POLLETNO POROČILO O NAPREDKU PRI IZVAJANJU STRATEGIJE EU PROTI ŠIRJENJU OROŽJA ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE (2014/II)

(2015/C 041/01)

UVOD

V skladu s strategijo EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje, ki jo je Evropski svet sprejel decembra 2003 (dok. 15708/03), so poročila o napredku pri izvajanju strategije predvidena vsakih šest mesecev. Predmet tega poročila so dejavnosti, ki so se izvajale v drugi polovici leta 2014.

Načela, na katerih temelji ukrepanje EU na tem področju, so v skladu z evropsko varnostno strategijo, strategijo EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in novimi smernicami za ukrepanje (dok. 17172/08) še naprej tale:

| (i) | učinkovit multilateralizem, vključno s prizadevanji za vsesplošno uveljavitev mednarodnih pogodb, konvencij in drugih instrumentov ter njihovo izvajanje na nacionalni ravni, z diplomatsko dejavnostjo in finančno pomočjo tretjim državam in mednarodnim organizacijam; |

| (ii) | tesno sodelovanje s partnericami in drugimi tretjimi državami ter prizadevanje za zbližanje mnenj na svetovni ravni glede potrebe po okrepitvi mednarodne ureditve za neširjenje orožja. Nadaljevala so se prizadevanje za reševanje vprašanj neširjenja orožja v okviru dvostranskih odnosov EU z vsemi zadevnimi državami, zlasti s srečanji v okviru političnega dialoga in večjim številom neformalnih stikov; |

tesno sodelovanje s partnericami in drugimi tretjimi državami ter prizadevanje za zbližanje mnenj na svetovni ravni glede potrebe po okrepitvi mednarodne ureditve za neširjenje orožja. Nadaljevala so se prizadevanje za reševanje vprašanj neširjenja orožja v okviru dvostranskih odnosov EU z vsemi zadevnimi državami, zlasti s srečanji v okviru političnega dialoga in večjim številom neformalnih stikov;

| (iii) | učinkovita in dopolnilna uporaba vseh razpoložljivih instrumentov in finančnih sredstev – proračuna SZVP, instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru ter drugih instrumentov –, da bi zagotovila čim večji učinek svojih dejavnosti pri uresničevanju ciljev zunanje politike EU. |

(iii)

učinkovita in dopolnilna uporaba vseh razpoložljivih instrumentov in finančnih sredstev – proračuna SZVP, instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru ter drugih instrumentov –, da bi zagotovila čim večji učinek svojih dejavnosti pri uresničevanju ciljev zunanje politike EU.

Zato se delo tesno usklajuje s širšo varnostno politiko in dejavnostmi EU na področju preprečevanja konfliktov.

Glavni svetovalec in posebni odposlanec ESZD za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje je v drugi polovici leta 2014 zastopal EU na vrsti ključnih mednarodnih srečanj (med drugim velja omeniti zlasti Prvi odbor GSZN oktobra, skupino vodilnih uradnikov držav G7 novembra v Berlinu in posvetovanja o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju z več tretjimi državami).

V drugem polletju leta 2014 se je posebni odposlanec posebej posvečal:

| — | krepitvi prizadevanj za priznavanje Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (NPT), in sicer v kontekstu priprav na konferenco o pregledu NPT leta 2015. To ostaja med najpomembnejšimi prednostnimi nalogami EU, tudi glede na njeno neposredno relevantnost za največje regionalne širitvene izzive v Iranu in DLRK. EU je še naprej podpirala prizadevanja za vzpostavitev območja brez orožja za množično uničevanje na Bližnjem vzhodu. Posebni odposlanec je bil v stalnih stikih s finskim povezovalcem, veleposlanikom Laajavo, glede sklica helsinške konference; |

1.   JEDRSKA VPRAŠANJA

Delovna skupina Sveta EU za neširjenje orožja (CONOP) je v tesnem sodelovanju z ustreznimi delegacijami EU dejavno prispevala k pripravi stališč EU za sestanke Sveta guvernerjev MAAE septembra in novembra, pa tudi generalno konferenco MAAE, ki je potekala septembra. CONOP je med pripravo izjav EU za Prvi odbor GSZN zagotavljala strateške usmeritve o jedrskih vidikih. Ustrezne delegacije EU so usklajevale delo pri pripravi prispevkov EU za druga mednarodna srečanja, na primer Pripravljalno komisijo CTBTO, neformalna ministrska srečanja glede CTBT, posebno sejo Generalne skupščine ZN ob mednarodnem dnevu prizadevanj za preprečevanje jedrskih poskusov in Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCR) ter druga pomembna srečanja v okviru svojega mandata.

1.1   Priprave na konferenco o pregledu NPT leta 2015

Pred pregledno konferenco leta 2015 delo nadaljujejo vse tri neuradne delovne podskupine, ki pripravljajo prispevke EU za pregledni cikel NPT 2015 in jim ob sodelovanju ESZD predsedujejo države članice EU. Pripravile so prispevke za sklep Sveta o stališčih EU za konferenco o pregledu; razprave o njih so se med državami članicami EU pričele v Ženevi in na Dunaju. Sklep Sveta, ki naj bi bil sprejet v začetku leta 2015, bo služil kot podlaga za izjave EU in delovne dokumente, ki bodo predstavljeni na konferenci. Dne 11. decembra so bila na skupnem sestanku delovnih skupin Sveta EU s področja neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja na ravni direktorjev izmenjana mnenja s kandidatom za predsednika konference o pregledu NPT leta 2015 o tem, kako bi EU najbolje prispevala h konferenci. Razpravljalo se je tudi o izvajanju akcijskega načrta, ki je bil dogovorjen med konferenco o pregledu NPT leta 2010, in o izgledih za konferenco 2015.

1.2   Mednarodna agencija za atomsko energijo (MAAE)

EU je še naprej krepila podporo Mednarodni agenciji za atomsko energijo na Dunaju. Ostaja ključna donatorica Sklada za jedrsko varnost, ki mu je od leta 2004 namenila že skoraj 40 milijonov EUR (vključno z zadnjo zavezo, da bo Agenciji zagotovila 8,05 milijona EUR, in sicer na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2013/517/SZVP z dne 21. oktobra 2013, ki je v izvajanju). EU je na področju jedrske varnosti prispevala tudi strokovno znanje za dejavnosti usposabljanja ter delavnice, ki jih je pripravila MAAE in so bile namenjene tretjim državam, da bi povečale zmogljivosti za preprečevanje nedovoljene trgovine z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi snovmi. EU in MAAE sta še naprej usklajevali svojo podporo tretjim državam na tem področju. Stekle so priprave za tretji letni sestanek višjih uradnikov med EU in MAAE, ki bo 4. in 5. februarja 2015 v prostorih Evropske komisije v Luksemburgu; na njem bodo sodelovali predstavniki ESZD, Evropske komisije/Euratoma in MAAE. Namen teh srečanj višjih uradnikov je izpopolniti sodelovanje na vseh delovnih področjih MAAE, povečati prepoznavnost prispevkov EU in nadalje uskladiti ukrepe EU, da bi tako zagotovili dopolnjevanje in se izognili prekrivanju dejavnosti centrov odličnosti EU za KBRJ in MAAE na področju jedrske varnosti (v ta namen sta EU (Skupno raziskovalno središče) in MAAE podpisali tudi dokument o praktičnih podrobnostih v vodilo temu sodelovanju).

Od leta 2008 je EU s sklepi Sveta za banko MAAE za nizko obogateni uran namenila do 25 milijonov EUR. Za podporo tej banki je iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru nakazala 20 milijonov EUR. Nadaljnji prispevek v višini do 5 milijonov EUR bo na podlagi sklepa Sveta zagotovljen iz proračuna SZVP. Na odobritev Sveta bo treba še počakati, odvisno od napredka pri finalizaciji posameznih sporazumov, vključno s sporazumom o državi gostiteljici med MAAE in Kazahstanom.

Na področju jedrskih zaščitnih ukrepov Direktorat Evropske komisije za jedrske zaščitne ukrepe še naprej uporablja zaščitne ukrepe za vse civilne jedrske snovi v vseh 28 državah članicah EU; letni proračun znaša približno 20 milijonov EUR. Dejavnosti preverjanja zaščitnih ukrepov se usklajujejo v tesnem sodelovanju z MAAE.

MAAE in Komisija nenehno izpopolnjujeta svoje sodelovanje na tem področju, da bi kar najbolje izkoristili človeške in finančne vire, hkrati pa ohranili največjo možno učinkovitost zaščitnih ukrepov. EU je v okviru programa Evropske komisije za podporo jedrskim zaščitnim ukrepom MAAE še naprej znatno strokovno podpirala na področju jedrskih zaščitnih ukrepov.

Medtem ko je EU namenila 10 milijonov EUR v podporo mednarodnemu projektu za razširitev in posodobitev laboratorija za zaščitne ukrepe v avstrijskem Seibersdorfu (9,5 milijona EUR je že bilo nakazanih), pa se je MAAE obrnila na mednarodne donatorje, tudi na EU, da bi soprispevali k posodobitvi seibersdorfskega laboratorija za jedrske uporabe.

Evropska komisija je v sodelovanju z MAAE na strokovni ravni začela postopek za oceno podatkovne zbirke MAAE o nedovoljenem prometu in podporo njenemu izboljšanju glede na potrebe uporabnikov. Dokument o najboljših praksah na področju usklajene kulture poročanja je bil pripravljen in bo predložen MAAE. Priprava spletnega obrazca INF (Incident Notification Form – obrazec za obvestilo o incidentu), katerega namen je posodobitev možnosti za poročanje, je stekla oktobra 2013 in bo kmalu zaključena.

Sredstva, ki jih je EU zagotovila MAAE na podlagi skupnih ukrepov od I do IV in sklepa Sveta V, so pripomogla k napredku pri prizadevanjih MAAE za krepitev jedrske varnosti v tretjih državah, pri čemer so prednosti deležne države z največjimi potrebami na področju izboljšanja nadzora nad radioaktivnimi in jedrskimi materiali, kar bo prispevalo k zmanjšanju tveganj. Prizadevanja so bila usmerjena v krepitev zakonodajne in regulativne infrastrukture teh držav na področju jedrskih in drugih radioaktivnih snovi, ukrepe jedrske varnosti pri uporabi, skladiščenju in prevozu jedrskih in drugih radioaktivnih snovi ter v pripadajočih obratih in zmogljivosti držav za ukrepanje v zvezi z jedrskimi in radioaktivnimi snovmi, ki niso pod nacionalnim regulativnim nadzorom, da bi zadevne države lahko izpolnjevale nacionalne in mednarodne obveznosti. Najnovejši tozadevni sklep Sveta (MAAE VI, 2013/517/SZVP), sprejet 21. oktobra 2013, prispeva k nadaljnjemu izboljšanju jedrske varnosti po svetu in krepitvi evropske varnosti, saj je na njegovi podlagi MAAE dobila podporo za dejavnosti v okviru Načrta za jedrsko varnost za obdobje 2014–2017, v prvi vrsti na zgoraj navedenih področjih.

1.3   Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT)

EU si je dejavno prizadevala za čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti Pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT), pri čemer ji je bila podlaga Sklep Sveta 2012/699/SZVP z dne 13. novembra 2012 v podporo Organizaciji pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBTO), z izvajanjem prizadevanj za ozaveščanje v razmerju do vseh držav, ki še niso podpisale ali ratificirale CTBT, vključno s preostalimi državami iz Priloge II, ki bi morale ratificirati pogodbo, da bi ta lahko začela veljati. EU v različnih okvirih še naprej opozarja nanjo, tudi na sestankih v okviru političnega dialoga, da bi pripomogla k vzpostavitvi okolja, še bolj naklonjenega ratifikaciji pogodbe.

V tem duhu je posebni odposlanec za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje 8. in 9. julija v Tokiu sodeloval na medkonferenčnem zasedanju regionalnega foruma ASEAN, namenjenem neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju, in v svojih izvajanjih poudaril tako politično kot tudi finančno podporo EU univerzalizaciji in dejanski uveljavitvi CTBT.

Tedaj še kandidatka za VP/PP Federica Mogherini je na sedmem ministrskem srečanju v podporo CTBT 26. septembra v New Yorku dala izjavo.

Vodja delegacije EU na Dunaju je sodeloval pri obisku na visoki ravni, namenjenem opazovanju integriranih terenskih vaj iz inšpekcijskih pregledov na kraju samem za leto 2014, ki so potekale od 14. do 17. novembra v Jordaniji.

Jedrski poskus, ki ga je 12. februarja 2013 izvedla DLRK, in nevarnost nadaljnjih poskusov jasno kažeta dejansko vrednost mednarodnega sistema spremljanja v okviru CTBTO, ki je trenutno v razvoju in ga EU podpira s sklepi Sveta. Mobilizirane so ekipe CTBTO, ki vsem državam podpisnicam CTBT strežejo hot-line podatke v podporo pri sprejemanju odločitev. Prizadevanja v zvezi z vzdrževanjem 321 seizmoloških pomožnih postaj, za kar je bila zagotovljena pomoč na podlagi skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta od I do V, in implementacija Mednarodnega podatkovnega središča CTBTO, ki zbira, analizira in izmenjuje podatke, ki jih zagotavlja mreža postaj, bodo prispevali k potrebni vzdržnosti sistema. Nadalje je izredno pomembno, da se podpre začasni tehnični sekretariat CTBTO pri izvajanju nadaljnjih vaj, kot na primer tistih, ki so potekale v Jordaniji, za preskus in izboljšanje operativnih zmogljivosti režima inšpekcijskih pregledov na kraju samem.

1.4   Regionalne zadeve (Iran, DLRK)

EU je še naprej v celoti podpirala trenutna prizadevanja za diplomatsko rešitev iranskega jedrskega vprašanja s pogajanji in na podlagi Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja ter celovitega izvajanja vseh ustreznih resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN in Sveta guvernerjev MAAE. Začasni sporazum, znan kot skupni akcijski načrt, dosežen med E3/EU+3 in Iranom novembra 2013 v Ženevi, je začel veljati 20. januarja 2014 s sklepom Sveta za zunanje zadeve. Po začetku izvajanja skupnega akcijskega načrta je visoka predstavnica EU skupaj s političnimi direktorji E3+3 (Kitajska, Francija, Nemčija, Rusija, Združeno kraljestvo in Združene države Amerike) začela pogajanja z Iranom s ciljem doseči dolgoročno celovito rešitev iranskega jedrskega vprašanja, kot je predvideno v skupnem akcijskem načrtu. Med novembrskim krogom pogovorov E3/EU+3 na Dunaju so se vse strani strinjale o podaljšanju ukrepov iz skupnega akcijskega načrta do 30. junija 2015 zaradi nadaljnjih pogajanj. Okvir za sodelovanje med MAAE in Iranom, ki je vzporeden s smerjo E3/EU+3, pa je namenjen reševanju vseh sedanjih in preteklih odprtih vprašanj, vključno s tistimi, ki so povezana z možnimi vojaškimi razsežnostmi. Na podlagi tega okvira za sodelovanje sta februarja in maja potekala dva tehnična sestanka. Vendar pa Iran še ni uresničil dveh preostalih praktičnih ukrepov niti ni predlagal novih praktičnih ukrepov v sklopu tretjega koraka okvira za sodelovanje, čeprav ga je agencija k temu večkrat pozvala.

EU je še naprej zaskrbljena, ker Iran razvija in preskuša balistične izstrelke in vesoljske nosilne rakete, s čimer krši resolucije VSZN 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 in 1929. EU je večkrat obsodila te dejavnosti, saj že same po sebi predstavljajo nevarnost, da bi bila jedrska eksplozivna naprava uporabljena kot orožje. Skupni akcijski načrt iz novembra 2013 predvideva, da bi bilo treba v okviru celovite rešitve izvajati vse ustrezne določbe vseh resolucij VSZN glede Irana, vključno z operativnim odstavkom 9 RVSZN 1929.

Kar zadeva DLRK, je EU še naprej zelo zaskrbljena zaradi sedanjega razvoja njenih jedrskih programov in programov balističnih izstrelkov ter dejstva, da je okrepitev jedrskih zmogljivosti politična prednostna naloga režima. EU je to državo še naprej odločno pozivala, naj izpolnjuje obveznosti, ki jih je sprejela z ustreznimi resolucijami Varnostnega sveta ZN, ter med drugim v celoti, preverljivo in nepovratno opusti jedrske programe in programe balističnih izstrelkov. EU je še naprej pozivala DLRK, naj znova v celoti izpolnjuje obveznosti glede nadzornih ukrepov iz Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in o nadzornih ukrepih MAAE ter MAAE omogoči zahtevani dostop do posameznikov, dokumentacije, opreme in obratov. EU se je stalno zavzemala za nadaljevanje procesa šeststranskih pogovorov ter pozivala DLRK, naj se vrne k verodostojnim in resnim mednarodnim pogajanjem. Poleg izvajanja resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN je uvedla tudi dodatne avtonomne omejevalne ukrepe, vključno z okrepljenim nadzorom nad blagom z dvojno rabo in širjenjem konvencionalnega orožja. EU je DLRK ponovno pozvala, naj ratificira CTBT in se vzdrži vseh nadaljnjih izzivalnih dejanj. DLRK je pred kratkim zagrozila z novim jedrskim poskusom in še naprej kljubuje resolucijam VSZN 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 in 2094; nedavno jih je kršila z izstrelitvijo izstrelkov kratkega in srednjega dosega, vključno z balističnimi izstrelki. To ravnanje je uradni govorec VP kar najostreje obsodil.

2.   RAZOROŽITVENA KONFERENCA/POGODBA O PREPOVEDI PROIZVODNJE CEPLJIVIH MATERIALOV ZA JEDRSKO OROŽJE ALI DRUGA JEDRSKA EKSPLOZIVNA TELESA

V Resoluciji A/RES/69/76, ki jo je Generalna skupščina Združenih narodov sprejela o Poročilu o Razorožitveni konferenci (predložila ga je Malezija), je Konferenca ponovno pozvana, naj še bolj okrepi posvetovanja in preuči možnosti, kako bi bilo mogoče s sprejetjem in uveljavitvijo uravnoteženega in celovitega delovnega programa čim prej v času zasedanja leta 2015 preseči trenutni zastoj. Resolucija pozdravlja odločitev Razorožitvene konference, da se ponovno vzpostavi neformalna delovna skupina z nalogo, da pripravi delovni program, pa tudi dejstvo, da je v okviru Konference potekal niz strukturiranih in vsebinskih neformalnih razprav o vseh točkah agende. Poudarja, kako pomembno je, da se v letu 2015 nadaljujejo posvetovanja v zvezi z vprašanjem širitve članstva Razorožitvene konference.

EU je izrazila razočaranje, da Razorožitveni konferenci ni uspelo začeti vsebinskega dela, vključno s pogajanji. Vendar pa je opozorila na spodbudne premike, kot na primer ponovno vzpostavitev neformalne delovne skupine za pomoč pri pripravi delovnega programa in strukturiranih razprav v skladu z razporedom dejavnosti. EU je izrazila upanje, da bo te vaje mogoče nadgrajevati še naprej. EU je ponovno opozorila na svojo dolgoletno zavezanost širitvi Konference in posebej poudarila, kako pomembno je nadaljevati posvetovanja o povečanju števila članic, ter izrazila močno podporo imenovanju posebnega koordinatorja za širitev članstva. EU je skladno s svojim sodelovanjem s civilno družbo podpirala poglobljeno interakcijo med civilno družbo in Konferenco, da bi nevladne organizacije in raziskovalne institucije na vključujoč način lahko več prispevale k delu Konference.

Češka republika je v imenu neformalne skupine držav opazovalk podala izjavo, v kateri poudarja, kako bistvena je širitev Razorožitvene konference, tudi kot korak, ki lahko Konferenci pomaga ponovno pridobiti verodostojnost.

Ena od prednostnih nalog za Evropsko unijo ostaja takojšnji začetek in čim prejšnji zaključek pogajanj v okviru Razorožitvene konference glede pogodbe o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa na podlagi dokumenta CD/1299 in mandata, ki izhaja iz njega. Državnovarnostni pomisleki so sicer legitimni, vendar se je treba o njih pogovarjati v okviru pogajalskega procesa, ne pa da so predpogoj. EU je apelirala na delegacije, naj bodo prožne. EU je pozvala vse države članice Razorožitvene konference, naj se začno o tej pogodbi pogajati brez odlašanja in se lotijo tudi drugih vprašanj z agende v skladu s sprejetim delovnim programom iz CD/1864. Prav tako je pozvala vse države, ki imajo jedrsko in tega še niso storile, naj razglasijo in spoštujejo takojšen moratorij na proizvodnjo cepljivih snovi za izdelavo jedrskega orožja ali drugih jedrskih eksplozivnih naprav. Pozdravila je konstruktivne razprave na sestankih skupine vladnih strokovnjakov, ki sta potekala leta 2014, in povedala, da z zanimanjem pričakuje poročilo predsednika navedene skupine in sestanke v letu 2015 v pričakovanju nadaljnjega vsebinskega napredka pri tem vprašanju.

3.   KEMIČNO OROŽJE

EU je v Organizacijo za prepoved kemičnega orožja (OPCW) skupno prispevala domala 17 milijonov EUR za izničenje sirskega programa kemičnega orožja. To je storila tako, da je sinergijsko uporabila finančne instrumente, ki so ji na razpolago (SZVP ter instrument za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru), in prispevala tako v naravi (oklepna vozila in satelitske posnetke) kot finančno (12 milijonov EUR za skrbniški sklad OPCW). Na prošnjo OPCW je bil Sklep Sveta 2013/726/SZVP, na podlagi katerega se zagotavljajo satelitski posnetki za varnost in učinkovitost operacij v Siriji, brez stroškov podaljšan do 30. septembra 2015, saj so bile zaradi zamud pri načrtih za uničenje sirskega kemičnega orožja ustrezne operacije podaljšane v leto 2015.

S Sklepom Sveta 2014/74/SZVP z dne 10. februarja 2014 in Uredbo Sveta (EU) št. 124/2014 z dne 10. februarja 2014 se je uvedlo odstopanje, v skladu s katerim se lahko zamrznjena sirska sredstva uporabijo za kritje stroškov v zvezi z dejavnostmi preverjanja in uničevanja OPCW v Siriji. EU je novembra 2014 poslala pismo generalnemu direktorju OPCW, v katerem ga je obvestila o tej možnosti in pozvala, naj sirskim oblastem izroči tozadevno demaršo. Po tretji pregledni konferenci Konvencije o kemičnem orožju (CWC) je EU ostala osredotočena na svoje prednostne naloge, med drugim zlasti na: (i) dokončno uničenje vseh obstoječih nakopičenih zalog; (ii) spodbujanje univerzalnosti te konvencije (14. oktobra 2013 je Sirija postala 190. pogodbenica Konvencije); (iii) izvajanje na ravni držav v skladu s členom VII; (iv) preusmeritev v prizadevanja za preprečevanje širjenja in (v) spodbujanje razvoja zmogljivosti na področju varnosti in varovanja v kemični industriji v državah v razvoju v skladu s členom XI ter odzivanja na uporabo kemičnega orožja v skladu s členom X.

Čeprav je treba nekatere začetne temeljne cilje CWC še dokončati, EU in njene države članice že razmišljajo o fazi po uničenju kemičnega orožja in postopoma začenjajo obravnavati izzive v zvezi z relevantnostjo v prihodnje (tj. prepoved ponovne pojavitve kemičnega orožja, uporaba med nedržavnimi akterji in teroristi, zbliževanje z biologijo), in s tem učinkovitost konvencije. Novi sklep Sveta za obdobje 2015–2016 v podporo OPCW temelji prav na tej refleksiji.

Z vidika učinka podpore EU so vse izbrane države, ki so prejele pomoč, ta sredstva uporabile za odpravo kritičnih tehničnih pomanjkljivosti, s čimer so lahko znatno napredovale pri izvajanju konvencije na nacionalni ravni. Dejansko je mogoče ugotoviti, da so sklepi Sveta EU še vedno edini možni način zagotavljanja te vrste pomoči za odpravo pomanjkljivosti na področju izvajanja. Približno polovica nacionalnih izvedbenih podprojektov od skupaj devetdesetih, ki jih je uresničil tehnični sekretariat OPCW v zadnjih letih, ne bi bila izvedena, če ne bi imeli na voljo sredstev, zagotovljenih s skupnimi ukrepi/sklepi Sveta. Kar zadeva spodbujanje univerzalnosti, ki je prednostna naloga EU, se je konvenciji od takrat, ko je bil sprejet prvi skupni ukrep, pridružilo devetnajst držav, in štiri države od tistih, ki so se ji pridružile leta 2005, so sodelovale v informativnih dejavnostih, ki se financirajo na podlagi skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta; to velja tudi za vse države, ki so se pridružile v naslednjih letih. OPCW je v okviru prizadevanj za univerzalizacijo s sredstvi EU na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2012/166/SZVP organizirala seminar s predstavniki izraelskih medijev, ki jim je predstavila dosežke organizacije in prihodnje izzive (8. decembra 2014 na sedežu OPCW).

4.   BIOLOŠKO OROŽJE

Po sedmi pregledni konferenci Konvencije o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja (BTWC) (Ženeva, december 2011) je EU dejavno sodelovala pri medkonferenčnem procesu ter pripravila več izjav in posebnih delovnih dokumentov o: 1) mednarodnem sodelovanju in pomoči; 2) intenzivnejšem izvajanju na nacionalni ravni; 3) krepitvi zmogljivosti za biološko varnost in biološko zaščito. Delegacija EU je posredovala izjave EU na srečanju strokovnjakov (Ženeva, od 4. do 8. avgusta 2014) in srečanju držav pogodbenic (Ženeva, od 1. do 5. decembra 2014). V okviru slednjega je EU dala predlog za vzpostavitev pripravljalnega mehanizma za neformalna srečanja v okviru priprave osme pregledne konference, ki bo leta 2016, prav tako pa se je že lotila priprave skupnega stališča za to konferenco.

V drugi polovici leta 2014 je bilo z ukrepanjem EU med drugim doseženo širjenje globlje ozaveščenosti o BTWC v Aziji in Latinski Ameriki, vključno z izboljšanim razumevanjem BTWC med pristojnimi nacionalnimi organi in/ali okrepljenim podregionalnim povezovanjem v mreže in spodbujanjem prostovoljnega izvajanja BTWC pred njeno ratifikacijo.

Z izvajanjem Sklepa Sveta 2012/421/SZVP z dne 23. julija 2012 so nacionalne delavnice v okviru programov pomoči pripomogle k okrepljenemu razumevanju BTWC med pristojnimi nacionalnimi organi in civilno družbo, okrepile regionalno povezovanje v mreže za spodbujanje izvajanja BTWC in opredelile potrebe po izboljšanju izvajanja BTWC. Delavnice je organizirala UNODA v Kolumbiji (6. in 7. marca ter 12. in 13. junija), kjer je bila zakonodajna pomoč zaključena od 9. do 11. septembra, in Mongoliji (29. aprila), kjer je bila zakonodajna pomoč zaključena od 1. do 3. oktobra. Prav tako je od 10. do 15. novembra v Mongoliji potekala delavnica na temo pomoči na področju biološke varnosti, 11. in 12. decembra 2014 pa usposabljanje iz upravljanja biološko nevarnih odpadkov.

EU se je tudi zavezala, da bo podpirala izboljšanje biološke varnosti in biološke zaščite. V tej zvezi je bilo s Sklepom Sveta 2013/668/SZVP, ki je bil sprejet 18. novembra 2013, zagotovljenih več kot 1,7 milijona EUR za podporo, prek tehničnega strokovnega znanja Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije, projektom, namenjenim spodbujanju poznavanja bioloških nevarnosti, upravljanja bioloških nevarnostih v laboratorijih in razvoju nacionalnih strategij za preprečevanje bioloških nevarnosti v laboratorijih v nekaterih izbranih državah pogodbenicah.

5.   BALISTIČNI IZSTRELKI

5.1   Haaški kodeks ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov (HCoC)

EU meni, da je Haaški kodeks ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov (HCoC) edinstven večstranski instrument, katerega namen je z ukrepi za preglednost in utrjevanje zaupanja prispevati k obvladovanju širjenja sistemov balističnih izstrelkov in z njim povezanih tehnologij, ter ga je že od začetka odločno podpirala. Vse države članice EU so pristopile h kodeksu. EU še naprej podpira vse tri vidike kodeksa: univerzalnost, izvajanje ter razširitev kodeksa in izboljšanje njegovega delovanja.

Na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2012/423/SZVP v podporo Haaškemu kodeksu ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov na splošno in po dveh regionalnih seminarjih novembra 2013 v Singapurju oziroma aprila 2014 v Abu Dabiju je bil julija 2014 v Limi (v Peruju) organiziran še tretji.

EU je oktobra 2014 ob robu Prvega odbora GSZN organizirala še en drug stranski dogodek; za njegovo koordinacijo je poskrbela delegacija EU v New Yorku. Prepoznavnost EU je bila zagotovljena, med drugim s sodelovanjem vodje delegacije EU in jasnim sporočilom glede financiranja s strani EU, ki so ga omenili skoraj vsi govorniki. Tokrat je bil prvič na voljo neposreden prenos dogodka in razprav na prek spleta.

Države članice EU se ukvarjajo z obnovitvijo podpore neširjenju balističnih izstrelkov z novim sklepom Sveta.

5.2   MTCR

Plenarno zasedanje MTCR je v letu 2014 potekalo od 1. do 3. oktobra v Oslu, kjer je EU dala izjavo.

Tri države EU izmed EU9 so obnovile svojo prošnjo za članstvo v MTCR: Romunija, Estonija in Slovenija.

Luksemburg in Nizozemska sta predstavila svojo skupno kandidaturo za predsedovanje MTCR 2015–2016, potem ko je kandidaturo umaknila Ukrajina.

6.   ZMANJŠEVANJE TVEGANJA NA PODROČJU KBRJ

EU še naprej dosega napredek pri izvajanju akcijskega načrta EU na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti (KBRJ), ki je bil sprejet leta 2009; v okviru programa ISEC za preprečevanje kriminala in boj proti njemu je doslej dobilo podporo okrog trideset projektov.

Poleg tega vrsta raziskovalnih projektov, ki so povezani s KBRJ in se financirajo iz sredstev programa za varno družbo v okviru sedmega okvirnega programa, zagotavlja znanstveno in tehnično podporo akcijskemu načrtu na področju KBRJ z znanstvenim razvojem, ki zajema celoten cikel kriznega upravljanja (od preprečevanja do obnove). Izvajajo se tudi dejavnosti za opredelitev potreb po standardizaciji na tem področju, na podlagi katerih bi lahko oblikovali „evropske normativne“ (EN) standarde. Program Obzorje 2020 (2014—2020) bo izboljšal sedanja prizadevanja na področju raziskav, povezanih s KBRJ, z usmerjenimi temami, za katere je bil delovni program sprejet 10. decembra 2013.

V poročilu o napredku pri izvajanju akcijskega načrta iz leta 2012 so navedeni najpomembnejši dosežki, zlasti v zvezi z intenzivnejšo izmenjavo informacij in dobrih praks, organizacijo skupnih usposabljanj in dogovorom o treh seznamih zelo tveganih snovi, ki jih je EU pripravila na področju kemične, biološke oziroma radiološke in jedrske varnosti.

Da bi izvedli sedanji akcijski načrt do leta 2015 in določili novo agendo KBRJ-E, Komisija tesno sodeluje z organi držav članic in drugimi interesnimi skupinami v svetovalni skupini za KBRJ-E in njenih podskupinah, ki se redno srečujejo.

Maja 2014 je Evropska komisija sprejela sporočilo o novem pristopu EU k odkrivanju in zmanjševanju tveganj KBRJ-E (dokument COM(2014) 247 final). V sporočilu Komisija predlaga, naj se olajša praktično sodelovanje pri odkrivanju in zmanjševanju tveganj KBRJ-E na ravni EU, vključno s sodelovanjem z industrijo, upravljavci objektov, ki ravnajo s KBRJ-E materiali (izdelovalci opreme in izvajalci varnostnih storitev) in drugimi deležniki. Dokument vsebuje nabor 30 ukrepov, ki jih bodo v zelo bližnji prihodnosti implementirale različne službe Komisije v sodelovanju z državami članicami. Razvita bodo konkretna orodja, od usmerjevalnih gradiv, usposabljanja in ozaveščanja do dejavnosti preskušanja.

Pobudo o „centrih odličnosti EU za KBRJ“, ki se financira iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru, je EU zagnala maja 2010. Centri odličnosti EU za KBRJ se ustanavljajo zaradi spoznanja, da v mnogih državah nimajo zadostnih institucionalnih zmogljivosti za zmanjšanje tveganja KBRJ: kaznivih dejanj (širjenje KBRJ-snovi ali terorizem), naravnih (zoonoza in epidemije) in slučajnih nesreč (industrijskih razsežnosti). Njihov cilj je oblikovanje politike na nacionalni in regionalni ravni ob upoštevanju vseh nevarnosti KBRJ, s katero bi predvideli to tveganje in se nanj odzvali. Pri tem gre na kratko povedano za strukturne ukrepe za zmanjšanje ogroženosti držav zaradi dogodkov v zvezi s KBRJ, kar je vzajemni varnostni interes regij in EU.

Ta cilj je mogoče doseči s spodbujanjem vzpostavljanja strokovnih mrež za pravna, regulativna, tehnična, nadzorna in izvršilna vprašanja v zvezi z zmanjševanjem nevarnosti na področju KBRJ.

Ustanovljenih je bilo sedem regionalnih središč: 1. severna Afrika (Alžir), 2. afriška atlantska obala (Rabat), 3. Bližnji vzhod (Aman), 4. jugovzhodna Evropa – južni Kavkaz – Republika Moldavija – Ukrajina (Tbilisi), 5. jugovzhodna Azija (Manila), 6. podsaharska Afrika (Nairobi) in 7. zalivske države (Abu Dabi), ki že delajo. Naslednji korak bo odprtje regionalnega sekretariata v srednji Aziji (Taškent – še ni potrjeno). Poleg štiridesetih že oddanih projektov v skupnem znesku 50 milijonov EUR so bili z različnimi konzorciji, tudi iz držav članic, v zadnjem času dogovorjeni novi projekti v vrednosti približno 10 milijonov EUR.

7.   MOŽGANSKI TRUSTI

Delo EU v okviru strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje je na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2010/430/SZVP z dne 26. julija 2010 dejavno podprl konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja, ki je začel delovati januarja 2011. Z novim sklepom, sprejetim 10. marca 2014, so bile dejavnosti konzorcija podaljšane še za tri leta, tako z nadgradnjo dosežkov in izkušenj, pridobljenih v obdobju 2011–2013, kot tudi z dodajanjem novih in inovativnih projektov. In sicer gre za do sedem ad hoc seminarjev (za 45 ciljnih posameznikov, ki se določijo od primera do primera, znotraj EU ali do tri zunaj EU); službo za pomoč za izdelavo do dvajset 5–10 strani dolgih političnih dokumentov v dveh tednih na zahtevo ESZD; razvoj izobraževalnega orodja za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje (evropskega spletnega kurikula za univerzitetno uporabo, ki mora biti na voljo 24 mesecev po začetku pogodbe). Po uspešnih dejavnostih, organiziranih v obdobju 2011–2013, je 4. in 5. septembra 2014 potekala tretja mednarodna letna konferenca o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju, 3. in 4. novembra 2014 pa tretje posvetovalno srečanje konzorcija EU. Po prvih dveh ad hoc seminarjih (o BTWC in skladnosti 24. aprila ter o območju brez orožja za množično uničevanje na Bližnjem vzhodu 18. in 19. junija) je bil od 23. do 25. avgusta v Alpbachu še tretji seminar, na temo prihodnosti jedrske energije. Konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja je pripravil tudi prvih pet političnih dokumentov službe za pomoč: 1) Osma konferenca o pregledu BTWC v letu 2016 in vloga Evropske unije; 2) Smrtonosni avtonomni orožni sistemi; 3) Prizadevanja za uspešen izid konference o pregledu NPT leta 2015; 4) Ali bi bilo virus ebole mogoče uporabiti kot orožje; 5) Pobuda za pravno zavezujoč mednarodni sporazum o prepovedi balističnih izstrelkov zemlja–zemlja.

Z vidika učinka so dejavnosti konzorcija izboljšale prepoznavnost EU v primerjavi s tretjimi državami in civilno družbo in bistveno prispevale k oblikovanju politike EU na področju neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja. Konzorcij zagotavlja platformo za neformalne stike med oblikovalci politik in pomaga pri spodbujanju dialoga med različnimi deležniki. Mreža konzorcija šteje več kot 65 možganskih trustov po vsej Evropi. Njegova dejavnost je prispevala k boljši ozaveščenosti glede jedrskih, kemičnih in bioloških izzivov.

8.   RESOLUCIJA VARNOSTNEGA SVETA ZDRUŽENIH NARODOV 1540 IN NADZOR IZVOZA

(a)   RVSZN 1540

Sklep Sveta v podporo RVSZN 1540, ki ga je Svet sprejel 22. julija 2013, izvaja UNODA, ki organizira regionalne delavnice in obiske za pomoč državam po vsem svetu. Izvajanje tega sklepa Sveta podkrepljuje ustrezna nacionalna in regionalna prizadevanja, prispeva k praktičnemu uresničevanju priporočil iz celovitega pregleda statusa izvajanja RVSZN 1540, ki je bil pripravljen leta 2009, ter poraja in razvija nacionalne akcijske načrte na zahtevo držav.

UNODA je podpisala sporazum z OVSE, s katerim naj bi ustvarili sinergije v podporo RVSZN 1540. Za sinergije in usklajevanje, s katerim naj bi preprečili podvajanje, naj bi si prizadevali tudi centri odličnosti EU za KBRJ. S sredstvi EU je bilo organiziranih že sedem dogodkov, zadnji je potekal novembra 2014 v Seulu.

(b)   Nadzor izvoza

Svet je po tem, ko je bilo 24. aprila 2014 sprejeto sporočilo Komisije o pregledu režima EU za nadzor nad izvozom, v katerem so opredeljene konkretne politične možnosti za posodobitev in prilagoditev nadzora nad izvozom hitro spreminjajočim se tehnološkim, gospodarskim in političnim okoliščinam, 21. novembra 2014 sprejel sklepe, v katerih je orisal svoja stališča do pregleda politike nadzora izvora. Evropski parlament pa je 24. novembra javno razpravljal o navedenem sporočilu in bo razpravo nadaljeval z javnim zaslišanjem januarja 2015. Vzporedno s tem je Komisija začela „oceno učinka“ možnosti za pregled, orisanih v tem sporočilu, da se prepoznajo najprimernejši regulativni in neregulativni ukrepi za njihovo uveljavitev. Decembra 2014 je bila podpisana pogodba o zbiranju podatkov, na katere bo oprta ocena učinka.

Kar zadeva predpise, je na podlagi prenosa pristojnosti, ki ga omogoča Uredba (EU) št. 599/2014, Komisija 22. oktobra 2014 sprejela delegirano uredbo, s katero je bil v luči odločitev, sprejetih v okviru večstranskih ureditev za nadzor izvoza v letih 2011, 2012 in 2013, posodobljen nadzorni seznam EU. Delegirana uredba je začela veljati decembra 2014.

Izvajanje nadzora nad izvozom je bilo deležno podpore na treh sestankih Usklajevalne skupine za blago z dvojno rabo v drugi polovici leta 2014, s poudarkom predvsem na uvedbi novih funkcionalnosti „elektronskega sistema za dvojno rabo“, posodobitvi smernic EU o posvetovanjih med pristojnimi organi, zbiranju podatkov o izdajanju dovoljenj in izmenjavi podatkov o različnih vprašanjih v zvezi z nadzorom.

Prišlo je do usklajevanja EU, da bi dogovorjena stališča EU uveljavljali na ustreznih sestankih glede režimov za nadzor izvoza, organiziranih v drugem polletju leta 2014 (skupina držav dobaviteljic jedrskega blaga: posvetovalna skupina novembra 2014 na Dunaju; Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije: plenarno zasedanje oktobra v Oslu). Na plenarnem zasedanju Avstralske skupine junija 2014 je bilo predstavljeno, kako EU pristopa k nadzoru nad neopredmetenim prenosom tehnologije, decembra 2014 pa je bil razposlan dokument o odzivanju EU na agense na osnovi zdravil.

Nadaljevalo se je izvajanje programa EU za ozaveščanje o nadzoru nad izvozom, namenjenega izboljšanju upravnih in tehničnih zmogljivosti (23) tretjih držav pri ravnanju z blagom za dvojno rabo. Program ozaveščanja je pokazal, da je sodelovanje s kitajskimi organi za nadzor nad izvozom dobro; iz njega je izšla skupna publikacija o nadzoru nad izvozom. Posebna pozornost je šla še naprej uvajanju dejavnosti nadzora nad izvozom z Jordanijo in Kazahstanom. Program se financira iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru.

9.   VESOLJE

EU od leta 2007 spodbuja oblikovanje mednarodnega kodeksa ravnanja za dejavnosti v vesolju. Ta sklop mednarodnih in neobveznih smernic in ukrepov za krepitev zaupanja je namenjen izboljšanju varnosti, zaščite in predvidljivosti vseh vesoljskih dejavnosti. S temi smernicami naj bi med drugim omejili ali zmanjšali škodljive posege, nevarnost trkov ali nesreč v vesolju ter nastajanje odpadkov. V njem naj bi določili temeljna pravila, ki naj bi jih upoštevale države, ki opravljajo polete v vesolje, pri civilnih in vojaških dejavnostih v vesolju.

EU je imela tri kroge večstranskih odprtih posvetovanj o osnutku kodeksa: v Kijevu (maja 2013), Bangkoku (novembra 2013) in Luxembourgu (maja 2014). Skupno je pri posvetovanjih sodelovalo 95 držav članic ZN (pri vsakem krogu je bilo navzočih 61 držav). Odprta posvetovanja, sklenjena s srečanjem v Luxembourgu, so odigrala dragoceno vlogo pri prizadevanjih za boljše razumevanje stališč in zadržkov sodelujočih držav. Ob koncu srečanja je predsednik ugotovil, da je pobuda deležna širokega mednarodnega zanimanja. Mnogo držav je izrazilo željo, naj proces preide v pogajalsko fazo, v kateri bi osnutek kodeksa, izdelan v okviru posvetovanj, lahko služil kot podlaga za bodoča večstranska pogajanj.

V drugi polovici leta 2014 je EU še naprej države članice ZN na široko ozaveščala o zadevnem kodeksu ravnanja in v tem okviru skušala ugotoviti možnosti za prehod na pogajalsko fazo. EU je 16. oktobra 2014 realizirala stranski dogodek ob robu Prvega odbora GSZN na temo mednarodnega kodeksa ravnanja, na katerem so sodelovali visoka predstavnica ZN za razoroževanje Angela Kane, indijski veleposlanik pri Razorožitveni konferenci Venkateš Varma in soustanovitelj Stimsonovega centra Michael Krepon.

10.   KLAVZULE O NEŠIRJENJU OROŽJA ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE

EU je v skladu s strategijo proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje še naprej vključevala načelo o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v svoje pogodbene odnose s tretjimi državami. Potekala so nadaljnja pogajanja o klavzulah o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v zadevnih sporazumih med EU in tretjimi državami, zlasti z Malezijo. Pogajanja prispevajo k boljši ozaveščenosti glede politik EU o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju ter zagotavljajo forum za izboljšanje vzajemnega razumevanja zadevnih stališč in opredeljevanje možnih področij za prihodnje sodelovanje ter spodbujajo partnerske države h konkretnim dosežkom v zvezi z mednarodnim režimom za neširjenje orožja.

11.   DRUGI VEČSTRANSKI FORUMI

G7

EU se je še naprej dejavno udejstvovala na sestankih vodilnih uradnikov, pristojnih za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje (Berlin, november 2014).

Globalno partnerstvo se je od vzpostavitve leta 2002 razširilo v platformo za usklajevanje in sodelovanje; v njem zdaj sodeluje 20 dodatnih partneric. Voditelji so se na vrhu maja 2011 v Deauvillu dogovorili o nadaljnji okrepitvi biološke varnosti, izvajanja RVSZN 1540 in jedrske varnosti. To agendo so ZDA v letu 2012, Združeno kraljestvo v letu 2013 in Rusija do suspenza iz G8 v letu 2014 pripeljale naprej, zlasti z okrepitvijo petih obstoječih delovnih podskupin za biološko, kemično in jedrsko varnost, centre odličnosti ter ozaveščanje in širjenje v okviru Delovne skupine za globalno partnerstvo. Po izključitvi Rusije se delo po vzoru globalnega partnerstva nadaljuje v okviru G7. Centri odličnosti EU še naprej uživajo ugledno mesto v okviru delovne podskupine za centre odličnosti v okviru globalnega partnerstva, zlasti kot orodje za lažjo izmenjavo informacij na regionalni ravni in po možnosti v izogib podvajanju med donatorji. EU se pridružuje nemškim prednostnim nalogam, opredeljenim za obdobje predsedovanja 2014–2015, zlasti kar zadeva biološke znanosti, ki se uvrščajo med najpomembnejše točke zadevne agende. Cilji so boljše varovanje in vodenje evidenc materialov, okrepitev nadzora nad boleznimi in odzivanja v izrednih razmerah (tj. v kontekstu ebole in drugih pandemij), okrepitev nacionalnih in globalnih mrež ter okrepitev varnega in odgovornega postopanja v bioloških znanostih. To je v skladu s pomembno vlogo, ki jo EU že ima pri bioloških znanostih na podlagi sklepov Sveta o BTWC in SZO in s tremi, kmalu štirimi mobilnimi laboratoriji EU, ki so od maja 2014 razmeščeni v Zahodni Afriki. Trenutno se preučujejo še drugi projekti, povezani s „sanitarnim kordonom“ okoli Gvineje, Sierre Leone in Liberije.

Mednarodni znanstveni in tehnološki center

EU je dejavno prispevala k pogajanjem o sprejetju posodobljenega sporazuma o Mednarodnem znanstvenem in tehnološkem centru (ISTC – International Science and Technology Center). ISTC naj bi pritegnil znanstvenike in inženirje s poznavanjem dvojne rabe pri miroljubnih raziskovalnih dejavnostih ali komercialnih programih z EU in drugimi partnerji. Poznavanje dvojne rabe skuša širiti s preusmeritvijo in prerazporeditvijo ustreznih znanstvenikov, s čimer bi lahko prispeval k zagotavljanju dolgoročnih rešitev za krize v zvezi s širjenjem orožja. EU je med pogajanji poudarjala, da je treba doseči dogovor, ki bo ISTC omogočal izvajati projekte, ki bi lahko učinkovito pripomogli k premagovanju izzivov na področjih, povezanih s širjenjem orožja, tudi na Bližnjem vzhodu. Junija 2014 je bil v Astani odprt podružnični urad ISTC.

12.   SREČANJA V OKVIRU POLITIČNEGA DIALOGA
