Relatório Intercalar Anual sobre a execução da Estratégia da União Europeia contra a proliferação de armas de destruição maciça (2020)

(2021/C 298/01)

INTRODUÇÃO

| 1. | O presente relatório intercalar sobre a execução da Estratégia da União Europeia contra a Proliferação de Armas de Destruição Maciça (ADM), adotada pelo Conselho Europeu em dezembro de 2003 (doc. 15708/03), abrange as atividades desenvolvidas em 2020. O relatório não é exaustivo, concentrando-se nos principais acontecimentos. Todas as atividades foram levadas a cabo no contexto mais alargado da política da UE em matéria de segurança e da Estratégia da UE para a União da Segurança para o período 2020-2025. |

1.

| 2. | 2020 foi um ano sem precedentes em que a pandemia de COVID-19 teve um impacto significativo no trabalho multilateral, sobretudo devido às restrições de viagem. Embora várias reuniões multilaterais, em especial a 10.a Conferência de Análise do Tratado de Não Proliferação de Armas Nucleares (TNP), tenham sido adiadas, muitas outras reuniões puderam ser organizadas em linha. Foi, assim, possível prosseguir os debates multilaterais, reconhecendo simultaneamente as limitações das interações por videoconferência. Uma vez que a maior parte do trabalho da UE sobre ADM é realizado em fóruns multilaterais, esta situação despoletou novos desafios. |

QUESTÕES EM MATÉRIA NUCLEAR

| 6. | A UE continua plenamente empenhada em promover a universalização e a aplicação integral, completa e efetiva do Tratado de Não Proliferação das Armas Nucleares (TNP), a entrada em vigor e a universalização do Tratado de Proibição Total de Ensaios Nucleares (TPTE) e o início e a conclusão a breve trecho das negociações de um Tratado de Proibição da Produção de Material Cindível para Armas Nucleares e Outros Engenhos Explosivos Nucleares levadas a cabo na Conferência do Desarmamento. A criação de uma zona livre de armas de destruição maciça e respetivos vetores no Médio Oriente também continua a ser uma prioridade para a UE. Em 2020, a UE manteve as contribuições prestadas, ao abrigo da Decisão (PESC) 2019/938 do Conselho (1), a favor do UNIDIR para apoiar medidas geradoras de confiança conducentes à criação dessa zona. |

Tratado de Não Proliferação das Armas Nucleares e Agência Internacional da Energia Atómica

| 7. | O ciclo de revisão do TNP deveria ter sido concluído em abril/maio de 2020, durante a 10.a Conferência de Análise do TNP. Devido às condições sanitárias mundiais e às consequentes restrições de viagem, em março de 2020 os Estados Partes concordaram em adiar a Conferência de Análise para janeiro de 2021. Posteriormente, a Conferência de Análise foi novamente adiada, a título provisório, para agosto de 2021. A UE contribuiu para todos os debates pertinentes, organizados tanto em formato virtual como presencial, nomeadamente para o debate geral na 75.a sessão da Primeira Comissão da Assembleia Geral da ONU para o Desarmamento e a Segurança Internacional. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | A Decisão (PESC) 2019/615 do Conselho (2) continuou a ser posta em prática em 2020, tendo sido realizadas duas atividades pelo Gabinete das Nações Unidas para os Assuntos de Desarmamento (GNUAD): o seminário temático sobre o Pilar I (desarmamento nuclear), realizado em Genebra (29-30 de janeiro), e o seminário temático sobre o Pilar II (não proliferação de armas nucleares), realizado em Nova Iorque (2-3 de março). O objetivo primordial da decisão do Conselho é contribuir para o êxito da Conferência de Análise do TNP e o desenvolvimento de um conjunto realista e exequível de ações e recomendações que possam reunir consenso. As outras duas reuniões regionais, que incidiriam sobre os três pilares do TNP em termos de prioridades e preocupações regionais, não puderam ser organizadas. A Decisão (PESC) 2019/615 do Conselho, relativa ao apoio da União às atividades que antecedem a Conferência de Análise, foi prorrogada em junho de 2020, sem custos, até 16 de abril de 2021, através da Decisão (PESC) 2020/906 do Conselho (3). |

| 9. | A UE continuou a apoiar as responsabilidades essenciais da Agência Internacional da Energia Atómica (AIEA) em matéria de não proliferação, segurança e proteção nucleares, aplicações da energia nuclear e cooperação técnica, inclusive através de apoio financeiro relevante. A UE e a Euratom participaram ativamente em todas as reuniões dos órgãos diretivos da AIEA, tendo a UE assegurado a coordenação em Viena. Na 64.a Conferência Geral da AIEA, realizada em setembro de 2020, foram adotadas por consenso duas resoluções patrocinadas pela UE, uma sobre salvaguardas nucleares e outra sobre segurança nuclear. |

11.

| 12. | O JRC e a AIEA continuaram a aplicar as «Modalidades práticas de cooperação sobre aplicações de ciência nuclear», documento assinado à margem da 5.a reunião de altos-funcionários da UE-AIEA (15 de fevereiro de 2017) que visa desenvolver atividades conjuntas e evitar duplicações de esforços. Uma das atividades incluídas nessas modalidades práticas é a monitorização ambiental da radioatividade, medida em toda a Europa e numa série de outros locais do mundo sob a forma de taxa de exposição média e máxima aos raios gama durante as últimas 24 horas. Estas medições provêm de cerca de 5 500 sítios de monitorização operados pelas autoridades nacionais competentes em 39 países, que comunicam os valores radiológicos mais recentes à Plataforma de Intercâmbio de Dados Radiológicos da União Europeia (EURDEP). A notificação de um acidente ou de uma emergência radiológicos é feita através de redes de notificação rápida, como as redes ECURIE ou EMERCON, operadas pela Comissão Europeia e pela AIEA, respetivamente, após consulta às autoridades nacionais competentes. |

| 13. | plano de ação conjunto global (PACG) é um elemento essencial da arquitetura mundial de não proliferação nuclear e uma conquista da diplomacia multilateral. Dar plena execução ao acordo é essencial para a segurança europeia. A UE tem lamentado várias vezes o facto de o Irão se ter retratado de alguns dos compromissos assumidos no domínio nuclear no âmbito do PACG, posição que adotou em julho de 2019 e prosseguiu ao longo de 2020. O alto-representante da UE, na qualidade de coordenador da Comissão Conjunta do PACG, continua plenamente empenhado em trabalhar com a comunidade internacional no sentido de preservar o PACG e assegurar a sua execução plena. Congratulámo-nos com a perspetiva de regresso dos EUA ao PACG e de regresso do Irão à sua plena execução e apoiamos os intensos esforços diplomáticos que têm sido envidados e os contactos estabelecidos pelo alto-representante da UE com todos os parceiros envolvidos. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Ao mesmo tempo, a UE continua também a contribuir para a execução do PACG, assegurando a coordenação da Comissão Conjunta e dos grupos de trabalho a nível de peritos, criados no âmbito do PACG. Continua também a apoiar a missão de longo prazo da AIEA encarregada de verificar se o Irão honra os compromissos assumidos no domínio nuclear e de acompanhar o modo como o faz. Apesar das restrições relacionadas com a COVID, a UE continua a cooperar com o Irão no domínio nuclear civil ao abrigo do anexo III do PACG em matéria de segurança nuclear. O canal de aquisições do PACG, que analisa as transferências de produtos nucleares ou de produtos de dupla utilização para o Irão, continua plenamente operacional. Em 2020, o Grupo das Aquisições reuniu-se sete vezes, tendo-se conseguido inverter a tendência negativa das propostas observada em 2019. O Irão continua a ser o principal beneficiário da UE no domínio da segurança nuclear. A cooperação nuclear civil entre a UE e o Irão passa pelo apoio à modernização do reator de investigação de Arak (Khondab), à entidade reguladora iraniana em matéria de segurança nuclear (INRA), às atividades de verificação e acompanhamento levadas a cabo pela AIEA no Irão, aos testes de resistência da central nuclear de Bushehr e ao fornecimento de equipamento ao Centro de Segurança Nuclear da INRA no Irão. |

14.

| 15. | Os acordos de salvaguardas generalizadas, bem como os protocolos adicionais, constituem o atual padrão de verificação e a UE continua a apelar à adesão universal a tais acordos e protocolos. A estreita cooperação estabelecida entre a EURATOM e a AIEA permite que haja salvaguardas eficazes e eficientes. A UE apoia ativamente o sistema de salvaguardas da AIEA através do Programa da Comissão Europeia de Apoio às Salvaguardas, do Instrumento para a Cooperação no domínio da Segurança Nuclear e de programas de apoio dos Estados-Membros. O Programa da Comissão Europeia de Apoio às Salvaguardas tinha já anteriormente reforçado as capacidades das salvaguardas nucleares da AIEA, nomeadamente as capacidades de verificação da execução do PACG, ministrando aos inspetores das salvaguardas da AIEA formação em acesso complementar ao COMPUCEA (processo combinado de ensaio de concentração e enriquecimento de urânio) e seu funcionamento para efeitos de verificação do enriquecimento do UF6, bem como aos respetivos materiais de referência. O Programa da Comissão Europeia de Apoio às Salvaguardas apoia a rede de laboratórios de análise da AIEA nos seus mandatos de verificação da execução do PACG, através de serviços de análise, métodos normalizados e ferramentas de controlo da qualidade. Em especial, a análise de partículas e a produção e certificação de partículas de referência ajudam a rede de laboratórios de análise da AIEA a desenvolver, no âmbito do protocolo adicional, novos métodos e protocolos de medição para análise de amostras ambientais obtidas por esfregaço. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | A Comissão Europeia continua a apoiar ativamente e a assegurar o funcionamento da Associação Europeia de Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Salvaguardas (ESARDA), que prossegue igualmente o seu trabalho de sensibilização a nível internacional através da celebração de memorandos de entendimento com a Comissão Africana de Energia Nuclear e a Rede de Salvaguardas da Ásia-Pacífico, em estreita colaboração com o Instituto de Gestão de Materiais Nucleares. Os grupos de trabalho da ESARDA desenvolvem, testam e validam abordagens inovadoras em termos de salvaguardas e não proliferação, de que beneficiam diretamente a Direção das Salvaguardas Nucleares da DG ENER e o Departamento de Salvaguardas da Agência Internacional da Energia Atómica. Apesar das restrições relacionadas com a COVID, realizaram-se ações de formação técnica à distância em enriquecimento de urânio, verificações da composição do isótopo plutónio e mapeamento por laser para fins de verificação de confinamento (LMCV) dirigidas aos inspetores da EURATOM. Antes da pandemia, realizou-se também uma ação de formação em contagem de neutrões. No entanto, o habitual curso da ESARDA sobre salvaguardas nucleares e não proliferação foi cancelado em 2020 e foram preparados cenários mais desenvolvidos para a edição de 2021 do curso (12-16 de abril de 2021). Os resultados colhidos da investigação e desenvolvimento e das iniciativas de ensino e formação reforçam as capacidades europeias e internacionais em matéria de salvaguardas nucleares e controlo comercial estratégico. Os frutos deste trabalho contribuíram também para o lançamento de iniciativas no domínio da segurança nuclear e do desarmamento nuclear. O JRC da CE adquiriu experiência em formação técnica à distância de inspetores das salvaguardas que foi partilhada com a AIEA através de reuniões trilaterais (AIEA, EURATOM e JRC). A tradicional reunião de maio da ESARDA, no Luxemburgo, foi adiada para novembro de 2020 e coorganizada pelo IRSN em formato virtual, tendo contado com um total de 270 participantes. A ESARDA prepara agora a primeira reunião anual conjunta com o Instituto de Gestão de Materiais Nucleares, estando a sua realização prevista para o final de agosto de 2021 em formato virtual. |

16.

| 17. | A Comissão Europeia financiou um grande projeto de formação e educação no domínio das salvaguardas nucleares juntamente com a Rede Europeia para o Ensino Nuclear (ENEN). Ao abrigo deste contrato, a ENEN colabora com o Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), o JRC, a ESARDA e a AIEA no intuito de criar o primeiro programa académico de pós-graduação em salvaguardas nucleares no ano académico de 2021/2022. Está em curso uma campanha específica de recrutamento de estudantes de fora da Europa, tendo sido selecionado um número máximo de 35 professores especializados para ministrar o curso. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | Por proposta do Serviço Europeu para a Ação Externa (SEAE), o Conselho decidiu, em 2020, contribuir para a universalização de elementos do sistema de salvaguardas da AIEA, com especial destaque para o protocolo alterado sobre pequenas quantidades (PPQ) e o protocolo adicional, através de uma série de diligências a efetuar em países terceiros (6). Essas diligências começaram a ser levadas a efeito em dezembro de 2020. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros atribuem a maior importância a que a segurança nuclear se torne uma realidade a nível mundial e seja continuamente reforçada. A UE conferiu força jurídica aos objetivos da Declaração de Viena sobre Segurança Nuclear através da Diretiva Segurança Nuclear alterada, que entrou em vigor em 2017. Um dos elementos fundamentais da diretiva alterada é a introdução de um objetivo de segurança para todos os operadores, a fim de prevenir acidentes e evitar libertações radioativas importantes. A diretiva alterada acrescentou também análises temáticas pelos pares à legislação EURATOM. Foi concluída com êxito uma primeira análise temática pelos pares a nível europeu. Todos os Estados-Membros da UE transpuseram os novos requisitos para o seu direito nacional. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | Para fomentar a utilização pacífica da energia nuclear, a UE afetou 325 milhões de euros durante o período compreendido entre 2014 e 2020 a fim de promover a segurança nuclear, a proteção contra as radiações e a aplicação de salvaguardas eficientes e eficazes em países terceiros. Em colaboração com a AIEA e outros parceiros, a Comissão Europeia está a apoiar a execução do plano diretor estratégico para a reabilitação ambiental na Ásia Central, que será financiado pela conta de reabilitação ambiental específica gerida pelo BERD. Sendo o maior doador, a UE continua a estabelecer contactos com os países beneficiários (Quirguistão, Tajiquistão e Usbequistão) a fim de estimular a sua participação e lançar projetos concretos de limpeza e reabilitação. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros continuam a apoiar resolutamente o programa de cooperação técnica da AIEA, inclusive através de contribuições substanciais para o Fundo de Cooperação Técnica e a Iniciativa de Utilização Pacífica. A UE e os seus Estados-Membros contam-se entre os maiores contribuintes para o programa de cooperação técnica, que constitui um instrumento importante para permitir a utilização segura, protegida e pacífica da tecnologia nuclear e cumprir os objetivos da Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável. |
| --- | --- |

21.

| 22. | A UE e a AIEA realizam habitualmente uma reunião anual de altos-funcionários para analisar e planear a sua cooperação alargada. Apesar de não ter sido possível organizar a reunião anual de 2020 devido à pandemia, a UE e a AIEA mantiveram contactos estreitos através de outros canais. |

Tratado de Proibição Total de Ensaios Nucleares

| 23. | A entrada em vigor e a universalização do TPTE constituem objetivos importantes da Estratégia da UE contra a Proliferação de Armas de Destruição Maciça. Todos os Estados-Membros da UE demonstraram o seu empenho no Tratado, ratificando-o e aplicando as suas obrigações de base. O TPTE constitui uma medida de peso para reforçar a confiança e a segurança. Em 2020, a UE participou em atividades diplomáticas de apoio ao TPTE, adaptadas às oportunidades limitadas na sequência da pandemia. Promover a entrada em vigor do TPTE foi uma das ações relacionadas com o programa do secretário-geral das Nações Unidas «Assegurar o nosso futuro comum: um programa de desarmamento», que a UE decidiu apoiar. A UE tem apelado repetidamente à ratificação do Tratado em declarações proferidas noutras instâncias competentes, bem como nos contactos bilaterais estabelecidos com os países pertinentes constantes e não constantes do anexo II. Além disso, em 6 de outubro de 2020, o enviado especial para a Não Proliferação e o Desarmamento participou, enquanto membro do painel, no webinário «O TPTE e a 10.a Conferência de Análise do TNP», organizado pela OTPTE. |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | A UE promove sistematicamente os benefícios e contributos do Tratado para a paz, a segurança, o desarmamento e a não-proliferação, inclusive nas suas aplicações civis. Em 2020, o apoio financeiro da UE à Comissão Preparatória da Organização do TPTE (OTPTE) foi renovado por um novo período de três anos mediante a Decisão (PESC) 2020/901 do Conselho (7), relativa ao apoio da União às atividades da Comissão Preparatória da OTPTE a fim de reforçar as suas capacidades de vigilância e verificação. A UE e os seus Estados-Membros contribuíram também para a manutenção e o reforço do regime de verificação do TPTE prestando apoio técnico, desenvolvendo capacidades e facilitando a participação de peritos nas reuniões da OTPTE, especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento. A UE participou ativamente nas sessões da Comissão Preparatória da OTPTE, nos seus grupos de trabalho A e B, tendo a UE assegurado a coordenação no CONOP e em Viena. |

Iniciativas relacionadas com a segurança nuclear

| 25. | A UE apoiou a organização e os resultados da Conferência Internacional sobre Segurança Nuclear (ICONS 2020), realizada em fevereiro de 2020. Na declaração ministerial que se seguiu à conferência reitera-se o compromisso de manter e reforçar a segurança nuclear efetiva e generalizada de todos os materiais e instalações nucleares e de outros materiais radioativos e reconhece-se o papel central desempenhado pela AIEA ao facilitar e coordenar a cooperação internacional no domínio da segurança nuclear. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | A UE continuou a promover a Convenção Internacional para a Repressão dos Atos de Terrorismo Nuclear (ICSANT) e a alteração à Convenção sobre a Proteção Física dos Materiais Nucleares (ACPPNM) enquanto elementos principais da arquitetura mundial da segurança nuclear e da luta contra o terrorismo. O Gabinete das Nações Unidas contra a Droga e a Criminalidade (UNODC) e o Gabinete das Nações Unidas de Luta contra o Terrorismo (UNOCT) continuaram a aplicar a Decisão (PESC) 2018/1939 do Conselho, relativa ao apoio da União à universalização e à aplicação efetiva da ICSANT (8). A referida decisão do Conselho tem por objetivos aumentar o número de aderentes à ICSANT, chamar a atenção dos responsáveis políticos e decisores nacionais para a Convenção e reforçar capacidades, ajudando a aperfeiçoar a legislação nacional e desenvolvendo as competências das partes interessadas nacionais, incluindo os profissionais da justiça penal, para investigar, mover ação em justiça e julgar casos de terrorismo nuclear. Devido à pandemia, alguns dos eventos previstos para 2020 foram adiados ou, em alternativa, realizados com êxito em formato virtual. |
| --- | --- |

26.

| 27. | A UE continuou a apoiar a Iniciativa Mundial de Combate ao Terrorismo Nuclear (GICNT) e a sua missão de reforçar a capacidade mundial de prevenir, detetar e dar resposta ao terrorismo nuclear. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros participam ativamente no trabalho da GICNT em todos os domínios: deteção nuclear, investigação forense nuclear, resposta e atenuação. |

28.

| 29. | O Centro Europeu de Formação em Segurança Nuclear para a deteção e resposta a atos ilícitos que envolvam materiais nucleares e outros materiais radioativos (EUSECTRA) está a funcionar em pleno desde 2013, o que é muito positivo para os Estados-Membros da União Europeia e para os países parceiros, entre os quais vários membros da GICNT. O Centro é gerido pelo Centro Comum de Investigação (JRC) da Comissão Europeia nas suas instalações de Karlsruhe (Alemanha) e de Ispra (Itália), em estreita cooperação com outras iniciativas internacionais promovidas pela AIEA e por vários países parceiros da GICNT. O Centro é usado também para a prática de exercícios relacionados, sobretudo, com o combate ao contrabando nuclear. O EUSECTRA esforça-se por responder às necessidades de formação dos Estados-Membros e dos parceiros da UE, ministrando, nomeadamente, aos delegados dos Estados-Membros ações coordenadas de formação no domínio aduaneiro e da aplicação da lei já em prática ou programadas para o período de 2019-2021 (em colaboração direta com a DG HOME e a DG TAXUD da Comissão Europeia). O EUSECTRA reforça a infraestrutura utilizada para organizar a formação, desenvolve ferramentas de aprendizagem virtual e realiza avaliações do desempenho do equipamento, a pedido dos Estados-Membros. A pandemia limitou a formação em formato presencial. Com a ajuda de meios modernos, foi desenvolvida uma abordagem híbrida centrada em exercícios no terreno com utilização remota de instrumentos e utilização real de materiais nucleares e radioativos, a fim de apoiar os esforços de luta contra as ameaças químicas, biológicas, radiológicas e nucleares (QBRN) e o terrorismo nuclear. |

31.

| 32. | A Comissão Europeia continuou a reforçar a capacidade dos Estados-Membros da UE para testar e avaliar o desempenho do equipamento utilizado na deteção do tráfico ilícito de materiais nucleares e radioativos através da segunda fase do seu programa ITRAP+10, que conduzirá a uma maior harmonização e normalização e contribuirá substancialmente para que se respeitem as normas internacionais. Para o efeito, durante a Conferência Internacional sobre Segurança Nuclear (ICONS) de 2020, a Comissão organizou igualmente um evento paralelo, que registou grande afluência. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | A Comissão Europeia continua a desempenhar um papel importante no âmbito do Grupo do Controlo de Fronteiras em matéria de segurança nuclear, tendo presidido ao Grupo e aos seus dois subgrupos sobre tecnologias de deteção e desenvolvimento de capacidades. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | A Comissão Europeia prosseguiu as suas atividades de investigação sobre o desenvolvimento de uma nova técnica de dosagem não destrutiva, nomeadamente a espetrometria de raios gama diferida para efeitos de verificação das assinaturas de material nuclear, em colaboração com a AIEA. Foi apresentada uma ação conjunta (JRC e AIEA) ao abrigo do programa de apoio à AIEA. |

34.

| 35. | Em 2020, a DG TAXUD, apoiada pelo JRC e pelo EUSECTRA, lançou um programa eLearning interativo destinado a ajudar os agentes aduaneiros a adquirirem conhecimentos sobre o controlo de fronteiras no domínio nuclear e radioativo. O módulo de base explica o importante papel desempenhado pelos agentes aduaneiros na deteção de materiais nucleares e radioativos, sensibilizando-os para os riscos e ameaças, e faz uma introdução básica sobre materiais, equipamentos e processos pertinentes. O módulo avançado explora os mesmos tópicos, mas de forma mais pormenorizada. Ambos os cursos perspetivam cenários realistas que envolvem portos marítimos, aeroportos, caminhos de ferro e fronteiras terrestres, podendo os participantes testar as decisões tomadas. A colaboração entre a DG TAXUD e o JRC criou mais sinergias entre as administrações aduaneiras dos Estados-Membros. As ações de formação ministradas no centro EUSECTRA servirão de plataforma para que os peritos nacionais procedam ao intercâmbio de boas práticas de segurança nuclear no domínio da proteção das fronteiras, contribuindo assim para o desenvolvimento de procedimentos harmonizados. Tal inscreve-se no quadro de um esforço que visa lutar em colaboração contra o tráfico de material nuclear e facilitar o comércio através de postos de controlo aduaneiro. Em última análise, ao promover uma cultura de segurança nuclear comum, pretende-se impedir que as pessoas tenham acesso a materiais nocivos. |

Iniciativas relacionadas com a verificação nuclear

| 36. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros apoiaram a criação do Grupo de Peritos Governamentais (GPG) em verificação do desarmamento nuclear na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas em 2016, congratularam-se com os debates realizados no GPG e concordaram com a recomendação formulada no sentido de prosseguir os trabalhos, tendo em conta o relatório do GPG. A UE apoia plenamente a Resolução 74/50 da Assembleia Geral da ONU e a criação de um novo Grupo de Peritos Governamentais, que se reunirá em 2021 e em 2022, para que se continue a valorizar o papel que a verificação pode ter na prossecução do desarmamento nuclear. A UE apoia o trabalho das parcerias alargadas e dos mecanismos cooperativos de verificação e tem participado nos trabalhos da Parceria Internacional para a Verificação do Desarmamento Nuclear (IPNDV) desde a sua constituição, em 2015. Apoia também o ponto de ação relacionado com a verificação do desarmamento nuclear previsto no programa do secretário-geral das Nações Unidas «Assegurar o nosso futuro comum: um programa de desarmamento». |

Questões regionais

| 37. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros continuaram a instar a República Popular Democrática da Coreia (RPDC) a tomar medidas concretas para abandonar os seus programas de armas de destruição maciça e de mísseis balísticos de forma integral, verificável e irreversível. Foi o que ficou patente em todas as declarações da UE na matéria. A UE considerou que os lançamentos de mísseis balísticos pela República Popular Democrática da Coreia (RPDC) em março e abril de 2020 constituem uma violação das obrigações decorrentes de várias resoluções do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, representando uma grave ameaça para a paz e a segurança regionais e internacionais e comprometendo os esforços internacionais de construção de uma paz e segurança duradouras na Península da Coreia. O facto de a RPDC ter, em outubro, exibido os mísseis aparentemente novos que possui e de afirmar que já não se considera obrigada a manter uma moratória sobre os ensaios de armas nucleares e mísseis balísticos intercontinentais minou ainda mais o ambiente, dificultando o reatamento do diálogo. A UE exortou a RPDC a suspender imediatamente todos os lançamentos, encetar negociações que tenham expressão prática, tomar medidas concretas e credíveis no sentido de criar um clima de confiança e abandonar todos os seus programas de armas nucleares e mísseis balísticos de forma integral, verificável e irreversível. A UE continuou a exortar a RPDC a respeitar na íntegra todas as resoluções pertinentes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU e demais obrigações e compromissos internacionais a que está vinculada, assinar e ratificar sem demora o TPTE e voltar a cumprir as obrigações de salvaguarda que lhe incumbem por força do TNP. A UE transpôs rapidamente todas as resoluções do Conselho de Segurança para a sua legislação e adotou também rigorosas sanções autónomas que complementam e reforçam as sanções adotadas pela ONU. Continuou ainda a envidar esforços no sentido de incentivar outros países a aplicarem integralmente as sanções contra a RPDC. Em declaração emitida a 16 de junho, o porta-voz do SEAE lamentou as ações da RPDC que tinham suscitado tensões e instou ao relançamento de um processo diplomático sustentado destinado a reforçar a confiança e a cimentar uma paz e segurança duradouras na Península da Coreia, fazendo dela, o mais rapidamente possível, uma zona livre de armas nucleares. |

Conferência do Desarmamento (CD)/Tratado de Proibição da Produção de Material Cindível para Armas Nucleares e Outros Engenhos Explosivos Nucleares

| 38. | A UE mantém-se unida e empenhada num desarmamento nuclear e num controlo de armas verificável e baseado nos tratados e salienta a necessidade de renovar os esforços multilaterais e de revitalizar os órgãos de negociação multilaterais, em particular a Conferência do Desarmamento (CD). Há muito que a UE defende que a prioridade da Conferência do Desarmamento seja dar imediatamente início à negociação de um Tratado de Proibição da Produção de Material Cindível para Armas Nucleares e Outros Engenhos Explosivos Nucleares (FMCT). Como tal, apoia o início dessa negociação em conformidade com o documento CD/1299 e com o mandato nele previsto. A UE solicita a todos os Estados membros da CD que iniciem sem demora as negociações de um FMCT e comecem a trabalhar nas outras questões constantes da agenda. Com a Decisão (UE) 2017/2284 do Conselho, de 11 de dezembro de 2017 (9), a UE prestou apoio financeiro ao Gabinete das Nações Unidas para os Assuntos de Desarmamento (GNUAD) no intuito de facilitar a participação dos países de África, da Ásia, da América Latina e das Caraíbas nas consultas relacionadas com o FMCT e noutras atividades. A UE incentiva igualmente todos os países detentores de armas nucleares que ainda o não tenham feito a declararem e respeitarem uma moratória imediata sobre a produção de material cindível para armas nucleares ou outros engenhos explosivos nucleares. O Estado-Membro da UE que detém armas nucleares anunciou moratórias neste domínio e desmantelou as suas instalações. |

ARMAS QUÍMICAS

| 39. | A UE continuou a apoiar a Organização para a Proibição de Armas Químicas (OPAQ) do ponto de vista político, diplomático e financeiro, a fim de assegurar a adesão universal à Convenção sobre as Armas Químicas (CAQ) e a sua implementação plena e efetiva. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Neste contexto, continuou a aplicar-se a Decisão (PESC) 2019/538 do Conselho (10), de 1 de abril de 2019. Esta decisão prevê que, durante o período de 2019-2022, a UE apoie as atividades fundamentais da OPAQ (como a implementação a nível nacional, a cooperação internacional, a universalização, o Programa para África). A decisão contribui também grandemente para a modernização do laboratório da OPAQ, transformando-o num Centro para a Química e a Tecnologia, bem como para a execução da Decisão C-SS-4/DEC.3 («Enfrentar a ameaça colocada pelas armas químicas»), adotada a 27 de junho de 2018 na sessão especial da Conferência dos Estados Partes (CEP) na CAQ. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | A UE apoiou firmemente o trabalho desenvolvido pela Missão de Averiguação da OPAQ, pela Equipa de Avaliação das Declarações e pela Equipa de Investigação e Identificação na investigação dos relatos sobre a utilização de armas químicas na Síria, na busca de solução para as lacunas e incongruências detetadas na declaração inicial da Síria, bem como na investigação e identificação dos autores de ataques químicos na Síria. Neste contexto, continuou a aplicar-se a Decisão (PESC) 2017/2303 do Conselho, com a redação que lhe foi dada pela Decisão (PESC) 2019/2112, de apoio à aplicação da Resolução 2118 (2013) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas e da Decisão EC-M-33/DEC.1 do Conselho Executivo da OPAQ sobre a destruição das armas químicas sírias (11), mediante a disponibilização de imagens de satélite destinadas a apoiar as operações da OPAQ na Síria. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | Em conformidade com as conclusões do Conselho Europeu de 28 de junho de 2018, em que a UE se comprometeu a apoiar a execução da Decisão C-SS-4/DEC.3 da sessão especial da CEP na Convenção sobre as Armas Químicas, de 27 de junho de 2018, no sentido de estabelecer um mecanismo de atribuição em resposta à utilização repetida destas armas desde 2012, e a fim de assegurar a adoção do projeto de programa e orçamento da OPAQ para 2021, a UE efetuou uma diligência junto de grande número de Estados Partes na CAQ, solicitando a sua participação e o seu apoio tendo em vista o êxito da primeira parte da 25.a Conferência dos Estados Partes (CEP-25), que teve lugar entre 30 de novembro e 1 de dezembro de 2020. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Em 2020, continuou a ser aplicada a Decisão (PESC) 2017/1252 do Conselho, de 11 de julho de 2017, de apoio ao reforço da segurança e proteção das substâncias químicas na Ucrânia em conformidade com a execução da Resolução 1540 (2004) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, sobre a não proliferação de armas de destruição maciça e seus vetores (12). Com esta decisão, a UE apoiou o reforço das capacidades nacionais da Ucrânia e, nomeadamente, a criação de um centro nacional de referência ucraniano para identificar substâncias químicas regulamentadas e tóxicas. |
| --- | --- |

43.

ARMAS BIOLÓGICAS

| 44. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros apoiam firmemente a Convenção sobre as Armas Biológicas e Toxínicas (CABT) e estão muito empenhados nos esforços internacionais que visam melhorar a segurança e a proteção biológicas em todo o mundo. Através de ações conjuntas e decisões do Conselho, a UE disponibilizou cerca de 10 milhões de euros de apoio direto à CABT desde 2006. Disponibilizou ainda um montante adicional de 6 milhões de euros para apoiar, por um lado, o reforço da segurança e da proteção biológicas na Ucrânia e em vários países da América Latina, e, por outro, o mecanismo do secretário-geral da ONU para a investigação do uso alegado de armas químicas, biológicas e toxínicas. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | Em julho de 2020, a UE levou a cabo uma campanha de sensibilização para a universalização junto de 13 países que ainda não são Partes na Convenção sobre as Armas Biológicas e Toxínicas, incentivando-os a aderir à Convenção antes da 9.a Conferência de Análise. |
| --- | --- |

45.

| 46. | Em 2020, a Decisão (PESC) 2019/97 do Conselho, de apoio à Convenção sobre as Armas Biológicas e Toxínicas (13), continuou a ser aplicada, apesar de todas as dificuldades causadas pela pandemia de COVID-19. A decisão prevê que o orçamento do Gabinete das Nações Unidas para os Assuntos de Desarmamento (GNUAD) durante o período de 2019-22 ascenda a 3 milhões de euros. Deste modo, a Unidade de Apoio à Aplicação (UAA) da CABT está em condições de facilitar seis novos projetos de apoio à universalização, reforçar as capacidades de aplicação a nível nacional, incluindo três exercícios de avaliação pelos pares, promover a biossegurança nos países do Sul, desenvolver instrumentos de sensibilização, educação e participação e aumentar o nível de preparação para reagir a ataques biológicos. Em 14 de outubro de 2020, foram lançados, por meio de uma reunião virtual, o Programa Nacional de Preparação destinado à Nigéria e uma formação em linha sobre a elaboração e apresentação de medidas geradoras de confiança. |

46.

| 47. | Em 2020, teve de ser adiado o início da aplicação da Decisão (PESC) 2019/1296 do Conselho, de 31 de julho de 2019, de apoio ao reforço da segurança e proteção biológicas na Ucrânia em conformidade com a execução da Resolução 1540 (2004) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, sobre a não proliferação de armas de destruição maciça e seus vetores (14). Esta decisão, executada pela OSCE, prevê a prestação de um apoio de 1,9 milhões de euros ao longo de três anos. Graças à decisão, a UE apoia o reforço da segurança e da proteção biológicas na Ucrânia, nomeadamente aperfeiçoando a base legislativa e regulamentar do país e os seus sistemas de saúde humana e animal e sensibilizando os especialistas em ciências da vida para esta problemática. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | Em 2020, apesar de todas as dificuldades causadas pela pandemia de COVID-19, continuou a ser aplicada a Decisão (PESC) 2019/2108, de 9 de dezembro de 2019, de apoio ao reforço da segurança e proteção biológicas na América Latina em conformidade com a execução da Resolução 1540 (2004) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, sobre a não proliferação de armas de destruição maciça e seus vetores (15). Esta decisão, executada pela Organização dos Estados Americanos, prevê a prestação de um apoio de 2,7 milhões de euros ao longo de três anos. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | Em 2 de junho de 2020, o Conselho adotou a Decisão (PESC) 2020/732, de apoio ao mecanismo do secretário-geral da ONU para a investigação dos casos de alegado uso de armas químicas e biológicas ou toxínicas (16), que é executada pelo GNUAD e prevê a disponibilização de um montante de 1,4 milhões de euros ao longo de três anos. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | Devido à pandemia de COVID-19, todas as reuniões da CABT previstas para 2020 foram adiadas para 2021, ao passo que a 9.a Conferência de Análise foi adiada para 2022. Entretanto, em outubro e novembro de 2020, a Unidade de Apoio à Aplicação da CABT organizou uma série de webinários informais sobre os temas das cinco reuniões de peritos. |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | Em outubro de 2020, a UE levou a cabo uma campanha de sensibilização em Nova Iorque e em Genebra, incentivando os Estados membros das Nações Unidas a, aquando da 75.a sessão da AGNU, não apoiarem um projeto de resolução sobre o mecanismo do secretário-geral da ONU não consentâneo com a conceção desse mecanismo enquanto instrumento internacional independente para a investigação do uso alegado de armas químicas e biológicas, que a UE apoia firmemente. |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | Pela Decisão (UE) 2020/1466 do Conselho, de 12 de outubro de 2020 (17), a UE prorrogou por mais 12 meses o seu regime de medidas restritivas contra a proliferação e utilização de armas químicas. Em 14 de outubro de 2020, o Conselho adotou a Decisão (PESC) 2020/1482 (18), ao abrigo da qual seis pessoas e uma entidade foram acrescentadas à lista de pessoas singulares e coletivas, entidades e organismos sujeitos a medidas restritivas. |

MÍSSEIS BALÍSTICOS

Código de Conduta da Haia

| 53. | O Código de Conduta da Haia contra a Proliferação de Mísseis Balísticos (HCOC) é o resultado dos esforços desenvolvidos pela comunidade internacional para regular o setor dos mísseis balísticos capazes de transportar armas de destruição maciça. O HCOC é o único instrumento multilateral relacionado com a proliferação de mísseis balísticos gerador de transparência e confiança. Ao subscreverem o HCOC, os países membros comprometem-se voluntariamente a fornecer notificações prévias dos lançamentos de mísseis balísticos e de veículos lançadores espaciais, bem como dos voos de ensaio. Os países subscritores comprometem-se ainda a apresentar uma declaração anual sobre as suas políticas em matéria de mísseis balísticos e veículos lançadores espaciais. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | A UE tem apoiado firmemente o Código desde a sua criação. Todos os Estados-Membros da UE o subscreveram. Desde que, em novembro de 2002, o HCOC, politicamente vinculativo, foi assinado na Haia (Países Baixos) e entrou em vigor, o número de signatários subiu de 93 para 143. Tal subida ficou também a dever-se às diligências diplomáticas efetuadas pela UE junto de vários Estados não subscritores a fim de apoiar a universalização do Código. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | A UE promove sistematicamente a universalidade, a plena aplicação e o reforço do funcionamento do Código. Ao longo da última década, o Conselho da UE tem vindo a adotar, no âmbito da PESC, uma série de decisões/ações comuns de apoio ao Código de Conduta da Haia e à não proliferação de mísseis em geral. Por meio destas decisões do Conselho, a UE financia atividades de sensibilização para o HCOC, nomeadamente eventos paralelos, documentos de investigação, reuniões de peritos e seminários de sensibilização a nível regional. Estas atividades são levadas a cabo pela Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), sediada em Paris, normalmente também com a participação da presidência rotativa do HCOC. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | Com base na Decisão (PESC) 2017/2370 do Conselho, de 18 de dezembro de 2017 (19), a UE continua a promover a adesão ao Código e, em última análise, a sua universalidade, a apoiar a aplicação integral do Código, a promover o diálogo entre os Estados subscritores e não subscritores de molde a reforçar a confiança e a transparência, a incentivar a contenção e a criar mais estabilidade e segurança para todos, a reforçar a visibilidade do Código e sensibilizar o público para os riscos e ameaças inerentes à proliferação de mísseis balísticos e a explorar, nomeadamente através de estudos académicos, as possibilidades de reforçar o Código e promover a cooperação entre o Código e outros instrumentos multilaterais pertinentes. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Devido à pandemia de COVID-19, teve de ser aplicada uma suspensão temporária das atividades presenciais. Ainda assim, foram realizados vários eventos de sensibilização em formato virtual, nomeadamente:

RESOLUÇÃO 1540 DO CONSELHO DE SEGURANÇA DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS E ATENUAÇÃO DOS RISCOS QBRN

| 58. | A Resolução 1540 (2004) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas continua a ser um pilar central da arquitetura internacional de não proliferação. É o primeiro instrumento internacional que aborda de forma integrada e abrangente a questão das armas de destruição maciça, seus vetores e materiais conexos. A Resolução 1540 (2004) do CSNU impõe a todos os países obrigações de caráter vinculativo. Estas obrigações visam impedir e dissuadir o acesso de intervenientes não estatais a esse tipo de armas, seus vetores e materiais associados. Adotada ao abrigo do Capítulo VII da Carta das Nações Unidas, a resolução obriga todos os países a adotar a legislação necessária para proibir todos os intervenientes não estatais de obterem armas nucleares, químicas ou biológicas e a estabelecer controlos internos adequados para os materiais conexos a fim de prevenir o tráfico. O processo de revisão global da Resolução 1540 do Conselho de Segurança da ONU em 2016 veio reafirmar o papel central, a importância e a autoridade da resolução, repercutidos na Resolução 2325 do Conselho de Segurança. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | A fim de contribuir para a implementação dos resultados da revisão global efetuada em 2016 e de apoiar a plena aplicação da Resolução 1540 do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, o Conselho adotou, em 11 de maio de 2017, a Decisão (PESC) 2017/809 do Conselho (20), de apoio à aplicação da Resolução 1540 (2004) do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, relativa à não proliferação de armas de destruição maciça e seus vetores. A decisão do Conselho abrange um período de 48 meses e está a ser executada pelo Gabinete das Nações Unidas para os Assuntos de Desarmamento (GNUAD) em Nova Iorque, que confiou parte da execução à OSCE em Viena. Os fundos da UE servem para ajudar os países a identificar a assistência técnica de que necessitam, divulgar programas de assistência técnica pertinentes e reforçar a cooperação com organizações internacionais e regionais, a fim de apoiar o trabalho de reforço das capacidades nacionais. |

59.

| 60. | O Centro Comum de Investigação (JRC) da Comissão Europeia transmitiu oficialmente à presidência do «Comité 1540» uma cópia do Atlas do Comércio Estratégico, elaborado em conjunto pelo JRC e pelo Argonne National Laboratory do Departamento da Energia dos EUA. O Atlas do Comércio Estratégico foi desenvolvido no intuito de promover a compreensão sobre os fluxos de comércio mundial de bens estratégicos, ou seja, bens de valor militar estratégico, incluindo bens de dupla utilização. O Atlas foi publicado em dois volumes, traçando perspetivas de comércio estratégico baseadas nos países (21) e nos produtos (22). O Atlas do Comércio Estratégico é utilizado, nomeadamente, pela Organização Mundial das Alfândegas. Como tal, foi considerado de interesse para o Grupo de Peritos do «Comité 1540». |

| 61. | A iniciativa Centros de Excelência QBRN da UE foi criada em 2010 como um programa mundial de reforço das capacidades de atenuar os riscos, sejam eles de origem intencional, acidental ou natural, relacionados com materiais ou agentes químicos, biológicos, radiológicos ou nucleares e os riscos para as instalações ou locais conexos. A iniciativa reúne atualmente 62 países parceiros, agrupados em oito secretariados regionais, situados nas seguintes regiões: Fachada Atlântica Africana, Ásia Central, África Central e Oriental, Países do Conselho de Cooperação do Golfo, Médio Oriente, Norte de África e Sael, Sudeste Asiático e Europa do Sudeste e Oriental. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | A iniciativa Centros de Excelência QBRN da UE tem sido financiada a título do Instrumento para a Estabilidade e a Paz (IEP), que expirou em 2020 e será substituído pelo Instrumento de Vizinhança, de Cooperação para o Desenvolvimento e de Cooperação Internacional (IVCDCI) durante o período de 2021-2027. De acordo com um relatório de 2018 do Tribunal de Contas Europeu (RE n.o 14/2018, TCE), a iniciativa Centros de Excelência QBRN da UE permitiu que se progredisse em termos de atenuação dos riscos relacionados com materiais QBRN, melhorando as capacidades e a cooperação a nível nacional e regional e promovendo uma cultura de segurança e cooperação. Os países participantes são apoiados nos seus esforços de criação voluntária de estruturas de coordenação e governação nacionais e regionais, seguindo uma abordagem regional centrada na procura. Essas plataformas desenvolvem e reforçam as políticas nacionais no domínio QBRN e criam capacidades com base em necessidades específicas, na avaliação dos riscos e nos planos de ação nacionais. São apoiadas por vários projetos de cooperação regional financiados a título da iniciativa e abertos a outros instrumentos de financiamento. Desde 2010, foram financiados 85 projetos regionais. O orçamento da iniciativa para o período de 10 anos que teve início em 2010 ascende a cerca de 250 milhões de euros. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | A rede de centros de excelência está agora bem desenvolvida. Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, demonstrou a sua solidez e sustentabilidade quando vários secretariados regionais deram início à realização de uma série de webinários com vista ao intercâmbio de conhecimentos especializados e à partilha de experiências e boas práticas em matéria de gestão de epidemias. O apoio ad hoc prestado a vários países ajudou-os a criar procedimentos adequados para detetar os primeiros casos de infeção. A assistência de longo prazo, com especial destaque para África, continuará a aumentar as capacidades de deteção precoce e de vigilância de agentes patogénicos altamente perigosos mediante uma abordagem «Uma Só Saúde». Em várias regiões, estão a ser desenvolvidos planos de ação regionais no domínio QBRN e a cooperação inter-regional. Além disso, a iniciativa está suficientemente avançada para apoiar novas ações que respondam a questões de governação da segurança relacionadas com a cibercriminalidade, o terrorismo, as infraestruturas críticas, os medicamentos falsificados, as ameaças híbridas e os explosivos, bem como para continuar a desenvolver a cooperação em matéria de investigação forense nuclear, controlo de fronteiras e controlo das exportações de produtos de dupla utilização. Em 2020, no âmbito da rede de Centros de Excelência QBRN da UE, o JRC da UE, em colaboração com o Departamento da Energia dos EUA e o Instituto de Investigação Nuclear de Kiev, desenvolveu atividades de ensino e formação no domínio da segurança nuclear destinadas a participantes da Geórgia, da Ucrânia, do Azerbaijão e da República da Moldávia, a fim de reforçar a segurança nuclear na região do mar Negro, e apoiou a execução de três projetos relacionados com a segurança nuclear em países da GUAM (Geórgia, Ucrânia, Azerbaijão e República da Moldávia). Foram realizados na Ucrânia e na República da Moldávia exercícios documentais e no terreno com base em cenários de contrabando nuclear. O Instituto de Investigação Nuclear de Kiev e o Instituto de Física e Tecnologia de Kharkov ministraram formação destinada a jovens profissionais no domínio da segurança nuclear. Além disso, foi criado um sistema regional de informação sobre investigação forense nuclear. Para apoiar as capacidades de investigação forense nuclear na região do mar Negro, foram lançados, em 2021, três projetos de acompanhamento para os países da GUAM geridos pelo STCU (Centro de Ciência e Tecnologia da Ucrânia). Além disso, foi elaborado um projeto sobre o reforço das capacidades em matéria de investigação forense nuclear, gerido pelo CICT (Centro Internacional de Ciência e Tecnologia), na Geórgia e na Arménia; este projeto também terá início em 2021. |

| 64. | No que se refere aos aspetos internos da atenuação das ameaças QBRN, a execução do plano de ação para o reforço da preparação contra os riscos de segurança química, biológica, radiológica e nuclear, apresentado em outubro de 2017 pela Comissão como parte de um pacote mais vasto de luta contra o terrorismo, foi revista no final de 2019 e o documento continua a ser considerado o quadro estratégico válido no domínio QBRN. A Agenda de 2020 em matéria de Luta contra o Terrorismo reforçou alguns aspetos no domínio QBRN, nomeadamente no que se refere à ameaça colocada pelos agentes químicos e à biossegurança. No que diz respeito ao plano de ação, a Comissão está atualmente a analisar a viabilidade de se restringir o acesso a alguns dos produtos químicos que podem ser utilizados para fins maliciosos. Os trabalhos relativos à deteção de ameaças QBRN — incluindo os ensaios de equipamento realizados por alguns Estados-Membros com a coordenação da Comissão — avançaram conforme planeado. No entanto, algumas das atividades no domínio QBRN que tiveram início em 2019 tiveram de ser suspensas em 2020, em especial a campanha de formação sobre a aplicação da legislação da UE em matéria de ameaças radiológicas que estava a decorrer no centro de formação EUSECTRA em Karlsruhe, na Alemanha. |

64.

| 65. | A execução do plano de ação é apoiada por projetos cofinanciados pelo Fundo para a Segurança Interna — Polícia. Entre as iniciativas selecionadas, contam-se duas que são particularmente relevantes para a política no domínio QBRN. Uma delas (Mall-CBRN) analisa a proteção e a preparação no domínio QBRN em grandes centros comerciais, ao passo que a outra (Safe Stadium) aplica uma abordagem semelhante à adotada em grandes recintos desportivos, especialmente estádios de futebol. Uma das vantagens de ambas as iniciativas é a presença de utilizadores finais relevantes nos consórcios, por exemplo o clube de futebol Real Madrid. |

65.

| 66. | O plano de ação QBRN da UE beneficiou do apoio científico e técnico de uma série de projetos de investigação financiados pelo Programa «Sociedade Segura» no âmbito do 7.o Programa-Quadro. A investigação abrange todo o ciclo de gestão de crises — da prevenção à recuperação. As atividades destinadas a identificar as necessidades de normalização poderão levar ao estabelecimento de «normas europeias». O Programa Horizonte 2020 dinamizará o trabalho em curso em matéria de investigação no domínio QBRN definindo temas específicos. |

GRUPOS DE REFLEXÃO

| 67. | Com base na Decisão 2010/430/PESC do Conselho (23), de 26 de julho de 2010, a execução da Estratégia da UE contra a Proliferação de Armas de Destruição maciça tem sido ativamente apoiada pelo Consórcio da UE para a Não Proliferação e o Desarmamento, que iniciou a sua atividade em janeiro de 2011. Em 26 de fevereiro de 2018, o Conselho adotou a Decisão (PESC) 2018/299 (24), que aumenta ainda mais o apoio da UE às atividades do Consórcio no período de 2018-2021, tirando partido dos resultados obtidos até à data e acrescentando novos projetos. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | As atividades do Consórcio aumentaram a visibilidade da UE perante os países terceiros e a sociedade civil e contribuíram substancialmente para determinar a política da UE nas áreas da não proliferação e do desarmamento. O Consórcio constitui uma plataforma para o estabelecimento de contactos informais entre os profissionais do setor e estimula o diálogo entre as diferentes partes interessadas. As suas atividades ajudaram a chamar a atenção para os desafios colocados pelas armas de destruição maciça e pelas armas convencionais e a estudar soluções para fazer face a esses mesmos desafios. O Consórcio tira partido de uma vasta rede de 99 grupos de reflexão e centros de investigação em toda a Europa, em que participam elementos de todos os Estados-Membros da UE e de países parceiros como a Suíça, a Turquia e a Ucrânia. Ao longo do ano 2020, aderiram à rede nove institutos. |

68.

| 69. | Todos os eventos convocados pelo Consórcio garantiram a diversidade de participantes e oradores em termos de género, idade, conhecimentos especializados e representação geográfica. Devido às circunstâncias específicas relacionadas com a COVID-19, em 2020 estes eventos realizaram-se em formato virtual. Mais especificamente, em 2020, o Consórcio organizou as seguintes atividades para aplicar a Decisão (PESC) 2018/299 do Conselho:






  — | Um curso sobre não proliferação nuclear para estudantes de cursos universitários e de pós-graduação nos domínios da informática e da engenharia, intitulado «The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: History, Threats and Solutions» [A proliferação de armas nucleares: história, ameaças e soluções] (19-21 de fevereiro de 2020); |

CONTROLO DAS EXPORTAÇÕES

| 71. | Em 2020, o Grupo da Exportação de Armas Convencionais (COARM) deu início aos trabalhos relativos à concretização dos objetivos estabelecidos nas conclusões do Conselho sobre o reexame da Posição Comum 2008/944/PESC do Conselho (26), relativa ao controlo das exportações de armas (27). Na sequência de um acordo no âmbito do COARM, o Serviço Europeu para a Ação Externa lançou, em outubro, uma base de dados em linha no seu sítio Web na qual o público pode consultar e analisar, de forma convivial, os dados relativos às exportações de armas por parte dos Estados-Membros. Esta base de dados foi, de um modo geral, bem acolhida, uma vez que contribuiu para aumentar significativamente a transparência no domínio da exportação de armas. A base de dados, que contém informações sobre o valor, destino e tipo de licenças de exportação de armas e as exportações efetivas por parte dos Estados-Membros, será atualizada anualmente. Além disso, o COARM preparou uma decisão do Conselho relativa aos certificados de utilizador final para a exportação de armas ligeiras e de pequeno calibre e respetivas munições. Esta decisão, adotada em janeiro de 2021, contribui para uma maior convergência entre as políticas dos Estados-Membros em matéria de exportação de armas. O COARM prosseguiu as suas atividades de sensibilização e manteve diálogos regulares com várias partes interessadas, incluindo organizações da sociedade civil, o CICV e representantes da indústria europeia de defesa. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | A UE prosseguiu igualmente as atividades de sensibilização destinadas a apoiar os países terceiros na criação de um sistema de controlo das exportações de armas e a promover a universalização do TCA. Ao abrigo da Decisão (PESC) 2018/101 do Conselho (28), de 22 de janeiro de 2018, e da sua sucessora, a Decisão (PESC) 2020/1464 do Conselho (29), de 12 de outubro de 2020, relativa à promoção de controlos eficazes da exportação de armas, executada pela Agência Federal alemã de Economia e Controlo das Exportações (BAFA), realizaram-se diversos seminários e atividades de assistência individual, na sua maior parte em formato virtual devido à pandemia. Além disso, no âmbito da Decisão (PESC) 2017/915 do Conselho (30), executada pela BAFA e pela Expertise France, foram realizadas outras atividades regionais de sensibilização, programas nacionais de assistência concebidos em função do destinatário e seminários ad hoc de assistência individual, para apoio à aplicação e universalização efetivas do Tratado sobre o Comércio de Armas. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Em 2020, foram organizadas com a Noruega e os Estados Unidos reuniões de diálogo político sobre questões de controlo das exportações de armas. Estes diálogos políticos constituíram um profícuo fórum de debate sobre assuntos de interesse comum, como as políticas de exportação para determinados destinos, as questões de conformidade e controlo e o processo do Tratado sobre o Comércio de Armas. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | Em 2020, a UE continuou a atualizar regularmente a sua regulamentação para ter em conta a evolução dos regimes multilaterais de controlo das exportações. Assim, em 7 de outubro de 2020, a Comissão Europeia adotou o Regulamento Delegado (UE) 2017/1749 (31), que, em conformidade com as decisões tomadas em 2019 no quadro dos regimes multilaterais de controlo das exportações, atualiza a lista a usar pela UE para efeitos de controlo dos produtos de dupla utilização, tendo ainda introduzido novos controlos, nomeadamente programas de controlo da aplicação da lei e ferramentas digitais de investigação forense. A atualização de 2020 da lista de controlo da UE introduziu também controlos relativos a mais 24 produtos químicos, incluindo precursores do agente Novichok, em conformidade com o acordo alcançado em fevereiro de 2020 na reunião intersessões do Grupo da Austrália, a fim de impedir o comércio de precursores de armas químicas. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | O Grupo de Coordenação da Dupla Utilização continuou a apoiar a execução firme e eficaz dos controlos das exportações na UE. Em 2020, foram lançadas novas funcionalidades do «Sistema Eletrónico dos Produtos de Dupla Utilização» para ajustar o sistema às alterações regulamentares, designadamente à lista de controlo atualizada de 2019 e à realização de consultas eletrónicas seguras entre as autoridades competentes. Em virtude do Brexit, foi introduzida uma nova funcionalidade para apoiar o intercâmbio de informações com a autoridade competente do Reino Unido ao abrigo do Protocolo relativo à Irlanda do Norte. A UE avançou igualmente com o desenvolvimento de uma «plataforma de licenciamento eletrónico», a utilizar pelos Estados-Membros a título voluntário, e deu início aos trabalhos de integração dos sistemas eletrónicos de concessão de licenças de dupla utilização nos sistemas eletrónicos aduaneiros criados no âmbito da iniciativa «balcão único». O relatório anual relativo ao controlo das exportações (32) foi publicado a fim de garantir a transparência do controlo das exportações e das atividades de concessão de licenças tendo, em 11 de dezembro de 2020, sido organizado um fórum de controlo das exportações que reuniu partes interessadas dos Estados-Membros, da indústria e da sociedade civil (33). |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | Avançou-se consideravelmente com o reexame da política da UE em matéria de controlo das exportações. O Conselho e o Parlamento Europeu chegaram a acordo sobre a modernização dos controlos das exportações da UE. Entre as grandes alterações introduzidas para aumentar a eficiência e a eficácia dos controlos contam-se definições e parâmetros de controlo atualizados, a harmonização, simplificação e digitalização da concessão de licenças e uma maior cooperação e partilha de informações com países terceiros. O novo regulamento tornará o atual sistema da UE em matéria de controlo das exportações mais eficaz mediante a introdução de uma nova dimensão de «segurança humana», que permitirá à UE dar resposta aos desafios suscitados pelas tecnologias de dupla utilização emergentes — em especial as tecnologias de cibervigilância — que representem um risco para a segurança nacional e internacional, em que se inclui a proteção dos direitos humanos. O novo regulamento será formalmente adotado e entrará em vigor em 2021. As atividades dos regimes multilaterais de controlo das exportações foram seriamente afetadas pela pandemia; embora as reuniões plenárias tivessem de ser canceladas, as reuniões virtuais permitiram que os grupos prosseguissem alguns dos seus trabalhos. Independentemente disso, a UE participou na reunião intersessões realizada pelo Grupo da Austrália em Bratislava (5-7 de fevereiro de 2020). |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Prosseguiu a execução do Programa EU P2P de Controlo das Exportações, que visa reforçar a eficácia dos sistemas de controlo das exportações de produtos de dupla utilização e de materiais, equipamentos e tecnologias conexos em seis regiões. Em 2020, o programa abrangeu 41 países, incluindo os países participantes nas iniciativas específicas de controlo das exportações levadas a cabo com o Centro de Ciência e Tecnologia da Ucrânia e o Centro Internacional de Ciência e Tecnologia do Cazaquistão, que envolvem 14 países. Realizaram-se diversos seminários regionais, atividades de assistência de âmbito nacional e seminários ad hoc de apoio, na maior parte dos casos em formato virtual devido à pandemia. |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | Manteve-se uma intensa coordenação entre o Programa EU P2P de Controlo das Exportações e o programa de Controlo das Exportações e de Segurança das Fronteiras do Departamento de Estado dos EUA. Foram organizados seminários conjuntos UE-EUA para trocar informações sobre metodologias de avaliação da ameaça, a fim de definir indicadores de impacto comuns e coordenar a assistência no terreno. A 6.a edição da Universidade de Verão do EU P2P, sobre controlos comerciais estratégicos para os países parceiros do programa EU P2P de controlo das exportações de produtos de dupla utilização, foi organizada em formato virtual pelo FPI e pelo JRCentre 17 e 21 de agosto de 2020. Em 2020, foram introduzidas melhorias no portal do EU P2P, transferido para o ambiente Web oficial da União Europeia (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en). O portal continuará a servir de plataforma para todos os programas de sensibilização da UE em matéria de controlo das exportações de material militar e produtos de dupla utilização, com o objetivo de adaptar especificamente o intercâmbio de informações com os países parceiros da UE. O programa é financiado a título do Instrumento para a Estabilidade e a Paz. |
| --- | --- |

78.

| 79. | Em 2020, o JRC continuou a desenvolver o «Guia para o Controlo das Exportações de Produtos Químicos», disponibilizando no seu portal a base de dados. Na primavera de 2021, será publicada uma segunda revisão do guia. Referência: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news/world-trade-controls-export-control-handbook-chemicals |
| --- | --- |

79.

| 80. | Em janeiro de 2021, o JRC apresentou a nova plataforma em linha denominada «TIM Dual-use», que permite mapear mais de 70 milhões de resumos de investigação (Scopus), patentes (Patstat) e projetos financiados pela UE (base de dados CORDIS) pertinentes em matéria de dupla utilização.

80.

| 81. | O Regime de Controlo da Tecnologia dos Mísseis (RCTM) é uma associação informal e voluntária de países que partilham dos objetivos de não proliferação de vetores não tripulados capazes de lançar armas de destruição maciça que procura coordenar os esforços nacionais de concessão de licenças de exportação a fim de prevenir a proliferação de tais vetores. Os governos que participam no RCTM comprometeram-se a respeitar as orientações comuns para as políticas de exportação (orientações do RCTM), que se aplicam a toda uma lista comum de produtos regulamentados (anexo do RCTM relativo ao equipamento, ao software e à tecnologia). Os parceiros no RCTM trocam regularmente informações sobre questões nacionais relacionadas com as licenças de exportação. As orientações do RCTM e as listas de controlo constituem um parâmetro de referência das boas práticas internacionais de controlo das exportações de produtos e tecnologias relacionados com os mísseis. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | Uma questão de importância fundamental para a UE no contexto do RCTM prende-se com o facto de a adesão de nove dos seus Estados-Membros ao regime (a saber, Chipre, Croácia, Eslováquia, Eslovénia, Estónia, Letónia, Lituânia, Malta e Roménia) continuar bloqueada. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | Além disso, a continuidade e a previsibilidade da presidência dos regimes de controlo das exportações, como o RCTM, são fundamentais para o funcionamento e a credibilidade desses mesmos regimes. Os Estados-Membros da UE que são membros do RCTM apresentaram na reunião plenária um documento informal subordinado ao tema «Questões relacionadas com a presidência», em que são analisadas diferentes possibilidades de incentivar e apoiar uma presidência sustentável do regime. A UE continuará a debater as várias opções com os membros do regime. No contexto do regime, a UE tem desde sempre apoiado a adoção de declarações públicas firmes que reflitam as preocupações internacionais no que respeita aos lançamentos de mísseis balísticos e ao desenvolvimento significativo da tecnologia de mísseis no Irão e na RPDC. |
| --- | --- |

83.

ESPAÇO

| 84. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros continuaram a promover a preservação de um ambiente espacial seguro, protegido e sustentável e a utilização pacífica do espaço exterior, numa base equitativa e mutuamente aceitável. A UE continuou a sublinhar a importância de tomar medidas de transparência e criação de confiança e a necessidade de, no quadro das Nações Unidas, defender um comportamento responsável no espaço exterior, tendo emitido declarações a esse respeito na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros continuaram fortemente empenhados na prevenção de uma corrida às armas no espaço exterior, essencial para reforçar a segurança e a estabilidade internacionais e para salvaguardar a utilização a longo prazo do ambiente espacial para fins pacíficos. Continuámos a manifestar a nossa preocupação ante o desenvolvimento de todas as armas e capacidades antissatélite, inclusive de base terrestre, e sublinhamos a importância de o contrariar rapidamente, no âmbito dos esforços internacionais que visam impedir uma corrida às armas no espaço exterior. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros reafirmaram a sua satisfação com a adoção do preâmbulo e das 21 orientações para a sustentabilidade a longo prazo das atividades no espaço exterior, adotados pelo Comité para a Utilização Pacífica do Espaço Exterior e aprovados em 2019 por resolução da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas (34). As orientações constituem um complemento importante das medidas tomadas no contexto do espaço exterior em matéria de transparência e criação de confiança (35). |
| --- | --- |

86.

| 87. | A UE e os seus Estados-Membros congratularam-se com a adoção de uma nova resolução sobre a redução das ameaças através de comportamentos responsáveis (36), o que constitui um passo oportuno para minorar as ameaças e os riscos relacionados com o espaço exterior e promover um comportamento responsável nesse espaço, nomeadamente no âmbito das Nações Unidas. Incentivaram todos os países a colaborar de forma construtiva para chegarem a um entendimento comum sobre o conceito de comportamento responsável no espaço exterior, para o qual a UE, em conjunto, contribuirá também. |
| --- | --- |

87.

CLÁUSULAS DE NÃO PROLIFERAÇÃO DE ADM

| 88. | Em conformidade com a sua política de não proliferação de ADM, e em consonância com as conclusões do Conselho de 2003, a UE continuou a trabalhar na integração de compromissos em matéria de não proliferação de ADM nos acordos firmados com países parceiros. Em 2020, foram igualmente conduzidas negociações com o Reino Unido para esse efeito, na perspetiva da preparação do Brexit e das futuras relações entre a UE e o Reino Unido. Em conformidade com a decisão conjunta da UE e de Cuba sobre a aplicação provisória de certas partes do novo acordo UE-Cuba, teve lugar em Bruxelas, em março de 2019, o primeiro diálogo alguma vez encetado entre a UE e Cuba sobre a não proliferação de ADM, com base na cláusula do novo acordo respeitante às ADM. Em setembro de 2020, teve lugar um segundo diálogo, desta vez em linha. |
| --- | --- |

88.

OUTRAS INSTÂNCIAS MULTILATERAIS

G7

| 89. | A UE continuou a participar ativamente nas reuniões do Grupo dos Diretores do G7 encarregados da não proliferação. Em 2020, participou nas reuniões presididas pelos Estados Unidos que se articularam em torno de questões atuais de não proliferação e desarmamento, bem como da realização de novos progressos na coordenação dos trabalhos do Grupo dos Diretores do G7 encarregados da não proliferação e da Parceria Mundial do G7 contra a Proliferação de Armas de Destruição Maciça e de Materiais Conexos, em particular através do estabelecimento de uma ligação mais estreita entre as prioridades estratégicas e as atividades do projeto. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | A UE continua empenhada na Parceria Mundial contra a Proliferação de Armas de Destruição Maciça e de Materiais Conexos, especialmente através da assistência técnica (avaliação da ameaça, planos de ação nacionais) prestada em todo o mundo pela Iniciativa Centros de Excelência da UE para a atenuação dos riscos QBRN. Com o novo projeto LABPLUS AFRICA, a iniciativa contribuirá igualmente para a execução do projeto-piloto liderado pela Parceria Mundial, uma iniciativa emblemática destinada a atenuar as ameaças biológicas em África. |
