Polletno poročilo o napredku pri izvajanju Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje (2012/I)

2012/C 237/01

Uvod

To poročilo o napredku zajema dejavnosti, ki so potekale v prvi polovici leta 2012 v okviru izvajanja strategije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje (dok. 15708/03), ki jo je Evropski svet sprejel decembra 2003, ob upoštevanju posodobljenega seznama prednostnih nalog (dok. 10747/08), ki ga je Svet sprejel junija 2008, in novih smernic za ukrepanje (dok. 17172/08), ki jih je Svet sprejel decembra 2008.

Po vzpostavitvi Evropske službe za zunanje delovanje (ESZD) visoka predstavnica ob podpori osebja ESZD opravlja večino nalog, ki jih je prej izvajalo šestmesečno predsedstvo Sveta EU, postopoma pa prevzema tudi preostale naloge, ki jih šestmesečno predsedstvo še izvaja v podporo ESZD, zlasti na nekaterih mednarodnih sestankih. Predstavniki visoke predstavnice predsedujejo delovnima skupinama Sveta, zadolženima za področje neširjenja orožja in razoroževanje, odgovorni pa so tudi za usklajevanje na ravni EU v okviru mednarodnih forumov za razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja, da bi tudi v prihodnje zagotovili dejavno in prepoznavno vlogo EU, kakor je predvideno v Lizbonski pogodbi. Predsedstvo je na nekaterih mednarodnih srečanjih še vedno dajalo izjave v imenu EU oziroma v imenu EU in njenih držav članic, saj v teh forumih EU nima svojega sedeža.

Vodilno načelo in splošni cilj EU na tem področju je v skladu s cilji njene strategije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in evropske varnostne strategije še naprej spodbujati univerzalnost mednarodnih pogodb, konvencij in drugih instrumentov ter njihovo izvajanje na nacionalni ravni. V skladu z navedenim si je EU prizadevala za dosego teh ciljev na vseh ključnih dogodkih v prvem polletju, npr. na konferenci EU o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju februarja, vrhu o jedrski varnosti v Seulu marca, seji pripravljalnega odbora Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja aprila in maja ter v številnih drugih mednarodnih forumih, na letnih srečanjih držav pogodbenic različnih konvencij, konferencah itd.

Še naprej si je prizadevala za učinkovito in dopolnilno uporabo vseh razpoložljivih instrumentov in finančnih sredstev (proračuna SZVP, instrumenta za stabilnost in drugih instrumentov), da bi zagotovila čim večji učinek svojih dejavnosti v podporo mednarodnim organizacijam in tretjim državam.

EU je še naprej tesno sodelovala s partnericami in drugimi tretjimi državami ter si prizadevala za zbližanje mnenj na svetovni ravni glede potrebe po okrepitvi mednarodne ureditve za neširjenje orožja. Prizadevala si je, da bi vprašanja neširjenja orožja obravnavala v okviru dvostranskih odnosov z vsemi zadevnimi državami, zlasti na srečanjih v okviru političnega dialoga in prek drugih neuradnih stikov.

1.   JEDRSKA VPRAŠANJA

Delovna skupina za neširjenje orožja (CONOP) je bila dejavna pri pripravi sestankov Sveta guvernerjev MAAE marca in junija 2012. Obravnavala in pripravljala je prispevke EU za vrh o jedrski varnosti v Seulu, sejo pripravljalnega odbora Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja, srečanja skupine držav dobaviteljic jedrskega blaga, Avstralske skupine in vsa ostala pomembna srečanja na jedrskem področju. Nadaljevala je izvajanje novih smernic za ukrepanje EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in njegovih izstrelitvenih sistemov, in sicer z razpravami o raznih ukrepih, predvidenih na tem področju, med drugim o konzularni in znanstveni pozornosti.

1.1   Nadaljnje ukrepanje po pregledni konferenci Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja leta 2010

EU je dejavno sodelovala na seji pripravljalnega odbora Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja na Dunaju od 30. aprila do 11. maja 2012 in poročala o svojih dejavnostih pri izvajanju akcijskega načrta, sprejetega na pregledni konferenci Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja leta 2010, vključno z dogovori, doseženimi glede Bližnjega vzhoda. EU je pripravila splošno izjavo in tri sestavljene izjave ter predstavila delovna dokumenta (enega v zvezi z izvajanjem sklepov revizijske konference o Pogodbi o neširjenju jedrskega orožja iz leta 2010 in njenih priporočil za nadaljnje ukrepanje ter drugega v zvezi z miroljubno uporabo jedrske tehnologije). Ob robu seje pripravljalnega odbora je skupaj z MAAE organizirala tudi dobro obiskan stranski dogodek o zadnji temi. Na podlagi rezultatov uspešnega seminarja, ki ga je pripravila EU 6. in 7. julija 2011 v Bruslju in z njim pripomogla k izvajanju sklepa Sveta 2010/799/SZVP, sprejetega 13. decembra 2010, o podpori procesu krepitve zaupanja kot podlagi za vzpostavitev območja brez orožja za množično uničevanje in pripadajočih nosilcev na Bližnjem vzhodu, je s koordinatorjem konference za leto 2012 razpravljala o podobni spremljevalni pobudi. EU nadaljuje priprave na še en neformalni (track 2) dogodek na to temo naslednjo jesen.

1.2   MAAE

EU je okrepila podporo Mednarodni agenciji za atomsko energijo (MAAE) na Dunaju. Ostaja ključna donatorka Sklada za jedrsko varnost, ki mu je od leta 2004 namenila že več kot 30 milijonov EUR. EU je na področju jedrske varnosti prispevala tudi strokovno znanje za dejavnosti usposabljanja ter delavnice, ki jih je pripravila MAAE in so namenjene tretjim državam, da bi povečale zmogljivosti na področju preprečevanja nedovoljenega prometa z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi snovmi. EU in MAAE sta s pomočjo delovne skupine za nadzor meje uskladili podporo tretjim državam na tem področju. EU je z MAAE razpravljala tudi o okrepitvi sodelovanja na drugih področjih dejavnosti MAAE, povečanju prepoznavnosti prispevkov EU in nadaljnjem usklajevanju delovanja, zlasti na področju jedrske varnosti, zaradi zagotavljanja dopolnjevanja in izogibanja podvajanju dejavnosti kemijskih, bioloških, radioloških in jedrskih (KBRJ) centrov odličnosti EU in MAAE ter da bi izkoristili njihovo dopolnjevanje.

Evropska unija se je v sklepih Sveta iz leta 2008 zavezala, da prek proračuna SZVP in instrumenta za stabilnost prispeva do 25 milijonov EUR v banko MAAE za nizko obogateni uran. Poleg tega je prispevala več kot 5 milijonov EUR za mednarodni projekt, katerega namen je razširitev in modernizacija laboratorija v Seibersdorfu. Delo v zvezi s temi prispevki se nadaljuje. Prvi obrok za banko MAAE za nizko obogateni uran (10 milijonov EUR, ki je bil MAAE plačan 8. decembra 2011 prek instrumenta za stabilnost) bo dopolnil še drugi v višini 10 milijonov EUR iz instrumenta za stabilnost. Drugi prispevek bo nakazan iz proračuna SZVP, in sicer na podlagi sklepa Sveta, ki naj bi ga Svet odobril v začetku leta 2013. V zvezi z laboratorijem v Seibersdorfu bodo prvi obrok (4,75 milijona EUR, ki je bil MAAE plačan 2. decembra 2011 prek instrumenta za stabilnost) v letu 2012 dopolnili še dodatni prispevki. EU je v okviru programa skupne podpore Evropske komisije MAAE še naprej zagotavljala znatno strokovno podporo na področju jedrskih zaščitnih ukrepov. EU je uporabila različne instrumente, da bi omogočila varno in zanesljivo miroljubno uporabo jedrske tehnologije v tretjih državah, tudi prek MAAE.

1.3   Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT)

EU se je na podlagi zadevnih sklepov Sveta v podporo Organizaciji pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBTO) dejavno zavzemala za čim prejšnji začetek veljavnosti te pogodbe; v ta namen si je prizadevala za ozaveščanje preostalih držav iz Priloge II, ki bi morale ratificirati CTBT, da bi ta lahko začela veljati. EU je posodobila notranje smernice za podporo začetku veljavnosti CTBT, na podlagi katerih naj bi ob različnih priložnostih, na primer na srečanjih v okviru političnega dialoga, še naprej opozarjala na CTBT in s tem še bolj spodbudila postopek ratifikacije pogodbe.

EU je zavzeto izvajala Sklep Sveta 2008/588/SZVP z dne 15. julija 2008 in Sklep Sveta 2010/461/SZVP z dne 26. julija 2010. Sklep Sveta 2008/588/SZVP je bil izveden 30. junija 2012. Zaradi nepričakovanih zamud pri naročilih opreme je začasni tehnični sekretariat CTBTO zaprosil za dvoletno podaljšanje obdobja izvajanja Sklepa Sveta 2010/461/SZVP, ki naj bi se končalo 16. maja 2012. EU je začela priprave na morebitno dodatno podporo dejavnostim začasnega tehničnega sekretariata CTBT (Delovna skupina za neširjenje orožja je odobrila osnutek novega sklepa Sveta, ki naj bi dopolnil Sklep Sveta 2010/461/SZVP in naj bi ga Svet sprejel leta 2012).

1.4   Konferenca o razoroževanju

EU si je vztrajno prizadevala za takojšen začetek pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih snovi (FMCT). Poleg tega je EU v vseh svojih prispevkih poudarila, da je pripravljena obravnavati tudi vsa druga vprašanja na dnevnem redu Konference o razoroževanju, zlasti o jedrskem razoroževanju, preprečevanju oboroževalne tekme v vesolju in negativnih varnostnih zagotovilih. Okrepila je tudi konstruktivna prizadevanja za razširitev te konference. Tudi v letu 2012 bo zato izkoristila vsako priložnost za spodbujanje mednarodne razprave o čim prejšnjem začetku pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih snovi in se na notranji ravni pripravljala na ta pogajanja, poleg tega pa bo sodelovala na vseh zadevnih dogodkih, tudi tistih, ki jih organizira pobuda za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje.

1.5   Regionalne zadeve (Iran, Demokratična ljudska republika Koreja)

EU si še vedno odločno prizadeva za diplomatsko rešitev iranskega jedrskega vprašanja s pogajanji, ki bi temeljila na Pogodbi o neširjenju jedrskega orožja ter celovitem izvajanju vseh ustreznih resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN in Sveta MAAE. Iran je pozvala, naj sprejme konkretne in praktične ukrepe, s katerimi bi okrepil zaupanje, da je njegov jedrski program povsem miroljuben, ter izpolni vse mednarodne obveznosti in se tako odzove na resno zaskrbljenost mednarodne skupnosti. Iran mora v celoti sodelovati z MAAE in razrešiti preostala vprašanja, vključno s tistimi, ki bi lahko imela vojaško razsežnost. Visoka predstavnica EU si je skupaj z E3 + 3 še naprej prizadevala, da bi Iran pritegnila k vsebinski razpravi o predlogih glede začetnih korakov za krepitev zaupanja, ki bi omogočilo obravnavo najpomembnejšega vprašanja 20-odstotnega bogatenja urana, nazadnje na primer na krogu pogovorov z Iranom 18. in 19. junija 2012 v Moskvi. EU obžaluje, da Iran še vedno ni uradno odobril dokumenta o strukturnem pristopu, ki ga je z MAAE obravnaval 8. junija 2012 in v katerem bi določili postopke za reševanje preostalih vprašanj v zvezi z iranskim jedrskim programom, vključno s tistimi z morebitno vojaško razsežnostjo.

V zvezi z DLRK je EU ostro obsodila poskus izstrelitve 13. aprila 2012, ki jasno krši resolucije Varnostnega sveta ZN 1695, 1718 in 1874, in znova odločno pozvala DLRK, naj popolnoma, preverljivo in nepovratno opusti vse svoje obstoječe jedrske programe in programe balističnih raket. EU je še naprej pozivala DLRK, naj znova v celoti izpolnjuje obveznosti glede nadzornih ukrepov iz Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in o nadzornih ukrepih MAAE ter MAAE omogoči zahtevani dostop do posameznikov, dokumentacije, opreme in obratov. EU je nenehno podpirala ponovni začetek šeststranskih pogovorov. Še odločneje je izvajala resoluciji VS ZN 1718 in 1874 ter okrepila izvajanje samostojnih omejevalnih ukrepov. Junija 2012 je DLRK izročila demaršo, s katero jo je pozvala, naj ratificira pogodbo o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov in se vzdrži vseh nadaljnjih izzivalnih dejanj, zlasti novih jedrskih poskusov.

2.   KEMIČNO OROŽJE

Svet je sprejel nov sklep, s katerim je podprl dejavnosti Organizacije za prepoved kemičnega orožja (v nadaljnjem besedilu: OPCW). Finančna pogajanja Komisije s tehničnim sekretariatom OPCW dobro napredujejo, tako da bi se lahko novi sklep Sveta začel kmalu izvajati. Delegacije so v Haagu pripravile stališče EU o prihodnji vlogi te organizacije, pri tem pa upoštevale, da je 29. april 2012 dokončen in že podaljšan rok za uničenje vseh preostalih zalog kemičnega orožja. Določene so bile štiri prednostne naloge: (i) dokončno uničenje obstoječih zalog; (ii) spodbujanje univerzalnosti Konvencije o prepovedi kemičnega orožja (CWC) (osem držav še vedno ni podpisalo te konvencije); (iii) preusmeritev v prizadevanja za neširjenje orožja; (iv) v skladu s členom XI pospeševanje izgradnje zmogljivosti v zvezi z varnostjo in zaščito v kemični industriji v državah v razvoju ter v skladu s členom X odzivanje na uporabo kemičnega orožja. V Haagu se je začelo usklajevanje ESZD in delegacij zaradi priprave skupnega stališča EU pred tretjo pregledno konferenco OPCW (aprila 2013).

EU je tudi pozorno spremljala razmere v Libiji, kjer je imela OPCW nalogo zagotoviti nedotakljivost zalog kemičnega orožja iz nekdanjega libijskega programa za kemično orožje.

3.   BIOLOŠKO OROŽJE

Po sedmi pregledni konferenci Konvencije o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja (Ženeva, december 2011) je EU začela priprave na program v obdobju med zasedanjema. O vlogi EU so razpravljale delovne skupine, ki so se dogovorile, da se pripravi skupno stališče, s katerim bi podprli sklepe in priporočila sedme pregledne konference. To je vključevalo projekte v zvezi z naslednjimi stalnimi točkami dnevnega reda: 1) mednarodno sodelovanje in pomoč; 2) intenzivnejše izvajanje na nacionalni ravni; 3) krepitev zmogljivosti za biološko varnost in biološko zaščito.

Pripravljena sta bila osnutka sklepov Sveta, namenjena podpori Konvenciji o prepovedi biološkega orožja oziroma dejavnostim Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije na področju biološke varnosti in biološke zaščite v laboratorijih, ki sta bila odobrena na ravni delovnih skupin in naj bi ju Svet sprejel julija oziroma jeseni.

4.   IZSTRELKI

Pospešeno se je nadaljevalo delo EU na področju neširjenja izstrelkov v podporo Haaškemu kodeksu ravnanja. Sklep Sveta 2008/974/SZVP z dne 18. decembra 2008, ki se je prenehal izvajati 1. julija 2011, je omogočil vrsto dejavnosti, ki naj bi se izvajale in zajemajo tri glavne vidike kodeksa: univerzalnost kodeksa, izvajanje kodeksa ter razširitev kodeksa in izboljšanje njegovega delovanja.

ESZD je na podlagi preteklih dejavnosti in predlogov, o katerih je razpravljala Delovna skupina za neširjenje orožja (CONOP), predlagala razširitev področja uporabe naslednjega sklepa Sveta, da bi nadalje podprla Haaški kodeks ravnanja in prav tako omogočila dejavnosti EU v podporo neširjenju izstrelkov na splošno. CONOP je sklep Sveta odobril aprila 2012. Po posvetovanju z državami članicami je bila za izvajalsko agencijo izbrana Fundacija za strateške raziskave (Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique) EU je dejavno sodelovala na letnem zasedanju Haaškega kodeksa ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov na Dunaju 31. maja in 1. junija 2012, kjer je bila v izjavo EU vključena jasna politična klavzula o sodelovanju tretjih držav, poleg tega pa bo EU v nadaljevanju tega leta organizirala priprave na deseto obletnico Haaškega kodeksa ravnanja. Ob tej priložnosti je bil predstavljen novi sklep Sveta.

EU in njene države članice so tudi v letu 2012 podpirale dejavnosti romunskega predsedstva Haaškemu kodeksa ravnanja, ki so bile med drugim usmerjene v ohranjanje sedanjega pozitivnega političnega zagona Kodeksa in izboljšanje njegove razpoznavnosti v svetu. Na seminarju Haaškega kodeksa ravnanja z naslovom „Deset let mednarodnega sodelovanja“ 26. in 27. aprila v Bukarešti, organiziranega ob deseti obletnici Kodeksa, je bil predstavljen obisk opazovalcev v Kourouju (Francoska Gvajana), ki je bil med prejšnjimi dejavnostmi financiranja EU.

5.   ZMANJŠEVANJE TVEGANJA KBRJ

EU je na podlagi zadevnih programov pomoči v okviru instrumentov Evropske skupnosti (zlasti instrumenta za stabilnost) in ob upoštevanju resolucije Evropskega parlamenta z dne 14. decembra 2010 (A7-0349/2010/P7_TA(2010)0467) okrepila izvajanje akcijskega načrta EU na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti (KBRJ), ki je bil sprejet leta 2009. V zvezi s tem je EU začela vzpostavljati center za usposabljanje na področju jedrske varnosti v okviru Skupnega raziskovalnega središča Evropske komisije in mu namenila začetna sredstva v višini 2,4 milijona EUR.

EU je pobudo za centre odličnosti EU za KBRJ sprejela maja 2010. Centri odličnosti EU za KBRJ se ustanavljajo zaradi spoznanja, da v mnogih državah nimajo zadostnih institucionalnih zmogljivosti za zmanjšanje tveganja KBRJ: kaznivih dejanj (širjenje KBRJ-snovi ali terorizem), naravnih nevarnosti (prašičja gripa) in nesreč (Bhopal ali Fukušima). Njihov cilj je oblikovanje politike na nacionalni in regionalni ravni za upoštevanje vseh nevarnosti KBRJ, s katero bi predvideli to tveganje in se nanj odzvali. Pri tem gre na kratko povedano za strukturne ukrepe za zmanjšanje ogroženosti držav zaradi dogodkov v zvezi s KBRJ, kar je vzajemni varnostni interes regij in EU.

Ta cilj je mogoče doseči s spodbujanjem vzpostavljanja strokovnih mrež na področju pravnih, regulativnih, tehničnih, nadzornih in izvršilnih vprašanj v zvezi z zmanjševanjem nevarnosti KBRJ.

Ustanavlja se pet regionalnih središč za območja Severne Afrike, afriške atlantske obale, Bližnji vzhod, jugovzhodno Evropo (Zakavkazje, Republiko Moldavijo, Ukrajino) in jugovzhodno Azijo, ki že začenjajo delo. Naslednji korak bo odprtje regionalnih sekretariatov v podsaharski Afriki, srednji Aziji in v zalivskih državah. Na različnih stopnjah izvedbe je že 33 projektov, katerih skupna vrednost je skoraj 26 milijonov EUR: projekti na stopnji obravnavanja ponudb in na stopnji opredeljevanja.

Centri odličnosti skupaj z drugimi projekti, ki se financirajo iz proračuna SZVP (glej odstavek 7), prispevajo k uresničevanjem ciljev Resolucije VS ZN 1540 za preprečevanje nedovoljenega prometa in kaznive uporabe KBRJ-snovi. Podlaga centrov odličnosti je obveznost izvajanja Resolucije VS ZN 1540, vendar je njihov cilj tudi priprava celovitega svežnja ukrepov za obvladovanje tveganj ne glede na izvor.

6.   MOŽGANSKI TRUSTI

Delo EU v okviru strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje je na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2010/430/SZVP z dne 26. julija 2010 dejavno podprl konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja, ki je začel delovati januarja 2011. Po prvem posvetovalnem srečanju („uvodno srečanje“) evropske mreže neodvisnih skupin možganskih trustov o neširjenju orožja (23. in 24. maj 2011) in seminarju EU v podporo vzpostavitvi območij brez orožja za množično uničevanje na Bližnjem vzhodu (6. in 7. julij 2011), je bilo 3. in 4. februarja 2012 uspešno organizirano prvo letno srečanje z naslovom „Konferenca EU o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju“, na kateri je bilo skoraj 200 udeležencev iz EU in tretjih držav. Naslednja konferenca bo predvidoma leta 2014. Do takrat pa konzorcij v sodelovanju z drugimi evropskimi možganskimi trusti s tega področja še naprej izdaja delovne dokumente v zvezi z izvajanjem strategije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje, ki so javno dostopni na spletni strani konzorcija <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>.

7.   RESOLUCIJA VARNOSTNEGA SVETA ZDRUŽENIH NARODOV 1540 IN NADZOR IZVOZA

EU je s podpisom skupne izjave z ZDA ob robu 66. zasedanja Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov (19. oktobra 2011 v New Yorku) potrdila dolgoletno zavezo za izvajanje resolucij 1540 in 1977.

S tem je dodatno podprla tretje države pri izpolnjevanju njihovih obveznosti iz Resolucije Varnostnega sveta ZN 1540 ter pri izboljševanju znanja in veščin državnih uradnikov, udeleženih v postopku nadzora nad izvozom; v ta namen je skupaj z Uradom Združenih narodov za razorožitev (UNODA) in Odborom 1540 organizirala več regionalnih delavnic in dvostranskih obiskov. Pripravljen je bil osnutek novega sklepa Sveta o podpori Resoluciji VSZN 1540, katerega osrednja tema je izvajanje na nacionalni ravni in je zdaj v postopku dokončnega oblikovanja. Izvajal naj bi se skupaj z UNODA in naj bi podprl delo Odbora 1540, katerega mandat je bil z Resolucijo 1977, sprejeto aprila 2011, podaljšan za 10 let.

Z uredbo 1232/2011 z dne 16. novembra 2011 in uredbo 388/2012 z dne 19. aprila 2012 je bil ponovno spremenjen režim EU za nadzor izvoza blaga z dvojno rabo.

EU je poleg tega začela izvajati obsežen program tehnične pomoči pri nadzoru izvoza, ki bo sprva namenjen sosednjim državam, postopoma pa naj bi se razširil na jugovzhodno Azijo in Sredozemlje. EU je bila tudi ena od pokroviteljic konference mednarodnih, regionalnih in podregionalnih industrijskih združenj o Resoluciji Varnostnega sveta ZN 1540 (2004) v Wiesbadnu (Nemčija) od 23. do 25. aprila 2012, skupaj z ZDA pa je tudi organizirala 13. mednarodno konferenco o nadzoru izvoza v Portorožu od 7. do 9. maja 2012.

8.   VESOLJE

EU se je na podlagi sklepov Sveta z dne 27. septembra 2010, v katere je bil vključen revidirani osnutek kodeksa ravnanja za dejavnosti v vesolju, posvetovala z vrsto držav, ki so že dejavne na področju vesolja, pa tudi s tistimi, ki še niso, ter razpravljala o predlogu in zbrala njihova stališča. EU je na podlagi teh posvetovanj pripravila revidirani osnutek, ki je bil predstavljen na srečanju 5. junija 2012 na Dunaju, na katerem je bilo 110 udeležencev iz 40 držav. To srečanje je bila priložnost za uradni začetek večstranskega diplomatskega procesa za dokončno oblikovanje kodeksa. Prvo večstransko srečanje strokovnjakov za razpravo o osnutku kodeksa bo oktobra 2012, udeležile pa se ga bodo lahko vse države. Za dokončno oblikovanje kodeksa bo potrebnih več večstranskih srečanj strokovnjakov. Ta srečanja bodo priprave na poznejše diplomatske dejavnosti, med drugim ad-hoc diplomatsko konferenco, na kateri bo kodeks na voljo za podpis.

9.   KLAVZULE O OROŽJU ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE

EU je v skladu s strategijo proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje še naprej vključevala načelo o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v svoje pogodbene odnose s tretjimi državami.

Nadaljnji napredek je bil dosežen v pogajanjih glede klavzule o orožju za množično uničevanje v ustreznih sporazumih med EU in tretjimi državami, zlasti Mercosurjem, Afganistanom, Avstralijo, Azerbajdžanom, Kanado, Kazahstanom in Malezijo.

10.   VEČSTRANSKI FORUMI

—   Skupina G8

EU je dejavno sodelovala na več sestankih vodilnih uradnikov držav skupine G8, pristojnih za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje, pred vrhom skupine G8 v Camp Davidu ter pri pripravi izjave vrha skupine G8 o neširjenju orožja, skupaj z ameriškim predsedstvom skupine G8 pa je pomagala tudi pri izročanju več demarš v zvezi z dodatnim protokolom MAAE.

Globalno partnerstvo (GP) se je leta 2002, devet let po vzpostavitvi, razširilo prek skupine G8 in postalo platforma za usklajevanje in sodelovanje; v njem zdaj sodeluje 15 novih partneric. Voditelji so se na vrhu maja 2011 v Deauvillu dogovorili o nadaljnji okrepitvi biološke varnosti, izvajanja Resolucije 1540 in jedrske varnosti. ZDA, ki so leta 2012 predsedovale skupini G8, so ta proces še spodbudile z vzpostavitvijo podskupine „globalno partnerstvo – biološka varnost“ v delovni skupini „globalno partnerstvo“. Pomembni temi razprav sta bili še vključitev (drugih) regionalnih organizacij in okrepitev lastne odgovornosti na regionalni ravni. Centri odličnosti EU so v skupini G8 in v globalnem partnerstvu G8 postali pomembno orodje za lažjo izmenjavo informacij na regionalni ravni in za izogibanje morebitnim podvajanjem med donatorji.

—   Regionalni forum ASEAN

EU je okrepila svoje sodelovanje v dejavnostih regionalnega foruma Združenja držav jugovzhodne Azije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: ARF). Udeležila se je srečanja med zasedanjema ARF o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju 8. in 9. marca 2012 v Sydneyu. Podprla je sprejetje osnutka delovnega načrta za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje ter poročala o svoji pomoči pri nadzoru izvoza blaga, povezanega z orožjem za množično uničevanje, in pobudi o centrih odličnosti EU za KBRJ, osredotočeni na jugovzhodno Azijo. Po štirih letih oblikovanja osnutka delovnega načrta je bil na srečanju med zasedanjema ARF o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju osnutek končno odobren, ministri pa bi ga lahko sprejeli na zasedanju ARF julija 2012. Naslednje srečanje med zasedanjema ARF o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju bo na Filipinih leta 2013, ko bo obravnavana predvsem miroljubna uporaba, in leta 2014 na Japonskem, ko bo obravnavano razoroževanje.

11.   SREČANJA V OKVIRU POLITIČNEGA DIALOGA

Srečanja v okviru političnega dialoga o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju so bila organizirana na ravni delovnih skupin z Južno Afriko (8. maja 2012 na Dunaju) in Argentino (9. maja 2012 na Dunaju). Neformalna posvetovanja o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju pa so med drugim potekala z Indijo (29. marca 2012 v Bruslju), Brazilijo, Egiptom, Rusko federacijo, ZDA in Uradom ZN za razorožitev (30. aprila 2012 na Dunaju) ter Japonsko (11. maja 2012 na Dunaju).
