Raport anual privind progresele înregistrate cu privire la punerea în aplicare a strategiei Uniunii Europene împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă (2018)

(2019/C 202/01)

INTRODUCERE

| 1. | Prezentul raport privind progresele înregistrate cu privire la punerea în aplicare a Strategiei Uniunii Europene împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă (ADM), adoptată de Consiliul European în decembrie 2003 (documentul 15708/03), are drept obiect activitățile desfășurate în 2018. Raportul nu este exhaustiv și se axează pe principalele evoluții. Toate activitățile au fost întreprinse în contextul mai amplu al politicii UE în materie de securitate și al prevenirii conflictelor. |

Tratatul de neproliferare nucleară și Agenția Internațională pentru Energie Atomică

| 6. | Ciclul de revizuire a TNP a continuat cu cea de a doua sesiune a comitetului de pregătire a Conferinței părților din 2020 de revizuire a TNP, desfășurată la Viena în perioada 23 aprilie-4 mai 2018. UE a formulat patru declarații: una în dezbaterea generală și trei în dezbaterile privind dezarmarea nucleară, privind neproliferarea și, respectiv, privind utilizarea în scopuri pașnice; a fost făcută, de asemenea, o declarație în sprijinul creării unei zone fără ADM în Orientul Mijlociu. În plus, UE a organizat două evenimente colaterale: unul privind sprijinul UE în favoarea Tratatului de interzicere totală a experiențelor nucleare și a Organizației acestui tratat, iar celălalt privind beneficiile Tratatului de neproliferare a armelor nucleare, cu accent pe cooperarea internațională în domeniul surselor radioactive pe toată durata ciclului lor de viață. De asemenea, UE a prezentat documente de lucru privind verificarea dezarmării nucleare și privind un tratat de interzicere a producerii de material fisil. Toate statele membre ale UE au sprijinit declarația care abordează provocarea nucleară reprezentată de Coreea de Nord. În cadrul celei de a 73-a sesiuni a Comisiei I a Adunării Generale a ONU pentru dezarmare și securitate internațională, UE a contribuit la toate dezbaterile relevante, inclusiv la dezbaterea tematică privind armele nucleare. |
| --- | --- |

| 7. | UE a acordat în continuare sprijin pentru responsabilitățile de bază ale AIEA privind neproliferarea, energia nucleară, securitatea nucleară, siguranța nucleară și cooperarea tehnică. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | UE contribuie la punerea în aplicare a Planului de siguranță nucleară al AIEA pentru perioada 2018-2021 prin Decizia (PESC) 2016/2383 a Consiliului (1) care finanțează activitățile AIEA îndreptate către universalizarea instrumentelor internaționale în materie de neproliferare și de siguranță nucleară; sprijinirea statelor în vederea dezvoltării unui capital tehnic, științific și uman autohton, necesar pentru o siguranță nucleară durabilă și eficace; consolidarea capacităților de a preveni, a detecta, a răspunde la actele infracționale sau neautorizate săvârșite cu intenție care implică materiale nucleare sau alte materiale radioactive care nu fac obiectul controlului de reglementare și a proteja persoanele, bunurile, mediul și societatea împotriva acestora; consolidarea detectării traficului ilicit cu materiale nucleare și alte materiale radioactive, precum și a metodelor de combatere a acestuia; contribuirea la securitatea informatică în domeniul nuclear; consolidarea securității surselor radioactive, transportarea acestora în locuri de depozitare sigure și securizate în țările care au nevoie de sprijin, inclusiv repatrierea către țara de origine sau către furnizor; consolidarea protecției fizice a materialelor nucleare și a altor materiale radioactive. |
| --- | --- |

8.

| 9. | Centrul Comun de Cercetare al Comisiei Europene (JRC) a continuat să susțină baza de date a AIEA privind incidentele și cazurile de trafic (ITDB) prin oferirea de cursuri de formare și dezvoltare pentru punctele de contact în materie de ITDB din statele membre ale Uniunii Europene și din țările din regiunea Balcanilor. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | În marja celei de a 5-a reuniuni a înalților funcționari UE-AIEA (15 februarie 2017), JRC și AIEA au semnat Modalitățile practice de cooperare în domeniul științei nucleare aplicate, care vizează elaborarea de activități comune și evitarea duplicării eforturilor. Una dintre activitățile incluse în aceste modalități practice este monitorizarea radioactivității mediului, măsurată în toată Europa și în mai multe alte locuri de pe glob sub forma valorilor medii și maxime ale debitului dozei gamma înregistrate în intervalul de 24 de ore care precedă măsurarea. Aceste măsurători provin de la aproximativ 5 500 de puncte de monitorizare administrate de autoritățile naționale competente din 39 de țări, care raportează cele mai recente valori radiologice Platformei europene de schimb de date radiologice (EURDEP). Notificarea unui accident radiologic sau a unei situații de urgență radiologică se realizează prin intermediul rețelelor de notificare rapidă precum ECURIE, gestionată de Comisia Europeană, sau EMERCON, gestionată de AIEA, după consultarea autorităților naționale competente. Printre activitățile desfășurate în 2018 se numără elaborarea unor proceduri armonizate în privința pregătirii și a intervenției în caz de urgență, participarea la exerciții (ConvEx, ECUREX) și sprijinul acordat sistemului internațional de informare privind monitorizarea radiațiilor (testarea schimbului de date cu țări din afara Europei, schimbul de date privind monitorizarea regională). |

10.

| 11. | Planul comun de acțiune cuprinzător (JCPOA) este un element-cheie în arhitectura mondială a neproliferării nucleare și o realizare a diplomației multilaterale. Continuarea punerii complete și efective în aplicare a acordului este esențială pentru securitatea europeană. UE contribuie în continuare la punerea în aplicare a JCPOA prin coordonarea comisiei mixte și a mai multor grupuri de lucru la nivel de experți instituite în cadrul JCPOA. De asemenea, UE sprijină în continuare pe deplin misiunea pe termen lung a AIEA care are obiectivul de a verifica și de a monitoriza respectarea de către Iran a angajamentelor sale în domeniul nuclear. Începând cu 2016, UE s-a angajat în punerea în aplicare a anexei III din JCPOA, în special prin proiecte destinate îmbunătățirii securității nucleare. Au fost deja alocate 15 milioane EUR pentru cooperarea civilo-nucleară cu Iranul și au fost contractate trei proiecte pentru a sprijini atât autoritatea iraniană de reglementare în domeniul nuclear, cât și operatorul centralei nucleare de la Bushehr. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | Cooperarea nucleară civilă cu Iranul este un pilon esențial al JCPOA și un element central al dialogului UE cu Iranul. Aceasta contribuie la o înțelegere mai bună a nevoilor Iranului în domeniul nuclear civil și consolidează treptat încrederea în caracterul pașnic al programului nuclear iranian. În 2018, cooperarea UE-Iran a presupus îndeosebi schimburi frecvente la nivel înalt privind chestiuni de politică cu un accent special pe guvernanța nucleară; un atelier comun privind răspunderea și asigurarea în contextul nuclear civil; proiecte care sprijină eforturile depuse de autoritatea iraniană de reglementare în domeniul nuclear de a se alinia la standardele internaționale în domeniul legislativ și de reglementare; seminare științifice și vizite tehnice la siturile și laboratoarele nucleare ale Centrului Comun de Cercetare al UE; conferințe internaționale cu părțile interesate din domeniul nuclear; proiecte de sprijin pentru modernizarea reactorului de cercetare de la Arak (Khondab) și conversia instalației Fordow într-un centru nuclear, de fizică și de tehnologie. Iranul a rămas cel mai mare beneficiar al activităților UE în domeniul securității nucleare. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Acordurile de garanții generalizate împreună cu protocoalele adiționale constituie standardul actual de verificare, iar UE continuă să facă apel la aderarea universală la acestea fără întârziere. Cooperarea strânsă dintre Euratom și AIEA permite garanții efective și eficiente. UE sprijină în mod activ sistemul de garanții al AIEA prin intermediul programului de sprijin al Comisiei Europene în domeniul garanțiilor, al Instrumentului pentru cooperarea în materie de securitate nucleară și prin programele de sprijin ale statelor membre. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | UE și statele sale membre acordă cea mai mare importanță punerii în aplicare la nivel mondial și îmbunătățirii continue a securității nucleare. UE a acordat forță juridică obiectivelor cuprinse în Declarația de la Viena privind securitatea nucleară prin intermediul Directivei modificate privind securitatea nucleară, care a intrat în vigoare în 2017. Un element esențial al directivei modificate este introducerea obiectivului de securitate pentru toți operatorii, pentru a preveni accidentele și a evita eliberarea unor cantități semnificative de substanțe radioactive. De asemenea, directiva modificată a adăugat evaluările tematice colegiale la legislația Euratom. Prima evaluare tematică colegială desfășurată la nivel european s-a derulat deja cu succes. Toate statele membre ale UE au transpus noile cerințe în legislațiile lor naționale. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | Pentru a extinde utilizarea în scopuri pașnice a energiei nucleare, UE a alocat, pentru perioada 2014-2020, 325 de milioane EUR pentru a promova securitatea nucleară, radioprotecția și aplicarea unor garanții eficiente și eficace în țările terțe. Comisia Europeană, în colaborare cu AIEA și cu alți parteneri, sprijină punerea în aplicare a planului strategic principal pentru refacerea mediului în Asia Centrală și a promovat, împreună cu Republica Kârgâzstan, desfășurarea unei conferințe internaționale a donatorilor la 8 noiembrie 2018, în cadrul căreia participanții s-au angajat să contribuie cu peste 17 milioane EUR la punerea în aplicare a planului general. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | UE și statele sale membre continuă să susțină cu fermitate programul de cooperare tehnică al AIEA, inclusiv prin contribuții substanțiale la Fondul pentru cooperare tehnică și la Inițiativa privind utilizările în scopuri pașnice. UE și statele sale membre se clasează pe locul al doilea din punctul de vedere al contribuțiilor la Programul de cooperare tehnică, care constituie un instrument important pentru a permite utilizarea în condiții de siguranță și de securitate și în scopuri pașnice a tehnologiei nucleare, precum și îndeplinirea obiectivelor Agendei 2030 pentru dezvoltare durabilă. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | UE și AIEA organizează o reuniune anuală la nivel de înalți funcționari pentru a analiza și a planifica cooperarea lor într-o gamă largă de domenii. Ultima reuniune a fost găzduită de AIEA la 8 februarie 2018, la Viena. Discuțiile s-au axat pe consolidarea colaborării privind securitatea, siguranța și garanțiile nucleare, dezvoltarea durabilă, energia nucleară, cercetarea și sporirea inovării. Înaltul Reprezentant al UE pentru afaceri externe și politica de securitate și vicepreședinte al Comisiei (ÎR/VP) a purtat discuții cu directorul general al AIEA în luna martie. |

Tratatul de interzicere totală a experiențelor nucleare

| 18. | Intrarea rapidă în vigoare și universalitatea CTBT constituie obiective importante ale Strategiei UE împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă. Toate statele membre ale UE și-au demonstrat angajamentul față de tratat prin ratificarea acestuia și prin aplicarea obligațiilor sale de bază. CTBT este o măsură puternică de consolidare a încrederii și a securității. UE promovează constant valoarea adăugată și beneficiile tratatului pentru pace, securitate și dezarmare și neproliferare, inclusiv în aplicațiile sale civile, și sprijină din punct de vedere financiar Comisia Pregătitoare a Organizației CTBT (CTBTO). |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | La 26 februarie 2018, Consiliul a adoptat Decizia (PESC) 2018/298 a Consiliului (2) privind susținerea de către Uniune a activităților Comisiei Pregătitoare a CTBTO în vederea consolidării capacităților acesteia de monitorizare și verificare. Valoarea financiară de peste 4,5 milioane EUR pe o perioadă de doi ani este destinată pentru: stațiile seismice auxiliare certificate care fac parte din Sistemul internațional de monitorizare al CTBTO; dezvoltarea sistemelor de prelevare a gazelor nobile prin studiul de materiale pentru o mai bună absorbție a xenonului; continuarea campaniilor de măsurare a fondului de xenon radioactiv în diferite regiuni ale lumii; sistemul de predicție de ansamblu pentru a cuantifica incertitudinile și nivelul de încredere în simulările modelării transportului atmosferic (ATM); evaluarea științifică a creșterii rezoluției pentru instrumentele ATM; dezvoltarea de noi programe software; consolidarea detectării și tratării gazelor nobile în legătură cu inspecțiile la fața locului; consolidarea capacităților de integrare și de tratare automată în cadrul unui Centru național modular de date (NDC-in-a-Box) seismice, hidroacustice și de infrasunete (SHI); activități de informare și de consolidare a capacităților integrate adresate statelor semnatare și nesemnatare. UE și statele sale membre contribuie totodată la menținerea și consolidarea regimului de verificare al CTBT, furnizând asistență tehnică și consultanță în cadrul Grupului de lucru B al CTBTO, precum și în cadrul altor ateliere și seminare. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | La invitația Grupului prietenilor CTBT, din care fac parte Australia, Canada, Finlanda, Germania, Japonia și Țările de Jos, ÎR/VP al UE a participat la cea de a noua reuniune ministerială, desfășurată la New York la 27 septembrie 2018, unde a prezentat o declarație convenită la nivelul UE. În numele ÎR/VP, trimisul special al SEAE pentru dezarmare și neproliferare a participat, împreună cu secretarul executiv al CTBTO și cu ministrul afacerilor externe belgian, la conferința la nivel înalt intitulată „Către o lume fără teste nucleare: respectarea promisiunii” și organizată de Belgia la 22 mai 2018. Secretarul executiv al CTBTO, dr. Lassina Zerbo, a ținut discursul principal în cadrul evenimentului găzduit de viceprim-ministrul și ministrul belgian al afacerilor externe și europene, Didier Reynders. În mai 2018, UE a participat la un simpozion al CTBTO pe tema științei și a diplomației. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | UE profită de orice ocazie pentru a susține ratificarea CTBT în cadrul forurilor internaționale și al reuniunilor cu țări care nu au semnat sau ratificat încă tratatul și continuă să utilizeze mijloace diplomatice pentru a promova intrarea în vigoare a CTBT în aceste țări. Experiența și fondurile UE pot ajuta țările care nu dispun de resursele necesare să facă față imperativelor legate de punerea în aplicare a dispozițiilor din tratat. UE a salutat cu căldură ratificarea acestuia de către Thailanda în 2018. Chestiunea CTBT a fost evocată la nivel bilateral în dialogurile politice ale UE și dialogurile UE pe tema neproliferării și dezarmării cu India, Pakistanul și SUA. |

Inițiative legate de siguranța nucleară

| 22. | În 2018, UE a decis să sprijine și prin mijloace financiare unul dintre elementele-cheie ale arhitecturii mondiale în materie de securitate nucleară și de combatere a terorismului, și anume Convenția internațională privind reprimarea actelor de terorism nuclear (ICSANT). Acest sprijin este menit să sporească numărul aderărilor la ICSANT, să sensibilizeze factorii de decizie și de elaborare a politicilor de la nivel național, precum și să consolideze capacitățile: contribuirea la îmbunătățirea legislației naționale și consolidarea capacităților părților interesate de la nivel național, inclusiv ale funcționarilor din domeniul justiției penale în ceea ce privește anchetarea, urmărirea penală și judecarea cazurilor de terorism nuclear. La 10 decembrie, Consiliul a adoptat Decizia (PESC) 2018/1939 a Consiliului (3) privind sprijinul Uniunii pentru universalizarea și punerea în aplicare efectivă a ICSANT. UE va furniza aproape cinci milioane de euro pentru o perioadă de trei ani Biroului Națiunilor Unite pentru Droguri și Criminalitate și Biroului ONU pentru Combaterea Terorismului. Decizia Consiliului va promova universalizarea și punerea în aplicare efectivă a ICSANT prin dezvoltarea și întreținerea unui site web protejat cu parolă, cuprinzând toate resursele privind ICSANT, inclusiv exemple de legislație națională; dezvoltarea unui modul de e-learning privind ICSANT, care va fi tradus în cel puțin patru limbi oficiale ale ONU; furnizarea de asistență legislativă relevantă; consolidarea capacităților părților interesate relevante, printre care și funcționari din domeniul justiției penale care ar putea fi implicați în anchetarea, urmărirea penală și judecarea cazurilor care implică materiale nucleare și alte materiale radioactive care fac obiectul ICSANT; organizarea de ateliere la nivel mondial și regional și de vizite la nivel de țară, precum și prin colectarea și diseminarea bunelor practici. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | UE a continuat să sprijine Inițiativa globală pentru combaterea terorismului nuclear (GICNT) și misiunea acesteia de a consolida capacitatea globală de a preveni și detecta terorismul nuclear, precum și de a reacționa la acesta. UE a participat la reuniunea Grupului de punere în aplicare și de evaluare a GICNT (11-12 iunie 2018), găzduită de Finlanda; Grupul de lucru pentru detectarea nucleară a găzduit o reuniune de două zile a experților, la Bilthoven, în Țările de Jos, în perioada 25-26 ianuarie 2018. UE și statele sale membre sunt activ implicate în lucrările Grupului de punere în aplicare și de evaluare a GICNT, în toate domeniile: detectare nucleară, criminalistică nucleară, precum și răspuns și atenuare. UE a contribuit și contribuie activ la fondul tuturor documentelor de referință ale grupurilor de lucru ale Grupului de punere în aplicare și evaluare. Uniunea Europeană și statele sale membre organizează evenimente menite să contribuie la stimularea conștientizării și a implicării internaționale în ceea ce privește securitatea nucleară și participă la aceste evenimente, cum ar fi Blue Lion: atelier privind redresarea și gestionarea consecințelor și reuniune a experților, găzduite de Regatul Unit în perioada 6-8 februarie 2018; Fierce Falcon: atelier privind securitatea surselor radiologice și reacția în caz de furt, organizat de Ungaria în cooperare cu GICNT și cu Departamentul pentru energie al SUA, în perioada 10-12 aprilie 2018; și Sentinel II: atelier consacrat dezvoltării de programe naționale de exerciții în materie de securitate nucleară, găzduit de Lituania în colaborare cu Regatul Unit, în perioada 9-11 octombrie 2018. |

| 24. | Centrul de formare al UE în domeniul siguranței nucleare (EUSECTRA) în vederea detectării actelor ilicite cu materiale nucleare și cu alte materiale radioactive și a răspunsului la acestea este pe deplin operațional începând din 2013 în beneficiul statelor membre ale Uniunii Europene și al țărilor partenere, printre care mai mulți membri ai GICNT. Centrul este administrat de Centrul Comun de Cercetare (JRC) al Comisiei Europene în cadrul siturilor din Karlsruhe (Germania) și Ispra (Italia), în strânsă cooperare cu alte inițiative internaționale promovate de Agenția Internațională pentru Energie Atomică și mai multe țări partenere ale GICNT. Centrul este utilizat de asemenea pentru exerciții practice, mai ales în legătură cu combaterea traficului cu materiale nucleare. EUSECTRA este activ în ceea ce privește satisfacerea nevoilor de formare ale statelor membre ale UE și ale partenerilor UE, inclusiv prin oferirea de cursuri coordonate deosebit de apreciate pentru delegații statelor membre în domeniul vamal și al asigurării respectării legii; acestea au fost deja implementate și planificate pentru perioada 2019-2021 (în colaborare directă cu DG HOME și DG TAXUD din cadrul Comisiei Europene); de asemenea, EUSECTRA oferă o evaluare a performanței echipamentelor, la cererea statelor membre. |

| 25. | Comisia Europeană și statele membre ale UE și-au continuat activitățile în domeniul criminalisticii nucleare privind caracterizarea de bază a materialelor nucleare interceptate, utilizând o anchetă criminalistică nucleară avansată la situl JRC din Karlsruhe (Germania). În ansamblu, au fost examinate materialele nucleare detectate și puse sub sechestru în peste 50 de incidente, oferindu-se astfel sprijin autorităților competente din statele membre ale UE și din afara acesteia. |

Inițiative legate de verificarea nucleară

| 26. | UE și statele sale membre au sprijinit rezoluția Adunării Generale a ONU din 2016 privind verificarea dezarmării nucleare în ceea ce privește instituirea unui grup de experți guvernamentali care să analizeze rolul verificării pentru realizarea de progrese pe calea dezarmării nucleare și decizia subsecventă din 2017 a Comisiei I de a menține punctul respectiv pe agendă. UE sprijină lucrările desfășurate în cadrul unor parteneriate mai largi și al unor modalități de cooperare privind verificarea și a participat la activitatea Parteneriatului internațional pentru verificarea dezarmării nucleare (IPNDV) de la inaugurarea acestuia din 2015. UE și-a continuat implicarea activă în cadrul etapei II a IPNDV cu UE (SEAE, Centrul Comun de Cercetare al Comisiei Europene și DG ENER), participând la reuniunile grupurilor de lucru de la Stockholm din 26-28 martie 2018 și de la Seoul din 10-12 iulie, precum și la reuniunea plenară derulată la Londra în perioada 3-7 decembrie. Sprijinul de fond pentru grupul de experți guvernamentali privind verificarea dezarmării nucleare și Conferința din 2020 de revizuire a Tratatului de neproliferare nucleară sunt definite drept obiective principale. |

Chestiuni regionale

| 27. | Eforturile diplomatice în curs cu Republica Populară Democrată Coreeană (RPDC) reprezintă o evoluție pozitivă care contribuie la atenuarea tensiunilor din Peninsula Coreeană. UE îndeamnă RPDC să se implice în mod serios în negocierile ulterioare, să își abandoneze programele nucleare, de arme de distrugere în masă și de rachete balistice într-un mod complet, verificabil și ireversibil, să înceteze imediat orice activitate conexă și să revină la Tratatul de neproliferare nucleară și la garanțiile AIEA la o dată apropiată, precum și să semneze și să ratifice fără întârziere Tratatul de interzicere totală a experiențelor nucleare. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | Atât timp cât RPDC nu va lua măsuri concrete în direcția denuclearizării, UE va continua să aplice cu strictețe sancțiunile existente și să încurajeze toate statele membre să procedeze în același mod. UE a transpus toate rezoluțiile CSONU referitoare la RPDC și a introdus, în plus, propriul său regim autonom de sancțiuni îndreptate împotriva RPDC, care completează și consolidează măsurile restrictive ale ONU. Numărul total al persoanelor și entităților înscrise pe listă în mod autonom de UE este de 59. UE a înghețat activele a nouă entități, ca parte a propriului regim de sancțiuni. În plus, UE s-a implicat în activități diplomatice extinse de informare pentru a sublinia necesitatea punerii în aplicare ferme a tuturor rezoluțiilor relevante ale Consiliului de Securitate al ONU de către toate statele membre ale ONU. Atunci când este necesar, UE este pregătită să ofere sprijin concret pentru consolidarea capacităților în privința aplicării de sancțiuni. |

Conferința pentru Dezarmare (CD)/Tratatul de interzicere a producerii de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau alte dispozitive explozive nucleare

| 29. | UE își menține unitatea și implicarea față de dezarmarea nucleară și controlul armelor nucleare verificabile și întemeiate pe tratate și subliniază necesitatea de a se reînnoi eforturile multilaterale și de a se reactiva organele multilaterale de negociere, în special Conferința pentru Dezarmare (CD). UE salută activitatea de fond realizată, în conformitate cu mandatul convenit al organelor subsidiare, pentru a se ajunge la o înțelegere cu privire la domeniile comune, pentru a se aprofunda discuțiile tehnice și a se extinde domeniile de acord, precum și pentru a se lua măsuri eficace, incluzând instrumente juridice de negociere și adoptarea a patru rapoarte de fond care ar putea oferi o bază solidă care să fie valorificată în 2019. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | Prioritatea de durată a UE în cadrul Conferinței pentru Dezarmare este începerea imediată a negocierilor referitoare la un tratat de interzicere a producerii de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau alte dispozitive explozive nucleare (FMCT), pe baza documentului CD/1299 și a mandatului inclus în acesta. UE felicită Canada pentru că a procedat astfel încât lucrările Grupului de experți la nivel înalt însărcinat cu pregătirea FMCT să ajungă la un rezultat consensual și salută procesul consultativ cuprinzător instituit prin rezoluția 71/259 a Adunării Generale pentru a ține seama de opiniile tuturor membrilor ONU. UE acordă un sprijin financiar semnificativ Biroului pentru probleme de dezarmare al ONU (ODA al ONU) pentru a facilita participarea statelor din Africa, Asia, America Latină și zona Caraibilor la consultările legate de FMCT și la alte activități. UE face apel la toți membrii CD să înceapă neîntârziat negocierile privind un FMCT și să demareze activitățile privind celelalte chestiuni de pe ordinea de zi. UE încurajează toate țările care dețin arme nucleare să declare și să susțină un moratoriu imediat privind producerea de material fisil pentru arme nucleare sau alte dispozitive explozive nucleare, dacă nu au făcut deja acest lucru. Cele două state europene care dețin arme nucleare au declarat moratorii în această privință și au dezafectat sau au convertit astfel de instalații. |

ARMELE CHIMICE

| 31. | UE a continuat să sprijine Organizația pentru Interzicerea Armelor Chimice (OIAC) pentru a asigura punerea în aplicare deplină și eficace a Convenției privind armele chimice (CWC) și aderarea universală la aceasta. La 16 aprilie 2018, Consiliul a adoptat concluzii care reafirmă sprijinul ferm al UE pentru dezarmarea și neproliferarea în domeniul chimic și care stabilesc pozițiile UE în vederea celei de a patra sesiuni speciale a Conferinței statelor părți pentru examinarea funcționării CWC, desfășurată în perioada 21-30 noiembrie 2018. În acest cadru, UE s-a implicat activ și constructiv în pregătirea și activitatea celei de a patra conferințe de examinare a CWC, cu scopul de a asigura relevanța și de a spori eficacitatea și capacitatea convenției, inclusiv de a aborda provocările actuale și viitoare. Deși nu s-a elaborat un document consensual privind rezultatul final al conferinței de revizuire, UE și-a menținut angajamentul de a sprijini cu fermitate mandatul și activitatea OIAC. În acest sens, UE a salutat deciziile privind programul și bugetul OIAC pentru 2019, care oferă o bază fermă și solidă Secretariatului tehnic al OIAC pentru a face față multiplelor sarcini și provocări cu care se va confrunta. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | Mai mult decât atât, UE a sprijinit cu fermitate inițiativa de a organiza sesiunea specială a Conferinței statelor părți la CWC (CSP) în perioada 26-27 iunie 2018, pentru a menține și a garanta CWC și interdicția globală a utilizării armelor chimice. Conferința a constituit răspunsul adecvat la utilizarea repetată a acestui tip de arme începând cu 2012 în Siria, Irak, Malaysia și Regatul Unit al Marii Britanii și Irlandei de Nord. Prin urmare, UE a salutat adoptarea Deciziei C-SS-4/DEC.3 a OIAC din 27 iunie 2018 intitulată „Abordarea amenințării pe care o constituie armele chimice”. În concluziile sale din 28 iunie, Consiliul European a precizat că UE se angajează să sprijine punerea în aplicare a Deciziei conferinței speciale. În acest context, UE a întreprins un demers pe lângă numeroase state părți la CWC, solicitându-le să aibă o abordare constructivă față de punerea în aplicare a Deciziei OIAC și să își ofere sprijinul pentru succesul celei de a patra conferințe de examinare a CWC. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | La 26 februarie 2018, Consiliul a adoptat Decizia (PESC) 2018/294 (4), care extinde durata Deciziei (PESC) 2015/259 a Consiliului (5) până la sfârșitul anului 2018 pentru a permite punerea completă în aplicare a activităților după data expirării celei de a doua decizii menționate. În paralel, Consiliul a discutat despre un nou proiect de decizie a Consiliului, al șaptelea consecutiv, în sprijinul OIAC, pentru a fi adoptat la începutul anului 2019. Noua decizie va extinde sprijinul acordat de UE pentru activitățile principale ale OIAC (cum ar fi punerea în aplicare la nivel național, cooperarea internațională, universalizarea, programul Africa) în perioada 2019-2022. Acesta va reprezenta în același timp o contribuție substanțială la transformarea Laboratorului OIAC în Centrul pentru Chimie și Tehnologie și la punerea în aplicare a deciziei OIAC intitulate „Abordarea amenințării pe care o constituie armele chimice”. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | UE și-a continuat sprijinul ferm pentru activitatea misiunii OIAC de stabilire a faptelor și a echipei de evaluare a declarațiilor în ceea ce privește investigarea relatărilor privind utilizarea armelor chimice în Siria și încercarea de a verifica declarația Siriei. În acest context, Consiliul a adoptat, la 10 decembrie 2018, Decizia (PESC) 2018/1943 (6) de prelungire cu douăsprezece luni a perioadei de punere în aplicare a Deciziei (PESC) 2017/2303 (7) pentru furnizarea de imagini prin satelit în sprijinul operațiilor OIAC derulate în Siria. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | În octombrie 2018, UE a adoptat un nou regim de măsuri restrictive pentru a aborda utilizarea și proliferarea armelor chimice, prin Decizia (PESC) 2018/1544 a Consiliului (8) și Regulamentul (UE) 2018/1542 al Consiliului (9). |

ARMELE BIOLOGICE

| 36. | În urma acordului privind un program de lucru între sesiuni obținut în cadrul reuniunii statelor părți la Convenția privind interzicerea armelor biologice și toxice (BTWC), desfășurată în perioada 4-8 decembrie 2017, UE și-a continuat sprijinul politic și financiar ferm pentru punerea în aplicare deplină și efectivă a convenției și pentru universalizarea acesteia, inclusiv prin implementarea cuprinzătoare de către Unitatea de sprijin pentru punerea în aplicare a BTWC a celui de al patrulea program de asistență al UE stabilit în Decizia (PESC) 2016/51 a Consiliului (10). Au fost organizate două ateliere la nivel regional pentru sprijinirea aderării universale la convenție în Africa și patru ateliere la nivel regional pentru stimularea dialogului în domeniul științei și al tehnologiei în țările din America Latină, Asia, Africa Subsahariană, Orientul Mijlociu și Africa de Nord. Au avut loc alte șapte ateliere și cursuri de formare în țările care beneficiază de programe de asistență extinsă privind punerea în aplicare la nivel național a convenției. |
| --- | --- |

36.

| 37. | De asemenea, UE s-a implicat în mod activ și constructiv în discuțiile din cursul reuniunii statelor părți la convenție, desfășurată în perioada 4-7 decembrie 2018. Reafirmându-și sprijinul ferm pentru BTWC drept pilon esențial al sistemului internațional bazat pe norme, UE și-a exprimat totuși profunda îngrijorare față de situația financiară critică a convenției și a adresat un îndemn pentru măsuri urgente menite să asigure stabilitatea financiară și punerea în aplicare corespunzătoare a programului între sesiuni. UE a salutat demararea procesului dintre sesiuni și discuțiile tehnice și de fond derulate în cursul reuniunilor BTWC la nivel de experți desfășurate în perioada 7-16 august 2018 și a sprijinit inițierea de acțiuni de monitorizare de către reuniunea statelor părți. Prin urmare, este încurajator că în cadrul reuniunii statelor părți la BTWC desfășurată în decembrie s-a putut ajunge la un consens asupra adoptării de măsuri menite să contribuie la asigurarea stabilității și a previzibilității financiare pe parcursul anului următor. Cu toate acestea, UE va monitoriza îndeaproape situația financiară a BTWC, care va fi reexaminată în cadrul reuniunii statelor părți din 2019. În același timp, este regretabil că nu s-a ajuns la niciun consens asupra unor chestiuni de fond care să reflecte rezultatele obținute în cadrul reuniunii BTWC la nivel de experți desfășurată în august 2018. În 2018, UE a sprijinit lucrările reuniunilor BTWC prin prezentarea unui document de lucru și prin organizarea mai multor evenimente conexe. |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | Începând din 2006, UE a furnizat sprijin material pentru activitățile de bază ale BTWC prin patru programe de asistență consecutive. În ianuarie 2019, Consiliul a adoptat o a cincea decizie în sprijinul BTWC pentru perioada 2019-2022. Astfel, valoarea financiară totală a sprijinului UE în favoarea BTWC va crește până la aproximativ 10 milioane EUR. Este inclusă, de asemenea, finanțarea pentru UNSGM, ceea ce permite ODA al ONU să trimită experții de pe lista experților calificați la cursuri de formare organizate de statele membre. |

RACHETE BALISTICE

Codul de conduită de la Haga

| 39. | Codul de conduită de la Haga împotriva proliferării rachetelor balistice (HCoC) este rezultatul eforturilor comunității internaționale de a reglementa domeniul rachetelor balistice capabile să transporte arme de distrugere în masă. HCoC este singurul instrument multilateral de consolidare a transparenței și a încrederii în legătură cu proliferarea rachetelor balistice. UE a susținut ferm codul încă de la începuturile sale. Toate statele membre ale UE au aderat la acesta. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Aderând la HCoC, membrii se angajează în mod voluntar din punct de vedere politic să ofere notificări prealabile lansării privind lansări de rachete balistice și de vehicule de lansare spațială și zboruri de încercare. Țările semnatare se angajează, de asemenea, să depună o declarație anuală a politicilor țărilor lor privind rachetele balistice și vehiculele de lansare spațială. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | De la semnarea și intrarea în vigoare a HCoC cu caracter obligatoriu din punct de vedere politic în noiembrie 2002 la Haga, în Țările de Jos, numărul de semnatari a crescut de la 93 la 139. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | UE joacă un rol de frunte în promovarea și susținerea universalității, a punerii în aplicare depline și a unei funcționări consolidate, acestea fiind cele trei obiective principale ale codului. Timp de peste un deceniu, Consiliul UE a adoptat, în cadrul PESC, o serie de decizii/acțiuni comune care au furnizat mijloacele pentru sprijinirea în mod constant de către UE a Codului de conduită de la Haga și a neproliferării rachetelor balistice în general. Prin intermediul acestor decizii ale Consiliului, UE finanțează activități de informare cu privire la HCoC, printre care se numără evenimente colaterale, documente de cercetare, reuniuni ale experților și seminare regionale de sensibilizare. Aceste activitățile sunt desfășurate de Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique, cu sediul la Paris, și implică de obicei și președinția prin rotație a HCoC. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Prin Decizia (PESC) 2017/2370 a Consiliului (11) din 18 decembrie 2017, UE continuă să promoveze aderarea la cod și, în cele din urmă, universalitatea acestuia; să susțină punerea în aplicare deplină a codului; să promoveze dialogul între statele semnatare și cele nesemnatare, cu scopul de a contribui la consolidarea încrederii și a transparenței, de a încuraja o atitudine reținută și de a crea o mai mare stabilitate și securitate pentru toți; să îmbunătățească vizibilitatea codului, precum și sensibilizarea publicului cu privire la riscurile și amenințările reprezentate de proliferarea rachetelor balistice; și să exploreze, în special prin intermediul studiilor academice, posibilitățile de a consolida codul și de a promova cooperarea dintre acesta și alte instrumente multilaterale relevante. |

Regimul de control al tehnologiei rachetelor

| 44. | Regimul de control al tehnologiei rachetelor (MTCR) este o înțelegere politică informală între țările care urmăresc să limiteze proliferarea rachetelor și a tehnologiei rachetelor, inclusiv prin clasificarea celor general acceptate ca putând fi vectori ai ADM. Orientările MTCR și listele de control constituie un criteriu de referință privind bunele practici la nivel internațional pentru controlul exporturilor de produse și tehnologii aferente rachetelor. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | UE sprijină adoptarea unei declarații publice mai ferme care să reflecte preocupările internaționale legate de lansările de rachete balistice și dezvoltarea semnificativă a tehnologiei rachetelor de către Iran și RPDC. O chestiune importantă pentru UE în contextul MTCR rămâne blocarea aderării la acest regim a Croației, Ciprului, Estoniei, Letoniei, Lituaniei, României, Slovaciei și Sloveniei. În plus, lipsa prelungită a președinției regimului constituie o chestiune deosebit de îngrijorătoare. |

REZOLUȚIA 1540 (2004) A CONSILIULUI DE SECURITATE AL ORGANIZAȚIEI NAȚIUNILOR UNITE ȘI ATENUAREA RISCURILOR CBRN

| 46. | Rezoluția 1540 (2004) a Consiliului de Securitate al ONU continuă să fie un pilon central al arhitecturii internaționale de neproliferare. Acesta este primul instrument internațional care abordează în mod integrat și cuprinzător armele de distrugere în masă, vectorii acestora și materialele conexe. RCSONU 1540 (2004) stabilește obligații pentru toate țările. Acestea au drept obiectiv să prevină și să descurajeze accesul actorilor nestatali la aceste arme și materiale conexe. Adoptată în temeiul capitolului VII din Carta Organizației Națiunilor Unite, rezoluția solicită tuturor țărilor să adopte legislația necesară care să împiedice actorii nestatali să obțină arme nucleare, chimice sau biologice și să instituie controale interne adecvate pentru materialele conexe pentru a preveni traficul ilicit cu acestea. Procesul de revizuire aprofundată a RCSONU 1540 efectuat în 2016 a reafirmat rolul său central, importanța și autoritatea ei, astfel cum se reflectă în RCSONU 2325. |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | Pentru a contribui la punerea în aplicare a rezultatului revizuirii aprofundate din 2016 și pentru a sprijini punerea deplină în aplicare a RCSONU 1540, la 11 mai 2017 Consiliul European a adoptat Decizia (PESC) 2017/809 a Consiliului (12) în sprijinul punerii în aplicare a Rezoluției 1540 (2004) a Consiliului de Securitate al Organizației Națiunilor Unite cu privire la neproliferarea armelor de distrugere în masă și a vectorilor acestora. Decizia Consiliului vizează o perioadă de 36 de luni și este pusă în aplicare de Biroul pentru probleme de dezarmare al ONU din New York, care a subcontractat o parte a punerii în aplicare către OSCE, cu sediul la Viena. UE împărtășește obiectivele de sprijinire a țărilor în identificarea asistenței tehnice specifice, de sensibilizare cu privire la programele relevante de asistență tehnică, precum și de intensificare a cooperării cu organizațiile internaționale și regionale pentru a sprijini eforturile de consolidare a capacităților naționale. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | Inițiativa UE privind centrele de excelență (CoE) în domeniul atenuării riscurilor CBRN reprezintă un program global de consolidare a capacităților, care reunește 61 de țări partenere grupate în jurul a 8 secretariate regionale, amplasate în următoarele regiuni: Fațada atlantică africană; Asia Centrală; Africa de Vest și Centrală; Țările Consiliului de Cooperare al Golfului; Orientul Mijlociu; Africa de Nord și Sahel; Asia de Sud-Est; Europa de Sud-Est și de Est. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | Inițiativa CoE CRBN este finanțată în cadrul Instrumentului care contribuie la stabilitate și pace (IcSP) și vizează atenuarea riscurilor legate de materialele CBRN, consolidarea gradului de pregătire al țărilor partenere și stimularea unei culturi și guvernanțe în materie de securitate. Țările participante sunt sprijinite în eforturile lor de a institui, pe bază de voluntariat și urmând o abordare ascendentă regională, structuri de coordonare și de guvernanță la nivel național și regional. Aceste platforme dezvoltă propuneri de politici și capacități bazate pe evaluări ale nevoilor specifice și pe planuri naționale de acțiune. Ele sunt sprijinite prin mai multe proiecte de cooperare la nivel regional, finanțate în temeiul inițiativei și deschise pentru alte instrumente de finanțare. Din 2010 au fost finanțate 66 de proiecte regionale. Bugetul inițiativei pentru perioada de 10 ani începând din 2010 se ridică la 250 de milioane EUR. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | Rețeaua de centre de excelență este în prezent bine dezvoltată și a permis UE să desfășoare exerciții de instruire transfrontaliere, teoretice și pe teren, cu privire la aspecte precum protecția civilă, intervenția în caz de incidente, biosecuritatea și gestionarea deșeurilor în cadrul proiectelor CoE, pentru a spori vizibilitatea și a evalua concret impactul acestora. În plus, inițiativa este suficient de matură pentru a sprijini acțiuni suplimentare vizând abordarea aspectelor guvernanței în materie de securitate legate de criminalitatea informatică, terorism, infrastructurile critice, medicamentele falsificate, amenințările hibride și explozivi, precum și pentru a dezvolta în continuare cooperarea privind criminalistica nucleară, controlul la frontiere și controlul exporturilor de produse cu dublă utilizare. Modelul CoE a fost salutat și de Curtea de Conturi Europeană (13) și ulterior de concluziile Consiliului din 26 octombrie 2015 (14). |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | În octombrie 2017, Comisia a prezentat – ca parte a unui pachet mai amplu de combatere a terorismului – un Plan de acțiune privind îmbunătățirea nivelului de pregătire împotriva riscurilor de siguranță chimică, biologică, radiologică și nucleară. Noul plan de acțiune, care se bazează pe realizările Planului de acțiune al UE în domeniul CBRN pentru 2010-2015, propune o gamă largă de măsuri pentru a consolida nivelul de pregătire, reziliența și coordonarea la nivelul UE. Acesta propune crearea unei arhitecturi concentrate mai intens asupra securității în domeniul CBRN la nivelul UE, subliniind nevoia de a utiliza mai bine resursele existente și de a pune în comun expertiza de care se dispune. Planul de acțiune solicită totodată consolidarea nivelului de pregătire și de reacție în domeniul CBRN la nivelul UE, prin formare și exerciții transfrontaliere și transsectoriale. El subliniază necesitatea de a include, acolo unde este relevant, autoritățile de frontieră și vamale și partenerii militari. Planul de acțiune subliniază totodată importanța unor relații strânse între activitățile interne și externe legate de securitatea CBRN, precum și a cooperării cu organizații multilaterale specializate precum AIEA, OIAC sau Interpol. Punerea în aplicare a planului de acțiune va fi sprijinită financiar prin intermediul Fondului pentru securitate internă - Poliție. |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | Planul de acțiune în domeniul CBRN a primit sprijin științific și tehnic dintr-o serie de proiecte de cercetare finanțate prin programul „O societate sigură” în cadrul celui de al șaptelea program-cadru. Cercetarea include întregul ciclu de gestionare a crizelor, de la prevenire la redresare. Activitățile de identificare a necesităților de standardizare ar putea duce la standarde „European Norms”. Programul Orizont 2020 va consolida activitățile curente din cadrul cercetării CBRN prin teme bine definite. |

GRUPURI DE REFLECȚIE

| 53. | Pe baza Deciziei 2010/430/PESC a Consiliului (15) din 26 iulie 2010, punerea în aplicare a Strategiei UE împotriva proliferării armelor de distrugere în masă a fost sprijinită în mod activ de Consorțiul UE pentru neproliferare, care și-a început activitatea în ianuarie 2011. La 26 februarie 2018, Consiliul a adoptat Decizia (PESC) 2018/299 (16) care se extinde și mai mult sprijinul acordat de UE pentru activitățile consorțiului pentru perioada 2018-2021, pe baza realizărilor obținute până în momentul respectiv și cu adăugarea unor noi proiecte. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | 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 stimulează dialogul dintre diferitele părți interesate. Activitățile sale au contribuit la sensibilizarea în legătură cu provocările reprezentate de armele de distrugere în masă și de armele convenționale. Are o rețea extinsă de peste 70 de grupuri de reflecție în întreaga Europă. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | Cea de a șaptea Conferință a UE pentru neproliferare și dezarmare, organizată de Consorțiul UE pentru neproliferare, a avut loc în perioada 18-19 decembrie 2018 la Bruxelles. |

55.

CONTROLUL EXPORTURILOR

| 56. | În 2018, UE a continuat să își actualizeze periodic reglementările pentru a reflecta evoluțiile din cadrul regimurilor multilaterale de control al exporturilor. Astfel, Comisia Europeană a adoptat, la 10 octombrie 2018 (17), un Regulament delegat de actualizare a listei de control a UE în conformitate cu deciziile luate în cadrul regimurilor multilaterale de control al exporturilor în 2017 și a introdus modificări, de exemplu în ceea privește controlul elementelor genetice și al organismelor modificate genetic, sistemele și echipamentele pentru măsurare sau control dimensional, elementele de energie ridicată, programele software de intruziune și lansatoarele de vehicule spațiale. |
| --- | --- |

| 57. | Grupul de coordonare pentru produse cu dublă utilizare a continuat să sprijine punerea în aplicare efectivă și coerentă a controalelor exporturilor în UE. Au fost introduse noi funcționalități în „sistemul electronic pentru produse cu dublă utilizare”, care au îmbunătățit schimburile tehnice și de informații în cadrul UE. UE a inițiat un proces de definire a unor orientări privind conformitatea industriei și a desfășurat o consultare publică cu privire la acest subiect în octombrie-noiembrie 2018. De asemenea, UE a lansat un proiect de „acordare de licențe electronice”, pentru a sprijini utilizarea sistemelor electronice pentru acordarea licențelor de către autoritățile competente. A fost publicat un raport anual (18) pentru a asigura transparența în ceea ce privește controlul exporturilor și activitățile de acordare de licențe, iar la 13 decembrie 2018 a fost organizat un forum privind controlul exporturilor, care a întrunit părți interesate din toate statele membre, din industrie și din societatea civilă (19). |

Au fost organizate seminare comune UE-SUA pentru a se defini indicatori de impact comuni și pentru a se coordona asistența pe teren. În 2018, UE a organizat cel de al doilea dialog privind guvernanța controlului exporturilor, conferință care a reunit cele patru regimuri de control al exporturilor și organizațiile și țările partenere. În fiecare an se organizează o universitate de vară inter pares a UE pentru partenerii din cadrul programelor UE de informare privind controlul exporturilor. Portalul inter pares al UE (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) a continuat să servească drept platformă pentru toate programele de informare ale UE privind controlul exporturilor de produse militare și cu dublă utilizare, cu scopul de a personaliza schimbul de informații cu țările partenere ale UE. Programul este finanțat în temeiul Instrumentului care contribuie la stabilitate și pace. |

| 63. | În iunie, UE a participat cu succes la dezbaterea la nivel înalt UNISPACE + 50 a COPUOS desfășurată la Viena. În declarația sa, UE a subliniat importanța măsurilor de asigurare a transparenței și de consolidare a încrederii și a promovării principiilor unui comportament responsabil în spațiul cosmic, în cadrul Organizației Națiunilor Unite. UE a subliniat valoarea pe care ar avea-o adoptarea unui instrument fără caracter juridic obligatoriu drept modalitate de realizare a acestor obiective. UE și statele sale membre au promovat de asemenea siguranța și securitatea în spațiu în cadrul Grupului experților guvernamentali privind prevenirea unei curse a înarmărilor în spațiul cosmic, al Conferinței pentru dezarmare, inclusiv al Organismului auxiliar 3 al acesteia, al Comisiei ONU pentru dezarmare și al Adunării Generale a ONU. UE va depune eforturi pentru a asigura că concluziile Consiliului din decembrie 2017 și din februarie 2018 cu privire la UNISPACE + 50 se reflectă în agenda „Spațiu” pentru 2030 și în planul de punere în aplicare a acesteia, care vor fi prezentate Adunării Generale a ONU în perioada 2020-2021. |
