IGA KUUE KUU TAGANT KOOSTATAV EDUARUANNE MASSIHÄVITUSRELVADE LEVIKU VASTASE ELi STRATEEGIA RAKENDAMISE KOHTA (2013/II)

2014/C 54/01

SISSEJUHATUS

Kooskõlas Euroopa Ülemkogu poolt 2003. aasta detsembris vastu võetud massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegiaga (dok 15708/03) koostatakse iga kuue kuu tagant eduaruanne strateegia rakendamise kohta. Käesolev eduaruanne hõlmab 2013. aasta teisel poolaastal toimunud tegevust.

Kooskõlas Euroopa julgeolekustrateegia, massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia ning uute tegevussuundade (dok 17172/08) eesmärkidega on ELi juhtpõhimõtted selles valdkonnas jätkuvalt:

| i) | tõhus mitmepoolsus, sealhulgas rahvusvaheliste lepingute, konventsioonide ja muude vahendite ülemaailmse kohaldamise ning riigisisese rakendamise edendamine diplomaatilise tegevuse ning kolmandatele riikidele ja rahvusvahelistele organisatsioonidele antava finantsabi kaudu; |

i)

tõhus mitmepoolsus, sealhulgas rahvusvaheliste lepingute, konventsioonide ja muude vahendite ülemaailmse kohaldamise ning riigisisese rakendamise edendamine diplomaatilise tegevuse ning kolmandatele riikidele ja rahvusvahelistele organisatsioonidele antava finantsabi kaudu;

| ii) | tihe koostöö partnerite ja muude kolmandate riikidega, püüdes üleilmselt lähendada seisukohti massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korra vajalikkuse küsimuses. Jätkuvalt on tehtud jõupingutusi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuste lahendamiseks ELi kahepoolsetes suhetes kõikide asjaomaste riikidega, eelkõige poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste ja mitteametlikumate kontaktide kaudu; |

ii)

tihe koostöö partnerite ja muude kolmandate riikidega, püüdes üleilmselt lähendada seisukohti massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korra vajalikkuse küsimuses. Jätkuvalt on tehtud jõupingutusi massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuste lahendamiseks ELi kahepoolsetes suhetes kõikide asjaomaste riikidega, eelkõige poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste ja mitteametlikumate kontaktide kaudu;

| iii) | kõikide kättesaadavate õigusaktide ja rahaliste vahendite (ÜVJP eelarve, stabiliseerimisvahend, muud vahendid) tõhus ja vastastikku täiendav kasutamine, et maksimeerida liidu tegevuse mõju ELi välispoliitiliste eesmärkide taotlemisel. |

iii)

kõikide kättesaadavate õigusaktide ja rahaliste vahendite (ÜVJP eelarve, stabiliseerimisvahend, muud vahendid) tõhus ja vastastikku täiendav kasutamine, et maksimeerida liidu tegevuse mõju ELi välispoliitiliste eesmärkide taotlemisel.

Seetõttu koordineeritakse tööd ka laiema julgeolekupoliitika ja konfliktide ärahoidmise alaste ELi tegevustega.

Euroopa välisteenistuse massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise peanõunik ja erisaadik esindas 2013. aasta teisel poolaastal ELi mitmel olulisel rahvusvahelisel kohtumisel (eelkõige IAEA peakonverents, ÜRO Peaassamblee esimene komitee, desarmeerimise eest vastutavate G8 direktorite rühm, OPCW osalisriikide iga-aastane kohtumine, avakosmosetegevuse rahvusvahelise toimimisjuhendi kavandi suhtes toimuvad avatud konsultatsioonid, massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist ja desarmeerimist käsitlev ELi konverents).

2013. aasta teisel poolaastal keskendus erisaadik järgmisele:

| — | jõupingutused tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu täitmise tagamiseks (sealhulgas lepingu X artikkel, mis käsitleb väljaastumist). See on ELi jaoks endiselt esmatähtis, võttes arvesse selle otsest asjakohasust massihävitusrelvade levikuga seotud suurte piirkondlike probleemide suhtes Iraanis ja Korea Rahvademokraatlikus Vabariigis (KRDV). Kuna tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee teist koosolekut (Genf, 23. aprill – 3. mai 2013) varjutas asjaolu, et 2012. aastal jäi toimumata Lähis-Idas tuumarelvadest ja muudest massihävitusrelvadest vaba tsooni loomise konverents, tõhustati jõupingutusi sellest tuleneva pettumuse ületamiseks ja protsessi edendamiseks. Sellega seoses jätkas EL Soome korraldaja jõupingutuste toetamist, korraldades muu hulgas massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ELi konsortsiumi abiga mitteametlikke seminare asjaomaste osapoolte vahelise dialoogi hõlbustamiseks; |

| — | rahvusvahelise avakosmosetegevuse tegevusjuhendi algatuse edendamine. Erisaadik osales mitmel kahepoolsel sihtrühmadele suunatud kohtumisel tähtsamate partneritega, sealhulgas Brasiilia, Hiina ja Venemaaga. Selleks, et avaldada mõju avakosmoses läbipaistvuse ja usalduse suurendamise meetmeid käsitleva ÜRO valitsusekspertide töörühma uuringu tulemustele, andis erisaadik ülevaate töörühmale selle koosolekutel Genfis (2. aprill 2013) ja New Yorgis (10. juuli 2013), mille tulemusel tunnustati tekstis tööd, mida EL on teinud tegevusjuhendi raames. Erisaadik juhatas 16.–17. mail 2013 Kiievis ja 20.–22. novembril 2013 Bangkokis toimimisjuhendi kavandi üle peetud avatud konsultatsioone, kusjuures mõlemal üritusel osales ligikaudu 140 esindajat enam kui 60 riigist; |

Erisaadik juhtis ELi delegatsiooni ÜRO Peaassamblee esimeses komitees ja osales üldises mõttevahetuses. Samuti osales erisaadik keemiarelvade konventsiooni osalisriikide 18. istungjärgul (Haag, 2.–6. detsember 2013) ja esitas ELi avalduse.

1.   TUUMAKÜSIMUSED

ELi nõukogu massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise töörühm (CONOP) panustas tihedas koostöös asjaomaste ELi delegatsioonidega aktiivselt ELi seisukohtade ettevalmistamisse 2013. aasta septembris ja novembris toimunud IAEA juhatajate nõukogu kohtumisteks ning 2013. aasta septembris toimunud IAEA peakonverentsiks. Töörühm andis strateegilisi suuniseid ja valmistas ette ELi panuseid teisteks rahvusvahelisteks sündmusteks, näiteks tuumatarneriikide grupi nõuanderühma koosolek, CTBT XIV artikli kohane konverents, Tuumarelvakatsetuste Üldise Keelustamise Lepingu Organisatsiooni ettevalmistuskomisjoni koosolekud, raketitehnoloogia kontrollirežiimi istungid, Austraalia grupi üldkoosolek, ning teisteks asjakohasteks ja töörühma pädevusse kuuluvateks kohtumisteks. Töörühm alustas ettevalmistusi seoses ELi panustega tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee kolmandaks koosolekuks (28. aprill – 9. mai 2014). Töörühm töötas välja nõukogu järeldused (mille välisasjade nõukogu võttis vastu 21. oktoobril 2013) tõhusa ELi poliitika jätkumise tagamise kohta seoses massihävitusrelvade ja nende kandesüsteemide leviku uute väljakutsetega.

1.1.   Tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsi järelmeetmed

CONOPi 19. veebruari 2013. aasta koosolekul toimus arutelu tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu ettevalmistuskomitee teise kohtumise eesistujaga ja 11. novembri 2013. aasta koosolekul läbivaatamiskonverentsi teise põhikomitee määratud eesistujaga, et valmistada ette 2015. aastal toimuvat läbivaatamiskonverentsi. Samal eesmärgil moodustati kolm mitteametlikku nn eesistuja sõprade alltöörühma, et valmistada 2015. aastal toimuvaks läbivaatamiskonverentsiks ette ELi panuseid; kõnealuste alltöörühmade eesistujaks on ELi liikmesriigid Euroopa välisteenistuse osalusel.

Lähis-Ida massihävitusrelvadest vaba tsooni loomise küsimuses (mis on tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingu läbivaatamistsükli keskne teema) kinnitas kõrge esindaja oma 1. juuli 2013. aasta avalduses taas, et ELi strateegiliseks prioriteediks on jätkuvalt rahu ja stabiilsuse toetamine kogu Lähis-Idas, ning väljendas taas kahetsust selle üle, et 2010. aasta läbivaatamiskonverentsil heaks kiidetud ja 2012. aastal toimuma pidanud tuumarelvadest ja muudest massihävitusrelvadest vaba tsooni loomise konverents edasi lükati.

EL jätkas konverentsi edu nimel käimasolevate ettevalmistuste täielikku toetamist ning toetab eelkõige väsimatuid jõupingutusi, mida konverentsi edule vundamendi loomise nimel teeb konverentsi korraldaja, Soome suursaadik Laajava ja tema meeskond. Araabia Riikide Liiga ja mitme Araabia riigiga toimunud ametlike kohtumiste käigus kutsus EL piirkonna kõiki osapooli tungivalt üles tegema kiiret ja proaktiivset koostööd konverentsi korraldaja ja ettevalmistajatega, mis võimaldaks konverentsi võimalikult peatselt kokku kutsuda. Euroopa välisteenistus oli kõigil tasanditel tihedas kontaktis konverentsi korraldaja ja tema meeskonnaga.

1.2.   Rahvusvaheline Aatomienergiaagentuur (IAEA)

EL on suurendanud oma toetust Viinis asuvale Rahvusvahelisele Aatomienergiaagentuurile (IAEA). EL on endiselt üks tuumajulgeoleku fondi suurimaid rahastajaid, olles alates 2004. aastast eraldanud toetusena peaaegu 40 miljonit eurot (sealhulgas viimatine kohustus eraldada agentuurile 8,05 miljonit eurot, mis põhineb nõukogu 21. oktoobri 2013. aasta otsusel 2013/517/ÜVJP). Tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas on EL panustanud oma tehnilise oskusteabega IAEA poolt korraldatud koolitustegevusse ja seminaridesse, mis on suunatud kolmandatele riikidele, et suurendada suutlikkust võidelda tuumamaterjalide ning muude radioaktiivsete materjalide salakaubaveo vastu. EL ja IAEA on jätkanud kõnealuses valdkonnas oma kolmandatele riikidele antava toetuse koordineerimist. Alustatud on ettevalmistusi, et korraldada teine iga-aastane ELi-IAEA kõrgemate ametnike kohtumine, kus osalevad Euroopa välisteenistuse, Euroopa Komisjoni / EURATOMi ja IAEA kõrgema tasandi esindajad ning mis toimub 20.–21. veebruaril 2014 Viinis. Kõnealuste kohtumiste eesmärk on tõhustada koostööd kõikides IAEA tegevusvaldkondades, parandada ELi toetuse nähtavust ning täiendavalt koordineerida ELi tegevust, et tagada täiendavus ja vältida ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskuste ja IAEA tegevuste kattumist tuumajulgeoleku valdkonnas (selleks leppisid EL (Teadusuuringute Ühiskeskus) ja IAEA kokku oma koostöö suunamise praktilise korra).

EL on nõukogu järelduste kohaselt alates 2008. aastast kohustunud eraldama kuni 25 miljonit eurot IAEA väherikastatud uraani panka. EL panustas panga toetuseks stabiliseerimisvahendist 20 miljonit eurot. Veel üks toetus antakse nõukogu otsuse kohaselt ÜVJP eelarvest. Nõukogupoolne heakskiitmine viibib, kuna erinevate lepingute sõlmimise lõpuleviimine on osutunud ootamatult aeglaseks; see kehtib ka IAEA ja Kasahstani vahelise võõrustajariigi toetuse lepingu osas.

Tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete küsimuses jätkab Euroopa Komisjoni tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete direktoraat kaitsemeetmete kohaldamist kogu tsiviilotstarbelisele tuumamaterjalile ELi 28 liikmesriigis ning sellise tegevuse aastaeelarve on ligikaudu 20 miljonit eurot. Kaitsemeetmete kontrollitegevust koordineeritakse tihedas koostöös IAEAga.

IAEA ja komisjon tõhustavad jätkuvalt oma koostööd tuumamaterjali kaitsemeetmete alal, et optimeerida inimressursside ja rahaliste vahendite kasutamist, säilitades samas kaitsemeetmete maksimaalse tõhususe. EL on Euroopa Komisjoni koostööalase toetusprogrammi kaudu jätkuvalt andnud IAEA-le olulist tehnilist toetust tuumaenergiaalaste kaitsemeetmete valdkonnas, et võimaldada tuumaenergia rahuotstarbelise kasutamise ohutut ja turvalist rakendamist kolmandates riikides.

17. septembril 2013. aastal Viinis toimunud IAEA peakonverentsi raames allkirjastasid IAEA peadirektor Yukiya Amano ja Euroopa Komisjoni energiavolinik Günther Oettinger tuumaohutusalase vastastikuse mõistmise memorandumi, millega loodi koostööraamistik Euroopa tuumaohutuse parandamiseks. Memorandum on üks oluline konkreetne tulemus, mille andis 25. jaanuaril 2013 Brüsselis toimunud ELi-IAEA kõrgemate ametnike esimene kohtumine.

EL on kohustunud toetama 10 miljoni euroga rahvusvahelist projekti, mille eesmärk on laiendada ja ajakohastada Seibersdorfi kaitsemeetmete laborit Austrias (9,50 miljonit eurot on juba makstud) ning IAEA on pöördunud rahvusvaheliste abiandjate, sealhulgas ELi poole palvega toetada ka Seibersdorfi tuumarajatiste labori ajakohastamist.

Ekspertide tasandil algatas Euroopa Komisjon koostöös IAEAga protsessi, mille eesmärk on hinnata IAEA salakaubaveo andmebaasi ja toetada selle täiustamist, et viia see paremini vastavusse kasutajate vajadustega. Koostatud on ühtlustatud aruandluse parimaid tavasid käsitlev dokument, mis esitatakse IAEA-le. Aruandlusvahendite ajakohastamise eesmärgil alustati 2013. aasta oktoobris intsidentidest teavitamise veebipõhise vormi väljatöötamist ning see viiakse lõpule 2014. aastal.

IAEA-le I–IV ühismeetme ja V nõukogu otsuse raames antud ELi rahalised vahendid aitasid edendada IAEA jõupingutusi, et tugevdada tuumajulgeolekut kolmandates riikides, pidades esmatähtsateks neid riike, kellel on suurimad vajadused radioaktiivse ja tuumamaterjali kontrolli tõhustamiseks, misläbi aidatakse vähendada riske. Jõupingutused keskendusid tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjaliga seotud riikliku õigusloome infrastruktuuri parandamisele, tuumajulgeolekumeetmetele seoses kasutatava tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjaliga, ladustamisele ja transpordile ning nendega seotud rajatistele, riikide võimekusele sellise tuuma- ja muu radioaktiivse materjali käsitlemisel, mis ei ole siseriikliku regulatiivse kontrolli all, misläbi võimaldatakse abi saanud riikidel täita oma riigisiseseid ja rahvusvahelisi kohustusi. 21. oktoobril 2013 vastu võetud nõukogu viimatise otsusega (IAEA VI, 2013/517/ÜVJP) toetatakse tuumajulgeoleku täiendavat tõhustamist kogu maailmas ja Euroopa julgeoleku tugevdamist, toetades IAEA tegevust 2014.–2017. aasta tuumajulgeoleku kava raames ning eelkõige eelkirjeldatud valdkondades.

1.3.   Tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise leping (CTBT)

EL on aktiivselt edendanud tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu (CTBT) võimalikult kiiret jõustamist asjaomaste nõukogu otsuste (26. juuli 2010. aasta otsus 2010/461/ÜVJP ja 13. novembri 2012. aasta otsus 2012/699/ÜVJP) alusel, mis käsitlevad Tuumarelvakatsetuste Üldise Keelustamise Lepingu Organisatsiooni (CTBTO) toetamist, ning viies läbi teavitusüritusi, mis olid suunatud kõikidele riikidele, kes ei ole veel CTBT-le alla kirjutanud või seda ratifitseerinud, sealhulgas neile II lisas loetletud riikidele, kelle puhul ratifitseerimine on vajalik lepingu jõustumiseks. EL jätkab CTBT-alase teadlikkuse suurendamist eri kontekstides, sealhulgas poliitilise dialoogi kohtumiste raames, et kiirendada lepingu ratifitseerimist.

Sellest tulenevalt esines EL ka ÜRO Peaassamblee mitteametlikul kohtumisel, millega tähistati tuumakatsetustevastast päeva (5. september 2013), ning CTBT XIV artikli kohasel konverentsil (27. september 2013), et osutada täiendavat toetust lepingu jõustumisele. CTBTO täitevsekretär külastas Brüsselit 30. septembrist kuni 1. oktoobrini 2013 ning osales külastuse käigus peaesinejana ELi tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise konverentsil ning kohtus mitme ELi kõrge ametnikuga.

Konkreetsema jõupingutusena korraldas EL koostöös CTBTO ajutise tehnilise sekretariaadiga 2013. aasta juunis kõrvalürituse, millel käsitleti toetust, mida EL on osutanud ettevalmistuskomisjoni tegevusele, ning loodi ELi auhind, mida antakse CTBTO 2013. aasta teaduse ja tehnoloogia konverentsi raames.

EL korraldas koostöös CTBTO ja Angola ametivõimudega 30.–31. oktoobril 2013 Luandas CTBT ühisseminari, mille eesmärgiks oli edendada lepingu ratifitseerimist Angola poolt, kelle näol on tegemist piirkonnas võtmetähtsusega riigiga, ning mille käigus Angola kohustus lepingu järgnevate kuude jooksul ratifitseerima. EL jätkab CTBTOga koostöö tegemist teistes riikides, et teha edusamme CTBT ülemaailmse kohaldamise suunas. Samuti analüüsib EL võimalusi, kuidas toetada hiljuti CTBTO täitevsekretäri algatusel moodustatud silmapaistvate isikute rühma, mille eesmärgiks on täiendavalt edendada lepingu jõustumist.

KRDV poolt 12. veebruaril 2013 läbi viidud tuumakatsetus ja edasiste tuumakatsetuste toimepanemise oht näitasid selgelt, kui tähtis on tegelikkuses CTBTO tuvastusjaamade võrgustik – üks projektidest, mida EL nõukogu otsuste kaudu toetab. Mobiliseeritud on CTBTO meeskonnad, et anda kõigile tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu allkirjastanud riikidele infoliinide andmeid poliitikakujundajate teavitamiseks. 2013. aasta veebruaris toimepandud tuumakatsetus on näidanud ka seda, kui tähtis on läbi viia õppusi, näiteks 2014. aastal Jordaanias korraldatav integreeritud õppus, mille eesmärk on katsetada ja parandada tõelisi tuvastussüsteeme. Jõupingutused 321 seismilise abijaama haldamiseks, mida toetatakse I–V ühismeetme / nõukogu otsuse kaudu, ning jaamade võrgustikult saadavaid andmeid koguva, analüüsiva ja levitava CTBTO rahvusvahelise andmekeskuse rakendamiseks annavad panuse süsteemi vajalikku jätkusuutlikkusse.

Alustatud on tutvumistegevust ning seda jätkatakse, et ELi rahastamise abil täiendavalt toetada CTBTO ettevalmistuskomisjoni tegevust.

1.4.   Piirkondlikud küsimused (Iraan, KRDV)

EL jätkas jõupingutusi, mille eesmärk on saavutada läbirääkimiste kaudu diplomaatiline lahendus Iraani tuumaprobleemile, tuginedes tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingule ning kõikide asjakohaste ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu ja IAEA juhatajate nõukogu resolutsioonide täieulatuslikule rakendamisele. Pärast oktoobris ja novembris Genfis toimunud läbirääkimiste kolme vooru E3/EL+3 ning Iraani tuumaküsimuste uue läbirääkimisdelegatsiooni vahel viis ELi kõrge esindaja koos E3+3 (Hiina, Prantsusmaa, Saksamaa, Venemaa, Ühendkuningriik ja Ameerika Ühendriigid) välisministritega 24. novembril Genfis edukalt lõpule kohtumise, mille käigus saavutati Iraaniga kokkulepe (nimetusega ühine tegevuskava) esimeste sammude osas Iraani tuumaprogrammile laiaulatusliku lahenduse leidmiseks.

IAEA peadirektor ja Iraani asepresident allkirjastasid 11. novembril 2013. aastal Teheranis koostööraamistiku ühisavalduse, millega tugevdatakse koostööd ja dialoogi agentuuri ja Iraani vahel. Esimese sammuna leppisid Iraan ja IAEA kokku kuus esialgset ja praktilist meedet, mida Iraan kolme kuu jooksul võtab.

KRDV osas on EL jätkuvalt tungivalt nõudnud, et KRDV täidaks oma kohustusi vastavalt ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu asjakohastele resolutsioonidele, sealhulgas lõpetaks täielikult, kontrollitavalt ja tagasipöördumatult kõik oma käimasolevad tuuma- ja ballistiliste rakettide programmid. EL mõistis teravalt hukka KRDV poolt 12. veebruaril 2013 läbi viidud tuumakatsetuse, millega ta rikkus selgelt oma ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonide 1718, 1874 ja 2087 kohaseid rahvusvahelisi kohustusi ja mille tõttu võeti vastu ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioon 2094. EL on jätkuvalt nõudnud, et KRDV hakkaks taas täiel määral täitma tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingut ja IAEA kaitsemeetmetest tulenevaid kohustusi ning tagaks IAEA-le nõuetekohase juurdepääsu isikutele, dokumentidele, seadmetele ja rajatistele. EL on pidevalt toetanud kuuepoolsete kõneluste protsessi jätkamist ja on kutsunud KRDVd üles pöörduma tagasi usaldusväärsete ja tõeliste rahvusvaheliste läbirääkimiste juurde. Lisaks ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioonide rakendamisele on EL võtnud kasutusele täiendavad ühepoolsed piiravad meetmed, sealhulgas tugevdatud kontrolli kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade ja tavarelvastuse leviku suhtes. EL kordas oma nõudmist, et KRDV ratifitseeriks tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingu ning hoiduks igasugusest edasisest provokatiivsest tegevusest.

2.   DESARMEERIMISKONVERENTS / TUUMARELVADE VÕI MUUDE TUUMALÕHKESEADMETE JAOKS LÕHUSTUVATE MATERJALIDE TOOTMISE KEELUSTAMISE LEPING / ÜRO PEAASSAMBLEE 68. ISTUNGJÄRK

ÜRO Peaassamblee 68. istungjärgu käigus desarmeerimiskonverentsi eesistuja Iirimaa poolt esitatud esimese komitee resolutsioonis desarmeerimiskonverentsi aruande kohta kutsuti desarmeerimiskonverentsi üles leidma lahendus ummikseisule ning võtma vastu tasakaalustatud ja ulatuslik tööprogramm ning seda rakendama. Resolutsioonis tervitati otsust CD/1956/Rev.1, millega luuakse mitteametlik töörühm, millel on volitused koostada tööprogramm. EL väljendas enne ÜRO Peaassamblee esimese komitee koosolekut lootust, et mitteametliku töörühma töö viib konkreetsete ja reaalsete tulemusteni. EL tegi samuti selgeks, et kooskõlas oma pikaajalise pühendumisega desarmeerimiskonverentsi laiendamisele toetab ta tugevalt liikmesuse laiendamisega tegeleva erikoordinaatori ametisse nimetamist. Vastavalt ELi koostööle kodanikuühiskonnaga avaldas EL toetust ka kodanikuühiskonna ja desarmeerimiskonverentsi vahelisele tõhustatud lävimisele, misläbi tugevdatakse valitsusväliste organisatsioonide ja teadusinstitutsioonide panust konverentsi töösse.

ELi jaoks on jätkuvalt selge prioriteet alustada desarmeerimiskonverentsil dokumendi CD/1299 ja selles sisalduvate volituste alusel viivitamata läbirääkimisi tuumarelvade või muude tuumalõhkeseadmete jaoks lõhustuvate materjalide tootmise keelustamise lepingu üle ning viia need kiiresti lõpule. Tuumadesarmeerimise valdkonnas on sellist lepingut kiiresti vaja, et täiendada tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise lepingut ja tuumarelvakatsetuste üldise keelustamise lepingut. EL tervitas ÜRO Peaassamblee resolutsiooniga 67/53 loodud valitsusekspertide töörühma, mis korraldab koosolekuid 2014. ja 2015. aastal.

ELi delegatsioon esitas ÜRO Peaassamblee 68. istungjärgul kuus avaldust (üldine avaldus ning ELi seisukohad tuumarelvade, desarmeerimismehhanismi, teiste massihävitusrelvade, tavarelvade ja avakosmose küsimuses). EL osales korrapäraselt interaktiivsetes aruteludes ja paneeldiskussioonides. Euroopa välisteenistus esitas heakskiidetud kõnepunktide alusel märkusi ja küsimusi, sealhulgas mõttevahetuste käigus, milles osalesid desarmeerimise kõrge esindaja ja teised kõrged ametnikud ning asepeasekretär Kim Won Soo (muutuste juhtimine), desarmeerimismehhanismi paneeldiskussioonis ning ÜRO valitsusekspertide töörühma eesistuja sissejuhatuse käigus (läbipaistvuse ja usalduse suurendamise meetmed avakosmoses).

Mis puudutab ELi tegevust seoses esimeses komitees esitatud resolutsioonidega, siis ELi liikmesriigid hääletasid ühiselt 32 korral, mis hõlmas hääletamist eraldiseisvate punktide üle. Kõik ELi liikmesriigid toetasid ühiselt üheksat resolutsiooni. ELi liikmesriigid ei suutnud üksmeelt saavutada 11 korral.

Paralleelselt esimese komiteega esitasid ELi delegatsioonid ELi avaldusi ka neljandas komitees sellistes küsimustes nagu miinivastase tegevuse toetamine ja avakosmose rahuotstarbeline kasutamine ning peaassamblee täiskogu arutelul seoses IAEA aruandega. Haagi tegevusjuhendi osas vt punkt 5.

3.   KEEMIARELVAD

Keemiarelvade Keelustamise Organisatsiooni (OPCW) päevakorras oli peale kolmandat läbivaatamiskonverentsi olulisel kohal Süüria küsimus, mis pärast suve muutus keskseks küsimuseks, kui Süüria võttis USA-Venemaa raamlepingu alusel vastu enneolematu otsuse deklareerida oma keemiarelvad OPCW-le ning ühineda keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooniga (Süüriast sai ametlikult konventsiooni osalisriik 14. oktoobril 2013). EL on toetanud ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu ja OPCW keemiarelvade kõrvaldamise ranget kava seeläbi, et on tarninud kümme kõrgel tehnilisel tasemel soomusautot ja satelliitkujutisi hävitamiskava I ja II etapi läbiviimise hõlbustamiseks (viimasega seoses võeti 9. detsembril 2013 vastu nõukogu otsus 2013/726/ÜVJP, millega eraldati ÜVJP eelarvest 2,3 miljonit eurot). Samuti on EL kohustunud rahaliselt märkimisväärselt toetama vastloodud OPCW sihtfondi, et toetada III etapi läbiviimist.

Pärast keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni kolmandat läbivaatamiskonverentsi keskendus EL jätkuvalt oma prioriteetidele, milleks on eelkõige i) olemasolevate varude hävitamise lõpuleviimine; ii) keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamine (seitse riiki ei ole veel selle osalised); iii) tähelepanu suunamine massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise alastele jõupingutustele; iv) suutlikkuse suurendamise edendamine seoses ohutuse ja julgeolekuga arengumaade keemiatööstuses kooskõlas XI artikliga, ning reageerimine keemiarelvade kasutamisele, tuginedes X artiklile.

ELi toetuse mõju osas kasutasid kõik väljavalitud toetatavad riigid toetust kriitilise tähtsusega tehniliste lünkade täitmiseks, mis võimaldas nendel osalisriikidel saavutada olulist edu keemiarelvade keelustamise konventsiooni riigisisesel rakendamisel. Konkreetselt võib märkida, et ELi nõukogu otsused on endiselt ainuvõimalik viis sedalaadi toetuse andmiseks, et kõrvaldada konventsiooni rakendamise puudujääke. OPCW tehnilise sekretariaadi poolt viimastel aastatel läbi viidud 90 riiklikust rakendamise allprojektist oleks ligikaudu pooled jäänud teostamata ilma ühismeetmete / nõukogu otsuste alusel antavate rahaliste vahenditeta.

Mis puudutab ELi prioriteeti konventsiooni ülemaailmse kohaldamise edendamise alal, siis alates esimese ühismeetme vastuvõtmisest on konventsiooniga ühinenud 19 riiki ning neli riiki, kes ühinesid konventsiooniga 2005. aastal, olid kaasatud ühismeetme / nõukogu otsusega rahastatud teavitustegevusse; järgmistel aastatel ühinenud riikidest olid sellesse tegevusse kaasatud kõik.

4.   BIOLOOGILISED RELVAD

Pärast bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni (BTWC) seitsmendat läbivaatamiskonverentsi (Genf, detsember 2011) alustas EL konstruktiivset tegevust istungitevahelises protsessis, koostades avaldusi ja konkreetseid töödokumente järgmistel teemadel: 1) rahvusvaheline koostöö ja abi; 2) riikide rakendustegevuse tugevdamine; 3) suutlikkuse suurendamine bioohutuse ja bioturvalisuse valdkonnas. ELi delegatsioon esitas ELi avaldusi ekspertide kohtumisel (Genf, 12.–16. august 2013) ja osalisriikide kohtumisel (Genf, 9.–13. detsember 2013). Viimati nimetatud kohtumisel esitati muudetud ja ajakohastatud ELi töödokument, mis käsitles X artiklit (koostöö ja abi).

ELi meetmete tulemused hõlmasid bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni parema järgimise edendamist kõigis geograafilistes piirkondades, asjaomaste riigiasutuste tõhusamat arusaamist konventsioonist ja/või tugevamat paikkondlikku võrgustikku, et edendada konventsiooniga ühinemist ning propageerida bioloogiliste ja toksiinrelvade konventsiooni vabatahtlikku rakendamist enne selle ratifitseerimist / sellega ühinemist. 2009.–2013. aastal ühines konventsiooniga neli riiki. Sidekanalid on loodud mitme muu osalisriigiks mitteoleva riigiga Aasias, Aafrikas ja Ladina-Ameerikas, millega on pandud alus tulevasele tegevusele.

UNODA Genfi büroo (rakendamise tugiüksus) korraldas nõukogu 23. juuli 2012. aasta otsuse 2012/421/ÜVJP rakendamise kaudu piirkondlikke seminare, et suurendada asjaomaste siseriiklike ametivõimude teadmisi BTWCst, tugevdada paikkondlikku võrgustikutööd, et edendada BTWCga ühinemist ja rakendamist, teha kindlaks vajadused BTWC rakendamise tõhustamiseks ning luua ja/või toetada riiklikke ja piirkondlikke bioloogilise ohutuse alaseid assotsiatsioone; kõnealused seminarid toimusid Lõuna- ja Kagu-Aasia riikide jaoks Malaisias Kuala Lumpuris (3.–4. november) ning Kesk-Ameerika ja Kariibi piirkonna riikide jaoks Méxicos (13.–14. november). Siseriiklikke seminare korraldati ka Ecuadoris Quitos (14. oktoober), Burkina Fasos (2.–3. detsember) ja Beninis (5.–6. detsember).

EL osaleb ka bioloogilise ohutuse ja bioloogilise julgeoleku suurendamise toetamises. Sellega seoses nähakse nõukogu 18. novembri 2013. aasta otsusega 2013/668/ÜVJP ette enam kui 1,7 miljonit eurot, et toetada Maailma Terviseorganisatsiooni tehniliste eksperditeadmiste kaudu projekte, mille eesmärk on edendada teatavates valitud osalisriikides bioloogilise ohu alast teadlikkust, laborite bioloogilise ohu haldamist ja laborite osas siseriiklike strateegiate väljatöötamist.

5.   RAKETID

EL on seisukohal, et ballistiliste rakettide leviku tõkestamist käsitlev Haagi tegevusjuhend on oluline mitmepoolne vahend, mille eesmärk on takistada ballistiliste rakettide süsteemide ja nendega seotud tehnoloogiate levikut läbipaistvust ja usaldust suurendavate meetmete abil, ning on seda igati toetanud selle vastuvõtmisest alates. Tegevusjuhendile on alla kirjutanud kõik ELi liikmesriigid. EL on jätkuvalt järginud ja toetanud tegevusjuhendi kolme aspekti: ülemaailmset kohaldamist, rakendamist ning tegevusjuhendi toimimise tõhustamist ja parandamist.

Haagi tegevusjuhendi ja üldise kanderakettide leviku tõkestamise toetuseks vastu võetud nõukogu otsuse 2012/423/ÜVJP põhjal korraldas EL koos rakendusüksusega Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique 15. jaanuaril 2013 Viinis konverentsi Haagi tegevusjuhendi allkirjastamise 10. aastapäeva tähistamiseks. EL korraldas 31. mail 2013 Haagi tegevusjuhendi iga-aastase korralise kohtumise raames Viinis Haagi tegevusjuhendi toetuseks teavitusürituse. Edasine tegevus hõlmas 2013. aasta septembris Genfis toimunud teavitusüritust ja Pariisis toimunud teadlikkuse suurendamise üritust raketitehnoloogia üleandmise kohta ning osalejaterohket teavitusüritust, mis toimus 11. oktoobril 2013 ÜRO Peaassamblee esimese komitee raames. Ekspertide missioon külastas 2013. aasta septembris Hiinat ja 2013. aasta detsembri alguses Indiat. Esimene piirkondlik seminar toimus 27. novembril 2013 Singapuris.

Tagati ELi tegevuse nähtavus, sealhulgas ELi delegatsiooni juhi osalemise kaudu ja tänu selgetele viidetele ELi rahastamisele, mida mainisid peaaegu kõik kõnelejad. Uuendusi rakendati ürituse reaalajas voogedastuse ja internetipõhiste arutelude kaudu.

Raketitehnoloogia kontrollirežiimi (MTCR) 25. täiskogu istung toimus 16.–18. oktoobrini 2013 Roomas. EL esitas 16. ja 17. oktoobril 2013 kaks avaldust. Täiskogu istungi pressiteates viidatakse Iraanile ja Põhja-Koreale kui praegustele ballistiliste rakettide leviku kriisipiirkondadele.

6.   KBRT-OHTUDE VÄHENDAMINE

EL on jätkanud edasiminekut 2009. aastal vastu võetud ELi keemilist, bioloogilist, radioloogilist ja tuumaohtu (KBRT) käsitleva tegevuskava rakendamise osas ning kuritegevuse ärahoidmise ja selle vastu võitlemise programmiga on seni toetatud umbes 30 projekti rakendamist.

Lisaks osutatakse KBRT tegevuskavale teaduslikku ja tehnilist toetust mitme KBRT-alase teadusprojektiga, mida rahastatakse seitsmenda raamprogrammi kaudu turvalise ühiskonna programmist ning millega arendatakse uuringuid, mis hõlmavad kogu kriisiohjetsüklit (ennetusest taastamiseni). Samuti jätkub tegevus antud valdkonna standardiseerimisvajaduste kindlakstegemiseks, mis võib viia Euroopa normide (EN) standardite väljatöötamiseni. Eelseisva programmiga „Horisont 2020” (2014–2020) tugevdatakse KBRT-alaste teadusuuringute valdkonna käimasolevaid jõupingutusi kesksete teemade abil, mille tööprogramm võeti vastu 10. detsembril 2013.

Tegevuskava rakendamise 2012. aasta eduaruandes toodi esile peamised saavutused, milleks olid eelkõige teabe- ja parimate tavade vahetamise parandamine, ühiste koolitusürituste korraldamine ning kõrge riskiastmega ainete kolme ELi nimekirja (keemilised ained, bioloogilised ained ning radioloogilised-tuumaained) heakskiitmine.

Selleks, et kehtestada visioon tulevaste aastate poliitikast, kavatseb komisjon 2014. aasta esimesel poolaastal esitada teatise uue ulatusliku ELi KBRT-L (lõhkeained) tegevuskava kohta, mis keskendub piiratud arvule prioriteetsetele valdkondadele, mille puhul on ELi lisaväärtus ilmne.

Selleks, et 2015. aastaks rakendada praegune tegevuskava ning määratleda uus KBRT-L tegevuskava, teeb komisjon liikmesriikide ametiasutuste ja teiste asjaomaste sidusrühmadega tihedat koostööd KBRT-L nõuanderühmas ja selle allrühmades, mille koosolekud toimuvad korrapäraselt.

Stabiliseerimisvahendi kaudu rahastatav ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskuste algatus käivitati ELi poolt 2010. aasta mais. Nimetatud tippkeskuste rajamise põhjuseks on mitmete riikide ebapiisav institutsiooniline suutlikkus leevendada selliseid KBRT-ohte nagu kuritegevus (KBRT-materjalide levik, terrorism), looduskatastroofid (zoonoosid ja epideemiad) ja õnnetused (tööstusega seotud õnnetused). Keskuste eesmärk on töötada välja riikide ja piirkondade tasandil kõiki ohte hõlmav KBRT-poliitika selliste ohtude ettenägemiseks ja neile reageerimiseks. Lühidalt väljendudes on tegemist struktuuriliste meetmetega, millega vähendatakse piirkondade ja ELi julgeoleku ühistest huvidest lähtuvalt riikide haavatavust KBRT-ohtude ees.

Selle eesmärgi saavutamiseks tuleb toetada piirkondlike eksperdivõrgustike loomist õigus-, regulatiiv-, tehnilistes ning kontrolli- ja jõustamisküsimustes, mis on seotud KBRT-ohtude vähendamisega.

On loodud kuus piirkondlikku keskust: 1. Põhja-Aafrika (Alžiir), 2. Aafrika Atlandi ookeani rannik (Rabat), 3. Lähis-Ida (Amman), 4. Kagu-Euroopa, Lõuna-Kaukaasia, Moldova Vabariik, Ukraina (Tbilisi), 5. Kagu-Aasia (Manila) ja 6. Sahara-tagune Aafrika (Nairobi), ning need on alustanud tööd. Järgmiseks sammuks on piirkondlike sekretariaatide avamine Kesk-Aasias (Taškent – kinnitamisel) ja Pärsia lahe riikides (Abu Dhabi). Lisaks 33 varem kokku lepitud projektile maksumusega 26 miljonit eurot luuakse erinevate konsortsiumidega (ka liikmesriikides) uusi projekte, mille maksumus on umbes 10 miljonit eurot.

7.   EKSPERDIRÜHMAD

Lähtudes nõukogu 26. juuli 2010. aasta otsusest 2010/430/ÜVJP, on ELi tööd massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia raames aktiivselt toetanud massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ELi konsortsium, mis alustas tegevust 2011. aasta jaanuaris. Esimese kolme tegevusaasta jooksul kasvas konsortsiumi võrgustik nii, et see hõlmas kogu Euroopas üle 60 eksperdirühma. Pärast 2012. aastal korraldatud edukaid meetmeid (esimene ELi tuumarelva leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise konverents 3.–4. veebruaril ning Lähis-Ida massihävitusrelvadest vaba tsooni käsitlev seminar 5.–6. novembril 2012) korraldati 30. septembrist1. oktoobrini 2013 edukalt uus rahvusvaheline aastakonverents massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise teemal, millele eelnes 17.–18. juunil 2013 toimunud ELi teine konsultatiivkoosolek. Vahepeal tõhustas konsortsium koostöös teiste sama valdkonna eksperdirühmadega uurimistööd ning avaldas massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase ELi strateegia rakendamise aspektist olulisi töödokumente, mis on avalikkusele kättesaadavad konsortsiumi kodulehel <http://www.nonproliferation.eu/>. Mõju osas suurendas konsortsiumi tegevus ELi nähtavust kolmandates riikides ja kodanikuühiskonnas ning andis märkimisväärse panuse ELi poliitikakujundamisse massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase tegevuse ja desarmeerimise valdkondades. Konsortsium loob platvormi praktikute mitteametlikeks kontaktideks ja aitab edendada dialoogi eri sidusrühmade vahel. Tegevus on aidanud suurendada teadlikkust tuuma-, keemia- ja bioloogiliste relvadega seonduvatest probleemidest. Töötati välja uus nõukogu otsus, mis võetakse vastu 2014. aasta alguses ning millega tagatakse, et konsortsium saab oma tegevust jätkata ka perioodil 2014–2016. Uue otsusega antakse konsortsiumi pädevusse traditsioonilise tegevuse jätkamine ja uute projektide läbiviimine.

8.   ÜRO JULGEOLEKUNÕUKOGU RESOLUTSIOON 1540 JA EKSPORDIKONTROLL

a)   ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsioon 1540

Nõukogu võttis 22. juulil 2013 vastu uue nõukogu otsuse ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 toetamiseks. Seda rakendab ÜRO desarmeerimisküsimuste büroo (UNODA), kes korraldab kogu maailmas piirkondlikke seminare ja riiklikke abialaseid visiite. Kõnealuse nõukogu otsuse rakendamine, mis algas 24. oktoobril 2013, aitab suurendada asjaomaseid riiklikke ja piirkondlikke jõupingutusi, toetab ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamise seisu täieliku läbivaatamise käigus (2009. aastal) esitatud soovituste praktilist rakendamist ning riikide taotlusel riiklike tegevuskavade algatamist ja arendamist.

UNODA on sõlminud lepingu OSCEga, mis tagab koostoime ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 toetamiseks. Ka ELi KBRT-alaste tippkeskustega püütakse saavutada koostoimet ja kooskõlastamist ning vältida tegevuse kattumist.

b)   Ekspordikontroll

Euroopa Komisjon viis lõpule ELi ekspordikontrolli korra läbivaatamise teise etapi ning võttis vastu Euroopa Parlamendile ja nõukogule esitatava aruande, mis käsitleb määruse (EÜ) nr 428/2009 rakendamist perioodil 2010–2012. Aruandes kirjeldatakse ekspordikontrolli eeskirjade ja korra hiljutisi arenguid ning meetmeid, mida on võetud, et tagada ekspordikontrolli järjekindel teostamine kogu ELis. Samuti sisaldab aruanne esimest kogu ELi hõlmavat hinnangut lubade andmise kohta ning selles esitatakse sidusrühmade seisukohad ekspordikontrolli mõju kohta julgeolekule ja kaubandusele ning vajaduse kohta kohandada parameetreid vastavalt muutuvatele julgeoleku-, tehnoloogia- ja majandusalastele asjaoludele.

Õigusloome osas on jätkunud arutelu ELi kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade alase määruse (EÜ) nr 428/2009 kavandatud muudatuste üle, et kiirendada ELi kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade kontrollinimekirjade ajakohastamist, ning 2013. aasta septembris ja detsembris toimusid kolmepoolsed kohtumised, et lõpetada ettepaneku esimene lugemine.

Ekspordikontrolli rakendamist toetati kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade koordineerimisrühma kahe koosoleku korraldamise abil, sealhulgas korraldati 2013. aasta novembris ühine kohtumine tolliasutuste esindajatega. Kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade koordineerimisrühm valmistas samuti ette suunised pädevate asutuste vaheliste konsultatsioonide pidamiseks.

Tagati tihe koostöö partnerite ja kolmandate riikidega ning eelkõige leidis 2013. aasta oktoobris kõrgtehnoloogia töörühma raames aset ekspordikontrolli dialoog Hiinaga.

Toimus ELi koordineerimiskohtumine, et tutvustada ELi kokkulepitud seisukohti asjakohastel ekspordikontrolli süsteemide teemalistel kohtumistel teisel poolaastal (tuumatarneriikide grupi konsultatiivgrupi koosolek 2013. aasta novembris; Wassenaari kokkuleppe: üldine töörühm 2013. aasta oktoobris ja üldkoosolek 2013. aasta novembris; Austraalia grupp: üldkoosolek 2013. aasta juunis; MTCR: üldkoosolek 2013. aasta oktoobris). EL (ELi eesistujariigi meeskond) tutvustas 2013. aasta oktoobris Wassenaari kokkuleppe üldises töörühmas ELi teavitustegevust tavarelvastuse ja kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade ekspordikontrolli valdkonnas.

Jätkus ELi ekspordikontrolli teavitustegevuse programm, millega suurendatakse kolmandates riikides (23 riiki) haldussuutlikkust kahesuguse kasutusega kaupade käsitlemisel. Programmi rahastatakse stabiliseerimisvahendi kaudu.

9.   KOSMOS

EL on alates 2007. aastast edendanud avakosmosetegevuse rahvusvahelise tegevusjuhendi arendamist. See rahvusvaheline ja vabatahtlik suuniste kogu suurendaks kogu kosmosetegevuse ohutust, julgeolekut ja prognoositavust. Sellised suunised peaksid muu hulgas piirama või viima miinimumini kahjustava sekkumise, kosmoses toimuvad kokkupõrked või õnnetused, samuti kosmosejäätmete tekkimise. Suunistega kehtestatakse peamised eeskirjad, mida peaksid järgima kõik kosmoseriigid nii tsiviil- kui ka sõjalise kosmosetegevuse puhul.

EL tutvustas 5. juunil 2012 Viinis rahvusvahelisele kogukonnale uut eelnõu, mis töötati välja pärast konsultatsioone peamiste kosmoseriikidega.

Teksti muudeti pärast selle üle peetud avatud konsultatsioone, mis toimusid 16.–17. mail 2013 Kiievis ja milles osales ligikaudu 140 esindajat 61 riigist. Muudetud teksti üle peetavate konsultatsioonide teine voor toimus 20.–22. novembrini 2013 Bangkokis ning selles osales 66 riiki ja organisatsiooni ning 133 osalejat. Bangkoki kohtumine oli innustav, kuna sellel arutati põhjalikult teksti ning menetluslike küsimuste roll oli väike. Protsessi läbipaistvamaks ja kaasavamaks muutmise eesmärgil pidas erisaadik aasta jooksul konsultatsioone märkimisväärse arvu riikidega ning külastas enne Bangkokis toimunud konsultatsioone muu hulgas ka Pekingit ja Moskvat.

Nõukogu 29. mai 2012. aasta otsuse 2012/281/ÜVJP (mis käsitleb Euroopa julgeolekustrateegia raames rahvusvahelist avakosmosetegevuse tegevusjuhendit käsitleva liidu ettepaneku toetamist) alusel on rakendusüksus (ÜRO desarmeerimise uurimise instituut / UNIDIR) teinud tööd, et suurendada teadlikkust tegevusjuhendi kohta ja toetada mitmepoolset protsessi. UNIDR korraldas mitmeid piirkondlikke seminare (Kuala Lumpur, Addis Abeba, México ja Astana) ning organiseeris kolm suuremat mitmepoolset kohtumist, mille korraldasid EL / Euroopa välisteenistus Viinis, Kiievis ja Bangkokis. Kiievis ja Bangkokis toimunud kohtumiste puhul anti ka reisitoetust, et lihtsustada kolmandate riikide ametnike ja ekspertide osalemist.

Nagu sissejuhatuses märgitud, tegi erisaadik märkimisväärseid jõupingutusi seoses ÜRO valitsusekspertide töörühma uuringuga, mis käsitleb läbipaistvuse ja usalduse suurendamise meetmeid avakosmoses. Uuringu positiivsed tulemused, mis sisaldasid ka kasulikke viiteid tegevusjuhendi osas tehtud ELi ettepanekule, innustasid kõiki ELi liikmesriike ÜRO Peaassamblee esimeses komitees toetama resolutsiooni, mis käsitleb läbipaistvuse ja usalduse suurendamise meetmeid avakosmoses ning mille komitee konsensuse alusel vastu võttis.

10.   MASSIHÄVITUSRELVADE LEVIKU TÕKESTAMISE KLAUSLID

ELi massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase strateegia kohaselt jätkas EL massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise küsimuse edendamist oma lepingulistes suhetes kolmandate riikidega.

ELi ja kolmandate riikide vahelistes asjakohastes lepingutes massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise klauslite lisamise üle peeti täiendavaid läbirääkimisi, eelkõige Brunei, Jaapani ja Kasahstaniga. Läbirääkimiste tulemusel suureneb teadlikkus massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise alasest ELi poliitikast ning selle tulemusel luuakse foorum, et vastastikku mõista asjakohaseid seisukohti, määratleda võimalikud tulevased koostöövaldkonnad ja innustada partnerriike tegema konkreetseid edusamme seoses massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise rahvusvahelise korraga.

11.   MUUD MITMEPOOLSED FOORUMID

G8

EL osales aktiivselt massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise ja desarmeerimise eest vastutavate direktorite kohtumistes G8 tippkohtumise massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamist käsitleva avalduse ettevalmistamisel ning aitas esitada mitmeid demarše seoses IAEA lisaprotokolli ja ÜRO Julgeolekunõukogu resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamisega riikides, tehes koostööd eesistuja Ühendkuningriigiga.

Ülemaailmne partnerlus on alates selle loomisest 2002. aastal laienenud väljapoole G8 piire ning sellest on saanud koordineerimise ja koostöö platvorm, millega on liitunud veel 17 partnerit. Deauville’i tippkohtumisel 2011. aasta mais leppisid G8 juhid kokku, et jätkatakse bioloogilise ja tuumajulgeoleku tugevdamist ning resolutsiooni 1540 rakendamist. USA 2012. aastal ja Ühendkuningriik 2013. aastal arendasid seda tegevuskava edasi, luues ülemaailmse partnerluse töörühma raames eelkõige neli alltöörühma, mis käsitlevad bioloogilist julgeolekut, keemilist julgeolekut, tuumajulgeolekut ja tippkeskusi. Viimasel kuuel kuul on üheks prioriteediks olnud (teiste) piirkondlike organisatsioonide kaasamine ning piirkondliku isevastutuse suurendamine. G8 ülemaailmse partnerluse raames said veelgi hoogu juurde tippkeskuste alltöörühma asutamise juures olnud ELi tippkeskused, täites eelkõige oma rolli piirkondliku teabe vahetamise hõlbustamisel ning võimalusel rahastajate tegevuse kattumise vältimisel.

12.   POLIITILISE DIALOOGI KOHTUMISED

Peamiselt erisaadiku poolt läbiviidud poliitilise dialoogi kohtumised massihävitusrelvade leviku vastase võitluse ja desarmeerimise teemal korraldati Venemaa (Moskvas), Brasiilia (Brüsselis) ja Hiinaga (Pekingis). Samuti pidas erisaadik erinevate osapooltega arvukalt mitteametlikke konsultatsioone, sealhulgas selliste oluliste sündmuste raames nagu Viinis toimunud IAEA peakonverents (Korea Vabariik), New Yorgis toimunud ÜRO Peaassamblee esimese komitee koosolek (India, USA, Venemaa, ÜRO sekretariaat, Lõuna-Aafrika), Londonis toimunud desarmeerimise eest vastutavate G8 direktorite rühma koosolek (Kanada) ning konsultatsioone Kasahstaniga (Astanas). EL kooskõlastas oma seisukohti USAga iga-aastase EL 28 – USA kõrgetasemelise dialoogi käigus, mis hõlmas kõiki massihävitusrelvade leviku tõkestamise, desarmeerimise ja relvastuskontrolli tegevuskava küsimusi ning toimus 13. detsembril 2013. aastal Brüsselis.
