Výročná správa o pokroku vo vykonávaní stratégie Európskej únie proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia (2021)

(2022/C 310/01)

ÚVOD

| 1. | Táto správa o pokroku vo vykonávaní stratégie Európskej únie proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia (ZHN), ktorú Európska rada prijala v decembri 2003 (dokument 15708/03), sa venuje činnostiam vykonávaným v roku 2021. Správa nie je vyčerpávajúca, sústreďuje sa na najdôležitejší vývoj. |

| 3. | Mnohostrannú prácu v roku 2021 v oblasti nešírenia a odzbrojenia naďalej ovplyvňovala pandémia COVID-19, a to najmä z dôvodu cestovných obmedzení. Hoci viaceré multilaterálne zasadnutia boli odložené, najmä 10. hodnotiaca konferencia Zmluvy o nešírení jadrových zbraní (NPT) a 9. konferencia o preskúmaní Dohovoru o bakteriologických a toxínových zbraniach, mnohé ďalšie zasadnutia bolo možné zorganizovať online a niektoré z nich aj s osobnou účasťou. Týmto spôsobom mohli multilaterálne diskusie pokračovať, hoci sa konštatovalo, že interakcie prostredníctvom videokonferencií majú mnohé obmedzenia. |

Zmluva o nešírení jadrových zbraní a Medzinárodná agentúra pre atómovú energiu

| 8. | Cyklus preskúmania NPT sa mal dokončiť v apríli/máji 2020 na desiatej hodnotiacej konferencii NPT. Vzhľadom na pandémiu COVID-19 a následné cestovné obmedzenia sa štáty, ktoré sú zmluvnými stranami zmluvy, v marci 2020 dohodli, že hodnotiacu konferenciu odložia na január 2021. Neskôr v tom istom roku bola hodnotiaca konferencia opäť odložená, a to predbežne na august 2021, potom na január 2022 a napokon na august 2022. EÚ prispela ku všetkým relevantným diskusiám organizovaným vo virtuálnom formáte alebo za osobnej účasti vrátane všeobecnej diskusie na 75. zasadnutí Prvého výboru Valného zhromaždenia OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia a medzinárodnú bezpečnosť. Osobitná vyslankyňa tiež viedla niekoľko konzultácií s kľúčovými partnermi a zúčastnila sa na mnohých seminároch a workshopoch. |

| 9. | V roku 2021 sa ďalej vykonávalo rozhodnutie Rady (SZBP) 2019/615 (2) o podpore zo strany Únie na činnosti vedúce k hodnotiacej konferencii zmluvných strán NPT a v tejto súvislosti sa 13. až 14. novembra 2021 konal v Ammáne regionálny seminár pre región Blízkeho východu, ktorý usporiadal Úrad OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia (UNODA). Hlavným cieľom tohto rozhodnutia Rady bolo pomôcť dosiahnuť úspešný výsledok hodnotiacej konferencie NPT a vytvorenie realistického a realizovateľného súboru opatrení a odporúčaní, ktoré môžu získať konsenzus. Zostávajúce regionálne stretnutie určené regiónu Latinskej Ameriky, ktoré sa malo zameriavať na všetky tri piliere NPT z hľadiska regionálnych priorít a obáv, nebolo možné z dôvodu pandémie COVID-19 zorganizovať. Rozhodnutie (SZBP) 2019/615 o podpore zo strany Únie na činnosti vedúce k hodnotiacej konferencii sa po tom, ako uplynula jeho účinnosť, 8. apríla 2021 a 21. septembra 2021 predĺžilo do 15. januára 2022 bez toho, aby z tohto predĺženia vyplynuli akékoľvek náklady. |

| 10. | EÚ naďalej podporovala základné úlohy Medzinárodnej agentúry pre atómovú energiu (MAAE) v oblasti nešírenia zbraní, a to aj prostredníctvom svojho systému záruk, ako aj v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti, fyzickej ochrany jadrových materiálov a jadrových zariadení, aplikácií jadrovej energie a technickej spolupráce, a to aj prostredníctvom príslušnej finančnej podpory. EÚ a Euratom sa aktívne zúčastňovali na všetkých zasadnutiach riadiacich orgánov MAAE, pričom koordinácia EÚ prebiehala vo Viedni. Na 65. generálnej konferencii MAAE, ktorá sa konala v septembri 2021 vo Viedni sa konsenzom prijali dve rezolúcie o jadrových zárukách a fyzickej ochrane, ktoré sprostredkovala EÚ. Delegácia EÚ vo Viedni koordinovala počas celého roka viac ako 40 vyhlásení EÚ ku všetkým relevantným otázkam týkajúcich sa MAAE. |

12.

| 13. | Dohody o komplexných bezpečnostných zárukách sú spolu s dodatkovými protokolmi v súčasnosti normou pre overovanie a EÚ aj naďalej vyzýva na ich všeobecné dodržiavanie. Úzka spolupráca medzi Euratomom a MAAE umožňuje prijímať účinné a efektívne bezpečnostné záruky. EÚ aktívne podporuje systém bezpečnostných záruk MAAE prostredníctvom podporného programu Európskej komisie (EC – SP) zameraného na bezpečnostné záruky, nástroja spolupráce v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti (INSC), ako aj prostredníctvom podporných programov niektorých členských štátov. Uvedeným programom Komisie sa v minulosti posilnili spôsobilosti MAAE v oblasti jadrových bezpečnostných záruk vrátane technickej odbornej prípravy inšpektorov a spôsobilostí na overovanie vykonávania JCPOA, a to tým, že sa inšpektorom MAAE pre bezpečnostné záruky poskytuje odborná príprava zameraná na doplnkový prístup a fungovanie kombinovaného postupu na analýzu koncentrácie a obohatenia uránu (tzv. postupu COMPUCEA) na účely overovania obohacovania UF6 vrátane príslušných referenčných materiálov. Programom EC-SP sa podporuje sieť analytických laboratórií MAAE v ich mandátoch na overovanie JCPOA prostredníctvom analytických služieb, štandardizovaných metód a nástrojov na kontrolu kvality. Sieť analytických laboratórií MAAE sa podporuje pri vývoji nových metód a meracích protokolov pre analýzu environmentálnych vzoriek zo sterov podľa dodatkového protokolu, a to najmä analýzou častíc a výrobou a certifikáciou referenčných častíc. Prostredníctvom INSC poskytla EÚ finančnú podporu na overovacie činnosti v Iráne podľa prílohy I k JCPOA a na podporu štátneho systému evidencie a kontroly jadrových materiálov (ŠSEK) v partnerských krajinách. |

13.

| 14. | Európska komisia naďalej riadi a aktívne podporuje Európske združenie pre výskum a vývoj v oblasti bezpečnostných záruk (ESARDA), ktoré tiež pokračuje v medzinárodnej osvetovej činnosti prostredníctvom memoránd o porozumení s Africkou komisiou pre jadrovú energiu a Ázijsko-tichomorskou sieťou pre bezpečnostné záruky v úzkej spolupráci s Inštitútom pre nakladanie s jadrovými materiálmi. Pracovné skupiny združenia ESARDA vypracúvajú, testujú a overujú inovačné bezpečnostné záruky a prístupy k nešíreniu jadrových zbraní, ktoré priamo využíva riaditeľstvo pre jadrové bezpečnostné záruky GR ENER a Odbor bezpečnostných záruk v rámci Medzinárodnej agentúry pre atómovú energiu. Napriek obmedzeniam súvisiacim s pandémiou COVID sa na diaľku uskutočnili technické školenia inšpektorov Euratomu v oblasti obohacovania uránu, overovania izotopového zloženia plutónia a laserového mapovania pre overovanie šírenia radiácie (LMCV). Pred pandémiou sa uskutočnilo aj školenie v oblasti počítania neutrónov. V apríli 2021 sa konal zavedený kurz ESARDA na tému jadrových bezpečnostných záruk a nešírenia zbraní, ktorý bol v roku 2020 zrušený. Výsledky výskumu a vývoja, ako aj iniciatívy v oblasti vzdelávania a odbornej prípravy zlepšujú európske a medzinárodné spôsobilosti v oblasti jadrových bezpečnostných záruk a strategickú kontrolu obchodu. Výsledky tejto práce sa použili ako príspevok k iniciatívam v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti a jadrového odzbrojenia. Spoločné výskumné centrum Európskej komisie (JRC) získalo skúsenosti s odbornou prípravou inšpektorov bezpečnostných záruk na diaľku, a tieto skúsenosti sa potom prostredníctvom trojstranných stretnutí (MAAE, Euratom a JRC) poskytli MAAE. V auguste 2021 sa vo virtuálnom formáte uskutočnilo vôbec prvé spoločné výročné stretnutie s Inštitútom pre nakladanie s jadrovými materiálmi. |

| 15. | Európska komisia financovala v rámci nástroja spolupráce v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti rozsiahly projekt odbornej prípravy a vzdelávania v oblasti jadrových bezpečnostných záruk s Európskou sieťou vzdelávania v jadrovej oblasti (ENEN). V rámci tejto zmluvy ENEN spolupracuje s Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), JRC, ESARDA a MAAE na vytvorení vôbec prvého akademického postgraduálneho programu v oblasti jadrových bezpečnostných záruk na akademický rok 2021/2022. Po intenzívnom výberovom konaní bolo z celkového počtu 66 uchádzačov vybratých 25 študentov. Polovica z nich pochádza z afrického kontinentu a viac ako polovicu tvoria ženy. Magisterský program, ktorý prebieha od októbra 2021, inauguroval okrem iného GR MAAE, GR WNA, výkonný tajomník výboru AFCONE. Do výučby je zapojených až 50 odborníkov, ktorí program poskytujú vo virtuálnom formáte prostredníctvom videoprednášok, webinárov, cvičení a skúšok. |

15.

| 16. | V roku 2021 sa v súvislosti s tretími krajinami vydalo niekoľko demaršov EÚ s cieľom posilniť systém záruk MAAE, a to s osobitným zameraním na všeobecné uplatňovanie zmeneného protokolu o malých množstvách (SQP) a dodatkového protokolu (5). Okrem toho ako súčasť širšieho úsilia skupiny priateľov dodatkového protokolu so sídlom vo Viedni predložila EÚ v marci 2021 na Kapverdoch demarš na podporu všeobecného uplatňovania dohody o komplexných bezpečnostných zárukách a jej dodatkového protokolu. |

16.

| 17. | EÚ a jej členské štáty prikladajú celosvetovému dodržiavaniu jadrovej bezpečnosti a jej neustálemu zlepšovaniu mimoriadny význam. EÚ prostredníctvom novely smernice o jadrovej bezpečnosti, ktorá nadobudla účinnosť v roku 2017, dodala právnu silu cieľom Viedenskej deklarácie o jadrovej bezpečnosti. Kľúčovým prvkom novely smernice je zavedenie cieľa jadrovej bezpečnosti pre všetkých prevádzkovateľov v snahe o predchádzanie haváriám a zabránenie veľkým únikom rádioaktívnych látok. Novelou smernice sa taktiež do práva Euratomu doplnili tematicky zamerané partnerské hodnotenia. Prvé európske tematicky zamerané partnerské hodnotenie prebehlo úspešne. Všetky členské štáty EÚ transponovali nové požiadavky do svojich vnútroštátnych právnych predpisov. |

17.

| 18. | Na roky 2021 – 2027 vyčlenila EÚ na účely podpory mierového využívania jadrovej energie 300 miliónov EUR, a to na podporu jadrovej bezpečnosti, ochrany pred žiarením a uplatňovanie účinných a efektívnych bezpečnostných záruk v tretích krajinách. Európska komisia v spolupráci s MAAE a ďalšími partnermi, podporuje vykonávanie strategického hlavného plánu sanácie životného prostredia v Strednej Ázii, ktorý sa má financovať prostredníctvom osobitného účtu pre sanáciu životného prostredia, ktorý spravuje Európska banka pre obnovu a rozvoj (EBOR). EÚ ako najväčší darca naďalej oslovuje prijímajúce krajiny (Kirgizsko, Tadžikistan a Uzbekistan) s cieľom posilniť zapojenie a začať konkrétne dekontaminačné a sanačné projekty. |

| 19. | Spoločné výskumné centrum (JRC) Európskej komisie a MAAE pokračovali vo vykonávaní Praktických opatrení na spoluprácu v oblasti aplikácií jadrovej vedy, ktoré boli podpísané popri 5. zasadnutí vysokých úradníkov EÚ a MAAE (15. februára 2017), s cieľom rozvíjať spoločné činnosti a zabrániť duplicite úsilia. Praktické opatrenia zahŕňajú oblasti, ako sú vedné odbory týkajúce sa pôdy, lekárske aplikácie, vedné odbory týkajúce sa oceánov, údaje a referenčné materiály v jadrovej oblasti, bezpečnosť potravín, pozorovanie Zeme a monitorovanie životného prostredia.
  Monitorovanie rádioaktivity v životnom prostredí sa vykonáva formou meraní v celej Európe a na viacerých miestach na celom svete pričom sa zaznamenávajú priemerné a maximálne hodnoty dávok gama žiarenia za posledných 24 hodín. Tieto merania sa realizujú na 5 500 monitorovacích miestach, ktoré prevádzkujú príslušné vnútroštátne orgány v 39 krajinách a ktoré nahlasujú najnovšie rádiologické hodnoty Európskej platforme výmeny údajov o radiácii (EURDEP). Hlásenie o radiačnej havárii alebo radiačnom ohrození sa po porade s príslušnými vnútroštátnymi orgánmi podávajú prostredníctvom sietí včasného oznamovania, ako je napr. ECURIE alebo EMERCON, ktoré prevádzkujú Európska komisia a MAAE. |

35.

| 36. | Generálne riaditeľstvo Európskej komisie pre dane a colnú úniu (GR TAXUD) s podporou centra JRC a strediskom EUSECTRA začalo v roku 2020 vykonávať interaktívny program elektronického učenia sa, ktorý má colným úradníkom pomôcť získavať poznatky o kontrole hraníc zameranej na odhaľovanie rádioaktívnych a jadrových materiálov. Základný modul sa venuje tomu, akú dôležitú úlohu zohrávajú colní úradníci pri odhaľovaní jadrových a rádioaktívnych materiálov, informuje ich o rizikách a hrozbách a poskytuje im základný úvod do problematiky relevantných materiálov, zariadení a procesov. V pokročilom module sa skúmajú tie isté témy podrobnejšie. Oba kurzy obsahujú realistické scenáre zahŕňajúce námorné prístavy, letiská, železnice a pozemné hranice, v rámci ktorých si môžu účastníci otestovať svoje rozhodovanie. Spoluprácou medzi GR TAXUD a JRC sa vytvorili väčšie synergie medzi colnými správami členských štátov. Odborná príprava poskytovaná v centre EUSECTRA bude slúžiť ako platforma pre národných expertov na výmenu najlepších postupov v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti týkajúcej sa ochrany hraníc, čím sa prispeje k rozvoju harmonizovaných postupov. Je to súčasťou úsilia o spoločný boj proti obchodovaniu s jadrovým materiálom a uľahčenie obchodu prostredníctvom miest colných kontrol. Cieľom je v konečnom dôsledku zabrániť jednotlivcom v prístupe k škodlivým materiálom prostredníctvom podpory spoločnej kultúry jadrovej bezpečnosti. |

BIOLOGICKÉ ZBRANE

| 48. | EÚ a jej členské štáty dôrazne podporujú Dohovor o biologických a toxínových zbraniach (BTWC) a intenzívne sa zapájajú do medzinárodného úsilia o zlepšenie biologickej ochrany a biologickej ochrany na celom svete. EÚ prostredníctvom jednotných akcií a rozhodnutí Rady poskytla od roku 2006 na priamu podporu BTWC vyše 11 miliónov EUR. EÚ okrem toho poskytla ďalších 6 miliónov EUR na podporu posilnenia biologickej bezpečnosti a ochrany na Ukrajine a v mnohých krajinách Latinskej Ameriky, ako aj na podporu mechanizmu generálneho tajomníka OSN na vyšetrovanie v prípadoch podozrenia z použitia chemických, biologických a toxínových zbraní. |

BALISTICKÉ RAKETY

Haagsky kódex správania

| 55. | Haagsky kódex správania proti šíreniu balistických rakiet (HCoC) je výsledkom úsilia medzinárodného spoločenstva regulovať oblasť balistických rakiet, ktoré môžu byť nosičmi zbraní hromadného ničenia. HCoC je jediným viacstranným nástrojom zameraným na budovanie transparentnosti a dôvery v oblasti šírenia balistických rakiet. Prihlásením sa k HCoC členovia prijímajú dobrovoľný záväzok vopred oznamovať štarty balistických rakiet a kozmických nosných rakiet, ako aj skúšobné lety. Účastnícke štáty sa tiež zaväzujú podať každý rok prehlásenie o politike svojej krajiny v oblasti balistických rakiet a kozmických nosných rakiet. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | EÚ tento kódex od začiatku dôrazne podporuje. K tomuto kódexu sa hlásia všetky členské štáty EÚ. Od podpisu a nadobudnutia platnosti politicky záväzného kódexu v novembri 2002 v Haagu (Holandsko) počet signatárov vzrástol z 93 na 143. Je to aj vďaka neutíchajúcim diplomatickým kontaktom EÚ s niekoľkými nesignatárskymi štátmi na podporu všeobecného uplatňovania kódexu. V roku 2022 si pripomíname 20. výročie kódexu, čo poskytne príležitosť na zintentzívnenie osvety v súvislosti s nesignatárskymi štátmi. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Za posledných desať rokov prijala Rada EÚ v rámci SZBP celý rad rozhodnutí na podporu Haagskeho kódexu správania a nešírenia balistických rakiet. EÚ prostredníctvom uvedených rozhodnutí Rady financuje osvetové činnosti HCoC vrátane sprievodných podujatí a výskumných dokumentov, stretnutí expertov a regionálne informačné semináre. Tieto činnosti vykonáva Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique so sídlom v Paríži a spravidla sa na nich zúčastňuje aj osoba vo funkcii rotujúceho predsedu HCoC. Niekoľko členských štátov EÚ pôsobilo od vzniku HCoC ako predsedajúca krajina tohoto kódexu a významne prispievalo k jeho činnosti. |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Rozhodnutím Rady (SZBP) 2017/2370 (18) EÚ naďalej podporuje pristúpenie ku kódexu a jeho všeobecné uplatňovanie; podporuje plné vykonávanie kódexu; presadzuje dialóg medzi signatárskymi a nesignatárskymi štátmi s cieľom vybudovať dôveru a transparentnosť; podporuje zdržanlivosť a zabezpečuje väčšiu stabilitu a bezpečnosť pre všetkých; zabezpečuje väčšie zviditeľnenie kódexu a zvyšuje povedomie verejnosti o rizikách a hrozbách, ktoré predstavuje šírenie balistických rakiet a skúma možnosti zlepšovania kódexu a propagovania spolupráce medzi kódexom a inými relevantnými viacstrannými nástrojmi, a to najmä prostredníctvom akademických štúdií. V roku 2021 sa z dôvodu problémov súvisiacich s vykonávaním počas pandémie COVID-19 predĺžilo obdobie vykonávania rozhodnutia (SZBP) 2017/2370 do 21. januára 2023. |

REZOLÚCIA BEZPEČNOSTNEJ RADY ORGANIZÁCIE SPOJENÝCH NÁRODOV č. 1540 A ZMIERŇOVANIE CBRN RIZÍK

| 60. | Rezolúcia Bezpečnostnej rady (BR) OSN č. 1540 (2004) je naďalej centrálnym pilierom medzinárodnej štruktúry v oblasti nešírenia. Táto rezolúcia je prvým medzinárodným nástrojom, ktorý sa integrovaným a komplexným spôsobom zaoberá zbraňami hromadného ničenia, ich nosičmi a súvisiacimi materiálmi. Rezolúciou BR OSN č. 1540 (2004) sa stanovujú záväzné povinnosti pre všetky krajiny. Ich cieľom je zabrániť tomu, aby neštátne subjekty získali prístup k takýmto zbraniam, ich nosičom a súvisiacim materiálom, a odradiť ich od takýchto snáh. Táto rezolúcia bola prijatá podľa kapitoly VII Charty Organizácie Spojených národov a stanovuje sa v nej požiadavka, aby všetky krajiny prijali potrebné právne predpisy, ktoré neštátnym subjektom zabránia získať jadrové, chemické alebo biologické zbrane, a aby zaviedli vhodné vnútroštátne kontroly súvisiaceho materiálu s cieľom zabrániť nedovolenému obchodovaniu s ním. V rámci procesu komplexného preskúmania rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540 v roku 2016 sa opätovne potvrdila jej ústredná úloha, význam a autorita, ako sa uvádza v rezolúcii BR OSN č. 2325. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | S cieľom pomôcť implementovať výsledky komplexného preskúmania z roku 2016 a podporiť úplné vykonávanie rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540 prijala Rada EÚ 11. mája 2017 rozhodnutie (SZBP) 2017/809 (19) na podporu vykonávania rezolúcie Bezpečnostnej rady Organizácie Spojených národov č. 1540 (2004) o nešírení zbraní hromadného ničenia a ich nosičov.
  Rozhodnutie Rady sa vzťahuje na obdobie 56 mesiacov a vykonáva ho Úrad OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia (UNODA) v New Yorku, ktorý časťou vykonávania poveril OBSE vo Viedni. Finančné prostriedky EÚ pomáhajú krajinám pri identifikovaní špecifickej technickej pomoci, prispievajú k zvyšovaniu informovanosti o relevantných programoch technickej pomoci, ako aj k posilňovaniu spolupráce s medzinárodnými a regionálnymi organizáciami v záujme podpory úsilia o budovanie vnútroštátnych kapacít. |

| 62. | JRC oficiálne zaslalo predsedovi výboru rezolúcie č. 1540 výtlačok atlasu obchodu so strategickým tovarom, ktorý spoločne vypracovali JRC a národné laboratórium Argonne (Argonne National Laboratory) Ministerstva energetiky USA. Atlas obchodu so strategickým tovarom bol vypracovaný s cieľom zvýšiť informovanosť o celosvetových obchodných tokoch so strategickým tovarom, t. j. tovarom s vojensky strategickou hodnotou vrátane tovaru s dvojakým použitím. Atlas sa uverejňuje v dvoch zväzkoch a poskytuje pohľady na strategický obchod podľa jednotlivých krajín (20) a podľa jednotlivých komodít (21). Atlas obchodu so strategickým tovarom používa okrem iného Svetová colná organizácia. Ako taký ho považovala za zaujímavý skupina expertov výboru rezolúcie č. 1540. |

| 63. | Iniciatíva týkajúca sa centier excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN bola spustená v roku 2010 ako celosvetový program budovania kapacít na zmierňovanie rizík, či už úmyselného, náhodného alebo prírodného pôvodu, ktoré sa týkajú chemických, biologických, rádiologických a jadrových materiálov alebo látok, a rizík pre súvisiace zariadenia alebo miesta. Iniciatíva v súčasnosti združuje 62 partnerských krajín zoskupených v rámci 8 regionálnych sekretariátov, ktoré sa nachádzajú v týchto regiónoch: atlantické pobrežie Afriky, Stredná Ázia, východná a stredná Afrika, krajiny Rady pre spoluprácu v Perzskom zálive, Blízky východ, severná Afrika a región Sahel, juhovýchodná Ázia, juhovýchodná a východná Európa. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | Iniciatíva zameraná na centrá excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN sa financovala z nástroja na podporu stability a mieru, ktorého platnosť sa skončila v roku 2020 a ktorý je v súčasnosti nahradený Nástrojom susedstva a rozvojovej a medzinárodnej spolupráce (NDICI) na roky 2021 – 2027. Podľa správy Európskeho dvora audítorov z roku 2018 (osobitná správa Európskeho dvora audítorov č. 14/2018, ECA) dosiahlo Centrum excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN pokrok pri zmierňovaní rizík súvisiacich s CBRN materiálmi, a to zlepšovaním kapacít a spolupráce na vnútroštátnej a regionálnej úrovni a podporou kultúry bezpečnosti a spolupráce. Zúčastnené členské štáty sa podporujú v úsilí vytvoriť vnútroštátne a regionálne koordinačné a riadiace štruktúry, a to na dobrovoľnom základe za uplatňovania regionálneho prístupu založeného na dopyte. Tieto platformy rozvíjajú a posilňujú vnútroštátne politiky v oblasti CBRN a budujú kapacity na základe konkrétnych potrieb, posúdení rizík a národných akčných plánov. Podporujú sa prostredníctvom niekoľkých projektov regionálnej spolupráce financovaných v rámci tejto iniciatívy, pričom je možné využiť aj iné nástroje financovania. Od roku 2010 sa finančne podporilo 90 regionálnych projektov. Rozpočet na túto iniciatívu na obdobie 11 rokov počínajúc rokom 2010 predstavuje približne 275 miliónov EUR. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | Sieť centier excelentnosti je v súčasnosti dobre rozvinutá. Počas pandémie COVID-19 preukázala svoju odolnosť a udržateľnosť, keď niekoľko regionálnych sekretariátov iniciovalo sériu webinárov na výmenu odborných znalostí, skúseností a najlepších postupov v oblasti zvládania epidémií. Viacerým krajinám pomohla podpora ad hoc zaviesť vhodné postupy na odhalenie prvých prípadov infekcie. Dlhodobá pomoc s osobitným zameraním na Afriku bude naďalej zvyšovať kapacity na včasné odhaľovanie vysoko nebezpečných patogénov a ich sledovanie prostredníctvom prístupu „jedno zdravie“. Vo viacerých regiónoch (Stredná Ázia, juhovýchodná a východná Európa, Blízky východ) boli vypracované alebo sa pripravujú regionálne akčné plány v oblasti CBRN, ako aj medziregionálna spolupráca.
  Okrem toho je táto iniciatíva dostatočne zrelá na to, aby mohla ďalej podporovať opatrenia na riešenie otázok riadenia bezpečnosti, pokiaľ ide o počítačovú kriminalitu, terorizmus, kritickú infraštruktúru, falšovanie liekov, hybridné hrozby a výbušniny, ako aj ďalej rozvíjať spoluprácu v oblasti jadrovej forenznej vedy, kontroly hraníc a kontroly vývozu položiek s dvojakým použitím. Medzi činnosti podporované v rámci iniciatívy patrí vykonávanie vzdelávacej a školiacej činnosti v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti s cieľom zvýšiť jadrovú bezpečnosť, organizácia teoretických cvičení a cvičení v teréne na základe scenárov pašovania jadrových materiálov, odborná príprava mladých odborníkov v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti a zriadenie regionálneho informačného systému pre jadrovú forenznú vedu. |

| 66. | Pokiaľ ide o vnútorné aspekty zmierňovania CBRN hrozieb, koncom roka 2019 sa preskúmalo vykonávanie akčného plánu na zlepšenie pripravenosti na chemické, biologické, rádiologické a jadrové bezpečnostné riziká, ktorý v októbri 2017 predložila Komisia ako súčasť širšieho balíka opatrení v oblasti boja proti terorizmu, pričom tento dokument sa stále považuje za platný politický rámec v oblasti CBRN. Program boja proti terorizmu z roku 2020 posilnil niektoré aspekty CBRN, najmä v súvislosti s hrozbou chemických látok a v súvislosti s biologickou bezpečnosťou. Pokiaľ ide o chemické látky, Komisia v súčasnosti skúma uskutočniteľnosť obmedzenia prístupu k niektorým chemikáliám, ktoré sa môžu použiť na škodlivé účely. Práca na zisťovaní prítomnosti CBRN – vrátane skúšok zariadení uskutočnených niektorými členskými štátmi a koordinovaných Komisiou – napredovala podľa plánu. Niektoré činnosti v oblasti CBRN, ktoré sa začali v roku 2019, sa však museli v roku 2020 pozastaviť; predovšetkým séria školení zameraná na presadzovanie práva EÚ v oblasti rádiologických hrozieb, ktorá sa realizovala v školiacom stredisku EUSECTRA v Karlsruhe v Nemecku. |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | Vykonávanie akčného plánu podporujú projekty spolufinancované z Fondu pre vnútornú bezpečnosť – polícia. Dve spomedzi vybraných iniciatív boli pre politiku v oblasti CBRN mimoriadne dôležité. Jedna z nich (Mall-CBRN) sa zaoberá ochranou v oblasti CBRN a pripravenosťou vo veľkých nákupných centrách, zatiaľ čo druhá (Bezpečný štadión) uplatňuje podobný prístup na veľké športové arény, najmä futbalové štadióny. Jedným z prínosov oboch iniciatív je prítomnosť príslušných koncových používateľov v konzorciách, napr. futbalového klubu Real Madrid. |

ODBORNÉ ZOSKUPENIA („THINK TANKS“)

| 68. | Na základe rozhodnutia Rady 2010/430/ SZBP (22) vykonávanie stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia aktívne podporovalo Združenie EÚ pre nešírenie zbraní a odzbrojenie, ktoré začalo svoju činnosť v januári 2011. Rada 26. februára 2018 prijala rozhodnutie (SZBP) 2018/299 (23), ktorým sa rozširuje podpora EÚ pre činnosti združenia v období rokov 2018 – 2022, pričom sa vychádza z doposiaľ dosiahnutých výsledkov a dopĺňajú sa nové projekty. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Činnosť združenia zlepšila viditeľnosť EÚ v tretích krajinách a v rámci občianskej spoločnosti a výrazne prispela k formovaniu politiky EÚ v oblasti nešírenia a odzbrojenia. Združenie je platformou pre neformálne kontakty medzi ľuďmi z praxe a stimuluje dialóg medzi rôznymi zainteresovanými stranami. Jeho činnosť pomohla zvýšiť povedomie o výzvach, ktoré predstavujú zbrane hromadného ničenia a konvenčné zbrane a v jej rámci sa preskúmavali možné riešenia týchto výziev. Vychádza z rozsiahlej siete 104 odborných zoskupení a výskumných centier v celej Európe, ktoré združujú členov zo všetkých členských štátov EÚ, ako aj z partnerských krajín, ako je Nórsko, Srbsko, Švajčiarsko, Turecko a Ukrajina. V roku 2021 sa k sieti pripojilo päť inštitútov. |

69.

| 70. | Na všetkých podujatiach, ktoré združenie zvolalo, bola zabezpečená rôznorodosť účastníkov a rečníkov z hľadiska pohlavia, veku, odborných znalostí a geografického zastúpenia. Vzhľadom na okolnosti spôsobené pandémiou COVID-19 sa tieto podujatia v roku 2021 až na jednu výnimku konali vo virtuálnom priestore alebo v hybridnom formáte. Konkrétnejšie zorganizovalo združenie počas roka 2021 v záujme vykonávania rôznych aspektov rozhodnutia (SZBP) 2018/299 tieto podujatia:

KONTROLA VÝVOZU

| 72. | Pracovná skupina Rady pre vývoz konvenčných zbraní (COARM) v roku 2021 ďalej pracovala na plnení cieľov uvedených v záveroch Rady o preskúmaní spoločnej pozície Rady 2008/944/SZBP o kontrole vývozu zbraní (25). Pracovná skupina COARM pripravila rozhodnutie Rady o osvedčeniach koncového používateľa na vývoz ručných a ľahkých zbraní a ich munície. Toto rozhodnutie bolo prijaté v januári 2021 a prispieva k ďalšiemu zbližovaniu politík členských štátov v oblasti vývozu zbraní. ESVČ začala vypracúvať databázu úradníkov zodpovedných za vydávanie licencií, čím sa takisto ešte viac posilní zbližovanie politík členských štátov v oblasti vývozu zbraní. Pracovná skupina COARM pokračovala v osvete a pravidelnom dialógu s rôznymi zainteresovanými stranami vrátane organizácií občianskej spoločnosti, Medzinárodného výboru Červeného kríža a zástupcov európskeho obranného priemyslu. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | EÚ pokračovala aj v osvetových činnostiach zameraných na podporu tretích krajín pri zriaďovaní systémov kontroly vývozu zbraní a na presadzovanie všeobecného uplatňovania Zmluvy o obchodovaní so zbraňami (ATT). Na základe rozhodnutia Rady (SZBP) 2020/1464 z 12. októbra 2020 o presadzovaní účinnej kontroly vývozu zbraní (26), ktoré vykonáva Nemecký spolkový úrad pre hospodárstvo a kontrolu vývozu (BAFA), sa v rámci individuálnej pomoci uskutočnilo viacero pracovných seminárov a podujatí, v dôsledku pandémie väčšinou vo virtuálnom formáte. Okrem toho sa na základe rozhodnutia Rady (SZBP) 2017/915 (27) a následného rozhodnutia Rady (SZBP) 2021/2309 z 22. decembra 2021 o osvetových činnostiach Únie na podporu vykonávania Zmluvy o obchodovaní so zbraňami (28), ktoré vykonáva úrad BAFA a agentúra Expertise France, vykonávali ďalšie regionálne osvetové činnosti, prispôsobené vnútroštátne programy pomoci a ad hoc semináre zamerané na individuálnu pomoc. V roku 2021 sa EÚ rozhodla podporovať činnosti sekretariátu ATT v záujme podpory vykonávania uvedenej zmluvy prostredníctvom rozhodnutia Rady (SZBP) 2021/649 (29). Týmto projektom sa ďalej posilňuje multilaterálny podporný rámec, z ktorého Zmluva o obchodovaní so zbraňami vychádza. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | V roku 2021 sa uskutočňovali zasadnutia v rámci politického dialógu o otázkach kontroly vývozu zbraní s Nórskom a Spojenými štátmi. Tieto politické dialógy poslúžili ako fórum na plodné diskusie o záležitostiach spoločného záujmu, ako sú napr. politiky vývozu do konkrétnych krajín určenia, otázky dodržiavania pravidiel a kontroly a proces príprav Zmluvy o obchodovaní so zbraňami. |
| --- | --- |

74.

| 75. | EÚ sa v rámci zasadnutí Prvého výboru VZ OSN aktívne postavila proti rezolúcii Číny s názvom Podpora medzinárodnej spolupráce pri mierovom využívaní v kontexte medzinárodnej bezpečnosti. Čína v uvedenej rezolúcii vyzýva sekretariát OSN, aby si vyžiadal názory všetkých členských štátov OSN na tzv. neoprávnené obmedzenia vývozu citlivých a kontrolovaných položiek do rozvojových krajín. EÚ sa domnieva, že uvedenou rezolúciou sa vytvára falošný rozpor medzi mierovým využívaním jadrového, chemického a biologického materiálu na jednej strane a opatreniami a režimami na kontrolu vývozu na strane druhej. Kontrola vývozu je potrebná na udržanie medzinárodného mieru a bezpečnosti a na zabránenie šíreniu citlivých položiek a materiálu. Existujúce režimy kontroly vývozu vyplývajú z medzinárodných právnych záväzkov. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | V roku 2021 EÚ naďalej pravidelne aktualizovala svoje predpisy s cieľom zohľadniť vývoj viacstranných režimov kontroly vývozu. Európska komisia preto 20. októbra 2021 prijala delegované nariadenie, ktorým sa aktualizoval kontrolný zoznam položiek s dvojakým použitím EÚ v súlade s rozhodnutiami prijatými v rámci viacstranných režimov kontroly vývozu v roku 2020. Aktualizovaný kontrolný zoznam obsahuje novú poznámku na kontrolu uzavretých komôr, izolátorov na zabránenie úniku biomateriálov alebo biologických bezpečnostných boxov s cieľom zahrnúť do opisu príslušnej položky každý izolátor, ktorý spĺňa všetky uvedené vlastnosti, bez ohľadu na jeho zamýšľané použitie a jeho určenie. Zavádza sa ním aj zmena vymedzenia pojmu „vysokolegované zliatiny“ s cieľom špecifikovať medznú pevnosť v ťahu takýchto materiálov. |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | Koordinačná skupina pre položky s dvojakým použitím naďalej podporovala účinné a konzistentné vykonávanie kontroly vývozu v EÚ. V roku 2021 boli vyvinuté nové funkcie elektronického systému pre položky s dvojakým použitím, aby sa umožnilo uplatňovanie nových ustanovení nariadenia, napr. výmena informácií o zamietnutiach v prípade transferov veľmi citlivých položiek v rámci EÚ. Zaviedla sa aj nová funkcia na podporu výmeny informácií s príslušným orgánom Spojeného kráľovstva v rámci protokolu o Severnom Írsku. Po niekoľkých rokoch príprav bol v roku 2021 v dvoch členských štátoch (Lotyšsku a Rumunsku) zavedený systém elektronického udeľovania licencií, ktorý vyvinula Komisia, zatiaľ čo ďalšie členské štáty pokračovali v prípravách na jeho zavedenie v roku 2022. Zverejnila sa výročná správa o kontrole vývozu (30) s cieľom zabezpečiť transparentnosť kontroly vývozu a udeľovania licencií a 8. decembra 2021 sa konalo fórum o kontrole vývozu, na ktorom sa zišli zainteresované strany z členských štátov, priemyslu a občianskej spoločnosti (31). |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | V dôsledku preskúmania politiky EÚ v oblasti kontroly vývozu bolo 20. mája 2021 prijaté nové nariadenie (EÚ) 2021/821 (32), ktoré nadobudlo účinnosť v septembri 2021. Komplexné zmeny, ktoré sa zaviedli novým nariadením s cieľom zvýšiť efektívnosť a účinnosť kontrol, zahŕňajú aktualizované vymedzenia pojmov a kontrolné parametre, harmonizáciu, zjednodušenie a digitalizáciu udeľovania licencií, intenzívnejšiu výmenu informácií a spoluprácu s tretími krajinami. Novým nariadením sa zavádza nový rozmer „ľudskej bezpečnosti“, aby EÚ mohla reagovať na výzvy, ktoré predstavujú vznikajúce technológie s dvojakým použitím – najmä technológie kybernetického dohľadu, ktoré predstavujú riziko pre národnú a medzinárodnú bezpečnosť vrátane ochrany ľudských práv. Stanovuje sa v ňom aj to, že EÚ môže reagovať na výzvy, ktoré predstavujú vznikajúce technológie. |
| --- | --- |

78.

| 79. | Fungovanie multilaterálnych režimov kontroly vývozu aj v roku 2021 výrazne ovplyvňovala pandémia; plenárne zasadnutia museli byť zrušené, odložené alebo sa museli konať v obmedzenom formáte, no vďaka virtuálnym zasadnutiam mohli pracovné skupiny čiastočne pokračovať v práci a prijali sa rozhodnutia o technických návrhoch. EÚ sa zúčastnila na zasadnutiach Austrálskej skupiny a Skupiny jadrových dodávateľov (NSG). Hoci sa plenárne zasadnutie NSG konalo v obmedzenom fyzickom formáte a s obmedzenými rozhodovacími právomocami, v dôsledku čoho sa v usmerneniach tejto skupiny nevykonala žiadna zmena, bolo dôležité pre zachovanie kontinuity jej činnosti. |
| --- | --- |

79.

| 80. | V šiestich regiónoch sa naďalej vykonával partnerský program EÚ pre kontrolu vývozu s cieľom posilniť účinnosť systémov kontroly položiek s dvojakým použitím a súvisiaceho materiálu, vybavenia a technológií. V roku 2021 sa tento program vzťahoval na 41 krajín, okrem iného aj tých, ktoré sú súčasťou cielených iniciatív zameraných na kontrolu vývozu a vykonávaných ukrajinským Strediskom pre vedu a technológie a Medzinárodným strediskom pre vedu a techniku v Kazachstane, ktoré sa vzťahujú na 14 krajín. Uskutočnilo sa niekoľko regionálnych seminárov, podujatí vnútroštátnej pomoci a ad hoc podporných seminárov, v dôsledku pandémie väčšinou virtuálne. |
| --- | --- |

80.

| 81. | Pokračovala intenzívna koordinácia partnerského programu EÚ pre kontrolu vývozu s oddelením pre kontrolu vývozu ministerstva zahraničných vecí USA a súvisiacim programom bezpečnosti hraníc. Uskutočnili sa spoločné semináre EÚ – USA s cieľom vymeniť si informácie o metodikách posudzovania hrozieb, vymedziť spoločné ukazovatele vplyvu a koordinovať pomoc poskytovanú v teréne. Útvar pre nástroje zahraničnej politiky a JRC zorganizovali 16. – 20. augusta 2021 v online formáte 7. partnerskú letnú univerzitu EÚ na tému kontrol strategického obchodu pre partnerské krajiny partnerského programu EÚ na kontrolu vývozu tovaru s dvojakým použitím. Portál partnerského programu EÚ https://cbrn-risk-mitigation.network.europa.eu/eu-p2p-export-control-programme_en bude naďalej slúžiť ako platforma pre všetky osvetové programy EÚ v oblasti kontrol vývozu konvenčných zbraní a položiek s dvojakým použitím s cieľom prispôsobiť výmenu informácii s partnerskými krajinami EÚ konkrétnym potrebám. Program sa bude naďalej financovať v rámci nástroja NDICI – Globálna Európa. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | V roku 2021 vydalo Spoločné výskumné centrum druhú revíziu príručky kontroly vývozu chemikálií, pričom na svojom portáli sprístupnilo aj databázu (33). |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | Spoločné výskumné centrum Komisie zverejnilo v januári 2021 novú online platformu nástrojov na monitorovanie inovácií (TIM – tools for innovation monitoring) pre položky s dvojakým použitím, ktorá umožňuje mapovať viac ako 70 miliónov výskumných abstraktov (Scopus), patentov (Patstat) a projektov financovaných EÚ (databáza CORDIS) pomocou vyše 200 vyhľadávacích algoritmov, ktoré upozorňujú na dokumenty s potenciálnym významom, pokiaľ ide o položky s dvojakým použitím (34). |
| --- | --- |

83.

| 84. | Režim kontroly raketových technológií (MTCR) je neformálne a dobrovoľné združenie krajín, ktoré majú spoločné ciele, a to nešírenie bezpilotných nosičov schopných dopravovať zbrane hromadného ničenia, a ktoré sa usilujú koordinovať vnútroštátne úsilie v oblasti udeľovania vývozných licencií s cieľom zabrániť šíreniu uvedených zbraní. Vlády zapojené do režimu MTCR sa zaviazali dodržiavať spoločné usmernenia pre vývozné politiky (usmernenia MTCR), ktoré sa uplatňujú na ucelený spoločný zoznam položiek podliehajúcich kontrole (príloha MTCR týkajúca sa vybavenia, softvéru a technológie). Partneri v rámci režimu MTCR si pravidelne vymieňajú informácie o príslušných otázkach týkajúcich sa udeľovania vývozných licencií na vnútroštátnej úrovni. Usmernenia MTCR a kontrolné zoznamy predstavujú medzinárodný štandard najlepších postupov v oblasti kontroly vývozu raketových položiek a technológií. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | V súvislosti s MTCR zostáva pre EÚ otázkou zásadného významu blokovanie pristúpenia deviatich členských štátov EÚ, konkrétne Chorvátska, Cypru, Estónska, Lotyšska, Litvy, Malty, Rumunska, Slovinska a Slovenska k režimu. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | Kľúčovým faktorom, pokiaľ ide o fungovanie a dôveryhodnosť režimov kontroly vývozu, ako je MTCR, je okrem toho kontinuita a predvídateľnosť v súvislosti s výkonom predsedníctva. Členské štáty EÚ, ktoré sú členmi MTCR, predložili na plenárnom zasadnutí na zváženie neformálny dokument s názvom K otázkam predsedníctva, v ktorom sa skúmajú možnosti motivovania k udržateľnému predsedníctvu tohto režimu a jeho podpory. EÚ sa bude naďalej zapájať do diskusií s členmi o rôznych možnostiach. V rámci tohto režimu EÚ vždy podporovala prijatie dôrazných verejných vyhlásení MTCR, v ktorých sa zohľadňujú medzinárodné obavy súvisiace s vypúšťaním balistických rakiet a významným vývojom v oblasti raketových technológií zo strany Iránu a KĽDR. |

KOZMICKÝ PRIESTOR

| 87. | EÚ a jej členské štáty sa naďalej aktívne angažovali pri presadzovaní zachovania bezpečného, zabezpečeného a udržateľného kozmického prostredia a mierového využívania kozmického priestoru pre všetkých, súčasné i budúce generácie, a to na spravodlivom a vzájomne prijateľnom základe. Naďalej sme zdôrazňovali v rámci OSN význam transparentnosti a opatrení na budovanie dôvery, ako aj potrebu presadzovania zodpovedného správania v kozmickom priestore. V tejto súvislosti vydala EÚ v rámci Valného zhromaždenia OSN vyhlásenia týkajúce sa kozmického priestoru. |
| --- | --- |

87.

| 88. | EÚ a jej členské štáty boli naďalej pevne odhodlané predchádzať pretekom v zbrojení v kozmickom priestore, čo je nevyhnutné na posilnenie medzinárodnej bezpečnosti a stability a na zabezpečenie dlhodobého využívania kozmického prostredia na mierové účely. Naďalej sme vyjadrovali znepokojenie v súvislosti s vývojom všetkých protisatelitných zbraní a spôsobilostí, vrátane pozemných, a zdôrazňovali, že je dôležité, aby sa tento vývoj riešil rýchlo a v rámci medzinárodného úsilia o zabránenie pretekom v zbrojení v kozmickom priestore. |
| --- | --- |

88.

| 89. | EÚ a jej členské štáty uvítali zriadenie pracovnej skupiny pre dlhodobú udržateľnosť činností v kozmickom priestore v rámci vedeckého a technického podvýboru Výboru pre mierové využívanie kozmického priestoru. Pracovná skupina uľahčí výmenu skúseností, osvedčených postupov a skúseností získaných pri vykonávaní prijatých usmernení, pomôže zvýšiť informovanosť a budovanie kapacít a riešiť nové výzvy, pokiaľ ide o dlhodobú udržateľnosť činností v kozmickom priestore, ako sú megakonštelácie. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | EÚ a jej členské štáty v nadväznosti na prijatie novej rezolúcie o znižovaní hrozieb prostredníctvom zodpovedného správania, rezolúcie VZ OSN č. 75/36 (35), prispeli k správe generálneho tajomníka OSN spoločným príspevkom EÚ a niekoľkými národnými príspevkami. Okrem toho uvítali prijatie rezolúcie VZ OSN č. 76/231 o znižovaní kozmických hrozieb prostredníctvom noriem, pravidiel a zásad zodpovedného správania (36) ako včasný krok, ktorým sa prispeje k zníženiu hrozieb a rizík súvisiacich s kozmickým priestorom a podporí zodpovedné správanie v kozmickom priestore, najmä v rámci Organizácie Spojených národov. Plne podporili zriadenie otvorenej pracovnej skupiny, ktorá pripravuje pôdu pre podrobnú diskusiu o znižovaní hrozieb prostredníctvom zodpovedného správania. Vyzvali všetky krajiny, aby sa konštruktívne angažovali v záujme dosiahnutia spoločného chápania zodpovedného správania v kozmickom priestore, ku ktorému spoločne prispeje aj EÚ. Potvrdili tiež, že je dôležité spoločne vyvíjať a zintenzívniť úsilie o riešenie výziev v kozmickom priestore, a to za účasti všetkých členských štátov OSN a príslušných organizácií. |

DOLOŽKY O NEŠÍRENÍ ZHN

| 91. | EÚ v súlade so svojou politikou nešírenia ZHN a v súlade so závermi Rady z roku 2003 pokračovala v úsilí o začlenenie záväzkov v oblasti nešírenia ZHN do dohôd s partnerskými krajinami. V roku 2021 sa uskutočnili rokovania s Thajskom o dohode o partnerstve a spolupráci. |
| --- | --- |

91.

INÉ VIACSTRANNÉ FÓRA

| 92. | EÚ sa naďalej aktívne zúčastňovala na zasadnutiach skupiny riaditeľov pre nešírenie G7 (NPDG). V roku 2021 sa EÚ zúčastnila na zasadnutiach počas predsedníctva Spojeného kráľovstva, ktoré sa zameriavali na aktuálne otázky v oblasti nešírenia a odzbrojenia, ako aj na dosiahnutie ďalšieho pokroku v koordinácii činnosti NPDG týkajúcej sa koordinovanej reakcie na pokračujúce provokácie zo strany KĽDR a v hodnotení záruk MAAE. |
| --- | --- |

92.

| 93. | EÚ sa naďalej angažuje v rámci globálneho partnerstva proti šíreniu zbraní a materiálov hromadného ničenia. V roku 2021 prijala EÚ rozhodnutie Rady na podporu budovania odolnosti v oblasti biologickej bezpečnosti a biologickej ochrany prostredníctvom BTWC v kontexte iniciatívy na podpis globálneho partnerstva na zmiernenie biologickej hrozby v Afrike. EÚ sa okrem toho zapája do globálneho partnerstva prostredníctvom technickej pomoci (posudzovanie hrozieb, národné akčné plány), ktorú poskytuje na celom svete v rámci iniciatívy centier excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti zmierňovania rizika v oblasti CBRN. |

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.
