Letno poročilo o napredku pri izvajanju strategije Evropske unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje za leto 2020

(2021/C 298/01)

UVOD

| 1. | V tem poročilu o napredku pri izvajanju Strategije Evropske unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje, ki jo je Evropski svet sprejel decembra 2003 (dok. 15708/03), so zajete dejavnosti, ki so se izvajale v letu 2020. Poročilo, ki ni izčrpno, se osredotoča le na najpomembnejše dogajanje. Vse dejavnosti so se izvajale v širšem okviru varnostne politike EU in strategije EU za varnostno unijo za obdobje 2020–2025. |

1.

| 2. | Leto 2020 je bilo leto brez primere, saj je pandemija COVID-19 resno prizadela delo na večstranski ravni, predvsem zaradi omejitev potovanj. Medtem ko je bilo več večstranskih srečanj, med njimi zlasti 10. konferenca o pregledu Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (NPT), preloženih, je bilo mnoge druge mogoče organizirati prek spleta. Na ta način so se večstranske razprave lahko nadaljevale, pri čemer je treba priznati, da imajo stiki prek videokonference svoje omejitve. To je pomenilo nove izzive, saj večina dela EU v zvezi z orožjem za množično uničevanje poteka v večstranskih forumih. |

| 3. | Vodilna načela Evropske unije, izhajajoča iz Globalne strategije za zunanjo in varnostno politiko Evropske unije (dok. 10715/16), Strategije Evropske unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in novih smernic za ukrepanje (dok. 17172/08), so še naprej:






  (a) | učinkovit multilateralizem, vključno z ohranitvijo osrednje vloge in spodbujanjem univerzalnosti svetovne ureditve za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje, z diplomatsko dejavnostjo in finančno pomočjo tretjim državam in mednarodnim organizacijam; |

| 5. | Delovna skupina v okviru Sveta EU za neširjenje orožja (CONOP) se je v letu 2020 sestala devetkrat, enkrat tudi na ravni direktorjev, od tega zaradi pandemije sedemkrat prek neformalnih videokonferenc, za razpravo o stališčih in prihodnjih dejavnostih EU. Delegacije EU na Dunaju, v Ženevi in New Yorku so pripravile in koordinirale množico izjav EU za večstranske forume in dejavno prispevale k oblikovanju politik prek rednih usklajevalnih sestankov na ravni EU in udeležbe na sejah Delovne skupine. |

JEDRSKA VPRAŠANJA

| 6. | EU je še vedno v celoti zavezana spodbujanju vsesplošne uporabe ter doslednega, popolnega in učinkovitega izvajanja Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (NPT), začetku veljavnosti in vsesplošni uporabi CTBT ter začetku in hitremu zaključku pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa na konferenci o razorožitvi (FMCT). Med njenimi prednostnimi nalogami je še naprej tudi vzpostavitev območja brez orožja za množično uničevanje in pripadajočih izstrelitvenih sistemov na Bližnjem vzhodu. V letu 2020 je EU še naprej zagotavljala prispevke za Inštitut Združenih narodov za raziskave na področju razoroževanja na podlagi Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2019/938 (1) o podpori procesu krepitve zaupanja kot podlagi za vzpostavitev takšnega območja. |

Pogodba o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in Mednarodna agencija za atomsko energijo

| 7. | Cikel pregleda NPT naj bi se končal aprila/maja 2020 na deseti konferenci o pregledu NPT. Zaradi svetovnih zdravstvenih razmer in posledičnih omejitev potovanj so se države pogodbenice marca 2020 dogovorile, da pregledno konferenco preložijo na januar 2021. Pozneje istega leta je bila ta ponovno preložena, in sicer okvirno na avgust 2021. EU je prispevala k vsem ustreznim razpravam, organiziranim virtualno in tudi v živo, vključno s splošno razpravo na 75. zasedanju Prvega odbora Generalne skupščine ZN za razorožitev in mednarodno varnost. |

7.

| 8. | Izvajanje Sklepa Sveta za SZVP (SZVP) 2019/615 (2) se je v letu 2020 nadaljevalo z dvema dejavnostma, ki ju je izvedel Urad ZN za razorožitev (UN-ODA): tematski seminar o prvem stebru (jedrsko razoroževanje) v Ženevi (29.–30. januar) in tematski seminar o drugem stebru (neširjanje jedrskega orožja) v New Yorku (2. in 3. marca). Glavni cilj sklepa Sveta je prispevati k uspešnemu izidu konference o pregledu NPT ter pripravi realističnega in izvedljivega sklopa ukrepov in priporočil, o katerih je mogoče doseči soglasje. Dveh preostalih regionalnih srečanj, namenjenih obravnavi vseh treh stebrov NPT skozi prizmo regionalnih prednostnih nalog in pomislekov, ni bilo mogoče organizirati. Sklep Sveta (SZVP) 2019/615 o podpori Unije dejavnostim, ki potekajo pred pregledno konferenco je bil junija 2020 s Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2020/906 (3) brezstroškovno podaljšan do 16. aprila 2021. |

| 9. | EU je še naprej podpirala glavne pristojnosti Mednarodne agencije za atomsko energijo (IAEA) glede neširjenja orožja, jedrske varnosti, jedrske zaščite, uporab jedrske energije in tehničnega sodelovanja, tudi z ustrezno finančno podporo. EU in Euratom sta dejavno sodelovali na vseh srečanjih upravljavskih organov IAEA, pri čemer se je EU usklajevala na Dunaju. Na 64. generalni konferenci IAEA septembra 2020 sta bili soglasno sprejeti resoluciji o jedrskih nadzornih ukrepih in jedrski varnosti, ki ju je predložila EU. |

11.

| 12. | Skupno raziskovalno središče (JRC) in IAEA sta še naprej izvajala Practical Arrangements on Cooperation on Nuclear Science Applications (Praktična ureditev o sodelovanju na področju uporabe jedrske znanosti), ki je bila podpisana ob robu petega srečanja višjih uradnikov EU in IAEA 15. februarja 2017, in s katero naj bi vzpostavili skupne dejavnosti in preprečili podvajanje dela. Ena od dejavnosti iz te praktične ureditve je okoljsko spremljanje radioaktivnosti, ki se meri po Evropi in na več drugih lokacijah po svetu v obliki povprečnih in maksimalnih količin sevanja gama v zadnjih 24 urah. Ti podatki se merijo na okoli 5 500 merilnih mestih, ki jih upravljajo pristojni nacionalni organi v 39 državah, ti pa sporočajo najnovejše radiološke vrednosti Evropski radiološki platformi za izmenjavo podatkov (EURDEP). Sporočilo o radiološki nesreči ali izrednih razmerah se po posvetovanju s pristojnimi nacionalnimi organi pošlje prek omrežij za zgodnje obveščanje, na primer ECURIE, ki ga upravlja Evropska komisija, ali pa EMERCON, ki ga upravlja IAEA. |

12.

| 13. | Skupni celoviti načrt ukrepanja je ključni element globalne strukture za boj proti širjenju jedrskega orožja in je rezultat večstranske diplomacije. Celovito izvajanje tega sporazuma je bistveno za varnost v Evropi. EU je izražala obžalovanje nad siromašenjem jedrskih zavez Irana v okviru skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja, ki se je začelo julija 2019 in nadaljevalo celo leto 2020. Visoki predstavnik EU kot koordinator skupne komisije za skupni celoviti načrt ukrepanja je še naprej v celoti zavezan sodelovanju z mednarodno skupnostjo v prizadevanjih za ohranitev skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja in njegovo dosledno izvajanje. Z zadovoljstvom smo se seznanili z izgledi, da se ZDA vrnejo k skupnemu celovitemu načrtu ukrepanja, Iran pa ga začne ponovno dosledno izvajati, ter podpiramo potekajoča intenzivna diplomatska prizadevanja in stike visokega predstavnika EU z vsemi relevantnimi partnerji. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Obenem EU še naprej prispeva k njegovemu izvajanju z usklajevanjem dela skupne komisije in dela strokovnih delovnih skupin, ustanovljenih v njegovem okviru. Prav tako še naprej podpira dolgoročno poslanstvo IAEA, tj. preverjanje in spremljanje, kako Iran izpolnjuje zaveze, povezane z jedrskim vprašanjem. Kljub omejitvam, povezanim s COVID, EU še naprej sodeluje z Iranom na področju jedrske energije za civilne namene iz Priloge III k skupnemu celovitemu načrtu ukrepanja na področju jedrske varnosti. Sistem za nabave v okviru skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja, vzpostavljen za pregledovanje prenosov jedrskega blaga ali blaga z dvojno rabo v Iran, ostaja v celoti delujoč. Delovna skupina za javna naročila se je leta 2020 sestala sedemkrat, negativni trend predlogov iz leta 2019 pa je bil preobrnjen. Iran ostaja največji prejemnik pomoči EU na področju jedrske varnosti. Civilno jedrsko sodelovanje EU-Iran vključuje podporo za posodobitev raziskovalnega reaktorja v Araku (Khondab), iranski regulator za jedrsko varnost (INRA), preverjanje in spremljanje v Iranu s strani IAEA, stresne teste v jedrski elektrarni Bushehr in dobavo opreme za iranski center za jedrsko varnost v okviru INRA. |

14.

| 15. | Trenutno standard za preverjanje določajo celoviti sporazumi o nadzornih ukrepih in dodatni protokoli, EU pa si še naprej prizadeva za takojšni vsesplošni pristop k njim. Tesno sodelovanje med Euratomom in IAEA omogoča delujoče in učinkovite nadzorne ukrepe. EU dejavno podpira sistem IAEA za nadzorne ukrepe prek programa Evropske komisije za podporo nadzornim ukrepom (EC-SP), instrumenta za sodelovanje na področju jedrske varnosti in podpornih programov posameznih držav članic. EC-SP je prej prispeval h krepitvi zmogljivosti jedrskih nadzornih ukrepov IAEA, vključno z zmogljivostmi za preverjanje izvajanja skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja, tudi tako, da inšpektorjem IAEA, zadolženim za nadzorne ukrepe, omogoča usposabljanje na področju dodatnega dostopa in delovanja COMPUCEA (kombinirani postopek za analizo koncentracije in obogatitve urana) v okviru preverjanja obogatitve snovi UF6, vključno z zadevnimi referenčnimi materiali. EC-SP podpira mrežo analitičnih laboratorijev IAEA pri njihovih pooblastilih za preverjanje v kontekstu skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja, in sicer z analitičnimi storitvami, standardiziranimi metodami in orodji za nadzor kakovosti. Mrežo analitičnih laboratorijev IAEA pri razvoju novih metod in protokolov merjenja za analizo okoljskih vzorcev v skladu z Dodatnim protokolom podpirata zlasti analiza delcev ter proizvodnja in certificiranje referenčnih delcev. |

15.

| 16. | Evropska komisija še naprej vodi in dejavno podpira Evropsko združenje za raziskovanje in razvoj nadzornih ukrepov (ESARDA), ki prav tako nadaljuje svoje mednarodne dejavnosti ozaveščanja z memorandumi o soglasju z Afriško komisijo za jedrsko energijo in Azijsko-pacifiško mrežo za nadzorne ukrepe, pri čemer tesno sodeluje z Inštitutom za ravnanje z jedrskim materialom. Delovne skupine v okviru ESARDA razvijajo, preizkušajo in potrjujejo inovativne nadzorne ukrepe in pristope na področju neširjenja orožja, od česar imata neposredne koristi Direktorat za jedrske nadzorne ukrepe v GD za energetiko in Oddelek za nadzorne ukrepe Mednarodne agencije za atomsko energijo. Kljub omejitvam, povezanim s COVID, so bila izvedena tehnična usposabljanja na daljavo o bogatenju urana, preverjanju izotopne sestave plutonija in lasersko kartiranje za preverjanje zbiralnikov (Laser Mapping for Containment Verification – LMCV) za inšpektorje Euratoma. Pred pandemijo je potekalo tudi usposabljanje iz štetja nevtronov. Ustaljeni tečaj ESARDA o jedrskih nadzornih ukrepih in neširjenju orožja je bil leta 2020 odpovedan, zato pa so bili za tečaj leta 2021 (12.–16. april) pripravljeni obsežnejši scenariji. Z rezultati raziskav in razvoja ter pobudami na področju izobraževanja in usposabljanja se evropske in mednarodne zmogljivosti na področju jedrskih nadzornih ukrepov in strateškega nadzora trgovine izboljšujejo. Sadovi tega dela pa so bili uporabljeni tudi kot prispevek k pobudam na področju jedrske varnosti in jedrske razorožitve. Skupno raziskovalno središče EK je izkušnje, ki si jih je pridobilo s tehničnim usposabljanjem na daljavo za inšpektorje za nadzorne ukrepe, izmenjalo z IAEA na tristranskih srečanjih (IAEA, Euratom in JRC).Tradicionalno majsko srečanje ESARDA v Luxembourgu je bilo prestavljeno na november 2020 v soorganizaciji z Inštitutom za zaščito pred sevanjem in jedrsko varnost (IRSN) v virtualni obliki z 270 udeleženci. ESARDA pripravlja prvo skupno letno srečanje z Inštitutom za ravnanje z jedrskim materialom, ki je načrtovano kot virtualni dogodek konec avgusta 2021. |

16.

| 17. | Evropska komisija je financirala obsežen projekt usposabljanja in izobraževanja s področja jedrskih nadzornih ukrepov z Evropsko mrežo za jedrsko izobraževanje (ENEN). V okviru zadevne pogodbe si ENEN skupaj s Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), JRC, ESARDA in IAEA prizadeva oblikovati prvi akademski podiplomski program s področja jedrskih nadzornih ukrepov, ki naj bi stekel v študijskem letu 2021/2022. Trenutno poteka posebna kampanja, s katero naj bi pritegnili neevropske študente. Za poučevanje pa je že bilo določeno do 35 strokovnjakov predavateljev. |

17.

| 18. | Svet je na predlog Evropske službe za zunanje delovanje (ESZD) leta 2020 sklenil prispevati k univerzalizaciji nekaterih elementov sistema IAEA za nadzorne ukrepe s posebnim poudarkom na spremenjenem Protokolu o majhnih količinah (SQP) in Dodatnem protokolu (AP) z vrsto načrtovanih demarš, naslovljenih na tretje države (6). Te demarše so se začele izročati decembra 2020. |

18.

| 19. | Skupaj z državami članicami pripisuje izredno velik pomen zagotavljanju in stalnemu izboljševanju jedrske varnosti po vsem svetu. EU je s spremenjeno direktivo o jedrski varnosti, ki je začela veljati leta 2017, pravno uveljavila cilje Dunajske deklaracije o jedrski varnosti. Glavni element spremenjene direktive je uvedba varnostnega cilja za vse upravljavce, da se preprečijo nesreče in večji izpusti radioaktivnih snovi. S spremenjeno direktivo so bili v pravo o Euratomu vključeni tudi tematski medsebojni strokovni pregledi. Prvi evropski tematski medsebojni strokovni pregled je bil uspešno opravljen. Vse države članice EU so nove zahteve prenesle v svoje nacionalno pravo. |

19.

| 20. | EU je miroljubno rabo jedrske energije podprla tako, da je v obdobju 2014–2020 za spodbujanje jedrske varnosti, varstva pred sevanjem ter uporabo učinkovitih in delujočih nadzornih ukrepov v tretjih državah namenila 325 milijonov EUR. Evropska komisija v sodelovanju z IAEA in drugimi partnerji podpira izvajanje osrednjega strateškega načrta za sanacijo okolja v Srednji Aziji, ki bo financiran z namenskega računa za sanacijo okolja, ki ga upravlja Evropska banka za obnovo in razvoj (EBRD). EU se kot največja donatorka še naprej zavzema za sodelovanje z državami upravičenkami (Kirgizistanom, Tadžikistanom in Uzbekistanom), da bi jih spodbudila k angažiranosti in začetku izvajanja konkretnih projektov čiščenja in sanacije. |
| --- | --- |

Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov

| 23. | Začetek veljavnosti in vsesplošna uporaba Pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT) sta pomembna cilja Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje. Vse države članice EU so svojo zavezanost Pogodbi pokazale tako, da so jo ratificirale in začele izvajati iz nje izhajajoče temeljne obveznosti. CTBT je močan ukrep za krepitev zaupanja in varnosti. EU je leta 2020 izvajala diplomatske dejavnosti v podporo CTBT, prilagojene možnostim, ki so bile zaradi pandemije omejene. Promocija začetka veljavnosti CTBT je bil eden od ukrepov v programu generalnega sekretarja ZN Securing our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament (Varovanje naše skupne prihodnosti: agenda za razorožitev), ki ga je EU sklenila podpreti. EU je v svojih izjavah v zadevnih forumih ter v dvostranskih stikih z zadevnimi državami iz Priloge II in državami, ki vanjo niso vključene, vztrajno pozivala k ratifikaciji Pogodbe. Poleg tega je posebna odposlanka za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje 6. oktobra 2020 sodelovala na okrogli mizi v sklopu spletnega seminarja The CTBT and the 10th NPT Review Conference (CTBT in 10. konferenca o pregledu NPT), ki ga je organizirala Organizacija pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBTO). |

23.

| 24. | EU dosledno promovira prednosti in prispevke te pogodbe za mir, varnost, razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja, tudi kadar se uporablja v civilne namene. EU je leta 2020 s Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2020/901 (7) o podpori Unije dejavnostim Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO za okrepitev njenih zmogljivosti opazovanja in preverjanja podaljšala finančno podporo za Pripravljalno komisijo CTBTO za nadaljnje triletno obdobje. K vzdrževanju in krepitvi ureditve preverjanja v okviru CTBT so EU in države članice prispevale tudi z zagotavljanjem tehnične podpore, razvoja zmogljivosti in omogočanjem udeležbe strokovnjakov na srečanjih v okviri CTBTO, zlasti za države v razvoju. EU je dejavno sodelovala na sejah Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO ter njenih delovnih skupin A in B, pri čemer se je EU usklajevala v Delovni skupini za neširjenje orožja in na Dunaju. |

Pobude v zvezi z jedrsko varnostjo

| 25. | EU je podprla sklic in izid mednarodne konference o jedrski varnosti (ICONS 2020), ki je potekala februarja 2020. V ministrski izjavi, sprejeti na navedeni konferenci, je ponovno poudarjena zavezanost ohranjanju in krepitvi učinkovite in celovite jedrske varnosti vsega jedrskega in drugega radioaktivnega materiala in objektov ter priznana osrednja vloga IAEA pri omogočanju in usklajevanju mednarodnega sodelovanja na področju jedrske varnosti. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | EU je še naprej promovirala Mednarodno konvencijo za preprečevanje jedrskega terorizma (ICSANT) in Spremembo Konvencije o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala kot temeljna elementa globalne ureditve za jedrsko varnost in boj proti terorizmu. Urad Združenih narodov za droge in kriminal (UNODC) ter Urad Združenih narodov za boj proti terorizmu (UNOCT) sta še naprej izvajala Sklep Sveta (SZVP) 2018/1939 (8) o podpori Unije za vsesplošno uporabo in učinkovito izvajanje ICSANT. Cilj sklepa Sveta je povečanje števila pristopov k ICSANT, ozaveščanje nacionalnih oblikovalcev politike in nosilcev odločanja ter krepitev zmogljivosti, da bi prispevali h kakovostnejši nacionalni zakonodaji in okrepili zmogljivosti nacionalnih deležnikov, vključno z uradniki kazenskega pravosodja, za preiskovanje in pregon primerov jedrskega terorizma in razsojanje o njih. Zaradi pandemije je bilo več dogodkov, predvidenih za leto 2020, preloženih oziroma uspešno organiziranih v virtualni obliki. |
| --- | --- |

26.

| 27. | EU je še naprej podpirala svetovno pobudo za boj proti jedrskemu terorizmu (GICNT) in njeno poslanstvo pri razvoju globalnih zmogljivosti za preprečevanje in odkrivanje jedrskega terorizma ter odzivanje nanj. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | EU je skupaj z državami članicami dejavno vključena v delo skupine GICNT na vseh področjih, od odkrivanja jedrskih snovi in jedrske forenzike do odziva in blažitve. |

28.

| 29. | Center EU za usposabljanje na področju jedrske varnosti in za odzivanje na nedovoljena dejanja, povezana z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi materiali (EUSECTRA), je v celoti operativen od leta 2013 in deluje v korist držav članic Evropske unije in partnerskih držav, med njimi več članic GICNT. Center upravljata JRC EK na lokacijah v Karlsruheju (Nemčija) in Ispri (Italija), v tesnem sodelovanju z nosilci drugih mednarodnih pobud, ki jih podpirajo IAEA in več partnerskih držav v okviru GICNT. Center se uporablja tudi za praktične vaje, predvsem v zvezi z bojem proti tihotapljenju jedrskih materialov. EUSECTRA se dejavno posveča potrebam držav članic EU in partnerjev EU po usposabljanju, tudi z usklajenimi usposabljanji za delegate držav članic na carinskem področju in področju kazenskega pregona, ki so že bila izvedena in so načrtovana v obdobju 2019–2021 (v neposrednem sodelovanju z Evropsko komisijo oz. njenima GD HOME in GD TAXUD). EUSECTRA krepi infrastrukturo, ki se uporablja za izvajanje usposabljanja, razvija virtualna učna orodja in na zahtevo držav članic EU zagotavlja oceno učinkovitosti opreme. Zaradi pandemije je bilo usposabljanje v živo omejeno. Razvit je bil hibridni pristop z uporabo sodobnih sredstev, ki se osredotoča na terenske vaje z uporabo instrumentov na daljavo ter dejansko praktično uporabo jedrskih in radioaktivnih materialov za podporo prizadevanjem proti grožnjam KBRJ in jedrskemu terorizmu. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | Evropska komisija in države članice EU so nadaljevale jedrskoforenzične dejavnosti, namenjene prepoznavanju temeljnih lastnosti prestreženega jedrskega materiala, in sicer z uporabo vrhunskih jedrskih forenzičnih zmogljivosti v JRC v Karlsruheju v Nemčiji. |
| --- | --- |

30.

| 31. | JRC in ESARDA sta zagotovila znaten prispevek h knjigi Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Verification – Innovative Systems Concepts (Neširjenje jedrskega orožja in preverjanje nadzora nad orožjem – koncepti inovativnih sistemov), ki je bila objavljena leta 2020. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | Evropska komisija je še naprej razvijala zmogljivosti držav članic EU za preskušanje in ocenjevanje učinkovitosti opreme, ki se uporablja za odkrivanje nedovoljenega prometa z jedrskimi in radioaktivnimi materiali, in sicer v okviru faze II svojega programa ITRAP+10, kar naj bi vodilo k nadaljnji harmonizaciji in standardizaciji ter znatno prispevalo k mednarodnim standardom. V ta namen je Komisija na mednarodni konferenci o jedrski varnosti (ICONS) 2020 organizirala tudi dobro obiskan spremljevalni dogodek. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Evropska komisija ima še naprej pomembno vlogo v Delovni skupini za nadzor meje za jedrsko varnost. Predsedovala je tako tej skupini kot tudi njenima dvema podskupinama za tehnologije odkrivanja in razvoj zmogljivosti. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Evropska komisija je nadaljevala raziskovalno delo v zvezi z razvojem nove tehnike preskusov brez porušitve, in sicer odložene gama spektrometrije za preverjanje specifičnih značilnosti jedrskih materialov v sodelovanju z IAEA. V okviru podpornega programa za IAEA je bil predložen skupni ukrep (JRC in IAEA). |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | Leta 2020 je TAXUD, ki sta ga podprla tudi Skupno raziskovalno središče in EUSECTRA, zagnal interaktivni program e-učenja za podporo carinikom, ki se seznanjajo z nadzorom meja z vidika radioaktivnih in jedrskih materialov. Osnovni modul prikazuje pomembno vlogo, ki jo imajo carinski uradniki pri odkrivanju jedrskih in radioaktivnih materialov. Obenem jih seznanja s tveganji in grožnjami, vključuje pa tudi osnovno predstavitev zadevnih materialov, opreme in postopkov. V nadaljevalnem modulu so iste teme obravnavane podrobneje. Oba tečaja izhajata iz realističnih scenarijev, ki vključujejo morska pristanišča, letališča, železnice in kopenske meje, ki udeležencem omogočajo, da preskusijo svoje odločanje. Sodelovanje med GD TAXUD in JRC je prineslo večje sinergije med carinskimi upravami držav članic. Usposabljanja, ki se izvajajo v centru EUSECTRA, bodo nacionalnim strokovnjakom služila kot platforma za izmenjavo najboljših praks na področju jedrske varnosti pri zaščiti meja, kar bo prispevalo k napredovanju harmonizacije postopkov. To je del odločnih prizadevanj za skupen boj proti trgovini z jedrskim orožjem in olajšanje trgovine s carinskimi kontrolnimi točkami. Slednjič je cilj ta, da se s spodbujanjem skupne kulture jedrske varnosti preprečuje, da bi posamezniki dobili dostop do škodljivih materialov. |

Pobude v zvezi z preverjanjem jedrskega razoroževanja

| 36. | EU in njene države članice so podprle oblikovanje skupine vladnih strokovnjakov za preverjanje jedrskega razoroževanja na zasedanju Generalne skupščine ZN leta 2016, pozdravile razprave v okviru te skupine in se strinjale s priporočilom, naj se delo nadaljuje ob upoštevanju poročila skupine. EU v celoti podpira resolucijo Generalne skupščine ZN 74/50 in imenovanje nove skupine vladnih strokovnjakov, ki se bo sestajala v letih 2021 in 2022 ter še naprej obravnavala vlogo preverjanja pri spodbujanju jedrske razorožitve. EU podpira delo širših partnerstev in kooperativnih ureditev za preverjanje, obenem pa sodeluje pri delu Mednarodnega partnerstva za preverjanje jedrskega razoroževanja (IPNDV) vse od njegove vzpostavitve leta 2015. EU je prav tako podpornica konkretnega ukrepa v zvezi s preverjanjem jedrskega razoroževanja iz programa generalnega sekretarja ZN Securing our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament (Varovanje naše skupne prihodnosti: agenda za razorožitev). |

Regionalna vprašanja

| 37. | EU in njene države članice so še naprej pozivale Demokratično ljudsko republiko Korejo (DLRK), naj sprejme konkretne ukrepe za popolno, preverljivo in nepovratno opustitev programov v zvezi z orožjem za množično uničevanje in balističnimi izstrelki. To se je odražalo v vseh ustreznih izjavah EU. S stališča EU so izstrelitve balističnih raket, ki jih je izvedla Demokratična ljudska republika Koreja (DLRK) marca in aprila 2020, pomenile kršitev več resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN, resno grožnjo miru in varnosti na regionalni in mednarodni ravni ter spodkopavanje mednarodnih prizadevanj za izgradnjo trajnega miru in varnosti na Korejskem polotoku. Demonstracija očitno novih izstrelkov oktobra in zatrjevanje DLRK, da se ne čuti več obvezana spoštovati moratorij na preskušanje jedrskega orožja in medcelinskih balističnih izstrelkov, so še dodatno škodili okolju, v katerem bi bilo mogoče obnoviti dialog. EU je DLRK pozvala, naj nemudoma ustavi vse svoje izstrelitve, začne konstruktivna pogajanja, sprejme konkretne in verodostojne ukrepe za vzpostavitev zaupanja ter popolno, preverljivo in nepovratno opusti izvajanje vseh programov jedrskega orožja in balističnih izstrelkov. Še naprej jo je odločno pozivala, naj dosledno upošteva vse ustrezne resolucije Varnostnega sveta ZN ter svoje druge mednarodne obveznosti in zaveze, brez odlašanja podpiše in ratificira CTBT ter spet začne izpolnjevati svoje obveznosti glede nadzornih ukrepov v okviru NPT. EU je vse resolucije Varnostnega sveta hitro prenesla v zakonodajo EU, sprejela pa je tudi stroge avtonomne sankcije, ki dopolnjujejo in krepijo sankcije, ki so jih sprejeli ZN. EU si je še naprej prizadevala, da bi druge države spodbudila k celovitemu izvajanju sankcij proti DLRK. Tiskovna predstavnica ESZD je v izjavi z dne 16. junija izrazila obžalovanje nad ravnanjem DLRK, s katerim se je napetost še povečala, in odločno pozvala k ponovnemu začetku trajnega diplomatskega procesa s ciljem čim prej vzpostaviti zaupanje ter trajen mir in varnost na Korejskem polotoku, na katerem ne bo jedrskega orožja. |

Konferenca za razorožitev/Pogodba o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa

| 38. | EU je še naprej soglasno zavezana preverljivemu jedrskemu razoroževanju in nadzoru nad orožjem na podlagi pogodb ter poudarja, da je treba obnoviti večstranska prizadevanja in dati nov zagon večstranskim pogajalskim telesom, zlasti Konferenci za razorožitev. Dolgoročna prednostna naloga EU v okviru Konference za razorožitev je takojšnji začetek pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa (FMCT). EU podpira začetek teh pogajanj v skladu z dokumentom CD/1299 in mandatom, ki ga ta vsebuje. EU poziva vse članice Konference za razorožitev, da brez odlašanja začnejo pogajanja o FMCT in delo, povezano z drugimi vprašanji na dnevnem redu. EU je na podlagi Sklepa Sveta (EU) 2017/2284 (9) z dne 11. decembra 2017 prispevala znatno finančno podporo za Urad ZN za razorožitev (UNODA), da bi olajšala sodelovanje afriških, azijskih, latinskoameriških in karibskih držav v posvetovanjih in drugih dejavnostih, povezanih s FMCT. EU hkrati vse države, ki imajo jedrsko orožje in ki še niso razglasile moratorija na proizvodnjo cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa, poziva, naj ta moratorij nemudoma razglasijo in se ga tudi držijo. Država članica EU, ki ima jedrsko orožje, je razglasila ustrezne moratorije in razgradila zadevne objekte. |

BIOLOŠKO OROŽJE

| 44. | EU in njene države članice odločno podpirajo Konvencijo o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja (BTWC) ter so zelo vključene v mednarodna prizadevanja za izboljšanje biološke varnosti in biološke zaščite po vsem svetu. EU je s skupnimi ukrepi in sklepi Sveta od leta 2006 za neposredno podporo BTWC zagotovila skoraj 10 milijonov EUR. Poleg tega je EU zagotovila dodatnih 6 milijonov EUR v podporo krepitvi biološke varnosti in zaščite v Ukrajini in številnih državah Latinske Amerike ter v podporo mehanizmu generalnega sekretarja ZN za preiskovanje domnevne uporabe kemičnega in biološkega orožja. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | EU je julija 2020 izvedla kampanjo ozaveščanja o pomenu vsesplošne uporabe Konvencije o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja, in sicer jo je naslovila na 13 držav, ki še niso njene pogodbenice. Spodbudila jih je tudi, naj h Konvenciji pristopijo še pred deveto pregledno konferenco. |
| --- | --- |

45.

| 46. | V letu 2020 se je nadaljevalo izvajanje Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2019/97 (13) v podporo Konvenciji o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja, vendar ga je pandemija COVID-19 bistveno ovirala. S Sklepom je bil Uradu ZN za razoroževanje (UNODA) za obdobje 2019–2022 zagotovljen proračun v višini 3 milijonov EUR. To bo Enoti za podporo izvajanju BTWC omogočilo izvedbo šestih novih projektov v podporo vsesplošni uporabi te konvencije; razvoj zmogljivosti za nacionalno izvajanje BTWC, vključno s tremi medsebojnimi strokovnimi pregledi; spodbujanje mrež za biološko varnost na južni polobli; oblikovanje orodij za ozaveščanje, izobraževanje in sodelovanje; izboljšanje pripravljenosti za odzivanje na napade z biološkimi sredstvi. Na virtualnem srečanju 14. oktobra 2020 sta bila vzpostavljena nacionalni program pripravljenosti za Nigerijo ter spletno usposabljanje o pripravi in predložitvi ukrepov za krepitev zaupanja. |

BALISTIČNI IZSTRELKI

Haaški kodeks ravnanja

| 53. | Haaški kodeks ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov (HCoC) je rezultat prizadevanj mednarodne skupnosti za ureditev področja balističnih izstrelkov, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti kot nosilce orožja za množično uničevanje. HCoC je edini večstranski instrument, namenjen krepitvi preglednosti in zaupanja, ki ureja širjenje balističnih izstrelkov. Članice so se s podpisom HCoC prostovoljno zavezale, da bodo predhodno priglaševale izstreljevanje balističnih in nosilnih raket ter preskusnih poletov. Države, ki so podpisale HCoC, so se tudi zavezale, da bodo vsako leto predložile izjavo o svoji politiki glede balističnih izstrelkov in nosilnih raket. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | EU kodeks že od vsega začetka odločno podpira. K njemu so pristopile vse države članice EU. Od podpisa in začetka veljavnosti politično zavezujočega HCoC novembra 2002 v Haagu na Nizozemskem se je število podpisnic s 93 povzpelo na 143. K temu so med drugim pripomogla diplomatska prizadevanja EU v podporo vsesplošni uporabi kodeksa v številnih državah nepodpisnicah. |

54.

| 55. | EU se vztrajno zavzema za vsesplošno uporabo, dosledno izvajanje in boljše delovanje kodeksa. Svet EU je v zadnjem desetletju v okviru SVZP sprejel vrsto sklepov/skupnih ukrepov v podporo haaškemu kodeksu ravnanja in neširjenju balističnih izstrelkov nasploh. EU s temi sklepi Sveta finančno podpira dejavnosti ozaveščanja o HCoC, med drugim dogodke ob robu, raziskave, sestanke strokovnjakov in regionalne seminarje, namenjene ozaveščanju. Te dejavnosti izvaja Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique s sedežem v Parizu, ponavadi pa pri njih sodeluje tudi rotirajoče predsedstvo HCoC. |

56.

| 57. | Zaradi pandemije COVID-19 je bilo treba izvajanje fizičnih dejavnosti začasno prekiniti. Kljub temu je bilo v virtualni obliki organiziranih več dogodkov za ozaveščanje, in sicer:

RESOLUCIJA VARNOSTNEGA SVETA ZDRUŽENIH NARODOV 1540 IN ZMANJŠEVANJE KBRJ OGROŽENOSTI

| 58. | Resolucija Varnostnega sveta ZN 1540 (2004) ostaja osrednji temelj mednarodne ureditve neširjenja orožja. Je prvi mednarodni instrument, ki na enovit in celovit način obravnava orožje za množično uničevanje, njegove nosilce in pripadajoče materiale. RVSZN 1540 (2004) določa zavezujoče obveznosti za vse države. Njihov cilj je nedržavnim akterjem preprečiti dostop do takšnega orožja in njegovih nosilcev ter z njim povezanih materialov in jih od tega odvračati. Resolucija je bila sprejeta na podlagi poglavja VII Ustanovne listine Združenih narodov in od vseh držav zahteva, naj sprejmejo potrebno zakonodajo, da nedržavni akterji ne bi prišli do jedrskega, kemičnega ali biološkega orožja, in naj vzpostavijo ustrezen notranji nadzor nad materiali, povezanimi s takšnim orožjem, da se prepreči nedovoljena trgovina z njimi. Celovit proces pregleda RVSZN 1540 v letu 2016 je ponovno potrdil središčnost, pomen in avtoriteto resolucije, kot je potrjeno v RVSZN 2325. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | Da bi prispevali k uresničevanju rezultatov celovitega pregleda iz leta 2016 in podprli dosledno izvajanje RVSZN 1540, je Svet 11. maja 2017 sprejel Sklep Sveta (SZVP) 2017/809 v podporo pri izvajanju Resolucije Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov 1540 (2004) o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in njegovih nosilcev (20). Ta sklep Sveta zajema obdobje 48 mesecev, izvaja pa ga UNODA v New Yorku, ki je nekaj nalog v zvezi s tem prenesel na OVSE na Dunaju. EU s svojimi finančnimi sredstvi podpira države pri določanju potrebne konkretne tehnične pomoči, ozavešča o ustreznih programih tehnične pomoči ter krepi sodelovanje z mednarodnimi in regionalnimi organizacijami v podporo razvoju nacionalnih zmogljivosti. |

59.

| 60. | Skupno raziskovalno središče Evropske komisije (JRC) je predsedniku Odbora 1540 uradno poslalo izvod strateškega trgovinskega atlasa, ki sta ga skupaj pripravila JRC in Nacionalni laboratorij Argonne v okviru Ministrstva za energijo ZDA. Strateški trgovinski atlas je bil oblikovan za spodbujanje razumevanja svetovnih trgovinskih tokov strateškega blaga, tj. blaga vojaške strateške vrednosti, vključno z blagom z dvojno rabo. Atlas je objavljen v dveh zvezkih in vsebuje mnenja o strateški trgovini po državah (21) in primarnih proizvodih (22). Strateški trgovinski atlas med drugim uporablja Svetovna carinska organizacija. Zato se je zdel zanimiv za skupino strokovnjakov Odbora 1540. |

| 61. | Pobuda EU za centre odličnosti za zmanjševanje KBRJ ogroženosti (pobuda EU CBRN CoE) je bila leta 2010 oblikovana kot svetovni program za razvoj zmogljivosti za zmanjševanje namerno povzročenih, nenamerno nastalih ali naravnih tveganj v zvezi s kemičnimi, biološkimi, radiološkimi in jedrskimi snovmi ali dejavniki ter tveganj za z njimi povezane objekte ali območja. Pobuda EU CBRN CoE trenutno povezuje 62 partnerskih držav, združenih v osem regionalnih sekretariatov v naslednjih regijah: afriška atlantska obala, Srednja Azija, Vzhodna in Srednja Afrika, države Sveta za sodelovanje v Zalivu, Bližnji vzhod, Severna Afrika in Sahel, Jugovzhodna Azija ter Jugovzhodna in Vzhodna Evropa. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | Pobuda EU CBRN CoE se je financirala v okviru Instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru, ki je prenehal veljati leta 2020, nadomestil pa ga bo Instrument za sosedstvo ter razvojno in mednarodno sodelovanje za obdobje 2021–2027. Glede na poročilo Evropskega računskega sodišča iz leta 2018 (Posebno poročilo ERS št. 14/2018) je bil v okviru pobude EU CBRN CoE dosežen napredek pri blaženju tveganj, povezanih s kemičnimi, biološkimi, radiološkimi in jedrskimi snovmi, in sicer z izboljšanjem sodelovanja na nacionalni in regionalni ravni ter razvijanjem kulture varnosti in sodelovanja. Sodelujočim državam se zagotavlja podpora pri njihovih prizadevanjih, da bi prostovoljno in po regionalnem pristopu, ki temelji na povpraševanju, vzpostavile usklajevalne in upravljalne strukture na nacionalni in regionalni ravni. V okviru teh platform se na podlagi konkretnih potreb, ocen tveganja in nacionalnih akcijskih načrtov oblikujejo in krepijo nacionalne KBRJ politike in razvijajo zmogljivosti. Podpira jih več regionalnih projektov sodelovanja, financiranih v okviru pobude, vendar ostajajo odprte tudi za financiranje iz drugih instrumentov. Od leta 2010 je bilo financiranih 85 regionalnih projektov. Proračun pobude za desetletno obdobje, ki se je začelo leta 2010, znaša okoli 250 milijonov EUR. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Mreža centrov odličnosti je zdaj dobro razvita. Poleg tega se je med pandemijo COVID-19 izkazalo, da je zanesljiva in trajnostna, ko je več regionalnih sekretariatov začelo vrsto spletnih seminarjev za izmenjavo strokovnega znanja ter izmenjavo izkušenj in najboljših praks za obvladovanje epidemij. S pomočjo ad hoc podpore je več držav vzpostavilo ustrezne postopke za odkrivanje prvih primerov okužbe. Z dolgoročno pomočjo s posebnim poudarkom na Afriki se bo še naprej povečevala zmogljivost za zgodnje odkrivanje in nadzor zelo nevarnih patogenov s pristopom „eno zdravje“. V različnih regijah se razvijajo regionalni akcijski načrti na področju KBRJ, obenem pa tudi medregionalno sodelovanje. Pobuda je poleg tega dovolj napredovala, da omogoča nadaljnje ukrepe za reševanje vprašanj s področja upravljanja varnosti, povezanih s kibernetsko kriminaliteto, terorizmom, kritično infrastrukturo, ponarejenimi zdravili, hibridnimi grožnjami in eksplozivi, ter da nadalje razvija sodelovanje na področjih jedrske forenzike, mejnih kontrol in nadzora izvoza blaga z dvojno rabo. Skupno raziskovalno središče EU je leta 2020 v okviru mreže centrov odličnosti EU za zmanjševanje KBRJ ogroženosti ter v sodelovanju z ministrstvom ZDA za energijo in Inštitutom za jedrske raziskave iz Kijeva za udeležence iz Gruzije, Ukrajine, Azerbajdžana in Republike Moldavije pripravilo izobraževanje in usposabljanje o jedrski varnosti, da bi se izboljšala jedrska varnost v črnomorski regiji, ter podprlo izvajanje treh projektov s področja jedrske varnosti v državah GUAM (Gruziji, Ukrajini, Azerbajdžanu in Republiki Moldaviji). V Ukrajini in Republiki Moldaviji so bile izvedene teoretične in terenske vaje na podlagi scenarijev tihotapljenja jedrskega materiala. Na Kijevskem inštitutu za jedrske raziskave in Harkovskem inštitutu za fiziko in tehnologijo je bilo organizirano usposabljanje mladih strokovnjakov za jedrsko varnost. Poleg tega je bil vzpostavljen regionalni informacijski sistem za jedrsko forenziko. Za vzdrževanje zmogljivosti jedrske forenzike v črnomorski regiji so stekli trije nadaljevalni projekti za države GUAM, ki naj bi se začeli izvajati leta 2021, upravljal pa bi jih Center za znanost in tehnologijo v Ukrajini. Poleg tega je bil pripravljen projekt za krepitev zmogljivosti na področju jedrske forenzike, ki ga v Gruziji in Armeniji upravlja Mednarodni center za znanost in tehnologijo (ISTC); ta projekt se bo prav tako začel leta 2021. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | Kar zadeva notranje vidike zmanjševanja KBRJ groženj, je bilo izvajanje Akcijskega načrta za okrepitev pripravljenosti na kemična, biološka, radiološka in jedrska varnostna tveganja, ki ga je Komisija predstavila oktobra 2017 kot del širšega svežnja ukrepov za boj proti terorizmu, pregledano proti koncu leta 2019, dokument pa še vedno velja za veljavni okvir politike na področju KBRJ. Agenda za boj proti terorizmu iz leta 2020 je okrepila nekatere vidike KBRJ, in sicer v zvezi z nevarnostjo kemičnih snovi in v zvezi z biološko varnostjo. Kar zadeva prvo, Komisija trenutno preučuje izvedljivost omejitve dostopa do nekaterih kemikalij, ki se lahko uporabljajo za zlonamerne namene. Delo v zvezi z odkrivanjem KBRJ snovi – vključno s preskusi opreme, ki jih usklajuje Komisija in so jih izvedle nekatere države članice – je napredovalo v skladu z načrti. Vendar je bilo treba nekatere dejavnosti na področju KBRJ, ki so se začele leta 2019, leta 2020 ustaviti; zlasti kampanjo usposabljanja organov kazenskega pregona EU na temo radioloških groženj, ki se je izvajala v centru za usposabljanje EUSECTRA v Karlsruheju v Nemčiji. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Izvajanje akcijskega načrta se podpira s projekti, ki so sofinancirani iz Sklada za notranjo varnost – policija. Med izbranimi pobudami sta bili dve posebej pomembni za politiko na področju KBRJ. Cilj ene od njih (Mall-CBRN) je izboljšati zaščito in pripravljenost na področju KBRJ v velikih nakupovalnih središčih, medtem ko se v okviru druge (Safe Stadium) podoben pristop uporablja za velika športna prizorišča, zlasti nogometne stadione. Ena od prednosti obeh pobud je prisotnost zadevnih končnih uporabnikov v konzorcijih, npr. nogometnega kluba Real Madrid. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | Akcijski načrt EU za KBRJ je znanstveno in tehnično podprt z vrsto raziskovalnih projektov, ki so financirani iz programa za varno družbo v okviru sedmega okvirnega programa. Raziskave zajemajo celoten cikel kriznega upravljanja – od preprečevanja do obnove. Na podlagi dejavnosti za določitev potrebnih standardov bi se lahko oblikovali „evropski normativni“ standardi. S programom Obzorje 2020 se bo na podlagi ciljno usmerjenih tem še izboljšalo sedanje delo na področju raziskav, povezanih s KBRJ. |

MOŽGANSKI TRUSTI

| 67. | Izvajanje strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje je na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2010/430/SZVP (23) z dne 26. julija 2010 dejavno podprl Konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje, ki je začel delovati januarja 2011. Svet je 26. februarja 2018 sprejel Sklep (SZVP) 2018/299 (24), v katerem je na podlagi dosedanjih dosežkov in z uvedbo novih projektov dodatno razširil podporo EU dejavnostim konzorcija za obdobje 2018–2021. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Konzorcij je s svojimi dejavnostmi izboljšal prepoznavnost EU v tretjih državah in civilni družbi, bistveno pa je prispeval tudi k oblikovanju politike EU na področju neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja. Konzorcij zagotavlja platformo za neformalne stike med praktiki ter spodbuja dialog med različnimi deležniki. S svojimi dejavnostmi je prispeval k boljši ozaveščenosti o izzivih, ki ju predstavljata orožje za množično uničevanje in konvencionalno orožje, in iskanju rešitev za obvladovanje teh izzivov. Opira se na široko mrežo 99 možganskih trustov in raziskovalnih centrov po vsej Evropi, v katerih sodelujejo člani iz vseh držav članic EU, pa tudi partnerskih držav, kot so Švica, Turčija in Ukrajina. Leta 2020 se je mreži pridružilo 9 inštitutov. |

68.

| 69. | Na vseh dogodkih, ki jih je organiziral konzorcij, je bila zagotovljena raznolikost udeležencev in govornikov, in sicer z vidika spola, starosti, strokovnega znanja in geografske zastopanosti. Zaradi razmer, ki jih je povzročila pandemija COVID-19, so leta 2020 ti dogodki potekali v virtualni obliki. Konzorcij je v letu 2020 organiziral naslednje dejavnosti za izvajanje Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2018/299:

NADZOR IZVOZA

| 71. | Delovna skupina Sveta za izvoz konvencionalnega orožja (COARM) je leta 2020 začela delo v zvezi z uresničevanjem konkretnih ciljev iz sklepov Sveta o pregledu Skupnega stališča 2008/944/SZVP (26) o nadzoru nad izvozom orožja (27). Po dogovoru v delovni skupini COARM je Evropska služba za zunanje delovanje oktobra na svoji spletni strani predstavila spletno zbirko podatkov, ki javnosti omogoča, da na uporabniku prijazen način preveri in analizira podatke o izvozu orožja iz držav članic. Ta zbirka podatkov je bila na splošno dobro sprejeta, saj bo pripomogla k znatnemu povečanju preglednosti pri izvozu orožja. Zbirka podatkov vsebuje informacije o vrednosti, namembnemu kraju in vrsti izvoznega dovoljenja za orožje ter informacije o dejanskem izvozu iz držav članic; posodabljala se bo vsako leto. Delovna skupina COARM je poleg tega pripravila sklep Sveta o dovoljenjih za končne uporabnike za izvoz osebnega in lahkega orožja ter pripadajočega streliva. Ta sklep je bil sprejet januarja 2021 in prispeva k nadaljnjemu zbliževanju politik držav članic na področju izvoza orožja. Delovna skupina COARM je še naprej ozaveščala različne deležnike, vključno z organizacijami civilne družbe, Mednarodnim odborom Rdečega križa in predstavniki evropske obrambne industrije, ter bila z njimi v rednem dialogu. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | EU je nadaljevala tudi dejavnosti ozaveščanja, da bi tretjim državam pomagala pri vzpostavljanju sistema za nadzor izvoza orožja in spodbudila vsesplošno uporabo PTO. Na podlagi Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2018/101 (28) z dne 22. januarja 2018 in njegovega naslednika Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2020/1464 z dne 12. oktobra 2020 o spodbujanju učinkovitega nadzora nad izvozom orožja (29), ki ga izvaja Nemški zvezni urad za gospodarske zadeve in nadzor izvoza (BAFA), je bilo organiziranih več delavnic in individualnih dogodkov za pomoč, zaradi pandemije večinoma v virtualni obliki. Poleg tega so na podlagi Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2017/915 (30), ki ga izvajata BAFA in Expertise France, potekale še druge regionalne dejavnosti ozaveščanja, posebej prilagojeni nacionalni programi pomoči in priložnostne delavnice za individualno pomoč v podporo učinkovitemu izvajanju in vsesplošni uporabi Pogodbe o trgovini z orožjem. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Srečanja v okviru političnega dialoga o vprašanjih s področja nadzora nad izvozom orožja so bila leta 2020 izvedena z Norveško in Združenimi državami Amerike. Ti sestanki so bila priložnost za tvorne razprave o zadevah vzajemnega interesa, kot so politike izvoza v določene namembne države, vprašanja skladnosti in nadzora ter uveljavljanje Pogodbe o trgovini z orožjem. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | EU je tudi v letu 2020 z rednim posodabljanjem svojih predpisov sledila spremembam pri večstranskih režimih za nadzor izvoza. Zato je Evropska komisija 7. oktobra 2020 sprejela Delegirano uredbo (EU) 2020/1749 (31), s katero se kontrolni seznam EU za blago z dvojno rabo posodablja v skladu z odločitvami, sprejetimi v okviru večstranskih režimov za nadzor izvoza v letu 2019, in uvedla nove vrste nadzora, npr. kar zadeva programsko opremo za spremljanje kazenskega pregona in orodja za digitalno forenziko. S posodobitvijo kontrolnega seznama EU je bil leta 2020 uveden tudi nadzor nad 24 dodatnimi kemikalijami, vključno s predhodnimi sestavinami za živčni strup novičok, v skladu z dogovorom, doseženim na vmesnem zasedanju Avstralske skupine februarja 2020, in z namenom preprečevanja trgovine s predhodnimi sestavinami kemičnega orožja. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | Usklajevalna skupina za blago z dvojno rabo je še naprej prispevala k učinkovitemu in doslednemu izvajanju nadzora izvoza v EU. Leta 2020 je bil „elektronski sistem za dvojno rabo“ nadgrajen z novimi funkcijami, da bi sistem prilagodili glede na regulativne spremembe, kot so kontrolni seznam, posodobljen leta 2019, in varovana elektronska posvetovanja med pristojnimi organi. Zaradi brexita je bila uvedena nova funkcija za podporo izmenjave informacij s pristojnim organom Združenega kraljestva v skladu s Protokolom za Severno Irsko. EU je poleg tega nadaljevala delo v zvezi z razvojem „platforme za elektronsko izdajanje dovoljenj“, ki bi jo države članice uporabljale prostovoljno, v okviru pobude za enotno okence pa začela delo za vključitev elektronskih sistemov za izdajanje dovoljenj za blago z dvojno rabo v carinske elektronske sisteme. Za zagotovitev preglednosti pri nadzoru izvoza in izdajanju dovoljenj je bilo objavljeno letno poročilo o nadzoru izvoza (32), 11. decembra 2020 pa je bil organiziran forum o nadzoru izvoza, na katerem so se srečali deležniki iz držav članic, industrije in civilne družbe (33). |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | Pri pregledu politike EU na področju nadzora izvoza je bil dosežen bistven napredek. Svet in Evropski parlament sta dosegla dogovor o posodobitvi nadzora EU nad izvozom. Celovite spremembe, ki so bile opravljene za večjo učinkovitost in uspešnost nadzora, vključujejo posodobljene opredelitve in kontrolne parametre, harmonizacijo, poenostavitev in digitalizacijo izdajanja dovoljenj, povečano izmenjavo informacij in sodelovanje s tretjimi državami. Z novo uredbo se bo izboljšala učinkovitost obstoječega sistema EU za nadzor izvoza, in sicer na podlagi uvedbe nove razsežnosti „človekove varnosti“, da bi se EU lahko odzvala na izzive, ki jih prinašajo nastajajoče tehnologije z dvojno rabo – zlasti tehnologije za kibernetski nadzor –, ki ogrožajo nacionalno in mednarodno varnost, vključno z varstvom človekovih pravic. Nova uredba bo uradno sprejeta in začela veljati leta 2021. Pandemija je močno prizadela dejavnosti večstranskih režimov za nadzor izvoza; plenarna zasedanja je bilo treba odpovedati, delovne skupine pa so prek virtualnih sej z nekaterimi dejavnostmi kljub temu lahko nadaljevale. Vsekakor je EU sodelovala na vmesnem zasedanju Avstralske skupine v Bratislavi (5.–7. februar 2020) . |

77.

| 78. | Nadaljevalo se je intenzivno usklajevanje P2P programa EU za nadzor izvoza s programom za nadzor izvoza in varnost na mejah, ki ga vodi ministrstvo ZDA za zunanje zadeve. EU in ZDA so organizirale skupne seminarje za izmenjavo informacij o metodologijah za oceno ogroženosti, opredelitev skupnih kazalnikov učinka in usklajevanje pomoči na terenu. Služba za instrumente zunaje politike (FPI) in Skupno raziskovalno središče (JRC) sta za partnerske države P2P programa EU za nadzor izvoza od 17. do 21. avgusta 2020 v virtualni obliki organizirala šesto poletno šolo o strateškem nadzoru trgovine. Portal EU P2P, ki je bil prenesen v uradno spletno okolje Evropske unije (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en), je bil v letu 2020 še dodatno izboljšan. Tudi v prihodnje se bo uporabljal kot platforma za vse programe EU za ozaveščanje o nadzoru izvoza vojaškega blaga in blaga z dvojno rabo s ciljem prilagajanja izmenjave informacij s partnerskimi državami EU. Program se financira iz Instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru. |

| 81. | Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCR) je neformalna in prostovoljna povezava držav, ki imajo iste cilje glede neširjenja avtomatskih izstrelitvenih sistemov brez posadke, ki lahko nosijo orožje za množično uničevanje, in ki si prizadevajo uskladiti nacionalna prizadevanja v zvezi z izdajanjem izvoznih dovoljenj, s katerimi želijo preprečiti širjenja takšnega orožja. Vlade, ki sodelujejo pri MTCR, so se zavezale, da bodo spoštovale skupne smernice glede izvozne politike (Smernice MTCR), ki se uporabljajo za celoten skupni seznam nadzorovanega blaga (Priloga MTCR o opremi, programski opremi in tehnologiji). Partnerji pri MTCR redno izmenjujejo informacije o zadevnih nacionalnih vprašanjih v zvezi z izdajanjem izvoznih dovoljenj. Smernice in kontrolni seznami, pripravljeni v okviru MTCR, predstavljajo mednarodno merilo za najboljše prakse pri nadzoru izvoza predmetov in tehnologij, povezanih z raketami. |

81.

| 82. | Ključno vprašanje za EU v okviru MTCR ostaja blokiran pristop k režimu za devet držav članic EU, in sicer za Hrvaško, Ciper, Estonijo, Latvijo, Litvo, Malto, Romunijo, Slovaško in Slovenijo. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | Kontinuiteta in predvidljivost pri predsedovanju režimom za nadzor izvoza, kot je MTCR, je ključnega pomena za delovanje in verodostojnost teh režimov. Države članice EU, ki so članice MTCR, so za plenarno zasedanje predložile neuradni dokument o vprašanjih, povezanih s predsedovanjem, v katerem so ugotavljale, kako bi lahko spodbudili in podprli trajnostno predsedovanje režimu. EU bo s članicami še naprej razpravljala o različnih možnostih. EU je v okviru režima vedno podpirala sprejetje odločnih izjav za javnost, ki bi odražale zaskrbljenost mednarodne skupnosti zaradi izstrelitev balističnih raket pomembnega razvoja raketne tehnologije v Iranu in DLRK. |

VESOLJE

| 84. | EU in njene države članice so se še naprej zavzemale za ohranjanje varnega, zaščitenega in trajnostnega vesoljskega okolja ter miroljubno rabo vesolja na pravični in za vse strani sprejemljivi podlagi. Še naprej smo poudarjali, da so potrebni ukrepi za izboljšanje preglednosti in krepitev zaupanja ter da se je treba v okviru Združenih narodov zavzemati za odgovorno ravnanje v vesolju. V tem smislu je EU na Generalni skupščini ZN dala izjave v zvezi z vesoljem. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | EU in njene države članice so se še naprej odločno zavzemale za preprečevanje oboroževalne tekme v vesolju, ki je bistvenega pomena za krepitev mednarodne varnosti in stabilnosti ter za zagotavljanje dolgoročne rabe vesoljskega okolja v miroljubne namene. Še naprej smo izražali zaskrbljenost glede razvoja vsega protisatelitskega orožja in zmogljivosti, vključno z zemeljskimi, ter poudarili, kako pomembno je, da se tak razvoj obravnava hitro in v okviru mednarodnih prizadevanj za preprečevanje oboroževalne tekme v vesolju. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | EU in njene države članice so ponovno izrazile zadovoljstvo ob sprejetju preambule in 21 smernic za dolgoročno vzdržnost dejavnosti v vesolju, ki jih je sprejel Odbor za miroljubno rabo vesolja, leta 2019 pa so bili potrjeni z resolucijo Generalne skupščine ZN (34). Te smernice pomembno dopolnjujejo ukrepe za povečanje preglednosti in krepitev zaupanja v vesolju (35). |
| --- | --- |

86.

| 87. | EU in njene države članice so pozdravile sprejetje nove resolucije o zmanjševanju groženj z odgovornim ravnanjem (36) kot pravočasen korak k zmanjšanju groženj in tveganj, povezanih z vesoljem, in spodbujanju odgovornega ravnanja v vesolju, zlasti v okviru Združenih narodov. Ob tem so pozvale vse države, naj konstruktivno sodelujejo pri doseganju skupnega razumevanja odgovornega ravnanja v vesolju, h kateremu bo skupaj prispevala tudi EU. |

KLAVZULE O NEŠIRJENJU OROŽJA ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE

| 88. | EU si je v skladu s svojo politiko proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in v skladu s sklepi Sveta iz leta 2003 še naprej prizadevala za vključitev zavez o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v sporazume s partnerskimi državami. Leta 2020 so v ta namen potekala tudi pogajanja z Združenim kraljestvom v okviru priprav na brexit in prihodnje odnose med EU in Združenim kraljestvom. V skladu s skupnim sklepom EU in Kube o začasni uporabi nekaterih delov novega sporazuma med EU in Kubo je marca 2019 v Bruslju prvič potekal dialog o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje, ki temelji na klavzuli o orožju za množično uničevanje iz novega sporazuma, drugi dialog pa je v virtualni obliki potekal septembra 2020. |
