Sešu mēnešu progresa ziņojums par to, kā tiek īstenota ES masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas stratēģija (2012/I)

2012/C 237/01

Ievads

Šajā progresa ziņojumā ir ietvertas darbības, kuras 2012. gada pirmajā pusē ir veiktas saistībā ar MII stratēģijas īstenošanu (dok. 15708/03), kuru Eiropadome pieņēmusi 2003. gada decembrī, ņemot vērā “Atjaunināto prioritāšu sarakstu” (dok. 10747/08), ko Padome pieņēmusi 2008. gada jūnijā, un “Jaunas darbības līnijas” (dok. 17172/08), ko Padome pieņēmusi 2008. gada decembrī.

Pēc Eiropas Ārējās darbības dienesta (EĀDD) izveides Augstā pārstāve, kuru atbalsta EĀDD personāls, pilda lielāko daļu uzdevumu, ko agrāk rotācijas kārtībā veica ES Padomes prezidentvalstis, un pakāpeniski pārņem atlikušos uzdevumus, kurus rotējošās prezidentvalstis pašlaik veic, lai atbalstītu EĀDD, it īpaši dažās starptautiskās sanāksmēs. Augstās pārstāves pārstāvji vada Padomes darba grupas, kas nodarbojas ar ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas un atbruņošanās jautājumiem, un organizē ES koordināciju starptautiskos ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas un atbruņošanās forumos, cenšoties nodrošināt aktīvas un pamanāmas ES lomas nepārtrauktību, kā paredzēts Lisabonas līgumā. Dažās starptautiskās sanāksmēs saistībā ar to, ka Eiropas Savienībai tajās nebija savas vietas, rotējošā prezidentvalsts turpināja sniegt paziņojumus ES vārdā vai ES un tās dalībvalstu vārdā.

ES pamatprincips un vispārējais mērķis šajā jomā aizvien ir bijis veicināt starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu vispārēju piemērojumu un īstenošanu attiecīgās valstīs saskaņā ar ES Masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas stratēģijas mērķiem. Attiecīgi tā tiecās šos mērķus sasniegt visos galvenajos pasākumos pirmajā pusgadā, proti, februārī notikušajā ES ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konferencē, martā Seulā notikušajā kodoldrošības samitā, no aprīļa līdz maijam notikušajā ieroču neizplatīšanas līguma sagatavošanas komitejā, kā arī vairākos citos starptautiskos forumos, konvenciju dalībvalstu ikgadējās sanāksmēs, konferencēs utt.

Tā ir turpinājusi tiekties uz visu pieejamo instrumentu un finanšu resursu (KĀDP budžeta, stabilitātes instrumenta, citu instrumentu) efektīvu un savstarpēji papildinošu pielietojumu, lai starptautisku organizāciju un trešo valstu atbalstam veltītās ES darbības būtu pēc iespējas ietekmīgākas.

ES ir turpinājusi cieši sadarboties ar partnervalstīm un citām trešām valstīm, lai panāktu vispārēju sapratni jautājumā, ka starptautiskais ieroču neizplatīšanas režīms ir jāstiprina. Ir turpinājušies centieni ieroču neizplatīšanas jautājumiem pievērsties divpusējās ES attiecībās ar visām attiecīgajām valstīm, it īpaši politiska dialoga sanāksmēs un neoficiālākā saziņā.

1.   KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa (CONOP) aktīvi darbojās SAEA valdes sanāksmju sagatavošanā 2012. gada martā un jūnijā. Tajās tika apspriests un sagatavots ES ieguldījums Seulas kodoldrošības samitā, ieroču neizplatīšanas līguma sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmē, Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupā, Austrālijas grupā, kā arī citās attiecīgās sanāksmēs kodoldrošuma jomā. Tā palīdzēja ES īstenot jaunās darbības līnijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un to piegādes sistēmu izplatīšanas apkarošanā, apspriežot dažādas šajā jomā paredzētas darbības, tostarp saistībā ar konsulāro un zinātnisko modrību.

1.1   Papildpasākumi pēc 2010. gada Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) pārskatīšanas konferences

ES aktīvi piedalījās 2010. gada Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmē (PrepCom), kas notika Vīnē no 2012. gada 30. aprīļa līdz 11. maijam, un ziņoja par komitejas darbībām attiecībā uz 2010. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencē pieņemtā rīcības plāna īstenošanu, tostarp attiecībā uz izpratni, kas panākta saistībā ar Tuvajiem Austrumiem. ES sniedza vienu vispārēju paziņojumu un trīs paziņojumu apkopojumu un iesniedza divus darba dokumentus (vienu attiecībā uz 2010. gada ieroču neizplatīšanas līguma pārskatīšanas konferences secinājumiem un ieteikumiem turpmākai rīcībai, un otru – kodoltehnoloģiju miermīlīgai izmantošanai). Sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmes laikā tā kopā ar SAEA organizēja labi apmeklētu papildu pasākumu par minēto jautājumu. Ar 2012. gada konferences starpnieku apsprieda līdzīgu turpmāko ierosmi, balstoties uz Briselē 2011. gada 6.–7. jūlijā rīkotā veiksmīgā ES semināra rezultātiem, dodot ieguldījumu, lai īstenotu 2010. gada 13. decembrī pieņemto Padomes Lēmumu 2010/799, ar ko atbalsta uzticības veicināšanas procesu, lai Tuvajos Austrumos izveidotu zonu, kurā nav masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un to nogādes līdzekļu, atbalstot ES Stratēģijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai īstenošanu. Tiek veikts darbs, lai nākamajā rudenī ES varētu sarīkot vēl vienu otras pieejas pasākumu.

1.2   SAEA

ES ir pastiprinājusi atbalstu Starptautiskajai atomenerģijas aģentūrai (SAEA) Vīnē. ES joprojām ir galvenā līdzekļu devēja Kodoldrošības fondā – 2004. gada tā ir ieguldījusi vairāk nekā EUR 30 miljonus. Kā papildu darbību saistībā ar kodoldrošību ES ir sniegusi tehniskās zināšanas SAEA rīkotu apmācību un semināru vajadzībām, kas paredzēti trešām valstīm, lai uzlabotu spējas apkarot nelikumīgu kodolmateriālu un radioaktīvu materiālu tirdzniecību. ES un SAEA ir koordinējušas savu atbalstu trešām valstīm šajā jomā cita starpā ar Robežuzraudzības jautājumu darba grupas starpniecību. Tā arī iesaistījās diskusijās ar SAEA, lai pastiprinātu sadarbību citās SAEA darbības jomās, lai palielinātu ES ieguldījuma pamanāmību un lai vēl vairāk saskaņotu rīcību, it īpaši kodoldrošības jomā, lai tādējādi nodrošinātu papildināmību un izvairītos no ES CBRN izcilības centru un SAEA sākto darbību pārklāšanās, un lai gūtu labumu no viņu papildināmības.

Pamatojoties uz Padomes secinājumiem, Eiropas Savienība kopš 2008. gada ir apņēmusies no KĀDP budžeta un stabilitātes instrumenta SAEA mazbagātināta urāna (LEU – Low Enriched Uranium) bankā ieguldīt līdz EUR 25 miljoniem. Tā sniedza arī vairāk nekā EUR 5 miljonus starptautiskam projektam, kura mērķis ir paplašināt un modernizēt Zeibersdorfas laboratoriju. Darbs ar šo ieguldījumu turpinās. Attiecībā uz SAEA mazbagātināta urāna banku pirmā iemaksa (EUR 10 miljoni, ko ar Stabilitātes instrumenta starpniecību SAEA izmaksāta 2011. gada 8. decembrī) tiks papildināta ar otro iemaksu EUR 10 miljonu apmērā no stabilitātes instrumenta. Vēl vienu iemaksu paredzēts sniegt no KĀDP budžeta, balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu, ko paredzēts Padomē apstiprināt 2013. gada sākumā. Attiecībā uz Zeibersdorfas laboratoriju pirmā iemaksa (EUR 4 750 000, kas ar Stabilitātes instrumenta starpniecību SAEA izmaksāta 2011. gada 2. decembrī) ar papildu ieguldījumu tiks papildināta 2012. gadā. Ar Eiropas Komisijas Kooperatīvā atbalsta programmas starpniecību ES turpināja sniegt ievērojamu tehnisko atbalstu SAEA kodolmateriālu drošības mehānismu jomā. ES ir pielietojusi savus dažādos instrumentus, tostarp ar SAEA starpniecību, lai nodrošinātu kodoltehnoloģijas mierīga izmantojuma drošu un neapdraudētu īstenošanu trešās valstīs.

1.3   Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT)

ES aktīvi darbojās, lai panāktu Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) drīzu stāšanos spēkā, balstoties uz attiecīgiem Padomes lēmumiem Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizācijas (CTBTO) atbalstam un veicot propagandas pasākumus attiecībā uz atlikušajām II pielikumā minētajām valstīm, kurām līgums jāratificē, lai tas varētu stāties spēkā. ES ir atjauninājusi iekšējās pamatnostādnes, ar ko atbalsta CTBT stāšanos spēkā, balstoties uz kurām informētību par CTBT turpinās palielināt vairākos kontekstos, tostarp politiskā dialoga sanāksmēs, lai radītu turpmāku impulsu līguma ratificēšanai.

ES ir veikusi aktīvu darbību, lai īstenotu Padomes 2008. gada 15. jūlija Lēmumu 2008/588/KĀDP un Padomes 2010. gada 26. jūlija Lēmumu 2010/461/KĀDP. 2012. gada 30. jūnijā tika pabeigta Padomes Lēmuma 2008/588/KĀDP īstenošana. Ņemot vērā neparedzētu kavēšanos aprīkojuma iepirkumā, CTBTO pagaidu tehniskais sekretariāts lūdza Padomes Lēmuma 2010/461/KĀDP īstenošanas periodu pagarināt par diviem gadiem – sākotnēji bija paredzēts, ka tā termiņš būs 2012. gada 16. maijs. ES ir sākusi darbu, lai sniegtu iespējamu papildu atbalstu CTBTO pagaidu tehniskā sekretariāta darbā (jaunā Padomes lēmuma projektu, ar ko papildina Padomes Lēmumu 2010/461/KĀDP, apstiprināja CONOP, un to paredzēts pieņemt Padomē 2012. gadā).

1.4   Atbruņošanās konference

ES neatlaidīgi mēģina panākt, lai nekavējoties tiktu sāktas sarunas par Skaldmateriālu ražošanas aizlieguma līgumu (Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty – FMCT). Turklāt ES visos paziņojumos ir apliecinājusi gatavību iesaistīties arī visos citos jautājumos atbruņošanās konferences darba kārtībā, it īpaši par kodolatbruņošanos, par bruņošanās sacensības novēršanu kosmosā un par negatīvām drošības garantijām. Turklāt ES ir izvērsusi konstruktīvo darbu, ko tā veikusi, lai panāktu atbruņošanās konferences paplašināšanu. ES turpinās 2012. gadā izmantot katru iespēju, lai virzītu uz priekšu starptautiskās diskusijas par FMCT sarunām un iekšēji sagatavotos to drīzai uzsākšanai, un piedalīsies saistītos pasākumos, tostarp pasākumos, ko rīko neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu ierosme (NPDI).

1.5   Reģionāli jautājumi (Irāna, KTDR)

ES joprojām pauž pilnīgu apņemšanos īstenot pašreizējos centienus, kuru mērķis ir sarunās panākt diplomātisku risinājumu Irānas kodoljautājumam, balstoties uz Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumu un visu atbilstīgo ANO DP un SAEA valdes rezolūciju pilnīgu īstenošanu. ES mudina Irānu veikt konkrētus un praktiskus pasākumus, kuru mērķis ir vairot pārliecību par to, ka Irānas kodolprogramma ir paredzēta vienīgi miermīlīgiem mērķiem, un ievērot visas starptautiskās saistības, ko tā uzņēmusies, lai mazinātu starptautiskās sabiedrības paustās nopietnās bažas. Irānai pilnībā jāsadarbojas ar SAEA, lai atrisinātu neatrisinātos jautājumus, tostarp tos, kas attiecas uz iespējamiem militāriem aspektiem. ES augstā pārstāve līdz ar E3 + 3 ir turpinājusi centienus iesaistīt Irānu diskusijās par sākotnēju uzticības vairošanas pasākumu projektiem, lai mazinātu lielākās bažas par 20 % urāna bagātināšanas darbībām, kas nesen tika paustas 2012. gada 18.–19. jūnijā Maskavā notikušajā sarunu kārtā ar Irānu. ES pauda nožēlu par to, ka Irāna vēl nav sniegusi oficiālu piekrišanu strukturētas pieejas dokumentam, par ko 2012. gada 8. jūnijā notika apspriedes ar SAEA un kurā tiktu noteiktas iespējas, kā atrisināt saistībā ar Irānas kodolprogrammu neatrisinātos jautājumus, tostarp jautājumus, kas attiecas uz iespējamo militāro dimensiju.

Attiecībā uz Korejas Tautas Demokrātisko Republiku ES ir paudusi stingru nosodījumu 2012. gada 13. aprīlī veiktajam raķetes palaišanas mēģinājumam, kas ir skaidrs ANO Drošības Padomes Rezolūcijas Nr. 1695, Nr. 1718 un Nr. 1874 pārkāpums, un turpina Korejas Tautas Demokrātisko Republiku stingri mudināt pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatsaucami atteikties no visām tās pastāvošajām kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmām. ES joprojām aicina Korejas Tautas Demokrātisko Republiku atkal nodrošināt pilnīgu atbilstību Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumam un SAEA drošības saistībām un sniegt SAEA lūgto piekļuvi atsevišķām personām, dokumentiem, aprīkojumam un iekārtām. ES ir pastāvīgi atbalstījusi sešu pušu sarunu procesa atsākšanu. ES pastiprināja ANO DP Rezolūcijas Nr. 1718 un Nr. 1874 īstenošanu. Tā turpināja pastiprināt tās autonomo ierobežojošo pasākumu īstenošanu. ES 2012. gada jūnijā veica demaršu pret Korejas Tautas Demokrātisko Republiku, mudinot to ratificēt CTBT un atturēties no turpmākām provokatīvām darbībām, it īpaši no jauniem kodolizmēģinājumiem.

2.   ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

Padome pieņēma jaunu Padomes lēmumu Ķīmisko ieroču aizlieguma organizācijas (OPCW) darbību atbalstam. Komisijas un OPCW tehniskā sekretariāta finansiālās sarunas ir labi pavirzījušās uz priekšu un drīz sāksies jaunā Padomes lēmuma īstenošana. Delegācijas Hāgā izstrādāja ES nostāju jautājumā par organizācijas turpmāko lomu, ņemot vērā galīgo pagarināto termiņu visu atlikušo ķīmisko ieroču krājumu iznīcināšanai (2012. gada 29. aprīlis). Tika noteiktas četras prioritātes: i) pabeigt atlikušo krājumu iznīcināšanu; ii) veicināt Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas nozīmi pasaulē (astoņas valstis vēl nav līgumslēdzējas puses); iii) pārkārtoties uz neizplatīšanas centieniem; iv) atbalstīt spēju veicināšanu saistībā ar ķīmiskās rūpniecības drošību un drošumu jaunattīstības valstīs saskaņā ar XI pantu un veikt atbildes pasākumus saistībā ar ķīmisko ieroču lietošanu saskaņā ar X pantu. Saskaņošana starp SAEA un delegācijām Hāgā sākās ar mērķi izstrādāt kopīgu ES nostāju, gatavojoties trešajai OPCW pārskatīšanas konferencei (2013. gada aprīlis).

ES arī cieši sekoja situācijas attīstībai Lībijā, kur OPCW bija jānodrošina bijušās Lībijas ķīmisko ieroču programmas ķīmisko ieroču uzkrājumu integritāte.

3.   BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

Pēc septītās BTIK pārskatīšanas konferences (Ženēva, 2011. gada decembris) ES sāka gatavot starpsanāksmju procesu. Darba grupas līmenī notika apspriedes par ES lomu, un tika panākta vienošanās sagatavot kopēju nostāju, lai atbalstītu septītās pārskatīšanas konferences lēmumus un ieteikumus. Tas ietvēra projektus, kas saistīti ar šādiem pašreizējiem darba kārtības jautājumiem: 1) starptautiska sadarbība un palīdzība; 2) valsts īstenošanas stiprināšana; 3) spēju veidošana biodrošuma un biodrošības jomā.

BTIK atbalstam un Pasaules veselības organizācijas darbību atbalstam laboratoriju biodrošuma un biodrošības jomā darba grupas līmenī tika sagatavoti un apstiprināti jauni padomes lēmumi, lai Padome tos varētu pieņemtu attiecīgi jūlijā un rudenī.

4.   RAĶETES

Ir pastiprinājies ES darbs raķešu neizplatīšanas jomā, koncentrējoties uz atbalstu Hāgas rīcības kodeksam pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC). Padomes 2008. gada 18. decembra Lēmumā 2008/974/KĀDP, kura īstenošanas termiņš beidzās 2011. gada 1. jūlijā, tika dots atbalsts veikt virkni darbību, kas attiecas uz kodeksa trim galvenajiem aspektiem – universālumu, īstenošanu un attiecīgi pastiprināšanu un uzlabotu darbību.

Balstoties uz iepriekšējām darbībām un priekšlikumiem, kas apspriesti MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupā, EĀDD ierosināja paplašināt nākamā Padomes lēmuma darbības jomu, lai varētu turpināt sniegt atbalstu HCOC un arī dot iespēju veikt ES darbības raķešu neizplatīšanas atbalstam plašākā izpratnē. MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa Padomes lēmumu apstiprināja 2012. gada aprīlī. Pēc konsultācijām ar dalībvalstīm Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) tika izraudzīta par īstenošanas aģentūru. ES aktīvi piedalījās Hāgas rīcības kodeksa pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu ikgadējā sanāksmē, kas notika Vīnē no 2012. gada 31. maija līdz 1. jūnijam, kur ES paziņojumā tika pausts spēcīgs politisks noteikums par trešo valstu pievienošanos, un vēlāk šogad tiks gatavotas Hāgas rīcības kodeksa 10. gadadienas svinības. Šajā pasākumā iepazīstināja ar jauno Padomes lēmumu.

2012. gadā ES un tās dalībvalstis joprojām pauda atbalstu Rumānijas darbībām HCoC priekšsēdētāja statusā, cita starpā, par darbībām, lai konsolidētu pašreizējo pozitīvo kodeksa attīstību un lai plašāk izvērstu informāciju par to pasaules mērogā. HCoC seminārā “Desmit gadi starptautiskas sadarbības”, kas 26.–27. aprīlī Bukarestē notika kā ieguldījums, lai atzīmētu desmit gadus kopš kodeksa sākšanas, tika sniegta informācija par 2011. gada novērošanas misiju Kuru (Francijas Gviāna) – iepriekšējo ES fonda darbību.

5.   
  CBRN RADĪTO APDRAUDĒJUMU MAZINĀŠANA

ES ir sekmējusi 2009. gadā pieņemtā ES CBRN (ķīmiskā, bioloģiskā, radioloģiskā un kodolapdraudējuma) rīcības plāna īstenošanu, balstoties uz attiecīgām Eiropas Kopienas instrumentos (it īpaši stabilitātes instrumentā) iekļautām palīdzības programmām un ņemot vērā Eiropas Parlamenta 2010. gada 14. decembra rezolūciju (A7-0349/2010/P7_TA(2010)0467). Šajā sakarībā ES ir uzsākusi darbu pie Kodoldrošības izglītības centra izveides Eiropas Komisijas Kopīgā pētniecības centra paspārnē ar sākotnējo ieguldījumu EUR 2,4 miljonu apmērā.

ES 2010. gada maijā sāka ierosmi “ES CBRN izcilības centri”. ES CBRN izcilības centri tiek veidoti, reaģējot uz secinājumu, ka dažās valstīs organizatoriskās spējas nav pietiekamas, lai cīnītos pret CBRN apdraudējumu: ko rada noziedzīgas darbības (CBRN izplatīšana vai terorisms), dabīgs apdraudējums (cūku gripa) un negadījumu izraisītas katastrofas (Bopala vai Fukušima). To mērķis ir izstrādāt visa veida apdraudējumu ietverošu CBRN politiku valsts vai reģionālā līmenī, lai šos apdraudējumus paredzētu un reaģētu uz tiem. Formulējot īsāk, tie ir strukturāli pasākumi, lai mazinātu valstu neaizsargātību pret CBRN pasākumiem, savstarpēji saistot reģionus un ES drošību.

Lai panāktu šo mērķi, ir jāatbalsta reģionālu ekspertu tīklu izveide tiesiskiem, reglamentējošiem, tehniskiem, kontroles un īstenošanas jautājumiem attiecībā uz CBRN apdraudējumu mazināšanu.

Tiek veidoti un sāk darbu pieci reģionālie centri Ziemeļāfrikā, Āfrikas daļā, kas atrodas Atlantijas okeāna pusē, Tuvajos Austrumos, Dienvidaustrumeiropā (Dienvidkaukāzs, Moldovas Republika, Ukraina) un Dienvidaustrumāzijā. Nākamais solis būs reģionālu sekretariātu atvēršana Subsahāras Āfrikā, Vidusāzijā un Persijas līča valstīs. Trīsdesmit trīs projekti, kuru apjoms sasniedz gandrīz EUR 26 miljonus, jau tiek realizēti dažādos īstenošanas līmeņos: projektu piedāvājumi tiek izvērtēti vai tiek precizēti.

Izcilības centri līdz ar citiem KĀDP budžetā (sk. 7. punktu) paredzētajiem ES fondiem palīdz īstenot mērķus, kas minēti ANO DP Rezolūcijā Nr. 1540 par cīņu pret CBRN materiālu nelikumīgu tirdzniecību vai noziedzīgu izmantošanu. To pamatā ir ANO DP Rezolūcijas Nr. 1540 īstenošanas obligātais raksturs un to darbība ir plašāka nekā tikai piedāvāt plašu rīcības kopumu cīņai pret apdraudējumiem neatkarīgi no to izcelsmes.

6.   IDEJU ĢENERATORI

Balstoties uz 2010. gada 26. jūlija Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP, ES darbu saistībā ar ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai aktīvi atbalstīja ES ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs, kas savu darbību sāka 2011. gada janvārī. Pēc Eiropas ieroču neizplatīšanas ideju ģeneratoru tīkla pirmās konsultatīvās sanāksmes (“ievada sanāksmes”) (2011. gada 23.–24. maijā) un pēc ES semināra par no MII brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos (2011. gada 6.–7. jūlijs), 2012. gada 3.–4. februārī veiksmīgi notika pirmā gadskārtējā sanāksmear nosaukumu “ES ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konference”, kurā piedalījās gandrīz 200 dalībnieku no ES un trešām valstīm. Paredzēts, ka nākamā konference notiks 2014. gadā. Šajā laikā konsorcijs sadarbībā ar citām Eiropas ideju laboratorijām turpināja gatavot darba dokumentus, kas attiecas uz tādas MII stratēģijas īstenošanu, kas ir publiski pieejama Konsorcija tīmekļa vietnē <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>.

7.   APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA NR. 1540 UN EKSPORTA KONTROLES MEHĀNISMI

ES kopā ar ASV sanāksmē, kas notika līdztekus Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Ģenerālās asamblejas 66. sesijai (2011. gada 19. oktobris, Ņujorka), parakstot kopīgu deklarāciju, pauda savu nelokāmo apņēmību panākt Rezolūcijas Nr. 1540 un Rezolūcijas Nr. 1977 īstenošanu.

ES pastiprināja atbalstu trešām valstīm, lai tās varētu izpildīt savas saistības atbilstīgi ANO Drošības Padomes Rezolūcijai Nr. 1540 un lai uzlabotu eksporta kontrolē iesaistītu valstu amatpersonu iemaņas, kopīgi ar ANO Atbruņošanās lietu biroju un “Komiteju 1540” organizējot vairākus reģionālus seminārus un veicot divpusējas vizītes. Jauns Padomes lēmums, lai atbalstītu ANO DP Rezolūciju Nr. 1540, kas vērsta uz valsts īstenošanas centieniem, ir sagatavots un tiek izstrādāta tā galīgā redakcija, – to paredzēts īstenot kopā ar ANO Atbruņošanās lietu biroju, lai atbalstītu “Komitejas 1540” darbu, kuras pilnvaru termiņš saskaņā ar 2011. gada aprīlī pieņemto Rezolūciju Nr. 1977 ir pagarinātas uz 10 gadiem.

ES divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroles režīms ir vēl vairāk grozīts ar 2011. gada 16. novembrī pieņemto Regulu Nr. 1232/2011, un ar 2012. gada 19. aprīlī pieņemto Regulu Nr. 388/2012.

ES sāka arī plašu tehniskās palīdzības programmu par eksporta kontroli, kas pirmkārt ir vērsta uz kaimiņvalstīm un pakāpeniski tiks izvērsta līdz Dienvidaustrumāzijai un Vidusjūras reģionam. Šajā sakarā ES finansiāli atbalstīja konferenci “Starptautisko, reģionālo un apakšreģionu ražošanas asociāciju konference par ANO DP Rezolūciju Nr. 1540 (2004)”, kas no 2012. gada 23. aprīlim līdz 25. aprīlim notika Vīzbādenē (Vācija), un ES kopā ar ASV organizēja 13. starptautisko konferenci par eksporta kontroli, kas no 2012. gada 7. maija līdz 9. maijam notika Portorožā (Slovēnijā).

8.   KOSMOSS

Balstoties uz Padomes 2010. gada 27. septembra secinājumiem, kuros ir ietverts pārskatīts projekts Rīcības kodeksam kosmosā veiktām darbībām, ES ir konsultējusies ar vairākām valstīm, kuras ir aktīvas vai vēl nav aktīvas kosmosa jautājumu jomā, lai apspriestu minēto priekšlikumu un uzzinātu to viedokļus. Balstoties uz šīm konsultācijām, ES sagatavoja pārskatītu projektu, ko 2012. gada 5. jūnijā iesniedza Vīnē sanāksmē, kurā piedalījās 110 dalībnieki no vairāk nekā 40 valstīm. Šī sanāksme bija iespēja oficiāli sākt daudzpusēju diplomātisku procesu, lai izstrādātu kodeksa galīgo redakciju. Pirmā daudzpusējā ekspertu sanāksme, kurā paredzēts apspriest kodeksa projektu, notiks 2012. gada oktobrī, un tajā varēs piedalīties visas valstis. Kodeksa galīgās redakcijas izstrādāšanai būs vajadzīgas vairākas daudzpusējas ekspertu sanāksmes. Šīs sanāksmes dos iespēju sagatavoties turpmākiem diplomātiskiem pasākumiem, tostarp ad hoc diplomātiskajai konferencei, kurā minētais kodekss tiks nodots parakstīšanai.

9.   MASU IZNĪCINĀŠANAS IEROČU KLAUZULAS

Saskaņā ar Masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas stratēģiju ES, veidojot līgumattiecības ar trešām valstīm, ir turpinājusi aktualizēt MII neizplatīšanas jautājumus.

Tika gūti jauni panākumi sarunās par MII klauzulām attiecīgos nolīgumos starp ES un trešām valstīm, un it īpaši ar Dienvidu kopējā tirgus (MERCOSUR) valstīm, Afganistānu, Austrāliju, Azerbaidžānu, Kanādu, Kazahstānu un Malaiziju.

10.   DAUDZPUSĒJI FORUMI

—   G8

Gatavojoties Camp David G8 samitam un gatavojot G8 samita paziņojumu par ieroču neizplatīšanu, ES sadarbībā ar prezidentvalsti ASV aktīvi piedalījās vairākās ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksmēs un palīdzēja veikt vairākas darbības saistībā ar SAEA papildprotokolu.

Deviņus gadus kopš 2002. gada, kad izveidoja Globālo partnerību, tā ir paplašinājusies un tagad aptver ne tikai G8 valstis, bet ir kļuvusi par koordinācijas un sadarbības platformu, kurā tagad ir 15 jauni partneri. Dovilas samitā 2011. gada maijā līderi vienojās turpināt stiprināt bioloģisko drošību, Rezolūcijas Nr. 1540 īstenošanu un kodoldrošību. ASV, pildot G8 priekšsēdētāja pienākumus 2012. gadā šo jautājumu pavirzīja uz priekšu, it īpaši Globālās partnerības darba grupā izveidojot Globālās partnerības biodrošības apakšgrupu. Svarīgs diskusiju jautājums bija jautājums par (citu) reģionālo organizāciju iesaisti, kā arī reģionālās atbildības pastiprināšanu. Darbojoties G8 un G8 Globālajā partnerībā, ES izcilības centri tika nostiprināti, it īpaši kā rīks, lai atvieglotu informācijas apmaiņu reģionālā mērogā un, iespējams, izvairītos no darbību dublēšanās līdzekļu devēju starpā.

—   ASEAN reģionālais forums

ES turpināja piedalīties ASEAN reģionālā foruma (ARF) darbībās. It īpaši ES piedalījās ASEAN Reģionālā foruma starpsesiju sanāksmē ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos, kas notika Sidnejā 2012. gada 8.–9. martā. ES pauda atbalstu tam, lai šis ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās darba plāns tiktu pieņemts, un informēja par Eiropas Savienības palīdzību ar MII saistīta eksporta kontrolei un CBRN izcilības centru iniciatīvu, uzmanību vēršot uz Dienvidaustrumāziju. Pēc četrus gadus ilga darba plāna projekta gatavošanas, visbeidzot ARF starpsesiju sanāksme par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos projektu apstiprināja, – paredzēts, ka ARF ministri to varētu pieņemt 2012. gada jūlija sanāksmē. ARF starpsesiju sanāksme par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos 2013. gadā atkal notiks Filipīnās un tajā pievērsīsies kodoltehnoloģiju miermīlīgai izmantošanai, un 2014. gadā tā notiks Japānā, kur pievērsīsies atbruņošanās jautājumam.

11.   POLITISKĀ DIALOGA SANĀKSMES

Darba grupu līmenī tika rīkotas politiska dialoga sanāksmes par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos – ar Dienvidāfriku (Vīne, 2012. gada 8. maijs) un Argentīnu (Vīne, 2012. gada 9. maijs). Par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos notika neoficiālas konsultācijas cita starpā ar Indiju (Brisele, 2012. gada 29. marts), Brazīliju, Ēģipti, Krievijas Federāciju, ASV, ANO Atbruņošanas lietu biroju (Vīne, 2012. gada 30. aprīlis) un Japānu (Vīne, 2012. gada 11. maijs).
