POLLETNO POROČILO O NAPREDKU PRI IZVAJANJU STRATEGIJE EU PROTI ŠIRJENJU OROŽJA ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE (2015/I)

(2015/C 296/01)

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 prvi polovici leta 2015.

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; |

(iii)

učinkovita in dopolnilna uporaba vseh razpoložljivih instrumentov in finančnih sredstev – proračuna v okviru SZVP, instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru ter drugih instrumentov –, da bi zagotovili čim večji učinek 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 prvi polovici leta 2015 zastopal EU na vrsti ključnih mednarodnih srečanj (omeniti velja zlasti srečanji skupine vodilnih uradnikov držav G7 januarja v Aachnu in marca v Hamburgu, konferenco o pregledu Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja leta 2015, ki je potekala aprila in maja, ter posvetovanja o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju z več tretjimi državami).

V prvem polletju leta 2015 se je posebni odposlanec posebej posvečal:

| — | krepitvi prizadevanj za priznavanje Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (NPT), zlasti v okviru 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 konferenco o pregledu NPT leta 2015 aprila in maja, sestanka Sveta guvernerjev MAAE marca in junija, okrepljeni sestanek kontaktnih točk v okviru Režima za nadzor nad raketno tehnologijo (MTCR) marca, redni letni sestanek v okviru Haaškega kodeksa ravnanja maja ter plenarni zasedanji držav, ki sodelujejo pri Svetovni pobudi za boj proti jedrskemu terorizmu (GICNT), in Skupine držav dobaviteljic jedrskega blaga (NSG) junija. Ustrezne delegacije EU so usklajevale delo pri pripravi prispevkov EU za druga mednarodna srečanja, na primer Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO in njenih pomožnih teles, ter druga pomembna srečanja v okviru svojih pristojnosti.

1.1   Konferenca o pregledu NPT leta 2015 (New York, 27. april – 22. maj 2015)

Svet je 20. aprila sprejel sklepe s stališči EU za deveto pregledno konferenco pogodbenic NPT (dok. 8079/15). Na podlagi teh sklepov so bile dokončno oblikovane splošna izjava EU in posamezne izjave EU za vsakega od treh glavnih odborov pregledne konference, ki so bile predstavljene na dogodku. Visoka predstavnica in podpredsednica Federica Mogherini je splošno izjavo EU dala drugi dan konference (28. aprila). EU je na konferenci predložila tri delovne dokumente, in sicer o (1) CTBT, (2) zaščitnih ukrepih in (3) novi varnostni direktivi Euratom. Organizirala je dva spremljevalna dogodka: prvega 8. maja v podporo Haaškemu kodeksu ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov, drugega pa 14. maja o jedrski varnosti in zaščiti. Čeprav udeleženci pregledne konference niso mogli sprejeti soglasnega sklepnega dokumenta, je akcijski načrt, sprejet na konferenci o pregledu NPT leta 2010, še naprej veljaven, EU pa bo tudi v prihodnje spodbujala njegovo celovito, uravnoteženo in vsebinsko celostno izvajanje.

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. Tretji letni sestanek višjih uradnikov med EU in MAAE je potekal 4. in 5. februarja 2015 v prostorih Evropske komisije v Luxembourgu, na njem pa so 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 EU – prek Skupnega raziskovalnega središča Evropske komisije – in MAAE izvajata dogovor o praktičnih podrobnostih, ki ureja njuno sodelovanje).

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, odvisna pa je od napredka pri finalizaciji in odobritvi 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.

EU je v okviru novega instrumenta za sodelovanje na področju jedrske varnosti za obdobje 2014–2020 namenila 3,5 milijona EUR v podporo projektom za sodelovanje na področju jedrske varnosti, ki jih izvaja MAAE. Poleg tega neposrednega prispevka EU in MAAE tesno sodelujeta zlasti pri obravnavi zapuščenih rudnikov urana v Srednji Aziji v okviru Koordinacijske skupine za zapuščene rudnike urana (CGULS) in v Forumu za regulativno sodelovanje, ki usklajuje mednarodno podporo regulativnim organom v državah, ki uvajajo jedrsko energijo (Belorusija, Jordanija, Vietnam).

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.

Visoka predstavnica in podpredsednica Federica Mogherini je imela ob robu konference o pregledu NPT leta 2015 v New Yorku dvostranski sestanek z izvršnim sekretarjem Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO Lassinom Zerbom. Evropska unija je na pregledni konferenci predložila tudi delovni dokument o CTBT.

Posebni odposlanec za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje se je v izraelskem Ramat-Ganu aprila udeležil dogodka na visoki ravni, ki ga je CTBTO organizirala ob robu delavnice na temo „Integrirane terenske vaje iz inšpekcijskih pregledov na kraju samem v letu 2014: poročanje in kako naprej“, pri čemer se je iz prve roke seznanil z rezultati vaj in zaključki v zvezi z njimi. V zvezi s tem je poudaril tako politično kot finančno podporo EU univerzalizaciji in dejanski uveljavitvi CTBT.

Jedrski poskus, ki ga je 12. februarja 2013 izvedla DLRK, in nevarnost nadaljnjih poskusov jasno kažeta dejansko vrednost režima preverjanja 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 mreže pomožnih seizmoloških 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, o katerem so se E3/EU+3 in Iran dogovorili novembra 2013 v Ženevi, njegova veljavnost pa je bila podaljšana do 30. junija 2015, se je nemoteno izvajal, kar je zagotovilo potreben manevrski prostor za aktualni diplomatski proces. Od začetka izvajanja skupnega akcijskega načrta je EU, ki pomaga E3 + 3 (Kitajska, Francija, Nemčija, Rusija, Združeno kraljestvo in Združene države Amerike) pri jedrskih razpravah, začela pogajanja z Iranom, da bi dosegli dolgoročno celovito rešitev iranskega jedrskega vprašanja, kot je predvideno v skupnem akcijskem načrtu. Visoka predstavnica EU in zunanji ministri držav E3 + 3 ter Iran so na srečanju 2. aprila 2015 v Lozani dosegli politični dogovor o ključnih parametrih celovitega sporazuma o iranskem jedrskem vprašanju. Od takrat poteka delo na ravni političnih direktorjev in strokovnjakov, da bi dogovor iz Lozane prenesli v pisni sporazum do konca junija, ko preneha veljati začasni sporazum. 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 je med MAAE in Iranom potekalo več tehničnih sestankov. 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 MAAE 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. 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 programe jedrskega in drugega orožja za množično uničevanje ter 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 še naprej kljubuje resolucijam VSZN 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 in 2094, kar je EU najodločneje obsodila.

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

EU se še naprej zavzema za jedrsko razorožitev in nadzor nad orožjem na podlagi pogodbe ter poudarja, da je treba obnoviti večstranska prizadevanja in ponovno oživiti večstranska pogajalska telesa, zlasti Konferenco o razorožitvi, v zvezi s katero med drugim preučuje možnost njene prihodnje širitve. Slepa ulica, v kateri je trenutno, tudi zato, ker se nikakor ne more dogovoriti o programu dela, je še naprej razlog za zaskrbljenost.

EU ponovno poziva k takojšnjemu začetku in čimprejšnjemu zaključku pogajanj v okviru Konference o razorožitvi za pogodbo o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih snovi za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa na podlagi dokumenta CD/1299 in v njem opredeljenega mandata, kar ostaja jasna prednostna naloga. Vse države, ki tega še niso storile, poziva, naj razglasijo in potrdijo takojšen moratorij na proizvodnjo cepljivih snovi za izdelavo jedrskega orožja ali drugih jedrskih eksplozivnih teles, obrate, namenjene proizvodnji cepljivih snovi za jedrsko orožje, pa naj razgradijo ali jih pretvorijo v obrate za izključno ne-eksplozivno uporabo. Pozdravlja ukrepe tistih od petih držav z jedrskim orožjem v okviru NPT, zlasti obeh držav članic EU, ki so razglasile takšen moratorij in razgradile ali pretvorile tovrstne obrate.

EU pozdravlja tudi konstruktivne razprave na srečanjih skupine vladnih strokovnjakov leta 2014 in 2015 ter njihov uspešen zaključek, obenem pa je izrazila prepričanje, da bo poročilo skupine osnova prihodnjih pogajanj.

3.   KEMIČNO OROŽJE

Svet EU je 17. februarja sprejel Sklep (SZVP) 2015/259 za obdobje 2015–2017, s katerim je Organizaciji za prepoved kemičnega orožja (OPCW) zagotovil približno 2,5 milijona EUR za podporo dejavnostim, kot so spodbujanje univerzalnosti, nacionalnega izvajanja, mednarodnega sodelovanja in programa za Afriko ter učenje iz izkušenj, pridobljenih med operacijo v Siriji. S tem sklepom Sveta je EU šestič prostovoljno prispevala k dejavnostim OPCW od leta 2005, kar je dokaz stalne podpore in priznanje za pomembno delo, ki ga opravlja organizacija.

EU je še naprej podpirala prizadevanja OPCW, da bi izničili sirski program kemičnega orožja, med drugim tako, da je podaljšala veljavnost sklepa, s katerim je prispevala 12 milijonov EUR iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru v skrbniški sklad OPCW. Na prošnjo OPCW preučuje možnost, da bi nadalje prispevala k uničenju preostalih sirskih zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo kemičnega orožja in s tem povezanim dejavnostim.

S Sklepom Sveta 2014/74/SZVP z dne 11. 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. Predlog je bil posredovan sirskim oblastem, ki ga pa zaenkrat zavračajo. Vendar se EU vedno znova vrača k njemu ob vseh ustreznih priložnostih in v svojih izjavah v okviru OPCW.

Po tretji pregledni konferenci Konvencije o kemičnem orožju (CWC) aprila 2013 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. V zvezi s tem bo EU podrobno preučila nedavno sporočilo OPCW z naslovom „OPCW leta 2025: zagotavljanje sveta brez kemičnega orožja“ (dokument S/1252/2015 z dne 6. marca 2015), da bi prispevala k ustreznim razpravam v okviru pristojnih organov OPCW.

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.

4.   BIOLOŠKO OROŽJE

EU si je pred osmo pregledno konferenco Konvencije o prepovedi biološkega in toksičnega orožja (BTWC) novembra in decembra 2016 v Ženevi prizadevala za pogajanja o novem sklepu Sveta v podporo BTWC in skupnem stališču EU za naslednjo pregledno konferenco ter njuno morebitno prihodnje sprejetje.

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.

Novi Sklep Sveta 2014/913/SZVP v podporo HCoC, ki ga je Svet sprejel 15. decembra 2014, se je začel izvajati spomladi 2015. EU je na podlagi tega sklepa maja 2015 organizirala dogodek ob robu konference o pregledu NPT, kjer jo je zastopal vodja delegacije EU na Dunaju. Jasno je bilo izpostavljeno financiranje s strani EU, ki so ga omenili skoraj vsi govorniki. Dogodek se je prenašal v živo prek spleta.

Države članice EU si prizadevajo za izvajanje Sklepa Sveta 2014/913/SZVP z dne 15. decembra 2014 v podporo HCoC in neširjenju balističnih izstrelkov.

5.2   MTCR

Plenarno zasedanje Režima za nadzor nad raketno tehnologijo (MTCR) je v letu 2014 potekalo od 1. do 3. oktobra v Oslu, kjer je EU dala izjavo. Marca 2015 je potekal okrepljeni sestanek kontaktnih točk v okviru MTCR, na katerem je ESZD dala celovito izjavo.

Od držav EU9 so svojo prošnjo za članstvo v MTCR obnovile štiri države EU, in sicer Romunija, Estonija, Slovenija in Hrvaška.

Na plenarnem zasedanju leta 2014 v Oslu sta Luksemburg in Nizozemska naznanila, da bosta prevzela skupno predsedstvo MTCR v letih 2015 in 2016.

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.

Komisija trenutno zbira prispevke iz držav članic ter drugih pristojnih evropskih institucij in služb, da bi do konca leta predložila končno poročilo o napredku pri izvajanju akcijskega načrta iz leta 2009. Hkrati bo predložila ideje za nadaljnje delo na področju KBRJ-E.

Pobudo o „centrih odličnosti EU za zmanjševanje nevarnosti 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 snovi ali terorizem v zvezi s KBRJ) ter naravnih in drugih katastrof (industrijskih nesreč). 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 vzpostavitve regionalnih strokovnih mrež za pravna, regulativna, tehnična, nadzorna in izvršilna vprašanja v zvezi z zmanjševanjem nevarnosti na področju KBRJ, ob upoštevanju pristopa od spodaj navzgor in čezmejnega pristopa za določitev regionalnih prednostnih nalog, ki jih ni mogoče obravnavati le na nacionalni ravni.

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.

Dejavnosti konzorcija so izboljšale prepoznavnost EU v primerjavi s tretjimi državami in civilno družbo ter 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 pomaga pri krepitvi ustreznih nacionalnih in regionalnih prizadevanj, prispeva k praktičnemu uresničevanju priporočil iz celovitega pregleda statusa izvajanja RVSZN 1540, ki je bil pripravljen leta 2009, ter na zahteve držav snuje in razvija nacionalne akcijske načrte.

UNODA je podpisala sporazum z OVSE, s katerim naj bi ustvarili sinergije v podporo RVSZN 1540. Za sinergije in usklajevanje, s katerim bi preprečili podvajanje, naj bi si prizadevali tudi centri odličnosti EU za KBRJ. S sredstvi EU je bilo organiziranih že več kot 15 dogodkov, od katerih je zadnji potekal junija 2015 v Jordaniji.

(b)   Nadzor izvoza

Potem ko je Komisija 24. aprila 2014 sprejela sporočilo o pregledu ureditve EU za nadzor nad izvozom, v katerem so opredeljene konkretne politične možnosti za posodobitev nadzora nad izvozom in njegovo prilagoditev hitro spreminjajočim se tehnološkim, gospodarskim in političnim razmeram, je Evropski parlament januarja opravil javno razpravo. Komisija je medtem začela pripravljati „oceno učinka“ posameznih možnosti za pregled, orisanih v sporočilu, da bi določila najprimernejše regulativne in neregulativne ukrepe za njihovo uveljavitev, decembra 2014 pa je z Mednarodnim mirovnim raziskovalnim inštitutom v Stockholmu (SIPRI) sklenila pogodbo o zbiranju podatkov v podporo oceni učinka in za vzpostavitev pogojev za pripravo revidiranih predpisov za nadzor izvoza.

Kar zadeva predpise, je na podlagi prenosa pristojnosti, ki ga omogoča Uredba (EU) št. 599/2014, decembra 2014 začela veljati Delegirana uredba Komisije (EU) št. 1382/2014, s katero je bil v skladu z odločitvami, sprejetimi v okviru večstranskih ureditev za nadzor izvoza v obdobju 2011–2013, posodobljen nadzorni seznam EU. Komisija je marca 2015 v posvetovanju s strokovnjaki iz držav članic začela pripravljati novo delegirano uredbo, s katero bi posodobili nadzorni seznam EU glede na odločitve v zvezi z ureditvijo iz leta 2014.

Izvajanje nadzora nad izvozom je bilo deležno podpore na treh sestankih Usklajevalne skupine za blago z dvojno rabo v prvi polovici leta 2015, s poudarkom predvsem na uvedbi novih funkcionalnosti „elektronskega sistema za dvojno rabo“ in tehnični izmenjavi podatkov o različnih vprašanjih v zvezi z nadzorom.

Prišlo je do usklajevanja EU, da bi dogovorjena stališča EU uveljavljali na ustreznih sestankih glede ureditev za nadzor izvoza, organiziranih v prvem polletju leta 2015 (skupina držav dobaviteljic jedrskega blaga: srečanja posvetovalne skupine aprila na Dunaju in junija v argentinskem Barilocheju, kjer je hkrati potekalo tudi plenarno zasedanje skupine; okrepljeni sestanek kontaktnih točk v okviru MTCR marca 2015 v Parizu; Avstralska skupina: plenarno zasedanje junija v Perthu v Avstraliji).

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. Na podlagi tega programa so bile uvedene nove dejavnosti v Maroku, Tuniziji, Jordaniji, Pakistanu in Srbiji. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena poglobitvi sodelovanja s programom ministrstva ZDA za zunanje zadeve za nadzor izvoza in s tem povezano varnost na mejah, da bi povečali sinergije med obema programoma. V Kijevu in Košicah so bili organizirani ad hoc seminarji z namenom spodbujanja čezmejnega medregijskega sodelovanja pri strateškem nadzoru trgovine z Ukrajino, Gruzijo in Republiko Moldavijo ter vzhodnimi državami članicami EU. Vzpostavljen je bil portal EU za ozaveščanje (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/), ki deluje kot platforma, na kateri so na enem mestu zbrani vsi programi EU za ozaveščanje (dvojna raba, ARMS in ATT), pri čemer je namen prilagoditi izmenjavo informacij posameznim partnerskim državam EU. Januarja 2015 je s partnerskimi državami potekala konferenca, posebej namenjena novim in spreminjajočim se izzivom v zvezi z nadzorom izvoza. Zaključena je bila študija o izzivih na področju nadzora izvoza v Afriki. 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.

EU je v sodelovanju s podobno mislečimi državami in ob podpori Urada ZN za razoroževanje načrtovala večstranska pogajanja o svojem predlogu za osnutek mednarodnega kodeksa ravnanja za dejavnosti v vesolju, ki naj bi potekala od 27. do 31. julija 2015 v New Yorku. Na to srečanje bodo povabljene vse države članice ZN.

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 srečanjih vodilnih uradnikov, pristojnih za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje (28. in 29. januarja v Aachnu ter 4. in 5. marca v Hamburgu), kar je privedlo do uspešnega dogovora o izjavi glede neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja, ki je priložena izjavi zunanjih ministrov, sprejeti 15. aprila v Lübecku.

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, sodelovanja znanstvenikov ter jedrske in radiološke 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, jedrsko in radiološko varnost, centre odličnosti ter ozaveščanje in širjenje v okviru Delovne skupine za globalno partnerstvo. 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 je pridružila nemškim prednostnim nalogam, opredeljenim za obdobje predsedovanja v letih 2014 in 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.

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

Posebni odposlanec je imel srečanja v okviru političnega dialoga na temo neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja z Brazilijo, Egiptom, Japonsko, ZDA in Izraelom. Imel je tudi vrsto drugih dvostranskih posvetovanj z različnimi akterji, med drugim ob robu pomembnih dogodkov, kot je bila konferenca o pregledu NPT leta 2015 v New Yorku (z visokim predstavnikom ZN za razoroževanje, direktorjem Inštituta ZN za raziskave na področju razoroževanja, ZDA, Republiko Korejo, Izraelom, Egiptom itd.).
