NUKLEARE SPØRGSMÅL

| 5. | EU er fuldt engageret i at fremme universaliseringen og en fuldstændig, komplet og effektiv gennemførelse af traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben (NPT), tidlig ikrafttrædelse af traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger (CTBT) og etablering af en zone uden masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler i Mellemøsten. Indledning og hurtig afslutning af forhandlingerne på nedrustningskonferencen om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer er fortsat en prioritet for EU. |

Traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben og Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisation

| 6. | NPT-gennemgangscyklussen fortsatte med det andet møde i komitéen til forberedelse af gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 mellem parterne i NPT den 23. april-4. maj 2018 i Genève. EU afgav fire erklæringer: en i den generelle debat og tre i debatterne om henholdsvis nuklear nedrustning, ikkespredning og fredelige formål. Der blev også fremsat en specifik erklæring til støtte for oprettelsen af en zone uden masseødelæggelsesvåben i Mellemøsten. Derudover tilrettelagde EU to sideløbende arrangementer: ét om EU-støtten til traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger og dens organisation og endnu et om fordelene ved NPT med fokus på internationalt samarbejde om radioaktive kilder i hele deres livscyklus. EU fremlagde også arbejdsdokumenter om verifikation af nuklear nedrustning og om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale. Alle EU's medlemsstater støttede erklæringen om imødegåelse af den nukleare udfordring fra Nordkorea. På 73. møde i FN's Generalforsamlings 1. Komité om nedrustning og international sikkerhed bidrog EU til alle relevante debatter, herunder den tematiske debat om kernevåben. |

| 7. | EU-støtten til IAEA's centrale ansvar med hensyn til ikkespredning, kerneenergi, nuklear sikkerhed, nuklear sikring og teknisk samarbejde fortsatte. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | EU bidrager til gennemførelsen af IAEA's nukleare sikkerhedsplan for 2018-2021 gennem Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2016/2383 (1), som finansierer IAEA-aktiviteter med henblik på universalisering af internationale instrumenter vedrørende ikkespredning og nuklear sikkerhed, bistår stater med at etablere den nationale tekniske, videnskabelige og menneskelige kapacitet, der er nødvendig for effektiv og bæredygtig nuklear sikkerhed, styrker forebyggelses-, afslørings- og reaktionskapaciteten og kapaciteten til at beskytte mennesker, ejendom, miljøet og samfundet mod kriminelle eller forsætlige uautoriserede handlinger, der omfatter nukleare eller andre radioaktive materialer uden for reguleringskontrol, forbedrer afsløring og imødegåelse af ulovlig handel med nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer, bidrager til computersikkerhed på det nukleare område, styrker sikkerheden for radioaktive kilder og bringer dem til sikker oplagring i de lande, der har behov for støtte, herunder tilbageførsel til oprindelseslandet eller leverandøren, og forbedrer den fysiske beskyttelse af nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer. |

9.

| 10. | I tilknytning til femte møde på højt embedsmandsplan mellem EU og IAEA (den 15. februar 2017) underskrev JRC og IAEA praktiske ordninger for samarbejde om anvendelser baseret på nuklearvidenskab, der skal tjene til at udvikle fælles aktiviteter og undgå dobbeltarbejde. En af de aktiviteter, der indgår i disse praktiske ordninger, er miljøovervågning af radioaktivitet, målt i hele Europa og en række andre globale lokaliteter i form af gennemsnitlig og maksimal gammadosishastighed for de seneste 24 timer. Disse målinger stammer fra ca. 5 500 målestationer, der drives af kompetente nationale myndigheder i 39 lande, som rapporterer om de seneste radiologiske værdier til den europæiske platform for udveksling af radiologiske data (EURDEP). Anmeldelse af et radiologisk uheld eller nødstilfælde sker gennem netværk til hurtig anmeldelse såsom Ecurie eller Emercon, der drives af henholdsvis Europa-Kommissionen og IAEA, efter høring af de kompetente nationale myndigheder. De aktiviteter, der blev gennemført i 2018, omfatter udvikling af harmoniserede procedurer for nødberedskab og afværgeforanstaltninger, deltagelse i øvelser (ConvEx og Ecurex), støtte til det internationale informationssystem til strålingsovervågning (afprøvning af dataudveksling med lande uden for Europa og udveksling af regionale overvågningsdata). |

10.

| 11. | Den fælles omfattende handlingsplan er et centralt element i den globale arkitektur for nuklear ikkespredning og et resultat af multilateralt diplomati. Den fortsatte fulde og effektive gennemførelse af aftalen er af afgørende betydning for den europæiske sikkerhed. EU bidrager fortsat til gennemførelsen af den fælles omfattende handlingsplan ved at koordinere den fælles kommission og en række arbejdsgrupper på ekspertplan, der er nedsat i medfør af den fælles omfattende handlingsplan. EU støtter også fortsat fuldt ud IAEA's langsigtede mission om at verificere og overvåge Irans atomrelaterede tilsagn. EU har siden 2016 været engageret i gennemførelsen af bilag III til den fælles omfattende handlingsplan, navnlig via projekter til forbedring af den nukleare sikkerhed. 15 mio. EUR er allerede blevet bevilget til civilt nukleart samarbejde med Iran og tre aftalte projekter, der støtter både den iranske nukleare tilsynsmyndighed og operatøren af kernekraftværket ved Bushehr. |

11.

| 12. | Det civile nukleare samarbejde med Iran er en vigtig søjle i den fælles omfattende handlingsplan og hjørnestenen i EU's engagement med Iran. Det bidrager til at få en bedre forståelse af Irans nukleare behov og gradvist opbygge tillid til den fredelige karakter af Irans atomprogram. Samarbejdet mellem EU og Iran i 2018 omfattede hyppige udvekslinger af synspunkter på højt plan om politikspørgsmål med særligt fokus på nuklear forvaltning, en fælles workshop om civilretligt nukleart ansvar og civilretlig nuklear forsikring, projekter, der støtter den iranske nukleare tilsynsmyndigheds bestræbelser på at tilpasse sig internationale standarder for love og administrative bestemmelser, videnskabelige seminarer og tekniske besøg på nukleare anlæg og laboratorier under EU's Fælles Forskningscenter, internationale konferencer med interessenter på det nukleare område, projekter til støtte for moderniseringen af Arakforskningsreaktoren (Khondab) og omdannelse af Fordowanlægget til et center for nukleare spørgsmål, fysik og teknologi. Iran var fortsat EU's vigtigste støttemodtager inden for nuklear sikkerhed. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Generelle aftaler om sikkerhedsforanstaltninger udgør sammen med tillægsprotokoller den nuværende verifikationsstandard, og EU opfordrer fortsat til universel tilslutning hertil snarest muligt. Det tætte samarbejde mellem Euratom og IAEA giver mulighed for effektive og virkningsfulde sikkerhedsforanstaltninger. EU støtter aktivt IAEA's kontrolsystem gennem Europa-Kommissionens program for støtte til sikkerhedskontrol, instrumentet for samarbejde om sikkerhed på det nukleare område og gennem medlemsstaternes støtteprogrammer. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | EU og dets medlemsstater lægger yderst stor vægt på den verdensomspændende gennemførelse og løbende forbedring af den nukleare sikkerhed. EU har givet retskraft til målene i Wienerklæringen om nuklear sikkerhed gennem det ændrede direktiv om nuklear sikkerhed, som trådte i kraft i 2017. Et centralt element i det ændrede direktiv er indførelsen af et sikkerhedsmål for alle operatører for at forebygge ulykker og undgå store udslip af radioaktive stoffer. De ændrede direktiver indførte også tematiske peerevalueringer i Euratomlovgivningen. Den første europæiske tematiske peerevaluering er allerede gennemført med vellykket resultat. Alle EU's medlemsstater har omsat de nye krav i deres nationale lovgivning. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | For at befordre anvendelsen af kerneenergi til fredelige formål har EU i perioden 2014-2020 bevilget 325 mio. EUR til fremme af nuklear sikkerhed, strålingsbeskyttelse og gennemførelse af effektive og virkningsfulde sikkerhedsforanstaltninger i tredjelande. Europa-Kommissionen støtter i samarbejde med IAEA og andre partnere gennemførelsen af den strategiske masterplan for udbedring af miljøskader i Centralasien og bidrog sammen med Den Kirgisiske Republik til afholdelsen af en international donorkonference den 8. november 2018, hvor deltagerne gav tilsagn om mere end 17 mio. EUR til gennemførelsen af masterplanen. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | EU og dets medlemsstater er fortsat stærke tilhængere af IAEA's program for teknisk samarbejde, herunder gennem betydelige bidrag til fonden for teknisk samarbejde og initiativet om anvendelse til fredelige formål. EU og dets medlemsstater er den næststørste bidragyder til programmet for teknisk samarbejde, som er et vigtigt værktøj til at muliggøre en sikker og fredelig udnyttelse af nuklear teknologi og til at opfylde målene i 2030-dagsordenen for bæredygtig udvikling. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | EU og IAEA afholder et årligt møde på højt embedsmandsplan for at gennemgå og planlægge deres brede samarbejde. Det seneste møde blev afholdt af IAEA den 8. februar 2018 i Wien. Drøftelserne fokuserede på en styrkelse af samarbejdet om nuklear sikkerhed, sikring, kontrol, bæredygtig udvikling, kerneenergi, forskning og øget innovation. EU's højtstående repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender og sikkerhedspolitik og næstformand for Kommissionen (HR/NF) førte i marts drøftelser med IAEA's generaldirektør. |

Traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger

| 18. | En hurtig ikrafttrædelse og universel anvendelse af CTBT er vigtige målsætninger i EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben. Alle EU's medlemsstater har vist deres engagement i traktaten ved at ratificere den og ved at gennemføre de grundlæggende forpligtelser deri. CTBT er en stærk tillids- og sikkerhedsskabende foranstaltning. EU fremmer konsekvent traktatens fordele og merværdi med hensyn til fred, sikkerhed, nedrustning og ikkespredning, herunder i dens civile anvendelser, og støtter CTBT-organisationens Forberedende Kommission (CTBTO) finansielt. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | Rådet vedtog den 26. februar 2018 Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/298 (2) om EU-støtte til aktiviteter i Den Forberedende Kommission for CTBTO med henblik på at styrke dens overvågnings- og kontrolkapaciteter. Den finansielle støtte på over 4,5 mio. EUR over en toårig periode går til: certificerede seismiske hjælpestationer, som er en del af CTBTO's internationale overvågningssystem, udvikling af systemer til prøvetagning af ædelgasser gennem undersøgelse af materialer til bedre adsorption af xenon, fortsættelse af kampagnerne for måling af radioaktiv xenonbaggrund i forskellige regioner i verden, et ensembleprognosesystem til kvantificering af usikkerhederne i og tilliden til simuleringer af atmosfærisk transportmodellering (ATM), videnskabelig evaluering af ATM-værktøjers øgede opløsning, udvikling af ny software, forbedret behandling og detektion af ædelgas ved inspektion på stedet, forbedrede automatiske behandlings- og integrationskapaciteter for National Data Centre in-a-box-softwaren (NDC in-a-box) til behandling af seismiske, hydroakustiske og infralydbaserede (SHI) data og integreret outreach og kapacitetsopbygning rettet mod signatarstater og ikkesignatarstater. EU og dets medlemsstater bidrager også til opretholdelsen og styrkelsen af CTBT's kontrolordning gennem tilvejebringelse af teknisk støtte og rådgivning i CTBTO's arbejdsgruppe B og andre workshopper og seminarer. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | Efter indbydelse fra Gruppen af CTBT's Venner, der omfatter Australien, Canada, Finland, Tyskland, Japan og Nederlandene, deltog EU's HR/NF i det niende ministermøde, som blev afholdt den 27. september 2018 i New York, hvor hun fremsatte en vedtaget EU-erklæring. På hendes vegne deltog EU-Udenrigstjenestens særlige udsending for nedrustning og ikkespredning sammen med CTBTO's eksekutivsekretær og HR/NF i konferencen på højt plan »Towards a world without nuclear tests: fulfilling the promise«, der blev afholdt af Belgien den 22. maj 2018. CTBTO's eksekutivsekretær, Dr. Lassina Zerbo, holdt hovedtalen på konferencen, som den belgiske vicepremierminister samt udenrigs- og Europaminister, Didier Reynders, var vært for. EU deltog i maj 2018 i CTBTO's Science and Diplomacy symposium. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | EU benytter enhver lejlighed til at slå til lyd for ratificering af CTBT i internationale fora og på møder med lande, der endnu ikke har undertegnet eller ratificeret traktaten, og fortsætter med at anvende diplomatiske midler til at fremme CTBT's ikrafttrædelse i de pågældende lande. EU's ekspertise og midler kan hjælpe lande, der mangler ressourcer til at håndtere gennemførelsen af traktatens bestemmelser. EU hilste Thailands ratificering i 2018 varmt velkommen. CTBT blev drøftet bilateralt i EU's politiske dialoger og NPT-dialoger med Indien, Pakistan og USA. |

Initiativer vedrørende nuklear sikkerhed

| 22. | I 2018 besluttede EU, også finansielt, at støtte et af de vigtigste elementer i den globale arkitektur for nuklear sikkerhed og bekæmpelse af terrorisme, den internationale konvention til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme (ICSANT). Formålet med støtten er at øge antallet af deltagere i ICSANT, at skabe øget opmærksomhed blandt de nationale politiske beslutningstagere samt kapacitetsopbygning for at bidrage til at forbedre den nationale lovgivning og styrke de nationale interessenters kapacitet, herunder kapaciteten inden for efterforskning, retsforfølgning og afgørelse af sager om nuklear terrorisme for embedsmænd, der arbejder på det strafferetlige område. Den 10. december vedtog Rådet Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/1939 (3) om EU-støtte til universalisering og effektiv gennemførelse af ICSANT. EU vil over en treårig periode stille næsten 5 mio. EUR til rådighed for FN's Kontor for Narkotikakontrol og Kriminalitetsbekæmpelse og FN's Kontor for Terrorbekæmpelse. Rådets afgørelse skal fremme universalisering og effektiv gennemførelse af ICSANT gennem udvikling og vedligeholdelse af et passwordbeskyttet websted om alle ressourcer vedrørende ICSANT, herunder eksempler på national lovgivning, udvikling af et e-læringsmodul om ICSANT, der skal oversættes til mindst fire officielle FN-sprog, tilvejebringelse af relevant lovgivningsmæssig bistand, kapacitetsopbygning hos relevante interessenter, herunder embedsmænd på det strafferetlige område, der kan være involveret i efterforskning, retsforfølgning og afgørelser i sager vedrørende nukleart og andet radioaktivt materiale, der er omfattet af ICSANT, og afholdelse af globale og regionale workshopper og landebesøg og gennem indsamling og formidling af god praksis. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | EU fortsatte med at støtte det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme (GICNT) og dets mission om at styrke den globale kapacitet til at forebygge, afdække og reagere på nuklear terrorisme. EU deltog i mødet i GICNT's Implementerings- og Vurderingsgruppe (den 11.-12. juni 2018), hvor Finland var vært. Gruppen vedrørende Nuklear Detektion var vært for et todages ekspertmøde den 25.-26. januar 2018 i Bilthoven, Nederlandene. EU og dets medlemsstater er aktivt involveret i arbejdet i GICNT's Implementerings- og Vurderingsgruppe på alle områder: nuklear detektion, nuklear kriminalteknik samt reaktion og risikobegrænsning. EU har aktivt bidraget til substansen i alle referencedokumenter fra IAG's arbejdsgrupper. Den Europæiske Union og dens medlemsstater tilrettelægger og deltager i begivenheder for at bidrage til at fremme den internationale opmærksomhed om og engagement i nuklear sikkerhed, som f.eks. Blue Lion: workshop om genopretning og konsekvensstyring og ekspertmøder arrangeret af Det Forenede Kongerige den 6.-8. februar 2018, the Fierce Falcon: workshop om radiologisk kildesikkerhed og reaktion på tyveri arrangeret af Ungarn i samarbejde med GICNT og USA's energiministerium den 10.-12. april 2018, og Sentinel II-workshoppen: udvikling af nationale programmer for nukleare sikkerhedsøvelser arrangeret af Litauen i samarbejde med Det Forenede Kongerige den 9.-11. oktober 2018. |

23.

| 24. | EU's uddannelsescenter for nuklear sikkerhed (EUSECTRA) med henblik på afsløring og imødegåelse af ulovlige handlinger, der omfatter nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer, har siden 2013 været fuldt operationelt til gavn for EU's medlemsstater og partnerlande, heriblandt en række medlemmer af det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme. Centret drives af Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter (JRC) i dets lokaler i Karlsruhe (Tyskland) og Ispra (Italien) i tæt samarbejde med andre internationale initiativer, som støttes af Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisation og flere af partnerlandene i det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme. Centret anvendes også til praktiske øvelser, navnlig vedrørende bekæmpelse af smugling af nukleart materiale. EUSECTRA er aktiv med hensyn til at imødekomme uddannelsesbehovene i EU's medlemsstater og blandt EU's partnere, herunder højt værdsatte koordinerede kurser for medlemsstaternes delegerede på told- og retshåndhævelsesområdet, der allerede er gennemført og planlagt for 2019-2021 (i direkte samarbejde med Europa-Kommissionens GD HOME og GD TAXUD), og sørger også for vurdering af udstyrets præstationer på anmodning af medlemsstaterne. |

Initiativer vedrørende nuklear verifikation

| 26. | EU og dets medlemsstater støttede FN's Generalforsamlings resolution fra 2016 om nuklear nedrustningsverifikation om nedsættelse af gruppen af regeringseksperter, som skal drøfte verifikations betydning for fremme af nuklear nedrustning, og 1. Komités efterfølgende beslutning i 2017 om at beholde punktet på dagsordenen. EU støtter bredere partnerskabers arbejde og samarbejdsbaserede verifikationsordninger og har deltaget i arbejdet i International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV), siden det blev indledt i 2015. Det aktive engagement fra EU's side er blevet fortsat i IPNDV's fase II med EU (EU-Udenrigstjenesten, Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter og GD ENER) som deltagere i arbejdsgruppernes møder den 26.-28. marts 2018 i Stockholm og den 10.-12. juli i Seoul samt plenarmødet den 3.-7. december i London. Omfattende støtte til FN's gruppe af regeringseksperter om nuklear nedrustningsverifikation og gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 vedrørende traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben er fastlagt som hovedmål. |

Regionale spørgsmål

| 27. | De igangværende diplomatiske bestræbelser med Den Demokratiske Folkerepublik Korea (Nordkorea) er en positiv udvikling, der bidrager til at mindske spændingerne på Den Koreanske Halvø. EU opfordrer kraftigt Nordkorea til at gå seriøst ind i de opfølgende forhandlinger og opgive sine atomprogrammer og programmer for masseødelæggelsesvåben og ballistiske missiler på en fuldstændig, kontrollerbar og uigenkaldelig måde, omgående indstille alle relaterede aktiviteter og igen tilslutte sig traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben og IAEA-sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne på et tidligt tidspunkt og til straks at undertegne og ratificere traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | Indtil Nordkorea tager konkrete skridt til atomafrustning vil EU fortsat håndhæve eksisterende sanktioner strengt og opfordrer alle stater til at gøre det samme. EU har gennemført alle FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolutioner om Nordkorea og har desuden indført sin egen selvstændige sanktionsordning over for Nordkorea, som supplerer og styrker FN's restriktive foranstaltninger. Det samlede antal personer, som EU på egen hånd har opført på listen, når op på 59. EU har indefrosset ni enheders aktiver som led i sin egen sanktionsordning. Derudover har EU indledt omfattende diplomatiske outreachaktiviteter for at understrege behovet for en robust gennemførelse fra samtlige FN-medlemsstaters side af alle relevante resolutioner fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd. Hvor det er nødvendigt, er EU rede til at yde konkret støtte til kapacitetsopbygning med henblik på håndhævelse af sanktioner. |

Nedrustningskonferencen (CD)/traktaten om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer

| 29. | EU er fortsat forenet og engageret i kontrollerbar traktatbaseret kontrol af nuklear nedrustning og våbenkontrol og understreger behovet for at forny de multilaterale bestræbelser og reaktivere de multilaterale forhandlingsorganer, navnlig nedrustningskonferencen (CD). EU ser med tilfredshed på det betydelige arbejde i overensstemmelse med det vedtagne mandat for de underordnede organer for at nå frem til en forståelse om fællestræk, uddybe de tekniske drøftelser og udvide de områder, der er omfattet af en aftale, og overveje effektive foranstaltninger, herunder retlige forhandlingsinstrumenter, og vedtagelsen af fire væsentlige rapporter, som kan give et solidt grundlag, der kan bygges videre på i 2019. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | Det har længe været en prioritet for EU på nedrustningskonferencen omgående at indlede forhandlinger om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer (FMCT) på grundlag af dok. CD/1299 og det deri indeholdte mandat. EU roser Canada for at føre arbejdet i den forberedende FMCT-ekspertgruppe på højt niveau frem til et resultat med konsensus og glæder sig over den inklusive høringsproces, der er fastsat i Generalforsamlingens resolution 71/259 for at tage hensyn til synspunkterne i FN's medlemskreds i bredere forstand. EU yder betydelig finansiel støtte til FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggender (UNODA) for at lette de afrikanske, asiatiske, latinamerikanske og caribiske landes deltagelse i FMCT-relaterede høringer og andre aktiviteter. EU opfordrer alle CD-medlemmer til straks at indlede forhandlinger om en FMCT og begynde at arbejde med de øvrige spørgsmål på dagsordenen. EU opfordrer alle lande, der råder over kernevåben, til at erklære og opretholde et øjeblikkeligt moratorium for produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben og andre nukleare sprænglegemer, hvis de ikke allerede har gjort det. De to europæiske atomvåbenstater har bebudet relevante moratorier og nedlagt eller konverteret sådanne anlæg. |

KEMISKE VÅBEN

| 31. | EU fortsatte med at støtte Organisationen for Forbud mod Kemiske Våben (OPCW) for at sikre fuld og effektiv gennemførelse af og universel tilslutning til konventionen om kemiske våben (CWC). Den 16. april 2018 vedtog Rådet konklusioner, hvori det gentog EU's stærke støtte til kemisk nedrustning og ikkespredning og fastlagde EU's holdninger med henblik på fjerde ekstraordinære samling i konferencen mellem de deltagende stater til gennemgang af CWC den 21.-30. november 2018. I den sammenhæng deltog EU aktivt og konstruktivt i forberedelsen af og arbejdet på fjerde CWC-gennemgangskonference med henblik på at sikre konventionens relevans og forbedre dens effektivitet og kapacitet, herunder håndtering af de nuværende og fremtidige udfordringer. Selv om der ikke kunne opnås konsensus om et endeligt slutdokument fra gennemgangskonferencen, har EU fastholdt sin stærke støtte til OPCW's mandat og arbejde. I den henseende så EU med tilfredshed på afgørelserne om OPCW's program og budget for 2019, som giver Det Tekniske Sekretariat under OPCW et fast og solidt grundlag til at klare de mange forskellige opgaver og udfordringer forude. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | EU støttede desuden kraftigt initiativet til at indkalde til en ekstraordinær samling den 26.-27. juni 2018 i Konferencen af Deltagende Stater, der er parter i CWC, for at opnå, at CWC og det globale forbud mod anvendelse af kemiske våben bevares og opretholdes. Konferencen var den passende reaktion på den gentagne brug af disse våben siden 2012 i Syrien, Irak, Malaysia og Det Forenede Kongerige Storbritannien og Nordirland. EU hilste derfor vedtagelsen af OPCW's afgørelse C-SS-4/DEC.3 af 27. juni 2018 med titlen »Addressing the Threat from Chemical Weapons« (tackling af truslen fra brug af kemiske våben) velkommen. Det Europæiske Råd forpligtede i sine konklusioner af 28. juni EU til at støtte gennemførelsen af afgørelsen fra den ekstraordinære samling. I den sammenhæng foretog EU en demarche over for en lang række stater, der er parter i CWC, og anmodede dem om at gennemføre OPCW's afgørelse konstruktivt og bidrage til et vellykket resultat af fjerde CWC-gennemgangskonference. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Den 26. februar 2018 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/294 (4), som forlænger gyldighedsperioden for EU-Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2015/259 (5) indtil udgangen af 2018 med henblik på en fuldstændig gennemførelse af aktiviteterne efter afgørelsens udløbsdato. Sideløbende drøftede Rådet et nyt udkast til en rådsafgørelse til støtte for OPCW (det syvende i træk) med henblik på dets vedtagelse i begyndelsen af 2019. Den nye afgørelse vil forlænge EU's støtte til OPCW's kerneaktiviteter (bl.a. national gennemførelse, internationalt samarbejde, universalisering og programmet vedrørende Afrika) til perioden 2019-2022. Den vil også yde et væsentligt bidrag til opgraderingen af OPCW's laboratorium til et center for kemi og teknologi og til gennemførelsen af OPCW's afgørelse om tackling af truslen fra brug af kemiske våben. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | EU fastholdt sin stærke støtte til arbejdet i OPCW's undersøgelsesmission og holdet, der undersøger opgørelserne (DAT), for så vidt angår undersøgelsen af rapporter om brug af kemiske våben i Syrien og bestræbelserne på at overvåge Syriens erklæring. I den sammenhæng vedtog Rådet den 10. december 2018 afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/1943 (6), der forlænger gennemførelsesperioden for afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/2303 (7) med henblik på levering af satellitbilleder til støtte for OPCW's operationer i Syrien med 12 måneder. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | I oktober 2018 vedtog EU ved Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/1544 (8) og Rådets forordning (EU) 2018/1542 (9) en ny ordning for restriktive foranstaltninger for at imødegå anvendelse og udbredelse af kemiske våben. |

BIOLOGISKE VÅBEN

| 36. | Efter at der på mødet den 4.-8. december 2017 mellem de stater, der er parter i konventionen om biologiske våben og toksinvåben (BTWC), blev opnået enighed om et arbejdsprogram for perioden mellem konferencerne, fastholdt EU sin stærke politiske og finansielle støtte til en fuld og effektiv gennemførelse og universalisering af konventionen, bl.a. ved at støtteenheden (ISU) for gennemførelse af BTWC gennemfører EU's fjerde program for gennemførelsesbistand, jf. Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2016/51 (10), på en omfattende måde. Der blev arrangeret to regionale workshopper til støtte for universel tilslutning til konventionen i Afrika og fire regionale workshopper til fremme af dialog om videnskab og teknologi blandt lande fra Latinamerika, Asien, Afrika syd for Sahara og Mellemøsten og Nordafrika. Syv yderligere workshopper og uddannelsestiltag fandt sted i de lande, der nyder godt af udvidede bistandsprogrammer om national gennemførelse af konventionen. |
| --- | --- |

36.

| 37. | EU deltog også aktivt og konstruktivt i drøftelserne under mødet den 4.-7. december 2018 mellem de stater, der er parter i konventionen. EU, som bekræftede sin stærke støtte til BTWC som central søjle i det regelbaserede internationale system, udtrykte dybe betænkeligheder ved den kritiske finansielle situationen for så vidt angår konventionen og opfordrede til hasteforanstaltninger med henblik på at garantere den finansielle stabilitet og sikre en korrekt gennemførelse af programmet for perioden mellem konferencerne. EU udtrykte tilfredsheds med indledningen af processen for perioden mellem konferencerne og de tekniske substansdrøftelser på BTWC-ekspertmøderne den 7.-16. august 2018 og støttede, at der på mødet mellem de stater, der er parter i konventionen, træffes opfølgende foranstaltninger. Det er derfor opmuntrende til, at der på mødet i december mellem de stater, der er parter i BTWC, kunne opnås konsensus om foranstaltninger til at bidrage til at sikre den finansielle stabilitet og forudsigelighed det næste år. EU vil dog nøje overvåge den finansielle situation for så vidt angår BTWC, som vil blive taget op til revision på mødet i 2019 mellem de stater, der er parter i konventionen. Samtidig er det beklageligt, at der ikke blev opnået konsensus om væsentlige spørgsmål med henblik på at afspejle resultaterne af BTWC-ekspertmødet i august 2018. EU støttede arbejdet på BTWC-møderne i 2018 ved at fremlægge et arbejdsdokument og tilrettelægge flere sideløbende arrangementer. |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | Siden 2006 har EU ydet omfattende støtte til BTWC's hovedaktiviteter gennem fire fortløbende bistandsprogrammer. En femte afgørelse til støtte for BTWC, som dækker perioden 2019-2022, blev vedtaget af Rådet i januar 2019. EU's samlede finansielle støtte til BTWC vil dermed stige til næsten 10 mio. EUR. Dette beløb omfatter også finansiering til FN's SGM, så UNODA kan sende kvalificerede eksperter, der er opført på listen, på uddannelseskurser, der afholdes af medlemsstaterne. |

BALLISTISKE MISSILER

Haagadfærdskodeksen

| 39. | Haagadfærdskodeksen mod spredning af ballistiske missiler (HCoC) er resultatet af det internationale samfunds bestræbelser på at regulere området for ballistiske missiler, der kan fremføre masseødelæggelsesvåben. HCoC er det eneste multilaterale gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende instrument i forbindelse med spredning af ballistiske missiler. EU har fra starten støttet kodeksen kraftigt. Alle EU's medlemsstater har tilsluttet sig kodeksen. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Ved at tilslutte sig HCoC forpligter medlemmer sig frivilligt og politisk til at give forhåndsmeddelelse om affyring af ballistiske missiler og opsendelse af løfteraketter til rumfartøjer samt prøveflyvninger. De deltagende lande forpligter sig også til at forelægge en årlig erklæring om deres lands politik med hensyn til ballistiske missiler og løfteraketter til rumfartøjer. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | Siden undertegnelsen og ikrafttrædelsen af den politisk bindende HCoC i november 2002 i Haag, Nederlandene, er antallet af signatarer steget fra 93 til 139. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | EU spiller en ledende rolle med hensyn til at fremme og støtte universel anvendelse og fuldstændig gennemførelse samt en bedre funktion, som er tre hovedmål for kodeksen. I løbet af mere end et årti har EU-Rådet inden for rammerne af FUSP vedtaget en række afgørelser/fælles aktioner, der har givet mulighed for fortsat EU-støtte til Haagadfærdskodeksen og ikkespredning af missiler generelt. Gennem disse rådsafgørelser finansierer EU HCoC-outreachaktiviteter, herunder sideløbende arrangementer, forskningsdokumenter, ekspertmøder og regionale bevidsthedsskabende seminarer. Disse aktiviteter udføres af Fondation pour la recherche stratégique i Paris (FRS), hvor også den til enhver tid siddende formand for HCoC normalt deltager. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Med Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/2370 (11) af 18. december 2017 fortsætter EU med at fremme tilslutningen til kodeksen og i sidste ende dens universelle anvendelse, støtte fuld gennemførelse af kodeksen, fremme dialog mellem deltagende og ikkedeltagende stater med henblik på at hjælpe med til at skabe tillid og gennemsigtighed, tilskynde til tilbageholdenhed og skabe mere stabilitet og sikkerhed for alle, styrke kodeksens synlighed og øge offentlighedens bevidsthed om risiciene og truslerne ved spredning af ballistiske missiler samt navnlig gennem akademiske studier undersøge mulighederne for at styrke kodeksen og fremme samarbejdet mellem kodeksen og andre relevante multilaterale instrumenter. |
| --- | --- |

43.

Missilteknologikontrolregimet

| 44. | Missilteknologikontrolregimet (MTCR) er en uformel politisk forståelse blandt lande, som søger at begrænse spredning af missiler og missilteknologi, herunder at kategorisere de missiler, hvorom det er almindeligt anerkendt, at de kan fremføre WMD. MTCR's retningslinjer og kontrollister udgør et internationalt benchmark for bedste praksis for kontrol af eksporten af missilrelaterede produkter og teknologier. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | EU støtter vedtagelsen af en stærkere offentlig erklæring for at afspejle international bekymring over Irans og Nordkoreas affyringer af ballistiske missiler og betydelige udvikling af missilteknologi. Det er fortsat et væsentligt spørgsmål for EU i forbindelse med MTCR, at Kroatien, Cypern, Estland, Letland, Litauen, Malta, Rumænien, Slovakiet og Slovenien er afskåret fra at tilslutte sig regimet. Derudover vækker det særlig bekymring, at regimet i lang tid har været uden formand. |

FN'S SIKKERHEDSRÅDS RESOLUTION 1540 (2004) OG CBRN-RISIKOBEGRÆNSNING

| 46. | FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) er fortsat en central del af den internationale ikkespredningsarkitektur. Den er det første internationale instrument, der på en integreret og samlet måde omhandler masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler og dertil knyttet materiel. FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) indfører bindende forpligtelser for alle lande. Disse skal forhindre ikkestatslige aktører i og afskrække dem fra at tilegne sig sådanne våben og sådant våbenrelateret materiel. Resolutionen blev vedtaget i henhold til kapitel VII i De Forenede Nationers pagt og forpligter alle lande til at vedtage den nødvendige lovgivning, som forhindrer ikkestatslige aktører i at få nukleare, kemiske eller biologiske våben, og til at indføre passende national kontrol med relaterede materialer for at hindre ulovlig handel hermed. Den samlede gennemgang i 2016 af UNSCR 1540 understregede på ny, at den er central, vigtig og gyldig som afspejlet i UNSCR 2325. |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | For at bidrage til gennemførelsen af resultaterne af den samlede gennemgang i 2016 og støtte den fuldstændige gennemførelse af UNSCR 1540 vedtog Rådet den 11. maj 2017 Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/809 (12) om støtte til gennemførelsen af De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler. Rådets afgørelse dækker en periode på 36 måneder og gennemføres af FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggender (UNODA) i New York, som har udliciteret noget af gennemførelsen til OSCE i Wien. EU deler målene om at bistå landene med at identificere specifik teknisk bistand, øge kendskabet til relevante programmer for teknisk bistand og styrke samarbejdet med internationale og regionale organisationer for at støtte den nationale kapacitetsopbygningsindsats. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | Initiativet vedrørende EU's CBRN-ekspertisecentre til risikobegrænsning er et verdensomspændende program for kapacitetsopbygning, som samler 61 partnerlande grupperet om otte regionale sekretariater i følgende regioner: Afrikas Atlanterhavskyst, Centralasien, Øst- og Centralafrika, landene i Golfstaternes Samarbejdsråd, Mellemøsten, Nordafrika og Sahel, Sydøstasien, Sydøst- og Østeuropa. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | CBRN-ekspertisecentrene finansieres under instrumentet, der bidrager til stabilitet og fred, og har til formål at begrænse risici i forbindelse med CBRN-materialer, styrke partnerlandenes beredskab og fremme sikkerhedskultur og sikkerhedsforvaltning. Deltagende lande støttes i deres bestræbelser på frivilligt og efter en regional bottom-up-tilgang at etablere nationale og regionale koordinerings- og forvaltningsstrukturer. Disse platforme udvikler politikforslag og kapacitet baseret på specifikke behovsvurderinger og nationale handlingsplaner. De støttes gennem flere regionale samarbejdsprojekter, der finansieres under initiativet og er åbne over for andre finansieringsinstrumenter. Siden 2010 er 66 regionale projekter blevet finansieret. Initiativets budget for den tiårsperiode, der begynder i 2010, beløber sig til 250 mio. EUR. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | Netværket af ekspertisecentre er nu veludviklet og har gjort det muligt for EU at gennemføre grænseoverskridende skrivebords- og feltøvelser om spørgsmål som civilbeskyttelse, reaktion på hændelser, biosikring og affaldshåndtering inden for rammerne af ekspertisecenterprojekter for at forbedre synligheden og konkret vurdere deres virkning. Desuden er initiativet tilstrækkelig udviklet til at støtte yderligere tiltag til løsning af sikkerhedsforvaltningsspørgsmål i forbindelse med cyberkriminalitet, terrorisme, kritiske infrastrukturer, forfalskede lægemidler, hybride trusler og sprængstoffer samt videreudvikle samarbejdet om nuklear kriminalteknik, grænsekontrol og kontrol med udførsel af produkter med dobbelt anvendelse. Ekspertisecentermodellen er også blevet hilst velkommen af Den Europæiske Revisionsret (13) efterfulgt af Rådets konklusioner den 26. oktober 2015 (14). |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | I oktober 2017 forelagde Kommissionen — som en del af en bredere terrorbekæmpelsespakke — en handlingsplan til styrkelse af beredskabet over for kemiske, biologiske, radiologiske og nukleare sikkerhedsrisici. Den nye handlingsplan, der bygger på resultaterne af EU's CBRN-handlingsplan 2010-2015, foreslår en lang række foranstaltninger til forbedring af beredskabet, modstandsdygtigheden og samordningen på EU-plan. Den foreslår, at der oprettes en mere sikkerhedsorienteret CBRN-arkitektur på EU-plan, idet det understreges, at det er vigtigt at anvende de eksisterende ressourcer bedre og samle eksisterende ekspertise. Handlingsplanen opfordrer også til at styrke EU's CBRN-beredskab og -indsats gennem grænseoverskridende og tværsektoriel uddannelse og øvelser. Den understreger behovet for, når det er relevant, at inddrage grænse- og toldmyndigheder og militære partnere. Handlingsplanen understreger også betydningen af tætte forbindelser mellem interne og eksterne sikkerhedsrelaterede CBRN-aktiviteter samt samarbejde med specialiserede multilaterale organisationer som IAEA, OPCW eller INTERPOL. Gennemførelsen af handlingsplanen støttes finansielt gennem Fonden for Intern Sikkerhed (politidelen). |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | CBRN-handlingsplanen har modtaget videnskabelig og teknisk støtte fra en række forskningsprojekter, der finansieres af programmet Sikre samfund under det syvende rammeprogram. Forskningen dækker hele krisestyringscyklussen fra forebyggelse til genopretning. Aktiviteter med henblik på at identificere standardiseringsbehov kan føre til europæiske standarder. Horisont 2020-programmet skal styrke det igangværende arbejde inden for CBRN-forskning gennem fokusområder. |

TÆNKETANKE

| 53. | På grundlag af Rådets afgørelse 2010/430/FUSP (15) af 26. juli 2010 er gennemførelsen af EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben blevet støttet aktivt af EU's konsortium for ikkespredning, der indledte sine aktiviteter i januar 2011. Den 26. februar 2018 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/299 (16), som yderligere forlænger EU's støtte til konsortiets aktiviteter for perioden 2018-2021 ved at bygge på de resultater, der hidtil er opnået, og ved at tilføje nye projekter. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Konsortiets aktiviteter øgede EU's synlighed over for tredjelande og civilsamfundet og bidrog væsentligt til EU's politikudformning inden for ikkespredning og nedrustning. Konsortiet udgør en platform for uformelle kontakter blandt aktørerne og fremmer dialogen mellem forskellige interessenter. Dets aktiviteter har bidraget til at øge bevidstheden om de udfordringer, som masseødelæggelsesvåben og konventionelle våben skaber. Det har et omfattende netværk bestående af mere end 70 tænketanke over hele Europa. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | Syvende EU-konference om ikkespredning og nedrustning arrangeret af EU's konsortium for ikkespredning fandt sted den 18.-19. december 2018 i Bruxelles. |

EKSPORTKONTROL

| 56. | I 2018 fortsatte EU med regelmæssigt at ajourføre sine forordninger, så de afspejlede udviklingen i de multilaterale eksportkontrolordninger. Europa-Kommissionen vedtog således en delegeret forordning den 10. oktober 2018 (17), der ajourfører EU's kontrolliste i overensstemmelse med afgørelser truffet i multilaterale eksportkontrolordninger i 2017, og foretog ændringer af f.eks. kontrol med genetiske elementer og genetisk modificerede organismer, dimensionsinspektions- eller målesystemer, højenergiceller, intrusionsoftware og løftefartøjer til rumfartøjer. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Koordinationsgruppen for Produkter med Dobbelt Anvendelse fortsatte med at støtte effektiv og konsekvent gennemførelse af eksportkontroller i EU. Der blev indført nye funktioner i det elektroniske system vedrørende dobbelt anvendelse, hvilket forbedrede udvekslingen af tekniske oplysninger inden for EU. EU indledte en proces med henblik på at definere overensstemmelsesretningslinjer for industrien og gennemførte en offentlig høring om emnet i oktober og november 2018. EU indledte også et projekt vedrørende »elektroniske tilladelser« med henblik på at støtte de kompetente myndigheders anvendelse af elektroniske tilladelsessystemer. Der blev offentliggjort en årsrapport (18) for at sikre gennemsigtighed vedrørende eksportkontrol og anvendelse af licenser, og der blev organiseret et eksportkontrolforum den 13. december 2018 med deltagelse af interessenter fra medlemsstaterne, industrien og civilsamfundet (19). |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Gennemgangen af EU's eksportkontrolpolitik fortsatte. Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet drøftede aktivt Kommissionens lovforslag til modernisering af EU's eksportkontroller og deres tilpasning til teknologiske, økonomiske og politiske forhold i hastig forandring. Europa-Parlamentet vedtog en førstebehandlingsholdning den 17. januar 2018, mens drøftelserne i Rådet fortsatte. Desuden vedtog Kommissionen den 19. december 2018 et lovgivningsforslag som led i Brexitnødhandlingsplanen for at afbøde de potentielle virkninger af Brexit, i tilfælde af at der ikke kan opnås enighed om en udtrædelsesaftale (COM(2018)891). |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | EU's holdninger og erklæringer blev om nødvendigt koordineret som forberedelse til de relevante møder i eksportkontrolordningerne: plenarmødet i Gruppen af Leverandører af Nukleart Materiale i Jurmala (den 11.-15. juni 2018) og plenarmødet i Australiengruppen i Paris (den 7.-8. juni 2018). |
| --- | --- |

59.

| 60. | Gennemførelsen af EU's P2P-eksportkontrolprogram til styrkelse af effektiviteten af kontrolsystemer for udførsel af produkter med dobbelt anvendelse og hermed forbundne materialer, udstyr og teknologier fortsatte. Programmet omfatter på nuværende tidspunkt 36 lande fra seks regioner. I 2017 blev det udvidet for at muliggøre samarbejde med Libanon. To nye regionale initiativer, der består i målrettede initiativer på eksportkontrolområdet, blev iværksat i 2017 og 2018 sammen med Ukraines videnskabs- og teknologicenter og Det Internationale Videnskabs- og Teknologicenter i Kasakhstan, som omfatter 12 lande. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | Den intensive koordinering af EU's P2P-eksportkontrolprogram med det amerikanske udenrigsministeriums program for eksportkontrol og tilknyttet grænsesikkerhed fortsatte. Der blev tilrettelagt fælles seminarer for EU og USA for at fastlægge fælles effektindikatorer og koordinere bistanden i marken. I 2018 tilrettelagde EU den anden dialog vedrørende eksportkontrolforvaltning, en konference, der samlede de fire eksportkontrolordninger med partnerorganisationer og -lande. Der tilrettelægges et årligt EU-P2P-sommeruniversitet for partnere til EU's eksportkontrolprogrammer. EU's P2P-portal (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) fungerede fortsat som en platform for alle EU's outreachprogrammer vedrørende eksportkontrol af produkter med militære formål og produkter med dobbelt anvendelse med det formål at tilpasse udvekslingen af oplysninger med EU's partnerlande. Programmet finansieres under instrumentet, der bidrager til stabilitet og fred. |

RUMMET

| 62. | EU tilskyndede til videreførelse af arbejdet med forebyggelse af et våbenkapløb i det ydre rum (PAROS), med principperne for ansvarlig adfærd i det ydre rum og med gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende foranstaltninger. EU støttede arbejdet i Arbejdsgruppen om Langsigtet Bæredygtighed af Aktiviteter i det Ydre Rum under FN's Komité for Fredelig Udnyttelse af det Ydre Rum (COPUOS). Eftersom retningslinjerne for den langsigtede bæredygtighed af aktiviteter i det ydre rum ikke blev vedstaget i 2018, vil EU fortsætte med at arbejde sammen med alle sine partnere med henblik på at afslutte forhandlingerne. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | I juni deltog EU med succes i højniveausegmentet UNISPACE+50 under COPUOS i Wien. EU understregede i sin erklæring betydningen af gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende foranstaltninger og af at fremme principperne for ansvarlig adfærd i det ydre rum inden for rammerne af De Forenede Nationer. EU påpegede værdien af at nå til enighed om et juridisk ikkebindende instrument som en vej til at nå disse mål. EU og dets medlemsstater fremmede også sikkerhed i rummet i Gruppen af Regeringseksperter (GGE) vedrørende forebyggelse af et våbenkapløb i det ydre rum, nedrustningskonferencen, herunder dens underorgan 3, FN's Nedrustningskommission og FN's Generalforsamling. EU vil bestræbe sig på at sikre, at Rådets konklusioner fra december 2017 og februar 2018 om UNISPACE+50, afspejles i 2030-rumdagsordenen og dens gennemførelsesplan, som vil blive forelagt FN's Generalforsamling i 2020-2021. |

WMD-IKKESPREDNINGSKLAUSULER

| 64. | I overensstemmelse med sin politik for ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og i overensstemmelse med Rådets konklusioner fra 2003 fortsatte EU arbejdet med at integrere tilsagn om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben i aftaler med tredjelande. I konsekvens heraf blev forhandlingerne med MERCOSUR om en klausul vedrørende masseødelæggelsesvåben i de nye aftaler med denne gruppe af lande afsluttet i 2018. Desuden fortsatte forhandlingerne om en WMD-klausul til de nye aftaler med Aserbajdsjan, Chile og Kirgisistan. |
