IGA KUUE KUU TAGANT KOOSTATAV EDUARUANNE MASSIHÄVITUSRELVADE LEVIKU VASTASE ELI STRATEEGIA RAKENDAMISE KOHTA (2015/I)

(2015/C 296/01)

SISSEJUHATUS

Kooskõlas Euroopa Ülemkogu poolt 2003. aasta detsembris vastu võetud massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegiaga (dok 15708/03) koostatakse iga kuue kuu tagant eduaruanne strateegia rakendamise kohta. Käesolev eduaruanne hõlmab 2015. aasta esimesel poolaastal toimunud tegevust.

Kooskõlas Euroopa julgeolekustrateegia, massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia ning uute tegevussuundade (dok 17172/08) eesmärkidega on ELi juhtpõhimõtted selles valdkonnas jätkuvalt:

| i) | tõhus mitmepoolsus, sealhulgas rahvusvaheliste lepingute, konventsioonide ja muude vahendite ülemaailmse kohaldamise ning riigisisese rakendamise edendamine diplomaatilise tegevuse ning kolmandatele riikidele ja rahvusvahelistele organisatsioonidele antava finantsabi kaudu; |

i)

tõhus mitmepoolsus, sealhulgas rahvusvaheliste lepingute, konventsioonide ja muude vahendite ülemaailmse kohaldamise ning riigisisese rakendamise edendamine diplomaatilise tegevuse ning kolmandatele riikidele ja rahvusvahelistele organisatsioonidele antava finantsabi kaudu;

| ii) | tihe koostöö partnerite ja muude kolmandate riikidega, püüdes üleilmselt lähendada seisukohti massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korra tugevdamise vajalikkuse küsimuses. Jätkuvalt on tehtud jõupingutusi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuste lahendamiseks ELi kahepoolsetes suhetes kõikide asjaomaste riikidega, eelkõige poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste ja mitteametlikumate kontaktide kaudu; |

ii)

tihe koostöö partnerite ja muude kolmandate riikidega, püüdes üleilmselt lähendada seisukohti massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korra tugevdamise vajalikkuse küsimuses. Jätkuvalt on tehtud jõupingutusi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuste lahendamiseks ELi kahepoolsetes suhetes kõikide asjaomaste riikidega, eelkõige poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste ja mitteametlikumate kontaktide kaudu;

| iii) | kõikide kättesaadavate õigusaktide ja rahaliste vahendite (ÜVJP eelarve, stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahend ja muud vahendid) tõhus ja vastastikku täiendav kasutamine, et maksimeerida liidu tegevuse mõju ELi välispoliitiliste eesmärkide taotlemisel. |

iii)

kõikide kättesaadavate õigusaktide ja rahaliste vahendite (ÜVJP eelarve, stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahend ja muud vahendid) tõhus ja vastastikku täiendav kasutamine, et maksimeerida liidu tegevuse mõju ELi välispoliitiliste eesmärkide taotlemisel.

Seetõttu koordineeritakse tööd ka laiema julgeolekupoliitika ja konfliktide ennetamise alaste ELi tegevustega.

Euroopa välisteenistuse massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise peanõunik ja erisaadik esindas 2015. aasta esimesel poolaastal ELi mitmel olulisel rahvusvahelisel kohtumisel (eelkõige G7 massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise eest vastutavate direktorite rühma kohtumised jaanuaris Aachenis ja märtsis Hamburgis, tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2015. aasta läbivaatamiskonverents aprillis ja mais ning mitme kolmanda riigiga toimunud konsultatsioonid massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise küsimustes).

2015. aasta esimesel poolaastal keskendus erisaadik järgmisele:

| — | suuremate jõupingutuste tegemine tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu (NPT) täitmiseks, eelkõige seoses nimetatud lepingu 2015. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsiks tehtavate ettevalmistustega. See on ELi jaoks endiselt esmatähtis, võttes arvesse ka selle otsest asjakohasust massihävitusrelvade levikuga seotud suurte piirkondlike probleemide suhtes Iraanis ja Korea Rahvademokraatlikus Vabariigis (KRDV). EL jätkas Lähis-Idas massihävitusrelvadest vaba tsooni loomise protsessi toetamist. Erisaadik on Helsingi konverentsi korraldamiseks olnud regulaarselt kontaktis Soome vahendaja, saadik Laajavaga; |

1.   TUUMAKÜSIMUSED

ELi Nõukogu massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise töörühm (CONOP) valmistas tihedas koostöös asjaomaste ELi delegatsioonidega aktiivselt ette ELi seisukohti aprillis ja mais toimunud tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2015. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsiks, märtsis ja juunis toimunud IAEA juhatajate nõukogu kohtumisteks, märtsis toimunud raketitehnoloogia kontrollirežiimi (MTCR) tugevdatud kontaktpunktide kohtumiseks, mais toimunud Haagi tegevusjuhendi (HCoC) korraliseks aastakoosolekuks ning juunis toimunud ülemaailmse tuumaterrorismiga võitlemise algatuse (GICNT) ja tuumatarneriikide grupi (NSG) plenaaristungiteks. Asjaomased ELi delegatsioonid tegid koostööd ELi seisukohtade ettevalmistamisel muudeks rahvusvahelisteks kohtumisteks, näiteks CTBTO ettevalmistuskomisjoni ja selle abistavate organite koosolekud ja muud asjakohased nende pädevusvaldkonda kuuluvad kohtumised.

1.1.   NPT 2015. aasta läbivaatamiskonverents (27. aprill – 22. mai 2015 New Yorgis)

20. aprillil võeti vastu nõukogu järeldused, mis sisaldasid ELi seisukohti NPT osalisriikide üheksandaks läbivaatamiskonverentsiks (dok 8079/15). Nimetatud nõukogu järelduste alusel vormistati lõplikult ja esitati nimetatud konverentsil ELi üldine avaldus ja läbivaatamiskonverentsi kolmes peamises komitees võetavad EL avaldused. Kõrge esindaja/asepresident Federica Mogherini esitas ELi üldise avalduse konverentsi teisel päeval (28. aprill). Konverentsile esitati kolm ELi töödokumenti, mis käsitlesid: 1) CTBT-d, 2) kaitsemeetmeid ja 3) uut Euratomi ohutusdirektiivi. EL korraldas konverentsil kaks kõrvalüritust: üks ballistiliste rakettide leviku tõkestamist käsitleva Haagi tegevusjuhendi toetuseks (toimus 8. mail) ning teine tuumaohutus- ja -julgeolekupoliitika kohta (toimus 14. mail). Kuigi läbivaatamiskonverentsil ei suudetud vastu võtta konsensusel põhinevat lõppdokumenti, jääb kehtima tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsil vastu võetud tegevuskava ning EL toetab jätkuvalt selle terviklikku, tasakaalustatud ja sisulist täielikku rakendamist.

1.2.   Rahvusvaheline Aatomienergiaagentuur (IAEA)

EL on jätkanud Viinis asuvale Rahvusvahelisele Aatomienergiaagentuurile (IAEA) antava toetuse suurendamist. EL on endiselt üks tuumajulgeoleku fondi suurimaid rahastajaid, olles alates 2004. aastast eraldanud toetusena peaaegu 40 miljonit eurot (sealhulgas viimatine kohustus eraldada agentuurile 8,05 miljonit eurot, mis põhineb praegu rakendataval nõukogu 21. oktoobri 2013. aasta otsusel 2013/517/ÜVJP).

Tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas on EL panustanud oma tehnilise oskusteabega IAEA poolt korraldatud koolitustegevusse ja seminaridesse, mis on suunatud kolmandatele riikidele, et suurendada suutlikkust võidelda tuumamaterjalide ning muude radioaktiivsete materjalide salakaubaveo vastu. EL ja IAEA on jätkanud kõnealuses valdkonnas oma kolmandatele riikidele antava toetuse koordineerimist. Kolmas iga-aastane ELi-IAEA kõrgemate ametnike kohtumine, kus osalevad Euroopa välisteenistuse, Euroopa Komisjoni/Euratomi ja IAEA kõrgema tasandi esindajad, toimus 4.–5. veebruaril 2015 Luxembourgis Euroopa Komisjoni ruumides. Kõrgemate ametnike kohtumiste eesmärk on tõhustada koostööd kõikides IAEA tegevusvaldkondades, parandada ELi toetuse nähtavust ning täiendavalt koordineerida ELi tegevust, et tagada täiendavus ja vältida ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskuste ja IAEA tegevuste kattumist tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas (selleks rakendavad EL (Euroopa Komisjoni Teadusuuringute Ühiskeskuse kaudu) ja IAEA oma koostöö suunamise praktilise korra).

EL on alates 2008. aastast kohustunud nõukogu järelduste alusel eraldama kuni 25 miljonit eurot IAEA väherikastatud uraani panka. EL kandis stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahendist panga toetamiseks üle 20 miljonit eurot. ÜVJP eelarvest eraldatakse nõukogu otsuse alusel täiendavalt kuni 5 miljonit eurot. Nõukogupoolne heakskiitmine sõltub erinevate lepingute, sealhulgas IAEA ja Kasahstani vahelise võõrustajariigi toetuse lepingu viimistlemisel ja heakskiitmisel tehtud edusammudest.

Tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete küsimuses jätkab Euroopa Komisjoni tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete direktoraat kaitsemeetmete kohaldamist kogu tsiviilotstarbelisele tuumamaterjalile ELi 28 liikmesriigis ning sellise tegevuse aastaeelarve on ligikaudu 20 miljonit eurot. Kaitsemeetmete kontrollitegevust koordineeritakse tihedas koostöös IAEAga. IAEA ja komisjon tõhustavad jätkuvalt oma koostööd tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete alal, et optimeerida inimressursside ja rahaliste vahendite kasutamist, säilitades samas kaitsemeetmete maksimaalse tõhususe. Samuti on EL Euroopa Komisjoni koostööalase toetusprogrammi (Safeguards Support Programme) kaudu jätkuvalt andnud IAEA-le olulist tehnilist toetust tuumaenergiaalaste kaitsemeetmete valdkonnas.

EL on kohustunud toetama 10 miljoni euroga rahvusvahelist projekti, mille eesmärk on laiendada ja ajakohastada Seibersdorfi kaitsemeetmete laborit Austrias (9,5 miljonit eurot on juba makstud), ning IAEA on pöördunud rahvusvaheliste abiandjate, sealhulgas ELi poole palvega toetada ka Seibersdorfi tuumarajatiste labori ajakohastamist.

Ekspertide tasandil algatas Euroopa Komisjon koostöös IAEAga protsessi, mille eesmärk on hinnata IAEA salakaubaveo andmebaasi ja toetada selle täiustamist, et viia see paremini vastavusse kasutajate vajadustega. Koostatud on ühtlustatud aruandluse parimaid tavasid käsitlev dokument, mis esitatakse IAEA-le. Aruandlusvahendite ajakohastamise eesmärgil alustati 2013. aasta oktoobris intsidentidest teavitamise veebipõhise vormi väljatöötamist ning see viiakse peagi lõpule.

Uue tuumaohutusalase koostöö rahastamisvahendi (INSC 2014–2020) alusel on EL kohustunud toetama 3,5 miljoni euroga tuumaohutusalase koostöö projekte, mida rakendab agentuur. Selle otsese panuse kõrval teevad EL ja IAEA tihedat koostööd eelkõige Kesk-Aasias asuvate endiste tuumarajatiste küsimuses endiste tuumarajatiste koordineerimise rühma (CGULS) ja õigusalase koostöö foorumi (RCF) raames; see foorum koordineerib rahvusvahelist toetust alustavate riikide (Valgevene, Jordaania, Vietnam) reguleerivatele asutustele.

IAEA-le I–IV ühismeetme ja V nõukogu otsuse raames antud ELi rahalised vahendid aitasid edendada IAEA jõupingutusi tugevdada tuumajulgeolekut kolmandates riikides, pidades esmatähtsaks neid riike, kellel on suurimad vajadused radioaktiivse ja tuumamaterjali kontrolli tõhustamiseks, misläbi aidatakse vähendada riske. Jõupingutused keskendusid tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjaliga seotud riikliku õigusloome infrastruktuuri parandamisele, tuumajulgeolekumeetmetele seoses kasutatava tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjaliga, ladustamisele ja transpordile ning nendega seotud rajatistele, riikide võimekusele sellise tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjali käsitlemisel, mis ei ole siseriikliku regulatiivse kontrolli all, misläbi võimaldatakse abi saanud riikidel täita oma riigisiseseid ja rahvusvahelisi kohustusi. 21. oktoobril 2013 vastu võetud nõukogu viimatise otsusega (IAEA VI, 2013/517/ÜVJP) aidatakse kaasa tuumajulgeoleku täiendavale tõhustamisele kogu maailmas ja Euroopa julgeoleku tugevdamisele, toetades IAEA tegevust 2014.–2017. aasta tuumajulgeoleku kava raames ning eelkõige eelkirjeldatud valdkondades.

1.3.   Tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise leping (CTBT)

EL on aktiivselt edendanud tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu (CTBT) võimalikult kiiret jõustamist nõukogu 13. novembri 2012. aasta otsuse 2012/699/ÜVJP alusel, mis käsitleb Tuumarelvakatsetuste Üldise Keelustamise Lepingu Organisatsiooni (CTBTO) toetamist, ning viies läbi teavitusüritusi, mis on suunatud kõikidele riikidele, kes ei ole CTBT-le veel alla kirjutanud või seda ratifitseerinud, sealhulgas neile 2. lisas loetletud riikidele, kelle puhul ratifitseerimine on vajalik lepingu jõustumiseks. EL jätkab CTBT-alase teadlikkuse suurendamist eri kontekstides, sealhulgas poliitilise dialoogi koosolekutel, et kiirendada lepingu ratifitseerimist.

NPT 2015. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsi raames New Yorgis oli kõrgel esindajal/asepresidendil Federica Mogherinil kahepoolne kohtumine CTBTO ettevalmistava komisjoni tegevsekretäri Lassina Zerboga. Euroopa Liit esitas läbivaatamiskonverentsile ka töödokumendi CTBT kohta.

Massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise erisaadik osales CTBTO kõrgetasemelisel üritusel, mis korraldati aprillis Ramat-Ganis (Iisrael) koos seminariga teemal „2014. aasta integreeritud õppuse kohapealne inspekteerimine: teavitamine ja edasine tegevus”, ning jälgis vahetult IFE14 tulemusi ja nendega seotud järeldusi. Seoses sellega rõhutas ta oma sõnavõttudes, et EL toetab poliitiliselt ja rahaliselt CTBT ülemaailmset kohaldamist ja tõhusat rakendamist.

Korea Rahvademokraatliku Vabariigi (KRDV) poolt 12. veebruaril 2013 läbi viidud tuumakatsetus ja võimalike edasiste tuumakatsetuste toimepanemise oht näitasid selgelt, kui tähtis on tegelikkuses CTBTO kontrollisüsteem, mida praegu arendatakse ja mida EL nõukogu otsuste kaudu toetab. Mobiliseeritud on CTBTO meeskonnad, et anda kõigile tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu allkirjastanud riikidele infoliinide andmeid poliitikakujundajate teavitamiseks. Jõupingutused seismiliste abijaamade võrgu hoolduseks, mida toetatakse ühismeetmete/nõukogu otsuste I–V kaudu, ning jaamade võrgustikult saadavaid andmeid koguva, analüüsiva ja jagava CTBTO rahvusvahelise andmekeskuse rakendamine annavad panuse süsteemi vajalikku jätkusuutlikkusse. Peale selle on äärmiselt tähtis toetada CTBTO ajutist tehnilist sekretariaati selliste täiendavate õppuste läbiviimisel nagu Jordaanias korraldatud õppus, et testida ja parandada kohapealse inspekteerimise süsteemi operatiivvõimekust.

1.4.   Piirkondlikud küsimused (Iraan, KRDV)

EL on olnud täiel määral pühendunud käimasolevatele jõupingutustele, mille eesmärk on saavutada läbirääkimiste kaudu diplomaatiline lahendus Iraani tuumaprobleemile, tuginedes tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingule ning kõikide asjakohaste ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu ja IAEA juhatajate nõukogu resolutsioonide täieulatuslikule rakendamisele. 2013. aasta novembris Genfis E3/EL+3 ja Iraani vahel kokku lepitud ning kuni 30. juunini 2015 pikendatud ühiseks tegevuskavaks (JPoA) nimetatava ajutise kokkuleppe sujuv rakendamine lõi vajalikud tingimused praeguseks diplomaatiliseks protsessiks. Alates ühise tegevuskava rakendamise algusest alustas EL E3+3 (Hiina, Prantsusmaa, Saksamaa, Venemaa, Ühendkuningriik ja USA) tuumakõneluste vahendajana läbirääkimisi Iraaniga, et saavutada pikaajaline ulatuslik lahendus Iraani tuumaküsimusele, nagu on kavandatud ühises tegevuskavas. Kohtumisel Lausanne’is 2. aprillil 2015 saavutasid ELi kõrge esindaja ning E3+3 ja Iraani välisministrid poliitilise kokkuleppe Iraani tuumaküsimust käsitleva laiaulatusliku kokkuleppe põhiparameetrite osas. Pärast seda on toimunud töö poliitiliste direktorite ja ekspertide tasandil, et teisendada Lausanne’i arusaam kirjalikuks kokkuleppeks juuni lõpuks, kui ajutise kokkuleppe kehtivus lõppeb. Paralleelselt E3/EU+3 tegevussuunaga on IAEA ja Iraani koostööraamistiku eesmärk lahendada kõik praegused ja varasemad lahendamata küsimused, sealhulgas võimaliku sõjalise mõõtmega seotud küsimused. IAEA ja Iraani koostööraamistiku kohaselt on toimunud mitu tehnilist koosolekut. Iraan ei ole aga ikka veel rakendanud kahte lahendamata praktilist meedet ega pakkunud koostööraamistiku kolmandas etapis välja ühtegi uut praktilist meedet, ehkki IAEA on seda korduvalt nõudnud.

EL on endiselt mures, et Iraan arendab ja testib ballistilisi rakette ja kanderakette, rikkudes nii ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioone 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 ja 1929. EL on sellise tegevuse korduvalt hukka mõistnud, kuna sellega kaasneb tuumalõhkeseadme relvaks muutmise oht. Seoses KRDVga on EL jätkuvalt väga mures KRDV tuuma- ja ballistiliste rakettide programmide jätkuva arendamise pärast ning režiimi poolt kehtestatud poliitilise prioriteedi pärast parandada oma tuumavõimeid. EL on jätkuvalt tungivalt nõudnud, et KRDV täidaks oma kohustusi vastavalt ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu asjakohastele resolutsioonidele, sealhulgas lõpetaks täielikult, kontrollitavalt ja tagasipöördumatult kõik oma käimasolevad tuuma-, muude massihävitusrelvade ning ballistiliste rakettide programmid. EL on jätkuvalt nõudnud, et KRDV hakkaks taas täiel määral täitma tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingut ja IAEA kaitsemeetmetest tulenevaid kohustusi ning tagaks IAEA-le nõuetekohase juurdepääsu isikutele, dokumentidele, seadmetele ja rajatistele. EL on pidevalt toetanud kuuepoolsete kõneluste protsessi jätkamist ja on kutsunud KRDVd üles pöörduma tagasi usaldusväärsete ja tõeliste rahvusvaheliste läbirääkimiste juurde. Lisaks ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonide rakendamisele on EL võtnud kasutusele täiendavad ühepoolsed piiravad meetmed, sealhulgas tugevdatud kontrolli kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade ja tavarelvastuse leviku suhtes. EL kordas oma nõudmist, et KRDV ratifitseeriks tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu ning hoiduks igasugusest edasisest provokatiivsest tegevusest. KRDV rikub jätkuvalt ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioone 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 ja 2094 ning EL on selle kõige karmimalt hukka mõistnud.

2.   DESARMEERIMISKONVERENTS/TUUMARELVADE VÕI MUUDE TUUMALÕHKESEADMETE JAOKS LÕHUSTUVATE MATERJALIDE TOOTMISE KEELUSTAMISE LEPING

EL on jätkuvalt pühendunud NPT-l põhinevale tuumadesarmeerimisele ja relvastuskontrollile ning rõhutab vajadust teha uusi mitmepoolseid jõupingutusi ja taaselustada mitmepoolsed läbirääkimisorganid, eelkõige desarmeerimiskonverents (CD), kaaludes sellega seoses võimalusi selle tulevaseks laienemiseks. Jätkuvalt on mureküsimuseks desarmeerimiskonverentsi patiseis, sealhulgas selle võimetus kiita heaks oma tööprogramm.

EL kordab oma üleskutset alustada desarmeerimiskonverentsil dokumendi CD/1299 ja selles sisalduvate volituste alusel viivitamata läbirääkimisi tuumarelvade või muude tuumalõhkeseadmete jaoks lõhustuvate materjalide tootmise keelustamise lepingu üle ning viia need kiiresti lõpule, mis on jätkuvalt selge prioriteet. EL kutsub üles kõiki riike, kes seda veel teinud ei ole, kuulutama viivitamatult välja ja säilitama moratooriumi tuumarelvade või muude tuumalõhkeseadmete jaoks lõhustuvate materjalide tootmisele ning demonteerima tuumarelvade jaoks lõhustuvate materjalide tootmise rajatised või ehitama need ümber üksnes lõhkeainetega mitte seotud kasutuseks. EL tervitab nende viie tuumariigi, eelkõige kahe ELi liikmesriigi tegevust, kes on sellised moratooriumid välja kuulutanud ja sellised rajatised demonteerinud või neid kohandanud.

EL tervitab ka valitsusekspertide töörühma 2014. ja 2015. aastal toimunud koosolekutel peetud konstruktiivseid arutelusid ja nende edukat lõpuleviimist ning väljendas veendumust, et nende koosolekute aruanne on alus tulevasteks läbirääkimisteks.

3.   KEEMIARELVAD

17. veebruaril võeti vastu ELi Nõukogu otsus (ÜVJP) 2015/259 aastate 2015–2017 kohta, millega tehakse OPCW-le kättesaadavaks umbes 2,5 miljonit eurot, et toetada selliseid meetmeid nagu ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamine, riigisisene rakendamine, rahvusvaheline koostöö, Aafrika programm ja Süüria operatsiooni kogemuste rakendamine. Nimetatud nõukogu otsus on ELi kuues vabatahtlik panus OPCW tegevuse toetamiseks alates 2005. aastast kui märk pidevast toetusest sellele organisatsioonile ja selle organisatsiooni tehtud töö tähtsuse tunnustamisest.

EL on jätkanud Keemiarelvade Keelustamise Organisatsiooni (OPCW) toetamist Süüria keemiarelvade programmi likvideerimiseks. EL tegi seda, pikendades kehtivust otsusel, millega anti stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahendist 12 miljonit eurot OPCW sihtfondile. OPCW taotlusel uurib EL võimalust toetada täiendavalt Süüria keemiarelvade allesjäänud tootmisrajatiste hävitamist ja sellega seotud meetmeid.

Nõukogu 11. veebruari 2014. aasta otsusega 2014/74/ÜVJP ja nõukogu 10. veebruari 2014. aasta määrusega (EL) nr 124/2014 kehtestati erand seoses Süüria külmutatud vara võimaliku kasutamisega, et katta Süürias läbiviidatavate OPCW kontrolli ja hävitamise alaste tegevustega seotud kulud. EL saatis 2014. aasta novembris OPCW peadirektorile kirja, teavitades teda nimetatud võimalusest ja paludes tal esitada Süüria ametivõimudele vastavasisuline demarš. Ettepanek on edastatud Süüria ametivõimudele, kes on siiani selle tagasi lükanud. Kuid EL jätkab selle ettepaneku juurde tagasipöördumist igal sobival võimalusel ja OPCW juures tehtud ELi avaldustes.

Pärast keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni kolmandat läbivaatamiskonverentsi (2013. aasta aprill) keskendus EL jätkuvalt oma prioriteetidele, milleks on eelkõige: i) olemasolevate varude hävitamise lõpuleviimine; ii) keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni (CWC) ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamine (14. oktoobril 2013 sai Süüriast konventsiooni 190. osalisriik); iii) riiklik kohaldamine kooskõlas artikliga VII; iv) suutlikkuse suurendamise edendamine seoses ohutuse ja julgeolekuga arengumaade keemiatööstuses kooskõlas artikliga XI ning reageerimine keemiarelvade kasutamisele, tuginedes artiklile X.

Hoolimata vajadusest viia veel lõpule mõned algsed CWC kesksed eesmärgid, on EL ja tema liikmesriigid alustanud arutelu, et analüüsida keemiarelvade hävitamise järgset etappi, ning nad hakkavad järk-järgult uurima konventsiooni edaspidise asjakohasuse probleeme (st keemiarelvade uuesti kasutusele võtmise keelamine, kasutamine valitsusväliste osalejate ja terroristide poolt, lähendamine bioloogilistele relvadele) ja seega selle tulemuslikkust. Sellega seoses analüüsib EL hoolikalt hiljuti avaldatud OPCW märkust pealkirjaga „OPCW 2025. aastal: tagada keemiarelvavaba maailm”, 6. märtsi 2015. aasta dokument S/1252/2015, eesmärgiga anda panus OPCW pädevate organite asjaomasesse arutellu.

ELi toetuse mõju osas kasutasid kõik väljavalitud toetatavad riigid toetust kriitilise tähtsusega tehniliste lünkade täitmiseks, mis võimaldas nendel osalisriikidel saavutada olulist edu keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni riigisisesel rakendamisel. Konkreetselt võib märkida, et ELi Nõukogu otsused on endiselt ainuvõimalik viis sedalaadi toetuse andmiseks, et kõrvaldada konventsiooni rakendamise puudujääke. OPCW tehnilise sekretariaadi poolt viimastel aastatel läbi viidud 90 riiklikust rakendamise allprojektist oleksid ligikaudu pooled jäänud teostamata ilma ühismeetmete/nõukogu otsuste alusel antavate rahaliste vahenditeta. Mis puudutab ELi prioriteeti konventsiooni ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamise alal, siis alates esimese ühismeetme vastuvõtmisest on konventsiooniga ühinenud 19 riiki ning 4 riiki, kes ühinesid konventsiooniga 2005. aastal, olid kaasatud ühismeetme/nõukogu otsusega rahastatud teavitustegevusse; järgmistel aastatel ühinenud riikidest olid sellesse tegevusse kaasatud kõik.

4.   BIOLOOGILISED RELVAD

BTWC kaheksanda läbivaatamiskonverentsi (Genf, 2016. aasta november/detsember) eel on EL teinud tööd, et alustada läbirääkimisi BTWC toetamist käsitleva uue nõukogu otsuse ja järgmiseks läbivaatamiskonverentsiks võetava ELi ühise seisukoha üle ja võtta need võimaluse korral tulevikus vastu.

EL osaleb ka bioohutuse ja bioloogilise julgeoleku suurendamise toetamises. Sellega seoses nähakse nõukogu 18. novembri 2013. aasta otsusega 2013/668/ÜVJP ette enam kui 1,7 miljoni euro eraldamine, et toetada Maailma Terviseorganisatsiooni tehniliste eksperditeadmiste kaudu projekte, mille eesmärk on edendada teatavates valitud osalisriikides bioloogilise ohu alast teadlikkust, laborite bioloogilise ohu haldamist ja laborite osas siseriiklike strateegiate väljatöötamist.

5.   BALLISTILISED RAKETID

5.1.   Haagi tegevusjuhend

EL on seisukohal, et ballistiliste rakettide leviku tõkestamist käsitlev Haagi tegevusjuhend on unikaalne mitmepoolne vahend, mille eesmärk on takistada ballistiliste rakettide süsteemide ja nendega seotud tehnoloogiate levikut läbipaistvuse ja usaldust suurendavate meetmete abil, ning on seda igati toetanud selle vastuvõtmisest alates. Tegevusjuhendile on alla kirjutanud kõik ELi liikmesriigid. EL on jätkuvalt järginud ja toetanud tegevusjuhendi kolme aspekti: ülemaailmset kohaldamist, rakendamist ning tegevusjuhendi toimimise tõhustamist ja parandamist.

Haagi tegevusjuhendi toetamist käsitleva 15. detsembril 2014 vastu võetud uue nõukogu otsuse (2014/913/ÜVJP) rakendamine algas 2015. aasta kevadel. Nimetatud nõukogu otsuse alusel korraldati 2015. aasta mais tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu läbivaatamiskonverentsi raames kõrvalüritus. ELi esindas Viinis asuva ELi delegatsiooni juht. Tehti selgeid viiteid ELi rahastamisele, mida mainisid peaaegu kõik kõnelejad. Seda üritust kanti veebis otse üle.

ELi liikmesriigid teevad tööd nõukogu 15. detsembri 2014. aasta Haagi tegevusjuhendi ja ballistiliste rakettide leviku tõkestamise toetamist käsitleva otsuse 2014/913/ÜVJP rakendamiseks.

5.2.   Raketitehnoloogia kontrollirežiim (MTCR)

MTCRi alane 2014. aasta üldkoosolek toimus 1.–3. oktoobril Oslos, kus esitati ELi avaldus. 2015. aasta märtsis korraldati MTCRi tugevdatud kontaktpunktide kohtumine, kus Euroopa välisteenistus esitas ulatusliku avalduse.

ELi üheksa riigi hulgas uuendasid neli ELi riiki oma taotlust saada MTCRi liikmeks: Rumeenia, Eesti, Sloveenia ja Horvaatia.

2014. aasta täiskogu istungil Oslos teatasid Luksemburg ja Madalmaad, et nad võtaksid endale MTCRi ühisjuhtimise rolli 2015.–2016. aastal.

6.   KBRT-OHTUDE VÄHENDAMINE

EL on jätkanud edasiminekut 2009. aastal vastu võetud ELi keemilist, bioloogilist, radioloogilist ja tuumaohtu (KBRT) käsitleva tegevuskava rakendamise osas ning kuritegevuse ennetamise ja selle vastu võitlemise programmiga on seni toetatud umbes 30 projekti rakendamist.

Lisaks osutatakse KBRT tegevuskavale teaduslikku ja tehnilist toetust mitme KBRT-alase teadusprojektiga, mida rahastatakse seitsmenda raamprogrammi kaudu turvalise ühiskonna programmist ning millega arendatakse uuringuid, mis hõlmavad kogu kriisiohjetsüklit (ennetusest taastamiseni). Samuti jätkub tegevus antud valdkonna standardiseerimisvajaduste kindlakstegemiseks, mis võib viia nn Euroopa normide (EN) standardite väljatöötamiseni. Programmiga „Horisont 2020” (2014–2020) tugevdatakse KBRT-alaste teadusuuringute valdkonna käimasolevaid jõupingutusi kesksete teemade abil, mille tööprogramm võeti vastu 10. detsembril 2013.

Tegevuskava rakendamise 2012. aasta eduaruandes toodi esile peamised saavutused, milleks olid eelkõige teabe- ja parimate tavade vahetamise parandamine, ühiste koolitusürituste korraldamine ning kõrge riskiastmega ainete kolme ELi nimekirja (keemilised ained, bioloogilised ained ning radioloogilised-tuumaained) heakskiitmine.

Selleks, et 2015. aastaks rakendada praegune tegevuskava ning määratleda uus KBRT-L tegevuskava, teeb komisjon liikmesriikide ametiasutuste ja teiste asjaomaste sidusrühmadega tihedat koostööd KBRT-L nõuanderühmas ja selle allrühmades, mille koosolekud toimuvad korrapäraselt.

Euroopa Komisjon võttis 2014. aasta mais vastu teatise KBRTL-riskide tuvastamist ja maandamist käsitleva uue ELi lähenemisviisi kohta (dok COM(2014) 247 final). Selles teatises teeb komisjon ettepaneku soodustada praktilist koostööd KBRTL-riskide tuvastamiseks ja maandamiseks ELi tasandil, muu hulgas tehes koostööd tööstusega, KBRTL-materjale töötlevate asutuste käitajatega (seadmete tootjad ja turvateenuste osutajad) ja muude sidusrühmadega. See dokument sisaldab 30 lähitulevikus erinevate komisjoni talituste poolt koostöös liikmesriikidega rakendatavat meedet. Töötatakse välja konkreetsed vahendid, mille hulka kuuluvad juhendmaterjalid, koolitus ja teadlikkuse suurendamine ning katsetustegevus.

Komisjon kogub praegu liikmesriikide ning asjaomaste Euroopa institutsioonide ja talituste panuseid, et esitada aasta lõpuks lõplik eduaruanne 2009. aasta tegevuskava rakendamise kohta. Samal ajal esitab komisjon ideid edasiseks tööks KBRT-L-i valdkonnas.

EL käivitas 2010. aasta mais stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahendi kaudu rahastatava ELi KBRT-alaste ohu vähendamise tippkeskuste algatuse. Nimetatud tippkeskuste rajamise põhjuseks on mitmete riikide ebapiisav institutsiooniline suutlikkus leevendada selliseid KBRT-ohte nagu kuritegevus (KBRT-materjalide levik, terrorism), looduskatastroofid ja õnnetused (tööstusega seotud õnnetused). Keskuste eesmärk on töötada välja riikide ja piirkondade tasandil kõiki ohte hõlmav KBRT-poliitika selliste ohtude ettenägemiseks ja neile reageerimiseks. Lühidalt väljendudes on tegemist struktuuriliste meetmetega, millega vähendatakse piirkondade ja ELi julgeoleku ühistest huvidest lähtuvalt riikide haavatavust KBRT-ohtude ees.

Selle eesmärgi saavutamiseks tuleb toetada piirkondlike eksperdivõrgustike loomist õigus-, regulatiiv-, tehnilistes ning kontrolli- ja jõustamisküsimustes, mis on seotud KBRT-ohtude vähendamisega, järgides alt üles ja piirideülest lähenemisviisi, et määrata kindlaks piirkondlikud prioriteedid, mida ei ole võimalik käsitleda ainult riigisisesel tasandil.

7.   EKSPERDIRÜHMAD

Lähtudes nõukogu 26. juuli 2010. aasta otsusest 2010/430/ÜVJP, on ELi tööd massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia raames aktiivselt toetanud massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ELi konsortsium, mis alustas tegevust 2011. aasta jaanuaris. 10. märtsil 2014 vastu võetud uue otsusega pikendati konsortsiumi tegevust veel kolme aasta võrra, mille jooksul tuginetakse ajavahemikul 2011–2013 saavutatud tulemustele ja saadud kogemustele ning lisatakse uusi ja innovatiivseid projekte.

Konsortsiumi tegevus suurendas ELi nähtavust kolmandates riikides ja kodanikuühiskonnas ning andis märkimisväärse panuse ELi poliitikakujundamisse massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase tegevuse ja desarmeerimise valdkondades. Konsortsium loob platvormi praktikute mitteametlikeks kontaktideks ja aitab edendada dialoogi erinevate sidusrühmade vahel. Konsortsiumi võrgustikku kuulub üle 65 mõttekoja üle kogu Euroopa. Tegevus on aidanud suurendada teadlikkust tuuma-, keemia- ja bioloogiliste relvadega seonduvatest probleemidest.

8.   ÜRO JULGEOLEKUNÕUKOGU RESOLUTSIOON 1540 JA EKSPORDIKONTROLL

a)   ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioon 1540

Nõukogu poolt 22. juulil 2013 vastu võetud nõukogu otsust rakendab UNODA, mis korraldab kogu maailmas piirkondlikke seminare ja riiklikke abialaseid visiite. Kõnealuse nõukogu otsuse rakendamine aitab suurendada asjaomaseid riiklikke ja piirkondlikke jõupingutusi, toetab ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamise seisu täieliku läbivaatamise käigus 2009. aastal esitatud soovituste praktilist rakendamist ning algatab ja arendab riikide taotlusel riiklikke tegevuskavasid.

UNODA on sõlminud lepingu OSCEga, mis tagab koostoime ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 toetamiseks. Ka ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskustega püütakse saavutada koostoimet ja kooskõlastamist ning vältida tegevuse kattumist. ELi vahendite abil on juba korraldatud rohkem kui 15 üritust, millest viimane toimus 2015. aasta juunis Jordaanias.

b)   Ekspordikontroll

Pärast ELi ekspordikontrolli korra läbivaatamist käsitleva komisjoni teatise (milles määratleti ekspordikontrolli moderniseerimiseks ning kiiresti muutuvate tehnoloogiliste, majanduslike ja poliitiliste oludega kohandamiseks konkreetsed poliitikavalikud) vastuvõtmist 24. aprillil 2014 pidas Euroopa Parlament 2015. aasta jaanuaris avaliku mõttevahetuse. Omalt poolt viis komisjon läbi teatises visandatud läbivaatamise võimaluste nn mõjuhinnangu, et teha kindlaks nende elluviimiseks kõige sobivamad reguleerivad ja mittereguleerivad meetmed, ja sõlmis 2014. aasta detsembris Stockholmi Rahvusvahelise Rahu-uuringute Instituudiga lepingu, et koguda mõjuhinnangu toetamiseks andmeid ja luua eeldused läbivaadatud ekspordikontrolli eeskirjade ettevalmistamiseks.

Regulatiivsest küljest jõustus 2014. aasta detsembris komisjonile määrusega (EL) nr 599/2014 antud asjakohase õiguse kohaselt komisjoni delegeeritud määrus (EL) nr 1382/2014, millega ajakohastatakse ELi kontrollinimekirja, et võtta arvesse mitmepoolse ekspordikontrolli korra kohta aastatel 2011–2013 võetud otsuseid. 2015. aasta märtsis alustas komisjon liikmesriikide ekspertidega konsulteerides ettevalmistusi uueks delegeeritud määruseks, millega ajakohastatakse ELi kontrollinimekirja, et võtta arvesse 2014. aasta korra alusel võetud otsuseid.

Ekspordikontrolli rakendamist toetati 2015. aasta esimesel poolaastal korraldatud kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade koordineerimisrühma kolme koosolekuga, millel keskenduti eelkõige kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade elektroonilise süsteemi uute funktsioonide loomisele ja tehnilise teabe vahetamisele erinevate kontrolliküsimuste kohta.

Toimus ELi koordineerimiskohtumine, et tutvustada ELi kokkulepitud seisukohti asjakohastel ekspordikontrolli süsteemide teemalistel kohtumistel 2015. aasta esimesel poolaastal (tuumatarneriikide grupp: konsultatiivgrupi koosolekud aprillis Viinis ja juunis Bariloches (Argentina) ning plenaaristung juunis Bariloches (Argentina); raketitehnoloogia kontrollirežiim: tugevdatud kontaktpunktide kohtumine 2015. aasta märtsis Pariisis; Austraalia grupp: plenaarkohtumine juunis Perthis (Austraalia)).

Jätkus EL ekspordikontrolli teavitustegevuse programm, millega suurendatakse kolmandates riikides (23 riiki) haldus- ja tehnilist suutlikkust kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade käsitlemisel. Teavitustegevuse programmiga rakendati uusi meetmeid Marokos, Tuneesias, Jordaanias, Pakistanis ja Serbias. Erilist tähelepanu pöörati tihedamale koostööle USA riigidepartemangu ekspordikontrolli ja sellega seotud piirijulgeoleku (EXBS) programmiga, et suurendada kahe programmi vahelisi sünergiaid. Kiievis ja Kosices korraldati eriseminarid eesmärgiga edendada strateegilise kaubanduskontrolli valdkonnas piiriülest piirkondadevahelist koostööd Ukraina, Gruusia ja Moldova Vabariigiga ning ELi idapoolsete liikmesriikidega. ELi teavitusportaal (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) loodi kui ühtne teabeplatvorm kõikide ELi teavitamisprogrammide jaoks (kahesuguse kasutusega kaubad, ARMS ja relvakaubandusleping) eesmärgiga kohandada teabevahetust ELi partnerriikidega. Partnerriikidega toimus 2015. aasta jaanuaris ekspordikontrolliga seotud uusi ja muutuvaid väljakutseid käsitlev spetsiaalne konverents. Viidi lõpule uuring ekspordikontrolliga seotud probleemidest Aafrikas. Seda programmi rahastatakse stabiilsuse ja rahu edendamise rahastamisvahendi alusel.

9.   KOSMOS

EL on alates 2007. aastast edendanud avakosmosetegevuse rahvusvahelise tegevusjuhendi väljatöötamist. See rahvusvaheline ja vabatahtlik suuniste ja usaldust suurendavate meetmete kogu suurendaks kogu kosmosetegevuse ohutust, julgeolekut ja prognoositavust. Sellised suunised peaksid muu hulgas piirama kahjustavat sekkumist, kosmoses toimuvaid kokkupõrkeid või õnnetusi ning kosmosejäätmete tekkimist või need miinimumini viima. Suunistega kehtestatakse peamised eeskirjad, mida peaksid järgima kõik kosmoseriigid nii tsiviil- kui ka sõjalise kosmosetegevuse puhul.

EL pidas tegevusjuhendi kavandi üle mitmepoolseid avatud konsultatsioone Kiievis (mai 2013), Bangkokis (november 2013) ja Luxembourgis (mai 2014). Kokku osales konsultatsiooniprotsessis 95 ÜRO liikmesriiki (61 riiki olid kohal igas konsultatsioonivoorus). Avatud konsultatsioonide protsessil, mis viidi lõpule Luxembourgis toimunud kohtumisega, oli oluline roll osalevate riikide seisukohtadest ja muredest arusaamise parandamisel. Kohtumise lõpus nentis eesistuja, et algatuse vastu tuntakse laialdast rahvusvahelist huvi. Mitu riiki avaldas soovi viia protsess edasi läbirääkimiste etappi, kus konsultatsiooniprotsessi käigus välja töötatud tegevusjuhendi kavandi võiks võtta tulevaste mitmepoolsete läbirääkimiste aluseks.

Sarnase mõtteviisiga riikidega koordineerides ja ÜRO desarmeerimisküsimuste büroo abiga on EL kavandanud 27.–31. juulini 2015 New Yorgis toimuvad mitmepoolsed läbirääkimised oma rahvusvahelise avakosmosetegevuse tegevusjuhendi kavandi ettepaneku üle. Sellele kohtumisele on kutsutud kõik ÜRO liikmesriigid.

10.   MASSIHÄVITUSRELVADE LEVIKU TÕKESTAMISE KLAUSLID

ELi massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase strateegia kohaselt jätkas EL massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuse edendamist oma lepingulistes suhetes kolmandate riikidega. ELi ja kolmandate riikide vahelistes asjakohastes lepingutes massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise klauslite lisamise üle peeti täiendavaid läbirääkimisi, eelkõige Malaisiaga. Läbirääkimiste tulemusel suureneb teadlikkus massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise alasest ELi poliitikast ning selle tulemusel luuakse foorum, et vastastikku mõista asjakohaseid seisukohti, määratleda võimalikud tulevased koostöövaldkonnad ja innustada partnerriike tegema konkreetseid edusamme seoses massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korraga.

11.   MUUD MITMEPOOLSED FOORUMID

G7

EL jätkas aktiivset tegevust massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise eest vastutavate direktorite kohtumistel (Aachen, 28.–29. jaanuar, ja Hamburg, 4.–5. märts), mille tulemuseks olid edukad läbirääkimised massihävitusrelvade leviku vastast võitlust ja desarmeerimist käsitleva avalduse üle; nimetatud avaldus on lisatud välisministrite 15. aprilli Lübecki avaldusele.

Ülemaailmne partnerlus on alates selle loomisest 2002. aastal laienenud ning sellest on saanud koordineerimise ja koostöö platvorm, millega on liitunud veel 20 partnerit. Deauville’i tippkohtumisel 2011. aasta mais leppisid G8 juhid kokku, et tuleb veelgi tugevdada bioloogilist julgeolekut, ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamist ning radioloogilist ja tuumajulgeolekut ning suurendada teadlaste kaasamist. USA 2012. aastal, Ühendkuningriik 2013. aastal ja Venemaa kuni tema G8 liikmesuse peatamiseni 2014. aastal arendasid seda tegevuskava edasi, eelkõige tugevdades viit olemasolevat alltöörühma, mis käsitlevad bioloogilist julgeolekut, keemilist julgeolekut ning radioloogilist ja tuumajulgeolekut, tippkeskusi ning ülemaailmse partnerluse töörühma raames toimuvat teavitustegevust ja laienemist. ELi tippkeskused tegutsevad jätkuvalt silmapaistvalt ülemaailmse partnerluse tippkeskuste alltöörühmades, eelkõige selleks, et soodustada piirkondlikku teabevahetust ja võimaluse korral vältida rahastajate tegevuse dubleerimist. EL jagas Saksamaaga prioriteete, mis Saksamaa on esitanud oma eesistumisajaks aastatel 2014–2015, eelkõige tegevuskavas esikohal olevaid bioteaduste alaseid prioriteete. Eesmärk on materjale paremini tagada ja nende kohta aru anda, tõhustada haiguste jälgimist ja hädaolukordadele reageerimist (nt Ebola ja muud pandeemiad), tugevdada riiklikke ja ülemaailmseid võrgustikke ning kindlustada turvaline ja vastutustundlik tegevus bioteaduste valdkonnas. See on kooskõlas olulise rolliga, mida EL bioteaduste valdkonnas juba etendab bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni (BTWC) ja WTO nõukogu otsuste kaudu, samuti ELi kolme (peatselt nelja) mobiilse labori abil, mida Lääne-Aafrikas kasutatakse juba alates 2014. aasta maist.

Rahvusvaheline teadus- ja tehnoloogiakeskus

EL aitas aktiivselt kaasa läbirääkimistele rahvusvahelist teadus- ja tehnoloogiakeskust (ISTC) käsitleva ajakohastatud kokkuleppe üle. ISTC eesmärk on kaasata kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade valdkonnas teadmisi omavad teadlased ja insenerid rahumeelsesse teadustegevusse või ettevõtlusprogrammidesse ELi ja teiste partneritega. Keskus püüab jätkata kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade valdkonnas omatavate teadmiste kasutamist, suunates ja paigutades asjaomaseid teadlasi ümber, ning seetõttu võiks keskusel olla roll massihävitusrelvade levikuga seotud kriisidele pikaajaliste lahenduste pakkumisel. Läbirääkimiste käigus rõhutas EL vajadust kokkuleppe järele, mis võimaldaks ISTC-l rakendada projekte, mis saaksid tõhusalt aidata lahendada probleeme massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise osas muret tekitavates valdkondades, muu hulgas Lähis-Idas. 2014. aasta juunis avati Astanas ametlikult uus ISTC harukontor.

12.   POLIITILISE DIALOOGI KOHTUMISED

Erisaadik pidas Brasiilia, Egiptuse, Jaapani, USA ja Iisraeliga massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise alaseid poliitilise dialoogi kohtumisi. Ta pidas samuti mitu muud kahepoolset konsultatsiooni erinevate osalejatega, muu hulgas selliste oluliste sündmuste raames nagu NPT läbivaatamise 2015. aasta konverents New Yorgis (ÜRO desarmeerimise valdkonna kõrge esindaja, UNIDIRi direktor, USA, Korea Vabariik, Iisrael, Egiptus jne).

Implementation of Projects CBRN — 3rd call: #77 #111 #114

The overall objective is the enhancement of the RN security situation in the countries of concern (with a spin-off towards chemical detection under P77). Such concern needs to be addressed in a systematic manner and with interventions at quite a few different levels. Also the ‘action radius’ of the interventions needs to be described (to assure the proper engagement of the key actors).

Network of universities and institutes for raising awareness on dual-use concerns of chemical materials

The European Commission is seeking external support to implement technical aspects related to the EU CBRN Risk Mitigation CoE. The overall objective of the project is to reinforce inter-interagency coordination to respond to CBRN incidents. This includes defining standard operational procedures in response to such incidents, e.g. post-incident management and site restoration.
