Iga kuue kuu tagant koostatav eduaruanne massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia rakendamise kohta (2012/I)

2012/C 237/01

Sissejuhatus

Käesolev eduaruanne hõlmab Euroopa Ülemkogu poolt 2003. aasta detsembris vastu võetud massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise strateegia (dok ST 15708/03) rakendamise raames 2012. aasta esimesel poolel toimunud tegevust, mille puhul on arvesse võetud nõukogu poolt 2008. aasta juunis vastu võetud prioriteetide ajakohastatud nimekirja (dok ST 10747/08) ja 2008. aasta detsembris vastu võetud uusi tegevussuundi (dok ST 17172/08).

Alates Euroopa välisteenistuse loomisest on kõrge esindaja, keda toetab Euroopa välisteenistuse personal, täitnud suurema osa ülesannetest, mida varem täitsid Euroopa Liidu Nõukogu rotatsiooni korras vahetuvad eesistujariigid, ning ta võtab järk-järgult üle ka ülejäänud ülesanded, mida praegu täidavad Euroopa välisteenistuse toetusel rotatsiooni korras vahetuvad eesistujariigid, eelkõige teatud rahvusvahelistel kohtumistel. Kõrge esindaja esindajad juhivad massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise valdkonda käsitlevaid nõukogu töörühmi ning koordineerivad ELi tegevust rahvusvahelistel massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise alastel foorumitel, püüdes tagada Lissaboni lepinguga ette nähtud ELi aktiivse ja nähtava rolli täitmise jätkamise. Mõnel rahvusvahelisel kohtumisel on rotatsiooni korras vahetuvad eesistujariigid ELi koha puudumise tõttu jätkuvalt esitanud avaldusi ELi või ELi ja selle liikmesriikide nimel.

ELi juhtpõhimõte ja üldine eesmärk kõnealuses valdkonnas on endiselt olnud rahvusvaheliste lepingute, konventsioonide ja muude vahendite ülemaailmse kohaldamise ning riigisisese rakendamise edendamine, mis on kooskõlas massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia eesmärkidega. Sellega seoses on EL jätkanud nende eesmärkide poole püüdlemist kõikidel esimesel poolaastal toimunud olulistel üritustel, eelkõige veebruaris toimunud massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist ja desarmeerimist käsitleval konverentsil, märtsis aset leidnud Souli tuumaohutusalasel tippkohtumisel, aprillis–mais toimunud tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee koosolekul ning mitmetel muudel rahvusvahelistel foorumitel, konventsioonide osaliste iga-aastastel kohtumistel, konverentsidel jne.

EL on jätkanud püüdlusi kõikide kättesaadavate õigusaktide ja rahaliste vahendite (ÜVJP eelarve, stabiliseerimisvahend, muud vahendid) tõhusaks ja vastastikku täiendavaks kasutamiseks, et maksimeerida ELi tegevuse mõju rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonide ja kolmandate riikide toetamisel.

EL jätkas tihedat koostööd partnerite ja teiste kolmandate riikidega, misläbi püütakse üleilmselt lähendada seisukohti massihävitusrelvade leviku rahvusvahelise tõkestamise korra vajaduse küsimuses. Jätkuvalt on tehtud jõupingutusi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimustes ELi kahepoolsetes suhetes kõikide asjaomaste riikidega, eelkõige poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste ja mitteametlikumate kontaktide kaudu.

1.   TUUMAKÜSIMUSED

Massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise töörühm (CONOP) valmistas aktiivselt ette 2012. aasta märtsis ja juunis toimunud IAEA juhatajate nõukogu kohtumisi. Töörühm arutas ja valmistas ette ELi panuseid Souli tuumaohutusalaseks tippkohtumiseks, tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee koosolekuks, tuumatarneriikide grupi ja Austraalia grupi jaoks ning teisteks olulisteks tuumavaldkonna kohtumisteks. Töörühm jätkas ELi uute tegevussuundade elluviimist massihävitusrelvade ja nende kandesüsteemide leviku vastases võitluses, pidades arutelusid selles valdkonnas muu hulgas konsulaartegevuse ja teadusliku kontrolli vallas kavandatavate erinevate meetmete üle.

1.1.   Tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsi järelmeetmed

EL osales aktiivselt 30. aprillist kuni 11. maini 2012 Viinis toimunud tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee koosolekul ning andis aru oma tegevuse kohta tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsil vastu võetud tegevuskava rakendamisel, käsitledes ka Lähis-Ida küsimuses kokku lepitut. EL esitas ühe üldise avalduse ja kolm liitavaldust ning kaks töödokumenti (ühe tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsi järelduste ja järelmeetmeid käsitlevate soovituste rakendamise teemal ja teise tuumatehnoloogia rahuotstarbeliste kasutusviiside kohta). EL korraldas ettevalmistuskomitee koosoleku ajal koos IAEAga viimatinimetatud teemat käsitlenud osavõturohke kõrvalürituse. Tuginedes Brüsselis 6.–7. juulil 2011 toimunud ELi eduka seminari tulemustele ja aidates kaasa 13. detsembril 2010. aastal vastu võetud nõukogu otsuse 2010/799/ÜVJP (millega toetatakse usalduse suurendamise protsessi, mille tulemusel luuakse Lähis-Idas tsoon, kus ei ole massihävitusrelvi ega nende kandevahendeid, et toetada massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia rakendamist) rakendamisele, arutati 2012. aasta konverentsi korraldajaga teise sarnase järelalgatuse tegemist. Käimas on töö veel ühe selleteemalise mitteametliku ürituse korraldamiseks ELi poolt järgmisel sügisel.

1.2.   IAEA (Rahvusvaheline Aatomienergiaagentuur)

EL on suurendanud oma toetust Viinis asuvale Rahvusvahelisele Aatomienergiaagentuurile (IAEA). EL on endiselt üks tuumajulgeoleku fondi suurimaid rahastajaid, olles alates 2004. aastast eraldanud toetusena rohkem kui 30 miljonit eurot. Tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas on EL panustanud oma tehnilise oskusteabega IAEA poolt korraldatud koolitustegevusse ja seminaridesse, mis on suunatud kolmandatele riikidele, et suurendada suutlikkust võidelda tuumamaterjalide ning muude radioaktiivsete materjalide salakaubaveo vastu. EL ja IAEA on kõnealuses valdkonnas koordineerinud oma toetust kolmandatele riikidele, muu hulgas piirikontrolli töörühma kaudu. Samuti on EL pidanud IAEAga arutelusid, et tõhustada koostööd teistes IAEA tegevusvaldkondades, parandada ELi panuste nähtavust ning täiendavalt koordineerida tegevust eelkõige tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas, eesmärgiga tagada täiendavus ning vältida ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskuste ja IAEA tegevuste kattumist ning saada kasu nende täiendavusest.

Euroopa Liidul on nõukogu 2008. aasta järelduste kohaselt kohustus eraldada ÜVJP eelarve ja stabiliseerimisvahendi kaudu 25 miljonit eurot IAEA väherikastatud uraani panka. Samuti toetas EL üle 5 miljoni euroga rahvusvahelist projekti, mille eesmärk on laiendada ja ajakohastada Seibersdorfi laboratooriumit. Töö nende toetustegevustega on kestnud mõnda aega. Esimest makset IAEA väherikastatud uraani panka (10 miljonit eurot, eraldati IAEAle stabiilsusvahendi kaudu 8. detsembril 2011) täiendatakse teise 10 miljoni euro suuruse maksega stabiilsusvahendist. Täiendav panus eraldatakse ÜVJP eelarvest, tuginedes nõukogu kavandatavale otsusele, mille heakskiitmine peaks toimuma 2013. aasta alguses. Seibersdorfi laboratooriumi osas täiendatakse esimest makset (4,75 miljonit eurot, mis maksti IAEAle stabiilsusvahendi kaudu 2. detsembril 2011) 2012. aastal lisasumma eraldamisega. EL on Euroopa Komisjoni koostööalase toetusprogrammi kaudu jätkuvalt andnud IAEAle olulist tehnilist toetust tuumaenergiaalaste kaitsemeetmete valdkonnas. EL on kasutanud oma erinevaid vahendeid, et võimaldada tuumaenergia rahuotstarbelise kasutamise ohutut ja turvalist rakendamist kolmandates riikides, muuhulgas IAEA kaudu.

1.3.   Üldine tuumakatsetuste keelustamise leping

EL on aktiivselt edendanud tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu (CTBT) võimalikult kiiret jõustamist asjaomaste nõukogu otsuste alusel, mis käsitlevad Tuumarelvakatsetuste Üldise Keelustamise Lepingu Organisatsiooni (CTBTO) toetamist, ning viies läbi teavitusüritusi, mis olid suunatud neile II lisas loetletud riikidele, kelle poolne ratifitseerimine on vajalik lepingu jõustumiseks. EL ajakohastas oma suuniseid CTBT jõustamise toetamiseks, millele tuginedes jätkatakse CTBT alase teadlikkuse tõstmist erinevates kontekstides, sealhulgas poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste raames, et anda hoogu juurde lepingu ratifitseerimisele.

EL on teinud aktiivselt tööd nõukogu 15. juuli 2008. aasta otsuse 2008/588/ÜVJP ja 26. juuli 2010. aasta otsuse 2010/461/ÜVJP rakendamisel. 30. juunil 2012 viidi lõpule nõukogu otsuse 2008/588/ÜVJP rakendamine. Ettenägematute viivituste tõttu seadmete hankimisel palus CTBTO ajutine tehniline sekretariaat pikendada kahe aasta võrra nõukogu otsuses 2010/461/ÜVJP sätestatud rakendusperioodi, mis pidi esialgu lõppema 16. mail 2012. EL on alustanud tööd CTBTO ajutise tehnilise sekretariaadi töö võimaliku täiendava toetamise nimel (nõukogu uue otsuse eelnõu, millega täiendatakse nõukogu otsust 2010/461/ÜVJP, on massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise töörühma (CONOP) poolt heaks kiidetud ning see peaks nõukogus vastu võetama 2012. aasta jooksul).

1.4.   Desarmeerimiskonverents

EL on pidevalt avaldanud survet, et alustada viivitamatult läbirääkimisi lõhustuvate materjalide tootmise keelustamise lepingu (FMCT) üle. Lisaks sellele teatas EL kõikides oma sõnavõttudes, et ta on valmis tegelema kõigi muude desarmeerimiskonverentsi päevakorras olevate küsimustega, eelkõige tuumadesarmeerimisega, avakosmoses toimuva võidurelvastumise vältimisega ning negatiivsete julgeolekutagatistega. Lisaks sellele on EL intensiivistanud konstruktiivset tööd desarmeerimiskonverentsi laiendamiseks. EL kasutab 2012. aastal jätkuvalt iga võimalust, et edendada rahvusvahelist arutelu FMCT läbirääkimiste varase alustamise teemal ja selleks liidusiseselt ette valmistuda, ning osaleb asjakohastel üritustel, sealhulgas ka massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ja desarmeerimise algatuse raames korraldatutel.

1.5.   Piirkondlikud küsimused (Iraan, Põhja-Korea)

EL on olnud täiel määral pühendunud käimasolevatele jõupingutustele, mille eesmärk on saavutada läbirääkimiste kaudu diplomaatiline lahendus Iraani tuumaprobleemile, tuginedes tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingule ning kõikide asjakohaste ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu ja IAEA juhatajate nõukogu resolutsioonide täieulatuslikule rakendamisele. EL on tungivalt palunud, et Iraan astuks konkreetseid ja praktilisi samme tõestamaks, et Iraani tuumaprogrammi kasutatakse üksnes rahutotstarbelistel eesmärkidel, ning täidaks rahvusvahelise üldsuse tõsisele murele reageerimiseks kõiki oma rahvusvahelisi kohustusi. Iraanil tuleb IAEAga teha täielikku koostööd, et leida vastused lahendamata küsimustele, sealhulgas võimalikele sõjaliste mõõtmetega küsimustele. ELi kõrge esindaja on koos E3 + 3 riikidega jätkanud jõupingutusi eesmärgiga kaasata Iraan aruteludesse esialgsete usaldust suurendavate meetmete teemal, et käsitleda esmatähtsat mureküsimust 20 % rikastustegevuse osas, mida viimati arutati Iraaniga 18.–19. juunil 2012. aastal Moskvas peetud läbirääkimistel. EL avaldas kahetsust, et Iraan ei ole veel lõplikult nõustunud struktureeritud lähenemisviisi dokumendiga, mida arutati 8. juunil 2012 ka IAEAga ning millega sätestataks kord Iraani tuumaprogrammiga seotud lahendamata küsimuste, sealhulgas võimalike sõjaliste mõõtmetega küsimuste lahendamiseks.

Põhja-Korea osas on EL karmilt hukka mõistnud 13. aprillil 2012 teostatud satelliidi orbiidile viimise katse, mis kujutab endast ÜRO julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonide 1698, 1718 ja 1874 selget rikkumist, ning on jätkuvalt ja tungivalt nõudnud, et Põhja-Korea lõpetaks täielikult, kontrollitavalt ja tagasipöördumatult kõik oma käimasolevad tuuma- ja ballistiliste rakettide programmid. EL on jätkuvalt nõudnud, et Põhja-Korea hakkaks taas täiel määral täitma tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingut ja IAEA kaitsemeetmetest tulenevaid kohustusi ning tagaks IAEAle nõuetekohase juurdepääsu isikutele, dokumentidele, seadmetele ja rajatistele. EL on pidevalt toetanud kuuepoolsete kõneluste protsessi jätkamist. Täiendavalt intensiivistati ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonide 1718 ja1874 rakendamist ELi poolt. EL jätkas oma ühepoolsete piiravate meetmete rakendamise tõhustamist. 2012. aasta juunis esitas EL Põhja-Koreale demarši, nõudes, et kõnealune riik ratifitseeriks tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu ning hoiduks igasugustest edasistest provokatiivsetest tegudest, eelkõige uutest tuumakatsetustest.

2.   KEEMIARELVAD

Nõukogu võttis vastu uue nõukogu otsuse Keemiarelvade Keelustamise Organisatsiooni (OPCW) tegevuse toetamiseks. Komisjoni ja OPCW tehnilise sekretariaadi finantsläbirääkimised on hästi edenenud ning nõukogu uue otsuse rakendamine võib peagi alata. Delegatsioonid Haagis tegid tööd selle nimel, et koostada ELi seisukoht, milles käsitletaks organisatsiooni rolli tulevikus, võttes arvesse kõigi järelejäänud keemiarelvade varude hävitamise lõplikku pikendatud tähtaega (29. aprill 2012). Määratleti neli prioriteeti: i) olemasolevate varude hävitamise lõpuleviimine; ii) keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni (CWC) ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamine (kaheksa riiki ei ole veel selle osalised); iii) tähelepanu suunamine massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise alastele jõupingutustele; iv) suutlikkuse suurendamise edendamine seoses ohutuse ja julgeolekuga arengumaade keemiatööstuses, lähtudes artiklist XI, ning reageerimine keemiarelvade kasutamisele, tuginedes artiklile X. Euroopa välisteenistuse ning Haagis viibivate delegatsioonide vaheline kooskõlastamine algas eesmärgiga töötada välja ELi ühine seisukoht OPCW läbivaatamise kolmanda konverentsi (aprill 2013) jaoks.

Samuti jälgis EL hoolikalt olukorda Liibüas, mille puhul oli OPCW ülesanne tagada Liibüa endise keemiarelvade programmi keemiarelvade varude puutumatus.

3.   BIOLOOGILISED RELVAD

Pärast bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni (BTWC) seitsmendat läbivaatamiskonverentsi (Genf, detsember 2011) alustas EL ettevalmistumist istungitevaheliseks protsessiks. ELi rolli arutati töörühmade tasandil ning lepiti kokku, et töötatakse välja ühine seisukoht seitsmenda läbivaatamiskonverentsi otsuste ja soovituste toetamiseks. See hõlmas projekte, mis on seotud järgmiste alaliste päevakorrapunktidega: 1) rahvusvaheline koostöö ja abi; 2) riikide rakendustegevuse tugevdamine; 3) suutlikkuse suurendamine bioohutuse ja bioturvalisuse valdkonnas.

Töörühma tasandil koostati ja kiideti heaks nõukogu uued otsused, millega toetatakse bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni ning Maailma Terviseorganisatsiooni tegevust laboratoorse bioohutuse ja bioturvalisuse valdkonnas, pidades silmas otsuste vastuvõtmist nõukogus juulikuus ja sügisel.

4.   RAKETID

Intensiivistatud on ELi tööd seoses rakettide leviku vastase võitlusega, mis keskendus Haagi tegevusjuhendi (HCoC) toetamisele. Nõukogu 18. detsembri 2008. aasta otsus 2008/974/ÜVJP, mille rakendamine lõppes 1. juulil 2011, võimaldas mitmesugust tegevust, mis hõlmas tegevusjuhendi kolme peamist aspekti: ülemaailmne kohaldamine, rakendamine ning vastavalt sellele tegevusjuhendi tõhustamine ja toimimise parandamine.

Tuginedes eelnevale tegevusele ja CONOPis arutatud ettepanekutele, tegi Euroopa välisteenistus ettepaneku nõukogu järgmise otsuse kohaldamisala laiendamiseks, et jätkata HCoCi toetamist ja võimaldada ELi tegevust rakettide leviku vastase võitluse toetamiseks üldiselt. CONOP kiitis nõukogu otsuse heaks 2012. aasta aprillis. Rakendusasutuseks valiti liikmesriikidega konsulteerides Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS). EL osales aktiivselt 31. mail–1. juunil 2012 Viinis toimunud ballistiliste rakettide leviku tõkestamist käsitleva Haagi tegevusjuhendi teemalisel kohtumisel, kus esitatud ELi avaldus sisaldab selget poliitilist klauslit kolmandate riikide vastavuse kohta; EL teeb ettevalmistusi käesoleva aasta lõpus asetleidva Haagi tegevusjuhendi 10. aastapäeva puhul korraldatavaks ürituseks. Sellega seoses esitati uus nõukogu otsus.

2012. aastal jätkasid EL ja ELi liikmesriigid HCoCi eesistuja Rumeenia tegevuse toetamist, muu hulgas tegevusjuhendile praegu antava positiivse poliitilise toetuse kindlustamiseks ning ülemaailmse teadlikkuse tõstmise parandamiseks. Tegevusjuhendi vastuvõtmisest kümne aasta möödumise tähistamiseks 26.–27. aprillil Bukarestis korraldatud HCoCi seminaril „Kümme aastat rahvusvahelist koostööd” tehti ettekanne 2011. aastal toimunud vaatlusvisiidist Kourousse (Prantsuse Guyana) kui ühest ELi poolt varem rahastatud tegevusest.

5.   KBRT-OHTUDE VÄHENDAMINE

EL on tugevdanud 2009. aastal vastu võetud ELi KBRT-julgeoleku (keemilise, bioloogilise, kiirgus- ja tuumajulgeoleku) tegevuskava rakendamist, lähtudes Euroopa Ühenduse õigusaktide kohastest asjaomastest abiprogrammidest (eelkõige stabiliseerimisvahendist) ning võttes arvesse Euroopa Parlamendi 14. detsembri 2010. aasta resolutsiooni (A7-0349/2010/P7_TA(2010)0467). Sellega seoses alustas EL tööd tuumajulgeoleku koolituskeskuse loomisega Euroopa Komisjoni Teadusuuringute Ühiskeskuses, eraldades selleks esialgse 2,4 miljoni euro suuruse investeeringu.

ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskuste algatus käivitati ELi poolt 2010. aasta mais. Nimetatud tippkeskuste rajamise põhjuseks on mitmete riikide ebapiisav institutsiooniline suutlikkus leevendada selliseid KBRT-ohte nagu kuritegevus (KBRT-materjalide levik, terrorism), looduskatastroofid (seagripp) ja õnnetused (Bhopal, Fukushima). Keskuste eesmärk on töötada välja riikide ja piirkondade tasandil kõiki ohte hõlmav KBRT-poliitika selliste ohtude ette nägemiseks ja neile reageerimiseks. Lühidalt väljendudes on tegemist struktuuriliste meetmetega, millega vähendatakse piirkondade ja ELi julgeoleku ühistest huvidest lähtuvalt riikide haavatavust KBRT-ohtude ees.

Selle eesmärgi saavutamiseks tuleb toetada piirkondlike ekspertvõrgustike loomist õigus-, regulatiiv-, tehnilistes ning kontrolli ja jõustamisega seotud küsimustes seoses KBRT-ohtude vähendamisega.

Rajamisel on viis piirkondlikku keskust (Põhja-Aafrikas, Aafrika atlandirannikul, Lähis-Idas, Kagu-Euroopa, Lõuna-Kaukaasia, Moldova Vabariigi ja Ukraina piirkonnas ning Kagu-Aasias), mis on praegu oma tööd alustamas. Järgmiseks sammuks on piirkondlike sekretariaatide avamine Sahara-taguses Aafrikas, Kesk-Aasias ja Pärsia lahe riikides. Elluviimisel on juba 33 projekti ligi 26 miljoni euro väärtuses, hõlmates rakendamise erinevaid etappe: alates tehtud pakkumiste hindamisest kuni lõppfaasis projektideni.

Tippkeskused aitavad koos ÜVJP eelarve kaudu eraldatud ELi vahenditega (vt punkt 7) kaasa ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 eesmärkide saavutamisele KBRT-materjalide salakaubaveo ja kuritegeliku kasutamise vastase võitluse valdkonnas. Tippkeskused tuginevad nimetatud resolutsiooni rakendamise kohustuslikule laadile ning lähevad sammu võrra kaugemalegi, pakkudes laiaulatuslikku paketti mistahes päritoluga ohtude vastu võitlemiseks.

6.   EKSPERDIRÜHMAD

Lähtudes nõukogu 26. juuli 2010. aasta otsusest 2010/430/ÜVJP, on ELi tööd massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia raames aktiivselt toetanud massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ELi konsortsium, mis alustas tegevust 2011. aasta jaanuaris. Massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamisega tegelevate sõltumatute eksperdirühmade Euroopa võrgustiku esimene koosolek konsultatsioonide pidamiseks (avakoosolek) toimus 23.–24. mail 2011, Lähis-Idas massihävitusrelvavaba tsooni loomise teemat käsitlev ELi seminar leidis aset 6.–7. juulil 2011 ning neile järgnes 3.–4. veebruaril 2012 edukas esimene aastakoosolek teemal „Massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist ja desarmeerimist käsitlev konverents”, millest võttis osa ligi 200 osalejat EList ja kolmandatest riikidest. Järgmine konverents on kavandatud 2014. aastaks. Vahepeal jätkab konsortsium koostöös teiste sama valdkonna eksperdirühmadega massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia rakendamise aspektist oluliste töödokumentide koostamist; kõnealused dokumendid on avalikkusele kättesaadavad konsortsiumi kodulehel <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>.

7.   ÜRO JULGEOLEKUNÕUKOGU RESOLUTSIOON 1540 JA EKSPORDIKONTROLL

EL oli väljendanud oma kauaaegset pühendumist resolutsioonide 1540 ja 1977 jätkuvale rakendamisele, allkirjastades ÜRO Peaassamblee 66. istungjärgul (New York, 19. oktoober 2011) ühisdeklaratsiooni USAga.

Seeläbi suurendas EL kolmandate riikide toetamist, et aidata neil täita ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonist 1540 tulenevaid kohustusi ning parandada ekspordikontrolli protsessis osalevate riigiametnike oskusi, korraldades koos ÜRO desarmeerimisbürooga (UNODA) ja resolutsiooni 1540 komiteega mitmeid piirkondlikke seminare ja tehes kahepoolseid külastusi. ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 toetamiseks on koostatud riikide rakendustegevusele keskenduv uus nõukogu otsus, mida hetkel viimistletakse, eesmärgiga hakata seda koos UNODAga rakendama resolutsiooni 1540 komitee töö toetamiseks. Nimetatud komitee volitusi pikendati 2011. aasta aprillis vastuvõetud resolutsiooniga 1977 kümne aasta võrra.

ELi kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade ekspordikontrolli korda on täiendavalt muudetud 16. novembril 2011 vastuvõetud määrusega 1232/2011 ja 19. aprillil 2012 vastuvõetud määrusega 388/2012.

Samuti käivitas EL laiaulatusliku tehnilise abi programmi ekspordikontrolli valdkonnas, mis on suunatud eelkõige naaberriikidele ning mida hakatakse järk-järgult laiendama Kagu-Aasiasse ja Vahemere piirkonda. Seoses sellega kaasrahastas EL Saksamaal Wiesbadenis 23.–25. aprillil 2012 toimunud rahvusvaheliste, piirkondlike ja allpiirkondlike tööstusühenduste konverentsi ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 teemal ning korraldas koos USAga 13. rahvusvahelise ekspordikontrolli käsitleva konverentsi, mis leidis aset Sloveenias Portorožis 7.–9. mail 2012.

8.   KOSMOS

Võttes aluseks 27. septembri 2010. aasta nõukogu järeldused, mis sisaldasid avakosmosetegevuse tegevusjuhendi kavandi muudetud versiooni, on EL konsulteerinud mitmete riikidega, nii nendega, kes juba tegelevad aktiivselt kosmosetemaatikaga, kui ka nendega, kes seda veel ei tee, et arutada nimetatud ettepanekut ja kokku koguda nende arvamused. Nimetatud konsultatsioonidele tuginedes koostas EL muudetud eelnõu, mis esitati 5. juunil 2012 Viinis toimunud kohtumisel, millest võttis osa 110 osalejat rohkem kui 40 riigist. Sellel kohtumisel käivitati ametlikult mitmepoolne diplomaatiline protsess tegevusjuhendi lõplikuks viimistlemiseks. Esimene mitmepoolne ekspertide kohtumine tegevusjuhendi kavandi arutamiseks leiab aset 2012. aasta oktoobris ning on osalemiseks avatud kõikidele riikidele. Tegevusjuhendi lõpuleviimiseks on vaja rohkem kui ühte ekspertide mitmepoolset kohtumist. Nimetatud kohtumistel valmistatakse ette järgmised diplomaatilised sammud, sealhulgas diplomaatiline konverents, mille käigus avatakse tegevusjuhend allkirjastamiseks.

9.   MASSIHÄVITUSRELVI KÄSITLEVAD KLAUSLID

ELi massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase strateegia kohaselt jätkas EL massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise teema lisamist oma lepingulistesse suhetesse kolmandate riikidega.

Täiendavaid edusamme tehti läbirääkimistel, mida peetakse massihävitusrelvi käsitlevate klauslite lisamise üle asjaomastesse lepingutesse ELi ning kolmandate riikide, eelkõige MERCOSURi, Afganistani, Austraalia, Aserbaidžaani, Kanada, Kasahstani ja Malaisia vahel.

10.   MITMEPOOLSED FOORUMID

—   G8

EL osales aktiivselt massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise eest vastutavate direktorite kohtumistel enne G8 tippkohtumist Camp Davidis ja G8 tippkohtumise massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist käsitleva avalduse ettevalmistamisel ning aitas esitada mitmeid demarše seoses IAEA lisaprotokolliga, tehes koostööd eesistuja USAga.

G8 ülemaailmne partnerlus on selle loomisest 2002. aastal möödunud üheksa aastaga laienenud väljapoole G8 piire ning sellest on saanud koordineerimise ja koostöö platvorm, millega on liitunud veel 15 partnerit. Deauville'i tippkohtumisel 2011. aasta mais leppisid G8 juhid kokku, et jätkatakse bioloogilise ja tuumajulgeoleku tugevdamist ning resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamist. 2012. aastal G8 eesistujaks olev USA arendas seda tegevuskava edasi, eelkõige luues ülemaailmse partnerluse töögrupi raames ülemaailmse partnerluse bioohutuse alatöögrupi. Arutusel olid sellised tähtsad teemad nagu (teiste) piirkondlike organisatsioonide kaasamine ning piirkondliku isevastutuse tugevdamine. G8 ja G8 ülemaailmse partnerluse raames said hoogu juurde ELi tippkeskused, eelkõige täites oma rolli piirkondliku teabe vahetamise hõlbustamisel ning võimalusel rahastajate tegevuse dubleerimise vältimisel.

—   ASEANi piirkondlik foorum

EL jätkas osalemist ASEANi piirkondliku foorumi (ARF) tegevuses. Eelkõige osales EL 8.–9. märtsil 2012 Sydneys toimunud ASEANi piirkondliku foorumi istungitevahelisel kohtumisel, mille teemaks oli massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamine ja desarmeerimine. EL toetas massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist ja desarmeerimist käsitleva töökava kavandi vastuvõtmist ning andis teavet ELi massihävitusrelvadega seotud ekspordikontrollialase abi ja Kagu-Aasiale keskendunud KBRT-alase tippkeskuse kohta. Pärast nelja aastat kestnud tööd töökava kavandiga kiideti nimetatud kavand ASEANi piirkondliku foorumi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist ja desarmeerimist käsitlenud istungitevahelisel kohtumisel lõpuks heaks, pidades silmas selle lõplikku vastuvõtmist ministrite poolt ASEANi piirkondliku foorumi kohtumisel 2012. aasta juulis. ASEANi piirkondliku foorumi järgmine istungitevaheline kohtumine kõnealuses valdkonnas toimub 2013. aastal taas Filipiinidel, kus keskendutakse rahuotstarbelise kasutamise teemale, ning 2014. aastal Jaapanis, kus põhiteemaks on desarmeerimine.

11.   POLIITILISE DIALOOGI KOHTUMISED

Töörühmade tasandil korraldati poliitilise dialoogi kohtumisi massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise teemal Lõuna-Aafrikaga (Viin, 8. mai 2012) ja Argentinaga (Viin, 9. mai 2012). Mitteametlikud konsultatsioonid massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise valdkonnas toimusid muu hulgas Indiaga (Brüssel, 29. märts 2012), Brasiilia, Egiptuse, Venemaa Föderatsiooni, USA ja ÜRO desarmeerimisküsimuste bürooga (Viin, 30. aprill 2012) ning Jaapaniga (Viin, 11. mai 2012).
