Gadskārtējais progresa ziņojums par to, kā tiek īstenota Eiropas Savienības Stratēģija masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (2018)

(2019/C 202/01)

IEVADS

| 1. | Šis progresa ziņojums par to, kā tiek īstenota Eiropadomes 2003. gada decembrī pieņemtā Eiropas Savienības Stratēģija masu iznīcināšanas ieroču (MII) izplatīšanas novēršanai (dok. 15708/03) attiecas uz 2018. gadā veiktajām darbībām. Ziņojums nav izsmeļošs, un tajā uzmanība tiek pievērsta galvenajām norisēm. Visas darbības tika īstenotas plašākā ES drošības politikas un konfliktu novēršanas kontekstā. |

KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

| 5. | ES ir pilnībā apņēmusies veicināt universalizāciju un to, lai pilnībā, visaptveroši un efektīvi tiktu īstenots Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgums (KNL), drīzumā stātos spēkā Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) un Tuvajos Austrumos tiktu izveidota no masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem un to nogādes sistēmām brīva zona. ES prioritāte joprojām ir tas, lai atbruņošanās konferencē sāktu un drīzumā noslēgtu sarunas attiecībā uz līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus. |

Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgums un Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra

| 6. | Tika turpināts KNL pārskatīšanas cikls, proti, no 2018. gada 23. aprīļa līdz 4. maijam Ženēvā notika KNL pušu 2020. gada pārskatīšanas konferences sagatavošanas komitejas otrā sesija. ES sniedza četrus paziņojumus – vienu vispārīgajās debatēs un trīs – attiecīgi debatēs par kodolatbruņošanos, neizplatīšanu un izmantošanu miermīlīgiem mērķiem; tika sniegts arī īpašs paziņojums, ar ko atbalsta no MII brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos. Turklāt ES rīkoja divus blakuspasākumus: pirmo par ES atbalstu Līgumam par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu un šā līguma organizācijai un otro – par KNL priekšrocībām, kurā galveno uzmanību pievērsa starptautiskajai sadarbībai attiecībā uz radioaktīvo avotu drošību to dzīves cikla laikā. ES arī iesniedza darba dokumentus par kodolatbruņošanās pārbaudi un par skaldmateriālu ražošanas aizlieguma līgumu. Visas ES dalībvalstis atbalstīja paziņojumu, kurā pievērsās Ziemeļkorejas kodoldrošības problemātikai. ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas Pirmās komitejas 73. sesijā par atbruņošanos un starptautisko drošību ES deva ieguldījumu visās relevantajās debatēs, tostarp tematiskajā diskusijā par kodolieročiem. |

| 7. | ES turpināja atbalstīt SAEA pamatpienākumus, kas attiecas uz neizplatīšanu, kodolenerģiju, kodoldrošumu, kodoldrošību un tehnisko sadarbību. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | ES dod ieguldījumu SAEA Kodoldrošības plāna 2018.–2021. gadam īstenošanā, izmantojot Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2016/2383 (1), ar ko – finansē SAEA darbības ar mērķi panākt starptautisko neizplatīšanas un kodoldrošības instrumentu universalizāciju; palīdz valstīm nodrošināt tāda vietēja tehniska un zinātniska atbalsta pieejamību, kā arī tādu cilvēkresursu attīstību, kuri vajadzīgi efektīvai un noturīgai kodoldrošībai; stiprina novēršanas, atklāšanas, reaģēšanas un aizsardzības spējas, lai iedzīvotājus, īpašumu, vidi un sabiedrību pasargātu no noziedzīgām vai tīšām neatļautām darbībām, kas ir saistītas ar kodolmateriāliem vai citiem radioaktīviem materiāliem, kuri nav regulatīvā kontrolē; stiprina kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu nelikumīgas tirdzniecības atklāšanu un rīcību saistībā ar to; sekmē datordrošību kodoljomā; stiprina radioaktīvo avotu drošību, lai valstīs, kurām vajadzīgs atbalsts, gādātu par to nogādāšanu drošās glabāšanas vietās, cita starpā atgriežot tos izcelsmes vai piegādātājā valstī; stiprina kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu fizisko aizsardzību. |

9.

| 10. | Līdztekus ES un SAEA piektajai augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmei 2017. gada 15. februārī KPC un SAEA parakstīja “Praktisko sadarbības kārtību kodolenerģijas zinātnes pielietojumu jomā”, kuras mērķis ir izstrādāt kopīgus pasākumus un novērst centienu dublēšanos. Viena no šajā praktiskās sadarbības kārtībā iekļautajām darbībām ir vides radioaktivitātes monitorings, kuru veic visā Eiropā un vairākās citās pasaules vietās, mērot gammas starojuma vidējo devu un maksimumus beidzamo 24 stundu laikā. Šo mērījumu pamatā ir dati no aptuveni 5 500 monitoringa stacijām, kuras ekspluatē kompetentās valstu iestādes 39 valstīs, kas jaunākos radioloģiskos mērījumus nodod Eiropas Radioloģisko datu apmaiņas platformai (EURDEP). Paziņojumus par radiācijas noplūdēm vai ārkārtas situācijām nodod, izmantojot agrīno paziņojumu tīklus, piemēram, ECURIE vai EMERCON, kurus attiecīgi ekspluatē Eiropas Komisija un SAEA, pēc konsultēšanās ar kompetentajām valstu iestādēm. 2018. gadā cita starpā ir veiktas tādas darbības kā saskaņotu ārkārtas situāciju sagatavotības un reaģēšanas procedūru izstrāde, līdzdalība mācībās (ConvEx, ECUREX), atbalsts Starptautiskajai Radiācijas monitoringa informācijas sistēmai (datu apmaiņas testēšana ar papildu Eiropas valstīm, reģionālā monitoringa datu apmaiņa). |

10.

| 11. | Būtisks globālās kodolneizplatīšanas arhitektūras elements un daudzpusējās diplomātijas sasniegums ir Kopīgais visaptverošais rīcības plāns (KVRP). Eiropas drošībai ir svarīgi, lai vienošanos turpinātu pilnībā un efektīvi īstenot. ES, koordinējot Kopīgās komisijas un vairāku KVRP paspārnē izveidoto ekspertu līmeņa darba grupu darbu, turpina sekmēt KVRP īstenošanu. ES arī turpina pilnībā atbalstīt SAEA, proti, tās ilgtermiņa misiju – pārbaudīt un uzraudzīt saistības, ko Irāna uzņēmusies saistībā ar kodoljautājumiem. ES kopš 2016. gada ir iesaistījusies KVRP III pielikuma īstenošanā, jo īpaši izmantojot projektus, ar ko uzlabo kodoldrošumu. Jau ir piešķirti 15 miljoni EUR civilnukleārajai sadarbībai ar Irānu un ir noslēgti līgumi par trīs projektiem, ar ko tiek sniegts atbalsts Irānas kodolenerģijas regulatoram un Būšehras atomelektrostacijas ekspluatantam. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | Civilnukleārā sadarbība ar Irānu ir viens no galvenajiem KVRP pīlāriem un centrāls elements ES iesaistes politikā attiecībā uz Irānu. Tā palīdz labāk izprast Irānas civilnukleārās vajadzības un pakāpeniski veidot uzticēšanos tam, ka Irānas kodolprogramma būtībā ir miermīlīga. ES un Irānas sadarbība 2018. gadā ietvēra biežus augsta līmeņa kontaktus politikas jautājumos, kuros jo īpaši uzmanība tika pievērsta – kodolpārvaldībai; kopējam darbsemināram par civilo kodolatbildību un apdrošināšanu; projektiem, ar ko atbalsta Irānas kodolenerģijas regulatora centienus leģislatīvajā un regulatīvajā jomā normatīvus pieskaņot starptautiskajiem standartiem; zinātniskiem semināriem un tehniskiem ES Kopīgā pētniecības centra kodolobjektu un laboratoriju apmeklējumiem; starptautiskajām konferencēm, kurās piedalās kodoljomā ieinteresētās personas; projektiem, ar ko atbalsta Arākas pētniecības reaktora (Hondāba) modernizāciju un Fordovas kodolobjekta pārveidi par kodoljautājumu, fizikas un tehnoloģiju centru. Irāna joprojām bija galvenais ES palīdzības saņēmējs kodoldrošības jomā. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Visaptverošais garantiju nolīgums un tā papildprotokoli ir pašreizējais pārbaužu standarts, un ES turpina aicināt nekavējoties tos vispārēji ievērot. Ciešā Euratom un SAEA sadarbība ļauj nodrošināt efektīvas un iedarbīgas garantijas. ES ar Eiropas Komisijas Garantiju atbalsta programmu, Instrumentu sadarbībai kodoldrošuma jomā un dalībvalstu atbalsta programmām aktīvi atbalsta SAEA garantiju sistēmu. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | ES un tās dalībvalstis uzskata, ka ir ārkārtīgi svarīgi pasaules mērogā īstenot un nepārtraukti uzlabot kodoldrošību. ES ar grozīto Kodoldrošuma direktīvu, kas stājās spēkā 2017. gadā, ir piešķīrusi juridisku spēku Vīnes kodoldrošuma deklarācijas mērķiem. Viens no grozītās direktīvas galvenajiem elementiem ir drošuma mērķa ieviešana attiecībā uz visiem ekspluatantiem, lai novērstu negadījumus un izvairītos no būtiskiem radioaktīviem izmešiem. Ar grozītajām direktīvām Euratom tiesību akti tiek papildināti arī ar tematiskām salīdzinošām novērtēšanām. Pirmā Eiropas tematiskā salīdzinošā novērtēšana jau ir sekmīgi īstenota. Visas ES dalībvalstis jaunās prasības ir transponējušas savos valstu tiesību aktos. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | Lai veicinātu kodolenerģijas izmantošanu miermīlīgiem mērķiem, ES laikposmā no 2014. līdz 2020. gadam ir piešķīrusi EUR 325 miljonus tam, lai sekmētu kodoldrošumu, aizsardzību pret radiāciju un efektīvu un iedarbīgu garantiju piemērošanu trešās valstīs. Eiropas Komisija sadarbībā ar SAEA un citiem partneriem atbalsta stratēģiskā ģenerālplāna vides atveseļošanai Vidusāzijā īstenošanu, un tā kopā ar Kirgizstānas Republiku atbalstīja starptautiskās līdzekļu devēju konferences sanākšanu 2018. gada 8. novembrī, kur ģenerālplāna īstenošanai dalībnieki apņēmās novirzīt vairāk nekā 17 miljonus EUR. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | ES un tās dalībvalstis joprojām stingri atbalsta SAEA Tehniskās sadarbības programmu, tostarp sniedzot būtisku ieguldījumu Tehniskās sadarbības fondā un miermīlīga izmantojuma iniciatīvā. ES un tās dalībvalstis ir otrais lielākais atbalstītājs Tehniskās sadarbības programmai, kas ir būtisks instruments, ar ko nodrošināt drošuma un drošības standartiem atbilstošu kodoltehnoloģiju izmantošanu miermīlīgiem mērķiem un ar ko panākt Ilgtspējīgas attīstības programmas 2030. gadam mērķu sasniegšanu. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | ES un SAEA rīkoja gadskārtējo augstākā līmeņa amatpersonu sanāksmi, lai pārskatītu un plānotu plaša mēroga sadarbību. Beidzamo sanāksmi 2018. gada 8. februārī Vīnē rīkoja SAEA. Diskusijās pievērsās sadarbības stiprināšanai kodoldrošuma, kodoldrošības, kodolgarantiju, ilgtspējīgas attīstības, kodolenerģijas, pētniecības un inovācijas vairošanas jautājumos. Savienības Augstajai pārstāvei ārlietās un drošības politikas jautājumos un Komisijas priekšsēdētāja vietniecei (AP/PV) martā bija diskusijas ar SAEA ģenerāldirektoru. |

Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu

| 18. | Svarīgs ES Stratēģijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai mērķis ir panākt CTBT drīzu stāšanos spēkā un tā vispārīgumu. Visas ES dalībvalstis, ratificējot līgumu un piemērojot tā pamatpienākumus, ir apliecinājušas, ka tās iestājas par CTBT. CTBT ir spēcīgs uzticības un drošības veicināšanas pasākums. ES konsekventi popularizē līguma ieguvumus un pievienoto vērtību, ko tas rada miera, drošības, atbruņošanās un neizplatīšanas jomā, tostarp tā civilos pielietojumus, un finansiāli atbalsta CTBT organizācijas (CTBTO) sagatavošanas komisiju. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | Padome 2018. gada 26. februārī pieņēma Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/298 (2) par Savienības atbalstu CTBTO sagatavošanas komisijas darbībām, lai nostiprinātu tās uzraudzības un pārbaudes spējas. Finansiālais atbalsts vairāk nekā 4,5 miljonu EUR apmērā divu gadu laikposmam ir paredzēts: sertificētām seismiskām palīgstacijām, kas ir daļa no CTBTO Starptautiskās uzraudzības sistēmas; cēlgāzu paraugu ņemšanas sistēmu izstrādei, ko veic, pētot materiālus labākai ksenona adsorbcijai; radioaktīvā ksenona fona mērīšanas kampaņas turpināšanai dažādos pasaules reģionos; prognožu kopuma sistēmai (Ensemble Prediction System), ar ko var skaitliski noteikt mērījumu nenoteiktību un ticamības pakāpi pārneses atmosfērā modelēšanas (ATM) simulācijās; ATM rīku izšķirtspējas palielināšanas zinātniskajai izvērtēšanai; jaunas programmatūras izstrādei; uz vietas veiktu pārbaužu uzlabošanai attiecībā uz cēlgāzu apstrādi un atklāšanu; automātiskās apstrādes un integrēšanas spēju uzlabošanai saistībā ar seismisku, hidroakustisku un infraskaņas datu glabāšanu valsts datu centrā (data centre-in-a-box); integrētiem saziņas un spēju veidošanas pasākumiem, kas vērsti uz parakstītājvalstīm un valstīm, kas nav parakstījušas līgumu. ES un tās dalībvalstis, sniedzot tehnisku atbalstu un konsultācijas CTBTO darba grupā “B” un citos darbsemināros un semināros, arī dod ieguldījumu CTBT pārbaudes režīma uzturēšanā un stiprināšanā. |

19.

| 20. | Pēc tam, kad attiecīgu uzaicinājumu bija paudusi CTBT draugu grupa, kurā ietilpst Austrālija, Japāna, Kanāda, Nīderlande, Somija un Vācija, ES AP/PV 2018. gada 27. septembrī Ņujorkā piedalījās devītajā ministru sanāksmē, kur viņa nāca klajā ar saskaņotu ES paziņojumu. EĀDD īpašais sūtnis atbruņošanās un neizplatīšanas jautājumos Augstās pārstāves vārdā kopā ar CTBTO izpildsekretāru un ārlietu ministru piedalījās augsta līmeņa konferencē “Pasaule bez kodolizmēģinājumiem: solījuma izpildīšana”, kuru 2018. gada 22. maijā rīkoja Beļģija. CTBTO izpildsekretārs Dr. Lassina Zerbo šajā pasākumā, kuru rīkoja Beļģijas premjerministra vietnieks un ārlietu un Eiropas lietu ministrs Didjē Reinderss (Didier Reynders), nāca klajā ar programmatisku uzrunu. ES 2018. gada maijā piedalījās CTBTO zinātnes un diplomātijas simpozijā. |

| 21. | Eiropas Savienība starptautiskos forumos un sanāksmēs ar valstīm, kas vēl nav parakstījušas vai ratificējušas CTBT līgumu, izmanto katru iespēju iestāties par tā ratifikāciju un turpina izmantot diplomātiskus līdzekļus, lai sekmētu CTBT stāšanos spēkā attiecīgajās valstīs. ES speciālās zināšanas un finansējums var palīdzēt valstīm, kurām trūkst resursu, lai realizētu Līguma noteikumu īstenošanu. ES atzinīgi novērtēja ratifikāciju, ko 2018. gadā pabeidza Taizeme. Jautājums par CTBT tika skatīts divpusējos ES politiskos un neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās dialogos ar Indiju, Pakistānu un ASV. |

Iniciatīvas saistībā ar kodoldrošību

| 22. | ES 2018. gadā nolēma atbalstīt, arī finansiāli, vienu no globālās terorisma apkarošanas un kodoldrošības arhitektūras galvenajiem elementiem – Starptautisko konvenciju par kodolterorisma apkarošanu (ICSANT). Atbalsta mērķi ir palielināt ICSANT piekritēju skaitu, vairot valsts politikas veidotāju un lēmumu pieņēmēju informētību, kā arī veidot spējas: lai palīdzētu uzlabot valsts tiesību aktus un stiprināt valstu ieinteresēto personu, tostarp krimināljustīcijas amatpersonu, spējas izmeklēt, izvirzīt apsūdzību un izskatīt kodolterorisma lietas. Padome 10. decembrī pieņēma Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/1939 (3) par Savienības atbalstu ICSANT universalizācijai un efektīvai īstenošanai. ES trīs gadu laikposmā Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Narkotiku un noziedzības novēršanas birojam un Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Terorisma apkarošanas birojam novirzīs gandrīz piecus miljonus EUR. Padomes lēmums sekmēs ICSANT universalizāciju un efektīvu īstenošanu, proti, – izstrādās un uzturēs ar paroli aizsargātu tīmekļa vietni visiem ICSANT resursiem, tostarp valsts tiesību aktu paraugiem; izstrādās e-mācību moduli par ICSANT, kuru paredzēts iztulkot vismaz četrās ANO oficiālajās valodās; sniegs attiecīgu palīdzību likumdošanas jomā; veidos attiecīgo ieinteresēto personu spējas, ietverot krimināljustīcijas amatpersonas, kas varētu tikt iesaistītas tādu lietu izmeklēšanā, kriminālvajāšanā un iztiesāšanā, kuras ietver kodolmateriālus un citus radioaktīvos materiālus, uz ko attiecas ICSANT; rīkos globālus un reģionālus darbseminārs un valstu apmeklējumus un apkopos un izplatīs labu praksi. |

22.

| 23. | ES turpināja atbalstīt Globālo kodolterorisma apkarošanas iniciatīvu (GICNT) un tās pamatuzdevumu – stiprināt globālās spējas novērst un atklāt kodolterorismu un reaģēt uz to. ES piedalījās GICNT Īstenošanas un izvērtējumu grupas sanāksmē (2018. gada 11. un 12. jūnijā), kuru rīkoja Somija; Kodolatklāšanas darba grupa Bilthovenā, Nīderlandē 2018. gada 25. un 26. janvārī rīkoja divu dienu ekspertu sanāksmi. ES un tās dalībvalstis ir aktīvi iesaistījušās GICNT Īstenošanas un izvērtējumu grupas darbā visās jomās – kodolatklāšanā, kodolmateriālu kriminālistikā, reaģēšanā un seku mazināšanā. ES ir aktīvi devusi ieguldījumu visu IAG darba grupu atsauces dokumentu saturā. Eiropas Savienība un tās dalībvalstis rīko pasākumus un piedalās tajos, lai palīdzētu sekmēt starptautisku izpratni par kodoldrošību un apņemšanos saistībā ar to; kā piemērus var minēt: darbseminārs Blue Lion – atjaunošanas un seku pārvaldības darbseminārs un ekspertu sanāksme, ko 2018. gada 6. –8. februārī rīkoja Apvienotā Karaliste; darbseminārs Fierce Falcon – radioloģisko avotu drošības un zādzību reaģēšanas darbseminārs, ko sadarbībā ar GICNT un ASV Enerģētikas ministriju 2018. gada 10.–12. aprīlī rīkoja Ungārija; un darbseminārs Sentinel II – nacionālo kodoldrošības mācību programmu izstrāde, kuru sadarbībā ar Apvienoto Karalisti 2018. gada 9.–11. oktobrī rīkoja Lietuva. |

| 24. | Kopš 2013. gada Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstu un partnervalstu – tostarp vairāku GICNT dalībnieku – vajadzībām darbību pilnībā izvērsis ir ES Kodoldrošības apmācības centrs ar kodolmateriāliem un citiem radioaktīviem materiāliem veiktu nelikumīgu darbību atklāšanai un reaģēšanai (EUSECTRA). Šo centru ciešā sadarbībā ar citām starptautiskām iniciatīvām, ko sekmē Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra un vairākas GICNT partnervalstis, vada ES Kopīgais pētniecības centrs (KPC), izmantojot savus objektus Karlsrūē (Vācijā) un Isprā (Itālijā). Centru izmanto arī praktiskām mācībām, kas galvenokārt saistītas ar vēršanos pret kodolmateriālu kontrabandu. EUSECTRA aktīvi darbojas ES dalībvalstu un ES partneru apmācību vajadzību jomā, tostarp attiecībā uz augstu vērtētajām dalībvalstu deleģētajiem pārstāvjiem paredzētajām koordinētajām apmācībām muitas un tiesībaizsardzības jomā, kuras jau ir īstenotas un plānotas 2019.–2021. gadam (tiešā sadarbībā ar Komisijas Migrācijas un iekšlietu ģenerāldirektorātu un Nodokļu politikas un muitas savienības ģenerāldirektorātu), turklāt EUSECTRA pēc dalībvalstu pieprasījuma sniedz ekipējuma veiktspējas novērtējumu. |

| 25. | Eiropas Komisija un ES dalībvalstis, KPC objektā Karlsrūē (Vācijā) izmantojot modernās izmeklēšanas metodes kriminālistiskās kodolekspertīzes jomā, turpināja kriminālistiskās kodolekspertīzes darbības, lai identificētu pārtverto kodolmateriālu pamatiezīmes. Kopumā ir pārbaudīti vairāk nekā 50 incidentos atklātie un konfiscētie kodolmateriāli, tādējādi atbalstot kompetentās iestādes ES dalībvalstīs un arī citur. |

Iniciatīvas saistībā ar kodolpārbaudi

| 26. | ES un tās dalībvalstis atbalstīja ANO ĢA 2016. gada rezolūciju par kodolatbruņošanās pārbaudi, kurā tiek prasīts izveidot valdību ekspertu grupu, kas apsvērtu pārbaudes lomu kodolatbruņošanās sekmēšanā, un sekojošo Pirmās komitejas 2017. gada lēmumu paturēt šo jautājumu darba kārtībā. ES atbalsta plašāku partnerību darbu un sadarbībā balstītus pārbaudes mehānismus un ir piedalījusies Starptautiskās partnerības kodolatbruņošanās pārbaudes jomā (IPNDV) darbā kopš tās darbības sākšanas 2015. gadā. ES turpināja aktīvi iesaistīties IPNDV II fāzē, proti, ES (EĀDD, Eiropas Komisijas Kopīgais pētniecības centrs un Komisijas Enerģētikas ģenerāldirektorāts) piedalījās darba grupu sanāksmēs, kas 2018. gada 26.–28. martā notika Stokholmā un 10.–12. jūlijā – Seulā, kā arī Londonas plenārsēdē, kura norisinājās 3.–7. decembrī. Par galvenajiem mērķiem ir noteikts būtisks atbalsts ANO Valdību ekspertu grupai kodolatbruņošanās pārbaudes jautājumos un Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma 2020. gada pārskatīšanas konferencei. |

Reģionālie jautājumi

| 27. | Notiekošie diplomātijas centieni veidot kontaktus ar Korejas Tautas Demokrātisko Republiku ir pozitīva virzība, kas sekmē spriedzes mazināšanos Korejas pussalā. ES mudina KTDR nopietni iesaistīties turpmākās sarunās un pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski izbeigt savas kodolieroču, masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmas, nekavējoties pārtraukt visas saistītās darbības un drīzumā atgriezties pie Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma un SAEA kodolgarantiju ievērošanas, un bez vilcināšanās parakstīt un ratificēt Līgumu par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | Kamēr KTDR neveiks konkrētus denuklearizācijas pasākumus, ES turpinās stingri pildīt spēkā esošās sankcijas, un aicina visas valstis rīkoties tāpat. ES ir transponējusi visas ANO DP rezolūcijas attiecībā uz KTDR, turklāt tā pret KTDR ir vērsusi pati savu autonomu sankciju režīmu, kas papildina un pastiprina ANO ierobežojošos pasākumus. ES sarakstā autonomi iekļāvusi kopumā 59 personas. ES ir iesaldējusi 9 vienību aktīvus kā daļu no sava sankciju režīma. Turklāt ES ir iesaistījusies plašos diplomātiskos pasākumos, lai uzsvērtu, ka visām ANO dalībvalstīm ir stingri jāīsteno visas attiecīgās ANO Drošības padomes rezolūcijas. Vajadzības gadījumā ES ir gatava sniegt konkrētu atbalstu, lai palīdzētu veidot sankciju izpildes spējas. |

Atbruņošanās konference (CD) / Līgums par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus

| 29. | ES joprojām ir vienota un apņēmības pilna panākt pārbaudāmu līgumos balstītu kodolatbruņošanos un ieroču kontroli un uzsver vajadzību atjaunot daudzpusējos centienus un daudzpusējās sarunu vešanas struktūras, jo īpaši Atbruņošanās konferenci (CD). ES pauž gandarījumu par būtisko darbu, kas saskaņā ar pakļautajām struktūrām doto mandātu ir veikts, lai panāktu saprašanos par jomām, kurās ir kopīgas iezīmes, lai padziļinātu tehniskās pārrunas un paplašinātu jomas, kurās ir vienošanās, un apsvērtu efektīvus pasākumus, tostarp juridiskos instrumentus attiecībā uz sarunām par četriem nozīmīgiem ziņojumiem un to pieņemšanu, kas varētu veidot stabilu pamatu turpmākajam darbam 2019. gadā. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 30. | Ilglaicīga ES prioritāte Atbruņošanās konferencē ir, pamatojoties uz dokumentu CD/1299 un tajā iekļauto pilnvarojumu, nekavējoties sākt sarunas attiecībā uz līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču vai citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus (FMCT). ES uzteic Kanādu par FMCT augsta līmeņa darba sagatavošanas ekspertu grupas darba novešanu līdz konsensuālam iznākumam un atzinīgi vērtē iekļaujošo konsultatīvo procesu, kas izveidots ar Ģenerālās asamblejas Rezolūciju 71/259, lai ņemtu vērā plašāka ANO dalībvalstu loka viedokļus. ES sniedz būtisku finansiālu atbalstu ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojam (UNODA), lai atvieglotu Āfrikas, Āzijas, Latīņamerikas un Karību jūras reģiona valstu piedalīšanos ar FMCT saistītās konsultācijās un citās darbībās. ES aicina visus CD dalībniekus nekavējoties sākt sarunas par FMCT un sākt darbu pie citiem darba kārtības jautājumiem. ES mudina visas valstis, kurām ir kodolieroči un kuras to vēl nav darījušas, pasludināt un ievērot tūlītēju moratoriju attiecībā uz kodolieroču vai citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētu skaldmateriālu ražošanu, ja tās to vēl nav darījušas. Abas Eiropas kodolieroču valstis ir pasludinājušas attiecīgus moratorijus un demontējušas vai pārveidojušas šādas iekārtas. |

ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

| 31. | ES turpināja sniegt atbalstu Ķīmisko ieroču aizlieguma organizācijai (OPCW), lai nodrošinātu Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas (CWC) pilnīgu un efektīvu īstenošanu un universālu ievērošanu. Padome 2018. gada 16. aprīlī pieņēma secinājumus, kuros atkārtoti pausts ES stingrais atbalsts attiecībā uz ķīmisko atbruņošanos un ķīmisko ieroču neizplatīšanu un izklāstītas ES nostājas CWC Pušu konferences ceturtajai īpašajai sesijai nolūkā pārskatīt CWC darbību 2018. gada 21.–30. novembrī. Šajā sakarā ES aktīvi un konstruktīvi iesaistījās CWC ceturtās pārskatīšanas konferences sagatavošanā un darbā, lai nodrošinātu Konvencijas nozīmīgumu un palielinātu tās efektivitāti un spējas, tostarp pievērstos esošajiem un nākotnes izaicinājumiem. Neraugoties uz to, ka nebija konsensuāla pārskatīšanas konferences noslēguma dokumenta, ES joprojām bija apņēmusies stingri atbalstīt OPCW pilnvaras un darbu. Šajā sakarā ES atzinīgi vērtēja lēmumus par OPCW 2019. gada programmu un budžetu, kas nodrošina stingru un stabilu pamatu tam, lai OPCW Tehniskais sekretariāts tiktu galā ar turpmākajiem daudzveidīgajiem uzdevumiem un izaicinājumiem. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | Turklāt ES stingri atbalstīja iniciatīvu rīkot CWC Pušu konferences īpašo sesiju 2018. gada 26. un 27. jūnijā, lai saglabātu un uzturētu CWC un globālo aizliegumu izmantot ķīmiskos ieročus. Konference bija atbilstīga reakcija uz šo ieroču atkārtotu izmantošanu kopš 2012. gada Sīrijā, Irākā, Malaizijā un Lielbritānijas un Ziemeļīrijas Apvienotajā Karalistē. Tāpēc ES atzinīgi vērtēja to, ka 2018. gada 27. jūnijā ir pieņemts OPCW Lēmums C-SS-4/DEC.3 “Pievēršanās ķīmisko ieroču radītā apdraudējuma jautājumam”. Eiropadome 28. jūnija secinājumos pauda ES apņemšanos atbalstīt īpašās konferences lēmuma īstenošanu. Šajā sakarā ES veica demaršu lielam skaitam CWC Līgumslēdzēju valstu, lūdzot tām īstenot konstruktīvu pieeju OPCW lēmuma īstenošanai un atbalstīt CWC ceturtās pārskatīšanas konferences sekmīgu iznākumu. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | Padome 2018. gada 26. februārī pieņēma Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/294 (4), ar ko pagarina ES Padomes Lēmuma (KĀDP) 2015/259 (5) darbību līdz 2018. gada beigām, lai būtu iespējams pilnībā īstenot darbības pēc pēdējā minētā lēmuma darbības beigu datuma. Līdztekus tam Padome apsprieda jaunu, septīto secīgo Padomes lēmuma projektu OPCW atbalstam, lai to pieņemtu 2019. gada sākumā. Ar jauno lēmumu ES atbalsts tiks attiecināts uz OPCW galvenajām darbībām (piemēram, valsts veiktu īstenošanu, starptautisko sadarbību, universalizāciju, Āfrikas programmu) laikposmā no 2019. līdz 2022. gadam. Ar to arī sniegs būtisku ieguldījumu tam, lai OPCW laboratoriju modernizētu par Ķīmijas un tehnoloģiju centru un īstenotu OPCW lēmumu “Pievēršanās ķīmisko ieroču radītā apdraudējuma jautājumam”. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | ES turpināja sniegt stingru atbalstu darbam, ko veic OPCW faktu vākšanas misija un deklarāciju izvērtējuma grupa, izmeklējot ziņojumus par ķīmisko ieroču izmantošanu Sīrijā un tiecoties pārbaudīt Sīrijas deklarāciju. Šajā sakarā Padome 2018. gada 10. decembrī pieņēma Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/1943 (6), ar ko par divpadsmit mēnešiem pagarina Lēmuma (KĀDP) 2017/2303 (7) īstenošanas laikposmu satelītattēlu nodrošināšanā, lai atbalstītu OPCW operācijas Sīrijā. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | ES 2018. gada oktobrī pieņēma jaunu ierobežojošo pasākumu režīmu, lai, izmantojot Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/1544 (8) un Padomes Regulu (ES) 2018/1542 (9), vērstos pret ķīmisko ieroču izmantošanu un izplatīšanu. |

BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

| 36. | Pēc Bioloģisko un toksisko ieroču konvencijas (BTIK) Pušu sanāksmē, kas notika 2017. gada 4.–8. decembrī, panāktās vienošanās par starpsesiju darba programmu ES turpināja sniegt stingru politisko un finansiālo atbalstu Konvencijas pilnīgai un efektīvai īstenošanai un universalizācijai, tostarp izmantojot to, ka BTIK Īstenošanas atbalsta grupa visaptveroši īsteno ES ceturto atbalsta programmu, kas paredzēta Padomes Lēmumā (KĀDP) 2016/51 (10). Tika rīkoti divi reģionāli darbsemināri, ar ko atbalsta Konvencijas universālu ievērošanu Āfrikā, un četri reģionāli darbsemināri, ar ko sekmē dialogu par zinātni un tehnoloģiju starp Latīņamerikas, Āzijas, Subsahāras Āfrikas un Tuvo Austrumu un Ziemeļāfrikas valstīm. Vēl septiņi darbsemināri un apmācības notika valstīs, kuras gūst labumu no paplašinātas palīdzības programmām attiecībā uz Konvencijas īstenošanu valsts līmenī. |
| --- | --- |

36.

| 37. | ES arī aktīvi un konstruktīvi iesaistījās diskusijās Konvencijas Pušu sanāksmē, kas notika 2018. gada 4.–7. decembrī. Atkārtoti apliecinot savu stingro atbalstu BTIK kā svarīgam uz noteikumiem balstītas starptautiskas sistēmas pīlāram, ES vienlaikus pauda dziļas bažas par Konvencijas kritisko finansiālo situāciju un mudināja steidzami veikt pasākumus, lai garantētu finanšu stabilitāti un nodrošinātu starpsesiju programmas pienācīgu īstenošanu. ES atzinīgi vērtēja to, ka ir uzsākts starpsesiju process, un tehniskās un materiālās diskusijas BTIK ekspertu sanāksmēs 2018. gada 7.–16. augustā un atbalstīja Pušu sanāksmes īstenotu pēcpasākumu veikšanu. Tādēļ ir gandarījums, ka BTIK Pušu sanāksmē decembrī bija iespējams panākt konsensu par pasākumiem, lai palīdzētu nodrošināt finanšu stabilitāti un prognozējamību nākamajā gadā. Tomēr ES rūpīgi pārbaudīs finanšu stāvokli saistībā ar BTIK, kuru Pušu sanāksme pārskatīs 2019. gadā. Tajā pašā laikā jāpauž nožēla, ka netika panākts konsenss par būtiskiem jautājumiem, lai atspoguļotu 2018. gada augustā notikušās BTIK ekspertu sanāksmes iznākumu. ES atbalstīja 2018. gadā BTIK sanāksmēs veikto darbu, iesniedzot darba dokumentu un organizējot vairākus papildpasākumus. |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | Kopš 2006. gada ES ar četrām secīgām palīdzības programmām ir sniegusi būtisku atbalstu BTIK pamatdarbībām. Padome 2019. gada janvārī pieņēma piekto lēmumu BTIK atbalstam, kas aptver laikposmu no 2019. līdz 2022. gadam. Tādējādi ES atbalsta kopējā finanšu summa BTIK pieaugs līdz gandrīz 10 miljoniem EUR. Tas ietver arī finansējumu ANO ĢS mehānismam, tādējādi dodot iespēju UNODA nosūtīt sarakstā iekļautus kvalificētus ekspertus uz apmācības kursiem, kurus organizē dalībvalstis. |

BALLISTISKĀS RAĶETES

Hāgas Rīcības kodekss

| 39. | Hāgas Rīcības kodekss pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) ir radies, starptautiskajai kopienai cenšoties panākt tādu ballistisko raķešu jomas regulējumu, kuras var izmantot masu iznīcināšanas ieroču nogādē. HCoC ir vienīgais daudzpusējais pārredzamības un uzticēšanās veicināšanas instruments saistībā ar ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu. Eiropas Savienība Kodeksu ir stingri atbalstījusi kopš tā izveides. To ir parakstījušas visas ES dalībvalstis. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Parakstot HCoC, dalībnieki brīvprātīgi pauž politisku apņemšanos iepriekš brīdināt par ballistisko raķešu vai kosmisko nesējraķešu palaišanu un izmēģinājumu lidojumiem. Parakstītājas valstis arī apņemas iesniegt ikgadējas deklarācijas par valsts ballistisko raķešu un kosmisko nesējraķešu politiku. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | Kopš 2002. gada novembrī Hāgā (Nīderlandē) tika parakstīts un stājās spēkā politiski saistošais HCoC, tā parakstītāju skaits ir pieaudzis no 93 līdz 139 valstīm. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | ES ir vadoša loma universalitātes, pilnīgas īstenošanas un pastiprinātas darbības, kas ir trīs galvenie Kodeksa mērķi, sekmēšanā un atbalstīšanā. Vairāk nekā desmit gadus ES Padome KĀDP satvarā ir pieņēmusi virkni lēmumu/vienotu rīcību, kur paredzēti līdzekļi, lai turpinātu sniegt ES atbalstu Hāgas Rīcības kodeksam un raķešu neizplatīšanai vispār. Ar šiem Padomes lēmumiem ES finansē informēšanas pasākumus par HCoC, tostarp papildpasākumus, pētījumus, ekspertu sanāksmes un reģionālos informatīvos seminārus. Šos pasākumus, parasti iesaistot arī rotējošo HCoC priekšsēdētāju, veic Stratēģiskās pētniecības fonds (Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique), kura mītnes vieta ir Parīzē. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Ar Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/2370 (11) (2017. gada 18. decembris) ES turpina veicināt pievienošanos Kodeksam un gala rezultātā tā universalitāti; atbalstīt Kodeksa pilnīgu īstenošanu; veicināt dialogu starp valstīm, kas pievienojušās Kodeksam, un tām, kuras tam nav pievienojušās, ar mērķi palīdzēt veidot uzticēšanos un pārredzamību, veicināt atturēšanos un radīt lielāku stabilitāti un drošību visiem; pastiprināt Kodeksa atpazīstamību un uzlabot sabiedrības informētību par riskiem un apdraudējumiem, ko rada ballistisko raķešu izplatīšana; un izpētīt – jo īpaši ar akadēmisku pētījumu palīdzību – iespējas uzlabot Kodeksu un veicināt sadarbību starp Kodeksu un citiem attiecīgiem daudzpusējiem instrumentiem. |

Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms

| 44. | Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms (MTCR) ir neformāla politiska vienošanās starp valstīm, kas tiecas ierobežot raķešu un raķešu tehnoloģiju izplatīšanu, tostarp kategorizējot tās, kas ir kopumā akceptētas kā tādas, ar kurām var nogādāt MII. MTCR pamatnostādnes un kontrolsaraksti ir starptautiskās paraugprakses standarts ar raķetēm saistītu priekšmetu un tehnoloģiju eksporta kontrolēm. |
| --- | --- |

44.

| 45. | ES atbalsta stingrāka publiskā paziņojuma pieņemšanu, kurā atspoguļo starptautiskās bažas par ballistisko raķešu palaišanu un būtisko progresu raķešu tehnoloģiju izstrādē Irānā un KTDR. MTCR kontekstā Eiropas Savienībai svarīgs jautājums joprojām ir Horvātijas, Igaunijas, Kipras, Latvijas, Lietuvas, Maltas, Rumānijas, Slovākijas un Slovēnijas pievienošanās režīmam bloķēšana. Turklāt tas, ka režīmam ilgu laiku nav vadības, ir jautājums, kas rada īpašas bažas. |

APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA 1540 (2004) UN CBRN RISKU MAZINĀŠANA

| 46. | ANO Drošības padomes Rezolūcija 1540 (2004) joprojām ir viens no galvenajiem starptautiskās ieroču neizplatīšanas arhitektūras pīlāriem. Tā ir pirmais starptautiskais instruments, kurā integrētā un vispusīgā veidā pievēršas masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem (MII), to piegādes līdzekļiem un ar tiem saistītajiem materiāliem. ANO DPR 1540 (2004) ir paredzēti saistoši pienākumi visām valstīm. To mērķis ir novērst iespēju un atturēt no tādas iespējas, ka nevalstiski dalībnieki iegūst piekļuvi šādiem ieročiem un ar ieročiem saistītiem materiāliem. Saskaņā ar Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Statūtu VII nodaļu pieņemtajā rezolūcijā ir prasīts, lai visas valstis pieņemtu vajadzīgos tiesību aktus, ar kuriem nevalstiskiem dalībniekiem liegtu iespēju iegūt kodolieročus un ķīmiskos vai bioloģiskos ieročus, un lai nelikumīgas tirdzniecības novēršanas nolūkā ieviestu pienācīgas iekšzemes kontroles attiecībā uz saistītajiem materiāliem. ANO DPR 1540 2016. gada visaptverošās pārskatīšanas process vēlreiz apstiprināja rezolūcijas centrālo lomu, nozīmīgumu un svaru, kā atspoguļots ANO DPR 2325. |

| 47. | Lai palīdzētu īstenot 2016. gada visaptverošās pārskatīšanas rezultātus un sniegtu atbalstu ANO DPR 1540 pilnīgai īstenošanai, 2017. gada 11. maijā ES Padome pieņēma Padomes Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2017/809 (12), atbalstot Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Drošības padomes Rezolūcijas 1540 (2004) par masu iznīcināšanas ieroču un to nogādes līdzekļu neizplatīšanu īstenošanu. Padomes lēmums attiecas uz 36 mēnešu laikposmu, un to īsteno ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs (UNODA) Ņujorkā, kurš daļu īstenošanas ir uzticējis EDSO Vīnē. ES piekrīt mērķiem palīdzēt valstīm noteikt specifisku tehnisko palīdzību, uzlabot informētību par attiecīgām tehniskās palīdzības programmām, kā arī paplašināt sadarbību ar starptautiskām un reģionālām organizācijām, lai sniegtu atbalstu valstu spēju veidošanas centieniem. |

| 48. | ES CBRN risku mazināšanas izcilības centru (IC) iniciatīva ir pasaules mēroga spēju veidošanas programma, kas apvieno 61 partnervalsti, kuras ir sagrupētas ap astoņiem reģionāliem sekretariātiem, kas izvietoti šādos reģionos: Āfrikas daļā, kas atrodas Atlantijas okeāna pusē; Vidusāzijā; Austrumāfrikā un Centrālajā Āfrikā; Persijas līča sadarbības padomes valstīs; Tuvajos Austrumos; Ziemeļāfrikā un Sāhelā; Dienvidaustrumāzijā; Dienvidaustrumeiropā un Austrumeiropā. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | CBRN IC finansē no Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumenta (IcSP), un tā mērķis ir mazināt ar CBRN materiāliem saistītos riskus, stiprināt partnervalstu gatavību un uzlabot drošības kultūru un pārvaldību. Iesaistītajām valstīm tiek sniegts atbalsts to centienos uz brīvprātības pamatiem un saskaņā ar augšupēju, reģionālu pieeju iedibināt nacionālas un reģionālas koordinācijas un pārvaldības struktūras. Šajās platformās tiek izstrādāti politikas priekšlikumi un spējas, pamatojoties uz specifiskiem vajadzību izvērtējumiem un valstu rīcības plāniem. Tās atbalsta ar vairākiem reģionāliem sadarbības projektiem, kurus finansē ar iniciatīvu, un tās ir atvērtas citiem finansēšanas instrumentiem. Kopš 2010. gada ir finansēti 66 reģionāli projekti. Iniciatīvas budžets 10 gadu laikposmam, kas sākās 2010. gadā, ir EUR 250 miljonu. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | Izcilības centru tīkls tagad ir labi attīstīts, un tas ļāva ES rīkot teorētiskās mācības un pārrobežu lauka mācības par jautājumiem, kas ietver civilo aizsardzību, reaģēšanu uz incidentiem, biodrošību un atkritumu apsaimniekošanu IC projektu ietvaros, lai uzlabotu to pamanāmību un konkrēti novērtētu ietekmi. Turklāt iniciatīva ir gana nobriedusi, lai sniegtu atbalstu turpmākām darbībām, ar ko risina drošības pārvaldības jautājumus saistībā ar kibernoziedzību, terorismu, kritisko infrastruktūru, viltotām zālēm, hibrīddraudiem un sprāgstvielām, kā arī lai turpinātu sadarbību kriminālistiskās kodolekspertīzes, robežkontroļu un divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroļu jomās. IC modeli ir atzinīgi novērtējusi arī Eiropas Revīzijas palāta (13), un pēc tam tas tika iekļauts Padomes 2015. gada 26. oktobra secinājumos (14). |

50.

| 51. | 2017. gada oktobrī Komisija plašākas terorisma apkarošanas paketes ietvaros iesniedza rīcības plānu sagatavotības uzlabošanai pret ķīmiskiem, bioloģiskiem, radioloģiskiem riskiem un kodoldrošības riskiem. Jaunajā rīcības plānā, kas balstās uz ES CBRN rīcības plāna 2010.–2015. gadam sasniegumiem, ir ierosināts plašs pasākumu klāsts nolūkā uzlabot sagatavotību, izturētspēju un koordinētību ES līmenī. Tajā ierosināts ES līmenī izveidot CBRN arhitektūru, kas vairāk koncentrēta uz drošību, uzsverot, ka ir labāk jāizmanto esošie resursi un jāapvieno esošās ekspertu zināšanas. Rīcības plānā arī tiek aicināts stiprināt ES CBRN sagatavotību un reaģēšanu, rīkojot pārrobežu un pārnozaru apmācību un mācības. Tajā ir uzsvērta nepieciešamība visos attiecīgos gadījumos iekļaut robežu un muitas iestādes un militāros partnerus. Rīcības plānā ir uzsvērts arī tas, cik svarīgas ir ciešas saiknes starp iekšējiem un ārējiem ar CBRN drošību saistītiem pasākumiem, kā arī sadarbība ar specializētām daudzpusējām organizācijām, piemēram, SAEA, OPCW vai Interpolu. Rīcības plāna īstenošana tiks finansiāli atbalstīta, izmantojot Iekšējās drošības fonda policijas komponentu. |
| --- | --- |

51.

| 52. | CBRN rīcības plāns ir saņēmis zinātnisku un tehnisku atbalstu no vairākiem pētniecības projektiem, ko 7. pamatprogrammas ietvaros finansē Drošas sabiedrības programmas ietvaros. Pētniecība attiecas uz visu krīžu pārvarēšanas ciklu, sākot no novēršanas līdz atjaunošanai. Ar pasākumiem standartizācijas vajadzību apzināšanai varētu panākt “Eiropas normu” standartu izstrādi. Ar programmu “Apvārsnis 2020” tiks pastiprināts pašreizējais CBRN pētniecības darbs, izmantojot mērķorientētus tematus. |

IDEJU LABORATORIJAS

| 53. | Pamatojoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP (15) (2010. gada 26. jūlijs), ES ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs, kas savu darbību uzsāka 2011. gada janvārī, ir aktīvi atbalstījis ES Stratēģijas masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai īstenošanu. Padome 2018. gada 26. februārī pieņēma Lēmumu (KĀDP) 2018/299 (16), ar ko vēl vairāk paplašina ES atbalstu konsorcija darbībām laikposmā no 2018. līdz 2021. gadam, balstoties uz līdz šim sasniegto un pievienojot jaunus projektus. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 54. | Konsorcija darbība ir uzlabojusi ES pamanāmību trešās valstīs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā un ir būtiski palīdzējusi veidot ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomās. Konsorcijs nodrošina platformu neoficiālai praktiskā darba veicēju saziņai un sekmē dialogu starp dažādām ieinteresētajām personām. Tā darbība ir palīdzējusi skaidrāk apzināties problēmas, kas ir saistītas ar masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem un parastajiem ieročiem. Tam ir plašs vairāk nekā 70 ideju laboratoriju tīkls visā Eiropā. |

EKSPORTA KONTROLES

| 56. | 2018. gadā ES turpināja regulāri atjaunināt savus noteikumus, lai atspoguļotu tendences daudzpusējos eksporta kontroles režīmos. Tādējādi Eiropas Komisija 2018. gada 10. oktobrī pieņēma deleģēto regulu (17), ar kuru, ievērojot 2017. gadā daudzpusējos eksporta kontroles režīmos pieņemtos lēmumus, tika atjaunināts ES kontrolsaraksts un tika ieviestas izmaiņas, piemēram, ģenētisko elementu un ģenētiski modificētu organismu, izmēru inspekcijas vai mērīšanas sistēmu, augstas enerģijas šūnu, ielaušanās programmatūras un kosmisko nesējraķešu kontrolē. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupa turpināja atbalstīt efektīvu un konsekventu eksporta kontroļu īstenošanu Eiropas Savienībā. “Elektroniskajā divējāda lietojuma preču sistēmā” tika ieviestas jaunas funkcijas, kas uzlaboja informācijas un tehnisku datu apmaiņu Eiropas Savienībā. ES aizsāka procesu, lai definētu nozares atbilstības pamatnostādnes, un no 2018. gada oktobra līdz novembrim rīkoja sabiedrisko apspriešanu par šo jautājumu. ES arī uzsāka “elektroniskās licencēšanas” projektu, lai atbalstītu to, ka kompetentās iestādes izmanto elektroniskās licencēšanas sistēmas. Lai nodrošinātu eksporta kontroļu un licencēšanas darbību pārredzamību, tika publicēts gada ziņojums (18), un 2018. gada 13. decembrī tika sarīkots Eksporta kontroles forums, kas pulcēja ieinteresētās personas no dalībvalstīm, nozares un pilsoniskās sabiedrības (19). |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | Turpinājās ES eksporta kontroles politikas pārskatīšana. Padome un Eiropas Parlaments aktīvi apsprieda Komisijas leģislatīvā akta priekšlikumu par ES eksporta kontroļu modernizāciju un to pielāgošanu ātri mainīgajiem tehnoloģiskajiem, ekonomiskajiem un politiskajiem apstākļiem. Eiropas Parlaments 2018. gada 17. janvārī pieņēma nostāju pirmajā lasījumā, savukārt Padomē turpinājās diskusijas. Turklāt Komisija 2018. gada 19. decembrī pieņēma “Brexit ārkārtas situācijas” leģislatīvā akta priekšlikumu, lai mazinātu Brexit iespējamo ietekmi tad, ja nevarēs vienoties par Izstāšanās līgumu (COM(2018) 891). |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | Atbilstoši tika koordinētas ES nostājas un paziņojumi, gatavojoties eksporta kontroļu režīmu attiecīgajām sanāksmēm: Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupas plenārsēdei Jūrmalā (2018. gada 11.–15. jūnijā) un Austrālijas grupas plenārsēdei Parīzē (2018. gada 7. un 8. jūnijā). |
| --- | --- |

59.

| 60. | Turpinājās eksporta kontroles programmas EU–P2P īstenošana, lai paplašinātu divējāda lietojuma preču un ar tām saistītu materiālu, ierīču un tehnoloģiju eksporta kontroles sistēmu efektivitāti. Šī programma pašlaik aptver 36 valstis sešos reģionos. 2017. gadā to paplašināja, lai varētu sadarboties ar Libānu.. 2017. un 2018. gadā divas jaunas reģionālas iniciatīvas, uz eksporta kontroli vērstas iniciatīvas, tika uzsāktas ar Ukrainas Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru un Starptautisko Zinātnes un tehnoloģijas centru Kazahstānā, kas aptver 12 valstis. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | Turpinājās intensīva eksporta kontroles programmas EU–P2P koordinēšana ar ASV Valsts eksporta kontroles departamentu un ar to saistīto robežu drošības programmu. Tika organizēti kopīgi ES un ASV semināri, lai definētu kopējus ietekmes rādītājus un koordinētu uz vietas sniegtu palīdzību. ES 2018. gadā organizēja otro dialogu par eksporta kontroles pārvaldību, konferenci, kas apvienoja četrus eksporta kontroles režīmus ar partnerorganizācijām un partnervalstīm. Ik gadu tiek organizēta EU–P2P vasaras universitāte ES eksporta kontroles informatīvo programmu partneriem. EU–P2P portāls (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) turpināja kalpot par platformu visām ES informatīvajām programmām militāra un divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroļu jomā, lai pielāgotu informācijas apmaiņu ar ES partnervalstīm. Šī programma tiek finansēta saskaņā ar Stabilitātes un miera veicināšanas instrumentu. |

KOSMOSS

| 62. | ES mudināja turpināt darbu pie bruņošanās sacensības novēršanas kosmosā (PAROS), pie principiem par atbildīgu rīcību kosmosā un pie pārredzamības un uzticības veidošanas pasākumiem. ES atbalstīja darbu, ko veic ANO Kosmosa miermīlīgas izmantošanas komitejas (COPUOS) darba grupa kosmosā veikto darbību ilgtermiņa ilgtspējas jautājumos. Tā kā 2018. gadā netika pieņemtas pamatnostādnes par kosmosā veikto darbību ilgtermiņa ilgtspēju, ES turpinās strādāt ar visiem partneriem, lai noslēgtu sarunas. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Jūnijā ES sekmīgi piedalījās UNISPACE+50 augsta līmeņa COPUOS sanāksmē Vīnē. Savā paziņojumā ES uzsvēra, cik svarīgi ir pārredzamības un uzticības veidošanas pasākumi un atbildīgas rīcības kosmosā principu veicināšana Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas ietvaros. ES norādīja, ka ir vērts vienoties par juridiski nesaistošu instrumentu kā līdzekli minēto mērķu sasniegšanai. ES un tās dalībvalstis arī popularizēja kosmosa drošību un drošumu Valdības ekspertu grupā bruņošanās sacensības kosmosā novēršanas jautājumos, Atbruņošanās konferencē, tostarp tās 3. palīgstruktūrā, ANO Atbruņošanās komisijā un ANO Ģenerālajā asamblejā. ES centīsies nodrošināt, lai Padomes 2017. gada decembra un 2018. gada februāra secinājumi par UNISPACE+50 tiktu atspoguļoti programmā “Kosmoss 2030” un tās īstenošanas plānā, kas jāiesniedz ANO ĢA 2020.–2021. gadā. |

63.

MII NEIZPLATĪŠANAS KLAUZULAS

| 64. | Saskaņā ar savu MII neizplatīšanas politiku un ievērojot Padomes 2003. gada secinājumus, ES turpināja darbu pie MII neizplatīšanas saistību integrēšanas nolīgumos ar trešām valstīm. Tādējādi 2018. gadā tika pabeigtas sarunas ar Mercosur par MII klauzulu jaunajos nolīgumos ar šo valstu grupu. Turklāt turpinājās sarunas par MII klauzulu jaunajiem nolīgumiem ar Azerbaidžānu, Čīli un Kirgizstānu. |
