Gadskārtējais progresa ziņojums par to, kā tiek īstenota Eiropas Savienības Stratēģija masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (2020)

(2021/C 298/01)

IEVADS

| 1. | Šis progresa ziņojums par to, kā tiek īstenota Eiropadomes 2003. gada decembrī pieņemtā Eiropas Savienības Stratēģija masu iznīcināšanas ieroču (MII) izplatīšanas novēršanai (dok. 15708/03) attiecas uz 2020. gadā veiktajām darbībām. Ziņojums nav izsmeļošs, un tajā uzmanība tiek pievērsta galvenajām norisēm. Visas darbības tika veiktas plašākā ES drošības politikas un ES Drošības savienības stratēģijas 2020.–2025. gadam kontekstā. |

| 2. | 2020. gads bija bezprecedenta gads – Covid-19 pandēmija nopietni ietekmēja daudzpusējo darbu, galvenokārt ceļošanas ierobežojumu dēļ. Kaut gan virkne daudzpusējo sanāksmju (īpaši – Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) 10. pārskatīšanas konference) tika atliktas, daudzas citas sanāksmes bija iespējams rīkot tiešsaistē. Tādējādi varēja turpināties daudzpusējās diskusijas, vienlaikus konstatējot, ka videokonferences formāts ierobežo savstarpējo saziņu. Tā kā lielākā daļa ES darba MII jomā notiek daudzpusējos forumos, tas radīja jaunus izaicinājumus. |

| 3. | Pamatojoties uz Globālo Eiropas Savienības ārpolitikas un drošības politikas stratēģiju (dok. 10715/16), Eiropas Savienības stratēģiju MII izplatīšanas novēršanai un Jaunajām darbības līnijām (dok. 17172/08), Eiropas Savienības pamatprincipi joprojām ir šādi:






  a. | ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegtu finansiālu atbalstu panākt efektīvu multilaterālismu, tostarp sargāt globālās neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās arhitektūras centrālo lomu un veicināt tās universālumu; |

Īpašā sūtne galvenokārt pievērsās šādiem aspektiem:

| a. | sekmēt to, ka tiek saglabāts un stiprināts Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgums, kas ir fundamentāls multilaterālisma instruments starptautiskā miera, drošības un stabilitātes stiprināšanai; |

| 5. | ES Padomes MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa (CONOP) 2020. gadā tikās deviņas reizes, lai apspriestu ES nostājas un turpmākās darbības, tostarp viena tikšanās notika direktoru līmenī, bet septiņas no sanāksmēm notika ar neformālas videokonferences starpniecību pandēmijas dēļ. ES delegācijas Vīnē, Ženēvā un Ņujorkā sagatavoja un koordinēja desmitiem ES paziņojumu daudzpusējiem forumiem un regulārās ES koordinācijas sanāksmēs, kā arī piedaloties darba grupas sanāksmēs, aktīvi sekmēja politikas veidošanu. |

KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

| 6. | ES ir joprojām pilnībā apņēmusies veicināt universalizāciju un to, lai pilnībā, visaptveroši un efektīvi tiktu īstenots Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgums (KNL), stātos spēkā un tiktu universalizēts Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) un Atbruņošanās konferencē sāktu un drīz noslēgtu sarunas par Līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus (FMCT). Tāpat ES prioritāte joprojām ir no masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem un to nogādes sistēmām brīvas zonas izveide Tuvajos Austrumos. 2020. gadā turpinājās ES ieguldījums UNIDIR saskaņā ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2019/938 (1), ar ko atbalsta uzticības veicināšanas pasākumus, lai šādu zonu izveidotu. |

Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgums un Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra

| 7. | KNL pārskatīšanas ciklu bija paredzēts pabeigts 2020. gada aprīlī/maijā KNL desmitajā pārskatīšanas konferencē. Ņemot vērā globālo stāvokli veselības jomā un no tā izrietošos ceļošanas ierobežojumus, līgumslēdzējas puses 2020. gada martā vienojās pārcelt pārskatīšanas konferenci uz 2021. gada janvāri. Vēlāk pārskatīšanas konference tika provizoriski atlikta vēlreiz – uz 2021. gada augustu. ES piedalījās visās attiecīgajās debatēs gan virtuālā formātā, gan klātienē, tostarp vispārīgajās debatēs ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas Pirmās komitejas 75. sesijā par atbruņošanos un starptautisko drošību. |

7.

| 8. | 2020. gadā turpinājās Padomes Lēmuma (KĀDP) 2019/615 (2) īstenošana, proti, divus pasākumus veica ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs (UNODA): tematiskais seminārs par I pīlāru (kodolatbruņošanās), kas notika Ženēvā 29. un 30. janvārī, un tematiskais seminārs par II pīlāru (kodolieroču neizplatīšana), kas notika Ņujorkā 2. un 3. martā. Galvenais šā Padomes lēmuma mērķis ir palīdzēt sasniegt sekmīgu KNL pārskatīšanas konferences iznākumu un tādu reālistisku un izpildāmu rīcību un ieteikumu kopuma izstrādi, par kuriem varētu panākt konsensu. Divas atlikušās reģionālās sanāksmes, kuru mērķis būtu pievērsties visiem trim KNL pīlāriem, tos aplūkojot reģionālo prioritāšu un problemātikas gaismā, nebija iespējams sarīkot. 2020. gada jūnijā Padomes Lēmums (KĀDP) 2019/615 par Savienības atbalstu darbībām pirms pārskatīšanas konferences tika pagarināts līdz 2021. gada 16. aprīlim ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2020/906 (3), neradot izmaksas. |

| 9. | ES turpināja atbalstīt Starptautiskās Atomenerģijas aģentūras (SAEA) pamatpienākumus attiecībā uz neizplatīšanu, kodoldrošumu, kodoldrošību, kodolenerģijas pielietojumiem un tehnisko sadarbību, tostarp ar attiecīgu finansiālu atbalstu. ES un Euratom aktīvi piedalījās visās SAEA vadības struktūru sanāksmēs; ES koordinācija notika Vīnē. SAEA 64. vispārējā konferencē 2020. gada septembrī uz vienprātības pamata tika pieņemtas divas ES atbalstītas rezolūcijas – par kodolgarantijām un kodoldrošību. |

| 11. | SAEA arī turpināja sekmīgi īstenot Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2016/2001 (2016. gada 15. novembris) par Savienības ieguldījumu Mazbagātināta urāna (LEU) bankas izveidē un drošā pārvaldībā, kas ir SAEA kontrolē, saistībā ar ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (5). |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | Kopīgais pētniecības centrs (KPC) un SAEA turpināja īstenot “Praktisko sadarbības kārtību kodolenerģijas zinātnes pielietojumu jomā”, kas tika parakstīta līdztekus ES un SAEA piektajai augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmei (2017. gada 15. februārī) ar mērķi izstrādāt kopīgus pasākumus un novērst centienu dublēšanos. Viena no šajā praktiskās sadarbības kārtībā iekļautajām darbībām ir vides radioaktivitātes monitorings, kuru veic visā Eiropā un vairākās citās pasaules vietās, mērot gamma starojuma vidējo devu un maksimumus pēdējo 24 stundu laikā. Šo mērījumu pamatā ir dati no aptuveni 5 500 monitoringa stacijām, kuras ekspluatē kompetentās valstu iestādes 39 valstīs, kas jaunākos radioloģiskos mērījumus nodod Eiropas Radioloģisko datu apmaiņas platformai (EURDEP). Paziņojumus par radiācijas noplūdēm vai ārkārtas situācijām nodod, izmantojot agrīno paziņojumu tīklus, piemēram, ECURIE vai EMERCON, kuru operators attiecīgi ir Eiropas Komisija un SAEA, pēc konsultēšanās ar kompetentajām valstu iestādēm. |

12.

| 13. | Būtisks globālās kodolneizplatīšanas arhitektūras elements un daudzpusējās diplomātijas sasniegums ir Kopīgais visaptverošais rīcības plāns (KVRP). Eiropas drošībai ir svarīgi, lai vienošanās tiktu pilnībā īstenota. ES vairākkārt ir paudusi nožēlu par to, ka Irāna samazina savas saistības saskaņā ar KVRP – process, kas sākās 2019. gada jūlijā un turpinājās visu 2020. gadu. ES Augstais pārstāvis, būdams KVRP Apvienotās komisijas koordinators, joprojām ir apņēmības pilns strādāt ar starptautisko sabiedrību, lai saglabātu KVRP un nodrošinātu KVRP pilnīgu īstenošanu. Mēs esam pauduši atzinību par iespēju, ka ASV varētu atgriezties KVRP un Irāna varētu atsākt KVRP pilnīgu īstenošanu, un atbalstām notiekošos spraigos diplomātiskos centienus un ES Augstā pārstāvja kontaktus ar visiem nozīmīgajiem partneriem. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Vienlaikus ES arī turpina sekmēt KVRP īstenošanu, koordinējot Apvienotās komisijas un vairāku KVRP paspārnē izveidoto ekspertu līmeņa darba grupu darbu. ES arī turpina atbalstīt SAEA ilgtermiņa misiju – pārbaudīt un uzraudzīt saistības, ko Irāna uzņēmusies kodoljomā. Neskatoties uz Covid izraisītajiem ierobežojumiem, ES turpina sadarboties ar Irānu civilās kodolenerģijas jomā saskaņā ar KVRP III pielikumu saistībā ar kodoldrošumu. Pilnībā darboties turpina KVRP iepirkuma režīms, kurā tiek izvērtēta kodolmateriālu vai divējāda lietojuma preču nodošana Irānai. 2020. gadā iepirkuma jautājumu darba grupa tikās septiņas reizes, un negatīvā tendence saistībā ar priekšlikumiem, kas bija vērojama 2019. gadā, tika apvērsta. Irāna joprojām bija galvenais ES palīdzības saņēmējs kodoldrošuma jomā. ES un Irānas sadarbība kodoljomā ietver atbalstu Arak pētniecības reaktora (Khondab) modernizācijai, Irānas kodoldrošuma regulatoram (INRA), SAEA pārbaužu un uzraudzības veikšanai Irānā, noturības testiem Bushehr atomelektrostacijai un aprīkojuma piegādei Irānas INRA kodoldrošuma centram. |

14.

| 15. | Visaptverošie garantiju nolīgumi kopā ar papildprotokoliem ir pašreizējais pārbaužu standarts, un ES turpina aicināt tos vispārēji ievērot. Ciešā Euratom un SAEA sadarbība ļauj nodrošināt efektīvas un iedarbīgas garantijas. ES ar Eiropas Komisijas Garantiju atbalsta programmu (EKGAP), Instrumentu sadarbībai kodoldrošuma jomā un dalībvalstu atbalsta programmām aktīvi atbalsta SAEA garantiju sistēmu. EKGAP iepriekš stiprināja SAEA kodolgarantiju spējas, tostarp spējas pārbaudīt KVRP īstenošanu arī, nodrošinot SAEA kodolgarantiju inspektoru apmācību par papildu piekļuvi (Complementary Access) un par to, kā izmantot COMPUCEA procedūru (Combined Procedure for Uranium Concentration and Enrichment Assay – Kombinētā urāna koncentrācijas un bagātināšanas testa procedūra), lai verificētu UF6 bagātināšanu. EKGAP atbalsta SAEA analītisko laboratoriju tīklu KVRP pārbaudes pilnvaru īstenošanā, nodrošinot analītiskus pakalpojumus, standartizētas metodes un kvalitātes kontroles rīkus. Jo īpaši daļiņu analīze un atsauces daļiņu sagatavošana un sertificēšana palīdz SAEA analītisko laboratoriju tīklam izstrādāt jaunas metodes un mērījumu procedūras vidē novilktu paraugu analīzei saskaņā ar papildprotokolu. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | Eiropas Komisija turpina vadīt un aktīvi atbalstīt Eiropas Kodolgarantiju pētniecības un attīstības asociāciju (ESARDA), kura arī turpina izvērst savu starptautisko kontaktēšanās darbību, izmantojot saprašanās memorandus ar Āfrikas komisiju kodolenerģijas jautājumos un Āzijas un Klusā okeāna reģiona kodolgarantiju tīklu un cieši sadarbojoties ar Kodolmateriālu apsaimniekošanas institūtu. ESARDA darba grupas izstrādā, testē un apstiprina inovatīvus garantiju pasākumus un neizplatīšanas pieejas, kas dod tiešu labumu Enerģētikas ģenerāldirektorāta (ENER ĢD) Kodolgarantiju direktorātam un Starptautiskās Atomenerģijas aģentūras Garantiju departamentam. Neraugoties uz Covid izraisītajiem ierobežojumiem, notika attālināta Euratom inspektoru tehniskā apmācība par urāna bagātināšanu, plutonija izotopu sastāva verifikāciju un lāzerkartēšanu ierobežošanas verifikācijas vajadzībām (LMCV). Pirms pandēmijas arī notika apmācība par neitronu uzskaiti. Tomēr 2020. gadā tika atcelti ierastie ESARDA kursi par kodolgarantijām un neizplatīšanu, un tika sagatavoti plaši scenāriji kursu 2021. gada laidienam (2021. gada 12.–16. aprīlī). Pētniecības un izstrādes rezultāti un izglītības un apmācības iniciatīvas bagātina Eiropas un starptautiskās spējas kodolgarantiju un stratēģiskās tirdzniecības kontroles jomā. Uz šā darba pamata bija iespējams sekmēt kodoldrošības un kodolatbruņošanās iniciatīvas. Eiropas Komisijas KPC guva pieredzi attālinātā tehniskajā apmācībā kodolgarantiju inspektoriem, kura tika nodota SAEA trīspusējās (SAEA, Euratom un JRC) sanāksmēs. Tradicionālā ESARDA maija sanāksme Luksemburgā tika pārcelta uz 2020. gada novembri, un to virtuālā formātā ar 270 dalībniekiem līdzorganizēja IRSN. ESARDA šobrīd gatavo pirmo apvienoto ikgadējo sanāksmi ar Kodolmateriālu apsaimniekošanas institūtu, kura ir ieplānota kā virtuāls pasākums 2021. gada augusta beigās. |

16.

| 17. | Eiropas Komisija ir finansējusi plašu apmācības un izglītības projektu kodolgarantiju jomā kopā ar Eiropas kodolenerģijas jomas izglītības tīklu (European Nuclear Education Network – ENEN). Saskaņā ar šo līgumu ENEN sadarbojas ar Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), KPC, ESARDA un SAEA, lai izveidotu pirmo akadēmisko pēcdiploma programmu par kodolgarantijām 2021./2022. akadēmiskajam gadam. Notiek speciāla studentu piesaistes kampaņa ārpus Eiropas, un ir apzināti 35 kompetenti lektori kursu pasniegšanai. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | Padome, pamatojoties uz Eiropas Ārējās darbības dienesta (EĀDD) priekšlikumu, ir lēmusi 2020. gadā sniegt ieguldījumu SAEA garantiju sistēmas konkrētu elementu universalizācijā, īpaši pievēršoties grozītajam Nelielu daudzumu protokolam (SQP) un papildprotokolam, trešās valstīs (6) īstenojot virkni demaršu. Minēto demaršu iesniegšana sākās 2020. gada decembrī. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | ES un dalībvalstis uzskata, ka ir ārkārtīgi svarīgi pasaules mērogā īstenot un nepārtraukti uzlabot kodoldrošību. ES ar grozīto Kodoldrošuma direktīvu, kas stājās spēkā 2017. gadā, ir piešķīrusi juridisku spēku Vīnes kodoldrošuma deklarācijas mērķiem. Viens no grozītās direktīvas galvenajiem elementiem ir drošuma mērķa ieviešana attiecībā uz visiem ekspluatantiem, lai novērstu negadījumus un izvairītos no būtiskiem radioaktīviem izmešiem. Ar grozīto direktīvu Euratom tiesību akti tiek papildināti arī ar tematiskām salīdzinošām novērtēšanām. Pirmā Eiropas tematiskā salīdzinošā novērtēšana ir sekmīgi īstenota. Visas ES dalībvalstis jaunās prasības ir transponējušas savos valstu tiesību aktos. |

| 20. | Lai veicinātu kodolenerģijas izmantošanu miermīlīgiem mērķiem, ES laikposmā no 2014. līdz 2020. gadam ir piešķīrusi EUR 325 miljonus tam, lai sekmētu kodoldrošumu, aizsardzību pret radiāciju un efektīvu un iedarbīgu garantiju piemērošanu trešās valstīs. Eiropas Komisija, sadarbojoties ar SAEA un citiem partneriem, atbalsta stratēģiskā ģenerālplāna īstenošanu vides atveseļošanai Vidusāzijā, ko paredzēts finansēt no īpaša ERAB pārvaldīta Vides atveseļošanas fonda. Būdama lielākā līdzekļu devēja, ES turpina sadarboties ar saņēmējvalstīm (Kirgizstānu, Tadžikistānu un Uzbekistānu), lai veicinātu iesaistīšanos un sāktu konkrētus sanācijas un atveseļošanas projektus. |

Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu

| 23. | Svarīgi ES Stratēģijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai mērķi ir panākt CTBT stāšanos spēkā un tā universalizāciju. Visas ES dalībvalstis, ratificējot līgumu un piemērojot tajā noteiktos pamatpienākumus, ir apliecinājušas, ka tās iestājas par CTBT. CTBT ir spēcīgs uzticības un drošības veicināšanas pasākums. 2020. gadā ES iesaistījās diplomātiskos pasākumos CTBT atbalstam, kuri bija pielāgoti pandēmijas dēļ ierobežotajām iespējām. CTBT stāšanās spēkā veicināšana bija viens no pasākumiem saistībā ar ANO ģenerālsekretāra dokumentu “Mūsu kopīgās nākotnes nodrošināšana. Atbruņošanās programma”, ko ES nolēma atbalstīt. ES paziņojumos attiecīgos forumos un divpusējos kontaktos ar attiecīgajām II pielikuma valstīm un valstīm, kas nav II pielikuma valstis, ir vairākkārt aicinājusi līgumu ratificēt. Papildus minētajiem paziņojumiem 2020. gada 6. oktobrī īpašā sūtne neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos piedalījās kā paneļa eksperte piedalījās vebinārā “CTBT un KNL 10. pārskatīšanas konference”, kuru organizēja CTBT organizācija (CTBTO). |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | ES konsekventi veicina ieguvumus un ieguldījumu, ko līgums dod miera, drošības, atbruņošanās un neizplatīšanas labā, tostarp attiecībā uz civilajiem lietojumiem. 2020. gadā ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2020/901 (7) par Savienības atbalstu CTBTO sagatavošanas komisijas darbībām ES uz vēl trim gadiem pagarināja finansiālo atbalstu CTBTO sagatavošanas komisijai, lai nostiprinātu tās uzraudzības un pārbaudes spējas. ES un tās dalībvalstis arī deva ieguldījumu CTBT pārbaudes režīma uzturēšanā un stiprināšanā, nodrošinot tehnisku atbalstu, spēju veidošanu un atvieglinot ekspertu līdzdalību CTBTO sanāksmēs, jo īpaši attiecībā uz jaunattīstības valstīm. ES aktīvi piedalījās CTBTO sagatavošanas komisijas un tās darba grupu “A” un “B” sanāksmēs; ES koordinācija tika īstenota ar CONOP starpniecību Vīnē. |

Iniciatīvas saistībā ar kodoldrošību

| 25. | ES atbalstīja to, ka tiek sasaukta Starptautiskā kodoldrošības konference (ICONS 2020, notika 2020. gada februārī), un tās iznākumu. Ministru deklarācijā atkārtoti pausta apņemšanās uzturēt un stiprināt visu kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu un iekārtu efektīvu un visaptverošu kodoldrošību, un atzīta SAEA centrālā loma starptautiskās sadarbības sekmēšanā un koordinēšanā kodoldrošības jomā. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | ES turpināja popularizēt Starptautisko konvenciju par kodolterorisma apkarošanu (ICSANT) un grozījumu Konvencijā par kodolmateriālu fizisko aizsardzību (ACPPNM) kā globālās kodoldrošības un terorisma apkarošanas arhitektūras pamatelementus. ANO Narkotiku un noziedzības novēršanas birojs (UNODC) un ANO Terorisma apkarošanas birojs (UNOCT) turpināja īstenot Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/1939 par Savienības atbalstu ICSANT universalizācijai un efektīvai īstenošanai (8). Padomes lēmuma mērķi ir palielināt ICSANT konvencijai pievienojušos pušu skaitu, vairot valsts politikas veidotāju un lēmumu pieņēmēju informētību, kā arī veidot spējas: lai palīdzētu uzlabot valstu tiesību aktus un stiprināt valstu ieinteresēto personu, tostarp krimināljustīcijas amatpersonu, spējas izmeklēt, izvirzīt apsūdzību un izskatīt kodolterorisma lietas. Vairāki 2020. gadā paredzētie pasākumi tika atlikti vai arī sekmīgi noturēti virtuālā formātā sakarā ar pandēmiju. |
| --- | --- |

26.

| 27. | ES turpināja atbalstīt Globālo kodolterorisma apkarošanas iniciatīvu (GICNT) un tās pamatuzdevumu – stiprināt globālās spējas novērst un atklāt kodolterorismu un reaģēt uz to. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | ES un tās dalībvalstis ir aktīvi iesaistījušās GICNT darbā visās jomās – kodolatklāšanā, kodolkriminālistikā, reaģēšanā un seku mazināšanā. |
| --- | --- |

28.

| 29. | Kopš 2013. gada Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstu un partnervalstu – tostarp vairāku GICNT dalībnieku – vajadzībām darbību pilnībā ir izvērsis ES Kodoldrošības mācību centrs saistībā ar kodolmateriāliem un citiem radioaktīviem materiāliem veiktu nelikumīgu darbību atklāšanai un reaģēšanai (EUSECTRA). Šī centra darbību ciešā sadarbībā ar citām starptautiskām iniciatīvām, ko sekmē SAEA un vairākas GICNT partnervalstis, nodrošina ES Kopīgais pētniecības centrs (KPC) savos objektos Karlsrūē (Vācijā) un Isprā (Itālijā). Centru izmanto arī praktiskām mācībām, kas galvenokārt saistītas ar vēršanos pret kodolmateriālu kontrabandu. EUSECTRA aktīvi nodarbojas ar ES dalībvalstu un ES partneru apmācības vajadzībām, tostarp dalībvalstu deleģētajiem pārstāvjiem paredzētajām koordinētajām apmācībām muitas un tiesībaizsardzības jomā, kuras jau ir īstenotas un plānotas 2019.–2021. gadam (tiešā sadarbībā ar Komisijas Migrācijas un iekšlietu ģenerāldirektorātu (HOME) un Nodokļu politikas un muitas savienības ģenerāldirektorātu (TAXUD)). EUSECTRA pastiprina infrastruktūru, ko izmanto, lai īstenotu apmācību, izstrādā virtuālus mācīšanās rīkus un sniedz novērtējumu par ekipējuma veiktspēju, ja to lūgušas ES dalībvalstis. Pandēmija ir ierobežojusi apmācību klātienē. Izmantojot mūsdienīgus līdzekļus ir izstrādāta jaukta pieeja, kurā īpaša uzmanība pievērsta lauka mācībām, attālināti izmantojot instrumentus un reālajā dzīvē izmantojot kodolmateriālus un radioaktīvos materiālus nolūkā uzturēt centienus, ar ko vēršas pret ķīmiska, bioloģiska, radioloģiska un nukleāra rakstura draudiem un kodolterorismu. |

29.

| 30. | Eiropas Komisija un ES dalībvalstis KPC objektā Karlsrūē (Vācijā), izmantojot modernākās kodolkriminālistikas spējas, turpināja kodolkriminālistikas darbības, lai apzinātu pārtverto kodolmateriālu iezīmes. |
| --- | --- |

30.

| 31. | KPC un ESARDA deva ievērojamu ieguldījumu 2020. gadā izdotajā grāmatā par kodolieroču neizplatīšanu un bruņojuma kontroles verifikāciju – inovatīvām sistēmu koncepcijām. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | Eiropas Komisija ar savas programmas ITRAP+10 II fāzi turpināja veidot ES dalībvalstu spējas testēt un izvērtēt tāda aprīkojuma veiktspēju, ko izmanto kodolmateriālu un radioaktīvu materiālu nelikumīgas tirdzniecības atklāšanai, kā rezultātā notiks vēl lielāka saskaņošana un standartizācija un tiks ievērojami sekmēti starptautiskie standarti. Šajā pašā nolūkā Komisija arī rīkoja labi apmeklētu papildpasākumu līdztekus Starptautiskajai kodoldrošības konferencei (ICONS 2020). |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Eiropas Komisijai arvien vēl ir nozīmīga loma Robežuzraudzības jautājumu darba grupā saistībā ar kodoldrošību. Tā vadīja gan darba grupas, gan divu apakšgrupu sanāksmes par atklāšnas tehnoloģijām un spēju veidošanu. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Eiropas Komisija turpināja pētniecību jaunu nesagraujošā testa paņēmienu izstrādei, proti, aizkavētas gamma spektrometrijas izmantošanai kodolmateriālu īpašo iezīmju verifikācijai sadarbībā ar SAEA. Tika iesniegta vienota rīcība (KPC un SAEA) saskaņā ar SAEA atbalsta programmu. |

34.

| 35. | 2020. gadā TAXUD ar KPC un EUSECTRA atbalstu laida klajā interaktīvu e-mācību programmu, lai palīdzētu muitas amatpersonām pilnveidot zināšanas par robežkontroli saistībā ar radioaktīviem un kodolmateriāliem. Pamatmodulī ir parādīta muitas amatpersonu svarīgā loma kodolmateriālu un radioaktīvu materiālu atklāšanā, informējot tās par riskiem un apdraudējumu, kā arī tiek sniegts elementārs ievads par attiecīgajiem materiāliem, ekipējumu un procesiem. Augstākā līmeņa modelī tie paši temati tiek aplūkoti detalizētāk. Abos kursos tiek izmantoti reālistiski scenāriji, kas norisinās jūras ostās, lidostās, uz dzelzceļiem un sauszemes robežām, un tajos kursu dalībnieki var pārbaudīt savas lēmumu pieņemšanas spējas. Sadarbība starp TAXUD ģenerāldirektorātu un KPC ir nesusi lielāku sinerģiju starp dalībvalstu muitas administrācijām. Apmācības kursi, kas pasniegti EUSECTRA centrā kalpos par platformu, kurā valstu ekspertiem apmainīties paraugpraksē kodoldrošības jomā saistībā ar robežu aizsardzību, tādējādi palīdzot izstrādāt saskaņotas procedūras. Tas ietilpst centienos apkarot kodolmateriālu nelegālu tirdzniecību sadarbīgā veidā un atvieglot tirdzniecību, izmantojot muitas kontrolpunktus. Galīgais mērķis ir nepieļaut, ka personas var piekļūt kaitīgiem materiāliem, un to panāktu, veicinot kopīgu kodoldrošības kultūru. |

Iniciatīvas saistībā ar kodolpārbaudi

| 36. | ES un tās dalībvalstis Ģenerālajā asamblejā 2016. gadā atbalstīja valdības ekspertu grupas (VEG) izveidi kodolatbruņošanās pārbaužu jomā, atzinīgi uzņēma diskusijas ekspertu grupā un piekrita ieteikumam turpināt darbu, ņemot vērā VEG ziņojumu. ES pilnībā atbalsta ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas Rezolūciju 74/50 un to, ka tiek veidota jauna valdības ekspertu grupa, kas sanāks 2021. un 2022. gadā, lai turpinātu izskatīt pārbaužu nozīmi kodolatbruņošanās veicināšanā. ES atbalsta plašāku partnerību darbu un sadarbībā balstītus pārbaudes mehānismus un ir piedalījusies Starptautiskās partnerības kodolatbruņošanās pārbaužu jomā (IPNDV) darbā kopš tās darbības sākšanas 2015. gadā. Saistībā ar ANO ģenerālsekretāra dokumentu “Mūsu kopīgās nākotnes nodrošināšana. Atbruņošanās programma” ES arī atbalsta rīcības punktu attiecībā uz kodolatbruņošanās pārbaudēm. |

Reģionālie jautājumi

| 37. | ES un dalībvalstis turpināja mudināt KTDR veikt konkrētus pasākumus, lai tā pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski atteiktos no MII un ballistisko raķešu programmām. Tas atspoguļojās visos attiecīgajos ES paziņojumos. ES Korejas Tautas Demokrātiskās Republikas (KTDR) ballistisko raķešu palaišanu 2020. gada martā un aprīlī uzskatīja par vairāku ANO Drošības padomes rezolūciju pārkāpumu, kas nopietni apdraud reģionālo un starptautisko mieru un drošību un vājina starptautiskos centienus panākt ilgstošu mieru un drošību Korejas pussalā. Šķietami jaunu raķešu demonstrēšana oktobrī un KTDR apgalvojumi, ka tā vairs neuzskata par pienākumu ievērot kodolieroču un starpkontinentālo ballistisko raķešu izmēģinājumu moratoriju, vēl vairāk pasliktināja apstākļus dialoga atsākšanai. ES aicināja KTDR nekavējoties apturēt visas raķešu palaišanas, iesaistīties jēgpilnās sarunās, veikt konkrētus un ticamus pasākumus, lai vairotu uzticēšanos un paļāvību un pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski atteiktos no visām kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmām. ES turpināja mudināt KTDR pilnībā ievērot visas attiecīgās ANO Drošības padomes rezolūcijas un citus savus starptautiskos pienākumus un saistības, nekavējoties parakstīt un ratificēt CTBT un atsākt pildīt garantiju pienākumus saskaņā ar KNL. ES visas Drošības padomes rezolūcijas ir ātri transponējusi ES tiesību aktos un arī ir pieņēmusi stingras autonomas sankcijas, kas papildina un pastiprina ANO pieņemtās sankcijas. ES turpināja centienus mudināt citas valstis pilnībā īstenot sankcijas pret KTDR. EĀDD runaspersonas 16. jūnija paziņojumā tika pausta nožēla par KTDR rīcību, kas izraisīja spriedzi, un mudināts atsākt noturīgu diplomātisko procesu ar mērķi veidot uzticēšanos un pēc iespējas drīz panākt ilgstošu mieru un drošību Korejas pussalā, kas brīva no kodolieročiem. |

Atbruņošanās konference (CD) / Līgums par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus

| 38. | ES joprojām ir vienota un apņēmības pilna panākt pārbaudāmu līgumos balstītu kodolatbruņošanos un ieroču kontroli un uzsver vajadzību atjaunot daudzpusējos centienus un daudzpusējās sarunu vešanas struktūras, jo īpaši Atbruņošanās konferenci (CD). Ilglaicīga ES prioritāte Atbruņošanās konferencē ir nekavējoties sākt sarunas attiecībā uz līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču vai citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus (FMCT). ES atbalsta šādu sarunu sākšanu saskaņā ar dokumentu CD/1299 un tajā ietvertajām pilnvarām. ES aicina visus CD dalībniekus nekavējoties sākt sarunas par FMCT un sākt darbu pie citiem darba kārtības jautājumiem. Ar 2017. gada 11. decembra Padomes Lēmumu (ES) 2017/2284 (9) ES sniedz finansiālu atbalstu ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojam (UNODA), lai Āfrikas, Āzijas un Latīņamerikas un Karību jūras reģiona valstīm atvieglotu dalību ar Skaldmateriālu ražošanas aizlieguma līgumu (FMCT) saistītās konsultācijās un citās darbībās. ES arī mudina visas valstis, kurām ir kodolieroči un kuras to vēl nav darījušas, pasludināt un ievērot tūlītēju moratoriju attiecībā uz kodolieroču vai citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētu skaldmateriālu ražošanu, ja tās to vēl nav darījušas. ES dalībvalsts, kas ir kodolieroču valsts, ir paziņojusi par attiecīgiem moratorijiem un demontējusi šādas iekārtas. |

ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

| 39. | ES turpināja politiski, diplomātiski un finansiāli atbalstīt Ķīmisko ieroču aizlieguma organizāciju (OPCW), lai nodrošinātu Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas (CWC) pilnīgu un efektīvu īstenošanu un vispārēju ievērošanu. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Šajā sakarā turpinājās Padomes Lēmuma (KĀDP) 2019/538 (10) (2019. gada 1. aprīlis) īstenošana. Lēmumā paredzēts ES atbalsts OPCW galvenajām darbībām (piemēram, valsts veiktu īstenošanu, starptautisko sadarbību, universalizāciju, Āfrikas programmu) laikposmā no 2019. līdz 2022. gadam. Lēmumā arī paredzēts būtisks ieguldījums OPCW laboratorijas modernizācijā, pārveidojot to par Ķīmijas un tehnoloģiju centru, kā arī Lēmuma C-SS-4/DEC.3 “Ķīmisko ieroču apdraudējuma novēršana” īstenošanā, kuru CWC līgumslēdzēju valstu konference pieņēma īpašajā sesijā 2018. gada 27. jūnijā. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | ES stingri atbalstīja OPCW faktu vākšanas misijas (FFM), deklarācijas izvērtēšanas grupas (DAT) un izmeklēšanas un identificēšanas grupas (IIT) darbu, kas saistīts ar ziņojumu par ķīmisko ieroču izmantošanu Sīrijā izmeklēšanu, centieniem risināt apzinātos trūkumus un nekonsekvenci Sīrijas sākotnējā deklarācijā, kā arī izmeklēšanas veikšanu un vainīgo apzināšanu saistībā ar ķīmisko ieroču uzbrukumiem Sīrijā. Šajā sakarā tika turpināts īstenot Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/2303, kas grozīts ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2019/2112, par atbalstu tam, lai turpinātu īstenot ANO Drošības padomes Rezolūciju 2118 (2013) un OPCW Izpildpadomes lēmumu EC-M-33/DEC.1 par Sīrijas ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanu (11), proti, OPCW Sīrijā veikto operāciju atbalstam paredzēts nodrošināt satelītattēlus. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | Atbilstoši Eiropadomes 2018. gada 28. jūnija secinājumiem, kuros ES apņēmās atbalstīt Lēmuma C-SS-4/DEC.3 īstenošanu, kuru Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas līgumslēdzēju valstu īpašajā sesijā 2018. gada 27. jūnijā pieņēma, lai izveidotu attiecināšanas mehānismu, reaģējot uz šo ieroču atkārtotu izmantošanu kopš 2012. gada, un lai nodrošinātu to, ka tiek pieņemts OPCW 2021. gada programmas un budžeta projekts, ES nāca klajā ar demaršu, vēršoties pie liela skaita CWC līgumslēdzēju valstu, kurām tā lūdza piedalīties 2020. gada 30. novembrī un 1. decembrī notikušajā Līgumslēdzēju valstu 25. konferences (CSP-25) pirmajā daļā un atbalstīt tās veiksmīgu iznākumu. |

43.

BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

| 44. | ES un dalībvalstis stingri atbalsta Bioloģisko un toksīnus saturošo ieroču konvenciju (BTIK) un ir aktīvi iesaistījušās starptautiskos centienos uzlabot biodrošumu un biodrošību visā pasaulē. Ar vienotajām rīcībām un Padomes lēmumiem ES kopš 2006. gada BTIK atbalstam ir piešķīrusi aptuveni 10 miljonus EUR. Turklāt ES ir piešķīrusi vēl 6 miljonus EUR, lai atbalstītu biodrošuma un biodrošības stiprināšanu Ukrainā un vairākās Latīņamerikas valstīs, kā arī lai atbalstītu ANO ģenerālsekretāra mehānismu, kas paredzēts iespējamas ķīmisko, bioloģisko un toksīnus saturošo ieroču lietošanas izmeklēšanai. |

BALLISTISKĀS RAĶETES

Hāgas Rīcības kodekss

| 53. | Hāgas Rīcības kodekss pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) ir radies, starptautiskajai kopienai cenšoties panākt tādu ballistisko raķešu jomas regulējumu, kuras var izmantot masu iznīcināšanas ieroču nogādē. HCoC ir vienīgais daudzpusējais pārredzamības un uzticēšanās veicināšanas instruments saistībā ar ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu. Pievienojoties HCoC, dalībnieki brīvprātīgi pauž apņemšanos iepriekš brīdināt par ballistisko raķešu vai kosmisko nesējraķešu palaišanu un izmēģinājumu lidojumiem. Valstis, kas kodeksam ir pievienojušās, arī apņemas iesniegt ikgadējas deklarācijas par valsts ballistisko raķešu un kosmisko nesējraķešu politiku. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Eiropas Savienība kodeksu ir stingri atbalstījusi kopš tā izveides. Tam ir pievienojušās visas ES dalībvalstis. Kopš 2002. gada novembrī Hāgā (Nīderlandē) tika parakstīts un stājās spēkā politiski saistošais HCoC, tā parakstītāju skaits ir pieaudzis no 93 līdz 143 valstīm. Tas ir skaidrojams arī ar diplomātiskajiem sakariem, ko ES, lai atbalstītu kodeksa universalizāciju, uzturēja ar vairākām valstīm, kas nav pievienojušās Kodeksam. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | ES konsekventi veicina kodeksa universalitāti, pilnīgu īstenošanu un labāku darbību. Pēdējās desmitgades laikā ES Padome KĀDP satvarā ir pieņēmusi virkni lēmumu / vienotu rīcību, ar ko tiek atbalstīts Hāgas Rīcības kodekss un raķešu neizplatīšana vispār. Ar šiem Padomes lēmumiem ES finansē informēšanas pasākumus par HCoC, tostarp papildpasākumus, pētījumus, ekspertu sanāksmes un reģionālos informatīvos seminārus. Šos pasākumus, parasti iesaistot arī rotējošo HCoC priekšsēdētāju, veic Stratēģiskās pētniecības fonds (Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique), kura mītnes vieta ir Parīzē. |

55.

| 56. | Ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/2370 (19) (2017. gada 18. decembris) ES turpina veicināt pievienošanos kodeksam un gala rezultātā tā universalitāti; atbalstīt kodeksa pilnīgu īstenošanu; veicināt dialogu starp valstīm, kas pievienojušās kodeksam, un tām, kuras tam nav pievienojušās, ar mērķi palīdzēt veidot uzticēšanos un pārredzamību; veicināt savaldību un radīt lielāku stabilitāti un drošību visiem; pastiprināt kodeksa atpazīstamību un uzlabot sabiedrības informētību par riskiem un apdraudējumu, ko rada ballistisko raķešu izplatīšana; un izpētīt – jo īpaši ar akadēmisku pētījumu palīdzību – iespējas uzlabot kodeksu un veicināt sadarbību starp kodeksu un citiem attiecīgiem daudzpusējiem instrumentiem. |

APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA 1540 UN CBRN RISKU MAZINĀŠANA

| 58. | ANO Drošības padomes Rezolūcija 1540 (2004) joprojām ir viens no galvenajiem starptautiskās ieroču neizplatīšanas arhitektūras pīlāriem. Tā ir pirmais starptautiskais instruments, kurā integrētā un vispusīgā veidā pievēršas masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem (MII), to nogādes līdzekļiem un ar tiem saistītajiem materiāliem. ANO DPR 1540 (2004) ir paredzēti saistoši pienākumi visām valstīm. To mērķis ir novērst iespēju un atturēt no tādas iespējas, ka nevalstiski dalībnieki iegūst piekļuvi šādiem ieročiem, to nogādes līdzekļiem un ar ieročiem saistītiem materiāliem. Saskaņā ar Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Statūtu VII nodaļu pieņemtajā rezolūcijā ir prasīts, lai visas valstis pieņemtu vajadzīgos tiesību aktus, ar kuriem nevalstiskiem dalībniekiem liegtu iespēju iegūt kodolieročus un ķīmiskos vai bioloģiskos ieročus, un lai nelikumīgas tirdzniecības novēršanas nolūkā ieviestu pienācīgas iekšzemes kontroles attiecībā uz saistītajiem materiāliem. ANO DPR 1540 2016. gada visaptverošās pārskatīšanas process vēlreiz apstiprināja rezolūcijas centrālo lomu, nozīmīgumu un svaru, kā atspoguļots ANO DPR 2325. |

58.

| 59. | Lai palīdzētu īstenot 2016. gada visaptverošās pārskatīšanas rezultātus un sniegtu atbalstu ANO DPR 1540 pilnīgai īstenošanai, 2017. gada 11. maijā Padome pieņēma Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/809 (20), atbalstot Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Drošības padomes Rezolūcijas 1540 (2004) par masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un to nogādes līdzekļu neizplatīšanu īstenošanu. Padomes lēmums attiecas uz 48 mēnešu laikposmu, un to īsteno ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs (UNODA) Ņujorkā, kurš daļu īstenošanas ir uzticējis EDSO Vīnē. Ar ES finansējumu tiek palīdzēts valstīm noteikt konkrētu tehnisko palīdzību, uzlabot informētību par attiecīgām tehniskās palīdzības programmām, kā arī paplašināt sadarbību ar starptautiskām un reģionālām organizācijām, lai sniegtu atbalstu valstu spēju veidošanas centieniem. |

| 60. | Eiropas Komisijas Kopīgais pētniecības centrs (JRC) oficiāli nosūtīja Rezolūcijas Nr. 1540 komitejas priekšsēdētājam Stratēģiskās tirdzniecības atlanta (Strategic Trade Atlas) kopiju, ko kopīgi sagatavojis JRC un ASV Enerģētikas departamenta Argonas Nacionālā laboratorija. Stratēģiskās tirdzniecības atlantu izstrādāja, lai veicinātu izpratni par globālās tirdzniecības plūsmām ar stratēģiski nozīmīgām precēm, t. i., precēm ar militāri stratēģisku vērtību, tostarp divējāda lietojuma precēm. Atlants ir publicēts divos sējumos, sniedzot uz valstīm (21) un uz precēm (22) balstītu skatījumu par stratēģisko tirdzniecību. Stratēģisko tirdzniecības atlantu cita starpā izmanto Pasaules Muitas organizācija. Atlantu savā interešu lokā iekļāva Rezolūcijas Nr. 1540 Ekspertu grupa. |

| 61. | ES CBRN izcilības centru iniciatīva (CBRN CoE) tika izveidota 2010. gadā kā pasaules mēroga spēju veidošanas programma, lai mazinātu ar ķīmiskiem, bioloģiskiem, radioloģiskiem un nukleāriem materiāliem vai aģentiem saistītos riskus – neatkarīgi no tā, vai tiem ir tīša, negadījuma vai dabiska rakstura izcelsme – un riskus, kas saistīti ar iekārtām vai objektiem. Iniciatīva šobrīd apvieno 62 partnervalstis, kas sagrupētas ap astoņiem reģionāliem sekretariātiem, kuri atrodas šādos reģionos: Āfrikas Atlantijas piekrastes reģions, Centrālāzija, Austrumāfrika un Centrālā Āfrika, Persijas līča sadarbības padomes valstis. Tuvie Austrumi, Ziemeļāfrika un Sāhela, Dienvidaustrumāzija un Dienvidaustrumeiropa un Austrumeiropa. |

61.

| 62. | ES CBRN CoE saņem finansējumu no Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta (IcSP), kura darbības termiņš beidzās 2020. gadā un kuru ir paredzēts aizstāt ar Kaimiņattiecību, attīstības sadarbības un starptautiskās sadarbības instrumentu (NDICI) 2021.–2027. gadam. Saskaņā ar Eiropas Revīzijas palātas 2018. gada ziņojumu (SR14/2018, ERP) ES CBRN CoE ir guvusi panākumus ar CBRN materiāliem saistīto risku mazināšanā, uzlabojot spējas un sadarbību valsts un reģionālā līmenī un veicinot drošības un sadarbības kultūru. Iesaistītajām valstīm tiek sniegts atbalsts to centienos uz brīvprātības pamatiem un saskaņā ar pieprasījumā balstītu, reģionālu pieeju iedibināt nacionālas un reģionālas koordinācijas un pārvaldības struktūras. Šajās platformās tiek izstrādāta un stiprināta valstu politika CBRN jomā un veidotas spējas, pamatojoties uz specifiskām vajadzībām, riska izvērtējumiem un valstu rīcības plāniem. Platformas tiek atbalstītas ar vairākiem reģionāliem sadarbības projektiem, kurus finansē ar iniciatīvu un kuri ir atvērti citiem finansēšanas instrumentiem. Kopš 2010. gada ir finansēti 85 reģionāli projekti. Iniciatīvas budžets 10 gadu laikposmam, kas sākās 2010. gadā, ir aptuveni 250 miljoni EUR. |

62.

| 63. | Izcilības centru tīkls šobrīd ir labi attīstīts. Tas apliecināja savu noturību un ilgtspēju Covid-19 pandēmijas laikā, kad vairāki reģionālie sekretariāti sāka virkni tīmekļsemināru, lai apmainītos ar speciālajām zināšanām un dalītos pieredzē un paraugpraksē epidēmijas pārvaldības jomā. Ad hoc atbalsts vairākām valstīm palīdzēja tām ieviest piemērotas procedūras, lai atklātu pirmos infekcijas gadījumus. Ilgtermiņa palīdzība, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot Āfrikai, turpinās palielināt spējas agrīnā stadijā atklāt un uzraudzīt ļoti bīstamus patogēnus, izmantojot pieeju “Viena veselība”. Vairākos reģionos tiek izstrādāti reģionāli CBRN rīcības plāni, kā arī tiek attīstīta starpreģionāla sadarbība. Turklāt iniciatīva ir gana nobriedusi, lai sniegtu atbalstu turpmākām darbībām, ar ko risina drošības pārvaldības jautājumus saistībā ar kibernoziedzību, terorismu, kritisko infrastruktūru, viltotām zālēm, hibrīddraudiem un sprāgstvielām, kā arī lai turpinātu sadarbību kriminālistiskās kodolekspertīzes, robežkontroļu un divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroļu jomās. 2020. gadā ES CBRN izcilības centru tīkla ietvaros ES Kopīgais pētniecības centrs (JRC) sadarbībā ar ASV Enerģētikas departamentu un Kijevas Kodolpētījumu institūtu izstrādāja izglītības un apmācības pasākumus kodoldrošības jomā dalībniekiem no Gruzijas, Ukrainas, Azerbaidžānas un Moldovas Republikas nolūkā uzlabot kodoldrošību Melnās jūras reģionā un atbalstījas trīs ar kodoldrošību saistītu projektu īstenošanu t.s. GUAM valstīs (Gruzijā, Ukrainā, Azerbaidžānā un Moldovas Republikā). Ukrainā un Moldovas Republikā tika rīkotas lauka mācības, kuru pamatā bija kodolmateriālu kontrabandas scenāriji. Kijevas Kodolpētījumu institūts un Harkovas fizikas un tehnoloģiju institūts nodrošināja apmācību jaunajiem kodoldrošības speciālistiem. Turklāt tika izveidota reģionāla kodolkriminālistikas informācijas sistēma. Lai uzturētu kodolkriminālistikas spējas Melnās jūras reģionā, 2021. gadā paredzēts sākt trīs papildu projektus GUAM valstīm, kurus pārvaldīs STCU (Zinātnes un tehnoloģiju centrs Ukrainā). Turklāt tika izstrādāts Gruzijas un Armēnijas kodolkriminālistikas spēju veidošanas projekts, ko pārvaldīs ISTC (Starptautiskais Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centrs); arī šo projektu sāks 2021. gadā. |

63.

| 64. | Attiecībā uz CBRN draudu mazināšanas iekšējiem aspektiem 2019. gada beigās tika pārskatīts, kā tiek īstenots rīcības plāns, kura mērķis ir uzlabot sagatavotību pret ķīmiskiem, bioloģiskiem, radioloģiskiem un nukleāriem riskiem, ko Komisija 2017. gada oktobrī iesniedza kā daļu no plašākas terorisma apkarošanas paketes, un dokuments joprojām tiek uzskatīts par lietderīgu CBRN jomas politikas satvaru. 2020. gada Terorisma apkarošanas programmā ir pastiprināti daži CBRN aspekti, proti, attiecībā uz ķīmikāliju radīto apdraudējumu un biodrošību. Attiecībā uz ķimikāliju radīto apdraudējumu Komisija pašlaik izskata iespēju ierobežot piekļuvi dažām ķīmikālijām, ko var izmantot ļaunprātīgos nolūkos. Darbs CBRN atklāšanas jomā, tostarp Komisijas koordinētie dažu dalībvalstu veiktie ierīču izmēģinājumi, ir pavirzījies uz priekšu kā plānots. Tomēr dažas no 2019. gadā sāktajām CBRN darbībām 2020. gadā bija jāaptur; jo īpaši apmācību kampaņa ES tiesībaizsardzības iestādēm par radioloģiskajiem draudiem, kas tika īstenota Eiropas kodoldrošības mācību centrā (EUSECTRA) Karlsrūē, Vācijā. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Rīcības plāna īstenošanu atbalsta projekti, ko līdzfinansē Iekšējās drošības fonda policijas komponents. No izraudzītajām iniciatīvām uz CBRN politiku jo īpaši attiecas divas iniciatīvas. Viena no tām (Mall-CBRN) pievēršas CBRN aizsardzībai un gatavībai lielos tirdzniecības centros, savukārt otra (Safe Stadium) piemēro līdzīgu pieeju lielām sporta arēnām, jo īpaši futbola stadioniem. Viena no abu iniciatīvu priekšrocībām ir attiecīgo tiešo lietotāju klātbūtne konsorcijos, piemēram, futbola klubs Real Madrid. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | ES CBRN rīcības plāns ir saņēmis zinātnisku un tehnisku atbalstu no vairākiem pētniecības projektiem, ko 7. pamatprogrammas ietvaros finansē Drošas sabiedrības programmas ietvaros. Pētniecība attiecas uz visu krīžu pārvarēšanas ciklu, sākot no novēršanas līdz atjaunošanai. Ar pasākumiem standartizācijas vajadzību apzināšanai varētu panākt “Eiropas normu” standartu izstrādi. Ar programmu “Apvārsnis 2020” tiks pastiprināts pašreizējais CBRN pētniecības darbs, izmantojot mērķorientētus tematus. |

DOMNĪCAS

| 67. | Pamatojoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP (23) (2010. gada 26. jūlijs), ES ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konsorcijs, kas savu darbību uzsāka 2011. gada janvārī, ir aktīvi atbalstījis ES Stratēģijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai īstenošanu. Padome 2018. gada 26. februārī pieņēma Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/299 (24), ar ko vēl vairāk paplašina ES atbalstu konsorcija darbībām laikposmā no 2018. līdz 2021. gadam, balstoties uz līdz šim sasniegto un pievienojot jaunus projektus. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | Konsorcija darbība ir uzlabojusi ES pamanāmību trešās valstīs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā un ir būtiski palīdzējusi veidot ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomās. Konsorcijs nodrošina platformu neoficiālai praktiskā darba veicēju saziņai un sekmē dialogu starp dažādām ieinteresētajām personām. Tā darbība ir palīdzējusi skaidrāk apzināties problēmas, kas ir saistītas ar masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem un parastajiem ieročiem, un tās ietvaros ir pētīti risinājumi šīm problēmām. Konsorcija resurss ir plašs tīkls, kas sastāv no 99 domnīcām un pētniecības centriem visā Eiropā, tostarp dalībniekiem no visām ES dalībvalstīm, kā arī no tādām partnervalstīm kā Šveice, Turcija un Ukraina. 2020. gada gaitā tīklam pievienojās 9 institūti. |

| 69. | Visi konsorcija rīkotie pasākumi nodrošināja dalībnieku un lektoru daudzveidību dzimuma, vecuma, speciālo zināšanu un ģeogrāfiskās pārstāvības ziņā. Covid-19 pandēmijas radīto apstākļu dēļ 2020. gadā šie pasākumi notika virtuālajā telpā. Konkrētāk, lai īstenotu Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/299, konsorcijs 2020. gadā organizēja šādas darbības:

EKSPORTA KONTROLES

| 71. | 2020. gadā COARM (Padomes Parasto ieroču eksporta jautājumu darba grupa) sāka darbu, lai īstenotu Padomes secinājumos iekļautos sasniedzamos rezultātus attiecībā uz Kopējās nostājas 2008/944/KĀDP (26) par ieroču eksporta kontroli pārskatīšanu (27). Pēc COARM darba grupā panāktās vienošanās Eiropas Ārējās darbības dienests oktobrī savā tīmekļa vietnē izveidoja tiešsaistes datubāzi, kas ļauj sabiedrībai lietotājdraudzīgā veidā iepazīties ar datiem par dalībvalstu ieroču eksportu un analizēt tos. Šī datubāze kopumā tika novērtēta atzinīgi kā tāda, kas būtiski palielina ieroču eksporta jomas pārredzamību. Datubāzē ir informācija par dalībvalstu faktiski eksportēto ieroču eksporta licenču vērtību, eksporta galamērķiem un veidu, un to katru gadu atjauninās. Turklāt COARM sagatavoja Padomes Lēmumu par īsto lietotāju apliecībām attiecībā uz kājnieku ieroču un vieglo ieroču, kā arī to munīcijas eksporta. Šis lēmums tika pieņemts 2021. gada janvārī, un tas papildus veicina dalībvalstu ieroču eksporta politiku konverģenci. COARM turpināja saziņu un regulāru dialogu ar dažādām ieinteresētajām personām, tostarp pilsoniskās sabiedrības organizācijām, SSKK un Eiropas aizsardzības rūpniecības pārstāvjiem. |

71.

| 72. | ES arī turpināja informēšanas pasākumus, lai atbalstītu trešās valstis ieroču eksporta kontroles sistēmas izveidē un veicinātu ITL universalizāciju. Saskaņā ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/101 (28) (2018. gada 22. janvāris) un tam sekojošo Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2020/1464 (2020. gada 12. oktobris) par ieroču eksporta efektīvas kontroles sekmēšanu (29), ko īstenoja Vācijas Federālais ekonomikas un eksporta kontroles birojs (BAFA), notika vairāki semināri un individuāli palīdzības pasākumi, kurus pandēmijas dēļ rīkoja galvenokārt virtuālā formātā. Turklāt saskaņā ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/915 (30) tika īstenoti turpmāki reģionāli informatīvie pasākumi, pielāgotas valsts palīdzības programmas un ad hoc individuāla atbalsta darbsemināri, kurus īstenoja BAFA un Expertise France, atbalstot Ieroču tirdzniecības līguma efektīvu īstenošanu un universalizāciju. |

72.

| 73. | 2020. gadā notika politiskā dialoga sanāksmes par ieroču eksporta kontroles jautājumiem ar Norvēģiju un Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Minētās politiskā dialoga sanāksmes bija vieta rezultatīvām diskusijām par abpusēju ieinteresētību raisošiem jautājumiem, piemēram, eksporta politiku uz konkrētām vietām, atbilstības un kontroles jautājumiem un Ieroču tirdzniecības līguma procesu. |

73.

| 74. | 2020. gadā ES turpināja regulāri atjaunināt savus noteikumus, lai atspoguļotu tendences daudzpusējos eksporta kontroles režīmos. Tā, piemēram, Eiropas Komisija 2020. gada 7. oktobrī pieņēma Deleģēto regulu (ES) 2020/1749 (31), ar kuru tiek atjaunināts ES divējāda lietojuma preču kontroles saraksts saskaņā ar lēmumiem, kas 2019. gadā pieņemti daudzpusējos eksporta kontroles režīmos, un ieviesa jaunas kontroles, piemēram, attiecībā uz tiesībaizsardzības vajadzībās izmantotu uzraudzības programmatūru un digitālās kriminālistikas rīkiem. ES kontroles saraksta 2020. gada atjauninājumā saskaņā ar vienošanos, kas tika panākta Austrālijas grupas starpsesiju sanāksmē 2020. gada februārī, un lai novērstu ķīmisko ieroču prekursoru tirdzniecību, kontroles tika ieviestas arī attiecībā uz 24 papildu ķimikālijām, tostarp neiroparalītisko vielu Novičok. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupa turpināja atbalstīt efektīvu un konsekventu eksporta kontroļu īstenošanu Eiropas Savienībā. 2020. gadā tika ieviestas jaunas Divējāda lietojuma preču elektroniskās sistēmas funkcijas, lai sistēmu pielāgotu regulatīvajām izmaiņām, piemēram, 2019. gada atjauninātajam kontroles sarakstam un kompetento iestāžu drošas elektroniskas saziņas prasībām. Ņemot vērā Brexit, tika ieviesta jauna funkcionalitāte, lai saskaņā ar Ziemeļīrijas protokolu atbalstītu informācijas apmaiņu ar Apvienotās Karalistes kompetento iestādi. ES arī turpināja darbu pie elektroniskās licencēšanas platformas izstrādes, ko dalībvalstis izmantos brīvprātīgi, un sāka darbu, lai saskaņā ar Vienloga vides iniciatīvu divējāda lietojuma preču licencēšanas elektronisko sistēmu integrētu ar muitas elektroniskajām sistēmām. Lai nodrošinātu eksporta kontroļu un licencēšanas darbību pārredzamību, tika publicēts Eksporta kontroles gada ziņojums (32), un 2020. gada 11. decembrī tika sarīkots Eksporta kontroles forums, kas pulcēja ieinteresētās personas no dalībvalstīm, nozares un pilsoniskās sabiedrības (33). |

75.

| 76. | Būtiski uz priekšu pavirzījās darbs pie ES eksporta kontroles politikas pārskatīšanas. Padome un Eiropas Parlaments vienojās par ES eksporta kontroles modernizāciju. Visaptverošie grozījumi, kas tika veikti, lai uzlabotu kontroles efektivitāti un lietderību, ietver atjauninātas definīcijas un kontroles parametrus, licencēšanas saskaņošanu, vienkāršošanu un digitalizāciju, plašāku informācijas apmaiņu un sadarbību ar trešām valstīm. Jaunā regula padarīs pašreizējo ES eksporta kontroles sistēmu efektīvāku, ieviešot jaunu cilvēka drošības dimensiju, tostarp attiecībā uz cilvēktiesību aizsardzību, lai ES varētu reaģēt uz problēmām, ko rada jaunās divējāda lietojuma tehnoloģijas, jo īpaši kibernovērošanas tehnoloģijas, kas rada riskus nacionālajai un starptautiskajai drošībai. Jaunā regula tiks oficiāli pieņemta un stāsies spēkā 2021. gadā. Pandēmija būtiski ietekmēja daudzpusējo eksporta kontroles režīmu darbības; plenārsēdes bija jāatceļ, savukārt virtuālās sanāksmes ļāva darba grupām ierobežotā apjomā turpināt darbu. Neraugoties uz to, ES piedalījās Austrālijas grupas starpsesiju sanāksmē Bratislavā (2020. gada 5.–7. februāris). |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Turpinājās ES P2P eksporta kontroles programmas īstenošana, lai paplašinātu divējāda lietojuma preču un ar tām saistītu materiālu, ierīču un tehnoloģiju eksporta kontroles sistēmu efektivitāti sešos reģionos. 2020. gadā programma aptvēra 37 valstis, tostarp valstis, kas ietilpst Eksporta kontroles mērķiniciatīvās ar Ukrainas Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru un Starptautisko Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru Kazahstānā, kuros ir iesaistījušās 14 valstis. Pandēmijas dēļ vairāki reģionāli darbsemināri, valsts atbalsta pasākumi un ad hoc atbalsta semināri tika rīkoti galvenokārt virtuālā formātā. |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | Turpinājās intensīva ES P2P eksporta kontroles programmas koordinēšana ar ASV Valsts departamenta eksporta kontroles struktūru un ar to saistīto robežu drošības programmu. Tika organizēti kopīgi ES un ASV semināri, lai apmainītos ar informāciju par draudu novērtējuma metodiku, definētu kopējus ietekmes rādītājus un koordinētu uz vietas sniegtu palīdzību. FPI un JRC2020. gada 17.–21. augustā tiešsaistes formātā organizēja sesto ES P2P divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroles programmas vasaras universitāti par stratēģiskās tirdzniecības kontroli. ES P2P portāls tika pārvietots uz oficiālo Eiropas Savienības tīmekļa vidi (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en), kura 2020. gadā tika vēl vairāk uzlabota. Portāls turpinās kalpot par platformu visām ES informatīvajām programmām militāra un divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroļu jomā, lai pielāgotu informācijas apmaiņu ar ES partnervalstīm. Šī programma tiek finansēta saskaņā ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu. |

| 81. | Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms (MTCR) ir neformāla un brīvprātīga tādu valstu apvienība, kurām ir kopīgi mērķi – tādu bezapkalpes ieroču nogādes līdzekļu neizplatīšana, kas ir spējīgi nogādāt masu iznīcināšanas ieročus, un kuras tiecas koordinēt valstu eksporta licencēšanas centienus, kas vērsti uz to izplatīšanas nepieļaušanu. MTCR iesaistītās valdības ir apņēmušās ievērot kopējās eksporta politikas pamatnostādnes (MTCR pamatnostādnes), kuras piemērojamas integrētam kopējam kontrolēto preču sarakstam (MTCR ekipējuma, programmatūras un tehnoloģiju pielikums). MTCR partneri regulāri apmainās ar informāciju par attiecīgiem valsts līmeņa eksporta licencēšanas jautājumiem. MTCR pamatnostādnes un kontrolsaraksti ir starptautiskās paraugprakses standarts ar raķetēm saistītu priekšmetu un tehnoloģiju eksporta kontrolēm. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | MTCR kontekstā Eiropas Savienībai būtiski svarīgs jautājums joprojām ir par to, ka tiek bloķēta deviņu ES dalībvalstu, proti, Horvātijas, Igaunijas, Kipras, Latvijas, Lietuvas, Maltas, Rumānijas, Slovākijas un Slovēnijas pievienošanās režīmam. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | Turklāt nepārtrauktība un prognozējamība tādu eksporta kontroles režīmu vadīšanā, kāds ir MTCR, ir būtiska šo režīmu darbībai un ticamībai. ES dalībvalstis, kas ir MTCR locekles, iesniedza neoficiālu dokumentu “Par vadīšanas jautājumiem” (On Chairmanship Issues) izskatīšanai plenārsēdē, kurā tika pētītas iespējas veicināt un atbalstīt režīma ilgtspējīgu vadību. ES turpinās iesaistīties diskusijās ar locekļiem par dažādajiem variantiem. Saistībā ar režīmu ES vienmēr ir atbalstījusi stingru MTCR publisko paziņojumu pieņemšanu, kuros atspoguļotas starptautiskās bažas par ballistisko raķešu palaišanu un būtisko progresu raķešu tehnoloģiju izstrādē Irānā un KTDR. |

KOSMOSS

| 84. | ES un tās dalībvalstis turpināja veicināt drošas un ilgtspējīgas kosmosa vides saglabāšanu un kosmosa miermīlīgu izmantošanu uz taisnīgiem un savstarpēji pieņemamiem pamatiem. Mēs turpinājām uzsvērt, cik svarīgi ir pārredzamības un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumi un nepieciešamība iestāties par atbildīgu rīcību kosmosā Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas satvarā. Šajā sakarā ANO Ģenerālajā asamblejā ES nāca klajā ar paziņojumiem, kas saistīti ar kosmosu. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | ES un tās dalībvalstis saglabāja stingru apņemšanos nepieļaut bruņošanās sacensību kosmosā, un tas ir būtiski starptautiskās drošības un stabilitātes stiprināšanai un kosmosa vides izmantošanas miermīlīgiem mērķiem garantēšanai ilgtermiņā. Mēs turpinājām paust bažas par visu satelītu iznīcināšanas ieroču un spēju izstrādi, tostarp uz zemes, un uzsvērt to, cik svarīgi ir šādām norisēm pievērsties nekavējoties un tādu starptautisko centienu ietvaros, kuru mērķis ir novērst bruņošanās sacensību kosmosā. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | ES un tās dalībvalstis atkārtoti pauda gandarījumu par preambulu un 21 pamatnostādni par kosmosā veikto darbību ilgtermiņa ilgtspēju, ko pieņēma Kosmosa mierīgas izmantošanas komiteja un kas tika apstiprināta ar ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas rezolūciju 2019. gadā (34). Pamatnostādnes ir svarīgs papildinājums pārredzamības un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumiem kosmosā (35). |
| --- | --- |

86.

| 87. | ES un dalībvalstis pauda gandarījumu par to, ka ir pieņemta jauna rezolūcija par draudu mazināšanu, izmantojot atbildīgu rīcību (36), kas ir savlaicīgs pasākums, lai mazinātu ar kosmosu saistītus draudus un riskus un veicinātu atbildīgu rīcību kosmosā, jo īpaši saistībā ar Apvienoto Nāciju Organizāciju. Tās mudināja visas valstis konstruktīvi iesaistīties darbā, lai panāktu vienotu izpratni par atbildīgu rīcību kosmosā, ko kopīgi atbalstīs arī ES. |

MII NEIZPLATĪŠANAS KLAUZULAS

| 88. | Saskaņā ar savu MII neizplatīšanas politiku un ievērojot Padomes 2003. gada secinājumus, ES turpināja darbu pie MII neizplatīšanas saistību integrēšanas nolīgumos ar partnervalstīm. Šajā sakarā 2020. gadā notika arī sarunas ar Apvienoto Karalisti, gatavojoties Brexit un turpmākajām ES un Apvienotās Karalistes attiecībām. Saskaņā ar ES un Kubas kopīgo lēmumu par to, lai provizoriski piemērotu dažas ES un Kubas nolīguma daļas, martā Briselē notika pirmais ES un Kubas MII neizplatīšanas dialogs, kura pamatā bija MII neizplatīšanas klauzula jaunajā nolīgumā; otrais dialogs 2020. gada septembrī notika tiešsaistē. |

CITI DAUDZPUSĒJI FORUMI

G7

| 89. | ES turpināja aktīvi piedalīties G7 neizplatīšanas direktoru grupas (NPDG) sanāksmēs. 2020. gadā ES piedalījās Amerikas Savienoto valstu (prezidentvalsts) vadībā rīkotajās sanāksmēs, kurās galvenā uzmanība tika pievērsta aktuāliem neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumiem, kā arī tam, lai panāktu turpmāku progresu NPDG un G7 globālās partnerības pret masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un materiālu izplatīšanu darba koordinēšanā, jo īpaši, izveidojot ciešāku saikni starp politikas prioritātēm un projektu darbībām. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | ES joprojām iestājas par Globālo partnerību pret masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un materiālu izplatīšanu, jo īpaši izmantojot tehnisko palīdzību (draudu novērtējums, valsts rīcības plāni), ko visā pasaulē sniedz ES izcilības centru iniciatīva CBRN risku mazināšanai. Iniciatīva arī palīdzēs īstenot Globālās partnerības izmēģinājuma projektu “Raksturinformācijas iniciatīva bioloģisko draudu mazināšanai Āfrikā” kopā ar jauno projektu LABPLUS AFRICA. |
