SEŠU MĒNEŠU PROGRESA ZIŅOJUMS PAR TO, KĀ TIEK ĪSTENOTA ES STRATĒĢIJA MASU IZNĪCINĀŠANAS IEROČU IZPLATĪŠANAS NOVĒRŠANAI (2014/II)

(2015/C 041/01)

IEVADS

Saskaņā ar Eiropadomes 2003. gada decembrī pieņemto ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (dok. 15708/03) ir paredzēts, ka ik pēc sešiem mēnešiem tiek sniegts progresa ziņojums par stratēģijas īstenošanu. Šis progresa ziņojums aptver darbības, kas veiktas 2014. gada otrajā pusē.

Saskaņā ar Eiropas Drošības stratēģijas, ES MII neizplatīšanas stratēģijas un Jauno Eiropas Savienības darbības līniju (dok. 17172/08) mērķiem ES pamatprincipi šajā jomā joprojām ir:

| i) | ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panāktas patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšana un to īstenošana valstu līmenī; |
| --- | --- |

i)

ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panāktas patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšana un to īstenošana valstu līmenī;

| ii) | cieša sadarbība ar partnervalstīm un citām trešām valstīm ar mērķi panākt vispārēju viedokļu sakritību jautājumā par to, ka ir jāstiprina starptautiskais ieroču neizplatīšanas režīms. Ir turpinājušies centieni ieroču neizplatīšanas jautājumiem pievērsties divpusējās ES attiecībās ar visām attiecīgajām valstīm, jo īpaši izmantojot politiska dialoga sanāksmes un plašāku neoficiālu saziņu; |

visu pieejamo instrumentu un finanšu resursu – KĀDP budžeta, Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta (IcSP), citu instrumentu – efektīvs un savstarpēji papildinošs izmantojums, lai maksimāli palielinātu uz ES ārpolitikas mērķu izpildi vērsto darbību iedarbīgumu.

Tādēļ darbs tiek rūpīgi saskaņots ar plašāka mēroga drošības politiku un ES veiktajām konfliktu novēršanas darbībām.

2014. gada otrajā pusgadā EĀDD galvenais padomdevējs un īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos Eiropas Savienību pārstāvēja vairākās būtiskās starptautiskās sanāksmēs (proti, ANO Ģenerālās Asamblejas (ĢA) Pirmās komitejas sanāksmē oktobrī, G7 valstu direktoru grupas sanāksmē ieroču neizplatīšanas jautājumos Berlīnē novembrī un ar vairākām trešām valstīm rīkotās konsultācijās par neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumiem).

2014. gada otrajā pusgadā īpašais sūtnis uzmanību galvenokārt pievērsa šādām darbībām:

| — | pastiprināt centienus, lai uzturētu spēkā Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumu (KNL) saistībā ar gatavošanos 2015. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencei. Tā joprojām ir viena no svarīgākajām ES prioritātēm, ņemot vērā arī tās tiešo saistību ar būtiskākajām reģionālajām ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanas problēmām Irānā un Korejas Tautas Demokrātiskajā Republikā (KTDR). ES turpināja atbalstīt procesu, kura mērķis ir Tuvajos Austrumos izveidot no MII brīvu zonu. Īpašais sūtnis regulāri sazinājās ar Somijas koordinatoru vēstnieku Laajava saistībā ar Helsinku konferences rīkošanu, |

1.   KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

ES Padomes MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa (CONOP) ciešā sadarbībā ar attiecīgajām ES delegācijām aktīvi palīdzēja sagatavot ES nostājas Starptautiskās Atomenerģijas aģentūras (SAEA) Valdes sanāksmēm, kas notika septembrī un novembrī, kā arī SAEA vispārējai konferencei, kas notika septembrī. Laikā, kad tika sagatavoti ES paziņojumi ANO ĢA Pirmajai komitejai, CONOP sniedza stratēģiskas norādes par kodoljautājumiem. Attiecīgās ES delegācijas koordinēja darbu, kura mērķis bija sagatavot ES ieguldījumu citās starptautiskās sanāksmēs, piemēram, Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizācijas (CTBTO) sagatavošanas komisijas sanāksmē un neoficiālajās Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) ministru sanāksmēs, ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas speciālajā sesijā, kas bija veltīta tam, lai atzīmētu Starptautisko dienu pret kodolizmēģinājumiem, raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma (MTCR) un citās attiecīgās sanāksmēs savu pilnvaru ietvaros.

1.1.   Gatavošanās 2015. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencei

Gatavojoties 2015. gadā paredzētajai pārskatīšanas konferencei, darbu ir turpinājušas trīs neoficiālās darba apakšgrupas, kuras sagatavo ES ieguldījumu KNL 2015. gada pārskatīšanas ciklā; šīs apakšgrupas vada ES dalībvalstis, un tajās piedalās EĀDD. Tās palīdzēja sagatavot Padomes lēmumu, kurā tiks ietvertas ES nostājas pārskatīšanas konferencē; lēmumu dalībvalstis sāka apspriest Ženēvā un Vīnē. Šis Padomes lēmums, kuru plānots pieņemt 2015. gada sākumā, būs pamats paziņojumiem un darba dokumentiem, ar kuriem ES nāks klajā šajā konferencē. 11. decembrī kopīgā ES Padomes darba grupu (ieroču neizplatīšana un atbruņošanās) direktoru līmeņa sanāksmē ar 2015. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferences priekšsēdētāja amata kandidātu notika viedokļu apmaiņu par to, kādā veidā ES vislietderīgāk varētu sniegt savu ieguldījumu konferencē. Tika apspriesta 2010. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencē saskaņotā rīcības plāna īstenošana, kā arī 2015. gada konferences perspektīvas.

1.2.   Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra (SAEA)

ES ir turpinājusi palielināt atbalstu Starptautiskajai atomenerģijas aģentūrai Vīnē. ES joprojām ir viena no galvenajām līdzekļu devējām Kodoldrošības fondam; kopš 2004. gada ES tam ir nodrošinājusi gandrīz EUR 40 miljonus (ieskaitot jaunāko apņemšanos aģentūrai nodrošināt EUR 8,05 miljonus, kā pamatā ir Padomes Lēmums 2013/517/KĀDP (2013. gada 21. oktobris), kas patlaban tiek īstenots). Turklāt saistībā ar kodoldrošību ES ir nodrošinājusi tehniskās zināšanas SAEA un konkrētu trešo valstu rīkotās mācībās un darbsemināros, lai uzlabotu spējas apkarot kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu nelikumīgu tirdzniecību. ES un SAEA turpināja koordinēt savu palīdzību trešām valstīm šajā jomā. Ir sākusies gatavošanās trešajai ES un SAEA augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu ikgadējai sanāksmei, kurā būs pārstāvētas EĀDD, Eiropas Komisijas/Euratom un SAEA augstākā līmeņa amatpersonas un kura notiks 2015. gada 4. un 5. februārī Eiropas Komisijas ēkā Luksemburgā. Augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmju mērķis ir uzlabot sadarbību visās SAEA darbības jomās, palielināt ES ieguldījumu pamanāmību un vēl vairāk koordinēt ES rīcību, lai nodrošinātu savstarpēju papildināmību un izvairītos no to darbību pārklāšanās, kuras kodoldrošības jomā veic ES CBRN (ķīmiskā, bioloģiskā, radioloģiskā un kodolapdraudējuma) izcilības centri un SAEA (šajā nolūkā ES/Kopīgais pētniecības centrs un SAEA ir arī vienojušies par praktisku kārtību, saskaņā ar kuru tiek organizēta to sadarbība).

Kopš 2008. gada ES ar Padomes secinājumu starpniecību ir apņēmusies SAEA mazbagātināta urāna (Low Enriched Uranium – LEU) bankai nodrošināt līdz EUR 25 miljoniem. Šīs bankas atbalstam ES no Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta ir pārskaitījusi EUR 20 miljonus. Turpmāku ieguldījumu līdz EUR 5 miljonu apmērā plānots sniegt no KĀDP budžeta, balstoties uz Padomes lēmumu. Padomes apstiprinājums ir atkarīgs no tā, kāda būs virzība dažādu nolīgumu – tostarp uzņēmējvalsts nolīguma starp SAEA un Kazahstānu – pabeigšanas procesā.

Kodolmateriālu drošības mehānismu jomā Eiropas Komisijas Kodolmateriālu drošības direktorāts turpina drošības mehānismus piemērot visiem kodolmateriāliem, kas paredzēti nemilitāriem mērķiem, visās 28 ES dalībvalstīs, tam ik gadu paredzot budžetu aptuveni EUR 20 miljonu apmērā. Drošības mehānismu kontroles darbības tiek koordinētas ciešā sadarbībā ar SAEA.

SAEA un Komisija nepārtraukti uzlabo savu sadarbību šajā jomā, lai optimizētu cilvēkresursu un finanšu resursu izmantošanu, vienlaikus attiecībā uz drošības pasākumiem saglabājot pēc iespējas lielu efektivitāti. Ar Eiropas Komisijas drošības pasākumu atbalsta programmas starpniecību ES arī ir turpinājusi sniegt ievērojamu tehnisku atbalstu SAEA kodolmateriālu drošības pasākumu jomā.

Lai gan ES jau ir nodrošinājusi EUR 10 miljonus, lai atbalstītu starptautisku projektu, kura mērķis ir paplašināt un modernizēt Zaibersdorfas (Seibersdorf) drošības mehānismu laboratoriju Austrijā (jau ir pārskaitīti EUR 9,5 miljoni), SAEA ir vērsusies pie starptautiskiem līdzekļu devējiem, tostarp pie ES, ar lūgumu dot ieguldījumu arī Zaibersdorfas kodolierīču laboratorijas modernizācijā.

Ekspertu līmenī Eiropas Komisija sadarbībā ar SAEA ir uzsākusi procesu, lai, reaģējot uz datubāzes lietotāju vajadzībām, izvērtētu un atbalstītu SAEA uzturētās nelikumīgās tirdzniecības datubāzes (Illicit Trafficking Database – ITDB) uzlabojumus. Ir izstrādāts un SAEA tiks iesniegts paraugprakses dokuments par saskaņotu paziņošanas kultūru. Lai modernizētu paziņošanas līdzekļus, 2013. gada oktobrī sāka izstrādāt tīmekļa negadījumu paziņošanas veidlapu (web-INF – Incident Notification Form), un šis darbs tiks pabeigts tuvākajā laikā.

Līdzekļi, ko Eiropas Savienības saskaņā ar I –IV vienoto rīcību un Padomes Lēmumu V ir nodrošinājusi SAEA, ir palīdzējuši attīstīt SAEA centienus stiprināt kodoldrošību trešās valstīs, prioritāti piešķirot tām valstīm, kurām ir visvairāk jāuzlabo sava radioaktīvo materiālu un kodolmateriālu kontrole, tādējādi palīdzot samazināt apdraudējumu. Centieni bija vērsti uz to, lai stiprinātu valstu tiesisko un reglamentējošo infrastruktūru, kas ir saistīta ar kodolmateriāliem un citiem radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, lai stiprinātu kodoldrošības pasākumus, kurus piemēro izmantošanā esošajiem kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, to uzglabāšanai un transportam un ar tiem saistītajām iekārtām, un lai stiprinātu valstu spējas rīkoties attiecībā uz kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, kas nav valstu regulatīvajā kontrolē, tādējādi atbalstītajām valstīm dodot iespēju izpildīt savus valsts un starptautiskos pienākumus. Jaunākais Padomes Lēmums (SAEA VI, 2013/517/KĀDP), kas pieņemts 2013. gada 21. oktobrī, palīdz vēl vairāk uzlabot kodoldrošību visā pasaulē un nostiprināt Eiropas drošību, piedāvājot atbalstu SAEA darbībām, kas tiek veiktas saistībā ar Kodoldrošības plānu (2014.–2017.), galvenokārt iepriekš minētajās jomās.

1.3.   Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT)

ES ir aktīvi veicinājusi Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) drīzu stāšanos spēkā, balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2012/699/KĀDP (2012. gada 13. novembris), ar kuru tiek atbalstīta Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizācija (CTBTO), un šādā nolūkā rīkojot izpratnes veicināšanas centienus, kas vērsti uz visām valstīm, kuras vēl nav parakstījušas vai ratificējušas CTBT, tostarp atlikušajām 2. pielikumā minētajām valstīm, kurām līgums ir jāratificē, lai tas varētu stāties spēkā. ES turpina uzlabot informētību par CTBT dažādās situācijās, tostarp politiskā dialoga sanāksmēs, lai radītu turpmāku impulsu minētā līguma ratificēšanai.

Ņemot to vērā, īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos piedalījās ASEAN Reģionālā foruma starpsesiju sanāksmē par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos; sanāksme notika Tokijā 8. un 9. jūlijā, un īpašais sūtnis tajā teica uzrunu, uzsverot gan politisko, gan finansiālo atbalstu, ko ES sniedz, lai panāktu CTBT universalizāciju un faktisku piemērošanu.

Septītajā ministru sanāksmē CTBT atbalstam, kura 26. septembrī notika Ņujorkā, ar ES paziņojumu uzstājās tobrīd Augstā pārstāvja/Komisijas priekšsēdētāja vietnieka amata kandidāte Federica Mogherini.

ES delegācijas Vīnē vadītājs piedalījās augsta līmeņa vizītē, kuras mērķis bija novērot to, kā norit ar pārbaudi uz vietas saistītais integrētais lauka izmēģinājums (IFE14), kas notika Jordānijā no 14. līdz 17. novembrim.

KTDR 2013. gada 12. februārī veiktais kodolizmēģinājums un iespējamu turpmāku izmēģinājumu risks ir skaidri pierādījuši, cik patiesībā svarīga ir CTBTO Starptautiskā uzraudzības sistēma, kas patlaban tiek izstrādāta un ko ES ir atbalstījusi ar Padomes lēmumiem. Ir mobilizētas CTBTO grupas, lai visām CTBT parakstījušajām valstīm sniegtu attiecīgos operatīvos datus, kas vajadzīgi lēmumu pieņēmēju informēšanai. Centieni saistībā ar 321 papildu seismiskās stacijas uzturēšanu, ko atbalsta ar vienotajām rīcībām/Padomes lēmumiem I–V, un CTBTO Starptautiskā datu centra izveide (kurš vāc, analizē un izplata datus, kas nāk no staciju tīkla) sekmēs nepieciešamo sistēmas ilgtspēju. Turklāt ir ārkārtīgi svarīgi sniegt atbalstu CTBTO pagaidu tehniskajam sekretariātam tādu turpmāku pasākumu veikšanā kā tas, kas tika rīkots Jordānijā, lai testētu un uzlabotu režīma, saskaņā ar kuru tiek veiktas pārbaudes uz vietas, operatīvās spējas.

1.4.   Reģionāli jautājumi (Irāna, KTDR)

ES ir pilnībā ievērojusi savu apņemšanos saistībā ar pašreizējiem centieniem, kuru mērķis ir sarunu ceļā panākt Irānas kodoljautājuma diplomātisku risinājumu, balstoties uz KNL un visu atbilstīgo ANO Drošības padomes (ANO DP) un SAEA Valdes rezolūciju pilnīgu īstenošanu. Pagaidu nolīgums, tā dēvētais kopīgais rīcības plāns, par kuru E3/ES+3 un Irāna panāca vienošanos 2013. gada novembrī Ženēvā, stājās spēkā 2014. gada 20. janvārī saskaņā ar Ārlietu padomes lēmumu. Pēc tam, kad bija sākta kopīgā rīcības plāna īstenošana, ES Augstā pārstāve kopā ar E3+3 valstu (Ķīna, Francija, Vācija, Krievija, Apvienotā Karaliste un Amerikas Savienotās Valstis) politiskajiem direktoriem sāka sarunas ar Irānu ar mērķi rast ilgtermiņa visaptverošu risinājumu Irānas kodoljautājumam, kā tas ir paredzēts kopīgajā rīcības plānā. Novembra E3/ES+3 valstu sarunu kārtā, kas notika Vīnē, visas puses vienojās pagarināt saskaņā ar kopīgo rīcības plānu noteiktos pasākumus, lai dotu iespēju turpināt sarunas līdz 2015. gada 30. jūnijam. Līdztekus E3/ES+3 darbības virzienam SAEA un Irānas sadarbības sistēmas mērķis ir atrisināt visus pašreizējos un iepriekšējos atklātos jautājumus, tostarp tos, kas ir saistīti ar iespējamām militārām dimensijām. SAEA un Irānas sadarbības sistēmas ietvaros februārī un maijā notika divas tehniskas sanāksmes. Tomēr Irāna joprojām vēl nav īstenojusi divus neatrisinātos praktiskos pasākumus, turklāt tā nav ierosinājusi nekādus jaunus praktiskus pasākumus trešajā sadarbības sistēmas posmā, kaut gan SAEA atkārtoti ir lūgusi to darīt.

ES joprojām ir nobažījusies par to, ka Irāna attīsta un izmēģina ballistiskās raķetes un kosmiskās nesējraķetes, pārkāpjot ANO DP rezolūcijas 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 un 1929. ES atkārtoti ir paudusi nosodījumu par minētajām darbībām, jo tās sevī ietver risku, ka tiek izstrādātas kodolsprādzienierīču ieroču sistēmas. 2013. gada novembra kopīgajā rīcības plānā ir paredzēts, ka, piemērojot visaptverošu risinājumu, būs jāīsteno visu ANO DP Irānas jautājumā pieņemto rezolūciju attiecīgie noteikumi, tostarp 9. darbības punkts ANO DP Rezolūcijā 1929.

Attiecībā uz KTDR ES joprojām ir ārkārtīgi nobažījusies par to, ka tiek turpināta kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmas attīstīšana un ka režīms kodolspēju uzlabošanu ir izvirzījis par politisku prioritāti. ES ir turpinājusi mudināt KTDR ievērot saistības, ko šī valsts ir uzņēmusies saskaņā ar attiecīgajām ANO DP rezolūcijām, cita starpā pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski pārtraukt visas savas pastāvošās kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmas. ES ir turpinājusi aicināt KTDR atkal nodrošināt pilnīgu atbilstību KNL un SAEA drošības pasākumu saistībām un saskaņā ar SAEA lūgumu nodrošināt tai piekļuvi atsevišķām personām, dokumentācijai, aprīkojumam un iekārtām. ES ir nemitīgi atbalstījusi sešu pušu sarunu procesa atsākšanu un ir aicinājusi KTDR atkal iesaistīties ticamās un patiesās starptautiskās sarunās. Papildus ANO DP rezolūciju īstenošanai ES ir ieviesusi arī papildu autonomus ierobežojošus pasākumus, tostarp stingrāku kontroli attiecībā uz divējāda lietojuma precēm un parasto ieroču izplatīšanu. ES atjaunoja aicinājumu KTDR, mudinot to ratificēt CTBT un atturēties no turpmākām provokācijām. KTDR nesen draudēja veikt vēl vienu kodolizmēģinājumu, un tā turpina neievērot ANO DP rezolūcijas 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 un 2094; nesen tā palaida tuva un vidēja darbības rādiusa raķetes, tostarp ballistiskās raķetes. Šādu rīcību ir stingri nosodījusi Augstās pārstāves runaspersona.

2.   ATBRUŅOŠANĀS KONFERENCE/LĪGUMS PAR AIZLIEGUMU RAŽOT KODOLIEROČU UN CITU KODOLSPRĀDZIENIERĪČU IZSTRĀDEI PAREDZĒTUS SKALDMATERIĀLUS

Rezolūcijā A/RES/69/76, ko ANO Ģenerālā asambleja pieņēma saistībā ar Malaizijas iesniegto ziņojumu par Atbruņošanās konferenci, konference atkal tika aicināta vēl aktīvāk rīkot konsultācijas un izskatīt iespējas, kā rast izeju no ieilgušā strupceļa, pēc iespējas ātrāk savā 2015. gada darba sesijā pieņemot un īstenojot līdzsvarotu un visaptverošu darba programmu. Tajā atzinīgi tika vērtēts gan Atbruņošanās konferences lēmums atjaunot neoficiālo darba grupu, to pilnvarojot izstrādāt darba programmu, gan tas, ka Atbruņošanās konference ir rīkojusi virkni strukturētu un nozīmīgu neoficiālu diskusiju par visiem darba kārtības jautājumiem. Rezolūcijā atzīts, ka ir svarīgi, lai 2015. gadā tiktu turpinātas konsultācijas par Atbruņošanās konferences dalībnieku loka paplašināšanu.

ES pauda nožēlu, ka Atbruņošanās konferencei nav izdevies sākt būtiski nozīmīgu darbu, tostarp sarunas. Tomēr tā atzīmēja, ka ir bijuši daži pozitīvi pavērsieni, piemēram, neoficiālās darba grupas atjaunošana, kuras uzdevums ir palīdzēt darba programmas izstrādē, un strukturētās diskusijas saistībā ar darba grafiku. ES pauda cerību, ka šie pasākumi var kalpot par pamatu turpmākam darbam. ES vēlreiz apstiprināja jau iepriekš pausto apņemšanos paplašināt Atbruņošanās konferenci un uzsvēra, ka ir svarīgi turpināt konsultācijas par dalībnieku loka paplašināšanu, un stingri atbalstīja priekšlikumu iecelt īpašu par šo jautājumu atbildīgu koordinatoru. Ievērojot principu, kas paredz attiecību veidošanu ar pilsonisko sabiedrību, ES atbalstīja arī uzlabotu pilsoniskās sabiedrības mijiedarbību ar Atbruņošanās konferenci, tādējādi dodot iespēju iekļaujošā veidā paplašināt NVO un pētniecības institūtu ieguldījumu konferences darbā.

Čehijas Republika novērotāju valstu neoficiālās grupas vārdā sniedza paziņojumu, uzsverot, ka Atbruņošanās konferences paplašināšana ir būtiski svarīgs jautājums, un tas varētu palīdzēt atgūt uzticēšanos šai konferencei.

Viena no skaidrām Eiropas Savienības prioritātēm joprojām ir tas, lai Atbruņošanās konferencē nekavējoties tiktu sāktas un drīzumā noslēgtas sarunas attiecībā uz Līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus, pamatojoties uz dokumentu CD/1299 un tajā ietverto pilnvarojumu. Kaut gan valstu drošības jautājumi ir leģitīmi, tomēr tos var risināt un tie būtu jārisina kā daļa no sarunu procesa, nevis jāizvirza kā priekšnoteikums. ES aicināja delegācijas izrādīt elastīgumu. ES aicināja visas Atbruņošanās konferences dalībvalstis nekavējoties sākt sarunas par šādu līgumu un uzsākt darbu pie citiem darba kārtības jautājumiem saskaņā ar pieņemto darba programmu CD/1864. Tā arī aicināja visas valstis, kurām pieder kodolieroči un kuras vēl nav pasludinājušas un neievēro kodolieroču vai citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētu skaldmateriālu ražošanas moratoriju, nekavējoties to darīt. ES atzinīgi novērtēja 2014. gadā rīkotajās divās valdības ekspertu grupas sanāksmēs notikušās diskusijas un izteicās, ka tā ar cerībām gaida valdības ekspertu grupas priekšsēdētāja ziņojumu un 2015. gada sanāksmes, lai šajā jautājumā panāktu būtisku progresu.

3.   ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

Sīrijas ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanas programmas vajadzībām Eiropas Savienība Ķīmisko ieroču aizliegšanas organizācijai (OPCW) ir piešķīrusi kopumā gandrīz EUR 17 miljonus. Šādā nolūkā ES sinerģiski izmantoja tās rīcībā esošos finanšu instrumentus (KĀDP un Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu) un sniedza gan ieguldījumu natūrā (bruņotus transportlīdzekļus un satelītattēlus), gan finanšu ieguldījumu (EUR 12 miljoni OPCW trasta fondā). Saskaņā ar OPCW lūgumu līdz 2015. gada 30. septembrim bez jebkādām izmaksām ir pagarināts Padomes Lēmums 2013/726/KĀDP, atbilstīgi kuram šai organizācijai tiek sniegti satelītattēli, lai nodrošinātu tās Sīrijā veikto darbību drošību un efektivitāti, jo, ņemot vērā, ka Sīrijas ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanas plānu īstenošana ir aizkavējusies, attiecīgās operācijas tiks turpinātas vēl arī 2015. gadā.

Ar Padomes Lēmumu 2014/74/KĀDP (2014. gada 11. februāris) un Padomes Regulu (ES) Nr. 124/2014 (2014. gada 10. februāris) tika ieviests izņēmums, kas paredzēja iesaldēto Sīrijas aktīvu iespējamu izmantošanu, lai segtu izdevumus, kas saistīti ar OPCW Sīrijā veiktajām pārbaudes un iznīcināšanas darbībām. 2014. gada novembrī ES OPCW ģenerāldirektoram adresēja vēstuli, kurā viņu informēja par minēto iespēju un lūdza viņu nākt klajā ar Sīrijas iestādēm adresētu attiecīgu demaršu. Pēc Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas (CWC) trešās pārskatīšanas konferences ES galveno uzmanību turpināja pievērst savām prioritātēm, proti: i) pabeigt esošo ieroču uzkrājumu iznīcināšanu; ii) veicināt CWC universālumu (2013. gada 14. oktobrī Sīrija kļuva par 190. šīs konvencijas līgumslēdzēju valsti); iii) panākt īstenošanu valstu līmenī saskaņā ar VII pantu; iv) pievērst lielāku uzmanību centieniem novērst ieroču izplatīšanu; v) sekmēt spēju veidošanu attiecībā uz jaunattīstības valstu ķīmiskās rūpniecības drošību un nekaitīgumu saskaņā ar XI pantu un reaģēt uz ķīmisko ieroču izmantošanu saskaņā ar X pantu.

Lai gan vairāki CWC sākotnējie pamatuzdevumi vēl pilnībā nav izpildīti, ES un tās dalībvalstis ir sākušas pārdomu procesu par iespēju nošķirt posmu, kas seko ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanai, un ir pakāpeniski sākušas apsvērt problēmas, kas ir saistītas ar konvencijas turpmāku atbilstību (proti, aizliegt ķīmisko ieroču atkārtotu izplatīšanu, to, ka šos ieročus izmanto nevalstiski dalībnieki un teroristi, šo ieroču un bioloģijas konverģence) un līdz ar to – tās efektivitāti. Uz šo apsvērumu pamata 2015.–2016. gadam ir sagatavots jauns Padomes lēmums.

Attiecībā uz ES atbalsta ietekmi visas valstis, kas bija atlasītas atbalsta saņemšanai, to izmantoja, lai novērstu būtiskus tehniskus trūkumus, tādējādi dodot šīm līgumslēdzējām valstīm iespēju gūt ievērojamus panākumus CWC īstenošanā valstu līmenī. Konkrēti var teikt, ka ES Padomes lēmumi joprojām ir vienīgais iespējamais līdzeklis, lai sniegtu šāda veida palīdzību īstenošanas trūkumu novēršanai. No 90 valsts īstenošanas apakšprojektiem, ko OPCW Tehniskais sekretariāts ir veicis pēdējos gados, apmēram pusi nevarētu īstenot bez vienotajās rīcībās/Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem. Attiecībā uz ES prioritāti – veicināt universālumu – kopš pirmās vienotās rīcības pieņemšanas konvencijai ir pievienojušās kopumā deviņpadsmit valstis, un četras no tām, kuras konvencijai pievienojās 2005. gadā, ir bijušas iesaistītas kādā no izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumiem, kas tika finansēti no vienotajās rīcībās/Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem; tas pats attiecas uz visām valstīm, kas konvencijai pievienojās nākamajos gados. Universāluma veicināšanas centienu ietvaros OPCW, izmantojot ES finansējumu un uz Padomes Lēmuma 2012/166/KĀDP pamata, sarīkoja semināru ar Izraēlas plašsaziņas līdzekļu pārstāvjiem un viņus informēja par šīs organizācijas sasniegumiem un turpmākajiem uzdevumiem (2014. gada 8. decembris, OPCW galvenā mītne).

4.   BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

Pēc septītās Bioloģisko un toksisko ieroču konvencijas (BTIK) pārskatīšanas konferences (Ženēva, 2011. gada decembris) ES ir konstruktīvi iesaistījusies starpsanāksmju procesā, sagatavojot paziņojumus un konkrētus darba dokumentus par šādiem jautājumiem: 1) starptautiska sadarbība un palīdzība; 2) īstenošanas pastiprināšana valstu līmenī; 3) spēju veidošana bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības jomā. ES delegācija sniedza ES paziņojumus ekspertu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2014. gada 4.–8. augusts) un līgumslēdzēju dalībvalstu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2014. gada 1.–5. decembris). Pēdējā no minētajām sanāksmēm ES, kura ir sākusi izstrādāt kopējo nostāju 2016. gada astotajai pārskatīšanas konferencei, nāca klajā ar priekšlikumu, gatavojoties šai konferencei, izveidot sagatavošanas mehānismu, kas sastāvētu no neoficiālām sanāksmēm.

Kā piemērus ES rīcības rezultātiem 2014. gada otrajā pusē var minēt: lielākas informētības par BTIK veicināšana Āzijā un Latīņamerikā, tostarp labāka BTIK izpratne attiecīgajās valsts iestādēs un/vai pastiprināta apakšreģionālu sakaru veidošana, un brīvprātīgas BTIK īstenošanas pirms ratifikācijas veicināšana.

Īstenojot Padomes Lēmumu 2012/421/KĀDP (2012. gada 23. jūlijs), saskaņā ar palīdzības programmām rīkotie valstu darbsemināri uzlaboja izpratni par BTIK attiecīgajās valstu iestādēs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā, stiprināja reģionālos sakarus BTIK īstenošanas nolūkos, un ar to palīdzību tika apzinātas vajadzības, kas nepieciešamas BTIK īstenošanas uzlabošanai. Šādus darbseminārus ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs rīkoja Kolumbijā (2014. gada 6. un 7. martā un 12. un 13. jūnijā), kur tiesiskās palīdzības sniegšana tika pabeigta 9.–11. septembrī, un Mongolijā (29. aprīlī), kur tiesiskās palīdzības sniegšana tika pabeigta 1.–3. oktobrī. Mongolijā 2014. gada 10.–15. novembrī tika rīkots arī darbseminārs, lai sniegtu palīdzību bioloģiskā drošuma jautājumos, un 11.–12. decembrī – apmācība par bioloģiski bīstamu atkritumu apsaimniekošanu.

ES ir iesaistīta arī bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības uzlabojumu veicināšanā. 2013. gada 18. novembrī pieņemtajā Padomes Lēmumā 2013/668/KĀDP ir paredzēti vairāk nekā EUR 1,7 miljoni, lai ar Pasaules Veselības organizācijas tehniskās ekspertīzes starpniecību atbalstītu projektus, kuru mērķis ir dažās izraudzītās līgumslēdzējās dalībvalstīs veicināt bioloģiskā apdraudējuma apzināšanos, laboratoriju bioloģiskā apdraudējuma pārvaldību un valsts stratēģiju izstrādi attiecībā uz laboratorijām.

5.   BALLISTISKĀS RAĶETES

5.1.   Hāgas rīcības kodekss (HCoC)

ES uzskata, ka Hāgas rīcības kodekss pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) ir unikāls daudzpusējs instruments, kura mērķis ir ar pārredzamības un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumiem ierobežot ballistisko raķešu sistēmu un ar tām saistītu tehnoloģiju izplatīšanu, un kopš kodeksa pieņemšanas Eiropas Savienība ir to stingri atbalstījusi. Visas ES dalībvalstis ir parakstījušas minēto kodeksu. ES ir turpinājusi sekmēt un atbalstīt kodeksa trīs aspektus: universālumu, īstenošanu un pastiprinātu un uzlabotu darbību.

Balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2012/423/KĀDP, ar ko tiek atbalstīts HCoC un raķešu neizplatīšana kopumā, un pēc diviem reģionāliem semināriem, kas tika rīkoti 2013. gada novembrī Singapūrā un 2014. gada aprīlī Abū Dabī, trešais seminārs notika 2014. gada jūlijā Limā (Peru).

ES sarīkoja (un ES delegācija Ņujorkā koordinēja) vēl vienu pasākumu 2014. gada oktobrī – līdztekus ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksmei. Tika nodrošināta ES pamanāmība, ko cita starpā veicināja ES delegācijas vadītāja piedalīšanās un skaidras atsauces uz ES finansējumu, ko pieminēja gandrīz visi runātāji. Tika izmantoti inovatīvi risinājumi, nodrošinot pasākuma tiešraidi un diskusijas internetā.

ES dalībvalstis strādā pie tā, lai ar jauna Padomes lēmuma palīdzību atjaunotu atbalstu ballistisko raķešu neizplatīšanai.

5.2.   Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms (MTCR)

MTCR 2014. gada plenārsēde notika Oslo, 1.–3. oktobrī, kur tika sniegts ES paziņojums.

Trīs no ES9 valstīm – Rumānija, Igaunija un Slovēnija – atjaunoja savu pieteikumu dalībai MTCR.

Pēc tam, kad Ukraina atsauca savu kandidatūru, Luksemburga un Nīderlande iesniedza kopīgu pieteikumu kandidēšanai uz MTCR priekšsēdētāja amatu 2015.–2016. gadā.

6.   
  CBRN RISKU MAZINĀŠANA

ES turpināja gūt panākumus attiecībā uz Eiropas Savienības 2009. gadā pieņemtā CBRN (ķīmiskā, bioloģiskā, radioloģiskā un kodolapdraudējuma) rīcības plāna īstenošanu, un līdz šim ar Noziedzības profilakses un apkarošanas (ISEC) programmu ir atbalstīti aptuveni 30 projekti.

Turklāt, veicot pētniecību, kas aptver krīžu pārvarēšanas ciklu kopumā (no novēršanas līdz atjaunošanai), CBRN rīcības plānam zinātnisku un tehnisku atbalstu sniedz ar CBRN saistīti pētniecības projekti, kuri saskaņā ar Septīto pamatprogrammu tiek finansēti ar Drošas sabiedrības programmas starpniecību. Notiek arī pasākumi, lai šajā jomā apzinātu standartizācijas vajadzības, kuru rezultātā varētu tikt izstrādāti “Eiropas normu” standarti. Ar programmu “Apvārsnis 2020” (2014.–2020.) pastiprinās pašreizējos centienus CBRN pētniecības jomā, izmantojot koncentrētus tematus, kuru darba programma tika pieņemta 2013. gada 10. decembrī.

2012. gada progresa ziņojumā par rīcības plāna īstenošanu tika izcelti galvenie panākumi, jo īpaši attiecībā uz pastiprinātu informācijas un paraugprakses apmaiņu, kopīgu mācību pasākumu rīkošanu un uz vienošanos par trim ES paaugstināta riska vielu sarakstiem attiecīgi ķīmijas, bioloģijas, kā arī radioloģijas un kodolmateriālu jomā.

Lai pašreizējo rīcības plānu īstenotu līdz 2015. gadam un lai izstrādātu jauno CBRN-E programmu, Komisija cieši sadarbojas ar dalībvalstu iestādēm un citām attiecīgajām ieinteresētajām personām CBRN-E padomdevēju grupā un tās apakšgrupās, kuras tiekas regulāri.

2014. gada maijā Eiropas Komisija pieņēma Paziņojumu par jaunu ES pieeju CBRN-E risku atklāšanai un mazināšanai (dokuments COM(2014) 247 final). Šajā paziņojumā Komisija ierosina veicināt praktisku sadarbību CBRN-E risku atklāšanai un mazināšanai ES līmenī, tostarp sadarboties ar rūpniecības nozari, tādu iekārtu operatoriem, kuras darbojas ar CBRN-E materiāliem (aprīkojuma ražotājiem un pakalpojumu sniedzējiem drošības jomā), un citām ieinteresētām personām. Dokumentā ir ietverts 30 darbību kopums, kuras dažādiem Komisijas dienestiem sadarbībā ar dalībvalstīm ir jāīsteno vistuvākajā laikā. Tiks sagatavoti konkrēti rīki – norāžu materiāli, mācību un informētības palielināšanas darbības – un testēšanas pasākumi.

2010. gada maijā ES sāka iniciatīvu “ES CBRN izcilības centri”, kas tiek finansēta ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta starpniecību. ES CBRN izcilības centri tiek veidoti, reaģējot uz atzinumu, ka vairākās valstīs iestāžu spējas nav pietiekamas, lai mazinātu CBRN risku, proti: noziedzīgas darbības (CBRN izplatīšana vai terorisms), dabīgus cēloņus (zoonoze un epidēmijas) un negadījumu izraisītas katastrofas (negadījumi rūpniecībā). To mērķis ir valsts un reģionālā līmenī izstrādāt visa veida apdraudējumus aptverošu CBRN politiku, lai šos riskus paredzētu un uz tiem reaģētu. Īsumā – tie ir strukturāli pasākumi, lai mazinātu valstu neaizsargātību pret notikumiem, kas ir saistīti ar CBRN, darbojoties gan reģionu, gan ES drošības interesēs.

Lai panāktu šo mērķi, ir jāatbalsta reģionālu ekspertu tīklu izveide tiesiskos, reglamentējošos, tehniskos, kontroles un īstenošanas jautājumos attiecībā uz CBRN risku mazināšanu.

Ir izveidoti septiņi reģionāli centri: 1. Ziemeļāfrikā (Alžīra), 2. Āfrikas daļā, kas atrodas pie Atlantijas okeāna (Rabata), 3. Tuvajos Austrumos (Ammāna), 4. Dienvidaustrumeiropā – Dienvidkaukāzā – Moldovas Republikā – Ukrainā (Tbilisi), 5. Dienvidaustrumāzijā (Manila), 6. Subsahāras Āfrikā (Nairobi) un 7. Persijas līča valstīs (Abū Dabī), un tie ir sākuši darbu. Nākamais solis būs reģionāla sekretariāta atvēršana Vidusāzijā (Taškentā – tiks precizēts). Papildus četrdesmit projektiem, kuriem iepriekš jau piešķirti kopumā EUR 50 miljoni, ar dažādiem konsorcijiem – tostarp no dalībvalstīm – ir noslēgti līgumi par jauniem projektiem, kuru kopsumma ir aptuveni EUR 10 miljoni.

7.   IDEJU LABORATORIJAS

Balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP (2010. gada 26. jūlijs), ES darbu saistībā ar ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai aktīvi atbalstīja ES Ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs, kas sāka darboties 2011. gada janvārī. 2014. gada 10. martā tika pieņemts jauns lēmums, ar kuru konsorcija darbība tika pagarināta vēl uz trim gadiem, gan balstoties uz 2011.–2013. gadā gūtajiem sasniegumiem un pieredzi, gan pievienojot jaunus un inovatīvus projektus. Proti: ad hoc semināri, kuru skaits nepārsniegs 7 (paredzēti četrdesmit piecām mērķtiecīgi un katrā konkrētajā gadījumā individuāli atlasītām personām; semināri notiks ES; līdz 3 semināriem var rīkot ārpus ES); palīdzības dienests līdz divdesmit 5–10 lappušu garu politikas dokumentu sagatavošanai divu nedēļu laikā pēc EĀDD pieprasījuma; izglītības rīks par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos (universitāšu lietošanai paredzēta Eiropas mācību programma tiešsaistē, kam jābūt pieejamai 24 mēnešus pēc līguma sākuma). Pēc 2011.–2013. gadā organizētajiem sekmīgajiem pasākumiem 2014. gada 4. un 5. septembrī tika sarīkota trešā gadskārtējā starptautiskā konference par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos un 2014. gada 3.–4. novembrī– trešā ES un konsorcija konsultatīvā sanāksme. Pēc diviem pirmajiem ad hoc semināriem (24. aprīlī – par BTIK un atbilstību un 18.–19. jūnijā – par no MII brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos) 23.–25. augustā Alpbahā notika trešais seminārs par kodolenerģijas nākotni. ES ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs arī sagatavoja pirmos piecus palīdzības dienesta politikas dokumentus: 1) 8. BTIK pārskatīšanas konference 2016. gadā un Eiropas Savienības loma; 2) Letālu autonomu ieroču sistēmas; 3) Kā nodrošināt sekmīgu 2015. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferences iznākumu; 4) Vai Ebolas vīruss var kļūt par ieroci? 5) Iniciatīva, lai izstrādātu juridiski saistošu starptautisku līgumu, ar ko tiktu aizliegtas “zeme – zeme” tipa ballistiskās raķetes.

Ietekmes ziņā konsorcija pasākumi ir uzlabojuši ES popularitāti trešās valstīs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā un būtiski palīdzējuši veidot ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā. Konsorcijs nodrošina platformu neoficiālai speciālistu saziņai un palīdz sekmēt dialogu starp dažādām ieinteresētajām personām. Konsorcija tīklā ir vairāk nekā 65 ideju laboratorijas visā Eiropā. Tā darbība ir palīdzējusi palielināt informētību par problēmām, kas ir saistītas ar kodolieročiem, ķīmiskajiem un bioloģiskajiem ieročiem.

8.   APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA 1540 UN EKSPORTA KONTROLE

a)   ANO DP Rezolūcija 1540

Padomes lēmumu, kuru ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 atbalstam Padome pieņēma 2013. gada 22. jūlijā, īsteno ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs, kas rīko reģionālus darbseminārus un valstu atbalsta apmeklējumus visā pasaulē. Šā Padomes lēmuma īstenošana palīdz pastiprināt attiecīgos valstu un reģionu centienus, palīdz praksē īstenot ieteikumus, kas iekļauti 2009. gada vispārējā pārskatā par ANO DPR 1540 īstenošanas statusu, un pēc valstu lūguma ierosina un izstrādā valstu rīcības plānus.

ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs ir parakstījis nolīgumu ar EDSO, ar kura palīdzību tiktu radīta sinerģija ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 atbalstīšanai. Arī tādēļ, lai izvairītos no iespējamas dublēšanās, ir jātiecas pēc sinerģijas un koordinācijas arī ar ES CBRN izcilības centriem. Izmantojot ES finansējumu, jau ir sarīkoti septiņi pasākumi, nesenākais no tiem notika Seulā, 2014. gada novembrī.

b)   Eksporta kontroles

Pēc tam, kad 2014. gada 24. aprīlī tika pieņemts Komisijas paziņojums par ES eksporta kontroles režīma pārskatīšanu, kurā ir apzināti konkrēti politikas risinājumi eksporta kontroles modernizēšanai un tās pielāgošanai strauji mainīgajiem tehnoloģiju, ekonomikas un politikas apstākļiem, Padome 2014. gada 21. novembrī pieņēma secinājumus, kuros tā izklāstīja savus uzskatus par eksporta kontroles režīma pārskatīšanu. Savukārt Eiropas Parlaments 24. novembrī par šo paziņojumu sarīkoja publiskas debates un tās turpinās ar atklātu sēdi 2015. gada janvārī. Vienlaikus Komisija ir sākusi gatavot šajā paziņojumā minēto pārskatīšanas risinājumu “ietekmes novērtējumu”, lai apzinātu piemērotākās reglamentējošās un nereglamentējošās darbības to īstenošanai. 2014. gada decembrī tika parakstīts līgums par tādu datu vākšanu, kas vajadzīgi ietekmes novērtējuma sagatavošanai.

Kas attiecas uz regulējuma jomu, pēc kompetences deleģēšanas, kas tika veikta saskaņā ar Regulu (ES) Nr. 599/2014, Komisija 2014. gada 22. oktobrī pieņēma deleģētu regulu, lai atjauninātu ES kontrolsarakstu, ņemot vērā lēmumus, kas pieņemti saskaņā ar daudzpusējiem eksporta kontroles režīmiem 2011.–2012. un 2013. gadā. Šī regula stājās spēkā 2014. gada decembrī.

Eksporta kontroles īstenošanu sekmēja trīs Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupas sanāksmes 2014. gada otrajā pusgadā, kurās uzmanība jo īpaši tika pievērsta jaunu funkciju ieviešanai Divējāda lietojuma preču elektroniskajā sistēmā, ES pamatnostādnēm par kompetento iestāžu savstarpējo konsultāciju procedūrām, licencēšanas datu vākšanai un informācijas apmaiņai par dažādiem kontroles jautājumiem.

ES koordinēja savu darbību, lai ES nostājām, par kurām bija panākta vienošanās, panāktu lielāku atbalstu attiecīgajās sanāksmēs, kas 2014. gada otrajā pusgadā tika rīkotas par eksporta kontroles režīmu (Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupa: konsultatīvā grupa 2014. gada novembrī Vīnē; raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms: plenārsēde oktobrī Oslo). Austrālijas grupas plenārsēdē (2014. gada jūnijs) ES iepazīstināja ar savu pieeju tehnoloģiju nemateriālas nodošanas kontrolei, un 2014. gada decembrī tika darīta zināma ES atbilde jautājumā par farmaceitiskajiem preparātiem.

Joprojām tika īstenota ES Eksporta kontroles izpratnes uzlabošanas programma, lai stiprinātu (23) trešo valstu administratīvās un tehniskās spējas rīkoties ar divējāda lietojuma precēm. Izpratnes veicināšanas programma ir parādījusi, ka labi norit sadarbība ar Ķīnas eksporta kontroles iestādēm, kuras rezultātā tika publicēta kopīga eksporta kontroles rokasgrāmata. Pēc tam īpaša uzmanība tika veltīta eksporta kontroles pasākumu izveidošanai ar Jordāniju un Kazahstānu. Šī programma tiek finansēta saskaņā ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu.

9.   KOSMOSS

Kopš 2007. gada ES ir veicinājusi to, lai tiktu izstrādāts starptautisks rīcības kodekss kosmosā veiktām darbībām. Šis starptautiskais un brīvprātīgais pamatnostādņu kopums un uzticības veicināšanas pasākumi stiprinātu visu kosmosā veikto darbību drošumu, drošību un paredzamību. Ar šādām pamatnostādnēm būtu cita starpā jāierobežo vai līdz minimumam jāsamazina kaitīgi traucējumi, sadursmes vai negadījumi kosmosā, kā arī atkritumu radīšana. Kodeksā būtu izklāstīti pamatnoteikumi, kas kosmosa apguves valstīm ir jāievēro, veicot gan civilas, gan militāras darbības kosmosā.

ES sarīkoja trīs daudzpusējas atvērto konsultāciju kārtas par kodeksa projekta tekstu; tās notika Kijevā (2013. gada maijā), Bangkokā (2013. gada novembrī) un Luksemburgā (2014. gada maijā). Konsultāciju procesā pavisam piedalījās 95 ANO dalībvalstis (katrā konsultāciju kārtā piedalījās 61 valsts). Atvērto konsultāciju process, kas noslēdzās ar sanāksmi Luksemburgā, bija vērtīgs ieguldījums, lai veidotu labāku izpratni par valstu, kas tajā piedalījās, nostājām un bažām. Šīs sanāksmes noslēgumā priekšsēdētājs secināja, ka saistībā ar šo iniciatīvu ir jūtama plaša starptautiska interese. Daudzas valstis pauda vēlmi šajā procesā pāriet uz sarunu posmu, kurā konsultāciju procesa gaitā izstrādātais kodeksa projekts varētu kalpot par pamatu turpmākām daudzpusējām sarunām.

Saistībā ar rīcības kodeksa projektu ES 2014. gada otrajā pusgadā turpināja īstenot plašus izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumus ANO dalībvalstu vidū, lai apzinātu, kādas ir iespējas šajā procesā pāriet uz sarunu posmu. Saistībā ar šo starptautisko rīcības kodeksu 2014. gada 16. oktobrī ES rīkoja papildu pasākumu līdztekus ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksmei, kurā piedalījās ANO Augstā pārstāve atbruņošanās jautājumos Angela Kane, Indijas vēstnieks Atbruņošanās konferencē Venkatesh Varma un viens no Stimsona centra dibinātājiem Michael Krepon.

10.   MII NEIZPLATĪŠANAS KLAUZULAS

Saskaņā ar savu MII neizplatīšanas stratēģiju ES turpināja savās līgumiskajās attiecībās ar trešām valstīm integrēt MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu. Ir notikušas turpmākas sarunas par MII neizplatīšanas klauzulām attiecīgajos nolīgumos starp ES un trešām valstīm, konkrēti, ar Malaiziju. Šīs sarunas palīdz uzlabot izpratni par ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā un veido forumu, lai uzlabotu savstarpējo sapratni par attiecīgajām nostājām, apzinātu nākotnē iespējamās sadarbības jomas un mudinātu partnervalstis konkrētai virzībai uz priekšu attiecībā uz starptautisku neizplatīšanas režīmu.

11.   CITI DAUDZPUSĒJI FORUMI

G7

ES turpināja aktīvi piedalīties ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksmēs (Berlīnē, 2014. gada novembrī).

Deviņus gadus pēc tam, kad 2002. gadā tika izveidota Globālā partnerība, tā ir paplašinājusies un kļuvusi par koordinācijas un sadarbības platformu, kas tagad aptver vēl 20 partnerus. Dovilas samitā 2011. gada maijā līderi vienojās turpināt stiprināt bioloģisko drošību, ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 īstenošanu un kodoldrošību. ASV 2012. gadā, Apvienotā Karaliste 2013. gadā un Krievija līdz tās izslēgšanai no G8 2014. gadā turpināja risināt šos jautājumus, jo īpaši Globālās partnerības darba grupā stiprinot piecas esošās darba apakšgrupas, kas aptver bioloģisko drošību, ķīmisko drošību, kodoldrošību, izcilības centrus un izpratnes veicināšanu un paplašināšanos. Pēc Krievijas izslēgšanas Globālās partnerības darbs turpinās kā G7. Darba apakšgrupā izcilības centru jautājumos, kas darbojas Globālās partnerības ietvaros, ES izcilības centru darbs joprojām ir ļoti pamanāms; tas jo īpaši ir noderīgs kā rīks, ar kura palīdzību veicināt informācijas apmaiņu reģionālā līmenī un, iespējams, novērst līdzekļu devēju darba dublēšanos. ES atbalsta Vācijas prioritātes, kuras tā definēja 2014.–2015. gadam, kad tā pilda priekšsēdētāja funkcijas, jo īpaši attiecībā uz bioloģijas zinātnēm, kas ir viena no darba kārtības prioritātēm. Mērķis ir uzlabot materiālu drošību un uzskaiti, pastiprināt slimību uzraudzību un ārkārtas reaģēšanu (proti, ebola un citas pandēmijas), nostiprināt valstu un globālos tīklus un veicināt drošu un atbildīgu rīcību bioloģijas zinātnēs. Tas atbilst būtiskajai lomai, ko ES jau spēlē bioloģijas zinātņu jomā ar BTIK un PVO Padomes lēmumu starpniecību, kā arī ar trīs (tuvākajā laikā – četru) ES mobilo laboratoriju palīdzību, kuras jau kopš 2014. gada maija darbojas Rietumāfrikā. Patlaban tiek izskatīti citi projekti “cordon sanitaire” (sanitārā kordona) izveidošanai ap Gvineju, Sjerraleoni un Libēriju.

Starptautiskais Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centrs

ES aktīvi piedalījās sarunās par to, lai tiktu pieņemts atjaunināts nolīgums par Starptautisko Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru (ISTC). ISTC mērķis ir panākt, lai zinātnieki un inženieri, kuriem ir zināšanas par divējāda lietojuma precēm, iesaistītos mierīga rakstura pētniecības pasākumos vai komerciālās programmās ar ES un citiem partneriem. Centrs tiecas panākt, lai zināšanas par divējāda lietojuma precēm tiktu izmantotas arī turpmāk, attiecīgo zinātnieku darbībai piešķirot jaunu virzienu un jaunu pielietojumu, un tādējādi tas varētu spēlēt lomu, lai ieroču izplatīšanas krīzēm rastu ilgtermiņa risinājumus. Sarunu gaitā ES uzsvēra, ka ir nepieciešams tāds nolīgums, kas ISTC ļautu īstenot projektus, kuri palīdzētu efektīvi risināt problēmas ar ieroču izplatīšanu saistītās jomās, tostarp Tuvējos Austrumos. 2014. gada jūnijā tika oficiāli atklāts ISTC jaunais filiāles birojs Astanā.

12.   POLITISKĀ DIALOGA SANĀKSMES

Īpašais sūtnis rīkoja politiskā dialoga sanāksmes par ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumiem ar Japānu, Korejas Republiku, Kanādu un ASV. Viņš arī sarīkoja virkni citu divpusēju konsultāciju ar dažādiem dalībniekiem, tostarp līdztekus svarīgiem pasākumiem, piemēram, līdztekus ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksmei Ņujorkā (ANO Augstā pārstāve atbruņošanās jautājumos, Šveice un ASV). 2014. gada 12. decembrī ES un ASV Briselē tikās gadskārtējā augsta līmeņa dialogā par ieroču neizplatīšanu, atbruņošanos un ieroču kontroli; sanāksmē piedalījās arī ierēdņi no ASV Valsts departamenta, EĀDD un 28 ES dalībvalstu pārstāvji. Diskusijās tika pārrunāti šādi jautājumi: Eiropas drošības vide; gatavošanās 2015. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencei un iespējamais ieguldījums, lai nodrošinātu sekmīgu šīs konferences iznākumu, kā arī nesen notikusī konference par kodolieroču ietekmi uz humanitāro situāciju (Vīne); dažādi reģionāli ar KNL saistīti jautājumi un no MII brīvā zona Tuvajos Austrumos; raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma turpmākā attīstība un Hāgas rīcības kodekss, tostarp atbalsts tā īstenošanai un universalizācijai; pašreizējā gatavošanās pirmajai Ieroču tirdzniecības līguma dalībvalstu konferencei; 2016. gadā paredzētās BTIK pārskatīšanas konferences mērķi; jautājumi, kas saistīti ar ieroču izplatīšanas finansēšanas novēršanu; kā arī plāni, lai virzītu uz priekšu projektu starptautiskam rīcības kodeksam par kosmosā veiktām darbībām.
