Halvårlig situationsrapport om gennemførelsen af EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben (2012/I)

2012/C 237/01

Indledning

Denne situationsrapport omfatter de aktiviteter, der blev udført i første halvår af 2012 som led i gennemførelsen af strategien mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben (WMD) (dok. 15708/03) vedtaget af Det Europæiske Råd i december 2003 på baggrund af den ajourførte prioritetsliste (dok. 10747/08), der blev vedtaget af Rådet i juni 2008, og de nye EU-aktionslinjer (dok. 17172/08), som blev vedtaget af Rådet i december 2008.

Siden oprettelsen af Tjenesten for EU's Optræden Udadtil (EU-Udenrigstjenesten) har den højtstående repræsentant bistået af EU-Udenrigstjenestens personale udført de fleste af de opgaver, der tidligere blev varetaget af de skiftende formandskaber for EU-Rådet, og overtager gradvis de resterende opgaver, som i dag varetages af det skiftende formandskab til støtte for EU-Udenrigstjenesten, navnlig nogle af de internationale møder. Repræsentanter for den højtstående repræsentant varetager formandskabet for de rådsarbejdsgrupper, der beskæftiger sig med ikke-spredning og nedrustning, og tilrettelægger EU-koordinationen i internationale ikkesprednings- og nedrustningsfora med det formål at sikre, at EU's aktive og synlige rolle videreføres i overensstemmelse med Lissabontraktaten. På nogle få internationale møder har det skiftende formandskab som følge af en manglende EU-plads fortsat fremsat erklæringer på vegne af EU eller på vegne af EU og dets medlemsstater.

EU's ledende princip og overordnede mål på området er fortsat at fremme universaliteten af de internationale traktater, konventioner og andre instrumenter og den nationale gennemførelse heraf i overensstemmelse med målsætningerne for EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og den europæiske sikkerhedsstrategi. EU forfulgte derfor disse mål på alle de vigtigste møder i første halvår, navnlig på EU's ikkesprednings- og nedrustningskonference i februar, topmødet om nuklear sikkerhed i Seoul i marts, mødet i komitéen til forberedelse af NPT-gennemgangskonferencen i april og maj samt i en række andre internationale fora, på årlige møder mellem stater, der er parter i konventioner, på konferencer osv.

EU har fortsat tilstræbt en effektiv og komplementær anvendelse af alle de instrumenter og finansielle ressourcer, der er til rådighed (FUSP-budgettet, stabilitetsinstrumentet og andre instrumenter), for at maksimere virkningen af EU's indsats til støtte for internationale organisationer og tredjelande.

EU har videreført det tætte samarbejde med partnere og andre tredjelande i bestræbelserne på at opnå global enighed om behovet for at styrke det internationale ikkespredningsregime. Der blev løbende gjort en indsats for at rejse ikkespredningsspørgsmål i EU's bilaterale forbindelser med alle relevante lande, navnlig gennem politiske dialogmøder og mere uformelle kontakter.

1.   NUKLEARE SPØRGSMÅL

Ikkespredningsgruppen (CONOP) forberedte aktivt møderne i IAEA's Styrelsesråd i marts og juni 2012. Den drøftede og forberedte EU's bidrag til topmødet om nuklear sikkerhed i Seoul, mødet i komitéen til forberedelse af NPT-gennemgangskonferencen, Gruppen af Leverandører af Nukleart Materiale, Australiengruppen samt andre relevante møder på det nukleare område. CONOP fortsatte gennemførelsen af de nye EU-aktionslinjer i bekæmpelsen af spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og deres fremføringsmidler ved at drøfte de forskellige aktioner, der overvejes på dette område, bl.a. vedrørende konsulær og videnskabelig årvågenhed.

1.1   Opfølgning af gennemgangskonferencen i 2010 under ikkespredningstraktaten (NPT)

EU deltog aktivt i mødet i komitéen til forberedelse af NPT-gennemgangskonferencen (PrepCom), der blev afholdt i Wien den 30. april - 11. maj 2012, og aflagde rapport om sine aktiviteter i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af den handlingsplan, som NPT-gennemgangskonferencen vedtog i 2010, herunder den aftale, der blev indgået om Mellemøsten. EU afgav en generel erklæring og tre klyngeerklæringer og forelagde to arbejdsdokumenter (et om gennemførelsen af konklusionerne og henstillingerne om opfølgningsindsatsen fra NPT-gennemgangskonferencen i 2010 og et om fredelig udnyttelse af nuklear teknologi). EU afholdt parallelt hermed sammen med IAEA under PrepCom-mødet et velbesøgt arrangement om sidstnævnte emne. Med udgangspunkt i resultatet af det vellykkede EU-seminar, der blev afholdt den 6.-7. juli 2011 i Bruxelles, og som bidrog til gennemførelsen af Rådets afgørelse 2010/799/FUSP af 13. december 2010 om støtte til en tillidsskabende proces, der fører til oprettelse i Mellemøsten af en zone, som er fri for masseødelæggelsesvåben og deres fremføringsmidler, er et lignende opfølgningsinitiativ blevet drøftet med facilitatoren for konferencen i 2012. Der arbejdes på, at EU næste efterår kan afholde endnu et spor 2-arrangement om dette spørgsmål.

1.2   IAEA

EU har styrket sin støtte til Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisation (IAEA) i Wien. EU er fortsat en af de vigtigste donorer til Fonden for Nuklear Sikkerhed, idet der siden 2004 er indgået forpligtelser for over 30 mio. EUR. For så vidt angår nuklear sikkerhed har EU endvidere bidraget med sin tekniske ekspertise i forbindelse med uddannelse og workshopper, som IAEA har tilrettelagt, og rettet sin indsats mod tredjelande, med henblik på at de styrker deres kapacitet til bekæmpelse af ulovlig handel med nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer. EU og IAEA har koordineret deres støtte til tredjelande på dette område, bl.a. gennem grænseovervågningsgruppen. EU har endvidere indledt drøftelser med IAEA om at forbedre samarbejdet på andre af IAEA's aktivitetsområder, øge synligheden af EU's bidrag og samordne indsatsen yderligere, navnlig inden for nuklear sikkerhed, for at sikre komplementaritet og undgå overlapning mellem de aktiviteter, der gennemføres af EU's CBRN-ekspertisecentre og IAEA, og drage fordel af deres komplementaritet.

Den Europæiske Union har siden 2008 i rådskonklusioner givet tilsagn om at bidrage med op til 25 mio. EUR til IAEA's bank for lavt beriget uran (LEU) og stabilitetsinstrumentet. EU har endvidere bidraget med over 5 mio. EUR til det internationale projekt, der tager sigte på at udvide og modernisere Seibersdorflaboratoriet. Arbejdet med disse bidrag er i gang: For så vidt angår IAEA's LEU-bank vil første tranche til IAEA's LEU-bank (10 mio. EUR blev betalt til IAEA den 8. december 2011 gennem stabilitetsinstrumentet) blive suppleret af endnu en tranche på 10 mio. EUR fra stabilitetsinstrumentet. Et yderligere bidrag vil blive ydet over FUSP-budgettet på basis af en rådsafgørelse, der forventes vedtaget af Rådet primo 2013. Får så vidt angår Seibersdorflaboratoriet vil første tranche (4,75 mio. EUR betalt gennem stabilitetsinstrumentet til IAEA den 2. december 2011) i 2012 blive suppleret med yderligere et bidrag. EU har fortsat ydet betydelig teknisk støtte til IAEA på området nuklear sikkerhedskontrol gennem Europa-Kommissionens program for samarbejdsstøtte. EU har anvendt sine forskellige instrumenter til at muliggøre sikker gennemførelse af brug af nuklear teknologi til fredelige formål i tredjelande, herunder gennem IAEA.

1.3   CTBT

EU har aktivt fremmet en hurtig ikrafttræden af traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger (CTBT) baseret på de relevante rådsafgørelser om støtte til Organisationen for Traktaten om et Altomfattende Forbud mod Atomprøvesprængninger (CTBTO) og gennem opsøgende bestræbelser over for de resterende bilag II-stater, hvis ratificering er nødvendig for, at traktaten kan træde i kraft. EU har ajourført sine interne retningslinjer, som støtter ikrafttrædelsen af CTBT, og på dette grundlag vil opmærksomheden fortsat blive henledt på CTBT i forskellige sammenhænge, herunder på politiske dialogmøder, for at skabe et yderligere incitament til ratifikation af traktaten.

EU har arbejdet energisk på gennemførelsen af Rådets afgørelse 2008/588/FUSP af 15. juli 2008 og 2010/461/FUSP af 26. juli 2010. Den 30. juni 2012 blev gennemførelsen af Rådets afgørelse 2008/588/FUSP afsluttet. Som følge af uforudsete forsinkelser i forbindelse med indkøb af udstyr anmodede CTBTO's midlertidige tekniske sekretariat om en forlængelse på to år af fristen for gennemførelse af Rådets afgørelse 2010/461/FUSP, der oprindelig skulle udløbe den 16. maj 2012. EU har indledt arbejdet med en eventuel yderligere støtte til de funktioner, der varetages af CTBTO's midlertidige tekniske sekretariat (et udkast til ny rådsafgørelse, der supplerer Rådets afgørelse 2010/461/FUSP, er blevet godkendt af CONOP og forventes vedtaget af Rådet i løbet af 2012).

1.4   Nedrustningskonferencen (CD)

EU har vedholdende presset på for en omgående indledning af forhandlinger om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer (FMCT) Desuden har EU i alle sine indlæg erklæret sig rede til drøfte alle andre spørgsmål på nedrustningskonferencens dagsorden, især atomnedrustning, forebyggelse af et våbenkapløb i det ydre rum og negative sikkerhedsgarantier. Endvidere har EU intensiveret sit konstruktive arbejde for udvidelse af nedrustningskonferencen.EU vil i 2012 fortsat udnytte enhver lejlighed til at fremme de internationale drøftelser om en hurtig indledning af forhandlingerne om FMCT og internt træffe forberedelser hertil samt deltage i relevante arrangementer, herunder dem, der tilrettelægges af ikkesprednings- og nedrustningsinitiativet (NPDI).

1.5   Regionale spørgsmål (Iran og Nordkorea)

EU har fortsat været fuldt engageret i den igangværende indsats for at opnå en diplomatisk løsning på det nukleare spørgsmål i Iran gennem forhandlinger med udgangspunkt i NPT og en fuld gennemførelse af alle resolutioner fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd og IAEA's Styrelsesråd. EU har indtrængende opfordret Iran til at træffe konkrete og praktiske foranstaltninger for at skabe tillid til den udelukkende fredelige karakter af det iranske atomprogram og til at overholde alle sine internationale forpligtelser for at adressere det internationale samfunds alvorlige betænkeligheder. Iran skal samarbejde fuldt ud med IAEA for at løse udestående spørgsmål, herunder dem, der vedrører eventuelle militære dimensioner. EU's højtstående repræsentant har sammen med E3 + 3 fortsat sine bestræbelser på at inddrage Iran i drøftelserne om substansen i forslagene om indledende skridt til tillidsskabelse for at søge en løsning på den vigtigste betænkelighed vedrørende 20 %-berigningsaktiviteterne, senest under en samtalerunde med Iran den 18.-19. juni i Moskva. EU beklagede, at Iran endnu ikke formelt har godkendt dokumentet om en struktureret tilgang, som bl.a. blev drøftet med IAEA den 8. juni 2012, og som fastlægger de nærmere retningslinjer for en løsning af de ude-stående spørgsmål vedrørende Irans atomprogram, herunder dem, der vedrører eventuelle militære dimensioner.

For så vidt angår Nordkorea har EU kraftigt fordømt opsendelsesforsøget den 13. april 2012, som er en klar overtrædelse af FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1695, 1718 og 1874, og er fortsat med indtrængende at anmode Nordkorea om at opgive alle sine eksisterende nukleare og ballistiske missilprogrammer på en fuldstændig, kontrollerbar og uigenkaldelig måde. EU har fortsat opfordret Nordkorea til igen at overholde kontrolkravene fra NPT og IAEA fuldt ud og give IAEA den krævede adgang til personer, dokumentation, udstyr og anlæg. EU har konstant støttet genoptagelsen af sekspartsforhandlingsprocessen. EU's gennemførelse af FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1718 og 1874 er blevet yderligere styrket. EU har fortsat styrket gennemførelsen af sine selvstændige restriktive foranstaltninger. I juni 2012 rettede EU henvendelse til Nordkorea og anmodede indtrængende landet om at ratificere CTBT og om at afholde sig fra yderligere provokationer, ikke mindst i form af nye atomprøvesprængninger.

2.   KEMISKE VÅBEN

En ny rådsafgørelse til støtte for OPCW's aktiviteter blev vedtaget i Rådet. Kommissionen og OPCW's tekniske sekretariat er kommet langt i deres finansielle forhandlinger, og gennemførelsen af den nye rådsafgørelse skulle snart kunne indledes. Delegationerne i har Haag arbejdet på en EU-holdning vedrørende organisationens fremtidige rolle, ud fra den betragtning at den endelige forlængede frist for destruktion af alle resterende lagre af kemiske våben nærmer sig (den 29. april 2012). Der er blevet fastlagt fire prioriteter: i) fuldførelse af destruktionen af eksisterende lagre, ii) fremme af universaliteten af CWC (otte stater er endnu ikke parter), iii) et skift til ikke-spredningsbestræbelser og iv) fremme af kapacitetsopbygningen for så vidt angår sikkerhed og sikring i den kemiske industri i udviklingslandene, jf. artikel XI, og beredskab i tilfælde af brug af kemiske våben, jf. artikel X. Samordningen mellem EU-Udenrigstjenesten og delegationerne i Haag er blevet indledt med henblik på udarbejdelse af en fælles EU-holdning, der skal anvendes på tredje OPCW-gennemgangskonference (april 2013).

EU har desuden nøje fulgt situationen i Libyen, hvor OPCW skulle sikre integriteten i forbindelse med lagre fra Libyens tidligere program for kemiske våben.

3.   BIOLOGISKE VÅBEN

Efter syvende BTWC-gennemgangskonference (december 2011 i Genève) har EU indledt forberedelserne af processen for perioden mellem konferencerne. EU's rolle er blevet drøftet på gruppeniveau, og det blev besluttet at udarbejde en fælles holdning for at støtte afgørelserne og henstillingerne fra syvende gennemgangskonference. Dette omfattede projekter i tilknytning til følgende faste punkter på dagsordenen: 1) internationalt samarbejde og bistand 2) styrkelse af den nationale gennemførelse og 3) kapacitetsopbygning inden for biosikkerhed og biosikring.

Der blev udarbejdet nye rådsafgørelser til støtte for såvel BTWC som Verdenssundhedsorganisationens aktiviteter inden for biosikkerhed og biosikring i laboratorier, som blev godkendt på gruppeplan med henblik på vedtagelse i Rådet henholdsvis i juli og i løbet af efteråret.

4.   MISSILER

EU har intensiveret sit arbejde vedrørende ikkespredning af missiler med fokus på støtte til Haagadfærdskodeksen (HCOC). Rådets afgørelse 2008/974/FUSP af 18. december 2008, hvis gennemførelsesfrist var den 1. juli 2011, gjorde det muligt at udføre en række aktiviteter inden for kodeksens tre hovedområder: universalitet, gennemførelse og henholdsvis styrkelse og forbedret funktion.

På grundlag af de tidligere aktiviteter og forslag, der er blevet drøftet i CONOP, foreslog EU-Udenrigstjenesten desuden at udvide anvendelsesområdet for den næste rådsafgørelse med henblik på at fortsætte støtten til HCOC og desuden muliggøre EU-aktiviteter til støtte for ikkespredning af missiler generelt. Rådsafgørelsen blev godkendt i CONOP i april 2012. Instituttet for Strategisk Forskning (Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS)) er efter høring af medlemsstaterne blevet valgt som implementerende organ. EU deltog aktivt i det årlige møde i Haagadfærdskodeksen vedrørende ikkespredning af ballistiske missiler den 31. maj - 1. juni 2012 i Wien, hvor EU's erklæring indeholdt en solid politisk klausul om tredjelandes tilslutning, og som skal forberede Haagadfærdskodeksens tiårsdag senere på året. Den nye rådsafgørelse blev forelagt ved denne lejlighed.

I 2012 fortsatte EU og medlemsstaterne støtten til de aktiviteter, der gennemføres af det rumænske formandskab for HCOC, bl.a. med henblik på en konsolidering af det nuværende positive politiske momentum i kodeksen og for at øge opmærksomheden omkring den på verdensplan. På HCOC-seminaret »Ten Years of International Cooperation« den 26.-27. april i Bukarest blev der som et bidrag til markeringen af tiåret for kodeksens ikrafttræden redegjort for observationsbesøget i 2011 i Kourou (Fransk Guyana), en aktivitet, der tidligere har modtaget EU-støtte.

5.   CBRN-RISIKOBEGRÆNSNING

EU har styrket gennemførelsen af EU's CBRN-handlingsplan (nukleare, radiologiske, biologiske og kemiske våben), der blev vedtaget i 2009 på grundlag af relevante bistandsprogrammer under Det Europæiske Fællesskabs instrumenter (navnlig stabilitetsinstrumentet) og i lyset af Europa-Parlamentets beslutning af 14. december 2010 (A7-0349/2010/P7_TA(2010)0467). I denne forbindelse indledte EU arbejdet med at oprette et center for uddannelse i nuklear sikkerhed ved Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter, hvortil der i første omgang er investeret 2,4 mio. EUR.

»EU's CBRN-ekspertisecentre« blev iværksat af EU i maj 2010. EU's CBRN-ekspertisecentre oprettes som reaktion på erkendelsen af, at der er utilstrækkelig institutionel kapacitet i en række lande til CBRN-risikobegrænsning: kriminel virksomhed (CBRN-spredning eller terrorisme), naturlige katastrofer (svineinfluenza) og katastrofer forårsaget af ulykker (Bhopal og Fukushima). Målet er at udforme en CBRN-politik, der omfatter alle former for farer, på nationalt og regionalt plan for at foregribe og reagere på disse risici. Der er kort sagt tale om strukturelle foranstaltninger til begrænsning af landenes sårbarhed over for CBRN-hændelser af hensyn til såvel regionerne som EU's sikkerhed.

Dette mål skal nås ved at støtte etableringen af regionale ekspertisenetværker vedrørende juridiske, forskriftsmæssige, tekniske samt kontrol- og håndhævelsesmæssige spørgsmål i relation til CBRN-risikobegrænsning.

Der er ved at blive etableret fem regionale centre i henholdsvis Nordafrika, landene ved Afrikas Atlanterhavskyst, Mellemøsten, Sydøsteuropa – Sydkaukasus – Republikken Moldova – Ukraine og Sydøstasien, og de er i færd med at indlede deres arbejde. Næste skridt bliver åbningen af regionale sekretariater i Afrika syd for Sahara, Centralasien og Golflandene. 33 projekter med en bevilling på næsten 26 mio. EUR er allerede i funktion på forskellige implementeringsniveauer, dvs. indkomne tilbud til vurdering eller projekt i udformningsfasen.

Ekspertisecentrene bidrager sammen med andre EU-midler, der tildeles over FUSP-budgettet (se punkt 7), til at nå målene i FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 om bekæmpelse af ulovlig handel med eller kriminel anvendelse af CBRN-materialer. Ekspertisecentrene bygger på den obligatoriske karakter af gennemførelsen af FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540, og de går et skridt videre end at tilbyde en samlet pakke til bekæmpelse af risici uanset oprindelse.

6.   TÆNKETANKE

På grundlag af Rådets afgørelse 2010/430/FUSP af 26. juli 2010 er EU's arbejde under EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben blevet aktivt støttet af EU's konsortium for ikkespredning, der indledte sin virksomhed i januar 2011. I forlængelse af det første samrådsmøde (konstituerende møde) i det europæiske net af uafhængige ikkespredningstænketanke (den 23.-24. maj 2011) og EU-seminaret til støtte for en WMD-fri zone i Mellemøsten (den 6.-7. juli 2011) blev der den 3.-4. februar 2012 afholdt et vellykket første årligt møde med titlen »EU's ikkesprednings- og nedrustningskonference« med næsten 200 deltagere fra EU og tredjelande. Næste konference forventes afholdt i 2014. I mellemtiden fortsætter konsortiet med i samarbejde med andre tænketanke på området at udarbejde arbejdsdokumenter, der er relevante for gennemførelsen af WMD-strategien, og som er offentligt tilgængelige på konsortiets websted <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>.

7.   FN'S SIKKERHEDSRÅDS RESOLUTION 1540 OG UDFØRSELSKONTROL

EU gav udtryk for sit varige engagement i indsatsen for at gennemføre resolution 1540 og 1977 ved sammen med USA at undertegne en fælles erklæring i tilknytning til 66. samling i FN's Generalforsamling (den 19. oktober 2011 i New York).

EU har derfor øget sin støtte til tredjelande for at bistå dem med at opfylde deres forpligtelser i henhold til FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 og forbedre kvalifikationerne hos de statslige embedsmænd, der er involveret i udførselskontrolprocessen, ved sammen med Kontoret for Ned-rustningsanliggender (UN-ODA) og 1540-Udvalget at tilrettelægge en række regionale workshopper og ved at aflægge bilaterale besøg. En ny rådsafgørelse til støtte for FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540, som fokuserer på den nationale gennemførelsesindsats, er blevet udarbejdet og er ved at blive endeligt udformet, således at den kan gennemføres sammen med UN-ODA til støtte for arbejdet i 1540-Udvalget, hvis mandat er blevet forlænget med ti år med resolution 1977, der blev vedtaget i april 2011.

EU's ordning for kontrol med udførsel af produkter med dobbelt anvendelse er blevet ændret yderligere med vedtagelsen af forordning nr. 388/2012, der blev vedtaget den 19. april 2012.

EU lancerede desuden et omfattende teknisk bistandsprogram vedrørende udførselskontrol, som i første instans har fokus på nabolande, og som gradvis vil blive udvidet til Sydøstasien og Middelhavsområdet. I den forbindelse var EU også medsponsor for en konference om »International, Regional and Sub-regional Industry Associations on UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004)« den 23.-25. april 2012 i Wiesbaden (Tyskland) og medarrangør – sammen med USA – af 13. internationale konference om udførselskontrol den 7.-9. maj 2012 i Portorož (Slovenien).

8.   RUMMET

På grundlag af Rådets konklusioner af 27. september 2010, der indeholder en revideret udgave af udkastet til adfærdskodeks for aktiviteter i det ydre rum, har EU ført konsultationer med en række lande, som er aktive eller endnu ikke er aktive inden for rumspørgsmål, for at drøfte forslaget og høre landenes synspunkter. På grundlag af disse konsultationer udarbejdede EU et revideret udkast, der blev forelagt den 5. juni 2012 i Wien på et møde med 110 deltagere fra mere end 40 lande. Dette møde gav lejlighed til officielt at indlede den multilaterale diplomatiske proces med henblik på endelig udformning af kodeksen. Det første multilaterale ekspertmøde for at drøfte udkastet til kodeksen finder sted i oktober 2012 og vil være åbent for deltagelse af alle stater. Der bliver behov for mere end et multilateralt ekspertmøde for at udforme kodeksen endeligt. Formålet med dette møde er at forberede de efterfølgende diplomatiske skridt, herunder en diplomatisk ad hoc-konference, hvor kodeksen vil blive åbnet for undertegnelse.

9.   KLAUSULER VEDRØRENDE MASSEØDELÆGGELSESVÅBEN

EU fortsatte i overensstemmelse med sin strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben med at integrere ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben i sine aftaleforbindelser med tredjelande.

Der blev opnået yderligere fremskridt i forhandlingerne om WMD-klausuler i relevante aftaler mellem EU og tredjelande, navnlig med Mercosur, Afghanistan, Australien, Aserbajdsjan, Canada, Kasakhstan og Malaysia.

10.   MULTILATERALE FORA

—   G8

EU spillede en aktiv rolle på flere møder mellem direktørerne for ikkespredning og nedrustning under optakten til G8-mødet i Camp David og i forbindelse med forberedelsen af erklæringen til G8-topmødet om ikkespredning og bistod i samarbejde med det amerikanske formandskab med gennemførelsen af flere demarcher vedrørende IAEA's tillægsprotokol.

Ni år efter oprettelsen af det globale partnerskab (GP) i 2002 har dette udvidet sig ud over G8 og er blevet en platform for koordinering og samarbejde, der nu tæller yderligere 15 partnere. På topmødet i Deauville i maj 2011 blev lederne enige om yderligere at styrke biologisk sikkerhed, gennemførelsen af resolution 1540 og nuklear sikkerhed. USA, der varetog formandskabet for G8 i 2012, fremmede denne dagsorden, navnlig ved at nedsætte en GP-undergruppe vedrørende biosikring under GP-gruppen. Inddragelse af (andre) regionale organisationer samt styrkelse af regionalt ejerskab var vigtige spørgsmål i drøftelserne. EU's ekspertisecentre fik fornyet fremdrift inden for G8 og G8GP, navnlig som et redskab til at fremme udvekslingen af oplysninger regionalt og eventuelt til at undgå overlapning blandt donorer.

—   ASEAN Regional Forum

EU fortsatte med at styrke sin deltagelse i aktiviteterne i ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). EU deltog navnlig i ASEAN Regional Forums mellemliggende møde om ikkespredning og nedrustning den 8.-9. marts 2012 i Sydney.
