Polročná správa o pokroku vo vykonávaní stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia (2012/I)

2012/C 237/01

Úvod

Táto správa o pokroku sa vzťahuje na činnosti, ktoré sa vykonali v prvom polroku 2012 v súvislosti s vykonávaním stratégie proti šíreniu ZHN (dokument 15708/03), ktorú Európska rada prijala v decembri 2003, na základe „aktualizovaného zoznamu priorít“ (dokument 10747/08), ktorý Rada prijala v júni 2008, a „nových smerov činnosti“ (dokument 17172/08), ktoré Rada prijala v decembri 2008.

Od zriadenia Európskej služby pre vonkajšiu činnosť (ESVČ) plní väčšinu úloh, ktoré predtým vykonávalo rotujúce predsedníctvo Rady EÚ, vysoká predstaviteľka s podporou ESVČ, pričom postupne preberá aj ostatné úlohy, ktoré v súčasnosti v rámci podpory ESVČ vykonáva rotujúce predsedníctvo, najmä na niektorých medzinárodných zasadnutiach. Zástupcovia vysokej predstaviteľky predsedajú pracovným skupinám Rady, ktoré sa zaoberajú nešírením zbraní a odzbrojením, pričom zabezpečujú koordináciu EÚ na medzinárodných fórach zameraných na nešírenie zbraní a odzbrojenie, pričom sa v súlade s Lisabonskou zmluvou usilujú zabezpečiť, aby EÚ naďalej zohrávala aktívnu a viditeľnú úlohu. V dôsledku toho, že EÚ nemala na niekoľkých medzinárodných zasadnutiach kreslo, predkladalo rotujúce predsedníctvo aj naďalej vyhlásenia v mene EÚ alebo v mene EÚ a jej členských štátov.

Hlavnou zásadou a celkovým cieľom EÚ v danej oblasti je naďalej presadzovanie všeobecného uplatňovania medzinárodných zmlúv, dohovorov a iných nástrojov a ich vykonávanie na vnútroštátnej úrovni v súlade s cieľmi stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia a Európskej bezpečnostnej stratégie. Tieto ciele príslušne napĺňala na všetkých hlavných podujatiach počas druhého polroka, najmä na konferencii EÚ o nešírení a odzbrojení vo februári, na marcovom samite o jadrovej bezpečnosti v Soule, na zasadnutí prípravného výboru NPT na prelome apríla a mája, ako aj na mnohých ďalších medzinárodných fórach, výročných zasadnutiach zmluvných štátov dohovorov, konferenciách atď.

Naďalej sa usilovala o efektívne a vzájomne sa dopĺňajúce využívanie všetkých dostupných nástrojov a finančných zdrojov (rozpočet SZBP, nástroj stability, iné nástroje) s cieľom maximalizovať vplyv činnosti EÚ v rámci podpory medzinárodných organizácií a tretích krajín.

EÚ pokračovala v úzkej spolupráci s partnermi a ďalšími tretími krajinami v snahe dospieť k celosvetovému zblíženiu názorov na potrebu posilnenia medzinárodného systému nešírenia zbraní. V rámci svojich bilaterálnych vzťahov so všetkými príslušnými krajinami pokračovala aj v riešení otázok nešírenia zbraní, a to najmä prostredníctvom politického dialógu a neformálnejších kontaktov.

1.   JADROVÉ OTÁZKY

Pracovná skupina pre nešírenie (CONOP) aktívne organizovala zasadnutia Rady guvernérov MAAE v marci a júni 2012. Prerokovala a pripravila príspevok EÚ na samit o jadrovej bezpečnosti v Soule a zasadnutia prípravného výboru NPT, Skupiny jadrových dodávateľov a Austrálskej skupiny, ako aj na ďalšie príslušné zasadnutia v jadrovej oblasti. Pokračovala v plnení nových smerov činnosti Európskej únie v boji proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia a ich nosičov rokovaním o rôznych opatreniach, ktoré sa v plánujú v tejto oblasti, okrem iného v súvislosti s konzulárnou ostražitosťou a ostražitosťou vo vedeckej oblasti.

1.1   Nadviazanie na konferenciu o preskúmaní Zmluvy o nešírení jadrových zbraní (NPT) z roku 2010

EÚ sa aktívne zúčastnila na zasadnutí prípravného výboru NPT, ktoré sa konalo 30. apríla až 11. mája 2012 vo Viedni, a vypracovala správu o svojej činnosti v súvislosti s vykonávaním akčného plánu prijatého na konferencii o preskúmaní NPT v roku 2010 vrátane dohôd, ktoré sa dosiahli v súvislosti s Blízkym východom. EÚ predložila jedno všeobecné stanovisko a tri stanoviská zoskupení, ako aj dva pracovné dokumenty (jeden v súvislosti s vykonávaním záverov konferencie o preskúmaní NPT v roku 2010 a plnením odporúčaní týkajúcich sa následných krokov a druhý o mierovom využívaní jadrových technológií). K poslednej téme zorganizovala počas zasadnutia prípravného výboru spolu s MAAE sprievodné podujatie s vysokou návštevnosťou. Na základe výsledkov úspešného seminára EÚ, ktorý sa uskutočnil 6. – 7. júla 2011 v Bruseli a prispel k vykonávaniu rozhodnutia Rady 2010/799/SZBP prijatého 13. decembra 2010 na podporu procesu budovania dôvery, ktorý má viesť k vytvoreniu zóny bez zbraní hromadného ničenia a ich nosičov na Blízkom východe, sa so sprostredkovateľom konferencie v roku 2012 rokovalo o podobnej iniciatíve. EÚ pracuje na organizácii ďalšieho podujatia druhého rangu k tejto téme na budúcu jeseň.

1.2   MAAE

EÚ zintenzívnila podporu Medzinárodnej agentúry pre atómovú energiu (MAAE) so sídlom vo Viedni. EÚ zostáva kľúčovým prispievateľom do fondu pre jadrovú bezpečnosť, pričom od roku 2004 poskytla viac ako 30 miliónov EUR. V oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti EÚ okrem toho prispela svojimi odbornými technickými znalosťami k vzdelávacím aktivitám a seminárom organizovaným MAAE, pričom sa zamerala na zvýšenie schopnosti tretích krajín bojovať proti nezákonnému obchodovaniu s jadrovými a inými rádioaktívnymi materiálmi. EÚ a MAAE koordinovali svoju podporu tretím krajinám v tejto oblasti aj prostredníctvom pracovnej skupiny pre monitorovanie hraníc. Taktiež sa zapojili do rokovaní s IAEA s cieľom zlepšiť spoluprácu v iných oblastiach činnosti MAAE, zvýšiť viditeľnosť príspevkov EÚ a pokračovať v koordinácii činnosti najmä v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti, aby zaistili komplementárnosť a zabránili prekrývaniu činností centier excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN a MAAE a získali prospech z ich komplementárnosti.

Európska únia sa v záveroch Rady zaviazala od roku 2008 prispieť prostredníctvom rozpočtu SZBP a nástroja stability sumou až 25 miliónov EUR do banky slabo obohateného uránu pod záštitou MAAE. Taktiež poskytla viac ako 5 miliónov EUR na medzinárodný projekt zameraný na rozšírenie a modernizáciu laboratória v Seibersdorfe. Na týchto príspevkoch sa stále pracuje. Pokiaľ ide o banku slabo obohateného uránu, prvú splátku pre túto banku pod záštitou MAAE (10 miliónov EUR, vyplatenú MAAE prostredníctvom nástroja stability 8. decembra 2011) doplní druhá splátka vo výške 10 miliónov EUR z nástroja stability. Ďalší príspevok sa poskytne z rozpočtu na SZBP, a to na základe rozhodnutia Rady, ktorého schválenie Radou sa plánuje na začiatok roku 2013. Pokiaľ ide o laboratórium v Seibersdorfe, prvú splátku (4,75 milióna EUR, vyplatenú MAAE prostredníctvom nástroja stability 2. decembra 2011) doplní v roku 2012 ďalší príspevok. EÚ naďalej pokračovala v poskytovaní významnej technickej pomoci MAAE v oblasti bezpečnostných záruk prostredníctvom podporného programu spolupráce Európskej komisie. EÚ využila svoje rôzne nástroje, aby umožnila bezpečnú realizáciu mierového využívania jadrových technológií v tretích krajinách, a to aj prostredníctvom MAAE.

1.3   Zmluva o úplnom zákaze jadrových skúšok (CTBT)

EÚ aktívne presadzovala skoré nadobudnutie platnosti Zmluvy o úplnom zákaze jadrových skúšok (CTBT) na základe príslušných rozhodnutí Rady na podporu Organizácie CTBT a presadzovaním tejto myšlienky v zostávajúcich štátoch prílohy II, keďže ratifikácia z ich strany je podmienkou pre nadobudnutie platnosti zmluvy. EÚ aktualizovala svoje vnútorné smernice, ktorými sa podporuje nadobudnutie platnosti CTBT a na základe ktorých sa bude pokračovať v zvyšovaní povedomia o tejto zmluve v rôznych kontextoch vrátane politického dialógu, aby sa vytvorili ďalšie podnety na jej ratifikáciu.

EÚ dynamicky pracovala na vykonávaní rozhodnutí Rady 2008/588/SZBP z 15. júla 2008 a 2010/461/SZBP z 26. júla 2010. Vykonávanie rozhodnutia Rady 2008/588/SZBP sa ukončilo 30. júna 2012. Vzhľadom na nepredvídané oneskorenie nákupu vybavenia požiadal dočasný technický sekretariát CTBTO o dvojročné predĺženie lehoty vykonávania rozhodnutia Rady 2010/461/SZBP, ktorá mala pôvodne uplynúť 16. mája 2012. EÚ sa začala zaoberať prípadnou ďalšou podporou práce dočasného technického sekretariátu CTBTO (návrh nového rozhodnutia Rady, ktoré malo byť doplnkom k rozhodnutiu Rady 2010/461/SZBP, schválila pracovná skupina CONOP a plánuje sa, že ho Rada prijme ešte v roku 2012).

1.4   Konferencia o odzbrojení

EÚ vytrvalo vyvíjala tlak v záujme okamžitého začiatku rokovaní o zmluve o zákaze výroby štiepneho materiálu (FMCT). Okrem toho EÚ vo všetkých svojich príspevkoch vyhlasovala, že je pripravená angažovať sa aj vo všetkých ostatných otázkach, ktoré sú na programe konferencie o odzbrojení, a to najmä v otázkach jadrového odzbrojenia, zabraňovania pretekom v zbrojení v kozmickom priestore a negatívnych bezpečnostných záruk. Okrem toho EÚ zintenzívnila svoju konštruktívnu prácu na rozšírení konferencie o odzbrojení. EÚ využije v roku 2012 každú príležitosť, aby dosiahla pokrok pri medzinárodných rokovaniach o skorom začiatku rokovaní o Zmluve o zákaze výroby štiepneho materiálu a aby sa naň vnútorne pripravila, pričom sa zúčastní na príslušných podujatiach vrátane tých, ktoré organizuje Iniciatíva pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie (NPDI).

1.5   Regionálne otázky (Irán, KĽDR)

EÚ aj naďalej plne podporuje prebiehajúce snahy o dosiahnutie diplomatického riešenia iránskej jadrovej otázky prostredníctvom rokovaní na základe NPT a úplného vykonávania všetkých príslušných rezolúcií BR OSN a Rady guvernérov MAAE. EÚ nabáda Irán, aby prijal konkrétne a praktické opatrenia zamerané na budovanie dôvery vo výlučne mierovú povahu iránskeho jadrového programu a na dodržiavanie všetkých svojich medzinárodných záväzkov s cieľom riešiť vážne obavy medzinárodného spoločenstva. Irán musí v plnej miere spolupracovať s MAAE na vyriešení ostávajúcich otázok vrátane tých, ktoré sa týkajú možného vojenského rozmeru. Vysoká predstaviteľka EÚ spolu s E3 + 3 pokračovala v úsilí zapojiť Irán do rokovaní o podstate návrhov na úvodné kroky budovania dôvery s cieľom vyriešiť hlavnú obavu týkajúcu sa obohacovania o 20 %, a to naposledy počas ďalšieho kola rokovaní s Iránom 18. a 19. júna 2012 v Moskve. EÚ vyjadrila obavy, že Irán ešte stále formálne nesúhlasil s dokumentom o štruktúrovanom prístupe, o ktorom sa rokovalo aj s MAAE 8. júna 2012 a v ktorom by sa ustanovili možnosti riešenia nedoriešených otázok, ktoré sa týkajú jadrového programu Iránu, a to vrátane tých s možným vojenským rozmerom.

Pokiaľ ide o KĽDR, EÚ ostro odsúdila raketový test vykonaný 13. apríla 2012, ktorý je jasným porušením rezolúcií Bezpečnostnej rady OSN č. 1695, 1718 a 1874, a naďalej dôrazne vyzýva KĽDR, aby úplne, overiteľne a nezvratne zrušila všetky svoje jadrové programy a programy balistických rakiet. EÚ naďalej vyzýva KĽDR, aby si opäť v plnej miere plnila záväzky NPT a MAAE v oblasti kontroly a poskytla MAAE požadovaný prístup k osobám, dokumentácii, vybaveniu a zariadeniam. EÚ nepretržite podporuje obnovenie šesťstranných rozhovorov. Ďalej sa posilnilo vykonávanie rezolúcií BR OSN č. 1718 a 1874 zo strany EÚ. Únia pokračuje v zlepšovaní vykonávania vlastných autonómnych reštriktívnych opatrení. V júni 2012 zaslala KĽDR demarš, v ktorom ju nabáda, aby ratifikovala CTBT a vzdala sa všetkých provokačných akcií, a to najmä ďalších jadrových skúšok.

2.   CHEMICKÉ ZBRANE

Rada prijala nové rozhodnutie Rady na podporu činností OPCW. Komisia a technický sekretariát OPCW úspešne napredujú vo finančných rokovaniach a vykonávanie nového rozhodnutia Rady by sa malo čoskoro začať. Delegácie pracovali v Haagu na pozícii EÚ k budúcej úlohe organizácie, pričom zohľadnili predĺžený konečný termín na likvidáciu všetkých zostávajúcich zásob chemických zbraní (29. apríl 2012). Stanovili sa štyri priority: (i) dokončenie likvidácie existujúcich zásob; (ii) presadzovanie všeobecného uplatňovania Dohovoru o chemických zbraniach (CWC) (osem štátov ešte nie je zmluvnou stranou); (iii) zameranie úsilia na zastavenie šírenia; (iv) podpora budovania kapacít z hľadiska bezpečnosti a bezpečnostnej ochrany v chemickom priemysle v rozvojových krajinách v súlade s článkom XI a reakcia na používanie chemických zbraní podľa článku X. So zámerom vypracovať spoločnú pozíciu EÚ na 3. konferenciu o preskúmaní OPCW (apríl 2013) sa začala koordinácia medzi ESVČ a delegáciami v Haagu.

EÚ pozorne sledovala aj situáciu v Líbyi, kde mala OPCW zabezpečovať nedotknuteľnosť zásob chemických zbraní z pôvodného líbyjského programu chemických zbraní.

3.   BIOLOGICKÉ ZBRANE

Po 7. konferencii o preskúmaní Dohovoru o biologických a toxínových zbraniach (BTWC) (v decembri 2011 v Ženeve) začala EÚ prípravy na proces medzi zasadnutiami. Jej úloha sa prerokovala na úrovni pracovnej skupiny a dohodlo sa, že sa pripraví spoločná pozícia na podporu rozhodnutí a odporúčaní siedmej konferencie o preskúmaní. Išlo o projekty týkajúce sa týchto bodov stáleho programu: (1) medzinárodná spolupráca a pomoc; (2) posilnenie vykonávania na vnútroštátnej úrovni; (3) budovanie kapacít v oblasti biologickej ochrany a biologickej bezpečnosti.

Na úrovni pracovnej skupiny sa navrhli a schválili nové rozhodnutia Rady na podporu BTWC a činností WHO v oblasti biologickej ochrany a biologickej bezpečnosti, aby ich mohla Rada prijať na zasadnutiach v júli a na jeseň.

4.   RAKETOVÉ STRELY

Práca EÚ v súvislosti s nešírením raketových striel sa zamerala na podporu Haagskeho kódexu (HCoC) a došlo k jej zintenzívneniu. Rozhodnutie Rady 2008/974/SZBP z 18. decembra 2008, ktorého vykonávanie sa ukončilo 1. júla 2011, umožnilo celý rad činností, ktoré sa vzťahovali na tri hlavné aspekty kódexu: univerzálnosť, vykonávanie a vylepšenie kódexu a jeho lepšie fungovanie.

ESVČ na základe minulých aktivít a návrhov prerokovaných v pracovnej skupine pre nešírenie navrhla rozšíriť rozsah pôsobnosti ďalšieho rozhodnutia Rady, aby sa pokračovalo v podpore HCoC a umožnili aktivity EÚ na podporu nešírenia raketových striel vo všeobecnosti. Pracovná skupina CONOP uvedené rozhodnutie schválila v apríli 2012. Ako vykonávacia agentúra sa po konzultáciách s členskými štátmi zvolila Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS). EÚ sa aktívne zúčastnila na výročnom zasadnutí Haagskeho kódexu proti šíreniu balistických rakiet, ktorý sa konal 31. mája až 1. júna 2012 vo Viedni, pričom jej vyhlásenie na tomto zasadnutí obsahovalo zásadnú politickú doložku o pridružení tretích krajín, a taktiež koncom tohto roka pripraví oslavy 10. výročia Haagskeho kódexu. Pri tejto príležitosti sa predložilo nové rozhodnutie Rady.

EÚ a jej členské štáty pokračovali v roku 2012 v podpore činností rumunského predsedníctva HCoC, a to okrem iného na upevnenie súčasného pozitívneho politického vývoja kódexu a na výraznejšie zvýšenie globálneho povedomia o ňom. Počas seminára HCoC s názvom „Desať rokov medzinárodnej spolupráce“, ktorý sa konal 26. a 27. apríla v Bukurešti ako príspevok k desiatemu výročiu vydania kódexu, sa prezentovala pozorovateľská návšteva v Kourou (Francúzska Guyana) v roku 2011, aktivita pôvodne financovaná z prostriedkov EÚ.

5.   ZMIERŇOVANIE RIZÍK CBRN

EÚ posilnila vykonávanie akčného plánu EÚ pre oblasť CBRN (chemickú, biologickú, rádiologickú a jadrovú oblasť) prijatého v roku 2009 na základe príslušných programov pomoci v rámci nástrojov Európskeho spoločenstva (najmä nástroja stability) a na základe uznesenia Európskeho parlamentu zo 14. decembra 2010 (A7-0349/2010/P7_TA(2010)0467). V tomto kontexte začala EÚ pracovať na vytvorení vzdelávacieho strediska v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti v spoločnom výskumnom centre Európskej komisie, pričom výška počiatočných investícií bola 2,4 milióna EUR.

V máji 2010 spustila EÚ iniciatívu „centrá excelentnosti (CoE) EÚ v oblasti CBRN“. Centrá excelentnosti (CoE) EÚ v oblasti CBRN sa zriaďujú ako reakcia na zistenie nedostatočnej inštitucionálnej kapacity niekoľkých krajín zmierniť riziko v oblasti CBRN, a to: riziko zločineckých aktivít (šírenie materiálov CBRN alebo terorizmus) a prírodných katastrof (prasacia chrípka) a nehôd (Bhópál alebo Fukušima). Ich cieľom je vypracovať na národnej a regionálnej úrovni politiku CBRN pre všetky hrozby, aby sa tieto riziká dali predpokladať a mohlo sa na ne reagovať. Toto sú v krátkosti štrukturálne opatrenia na zníženie zraniteľnosti krajín vzhľadom na udalosti súvisiace s CBRN vo vzájomnom záujme regiónov a bezpečnosti EÚ.

Spôsobom na dosiahnutie daného cieľa je vytvorenie regionálnych sietí odborných znalostí v právnych, regulačných, technických a kontrolných otázkach, ako aj v otázkach presadzovania pravidiel týkajúcich sa znižovania rizík v oblasti CBRN.

Zriadilo sa päť regionálnych centier (severná Afrika, atlantické pobrežie Afriky, Blízky východ, juhovýchodná Európa – Zakaukazsko – Moldavská republika – Ukrajina a juhovýchodná Ázia), ktoré začínajú svoju činnosť. Ďalším krokom bude otvorenie regionálnych sekretariátov v subsaharskej Afrike, Strednej Ázii a v krajinách Perzského zálivu. Na rôznej úrovni vykonávania sa už realizuje tridsaťtri projektov v hodnote skoro 26 miliónov EUR: sú nimi buď platné ponuky, ktoré sa hodnotia, alebo projekty vo fáze definovania.

Centrá excelentnosti prispievajú spolu s prostriedkami EÚ poskytovanými prostredníctvom rozpočtu SZBP (pozri bod 7) k cieľom rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540 o boji proti nezákonnému obchodovaniu s materiálmi CBRN alebo ich používaniu na páchanie trestnej činnosti. Centrá excelentnosti vychádzajú z povinného charakteru rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540 a idú ešte o krok ďalej tým, že ponúkajú komplexný balík na boj proti rizikám bez ohľadu na ich pôvod.

6.   ODBORNÉ ZOSKUPENIA

Na základe rozhodnutia Rady 2010/430/SZBP z 26. júla 2010 aktívne podporovalo činnosť EÚ v rámci stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia konzorcium EÚ pre otázky nešírenia, ktoré začalo svoju činnosť v januári 2011. Po prvom konzultačnom zasadnutí európskej siete nezávislých odborných zoskupení zaoberajúcich sa otázkou nešírenia (23. – 24. mája 2011) a seminári EÚ na podporu zóny bez ZHN na Blízkom východe (6. – 7. júla 2011), sa 3. a 4. februára 2012 úspešne konala prvá výročná schôdza s názvom „Konferencia EÚ o nešírení a odzbrojení“, na ktorej sa zúčastnilo skoro 200 účastníkov z EÚ a tretích krajín. Ďalšia konferencia sa plánuje na rok 2014. Medzitým konzorcium pokračuje v spolupráci s inými európskymi odbornými zoskupeniami v danej oblasti pri príprave pracovných dokumentov týkajúcich sa vykonávania stratégie proti šíreniu ZHN, ktoré sú verejne prístupné na jeho stránke <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>.

7.   REZOLÚCIA BEZPEČNOSTNEJ RADY ORGANIZÁCIE SPOJENÝCH NÁRODOV Č. 1540 A KONTROLA VÝVOZU

EÚ vyjadrila podpísaním spoločného vyhlásenia s USA popri 66. zasadnutí Valného zhromaždenia OSN (19. októbra 2011 v New Yorku) svoj dlhodobý záväzok naďalej vykonávať rezolúcie č. 1540 a č. 1977.

EÚ preto prudko zvýšila svoju podporu tretím krajinám s cieľom pomôcť im pri plnení záväzkov, ktoré im vyplývajú z rezolúcie Bezpečnostnej rady OSN č. 1540, a pri zvyšovaní zručností štátnych úradníkov zapojených do procesu kontroly vývozu, a to tak, že spoločne s Úradom OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia (UNODA) a výborom rezolúcie č. 1540 zorganizovala niekoľko regionálnych seminárov a uskutočnila bilaterálne návštevy. Vypracovalo sa nové rozhodnutie Rady na podporu rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540, ktoré sa zameriava na úsilie o vykonávanie na vnútroštátnej úrovni a je v súčasnosti v procese finalizácie, pričom sa má vykonávať spoločne s úradom UNODA v rámci podpory práce výboru rezolúcie č. 1540, ktorého mandát sa predĺžil na 10 rokov prostredníctvom rezolúcie č. 1977 prijatej v apríli 2011.

Režim EÚ na kontrolu exportu položiek s dvojakým použitím sa ďalej zmenil a doplnil nariadením č. 1232/2011, ktoré sa prijalo 16. novembra 2011, a nariadením č. 388/2012, prijatým 19. apríla 2012.

EÚ taktiež spustila rozsiahly program technickej pomoci týkajúci sa kontroly exportu a zameraný predovšetkým na susedné krajiny, ktorý sa postupne rozšíri na juhovýchodnú Áziu a Stredomorie. V tejto súvislosti bola EÚ jedným zo sponzorov „Konferencie medzinárodných, regionálnych a subregionálnych priemyselných združení o rezolúcii Bezpečnostnej Rady OSN č. 1540 (2004)“, ktorá sa konala 23. až 25. apríla v nemeckom Wiesbadene, a spoločne s USA zorganizovala 13. medzinárodnú konferenciu o kontrole exportu od 7. do 9. mája 2012 v slovinskom meste Portorož.

8.   KOZMICKÝ PRIESTOR

EÚ na základe záverov Rady z 27. septembra 2010, ktoré obsahujú revidovanú verziu návrhu kódexu pre činnosti v kozmickom priestore, konzultovala s viacerými krajinami, či už aktívnymi v oblasti otázok týkajúcich sa kozmického priestoru alebo doposiaľ neaktívnymi, s cieľom prerokovať tento návrh a zhromaždiť ich názory. Na základe týchto konzultácií EÚ pripravila revidovaný návrh, ktorý predložila 5. júna vo Viedni na stretnutí, na ktorom sa zúčastnilo 110 účastníkov z viac ako 40 krajín. Toto stretnutie bolo príležitosťou na oficiálne začatie mnohostranného diplomatického procesu finalizácie kódexu. Prvé multilaterálne stretnutie expertov s cieľom prerokovať návrh kódexu sa uskutoční v októbri 2012 a budú sa na ňom môcť zúčastniť všetky štáty. Na finalizáciu kódexu bude potrebné viac než jedno multilaterálne stretnutie expertov. Tieto stretnutia poslúžia na prípravu následných diplomatických krokov vrátane ad-hoc konferencie, na ktorej sa kódex otvorí na podpis.

9.   DOLOŽKY O ZHN

EÚ v súlade so svojou stratégiou proti šíreniu ZHN pokračovala v presadzovaní nešírenia ZHN vo svojich zmluvných vzťahoch s tretími krajinami.

Opäť sa pokročilo v rokovaniach o doložkách o ZHN v príslušných dohodách medzi EÚ a tretími krajinami, najmä s MERCOSUR-om, Afganistanom, Austráliou, Azerbajdžanom, Kanadou, Kazachstanom a Malajziou.

10.   MULTILATERÁLNE FÓRA

—   G8

EÚ zohrávala aktívnu úlohu na niekoľkých stretnutiach riaditeľov pre oblasť nešírenia a odzbrojenia pri prípravách samitu G8 v Camp David a prípravách vyhlásenia samitu G8 o nešírení, pričom v spolupráci s americkým predsedníctvom pomáhala pri realizácii niekoľkých demaršov k dodatkovému protokolu MAAE.

Globálne partnerstvo (GP) sa deväť rokov po svojom vzniku v roku 2002 rozšírilo aj na krajiny mimo G8 a stalo sa platformou pre koordináciu a spoluprácu; v súčasnosti má 15 ďalších partnerov. Na samite v Deauville v máji 2011 sa vedúci predstavitelia dohodli na ďalšom posilňovaní biologickej bezpečnosti, uplatňovania rezolúcie č. 1540 a jadrovej bezpečnosti. USA, ktoré je v roku 2012 predsedajúcou krajinou G8, v tomto programe napredovalo, a to predovšetkým vytvorením pracovnej podskupiny GP pre biologickú bezpečnosť v rámci pracovnej skupiny GP. Dôležitými otázkami v rámci rokovaní bolo zapojenie (ďalších) regionálnych organizácií a posilnenie regionálnej zodpovednosti. Centrá excelentnosti EÚ získali v rámci G8 a jej GP hybný impulz, a to najmä ako nástroj na uľahčenie výmeny informácií na regionálnej úrovni a prípadne na zabránenie zdvojovania úsilia medzi darcami.

—   Regionálne fórum ASEAN-u

EÚ pokračovala v účasti na činnostiach regionálneho fóra ASEAN-u (ARF). Konkrétne sa zúčastnila na medzizasadnutí regionálneho fóra ASEAN-u pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie, ktoré sa konalo 8. a 9. marca 2012 v Sydney. EÚ vyjadrila podporu prijatiu návrhu pracovného plánu pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie a informovala o pomoci EÚ týkajúcej sa kontroly exportu v súvislosti so ZHN a o iniciatíve zameranej na centrá excelentnosti v oblasti CBRN s dôrazom na juhovýchodnú Áziu. Po štyroch rokoch práce na návrhu pracovného plánu sa na medzizasadnutí ARF pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie návrh konečne prijal so zámerom jeho finálneho prijatia ministrami na zasadnutí ARF v júli 2012. Medzizasadnutie ARF pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie sa v roku 2013 uskutoční na Filipínach, kde sa zameria na mierové využitie zbraní, a v roku 2014 v Japonsku, kde sa bude sústrediť na odzbrojenie.

11.   ZASADNUTIA V RÁMCI POLITICKÉHO DIALÓGU

Zasadnutia v rámci politického dialógu o nešírení a odzbrojení na úrovni pracovnej skupiny sa zorganizovali s Južnou Afrikou (8. mája 2012 vo Viedni) a Argentínou (9. mája 2012 vo Viedni). Neformálne konzultácie o nešírení a odzbrojení sa viedli okrem iného s Indiou (29. marca 2012 v Bruseli), Brazíliou, Egyptom, Ruskou federáciou, USA, Úradom OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia (30. apríla 2012 vo Viedni) a s Japonskom (11. mája 2012 vo Viedni).
