Godišnje izvješće o napretku u provedbi Strategije Europske unije protiv širenja oružja za masovno uništenje (2020.)

(2021/C 298/01)

UVOD

| 1. | Ovim Izvješćem o napretku u provedbi Strategije Europske unije protiv širenja oružja za masovno uništenje (OMU), koju je Europsko vijeće usvojilo u prosincu 2003. (dok. 15708/03), obuhvaćene su aktivnosti provedene u 2020. Izvješće nije iscrpno, a naglasak je na najvažnijim događajima. Sve aktivnosti poduzete su unutar šireg konteksta EU-ove sigurnosne politike i strategije EU-a za sigurnosnu uniju za razdoblje 2020.–2025. |

| 2. | S obzirom na znatan utjecaj pandemije bolesti COVID-19 na rad na multilateralnoj razini, pojaviše zbog ograničenja putovanja, 2020. bila je godina bez presedana. Iako je odgođen niz multilateralnih sastanaka, ponajprije 10. Revizijska konferencija Ugovora o neširenju oružja, mnoge druge sastanke bilo je moguće organizirati putem interneta. Na taj su se način mogle nastaviti multilateralne rasprave, uvažavajući pritom ograničenost interakcije putem videokonferencije. To je dovelo do novih izazova jer se većina EU-ova rada u vezi s oružjem za masovno uništenje (OMU) odvija na multilateralnim forumima. |

NUKLEARNA PITANJA

| 6. | EU je i dalje u potpunosti predan promicanju univerzalizacije i potpune, cjelovite i učinkovite provedbe Ugovora o neširenju nuklearnog oružja (NPT), stupanja na snagu i univerzalizacije Ugovora o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT) te započinjanja i brzog zaključivanja pregovora o ugovoru o zabrani proizvodnje fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave (FMCT) na Konferenciji o razoružanju. Uspostava područja bez oružja za masovno uništenje i sustavâ za njegovu isporuku na Bliskom istoku i dalje je prioritet EU-a. EU je 2020. nastavio doprinositi Institutu Ujedinjenih naroda za istraživanje razoružanja (UNIDIR) na temelju Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2019/938 (1) za potporu mjerama za izgradnju povjerenja koje vode uspostavi takvog područja. |

Ugovor o neširenju nuklearnog oružja i Međunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju

| 7. | Ciklus preispitivanja NPT-a trebao je biti dovršen u travnju ili svibnju 2020. na desetoj Revizijskoj konferenciji NPT-a. Zbog globalnih zdravstvenih okolnosti i ograničenja putovanja koja su uslijedila u vezi s time države stranke dogovorile su se u ožujku 2020. o odgodi Revizijske konferencije za siječanj 2021. Revizijska konferencija kasnije je ponovno odgođena, preliminarno za kolovoz 2021. EU je doprinio svim relevantnim raspravama organiziranima kako u virtualnom formatu tako i uživo, među ostalim općoj raspravi na 75. sjednici prvog odbora za razoružanje i međunarodnu sigurnost Opće skupštine UN-a. |

7.

| 8. | Provedba Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2019/615 (2) nastavila se u 2020. tako što je Ured UN-a za poslove razoružanja (UNODA) ostvario dvije aktivnosti: tematski seminar o prvom stupu (nuklearno razoružanje) održan u Ženevi (29. i 30. siječnja) i tematski seminar o drugom stupu (neširenje nuklearnog oružja) održan u New Yorku (2. i 3. ožujka). Glavni je cilj Odluke Vijeća pomoći omogućiti uspješan ishod Revizijske konferencije NPT-a i razvoj realističnog i izvedivog niza mjera i preporuka o kojima se može postići konsenzus. Nije bilo moguće organizirati dva preostala regionalna sastanka čiji je cilj obuhvatiti sva tri stupa NPT-a sa stajališta regionalnih prioriteta i bojazni. U lipnju 2020. Odlukom Vijeća (ZVSP) 2020/906 (3) produljena je do 16. travnja 2021. Odluka Vijeća (ZVSP) 2019/615 o potpori Unije aktivnostima koje prethode Revizijskoj konferenciji, i to bez dodatnih troškova. |

| 9. | EU je nastavio podupirati ključne odgovornosti Međunarodne agencije za atomsku energiju (IAEA) u pogledu neširenja, nuklearne sigurnosti, nuklearne zaštite, primjena nuklearne energije i tehničke suradnje, među ostalim odgovarajućom financijskom potporom. EU i Euratom aktivno su sudjelovali na svim sastancima upravljačkih tijela IAEA-e, a pritom se koordinacija EU-a provodila u Beču. Na 64. općoj skupštini IAEA-e u rujnu 2020. konsenzusom su usvojene dvije rezolucije o nuklearnim zaštitnim mjerama i nuklearnoj sigurnosti koje je zagovarao EU. |

11.

| 12. | Zajednički istraživački centar (JRC) i IAEA nastavili su s provedbom „Praktičnih aranžmana suradnje o primjeni nuklearne znanosti”, potpisanih na marginama 5. sastanka visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e (15. veljače 2017.), a njihov je cilj razvijanje zajedničkih aktivnosti i izbjegavanje udvostručivanja napora. Jedna od aktivnosti obuhvaćena tim praktičnim aranžmanima jest praćenje stanja okoliša u pogledu radioaktivnosti koja se mjeri diljem Europe i na nizu drugih lokacija na svijetu u obliku prosječnih i najviših zabilježenih vrijednosti stope doze gama-zračenja u posljednja 24 sata. Ta mjerenja potječu iz približno 5 500 mjesta za praćenje kojima upravljaju nadležna nacionalna tijela u 39 zemalja, koja Europskoj platformi za razmjenu radioloških podataka (EURDEP) dostavljaju najnovije radiološke vrijednosti. Obavješćivanje o radiološkoj nesreći ili hitnoj situaciji obavlja se putem mreža za rano obavješćivanje kao što su ECURIE, kojim upravlja Europska komisija, ili EMERCON, kojim upravlja IAEA, nakon savjetovanja s nadležnim nacionalnim tijelima. |

12.

| 13. | Zajednički sveobuhvatni akcijski plan (ZSAP) ključni je element globalne arhitekture za neširenje nuklearnog oružja i postignuće multilateralne diplomacije. Potpuna provedba tog sporazuma od suštinske je važnosti za europsku sigurnost. EU je u više navrata izrazio žaljenje zbog toga što Iran smanjuje svoje nuklearne obveze u okviru ZSAP-a, što je započelo u srpnju 2019. i nastavilo se tijekom 2020. Visoki predstavnik EU-a, kao koordinator Zajedničke komisije ZSAP-a, i dalje je u potpunosti predan suradnji s međunarodnom zajednicom u cilju očuvanja i osiguravanja potpune provedbe ZSAP-a. Pozdravili smo mogućnost povratka SAD-a ZSAP-u i povratak Irana potpunoj provedbi ZSAP-a te podupiremo aktualne intenzivne diplomatske napore i kontakte visokog predstavnika EU-a sa svim relevantnim partnerima. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Istodobno, EU ujedno nastavlja doprinositi provedbi ZSAP-a koordiniranjem Zajedničke komisije i radnih skupina na stručnoj razini osnovanih u okviru ZSAP-a. Isto tako, EU i dalje podupire dugoročnu misiju IAEA-e da provjerava i prati obveze Irana u vezi s nuklearnim pitanjem. Unatoč ograničenjima povezanima s bolešću COVID-19 EU nastavlja civilnu nuklearnu suradnju s Iranom na temelju Priloga III. ZSAP-u u području nuklearne sigurnosti. I dalje je potpuno operativan kanal nabave ZSAP-a, u okviru kojeg se preispituje prijenos nuklearne robe ili robe s dvojnom namjenom u Iran. U 2020. Radna skupina za nabavu sastala se sedam puta te je prekinut negativan trend prijedloga iz 2019. Iran je i dalje najveći korisnik potpore EU-a u području nuklearne sigurnosti. Civilna nuklearna suradnja EU-a i Irana uključuje potporu modernizaciji reaktora za istraživanje u Araku (Khondab), iranski regulator za nuklearnu sigurnost (INRA), provjere i praćenje koje IAEA provodi u Iranu, stres testove za nuklearnu elektranu u Bushehru i opskrbu opremom za centar za nuklearnu sigurnost INRA-e u Iranu. |

14.

| 15. | Sveobuhvatni sporazumi o zaštitnim mjerama s dodatnim protokolima čine aktualni standard provjere te EU nastavlja pozivati na njihovo univerzalno poštovanje. Bliska suradnja EURATOM-a i IAEA-e omogućuje učinkovite i djelotvorne zaštitne mjere. EU aktivno podržava sustav zaštitnih mjera IAEA-e s pomoću Programa potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije, Instrumenta za suradnju u području nuklearne sigurnosti i programâ potpore država članica. Programom potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije prethodno su se jačale IAEA-ine sposobnosti nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera, uključujući sposobnosti za provjeru provedbe ZSAP-a, omogućivanjem osposobljavanja inspektorima za zaštitne mjere IAEA-e u području dodatnog pristupa i rada COMPUCEA-e (kombinirani postupak za analizu koncentracije i obogaćivanja urana) za provjeru obogaćivanja tvari UF6, što uključuje relevantne referentne materijale. Programom potpore zaštitnim mjerama Europske komisije pruža se potpora mreži analitičkih laboratorija IAEA-e u njihovim ovlastima za provjeru ZSAP-a s pomoću analitičkih usluga, standardiziranih metoda i alata za kontrolu kvalitete. Posebice se analizom čestica te proizvodnjom i certificiranjem referentnih čestica pruža potpora mreži analitičkih laboratorija IAEA-e u razvoju novih metoda i protokola mjerenja za analizu uzoraka iz okoline uzetih brisom u skladu s dodatnim protokolom. |

15.

| 16. | Europska komisija i dalje djeluje i aktivno podupire Europsko udruženje za istraživanje i razvoj zaštitnih mjera (ESARDA), koje nastavlja i svoje međunarodno djelovanje memorandumima o razumijevanju s afričkom komisijom za nuklearnu energiju i azijskom pacifičkom sigurnosnom mrežom u bliskoj suradnji s Institutom za upravljanje nuklearnim materijalima. Radne skupine ESARDA-e razvijaju, ispituju i vrednuju inovativne zaštitne mjere i pristupe neširenju oružja koji su od izravne koristi Upravi za nuklearne zaštitne mjere GU-a ENER i Odjelu za zaštitne mjere Međunarodne agencije za atomsku energiju. Unatoč ograničenjima povezanima s bolešću COVID-19 provedena su tehnička osposobljavanja na daljinu u području obogaćivanja uranija, provjera izotopskog sastava plutonija i laserskog mapiranja za provjeru zadržavanja namijenjena inspektorima EURATOM-a. Prije pandemije održano je i osposobljavanje u području brojanja neutrona. Međutim, 2020. otkazan je renomirani tečaj ESARDA-e o nuklearnim zaštitnim mjerama i neširenju nuklearnog oružja te su pripremljeni detaljni scenariji za održavanje tog tečaja 2021. (12.–16. travnja 2021.). Rezultatima istraživanja i razvoja te inicijativama za obrazovanje i osposobljavanje jačaju se europske i međunarodne sposobnosti u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera te strateška kontrola trgovine. Plodovi tog rada upotrijebljeni su kako bi se doprinijelo inicijativama u području nuklearne sigurnosti i nuklearnog razoružanja. JRC Europske komisije stekao je iskustvo u tehničkom osposobljavanju na daljinu za inspektore za zaštitne mjere koje je podijelio s IAEA-om u okviru trilateralnih sastanaka (IAEA, EURATOM i JRC). Tradicionalni sastanak ESARDA-e u svibnju u Luxembourgu bio je odgođen za studeni 2020. te zajednički organiziran s francuskim Institutom za zaštitu od zračenja i nuklearnu sigurnost (IRSN), i to u virtualnom formatu s 270 sudionika. ESARDA trenutačno priprema prvi zajednički godišnji sastanak s Institutom za upravljanje nuklearnim materijalima, koji bi se trebao održati u virtualnom formatu krajem kolovoza 2021. |

16.

| 17. | Europska komisija financira veliki projekt osposobljavanja i obrazovanja u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera s Europskom mrežom za obrazovanje u području nuklearne energije (ENEN). U okviru tog ugovora ENEN surađuje sa sveučilištem „Politecnico di Milano” (POLIMI), JRC-om, ESARDA-om i IAEA-om na uspostavi prvog akademskog poslijediplomskog programa u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera za akademsku godinu 2021./2022. U tijeku je posebna kampanja za upis studenata izvan Europe i odabrano je do 35 stručnih predavača za podučavanje tog programa. |

17.

| 18. | Vijeće je 2020. na prijedlog Europske službe za vanjsko djelovanje (ESVD) odlučilo doprinijeti univerzalizaciji elemenata sustava zaštitnih mjera IAEA-e, s posebnim naglaskom na izmijenjenom protokolu o malim količinama (SQP) i dodatnom protokolu (AP), putem niza demarševa koji se trebaju uputiti trećim zemljama (6). Izdavanje tih demarševa započelo je u prosincu 2020. |

18.

| 19. | EU i njegove države članice pridaju iznimnu važnost provedbi i kontinuiranom poboljšanju nuklearne sigurnosti diljem svijeta. EU je izmijenjenom Direktivom o nuklearnoj sigurnosti koja je stupila na snagu 2017. dao pravnu snagu ciljevima iz Bečke deklaracije o nuklearnoj sigurnosti. Ključni je element te izmijenjene direktive uvođenje sigurnosnog cilja za sve operatere kako bi se spriječile nesreće i izbjegla znatna radioaktivna ispuštanja. Izmjenom direktive ujedno su se u pravo EURATOM-a unijeli tematski stručni pregledi. Prvi europski tematski stručni pregled uspješno je proveden. Sve države članice EU-a prenijele su nove zahtjeve u svoja nacionalna prava. |

Ugovor o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa

| 23. | Stupanje na snagu i univerzalizacija Ugovora o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT) važni su ciljevi Strategije EU-a protiv širenja oružja za masovno uništenje. Sve države članice EU-a pokazale su predanost Ugovoru tako što su ga ratificirale i primijenile njegove temeljne obveze. CTBT je snažna mjera za izgradnju povjerenja i sigurnosti. EU je 2020. sudjelovao u diplomatskim aktivnostima za potporu CTBT-u, koje su zbog pandemije bile prilagođene ograničenim prilikama. Promicanje stupanja na snagu CTBT-a bila je jedna od mjera programa glavnog tajnika UN-a naslovljenog „Osiguravanje naše zajedničke budućnosti: program za razoružanje”, koji je EU odlučio podržati. EU je opetovano pozivao na ratifikaciju Ugovora, i to u svojim izjavama na povezanim forumima te u bilateralnim kontaktima s relevantnim zemljama iz Priloga II. i zemljama koje nisu obuhvaćene Prilogom II. Osim toga, posebna izaslanica za neširenje oružja i razoružanje 6. listopada 2020. sudjelovala je u raspravi na internetskom seminaru naslovljenom „CTBT i 10. Revizijska konferencija NPT-a”, koji je organizirala Organizacija Ugovora o sveobuhvatnoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBTO). |

| 29. | Centar EU-a za osposobljavanje u području nuklearne sigurnosti za otkrivanje nezakonitih djela koja uključuju nuklearne i druge radioaktivne materijale i odgovor na njih (EUSECTRA) u potpunosti je operativan od 2013. u korist država članica Europske unije i partnerskih zemalja, među kojima je nekoliko članica GICNT-a. Centrom upravlja JRC Europske komisije na lokacijama u Karlsruheu (Njemačka) i Ispri (Italija) u bliskoj suradnji s drugim međunarodnim inicijativama koje promiče IAEA i nekoliko partnerskih zemalja GICNT-a. Centar se također upotrebljava za praktične vježbe koje se uglavnom odnose na borbu protiv krijumčarenja nuklearnih materijala. EUSECTRA je aktivna u rješavanju potreba u pogledu osposobljavanja država članica i partnera EU-a, među ostalim koordiniranim osposobljavanjima delegata država članica u području carine i kaznenog progona koja su već provedena i koja su planirana za razdoblje 2019.–2021. (u izravnoj suradnji s GU-om HOME i GU-om TAXUD Europske komisije). Zahvaljujući EUSECTRA-i jača se infrastruktura koja se upotrebljava za provođenje osposobljavanja, razvijaju se virtualni alati za učenje i osigurava se procjena učinkovitosti opreme na zahtjev država članica EU-a. Pandemija je ograničila osposobljavanje uživo. S pomoću modernih sredstava razvijen je hibridni pristup usmjeren na terenske vježbe koje uključuju upotrebu instrumenata na daljinu i stvarnu upotrebu nuklearnih i radioaktivnih materijala kako bi se nastavili napori u borbi protiv kemijskih, bioloških, radioloških i nuklearnih prijetnji te nuklearnog terorizma. |

| 35. | GU TAXUD, uz potporu JRC-a i EUSECTRA-e, 2020. pokrenuo je interaktivni program e-učenja za potporu carinskim službenicima u stjecanju znanja o nadzoru državne granice usmjerenom na otkrivanje radioaktivnih i nuklearnih materijala. U osnovnom modulu prikazuje se važnost uloge carinskih službenika u otkrivanju nuklearnih i radioaktivnih materijala te im se pružaju informacije o rizicima i prijetnjama, kao i osnovni uvod u relevantne materijale, opremu i procese. Te se teme podrobnije obrađuju u naprednom modulu. Oba tečaja obuhvaćaju realistične scenarije, uključujući morske luke, zračne luke, željeznice i kopnene granice, u kojima sudionici mogu testirati svoj način donošenja odluka. Zahvaljujući suradnji između GU TAXUD-a i JRC-a izgrađene su veće sinergije među carinskim upravama država članica. Osposobljavanje koje se pruža u okviru EUSECTRA-e poslužit će kao platforma za razmjenu najboljih praksi među nacionalnim stručnjacima u području nuklearne sigurnosti koje se odnose na zaštitu granica i na taj će se način doprinijeti razvoju usklađenih postupaka. Navedeno je dio nastojanja za provođenje zajedničke borbe protiv nezakonite trgovine nuklearnim materijalima i olakšavanja trgovine s pomoću carinskih kontrolnih točaka. Naposljetku, cilj je promicanjem zajedničke kulture nuklearne sigurnosti spriječiti da pojedinci steknu pristup štetnim materijalima. |

Regionalna pitanja

| 37. | EU i njegove države članice nastavili su poticati Demokratsku Narodnu Republiku Koreju (DNRK) da poduzme konkretne korake prema potpunom, provjerljivom i nepovratnom napuštanju svojih programa oružja za masovno uništenje i balističkih projektila. To se navodi u svim relevantnim izjavama EU-a. EU smatra da lansiranje balističkih projektila koje je u ožujku i travnju 2020. proveo DNRK čini kršenje više rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a koje predstavlja ozbiljnu prijetnju regionalnom i međunarodnom miru i sigurnosti te kojim se podrivaju međunarodna nastojanja usmjerena na izgradnju trajnog mira i sigurnost na Korejskom poluotoku. Pokazivanjem naizgled novih projektila u listopadu i tvrdnjama DNRK-a da se više ne smatra obveznim zadržavati na snazi moratorij na testiranje nuklearnog oružja i međukontinentalnih balističkih projektila dodatno su ugrožene okolnosti za nastavak dijaloga. EU je pozvao DNRK da odmah zaustavi sva svoja lansiranja, uključi se u smislene pregovore, poduzme konkretne i vjerodostojne korake prema izgradnji povjerenja i da na potpun, provjerljiv i nepovratan način napusti sve svoje programe nuklearnog oružja i balističkih projektila. EU je nastavio poticati DNRK da u potpunosti poštuje sve relevantne rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a te svoje druge međunarodne obveze i odgovornosti, da bez odlaganja potpiše i ratificira CTBT te da se ponovno počne pridržavati svojih obveza u pogledu zaštitnih mjera u okviru NPT-a. EU je brzo prenio sve rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti u zakonodavstvo EU-a te je donio i stroge autonomne sankcije kojima se dopunjuju i jačaju sankcije koje je donio UN. EU je nastavio ulagati napore za poticanje drugih zemalja da u potpunosti provedu sankcije protiv DNRK-a. U izjavi glasnogovornika ESVD-a od 16. lipnja izražava se žaljenje zbog djelovanja DNRK-a kojima su povećane napetosti te poziva na ponovno pokretanje trajnog diplomatskog procesa u cilju izgradnje povjerenja i uspostave trajnog mira i sigurnosti na Korejskom poluotoku bez nuklearnog oružja u najkraćem mogućem roku. |

EU podupire početak takvih pregovora u skladu s dokumentom CD/1299 i mandatom koji je u njemu sadržan. EU poziva sve članove Konferencije o razoružanju da bez odgode započnu pregovore u vezi s FMCT-om i krenu s radom na drugim pitanjima na dnevnom redu. Na temelju Odluke Vijeća (EU) 2017/2284 od 11. prosinca 2017. (9) EU je pružio financijsku potporu Uredu UN-a za poslove razoružanja (UNODA) kako bi se olakšalo sudjelovanje afričkih, azijskih, latinoameričkih i karipskih zemalja u savjetovanjima i drugim aktivnostima povezanima s FMCT-om. EU također potiče sve zemlje koje posjeduju nuklearno oružje da proglase i poštuju hitni moratorij na proizvodnju fisilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave ako to već nisu učinile.

BALISTIČKI PROJEKTILI

Haški pravilnik postupanja

| 53. | Haški pravilnik postupanja protiv širenja balističkih projektila (HCoC) rezultat je napora međunarodne zajednice da uredi područje balističkih projektila kojima se mogu prenositi oružja za masovno uništenje. HCoC je jedini multilateralni instrument za transparentnost i izgradnju povjerenja u vezi sa širenjem balističkih projektila. Potpisivanjem HCoC-a članice se na dobrovoljnoj osnovi obvezuju da će najavljivati lansiranje i probne letove balističkih projektila i vozila za lansiranje svemirskih letjelica. Zemlje potpisnice također se obvezuju podnositi godišnju izjavu o svojim politikama u području balističkih projektila i vozila za lansiranje svemirskih letjelica. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | EU snažno podupire Pravilnik od njegova začetka. Potpisale su ga sve države članice EU-a. Od potpisivanja i stupanja na snagu politički obvezujućeg HCoC-a u studenome 2002. u Haagu, u Nizozemskoj, broj potpisnica povećao se sa 93 na 143. Razlog tomu je i diplomatsko djelovanje EU-a usmjereno na niz država koje nisu potpisnice Pravilnika radi potpore njegovoj univerzalizaciji. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | EU dosljedno promiče univerzalnost, potpunu provedbu i poboljšano funkcioniranje Pravilnika. Tijekom prethodnog desetljeća Vijeće EU-a donijelo je u okviru ZVSP-a niz odluka / zajedničkih akcija kojima podupire Haški pravilnik postupanja i općenito neširenje projektila. EU tim odlukama Vijeća financira aktivnosti informiranja, uključujući popratna događanja, istraživačke radove, sastanke stručnjaka i regionalne seminare za podizanje razine svijesti u vezi s HCoC-om. Te aktivnosti provodi zaklada Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique sa sjedištem u Parizu, obično uz sudjelovanje rotirajućeg predsjednika HCoC-a. |

55.

| 56. | Odlukom Vijeća (ZVSP) 2017/2370 (19) od 18. prosinca 2017. EU nastavlja: promicati potpisivanje Pravilnika i u konačnici njegovu univerzalnost, podupirati potpunu provedbu Pravilnika, promicati dijalog među državama potpisnicama i državama koje nisu potpisnice kako bi se izgradilo povjerenje i transparentnost, poticati suzdržanost i stvarati veću stabilnost i sigurnost za sve, jačati vidljivost Pravilnika i podizati javnu svijest o rizicima i prijetnjama koje predstavlja širenje balističkih projektila te istraživati, osobito putem akademskih studija, mogućnosti poboljšanja Pravilnika i promicanja suradnje između Pravilnika i drugih relevantnih multilateralnih instrumenata. |

REZOLUCIJA VIJEĆA SIGURNOSTI UJEDINJENIH NARODA 1540 I UBLAŽAVANJE RIZIKA U PODRUČJU KBRN-a

| 58. | Rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a 1540 (2004) ostaje središnji stup u međunarodnoj arhitekturi za neširenje oružja. Prvi je to međunarodni instrument koji se na cjelovit i sveobuhvatan način bavi oružjem za masovno uništenje, sredstvima njegove isporuke i povezanim materijalima. RVSUN-om 1540 (2004) utvrđuju se obvezujuće obveze za sve zemlje. Njima se nastoji spriječiti i odvratiti nedržavne aktere od dobivanja pristupa takvom oružju, sredstvima njegove isporuke i materijalima povezanima s oružjem i tim sredstvima. Rezolucijom, donesenom u skladu s poglavljem VII. Povelje Ujedinjenih naroda, od svih se zemalja traži da donesu nužno zakonodavstvo kojim se nedržavnim akterima zabranjuje nabava nuklearnog, kemijskog ili biološkog oružja i da uspostave prikladne nacionalne kontrole za povezane materijale kako bi se spriječila nezakonita trgovina njima. Središnja uloga, važnost i autoritet RVSUN-a 1540 ponovno su potvrđeni sveobuhvatnim postupkom preispitivanja iz 2016. kako je navedeno u RVSUN-u 2325. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | Kako bi se doprinijelo provedbi ishoda sveobuhvatnog preispitivanja iz 2016. te podržala potpuna provedba RVSUN-a 1540, Vijeće je 11. svibnja 2017. donijelo Odluku Vijeća (ZVSP) 2017/809 (20) o potpori provedbi Rezolucije Vijeća sigurnosti Ujedinjenih naroda 1540 (2004) o suzbijanju širenja oružja za masovno uništenje i načinima njegove isporuke. Odlukom Vijeća obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 48 mjeseci, a provedbu izvršava Ured UN-a za poslove razoružanja (UNODA) u New Yorku, koji je dio provedbe podugovorom prenio na OESS u Beču. Financiranjem sredstvima EU-a podupire se pomaganje zemljama u utvrđivanju posebne tehničke pomoći koja im je potrebna, podizanju svijesti o relevantnim programima tehničke pomoći i poboljšanju suradnje s međunarodnim i regionalnim organizacijama radi podržavanja napora za izgradnju nacionalnih kapaciteta. |

| 60. | Zajednički istraživački centar Europske komisije (JRC) predsjedniku Odbora 1540 službeno je proslijedio primjerak Atlasa strateške trgovine koji su zajednički pripremili JRC i Nacionalni laboratorij Argonne Ministarstva energetike SAD-a. Atlas strateške trgovine izrađen je kako bi se promicalo razumijevanje globalnih trgovinskih tokova strateške robe, tj. robe vojne strateške vrijednosti, uključujući robu s dvojnom namjenom. Atlas se objavljuje u dva sveska u kojima se pruža pregled strateške trgovine prema zemlji (21) i robi (22). Među ostalima, Atlas strateške trgovine upotrebljava Svjetska carinska organizacija. Stoga se smatralo da je zanimljiv za Skupinu stručnjaka Odbora 1540. |

| 61. | Inicijativa centara izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a (EU CBRN CoE) uspostavljena je 2010. kao globalni program za izgradnju kapaciteta za ublažavanje rizika, bilo namjernog, slučajnog ili prirodnog podrijetla, koji se odnose na kemijske, biološke, radiološke i nuklearne materijale ili agense te rizika koji se odnose na povezana postrojenja ili lokacije. Inicijativa trenutačno okuplja 62 partnerske zemlje organizirane oko osam regionalnih tajništava smještenih u sljedećim regijama: afričko-atlantsko pročelje, središnja Azija, istočna i srednja Afrika, zemlje Vijeća za suradnju u Zaljevu, Bliski istok, sjeverna Afrika i Sahel, jugoistočna Azija te jugoistočna i istočna Europa. |

61.

| 62. | Inicijativa centara izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a financirana je u okviru Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru, koji je prestao vrijediti 2020., a zamijenit će ga Instrument za susjedstvo, razvoj i međunarodnu suradnju (NDICI) za razdoblje 2021.–2027. Prema izvješću Europskog revizorskog suda iz 2018. (tematsko izvješće Europskog revizorskog suda br. 14/2018), Inicijativa centara izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a ostvarila je napredak u ublažavanju rizika povezanih s kemijskim, biološkim, radiološkim i nuklearnim materijalima poboljšanjem kapaciteta i suradnje na nacionalnoj i regionalnoj razini te promicanjem kulture sigurnosti i suradnje. Zemlje sudionice podupire se u nastojanjima da dobrovoljno i na temelju regionalnog pristupa koji se temelji na potražnji uspostave nacionalne i regionalne strukture za koordinaciju i upravljanje. U okviru tih platformi razvijaju se i jačaju nacionalne politike u području KBRN-a te se izgrađuju kapaciteti na temelju posebnih potreba, procjena rizika i nacionalnih akcijskih planova. Podupire ih se putem nekoliko projekata regionalne suradnje koji se financiraju u okviru Inicijative i otvoreni su za druge financijske instrumente. Od 2010. financirano je 85 regionalnih projekata. Proračun za Inicijativu za desetogodišnje razdoblje s početkom od 2010. iznosi otprilike 250 milijuna EUR. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Mreža centara izvrsnosti sada je dobro razvijena. Tijekom pandemije bolesti COVID-19 pokazalo se da je otporna i održiva kada je nekoliko regionalnih tajništva pokrenulo niz internetskih seminara radi razmjene stručnog znanja te razmjene iskustava i najboljih praksi za upravljanje epidemijom. Ad hoc potpora za nekoliko zemalja pomogla im je uspostaviti odgovarajuće postupke za otkrivanje prvih slučajeva zaraze. Dugoročnom pomoći s posebnim naglaskom na Africi nastavit će se povećavati kapaciteti za rano otkrivanje i nadzor vrlo opasnih patogena putem primjene pristupa „Jedno zdravlje”. U nekoliko regija razvijaju se regionalni akcijski planovi u području KBRN-a, kao i međuregionalna suradnja. Nadalje, Inicijativa je postigla dostatnu zrelost za podržavanje daljnjih aktivnosti s ciljem rješavanja pitanja koja se odnose na upravljanje sigurnošću povezanih s kiberkriminalitetom, terorizmom, kritičnom infrastrukturom, krivotvorenim lijekovima, hibridnim prijetnjama i eksplozivima te za daljnji razvoj suradnje u području nuklearne forenzike, nadzora državne granice i kontrole izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom. U okviru mreže centara izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a Zajednički istraživački centar EU-a 2020. je u suradnji s Ministarstvom energetike SAD-a i Institutom za nuklearno istraživanje u Kijevu razvio aktivnosti obrazovanja i osposobljavanja u području nuklearne sigurnosti za sudionike iz Gruzije, Ukrajine, Azerbajdžana i Republike Moldove kako bi se povećala nuklearna sigurnost u crnomorskoj regiji te podržao provedbu triju projekata u području nuklearne sigurnosti u tim zemljama. U Ukrajini i Republici Moldovi provedene su simulacijske i terenske vježbe na temelju scenarijâ krijumčarenja nuklearnog oružja. Na Institutu za nuklearna istraživanja u Kijevu i Institutu za fiziku i tehnologiju u Harkovu organizirano je osposobljavanje mladih stručnjaka za nuklearnu sigurnost. Osim toga, uspostavljen je regionalni informacijski sustav za nuklearnu forenziku. Radi održavanja kapaciteta za nuklearnu forenziku u crnomorskoj regiji pokrenuta su tri popratna projekta za Gruziju, Ukrajinu, Azerbajdžan i Republiku Moldovu koji će započeti 2021. i kojima će upravljati Centar za znanost i tehnologiju u Ukrajini. Nadalje, osmišljen je projekt izgradnje kapaciteta za nuklearnu forenziku kojim u Gruziji i Armeniji upravlja Međunarodni znanstveno-tehnološki centar i koji će također započeti 2021. |

| 64. | Kad je riječ o unutarnjim aspektima ublažavanja kemijskih, bioloških, radioloških i nuklearnih prijetnji, krajem 2019. preispitana je provedba akcijskog plana za poboljšanje pripravnosti s obzirom na rizike za kemijsku, biološku, radiološku i nuklearnu sigurnost, koji je Komisija predstavila u listopadu 2017. kao dio šireg paketa mjera za borbu protiv terorizma, a taj se dokument i dalje smatra valjanim okvirom politike u području KBRN-a. Programom za borbu protiv terorizma iz 2020. ojačani su neki aspekti KBRN-a, posebno u pogledu prijetnje koju predstavljaju kemijski agensi i u pogledu biosigurnosti. Komisija trenutačno razmatra izvedivost ograničavanja pristupa nekim kemikalijama koje se mogu upotrijebiti u zlonamjerne svrhe. Rad na otkrivanju opasnosti u području KBRN-a, uključujući ispitivanja opreme koja koordinira Komisija, a koje su provele neke države članice, napredovao je prema planu. Međutim, neke aktivnosti u području KBRN-a koje su započete 2019. morale su biti obustavljene 2020., prije svega kampanja za osposobljavanje tijela kaznenog progona EU-a u području radioloških prijetnji, koja se provodila u centru za osposobljavanje EUSECTRA u Karlsruheu, u Njemačkoj. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Akcijski plan provodi se uz potporu projekata sufinanciranih iz Fonda za unutarnju sigurnost – policija. Među odabranim inicijativama dvije su bile posebno važne za politiku u području KBRN-a. U okviru jednog od njih (Mall-CBRN) razmatra se zaštita i pripravnost u području KBRN-a u velikim trgovačkim centrima, dok se u okviru drugog (Safe Stadium) primjenjuje sličan pristup na velike sportske dvorane, posebno nogometne stadione. Jedna od prednosti obiju inicijativa jest prisutnost relevantnih krajnjih korisnika u konzorcijima, npr. nogometnog kluba Real Madrid. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | Akcijski plan EU-a u području KBRN-a dobio je znanstvenu i tehničku potporu niza istraživačkih projekata koje financira program Sigurno društvo u sklopu 7. okvirnog programa. Istraživanjem se obuhvaća cijeli ciklus upravljanja krizama, od sprečavanja do sanacije. Aktivnosti kojima se utvrđuju potrebe u području normizacije mogle bi dovesti do standardâ „europskih normi”. U okviru programa Obzor 2020. putem fokusiranih tema ojačat će se aktualni rad u području istraživanja KBRN-a. |

SKUPINE ZA STRATEŠKO PROMIŠLJANJE

| 67. | Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2010/430/ZVSP (23) od 26. srpnja 2010. Konzorcij EU-a za neširenje oružja i razoružanje, koji je s djelovanjem započeo u siječnju 2011., aktivno podupire provedbu Strategije EU-a protiv širenja oružja za masovno uništenje. Vijeće je 26. veljače 2018. donijelo Odluku (ZVSP)2018/299 (24) kojom se dodatno proširuje potpora EU-a aktivnostima Konzorcija u razdoblju 2018.–2021. nastavno na dosadašnja postignuća i dodavanjem novih projekata. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Aktivnosti Konzorcija povećale su vidljivost EU-a u odnosu na treće zemlje i civilno društvo te su znatno doprinijele oblikovanju politika EU-a u područjima neširenja oružja i razoružanja. Konzorcij služi kao platforma za neformalne kontakte među stručnjacima iz prakse i potiče dijalog među različitim dionicima. Njegove aktivnosti doprinijele su podizanju svijesti o izazovima koje predstavljaju oružje za masovno uništenje i konvencionalno oružje te istražile rješenja za suočavanje s tim izazovima. Temelji se na opsežnoj mreži od 99 skupina za strateško promišljanje i istraživačkih centara diljem Europe, uključujući članove iz svih država članica EU-a te iz partnerskih zemalja kao što su Švicarska, Turska i Ukrajina. Tijekom 2020. mreži se pridružilo devet instituta. |

KONTROLE IZVOZA

| 71. | Radna skupina Vijeća za izvoz konvencionalnog oružja (COARM) 2020. započela je s radom na provedbi ciljeva iz zaključaka Vijeća o preispitivanju Zajedničkog stajališta 2008/944/ZVSP (26) o kontroli izvoza oružja (27). Nakon dogovora u okviru radne skupine COARM, Europska služba za vanjsko djelovanje u listopadu je na svojim internetskim stranicama pokrenula internetsku bazu podataka koja javnosti omogućuje uvid u podatke o izvozu oružja iz država članica i u njihovu analizu na način prilagođen korisnicima. Ta je baza podataka pozdravljena kao znatno povećanje transparentnosti izvoza oružja. Ona sadržava informacije o vrijednosti, odredištu i vrsti dozvola za izvoz oružja i o stvarnom izvozu iz država članica te će se ažurirati svake godine. Nadalje, u koviru COARM-a pripremljena je Odluka Vijeća o potvrdama o krajnjem korisniku za izvoz malog i lakog oružja i pripadajućeg streljiva. Ta je odluka donesena u siječnju 2021. i njome se doprinosi daljnjoj konvergenciji politika država članica o izvozu oružja. COARM je nastavio s informiranjem različitih dionika, uključujući organizacije civilnog društva, Međunarodni odbor Crvenog križa (ICRC) i predstavnike europske obrambene industrije, te s dijalogom s njima. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | EU je nastavio i svoje aktivnosti informiranja u cilju pružanja potpore trećim zemljama u uspostavi sustava kontrole izvoza oružja te promicanja univerzalizacije Ugovora o trgovini oružjem. Na temelju Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2018/101 (28) od 22. siječnja 2018. i njezine sljednice Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2020/1464 od 12. listopada 2020. o promicanju učinkovitih kontrola izvoza oružja (29), koje je proveo njemački Savezni ured za gospodarstvo i kontrolu izvoza (BAFA), održan je niz radionica i događanja za pojedinačnu pomoć, uglavnom u virtualnom formatu zbog pandemije. Osim toga, na temelju Odluke Vijeća (ZVSP) 2017/915 (30), koju provode BAFA i Expertise France, ostvarene su daljnje regionalne aktivnosti informiranja, prilagođeni nacionalni programi pomoći i ad hoc radionice za pojedinačnu pomoć, čime je podržana učinkovita provedba i univerzalizacija Ugovora o trgovini oružjem. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Sastanci u okviru političkog dijaloga o pitanjima kontrole izvoza oružja održani su 2020. s Norveškom i Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Zahvaljujući tim političkim dijalozima osiguran je forum za uspješne rasprave o pitanjima od zajedničkog interesa, kao što su izvozne politike u pogledu određenih odredišta, pitanja usklađenosti i kontrole te procesi povezani s Ugovorom o trgovini oružjem. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | EU je 2020. nastavio redovito ažuriranje svojih uredaba kako bi se uzeo u obzir razvoj događaja u području multilateralnih režima kontrole izvoza. Europska komisija stoga je donijela Delegiranu uredbu (EU) 2020/1749 (31) od 7. listopada 2020. kojom se ažurira EU-ov kontrolni popis robe s dvojnom namjenom u skladu s odlukama donesenim 2019. u okviru multilateralnih režima kontrole izvoza i uvela nove kontrole u pogledu, primjerice, softvera za praćenje izvršavanja zakonodavstva i alata u području digitalne forenzike. Ažuriranjem kontrolnog popisa EU-a 2020. uvedene su i kontrole nad 24 dodatne kemikalije, uključujući prekursore za nervni otrov Novičok, u skladu s dogovorom postignutim na sastanku između zasjedanja Australske skupine u veljači 2020. te kako bi se spriječila trgovina prekursorima kemijskog oružja. |
| --- | --- |

| 75. | Koordinacijska skupina za robu s dvojnom namjenom nastavila je podupirati učinkovitu i usklađenu provedbu kontrola izvoza u EU-u. Nove funkcije „elektroničkog sustava s dvojnom namjenom” počele su se upotrebljavati 2020. kako bi se sustav prilagodio regulatornim promjenama, npr. kontrolni popis ažuriran 2019. i sigurna savjetovanja elektroničkim putem među nadležnim tijelima. S obzirom na Brexit uvedena je nova funkcija za potporu razmjeni informacija s nadležnim tijelom Ujedinjene Kraljevine u okviru Protokola o Sjevernoj Irskoj. EU je unaprijedio i svoj rad na razvoju „platforme za elektroničko izdavanje dozvola” kojom bi se države članice koristile na dobrovoljnoj osnovi te je započeo rad na integraciji elektroničkih sustava za izdavanje dozvola za robu s dvojnom namjenom s elektroničkim carinskim sustavima u okviru inicijative jedinstvenog sučelja. Godišnje izvješće o kontroli izvoza (32) objavljeno je kako bi se osigurala transparentnost u pogledu kontrole izvoza i aktivnosti izdavanja dozvola, a na Forumu za kontrolu izvoza održanome 11. prosinca 2020. okupili su se dionici iz država članica, industrije i civilnog društva (33). |

| 76. | Znatno je napredovalo preispitivanje politike EU-a za kontrolu izvoza. Vijeće i Europski parlament postigli su dogovor o modernizaciji kontrola izvoza EU-a. Sveobuhvatne izmjene uvedene radi povećanja učinkovitosti i djelotvornosti kontrola uključuju ažurirane definicije i kontrolne parametre, usklađivanje, pojednostavnjenje i digitalizaciju izdavanja dozvola, povećanu razmjenu informacija i suradnju s trećim zemljama. Novom uredbom postojeći sustav EU-a za kontrolu izvoza postat će učinkovitiji uvođenjem nove dimenzije „ljudske sigurnosti” kako bi EU mogao odgovoriti na izazove novih tehnologija s dvojnom namjenom, posebno tehnologija za kibernadzor, koje predstavljaju rizik za nacionalnu i međunarodnu sigurnost, među ostalim zaštitu ljudskih prava. Nova uredba službeno će se donijeti i stupiti na snagu 2021. Pandemija je znatno utjecala na aktivnosti multilateralnih režima kontrole izvoza. Plenarne sjednice morale su biti otkazane, dok su virtualni sastanci omogućili radnim skupinama da nastave s određenim dijelom rada. Neovisno o tome, EU je sudjelovao na sastanku između zasjedanja Australske skupine u Bratislavi (5.–7. veljače 2020.). |

76.

| 77. | U šest je regija nastavljena provedba programa EU-a za kontrolu izvoza na razini ravnopravnih partnera radi jačanja učinkovitosti sustavâ za kontrolu izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom i povezanih materijala, opreme i tehnologija. Program je 2020. obuhvaćao 41 zemlju, među ostalim zemlje koje su uključene u ciljane inicijative za kontrolu izvoza s ukrajinskim Centrom za znanost i tehnologiju i Međunarodnim centrom za znanost i tehnologiju u Kazahstanu koji obuhvaćaju 14 zemalja. Održan je niz regionalnih radionica, događanja za nacionalnu pomoć i ad hoc seminara za potporu, zbog pandemije uglavnom u virtualnom obliku. |

77.

| 78. | Nastavila se intenzivna koordinacija programa EU-a za kontrolu izvoza na razini ravnopravnih partnera s programom Ministarstva vanjskih poslova SAD-a za kontrolu izvoza i povezanu sigurnost granica. Organizirani su zajednički seminari EU-a i SAD-a radi razmjene informacija o metodologijama za procjenu prijetnji, utvrđivanja zajedničkih pokazatelja učinka i koordiniranja pomoći na terenu. Služba za instrumente vanjske politike (FPI) i Zajednički istraživački centar (JRC) od 17. do 21. kolovoza 2020. organizirali su putem interneta šesto ljetno sveučilište EU-a na razini ravnopravnih partnera o strateškim kontrolama trgovine za partnerske zemlje Programa EU-a na razini ravnopravnih partnera za kontrolu izvoza robe s dvojnom namjenom. Internetski portal EU-a na razini ravnopravnih partnera premješten u službeno mrežno okruženje Europske unije (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en) dodatno je poboljšan 2020. Nastavit će služiti kao platforma za sve EU-ove programe informiranja u pogledu kontrole izvoza vojne robe i robe s dvojnom namjenom u cilju prilagođavanja razmjene informacija s partnerskim zemljama EU-a. Program se financira u okviru Instrumenta za doprinos stabilnosti i miru. |

78.

| 79. | Tijekom 2020. godine Zajednički istraživački centar (JRC) dodatno je razvio Priručnik o kontroli izvoza kemikalija, čime je baza podataka stavljena na raspolaganje na portalu JRC-a. Druga revizija priručnika bit će objavljena u proljeće 2021. Upućivanje: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news/world-trade-controls-export-control-handbook-chemicals. |

| 80. | U siječnju 2021. COM JRC objavio je novu internetsku platformu alatâ za izvješćivanje u području inovacija (TIM) u vezi s robom s dvojnom namjenom koja omogućuje mapiranje više od 70 milijuna sažetaka istraživanja (Scopus), patenata (Patstat) i projekata koji se financiraju sredstvima EU-a (baza podataka CORDIS), a značajni su za dvojnu namjenu.

| 81. | Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCR) neslužbeno je i dobrovoljno udruženje zemalja koje dijele ciljeve neširenja sustava bespilotne isporuke koji mogu isporučiti oružje za masovno uništenje i koje nastoje koordinirati nacionalne napore za izdavanje dozvola za izvoz s ciljem sprečavanja njegova širenja. Države sudionice MTCR-a obvezale su se na poštovanje smjernica zajedničke izvozne politike (Smjernice MTCR-a) koje se primjenjuju na integralni zajednički popis kontroliranih proizvoda (Prilog MTCR-u o opremi, softveru i tehnologiji). Partneri MTCR-a redovito razmjenjuju informacije o relevantnim nacionalnim pitanjima izdavanja dozvola za izvoz. Smjernice za MTCR i kontrolni popisi čine međunarodno referentno mjerilo za najbolje prakse za kontrolu izvoza robe i tehnologije povezane s raketama. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | Pitanje od presudne važnosti za EU u kontekstu MTCR-a i dalje je blokirano pristupanje devet država članica EU-a tom režimu, odnosno Cipra, Estonije, Hrvatske, Latvije, Litve, Malte, Rumunjske, Slovačke i Slovenije. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | Nadalje, kontinuitet i predvidljivost predsjedanja režimima kontrole izvoza kao što je MTCR ključni su za funkcioniranje i vjerodostojnost tih režima. Države članice EU-a koje su članice MTCR-a podnijele su neslužbeni dokument „O pitanjima predsjedanja” radi razmatranja plenarnog sastanka na kojem bi se istražile mogućnosti poticanja i podupiranja održivog predsjedanja režimom. EU će i dalje sudjelovati u raspravama s članovima o različitim mogućnostima. U kontekstu režima EU oduvijek podupire donošenje snažnih javnih izjava u pogledu MTCR-a kojima se odražavaju međunarodne bojazni povezane s lansiranjem balističkih projektila i znatnim razvojem raketne tehnologije u Iranu i DNRK-u. |

SVEMIR

| 84. | EU i njegove države članice nastavili su promicati očuvanje sigurnog, zaštićenog i održivog svemirskog okruženja te miroljubivu upotrebu svemira na pravednoj i uzajamno prihvatljivoj osnovi. Nastavili smo isticati važnost mjera transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja te potrebe za zagovaranjem odgovornog ponašanja u svemiru u okviru Ujedinjenih naroda. U tom je pogledu EU dao izjave o svemiru na Općoj skupštini UN-a. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | EU i njegove države članice i dalje su snažno predani sprečavanju utrke u naoružanju u svemiru, što je ključno za jačanje međunarodne sigurnosti i stabilnosti te za očuvanje dugoročne upotrebe svemirskog okruženja u miroljubive svrhe. Nastavili smo izražavati zabrinutost zbog razvoja svih protusatelitskih oružja i sposobnosti, uključujući oružje koje je smješteno na Zemlji, te naglašavati važnost brzog rješavanja takvog razvoja događaja u okviru međunarodnih nastojanja za sprečavanje utrke u naoružanju u svemiru. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | EU i njegove države članice ponovno su izrazile zadovoljstvo zbog donošenja preambule i 21 smjernice za dugoročnu održivost aktivnosti u svemiru koje je donio Odbor za miroljubivo korištenje svemirom i koje je 2019. rezolucijom podržala Opća skupština UN-a (34). Smjernice su važan dodatak mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja u svemiru (35). |
| --- | --- |

86.

| 87. | EU i njegove države članice pozdravili su usvajanje nove rezolucije o smanjenju prijetnji putem odgovornog ponašanja (36), što je pravodoban korak za smanjenje prijetnji i rizika povezanih sa svemirom te za promicanje odgovornog ponašanja u svemiru, posebno u okviru Ujedinjenih naroda. Pozvali su sve zemlje da se konstruktivno uključe u postizanje zajedničkog razumijevanja odgovornog ponašanja u svemiru, čemu će doprinijeti i EU. |

KLAUZULE O SPREČAVANJU ŠIRENJA ORUŽJA ZA MASOVNO UNIŠTENJE (OMU)

| 88. | U skladu s politikom sprečavanja širenja OMU-a i zaključcima Vijeća iz 2003. EU je nastavio rad na uključivanju obveza sprečavanja širenja OMU-a u sporazume s partnerskim zemljama. U tu su svrhu 2020. održani i pregovori s Ujedinjenom Kraljevinom u okviru priprema za Brexit i buduće odnose EU-a i Ujedinjene Kraljevine. U skladu sa zajedničkom odlukom EU-a i Kube o privremenoj primjeni određenih dijelova novog sporazuma između EU-a i Kube, prvi dijalog EU-a i Kube o neširenju oružja za masovno uništenje održan je u ožujku 2019. u Bruxellesu na temelju klauzule o oružju za masovno uništenje u novom sporazumu, a drugi je dijalog održan putem interneta u rujnu 2020. |
