RAPORT SEMESTRIAL PRIVIND PROGRESELE ÎNREGISTRATE CU PRIVIRE LA PUNEREA ÎN APLICARE A STRATEGIEI UE ÎMPOTRIVA PROLIFERĂRII ARMELOR DE DISTRUGERE ÎN MASĂ (2015/I)

(2015/C 296/01)

INTRODUCERE

În conformitate cu Strategia UE împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă, adoptată de Consiliul European în decembrie 2003 (doc. 15708/03), sunt prevăzute rapoarte privind progresele înregistrate cu privire la punerea în aplicare a strategiei o dată la șase luni. Acest raport privind progresele înregistrate are drept obiect activitățile desfășurate în prima jumătate a anului 2015.

Principiile directoare ale UE în domeniu, în conformitate cu obiectivele Strategiei europene de securitate, ale Strategiei UE privind neproliferarea ADM, precum și cu Noile linii de acțiune (documentul 17172/08), sunt în continuare:

| (i) | multilateralismul eficient, inclusiv promovarea universalității tratatelor, a convențiilor și a altor instrumente internaționale și punerea în aplicare a acestora la nivel național, prin acțiuni diplomatice și asistență financiară pentru țările terțe și organizațiile internaționale; |

(iii)

utilizarea eficace și complementară a tuturor instrumentelor și resurselor financiare disponibile – bugetul PESC, Instrumentul care contribuie la stabilitate și la pace (IcSP), alte instrumente – pentru a maximiza impactul activităților sale în urmărirea obiectivelor de politică externă ale UE.

Prin urmare, lucrările sunt de asemenea strâns coordonate în cadrul activităților mai largi întreprinse de UE în domeniul politicii de securitate și al prevenirii conflictelor.

Consilierul principal, trimis special pentru neproliferare și dezarmare, al SEAE a reprezentat UE într-o serie de reuniuni internaționale de importanță majoră pe parcursul primei jumătăți a anului 2015 (în special în cadrul Grupului directorilor pe probleme de neproliferare al G7, care a avut loc la Aachen în luna ianuarie și la Hamburg în luna martie, al Conferinței de revizuire a TNP din 2015 desfășurate în lunile aprilie-mai, precum și al consultărilor privind chestiuni de neproliferare și dezarmare derulate cu o serie de țări terțe).

În primul semestru al anului 2015, trimisul special s-a axat pe:

| — | consolidarea eforturilor de susținere a Tratatului de neproliferare nucleară (TNP), în special în contextul pregătirilor pentru Conferința de revizuire a TNP din 2015. Aceasta reprezintă în continuare o prioritate de prim ordin pentru UE, dată fiind și relevanța sa directă pentru provocările regionale majore în materie de proliferare din Iran și RPDC. UE a continuat să sprijine procesul de instituire a unei zone fără arme de distrugere în masă în Orientul Mijlociu. Trimisul special a întreținut contacte periodice cu mediatorul finlandez, ambasadorul Laajava, în legătură cu convocarea Conferinței de la Helsinki; |

1.   CHESTIUNI LEGATE DE DOMENIUL NUCLEAR

Grupul de lucru pentru neproliferare (CONOP) din cadrul Consiliului UE, în strânsă cooperare cu delegațiile UE relevante, a contribuit în mod activ la pregătirea pozițiilor UE pentru Conferința de revizuire a TNP din 2015 desfășurată în aprilie-mai, reuniunile Consiliului guvernatorilor AIEA din martie și iunie, reuniunea punctelor de contact consolidate din martie în cadrul regimului de control al tehnologiei rachetelor (MTCR), reuniunea ordinară anuală a Codului de conduită de la Haga (HCoC) din mai, reuniunile plenare ale Inițiativei globale pentru combaterea terorismului nuclear (GICNT) și ale Grupului furnizorilor nucleari (NSG) din iunie. Delegațiile UE relevante au coordonat activitățile pentru pregătirea contribuțiilor UE la alte reuniuni internaționale, cum ar fi cele ale Comisiei pregătitoare a CTBTO și ale organismelor sale subsidiare, precum și alte reuniuni relevante din cadrul mandatului său.

1.1.   Conferința de revizuire a TNP din 2015 (New York, 27 aprilie-22 mai 2015)

Concluziile Consiliului care cuprind pozițiile UE pentru cea de a noua Conferință de revizuire a părților la TNP au fost adoptate la 20 aprilie (doc. 8079/15). Pe baza concluziilor Consiliului sus-menționate, declarația generală a UE și declarațiile UE pentru fiecare dintre cele trei comisii principale din cadrul Conferinței de revizuire au fost finalizate și prezentate în cadrul evenimentului. ÎR/VP Mogherini a prezentat declarația generală a UE în a doua zi a conferinței (28 aprilie). Trei documente de lucru ale UE au fost prezentate în cadrul conferinței, și anume cu privire la: (1) CTBT, (2) garanții și (3) noua directivă Euratom privind siguranța. UE a organizat două evenimente colaterale în cadrul conferinței: unul în sprijinul Codului de conduită de la Haga împotriva proliferării rachetelor balistice (desfășurat la 8 mai) și un altul privind securitatea și siguranța nucleară (desfășurat la 14 mai). Deși Conferința de revizuire nu a fost în măsură să adopte prin consens un document final, planul de acțiune adoptat în cadrul Conferinței de revizuire a TNP din 2010 rămâne valabil, iar UE va continua să promoveze punerea în aplicare integrală, cuprinzătoare, echilibrată și substanțială a acestuia.

1.2.   Agenția Internațională a Energiei Atomice (AIEA)

UE a consolidat în continuare sprijinul acordat Agenției Internaționale a Energiei Atomice de la Viena. UE rămâne un donator major al Fondului pentru siguranță nucleară, cu aproape 40 de milioane EUR angajate începând din 2004 (inclusiv cel mai recent angajament, de a oferi agenției 8,05 milioane EUR, în temeiul Deciziei 2013/517/PESC a Consiliului din 21 octombrie 2013, care este pusă în aplicare în prezent).

În ceea ce privește alte activități în domeniul siguranței nucleare, UE a contribuit prin expertiza sa tehnică la activitățile de formare și la atelierele organizate de AIEA și de țările terțe cărora li se adresează, în vederea consolidării capacităților de combatere a traficului ilicit de materiale nucleare și alte materiale radioactive. UE și AIEA au continuat să-și coordoneze sprijinul acordat țărilor terțe în acest domeniu. Cea de a treia reuniune anuală a înalților funcționari UE-AIEA (SOM), la care au participat reprezentanți la nivel înalt ai SEAE, ai Comisiei Europene/Euratom și ai AIEA, s-a desfășurat în perioada 4-5 februarie 2015 la sediul Comisiei Europene din Luxemburg. Reuniunile SOM sunt organizate în vederea consolidării cooperării în toate domeniile de activitate ale AIEA, a sporirii vizibilității contribuțiilor UE și a coordonării în continuare a acțiunilor UE cu scopul de a asigura complementaritatea și a evita suprapunerea activităților întreprinse de centrele de excelență din domeniul CBRN ale UE cu cele întreprinse de AIEA în domeniul siguranței nucleare (în acest sens, UE – prin intermediul Centrului Comun de Cercetare al Comisiei Europene – și AIEA pun în aplicare un aranjament practic care asigură orientări pentru cooperarea dintre ele).

Din 2008, UE a angajat, prin concluzii ale Consiliului, până la 25 de milioane EUR la banca de uraniu slab îmbogățit (LEU) a AIEA. UE a transferat 20 de milioane EUR din cadrul Instrumentului care contribuie la stabilitate și pace în sprijinul băncii. O contribuție suplimentară în valoare de până la 5 milioane EUR urmează a fi acordată din bugetul PESC, pe baza unei decizii a Consiliului. Aprobarea Consiliului este încă în așteptare, depinzând de progresele în finalizarea și aprobarea diverselor acorduri, inclusiv a acordului de găzduire dintre AIEA și Kazahstan.

În domeniul garanțiilor nucleare, Direcția Garanții nucleare a Comisiei Europene continuă să aplice controlul garanțiilor asupra tuturor materialelor nucleare din domeniul civil în toate cele 28 de state membre ale UE, cu un buget anual de aproximativ 20 de milioane EUR. Activitățile de control al garanțiilor sunt coordonate în strânsă cooperare cu AIEA. AIEA și Comisia își consolidează neîntrerupt cooperarea în domeniu, în scopul utilizării optime a resurselor financiare și umane, menținând totodată cea mai înaltă eficacitate cu putință a controlului garanțiilor nucleare. De asemenea, UE a continuat să ofere sprijin tehnic important pentru AIEA în domeniul garanțiilor nucleare prin intermediul programului de sprijin al Comisiei Europene în domeniul garanțiilor.

UE a angajat 10 milioane EUR pentru sprijinirea proiectului internațional care are drept obiectiv extinderea și modernizarea laboratorului pentru garanții de la Seibersdorf din Austria (9,5 milioane EUR fiind deja transferați), în timp ce AIEA s-a îndreptat către donatori internaționali, inclusiv UE, care să contribuie, de asemenea, la modernizarea laboratorului de aplicații nucleare din Seibersdorf.

La nivel de experți, Comisia Europeană, în cooperare cu AIEA, a lansat un proces pentru evaluarea și sprijinirea îmbunătățirii bazei de date a AIEA privind traficul ilicit ca răspuns la nevoile utilizatorilor. A fost redactat un document referitor la cele mai bune practici cu privire la cultura raportării armonizate, care va fi înaintat către AIEA. Elaborarea formularului de raportare a incidentelor pe internet (web-INF), în scopul modernizării mijloacelor de raportare, a început în octombrie 2013 și va fi finalizată în curând.

În cadrul noului Instrument pentru cooperarea în materie de securitate nucleară (ICSN 2014-2020), UE a angajat 3,5 milioane EUR pentru a sprijini proiectele de cooperare în materie de securitate nucleară puse în aplicare de către agenție. Pe lângă această contribuție directă, UE și AIEA cooperează îndeaproape, în special pentru a aborda problema fostelor mine de uraniu din Asia Centrală în cadrul Grupului de coordonare pentru fostele mine de uraniu (CGULS), precum și în cadrul Forumului pentru cooperare în materie de reglementare (RCF), care coordonează sprijinul internațional pentru autoritățile de reglementare ale țărilor implicate (Belarus, Iordania, Vietnam).

Fondurile UE oferite AIEA în temeiul Acțiunilor comune I-IV, precum și al Deciziei V a Consiliului au contribuit la înregistrarea de progrese în eforturile depuse de AIEA în direcția consolidării siguranței nucleare în țări terțe, acordându-se prioritate statelor care au cea mare nevoie de a își consolida controlul materialelor radioactive și nucleare, acordându-se astfel asistență în privința reducerii riscurilor. Eforturile s-au axat pe consolidarea infrastructurii legislative și de reglementare a statelor în ceea ce privește materialele nucleare și alte materiale radioactive, măsurile de siguranță nucleară pentru materialele nucleare și alte materiale radioactive utilizate, depozitate și transportate și instalațiile lor aferente, precum și capacitățile statelor de a trata materialele nucleare și radioactive care nu fac obiectul controlului național de reglementare, dând astfel țărilor cărora li s-a acordat asistență posibilitatea de a-și îndeplini obligațiile naționale și internaționale. Cea mai recentă decizie a Consiliului (AIEA VI, 2013/517/PESC), adoptată la 21 octombrie 2013, contribuie la sporirea suplimentară a siguranței nucleare în întreaga lume și la consolidarea securității europene, prin acordarea de sprijin pentru activitățile AIEA întreprinse în cadrul Planului de siguranță nucleară 2014-2017, cu precădere în domeniile menționate anterior.

1.3.   Tratatul de interzicere totală a experiențelor nucleare (CTBT)

UE a promovat activ intrarea în vigoare rapidă a Tratatului de interzicere totală a experiențelor nucleare (CTBT), pe baza Deciziei 2012/699/PESC a Consiliului din 13 noiembrie 2012 în sprijinul Organizației Tratatului de Interzicere Totală a Experiențelor Nucleare (CTBTO) și prin eforturi de informare a tuturor țărilor care încă nu au semnat sau ratificat CTBT, inclusiv a ultimelor state rămase în anexa II, a căror ratificare este necesară pentru intrarea în vigoare a tratatului. UE continuă sensibilizarea cu privire la CTBT în diferite contexte, inclusiv în întâlnirile consacrate dialogului politic, pentru a crea o dinamică suplimentară pentru ratificarea tratatului.

ÎR/VP Mogherini a avut o întâlnire bilaterală cu secretarul executiv al Comisiei pregătitoare a CTBTO, Lassina Zerbo, în marja Conferinței de revizuire a TNP din 2015 la New York. De asemenea, Uniunea Europeană a prezentat un document de lucru cu privire la CTBT în cadrul Conferinței de revizuire.

Trimisul special pentru neproliferare și dezarmare a participat la evenimentul la nivel înalt al CTBTO desfășurat în marja atelierului intitulat „Exercițiul de teren integrat 2014 în cadrul sistemului de inspecții la fața locului: informare și calea de urmat”, organizat în aprilie la Ramat-Gan (Israel) și a observat în mod direct rezultatele și concluziile asociate ale IFE14. În acest context, acesta a prezentat observații evidențiind atât sprijinul politic, cât și sprijinul financiar al UE pentru universalizarea și punerea în aplicare eficace a CTBT.

Testul nuclear efectuat de RPDC la 12 februarie 2013 și riscurile efectuării de posibile noi teste au demonstrat fără echivoc importanța reală a regimului de verificare al CTBTO, care este elaborat în prezent și pe care UE îl sprijină prin intermediul deciziilor Consiliului. Echipele CTBTO au fost mobilizate pentru a pune la dispoziția tuturor țărilor care au semnat CTBT date relevante aferente liniilor de urgență, în vederea informării factorilor de decizie. Eforturile legate de întreținerea rețelei de stații seismice auxiliare, sprijinite prin Acțiunile comune/Deciziile Consiliului I-V, precum și punerea în funcțiune a Centrului internațional de date al CTBTO (care colectează, analizează și difuzează date provenite de la rețeaua de stații) vor contribui la sustenabilitatea necesară a sistemului. În plus, este extrem de importantă sprijinirea Secretariatului tehnic provizoriu al CTBTO în efectuarea unor noi exerciții, precum cel desfășurat în Iordania, în vederea testării și a îmbunătățirii capabilităților operaționale ale sistemului de inspecții la fața locului.

1.4.   Aspecte regionale (Iran, RPDC)

UE și-a menținut angajamentul deplin față de eforturile în curs destinate găsirii unei soluții diplomatice la chestiunea nucleară iraniană prin negocieri, pe baza TNP și prin punerea în aplicare integrală a tuturor rezoluțiilor CSONU și ale Consiliului guvernatorilor AIEA relevante. Buna punere în aplicare a acordului interimar cunoscut sub denumirea de Planul comun de acțiune (PCdA) încheiat între E3/UE+3 și Iran la Geneva în noiembrie 2013, care a fost prelungit până la 30 iunie 2015, a furnizat spațiul necesar pentru procesul diplomatic în curs. De la demararea punerii în aplicare a PCdA, UE, în calitate de facilitator al negocierilor nucleare ale grupului E3 + 3 (China, Franța, Germania, Rusia, Regatul Unit și Statele Unite), a lansat negocieri cu Iranul pentru a ajunge la o soluție cuprinzătoare pe termen lung la problema nucleară iraniană, așa cum se preconizează în Planul comun de acțiune. În cadrul reuniunii de la Lausanne din 2 aprilie 2015, Înaltul Reprezentant al UE și miniștrii de externe ai grupului E3 + 3 și Iranul au ajuns la o înțelegere politică privind parametrii-cheie pentru un acord cuprinzător cu privire la chestiunea nucleară iraniană. De atunci, se desfășoară lucrări, la nivel de directori politici și la nivel de experți, pentru a transpune înțelegerile de la Lausanne într-un acord scris până la sfârșitul lunii iunie, când expiră acordul interimar. În paralel cu demersul E3/UE+3, cadrul de cooperare dintre AIEA și Iran urmărește să rezolve toate problemele nesoluționate prezente și trecute, inclusiv cele care se referă la posibile dimensiuni militare. În temeiul cadrului de cooperare dintre AIEA și Iran, au avut loc mai multe reuniuni tehnice. Cu toate acestea, Iranul nu a implementat încă cele două măsuri practice neabordate și nici nu a propus vreo măsură practică nouă în cea de a treia etapă a cadrului de cooperare, în ciuda solicitărilor repetate din partea agenției.

UE este în continuare îngrijorată de faptul că Iranul dezvoltă și testează rachete balistice și vehicule de lansare spațială, încălcând Rezoluțiile 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 și 1929 ale CSONU. UE a condamnat în mod repetat activitățile menționate, deoarece acestea presupun riscul inerent al utilizării unui dispozitiv exploziv nuclear ca armă. În ceea ce privește RPDC, UE este în continuare extrem de îngrijorată cu privire la evoluția actuală a programelor sale nucleare și de rachete balistice, precum și cu privire la prioritatea politică stabilită de regim în privința ameliorării capabilităților sale nucleare. UE a continuat să îndemne RPDC să își respecte obligațiile asumate în temeiul rezoluțiilor Consiliului de Securitate al ONU relevante, inclusiv prin renunțarea la toate programele sale nucleare, cele privind alte arme de distrugere în masă și programele de rachete balistice existente, într-un mod complet, verificabil și ireversibil. UE a făcut în continuare apel la RPDC să revină la o respectare deplină a TNP și a obligațiilor de garanții ale AIEA și să acorde AIEA accesul solicitat la persoane, documente, echipamente și instalații. UE a sprijinit și sprijină permanent reluarea procesului convorbirilor Grupului celor șase și a solicitat RPDC să revină la negocieri internaționale credibile și autentice. Pe lângă punerea în aplicare a rezoluțiilor Consiliului de Securitate al ONU, UE a introdus, de asemenea, măsuri restrictive autonome suplimentare, inclusiv un control mai strict al produselor cu dublă utilizare și al proliferării armelor convenționale. UE și-a reînnoit apelul la adresa RPDC, solicitându-i să ratifice CTBT și să se abțină de la orice nou act provocator. RPDC continuă să sfideze rezoluțiile 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 și 2094 ale CSONU, acest lucru fiind condamnat de UE în termenii cei mai fermi.

2.   CONFERINȚA PENTRU DEZARMARE (CD)/TRATATUL DE INTERZICERE A PRODUCERII DE MATERIAL FISIL PENTRU ARME NUCLEARE SAU ALTE DISPOZITIVE EXPLOZIVE NUCLEARE

UE își menține angajamentul privind dezarmarea nucleară și controlul armelor nucleare pe baza tratatelor și subliniază necesitatea de a se reînnoi eforturile multilaterale și de a se reactiva organele multilaterale de negociere, în special Conferința pentru Dezarmare (CD), și analizează în acest sens, printre altele, posibilitatea de extindere viitoare a acesteia. Blocajul său curent, inclusiv eșecul constant de a conveni asupra unui program de lucru, rămâne un motiv de preocupare.

UE își reiterează apelul la demararea imediată și încheierea rapidă a negocierilor din cadrul Conferinței pentru Dezarmare referitoare la un Tratat de interzicere a producerii de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau alte dispozitive explozive nucleare, pe baza documentului CD/1299 și a mandatului inclus în acesta, care rămân în continuare o prioritate clară. UE face apel la toate statele care nu au făcut încă acest lucru să declare și să susțină un moratoriu imediat privind producerea de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau alte dispozitive explozive nucleare, precum și să dezafecteze instalațiile destinate producerii de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau să le convertească exclusiv pentru o utilizare care nu este de natură explozivă. UE salută acțiunea acelora dintre cele cinci state care dețin arme nucleare, în special a celor două state membre ale UE, care au declarat moratorii relevante și au dezafectat sau au convertit astfel de instalații.

De asemenea, UE salută discuțiile constructive și încheierea cu succes a reuniunilor Grupului de experți guvernamentali din 2014 și 2015 și își exprimă încrederea că raportul lor va pune bazele pentru negocierile viitoare.

3.   ARMELE CHIMICE

La 17 februarie, a fost adoptată Decizia (PESC) 2015/259 a Consiliului pentru perioada 2015-2017, care pune la dispoziția OIAC aproximativ 2,5 milioane EUR pentru a sprijini activități precum promovarea universalității, punerea în aplicare la nivel național, cooperarea internațională, programul Africa și punerea în aplicare a lecțiilor învățate în urma operației siriene. Această decizie a Consiliului reprezintă cea de a șasea contribuție voluntară a UE la activitățile OIAC începând din 2005, ca semn de sprijin continuu și ca recunoaștere a activității importante desfășurate de către organizație.

UE a continuat sprijinirea Organizației pentru Interzicerea Armelor Chimice (OIAC) pentru programul de eliminare a armelor chimice siriene prin prelungirea valabilității deciziei privind contribuția la Fondul fiduciar al OIAC cu 12 milioane EUR din IcSP. La cererea OIAC, UE analizează în prezent posibilitatea de a contribui suplimentar la distrugerea instalațiilor siriene rămase de producere a armelor chimice și stoparea activităților conexe.

Decizia 2014/74/PESC a Consiliului din 11 februarie 2014 și Regulamentul (UE) nr. 124/2014 al Consiliului din 10 februarie 2014 au introdus o derogare privind o eventuală utilizare a activelor siriene înghețate pentru a acoperi cheltuielile legate de activitățile de verificare și distrugere ale OIAC în Siria. În noiembrie 2014, UE a adresat o scrisoare directorului general al OIAC, prin care îl informa pe acesta în legătură cu posibilitatea menționată și îi solicita să abordeze autoritățile siriene în acest sens. Propunerea a fost transmisă autorităților siriene, care nu au acceptat-o până în prezent. Cu toate acestea, UE continuă să revină asupra acestei propuneri cu orice ocazie potrivită și în declarațiile UE în cadrul OIAC.

În urma celei de a treia Conferințe de revizuire (aprilie 2013) a Convenției privind armele chimice (CWC), UE a continuat să se axeze pe prioritățile sale, în special: (i) încheierea distrugerii depozitelor existente; (ii) promovarea universalității CWC (la 14 octombrie 2013, Siria a devenit cel de al 190-lea stat parte la convenție); (iii) punerea în aplicare la nivel național în conformitate cu articolul VII; (iv) trecerea la eforturile de neproliferare; (v) promovarea consolidării capacităților cu privire la siguranță și securitate în industria chimică în țările în curs de dezvoltare, în conformitate cu articolul XI, și răspunsul la utilizarea armelor chimice, în temeiul articolului X.

În ciuda necesității de a îndeplini încă unele dintre obiectivele centrale inițiale ale CWC, UE și statele sale membre au inițiat un proces de reflecție pentru a discerne etapa ulterioară distrugerii armelor chimice și treptat încep să aibă în vedere provocările pentru viitoarea relevanță (și anume interzicerea reapariției armelor chimice, utilizarea de către actorii nestatali și teroriști, convergența cu biologia) și, prin urmare, eficacitatea convenției. În acest sens, UE va examina cu atenție nota OIAC emisă recent, intitulată „OIAC în 2025: asigurarea unei lumi fără arme chimice”, documentul S/1252/2015 din 6 martie 2015, cu scopul de a contribui la dezbaterea relevantă din cadrul organelor competente ale OIAC.

În ceea ce privește impactul sprijinului UE, toate țările care au fost selectate să primească asistență au utilizat-o pentru remedierea unor lacune tehnice esențiale, ceea ce a permis acestor state-părți să înregistreze progrese semnificative în punerea în aplicare a CWC la nivel național. În mod concret, se poate remarca faptul că deciziile Consiliului UE rămân singurele mijloace posibile de a oferi acest tip de asistență pentru abordarea neajunsurilor de la nivelul punerii în aplicare. Dintre cele 90 de subproiecte de implementare naționale realizate de Secretariatul tehnic al OIAC în ultimii ani, aproximativ jumătate nu ar fi putut fi realizate fără fonduri provenite din acțiuni comune/decizii ale Consiliului. În ceea ce privește prioritatea UE privind promovarea universalității, de la adoptarea primei acțiuni comune au aderat la convenție 19 țări în total, iar patru dintre cele care au aderat la convenție în 2005 fuseseră implicate într-o activitate de informare finanțată printr-o acțiune comună a UE/decizie a Consiliului; acesta a fost cazul tuturor țărilor care au aderat în anii următori.

4.   ARMELE BIOLOGICE

Înaintea celei de a opta Conferințe de revizuire a BTWC (Geneva, noiembrie/decembrie 2016), UE a desfășurat acțiuni în vederea negocierii și a unei eventuale adoptări viitoare atât a unei noi decizii a Consiliului în sprijinul BTWC, cât și a unei poziții comune a UE în vederea următoarei Conferințe de revizuire.

UE este, de asemenea, implicată în sprijinirea îmbunătățirilor la nivelul biosecurității și al biosiguranței. În acest sens, Decizia 2013/668/PESC a Consiliului adoptată la 18 noiembrie 2013 oferă peste 1,7 milioane EUR pentru sprijinirea, prin intermediul expertizei tehnice a Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății, proiectelor care vizează promovarea, în anumite state-părți selecționate, a sensibilizării la riscurile biologice, a gestionării în laborator a riscurilor biologice, precum și a elaborării de strategii la nivelul laboratoarelor naționale.

5.   RACHETE BALISTICE

5.1.   Codul de conduită de la Haga (HCoC)

UE consideră Codul de conduită de la Haga împotriva proliferării rachetelor balistice (HCoC) drept un instrument multilateral unic care vizează diminuarea proliferării sistemelor de rachete balistice și a tehnologiilor conexe, prin măsuri de consolidare a transparenței și a încrederii, și l-a sprijinit cu fermitate încă de la inițierea acestuia. Toate statele membre ale UE au aderat la cod. UE a urmărit și a sprijinit în continuare cele trei aspecte ale codului: universalitatea, punerea în aplicare și o funcționare consolidată și îmbunătățită.

Punerea în aplicare a unei noi decizii a Consiliului (2014/913/PESC) în sprijinul HCoC, adoptată de Consiliu la 15 decembrie 2014, a început în primăvara anului 2015. În temeiul acestei decizii a Consiliului, un eveniment colateral a fost organizat de UE în mai 2015, în marja Conferinței de revizuire a TNP. UE a fost reprezentată de șeful delegației UE la Viena. S-au făcut trimiteri clare la finanțarea din partea UE, al căror ecou s-a regăsit în aproape toate discursurile vorbitorilor. Evenimentul a fost transmis în direct pe internet.

Statele membre ale UE lucrează la punerea în aplicare a Deciziei 2014/913/PESC a Consiliului din 15 decembrie 2014 în sprijinul HCoC și al neproliferării rachetelor balistice.

5.2.   Regimul de control al tehnologiei rachetelor (MTCR)

Reuniunea plenară a MTCR din 2014 a avut loc la 1-3 octombrie la Oslo, ocazie cu care a fost emisă o declarație a UE. În martie 2015, a fost organizată o reuniune a punctelor de contact consolidate ale MTCR, în cadrul căreia SEAE a prezentat o declarație cuprinzătoare.

Patru țări din UE din rândul UE9 și-au reînnoit cererea de aderare la MTCR: România, Estonia, Slovenia și Croația.

În cadrul plenarei din 2014 de la Oslo, Luxemburg și Țările de Jos au anunțat că vor prelua rolul președinției comune a MCTR pentru perioada 2015-2016.

6.   ATENUAREA RISCURILOR REPREZENTATE DE CBRN

UE a continuat să înregistreze progrese în ceea ce privește punerea în aplicare a Planului de acțiune CBRN (chimic, biologic, radioactiv și nuclear) al UE, adoptat în 2009, iar până în prezent au fost sprijinite aproximativ 30 de proiecte prin Programul de prevenire și combatere a infracționalității (ISEC).

În plus, o serie de proiecte de cercetare legate de CBRN, finanțate prin programul „O societate sigură” în cadrul celui de Al 7-lea program cadru, oferă sprijin științific și tehnic Planului de acțiune CBRN prin progrese ale cercetării care acoperă întregul ciclu de gestionare a crizelor (de la prevenire la redresare). De asemenea, sunt în curs activități de identificare a nevoilor de standardizare în acest domeniu, care ar putea duce la standarde „European Norms” (EN). Programul Orizont 2020 (2014-2020) va consolida eforturile în curs din cadrul cercetării CBRN prin teme bine definite, programul de lucru în acest sens fiind adoptat la 10 decembrie 2013.

Un raport din 2012 privind progresele înregistrate în punerea în aplicare a planului de acțiune a evidențiat realizările principale, în special în ceea ce privește schimbul consolidat de informații și de bune practici, organizarea de exerciții de formare comune, precum și acordul obținut cu privire la trei liste ale UE de substanțe cu grad ridicat de risc din domeniul chimic, biologic și, respectiv, radiologic și nuclear.

Pentru implementarea planului actual de acțiune până în 2015 și pentru definirea noii agende CBRN-E, Comisia conlucrează strâns cu autoritățile din statele membre și cu alte părți interesate relevante din cadrul Grupului consultativ CBRN-E și al subgrupurilor acestuia, care se reunesc periodic.

În mai 2014, Comisia Europeană a adoptat o comunicare privind o nouă abordare a UE în materie de detectare și atenuare a riscurilor CBRN-E [documentul COM(2014) 247 final]. În comunicare, Comisia își propune să faciliteze cooperarea practică pentru detectarea și atenuarea riscurilor CBRN-E la nivelul UE, inclusiv colaborând cu sectorul industrial, cu operatorii de instalații în care se manipulează materiale CBRN-E (producătorii de echipamente și furnizorii de servicii de securitate) și cu alte părți interesate. Documentul conține un set de 30 de măsuri care urmează să fie puse în aplicare în viitorul foarte apropiat de către diferite servicii ale Comisiei, în cooperare cu statele membre. Se vor elabora instrumente concrete, de la materiale de orientare, formare și sensibilizare până la activități de testare.

În prezent, Comisia colectează contribuții din partea statelor membre, precum și din partea altor instituții și servicii europene relevante, cu scopul de a prezenta, până la sfârșitul anului, un raport final privind progresele înregistrate în punerea în aplicare a planului de acțiune 2009. În același timp, Comisia va prezenta idei pentru activitatea viitoare în domeniul CBRN-E.

Inițiativa „Centrele de excelență pentru atenuarea riscurilor în domeniul CBRN ale UE” (CoE), finanțată prin Instrumentul care contribuie la stabilitate și pace, a fost lansată de UE în mai 2010. Centrele de excelență în domeniul CBRN ale UE sunt create ca răspuns la recunoașterea capacității instituționale insuficiente a mai multor țări de a atenua riscul reprezentat de CBRN: activități infracționale (proliferare sau terorism în domeniul CBRN), dezastre naturale și accidentale (accidente industriale). Obiectivul acestora este de a elabora o politică în materie de CBRN vizând toate pericolele la nivel național și regional pentru a anticipa și a răspunde acestor riscuri. Pe scurt, acestea sunt măsuri structurale pentru reducerea vulnerabilității țărilor la evenimente de tip CBRN în interesul reciproc al regiunilor și al securității UE.

Acest obiectiv poate fi atins prin sprijinirea creării unor rețele regionale de experți în chestiuni juridice, de reglementare, tehnice, de control și de aplicare a legii cu privire la atenuarea riscurilor reprezentate de CBRN, în urma unei abordări ascendente și transfrontaliere pentru a identifica prioritățile regionale care nu pot fi soluționate doar la nivel național.

7.   GRUPURI DE REFLECȚIE

Pe baza Deciziei 2010/430/PESC a Consiliului din 26 iulie 2010, lucrările UE din cadrul Strategiei UE împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă au fost sprijinite în mod activ de Consorțiul UE pentru neproliferare, care și-a început activitatea în ianuarie 2011. O nouă decizie, adoptată la 10 martie 2014, a prelungit cu încă trei ani activitățile consorțiului, atât prin valorificarea realizărilor și a experiențelor acumulate în perioada 2011-2013, cât și prin adăugarea de proiecte noi și inovatoare.

Activitățile consorțiului au sporit vizibilitatea UE față de țările terțe și de societatea civilă și au contribuit substanțial la definirea politicilor UE în domeniul neproliferării și al dezarmării. Consorțiul oferă o platformă pentru contacte informale între practicieni și ajută la promovarea dialogului între diferitele părți interesate. Rețeaua consorțiului numără peste 65 de grupuri de reflecție din întreaga Europă. Activitatea a contribuit la sensibilizarea cu privire la provocările reprezentate de armele nucleare, chimice și biologice.

8.   REZOLUȚIA 1540 A CONSILIULUI DE SECURITATE AL ORGANIZAȚIEI NAȚIUNILOR UNITE ȘI CONTROLUL EXPORTURILOR

(a)   RCSONU 1540

Decizia Consiliului de sprijinire a Rezoluției 1540 a Consiliului de Securitate al ONU, adoptată de Consiliu la 22 iulie 2013, este pusă în aplicare de ODA al ONU, care organizează ateliere regionale și vizite de asistență în diferite țări din întreaga lume. Punerea în aplicare a acestei decizii a Consiliului contribuie la consolidarea eforturilor relevante de la nivel național și regional, contribuie la punerea în practică a recomandărilor cuprinse în Evaluarea globală 2009 privind stadiul punerii în aplicare a RCSONU 1540 și inițiază și dezvoltă planuri naționale de acțiune, la cererea statelor.

ODA al ONU a semnat un acord cu OSCE, din care vor decurge sinergii în sprijinul RCSONU 1540. Sunt urmărite sinergii și cu centrele de excelență din domeniul CBRN ale UE, precum și coordonarea cu acestea, inclusiv pentru a evita eventualele suprapuneri. Peste 15 evenimente au fost deja organizate cu ajutorul fondurilor UE, ultimul având loc în Iordania în iunie 2015.

(b)   Controlul exporturilor

Ca urmare a adoptării, la 24 aprilie 2014, a unei comunicări a Comisiei privind revizuirea regimului UE de control al exporturilor, care identifică opțiuni concrete de politică pentru modernizarea controlului exporturilor și adaptarea acestuia la evoluția rapidă a circumstanțelor tehnologice, economice și politice, Parlamentul European a organizat o audiere publică în ianuarie 2015. În ceea ce o privește, Comisia a lansat o evaluare a impactului opțiunilor de revizuire descrise în comunicare, cu scopul de a identifica cele mai adecvate acțiuni de reglementare și de altă natură și de a le pune în aplicare și a încheiat un contract, în decembrie 2014, cu Institutul Internațional pentru Cercetare în Domeniul Păcii din Stockholm (SIPRI) pentru colectarea de date care să sprijine evaluarea impactului și să pregătească terenul pentru elaborarea unor reglementări revizuite în materie de control al exporturilor.

În privința reglementării, ca urmare a delegării de competențe acordate în temeiul Regulamentului (UE) nr. 599/2014, Regulamentul delegat (UE) nr. 1382/2014 al Comisiei de actualizare a listei de control a UE din perspectiva deciziilor luate în cadrul regimurilor multilaterale de control al exporturilor în 2011-2013 a intrat în vigoare în decembrie 2014. În martie 2015, Comisia a inițiat pregătiri, în consultare cu experții din statele membre, pentru un nou regulament delegat de actualizare a listei de control a UE din perspectiva deciziilor luate în cadrul regimurilor în 2014.

Punerea în aplicare a controlului exporturilor a fost susținută de trei reuniuni ale Grupului de coordonare pentru produse cu dublă utilizare în prima jumătate a anului 2015, concentrându-se în special asupra introducerii de noi funcționalități în „sistemul electronic pentru produse cu dublă utilizare” și a schimbului tehnic de informații referitor la diverse probleme legate de control.

A existat o coordonare a UE în scopul promovării pozițiilor convenite ale UE în cadrul reuniunilor relevante privind regimurile de control al exporturilor care au avut loc în primul semestru al anului 2015 (Grupul furnizorilor nucleari: reuniunile grupului consultativ din aprilie de la Viena și din iunie de la Bariloche/Argentina, precum și reuniunea plenară din iunie de la Bariloche/Argentina; regimul de control al tehnologiei rachetelor: reuniunea punctelor de contact consolidate de la Paris din martie 2015, Grupul Australia: reuniunea plenară din iunie de la Perth/Australia).

A continuat programul UE de informare privind controlul exporturilor pentru consolidarea capacității administrative și tehnice din țările terțe (23) de a gestiona produsele cu dublă utilizare. Programul de informare a pus în aplicare noi activități în Maroc, Tunisia, Iordania, Pakistan și Serbia. A fost acordată o atenție deosebită cooperării intensive cu programul Departamentului de Stat al SUA privind controlul exporturilor și securitatea conexă a frontierelor (EXBS) pentru a crește sinergiile dintre cele două programe. Au fost organizate seminare ad-hoc la Kiev și Košice, cu scopul de a promova cooperarea transregională și transfrontalieră în materie de control al comerțului strategic cu Ucraina, Georgia și Republica Moldova, precum și cu statele membre ale UE din est. Un portal de informare al UE (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) a fost instituit ca platformă sub forma unui ghișeu unic pentru toate programele de informare ale UE (produsele cu dublă utilizare, ARME și TCA), cu scopul de a personaliza schimbul de informații cu țările partenere ale UE. O conferință specială cu țările partenere, pe tema „provocărilor noi și în evoluție” legate de controlul exporturilor, a avut loc în ianuarie 2015. Un studiu privind provocările în materie de control al exporturilor din Africa a fost finalizat. Programul este finanțat în baza Instrumentului care contribuie la stabilitate și pace.

9.   SPAȚIU

Din 2007, UE promovează elaborarea unui cod de conduită internațional pentru activitățile din spațiul cosmic. Acest set de orientări și de măsuri de consolidare a încrederii, internaționale și cu utilizare voluntară, ar consolida siguranța, securitatea și previzibilitatea tuturor activităților spațiale. Printre altele, aceste orientări ar limita sau ar minimiza interferențele nocive, coliziunile sau accidentele din spațiul cosmic, precum și producerea de deșeuri. Ar stabili normele de bază care ar trebui respectate de către națiunile care navighează în spațiul cosmic, atât în cadrul activităților spațiale civile, cât și al celor militare.

UE a derulat trei runde de consultări multilaterale deschise privind proiectul de text al codului la Kiev (mai 2013), Bangkok (noiembrie 2013) și Luxemburg (mai 2014). În total, 95 de state membre ale ONU au participat la procesul de consultare (61 de țări au fost prezente la fiecare rundă a consultărilor). Procesul consultărilor deschise, încheiat prin reuniunea de la Luxemburg, a jucat un rol prețios în dezvoltarea unei mai bune înțelegeri a pozițiilor și a preocupărilor statelor participante. La sfârșitul reuniunii, președintele a concluzionat că există un larg interes internațional în ceea ce privește inițiativa. Multe țări și-au exprimat dorința ca procesul să fie direcționat înspre o etapă de negociere, în cadrul căreia proiectul de cod elaborat pe parcursul procesului consultativ ar putea servi drept bază pentru viitoarele negocieri multilaterale.

În coordonare cu țările cu opinii similare și cu asistența Biroului pentru probleme de dezarmare al ONU, UE a programat negocieri multilaterale asupra propunerii sale privind un proiect de cod de conduită internațional pentru activitățile din spațiul cosmic, care urmează să aibă loc la New York, în perioada 27–31 iulie 2015. Toate statele membre ale ONU vor fi invitate la această reuniune.

10.   CLAUZELE REFERITOARE LA NEPROLIFERAREA ADM

UE a continuat, în conformitate cu Strategia sa de neproliferare a ADM, să integreze chestiunea neproliferării ADM în relațiile sale contractuale cu state terțe. Au avut loc noi negocieri cu privire la clauzele referitoare la neproliferarea ADM din acordurile relevante dintre UE și țări terțe, în special cu Malaysia. Negocierile contribuie la sensibilizarea cu privire la politica UE de neproliferare și de dezarmare și oferă un forum pentru sporirea înțelegerii reciproce a pozițiilor relevante, pentru identificarea unor domenii potențiale pentru cooperarea viitoare, precum și pentru încurajarea țărilor partenere să avanseze în mod concret în ceea ce privește regimul internațional de neproliferare.

11.   ALTE FORURI MULTILATERALE

G7

UE a continuat să se implice în mod activ în cadrul reuniunilor directorilor pe probleme de neproliferare și dezarmare (Aachen, 28-29 ianuarie, și Hamburg, 4-5 martie), ceea ce a dus la negocierea reușită a unei declarații legate de neproliferare și dezarmare, anexată la declarația miniștrilor de externe de la Lubeck din 15 aprilie.

De la crearea sa, în 2002, Parteneriatul global s-a extins pentru a deveni o platformă de coordonare și cooperare, numărând în prezent 20 de noi parteneri. La summitul de la Deauville din mai 2011, liderii au convenit să consolideze în continuare securitatea biologică, punerea în aplicare a RCSONU 1540, implicarea oamenilor de știință, precum și siguranța nucleară și radiologică. SUA în 2012, Regatul Unit în 2013 și Rusia până la suspendarea sa din G8 în 2014, au continuat această agendă, mai ales prin consolidarea celor cinci subgrupuri de lucru existente privind securitatea biologică, securitatea chimică, siguranța nucleară și radiologică, centrele de excelență (CoE), precum și informarea și extinderea în cadrul Grupului de lucru pentru Parteneriatul global. Centrele de excelență ale UE joacă în continuare un rol major în cadrul Subgrupului de lucru privind centrele de excelență pentru Parteneriatul global, în special ca instrument pentru a facilita schimbul de informații la nivel regional și, eventual, a evita duplicarea între donatori. UE a împărtășit prioritățile definite de Germania pentru președinția sa din 2014-2015, în special în ceea ce privește bioștiințele, care ocupă primele locuri pe ordinea de zi. Obiectivul este asigurarea unei securități și a unei responsabilități sporite în privința materialelor, îmbunătățirea supravegherii bolilor și a răspunsului în situații de urgență (cum ar fi Ebola și alte pandemii), consolidarea rețelelor naționale și globale, precum și a unei conduite sigure și responsabile în domeniul bioștiințelor. Acest lucru este în conformitate cu rolul important jucat deja de UE în domeniul bioștiințelor prin intermediul deciziilor Consiliului în sprijinul BTWC și OMS, precum și prin intermediul celor trei laboratoare mobile ale UE – al căror număr se va ridica în curând la patru –, care au fost instalate în Africa de Vest începând cu mai 2014.

Centrul Internațional pentru Știință și Tehnologie

UE a contribuit în mod activ la negocierile referitoare la adoptarea unui acord actualizat privind Centrul Internațional pentru Știință și Tehnologie (ISTC). ISTC are ca obiectiv implicarea oamenilor de știință și a inginerilor care dețin cunoștințe cu dublă utilizare în activități de cercetare sau programe comerciale pașnice cu UE și cu alți parteneri. Acesta urmărește să utilizeze în continuare cunoștințele cu dublă utilizare prin redirecționarea și redistribuirea oamenilor de știință relevanți și ar putea astfel juca un rol în procesul oferirii unor soluții pe termen lung în privința crizelor de proliferare. Pe parcursul negocierilor, UE a subliniat necesitatea unui acord care să permită ISTC să pună în aplicare proiecte care ar putea contribui la abordarea efectivă a provocărilor în regiunile în care există preocupări legate de proliferare, inclusiv în Orientul Mijlociu. Noua filială a ISTC a fost deschisă oficial la Astana în iunie 2014.

12.   ÎNTÂLNIRI CONSACRATE DIALOGULUI POLITIC

Trimisul special a organizat întâlniri consacrate dialogului politic cu privire la neproliferare și dezarmare cu Brazilia, Egipt, Japonia, SUA și Israel. Acesta a organizat de asemenea o serie de alte consultări bilaterale cu diverși actori, inclusiv în marja unor evenimente importante, precum Conferința de revizuire a TNP din 2015 de la New York (Înaltul Reprezentant al ONU pentru probleme de dezarmare, directorul UNIDIR, SUA, Republica Coreea, Israel, Egipt etc.).

Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilisation of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD. | Wojskowy Instytut Higieny i Epidemiologii | 3 9 14  034 | 12/2013-12/2016 |

Strengthening Capacities in CBRN Response and in Chemical and Medical Emergency

The CBRN emergency response needs to be identified and prioritised per country. Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilisation of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD.
