Fördraget om förhindrande av spridning av kärnvapen och Internationella atomenergiorganet

| 6. | Cykeln för granskning av icke-spridningsfördraget fortsatte med den andra sessionen i den förberedande kommittén för 2020 års granskningskonferens mellan parterna i icke-spridningsfördraget i Genève den 23 april–4 maj 2018. EU gjorde fyra uttalanden: ett under den allmänna debatten och tre under debatterna om kärnvapennedrustning, icke-spridning respektive fredlig användning. Ett särskilt uttalande gjordes också till stöd för upprättandet av en zon i Mellanöstern fri från massförstörelsevapen. Dessutom anordnade EU två sidoevenemang: ett avseende EU:s stöd för fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar och dess organisation, och ett annat om fördelarna med icke-spridningsfördraget som inriktades på det internationella samarbetet i fråga om radioaktiva strålkällor under hela deras livscykel. EU lade också fram arbetsdokument om kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning och om ett fördrag om förbud för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen. Samtliga EU:s medlemsstater ställde sig bakom uttalandet om hantering av kärnvapenfrågan i Nordkorea. Vid den 73:e sessionen i FN:s generalförsamlings första utskott för nedrustning och internationell säkerhet bidrog EU vid alla relevanta debatter, inbegripet den tematiska debatten om kärnvapen. |

9.

| 10. | I anslutning till EU:s och IAEA:s femte möte mellan högre tjänstemän (den 15 februari 2017) undertecknade JRC och IAEA en praktisk överenskommelse om samarbete om kärnvetenskapliga tillämpningar i syfte att utveckla gemensam verksamhet och undvika dubbelarbete. Denna praktiska överenskommelse omfattar bland annat miljöövervakning av radioaktivitet, mätt över Europa och ett antal andra platser i världen i form av genomsnitt av och högsta värden för gammadosrat för de senaste 24 timmarna. Dessa mätningar kommer från ungefär 5 500 mätstationer som drivs av de behöriga nationella myndigheterna i 39 länder som rapporterar de senaste radiologiska värdena till Europeiska unionens plattform för utbyte av radiologiska data (Eurdep). En anmälan av en radiologisk olycka eller nödsituation görs genom nätverk för tidig information såsom Europeiska unionens system för snabbt utbyte av information i radiologiska nödsituationer (Ecurie) eller Emercon, som drivs av Europeiska kommissionen respektive IAEA, efter samråd med de behöriga nationella myndigheterna. Den verksamhet som bedrevs 2018 inbegriper utarbetandet av harmoniserade förfaranden för beredskap och agerande vid nödsituationer, deltagande i övningar (ConcEx, Ecurex), stöd till det internationella informationssystemet för strålningsövervakning (test av datautbyte med länder utanför Europa och utbyte av övervakningsuppgifter på regional nivå). |

| 11. | Den gemensamma övergripande handlingsplanen är en central del av den globala arkitekturen för förhindrande av spridning av kärnvapen och resultatet av multilateral diplomati. Det är av avgörande betydelse för europeisk säkerhet att överenskommelsen fortsätter att genomföras fullt ut och på ett effektivt sätt. EU fortsätter att bidra till genomförandet av den gemensamma övergripande handlingsplanen genom att samordna den gemensamma kommittén och ett antal arbetsgrupper på expertnivå som har inrättats inom ramen för handlingsplanen. EU fortsätter också att fullt ut stödja IAEA:s långsiktiga uppdrag att kontrollera och övervaka Irans kärntekniska åtaganden. Sedan 2016 har EU deltagit i genomförandet av bilaga III till den gemensamma övergripande handlingsplanen, i synnerhet genom projekt för att förbättra kärnsäkerheten. 15 miljoner euro har redan anslagits till civilt kärntekniskt samarbete med Iran och tre projekt kontrakterats till stöd för både Irans tillsynsmyndighet för kärnteknik och kärnkraftverksoperatören vid Bushehr. |

11.

| 12. | Civilt kärntekniskt samarbete med Iran är en hörnsten i den gemensamma övergripande handlingsplanen och utgör ett centralt inslag i EU:s kontakter med Iran. Samarbetet ger en bättre förståelse för Irans civila kärntekniska behov och skapar gradvis ett förtroende för den fredliga karaktären av Irans kärntekniska program. 2018 års samarbete mellan EU och Iran inbegrep täta utbyten på hög nivå om politiska frågor med en särskild inriktning på kärnteknisk förvaltning, en gemensam workshop om ansvarighet och försäkring inom civil kärnteknik, projekt som stöder ansträngningarna från Irans tillsynsmyndighet för kärnteknik att anpassa sig till internationella standarder på lagstiftnings- och tillsynsområdet, vetenskapliga seminarier och tekniska besök vid kärntekniska anläggningar och laboratorier tillhörande EU:s gemensamma forskningscentrum, internationella konferenser med aktörer inom det kärntekniska området och projekt till stöd för moderniseringen av Araks forskningsreaktor (Khondab) och omställningen av Fordowanläggningen till ett centrum för kärnteknik, fysik och teknik. Iran förblev EU:s största mottagare av stöd inom kärnsäkerhetsområdet. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Övergripande avtal om kärnämneskontroll tillsammans med tilläggsprotokoll utgör den nuvarande kontrollstandarden och EU fortsätter att uppmana till universell anslutning till dessa snarast. Det nära samarbetet mellan Euratom och IAEA möjliggör ändamålsenlig och effektiv kärnämneskontroll. EU stöder aktivt IAEA:s system för kärnämneskontroll genom Europeiska kommissionens program för stöd till kärnämneskontroll, instrumentet för kärnsäkerhetssamarbete och medlemsstaternas stödprogram. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | EU och dess medlemsstater fäster mycket stor vikt vid ett globalt genomförande och en kontinuerlig förbättring av kärnsäkerheten. EU har gett rättslig verkan åt målen i Wiendeklarationen om kärnsäkerhet genom det ändrade kärnsäkerhetsdirektivet, som trädde i kraft 2017. En central del i det ändrade direktivet är att ett säkerhetsmål införts för alla aktörer för att förhindra olyckor och undvika betydande radioaktiva utsläpp. Genom de ändrade direktiven läggs även tematiska inbördes granskningar till i Euratoms lagstiftning. En första tematisk inbördes granskning har redan genomförts med gott resultat. Alla EU:s medlemsstater har införlivat de nya bestämmelserna i sin nationella lagstiftning. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | För att främja fredlig användning av kärnenergi har EU avsatt 325 miljoner euro under perioden 2014–2020 till främjande av kärnsäkerhet, strålskydd och tillämpning av en effektiv och ändamålsenlig kärnämneskontroll i tredjeländer. Europeiska kommissionen samarbetar med IAEA och andra partner för att stödja genomförandet av den strategiska översiktsplanen för miljösanering i Centralasien och främjade tillsammans med Kirgizistan den internationella givarkonferensen den 8 november 2018, där mer än 17 miljoner euro utlovades av deltagarna för att genomföra översiktsplanen. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | EU och dess medlemsstater fortsätter med sitt kraftfulla stöd för IAEA:s program för tekniskt samarbete, bland annat genom betydande bidrag till fonden för tekniskt samarbete och initiativet för fredlig användning. EU och dess medlemsstater är den näst största bidragsgivaren till programmet för tekniskt samarbete, vilket är ett viktigt verktyg för att möjliggöra en säker, trygg och fredlig användning av kärnteknik och att uppfylla målen i Agenda 2030 för hållbar utveckling. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | EU och IAEA håller ett årligt möte mellan högre tjänstemän, där deras breda samarbete ses över och planeras. IAEA stod värd för det senaste mötet, som hölls i Wien den 8 februari 2018. Diskussionerna fokuserades på ett stärkt samarbete avseende kärnsäkerhet, säkerhetsfrågor, kärnämneskontroll, hållbar utveckling, kärnenergi, forskning och ökad innovation. I mars fördes diskussioner mellan unionens höga representant för utrikes frågor och säkerhetspolitik/vice ordförande (EU:s utrikesrepresentant) och IAEA:s generaldirektör. |

Fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar

| 18. | Att CTBT snabbt träder i kraft och universaliseras är viktiga mål för EU:s strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen. Alla EU:s medlemsstater har visat prov på sitt engagemang för fördraget genom att ratificera det och tillämpa de grundläggande skyldigheterna enligt fördraget. CTBT är en effektiv åtgärd för att skapa förtroende och säkerhet. EU lyfter konsekvent fram fördelarna med och mervärdet av fördraget vad gäller fred, säkerhet, nedrustning och icke-spridning, inbegripet i dess civila tillämpningar och ger ekonomiskt stöd till den förberedande kommissionen för organisationen för fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar (CTBTO). |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | Den 26 februari 2018 antog rådet rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/298 (2) om unionens stöd för den verksamhet som bedrivs av den förberedande kommissionen för organisationen för fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar (CTBTO) i syfte att stärka dess övervaknings- och kontrollkapacitet. Det ekonomiska stödet på över 4,5 miljoner euro under en tvåårsperiod ska gå till certifierade stödjande seismiska stationer som ingår i CTBTO:s internationella övervakningssystem, utvecklingen av provtagningssystem för ädelgas genom studier av material för bättre adsorption av xenon, fortsatta kampanjer för mätning av bakgrunden av radioaktivt xenon i olika regioner i världen, systemet för ensembleprognoser (the Ensemble Prediction System) för att kvantifiera osäkerhetsmoment och tillförlitlighetsnivån i simulationer inom ramen för modellen för atmosfärisk transport, en vetenskaplig utvärdering av den ökade resolutionen för redskap för modellberäkningar av atmosfärisk transport, utveckling av ny mjukvara, förbättrade inspektioner på plats av bearbetning och detektion av ädelgas, förbättrad automatisk bearbetnings- och integrationskapacitet i seismiska, hydroakustiska och infraljudsbaserade nationella datacenter i en låda (NDC-in-a-Box), integrerad uppsökande verksamhet och kapacitetsuppbyggnad inriktad på signatärstater och stater som inte är signatärstater. EU och dess medlemsstater bidrar också till underhållet och stärkandet av CTBT:s kontrollsystem genom tekniskt stöd och teknisk rådgivning i CTBTO:s arbetsgrupp B och vid andra workshoppar och seminarier. |

| 20. | På inbjudan av gruppen Friends of the CTBT, som består av Australien, Kanada, Finland, Tyskland, Japan och Nederländerna deltog EU:s utrikesrepresentant i det nionde ministermötet som anordnades i New York den 27 september 2018, där hon framförde ett överenskommet EU-uttalande. På hennes vägnar deltog Europeiska utrikestjänstens särskilda sändebud för nedrustning och icke-spridning tillsammans med sekretariatschefen för CTBTO och EU:s utrikesrepresentant i högnivåkonferensen ”Towards a world without nuclear tests: fulfilling the promise”, som anordnades av Belgien den 22 maj 2018. Sekretariatschefen för CTBTO, Lassina Zerbo, höll huvudanförandet på konferensen, där Didier Reynders, Belgiens vice premiärminister och utrikes- och Europaminister, stod värd. EU deltog i maj 2018 i CTBTO:s symposium om vetenskap och diplomati. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | EU tar varje tillfälle i akt att i internationella forum och vid möten med länder som ännu inte har undertecknat eller ratificerat CTBT förespråka ratificering av fördraget och fortsätter att på diplomatisk väg främja CTBT:s ikraftträdande i dessa länder. EU:s expertis och medel kan hjälpa de länder som saknar resurser för att genomföra bestämmelserna i fördraget. EU såg mycket positivt på Thailands ratificering av fördraget 2018. CTBT diskuterades bilateralt i samband med EU:s politiska dialoger och dialoger om icke-spridning och nedrustning med Indien, Pakistan och Förenta staterna. |

Initiativ om nukleärt fysiskt skydd

| 22. | 2018 beslutade EU att även ekonomiskt stötta en av de viktigaste beståndsdelarna i den globala arkitekturen för nukleärt fysiskt skydd och antiterrorism, den internationella konventionen för bekämpande av nukleär terrorism (nedan kallad konventionen). Målen med stödet är att få fler att ansluta sig till konventionen, att öka medvetenheten bland nationella beslutsfattare och att genomföra kapacitetsuppbyggnad för att förbättra den nationella lagstiftningen och stärka kapaciteten hos de nationella berörda aktörerna, till exempel tjänstemän inom rättsväsendet som ska utreda, lagföra och avgöra ärenden som gäller nukleär terrorism. Den 10 december antog rådet rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/1939 (3) om unionens stöd för universalisering och effektivt genomförande av den internationella konventionen för bekämpande av nukleär terrorism. EU kommer att bidra med nästan fem miljoner euro under en period om tre år till FN:s drog- och brottsbekämpningsbyrå och FN:s kontor för terrorismbekämpning. Rådets beslut kommer att främja universaliseringen och det effektiva genomförandet av konventionen genom utvecklingen och underhållet av en lösenordsskyddad webbplats med alla resurser om konventionen, inklusive exempel på nationell lagstiftning, utvecklingen av en e-lärandemodul om konventionen, som ska översättas till minst fyra officiella FN-språk, tillhandahållande av relevant lagstiftningsstöd, kapacitetsuppbyggnad hos relevanta berörda aktörer, inklusive tjänstemän inom rättsväsendet som kan involveras i utredningen, lagföringen och avgörandet av ärenden som rör kärnämne och annat radioaktivt material som omfattas av konventionen, anordnande av globala och regionala workshoppar och besök i länder, och genom att samla in och sprida exempel på god praxis. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | EU fortsatte att stödja det globala initiativet för att bekämpa nukleär terrorism (GICNT) och dess uppdrag att stärka den globala förmågan att förhindra, upptäcka och vidta åtgärder mot nukleär terrorism. EU deltog i mötet i GICNT:s grupp för genomförande och bedömning (den 11–12 juni 2018), där Finland stod värd, och arbetsgruppen för nukleär detektion stod värd för ett två dagar långt expertmöte i Bilthoven i Nederländerna den 25–26 januari 2018. EU och dess medlemsstater deltar aktivt i arbetet i GICNT:s grupp för genomförande och bedömning på samtliga områden, nämligen nukleär detektion, nukleär forensik samt beredskap och begränsning. EU har aktivt bidragit till innehållet i samtliga referensdokument från arbetsgrupperna för genomförande och bedömning. Europeiska unionen och dess medlemsstater anordnar och deltar i evenemang för att på internationell nivå bidra till att skapa medvetenhet om och engagemang för nukleärt fysisk skydd, exempelvis workshoppen och expertmötet ”Blue Lion: Recovery and Consequence Management” den 6–8 februari 2018, där Förenade kungariket stod värd, workshoppen ”Fierce Falcon: Radiological Source Security and Theft Response”, som organiserades av Ungern i samarbete med GICNT och det amerikanska energidepartementet den 10–12 april 2018, och workshoppen ”Sentinel II: Developing National Nuclear Security Exercise Programmes”, där Litauen stod värd i samarbete med Förenade kungariket den 9–11 oktober 2018. |

| 24. | EU:s centrum för utbildning om nukleär säkerhet (Eusectra), som syftar till att upptäcka och vidta åtgärder mot olagliga handlingar med kärnämne och annat radioaktivt material, har varit fullt operativt sedan 2013 till gagn för Europeiska unionens medlemsstater och partnerländer, däribland flera GICNT-medlemmar. Centrumet drivs av Europeiska kommissionens gemensamma forskningscentrum (JRC) vid dess anläggningar i Karlsruhe (Tyskland) och Ispra (Italien), i nära samarbete med olika internationella initiativ som har lanserats av Internationella atomenergiorganet och av flera partnerländer i GICNT. Centrumet används även för praktiska övningar främst rörande bekämpning av smuggling av kärnämne. Eusectra arbetar aktivt med att tillgodose utbildningsbehov i EU:s medlemsstater och hos EU:s partner, inbegripet genom de mycket uppskattade samordnade utbildningar för medlemsstaternas delegater inom tull och brottsbekämpning som redan har genomförts, och som planeras genomföras på nytt 2019–2021 (i direkt samarbete med generaldirektoratet för migration och inrikes frågor och generaldirektoratet för skatter och tullar), och man utvärderar även utrustningens prestanda på begäran av medlemsstaterna. |

Initiativ om kärnkontroll

| 26. | EU och dess medlemsstater stödde FN:s generalförsamlings resolution 2016 om kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning och inrättandet av den grupp med statliga experter som ska diskutera kontrollens roll för att främja kärnvapennedrustning samt det därefter följande beslutet i första utskottet 2017 om att frågan ska finnas kvar på dagordningen. EU stöder det arbete som bedrivs i bredare partnerskap och samarbetsbaserade kontrollarrangemang och har deltagit i arbetet inom det internationella partnerskapet för kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning (International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification, IPNDV) sedan det invigdes 2015. EU:s aktiva engagemang har fortsatt under etapp två av IPNDV, och EU (Europeiska utrikestjänsten, Europeiska kommissionens gemensamma forskningscentrum och generaldirektoratet för energi) deltog i arbetsgruppernas möten i Stockholm den 26 – 28 mars 2018 och i Seoul den 10–12 juli, och i plenarmötet i London den 3–7 december. Omfattande stöd till FN:s grupp med statliga experter för kontroll av kärnvapennedrustning och översynskonferensen 2020 för icke-spridningsfördraget har fastställts som huvudmål. |

Regionala frågor

| 27. | De pågående diplomatiska ansträngningarna med Demokratiska folkrepubliken Korea (Nordkorea) är ett framsteg som bidrar till att minska spänningarna på Koreahalvön. EU uppmanar Nordkorea att engagera sig på ett seriöst sätt i de efterföljande förhandlingarna och avstå från program för kärnteknik, massförstörelsevapen och ballistiska robotar på ett fullständigt, kontrollerbart och oåterkalleligt sätt, omedelbart upphöra med all relaterad verksamhet och återgå till icke-spridningsfördraget och IAEA:s kärnämneskontroll snarast, och att underteckna och ratificera fördraget om fullständigt förbud mot kärnsprängningar utan dröjsmål. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | Till dess att Nordkorea tar konkreta steg mot en kärnvapennedrustning kommer EU att fortsätta att strikt upprätthålla de befintliga sanktionerna och uppmuntra alla stater att göra detsamma. EU har införlivat alla resolutioner från FN:s säkerhetsråd som rör Nordkorea och har dessutom infört en egen, autonom sanktionsordning för Nordkorea som kompletterar och förstärker FN:s restriktiva åtgärder. Totalt omfattas 59 personer av EU:s autonoma sanktioner. EU har frusit tillgångarna för 9 enheter som en del av sin egen sanktionsordning. Dessutom har EU ägnat sig åt omfattande diplomatiska samtal för att understryka behovet av att alla FN:s medlemsstater genomför alla relevanta resolutioner från FN:s säkerhetsråd ordentligt. Vid behov är EU berett att ge konkret stöd för kapacitetsuppbyggnad inom efterlevnad av sanktioner. |

Nedrustningskonferensen/fördraget om förbud mot framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar

| 29. | EU står fortsatt enat bakom en kontrollerbar och fördragsbaserad kärnvapennedrustning och rustningskontroll, och understryker behovet av att förnya de multilaterala ansträngningarna och ge ny kraft åt de multilaterala förhandlingsorganen, och då särskilt nedrustningskonferensen. EU välkomnar dels det omfattande arbetet, i enlighet med det överenskomna mandatet för underorganen, för att enas på de områden där man har mycket gemensamt, fördjupa de tekniska diskussionerna, bredda de områden där man är överens samt överväga effektiva åtgärder, däribland rättsliga instrument för förhandlingar, dels antagandet av fyra omfattande rapporter som kan utgöra en stabil grund att bygga vidare på under 2019. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | EU:s prioritering i nedrustningskonferensen är sedan länge att omedelbart inleda förhandlingar om ett fördrag om förbud för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar (nedan kallat FMCT) på grundval av dokument CD/1299 och mandatet i detta. EU lovordar Kanadas arbete för ett samförstånd kring det arbete som utförts i den förberedande expertgruppen på hög nivå för FMCT och välkomnar den inkluderande samrådsprocess som föreskrivs i FN:s generalförsamlings resolution 71/259 som gör att synpunkterna från fler FN-medlemsstater tas i beaktande. EU bidrar med avsevärt ekonomiskt stöd till FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda) för att underlätta afrikanska, asiatiska, latinamerikanska och västindiska länders deltagande i FMCT-relaterade samråd och annan verksamhet. EU uppmanar alla medlemmar av nedrustningskonferensen att utan dröjsmål inleda förhandlingar om FMCT och att påbörja arbetet med andra frågor på dagordningen. EU uppmanar alla länder som har kärnvapen att, om de inte redan har gjort det, utfärda och upprätthålla ett omedelbart moratorium för framställning av klyvbart material för kärnvapen och andra kärnladdningar. De två europeiska kärnvapenstaterna har utfärdat de relevanta moratorierna och avvecklat eller omvandlat sådana anläggningar. |

KEMISKA VAPEN

| 31. | EU fortsatte att stödja Organisationen för förbud mot kemiska vapen (OPCW) för att säkerställa ett fullständigt och effektivt genomförande av och universell anslutning till konventionen om kemiska vapen (CWC). Den 16 april 2018 antog rådet slutsatser där man upprepade EU:s starka stöd för nedrustning och icke-spridning på området kemiska vapen och fastställde EU:s ståndpunkt inför den fjärde särskilda sessionen i konventionsstaternas översynskonferens om CWC den 21–30 november 2018. EU deltog aktivt och konstruktivt i förberedelserna inför och arbetet under den fjärde översynskonferensen om CWC i syfte att säkerställa konventionens relevans och öka dess effektivitet och kapacitet, bland annat för att hantera nuvarande och kommande utmaningar. Trots att man inte kunde enas om ett gemensamt slutdokument från översynskonferensen förblev EU fast beslutet att kraftfullt stödja OPCW:s mandat och arbete. EU välkomnade i detta avseende besluten om OPCW:s program och budget för 2019 som ger en fast och stabil grund för att OPCW:s tekniska sekretariat ska kunna ta itu med de många uppgifter och utmaningar som väntar. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | EU uttryckte vidare sitt starka stöd för initiativet att sammankalla den särskilda sessionen i konferensen för de stater som är parter i CWC den 26–27 juni 2018 i syfte att bevara och upprätthålla konventionen och det globala förbudet mot användning av kemiska vapen. Konferensen var en lämplig åtgärd som svar på den upprepade användningen av dessa vapen sedan 2012 i Syrien, Irak, Malaysia och Förenade konungariket Storbritannien och Nordirland. EU välkomnade därför antagandet av OPCW:s beslut C-SS-4/DEC.3 av den 27 juni 2018 om bemötande av hotet från användning av kemiska vapen. I Europeiska rådets slutsatser av den 28 juni åtog sig EU att stödja genomförandet av den särskilda konferensens beslut. EU gjorde i detta sammanhang en démarche till ett stort antal konventionsstater och bad dem inta ett konstruktivt förhållningssätt till genomförandet av OPCW:s beslut och stödja ett tillfredsställande resultat av den fjärde översynskonferensen om CWC. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Den 26 februari 2018 antog rådet beslut (Gusp) 2018/294 (4) som förlänger varaktigheten för rådets beslut (Gusp) 2015/259 (5) till och med slutet av 2018 för att möjliggöra ett fullständigt genomförande av verksamheten efter det datum då beslutet i fråga skulle upphöra att gälla. Parallellt med detta diskuterade rådet ett nytt, sjunde utkast till rådets beslut till stöd för OPCW, för att det skulle kunna antas i början av 2019. Det nya beslutet kommer att förlänga EU:s stöd till OPCW:s kärnverksamhet (t.ex. nationellt genomförande, internationellt samarbete, universalisering, programmet för Afrika) så att det omfattar perioden 2019–2022. Beslutet innebär också ett betydande bidrag till uppgraderingen av OPCW:s laboratorium till ett centrum för kemi och teknik samt till genomförandet av OPCW:s beslut om bemötande av hotet från användning av kemiska vapen. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | EU fortsatte att kraftfullt stödja det arbete som utförs av OPCW:s undersökningsuppdrag och gruppen för utvärdering av deklarationen när det gäller att utreda rapporter om användning av kemiska vapen i Syrien och försöka verifiera Syriens deklaration. Mot denna bakgrund antog rådet den 10 december 2018 beslut (Gusp) 2018/1943 (6) som förlängde genomförandeperioden för beslut (Gusp) 2017/2303 (7) för tillhandahållandet av satellitbilder till stöd för OPCW:s verksamhet i Syrien med tolv månader. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | I oktober 2018 antog EU en ny ordning för restriktiva åtgärder i syfte att ta itu med användningen och spridningen av kemiska vapen, genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2018/1544 (8) och rådets förordning (EU) 2018/1542 (9). |

BIOLOGISKA VAPEN

| 36. | Efter överenskommelsen vid mötet mellan de stater som är parter i konventionen om bakteriologiska (biologiska) vapen och toxinvapen (BTWC) den 4–8 december 2017 om arbetsprogrammet för perioden mellan sammanträdena fortsatte EU sitt starka politiska och ekonomiska stöd för konventionens fullständiga och effektiva genomförande och universalisering, inbegripet genom att stödenheten för BTWC:s genomförande på ett övergripande sätt genomförde EU:s fjärde biståndsprogram i enlighet med rådets beslut (Gusp) 2016/51 (10). Två regionala workshoppar anordnades till stöd för universell anslutning till konventionen i Afrika och fyra regionala workshoppar anordnades för att främja dialog om vetenskap och teknik mellan länder i Latinamerika, Asien, Afrika söder om Sahara, Mellanöstern och Nordafrika. Ytterligare sju workshoppar och utbildningar ägde rum i de länder som fått stöd genom utvidgade biståndsprogram för nationellt genomförande av konventionen. |
| --- | --- |

36.

| 37. | EU deltog också aktivt och konstruktivt i diskussionerna under mötet för de stater som är parter i konventionen den 4–7 december 2018. EU bekräftade sitt starka stöd för BTWC som en grundpelare i det regelbaserade internationella systemet, men uttryckte samtidigt djup oro över den kritiska finansiella situationen för konventionen och uppmanade till akuta åtgärder för att garantera finansiell stabilitet och säkerställa ett korrekt genomförande av programmet för perioden mellan sammanträdena. EU välkomnade att processen för arbetet mellan sammanträdena hade inletts och välkomnade också diskussionerna om tekniska aspekter och sakfrågor vid expertmötena om BTWC den 7–16 augusti 2018 samt stödde att uppföljningsåtgärder ska vidtas av mötet mellan konventionsstaterna. Det är därför uppmuntrande att man vid mötet mellan de stater som är parter i BTWC i december kunde nå enighet om åtgärder som ska bidra till att garantera finansiell stabilitet och förutsägbarhet under nästa år. EU kommer trots detta att fortsätta att hålla noggrann uppsikt över den ekonomiska situationen för BTWC, vilken kommer att ses över av mötet mellan konventionsstaterna under 2019. Det är samtidigt beklagligt att man inte kunde enas om viktiga frågor på ett sätt som återspeglar resultatet av expertmötet om BTWC i augusti 2018. EU stödde arbetet vid BTWC-mötena under 2018 genom att lägga fram ett arbetsdokument och anordna flera sidoevenemang. |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | Sedan 2006 har EU tillhandahållit betydande stöd till kärnverksamhet inom ramen för BTWC genom fyra på varandra följande stödprogram. Ett femte beslut till stöd för BTWC för perioden 2019–2022 antogs av rådet i januari 2019. EU:s totala ekonomiska stöd till BTWC kommer därmed att öka till nästan 10 miljoner euro. I detta ingår finansiering för FN:s generalsekreterares mekanism vilket därigenom ger Unoda möjlighet att skicka utsedda kvalificerade experter på utbildningar som anordnas av medlemsstaterna. |

BALLISTISKA MISSILER

Haag-uppförandekoden

| 39. | Den internationella uppförandekoden mot spridning av ballistiska missiler (nedan kallad Haag-uppförandekoden) är resultatet av det internationella samfundets ansträngningar till reglering på området ballistiska missiler som kan bära massförstörelsevapen. Haag-uppförandekoden är det enda multilaterala instrument för öppenhet och ökat förtroende som avser spridningen av ballistiska missiler. EU har gett ett starkt stöd till Haag-uppförandekoden sedan den instiftades. Alla EU-medlemsstater har anslutit sig till den. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Att ansluta sig till Haag-uppförandekoden innebär ett politiskt åtagande att frivilligt föranmäla avfyrande av ballistiska missiler, uppskjutning av bärraketer och testflygningar. De anslutna länderna åtar sig också att lägga fram en årlig förklaring om sin politik avseende ballistiska missiler och bärraketer. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | Sedan undertecknandet och ikraftträdandet av den politiskt bindande Haag-uppförandekoden i november 2002 i Haag i Nederländerna har antalet signatärer ökat från 93 till 139. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | EU spelar en ledande roll när det gäller att främja och stödja universaliseringen, det fullständiga genomförandet och förbättringen av kodens funktion, vilket är kodens tre huvudsyften. Under mer än ett årtionde har rådet inom ramen för Gusp antagit en rad beslut och gemensamma åtgärder som möjliggjort fortsatt EU-stöd för Haag-uppförandekoden och icke-spridning av missiler i allmänhet. Genom dessa rådsbeslut finansierar EU uppsökande verksamhet, bland annat sidoevenemang, forskningsrapporter, expertmöten och regionala informationsseminarier inom ramen för Haag-uppförandekoden. Dessa verksamheter genomförs av Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique, varvid även Haag-uppförandekodens roterande ordförandeskap vanligtvis medverkar. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Genom rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/2370 (11) av den 18 december 2017 fortsätter EU att främja anslutningen till koden och på sikt dess universalisering, stödja ett fullständigt genomförande av koden, främja dialog mellan anslutna och icke-anslutna stater i syfte att bidra till att skapa förtroende och transparens, mana till återhållsamhet samt skapa mer stabilitet och säkerhet för alla, stärka kodens synlighet och öka allmänhetens medvetenhet om de risker och hot som spridning av ballistiska missiler medför och utforska, i synnerhet genom akademiska studier, möjligheterna att förbättra koden och att främja samarbete mellan koden och andra relevanta multilaterala instrument. |

43.

Kontrollsystemet för missilteknik

| 44. | Kontrollsystemet för missilteknik (MTCR) är en informell politisk överenskommelse mellan länder med syftet att begränsa spridningen av missiler och missilteknik; i detta ingår att kategorisera dem som vanligen anses ha förmåga att bära massförstörelsevapen. Riktlinjerna och checklistorna för MTCR utgör en internationell bästa praxis för kontroll av export av missilrelaterade produkter och missilteknik. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | EU stöder antagandet av ett kraftfullare offentligt uttalande för att återspegla internationella farhågor kring Irans och Nordkoreas uppskjutningar av ballistiska robotar och betydande utveckling av missilteknik. När det gäller MTCR är blockeringen av Kroatiens, Cyperns, Estlands, Lettlands, Litauens, Maltas, Rumäniens, Slovakiens och Sloveniens anslutning till systemet fortfarande en viktig fråga för EU. Dessutom är den långvariga avsaknaden av en ordförande för systemet en särskilt angelägen fråga. |

FN:s SÄKERHETSRÅDS RESOLUTION 1540 (2004) OCH MINSKNING AV CBRN-RISKER

| 46. | FN:s säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) är alltjämt en central pelare i det internationella systemet för icke-spridning. Resolutionen är det första internationella instrument som integrerat och övergripande behandlar massförstörelsevapen, bärare av dessa vapen och material med koppling till dessa. I FN:s säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) fastställs bindande skyldigheter för alla länder. Dessa syftar till att förhindra och avhålla icke-statliga aktörer från att få tillgång till sådana vapen och sådant material med koppling till vapen. Enligt resolutionen, som antogs i enlighet med kapitel VII i Förenta nationernas stadga, måste alla länder anta den lagstiftning som krävs för att hindra icke-statliga aktörer från att skaffa kärnvapen, kemiska vapen eller biologiska vapen och för att upprätta lämplig inhemsk kontroll över material med koppling till dessa i syfte att förhindra olaglig handel med dessa. Den övergripande översynen av säkerhetsrådets resolution 1540 (2004) under 2016 bekräftade på nytt resolutionens centrala roll, dess betydelse och dess auktoritet, i enlighet med vad som återspeglas i säkerhetsrådets resolution 2325 (2016). |
| --- | --- |

46.

| 47. | I syfte att bidra till genomförandet av resultatet av den övergripande översynen 2016 och att stödja ett fullständigt genomförande av säkerhetsrådets resolution 1540 antog Europeiska unionens råd den 11 maj 2017 rådets beslut (Gusp) 2017/809 (12) till stöd för genomförande av Förenta nationernas säkerhetsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om icke-spridning av massförstörelsevapen och bärare av dessa. Rådets beslut omfattar en period på 36 månader och genomförs av FN:s kontor för nedrustningsfrågor (Unoda) i New York som har gett OSSE i Wien i uppdrag att genomföra delar av beslutet. EU delar målsättningarna att hjälpa länder att fastställa särskilt tekniskt bistånd, att informera om relevanta program för tekniskt bistånd och att förbättra samarbetet med internationella och regionala organisationer till stöd för nationell kapacitetsuppbyggnad. |
| --- | --- |

47.

| 48. | Initiativet för EU:s kompetenscentrum för minskning av CBRN-risker är ett världsomspännande kapacitetsuppbyggnadsprogram som samlar 61 länder som är grupperade runt åtta regionala sekretariat, belägna i följande regioner: Afrikas Atlantkust, Centralasien, Öst- och Centralafrika, länderna i Gulfstaternas samarbetsråd, Mellanöstern, Nordafrika och Sahel, Sydostasien, Sydöst- och Östeuropa. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | Kompetenscentrumen för minskning av CBRN-risker finansieras inom ramen för instrumentet som bidrar till stabilitet och fred och har som mål att minska riskerna i samband med CBRN-material, stärka partnerländernas beredskap och alstra en säkerhetsorienterad kultur och styrning. Deltagande länder får hjälp med att, på frivillig basis och utifrån en regional ”nedifrån och upp”-strategi, upprätta nationella och regionala strukturer för samordning och styrning. Dessa plattformar utvecklar policyförslag och kapacitet på grundval av särskilda behovsbedömningar och nationella handlingsplaner. De stöds genom flera regionala samarbetsprojekt, som finansieras inom ramen för initiativet, och är öppna för andra finansieringsinstrument. Sedan 2010 har 66 regionala projekt erhållit finansiering. Initiativets budget för tioårsperioden från och med 2010 uppgår till 250 miljoner euro. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | Kompetenscentrumens nätverk är nu väl utvecklat, vilket har gjort det möjligt för EU att genomföra utbildningar i form av skrivbordsövningar och gränsöverskridande övningar på plats inom bland annat civilskydd, incidenthantering, bioskydd och avfallshantering inom ramen för kompetenscentrumens projekt, i syfte att öka synligheten och på ett konkret sätt utvärdera deras inverkan. Dessutom är initiativet nu moget nog för att stödja ytterligare åtgärder med inriktning på säkerhetsstyrningsfrågor avseende it-brottslighet, terrorism, kritisk infrastruktur, förfalskade läkemedel, hybridhot och sprängämnen samt att ytterligare utveckla samarbetet gällande nukleär kriminalteknik, gränskontroll och kontroll av export av produkter med dubbla användningsområden. Modellen med kompetenscentrum har även välkomnats av Europeiska revisionsrätten (13) och sedermera i rådets slutsatser av den 26 oktober 2015 (14). |
| --- | --- |

50.

| 51. | I oktober 2017 lade kommissionen – som en del av ett bredare paket för terrorismbekämpning – fram en handlingsplan för att förbättra beredskapen mot kemiska, biologiska, radiologiska och nukleära säkerhetsrisker. I den nya handlingsplanen, som bygger på de resultat som åstadkommits genom EU:s CBRN-handlingsplan 2010–2015, föreslås en bred uppsättning åtgärder för att förbättra beredskapen, motståndskraften och samordningen på EU-nivå. I handlingsplanen föreslås inrättandet av en mer säkerhetsinriktad CBRN-arkitektur på EU-nivå, och man betonar behovet av att utnyttja befintliga resurser på ett bättre sätt och att slå samman befintlig sakkunskap. Handlingsplanen uppmanar också till en förstärkning av EU:s beredskap och reaktionsförmåga när det gäller CBRN genom gräns- och sektorsöverskridande utbildning och övningar. Behovet av att när så är nödvändigt involvera gräns- och tullmyndigheter och militära partner framhålls. I handlingsplanen betonas också vikten av en nära koppling mellan interna och externa säkerhetsrelaterade aktiviteter på CBRN-området samt samarbete med specialiserade multilaterala organisationer såsom IAEA, OPCW och Interpol. Genomförandet av handlingsplanen kommer att stödjas finansiellt via Fonden för inre säkerhet (polisdelen). |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | Handlingsplanen för CBRN har erhållit vetenskapligt och tekniskt stöd från en rad olika forskningsprojekt, som finansierats av programmet Secure Society inom sjunde ramprogrammet. Forskningen omfattar hela krishanteringscykeln från förebyggande till återhämtning. Insatser för att fastställa standardiseringsbehov skulle kunna leda till europeiska standarder. Horisont 2020-programmet kommer att stärka det pågående arbetet inom CBRN-forskningen genom fokuserade teman. |

TANKESMEDJOR

| 53. | Med utgångspunkt i rådets beslut nr 2010/430/Gusp av den 26 juli 2010 (15) har genomförandet av EU:s strategi mot spridning av massförstörelsevapen aktivt stötts av EU-konsortiet för icke-spridning, som inledde sin verksamhet i januari 2011. Den 26 februari 2018 antog rådet beslut (Gusp) 2018/299 (16), som ytterligare förlänger EU:s stöd till konsortiets verksamhet under perioden 2018–2021 genom att bygga vidare på de resultat som hittills uppnåtts och genom att lägga till nya projekt. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Konsortiets verksamhet innebar ett ökat synliggörande av EU gentemot tredje länder och det civila samhället och bidrog avsevärt till utformningen av EU:s politik på områdena icke-spridning och nedrustning. Konsortiet utgör en plattform för informella kontakter mellan personer som är verksamma på fältet och hjälper till att främja en dialog mellan olika aktörer. Dess verksamhet har bidragit till att öka medvetenheten om de utmaningar som massförstörelsevapen och konventionella vapen medför. Konsortiet har ett omfattande nätverk med mer än 70 tankesmedjor i hela Europa. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | Den sjunde EU-konferensen om icke-spridning och nedrustning anordnades av EU-konsortiet för icke-spridning i Bryssel den 18–19 december 2018. |

EXPORTKONTROLL

| 56. | Under 2018 fortsatte EU att regelbundet uppdatera sina förordningar för att avspegla utvecklingen inom multilaterala exportkontrollsystem. Europeiska kommissionen antog därför en delegerad förordning den 10 oktober 2018 (17) genom vilken EU:s kontrollförteckning uppdaterades i enlighet med de beslut som fattats inom multilaterala exportkontrollsystem under 2017, och ändringar infördes gällande t.ex. kontroll av genetiska beståndsdelar och genetiskt modifierade organismer, mät- eller inspektionssystem, högenergiceller, intrångsprogram och rymduppskjutningsfarkoster. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Samordningsgruppen för varor med dubbla användningsområden fortsatte att stödja ett effektivt och konsekvent genomförande av exportkontroller i EU. Nya funktionaliteter infördes i det ”elektroniska systemet för dubbla användningsområden”, vilket förbättrade informationsutbytet och det tekniska utbytet inom EU. EU inledde en process för att definiera riktlinjer för industrins efterlevnad och genomförde ett offentligt samråd om detta ämne under oktober–november 2018. EU inledde också ett projekt om ”elektronisk tillståndsgivning” för att stödja de behöriga myndigheternas användning av elektroniska tillståndssystem. En årsrapport (18) offentliggjordes för att säkerställa insyn i fråga om exportkontroll och tillståndsverksamhet, och ett forum om exportkontroll anordnades den 13 december 2018 för berörda aktörer från medlemsstaterna, industrin och civilsamhället (19). |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Översynen av EU:s politik för exportkontroll fortsatte. Rådet och Europaparlamentet förde en engagerad diskussion om kommissionens lagstiftningsförslag om modernisering av EU:s exportkontroll och dess anpassning till snabbt föränderliga tekniska, ekonomiska och politiska omständigheter. Europaparlamentet antog en ståndpunkt vid första behandlingen den 17 januari 2018 samtidigt som diskussionerna fortsatte i rådet. Kommissionen antog dessutom ett beredskapsförslag inför brexit den 19 december 2018 för att mildra de potentiella effekterna av brexit om man inte kan enas om ett utträdesavtal (COM(2018) 891). |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | EU:s ståndpunkter och uttalanden samordnades på lämpligt sätt inför relevanta möten inom systemen för exportkontroll: plenarmötet i gruppen av länder som levererar kärnmaterial i Jurmala (den 11–15 juni 2018) och plenarmötet i Australiengruppen i Paris (den 7–8 juni 2018). |
| --- | --- |

59.

| 60. | Genomförandet av EU:s program för exportkontroll (EU P2P) för att förbättra effektiviteten i systemen för kontroll av export av produkter med dubbla användningsområden och därtill hörande material, utrustning och teknik fortsatte. Programmet omfattar för närvarande 36 länder från sex regioner. Under 2017 utvidgades det för att möjliggöra samarbete med Libanon. Två nya regionala initiativ, de riktade initiativen för exportkontroll, som omfattar 12 länder inleddes under 2017 och 2018 med det vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Ukraina och det internationella vetenskapliga och tekniska centrumet i Kazakstan. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | Den intensiva samordningen av EU:s P2P-program för exportkontroll med det amerikanska utrikesministeriets program för exportkontroll och gränssäkerhet fortsatte. Gemensamma seminarier för EU och Förenta staterna anordnades för att fastställa gemensamma effektindikatorer och samordna assistans på plats. Under 2018 anordnade EU den andra dialogen om styrning av exportkontroll – en konferens som på nytt sammanförde de fyra systemen för exportkontroll med partnerorganisationer och länder. Ett årligt EU P2P-sommaruniversitetet organiseras för partner till EU:s uppsökande program för exportkontroll. Webbportalen för EU P2P (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) fortsatte att fungera som en plattform för EU:s samtliga uppsökande program för kontroll av export av varor med militär användning och dubbla användningsområden, med syftet att behovsanpassa informationsutbytet med EU:s partnerländer. Programmet finansieras genom instrumentet som bidrar till stabilitet och fred. |

RYMDEN

| 62. | EU uppmanade till fortsatt arbete med förhindrande av kapprustning i yttre rymden, med principerna för ansvarsfullt beteende i yttre rymden och med öppenhet och förtroendeskapande åtgärder. EU stödde det arbete som utfördes i FN:s rymdkommittés arbetsgrupp för långsiktig hållbarhet för verksamhet i yttre rymden. Eftersom riktlinjerna för långsiktig hållbarhet för verksamhet i yttre rymden inte antogs under 2018 kommer EU att fortsätta att samarbeta med alla parter för att slutföra förhandlingarna. |

| 63. | I juni deltog EU med gott resultat i högnivåsegmentet vid Unispace+50 i Wien, som anordnades av FN:s rymdkommitté. I sitt uttalande underströk EU vikten av åtgärder för öppenhet och förtroendeskapande och av att främja principer om ansvarsfullt beteende i yttre rymden inom ramen för Förenta nationerna. EU framhöll värdet av att enas om ett icke rättsligt bindande instrument som ett sätt att uppnå dessa mål. EU och dess medlemsstater verkade också för rymdsäkerhet i gruppen med myndighetsexperter för förhindrande av kapprustning i yttre rymden, vid nedrustningskonferensen, inbegripet dess hjälporgan nr 3, i FN:s nedrustningskommission och i FN:s generalförsamling. EU kommer att sträva efter att säkerställa att rådets slutsatser från december 2017 och februari 2018 om Unispace+50 återspeglas i rymdagendan för 2030 och dess genomförandeplan, vilka ska läggas fram för FN:s generalförsamling under 2020–2021. |

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