| 3. | 2021 m. daugiašaliam darbui ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo klausimais toliau poveikį darė COVID-19 pandemija, daugiausia dėl kelionių apribojimų. Nors buvo atidėti keli daugiašaliai susitikimai, visų pirma Branduolinio ginklo neplatinimo sutarties (NPT) 10-oji peržiūros konferencija ir Biologinių ir toksinių ginklų konvencijos 9-oji peržiūros konferencija, daugelį kitų susitikimų pavyko surengti internetu, o kai kuriuos – gyvai. Tokiu būdu buvo galima tęsti daugiašales diskusijas, kartu pripažįstant bendravimo per vaizdo konferenciją ribotumą. |

Sutartis dėl branduolinio ginklo neplatinimo ir Tarptautinė atominės energijos agentūra

| 8. | NPT peržiūros ciklas turėjo būti užbaigtas 2020 m. balandžio–gegužės mėn. dešimtojoje NPT peržiūros konferencijoje. Atsižvelgdamos į COVID-19 pandemiją ir su tuo susijusius kelionių apribojimus, valstybės šalys 2020 m. kovo mėn. susitarė peržiūros konferenciją atidėti iki 2021 m. sausio mėn. Vėliau tais metais peržiūros konferencija buvo dar kartą preliminariai atidėta iki 2021 m. rugpjūčio mėn., o vėliau – iki 2022 m. sausio mėn. ir galiausiai iki 2022 m. rugpjūčio mėn. ES dalyvavo visuose atitinkamuose tiek virtualiai, tiek gyvai surengtuose debatuose, be kita ko, JT Generalinės Asamblėjos Pirmojo komiteto nusiginklavimo ir tarptautinio saugumo klausimais 75-ojoje sesijoje įvykusiuose bendruosiuose debatuose. Specialioji pasiuntinė taip pat surengė keletą konsultacijų su pagrindiniais partneriais ir dalyvavo daugelyje teorinių ir praktinių seminarų. |

| 9. | Tarybos sprendimas (BUSP) 2019/615 (2) dėl Sąjungos paramos veiklai, rengiantis NPT peržiūros konferencijai, 2021 m. buvo toliau įgyvendinamas, 2021 m. lapkričio 13–14 d. Amane JT nusiginklavimo reikalų biurui (UNODA) surengus regioninį praktinį seminarą Artimųjų Rytų regionui. Pagrindinis Tarybos sprendimo tikslas – padėti pasiekti sėkmingų rezultatų NPT peržiūros konferencijoje ir parengti realistiškus ir įgyvendinamus veiksmus bei rekomendacijas, dėl kurių gali būti pasiektas bendras sutarimas. Dėl COVID-19 pandemijos nepavyko surengti tik vieno paskutinio Lotynų Amerikos regionui skirto regioninio susitikimo, skirto aptarti visus tris NPT ramsčius, į juos žvelgiant pro regioninių prioritetų ir rūpimų problemų prizmę. Sprendimo (BUSP) 2019/615 dėl Sąjungos paramos veiklai, rengiantis peržiūros konferencijai, 2021 m. balandžio 8 d. ir 2021 m. rugsėjo 21 d. galiojimas buvo pratęstas iki 2022 m. sausio 15 d. (jo galiojimo pabaigos dienos) be papildomų išlaidų. |

| 10. | ES toliau rėmė Tarptautinės atominės energijos agentūros (TATENA) pagrindines pareigas, susijusias su ginklų neplatinimu taikant jos saugos garantijų sistemą, branduoline sauga, branduoliniu saugumu, branduolinės energijos naudojimu ir techniniu bendradarbiavimu, be kita ko, teikdama atitinkamą finansinę paramą. ES ir Euratomas aktyviai dalyvavo visuose TATENA valdymo organų posėdžiuose, o ES veiklą koordinavo iš Vienos. 2021 m. rugsėjo mėn. TATENA 65-ojoje generalinėje konferencijoje Vienoje bendru sutarimu buvo priimtos dvi ES remiamos rezoliucijos dėl branduolinės saugos garantijų ir branduolinio saugumo. ES delegacija Vienoje per metus suderino daugiau kaip 40 ES pareiškimų visais atitinkamais TATENA klausimais. |

12.

| 13. | Visapusiškų saugos garantijų susitarimai kartu su papildomais protokolais sudaro dabartinį tikrinimo standartą ir ES toliau propaguoja visuotinį prisijungimą prie jų. Glaudus Euratomo ir TATENA bendradarbiavimas sudaro sąlygas užtikrinti veiksmingas ir efektyvias saugos garantijas. ES aktyviai remia TATENA saugos garantijų sistemą naudodamasi Europos Komisijos paramos saugos garantijoms programa, bendradarbiavimo branduolinės saugos srityje priemone (INSC) ir valstybių narių paramos programomis. Europos Komisijos paramos saugos garantijoms programa anksčiau buvo stiprinami TATENA branduolinės saugos garantijų pajėgumai, be kita ko, inspektorių techniniai mokymai ir pajėgumai, skirti BVVP įgyvendinimui tikrinti, TATENA saugos garantijų inspektoriams rengiant mokymus apie papildomą prieigą ir COMPUCEA (Kombinuotos urano koncentracijos ir sodrinimo analizės) veikimą siekiant tikrinti UF6 sodrinimą, įskaitant atitinkamas pamatines medžiagas. ES Komisijos paramos saugos garantijoms programa remiami TATENA analitinių laboratorijų tinklo įgaliojimai tikrinti BVVP, teikiant analitines paslaugas, standartizuotus metodus ir kokybės kontrolės priemones. Visų pirma, dalelių analizė ir pamatinių dalelių gamyba bei sertifikavimas padeda TATENA analitinių laboratorijų tinklui kurti naujus metodus ir matavimo protokolus, skirtus aplinkos kontaktinių mėginių analizei pagal papildomą protokolą. Pagal INSC ES teikė finansinę paramą tikrinimo veiklai Irane pagal BVVP I priedą ir valstybinės branduolinių medžiagų apskaitos ir kontrolės sistemos (SSAC) skatinimui šalyse partnerėse. |

13.

| 14. | Europos Komisija tęsia veiklą ir toliau aktyviai remia Europos apsaugos priemonių tyrimo ir plėtros asociaciją (ESARDA), kuri taip pat tęsia tarptautinę informavimo veiklą – ji sudarė susitarimo memorandumus su Afrikos branduolinės energijos reikalų komisija ir Azijos ir Ramiojo vandenyno valstybių saugos garantijų tinklu, glaudžiai bendradarbiaudama su Branduolinių medžiagų tvarkymo institutu. ESARDA darbo grupės rengia, išbando ir patvirtina novatoriškas saugos garantijas ir neplatinimo metodus, kurie yra tiesiogiai naudingi Energetikos generalinio direktorato Branduolinės saugos garantijų direktoratui ir Tarptautinės atominės energijos agentūros Saugos garantijų departamentui. Nepaisant su COVID susijusių apribojimų, Euratomo inspektoriams buvo surengti nuotoliniai techniniai mokymai urano sodrinimo, plutonio izotopų sudėties tikrinimo ir lazerinio kartografavimo tikrinant apgaubą (angl. Laser Mapping for Containment Verification (LMCV)) klausimais. Prieš pandemiją taip pat buvo surengti mokymai apie neutronų skaičiavimą. 2021 m. balandžio mėn., atšaukus 2020 m. renginį, buvo surengti gerai parengti ESARDA kursai branduolinės saugos garantijų ir ginklų neplatinimo klausimais. Mokslinių tyrimų ir plėtros rezultatai ir švietimo bei mokymo iniciatyvos stiprina Europos ir tarptautinius branduolinės saugos garantijų ir strateginės prekybos kontrolės pajėgumus. Veikla, susijusia su šiuo darbu, buvo prisidedama prie branduolinio saugumo ir branduolinio nusiginklavimo iniciatyvų. Europos Komisijos Jungtinis tyrimų centras (JRC) įgijo patirties, susijusios su nuotoliniais techniniais mokymais saugos priemonių inspektoriams; ja buvo pasidalyta su TATENA per trišalius susitikimus (TATENA, Euratomas ir JRC). Pirmasis Bendras metinis susitikimas su Branduolinių medžiagų tvarkymo institutu buvo surengtas kaip virtualus renginys 2021 m. rugpjūčio mėn. |

14.

| 15. | Europos Komisija, taikydama bendradarbiavimo branduolinės saugos srityje priemonę, finansavo didelį mokymo ir švietimo branduolinės saugos garantijų srityje projektą bendradarbiaujant su Europos branduolinio švietimo tinklu. Pagal šią sutartį Europos branduolinio švietimo tinklas bendradarbiauja su Politecnico di Milano universitetu, JRC, ESARDA ir TATENA siekiant parengti pirmąją 2021–2022 akademinių metų branduolinės saugos garantijų antrosios ir trečiosios pakopos studijų programą. Po aktyvios atrankos kampanijos iš 66 kandidatų buvo atrinkti 25 studentai. Pusė jų yra iš Afrikos žemyno ir daugiau nei pusė – moterys. Magistrantūros studijų programą, be kitų, iškilmingai pradėjo TATENA generalinis direktorius, Pasaulio branduolinės energetikos asociacijos generalinis direktorius, Afrikos branduolinės energijos reikalų komisijos (AFCONE) vykdomasis sekretorius ir ji vykdoma nuo 2021 m. spalio mėn. Mokymo procese dalyvauja iki 50 ekspertų, kurie dėsto programą virtualiu formatu – rengiamos vaizdo paskaitos, internetiniai seminarai, pratybos ir egzaminai. |

15.

| 16. | 2021 m. trečiosiose valstybėse buvo įvykdyti keli ES demaršai siekiant skatinti stiprinti TATENA saugos garantijų sistemą, ypač daug dėmesio skiriant iš dalies pakeisto mažų kiekių protokolo ir papildomo protokolo visuotiniam taikymui (5). Be to, 2021 m. kovo mėn. Žaliajame Kyšulyje ES pateikė demaršą, kuriuo remiamas visuotinis visapusiškų saugos garantijų susitarimo ir jo papildomo protokolo taikymas; tai buvo vienas iš platesnio masto Vienoje įsikūrusios „Papildomo protokolo draugų“ grupės veiksmų. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | ES ir jos valstybės narės mano, kad itin svarbu pasaulio mastu užtikrinti branduolinę saugą ir nuolat ją didinti. 2017 m. įsigaliojusia iš dalies pakeista Branduolinės saugos direktyva ES suteikė teisinę galią Vienos deklaracijos dėl branduolinės saugos tikslams. Itin svarbus iš dalies pakeistos direktyvos elementas – visiems veiklos vykdytojams nustatytas saugos tikslas, siekiant užkirsti kelią avarijoms ir išvengti didelio radioaktyviųjų medžiagų išmetimo į aplinką. Iš dalies pakeistomis direktyvomis į Euratomo teisę taip pat įtraukti teminiai ekspertiniai vertinimai. Buvo sėkmingai atliktas pirmasis Europos lygmens teminis ekspertinis vertinimas. Visos ES valstybės narės perkėlė naujus reikalavimus į savo nacionalinę teisę. |

17.

| 18. | 2021–2027 m. laikotarpiu taikiam branduolinės energijos naudojimui remti ES skyrė 300 mln. EUR; šiomis lėšomis remiama branduolinė sauga, radiacinė sauga ir veiksmingų bei efektyvių saugos garantijų taikymas trečiosiose valstybėse. Europos Komisija, bendradarbiaudama su TATENA ir kitais partneriais, remia strateginio bendrojo plano dėl aplinkos atkūrimo Vidurinėje Azijoje, kuris bus finansuojamas iš ERPB tvarkomos specialios aplinkos atkūrimo sąskaitos, įgyvendinimą. Kaip didžiausia paramos teikėja, ES toliau palaiko ryšius su paramą gaunančiomis šalimis (Kirgizija, Tadžikistanu ir Uzbekistanu), kad paskatintų dalyvavimą ir pradėtų konkrečius valymo ir atkūrimo projektus. |

18.

| 19. | Europos Komisijos Jungtinis tyrimų centras (JRC) ir TATENA toliau įgyvendino 5-o ES ir TATENA vyresniųjų pareigūnų susitikimo (2017 m. vasario 15 d.) metu pasirašytą „Praktinę bendradarbiavimo branduolinių mokslų taikymo būdų srityje tvarką“, kuria siekiama plėtoti bendrą veiklą ir išvengti pastangų dubliavimo. Ši praktinė tvarka apima tokias sritis kaip dirvotyra, naudojimas medicinos tikslais, vandenynų mokslas, branduoliniai duomenys ir pamatinės medžiagos, maisto sauga, Žemės stebėjimas ir aplinkos stebėsena.
  Aplinkos radioaktyvumo stebėsena vykdoma atliekant matavimus visoje Europoje ir daugelyje kitų pasaulio vietovių, nustatant gama spinduliuotės dozės normos vidutines ir didžiausias vertes per pastarąsias 24 valandas. Šiuos matavimų rezultatus pateikia 39 šalių kompetentingos nacionalinės institucijos iš maždaug 5 500 stebėjimo vietų; jos pateikia naujausias radiologines vertes Europos radiologinių duomenų mainų platformai (EURDEP). Pranešimas apie radiologinę avariją arba ekstremaliąją radiologinę situaciją pateikiamas per išankstinio pranešimo tinklus, pavyzdžiui, ECURIE arba EMERCON, kuriuos atitinkamai valdo Europos Komisija ir TATENA, pasikonsultavus su kompetentingomis nacionalinėmis institucijomis. |

Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutartis

| 22. | Itin svarbūs ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategijos tikslai – CTBT įsigaliojimas ir visuotinis taikymas. Visos ES valstybės narės pademonstravo įsipareigojimą laikytis šios sutarties – jos ją ratifikavo ir iki jos įsigaliojimo jau vykdė pagrindinius įsipareigojimus pagal ją. CTBT yra tvirta pasitikėjimo ir saugumo stiprinimo priemonė. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | 2021 m. ES toliau vykdė diplomatinę veiklą CTBT remti; veikla buvo priderinta prie ribotų galimybių dėl pandemijos. Savo pareiškimuose susijusių forumų metu, taip pat palaikydama dvišalius santykius su atitinkamomis II priede nurodytomis ir II priede nenurodytomis šalimis, ES ne kartą ragino ratifikuoti Sutartį, be kita ko, 2021 m. rugsėjo mėn. Niujorke vykusioje XIV straipsnio konferencijoje pasitelkusi vyriausiąjį įgaliotinį. Be to, 2021 m. ES vykdė demaršus II priede nurodytų ir II priede nenurodytų valstybių atžvilgiu, siekdama skatinti visuotinį CTBT taikymą ir įsigaliojimą. Specialioji pasiuntinė nusiginklavimo ir ginklų neplatinimo klausimais dalyvavo kaip diskusijų grupės narė metinėje Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutarties organizacijos (CTBTO) parengiamosios komisijos mokslo ir technologijų konferencijoje. CTBT įsigaliojimo propagavimas buvo vienas iš veiksmų, nurodytų JT generalinio sekretoriaus dokumente „Mūsų bendros ateities užtikrinimas: nusiginklavimo darbotvarkė“, kurį ES nusprendė remti. |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | ES nuosekliai propaguoja CTBT naudą ir indėlį į taiką, saugumą, nusiginklavimą ir ginklų neplatinimą, įskaitant jos taikymą civilinėms reikmėms. Įgyvendinant 2020 m. birželio 29 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2020/901 dėl Sąjungos paramos Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutarties organizacijos (CTBTO) parengiamosios komisijos veiklai siekiant stiprinti jos stebėsenos bei tikrinimo pajėgumus ir įgyvendinant ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategiją (6), 2021 m. toliau buvo vykdomas tvirtas ES politinis ir finansinis įsipareigojimas laikytis Sutarties ir remti jos Organizaciją. ES teikiama finansine parama CTBT prisidėta prie Tarptautinės stebėsenos sistemos (TSS) palaikymo ir stiprinimo teikiant techninę paramą, stiprinant pajėgumus ir sudarant palankesnes sąlygas ekspertams dalyvauti CTBTO posėdžiuose, visų pirma besivystančių šalių atžvilgiu. ES aktyviai dalyvavo CTBTO parengiamosios komisijos, jos A ir B darbo grupių posėdžiuose, ES koordinuojant veiklą CONOP darbo grupėje ir Vienoje. |

Su branduoliniu saugumu susijusios iniciatyvos

| 25. | ES ir toliau visiškai pritaria 2020 m. vasario mėn. įvykusios Tarptautinės branduolinio saugumo konferencijos (ICONS 2020) rezultatams. Jos ministrų deklaracijoje pakartojamas įsipareigojimas išlaikyti ir stiprinti veiksmingą ir visapusišką visų branduolinių ir kitų radioaktyviųjų medžiagų bei objektų branduolinį saugumą ir pripažįstamas esminis TATENA vaidmuo sudarant palankesnes sąlygas tarptautiniam bendradarbiavimui branduolinio saugumo srityje ir jį koordinuojant. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | ES ir toliau labai palaikė Tarptautinę konvenciją dėl kovos su branduolinio terorizmo veiksmais (ICSANT) ir Branduolinių medžiagų fizinės saugos konvencijos (CPPNM) dalinį pakeitimą kaip itin svarbius pasaulinės branduolinio saugumo ir kovos su terorizmu struktūros elementus. Prieš susitikimą dėl CPPNM dalinio pakeitimo peržiūros Vienoje ES 2021 m. įvykdė keletą demaršų maždaug 70 šalių. |

26.

| 27. | Jungtinių Tautų narkotikų kontrolės ir nusikalstamumo prevencijos biuras (UNODC) ir Jungtinių Tautų kovos su terorizmu biuras (UNOCT) toliau įgyvendino 2018 m. gruodžio 10 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2018/1939 dėl Sąjungos paramos Tarptautinės konvencijos dėl kovos su branduolinio terorizmo veiksmais visuotiniam taikymui ir veiksmingam įgyvendinimui (7). Šiuo Tarybos sprendimu siekiama padidinti prie ICSANT prisijungusių šalių skaičių, padidinti nacionalinės politikos rengėjų ir sprendimus priimančių asmenų informuotumą, taip pat sustiprinti pajėgumus ir taip padėti patobulinti nacionalinės teisės aktus ir sustiprinti nacionalinių suinteresuotųjų subjektų, įskaitant baudžiamosios teisės pareigūnus, pajėgumą tirti, vykdyti baudžiamąjį persekiojimą ir priimti sprendimus branduolinio terorizmo bylose. Keli 2020 m. ir 2021 m. numatyti renginiai buvo atidėti arba sėkmingai surengti virtualiu formatu. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | ES toliau rėmė Pasaulinę kovos su branduoliniu terorizmu iniciatyvą (GICNT) ir jos misiją – stiprinti pajėgumus pasauliniu lygmeniu siekiant užkirsti kelią branduoliniam terorizmui, nustatyti jo grėsmę ir į jį reaguoti. ES ir jos valstybės narės aktyviai dalyvauja GICNT darbe visose srityse: branduolinių medžiagų aptikimo, branduolinės ekspertizės ir reagavimo bei poveikio švelninimo. |
| --- | --- |

28.

| 29. | 2013 m. ES su TATENA pasirašė praktinę bendradarbiavimo branduolinio saugumo techniniais klausimais tvarką, kuria, be kitų tikslų, siekiama gerinti mokymo ir pajėgumų stiprinimo veiklos koordinavimą skatinant ir įgyvendinant tvarią branduolinio saugumo kultūros praktiką. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | ES branduolinio saugumo mokymo centras (EUSECTRA), kurio užduotis – padėti aptikti neteisėtus veiksmus, susijusius su branduolinėmis bei kitomis radioaktyviosiomis medžiagomis, ir į juos reaguoti, veikia visu pajėgumu nuo 2013 m.; jo paslaugomis naudojasi Europos Sąjungos valstybės narės ir valstybės partnerės, tarp kurių yra kelios GICNT narės. Mokymo centrą valdo JRC ir jis veikia JRC padaliniuose Karlsrūhėje (Vokietija) ir Isproje (Italija), glaudžiai bendradarbiaudamas įgyvendinant kitas TATENA ir kelių GICNT valstybių partnerių propaguojamas tarptautines iniciatyvas. Centre taip pat organizuojamos praktinės pratybos, daugiausia kovos su branduolinių medžiagų kontrabanda srityje. EUSECTRA aktyviai dalyvauja tenkinant ES valstybių narių ir ES partnerių mokymo poreikius, be kita ko, per valstybių narių delegatams skirtus koordinuojamus mokymus muitinės ir teisėsaugos klausimais (tiesiogiai bendradarbiaujant su EK Vidaus reikalų GD ir EK Mokesčių ir muitų sąjungos GD), kurie jau įgyvendinti ar suplanuoti 2019–2022 m. laikotarpiu. EUSECTRA stiprina mokymui naudojamą infrastruktūrą, plėtoja virtualias mokymosi priemones ir ES valstybių narių prašymu atlieka įrangos naudojimo efektyvumo vertinimą. Dėl pandemijos buvo apriboti tiesioginiai mokymai. Taikant šiuolaikines priemones sukurtas mišrus metodas, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant praktinėms pratyboms nuotoliniu būdu naudojant priemones ir realiomis sąlygomis naudojant branduolines bei radioaktyviąsias medžiagas, tokiu būdu stiprinant kovos su grėsmėmis, susijusiomis su cheminėmis, biologinėmis, radiologinėmis ir branduolinėmis (ChBRB) medžiagomis, ir su branduoliniu terorizmu pastangas. |
| --- | --- |

30.

| 31. | Europos Komisija ir ES valstybės narės toliau vykdė branduolinę ekspertizę sulaikytų branduolinių medžiagų savybėms nustatyti naudodamosi pažangiausiais branduolinės ekspertizės pajėgumais JRC padalinyje Karlsrūhėje (Vokietija). |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | JRC ir ESARDA svariai prisidėjo prie 2020 m. paskelbtos knygos „Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Verification – Innovative Systems Concepts“ (Branduolinio ginklo neplatinimo ir ginklų kontrolės tikrinimas. Novatoriškų sistemų koncepcijos). |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Europos Komisija toliau stiprino ES valstybių narių pajėgumus išbandyti ir įvertinti įrangos, naudojamos neteisėtai prekybai branduolinėmis ir radioaktyviosiomis medžiagomis aptikti, veikimą įgyvendindama savo ITRAP+ 10 programos II etapą – įgyvendinus šį etapą pasiektas aukštesnis suderinimo ir standartizavimo lygis, taip pat svariai prisidėta prie tarptautinių standartų. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Europos Komisija ir toliau atlieka svarbų vaidmenį Sienų stebėsenos darbo grupėje (BMWG) siekiant branduolinio saugumo. Ji yra BMWG ir dviejų jos pogrupių – aptikimo technologijų ir pajėgumų stiprinimo klausimais – bendrapirmininkė. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | Europos Komisija, bendradarbiaudama su TATENA, tęsė mokslinius tyrimus siekiant plėtoti naują neardomojo bandymo metodą, konkrečiai, uždelstos gama spektrometrijos siekiant patikrinti branduolinių medžiagų pėdsakus srityje. Pagal paramos programą TATENA buvo pateikti bendrieji veiksmai. |
| --- | --- |

35.

| 36. | 2020 m. Europos Komisijos Mokesčių ir muitų sąjungos GD, padedamas JRC ir EUSECTRA, pradėjo interaktyvią e. mokymosi programą, kuria siekiama padėti muitinės pareigūnams mokytis apie radioaktyvius ir branduolinius sienų kontrolės aspektus. Pagrindų lygio modulyje parodomas svarbus muitinės pareigūnų vaidmuo aptinkant branduolines ir radioaktyviąsias medžiagas, informuojama apie riziką ir grėsmes, taip pat pateikiama pagrindinė įvadinė informacija apie atitinkamas medžiagas, įrangą ir procesus. Aukštesnio lygio modulyje tos pačios temos plėtojamos išsamiau. Abu kursai apima tikroviškus scenarijus, susijusius su jūrų uostais, oro uostais, geležinkeliais ir sausumos sienomis, kuriuos taikant kursų dalyviai gali išbandyti savo gebėjimus priimti sprendimus. Mokesčių ir muitų sąjungos GD ir JRC bendradarbiavimas padėjo užtikrinti tvirtesnę valstybių narių muitinės administracijų sąveiką. EUSECTRA centre rengiami mokymai taps platforma nacionaliniams ekspertams keistis geriausios branduolinio saugumo praktikos sienų apsaugos srityje pavyzdžiais, taip prisidedant prie suderintų procedūrų kūrimo. Tai yra dalis pastangų siekiant bendromis jėgomis kovoti su neteisėta prekyba branduolinėmis medžiagomis ir palengvinti prekybą per muitinės kontrolės postus. Galutinis tikslas yra užkirsti kelią asmenims gauti kenksmingų medžiagų, skatinant bendrą branduolinio saugumo kultūrą. |

Su branduoliniu tikrinimu susijusios iniciatyvos

| 37. | ES ir jos valstybės narės pritarė tam, kad 2016 m. JT Generalinėje Asamblėjoje būtų įsteigta Vyriausybių ekspertų grupė branduolinio nusiginklavimo tikrinimo klausimais, palankiai įvertino šioje grupėje vykusias diskusijas ir pritarė rekomendacijai tęsti darbą, atsižvelgiant į grupės ataskaitą. ES visapusiškai rėmė JT Generalinės Asamblėjos rezoliuciją 74/50 ir naujos Vyriausybių ekspertų grupės įsteigimą; 2021 m. ir 2022 m. surengtuose šios grupės posėdžiuose bus siekiama toliau svarstyti tikrinimo vaidmenį skatinant branduolinį nusiginklavimą. ES remia darbą, vykdomą įgyvendinant platesnes partnerystes ir bendradarbiavimu grindžiamus tikrinimo susitarimus, ir dalyvauja Tarptautinės partnerystės branduolinio nusiginklavimo tikrinimo srityje veikloje nuo pat jos įsteigimo 2015 m. ES taip pat remia JT generalinio sekretoriaus dokumento „Mūsų bendros ateities užtikrinimas: nusiginklavimo darbotvarkė“ veiksmų punktą, susijusį su branduolinio nusiginklavimo tikrinimu. |

Regioniniai klausimai

| 38. | Bendras visapusiškas veiksmų planas (BVVP) yra vienas iš svarbiausių pasaulinės branduolinių ginklų neplatinimo struktūros elementų ir daugiašalės diplomatijos laimėjimas. Europos saugumui labai svarbu, kad susitarimas būtų visapusiškai įgyvendintas. ES ne kartą apgailestavo dėl to, kad Iranas sumažino savo įsipareigojimų branduolinėje srityje pagal BVVP mastą; jis pradėtas mažinti 2019 m. liepos mėn. ir tai buvo tęsiama visu 2020 m ir 2021 m. laikotarpiu. Irano tebevykdomi veiksmai yra nesuderinami su BVVP ir turi rimtų ir tam tikrais atvejais negrįžtamų pasekmių ginklų platinimo srityje. ES ir toliau primygtinai ragina Iraną nutraukti visą veiklą, kuri yra nesuderinama su BVVP, ir nedelsiant vėl imti visapusiškai įgyvendinti savo įsipareigojimus branduolinėje srityje, visų pirma įgyvendinti Papildomą protokolą ir BVVP skaidrumo nuostatas. ES vyriausiasis įgaliotinis, kaip BVVP Bendros komisijos koordinatorius, tebėra visapusiškai įsipareigojęs išsaugoti BVVP ir užtikrinti visapusišką jo įgyvendinimą. Tuo tikslu 2021 m. ES vyriausiasis įgaliotinis palaikė intensyvius diplomatinius santykius su visais BVVP dalyviais ir Jungtinėmis Valstijomis, kad užtikrintų, kad būtų atnaujintas visapusiškas ir veiksmingas BVVP įgyvendinimas. |
| --- | --- |

38.

| 39. | Tuo pat metu ES ir toliau prisideda įgyvendinant BVVP, koordinuodama pagal BVVP įsteigtų Bendros komisijos ir ekspertų lygio darbo grupių veiklą. ES taip pat toliau remia ilgalaikę TATENA misiją tikrinti ir stebėti, kaip Iranas vykdo savo įsipareigojimus branduolinėje srityje. Nepaisant su COVID-19 susijusių apribojimų, ES toliau bendradarbiauja su Iranu civilinėje branduolinėje srityje pagal BVVP III priedą branduolinės saugos klausimais.
  ES ir Irano bendradarbiavimas civilinėje branduolinėje srityje apima paramą Arako mokslinių tyrimų reaktoriaus (Chondabas) modernizavimui, paramą Irano branduolinės energetikos reguliavimo institucijai (INRA), įskaitant Branduolinės saugos centro, kuriam ES tiekia būtiną įrangą, steigimą Teherane, paramą Bušehro atominei elektrinei, kad būtų įgyvendintas testavimas nepalankiausiomis sąlygomis, ir TATENA vykdomą patikrą ir stebėseną Irane. BVVP viešųjų pirkimų kanalas, kuriame peržiūrimas branduolinių ar dvejopo naudojimo prekių perdavimas Iranui, toliau veikia visu pajėgumu. 2021 m. ES delegacija Vienoje surengė aštuonis Viešųjų pirkimų darbo grupės posėdžius ir jiems pirmininkavo. |

ES delegacija Vienoje surengė aštuonis Viešųjų pirkimų darbo grupės posėdžius ir jiems pirmininkavo.

| 40. | ES ir jos valstybės narės toliau primygtinai ragino Korėjos Liaudies Demokratinę Respubliką (KLDR) imtis konkrečių veiksmų siekiant visiškai, patikrinamai ir negrįžtamai atsisakyti savo branduolinių ginklų, esamos branduolinės programos, balistinių raketų ir kitų masinio naikinimo ginklų. Tai buvo nurodoma visuose atitinkamuose ES pareiškimuose. ES pareiškė susirūpinimą dėl 8-ajame partijos kongrese KLDR pareikšto ketinimo toliau plėtoti branduolinius ginklus ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemones ir dėl akivaizdžiai naujų raketų sistemų eksponavimo dideliame parade 2021 m. sausio mėn. ES pasmerkė tolesnius KLDR vykdytus destabilizuojančius veiksmus, įskaitant trumpojo nuotolio balistinių raketų paleidimą, balistinės raketos paleidimą iš povandeninio laivo, raketos, ant kurios, atrodo, buvo sumontuotas hipergarsinis sklandytuvas, paleidimą, raketų šaudymą iš traukinio bei kitų transporto priemonių ir naujų rūšių sparnuotųjų raketų bandymus. ES paragino nuosekliai bendrauti su panašiai mąstančiais partneriais pasmerkiant KLDR padarytus daugelio JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijų pažeidimus. ES užtikrino griežtą JT Saugumo Tarybos nustatytų sankcijų, kurios buvo perkeltos į ES teisę, taip pat papildomų autonominių ES priemonių įgyvendinimą.
  ES paragino visas JT valstybes nares visapusiškai įgyvendinti JT sankcijas, be kita ko, imantis diplomatinių demaršų daugiau kaip 70 šalių ir palaikant glaudžius ryšius su JT ekspertų grupe ir 1718 komitetu. Kartu ES primygtinai paragino KLDR konstruktyviai reaguoti į Jungtinių Valstijų pareikštą pasirengimą dialogui ir pradėti prasmingas diskusijas su visomis atitinkamomis šalimis, pabrėždama nuolatinį ES pasirengimą remti naują diplomatinį procesą. ES primygtinai paragino KLDR visapusiškai laikytis visų atitinkamų JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijų ir kitų savo tarptautinių pareigų ir įsipareigojimų, vėl pradėti laikytis NPT ir TATENA visapusiškų saugos garantijų susitarimo, užtikrinti, kad įsigaliotų papildomas protokolas, ir primygtinai ragina ją pasirašyti ir ratifikuoti Visuotinio branduolinių bandymų uždraudimo sutartį. |

Nusiginklavimo konferencija / Daliųjų medžiagų branduoliniams ginklams arba kitiems branduoliniams sprogstamiesiems įtaisams gamybos nutraukimo sutartis

| 41. | ES tebėra vieninga ir įsipareigojusi remti patikrinamą sutartimis grindžiamą branduolinį nusiginklavimą ir ginklų kontrolę ir pabrėžia, kad reikia atnaujinti daugiašales pastangas ir iš naujo suaktyvinti daugiašalius derybų organus, visų pirma Nusiginklavimo konferenciją. Ilgalaikis ES prioritetas Nusiginklavimo konferencijoje yra nedelsiant pradėti derybas dėl Daliųjų medžiagų branduoliniams ginklams arba kitiems branduoliniams sprogstamiesiems įtaisams gamybos nutraukimo sutarties (FMCT). ES pritaria tam, kad tokios derybos būtų pradėtos remiantis dokumentu CD/1299 ir jame nustatytais įgaliojimais. ES ragina visus Nusiginklavimo konferencijos narius nedelsiant pradėti derybas dėl FMCT ir pradėti darbą kitais darbotvarkės klausimais. ES taip pat ragina visas branduolinį ginklą turinčias valstybes nedelsiant paskelbti branduoliniams ginklams ar kitiems branduoliniams sprogstamiesiems įtaisams skirtų daliųjų medžiagų gamybos moratoriumą ir jo laikytis, jei jos dar nėra to padariusios. Branduolinį ginklą turinti ES valstybė narė paskelbė atitinkamus moratoriumus ir išmontavo tokius įrenginius. |

| 47. | 2021 m. vasario mėn. Europos saugumo ir bendradarbiavimo organizacija (ESBO) baigė įgyvendinti 2017 m. liepos 11 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/1252, kuriuo remiamas cheminės saugos ir saugumo stiprinimas Ukrainoje laikantis Jungtinių Tautų Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos 1540 (2004) dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių neplatinimo įgyvendinimo (12). Šis procesas pradėtas 2012 m., įsteigus Cheminio saugumo darbo grupę pagal G7 visuotinę partnerystę. Šiuo sprendimu ES parėmė nacionalinių pajėgumų stiprinimą Ukrainoje, visų pirma Ukrainos nacionalinio ekspertinio centro, kuris identifikuotų kontroliuojamas ir nuodingąsias chemines medžiagas, įsteigimą. |

BIOLOGINIAI GINKLAI

| 48. | ES ir jos valstybės narės tvirtai remia Biologinių ir toksinių ginklų konvenciją (BTWC) ir labai aktyviai prisideda prie tarptautinių pastangų didinti biologinę saugą ir biologinį saugumą visame pasaulyje. Pagal bendruosius veiksmus ir Tarybos sprendimus nuo 2006 m. ES paskyrė virš 11 mln. EUR tiesioginei paramai BTWC. Be to, ES skyrė dar 6 mln. EUR paramai biologinės saugos ir saugumo stiprinimui Ukrainoje ir keliose Lotynų Amerikos šalyse, taip pat paramai JT generalinio sekretoriaus įtariamo cheminio ginklo ir biologinių ginklų naudojimo tyrimų mechanizmui. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | 2021 m. buvo toliau įgyvendinamas 2019 m. sausio 21 d. Tarybos sprendimas (BUSP) 2019/97 dėl paramos Biologinių ir toksinių ginklų konvencijai, atsižvelgiant į ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategiją (13), tačiau, kadangi jo įgyvendinimui didelį poveikį padarė COVID-19 pandemija, Taryba priėmė sprendimą, kuriuo numatomas pratęsimas vieniems metams be papildomų išlaidų. Šiame sprendime 2019–2023 m. laikotarpiui numatytas 3 mln. EUR biudžetas, skirtas JT Nusiginklavimo reikalų biurui (UNODA). Tai sudaro sąlygas BTWC Įgyvendinimo rėmimo padaliniui prisidėti prie šešių naujų projektų, kuriais remiamas visuotinis taikymas; nacionalinio įgyvendinimo pajėgumų stiprinimas, įskaitant tris tarpusavio vertinimus; biologinio saugumo skatinimas globaliuosiuose Pietuose; informavimo, švietimo ir bendradarbiavimo priemonių plėtojimas; taip pat parengties reaguoti į biologinius išpuolius didinimas. |

50.

| 51. | 2021 m. buvo toliau įgyvendinamas Tarybos sprendimas (BUSP) 2019/1296 (15), kuriuo remiamas biologinės saugos ir saugumo stiprinimas Ukrainoje laikantis 2019 m. liepos 31 d. Jungtinių Tautų Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos 1540 (2004) dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių neplatinimo įgyvendinimo, nors tam trukdė COVID-19 pandemija. Pagal šį sprendimą, kurį įgyvendina ESBO, trejų metų laikotarpiui numatyta 1,9 mln. EUR parama. Šiuo sprendimu ES remia biologinės saugos ir saugumo stiprinimą Ukrainoje, visų pirma gerinant Ukrainos teisės aktų ir reglamentavimo bazę ir jos žmonių ir gyvūnų sveikatos sistemas, taip pat didinant gyvybės mokslų srities mokslininkų informuotumą. |

51.

| 52. | 2021 m. buvo toliau įgyvendinamas 2019 m. gruodžio 9 d. Tarybos sprendimas (BUSP) 2019/2108, kuriuo remiamas biologinės saugos ir saugumo stiprinimas Lotynų Amerikoje laikantis Jungtinių Tautų Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos 1540 (2004) dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių neplatinimo įgyvendinimo (16), tačiau COVID-19 pandemija tam gerokai sutrukdė. Pagal šį sprendimą, kurį įgyvendina Amerikos valstybių organizacija, trejų metų laikotarpiui numatyta 2,7 mln. EUR parama. |

52.

| 53. | 2021 m. buvo toliau įgyvendinamas 2020 m. birželio 2 d. Tarybos sprendimas (BUSP) 2020/732 dėl paramos JT Generalinio sekretoriaus mechanizmui dėl įtariamo cheminių ir biologinių arba toksinių ginklų naudojimo tyrimų (17). Pagal šį sprendimą, kurį įgyvendina UNODA, trejų metų laikotarpiui numatyta 1,4 mln. EUR parama. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | 2021 m. spalio mėn. ES vykdė informavimo kampaniją Niujorke ir Ženevoje, taip pat daugelio JT valstybių narių sostinėse. Šia informavimo kampanija buvo siekiama paraginti JT valstybes nares 76-ojoje JT GA sesijoje neremti Rusijos rezoliucijos dėl JT generalinio sekretoriaus mechanizmo projekto, kuris neatitiko generalinio sekretoriaus mechanizmo, kaip nepriklausomos tarptautinės įtariamo cheminio ginklo ir biologinių ginklų naudojimo tyrimų priemonės, koncepcijos; būtent tokiai koncepcijai ES tvirtai pritaria. Antrus metus iš eilės dauguma JT valstybių narių atmetė Rusijos Federacijos remiamą rezoliuciją. |

BALISTINĖS RAKETOS

Hagos elgesio kodeksas

| 55. | Hagos kovos su balistinių raketų platinimu elgesio kodeksas (HCOC) yra tarptautinės bendruomenės pastangų reglamentuoti balistinių raketų, galinčių nešti masinio naikinimo ginklus, sritį rezultatas. HCOC yra vienintelė daugiašalė skaidrumo ir pasitikėjimo stiprinimo priemonė balistinių raketų plitimo srityje. Prisijungdamos prie HCOC, narės prisiima savanorišką įsipareigojimą teikti išankstinius pranešimus apie balistinių raketų ir nešančiųjų raketų paleidimą ir bandomuosius skrydžius. Prisijungusios valstybės taip pat įsipareigoja kasmet teikti deklaracijas apie jų šalies politiką balistinių raketų ir nešančiųjų raketų srityje. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | ES tvirtai remia Kodeksą nuo pat jo parengimo. Prie jo prisijungė visos ES valstybės narės. Nuo politiškai įpareigojančio HCOC pasirašymo ir įsigaliojimo 2002 m. lapkričio mėn. Hagoje (Nyderlandai) pasirašiusių šalių skaičius išaugo nuo 93 iki 143. Prie to prisidėjo ir ES pakartotinė diplomatinė informavimo veikla kelių prie Kodekso neprisijungusių valstybių atžvilgiu remiant visuotinį Kodekso taikymą. 2022 m. bus minimos 20-osios Kodekso metinės, o tai suteiks galimybę aktyviau informuoti prie Kodekso neprisijungusias valstybes. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Per pastarąjį dešimtmetį ES Taryba priėmė kelis BUSP sprendimus, kuriais remiamas Hagos elgesio kodeksas ir raketų neplatinimas. Pagal šiuos Tarybos sprendimus ES finansuoja informavimo apie HCOC veiklą, įskaitant gretutinius renginius, mokslinių tyrimų dokumentus, ekspertų susitikimus ir regioninius informuotumo didinimo seminarus. Šią veiklą vykdo Paryžiuje įsteigtas strateginių tyrimų centras „Fondation pour la recherche stratégique“ ir paprastai joje taip pat dalyvauja rotacijos tvarka HCOC susitikimams pirmininkaujanti valstybė. Nuo pat HCOC parengimo nemažai ES valstybių narių pirmininkavo jo susitikimams ir labai prisidėjo prie jo darbo. |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Pagal Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/2370 (18) ES toliau skatina, kad prie Kodekso prisijungtų dar daugiau valstybių ir kad galiausiai jis būtų visuotinai taikomas; remia visapusišką Kodekso įgyvendinimą; skatina prie Kodekso prisijungusių ir prie jo neprisijungusių valstybių dialogą siekiant stiprinti pasitikėjimą ir didinti skaidrumą; skatina susilaikymą ir užtikrina visiems didesnį stabilumą ir saugumą; didina Kodekso matomumą ir visuomenės informuotumą apie pavojus ir grėsmes, kurias kelia balistinių raketų platinimas, ir ieško galimybių, visų pirma vykdant akademinius tyrimus, tobulinti Kodeksą ir skatinti bendradarbiavimą įgyvendinant Kodeksą ir kitas atitinkamas daugiašales priemones. 2021 m. dėl įgyvendinimo sunkumų COVID-19 pandemijos metu Sprendimo (BUSP) 2017/2370 įgyvendinimo laikotarpis buvo pratęstas iki 2023 m. sausio 21 d. |

JUNGTINIŲ TAUTŲ SAUGUMO TARYBOS REZOLIUCIJA 1540 IR ChBRB MEDŽIAGŲ RIZIKOS MAŽINIMAS

| 60. | JT Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucija (JT ST rezoliucija) 1540 (2004) tebėra vienas iš pagrindinių tarptautinės ginklų neplatinimo sistemos ramsčių. Tai pirmas tarptautinis dokumentas, kuriame integruotai ir išsamiai nagrinėjami masinio naikinimo ginklų, jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių ir susijusių medžiagų klausimai. JT ST rezoliucijoje 1540 (2004) visoms valstybėms nustatyti privalomi įsipareigojimai. Jais siekiama užkirsti kelią nevalstybiniams subjektams įsigyti tokių ginklų, jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių bei susijusių medžiagų ir atgrasyti juos nuo tokio įsigijimo. Pagal šią rezoliuciją, priimtą remiantis Jungtinių Tautų Chartijos VII skyriumi, reikalaujama, kad visos valstybės priimtų būtinus teisės aktus, kuriais nevalstybiniams subjektams būtų draudžiama įsigyti branduolinių, cheminių ar biologinių ginklų, ir įdiegtų tinkamą susijusių medžiagų kontrolę šalies viduje, kad būtų užkirstas kelias neteisėtai prekybai jomis. 2016 m. įvykdžius visapusišką JT ST rezoliucijos 1540 peržiūros procesą dar kartą patvirtinta jos svarba, reikšmingumas ir įtaka – tai atspindėta JT ST rezoliucijoje 2325. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | Kad padėtų įgyvendinti 2016 m. visapusiškos peržiūros rezultatus ir paremtų visišką JT ST rezoliucijos 1540 įgyvendinimą, 2017 m. gegužės 11 d. Taryba priėmė Sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/809 (19), kuriuo remiamas Jungtinių Tautų Saugumo Tarybos rezoliucijos 1540 (2004) dėl masinio naikinimo ginklų ir jų siuntimo į taikinį priemonių neplatinimo įgyvendinimas.
  Šis Tarybos sprendimas apima 56 mėnesių laikotarpį ir jį įgyvendina JT nusiginklavimo reikalų biuras (UNODA) Niujorke; tam tikras įgyvendinimo užduotis pagal subrangos sutartį jis pavedė ESBO sekretoriatui Vienoje. ES finansavimas naudojamas padedant valstybėms nustatyti, kokios konkrečios techninės pagalbos reikia, didinant informuotumą apie atitinkamas techninės pagalbos programas ir stiprinant bendradarbiavimą su tarptautinėmis ir regioninėmis organizacijomis siekiant paremti nacionalinių pajėgumų stiprinimo pastangas. |

| 62. | JRC 1540 rezoliucijos komiteto pirmininkui oficialiai perdavė Strateginės prekybos atlaso, kurį kartu parengė JRC ir JAV energetikos departamento Argono nacionalinė laboratorija, kopiją. Strateginės prekybos atlasas buvo parengtas siekiant skatinti supratimą apie pasaulinius prekybos strateginėmis prekėmis, t. y. karinės strateginės vertės prekėmis, įskaitant dvejopo naudojimo prekes, srautus. Atlasas išleistas dviem tomais, kuriuose pateikiama prekybos strateginėmis prekėmis apžvalga, suskirstyta pagal šalis (20) ir prekes (21). Strateginės prekybos atlasu naudojasi, inter alia, Pasaulio muitinių organizacija. Todėl buvo laikoma, kad juo gali domėtis 1540 rezoliucijos komiteto ekspertų grupė. |

62.

| 63. | ES ChBRB kompetencijos centrų iniciatyva buvo nustatyta 2010 m. kaip pasaulinė pajėgumų stiprinimo programa siekiant mažinti tyčinio, atsitiktinio arba gamtinio pobūdžio riziką, susijusią su cheminėmis, biologinėmis, radiologinėmis ir branduolinėmis medžiagomis ar veiksniais, ir riziką, kylančią susijusiems įrenginiams arba objektams. Iniciatyvą šiuo metu įgyvendina 62 šalys partnerės, suskirstytos į aštuonis regioninius sekretoriatus, įsikūrusius šiuose regionuose: Afrikos Atlanto vandenyno pakrantėje, Vidurinėje Azijoje, Rytų ir Centrinėje Afrikoje, Persijos įlankos bendradarbiavimo tarybos šalyse, Artimuosiuose Rytuose, Šiaurės Afrikoje ir Sahelyje, Pietryčių Azijoje, Pietryčių ir Rytų Europoje. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | ES ChBRB kompetencijos centrų iniciatyva buvo finansuojama pagal priemonę, kuria prisidedama prie stabilumo ir taikos (IcSP); ši priemonė nustojo galioti 2020 m., ir ją dabar pakeičia 2021–2027 m. Kaimynystės, vystomojo ir tarptautinio bendradarbiavimo priemonė (NDICI). Pagal ES ChBRB kompetencijos centrų iniciatyvą padaryta pažanga mažinant ChBRB medžiagų keliamą riziką – pagerinti pajėgumai ir bendradarbiavimas nacionaliniu ir regioniniu lygmenimis, buvo propaguojama saugos ir bendradarbiavimo kultūra, kaip teigiama 2018 m. Europos Audito Rūmų ataskaitoje (dok. SR14/2018, ECA). Remiamos dalyvaujančių valstybių pastangos savanoriškai sukurti, vadovaujantis poreikiais grindžiamu regioniniu požiūriu, nacionalines ir regionines koordinavimo bei valdymo struktūras. Šios platformos plėtoja ir stiprina nacionalinę ChBRB srities politiką ir stiprina pajėgumus remdamosi konkrečiais poreikiais, rizikos vertinimais ir nacionaliniais veiksmų planais. Jos remiamos pagal kelis regioninio bendradarbiavimo projektus, kurie finansuojami pagal šią iniciatyvą ir gali būti finansuojami pagal kitas finansavimo priemones. Nuo 2010 m. finansuoti 90 regioniniai projektai. Iniciatyvos biudžetas, nustatytas 11 metų laikotarpiui nuo 2010 m., sudaro apytikriai 275 mln. EUR. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Kompetencijos centrų tinklas šiuo metu yra gerai išplėtotas. COVID-19 pandemijos metu jis įrodė savo patikimumą ir tvarumą, kai keli regioniniai sekretoriatai inicijavo keletą internetinių seminarų, skirtų pasidalyti ekspertinėmis žiniomis, taip pat patirtimi ir geriausios praktikos pavyzdžiais epidemijos valdymo srityje. Suteikus ad hoc paramą kelioms šalims, joms padėta įdiegti tinkamas procedūras pirmiesiems infekcijos atvejams nustatyti. Teikiant ilgalaikę pagalbą, ypač daug dėmesio skiriant Afrikai, bus toliau didinami pajėgumai anksti nustatyti ir stebėti ypač pavojingus patogenus, vadovaujantis koncepcija „Viena sveikata“. Keliuose regionuose (Vidurinėje Azijoje, Pietryčių ir Rytų Europoje, Artimuosiuose Rytuose) buvo parengti arba rengiami regioniniai ChBRB veiksmų planai ir tarpregioninio bendradarbiavimo priemonės.
  Be to, ši iniciatyva yra pakankamai pažengusi, kad prisidėtų imantis kitų veiksmų, kuriais būtų sprendžiami saugumo valdymo klausimai, susiję su kibernetiniais nusikaltimais, terorizmu, ypatingos svarbos infrastruktūros objektais, suklastotais vaistais, hibridinėmis grėsmėmis ir sprogmenimis, ir kad būtų toliau plėtojamas bendradarbiavimas branduolinės ekspertizės, sienų kontrolės ir dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolės klausimais. Pagal šią iniciatyvą remiama veikla apima švietimo ir mokymo branduolinio saugumo klausimais veiklos įgyvendinimą siekiant didinti branduolinį saugumą, teorinio modeliavimo pratybų ir praktinių pratybų, grindžiamų branduolinės kontrabandos scenarijais, organizavimą, jaunų branduolinio saugumo specialistų mokymą ir regioninės branduolinės ekspertizės informacinės sistemos sukūrimą. |

| 66. | Kalbant apie ChBRB grėsmių mažinimo vidaus aspektus, 2019 m. pabaigoje buvo peržiūrėtas Pasirengimo cheminėms, biologinėms, radiologinėms ir branduolinėms saugumo grėsmėms didinimo veiksmų plano, kurį 2017 m. spalio mėn. Komisija pateikė kaip platesnio Kovos su terorizmu dokumentų rinkinio dalį, įgyvendinimas, ir šis dokumentas tebelaikomas aktualiu politikos pagrindu ChBRB srityje. 2020 m. Kovos su terorizmu darbotvarkėje sustiprinti kai kurie ChBRB aspektai, visų pirma susiję su cheminių veiksnių keliama grėsme ir biologiniu saugumu. Kalbant apie pirmuosius, Komisija šiuo metu nagrinėja galimybę apriboti prieigą prie kai kurių cheminių medžiagų, kurios gali būti naudojamos piktavališkiems tikslams. Darbas ChBRB aptikimo srityje, įskaitant kai kurių valstybių vykdomus Komisijos koordinuojamus įrangos bandymus, buvo tęsiamas, kaip planuota. Tačiau tam tikra 2019 m. pradėta ChBRB veikla 2020 m. turėjo būti sustabdyta – visų pirma ES teisėsaugos pareigūnų mokymo apie radiologines grėsmes kampanija, kuri buvo įgyvendinama EUSECTRA mokymo centre Karlsrūhėje (Vokietija). |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | Veiksmų plano įgyvendinimas remiamas projektais, bendrai finansuojamais iš Vidaus saugumo policijos fondo. Iš atrinktų iniciatyvų dvi buvo ypač svarbios ChBRB politikai. Pagal vieną iš jų (Mall-CBRN) nagrinėjama ChBRB srities apsauga ir parengtis dideliuose prekybos centruose, o pagal kitą (Safe Stadium) panašus požiūris taikomas didelėms sporto arenoms, visų pirma futbolo stadionams. Vienas iš abiejų iniciatyvų privalumų – atitinkamų galutinių naudotojų (pvz., futbolo klubo „Real Madrid“) dalyvavimas konsorciumuose. |

IDĖJŲ INSTITUTAI

| 68. | Remdamasis Tarybos sprendimu 2010/430/BUSP (22), ES konsorciumas masinio naikinimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo klausimais, pradėjęs veikti 2011 m. sausio mėn., aktyviai rėmė ES kovos su masinio naikinimo ginklų platinimu strategijos įgyvendinimą. 2018 m. vasario 26 d. Taryba priėmė Sprendimą (BUSP) 2018/299 (23), kuriuo dar labiau išplečiama ES parama konsorciumo veiklai 2018–2022 m. laikotarpiu, remiantis ligšioliniais pasiekimais ir papildant juos naujais projektais. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Konsorciumo veikla padidintas ES matomumas trečiosiose valstybėse bei pilietinėje visuomenėje ir svariai prisidėta prie ES politikos formavimo ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo srityse. Konsorciumas sudaro sąlygas specialistams palaikyti neformalius ryšius ir skatina įvairių suinteresuotųjų subjektų dialogą. Jo veikla padėjo didinti informuotumą apie masinio naikinimo ginklų ir įprastinių ginklų keliamas problemas, taip pat buvo nagrinėjamos galimybės tas problemas spręsti. Jo veikla grindžiama plačiu tinklu, apimančiu 104 idėjų institutus ir mokslinių tyrimų centrus visoje Europoje, įskaitant narius visose ES valstybėse narėse ir valstybėse partnerėse, pavyzdžiui, Norvegijoje, Serbijoje, Šveicarijoje, Turkijoje ir Ukrainoje. 2021 m. prie tinklo prisijungė penki institutai. |

69.

| 70. | Visuose konsorciumo renginiuose buvo užtikrinta dalyvių ir pranešėjų įvairovė lyties, amžiaus, praktinės patirties ir geografinio atstovavimo atžvilgiu. Dėl COVID-19 pandemijos sukeltų aplinkybių, išskyrus vieną išimtį 2021 m., šie renginiai vyko virtualioje erdvėje arba mišriu formatu. Konkrečiau, 2021 m., įgyvendindamas įvairius Tarybos sprendimo (BUSP) 2018/299 aspektus, konsorciumas organizavo šiuos renginius:






  a) | renginį „Neplatinimas, ginklų kontrolė ir nusiginklavimas: pokyčiai šioje srityje ir karjeros kryptys“ (2021 m. vasario 10 d.); |

EKSPORTO KONTROLĖ

| 72. | 2021 m. Tarybos įprastinės ginkluotės eksporto darbo grupė (COARM darbo grupė) tęsė darbą, susijusį su rezultatų, nurodytų Tarybos išvadose dėl Bendrosios pozicijos 2008/944 BUSP dėl ginklų eksporto kontrolės peržiūros (25), pasiekimu. COARM darbo grupė parengė Tarybos sprendimą dėl galutinių naudotojų pažymėjimų šaulių ir lengvųjų ginklų bei jų šaudmenų eksporto kontekste. Šis sprendimas buvo priimtas 2021 m. sausio mėn. ir juo prisidedama prie tolesnės valstybių narių ginklų eksporto politikos konvergencijos. EIVT pradėjo kurti licencijas išduodančių pareigūnų duomenų bazę, kuri taip pat dar labiau padidins valstybių narių ginklų eksporto politikos konvergenciją. COARM darbo grupė tęsė informavimo veiklą ir nuolatinį dialogą su įvairiais suinteresuotaisiais subjektais, įskaitant pilietinės visuomenės organizacijas, Tarptautinį Raudonojo Kryžiaus komitetą ir Europos gynybos pramonės atstovus. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | ES taip pat tęsė informavimo veiklą, kurios tikslas – remti trečiąsias valstybes joms kuriant ginklų eksporto kontrolės sistemas, taip pat propaguoti visuotinį Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais (SPG) taikymą. Pagal 2020 m. spalio 12 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2020/1464 dėl veiksmingos ginklų eksporto kontrolės skatinimo (26), kurį įgyvendina Vokietijos federalinė ekonomikos reikalų ir eksporto kontrolės tarnyba (BAFA), surengti keli praktiniai seminarai ir individualios pagalbos renginiai – dėl pandemijos daugiausia virtualiu formatu. Be to, pagal Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2017/915 (27) ir jį pakeičiantį 2021 m. gruodžio 22 d. Tarybos sprendimą (BUSP) 2021/2309 dėl Sąjungos informavimo veiklos remiant Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais įgyvendinimą (28), kurį įgyvendina BAFA ir „Expertise France“, buvo vykdoma tolesnė regioninė informavimo veikla, įgyvendinamos tikslinės nacionalinės pagalbos programos ir rengiami ad hoc individualios pagalbos praktiniai seminarai. 2021 m. ES nusprendė Tarybos sprendimu (BUSP) 2021/649 (29) remti SPG sekretoriato veiklą siekiant remti Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais įgyvendinimą. Šiuo projektu toliau stiprinama daugiašalė paramos sistema, kuria grindžiama SPG. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | 2021 m. įvyko politinio dialogo susitikimai ginklų eksporto kontrolės klausimais su Norvegija ir Jungtinėmis Valstijomis. Šiuose politinio dialogo susitikimuose vyko vaisingos diskusijos abipusio intereso klausimais, pavyzdžiui, eksporto į konkrečias paskirties šalis politikos, reikalavimų laikymosi bei kontrolės ir Sutarties dėl prekybos ginklais proceso klausimais. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | JT GA Pirmojo komiteto veiklos kontekste ES aktyviai prieštaravo Kinijos rezoliucijai „Tarptautinio bendradarbiavimo, susijusio su taikiu naudojimu tarptautinio saugumo kontekste, skatinimas“. Kinija pateikė rezoliuciją, kurioje JT sekretoriato prašoma sužinoti visų JT valstybių narių nuomones dėl vadinamųjų „nepagrįstų apribojimų“ didesnės rizikos prekių ir kontroliuojamų prekių eksportui į besivystančias šalis. ES mano, kad šia rezoliucija sukuriama klaidinga dichotomija tarp branduolinių, cheminių ir biologinių medžiagų taikaus naudojimo ir eksporto kontrolės priemonių bei režimų. Eksporto kontrolė yra būtina siekiant palaikyti tarptautinę taiką ir saugumą ir užkirsti kelią didesnės rizikos prekių ir medžiagų platinimui. Esami eksporto kontrolės režimai grindžiami tarptautiniais teisiniais įsipareigojimais. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | 2021 m. ES toliau reguliariai atnaujino savo teisės normas, kad būtų atsižvelgta į daugiašalių eksporto kontrolės režimų pokyčius. Taigi, 2021 m. spalio 20 d. Europos Komisija priėmė deleguotąjį reglamentą, kuriuo ES dvejopo naudojimo kontrolės sąrašas buvo atnaujintas atsižvelgiant į 2020 m. priimtus sprendimus, susijusius su daugiašaliais eksporto kontrolės režimais. Į atnaujintą kontrolinį sąrašą įtraukta nauja pastaba dėl biologinio izoliavimo kamerų, izoliatorių ar biologiškai saugių spintų kontrolės, kad būtų įtrauktas bet koks izoliatorius, atitinkantis visas prekės aprašyme nurodytas charakteristikas, neatsižvelgiant į jo paskirtį ir pavadinimą. Juo taip pat keičiama „ypač atsparių lydinių“ apibrėžtis, kad būtų nustatytas didžiausias tokių medžiagų tempiamasis stipris. |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Dvejopo naudojimo prekių kontrolės koordinavimo grupė toliau rėmė veiksmingą ir nuoseklų eksporto kontrolės įgyvendinimą ES. 2021 m. buvo įdiegta naujų „Dvejopo naudojimo prekių elektroninės sistemos“ funkcijų, kad būtų galima taikyti naujas reglamento nuostatas, pvz., dėl dalijimosi informacija apie atsisakymus perduoti labai didelės rizikos prekes ES viduje. Taip pat buvo įdiegta nauja funkcija, skirta padėti keistis informacija su JK kompetentinga institucija pagal Šiaurės Airijos protokolą. Po kelerių pasirengimo metų 2021 m. dviejose valstybėse narėse (Latvijoje ir Rumunijoje) buvo įdiegta Komisijos sukurta elektroninė licencijavimo sistema, o kitos valstybės narės tęsė parengiamuosius darbus, kad ją būtų galima įdiegti 2022 m. Siekiant užtikrinti eksporto kontrolės ir licencijavimo veiklos skaidrumą, buvo paskelbta Eksporto kontrolės metinė ataskaita (30), o 2021 m. gruodžio 8 d. buvo surengtas 2021 m. Eksporto kontrolės forumas, kuriame dalyvavo valstybių narių, pramonės ir pilietinės visuomenės suinteresuotieji subjektai (31). |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | Atlikus ES eksporto kontrolės politikos peržiūrą, 2021 m. gegužės 20 d. buvo priimtas ir 2021 m. rugsėjo mėn. įsigaliojo naujas Reglamentas (ES) 2021/821 (32). Siekiant padidinti kontrolės efektyvumą ir veiksmingumą, naujuoju Reglamentu padaryta išsamių pakeitimų – be kita ko, atnaujintos apibrėžtys ir kontrolės parametrai, suderintas, supaprastintas ir suskaitmenintas licencijų išdavimas, išplėstas dalijimasis informacija ir bendradarbiavimas su trečiosiomis valstybėmis. Naujuoju reglamentu įdiegtas naujas „žmogiškojo požiūrio į saugumą“ aspektas, kad ES galėtų reaguoti į iššūkius, kuriuos kelia atsirandančios dvejopo naudojimo technologijos (visų pirma kibernetinio stebėjimo technologijos), keliančios pavojų nacionaliniam ir tarptautiniam saugumui, įskaitant žmogaus teisių apsaugą. Jame taip pat numatyta, kad ES gali reaguoti į besiformuojančių technologijų keliamus iššūkius. |
| --- | --- |

78.

| 79. | 2021 m. pandemija toliau darė didelį poveikį daugiašalių eksporto kontrolės režimų veikimui; plenarinius posėdžius teko atšaukti, atidėti arba rengti mažesne sudėtimi, tačiau darbo grupėms pavyko tam tikru mastu tęsti darbą per virtualius susitikimus ir buvo priimti sprendimai dėl techninių pasiūlymų. ES dalyvavo Australijos grupės ir Branduolinių tiekėjų grupės (NSG) posėdžiuose. Nors NSG plenarinis posėdis vyko mažesnės sudėties fiziniu formatu ir priimant sprendimus ribotu mastu, o dėl to NSG gairėse nebuvo padaryta jokių pakeitimų, jis padėjo užtikrinti grupės veiklos tęstinumą. |
| --- | --- |

79.

| 80. | Šešiuose regionuose buvo toliau įgyvendinama ES partnerystės principu grindžiama (P2P) eksporto kontrolės programa, kuria siekiama didinti dvejopo naudojimo prekių ir susijusių medžiagų, įrangos bei technologijų eksporto kontrolės sistemų veiksmingumą. 2021 m. programa buvo vykdoma 41 šalyje, įskaitant 14 šalių, kurios dalyvauja eksporto kontrolės tikslinėse iniciatyvose, vykdomose kartu su Ukrainos mokslo ir technologijų centru bei Kazachstano tarptautiniu mokslo ir technologijų centru. Surengti keli regioniniai praktiniai seminarai, nacionaliniai pagalbos renginiai ir ad hoc paramos seminarai – dėl pandemijos daugiausia virtualiu formatu. |
| --- | --- |

80.

| 81. | ES P2P eksporto kontrolės programos veiksmai buvo toliau intensyviai koordinuojami su JAV valstybės departamento eksporto kontrolės ir susijusio sienų saugumo programa. Surengti bendri ES ir JAV seminarai siekiant pasikeisti informacija apie grėsmių vertinimo metodikas, apibrėžti bendrus poveikio rodiklius ir koordinuoti pagalbą vietoje. 2021 m. rugpjūčio 16–20 d. Užsienio politikos priemonių tarnyba (FPI) ir JRC internetu surengė 7-ąją ES P2P vasaros universitetinę sesiją strateginės prekybos kontrolės klausimais, skirtą ES P2P dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolės programos valstybėms partnerėms. ES P2P portalas https://cbrn-risk-mitigation.network.europa.eu/eu-p2p-export-control-programme_en ir toliau naudojamas kaip visoms ES informavimo programoms įprastinių ginklų ir dvejopo naudojimo prekių eksporto kontrolės srityje skirta platforma, siekiant pagal poreikius pritaikyti keitimąsi informacija su ES valstybėmis partnerėmis. Programa ir toliau bus finansuojama pagal KVTBP „Globali Europa“. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | 2021 m. JRC paskelbė antrą peržiūrėtą Cheminių medžiagų eksporto kontrolės vadovo redakciją, taip pat JRC portale paskelbė ir duomenų bazę (33). |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | 2021 m. sausio mėn. Komisijos JRC paskelbė apie naują TIM dvejopo naudojimo prekių internetinę platformą, kurioje suteikiama galimybė apžvelgti daugiau kaip 70 mln. mokslinių tyrimų santraukų (Scopus), patentų (Patstat) ir ES finansuojamų projektų (CORDIS duomenų bazė) naudojant daugiau kaip 200 paieškos algoritmų, išskiriančių galimai dvejopo naudojimo srities dokumentus (34). |
| --- | --- |

83.

| 84. | Raketų technologijų kontrolės režimas (MTCR) yra neformali ir savanoriška asociacija, vienijanti šalis, kurios laikosi vienodų tikslų dėl nepilotuojamų pristatymo sistemų, galinčių pristatyti masinio naikinimo ginklą, neplatinimo ir siekia koordinuoti nacionalines eksporto licencijavimo pastangas, kad būtų užkirstas kelias jų platinimui. MTCR dalyvaujančios vyriausybės įsipareigojo laikytis bendrų eksporto politikos gairių (MTCR gairių), kurios taikomos nedalomam bendrajam kontroliuojamų prekių sąrašui (MTCR įrangos, programinės įrangos ir technologijų sąrašui). MTCR partneriai reguliariai keičiasi informacija atitinkamais nacionalinio eksporto licencijavimo klausimais. MTCR gairės ir kontrolės sąrašai yra tarptautinės geriausios praktikos kriterijai, kuriais vadovaujantis turi būti kontroliuojamas su raketomis susijusių prekių ir technologijų eksportas. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | MTCR kontekste ES itin svarbus klausimas tebėra tai, kad blokuojamas devynių ES valstybių narių – Estijos, Kipro, Kroatijos, Latvijos, Lietuvos, Maltos, Rumunijos, Slovakijos ir Slovėnijos – prisijungimas prie šio režimo. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | Be to, tam, kad eksporto kontrolės režimai, tokie kaip MTCR, veiktų ir būtų patikimi, itin svarbus pirmininkavimo šiems režimams tęstinumas ir nuspėjamumas. ES valstybės narės, kurios yra MTCR narės, pateikė svarstymui plenariniame susitikime neoficialų dokumentą „Dėl pirmininkavimo klausimų“, kuriame nagrinėjamos galimybės paskatinti ir remti tvarų pirmininkavimą režimui. ES ir toliau diskutuos su nariais apie įvairias galimybes. Režimo kontekste ES visada pritaria tam, kad būtų priimti griežti MTCR vieši pareiškimai, atspindintys tarptautiniu mastu kilusį susirūpinimą dėl Irano ir KLDR įvykdytų balistinių raketų paleidimų ir reikšmingo raketų technologijų plėtojimo šiose šalyse. |

86.

KOSMOSAS

| 87. | ES ir jos valstybės narės toliau aktyviai skatino išsaugoti saugią ir tvarią kosmoso aplinką ir taikiai naudoti kosminę erdvę remiantis teisingu ir visiems, esamoms ir būsimoms kartoms, priimtinu pagrindu. Mes toliau pabrėžėme skaidrumo ir pasitikėjimo stiprinimo priemonių svarbą ir būtinybę Jungtinių Tautų sistemoje propaguoti atsakingą elgesį kosminėje erdvėje. Šiuo atžvilgiu ES teikė su kosmosu susijusius pareiškimus JT Generalinėje Asamblėjoje. |
| --- | --- |

87.

| 88. | ES ir jos valstybės narės tebebuvo tvirtai įsipareigojusios užkirsti kelią ginklavimosi varžyboms kosminėje erdvėje, nes tai itin svarbu siekiant stiprinti tarptautinį saugumą bei stabilumą ir užtikrinti ilgalaikį kosminės erdvės aplinkos naudojimą taikiais tikslais. Toliau reiškėme susirūpinimą dėl visų priešpalydovinių ginklų ir pajėgumų, įskaitant antžeminius, plėtojimo ir akcentavome, kad svarbu greitai spręsti tokio plėtojimo klausimus tarptautinių pastangų užkirsti kelią ginklavimosi varžyboms kosminėje erdvėje kontekste. |
| --- | --- |

88.

| 89. | ES ir jos valstybės narės palankiai įvertino tai, kad prie Kosminės erdvės taikaus naudojimo komiteto Mokslo ir technikos pakomitečio buvo įsteigta Veiklos kosminėje erdvėje ilgalaikio tvarumo darbo grupė. Ši darbo grupė sudarys palankesnes sąlygas keistis žiniomis, gerosios praktikos pavyzdžiais ir patirtimi, įgyta įgyvendinant priimtas gaires, padės didinti informuotumą ir stiprinti pajėgumus, taip pat spręs naujus uždavinius, susijusius su veiklos kosminėje erdvėje ilgalaikiu tvarumu, pavyzdžiui, susijusius su didelėmis palydovų grupėmis. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | ES ir jos valstybės narės po to, kai buvo priimta nauja rezoliucija dėl grėsmių mažinimo atsakingai elgiantis (JT GA rezoliucija 75/36) (35), prisidėjo rengiant JT generalinio sekretoriaus ataskaitą pateikdamos bendrą ES medžiagą, o kai kurios iš jų pateikė nacionalinės medžiagos. Be to, jos palankiai įvertino tai, kad priimta JT GA rezoliucija 76/231 „Kosmoso grėsmių mažinimas taikant atsakingo elgesio normas, taisykles ir principus“ (36), nes tai yra savalaikis žingsnis siekiant prisidėti prie su kosmine erdve susijusių grėsmių ir rizikos mažinimo ir skatinti atsakingą elgesį kosminėje erdvėje, visų pirma Jungtinių Tautų veiklos kontekste. Jos visiškai pritarė tam, kad būtų įsteigta neribotos sudėties darbo grupė – tai sudaro sąlygas išsamioms diskusijoms dėl grėsmių mažinimo atsakingai elgiantis. Jos paragino visas šalis konstruktyviai bendradarbiauti, kad būtų pasiektas bendras supratimas apie atsakingą elgesį kosminėje erdvėje; ES bendrai prisidės prie šio proceso. Jos taip pat patvirtino, kad svarbu kartu tęsti ir intensyvinti pastangas įveikti iššūkius kosminėje erdvėje, dalyvaujant visoms JT valstybėms narėms ir atitinkamoms organizacijoms. |

NUOSTATOS DĖL MASINIO NAIKINIMO GINKLŲ (MNG) NEPLATINIMO

| 91. | Laikydamasi MNG neplatinimo politikos ir 2003 m. Tarybos išvadų, ES toliau dėjo pastangas, kad į susitarimus su valstybėmis partnerėmis būtų integruoti įsipareigojimai dėl MNG neplatinimo. 2021 m. vyko derybos su Tailandu dėl partnerystės ir bendradarbiavimo susitarimo. |
| --- | --- |

91.

KITI DAUGIAŠALIAI FORUMAI

| 92. | ES toliau aktyviai dalyvavo G7 už ginklų neplatinimo klausimus atsakingų direktorių grupės susitikimuose. 2021 m. ES dalyvavo pirmininkaujant Jungtinei Karalystei surengtuose posėdžiuose, kuriuose daugiausia dėmesio skirta aktualiems ginklų neplatinimo ir nusiginklavimo klausimams, taip pat tam, kad būtų daroma tolesnė pažanga koordinuojant už ginklų neplatinimo klausimus atsakingų direktorių grupės darbą, susijusį su koordinuotu atsaku į nuolatines KLDR provokacijas ir TATENA saugos garantijų įvertinimu. |
| --- | --- |

92.

| 93. | ES tebėra įsipareigojusi remti visuotinę partnerystę kovai su masinio naikinimo ginklų ir medžiagų plitimu. 2021 m. ES priėmė Tarybos sprendimą, kuriuo remiamas atsparumo biologinės saugos ir biologinio saugumo srityje didinimas pasitelkiant BTWC pagal visuotinės partnerystės pavyzdinę iniciatyvą „Biologinės grėsmės mažinimas Afrikoje“. Be to, ES dalyvauja visuotinėje partnerystėje teikdama techninę pagalbą (grėsmių vertinimas, nacionaliniai veiksmų planai); ši pagalba visame pasaulyje teikiama pagal ES ChBRB rizikos mažinimo kompetencijos centrų iniciatyvą. |

With this Decision, the EU is supporting one of the key elements of the global nuclear security and anti-terrorism architecture, the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism (ICSANT).

The objectives of the support are to increase the number of adherents to ICSANT, to raise awareness among national policy- and decision-makers, as well as capacity-building: to help improve national legislation and to strengthen the capacity of national stakeholders, including criminal justice officials to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate cases of nuclear terrorism.

The Council Decision aims to build synergies with on-going EU projects in support for relevant international legal instruments, such as the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and UN Security Council Resolution 1540.

The Council Decision will promote the universalization and effective implementation of ICSANT through the development and maintenance of a password-protected website on all resources on ICSANT including examples of national legislation; the development of an e-learning module on ICSANT, to be translated into at least four UN official languages; the provision of relevant legislative assistance; capacity building of relevant stakeholders including criminal justice officials that could be involved in investigating, prosecuting and adjudicating cases involving nuclear and other radioactive material covered by ICSANT; holding of global and regional workshops and country visits and by the collection and dissemination of good practices.

Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and /or trafficking of WMD. | Wojskowy Instytut Higieny i Epidemiologii | 3 914 034 | 12.2013-12.2016 |

Strengthening Capacities in CBRN Response and in Chemical and Medical Emergency

The CBRN emergency response needs to be identified and prioritised per country. Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and /or trafficking of WMD.
