POLROČNÁ SPRÁVA O POKROKU VO VYKONÁVANÍ STRATÉGIE EÚ PROTI ŠÍRENIU ZBRANÍ HROMADNÉHO NIČENIA (2015/I)

(2015/C 296/01)

ÚVOD

Podľa stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia, ktorú prijala Európska rada v decembri 2003 (dokument 15708/03), sa každých šesť mesiacov predkladá správa o pokroku v jej vykonávaní. Táto správa o pokroku sa týka činností, ktoré sa uskutočnili počas prvého polroka 2015.

Usmerňujúcimi zásadami EÚ v tejto oblasti sú v súlade s cieľmi Európskej bezpečnostnej stratégie, stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia a „nových smerov činnosti“ (17172/08) naďalej:

| i) | účinný multilateralizmus vrátane presadzovania všeobecného uplatňovania medzinárodných zmlúv, dohovorov a iných nástrojov a ich vykonávania na vnútroštátnej úrovni, a to prostredníctvom diplomatickej činnosti a finančnej pomoci tretím krajinám a medzinárodným organizáciám; |

| ii) | úzka spolupráca s partnermi a ďalšími tretími krajinami v snahe dospieť ku globálnemu zblíženiu názorov na potrebu posilnenia medzinárodného systému nešírenia zbraní. EÚ pokračovala v riešení otázok nešírenia zbraní v rámci svojich bilaterálnych vzťahov so všetkými relevantnými krajinami, a to najmä prostredníctvom politického dialógu a neformálnejších kontaktov; |

iii)

účinné a komplementárne využívanie všetkých dostupných nástrojov a finančných zdrojov – rozpočet SZBP, nástroj na podporu stability a mieru (IcSP) a iné nástroje – s cieľom maximalizovať vplyv svojich činností pri sledovaní cieľov zahraničnej politiky EÚ.

Práca sa preto úzko koordinuje aj v rámci širšej bezpečnostnej politiky a činností EÚ v oblasti predchádzania konfliktom.

Hlavný poradca ESVČ a osobitný vyslanec pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie zastupoval EÚ v prvom polroku 2015 na viacerých kľúčových medzinárodných stretnutiach [predovšetkým na zasadnutí skupiny riaditeľov G7 pre oblasť nešírenia v januári v Aachene a v marci Hamburgu, na hodnotiacej konferencii Zmluvy o nešírení jadrových zbraní (NPT), ktorá sa konala v apríli a máji 2015, a v rámci konzultácií o nešírení a odzbrojení s niekoľkými tretími krajinami].

Počas prvého polroka 2015 sa osobitný vyslanec sústredil na:

| — | zintenzívnenie úsilia o podporu Zmluvy o nešírení jadrových zbraní (NPT) najmä v súvislosti s prípravami hodnotiacej konferencie NPT v roku 2015. Pre EÚ to zostáva najvyššou prioritou aj vzhľadom na to, že to priamo súvisí s významnými regionálnymi výzvami v oblasti šírenia v Iráne a KĽDR. EÚ naďalej podporovala proces vytvorenia zóny bez ZHN na Blízkom východe. Osobitný vyslanec bol v rámci príprav helsinskej konferencie v pravidelnom kontakte s fínskym sprostredkovateľom, veľvyslancom Laajavaom, |

1.   JADROVÉ OTÁZKY

Pracovná skupina Rady EÚ pre nešírenie (CONOP) v úzkej spolupráci s príslušnými delegáciami EÚ aktívne prispievala k prípravám pozícií EÚ na hodnotiacu konferenciu NPT v apríli a máji 2015, zasadnutia Rady guvernérov MAAE v marci a v júni, zasadnutie posilneného kontaktného bodu Režimu kontroly raketových technológií (MTCR) v marci, pravidelné výročné zasadnutie Haagskeho kódexu správania proti šíreniu balistických rakiet (HCoC) v máji, plenárne zasadnutie Globálnej iniciatívy na boj proti jadrovému terorizmu (GICNT) a plenárne zasadnutia Skupiny jadrových dodávateľov (NSG) v júni. Príslušné delegácie EÚ koordinovali prípravu príspevkov EÚ na ďalšie medzinárodné zasadnutia, ako boli napr. zasadnutia prípravnej komisie CTBTO a jej pomocných orgánov a iné relevantné zasadnutia v rámci jej mandátu.

1.1.   Hodnotiaca konferencia NPT v roku 2015 (New York 27. apríla – 22. mája 2015)

Závery Rady, ktoré obsahujú pozície EÚ pre deviatu hodnotiacu konferenciu zmluvných strán NPT, sa prijali 20. apríla (dokument 8079/15). Na základe uvedených záverov Rady sa finalizovalo a na podujatie doručilo všeobecné vyhlásenie EÚ a vyhlásenia EÚ pre každý z troch hlavných výborov hodnotiacej konferencie. VP/PK F. Mogherini vydala všeobecné vyhlásenie EÚ v druhý deň konferencie (28. apríla). Na konferencii boli predložené tri pracovné dokumenty EÚ o: 1. CTBT; 2. zárukách a 3. novej smernici Euratomu o bezpečnosti. EÚ na konferencii zorganizovala dve sprievodné podujatia: jedno na podporu Haagskeho kódexu správania proti šíreniu balistických rakiet (8. mája) a druhé o jadrovej bezpečnosti a bezpečnostnej ochrane (14. mája). Hoci sa na hodnotiacej konferencii nepodarilo prijať spoločne dohodnutý záverečný dokument, v platnosti zostáva akčný plán prijatý na hodnotiacej konferencii NPT v roku 2010 a EÚ bude naďalej presadzovať jeho komplexné, vyvážené a vecné vykonávanie v plnej miere.

1.2.   Medzinárodná agentúra pre atómovú energiu (MAAE)

EÚ naďalej posilňovala podporu Medzinárodnej agentúry pre atómovú energiu so sídlom vo Viedni. EÚ je naďalej kľúčovým darcom Fondu pre jadrovú bezpečnosť, do ktorého od roku 2004 prispela sumou takmer 40 miliónov EUR (vrátane najnovšieho záväzku poskytnúť agentúre 8,05 milióna EUR na základe rozhodnutia Rady 2013/517/SZBP z 21. októbra 2013, ktoré sa v súčasnosti vykonáva).

V oblasti fyzickej ochrany jadrových materiálov a jadrových zariadení EÚ okrem toho prispela svojimi odbornými technickými znalosťami k odbornej príprave a seminárom organizovaným MAAE, pričom sa zamerala na zvýšenie schopnosti tretích krajín bojovať proti nezákonnému obchodovaniu s jadrovými a inými rádioaktívnymi materiálmi. EÚ a MAAE pokračovali v koordinácii svojej podpory tretích krajín v tejto oblasti. Na pôde Európskej komisie v Luxemburgu sa 4. a 5. februára 2015 konalo tretie výročné zasadnutie vysokých úradníkov EÚ a MAAE (SOM) za účasti vysokých predstaviteľov ESVČ, Európskej komisie/Euratomu a MAAE. Cieľom zasadnutí vysokých úradníkov je zintenzívniť spoluprácu vo všetkých oblastiach činnosti MAAE, zviditeľniť príspevky EÚ a ďalej koordinovať činnosť EÚ s cieľom zabezpečiť komplementárnosť a zabrániť zdvojovaniu činností centier excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN a MAAE týkajúcich sa jadrovej bezpečnosti (na tento účel EÚ – prostredníctvom spoločného výskumného centra Európskej komisie – a MAAE vykonávajú praktické dojednania na usmernenie svojej spolupráce).

EÚ sa prostredníctvom záverov Rady zaviazala prispieť od roku 2008 do banky slabo obohateného uránu pod záštitou MAAE sumou do výšky 25 miliónov EUR. EÚ na účely podpory tejto banky previedla 20 miliónov EUR z nástroja na podporu stability a mieru. Ďalší príspevok v maximálnej výške 5 miliónov EUR sa na základe rozhodnutia Rady poskytne z rozpočtu SZBP. Schválenie Rady závisí od pokroku vo finalizácii a schválení rôznych dohôd, okrem iných aj dohody s hostiteľským štátom medzi MAAE a Kazachstanom.

V oblasti jadrových záruk riaditeľstvo Európskej komisie pre jadrové záruky naďalej uplatňuje záruky v súvislosti so všetkým civilným jadrovým materiálom vo všetkých 28 členských štátoch EÚ, pričom ročný rozpočet dosahuje približne 20 miliónov EUR. Overovanie záruk sa koordinuje v úzkej spolupráci s MAAE. MAAE a Komisia neustále zintenzívňujú svoju spoluprácu v tejto oblasti s cieľom optimalizovať využitie ľudských a finančných zdrojov a zároveň zachovať čo najvyššiu účinnosť bezpečnostných opatrení. EÚ tiež prostredníctvom podporného programu bezpečnostných opatrení Európskej komisie naďalej poskytovala významnú technickú pomoc MAAE v oblasti jadrových bezpečnostných opatrení.

Hoci EÚ vyčlenila 10 miliónov EUR na podporu medzinárodného projektu, ktorého cieľom je rozšíriť a modernizovať laboratórium pre bezpečnostné opatrenia v rakúskom Seibersdorfe (z čoho sa 9,5 milióna EUR už previedlo), MAAE sa obrátila na medzinárodných darcov vrátane EÚ, aby prispeli aj na modernizáciu laboratória pre jadrové aplikácie v Seibersdorfe.

Európska komisia na úrovni expertov začala v spolupráci s MAAE proces na posúdenie a podporu zlepšenia databázy MAAE pre nedovolené obchodovanie (ITDB), ktorý reaguje na potreby používateľov. Vypracoval sa dokument o najlepších postupoch kultúry harmonizovaného podávania správ, ktorý sa predloží MAAE. V októbri 2013 sa začalo s vývojom web-INF (formulár oznamovania incidentov) s cieľom modernizovať prostriedky správ, a tento proces sa čoskoro dokončí.

V rámci nového nástroja pre spoluprácu v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti (INSC 2014 – 2020) EÚ vyčlenila 3,5 milióna EUR na projekty podpory spolupráce v oblasti jadrovej bezpečnosti, ktoré vykonáva agentúra. Okrem tohto priameho prínosu EÚ a MAAE úzko spolupracujú najmä na riešení problematiky pôvodných lokalít ťažby uránu v Strednej Ázii v rámci Koordinačnej skupiny pre pôvodné lokality ťažby uránu (CGULS), ako aj v rámci Regulačného fóra spolupráce (RCF), ktoré koordinuje medzinárodnú podporu pre regulačné orgány krajín začínajúcich s programom jadrovej energie (Bielorusko, Jordánsko, Vietnam).

Finančné prostriedky, ktoré EÚ poskytla v prospech MAAE na základe jednotných akcií I až IV a rozhodnutia Rady V, pomohli dosiahnuť pokrok v úsilí MAAE o zvýšenie jadrovej bezpečnosti v tretích krajinách s dôrazom na tie štáty, ktoré najviac potrebujú posilniť kontrolu rádioaktívneho a jadrového materiálu, čím sa prispelo k zníženiu rizík. Úsilie sa sústredilo na posilnenie právnej a regulačnej infraštruktúry štátov súvisiacej s jadrovým a iným rádioaktívnym materiálom, opatrenia jadrovej bezpečnosti pre jadrový a iný rádioaktívny materiál, ktorý sa používa, skladuje a prepracuje, a súvisiace zariadenia, schopnosti štátov nakladať s jadrovým a rádioaktívnym materiálom mimo vnútroštátnej regulačnej kontroly, vďaka čomu mohli podporené krajiny splniť svoje vnútroštátne a medzinárodné záväzky. Najnovšie rozhodnutie Rady (MAAE VI, 2013/517/SZBP), prijaté 21. októbra 2013, prispieva k ďalšiemu zvýšeniu jadrovej bezpečnosti na celom svete a k posilneniu európskej bezpečnosti tým, že ponúkne podporu činnostiam, ktoré MAAE vykonáva v rámci plánu jadrovej bezpečnosti na roky 2014 – 2017 najmä v oblastiach uvedených vyššie.

1.3.   Zmluva o všeobecnom zákaze jadrových skúšok (CTBT)

EÚ aktívne presadzovala skoré nadobudnutie platnosti Zmluvy o všeobecnom zákaze jadrových skúšok (CTBT) na základe rozhodnutia Rady 2012/699/SZBP z 13. novembra 2012 na podporu Organizácie Zmluvy o všeobecnom zákaze jadrových skúšok (CTBTO), ako aj presadzovaním tejto myšlienky vo všetkých krajinách, ktoré CTBT ešte nepodpísali ani neratifikovali, vrátane zostávajúcich štátov prílohy II, ktorých ratifikácia je podmienkou pre nadobudnutie platnosti zmluvy. EÚ pokračuje v zvyšovaní informovanosti o CTBT v rôznych kontextoch vrátane stretnutí venovaných politickému dialógu, aby sa vytvorili ďalšie podnety na ratifikáciu tejto zmluvy.

VP/PK F. Mogherini sa zúčastnila na dvojstrannom stretnutí s výkonným tajomníkom prípravnej komisie CTBTO Lassinom Zerbom popri hodnotiacej konferencii NPT, ktorá sa v roku 2015 konala v New Yorku. Európska únia na hodnotiacej konferencii zároveň predložila pracovný dokument o CTBT.

Osobitný vyslanec pre nešírenie a odzbrojenie sa zúčastnil na podujatí CTBTO na vysokej úrovni, ktoré sa konalo popri seminári na tému Kontrola na mieste v rámci integrovaného cvičenia v teréne v roku 2014: debrífing a ďalší postup, ktoré sa v apríli konalo v Ramat-Gane (Izrael), a bezprostredne pozoroval výsledky a súvisiace závery cvičenia IFE14. V tejto súvislosti vo svojich vyjadreniach zdôraznil politickú a finančnú podporu EÚ univerzálnej povahe a účinnému uplatňovaniu CTBT.

Jadrová skúška, ktorú 12. februára 2013 uskutočnila KĽDR, a hrozba možných ďalších skúšok jednoznačne preukázala skutočný význam overovacieho režimu CTBTO, ktorý sa v súčasnosti vyvíja a ktorý EÚ podporuje prostredníctvom rozhodnutí Rady. Tímy CTBTO sa zmobilizovali, aby všetkým krajinám, ktoré podpísali CTBT, poskytli najaktuálnejšie údaje na informovanie rozhodujúcich orgánov. Úsilie zamerané na údržbu siete pomocných seizmických staníc, ktorým sa poskytuje pomoc prostredníctvom jednotných akcií/rozhodnutí Rady I až V, a sprevádzkovanie medzinárodného dátového centra CTBTO (ktoré zhromažďuje, analyzuje a rozširuje údaje získané zo siete staníc) prispeje k potrebnej udržateľnosti systému. Okrem toho je mimoriadne dôležité podporovať dočasný technický sekretariát CTBTO pri uskutočňovaní ďalších cvičení, ako bolo napr. cvičenie v Jordánsku, na účely vyskúšania a zlepšenia operačných spôsobilostí režimu kontrol na mieste.

1.4.   Regionálne otázky (Irán, KĽDR)

EÚ naďalej plne podporuje prebiehajúce snahy o dosiahnutie diplomatického riešenia iránskej jadrovej otázky prostredníctvom rokovaní na základe NPT a úplného vykonávania všetkých príslušných rezolúcií BR OSN a Rady guvernérov MAAE. Priestor potrebný pre prebiehajúce diplomatické úsilie poskytlo bezproblémové vykonávanie dočasnej dohody známej ako spoločný akčný plán, na ktorom sa v novembri 2013 v Ženeve dohodla skupina E3/EÚ + 3 a Irán a ktorý bol predĺžený do 30. júna 2015. Po začatí uplatňovania spoločného akčného plánu EÚ ako sprostredkovateľ rokovaní o jadrových otázkach v rámci skupiny E3 + 3 (Čína, Francúzsko, Nemecko, Rusko, Spojené kráľovstvo a Spojené štáty americké) pristúpila k rokovaniam s Iránom zameraným na dosiahnutie dlhodobého komplexného riešenia iránskej jadrovej otázky, ako sa uvádza v spoločnom akčnom pláne. Na zasadnutí, ktoré sa konalo 2. apríla 2015 v Lausanne, vysoká predstaviteľka EÚ, ministri zahraničných vecí skupiny E3 + 3 a Irán dosiahli politické dojednanie o kľúčových parametroch komplexnej dohody o iránskej jadrovej otázke. Odvtedy prebieha na úrovni politického riaditeľa a expertov úsilie s cieľom pretvoriť dojednania z Lausannu do písomnej dohody do konca júna, keď sa skončí platnosť dočasnej dohody. Súbežne s líniou skupiny E3/EÚ + 3 je rámec spolupráce MAAE a Iránu zameraný na riešenie všetkých súčasných a predchádzajúcich otvorených otázok vrátane otázok súvisiacich s možnými vojenskými rozmermi. V súlade s rámcom spolupráce sa uskutočnili viaceré technické stretnutia MAAE a Iránu. Irán však napriek opakovaným žiadostiam MAAE ešte stále nerealizoval dve zostávajúce praktické opatrenia ani nenavrhol žiadne nové praktické opatrenia v súlade s tretím štádiom rámca spolupráce.

EÚ je naďalej znepokojená skutočnosťou, že Irán vyvíja a testuje balistické rakety a vesmírne dopravné prostriedky, čo je porušením rezolúcií BR OSN č. 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835 a 1929. EÚ tieto činnosti opakovane odsúdila, keďže pri nich zákonite vzniká riziko vojenského využitia jadrového výbušného zariadenia. Pokiaľ ide o KĽDR, EÚ je naďalej mimoriadne znepokojená pokračujúcim rozvojom jadrového programu a programu balistických rakiet i skutočnosťou, že režim považuje posilnenie jadrových spôsobilostí za politickú prioritu. EÚ ďalej naliehavo vyzýva KĽDR, aby plnila svoje záväzky prijaté v rámci príslušných rezolúcií Bezpečnostnej rady OSN, a to aj úplným, overiteľným a nezvratným ukončením všetkých jej existujúcich jadrových programov, programov týkajúcich sa zbraní hromadného ničenia a programov balistických rakiet. EÚ ďalej vyzýva KĽDR, aby si opäť v plnej miere plnila záväzky NPT a MAAE týkajúce sa bezpečnostných opatrení a poskytla MAAE požadovaný prístup k osobám, dokumentácii, vybaveniu a zariadeniam. EÚ nepretržite podporuje obnovenie šesťstranných rozhovorov a vyzýva KĽDR, aby sa vrátila k dôveryhodným a autentickým medzinárodným rokovaniam. Okrem vykonávania rezolúcií Bezpečnostnej rady OSN zaviedla EÚ aj dodatočné autonómne reštriktívne opatrenia vrátane posilnených kontrol tovaru dvojakého použitia a šírenia konvenčných zbraní. EÚ zopakovala svoju výzvu určenú KĽDR, aby ratifikovala CTBT a vzdala sa akýchkoľvek ďalších provokačných akcií. KĽDR naďalej porušuje rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087 a 2094, čo EÚ čo najdôraznejšie odsudzuje.

2.   KONFERENCIA O ODZBROJENÍ (CD)/ZMLUVA O ZÁKAZE VÝROBY ŠTIEPNEHO MATERIÁLU PRE JADROVÉ ZBRANE ALEBO INÉ JADROVÉ VÝBUŠNÉ ZARIADENIA

EÚ je naďalej odhodlaná podporovať jadrové odzbrojenie a kontrolu jadrových zbraní na základe zmluvy a vyzdvihuje potrebu obnoviť multilaterálne úsilie a orgány pre multilaterálne rokovania, najmä konferenciu o odzbrojení, a v tejto súvislosti hľadať možnosti, ako napríklad jej rozšírenie v budúcnosti. Súčasná patová situácia vrátane pretrvávajúcich neúspešných pokusov dohodnúť sa na pracovnom programe je ďalej zdrojom znepokojenia.

EÚ pripomína svoju výzvu na bezodkladné začatie a skoré ukončenie rokovaní o Zmluve o zákaze výroby štiepnych materiálov pre jadrové zbrane alebo iné jadrové výbušné zariadenia v rámci Konferencie o odzbrojení na základe dokumentu CD/1299 a na základe mandátu obsiahnutého v tomto dokumente, čo je naďalej jasnou prioritou. EÚ vyzýva všetky štáty, ktoré tak ešte neurobili, aby vyhlásili a dodržiavali okamžité moratórium na výrobu štiepnych materiálov pre jadrové zbrane alebo iné výbušné jadrové zariadenia, ako aj odstavili zariadenia určené na výrobu štiepnych materiálov pre jadrové zbrane alebo zmenili program výroby v týchto zariadeniach na výlučne nevýbušné účely. EÚ víta opatrenia tých z piatich štátov, ktoré vlastnia jadrové zbrane, najmä dvoch členských štátov EÚ, a ktoré príslušné moratóriá vyhlásili a takéto zariadenia odstavili alebo zmenili ich program.

EÚ tiež víta konštruktívne rokovania počas zasadnutí skupiny vládnych expertov v roku 2014 a 2015 a ich úspešné ukončenie a uviedla, že verí, že ich správa bude základom pre budúce rokovania.

3.   CHEMICKÉ ZBRANE

Rozhodnutím Rady (SZBP) 2015/259 na roky 2015 – 2017, ktoré sa prijalo 17. februára, sa pre OPCW vyčlenilo približne 2,5 milióna EUR na podporné činnosti, ako je napr. podpora univerzálnosti dohovoru, vnútroštátneho vykonávania, medzinárodnej spolupráce, programu Afrika a uplatňovania poznatkov získaných zo sýrskej operácie. Toto rozhodnutie Rady predstavuje šiesty dobrovoľný príspevok EÚ k činnosti OPCW od roku 2005 ako symbol nepretržitej podpory a uznanie dôležitej práce, ktorú táto organizácia vykonáva.

EÚ pokračuje v podpore Organizácie pre zákaz chemických zbraní (OPCW) na účely zrušenia sýrskeho programu v oblasti chemických zbraní. Urobila tak predĺžením platnosti rozhodnutia prispieť z nástroja na podporu stability a mieru sumou 12 miliónov EUR do trustového fondu OPCW. Na žiadosť OPCW EÚ skúma možnosť ďalšieho príspevku k zničeniu zostávajúcich sýrskych zariadení na výrobu chemických zbraní a súvisiacim činnostiam.

Rozhodnutím Rady 2014/74/SZBP z 11. februára 2014 a nariadením Rady (EÚ) č. 124/2014 z 10. februára 2014 sa zaviedla výnimka, ktorá umožňuje využívať zmrazené sýrske aktíva na pokrytie nákladov na činnosti OPCW zamerané na overovanie a ničenie chemických zbraní v Sýrii. V novembri 2014 EÚ listom informovala generálneho riaditeľa OPCW o tejto možnosti a zároveň ho požiadala, aby v tomto zmysle zaslal demarš sýrskym orgánom. Návrh sa zaslal sýrskym orgánom, ktoré ho zatiaľ odmietajú. EÚ sa však k tomuto návrhu vracia pri všetkých vhodných príležitostiach, ako aj vo vyhláseniach EÚ na zasadnutiach OPCW.

Po tretej hodnotiacej konferencii dohovoru o chemických zbraniach (CWC) v apríli 2013 sa EÚ naďalej sústredila na svoje priority, a to najmä: i) ukončenie likvidácie existujúcich zásob; ii) presadzovanie univerzálneho charakteru CWC (Sýria sa 14. októbra 2013 stala 190. zmluvnou stranou dohovoru); iii) vnútroštátne vykonávanie podľa článku VII; iv) prechod k úsiliu o nešírenie; v) presadzovanie budovania kapacít so zreteľom na bezpečnosť a ochranu v chemickom priemysle v rozvojových krajinách v súlade s článkom XI a reakciu na použitie chemických zbraní podľa článku X.

Napriek tomu, že určité z počiatočných kľúčových cieľov dohovoru CWC je stále potrebné splniť, EÚ a jej členské štáty začali plánovať fázu nasledujúcu po likvidácii chemických zbraní a postupne začínajú zvažovať budúce výzvy (napr. zákaz obnovenia chemických zbraní, ich nasadenie zo strany neštátnych aktérov a teroristov, konvergenciu s biologickými zbraňami), a teda i účinnosť dohovoru. V tejto súvislosti EÚ pozorne preskúma nedávno vydanú poznámku OPCW s názvom OPCW v roku 2025: zabezpečenie sveta bez chemických zbraní, dokument S/1252/2015 zo 6. marca 2015, s cieľom prispieť k relevantnej diskusii na zasadnutiach príslušných orgánov OPCW.

Pokiaľ ide o účinok podpory EÚ, všetky krajiny, ktoré boli vybrané ako príjemcovia pomoci, ju použili na odstránenie kritických technických nedostatkov, čo týmto zmluvným stranám umožnilo dosiahnuť významný pokrok vo vnútroštátnom vykonávaní CWC. Možno tiež uviesť, že rozhodnutia Rady EÚ zostávajú jediným možným spôsobom poskytovania tohto typu pomoci, ktorá je zameraná na odstránenie nedostatkov vo vykonávaní. Z 90 vnútroštátnych vykonávacích podprojektov, ktoré uskutočnil technický sekretariát OPCW za posledné roky, by sa približne polovica nemohla uskutočniť bez financovania na základe jednotných akcií/rozhodnutí Rady. Pokiaľ ide o prioritu EÚ, ktorou je podpora univerzálnosti CWC, od prijatia prvej jednotnej akcie pristúpilo k dohovoru celkom devätnásť krajín a štyri z tých, ktoré pristúpili v roku 2005, boli zapojené do osvetových aktivít financovaných jednotnou akciou EÚ/rozhodnutím Rady; to platí aj pre všetky krajiny, ktoré pristúpili neskôr.

4.   BIOLOGICKÉ ZBRANE

V rámci príprav na ôsmu hodnotiacu konferenciou BTWC (Ženeva november/december 2016) EÚ pracovala na príprave rokovaní o novom rozhodnutí Rady na podporu BTWC a spoločnej pozícii EÚ na ďalšiu hodnotiacu konferenciu a ich prípadnom prijatí.

EÚ sa zapája aj do podpory zvyšovania biologickej bezpečnosti a posilňovania biologickej ochrany. Rozhodnutie Rady 2013/668/SZBP prijaté 18. novembra 2013 poskytuje v tejto súvislosti prostredníctvom technickej expertízy WHO viac ako 1,7 milióna EUR na podporu projektov, ktorých cieľom je vo vybraných zmluvných stranách podporiť informovanosť o biologických rizikách, riadenie biologických rizík v laboratóriách a vývoj národných stratégií pre laboratóriá.

5.   BALISTICKÉ RAKETY

5.1.   Haagsky kódex správania proti šíreniu balistických rakiet (HCoC)

EÚ považuje Haagsky kódex proti šíreniu balistických rakiet (HCoC) za jedinečný multilaterálny nástroj zameraný na obmedzenie šírenia systémov balistických rakiet a súvisiacich technológií prostredníctvom transparentnosti a opatrení na budovanie dôvery a podporuje ho od jeho počiatkov. K tomuto kódexu sa hlásia všetky členské štáty EÚ. EÚ naďalej vykonáva a podporuje tri aspekty kódexu: univerzálnosť, vykonávanie a posilnené a lepšie uplatňovanie.

Vykonávanie nového rozhodnutia Rady (2014/913/SZBP) na podporu HCoC, ktoré Rada prijala 15. decembra 2014, sa začalo na jar 2015. V súlade s uvedeným rozhodnutím Rady EÚ zorganizovala jedno sprievodné podujatie v máji 2015 popri hodnotiacej konferencii NPT. EÚ zastupoval vedúci delegácie EÚ vo Viedni. Zazneli jasné odkazy na financovanie zo strany EÚ, ktoré zopakovali takmer všetci rečníci. Podujatie sa vysielalo naživo online.

Členské štáty EÚ pracujú na vykonávaní rozhodnutia Rady 2014/913/SZBP z 15. decembra 2014 na podporu HCoC a nešírenie balistických rakiet.

5.2.   MTCR

Plenárne zasadnutie MTCR, na ktorom sa prednieslo vyhlásenie EÚ, sa uskutočnilo 1. – 3. októbra 2014 v Oslo. Zasadnutie posilneného kontaktného bodu MTCR sa konalo v marci 2015, pričom ESVČ predložila komplexné vyhlásenie.

Štyri krajiny EÚ spomedzi EU-9 obnovili svoju žiadosť o členstvo v MTCR: Rumunsko, Estónsko, Slovinsko a Chorvátsko.

Na plenárnom zasadnutí, ktoré sa v roku 2014 konalo v Oslo, Luxembursko a Holandsko oznámili, že v rokoch 2015 – 2016 budú spoločne vykonávať predsedníctvo MTCR.

6.   ZMIERŇOVANIE RIZÍK CBRN

EÚ pokračovala v napredovaní pri vykonávaní akčného plánu EÚ v oblasti chemickej, biologickej, rádiologickej a jadrovej bezpečnosti (CBRN) prijatého v roku 2009, pričom dosiaľ sa z programu s názvom Predchádzanie trestnej činnosti a boj proti nej (ISEC) podporilo asi 30 projektov.

Okrem toho rôznorodé projekty súvisiace s CBRN, financované prostredníctvom programu Bezpečná spoločnosť v rámci 7. rámcového programu, poskytujú vedeckú a technickú podporu akčnému plánu pre oblasť CBRN prostredníctvom vedeckých výstupov, ktoré sa týkajú celého cyklu krízového riadenia (od prevencie po obnovu). Pokračujú tiež činnosti zamerané na identifikáciu potrieb normalizácie v tejto oblasti, ktoré môžu vyústiť do stanovenia „európskych noriem“. Program Horizont 2020 (na roky 2014 – 2020) posilní prebiehajúci výskum v oblasti CBRN prostredníctvom cielených tém; pracovný program pre tento výskum sa prijal 10. decembra 2013.

V správe o pokroku vo vykonávaní akčného plánu za rok 2012 sa zdôraznili hlavné úspechy, najmä pokiaľ ide o posilnenie výmeny informácií a osvedčených postupov, usporadúvanie spoločných cvičení a dohodu o troch zoznamoch EÚ obsahujúcich vysokorizikové látky, pokiaľ ide o chemickú, biologickú a rádiologickú a jadrovú oblasť.

S cieľom vykonať súčasný akčný plán do roku 2015 a vymedziť nový program pre oblasť CBRN-E (výbušniny) Komisia úzko spolupracuje s orgánmi členských štátov a inými relevantnými zainteresovanými stranami v rámci poradnej skupiny pre CBRN-E a jej podskupín, ktoré pravidelne zasadajú.

Európska komisia prijala v máji 2014 oznámenie o novom prístupe EÚ k odhaľovaniu a zmierňovaniu rizík CBRN-E [dokument COM(2014) 247 final]. Navrhuje v ňom uľahčiť praktickú spoluprácu s cieľom odhaľovať a zmierňovať riziká CBRN-E na úrovni EÚ, a to v spolupráci s priemyslom, prevádzkovateľmi zariadení pracujúcimi s CBRN-E materiálmi (výrobcovia zariadení a poskytovatelia bezpečnostných služieb) a ďalšími zainteresovanými stranami. Dokument obsahuje súbor 30 opatrení, ktoré majú v najbližšej budúcnosti realizovať rozličné útvary Komisie v spolupráci s členskými štátmi. Vyvinú sa konkrétne nástroje, a to od usmerňujúcich materiálov a odbornej prípravy až po zvyšovanie informovanosti a testovanie.

Komisia v súčasnosti zhromažďuje príspevky členských štátov, ako aj iných príslušných európskych inštitúcií a útvarov s cieľom predložiť do konca roka záverečnú správu o pokroku vo vykonávaní akčného plánu z roku 2009. Komisia zároveň predloží návrhy na ďalšiu prácu v oblasti CBRN-E.

V máji 2010 EÚ spustila iniciatívu „centrá excelentnosti (CoE) EÚ v oblasti zmierňovania rizík CBRN“, ktorá sa financuje z nástroja na podporu stability a mieru. Centrá excelentnosti EÚ v oblasti CBRN sa zriaďujú v reakcii na zistené nedostatočné inštitucionálne kapacity viacerých krajín, pokiaľ ide o zmierňovanie rizík CBRN: rizík trestnej činnosti (šírenia materiálov CBRN alebo terorizmu), prírodných katastrof a nehôd (priemyselných nehôd). Ich cieľom je vypracovať na národnej a regionálnej úrovni politiku CBRN pre všetky hrozby, aby sa tieto riziká dali predpokladať a mohlo sa na ne reagovať. Toto sú v krátkosti štrukturálne opatrenia na zníženie zraniteľnosti krajín vzhľadom na udalosti súvisiace s CBRN vo vzájomnom záujme regiónov a bezpečnosti EÚ.

Daný cieľ možno dosiahnuť vytvorením regionálnych sietí odborných znalostí v právnych, regulačných, technických a kontrolných otázkach, ako aj v otázkach presadzovania pravidiel týkajúcich sa znižovania rizík v oblasti CBRN pri dodržiavaní prístupu zdola nahor a cezhraničného prístupu v záujme určenia regionálnych priorít, ktoré nemožno dosiahnuť len na národnej úrovni.

7.   ODBORNÉ ZOSKUPENIA („THINK TANKS“)

Činnosť EÚ v rámci stratégie EÚ proti šíreniu zbraní hromadného ničenia na základe rozhodnutia Rady 2010/430/SZBP z 26. júla 2010 aktívne podporovalo Združenie EÚ pre nešírenie zbraní, ktoré začalo svoju činnosť v januári 2011. Novým rozhodnutím prijatým 10. marca 2014 sa predĺžila činnosť združenia o ďalšie tri roky, pričom vychádzať sa bude z výsledkov a skúseností z obdobia 2011 – 2013 a pridajú sa tiež nové a inovatívne projekty.

Činnosť združenia posilnila viditeľnosť EÚ v tretích krajinách a v prostredí občianskej spoločnosti a výrazne prispela k formovaniu politiky EÚ v oblasti nešírenia a odzbrojenia. Združenie je platformou pre neformálne kontakty medzi ľuďmi z praxe a pomáha podporovať dialóg medzi rôznymi zainteresovanými stranami. Združenie zahŕňa viac ako 65 odborných zoskupení z celej Európy. Jeho činnosť prispela k zvýšeniu informovanosti o výzvach v jadrovej, chemickej a biologickej oblasti.

8.   REZOLÚCIA BEZPEČNOSTNEJ RADY ORGANIZÁCIE SPOJENÝCH NÁRODOV Č. 1540 A KONTROLA VÝVOZU

a)   Rezolúcia BR OSN č. 1540

Úrad OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia (UNODA), ktorý organizuje regionálne pracovné semináre a podporné návštevy jednotlivých krajín na celom svete, vykonáva rozhodnutie Rady z 22. júla 2013 na podporu rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540. Vykonávanie tohto rozhodnutia Rady prispieva k zintenzívneniu relevantného národného a regionálneho úsilia, k naplneniu odporúčaní z komplexného preskúmania vykonávania rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540 z roku 2009 v praxi a na požiadanie dotknutých štátov aj k iniciovaniu a príprave národných akčných plánov.

UNODA podpísal dohodu s OBSE, vďaka ktorej vzniknú synergie na podporu rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540. O synergiu a koordináciu je potrebné usilovať sa aj s centrami excelentnosti EÚ pre oblasť CBRN, a to aj s cieľom predchádzať duplicitnej činnosti. Pomocou financií z fondov EÚ sa už usporiadalo viac ako 15 podujatí, posledné z nich v júni 2015 v Jordánsku.

b)   Kontrola vývozu

V nadväznosti na prijatie oznámenia Európskej komisie o preskúmaní režimu kontroly vývozu z 24. apríla 2014, v ktorom sa identifikujú konkrétne politické možnosti modernizácie a adaptácie kontroly vývozu na rýchlo sa meniacu technologickú, ekonomickú a politickú situáciu, Európsky parlament uskutočnil v januári 2015 verejné vypočutie. Komisia začala posúdenie vplyvu jednotlivých možností revízie uvedených v oznámení s cieľom identifikovať najvhodnejšie regulačné a neregulačné opatrenia na účely ich realizácie a v decembri 2014 zadala Štokholmskému medzinárodnému ústavu pre výskum mieru (SIPRI) zákazku na zber údajov na podporu posúdenia vplyvu a pripravenia pôdy na vypracovanie revidovaných predpisov o kontrole vývozu.

Pokiaľ ide o reguláciu, po delegovaní právomoci podľa nariadenia (EÚ) č. 599/2014 nadobudlo v decembri 2014 účinnosť delegované nariadenie Komisie (EÚ) č. 1382/2014, ktorým sa aktualizuje kontrolný zoznam EÚ vzhľadom na rozhodnutia prijaté v rámci multilaterálnych režimov kontroly vývozu z rokov 2011 – 2013. V marci 2015 Komisia začala po porade s odborníkmi z členských štátov prípravy nového delegovaného nariadenia, ktorým sa aktualizuje kontrolný zoznam EÚ vzhľadom na rozhodnutia prijaté v rámci režimu z roku 2014.

Vykonávanie kontrol vývozu sa podporilo tromi zasadnutiami koordinačnej skupiny pre položky s dvojakým použitím v prvom polroku 2015, ktoré sa zamerali najmä na zavedenie nových funkcií elektronického systému pre položky s dvojakým použitím a technickú výmenu informácií o rôznych otázkach spojených s kontrolou.

EÚ koordinovala podporu pozícií EÚ dohodnutých v rámci relevantných zasadnutí zameraných na režimy kontroly vývozu konaných počas prvého polroka 2015 (zasadnutie Skupiny jadrových dodávateľov: konzultačné zasadnutia skupiny, ktoré sa konali v apríli vo Viedni a v júni v Bariloche/Argentína, ako aj plenárne zasadnutie v júni v Bariloche/Argentína; Režim kontroly raketových technológií: zasadnutie posilneného kontaktného bodu, ktoré sa konalo v marci v Paríži, Austrálska skupina: plenárne zasadnutie, ktoré sa konalo v júni v Perthe/Austrália).

Pokračoval tiež osvetový program EÚ v oblasti kontroly vývozu zameraný na posilnenie administratívnych a technických kapacít v tretích krajinách (23), pokiaľ ide o položky s dvojakým použitím. V rámci osvetového programu sa realizovali nové činnosti v Maroku, Tunisku, Jordánsku, Pakistane a Srbsku. Osobitná pozornosť sa venovala intenzívnej spolupráci s ministerstvom zahraničných vecí USA, pokiaľ ide o jeho program na kontrolu vývozu zbraní a súvisiacu bezpečnosť hraníc (EXBS) na zvýšenie synergie medzi uvedenými dvoma programami. Zorganizovali sa ad hoc semináre v Kyjeve a Košiciach s cieľom propagovať cezhraničnú a medziregionálnu spoluprácu v oblasti strategickej kontroly obchodu s Ukrajinou, Gruzínskom a Moldavskou republikou, ako aj s členskými štátmi EÚ na východe. Ako jednotné kontaktné miesto pre všetky osvetové programy EÚ (dvojaké použitie, ARMS, ATT) bol zriadený osvetový portál EÚ (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) s cieľom na mieru prispôsobiť výmenu informácií s partnerskými krajinami EÚ. V januári 2015 sa konala mimoriadna konferencia s partnerskými krajinami na tému „nové a vznikajúce problémy“ týkajúce sa kontroly vývozu. Ukončila sa štúdia o výzvach spojených s kontrolou vývozu v Afrike. Osvetový program sa financuje z nástroja na podporu stability a mieru.

9.   KOZMICKÝ PRIESTOR

Od roku 2007 EÚ podporuje vývoj medzinárodného kódexu správania pre činnosti v kozmickom priestore. Tento medzinárodný a dobrovoľný súbor usmernení a opatrení na budovanie dôvery by posilnil ochranu, bezpečnosť a predvídateľnosť všetkých činností v kozmickom priestore. Týmito usmerneniami by sa mali okrem iného obmedziť alebo minimalizovať škodlivé zásahy, kolízie alebo nehody v kozmickom priestore, ako aj tvorba odpadu. Stanovili by sa v ňom základné pravidlá, ktoré by mali dodržiavať všetky krajiny realizujúce vesmírne programy, či už ide o civilné, alebo vojenské činnosti.

EÚ zorganizovala tri kolá viacstranných otvorených konzultácií o návrhu znenia kódexu: v Kyjeve (máj 2013), Bangkoku (november 2013) a Luxemburgu (máj 2014). Celkovo sa na procese konzultácií zúčastnilo 95 členských štátov OSN (na každom kole sa zúčastnilo 61 krajín). Proces otvorených konzultácií, ktorý sa uzatvoril zasadnutím v Luxemburgu, zohral významnú úlohu pri prehlbovaní pochopenia pozícií a obáv účastníckych štátov. Predseda na záverečnom zasadnutí konštatoval, že o túto iniciatívu existuje široký medzinárodný záujem. Mnoho krajín vyjadrilo želanie, aby proces prešiel do fázy rokovaní, v ktorej by návrh kódexu vypracovaný počas konzultácií mohol poslúžiť ako základ budúcich viacstranných rokovaní.

V koordinácii s podobne zmýšľajúcimi krajinami a s pomocou Úradu OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia EÚ naplánovala konanie mnohostranných rokovaní o svojom návrhu medzinárodného kódexu správania pre činnosti v kozmickom priestore na 27. až 31. júla 2015 v New Yorku. Na toto zasadnutie budú pozvané všetky členské štáty OSN.

10.   DOLOŽKY O NEŠÍRENÍ ZHN

EÚ v súlade so svojou stratégiou proti šíreniu ZHN pokračovala v presadzovaní nešírenia ZHN vo svojich zmluvných vzťahoch s tretími krajinami. Uskutočnili sa ďalšie rokovania o doložkách o nešírení ZHM v príslušných dohodách medzi EÚ a tretími krajinami, najmä s Malajziou. Tieto rokovania prispeli k zvýšeniu informovanosti o politike EÚ v oblasti nešírenia a odzbrojenia a vytvorili fórum na prehĺbenie vzájomného pochopenia, pokiaľ ide o relevantné pozície, identifikáciu možných oblastí budúcej spolupráce a podporu partnerských krajín pri dosahovaní konkrétneho pokroku vo vzťahu k medzinárodnému režimu nešírenia.

11.   INÉ VIACSTRANNÉ FÓRA

G7

EÚ sa naďalej aktívne zúčastňovala na zasadnutiach riaditeľov pre oblasť nešírenia a odzbrojenia (28. a 29. januára v Aachene a 4. a 5. marca v Hamburgu), ktoré viedli k úspešnému prerokovaniu vyhlásenia o nešírení a odzbrojení, ktoré sa pripojilo k vyhláseniu ministrov zahraničných vecí z 15. apríla z Lubecku.

Globálne partnerstvo (GP) sa od svojho vzniku v roku 2002 rozšírilo a stalo sa platformou pre koordináciu a spoluprácu; v súčasnosti má 20 ďalších partnerov. Na samite v máji 2011 v Deauville sa vedúci predstavitelia dohodli na ďalšom posilňovaní biologickej bezpečnosti, vykonávaní rezolúcie BR OSN č. 1540, zapojení vedcov a jadrovej a rádiologickej bezpečnosti. Spojené štáty v roku 2012, Spojené kráľovstvo v roku 2013 a Rusko až do pozastavenia jeho členstva v skupine G8 v roku 2014 napredovali v realizácii tohto programu, a to predovšetkým posilnením piatich existujúcich pracovných podskupín pre biologickú bezpečnosť, chemickú bezpečnosť, jadrovú a rádiologickú bezpečnosť a centrá excelentnosti (CoE), ako aj prostredníctvom osvety a rozširovania činnosti v rámci pracovnej skupiny GP. Centrá excelentnosti EÚ naďalej zohrávajú v rámci pracovnej podskupiny GP pre centrá excelentnosti poprednú úlohu, najmä ako nástroj na uľahčenie výmeny informácií na regionálnej úrovni a prípadne zabránenie zdvojovaniu úsilia darcov. EÚ má rovnaké priority, aké si vymedzilo nemecké predsedníctvo na roky 2014 a 2015, najmä pokiaľ ide o biologické vedy, na ktoré sa v programe kladie dôraz. Cieľom je lepšie zabezpečiť a evidovať materiály, posilniť dohľad nad chorobami a reakcie na núdzové situácie (napr. pri ebole a iných pandémiách), posilniť vnútroštátne a globálne siete, ako i bezpečné a zodpovedné správanie v biologických vedách. Tento prístup je v súlade s významnou úlohou, ktorú EÚ už zohráva v oblasti biologických vied prostredníctvom BTWC a rozhodnutí rady WHO, ako aj troch mobilných laboratórií EÚ, ktoré sa v máji 2014 vyslali do západnej Afriky a ku ktorým čoskoro pribudne ďalšie.

Medzinárodné stredisko pre vedu a techniku

EÚ aktívne prispela k rokovaniam o prijatí aktualizovanej dohody o Medzinárodnom stredisku pre vedu a techniku (ISTC). Cieľom tohto strediska je spolupráca s vedcami a technickými pracovníkmi, ktorí disponujú znalosťami o dvojakom použití, v oblasti mierového výskumu alebo komerčných programov s EÚ a ďalšími partnermi. Jeho zámerom je ďalšie využívanie znalostí v oblasti dvojakého použitia, a to zmenou zamerania príslušných vedeckých pracovníkov a ich presunom, vďaka čomu by mohlo zohrať úlohu v procese vytvárania dlhodobých riešení krízových situácií v oblasti šírenia. EÚ zdôraznila počas rokovaní potrebu dohody, ktorá by stredisku ISTC umožňovala vykonávanie projektov prispievajúcich k účinnému riešeniu výzev v oblastiach, ktoré sú z hľadiska šírenia problematické, vrátane Blízkeho východu. V júni 2014 bola v Astane oficiálne otvorená nová pobočka ISTC.

12.   ZASADNUTIA V RÁMCI POLITICKÉHO DIALÓGU

Osobitný vyslanec viedol politické dialógy o nešírení a odzbrojení s Brazíliou, Egyptom, Japonskom, USA a Izraelom. Uskutočnil tiež niekoľko ďalších dvojstranných konzultácií s rôznymi aktérmi, a to aj popri významných podujatiach, ako napríklad popri hodnotiacej konferencii NPT v roku 2015 v New Yorku (s vysokým predstaviteľom OSN pre otázky odzbrojenia, riaditeľom UNIDIR, USA, Kórejskou republikou, Izraelom, Egyptom atď.).

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.

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.
