ŠESTOMJESEČNO IZVJEŠĆE O NAPRETKU PROVEDBE STRATEGIJE EU-A ZA SPREČAVANJE ŠIRENJA ORUŽJA ZA MASOVNO UNIŠTENJE (2013/II)

2014/C 54/01

UVOD

U skladu sa Strategijom EU-a za sprečavanje širenja oružja za masovno uništenje, koju je Europsko vijeće usvojilo u prosincu 2003. (dok. 15708/03), predviđena je izrada izvješća o napretku provedbe Strategije svakih šest mjeseci. Ovo izvješće o napretku obuhvaća aktivnosti provedene u drugoj polovici 2013.

Vodeća načela EU-a u ovom području, u skladu s ciljevima Europske sigurnosne strategije, Strategije EU-a za sprečavanje širenja OMU-a i novih pravaca djelovanja (dok. 17172/08), i dalje su:

| i. | učinkoviti multilateralizam, uključujući promicanje univerzalnosti međunarodnih ugovora, konvencija i drugih instrumenata i njihova provedba na nacionalnoj razini, putem diplomatskog djelovanja i financijske pomoći trećim zemljama i međunarodnim organizacijama; |

| ii. | bliska suradnja s partnerima i ostalim trećim zemljama u svrhu približavanja stavova na svjetskoj razini o potrebi jačanja međunarodnog sustava neširenja oružja. Uloženi su daljnji napori u rješavanje pitanja neširenja oružja u okviru bilateralnih odnosa EU-a sa svim relevantnim zemljama, posebno putem sastanaka u okviru političkog dijaloga te više neslužbenih kontakata; |

iii.

učinkovita i komplementarna upotreba svih dostupnih instrumenata i financijskih sredstava (iz proračuna ZVSP-a, Instrumenta za stabilnost i drugih instrumenata) kako bi se maksimalno povećao učinak njegovih aktivnosti u ispunjavanju ciljeva vanjske politike EU-a.

Aktivnosti se stoga također detaljno koordiniraju u okviru šire sigurnosne politike i aktivnosti sprečavanja sukoba koje EU poduzima.

Glavni savjetnik i posebni izaslanik ESVD-a za neširenje oružja i razoružanje predstavljao je EU na nekoliko ključnih međunarodnih sastanaka tijekom druge polovice 2013. (posebno na Općoj konferenciji IAEA-e, u Prvom odboru Opće skupštine UN-a, u Upravnoj skupini za neširenje oružja u okviru Skupine G8, na Godišnjem sastanku država potpisnica u okviru OPCW-a, na Otvorenom savjetovanju o nacrtu međunarodnog kodeksa ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru, na Konferenciji EU-a o neširenju oružja i razoružanju).

U drugom semestru 2013. posebni izaslanik usmjerio se na:

| — | pojačanje napora u podupiranju Ugovora o neširenju nuklearnog oružja (uključujući njegov članak X. o povlačenju iz Ugovora). To ostaje najvažniji prioritet EU-a, uzimajući u obzir njegovu izravnu važnost za glavne regionalne izazove u vezi s neširenjem oružja u Iranu i DNRK-u. Budući da je drugi sastanak Pripremnog odbora Ugovora o neširenju nuklearnog oružja u Ženevi (od 23. travnja do 3. svibnja 2013.) održan u sjeni činjenice da Konferencija o uspostavi područja bez nuklearnog oružja i drugog oružja za masovno uništenje na Bliskom istoku (WMDFZ) nije bila sazvana u 2012., pojačani su napori da se riješi pitanje nastalog razočaranja i omogući daljnji tijek procesa. U tom kontekstu EU je nastavio podupirati napore finskog moderatora, također organiziranjem neslužbenih seminara kako bi se olakšao dijalog među relevantnim stranama uz pomoć Konzorcija EU-a za neširenje oružja, |

| — | daljnji razvoj inicijative o Međunarodnom kodeksu ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru. Posebni izaslanik sudjelovao je u brojnim bilateralnim informativnim sastancima s glavnim partnerima, uključujući Brazil, Kinu i Rusiju. S ciljem utjecanja na ishod studije UN-ove skupine vladinih stručnjaka (GGE) o mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja (TCBM) u vezi s aktivnostima u svemiru, izvijestio je GGE na sastanku u Ženevi (2. travnja 2013.) i New Yorku (10. srpnja 2013.), zajamčivši u tekstu priznanje rada koji obavlja EU na temelju Pravilnika. U Kijevu 16. i 17. svibnja 2013. te u Bangkoku od 20. do 22. studenoga 2013. predsjedao je Otvorenim savjetovanjem o nacrtu Pravilnika, a na oba sastanka sudjelovalo je oko 140 predstavnika iz više od 60 zemalja, |

Posebni izaslanik Bylica bio je na čelu delegacije EU-a u Prvom odboru Opće skupštine UN-a te je prisustvovao općoj raspravi. Također je prisustvovao osamnaestoj sjednici sastanka država potpisnica Konvencije o kemijskom oružju (Haag, od 2. do 6. prosinca 2013.) te je na njoj iznio izjavu EU-a.

1.   NUKLEARNA PITANJA

Radna skupina Vijeća EU-a za suzbijanje širenja oružja (CONOP), u bliskoj suradnji s relevantnim delegacijama EU-a, aktivno je doprinijela pripremama stajališta EU-a za sastanke Vijeća guvernera IAEA-e u rujnu i studenome 2013. te za opću konferenciju IAEA-e u rujnu 2013. Ta je radna skupina dala strateške smjernice i pripremila doprinose EU-a drugim međunarodnim događajima, poput sastanka Savjetodavne skupine NSG-a, Konferencije sukladno članku XIV. CTBT-a, sastancima Pripremne komisije CTBTO-a, Režima kontrole raketne tehnologije (MTCT), Australske skupine i drugih relevantnih sastanaka u okviru svog mandata. Radna skupina započela je s pripremama doprinosa EU-a Trećem pripremnom odboru za NPT (od 28. travnja do 9. svibnja 2014.). Pripremila je zaključke Vijeća (koje je usvojilo Vijeće za vanjske poslove 21. listopada 2013.) o jamčenju trajne provedbe učinkovite politike EU-a o novim izazovima u vezi sa širenjem oružja za masovno uništenje (OMU) i sustava njegove isporuke.

1.1.   Daljnje postupanje u vezi s Revizijskom konferencijom Ugovora o neširenju oružja (NPT) održanom 2010.

U okviru sastanaka CONOP-a 19. veljače 2013. i 11. studenoga 2013. održane su rasprave s predsjednikom Drugog pripremnog odbora te imenovanim predsjednikom Glavnog odbora II Revizijske konferencije NPT-a u svrhu pripreme Revizijske konferencije u 2015. S istim ciljem uspostavljene su tri neslužbene radne podskupine „prijatelja predsjednika” čija je zadaća priprema doprinosa EU-a Revizijskom ciklusu NPT-a u 2015., a kojima predsjedaju države članice EU-a uz sudjelovanje ESVD-a.

S obzirom na područje bez nuklearnog oružja i drugog oružja za masovno uništenje na Bliskom istoku, pitanje koje je u središtu revizijskog ciklusa NPT-a, u izjavi od 1. srpnja 2013. VP je potvrdila da strateški prioritet EU-a i dalje ostaje podupiranje mira i stabilnosti diljem Bliskog istoka te je još jednom izrazila svoje žaljenje da je konferencija o uspostavi takvog područja, koja je dogovorena na Revizijskoj konferenciji NPT-a u 2010., a koja je trebala biti održana u 2012., odgođena.

EU je nastavio u potpunosti podupirati tekuće pripreme za uspješno održavanje Konferencije, a posebno trajne napore moderatora, veleposlanika Laajave iz Finske, i njegovog tima u vezi s postavljanjem temelja u tom pogledu. Na službenim sastancima s Ligom arapskih država i nekoliko arapskih zemalja, EU je sve strane u regiji pozvao da hitno i proaktivno surađuju s moderatorom i sazivačima s ciljem sazivanja Konferencije što je moguće prije. ESVD je na svim razinama održavao bliske kontakte s moderatorom i njegovim timom.

1.2.   Međunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju (IAEA)

EU je pojačao svoju potporu Međunarodnoj agenciji za atomsku energiju u Beču. EU ostaje glavni donator sredstava u Fond za nuklearnu sigurnost, sa skoro 40 milijuna EUR namijenjenih fondu od 2004. (uključujući najnoviju obvezu plaćanja 8,05 milijuna EUR Agenciji, na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2013/517/ZVSP od 21. listopada 2013.). U pogledu nuklearne sigurnosti, EU je tehničkom stručnošću doprinio aktivnostima osposobljavanja i radionicama koje su organizirale IAEA i treće zemlje u svrhu poboljšanja sposobnosti u borbi protiv nezakonite trgovine nuklearnim i drugim radioaktivnim materijalima. EU i IAEA nastavili su koordinirati svoju potporu trećim zemljama u tom području. Započele su pripreme za drugi godišnji sastanak visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e (SOM), na kojem će sudjelovati predstavnici ESVD-a, Europske komisije/Euratoma i IAEA-e na visokoj razini, a koji će se održati 20. I 21. veljače 2014. u Beču. Cilj je tih sastanaka poboljšati suradnju u svim područjima djelovanja IAEA-e, povećati vidljivost doprinosa EU-a te dalje koordinirati djelovanje EU-a kako bi se zajamčila komplementarnost i izbjeglo preklapanje aktivnosti koje poduzimaju Centri izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a s aktivnostima koje poduzima IAEA u području nuklearne sigurnosti (radi toga su EU (Zajednički istraživački centar ) i IAEA također potpisali praktične sporazume kojima se uređuje njihova suradnja).

EU se od 2008. putem zaključaka Vijeća obvezao namijeniti do 25 milijuna EUR banci nisko obogaćenog uranija u sklopu IAEA-e (IAEA LEU). EU je doprinio s 20 milijuna EUR iz instrumenta za stabilnost u korist te banke. Na temelju Odluke Vijeća još jedan doprinos bit će pružen iz proračuna ZVSP-a. Vijeće još uvijek nije dalo svoje odobrenje zbog neočekivano sporog napretka u finalizaciji raznih sporazuma, uključujući Sporazum s državom domaćinom između IAEA-e i Kazahstana.

U području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera, Uprava za nuklearne zaštitne mjere pri Europskoj komisiji i dalje primjenjuje zaštitne mjere na sav nuklearni materijal za civilnu upotrebu u svih 28 država članica EU-a, uz godišnji proračun od otprilike 20 milijuna EUR. Aktivnosti provjere zaštitnih mjera koordiniraju se u bliskoj suradnji s IAEA-om.

IAEA i Komisija stalno poboljšavaju svoju suradnju u tom području u svrhu optimizacije korištenja ljudskih i financijskih resursa, istovremeno održavajući najveću moguću razinu učinkovitosti zaštitnih mjera. EU je također nastavio pružati važnu tehničku podršku IAEA-i u području nuklearnih zaštitnih mjera putem Programa zajedničke potpore Europske komisije kako bi se omogućila sigurna i pouzdana primjena miroljubive upotrebe nuklearne tehnologije u trećim zemljama.

Dana 17. rujna 2013., na marginama Opće konferencije IAEA-e održane u Beču, glavni direktor IAEA-e, Yukiya Amano, i europski povjerenik za energetiku, Günther Oettinger, potpisali su Memorandum o razumijevanju o nuklearnoj sigurnosti, čime je uspostavljen okvir za suradnju u svrhu poboljšanja nuklearne sigurnosti u Europi. Taj memorandum jedan je od važnih konkretnih rezultata prvog sastanka visokih dužnosnika EU-a i IAEA-e održanog 25. siječnja 2013. u Bruxellesu.

Dok je EU namijenio 10 milijuna EUR kao potporu međunarodnom projektu čiji je cilj proširenje i modernizacija laboratorija za zaštitne mjere u Seibersdorfu u Austriji (od čega je 9,50 milijuna već isplaćeno), IAEA se obratila međunarodnim donatorima, uključujući EU, da doprinesu modernizaciji laboratorija za primjenu nuklearne energije u Seibersdorfu.

Na stručnoj razini, Europska komisija je, u suradnji s IAEA-om, pokrenula postupak procjene i potpore poboljšanju IAEA-ine baze podataka o nezakonitoj trgovini (ITDB) s obzirom na potrebe njezinih korisnika. Sastavljen je nacrt dokumenta najbolje prakse u području usklađenog izvješćivanja koji će biti podnesen IAEA-i. U listopadu 2013. započelo se s razvojem sustava web-INF (Obrazac za prijavu događaja) u svrhu modernizacije sredstava izvješćivanja, a taj će sustav biti završen 2014.

Sredstva EU-a pružena IAEA-i na temelju zajedničkih akcija od I. do IV. te na temelju Odluke Vijeća V. pomogla su poboljšati napore IAEA-e uložene u jačanje nuklearne sigurnosti u trećim zemljama, s time da je prednost dana onim državama kojima je poboljšanje kontrole radioaktivnog i nuklearnog materijala najviše potrebno, a na taj način pružena je pomoć pri smanjenju rizika. Napori su bili usmjereni na jačanje zakonodavne i regulatorne infrastrukture u tim državama povezane s nuklearnim i drugim radioaktivnim materijalima, mjerama nuklearne sigurnosti u pogledu nuklearnog i drugog radioaktivnog materijala u upotrebi, skladištenjem i prijevozom te povezanim sredstvima i sposobnostima tih država pri rješavanju pitanja nuklearnog i radioaktivnog materijala koji je izvan nacionalne regulatorne kontrole, na taj način omogućujući zemljama kojima je pružena pomoć da ispune svoje nacionalne i međunarodne obveze. Najnovija Odluka Vijeća (IAEA VI, 2013/517/ZVSP), donesena 21. listopada 2013., doprinijet će daljnjem poboljšanju nuklearne sigurnosti na svjetskoj razini te jačanju europske sigurnosti pružanjem pomoći aktivnostima IAEA-e poduzetima u okviru Plana nuklearne sigurnosti za razdoblje od 2014. do 2017., primarno u gore opisanim područjima.

1.3.   Ugovor o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT)

EU je aktivno promovirao rano stupanje na snagu Ugovora o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBT), na temelju relevantnih odluka Vijeća (2010/461/ZVSP od 26. srpnja 2010. i 2012/699/ZVSP od 13. studenoga 2012.), kao potpora Organizaciji Ugovora o općoj zabrani nuklearnih pokusa (CTBTO) i ulaganjem napora za povećanje osviještenosti u svim zemljama koje nisu još potpisale ili ratificirale CTBT, uključujući u državama iz Priloga 2. čija je ratifikacija nužna kako bi Ugovor mogao stupiti na snagu. EU će i dalje nastaviti s podizanjem svijesti u CTBT-u u raznim kontekstima, uključujući na sastancima u okviru političkog dijaloga, kako bi dalje potaknuo ratifikaciju Ugovora.

U tom kontekstu EU se obratio neslužbenoj sjednici Opće skupštine UN-a povodom obilježavanja Međunarodnog dana protiv nuklearnih pokusa (5. rujna 2013.), kao i Konferenciji sukladno članku XIV. CTBT-a održanoj 27. rujna 2013. kako bi dalje potaknuo stupanje na snagu tog Ugovora. Izvršni tajnik CTBTO-a posjetio je Bruxelles u razdoblju od 30. rujna do 1. listopada 2013., a tom je prilikom u svojstvu počasnog govornika sudjelovao na Konferenciji EU-a o neširenju oružja i razoružanju i održao sastanke s nekoliko glavnih dužnosnika EU-a.

U okviru konkretnijih mjera, EU je u lipnju 2013. u suradnji s Privremenim tehničkim tajništvom CTBTO-a organizirao sporedno događanje o potpori koju je EU pružio aktivnostima Pripremne komisije te uveo priznanje EU-a u okviru Konferencije CTBTO-a za znanost i tehnologiju 2013.

Dana 30. i 31. listopada 2013. EU je, zajedno s CTBTO-om i angolskim vlastima, u Luandi organizirao zajednički seminar o CTBT-u u svrhu promicanja ratifikacije od strane Angole, ključne zemlje u regiji, a tijekom tog seminara Angola se obvezala ratificirati Ugovor u nadolazećim mjesecima. EU će nastaviti surađivati s CTBTO-om u drugim zemljama u svrhu postizanja cilja univerzalnosti CTBT-a. EU također istražuje mogućnosti za pružanje podrške Skupini uglednih osoba koja je nedavno pokrenuta na inicijativu izvršnog tajnika CTBTO-a, s ciljem daljnjeg promoviranja stupanja na snagu Ugovora.

Nuklearni pokus koji je 12. veljače 2013. proveden u Demokratskoj Narodnoj Republici Koreji te rizici mogućnosti daljnjih pokusa jasno su ukazali na stvarnu važnost Mreže postaja CTBTO-a za otkrivanje, što je još jedan projekt koji EU podupire na temelju svojih odluka Vijeća. Mobilizirani su timovi CTBTO-a u svrhu pružanja svim zemljama potpisnicama CTBT-a relevantnih izravnih podataka kao potpore donositeljima odluka. Nuklearni pokus iz veljače 2013. također je ukazao na važnost provođenja vježbi, poput integrirane terenske vježbe koja će biti organizirana u 2014. u Jordanu u svrhu ispitivanja i poboljšanja stvarnih sustava otkrivanja. Napori u vezi s održavanjem 321 seizmološke pomoćne stanice, koji se podupiru putem zajedničkih akcija/odluka Vijeća od I. do V., te uvođenje Međunarodnog podatkovnog centra CTBTO-a (koji prikuplja, analizira i razmjenjuje podatke koje je mreža stanica prikupila) doprinijet će potrebnoj održivosti sustava.

Započeo je istraživački rad koji će i dalje sredstvima EU-a podupirati aktivnosti Pripremne komisije CTBTO-a.

1.4.   Regionalna pitanja (Iran, Demokratska Narodna Republika Koreja)

EU je pregovorima nastavio s naporima usmjerenim na postizanje diplomatskog rješenja iranskog nuklearnog pitanja, na temelju NPT-a i potpune primjene svih relevantnih rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a i Vijeća guvernera IAEA-e. Nakon tri kruga razgovora E3/EU+3 održana s novim iranskim nuklearnim pregovaračkim timom u listopadu i studenome u Ženevi, visoka predstavnica EU-a, zajedno s ministrima vanjskih poslova skupine E3+3 (Kina, Francuska, Njemačka, Rusija, Ujedinjena Kraljevina i Sjedinjene Američke Države), uspješno je zaključila sastanak održan 24. studenoga u Ženevi, na kojem je postignut dogovor (poznat pod nazivom „Zajednički plan djelovanja”) s Iranom o prvom koraku prema sveobuhvatnom rješenju pitanja nuklearnog programa Irana.

Dana 11. studenoga 2013. glavni direktor IAEA-e i potpredsjednik Irana potpisali su u Teheranu „Zajedničku izjavu o okviru suradnje” u svrhu jačanja suradnje i dijaloga između Agencije i Irana. Kao prvi korak, Iran i IAEA dogovorili su šest početnih praktičnih mjera koje Iran treba poduzeti u roku od tri mjeseca.

S obzirom na Demokratsku Narodnu Republiku Koreju, EU je nastavio poticati DNRK da poštuje svoje obveze koje je preuzeo na temelju relevantnih rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a, uključujući obustavu svih postojećih nuklearnih programa i programa balističkih projektila na sveobuhvatan, dokaziv i nepovratan način. EU je strogo osudio nuklearni pokus koji je DNRK proveo 12. veljače 2013., a koji je predstavljao izravno kršenje njezinih međunarodnih obveza na temelju rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a br. 1718, 1874 i 2087, a kao rezultat usvojena je Rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a br. 2094. EU je nastavio s pozivanjem DNRK da ponovno uspostavi puno poštovanje NPT-a i obveza u vezi sa zaštitnim mjerama IAEA-e te da IAEA-i dopusti zatraženi pristup pojedincima, dokumentaciji, opremi i objektima. EU je trajno podupirao ponovno pokretanje postupka pregovora između šest strana te je pozvao DNRK da se ponovno uključi u vjerodostojne i autentične međunarodne pregovore. Osim primjene rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a, EU je također uveo dodatne autonomne mjere ograničavanja, uključujući pojačane kontrole robe s dvojnom namjerom i širenje konvencionalnog oružja. EU je ponovno pozvao DNRK da ratificira CTBT te da se suzdrži od svih daljnjih provokativnih radnji.

2.   KONFERENCIJA O RAZORUŽANJU (CD) / UGOVOR O ZABRANI PROIZVODNJE FISIBILNOG MATERIJALA ZA NUKLEARNO ORUŽJE ILI DRUGE NUKLEARNE EKSPLOZIVNE NAPRAVE / UNGA 68

U Rezoluciji Prvog odbora UNGA 68 o Izvješću o Konferenciji o razoružanju (CD), koji je podnijela Irska kao država predsjedavatelj CD-a, Konferenciju o razoružanju poziva se da premosti zastoj u svojem radu donošenjem i provedbom stabilnog i sveobuhvatnog programa rada. U Rezoluciji je pozdravljena Odluka CD/1956/Rev.1 o uspostavi neslužbene radne skupine čiji je mandat sastavljanje programa rada. Prije sastanka Prvog odbora UNGA, EU je izrazio nadu da će neslužbena radna skupina postići konkretne i opipljive rezultate. EU je također dao do znanja da u skladu sa svojom dugoročnom obvezom proširenja CD-a snažno podržava imenovanje posebnog koordinatora za širenje članstva. U skladu sa suradnjom EU-a s civilnim društvom, EU je također podupro pojačanu interakciju između civilnog društva i Konferencije o razoružanju, na taj način jačajući doprinos nevladinih organizacija i istraživačkih ustanova radu Konferencije.

Hitno započinjanje i rani dovršetak pregovora u okviru CD-a o Ugovoru o zabrani proizvodnje fisibilnog materijala za nuklearno oružje ili druge nuklearne eksplozivne naprave na temelju dokumenta CD/1299 i mandata koji je u njemu naveden i dalje ostaje visoko na popisu prioriteta EU-a. Takav ugovor predstavlja hitnu potrebu u području nuklearnog razoružanja i nadopunjuje NPT i CTBT. EU je pozdravio stvaranje skupine vladinih stručnjaka osnovane Rezolucijom 67/53 Opće skupštine, a ta će se skupina sastati u 2014. i 2015.

Na sastanku UNGA 68 delegacija EU-a iznijela je ukupno šest izjava EU-a na plenarnim sjednicama (opću izjavu, kao i stajališta EU-a u vezi s nuklearnim oružjem, mehanizmima razoružanja, drugim vrstama OMU-a, konvencionalnim oružjem i svemirom). EU je redovito sudjelovao u interaktivnim raspravama/panel-raspravama. U skladu s time, na temelju dogovorenih elemenata govora, ESVD je predstavio komentare/pitanja, između ostalog razmjenom s visokim predstavnikom za pitanja razoružanja i drugim visokim dužnosnicima, kao i pomoćnikom glavnog tajnika Kimom Won Soom, o upravljanju promjenama, o panelu o mehanizmima razoružanja i o uvodu predsjednika GGE-a o mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja u vezi s aktivnostima u svemiru.

S obzirom na djelovanje EU-a u vezi s rezolucijama o kojima se raspravljalo u okviru Prvog odbora, države članice EU-a zajedno su glasale u 32 prilike, uključujući tijekom glasovanja o zasebnim stavcima. Sve države članice EU-a zajedno su poduprle devet rezolucija. Države članice EU-a nisu postigle zajednički glas u ukupno 11 prilika.

Usporedo s Prvim odborom, delegacija EU-a iznijela je izjave EU-a na Četvrtom odboru o temi „Pomoć u akciji u vezi s minama” i o miroljubivoj upotrebi svemira, a na plenarnoj raspravi Opće skupštine o Izvješću IAEA-e. O Haškom pravilniku protiv širenja balističkih projektila (HCoC) pročitajte u odjeljku 5. u tekstu dolje.

3.   KEMIJSKO ORUŽJE

Nakon Treće revizijske konferencije Sirija je dobila važnu ulogu na dnevnom redu OPCW-a te je počela predstavljati veliko pitanje nakon ljeta, nakon što je, na temelju okvirnog sporazuma između SAD-a i Rusije, donijela jedinstvenu odluku o prijavi svojeg kemijskog oružja OPCW-u i pristupanju CWC-u (Sirija je službeno postala država potpisnica CWC-a 14. listopada 2013.). Strogi plan uklanjanja kemijskog oružja o kojemu su odlučili Vijeće sigurnosti UN-a i OPCW primio je potporu EU-a isporukom deset oklopljenih vozila visokih specifikacija i satelitskih snimki u svrhu olakšavanja Faze I. i Faze II. plana uništenja (s obzirom na potonje, 9. prosinca 2013. donesena je Odluka Vijeća 2013/726/ZVSP kojom su tom planu dodijeljena 2,3 milijuna EUR). EU se također obvezao financijski dodijeliti znatan iznos novonastalom uzajamnom fondu OPCW-a kao potporu Fazi III.

Nakon Treće revizijske konferencije o Konvenciji o kemijskom oružju (CWC), EU se ponovno usmjerio na svoje prioritete, odnosno: i. dovršetak uništavanja postojećih zaliha; ii. promicanje univerzalnosti CWC-a (sedam država još uvijek nije potpisalo Konvenciju); iii. pomak prema naporima u vezi s neširenjem oružja; iv. promicanje izgradnje kapaciteta s obzirom na sigurnost i zaštitu u kemijskoj industriji u zemljama u razvoju, u skladu s člankom XI., te odgovor na upotrebu kemijskog oružja, na temelju članka X.

S obzirom na učinke potpore EU-a, sve zemlje koje su odabrane za primanje pomoći iskoristile su tu pomoć za popunjavanje kritičnih tehničkih rupa, a na taj način državama potpisnicama omogućeno je da ostvare značajan napredak u pogledu nacionalne provedbe CWC-a. Konkretno, može se zaključiti da Odluke Vijeća EU-a i dalje ostaju jedino moguće sredstvo za pružanje te vrste pomoći za rješavanje propusta pri provedbi. Od 90 nacionalnih provedbenih potprojekata koje je proteklih godina provelo Tehničko tajništvo OPCW-a, gotovo polovica ne bi mogla biti provedena bez sredstava dodijeljenih u okviru zajedničkih akcija/odluka Vijeća.

U pogledu prioriteta EU-a u vezi s promicanjem univerzalnosti, ukupno devetnaest zemalja pridružilo se Konvenciji od donošenja prve zajedničke akcije, a četiri zemlje među zemljama koje su se pridružile Konvenciji u 2005. sudjelovale su u aktivnosti EU-a za podizanje svijesti koja se financirala iz zajedničke akcije/odluke Vijeća; to je bio slučaj za sve zemlje koje su se pridružile tijekom sljedećih godina.

4.   BIOLOŠKO ORUŽJE

Nakon Sedme revizijske konferencije BTWC-a (Ženeva, prosinac 2011.), EU je konstruktivno sudjelovao u procesu između sjednica te je doprinio izjavama i posebnim radnim materijalima o: 1. međunarodnoj suradnji i pomoći; 2. jačanju provedbe na nacionalnoj razini; 3. jačanju kapaciteta u području biozaštite i biosigurnosti. Delegacija EU-a iznijela je izjave EU-a na sastanku stručnjaka (Ženeva, od 12. do 16. kolovoza 2013.) te na sastanku država potpisnica (Ženeva, od 9. do 13. prosinca 2013.). Na potonjoj je podnesena revidirana i ažurirana verzija Radnog dokumenta EU-a o članku X. – Suradnja i pomoć.

Rezultati djelovanja EU-a obuhvaćali su promoviranje povećanog pristupanja BTWC-u u svim zemljopisnim regijama, povećano razumijevanje BTWC-a među relevantnim nacionalnim tijelima vlasti i/ili pojačano subregionalno umrežavanje u svrhu promicanja pridruživanja BTWC-u te promoviranje dobrovoljne provedbe BTWC-a prije ratifikacije/pridruživanja. U razdoblju od 2009. do 2013. četiri države pridružile su se Konvenciji. Uspostavljeni su komunikacijski kanali s nekoliko drugih država koje nisu potpisnice, u Aziji, Africi i Latinskoj Americi, a time su postavljeni temelji za buduće aktivnosti.

Provedbom Odluke Vijeća 2012/421/ZVSP od 23. srpnja 2012., odjeljenje UNODA-e (Jedinica za podršku pri provedbi – ISU) organiziralo je regionalne radionice za povećanje razumijevanja BTWC-a među relevantnim nacionalnim tijelima vlasti, jačanje regionalnog umrežavanja u svrhu promoviranja pridruživanju i provedbi BWC-a, prepoznavanje potreba u svrhu poticanja provedbe BTWC-a te stvaranje i/ili podršku nacionalnim i regionalnim udruženjima za biozaštitu u Kuala Lumpuru u Maleziji (3. i 4. studenoga) za južnu i jugoistočnu Aziju te u Mexico Cityju (13. i 14. studenoga) za Srednju Ameriku i Karibe. Također su organizirane nacionalne radionice u Quitou u Ekvadoru (14. listopada), Burkini Faso (2. i 3. prosinca) i Beninu (5. i 6. prosinca).

EU također podupire poboljšanja u području biozaštite i biosigurnosti. U tom pogledu, Odlukom Vijeća 2013/668/ZVSP, donesenom 18. studenoga 2013., više od 1,7 milijuna EUR predviđeno je u svrhu potpore, uz tehničku pomoć Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, projektima čiji je cilj promicanje, u nekim odabranim državama potpisnicama, svijesti o bioriziku, upravljanja biorizikom u laboratorijima te razvoja nacionalnih laboratorijskih strategija.

5.   PROJEKTILI

EU smatra Haški pravilnik protiv širenja balističkih projektila (HCoC) važnim multilateralnim instrumentom čiji je cilj suzbijanje širenja sustava balističkih projektila i povezanih tehnologija kroz mjere jačanja transparentnosti i povjerenja te ga je snažno podržavao još od njegova nastanka. Sve države članice EU-a potpisale su taj Pravilnik. EU nastavlja poticati i podupirati tri aspekta Pravilnika: univerzalnost, provedbu te pojačano i poboljšano funkcioniranje.

Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2012/423/ZVSP u potporu HCoC-u i neširenju projektila općenito, dana 15. siječnja 2013. EU je, zajedno s provedbenom agencijom Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), organizirao komemorativnu konferenciju u Beču kako bi se obilježila 10. obljetnica potpisivanja HCoC-a. Dana 31. svibnja 2013. na marginama redovnog godišnjeg sastanka HCoC-a, EU je organizirao informativno događanje u Beču, u potporu HCoC-u. Dodatne aktivnosti obuhvaćale su, u rujnu 2013. informativni događaj u Ženevi i sesiju podizanja svijesti o prijenosu raketne tehnologije u Parizu i još jedan dobro posjećen informativni sastanak na marginama Prvog odbora UNGA 11. listopada 2013. Stručna misija provedena je u Kini u rujnu 2013. i u Indiji početkom prosinca 2013. Prvi regionalni seminar održao se u Singapuru 27. studenoga 2013.

Osigurana je vidljivost EU-a, uključujući sudjelovanjem šefa delegacije EU-a i jasnim upućivanjima na financiranje EU-a što su ponovili gotovo svi govornici. Prijenos događanja i rasprava uživo putem interneta predstavljali su novinu.

25. plenarna sjednica MTCR-a održala se u Rimu od 16. do 18. listopada 2013. Dvije izjave EU-a iznesene su 16. i 17. listopada 2013. Priopćenje za medije s plenarne sjednice upućuje na Iran i Sjevernu Koreju kao trenutna krizna područja u pogledu širenja balističkih projektila.

6.   SMANJENJE RIZIKA OD KBRN-a

EU je nastavio napredovati u pogledu provedbe plana djelovanja EU-a za KBRN (kemijska, biološka, radiološka i nuklearna pitanja) donesenog 2009., a dosad je programom Sprečavanje i borba protiv kriminala (ISEC) podržano otprilike 30 projekata.

Pored toga, čitav niz istraživačkih projekata u području KBRN-a koje financira program Sigurno društvo unutar 7. okvirnog programa pruža znanstvenu i tehničku potporu planu djelovanja za KBRN kroz dostignuća u istraživanju koja obuhvaćaju cijeli ciklus upravljanja kriznim situacijama (od sprečavanja do oporavka). Također su u tijeku aktivnosti s ciljem identificiranja potreba standardizacije u ovom području koje bi mogle dovesti do standarda „Europskih normi” (EN). Predstojeći program Obzor 2020. (2014.–2020.), čiji je program usvojen 10. prosinca 2013., ojačat će trajne napore u istraživanju KBRN-a kroz fokusirane teme.

Izvješće o napretku provedbe plana djelovanja iz 2012. istaknulo je glavna dostignuća, posebno u pogledu poboljšane razmjene informacija i dobrih praksi, organizacije zajedničkih vježbi osposobljavanja i sporazuma o tri popisa EU-a visokorizičnih tvari u kemijskom, biološkom, odnosno radiološko-nuklearnom području.

S ciljem određivanja vizije za politiku u nadolazećim godinama, tijekom prvog semestra 2014. godine Komisija namjerava predstaviti Komunikaciju o novom sveobuhvatnom planu EU-a u području KBRN-E (eksplozivi) koji će se fokusirati na određeni broj prioritetnih područja s jasnom dodanom vrijednošću EU-a.

Kako bi se aktualni plan djelovanja proveo do 2015. godine i kako bi se definirao novi plan u području KBRN-E, Komisija usko surađuje s nadležnim tijelima države članice i s ostalim relevantnim dionicima u savjetodavnoj skupini KBRN-E i njezinim podskupinama koji se redovito sastaju.

Inicijativa „Centri izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a” (CoE), koja se financira putem Instrumenta za stabilnost, pokrenuta je u EU-u u svibnju 2010. Centri izvrsnosti u području KBRN-a stvaraju se kao odgovor na prepoznavanje nedovoljnog institucionalnog kapaciteta nekoliko zemalja za smanjenje rizika od KBRN-a: kaznenih djela (širenje KBRN-a ili terorizam), prirodnih (zoonoze i epidemije) i slučajnih katastrofa (nesreće na radu). Njihov je cilj razviti politiku u slučaju svih opasnosti u području KBRN-a na nacionalnoj i regionalnoj razini kako bi se ti rizici predvidjeli i kako bi se na njih odgovorilo. Ukratko, to su strukturne mjere za smanjenje ranjivosti zemalja u odnosu na kemijske, biološke, radiološke i nuklearne događaje u uzajamnom interesu regija i sigurnosti EU-a.

Način ostvarivanja ovog cilja je potpora stvaranju regionalnih mreža stručnog znanja u pravnim, regulatornim, tehničkim, kontrolnim i izvršnim pitanjima u vezi sa smanjenjem rizika od KBRN-a.

Šest regionalnih centara osniva se u: 1. Sjevernoj Africi (Alžir), 2. Atlantskom pročelju (Rabat), 3. Bliskom istoku (Amman), 4. Jugoistočnoj Europi – Južnom Kavkazu – R. Moldova – Ukrajina (Tbilisi), 5. Jugoistočnoj Aziji (Manila) i 6. Supsaharskoj Africi (Nairobi) i započeli su s radom. Sljedeći korak bit će otvaranje regionalnih Tajništva u središnjoj Aziji (Taškent – potrebno utvrditi) i zemljama Zaljeva (Abu Dhabi). Pored prethodno ugovorena trideset i tri projekta u iznosu od 26 milijuna EUR, novi projekti u iznosu od 10 milijuna EUR trenutno se ugovaraju s različitim konzorcijima, uključujući one iz država članica.

7.   SKUPINE ZA STRATEŠKO PROMIŠLJANJE

Na temelju Odluke Vijeća 2010/430/ZVSP od 26. srpnja 2010. rad EU-a u okviru Strategije EU-a za sprečavanje širenja oružja za masovno uništenje aktivno podržava Konzorcij EU-a za neširenje oružja koji je sa svojim djelovanjem započeo u siječnju 2011. Tijekom prve tri godine djelovanja mreža tog Konzorcija narasla je na preko 60 skupina za strateško promišljanje diljem Europe. Nakon uspješnih aktivnosti organiziranih u 2012. (prva „Konferencija EU-a o neširenju oružja i razoružanju” 3. i 4. veljače i seminar o području bez nuklearnog oružja i drugog oružja za masovno uništenje na Bliskom istoku 5. i 6. studenoga 2012.) nova godišnja međunarodna konferencija o neširenju oružja i razoružanju uspješno je održana 30. rujna i 1. listopada 2013., a njoj je prethodilo Drugo savjetovanje EU-a održano 17. i 18. lipnja 2013. U međuvremenu, Konzorcij je pojačao svoje istraživačke aktivnosti u suradnji s drugim europskim skupinama za strateško promišljanje u tom području i objavio je radne materijale relevantne za provedbu strategije za sprečavanje širenja OMU-a koji su dostupni na internetskoj stranici Konzorcija <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>. U smislu učinka, aktivnosti Konzorcija povećale su vidljivost EU-a u odnosu na treće zemlje i civilno društvo te su značajno doprinijele oblikovanju politike EU-a u području neširenja oružja i razoružanja. Konzorcij osigurava platformu za neslužbene kontakte među stručnjacima iz prakse i pomaže u poticanju dijaloga između različitih dionika. Ta je aktivnost doprinijela podizanju svijesti o izazovima nuklearnog, kemijskog i biološkog oružja. Pripremljena je nova Odluka koju bi Vijeće trebalo donijeti početkom 2014. kako bi se osiguralo da Konzorcij može nastaviti s djelovanjem u razdoblju od 2014. do 2016. Nova Odluka Konzorciju bi povjerila nastavak tradicionalnih aktivnosti i poduzimanje novih projekata.

8.   REZOLUCIJA VIJEĆA SIGURNOSTI UJEDINJENIH NARODA 1540 I KONTROLE IZVOZA

(a)   RVSUN 1540

Dana 22. srpnja 2013. Vijeće je donijelo novu Odluku Vijeća u potporu RSVUN-a 1540. Provodi je UNODA koja organizira regionalne radionice i posjete pomoći zemljama diljem svijeta. Provedba ove Odluke Vijeća, koja je započela 24. listopada 2013., pomoći će u jačanju relevantnih nacionalnih i regionalnih napora, doprinijeti praktičnom ispunjenju preporuka iz sveobuhvatnog preispitivanja statusa provedbe RVSUN-a 1540 iz 2009. godine te pokrenuti i razviti nacionalne planove djelovanja na zahtjev država.

UNODA je potpisao sporazum s OESS-om koji bi trebao dovesti do sinergije u potporu RVSUN-u 1540. Potrebno je težiti sinergiji i koordinaciji i s Centrima izvrsnosti EU-a u području KBRN-a, kako bi se izbjegla eventualna udvostručenja.

(b)   Kontrole izvoza

Europska komisija dovršila je drugu fazu u pregledu režima kontrole izvoza EU-a usvajanjem izvješća za Europski parlament i Vijeće o provedbi Uredbe (EZ) br. 428/2009 u razdoblju od 2010. do 2012. Izvješće opisuje najnovije promjene pravila i propisa u vezi s kontrolom izvoza te mjere poduzete kako bi se osigurala dosljednost kontrola izvoza diljem EU-a. Također sadrži prvu sistematsku procjenu podataka licenciranja diljem EU-a i određuje stajališta dionika što se tiče učinaka kontrola izvoza na sigurnost i trgovinu te što se tiče potrebe za usklađenjem parametara kontrole s promjenama u sigurnosnim, tehnološkim i gospodarskim okolnostima.

S regulatorne strane, nastavile su se rasprave o predloženoj izmjeni Uredbe 428/2009 o robi s dvojnom namjenom radi ubrzanja ažuriranja kontrolnih popisa robe EU-a s dvojnom namjenom, a u rujnu i prosincu 2013. održali su se trijaloški sastanci radi zaključivanja prvog čitanja prijedloga.

Provedba kontrole izvoza podržana je putem dva sastanka Koordinacijske skupine za robu s dvojnom namjenom, uključujući zajednički sastanak s predstavnicima carinskih uprava u studenome 2013. Koordinacijska skupina za robu s dvojnom namjenom također je pripremila smjernice za savjetovanja između nadležnih tijela.

U kontaktu s „Radnom skupinom za visoku tehnologiju” u listopadu 2013. osigurana je uska suradnja s partnerima i trećim zemljama i, posebice, ostvaren je dijalog s Kinom u pogledu kontrole izvoza.

Ostvarena je koordinacija EU-a s ciljem promicanja dogovorenih stajališta EU-a na relevantnim sastancima režimâ kontrole izvoza održanim u drugom semsestru (Skupina nuklearnih dobavljača: Savjetodavna skupina u studenome 2013., Sporazum iz Wassenaara: Opća radna skupina u listopadu 2013. i plenarna sjednica u studenome 2013.; Australska skupina: plenarna sjednica u lipnju 2013.; MTCR: plenarna sjednica u listopadu 2013.). EU (kao dio tima radnog predsjedništva EU-a) predstavio je svoje informativne aktivnosti u području kontrola izvoza konvencionalnog oružja i robe s dvojnom namjenom na Općoj radnoj skupini za Sporazum iz Wassenaara u listopadu 2013.

Nastavilo se s programom informiranja o kontroli izvoza EU-a za jačanje administrativnog kapaciteta u trećim zemljama (23) u pogledu robe s dvojnom namjenom. Program se financira u okviru Instrumenta za stabilnost.

9.   SVEMIR

Od 2007. EU radi na poticanju razvoja Međunarodnog kodeksa ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru. Ovaj međunarodni i dobrovoljni skup smjernica poboljšao bi sigurnost, zaštitu i predvidljivost svih aktivnosti u svemiru. Takve bi smjernice trebale, između ostalog, ograničiti ili maksimalno umanjiti štetne smetnje, sudare ili nesreće u svemiru, kao i stvaranje krhotina. Odredile bi osnovna pravila koja bi morale poštovati nacije koje putuju u svemir u civilnim i vojnim aktivnostima u svemiru.

Dana 5. lipnja 2012. EU je međunarodnoj zajednici u Beču predstavio novi nacrt, razrađen nakon niza savjetovanja s ključnim nacijama koje putuju u svemir.

Nakon Otvorenog savjetovanja o nacrtu teksta koje je održano u Kijevu 16. i 17. svibnja 2013., na kojem je sudjelovalo oko 140 predstavnika iz 61 zemlje, tekst je revidiran. Drugi krug savjetovanja o revidiranom tekstu održan je u Bangkoku od 20. do 22. studenoga 2013., a na njemu je sudjelovalo 66 zemalja i organizacija te 133 sudionika. Sastanak u Bangkoku bio je poticajan zbog temeljite rasprave o samom tekstu gdje su postupovna pitanja imala tek sporednu ulogu. Kako bi proces postao transparentniji i uključiviji, posebni izaslanik održao je savjetovanja tijekom godine sa značajnim brojem zemalja, uključujući posjete Pekingu i Moskvi uoči savjetovanja u Bangkoku.

U okviru Odluke Vijeća 2012/281/ZVSP od 29. svibnja 2012. u potporu prijedloga Unije o Međunarodnom kodeksu ponašanja za aktivnosti u svemiru, provedbena agencija (Institut Ujedinjenih naroda za istraživanje razoružanja – UNIDIR) upravljao je aktivnostima za podizanje svijesti o Kodeksu te za potporu multilateralnom procesu. UNIDIR je održao niz regionalnih seminara (u Kuala Lumpuru, Adis Abebi, Meksiku i Astani) i organizirao tri veća multilateralna sastanka koja su održali EU/ESVD u Beču, Kijevu i Bangkoku. U slučaju sastanaka u Kijevu i Bangkoku, putni troškovi bili su financirani kako bi se olakšalo sudjelovanje službenika i stručnjaka iz trećih zemalja.

Kako je navedeno u uvodu, posebni izaslanik uložio je značajan napor u proces povezan sa studijom UN-ove Skupine vladinih stručnjaka (GGE) o mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja (TCBM) u vezi s aktivnostima u svemiru. Pozitivan ishod studije, koja sadrži korisna upućivanja na prijedlog Kodeksa EU-a, potaknuo je sve države članice EU-a da zajednički podrže Rezoluciju o mjerama transparentnosti i izgradnje povjerenja u vezi s aktivnostima u svemiru na Prvom odboru UNGA, koju je Odbor usvojio konsenzusom.

10.   KLAUZULE O SPREČAVANJU ŠIRENJA OMU-a

EU je nastavio, u skladu sa svojom Strategijom za sprečavanje širenja OMU-a, uključivati sprečavanje širenja OMU-a u ugovorne odnose s trećim zemljama.

Održali su se pregovori o klauzulama o sprečavanju širenja OMU-a u relevantnim sporazumima između EU-a i trećih zemalja, posebno Bruneja, Japana i Kazakstana. Pregovori doprinose podizanju svijesti o politici EU-a u vezi sa sprečavanjem širenja oružja i razoružanjem te osiguravaju forum za poboljšanje uzajamnog razumijevanja relevantnih stajališta, utvrđivanje mogućih područja za buduću suradnju i poticanje zemalja partnera da ostvare konkretan napredak u pogledu međunarodnog režima sprečavanja širenja oružja.

11.   OSTALI MULTILATERALNI FORUMI

G8

EU je igrao aktivnu ulogu na sastancima Upravne skupine za neširenje oružja i razoružanje u pripremi Izjave o neširenju oružja na sastanku na vrhu Skupine G8 te je pomogao u provođenju nekoliko demarša o nacionalnoj provedbi Dodatnog protokola IAEA-e i RVSUN-a 1540, zajedno s predsjedništvom Ujedinjene Kraljevine.

Od svog osnivanja 2002. godine, Globalno partnerstvo (GP) proširilo se izvan Skupine G8 i postalo je platforma za koordinaciju i suradnju, sa 17 dodatnih partnera. Na sastanku na vrhu u Deauvilleu u svibnju 2011. čelnici su se složili da će dodatno ojačati biološku sigurnost, provedbu RVSUN-a 1540 i nuklearnu sigurnost. SAD u 2012. i Ujedinjena Kraljevina u 2013. posebno su se posvetili ovom planu, posebno stvaranjem četiri nove radne podskupine o biološkoj sigurnosti, kemijskoj sigurnosti, nuklearnoj sigurnosti i Centrima izvrsnosti (CoE) u okviru Radne skupine GP-a. Jedan od prioriteta u proteklih šest mjeseci bilo je uključivanje (drugih) regionalnih organizacija kao i jačanje regionalnog vlasništva. Centri izvrsnosti EU-a, koji su bili na izvorištu radne podskupine za CoE, dobili su zamah u okviru Globalnog partnerstva Skupine G8, posebice kao alat za olakšavanje regionalne razmjene informacija i, eventualno, izbjegavanje dupliciranja među donatorima.

12.   SASTANCI U OKVIRU POLITIČKOG DIJALOGA

Sastanci u okviru političkog dijaloga o neširenju oružja i razoružanju, koje je uglavnom sazivao posebni izaslanik, organizirani su s Rusijom (u Moskvi), Brazilom (u Bruxellesu) i Kinom (u Pekingu). Također je održao brojna neslužbena savjetovanja s raznim subjektima, uključujući na marginama važnih događanja poput Opće konferencije IAEA-e u Beču (s Republikom Korejom), Prvog odbora UNGA u New Yorku (uključujući Indiju, Sjedinjene Države, Rusiju, Tajništvo UN-a, Južnu Afriku), Upravne skupine za neširenje oružja u okviru Skupine G8 u Londonu (s Kanadom), kao i s Kazakstanom (u Astani). EU je uskladio svoja stajališta sa SAD-om na godišnjem dijalogu na visokoj razini između EU28 i SAD-a o neširenju oružja, razoružanju, nadzoru oružja i ublažavanju rizika od KBRN-a održanom 13. prosinca 2013. u Bruxellesu.

Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders.

Strengthening Capacities in CBRN Response and in Chemical and Medical Emergency

The CBRN emergency response needs to be identified and prioritised per country. Comprehensive technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, mitigation, containment and disposal should also be elaborated. CBRN incidents require full utilization of national resources to respond to and mitigate the consequences of such emergencies. The main responsibility in cases of CBRN emergencies falls upon first responders. It is therefore essential that countries build upon their national resources to mitigate and respond to the consequences of an emergency situation. Best-practices should thus be exchanged amongst these first responders at MIE regional level and CBRN risk mitigation knowledge developed. It should also result in increased awareness of stocks of hazardous chemical agents, their pre-cursors as this is one of the means of targeting illicit use and/or trafficking of WMD.
