SEŠU MĒNEŠU PROGRESA ZIŅOJUMS PAR TO, KĀ TIEK ĪSTENOTA ES STRATĒĢIJA MASU IZNĪCINĀŠANAS IEROČU IZPLATĪŠANAS NOVĒRŠANAI (2013/II)

2014/C 54/01

IEVADS

Saskaņā ar Eiropadomes 2003. gada decembrī pieņemto ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai (dok. 15708/03) ir paredzēts, ka ik pēc sešiem mēnešiem jāsniedz progresa ziņojums par stratēģijas īstenošanu. Šis progresa ziņojums aptver darbības, kas veiktas 2013. gada otrajā pusē.

Saskaņā ar Eiropas Drošības stratēģijas, ES MII neizplatīšanas stratēģijas un Jauno Eiropas Savienības darbības līniju (dok. 17172/08) mērķiem ES pamatprincipi šajā jomā joprojām ir šādi:

| i) | ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panākt patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšanu un īstenošanu valstu līmenī; |
| --- | --- |

i)

ar diplomātisku rīcību un trešām valstīm un starptautiskām organizācijām sniegta finansiāla atbalsta starpniecību panākt patiešām daudzpusējas attiecības, tostarp starptautisku līgumu, konvenciju un citu instrumentu universāluma veicināšanu un īstenošanu valstu līmenī;

| ii) | cieša sadarbība ar partnervalstīm un citām trešām valstīm ar mērķi panākt vispārēju viedokļu sakritību jautājumā par to, ka ir jāstiprina starptautiskais MII neizplatīšanas režīms. Ir turpinājušies centieni ieroču neizplatīšanas jautājumiem pievērsties divpusējās ES attiecībās ar visām attiecīgajām valstīm, it īpaši politiska dialoga sanāksmēs un neoficiālākā saziņā; |

iii)

visu pieejamo instrumentu un finanšu resursu (KĀDP budžeta, Stabilitātes instrumenta un citu instrumentu) efektīvs un savstarpēji papildinošs izmantojums, lai panāktu uz ES ārpolitikas mērķu izpildi vērsto darbību maksimālu iedarbīgumu.

Tādēļ darbs tiek rūpīgi saskaņots ar plašāka mēroga drošības politiku un ES veiktajām konfliktu novēršanas darbībām.

2013. gada otrajā pusgadā EĀDD galvenais padomdevējs un īpašais sūtnis neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumos Eiropas Savienību pārstāvēja vairākās būtiskās starptautiskās sanāksmēs (proti, SAEA Vispārējā konferencē, ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksmē, G8 valstu MII neizplatīšanas direktoru grupas sanāksmē, gadskārtējā Ķīmisko ieroču aizlieguma organizācijas (OPCW) dalībvalstu sanāksmē, beztermiņa konsultāciju kārtā par Rīcības kodeksu attiecībā uz kosmosā veiktām darbībām, ES Ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konferencē).

2013. gada otrajā pusgadā īpašais sūtnis īpašu uzmanību pievērsa šādām darbībām:

| — | pastiprināt centienus, lai uzturētu spēkā Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumu (tostarp tā X pantu par izstāšanos). Tā joprojām ir viena no svarīgākajām ES prioritātēm, ņemot vērā arī tās tiešo saistību ar būtiskākajām reģionālajām izplatīšanas novēršanas problēmām Irānā un Korejas Tautas Demokrātiskajā Republikā. Tā kā Ženēvā rīkotās otrās Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmes (2013. gada 23. aprīlis–3. maijs) gaisotni aizēnoja tas, ka 2012. gadā netika sasaukta Konference par no kodolieročiem un citiem masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem (MII) brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos, tika pastiprināti centieni, lai pārvarētu izraisīto vilšanos un turpinātu procesa virzību uz priekšu. Saistībā ar minēto ES turpināja atbalstīt Somijas ieceltā koordinatora centienus veicināt attiecīgo pušu dialogu, šim nolūkam arī ar ES MII neizplatīšanas konsorcija palīdzību rīkojot neformālus seminārus, |

Īpašais sūtnis iesaistījās vairākās divpusējās izpratnes veicināšanas sanāksmēs, kas tika rīkotas ar galvenajām partnervalstīm, tostarp Brazīliju, Ķīnu un Krieviju. Lai ietekmētu pētījuma rezultātus, kuru ANO izveidotā valdības ekspertu grupa veic attiecībā uz pārredzamības un paļāvības veicināšanas pasākumiem saistībā ar kosmosā veiktām darbībām, īpašais sūtnis ANO izveidotajai valdības ekspertu grupai Ženēvas (2013. gada 2. aprīlis) un Ņujorkas (2013. gada 10. jūlijs) sanāksmē sniedza informāciju, lai nodrošinātu, ka tekstā tiek ņemts vērā darbs, ko Eiropas Savienība saskaņā ar kodeksu ir ieguldījusi. Attiecībā uz kodeksa projektu viņš vadīja beztermiņa konsultāciju kārtas, kuras notika 2013. gada 16. un 17. maijā Kijevā un 2013. gada 20.–22. novembrī Bangkokā un abās sanāksmēs kopā pulcēja aptuveni 140 pārstāvju vairāk nekā no 60 valstīm, |

Īpašais sūtnis Bilica (Bylica) vadīja ES delegāciju ANO ĢA Pirmajā komitejā un piedalījās vispārējās debatēs. Viņš piedalījās arī Konvencijai par ķīmiskajiem ieročiem pievienojušos valstu astoņpadsmitajā sanāksmē (Hāga, 2013. gada 2.–6. decembris) un sniedza ES paziņojumu.

1.   KODOLJAUTĀJUMI

ES Padomes MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu darba grupa (CONOP) ciešā sadarbībā ar attiecīgajām ES delegācijām aktīvi palīdzēja sagatavot ES nostāju SAEA valdes sanāksmēm 2013. gada septembrī un novembrī un SAEA Vispārējai konferencei 2013. gada septembrī. Tā deva stratēģiskas norādes un izstrādāja ES devumu citiem starptautiskiem pasākumiem, piemēram, Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupas (NSG) konsultatīvās grupas sanāksmei, Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) XIV panta konferencei, Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizācijas (CTBTO) Sagatavošanas komisijas sanāksmēm, Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma, Austrālijas grupas un citām attiecīgām sanāksmēm tās kompetencē. Tā sāka gatavot ES devumu trešajai KNL Sagatavošanas komitejas sanāksmei (2014. gada 28. aprīlis–9. maijs). Tā ir sagatavojusi Padomes secinājumus (ko Ārlietu padome pieņēma 2013. gada 21. oktobrī) par to, lai nodrošinātu, ka tiek turpināta efektīvas ES politikas īstenošana attiecībā uz jaunajām problēmām, ko rada masu iznīcināšanas ieroču (MII) un to piegādes sistēmu izplatīšana.

1.1.   Pasākumi pēc 2010. gada Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līguma (KNL) pārskatīšanas konferences

Lai sagatavotu 2015. gadā plānoto pārskatīšanas konferenci, 2013. gada 19. februāraCONOP sanāksmē notika apspriešanās ar otrās KNL Sagatavošanas komitejas priekšsēdētāju un 11. novembraCONOP sanāksmē notika apspriešanās ar iecelto KNL pārskatīšanas konferences Galvenās komitejas II priekšsēdētāju. Ar tādu pašu mērķi tika izveidotas trīs neformālas “priekšsēdētāja draugu” darba apakšgrupas, kuras vada ES dalībvalstis un kurās piedalās EĀDD, proti, lai sagatavotu ES devumu 2015. gadā plānotajam KNL pārskatīšanas ciklam.

Attiecībā uz KNL pārskatīšanas cikla galveno tematu – no MII brīvas zonas izveidi Tuvajos Austrumos – Augstā pārstāve 2013. gada 1. jūlija paziņojumā vēlreiz apstiprināja, ka ES stratēģiska prioritāte joprojām ir atbalstīt mieru un stabilitāti visos Tuvajos Austrumos, un vēlreiz pauda nožēlu, ka tika atlikta konference par šādas zonas izveidi, par kuru bija panākta vienošanās 2010. gada KNL pārskatīšanas konferencē un kuru bija paredzēts rīkot 2012. gadā.

ES turpināja pilnībā atbalstīt notiekošos sekmīgas konferences sagatavošanas darbus un it īpaši tās koordinatora Somijas vēstnieka Lājavas (Laajava) un viņa komandas nenogurdināmos centienus šajā ziņā likt pamatus. Oficiālās ar Arābu valstu līgu un vairākām arābu valstīm rīkotās sanāksmēs Eiropas Savienība visas puses reģionā aicināja steidzami un proaktīvi sadarboties ar koordinatoru un konferences rīkotājiem, lai konferenci varētu sasaukt, cik drīz vien iespējams. EĀDD visos līmeņos uzturēja ciešu saziņu ar koordinatoru un viņa komandu.

1.2.   Starptautiskā Atomenerģijas aģentūra (SAEA)

ES ir pastiprinājusi atbalstu Starptautiskajai Atomenerģijas aģentūrai (SAEA) Vīnē. ES joprojām ir viena no galvenajām līdzekļu devējām, kopš 2004. gada Kodoldrošības fondā iemaksājot gandrīz EUR 40 miljonu (ieskaitot nesenākās saistības aģentūrai maksāt EUR 8,05 miljonus, kā pamatā ir Padomes Lēmums 2013/517/KĀDP (2013. gada 21. oktobris)). Turklāt saistībā ar kodoldrošību ES ir sniegusi tehniskās zināšanas SAEA rīkotu un trešām valstīm paredzētu mācību un darbsemināru vajadzībām, lai uzlabotu spējas apkarot kodolmateriālu un citu radioaktīvu materiālu nelikumīgu tirdzniecību. ES un SAEA turpināja koordinēt savu palīdzību trešām valstīm šajā jomā. Ir sākušies sagatavošanās darbi otrajai gadskārtējai ES un SAEA augstāko amatpersonu līmeņa sanāksmei (SOM), kurā ir iesaistīti EĀDD, Eiropas Komisija/Euratom un SAEA pārstāvji augstāko amatpersonu līmenī un kuru ir paredzēts rīkot 2014. gada 20. un 21. februārī Vīnē. Šo sanāksmju mērķis ir pastiprināt sadarbību visās SAEA darbības jomās, uzlabot ES devuma pamanāmību un vēl vairāk saskaņot ES rīcību, lai nodrošinātu papildināmību un izvairītos no to darbību pārklāšanās, kuras ES CBRN izcilības centri un SAEA veic kodoldrošības jomā (šajā nolūkā ES (Kopīgais pētniecības centrs) un SAEA ir arī vienojušās par praktisko kārtību, kā sadarbība tiks vadīta).

Ar Padomes secinājumiem Eiropas Savienība kopš 2008. gada ir apņēmusies nodrošināt līdz EUR 25 miljoniem SAEA mazbagātināta urāna (LEU – Low Enriched Uranium) bankai. Bankas atbalstam ES no Stabilitātes instrumenta ir piešķīrusi EUR 20 miljonu. Pamatojoties uz Padomes lēmumu, ir paredzēts veikt otru ieguldījumu no KĀDP budžeta. Padome vēl nav devusi apstiprinājumu, jo negaidīti lēnām uz priekšu virzās dažādu nolīgumu pabeigšana, tostarp SAEA un Kazahstānas Uzņēmējvalsts nolīguma pabeigšana.

Kodolmateriālu drošības mehānismu jomā Eiropas Komisijas Kodolmateriālu drošības direktorāts drošības mehānismus turpina piemērot visiem kodolmateriāliem, kas paredzēti nemilitāriem mērķiem, visās 28 ES dalībvalstīs, tam ik gadu paredzot budžetu aptuveni EUR 20 miljonu apmērā. Drošības mehānismu kontroles darbības tiek koordinētas ciešā sadarbībā ar SAEA.

Šajā jomā SAEA un Komisija nepārtraukti uzlabo savu sadarbību, lai optimāli izmantotu cilvēkresursus un finanšu resursus, vienlaikus saglabājot pēc iespējas vislielāko drošības mehānismu efektivitāti. Eiropas Savienība ar Eiropas Komisijas Kooperatīvā atbalsta programmas starpniecību turpināja arī SAEA sniegt būtisku tehnisko atbalstu kodolmateriālu drošības mehānismu jomā, lai nodrošinātu kodoltehnoloģijas mierīga izmantojuma drošu un neapdraudētu īstenošanu trešās valstīs.

2013. gada 17. septembrī – līdztekus Vīnē notiekošajai SAEA Vispārējai konferencei – SAEA ģenerāldirektors Jukija Amano (Yukiya Amano) un Eiropas enerģētikas komisārs Ginters Etingers (Günther Oettinger) parakstīja Saprašanās memorandu par kodoldrošību, kas veido pamatu sadarbībai, kuras mērķis ir uzlabot kodoldrošību Eiropā. Memorands ir viens no būtiskajiem konkrētajiem rezultātiem, kuri gūti pirmajā ES un SAEA augstāko amatpersonu sanāksmē, kas 2013. gada 25. janvārī notika Briselē.

Lai gan ES jau ir piešķīrusi EUR 10 miljonu, lai atbalstītu starptautisku projektu – Austrijas Zaibersdorfas (Seibersdorf) drošības mehānismu laboratorijas paplašināšanu un modernizāciju (jau pārskaitot EUR 9,50 miljonus), SAEA vērsās pie starptautiskiem līdzekļu devējiem, tostarp pie ES, ar lūgumu dot ieguldījumu arī Zaibersdorfas kodolierīču laboratorijas modernizācijai.

Ekspertu līmenī Eiropas Komisija sadarbībā ar SAEA ir uzsākusi procesu, lai izvērtētu SAEA nelikumīgās tirdzniecības datubāzes (Illicit Trafficking Database – ITDB) atbilstību lietotāju vajadzībām un atbalstītu tās uzlabošanu. Ir izstrādāts un tiks iesniegts SAEA paraugprakses dokuments par saskaņotu paziņošanas kultūru. Lai modernizētu paziņošanas līdzekļus, 2013. gada oktobrī sāka izstrādāt tīmekļa negadījumu paziņošanas forumu (web-INF – Incident Notification Form), un tas tiks pabeigts 2014. gadā.

Līdzekļi, ko Eiropas Savienības saskaņā ar I –IV vienoto rīcību un Padomes Lēmumu V ir nodrošinājusi SAEA, ir palīdzējuši SAEA centienos stiprināt kodoldrošību trešās valstīs, prioritāti piešķirot tām valstīm, kurām visvairāk ir jāuzlabo sava radioaktīvā materiāla un kodolmateriāla kontrole, un tādējādi palīdzot samazināt apdraudējumu. Centieni bija vērsti uz to, lai stiprinātu valstu likumdošanas un reglamentēšanas infrastruktūru, kas saistīta ar kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, kodoldrošības pasākumiem, kurus piemēro izmantošanā esošajiem kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, to uzglabāšanai un transportam un ar to saistītajām iekārtām, un stiprinātu valstu spējas rīkoties attiecībā uz kodolmateriāliem un radioaktīvajiem materiāliem, kas nav valstu regulatīvajā kontrolē, tādējādi atbalstītajām valstīm dodot iespēju pildīt savus valsts un starptautiskos pienākumus. Nesenākais Padomes Lēmums (SAEA VI, 2013/517/KĀDP), kas pieņemts 2013. gada 21. oktobrī, palīdzēs vēl vairāk uzlabot kodoldrošību pasaulē un nostiprināt Eiropas drošību, sniedzot atbalstu SAEA darbībām, kas tiek veiktas saistībā ar Kodoldrošības plānu (2014–2017), galvenokārt jomās, kas minētas iepriekš.

1.3.   Līgums par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT)

ES aktīvi veicināja Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu (CTBT) drīzu stāšanos spēkā, balstoties uz attiecīgajiem Padomes lēmumiem (Lēmums 2010/461/KĀDP (2010. gada 26. jūlijs) un Lēmums 2012/699/KĀDP (2012. gada 13. novembris)), lai atbalstītu Līguma par kodolizmēģinājumu vispārējo aizliegumu organizāciju (CTBTO), un šim nolūkam veicot izpratnes uzlabošanas pasākumus attiecībā uz visām valstīm, kuras vēl nav parakstījušas vai ratificējušas CTBT, tostarp atlikušajām 2. pielikumā minētajām valstīm, kurām līgums ir jāratificē, lai tas varētu stāties spēkā. ES turpinās uzlabot informētību par CTBT dažādās situācijās, tostarp politiskā dialoga sanāksmēs, lai radītu papildu impulsu minētā līguma ratificēšanai.

Ar šādu domu ES vērsās pie ANO Ģenerālās asamblejas neformālās sesijas, ar ko tika atzīmēta Starptautiskā diena pret kodolizmēģinājumiem (2013. gada 5. septembris), kā arī pie CTBT XIV panta konferences 2013. gada 27. septembrī, lai vēl vairāk iestātos par līguma stāšanos spēkā. 2013. gada 30. septembrī un 1. oktobrī Briseli apmeklēja CTBTO izpildsekretārs, kurš kā galvenais referents uzstājās ES ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konferencē un rīkoja tikšanās ar vairākiem svarīgākajiem ES ierēdņiem.

Konkrētāks darbs tika veikts 2013. gada jūnijā, kad ES sadarbībā ar CTBTO pagaidu tehnisko sekretariātu rīkoja papildpasākumu par ES atbalstu Sagatavošanas komisijas darbībām un ieviesa ES godalgu saistībā ar 2013. gada CTBTO zinātnes un tehnoloģiju konferenci.

2013. gada 30. un 31. oktobrī ES kopā ar CTBTO un Angolas valsts iestādēm Luandā rīkoja kopīgu CTBT semināru, lai veicinātu to, ka Angola, viena no svarīgākajām reģiona valstīm, ratificē līgumu, un semināra laikā tā apņēmās turpmākajos mēnešos līgumu ratificēt. ES turpinās kopā ar CTBTO darboties citās valstīs, lai pavirzītos tuvāk mērķim – CTBT universāluma panākšanai. ES pētī arī iespējas, kā palīdzēt pēc CTBTO izpildsekretāra iniciatīvas nesen izveidotajai Izcilu personību grupai, kuras mērķis ir turpināt veicināt līguma stāšanos spēkā.

KTDR 2013. gada 12. februārī veiktais kodolizmēģinājums un iespējamu turpmāku izmēģinājumu risks ir skaidri pierādījis, cik patiesībā svarīgs ir CTBTO noteikšanas staciju tīkls, kas ir vēl viens projekts, ko ES atbalsta ar saviem Padomes lēmumiem. Ir mobilizētas CTBTO grupas, lai visām CTBT parakstījušajām valstīm sniegtu attiecīgos operatīvos datus, kas vajadzīgi lēmumu pieņēmēju informācijai. 2013. gada februārī veiktais kodolizmēģinājums ir apliecinājis arī to, cik svarīgi ir rīkot tādus pasākumus kā integrētais lauka izmēģinājums, kas 2014. gadā tiks rīkots Jordānijā, lai testētu un uzlabotu reālās noteikšanas sistēmas. Darbs saistībā ar 321 papildu seismiskās stacijas uzturēšanu, ko atbalsta ar vienotajām rīcībām / Padomes lēmumiem I–V, un CTBTO Starptautiskā datu centra izveide (kurš vāc, analizē un izplata datus, kas nāk no staciju tīkla) sekmēs nepieciešamo sistēmas ilgtspēju.

Ir sākts izpētes darbs, un tas turpināsies, lai ar ES finansējumu turpinātu atbalstīt CTBTO Sagatavošanas komitejas darbības.

1.4.   Reģionāli jautājumi (Irāna, KTDR)

ES turpināja darbu, lai ar sarunu starpniecību panāktu Irānas kodoljautājuma diplomātisku risinājumu, balstoties uz Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas līgumu (KNL) un visu atbilstīgo ANO Drošības padomes un SAEA valdes rezolūciju pilnīgu īstenošanu. Pēc trim E3/ES+3 sarunu kārtām, kas oktobrī un novembrī Ženēvā tika rīkotas ar jauno Irānas kodoljautājumu sarunu grupu, ES Augstā pārstāve kopā ar E3+3 valstu (Ķīnas, Francijas, Vācijas, Krievijas, Apvienotās Karalistes un ASV) ārlietu ministriem sekmīgi noslēdza 24. novembra sanāksmi Ženēvā, kurā ar Irānu tika panākta vienošanās (tā dēvētais Kopējas rīcības plāns) kā pirmais solis ceļā uz vispārēju risinājumu Irānas kodolprogrammai.

2013. gada 11. novembrī SAEA ģenerāldirektors un Irānas viceprezidents Teherānā parakstīja “Kopīgu paziņojumu par sadarbības pamatsistēmu”, lai pastiprinātu aģentūras un Irānas sadarbību un dialogu. Iesākumam Irāna un SAEA ir vienojušās par sākotnēji sešiem praktiskiem pasākumiem, kas Irānai jāpaveic trīs mēnešos.

Attiecībā uz KTDR ES turpināja mudināt KTDR ievērot saistības, ko tā ir uzņēmusies saskaņā ar attiecīgajām ANO Drošības padomes rezolūcijām, cita starpā pilnībā, pārbaudāmi un neatgriezeniski pārtraukt visas savas pastāvošās kodolieroču un ballistisko raķešu programmas. ES stingri nosodīja KTDR 2013. gada 12. februārī veikto kodolizmēģinājumu, kas bija klajš ar ANO Drošības padomes Rezolūciju 1718, 1874 un 2087 noteikto starptautisko saistību pārkāpums, kura rezultātā tika pieņemta ANO DP Rezolūcija 2094. ES turpināja aicināt KTDR atkal nodrošināt pilnīgu atbilstību KNL un SAEA drošības pasākumu saistībām un sniegt SAEA lūgto piekļuvi atsevišķām personām, dokumentiem, aprīkojumam un iekārtām. ES ir nemitīgi atbalstījusi sešu pušu sarunu procesa atsākšanu un ir aicinājusi KTDR atkal iesaistīties ticamās un patiesās starptautiskās sarunās. Papildus ANO Drošības padomes rezolūciju īstenošanai ES ir ieviesusi arī papildu autonomus ierobežojošus pasākumus, tostarp stingrāku kontroli attiecībā uz divējāda lietojuma precēm un parasto ieroču izplatīšanu. ES atjaunoja aicinājumu KTDR, mudinot to ratificēt CTBT un atturēties no turpmākām provokācijām.

2.   ATBRUŅOŠANĀS KONFERENCE / LĪGUMS PAR AIZLIEGUMU RAŽOT KODOLIEROČU UN CITU KODOLSPRĀDZIENIERĪČU IZSTRĀDEI PAREDZĒTUS SKALDMATERIĀLUS / ANO 68. ĢA

ANO 68. ĢA Pirmās komitejas Rezolūcijā attiecībā uz ziņojumu par Atbruņošanās konferenci, kuru iesniedza Atbruņošanās konferences priekšsēdētāja Īrija, Atbruņošanās konference tika aicināta rast izeju no strupceļa, pieņemot un īstenojot līdzsvarotu un visaptverošu darba programmu. Tajā atzinīgi tiek vērtēts Lēmums CD/1956/Rev.1, ar ko darba programmas izstrādei tiek izveidota neoficiāla darba grupa. ANO ĢA Pirmajā komitejā ES izteica cerības, ka neoficiālā darba grupa panāks konkrētus un manāmus rezultātus. ES arī skaidri norādīja, ka saskaņā ar tās ilgstošajām saistībām paplašināt Atbruņošanās konferenci tā stingri atbalsta īpaša par līdzdalības paplašināšanu atbildīga koordinatora iecelšanu. Ievērojot Eiropas Savienības sadarbību ar pilsonisko sabiedrību, ES atbalstīja arī uzlabotu mijiedarbību starp pilsonisko sabiedrību un Atbruņošanās konferenci, tādējādi pastiprinot NVO un pētniecības institūtu devumu konferences darbā.

Viena no svarīgākajām ES prioritātēm joprojām ir Atbruņošanās konferencē nekavējoties sākt sarunas attiecībā uz Līgumu par aizliegumu ražot kodolieroču un citu kodolsprādzienierīču izstrādei paredzētus skaldmateriālus, pamatojoties uz dokumentu CD/1299 un tajā ietverto pilnvarojumu, un panākt drīzu sarunu noslēgumu. Kodolatbruņošanās jomā šāds līgums ir steidzami vajadzīgs, lai papildinātu KNL un CTBT. ES pauda gandarījumu par valdības ekspertu grupu, kura tika izveidota ar Ģenerālās asamblejas Rezolūciju 67/53 un kurai ir jātiekas 2014. un 2015. gadā.

ANO 68. ĢA plenārsēdēs ES delegācija sniedza kopumā sešus ES paziņojumus (vispārēju paziņojumu, kā arī ES nostāju par kodolieročiem, par atbruņošanās mehānismu, par citiem masu iznīcināšanas ieročiem, par parastajiem ieročiem un par kosmosu). ES regulāri piedalījās interaktīvās debatēs/paneļdiskusijās. Attiecīgi, balstoties uz iepriekš pieņemtiem uzstāšanās aspektiem, EĀDD iesniedza komentārus/jautājumus, piemēram, viedokļu apmaiņā ar Augsto pārstāvi atbruņošanās jautājumos un ar citām augsta līmeņa amatpersonām, ar ģenerālsekretāra vietnieku Kimu Vonu Sū (Kim Won Soo) par izmaiņu pārvaldību, paneļdiskusijā par atbruņošanās mehānismu un Valdības ekspertu grupas (VEG) priekšēdētāja ievadpasākumā par pārredzamības un paļāvības veicināšanas pasākumiem saistībā ar kosmosā veiktām darbībām.

Attiecībā uz ES rīcību saistībā ar rezolūcijām, kas tika iesniegtas Pirmajā komitejā, ES dalībvalstis kopā balsoja 32 reizes, ieskaitot balsojumus par atsevišķiem punktiem. Visas ES dalībvalstis kopīgi bija deviņu rezolūciju līdzautores. Kopumā 11 reizes ES dalībvalstis nevarēja panākt kopēju balsojumu.

Līdztekus darbam Pirmajā komitejā Eiropas Savienības delegācija Ceturtajā komitejā iesniedza ES paziņojumus par šādiem tematiem: “Palīdzība pretmīnu pasākumiem”, “Kosmosa izmantošana miermīlīgiem nolūkiem” un ĢA plenārsēdes debatēs – par SAEA ziņojumu. Attiecībā uz Hāgas Rīcības kodeksu pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) skatīt turpmāk 5. iedaļu.

3.   ĶĪMISKIE IEROČI

Ķīmisko ieroču aizlieguma organizācijas (OPCW) darba kārtībā kopš trešās pārskatīšanas konferences ievērojamu vietu ieņēma Sīrijas jautājums, un īpašu nozīmi šis jautājums guva pēc vasaras, kad Sīrija saskaņā ar ASV un Krievijas pamatnolīgumu pieņēma bezprecedenta lēmumu deklarēt savus ķīmiskos ieročus OPCW un pievienoties Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijai (CWC) (par CWC dalībvalsti Sīrija oficiāli kļuva 2013. gada 14. oktobrī). ANO DP un OPCW pieņemtais stingrais ķīmisko ieroču iznīcināšanas plāns ir guvis ES atbalstu, kura ir piegādājusi 10 īpaši specializētas bruņmašīnas un satelītattēlus, lai sekmētu iznīcināšanas plāna I un II posma īstenošanu (attiecībā uz minēto 2013. gada 9. decembrī tika pieņemts Padomes Lēmums 2013/726/KĀDP, ar ko no KĀDP budžeta tika piešķirti EUR 2,3 miljoni). ES ir arī apņēmusies dot būtisku finansiālu ieguldījumu jaunizveidotajā OPCW trasta fondā, lai atbalstītu III posma īstenošanu.

Pēc Ķīmisko ieroču konvencijas (CWC) trešās pārskatīšanas konferences ES turpināja galveno uzmanību pievērst savām prioritātēm, proti: i) pabeigt esošo ieroču uzkrājumu iznīcināšanu; ii) veicināt CWC universālumu (septiņas valstis tai vēl nav pievienojušās); iii) pievērst lielāku uzmanību centieniem novērst ieroču izplatīšanu; iv) sekmēt spēju veidošanu attiecībā uz jaunattīstības valstu ķīmiskās rūpniecības drošību un nekaitīgumu saskaņā ar XI pantu un attiecībā uz reaģēšanu saskaņā ar X pantu, kad ir notikusi ķīmisko ieroču izmantošana.

Attiecībā uz ES atbalsta ietekmi visas valstis, kas bija izvēlētas atbalsta saņemšanai, to izmantoja, lai novērstu būtiskus tehniskus trūkumus, tādējādi dodot šīm līgumslēdzējām valstīm iespēju gūt ievērojamus panākumus CWC īstenošanā valstu līmenī. Konkrētāk, var teikt, ka ES Padomes lēmumi joprojām ir vienīgais iespējamais līdzeklis, lai sniegtu šāda veida palīdzību īstenošanas trūkumu novēršanai. No 90 valsts īstenošanas apakšprojektiem, ko OPCW tehniskais sekretariāts ir veicis pēdējos gados, apmēram pusi nevarētu īstenot bez vienotajās rīcībās / Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem.

Kas attiecas uz ES prioritāti – veicināt universālumu: kopš pirmās vienotās rīcības pieņemšanas konvencijai ir pievienojušās kopumā 19 valstis, un četras no tām, kuras konvencijai pievienojās 2005. gadā, bija iesaistītas kādā no izpratnes veicināšanas pasākumiem, kas tika finansēti no vienotajās rīcībās / Padomes lēmumos paredzētajiem līdzekļiem; tas pats attiecas uz visām valstīm, kas konvencijai pievienojās nākamajos gados.

4.   BIOLOĢISKIE IEROČI

Pēc septītās Bioloģisko un toksisko ieroču konvencijas (BTIK) pārskatīšanas konferences (Ženēva, 2011. gada decembris) ES konstruktīvi iesaistījās starpsanāksmju procesā, sagatavojot paziņojumus un konkrētus darba dokumentus par šādiem jautājumiem: 1) starptautiska sadarbība un palīdzība; 2) īstenošanas pastiprināšana valstu līmenī; 3 pēju veidošana bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības jomā. ES delegācija iesniedza ES paziņojumus ekspertu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2013. gada 12.–16. augusts) un līgumslēdzēju dalībvalstu sanāksmē (Ženēva, 2013. gada 9.–13. decembris). Pēdējā minētajā sanāksmē tika iesniegta pārskatīta un atjaunināta redakcija ES darba dokumentam par X pantu – Sadarbība un palīdzība.

Pie ES rīcības rezultātiem jāmin pastiprinātas pievienošanās BTIK veicināšana visos ģeogrāfiskajos reģionos, uzlabota BTIK izpratne attiecīgajās valstu iestādēs un/vai pastiprināta apakšreģionālu savstarpējo sakaru veidošana, lai veicinātu pievienošanos BTIK, un brīvprātīgas BTIK īstenošanas veicināšana pirms ratifikācijas/pievienošanās. Laikā no 2009. līdz 2013. gadam konvencijai pievienojās četras valstis. Ir izveidoti saziņas kanāli ar vairākām citām Āzijas, Āfrikas un Latīņamerikas valstīm, kas nav konvencijas līgumslēdzējas valstis, tādējādi liekot pamatu turpmākām darbībām.

Īstenojot Padomes Lēmumu 2012/421/KĀDP (2012. gada 23. jūlijs), ANO Atbruņošanās lietu biroja Ženēvas nodaļa (Īstenošanas atbalsta vienība) 3. un 4. novembrī Kualalumpurā (Malaizija) Dienvidāzijas un Dienvidaustrumāzijas valstīm un 13. un 14. novembrī Mehiko Centrālamerikas un Karību jūras valstīm rīkoja reģionālus darbseminārus, lai uzlabotu BTIK izpratni attiecīgajās valstu iestādēs, lai pastiprinātu reģionālos savstarpējos sakarus pievienošanās un BTIK īstenošanas nolūkos, lai apzinātu vajadzības BTIK īstenošanas uzlabošanai un lai izveidotu atbalsta sniegšanu valstu un reģionālajām bioloģiskās drošības asociācijām. Valstu darbsemināri tika organizēti arī 14. oktobrī Kito (Ekvadorā), 2. un 3. decembrī Burkinafaso un 5. un 6. decembrī Beninā.

ES ir iesaistīta arī bioloģiskā drošuma un bioloģiskās drošības uzlabojumu veicināšanā. Šajā ziņā 2013. gada 18. novembrī pieņemtajā Padomes Lēmumā 2013/668/KĀDP ir paredzēti vairāk nekā EUR 1,7 miljoni, lai ar Pasaules Veselības organizācijas tehniskās ekspertīzes starpniecību atbalstītu projektus, kuru mērķis ir dažās izraudzītās līgumslēdzējās dalībvalstīs veicināt bioloģiskā apdraudējuma apzināšanos, laboratoriju bioloģiskā apdraudējuma pārvaldību un valsts stratēģiju izstrādi attiecībā uz laboratorijām.

5.   RAĶETES

ES uzskata, ka Hāgas Rīcības kodekss pret ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanu (HCoC) ir svarīgs daudzpusējs instruments, kura mērķis ir ar pārredzamības un uzticēšanās veicināšanas pasākumiem iegrožot ballistisko raķešu sistēmu un ar tām saistītu tehnoloģiju izplatīšanu, un kopš kodeksa pieņemšanas ir to stingri atbalstījusi. Visas ES dalībvalstis ir parakstījušas minēto kodeksu. ES ir turpinājusi sekmēt un atbalstīt kodeksa trīs aspektus: universālumu, īstenošanu un tā pastiprinātu un uzlabotu darbību.

Pamatojoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2012/423/KĀDP, ar ko tiek atbalstīts HCoC un raķešu neizplatīšana kopumā, ES 2013. gada 15. janvārī Vīnē kopā ar īstenošanas aģentūru Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) organizēja atceres konferenci, lai atzīmētu HCoC parakstīšanas 10. gadadienu. Līdztekus HCoC ikgadējai regulārajai sanāksmei ES 2013. gada 31. maijā Vīnē organizēja informatīvu pasākumu HCoC atbalstam. Vēl pie pasākumiem jāmin 2013. gada septembrī Ženēvā rīkots informatīvs pasākums un Parīzē rīkota izpratnes veidošanas sanāksme par raķešu tehnoloģiju nodošanu, kā arī vēl viena labi apmeklēta informatīva sanāksme līdztekus ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksmei 2013. gada 11. oktobrī. 2013. gada septembrī Ķīnā un 2013. gada decembra sākumā Indijā tika rīkota ekspertu misija. Singapūrā 2013. gada 27. novembrī notika pirmais reģionālais seminārs.

ES pamanāmību nodrošināja cita starpā ES delegācijas vadītāja piedalīšanās un skaidras atsauces uz ES finansējumu, ko pieminēja gandrīz visi runātāji. Tika izmantoti inovatīvi risinājumi, nodrošinot pasākuma tiešraidi un diskusijas internetā.

2013. gada 16.–18. oktobrī Romā notika Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīma (MTCR) 25. plenārsēde. 2013. gada 16. un 17. oktobrī tika iesniegti divi ES paziņojumi. Paziņojumā presei par plenārsēdi attiecībā gan uz Irānu, gan uz Ziemeļkoreju ir dota atsauce kā uz šobrīd kritiskām ballistisko raķešu izplatīšanas zonām.

6.   
  CBRN RADĪTO APDRAUDĒJUMU MAZINĀŠANA

ES turpināja virzību attiecībā uz Eiropas Savienības 2009. gadā pieņemtā CBRN (ķīmiskā, bioloģiskā, radioloģiskā un kodolapdraudējuma) rīcības plāna īstenošanu, un līdz šim ar Noziedzības profilakses un apkarošanas (ISEC) programmu ir atbalstīti aptuveni 30 projekti.

Turklāt, veicot pētniecību, kas aptver gandrīz visu krīžu pārvarēšanas ciklu (no novēršanas līdz atjaunošanas darbiem), CBRN rīcības plānam zinātnisku un tehnisku atbalstu sniedz ar CBRN saistītu pētniecības projektu klāsts, kuri saskaņā ar Septīto pamatprogrammu tiek finansēti ar Drošas sabiedrības programmas starpniecību. Norit arī pasākumi, lai šajā jomā apzinātu standartizācijas vajadzības, kuru rezultātā varētu tikt izstrādāti “Eiropas normu” standarti. Nākamā programma “Apvārsnis 2020” (2014–-2020) pastiprinās pašreiz CBRN pētniecībā noritošo darbu, izmantojot koncentrētus tematus, kuru darba programma tika pieņemta 2013. gada 10. decembrī.

2012. gada progresa ziņojumā par rīcības plāna īstenošanu tika izcelti galvenie panākumi, it īpaši attiecībā uz pastiprināto informācijas un paraugprakses apmaiņu, kopīgu mācību pasākumu rīkošanu un uz vienošanos par trim ES paaugstināta riska vielu sarakstiem attiecīgi ķīmijas, bioloģijas un radioloģijas un kodolmateriālu jomā.

Lai radītu kopainu politikai turpmākajos gados, Komisija ir iecerējusi 2014. gada pirmajā pusgadā iesniegt paziņojumu par jaunu visaptverošu ES CBRN-E (ķīmisku, bioloģisku, radioloģisku, kodola un sprāgstvielu) programmu, kurā uzmanība būs koncentrēta uz ierobežotu tādu prioritāru jomu skaitu, kuras Eiropas Savienībai nepārprotami nodrošina pievienoto vērtību.

Lai pašreizējo rīcības plānu īstenotu līdz 2015. gadam un lai noteiktu jauno CBRN-E programmu, Komisija cieši sadarbojas ar dalībvalstu iestādēm un citām attiecīgi ieinteresētajām personām CBRN-E padomdevēju grupā un tās apakšgrupās, kuras tiekas regulāri.

ES 2010. gada maijā sāka iniciatīvu “ES CBRN izcilības centri” (CoE), kuri tiek finansēti ar Stabilitātes instrumenta starpniecību. ES CBRN izcilības centri tiek veidoti, jo tika atzīts, ka vairākās valstīs iestāžu spējas nav pietiekamas, lai cīnītos pret CBRN apdraudējumu, ko rada noziedzīgas darbības (CBRN izplatīšana vai terorisms), dabīgi cēloņi (zoonozes un epidēmijas) un negadījumu izraisītas katastrofas (negadījumi rūpniecībā). To mērķis ir valsts un reģionālā līmenī izstrādāt visu veidu apdraudējumus aptverošu CBRN politiku, lai šos apdraudējumus paredzētu un reaģētu uz tiem. Īsāk sakot, tie ir strukturāli pasākumi, lai mazinātu valstu neaizsargātību pret CBRN situācijām, darbojoties reģionu un ES drošības abpusējās interesēs.

Lai panāktu šo mērķi, ir jāatbalsta reģionālu ekspertu tīklu izveide tiesiskos, reglamentējošos, tehniskos, kontroles un īstenošanas jautājumos attiecībā uz CBRN radīto apdraudējumu mazināšanu.

Tiek veidoti seši reģionāli centri: 1. Ziemeļāfrikā (Alžīra), 2. Āfrikas daļā, kas atrodas pie Atlantijas okeāna (Rabata), 3. Tuvajos Austrumos (Ammāna), 4. Dienvidaustrumeiropā – Dienvidkaukāzā – Moldovas Republikā – Ukrainā (Tbilisi), 5. Dienvidaustrumāzijā (Manila) un 6. Subsahāras Āfrikā (Nairobi); tie jau ir uzsākuši darbu. Nākamais solis būs reģionālu sekretariātu atvēršana Vidusāzijā (Taškentā – vēl jāprecizē) un Persijas līča valstīs (Abū Dabī). Papildus 33 projektiem, kuriem iepriekš jau piešķirti kopumā EUR 26 miljoni, ar dažādiem konsorcijiem – tostarp no dalībvalstīm – tiek slēgti līgumi par jauniem projektiem aptuveni EUR 10 miljonu vērtībā.

7.   IDEJU LABORATORIJAS

Balstoties uz Padomes Lēmumu 2010/430/KĀDP (2010. gada 26. jūlijs), ES darbu saistībā ar ES Stratēģiju masu iznīcināšanas ieroču izplatīšanas novēršanai aktīvi atbalstīja ES Ieroču neizplatīšanas konsorcijs, kas sāka darboties 2011. gada janvārī. Pirmajos trīs darbības gados konsorcija tīkls ir paplašinājies līdz pāri par 60 ideju laboratorijām visā Eiropā. Pēc 2012. gadā organizētiem sekmīgiem pasākumiem (pirmā “ES ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās konference” 3. un 4. februārī, seminārs “No MII brīvas zonas izveide Tuvajos Austrumos”2012. gada 5. un 6. novembrī), 2013. gada 30. septembrī un 1. oktobrī tika sekmīgi rīkota jauna ikgadēja starptautiska konference par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos, pirms tam, 2013. gada 17. un 18. jūnijā, bija notikusi ES otrā konsultatīvā sanāksme. Pa šo laiku konsorcijs sadarbībā ar citām šīs jomas Eiropas ideju laboratorijām ir pastiprinājis pētniecības darbības un publicējis darba dokumentus attiecībā uz MII izplatīšanas novēršanas stratēģijas īstenošanu, kuri ir pieejami konsorcija tīmekļa vietnē: http://www.nonproliferation.eu/. Ietekmes ziņā konsorcija pasākumi ir uzlabojuši ES pamanāmību trešās valstīs un pilsoniskajā sabiedrībā un palīdzējuši būtiski veidot ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā. Konsorcijs nodrošina platformu neformālai speciālistu saziņai un palīdz sekmēt dialogu starp dažādām ieinteresētajām personām. Pasākums ir palīdzējis uzlabot informētību par problēmām ar kodolieročiem, ķīmiskajiem un bioloģiskajiem ieročiem. Pieņemšanai Padomē 2014. gada sākumā ir sagatavots jauns lēmums, lai nodrošinātu to, ka konsorcijs var turpināt darbības laikā no 2014. līdz 2016. gadam. Ar jauno lēmumu konsorcijam tiks dots uzdevums turpināt tradicionālās darbības un īstenot jaunus projektus.

8.   APVIENOTO NĀCIJU ORGANIZĀCIJAS DROŠĪBAS PADOMES REZOLŪCIJA 1540 UN EKSPORTA KONTROLES

a)   ANO DP Rezolūcija 1540

Padome 2013. gada 22. jūlijā pieņēma jaunu Padomes lēmumu ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 atbalstam. To īsteno ANO Atbruņošanās lietu birojs (ANO ODA), kas rīko reģionālus darbseminārus un valstu atbalsta apmeklējumus visā pasaulē. Padomes lēmuma īstenošana, kas ir sākusies 2013. gada 24. oktobrī, palīdzēs pastiprināt attiecīgi valstu un reģionu centienus, palīdzēs praksē īstenot ieteikumus, kas iekļauti 2009. gada vispārējā pārskatā par ANO DPR 1540 īstenošanas statusu, un pēc valstu lūguma sākt un izvērst valstu rīcības plānus.

ANO ODA ir parakstījusi ar EDSO nolīgumu, kura rezultātā radīsies sinerģijas ANO DPR 1540 atbalstam. Arī tādēļ, lai izvairītos no iespējamas dublēšanās, ir jātiecas pēc sinerģijas un koordinācijas arī ar ES CBRN izcilības centriem.

b)   Eksporta kontroles

Eiropas Komisija ir pabeigusi ES eksporta kontroles režīma pārskatīšanas otro posmu, pieņemot ziņojumu Eiropas Parlamentam un Padomei par Regulas (EK) Nr. 428/2009 īstenošanu 2010.–2012. gadā. Ziņojumā ir aprakstītas nesenās norises eksporta kontroles noteikumu un regulējuma jomā un pasākumi, kas veikti, lai nodrošinātu eksporta kontroļu konsekvenci visā Eiropas Savienībā. Tajā ir dots pirmais sistemātiskais ES mēroga licencēšanas datu novērtējums un izklāstīti ieinteresēto personu viedokļi par sekām, ko eksporta kontroles rada drošībai un tirdzniecībai, un par vajadzību kontroles parametrus pielāgot mainīgajiem drošības, tehnoloģiju un ekonomikas apstākļiem.

Attiecībā uz regulējumu turpinājās diskusijas par ierosināto grozījumu ES Regulā (EK) Nr. 428/2009 par divējāda lietojuma precēm, kura mērķis ir paātrināt ES divējāda lietojuma preču kontrolsarakstu atjaunināšanu, un 2013. gada septembrī un decembrī notika trialoga sanāksmes, lai pabeigtu priekšlikuma izskatīšanu pirmajā lasījumā.

Eksporta kontroļu īstenošanu sekmēja divas Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupas sanāksmes, tostarp 2013. gada novembrī notikusī kopīgā sanāksme ar muitas pārvalžu pārstāvjiem. Divējāda lietojuma preču koordinācijas grupa sagatavoja arī pamatnostādnes konsultācijām starp kompetentajām iestādēm.

Tika nodrošināta cieša sadarbība ar partneriem un trešām valstīm, un, konkrētāk, saziņā ar “Progresīvāko tehnoloģiju darba grupu” 2013. gada oktobrī notika eksporta kontroles dialogs ar Ķīnu.

Tika veikta ES koordinācija, lai sekmētu vienošanos par ES nostājām attiecīgajās eksporta kontroles režīmu sanāksmēs, kas notika otrajā pusgadā (Kodolmateriālu piegādātāju valstu grupa: Konsultatīvā grupa 2013. gada novembrī; Vasenāras mehānisms: Vispārēja darba grupa 2013. gada oktobrī un plenārsēde 2013. gada novembrī; Austrālijas grupa: plenārsēde 2013. gada jūnijā; Raķešu tehnoloģiju kontroles režīms (MTCR): plenārsēde 2013. gada oktobrī). ES (kā daļa no aktuālās ES prezidentvalsts komandas) 2013. gada oktobrī Vasenāras mehānisma Vispārējās darba grupas sanāksmē iepazīstināja ar saviem izpratnes uzlabošanas pasākumiem parasto ieroču un divējāda lietojuma preču eksporta kontroles jomā.

Joprojām tika īstenota ES Eksporta kontroles izpratnes uzlabošanas programma, lai stiprinātu trešo valstu (23) pārvaldes spējas rīkoties ar divējāda lietojuma precēm. Programmu finansē ar Stabilitātes instrumenta starpniecību.

Kopš 2007. gada ES ir veicinājusi to, lai tiktu izstrādāts Starptautisks rīcības kodekss attiecībā uz kosmosā veiktām darbībām. Šis starptautiskais un brīvprātīgais pamatnostādņu kopums stiprinātu visu kosmosā veikto darbību drošumu, drošību un paredzamību. Ar šādām pamatnostādnēm būtu cita starpā jāierobežo vai līdz minimumam jāsamazina kaitīgi traucējumi, sadursmes vai negadījumi kosmosā, kā arī atkritumu radīšana. Kodeksā būtu izklāstīti pamatnoteikumi, kas kosmosa apguves valstīm ir jāievēro, veicot gan civilas, gan militāras darbības kosmosā.

2012. gada 5. jūnijā Eiropas Savienība Vīnē iepazīstināja starptautisko kopienu ar jaunu projektu, kas ir izstrādāts pēc konsultāciju virknes, kuras tika rīkotas ar galvenajām kosmosa apguves valstīm.

Pēc 2013. gada 16. un 17. maijā Kijevā notikušajām beztermiņa konsultācijām par projekta tekstu, kurās piedalījās aptuveni 140 pārstāvji no 61 valsts, teksts tika pārskatīts. Otrā konsultāciju kārta par pārskatīto tekstu notika 2013. gada 20.–22. novembrī Bangkokā, un tajā piedalījās 66 valstis un organizācijas un 133 dalībnieki. Bangkokas sanāksme viesa cerības tajā ziņā, ka tajā notika padziļinātas diskusijas par pašu tekstu, mazsvarīgāku nozīmi piešķirot procesuāliem jautājumiem. Lai procesu padarītu pārredzamāku un iekļaujošāku, īpašais sūtnis visu gadu rīkoja konsultācijas ar ievērojamu skaitu valstu, tostarp Bangkokas konsultāciju priekšvakarā apmeklēja Pekinu un Maskavu.

Saskaņā ar Padomes Lēmumu 2012/281/KĀDP (2012. gada 29. maijs), ar ko tiek atbalstīts Savienības priekšlikums Starptautiskam rīcības kodeksam attiecībā uz kosmosā veiktām darbībām, īstenošanas aģentūra (ANO Atbruņošanās pētniecības institūts – UNIDIR) pārvaldīja darbības, lai uzlabotu informētību par kodeksu un sekmētu daudzpusēju procesu. UNIDIR rīkoja virkni reģionālu semināru (Kualalumpurā, Adisabebā, Mehiko un Astanā) un organizēja trīs plašākas daudzpusējas sanāksmes, kuras ES/EĀDD rīkoja Vīnē, Kijevā un Bangkokā. Kijevā un Bangkokā rīkotās sanāksmes saņēma atbalstu apmaksātu ceļojuma līdzekļu veidā, lai veicinātu trešo valstu amatpersonu un ekspertu piedalīšanos.

Kā norādīts ievadā, īpašais sūtnis ievērojamas pūles ir ieguldījis darba procesā, kas saistīts ar ANO Valdības ekspertu grupas (VEG) veikto pētījumu par pārredzamības un paļāvības veicināšanas pasākumiem saistībā ar kosmosā veiktām darbībām. Pētījuma pozitīvie rezultāti, kas satur lietderīgas atsauces uz ES priekšlikumu rīcības kodeksam, iedrošināja visas ES dalībvalstis ANO ĢA Pirmajā komitejā kļūt par līdzautorēm Rezolūcijai par pārredzamības un paļāvības veicināšanas pasākumiem saistībā ar kosmosā veiktām darbībām, kura komitejā tika vienprātīgi pieņemta.

10.   MII NEIZPLATĪŠANAS KLAUZULAS

Saskaņā ar savu MII neizplatīšanas stratēģiju ES turpināja savās līgumiskajās attiecībās ar trešām valstīm integrēt MII neizplatīšanas jautājumu.

Ir notikušas turpmākas sarunas par MII neizplatīšanas klauzulām nolīgumos starp ES un attiecīgajām trešām valstīm, it īpaši Bruneju, Japānu un Kazahstānu. Sarunas palīdz uzlabot izpratni par ES politiku ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jomā un veido forumu, lai uzlabotu savstarpējo sapratni par attiecīgajām nostājām, apzinātu nākotnē iespējamās sadarbības jomas un mudinātu partnervalstis konkrētai virzībai uz priekšu attiecībā uz starptautisku neizplatīšanas režīmu.

11.   CITI DAUDZPUSĒJI FORUMI

G8

Gatavojot G8 samita paziņojumu par ieroču neizplatīšanu, ES sadarbībā ar prezidentvalsti, Apvienoto Karalisti, aktīvi piedalījās ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksmēs un palīdzēja veikt vairākus demaršus saistībā ar SAEA Papildprotokolu un ANO DP Rezolūcijas 1540 īstenošanu valstu līmenī.

Deviņus gadus pēc tam, kad 2002. gadā tika izveidota Globālā partnerība, tā ir paplašinājusies, pārsniedzot G8 valstu skaitu, un kļuvusi par koordinācijas un sadarbības platformu, kas tagad aptver vēl 17 jaunus partnerus. Dovilas samitā 2011. gada maijā līderi vienojās turpināt stiprināt bioloģisko drošību, Rezolūcijas 1540 īstenošanu un kodoldrošību. ASV 2012. gadā un Apvienotā Karaliste 2013. gadā turpināja virzīt šos jautājumus, it īpaši Globālās partnerības darba grupā izveidojot četras jaunas darba apakšgrupas attiecībā uz bioloģisko drošību, ķīmisko drošību, kodoldrošību un izcilības centriem (CoE). Viena no prioritātēm pēdējos sešos mēnešos ir bijusi – iesaistīt (vēl citas) reģionālas organizācijas partnerībā, kā arī pastiprināt reģionālu pašnoteikšanos. ES izcilības centri, kas bija CoE darba apakšgrupas izveides pamatā, turpināja aktīvāk darboties G8 Globālajā partnerībā, it īpaši kā rīks, lai atvieglotu informācijas apmaiņu reģionālā mērogā un lai pēc iespējas izvairītos no darbību dublēšanās līdzekļu devēju starpā.

12.   POLITISKĀ DIALOGA SANĀKSMES

Galvenokārt īpašā sūtņa rīkotas politiskā dialoga sanāksmes par ieroču neizplatīšanu un atbruņošanos tika organizētas ar Krieviju (Maskavā), Brazīliju (Briselē) un Ķīnu (Pekinā). Viņš rīkoja arī vairākas neformālas konsultācijas ar dažādiem dalībniekiem, tostarp līdztekus tādiem svarīgiem pasākumiem kā SAEA Vispārējā konference Vīnē (ar Korejas Republiku), ANO ĢA Pirmās komitejas sanāksme Ņujorkā (tostarp ar Indiju, ASV, Krieviju, ANO Sekretariātu, Dienvidāfriku), G8 ieroču neizplatīšanas un atbruņošanās jautājumu direktoru sanāksme Londonā (ar Kanādu), kā arī Astanā ar Kazahstānu. ES un ASV saskaņoja savas nostājas 2013. gada 13. decembrī Briselē notikušajā ES 28 dalībvalstu un ASV augsta līmeņa ikgadējā dialogā par ieroču neizplatīšanu, atbruņošanos, ieroču kontroli un CBRN radītā apdraudējuma mazināšanu.

Implementation of Projects CBRN - 3rd call: #77 #111 #114

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).
