RELAZIONE SEMESTRALE SULL’ATTUAZIONE DELLA STRATEGIA DELL’UE CONTRO LA PROLIFERAZIONE DELLE ARMI DI DISTRUZIONE DI MASSA (2015/I)

(2015/C 296/01)

INTRODUZIONE

In linea con la strategia dell’UE contro la proliferazione delle armi di distruzione di massa adottata dal Consiglio europeo nel dicembre 2003 (doc. 15708/03), sono previste ogni sei mesi relazioni sull’attuazione di detta strategia. La presente relazione sull’attuazione comprende le attività svolte nella prima metà del 2015.

I principi orientativi dell’UE nel settore, in conformità degli obiettivi della strategia europea in materia di sicurezza, della strategia dell’UE contro la proliferazione delle ADM e delle nuove linee d’azione (doc. 17172/08), continuano a essere:

| i) | multilateralismo efficace, inclusa la promozione dell’universalità dei trattati, delle convenzioni e di altri strumenti internazionali nonché la loro attuazione a livello nazionale, attraverso l’azione diplomatica e l’assistenza finanziaria ai paesi terzi e alle organizzazioni internazionali; |
| --- | --- |

| ii) | la stretta cooperazione con i suoi partner e con altri paesi terzi volta a conseguire una convergenza globale di visioni sulla necessità di rafforzare il regime internazionale di non proliferazione. Nelle relazioni bilaterali dell’UE con tutti i pertinenti paesi sono continuate le iniziative riguardanti questioni di non proliferazione, in particolare tramite riunioni di dialogo politico e contatti più informali; |

l’uso efficace e complementare di tutti gli strumenti e le risorse finanziarie disponibili — il bilancio PESC, lo strumento inteso a contribuire alla stabilità e alla pace (IcSP), altri strumenti — in modo da ottimizzare l’impatto delle attività da essa svolte per perseguire gli obiettivi della politica estera dell’UE.

Pertanto il lavoro è altresì strettamente coordinato nel quadro delle più ampie attività di politica di sicurezza e prevenzione dei conflitti intraprese dall’UE.

Il consigliere principale e inviato speciale del SEAE per la non proliferazione e il disarmo ha rappresentato l’UE in una serie di importanti riunioni internazionali nel primo semestre del 2015 (in particolare il gruppo dei direttori sulla non proliferazione del G7 ad Aquisgrana nel mese di gennaio e ad Amburgo nel mese di marzo, la conferenza di revisione del trattato di non proliferazione delle armi nucleari (TNP) del 2015 nei mesi di aprile e maggio, nonché le consultazioni su questioni in materia di non proliferazione e disarmo con una serie di paesi terzi).

Nel primo semestre del 2015 l’inviato speciale si è concentrato sulle seguenti attività:

| — | rafforzare gli sforzi per sostenere il TNP, in particolare nel contesto dei preparativi per la conferenza di revisione del TNP del 2015. Questa rimane per l’UE una massima priorità, data anche la sua diretta rilevanza per le importanti sfide regionali relative alla proliferazione in Iran e RPDC. L’UE ha continuato a sostenere il processo di creazione di una zona libera da ADM in Medio Oriente. L’inviato speciale ha mantenuto regolari contatti con il facilitatore finlandese, l’ambasciatore Laajava, in merito alla convocazione della conferenza di Helsinki; |

1.   QUESTIONI NUCLEARI

Il gruppo «Non proliferazione» (CONOP) del Consiglio dell’UE, in stretta cooperazione con le pertinenti delegazioni dell’UE, ha contribuito attivamente alla preparazione delle posizioni dell’UE per la conferenza di revisione del TNP di aprile e maggio 2015, le riunioni di marzo e giugno del Consiglio dei governatori dell’AIEA, la riunione rafforzata dei punti di contatto del Regime di non proliferazione nel settore missilistico (MTCR) di marzo, la riunione ordinaria annuale del codice di condotta dell’Aia (ICOC) di maggio, la riunione plenaria della GICNT e le riunioni plenarie del GFN di giugno. Le pertinenti delegazioni dell’UE hanno coordinato le attività di preparazione dei contributi dell’UE ad altri incontri internazionali, come quelli della commissione preparatoria della CTBTO e dei suoi organi sussidiari, nonché di altre riunioni pertinenti nell’ambito del suo mandato.

1.1.   Conferenza di revisione del TNP del 2015 (New York, 27 aprile — 22 maggio 2015)

Le conclusioni del Consiglio contenenti le posizioni dell’UE per la nona conferenza di revisione delle parti del trattato di non proliferazione delle armi nucleari sono state adottate il 20 aprile (doc. 8079/15). In base alle suddette conclusioni del Consiglio, la dichiarazione generale dell’UE e le dichiarazioni dell’UE per ciascuno dei tre comitati principali della conferenza di revisione sono state messe a punto e rilasciate nel corso di tale evento. L’AR/VP Mogherini ha pronunciato la dichiarazione generale dell’UE il secondo giorno della conferenza (28 aprile). Alla conferenza sono stati presentati tre documenti di lavoro dell’UE concernenti: 1) il CTBT, 2) le salvaguardie e 3) la nuova direttiva Euratom sulla sicurezza. L’UE ha organizzato due eventi collaterali alla conferenza: uno a sostegno del codice di condotta dell’Aia contro la proliferazione dei missili balistici (tenutosi l’8 maggio) e un altro concernente sicurezza e protezione nucleare (tenutosi il 14 maggio). Sebbene la conferenza di revisione non sia stata in grado di adottare un documento finale consensuale, il piano d’azione adottato in occasione della conferenza di revisione del TNP del 2010 rimane valido e l’UE continuerà a promuovere la sua piena attuazione globale, equilibrata e sostanziale.

1.2.   Agenzia internazionale per l’energia atomica (AIEA)

L’UE ha continuato ad aumentare il suo sostegno all’Agenzia internazionale per l’energia atomica di Vienna e resta un donatore fondamentale del fondo per la sicurezza nucleare, con quasi 40 milioni di EUR impegnati dal 2004 (compreso l’ultimo impegno di fornire all’Agenzia 8,05 milioni di EUR, sulla base della decisione 2013/517/PESC del Consiglio, del 21 ottobre 2013, che è attualmente in fase di attuazione).

Sempre in merito alla sicurezza nucleare, l’UE ha contribuito con competenze tecniche ad attività di formazione e a seminari organizzati dall’AIEA a favore di paesi terzi per migliorarne le capacità nella lotta contro il traffico illecito di materiale nucleare e radioattivo di altro tipo. L’UE e l’AIEA hanno continuato a coordinare il rispettivo sostegno a paesi terzi in questo settore. La terza riunione annuale degli alti funzionari (SOM) dell’UE e dell’AIEA, con il coinvolgimento del SEAE, della Commissione europea/Euratom e di rappresentanti dell’AIEA ad alto livello, si è svolta il 4 e 5 febbraio 2015 presso la sede della Commissione europea a Lussemburgo. L’obiettivo delle riunioni SOM è di intensificare la cooperazione in tutti i settori di attività dell’AIEA, aumentare la visibilità dei contributi dell’UE e promuovere ulteriormente un’azione coordinata dell’UE al fine di assicurare la complementarità ed evitare sovrapposizioni tra le attività intraprese dai centri di eccellenza CBRN dell’UE e dall’AIEA nel settore della sicurezza nucleare (a tal fine, l’UE — attraverso il Centro comune di ricerca della Commissione europea — e l’AIEA stanno attuando modalità pratiche per condurre la loro cooperazione).

Dal 2008, attraverso conclusioni del Consiglio, l’UE si è impegnata a contribuire fino a 25 milioni di EUR alla banca LEU (uranio debolmente arricchito) dell’AIEA. L’UE ha trasferito 20 milioni di EUR dallo strumento inteso a contribuire alla stabilità e alla pace al fine di sostenere la banca. Un ulteriore contributo pari a un massimo di 5 milioni di EUR sarà fornito mediante il bilancio della PESC, sulla base di una decisione del Consiglio. L’approvazione del Consiglio è legata all’attesa di progressi nella messa a punto e nell’approvazione dei vari accordi, tra cui l’accordo con lo Stato ospitante tra l’AIEA e il Kazakhstan.

Nel settore delle salvaguardie nucleari, la direzione per le salvaguardie nucleari della Commissione europea continua ad applicare salvaguardie su tutto il materiale nucleare civile in tutti i 28 Stati membri dell’UE, con un bilancio annuale di circa 20 milioni di EUR. Le attività di verifica delle salvaguardie sono coordinate in stretta cooperazione con l’AIEA. L’AIEA e la Commissione rafforzano costantemente la loro cooperazione nel settore allo scopo di ottimizzare l’uso delle risorse umane e finanziarie, mantenendo la massima efficacia possibile delle salvaguardie. Nel settore delle salvaguardie nucleari, l’UE ha inoltre continuato a fornire all’AIEA un importante supporto tecnico attraverso il programma di sostegno ai controlli di sicurezza della Commissione europea.

Mentre l’UE ha impegnato 10 milioni di EUR a sostegno di un progetto internazionale volto ad ampliare e modernizzare il laboratorio per le salvaguardie di Seibersdorf in Austria (con 9,5 milioni di EUR già trasferiti), l’AIEA si è rivolta ai donatori internazionali, compresa l’UE, per contribuire anche alla modernizzazione del laboratorio per le applicazioni nucleari di Seibersdorf.

A livello di esperti la Commissione europea, di concerto con l’AIEA, ha avviato un processo per la valutazione e il miglioramento della banca dati dell’AIEA sui traffici illeciti in risposta alle esigenze degli utenti. È stato elaborato un documento sulle migliori prassi in relazione a una cultura delle segnalazioni armonizzata che sarà presentato all’AIEA. La messa a punto del modulo per la notifica degli incidenti sul web, al fine di modernizzare gli strumenti di segnalazione, è stata avviata nell’ottobre del 2013 e sarà presto portata a termine.

A titolo del nuovo strumento per la cooperazione in materia di sicurezza nucleare (INSC 2014 — 2020), l’UE ha impegnato 3,5 milioni di EUR a sostegno di progetti di cooperazione in materia di sicurezza nucleare attuati dall’Agenzia. Oltre a questo contributo diretto, l’UE e l’AIEA stanno collaborando strettamente, in particolare per quanto riguarda i vecchi siti di produzione di uranio in Asia centrale nell’ambito del Coordination Group for Uranium Legacy Sites/CGULS (gruppo di coordinamento per i vecchi siti di produzione di uranio) e del Regulatory Cooperation Forum/RCF (forum di cooperazione in materia di regolamentazione), che coordina il sostegno internazionale alle autorità di regolamentazione dei paesi interessati al nucleare (Bielorussia, Giordania, Vietnam).

I fondi dell’UE forniti all’AIEA nell’ambito delle azioni comuni da I a IV e della decisione V del Consiglio hanno contribuito a far progredire gli sforzi dell’AIEA volti a rafforzare la sicurezza nucleare nei paesi terzi, attribuendo la priorità agli Stati che presentano il maggiore bisogno di rafforzare il loro controllo dei materiali radioattivi e nucleari, contribuendo in tal modo alla riduzione dei rischi. Gli sforzi si sono concentrati sul rafforzamento dei quadri normativi e legislativi degli Stati relativi alle materie nucleari e radioattive di altro tipo, le misure di sicurezza nucleare per il materiale nucleare e radioattivo di altro tipo in uso, lo stoccaggio ed il trasporto e relativi impianti e le capacità degli Stati di trattare il materiale nucleare e radioattivo al di fuori del loro controllo normativo nazionale, consentendo così ai paesi assistiti di soddisfare i loro obblighi nazionali e internazionali. La più recente decisione del Consiglio (AIEA VI, 2013/517/PESC), adottata il 21 ottobre 2013, contribuisce all’ulteriore rafforzamento della sicurezza nucleare a livello mondiale e al potenziamento della sicurezza europea, offrendo sostegno alle attività dell’AIEA intraprese nel quadro del piano per la sicurezza nucleare 2014-2017, in primo luogo nei settori sopra illustrati.

1.3.   Trattato sulla messa al bando totale degli esperimenti nucleari (CTBT)

L’UE ha attivamente promosso la rapida entrata in vigore del trattato sulla messa al bando totale degli esperimenti nucleari (CTBT), sulla base della decisione 2012/699/PESC del Consiglio del 13 novembre 2012 a sostegno dell’Organizzazione del trattato sulla messa al bando totale degli esperimenti nucleari (CTBTO) e svolgendo attività di sensibilizzazione nei confronti di tutti i paesi che non hanno ancora firmato o ratificato il CTBT, inclusi i restanti paesi dell’allegato II, la cui ratifica è necessaria per l’entrata in vigore del trattato. L’UE continua l’azione di sensibilizzazione al riguardo in vari contesti, comprese le riunioni di dialogo politico, per dare ulteriore impulso alla ratifica del trattato.

L’AR/VP Mogherini ha avuto un incontro bilaterale con il segretario Esecutivo della Commissione Preparatoria della CTBTO, Lassina Zerbo, a margine della conferenza di revisione del TNP del 2015 a New York. L’Unione europea ha inoltre presentato un documento di lavoro sul CTBT alla conferenza di revisione.

L’inviato speciale per la non proliferazione e il disarmo ha partecipato all’evento ad alto livello della CTBTO tenutosi a margine del seminario dal titolo «On-Site Inspection Integrated Field Exercise 2014: Debriefing and the Way Forward», organizzato ad aprile a Ramat Gan (Israele), e ha osservato direttamente i risultati e le relative conclusioni dell’IFE14. In tale contesto, ha formulato osservazioni mettendo in evidenza il sostegno sia politico che finanziario dell’UE all’universalizzazione e all’effettiva attuazione del CTBT.

Il test nucleare svolto dalla RPDC il 12 febbraio 2013 e i rischi di possibili test ulteriori hanno mostrato chiaramente la reale importanza del regime di verifica della CTBTO, che è in corso di sviluppo e che l’UE ha sostenuto e sostiene mediante le decisioni del Consiglio. Le squadre della CTBTO sono state mobilitate per fornire a tutti i paesi firmatari del CTBT i pertinenti dati sensibili da trasmettere ai decisori. Gli sforzi relativi al mantenimento della rete di stazioni sismiche ausiliarie sostenute attraverso le azioni comuni/decisioni del Consiglio da I a V, e l’attuazione del centro internazionale di dati della CTBTO (che raccoglie, analizza e condivide i dati provenienti dalla rete delle stazioni) contribuiranno alla necessaria sostenibilità del sistema. Inoltre, è estremamente importante sostenere il segretariato tecnico provvisorio della CTBTO nel condurre nuove esercitazioni, come quella svolta in Giordania, per testare e migliorare le capacità operative del regime di ispezioni in loco.

1.4.   Questioni regionali (Iran, RPDC)

L’UE resta impegnata pienamente negli sforzi in corso volti a ottenere una soluzione diplomatica della questione nucleare iraniana mediante negoziati, sulla base del TNP e della completa attuazione di tutte le pertinenti risoluzioni del Consiglio di sicurezza dell’ONU e del Consiglio dei governatori dell’AIEA. L’attuazione agevole dell’accordo interinale noto come piano d’azione comune raggiunto tra i paesi del gruppo E3 + 3 e l’Iran a Ginevra nel novembre 2013, che è stato prorogato fino al 30 giugno 2015, ha fornito lo spazio necessario al processo diplomatico in corso. Dall’inizio dell’attuazione del piano d’azione comune, in qualità di facilitatore dei colloqui sul nucleare del gruppo E3 + 3 (Cina, Francia, Germania, Russia, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti), l’UE ha avviato negoziati con l’Iran intesi a raggiungere una soluzione globale a lungo termine alla questione nucleare iraniana, come previsto nel piano d’azione comune. All’incontro di Losanna del 2 aprile 2015, l’alto rappresentante dell’UE, i ministri degli esteri del gruppo E3 + 3 e l’Iran hanno raggiunto un’intesa politica sui parametri chiave per un accordo globale sulla questione nucleare iraniana. Da allora sono in corso lavori a livello di direttori politici e di esperti per tradurre le intese di Losanna in un accordo scritto entro la fine di giugno, quando l’accordo interinale giungerà a scadenza. Parallelamente al binario del gruppo E3 + 3, il quadro di cooperazione tra l’AIEA e l’Iran mira a risolvere tutte le questioni in sospeso presenti e passate, comprese quelle relative a una possibile dimensione militare. Varie riunioni tecniche si sono svolte nell’ambito del quadro di cooperazione tra l’AIEA e l’Iran. Tuttavia, l’Iran non ha ancora attuato le due misure pratiche in sospeso, né ha proposto nuove misure pratiche nella terza fase del quadro di cooperazione, nonostante le ripetute richieste dell’Agenzia.

L’UE resta preoccupata che l’Iran stia sviluppando e testando missili balistici e veicoli di lancio nello spazio in violazione delle risoluzioni del Consiglio di sicurezza dell’ONU 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 e 1929. L’UE ha ripetutamente condannato tali attività, poiché esse comportano il rischio intrinseco di armamento di un ordigno esplosivo nucleare. Per quanto riguarda la RPDC, l’UE resta fortemente preoccupata per il continuo sviluppo dei suoi programmi nucleari e di missili balistici e per la priorità politica data dal regime al miglioramento delle capacità nucleari. L’UE ha continuato a esortare la RPDC a rispettare gli obblighi assunti in virtù delle pertinenti risoluzioni del Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite, incluso l’abbandono di tutti i programmi esistenti legati al nucleare, ai missili balistici e ad altre armi di distruzione di massa in modo completo, verificabile e irreversibile. L’UE ha continuato a sollecitare la RPDC a tornare al pieno rispetto degli obblighi in materia di salvaguardie dell’AIEA e del TNP e a fornire all’AIEA l’accesso richiesto agli individui, alla documentazione, alle attrezzature e agli impianti. L’UE ha costantemente sostenuto la ripresa del processo dei colloqui a sei, ed ha invitato la RPDC a tornare a negoziati internazionali credibili ed autentici. Oltre all’attuazione delle risoluzioni del Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite, l’UE ha altresì introdotto misure restrittive autonome supplementari, inclusi controlli rafforzati sui beni a duplice uso e sulla proliferazione delle armi convenzionali. L’UE ha rinnovato il suo appello alla RPDC invitandola a ratificare il CTBT e ad astenersi da ulteriori provocazioni. La RDPC continua a non ottemperare alle risoluzioni 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 e 2094 del Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite, inottemperanza condannata con la massima fermezza dall’UE.

2.   CONFERENZA DEL DISARMO (CD)/TRATTATO SUL BANDO DELLA PRODUZIONE DI MATERIALE FISSILE PER ARMI NUCLEARI O ALTRI ORDIGNI ESPLOSIVI NUCLEARI

L’UE mantiene il proprio impegno per il disarmo nucleare e il controllo degli armamenti sulla base del trattato e sottolinea la necessità di rinnovare gli sforzi multilaterali e ridare slancio agli organismi di negoziazione multilaterali, in particolare la Conferenza del disarmo (CD), esaminando al riguardo possibilità quali il suo futuro allargamento. La situazione di stallo in cui si trova attualmente, ivi inclusa la sua persistente incapacità di convenire un programma di lavoro, rimane una fonte di preoccupazione.

L’UE rinnova il suo invito all’avvio immediato e alla rapida conclusione della negoziazione, nell’ambito della Conferenza del disarmo, di un trattato sul bando della produzione di materiale fissile per armi nucleari o altri ordigni esplosivi nucleari sulla base del documento CD/1299 e del mandato ivi contenuto, che rimane una chiara priorità. L’UE chiede a tutti gli Stati che non lo hanno ancora fatto di dichiarare e mantenere una moratoria immediata sulla produzione di materiale fissile per armi nucleari o per altri ordigni esplosivi nucleari, nonché di smantellare o convertire per un utilizzo non esplosivo solo gli impianti di produzione di materiale fissile per armi nucleari. L’UE accoglie con favore l’iniziativa intrapresa da quegli Stati, tra i cinque dotati di armi nucleari, in particolare dei due Stati membri dell’UE, che hanno dichiarato la pertinente moratoria e smantellato o convertito tali impianti.

L’UE accoglie inoltre con favore le discussioni costruttive tenutesi in occasione delle riunioni del gruppo di esperti governativi del 2014 e 2015 e l’esito positivo delle stesse, dichiarandosi altresì fiduciosa del fatto che le loro relazioni porranno le basi per negoziati futuri.

3.   ARMI CHIMICHE

Il 17 febbraio è stata adottata la decisione (PESC) 2015/259 del Consiglio per gli anni 2015-2017, che ha messo a disposizione dell’OPCW circa 2,5 milioni di EUR a sostegno di attività quali la promozione dell’universalità, l’attuazione nazionale, la cooperazione internazionale, il programma per l’Africa e l’attuazione degli insegnamenti tratti dall’operazione in Siria. Tale decisione del Consiglio costituisce il sesto contributo volontario dell’UE alle attività dell’OPCW dal 2005, come segno di un sostegno costante e riconoscimento dell’importante lavoro svolto dall’organizzazione.

L’UE ha continuato a sostenere l’Organizzazione per la proibizione delle armi chimiche (OPCW) per il programma sull’eliminazione delle armi chimiche siriane prorogando la validità della decisione per contribuire con 12 milioni di EUR al fondo fiduciario dell’OPCW tramite lo strumento inteso a contribuire alla stabilità e alla pace (IcSP). Su richiesta dell’OPCW, l’UE sta valutando la possibilità di contribuire ulteriormente alla distruzione dei restanti impianti siriani di produzione di armi chimiche e delle attività correlate.

La decisione n. 2014/74/PESC del Consiglio del 11 febbraio 2014 e il regolamento (UE) n. 124/2014 del Consiglio del 10 febbraio 2014 hanno introdotto una deroga per l’eventuale uso di beni congelati siriani al fine di coprire le spese legate alle attività dell’OPCW di verifica e distruzione in Siria. Nel novembre 2014 l’UE ha scritto al direttore generale dell’OPCW informandolo di tale possibilità e chiedendogli di avviare iniziative presso le autorità siriane a tal fine. La proposta è stata trasmessa alle autorità siriane, che fino a questo momento l’hanno respinta. Tuttavia, l’UE continua a ritornare sulla proposta in ogni occasione opportuna e nelle dichiarazioni dell’UE in sede di OPCW.

A seguito della terza conferenza di revisione (aprile 2013) della Convenzione sulle armi chimiche (CWC), l’UE ha continuato a concentrarsi sulle sue priorità, segnatamente le seguenti: i) completamento della distruzione delle scorte esistenti; ii) promozione del carattere universale della CWC (il 14 ottobre 2013 la Siria è diventata il 190o Stato parte della convenzione); iii) attuazione a livello nazionale ai sensi dell’articolo VII; iv) passaggio a sforzi di non proliferazione; v) promozione dello sviluppo delle capacità relative alla sicurezza e protezione nell’industria chimica nei paesi in via di sviluppo, in conformità dell’articolo XI, e modalità di risposta all’uso di armi chimiche, a norma dell’articolo X.

Nonostante vi sia ancora la necessità di completare alcuni dei principali obiettivi iniziali della CWC, l’UE e i suoi Stati membri hanno avviato un lavoro di riflessione per individuare la fase successiva alla distruzione delle armi chimiche e stanno gradualmente cominciando a valutare le sfide di futura pertinenza (vale a dire prevenire il riapparire delle armi chimiche, l’uso da parte di soggetti non statali e di terroristi e la convergenza con la biologia) e, di conseguenza, l’efficacia della convenzione. In quest’ottica, l’UE esaminerà attentamente la nota pubblicata dall’OPCW dal titolo «The OPCW in 2025: ensuring a world free of chemical weapons», documento S/1252/2015 datato 6 marzo 2015, allo scopo di contribuire al dibattito pertinente in sede di organi competenti dell’OPCW.

In termini di impatto del sostegno dell’UE, tutti i paesi che sono stati selezionati per ricevere assistenza l’hanno utilizzata per colmare carenze tecniche critiche, permettendo a questi Stati parti di progredire significativamente verso l’attuazione della CWC a livello nazionale. Nel concreto si può rilevare che le decisioni del Consiglio rimangono l’unico mezzo possibile per fornire questo tipo di assistenza intesa a far fronte alle lacune relative all’attuazione. Dei 90 sottoprogetti di attuazione nazionale realizzati dal segretariato tecnico dell’OPCW negli ultimi anni, circa la metà non avrebbero potuto essere realizzati senza i fondi delle azioni comuni/decisioni del Consiglio. Per quanto riguarda la priorità dell’UE relativa alla promozione dell’universalità, 19 paesi in tutto hanno aderito alla convenzione da quando è stata adottata la prima azione comune e quattro dei paesi che hanno aderito alla convenzione nel 2005 erano stati coinvolti in un’attività di sensibilizzazione dell’UE finanziata da un’azione comune/decisione del Consiglio: questo è stato il caso di tutti i paesi che hanno aderito durante gli anni seguenti.

4.   ARMI BIOLOGICHE

In vista dell’ottava conferenza di revisione della convenzione sulle armi biologiche e tossiniche (BTWC) (Ginevra, novembre/dicembre 2016), l’UE ha operato per la negoziazione e la possibile adozione futura sia di una nuova decisione del Consiglio a sostegno della BTWC sia di una posizione comune dell’UE in vista della prossima conferenza di revisione.

L’UE si è altresì impegnata a sostenere i miglioramenti in materia di biosicurezza e bioprotezione. A tale proposito, la decisione 2013/668/PESC del Consiglio, adottata il 18 novembre 2013, prevede più di 1,7 milioni di EUR per sostenere, attraverso le competenze tecniche dell’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità, progetti intesi a promuovere, in alcuni Stati parti selezionati, la sensibilizzazione in materia di rischio biologico, la gestione del rischio biologico nei laboratori e lo sviluppo di strategie nazionali per i laboratori.

5.   MISSILI BALISTICI

5.1.   Codice di condotta dell’Aia (ICOC)

L’UE considera il codice di condotta dell’Aia contro la proliferazione dei missili balistici («ICOC») uno strumento multilaterale unico per contrastare la proliferazione dei sistemi di missili balistici e delle tecnologie correlate mediante misure di rafforzamento della fiducia e di trasparenza e lo ha sostenuto fermamente sin dal principio. Tutti gli Stati membri dell’UE hanno aderito al codice. L’UE ha continuato a proseguire e a sostenere i tre seguenti aspetti del codice: universalità, attuazione e potenziamento e miglioramento del funzionamento.

Nella primavera del 2015 è iniziata l’attuazione di una nuova decisione del Consiglio (2014/913/PESC) a sostegno dell’ICOC adottata dal Consiglio il 15 dicembre 2014. Nel quadro di detta decisione del Consiglio, nel maggio 2015 l’UE ha organizzato, a margine della conferenza di revisione del TNP, un evento collaterale nel quale essa è stata rappresentata dal capo delegazione dell’UE a Vienna. Nel corso di tale evento, che è stato trasmesso in diretta, sono stati fatti chiari riferimenti, ribaditi da quasi tutti gli oratori, al finanziamento dell’UE.

Gli Stati membri dell’UE stanno lavorando all’attuazione della decisione 2014/913/PESC del Consiglio, del 15 dicembre 2014, a sostegno dell’ICOC e della non proliferazione dei missili balistici.

5.2.   MTCR

L’1-3 ottobre 2014 si è svolta a Oslo la riunione plenaria dell’MTCR, in cui l’UE ha reso una dichiarazione. Nel marzo 2015 è stata organizzata una riunione rafforzata dei punti di contatto dell’MTCR, in occasione della quale il SEAE ha rilasciato una dichiarazione globale.

Quattro paesi dell’UE9 hanno rinnovato la propria domanda di adesione all’MTCR: Romania, Estonia, Slovenia e Croazia.

Alla plenaria di Oslo del 2014, il Lussemburgo e i Paesi Bassi hanno annunciato che assumeranno il ruolo di presidenza congiunta dell’MTCR per il periodo 2015-2016.

6.   ATTENUAZIONE DEL RISCHIO CBRN

L’UE ha continuato a fare progressi sull’attuazione del piano d’azione CBRN (in campo chimico, biologico, radiologico e nucleare) dell’UE, adottato nel 2009, e all’incirca 30 progetti sono stati sostenuti finora dal programma «Prevenzione e lotta contro la criminalità».

Inoltre una serie di progetti di ricerca relativi al CTBT finanziati dal programma per una società sicura nel quadro del settimo programma quadro stanno fornendo sostegno scientifico e tecnico al piano d’azione CBRN attraverso sviluppi nella ricerca che coprono l’intero ciclo di gestione delle crisi (dalla prevenzione alla riabilitazione). Sono inoltre in corso attività per individuare le esigenze in termini di standardizzazione che possano condurre a standard in termini di norme europee. Il programma Orizzonte 2020 (2014-2020) rafforzerà gli sforzi in atto nella ricerca in materia di CBRN attraverso temi specifici il cui programma di lavoro è stato adottato il 10 dicembre 2013.

Una relazione del 2012 sullo stato di avanzamento dell’attuazione del piano d’azione ha sottolineato i principali traguardi raggiunti, in particolare per quanto riguarda il rafforzamento degli scambi di informazioni e le buone prassi, l’organizzazione di esercizi di formazione congiunti e l’accordo su tre elenchi dell’UE di sostanze ad alto rischio rispettivamente nei settori chimico, biologico e radiologico-nucleare.

Ai fini dell’attuazione dell’attuale piano d’azione entro il 2015 e per definire la nuova agenda in materia di CBRN-E, la Commissione collabora strettamente con le autorità degli Stati membri e altri soggetti interessati nel gruppo consultivo CBRN-E e nei suoi sottogruppi che si riuniscono periodicamente.

Nel maggio 2014 la Commissione europea ha adottato una comunicazione su un nuovo approccio dell’UE per il rilevamento e l’attenuazione dei rischi chimici, biologici, radiologici, nucleari ed esplosivi (CBRN-E) (documento COM(2014) 247 final). In tale comunicazione la Commissione propone di agevolare la cooperazione pratica per il rilevamento e l’attenuazione dei rischi CBRN-E a livello dell’UE, anche collaborando con l’industria, gli operatori degli impianti che trattano materiali CBRN-E (produttori di apparecchiature e fornitori di servizi di sicurezza) e altri soggetti interessati. Il documento contiene una serie di 30 azioni da attuare nel prossimo futuro dai diversi servizi della Commissione, in cooperazione con gli Stati membri. Saranno sviluppati strumenti concreti, che vanno dai materiali di orientamento, dalla formazione e sensibilizzazione fino alle attività di sperimentazione.

La Commissione sta attualmente raccogliendo i contributi degli Stati membri, nonché di altre istituzioni europee e di altri servizi europei competenti al fine di presentare, entro la fine dell’anno, una relazione finale sullo stato di attuazione del piano d’azione 2009. Allo stesso tempo, la Commissione presenterà idee per i futuri lavori in materia di CBRN-E.

L’iniziativa «Centri di eccellenza per l’attenuazione del rischio CBRN dell’UE», finanziata attraverso lo strumento inteso a contribuire alla stabilità e alla pace, è stata lanciata dall’UE nel maggio 2010. I centri di eccellenza in materia di CBRN sono creati come risposta alla riconosciuta carenza di capacità istituzionale di vari paesi ai fini dell’attenuazione del rischio CBRN: attività criminali (proliferazione di materiali CBRN o terrorismo), catastrofi naturali e accidentali (incidenti industriali). Essi si prefiggono di sviluppare una politica multirischio in materia di CBRN a livello nazionale e regionale per prevedere e reagire a questi rischi. In breve, si tratta di misure strutturali volte a ridurre la vulnerabilità di certi paesi agli eventi CBRN nel reciproco interesse delle regioni e della sicurezza dell’UE.

Per raggiungere questo obiettivo bisogna sostenere la creazione di reti regionali di competenze nel settore giuridico, normativo, tecnico nonché del controllo e dell’applicazione in materia di attenuazione del rischio CBRN, seguendo un approccio dal basso verso l’alto e transfrontaliero per individuare le priorità regionali che non possono essere trattate soltanto a livello nazionale.

7.   GRUPPI DI RIFLESSIONE

Sulla base della decisione 2010/430/PESC del Consiglio, del 26 luglio 2010, il lavoro dell’UE nell’ambito della strategia dell’UE contro la proliferazione delle armi di distruzione di massa ha beneficiato del sostegno attivo del consorzio dell’UE per la non proliferazione, divenuto operativo nel gennaio 2011. Una nuova decisione adottata il 10 marzo 2014 ha prorogato per altri tre anni le attività del consorzio, sia sulla base dei risultati e delle esperienze acquisite nel periodo 2011-2013 sia aggiungendo progetti nuovi e innovativi.

Le attività del consorzio hanno aumentato la visibilità dell’UE presso i paesi terzi e la società civile e hanno contribuito in maniera significativa alla formazione della politica dell’UE nei settori della non proliferazione e del disarmo. Il consorzio fornisce una piattaforma per contatti informali tra i responsabili e contribuisce a promuovere il dialogo tra i diversi soggetti interessati. La rete del consorzio conta oltre 65 gruppi di riflessione in tutta Europa. L’attività ha contribuito alla sensibilizzazione sulle sfide relative alle armi nucleari, chimiche e biologiche.

8.   RISOLUZIONE 1540 DEL CONSIGLIO DI SICUREZZA DELL’ONU E CONTROLLI SULLE ESPORTAZIONI

a)   UNSCR 1540

La decisione del Consiglio a sostegno dell’UNSCR 1540, adottata dal Consiglio il 22 luglio 2013, è in fase di attuazione da parte dell’UNODA, che organizza seminari regionali e visite di assistenza ai paesi in tutto il mondo. L’attuazione di detta decisione del Consiglio aiuta a potenziare i pertinenti sforzi nazionali e regionali, contribuisce all’adempimento pratico delle raccomandazioni contenute nell’esame globale dello status di attuazione dell’UNSCR 1540 realizzato nel 2009 e avvia e sviluppa piani d’azione nazionali su richiesta degli Stati.

L’UNODA ha firmato un accordo con l’OSCE che comporterà sinergie a sostegno dell’UNSCR 1540. Occorre cercare sinergie e coordinamento, altresì al fine di evitare possibili duplicazioni, anche con i centri di eccellenza in materia di CBRN dell’UE. Sono già stati organizzati con fondi dell’UE oltre 15 eventi, l’ultimo dei quali si è svolto in Giordania nel giugno 2015.

b)   Controlli sulle esportazioni

A seguito dell’adozione, il 24 aprile 2014, di una comunicazione della Commissione sul riesame del regime di controllo delle esportazioni dell’UE che individua le opzioni strategiche concrete per la modernizzazione dei controlli delle esportazioni e il loro adeguamento a situazioni tecnologiche, economiche e politiche in rapida evoluzione, nel gennaio 2015 il Parlamento europeo ha tenuto un’audizione pubblica. Dal canto suo, la Commissione ha avviato una «valutazione d’impatto» delle opzioni di revisione delineate nella comunicazione al fine di individuare le azioni di tipo regolamentare e non regolamentare più idonee per metterle in atto e, a dicembre del 2014, ha commissionato all’Istituto internazionale di ricerca sulla pace di Stoccolma (SIPRI) la raccolta di dati per supportare la valutazione d’impatto e preparare il terreno per l’elaborazione di regolamenti riveduti sul controllo delle esportazioni.

Dal punto di vista normativo, a seguito della delega di competenza concessa ai sensi del regolamento (UE) n. 599/2014, nel dicembre 2014 è entrato in vigore il regolamento delegato (UE) n. 1382/2014 della Commissione che aggiorna l’elenco di controllo delle'UE alla luce delle decisioni adottate nei regimi multilaterali di controllo delle esportazioni nel periodo 2011-2013. Nel marzo 2015, la Commissione ha avviato, in consultazione con esperti degli Stati membri, i preparativi per un nuovo regolamento delegato che aggiorna l’elenco di controllo UE alla luce delle decisioni adottate nel regime 2014.

L’attuazione dei controlli sulle esportazioni è stata sostenuta da tre riunioni del gruppo di coordinamento sui prodotti a duplice uso, svoltesi nella prima metà del 2015, che si sono concentrate in particolare sull’introduzione di nuove funzioni nel «Sistema elettronico per i prodotti a duplice uso» e sullo scambio tecnico di informazioni su varie questioni relative al controllo.

Ha avuto luogo un coordinamento dell'UE per promuovere le posizioni concordate dell’UE nelle pertinenti riunioni dei regimi di controllo sulle esportazioni svoltesi nel primo semestre del 2015 [Gruppo dei fornitori nucleari (GFN): riunioni del gruppo consultivo svoltesi ad aprile a Vienna e a giugno a Bariloche (Argentina), nonché riunione plenaria a giugno a Bariloche (Argentina); regime di non proliferazione nel settore missilistico: riunione rafforzata dei punti di contatto svoltasi a Parigi nel maggio 2015; gruppo Australia: riunione plenaria tenutasi a giugno a Perth (Australia)].

È stato portato avanti il programma di sensibilizzazione dell’UE sul controllo delle esportazioni inteso a rafforzare le capacità amministrativa e tecnica nei paesi terzi (23) per gestire i prodotti a duplice uso. Il programma di sensibilizzazione ha realizzato nuove attività in Marocco, Tunisia, Giordania, Pakistan e Serbia. Si è prestata particolare attenzione ad un’intensificazione della cooperazione con il programma del Dipartimento di Stato degli Stati Uniti per il controllo delle esportazioni e l’assistenza alla sicurezza delle frontiere (EXBS), al fine di incrementare le sinergie tra i due programmi. A Kiev e a Kosice sono stati organizzati seminari ad hoc volti a promuovere la cooperazione interregionale transfrontaliera nel controllo degli scambi strategici con l’Ucraina, la Georgia e la Repubblica di Moldova, nonché con gli Stati membri dell’UE ad Est. È stato creato un portale di sensibilizzazione dell’UE (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) che funge da piattaforma unica per tutti i programmi di sensibilizzazione dell’UE (duplice uso, ARMS e ATT), allo scopo di adattare lo scambio di informazioni con i paesi partner dell’UE. A gennaio del 2015 si è tenuta una conferenza specifica con i paesi partner dedicata alle sfide nuove e in evoluzione connesse al controllo delle esportazioni. È stato portato a termine uno studio sulle sfide in materia di controllo delle esportazioni in Africa. Il programma è finanziato nel quadro dello strumento inteso a contribuire alla stabilità e alla pace.

9.   SPAZIO

L’UE promuove dal 2007 l’elaborazione di un codice di condotta internazionale per le attività nello spazio extraatmosferico. Questo insieme di orientamenti e misure miranti a rafforzare la fiducia, su base internazionale e volontaria, rafforzerebbe la sicurezza, la protezione e la prevedibilità di tutte le attività inerenti allo spazio. Tra l’altro, gli orientamenti dovrebbero limitare o ridurre al minimo le interferenze dannose, le collisioni o gli incidenti nello spazio extraatmosferico, nonché la creazione di detriti. Il codice introdurrebbe le norme di base che i paesi coinvolti in attività spaziali, a carattere sia civile sia militare, sarebbero tenuti ad osservare.

L’UE ha tenuto tre cicli di consultazioni aperte sul progetto di codice a Kiev (maggio 2013), a Bangkok (novembre 2013) e a Lussemburgo (maggio 2014). Nel complesso, 95 Stati membri delle Nazioni Unite hanno partecipato al processo di consultazione (61 paesi hanno presenziato a tutti i cicli di consultazioni). Il processo di consultazioni aperte, concluso con la riunione di Lussemburgo, ha svolto un ruolo importante nello sviluppo di una migliore comprensione delle posizioni e delle preoccupazioni degli Stati partecipanti. Al termine della riunione, il presidente ha concluso che l’iniziativa suscita un ampio interesse a livello internazionale. Numerosi paesi hanno espresso il desiderio di far progredire il processo verso una fase di negoziato in cui il progetto di codice elaborato durante il processo di consultazione possa servire da base per i futuri negoziati multilaterali.

In coordinamento con i paesi che condividono la stessa linea e con l’assistenza dell’Ufficio delle Nazioni Unite per gli affari del disarmo, l’UE ha previsto negoziati multilaterali sulla sua proposta riguardante un progetto di codice di condotta internazionale per le attività nello spazio extraatmosferico che si svolgeranno a New York dal 27 al 31 luglio 2015. Alla riunione saranno invitati tutti gli Stati membri dell’ONU.

10.   CLAUSOLE DI NON PROLIFERAZIONE DELLE ADM

L’UE, conformemente alla sua strategia sulla non proliferazione delle ADM, ha continuato ad integrare la non proliferazione delle ADM nelle relazioni contrattuali con i paesi terzi. Ulteriori negoziati sulle clausole di non proliferazione delle ADM nei pertinenti accordi tra l’UE e i paesi terzi si sono svolti in particolare in Malaysia. I negoziati contribuiscono alla sensibilizzazione in merito alla politica dell’UE sulla non proliferazione e il disarmo e forniscono un forum per aumentare la comprensione reciproca delle posizioni pertinenti, individuare possibili settori di futura cooperazione e incoraggiare i paesi partner a compiere passi avanti concreti per quanto riguarda il regime internazionale di non proliferazione.

11.   ALTRI CONSESSI MULTILATERALI

G7

L’UE ha continuato a partecipare attivamente alle riunioni dei direttori per la non proliferazione e il disarmo (Aquisgrana, 28-29 gennaio, e Amburgo, 4-5 marzo), che hanno consentito loro di negoziare con successo una dichiarazione sulla non proliferazione e il disarmo, allegata alla dichiarazione dei ministri degli affari esteri di Lubecca del 15 aprile.

Sin dalla sua creazione nel 2002 il partenariato globale si è esteso, diventando una piattaforma di coordinamento e cooperazione con 20 partner supplementari. Al vertice di Deauville nel maggio 2011 i leader hanno convenuto di rafforzare ulteriormente la sicurezza biologica, l’attuazione dell’UNSCR 1540, il coinvolgimento del mondo scientifico e la sicurezza nucleare e radiologica. Gli Stati Uniti nel 2012, il Regno Unito nel 2013 e la Russia, fino alla sua sospensione dal G8 avvenuta nel 2014, hanno portato avanti questo programma, in particolare rafforzando gli attuali cinque sottogruppi sulla sicurezza biologica, chimica, nucleare e radiologica, sui centri di eccellenza e sulla sensibilizzazione ed espansione nell’ambito del gruppo sul partenariato globale. I centri di eccellenza dell’UE continuano ad occupare un ruolo di primo piano nell’ambito del sottogruppo sui centri di eccellenza del partenariato globale, in particolare come strumento per facilitare lo scambio di informazioni su scala regionale ed evitare possibilmente duplicazioni fra i donatori. L’UE ha concordato con le priorità della Germania, definite per la sua presidenza 2014-2015, in particolare riguardo alle scienze biologiche, che si trovano in cima al programma. L’obiettivo è quello di assicurare maggiore protezione e migliore contabilità dei materiali, rafforzare la sorveglianza delle malattie e della risposta di emergenza (ossia Ebola e altre pandemie), potenziare le reti nazionali e mondiali e rafforzare un comportamento sicuro e responsabile nel campo delle scienze biologiche. Tale obiettivo va perseguito in linea con l’importante ruolo già svolto dall’UE in materia di scienze biologiche attraverso le decisioni della BTWC e del Consiglio dell’OMS nonché attraverso i tre laboratori mobili dell’UE già installati in Africa occidentale dal maggio 2014, che ben presto diventeranno quattro.

Centro internazionale di scienza e tecnologia

L’UE ha contribuito attivamente ai negoziati volti all’adozione di un accordo aggiornato per il centro internazionale di scienza e tecnologia (CIST). Il CIST mira a coinvolgere gli scienziati e ingegneri che abbiano conoscenze sul duplice uso in attività di ricerca pacifiche o programmi commerciali con l’UE e altri partner. Intende continuare a sfruttare le conoscenze sul duplice uso grazie al riorientamento e al reimpiego di scienziati competenti e potrebbe quindi contribuire a fornire soluzioni a lungo termine alle crisi legate alla proliferazione. Durante i negoziati, l’UE ha sottolineato la necessità di un accordo che consenta al CIST di attuare progetti che possano contribuire ad affrontare efficacemente le sfide che si pongono in aree problematiche sotto il profilo della proliferazione, compreso in Medio Oriente. La nuova sede del CIST è stata inaugurata ufficialmente ad Astana nel giugno 2014.

12.   RIUNIONI DI DIALOGO POLITICO

L’inviato speciale ha tenuto riunioni di dialogo politico sulla non proliferazione e il disarmo con Brasile, Egitto, Giappone, Stati Uniti e Israele. Ha inoltre tenuto una serie di altre consultazioni bilaterali con vari attori, anche a margine di importanti eventi quali la conferenza di revisione del TNP del 2015 a New York (l’Alto rappresentante dell’ONU per gli affari del disarmo, il direttore dell’UNIDIR, gli Stati Uniti, la Repubblica di Corea, Israele, l’Egitto ecc.).
