-möten 2020 upp till 2021. Den nionde granskningskonferensen sköts upp till 2022. I oktober–november 2020 anordnade enheten till stöd för BTWC:s genomförande en rad informella webbseminarier om de ämnesområden som avhandlats vid expertgruppens fem möten. |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | I oktober 2020 genomförde EU en utåtriktad kampanj i New York och Genève där de uppmanade FN:s medlemsstater att, vid den 75:e sessionen i FN:s generalförsamling, inte stödja ett utkast till resolution om FN:s generalsekreterares mekanism, eftersom det inte stämde med mekanismens uppgift i egenskap av oberoende internationellt instrument för utredning av påstådd användning av kemiska och biologiska vapen som EU kraftfullt stöder. |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | Den 12 oktober 2020 förlängde EU genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2020/1466 (17) sin ordning för restriktiva åtgärder för motverkande av användning och spridning av kemiska vapen med ytterligare 12 månader. Den 14 oktober 2020 antog rådet beslut (Gusp) 2020/1482 (18) genom vilket sex personer och en enhet fördes upp på förteckningen över fysiska och juridiska personer, enheter och organ som är föremål för restriktiva åtgärder. |

BALLISTISKA MISSILER

Haag-uppförandekoden

| 53. | Den internationella uppförandekoden mot spridning av ballistiska missiler (Haag-uppförandekoden) är resultatet av det internationella samfundets ansträngningar för reglering på området ballistiska missiler som kan bära massförstörelsevapen. Haag-uppförandekoden är det enda multilaterala instrument för öppenhet och ökat förtroende som avser spridningen av ballistiska missiler. Att ansluta sig till Haag-uppförandekoden innebär ett åtagande att frivilligt föranmäla avfyrande av ballistiska missiler, uppskjutning av bärraketer och testflygningar. De anslutna länderna åtar sig också att lägga fram en årlig förklaring om sin politik avseende ballistiska missiler och bärraketer. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | EU har gett starkt stöd till Haag-uppförandekoden sedan den instiftades. Alla EU-medlemsstater har anslutit sig till den. Sedan undertecknandet och ikraftträdandet av den politiskt bindande Haag-uppförandekoden i november 2002 i Haag i Nederländerna har antalet signatärer ökat från 93 till 143. Detta är också en följd av EU:s diplomatiska kontakter med ett antal icke-anslutna stater till stöd för universalisering av uppförandekoden. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | EU främjar konsekvent universaliseringen, det fullständiga genomförandet och förbättringen av kodens funktion. Under det senaste årtiondet har rådet inom ramen för Gusp antagit en rad beslut och gemensamma åtgärder till stöd för Haag-uppförandekoden och för icke-spridning av missiler i allmänhet. Genom dessa rådsbeslut finansierar EU uppsökande verksamhet, bland annat sidoevenemang, forskningsrapporter, expertmöten och regionala informationsseminarier inom ramen för Haag-uppförandekoden. Dessa verksamheter genomförs av den Parisbaserade stiftelsen Fondation pour la recherche stratégique och vanligtvis medverkar även Haag-uppförandekodens roterande ordförandeskap. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | Genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/2370 (19) av den 18 december 2017 fortsätter EU att främja anslutningen till koden och på sikt dess universalisering, stödja ett fullständigt genomförande av koden, främja dialog mellan anslutna och icke-anslutna stater för att skapa förtroende och transparens, mana till återhållsamhet samt skapa mer stabilitet och säkerhet för alla, stärka kodens synlighet och öka allmänhetens medvetenhet om de risker och hot som spridning av ballistiska missiler medför samt utforska, i synnerhet genom akademiska studier, möjligheterna att förbättra koden och främja samarbete mellan koden och andra relevanta multilaterala instrument. |

FN:s SÄKERHETSRÅDS RESOLUTION 1540 OCH MINSKNING AV CBRN-RISKER

| 58. | FN:s säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) är alltjämt en central pelare i det internationella systemet för icke-spridning. Resolutionen är det första internationella instrument som på ett integrerat och övergripande sätt behandlar massförstörelsevapen, bärare av dessa vapen och material med koppling till dessa. I FN:s säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) fastställs bindande skyldigheter för alla länder. Dessa syftar till att förhindra och avhålla icke-statliga aktörer från att få tillgång till sådana vapen, deras bärare och allt material relaterat till såväl vapnen som deras bärare. Enligt resolutionen, som antogs i enlighet med kapitel VII i Förenta nationernas stadga, måste alla länder anta den lagstiftning som krävs för att hindra icke-statliga aktörer från att skaffa kärnvapen, kemiska vapen eller biologiska vapen och för att upprätta lämplig inhemsk kontroll över material med koppling till sådana vapen i syfte att förhindra olaglig handel. Den övergripande översynen av säkerhetsrådets resolution 1540 under 2016 bekräftade på nytt resolutionens centrala roll, dess betydelse och dess auktoritet, i enlighet med vad som återspeglas i säkerhetsrådets resolution 2325. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | I syfte att bidra till genomförandet av resultatet av den övergripande översynen 2016 och stödja ett fullständigt genomförande av säkerhetsrådets resolution 1540 antog rådet den 11 maj 2017 rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/809 (20) till stöd för genomförande av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och bärare av dessa. Rådets beslut omfattar en period på 48 månader och genomförs av FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda) i New York som har gett OSSE i Wien i uppdrag att genomföra delar av beslutet. EU:s finansiering bidrar till att hjälpa länder att fastställa särskilt tekniskt bistånd, informera om relevanta program för tekniskt bistånd och till att förbättra samarbetet med internationella och regionala organisationer till stöd för nationell kapacitetsuppbyggnad. |

59.

| 60. | JRC överlämnade officiellt ett exemplar av Strategic Trade Atlas till ordföranden för 1540-utskottet, som utarbetats av JRC tillsammans med Argonne National Laboratory vid det amerikanska energidepartementet. Strategic Trade Atlas togs fram för att främja förståelsen av globala handelsflöden för strategiska varor, dvs. varor av militärt strategiskt värde, inbegripet varor med dubbla användningsområden. Den publiceras i två volymer, med land- (21) och råvarubaserade (22) synpunkter på strategisk handel. Den används bland annat av Världstullorganisationen. Den bedömdes därför vara av intresse för 1540-utskottets expertgrupp. |

60.

| 61. | Initiativet för EU:s kompetenscentrum för CBRN inrättades 2010 som ett globalt program för kapacitetsuppbyggnad i syfte att minska risker i samband med kemiska, biologiska, radiologiska och nukleära material eller agens, oavsett om de härrör från uppsåtliga handlingar, olyckor eller har naturligt ursprung, och risker mot därmed förbundna anläggningar eller förläggningsplatser. Initiativet omfattar för närvarande 62 partnerländer, grupperade runt åtta regionala sekretariat i följande regioner: Afrikas Atlantkust, Centralasien, Öst- och Centralafrika, länderna i Gulfstaternas samarbetsråd. Mellanöstern, Nordafrika och Sahel, Sydostasien och sydöstra och östra Europa. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | EU:s kompetenscentrum för minskning av CBRN-risker har finansierats inom ramen för instrumentet som bidrar till stabilitet och fred, som löpte ut 2020 och kommer att ersättas av instrumentet för grannskapspolitik, utvecklingssamarbete och internationellt samarbete – Europa i världen 2021–2027. Kompetenscentrumen har gjort framsteg när det gäller att minska riskerna i samband med CBRN-material, genom att förbättra kapaciteter och samarbete på nationell och regional nivå och genom att främja en säkerhets- och samarbetskultur, enligt en rapport från Europeiska revisionsrätten från 2018 (SR14/2018, ECA). Deltagande länder får hjälp med att, på frivillig basis och utifrån en efterfrågestyrd regional strategi, upprätta nationella och regionala strukturer för samordning och styrning. Dessa plattformar utvecklar och stärker nationella politiska CBRN-strategier och bygger upp kapacitet på grundval av särskilda behov, riskbedömningar och nationella handlingsplaner. De stöds genom flera regionala samarbetsprojekt, som finansieras inom ramen för initiativet, och är öppna för andra finansieringsinstrument. Sedan 2010 har 85 regionala projekt erhållit finansiering. Initiativets budget för tioårsperioden från och med 2010 uppgår till cirka 250 miljoner euro. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Kompetenscentrumens nätverk är nu väl utvecklat. Under covid-19-pandemin visade det sig vara stabilt och hållbart när flera regionala sekretariat inledde en serie webbseminarier för att utbyta sakkunskap, erfarenheter och bästa praxis för epidemihantering. Flera länder fick ad hoc-stöd och hjälp att inrätta lämpliga förfaranden för att upptäcka de första tecknen på infektion. Långsiktigt bistånd med särskild inriktning på Afrika kommer att fortsätta att öka kapaciteten för tidig upptäckt och övervakning av mycket farliga patogener med One health-modellen. Såväl regionala CBRN-handlingsplaner som interregionalt samarbete börjar ta form i flera regioner. Dessutom är initiativet nu tillräckligt moget för att stödja ytterligare åtgärder med inriktning på säkerhetsstyrningsfrågor avseende it-brottslighet, terrorism, kritisk infrastruktur, förfalskade läkemedel, hybridhot och sprängämnen samt att ytterligare utveckla samarbetet gällande nukleär forensik, gränskontroll och kontroll av export av produkter med dubbla användningsområden. Inom ramen för EU:s nätverk av CBRN-kompetenscentrum utarbetade JRC under 2020, i samarbete med det amerikanska energidepartementet och kärnforskningsinstitutet Institute for Nuclear Research i Kiev, utbildningsverksamhet på området nukleärt fysiskt skydd för deltagare från Georgien, Ukraina, Azerbajdzjan och Republiken Moldavien, för att förbättra det nukleära fysiska skyddet i Svartahavsregionen, och stödde genomförandet av tre kärnsäkerhetsrelaterade projekt i Georgien, Ukraina, Azerbajdzjan och Republiken Moldavien. Skrivbords- och fältövningar baserade på scenarier med kärnämnessmuggling genomfördes i Ukraina och Republiken Moldavien. Utbildning av unga yrkesverksamma på kärnsäkerhetsområdet erbjöds vid Kievs kärnforskningsinstitut och Charkivs institut för fysik och teknik. Dessutom inrättades ett regionalt informationssystem för nukleär forensik. För att upprätthålla den nukleärforensiska kapaciteten i Svartahavsområdet inleddes tre uppföljningsprojekt för Georgien, Ukraina, Azerbajdzjan och Republiken Moldavien, som skulle inledas 2021 och förvaltas av det vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Ukraina. Dessutom utarbetades ett projekt för kapacitetsuppbyggnad inom nukleär forensik, förvaltat av Internationella vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Georgien och Armenien. Detta projekt kommer också att inledas under 2021. |

| 64. | Vad gäller de interna aspekterna av att minska CBRN-hot reviderades genomförandet av den handlingsplan för att förbättra beredskapen mot kemiska, biologiska, radiologiska och nukleära säkerhetsrisker som kommissionen lade fram i oktober 2017, som en del av ett bredare paket för terrorismbekämpning, mot slutet av 2019 och dokumentet betraktas fortfarande som den gällande policyramen på området för CBRN-hot. I 2020 års agenda för terrorismbekämpning stärktes vissa aspekter av CBRN, när det gäller hotet från kemiska agenser och i fråga om biosäkerhet. Vad gäller biosäkerhet undersöker kommissionen för närvarande om det är möjligt att begränsa tillgången till vissa av de kemikalier som kan användas i skadligt syfte. Arbetet med upptäckt inom CBRN – inbegripet de försök med utrustning som kommissionen samordnat och som vissa medlemsstater har inlett – fortsätter som planerat. En del av den CBRN-verksamhet som inleddes 2019 fick dock göra ett uppehåll under 2020; framför allt utbildningskampanjen om radiologiska hot för brottsbekämpande myndigheter i EU, som höll på att genomföras vid utbildningscentrumet Eusectra i Karlsruhe i Tyskland. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Genomförandet av handlingsplanen stöds av projekt som medfinansieras av instrumentet för ekonomiskt stöd till polissamarbete, förebyggande och bekämpande av brottslighet samt krishantering. Två av de utvalda projekten var särskilt relevanta för CBRN-politiken. I ett av dem (Mall-CBRN) undersöks skydd och beredskap vid CBRN-hot i stora köpcentrum, medan ett annat (Safe Stadium) har ett liknande upplägg för stora idrottsarenor, särskilt fotbollsarenor. En av fördelarna med båda initiativen är att relevanta slutanvändare deltar i konsortierna, t.ex. fotbollsklubben Real Madrid. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | EU:s handlingsplan för CBRN har erhållit vetenskapligt och tekniskt stöd från en rad olika forskningsprojekt, som finansierats av programmet Secure Society inom sjunde ramprogrammet. Forskningen omfattar hela krishanteringscykeln från förebyggande till återhämtning. Insatser för att fastställa standardiseringsbehov skulle kunna leda till europeiska standarder. Horisont 2020-programmet kommer att stärka det pågående arbetet inom CBRN-forskningen genom fokuserade teman. |

TANKESMEDJOR

| 67. | Med utgångspunkt i rådets beslut nr 2010/430/Gusp (23) av den 26 juli 2010 har genomförandet av EU:s strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen aktivt stötts av EU:s icke-spridnings- och nedrustningskonsortium, som inledde sin verksamhet i januari 2011. Den 26 februari 2018 antog rådet beslut (Gusp) 2018/299 (24), som ytterligare förlänger EU:s stöd till konsortiets verksamhet under perioden 2018–2021 genom att bygga vidare på de resultat som hittills uppnåtts och genom att lägga till nya projekt. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Konsortiets verksamhet innebar ett ökat synliggörande av EU gentemot tredjeländer och det civila samhället och bidrog avsevärt till utformningen av EU:s politik på områdena icke-spridning och nedrustning. Konsortiet utgör en plattform för informella kontakter mellan personer som är verksamma på fältet och hjälper till att främja en dialog mellan olika aktörer. Dess verksamhet har bidragit till att öka medvetenheten om de utmaningar som massförstörelsevapen och konventionella vapen medför och man har undersökt olika möjligheter att ta itu med dessa utmaningar. Konsortiet bygger vidare på ett omfattande nätverk bestående av 99 tankesmedjor och forskningscentrum över hela Europa, med medlemmar från samtliga EU-medlemsstater och från partnerländer som Schweiz, Turkiet och Ukraina. Under 2020 gick nio institut med i nätverket. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Vid alla evenemang som konsortiet sammankallade säkerställdes mångfald i fråga om deltagarnas och föredragshållarnas kön, ålder, sakkunskap och geografiska härkomst. På grund av omständigheter orsakade av covid-19-pandemin ägde dessa evenemang rum virtuellt under 2020. Mer specifikt anordnade konsortiet under 2020 följande verksamheter för genomförandet av rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/299:

EXPORTKONTROLL

| 71. | Under 2020 inledde arbetsgruppen för export av konventionella vapen arbetet med genomförandet av målen i rådets slutsatser om översynen av rådets gemensamma ståndpunkt 2008/944/Gusp (26) om kontrollen av vapenexport (27), Enligt arbetsgruppens överenskommelse öppnade Europeiska utrikestjänsten i oktober en databas på sin webbplats där allmänheten på ett användarvänligt sätt kan söka och analysera information om medlemsstaternas vapenexport. Databasen har välkomnats av många som en väsentlig förbättring av öppenheten när det gäller vapenexport, Databasen innehåller information om vapenexporternas värde, destination och typ och den faktiska exporten från medlemsstaterna, och kommer att uppdateras varje år. Arbetsgruppen behandlade också rådets beslut om slutanvändarintyg i samband med export av handeldvapen och lätta vapen samt deras ammunition. Detta beslut antogs i januari 2021 och bidrar till ytterligare konvergens i medlemsstaternas vapenexportpolitik. Arbetsgruppen fortsatte sin utåtriktade verksamhet och regelbundna dialog med en rad aktörer, inbegripet civilsamhällesorganisationer, Internationella rödakorskommittén och företrädare för den europeiska försvarsindustrin. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | EU fortsatte även sin utåtriktade verksamhet till stöd för tredjeländer genom att inrätta system för kontroll av vapenexport och främja universaliseringen av vapenhandelsfördraget. Det tyska förbundskontoret för ekonomi och exportkontroll (Bafa) genomförde ett antal workshoppar och enskilda biståndsevenemang, på grund av pandemin oftast i virtuellt format, inom ramen för rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/101 (28) av den 22 januari 2018 och efterföljaren till detta, rådets beslut (Gusp) 2020/1464 av den 12 oktober 2020 om främjande av effektiv vapenexportkontroll (29). Dessutom genomförde Bafa och Expertise France regional utåtriktad verksamhet, anpassade nationella biståndsprogram och enskilda ad-hoc-workshoppar om bistånd inom ramen för rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/915 (30), till stöd för vapenhandelsfördragets effektiva genomförande och universella tillämpning. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Under 2020 hölls politiska dialogmöten om frågor rörande vapenexportkontroll med Norge och USA. Dessa politiska dialoger utgjorde ett forum för givande diskussioner i frågor av ömsesidigt intresse, som exportpolicy gentemot vissa mottagarländer, frågor som rör efterlevnad och kontroll samt arbetet med vapenhandelsfördraget. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | Under 2020 fortsatte EU att regelbundet uppdatera sina förordningar för att avspegla utvecklingen inom multilaterala exportkontrollsystem. Europeiska kommissionen antog därför delegerad förordning (EU) 2020/1749 (31) av den 7 oktober 2020 genom vilken EU:s kontrollförteckning över varor med dubbla användningsområden uppdaterades i enlighet med de beslut som fattats inom multilaterala exportkontrollsystem under 2019, och införde nya kontroller av bland annat mjukvara för övervakning av brottsbekämpning och digitala kriminaltekniska verktyg. Vid uppdateringen av EU:s kontrollförteckning 2020 infördes kontroller av ytterligare 24 kemikalier, inklusive prekursorer för nervgiftet novitjok, i enlighet med den överenskommelse som nåddes vid Australiengruppens extra möte i februari 2020, och i syfte att förhindra handel med prekursorer för kemiska vapen. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | Samordningsgruppen för gemenskapsordningen för kontroll av export av produkter och teknik med dubbla användningsområden fortsatte att stödja ett effektivt och konsekvent genomförande av exportkontroller i EU. Nya funktioner i det ”elektroniska systemet för dubbla användningsområden” togs i bruk under 2020 för att anpassa systemet till lagstiftningsändringar, t.ex. 2019 års uppdaterade kontrollförteckning och säkrade digitala samråd mellan behöriga myndigheter. Med tanke på brexit infördes en ny funktion för att stödja informationsutbyte med Storbritanniens behöriga myndighet enligt protokollet om Nordirland. EU gick också vidare i arbetet med att utveckla en ”plattform för elektronisk tillståndsgivning” som ska användas av medlemsstaterna på frivillig grund, och inledde arbetet med att integrera elektroniska licenssystem för varor med dubbla användningsområden med tullens elektroniska system inom ramen för initiativet med en enda kontaktpunkt. Årsrapporten om exportkontroll (32) offentliggjordes för att säkerställa insyn i fråga om exportkontroll och tillståndsverksamhet, och ett forum för exportkontroll anordnades den 11 december 2020 för berörda aktörer från medlemsstaterna, industrin och civilsamhället (33). |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | Betydande framsteg gjordes med översynen av EU:s politik för exportkontroll. Rådet och Europaparlamentet enades om en modernisering av EU:s exportkontroller. De omfattande ändringar som gjordes för att öka kontrollernas effektivitet och ändamålsenlighet inbegriper uppdaterade definitioner och kontrollparametrar, harmonisering, förenkling och digitalisering av licenser, ökat informationsutbyte och samarbete med tredjeländer. Den nya förordningen kommer att göra EU:s befintliga exportkontrollsystem mer effektivt genom att införa en ny dimension för ”mänsklig säkerhet” så att EU kan möta de utmaningar som ny teknik med dubbla användningsområden – särskilt it-övervakningsteknik – medför och som innebär en risk för nationell och internationell säkerhet, inbegripet skyddet av mänskliga rättigheter. Den nya förordningen kommer att antas formellt och träda i kraft under 2021. Verksamheten inom de multilaterala exportkontrollsystemen påverkades i hög grad av pandemin. Plenarsammanträden måste ställas in, medan arbetsgrupper kunder fortsätta att arbeta genom att hålla virtuella möten. Oavsett detta deltog EU i Australiengruppens extra möte i Bratislava (5–7 februari 2020). |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Genomförandet av EU:s program för exportkontroll (EU P2P-programmet) för att förbättra effektiviteten i systemen för kontroll av export av varor med dubbla användningsområden och därtill hörande material, utrustning och teknik fortsatte i sex regioner. Under 2020 omfattade EU P2P-programmet 41 länder, däribland de länder som ingår i de riktade initiativen för exportkontroll med det vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Ukraina och det internationella vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Kazakstan, vilka omfattar 14 länder. Ett antal regionala workshoppar, nationella stödevenemang och ad hoc-stödseminarier ägde rum, främst i virtuellt format med anledning av pandemin. |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | Den intensiva samordningen av EU P2P-programmet med det amerikanska utrikesministeriets program för exportkontroll och gränssäkerhet fortsatte. Gemensamma seminarier för EU och USA anordnades för att utbyta information om metoder för hotbedömning, fastställa gemensamma effektindikatorer och samordna assistans på plats. Det sjätte EU P2P-sommaruniversitetet om strategisk handelskontroll, som EU anordnar varje år för partnerländerna i EU P2P-programmet anordnades i virtuellt format av tjänsten för utrikespolitiska instrument och det gemensamma forskningscentrumet den 17-21 augusti 2020. Webbportalen för EU P2P-programmet som flyttats till Europeiska unionens officiella webbmiljö (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en) förbättrades ytterligare under 2020. Webbportalen kommer att fortsätta att fungera som en plattform för alla EU:s uppsökande program för kontroll av export av varor med militär användning och dubbla användningsområden, med syftet att behovsanpassa informationsutbytet med EU:s partnerländer. Programmet finansieras genom instrumentet som bidrar till stabilitet och fred. |

79.

| 80. | I januari 2021 offentliggjorde kommissionens gemensamma forskningscentrum den nya onlineplattformen för varor med dubbla användningsområden, TIM Dual-use, som gör det möjligt att kartlägga över 70 miljoner forskningssammanfattningar (Scopus), patent (Patstat) och EU-finansierade projekt (Cordis-databasen) som är relevanta för varor med dubbla användningsområden.

80.

| 81. | Kontrollsystemet för missilteknik (MTCR) är en informell, frivillig sammanslutning av länder med ett gemensamt mål: icke-spridning av obemannade system som kan bära massförstörelsevapen. De strävar efter att samordna sina nationella åtgärder avseende exporttillstånd som syftar till att förhindra sådan spridning. De regeringar som deltar i MTCR har åtagit sig att följa de gemensamma exportpolitiska riktlinjerna (MTCR-riktlinjerna) som tillämpas på en heltäckande gemensam förteckning över kontrollerade produkter (MTCR-bilagan om utrustning, programvara och teknik). Partnerna i MTCR utbyter regelbundet information om relevanta nationella frågor med koppling till exporttillstånd. MTCR-riktlinjerna och MTCR-checklistorna utgör internationell bästa praxis för kontroll av export av missilrelaterade produkter och missilteknik. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | En fråga av grundläggande betydelse för EU i samband med MTCR är fortfarande blockeringen av nio EU-medlemsstaters anslutning till systemet, nämligen Cypern, Estland, Lettland, Litauen, Kroatien, Malta, Rumänien, Slovakien och Slovenien. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | För att exportkontrollsystem som MTCR ska fungera och vara trovärdiga är ett kontinuerligt och förutsägbart ordförandeskap av avgörande vikt. De EU-medlemsstater som är medlemmar i MTCR lade fram ett informellt dokument om problemen med ordförandeskapet, för beaktande vid plenarmötet, där olika möjligheter till stöd för ett hållbart ordförandeskap för systemet utforskades. EU kommer att fortsätta sina diskussioner med medlemmarna om de olika alternativen. I samband med systemet har EU alltid varit för antagandet av kraftfulla offentliga uttalanden från MTCR som återspeglar internationella farhågor kring Irans och Nordkoreas uppskjutningar av ballistiska robotar och betydande utveckling av missilteknik. |

83.

RYMDEN

| 84. | EU och dess medlemsstater fortsatte att främja bevarandet av en säker och hållbar rymdmiljö och en fredlig användning av yttre rymden på lika och ömsesidigt godtagbara grunder. Vi fortsatte att framhålla vikten av åtgärder för att skapa öppenhet och förtroende och behovet av att arbeta för ett ansvarsfullt beteende i yttre rymden inom ramen för Förenta nationerna. I detta avseende gjorde EU uttalanden med koppling till rymden i FN:s generalförsamling. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | EU och dess medlemsstater stod fast vid sitt åtagande om att förebygga en kapprustning i yttre rymden, vilket är av avgörande vikt för att kunna stärka den internationella säkerheten och stabiliteten och säkra en långsiktig användning av rymdmiljön för fredliga ändamål. Vi fortsatte att uttrycka vår oro över all utveckling av antisatellitvapen och antisatellitförmågor, även markbaserade, och framhåller vikten av att ta itu med sådan utveckling snarast, inom ramen för de internationella insatserna för att förebygga en kapprustning i yttre rymden. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | EU och dess medlemsstater bekräftade sitt stöd för antagandet av ingressen och de 21riktlinjerna för långsiktig hållbarhet för verksamhet i yttre rymden, som antogs av Copuos och som godkändes genom en resolution från FN:s generalförsamling 2019 (34). Riktlinjerna utgör ett viktigt komplement till åtgärderna för att skapa öppenhet och förtroende i fråga om yttre rymden (35). |
| --- | --- |

86.

| 87. | EU och dess medlemsstater välkomnade antagandet av en ny resolution om att minska hoten genom ansvarsfullt beteende (36), som utgör ett lämpligt steg för att minska hot och risker i yttre rymden och främja ansvarsfullt beteende i yttre rymden, särskilt inom ramen för Förenta nationerna. De uppmanade alla länder att samarbeta konstruktivt för att skapa en gemensam förståelse för ansvarsfullt beteende i yttre rymden, vilket även EU kommer att medverka till. |
| --- | --- |

87.

KLAUSULER OM ICKE-SPRIDNING AV MASSFÖRSTÖRELSEVAPEN

| 88. | EU fortsatte i enlighet med sin politik för icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och i enlighet med rådets slutsatser från 2003 sitt arbete med integrering av åtaganden gällande icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen i avtal med partnerländer. Under 2020 hölls även förhandlingar med Storbritannien i detta syfte, som förberedelse inför brexit och de framtida förbindelserna mellan EU och Storbritannien. I linje med EU:s och Kubas gemensamma beslut om preliminär tillämpning av vissa delar av det nya avtalet mellan EU och Kuba fördes i mars 2019 för första gången någonsin en dialog mellan EU och Kuba om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen. Dialogen, som ägde rum i Bryssel, grundades på det nya avtalets klausul om massförstörelsevapen, och en andra dialog hölls online i september 2020. |

88.

ANDRA MULTILATERALA FORUM

G7

| 89. | EU fortsatte att aktivt delta vid möten i gruppen med G7-direktörer för icke-spridning. Under 2020 deltog EU i de möten som hölls under USA:s ordförandeskap med inriktning på aktuella frågor som rör icke-spridning och nedrustning samt på ytterligare framsteg i arbetet med samordning av direktörsgruppens arbete och G7-gruppens globala partnerskap mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen och material för massförstörelse, i synnerhet genom skapande av en närmare koppling mellan politiska prioriteringar och verksamheten i projekt. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | EU är fortsatt engagerat i det globala partnerskapet mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen och material för massförstörelse, i synnerhet genom det tekniska bistånd (hotbedömning, nationella handlingsplaner) som tillhandahålls världen över genom initiativet med EU:s kompetenscentrum för motverkande av CBRN-risker. Initiativet kommer också att bidra till genomförandet av det pilotprojekt som leds av det globala partnerskapet, ett flaggskeppsinitiativ för att minska det biologiska hotet i Afrika, med det nya projektet Labplus Africa. |
