| 7. | EU je še naprej podpirala osrednje pristojnosti IAEA glede neširjenja orožja, jedrske energije, jedrske varnosti in tehničnega sodelovanja. Pozdravila je sprejetje načrta IAEA za jedrsko varnost za obdobje 2018–2021 ter promovirala potrebo po predvidljivih in trajnostnih sredstvih za jedrsko varnost. Če upoštevamo tudi dvostranske prispevke držav članic, je EU druga največja donatorka v Sklad IAEA za jedrsko varnost. V obdobju od leta 2009 do leta 2017 je na podlagi sedmih zaporednih skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta prispevala več kot 45 milijonov EUR. Po uspehu Sklepa Sveta VI, 2013/517/SZVP (1), in na podlagi izkušenj, ki jih je pridobila z njim, je sprejela še sedmi sklep Sveta v podporo dejavnostim IAEA na področju jedrske varnosti v sklopu načrta IAEA za jedrsko varnost za obdobje 2017–2019. |

| 13. | EU je miroljubno rabo jedrske energije podprla tako, da je v obdobju 2014–2020 za spodbujanje jedrske varnosti, varstva pred sevanjem ter uporabo učinkovitih in delujočih nadzornih ukrepov v tretjih državah namenila 225 milijonov EUR. Skupaj z državami članicami pripisuje izredno velik pomen zagotavljanju in stalnemu izboljševanju jedrske varnosti po vsem svetu. Eden od ciljev Direktive Sveta 2009/71/Euratom z dne 25. junija 2009 o vzpostavitvi okvira Skupnosti za jedrsko varnost jedrskih objektov (4) je preprečevanje nesreč oziroma, če do njih pride, blaženje njihovih posledic s preprečevanjem zgodnjih in velikih izpustov radioaktivnih snovi. EU in njene države članice še naprej močno podpirajo program tehničnega sodelovanja v okviru IAEA, med drugim z znatnimi prispevki v Sklad za tehnično sodelovanje in za pobudo za miroljubno rabo. O zavezanosti EU vsem trem stebrom NPT priča tudi dejstvo, da je po velikosti prispevka v program tehnične pomoči na drugem mestu. |

Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov

| 15. | Pomembna cilja Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje sta čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti in univerzalnost CTBT. Vse države članice EU so svojo zavezanost Pogodbi pokazale tako, da so jo ratificirale in začele začasno izvajati iz nje izhajajoče temeljne obveznosti. EU dosledno promovira prednosti in dodano vrednost te pogodbe za mir, varnost in neširjenje orožja, tudi kadar je uporabljena v civilne namene, in finančno podpira Organizacijo Pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBTO). |

Pomembna cilja Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje sta čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti in univerzalnost CTBT. Vse države članice EU so svojo zavezanost Pogodbi pokazale tako, da so jo ratificirale in začele začasno izvajati iz nje izhajajoče temeljne obveznosti. EU dosledno promovira prednosti in dodano vrednost te pogodbe za mir, varnost in neširjenje orožja, tudi kadar je uporabljena v civilne namene, in finančno podpira Organizacijo Pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBTO).

Sodelovala je pri srečanju skupine GICNT za izvajanje in ocenjevanje (8.–10. februar 2017), ki ga je gostila Indija, ter na plenarnem zasedanju GICNT v Tokiu (1. in 2. junij 2017). Skupaj z državami članicami je dejavno vključena v delo skupine GICNT za izvajanje in ocenjevanje (IAG) na vseh področjih, od odkrivanja jedrskih snovi in jedrske forenzike do odziva in blažitve. Dejavno je prispevala k vsebini vseh referenčnih dokumentov delovnih skupin IAG. Na plenarnem zasedanju je bila za koordinatorja IAG v obdobju 2017–2019 izbrana Finska. Evropska unija in njene države članice sodelujejo pri dogodkih in jih tudi same organizirajo, da bi prispevale k mednarodni ozaveščenosti in zavezanosti jedrski varnosti. Takšni dogodki so bili med drugim delavnice „Sentinel 2017“ o najboljših praksah na področju programov nacionalnih vaj za jedrsko varnost, ki sta jih pod okriljem GICNT organizirali vladi Združenega kraljestva in Bolgarije, delavnice „Magic Maggiore Technical Reach-back“, ki so potekale v Skupnem raziskovalnem središču v Ispri v Italiji, delavnice „Vigilant Marmot Legal Frameworks“, ki jih je v okviru GICNT skupaj s Kanado in Uradom Združenih narodov za droge in kriminal organizirala Slovaška, ter vaja z naslovom „Exercise Olympus: Law Enforcement and Technical Reachback Dialogue“, ki jo je v sodelovanju z GICNT in Interpolom organizirala vlada Romunije. |

| 22. | EU in njene države članice so podprle resolucijo Generalne skupščine ZN o preverjanju jedrskega razoroževanja iz leta 2016, v kateri se poziva k ustanovitvi skupine vladnih strokovnjakov, ki bi preučila vlogo preverjanja pri jedrskem razoroževanju, ter poznejšo odločitev Prvega odbora iz leta 2017 o nadaljevanju tozadevnih prizadevanj. EU podpira delo širših partnerstev in kooperativnih ureditev za preverjanje ter je sodelovala pri delu Mednarodnega partnerstva za preverjanje jedrskega razoroževanja (IPNDV) vse od njegove vzpostavitve leta 2015. V drugi fazi IPNDV, ki se je začela na petem plenarnem zasedanju novembra 2017 v Buenos Airesu, si bo EU (ESZD, JRC Evropske komisije in GD ENER) še naprej prizadevala za pripravo tehničnih zmogljivosti za učinkovito preverjanje prihodnjih sporazumov o nadzoru jedrskega orožja in jedrskem razoroževanju. Kot glavna cilja sta določena znatna podpora skupini vladnih strokovnjakov ZN za preverjanje jedrskega razoroževanja in konferenca o pregledu NPT leta 2020. |

Regionalna vprašanja

| 23. | Evropsko unijo še vedno zelo skrbijo programi Demokratične ljudske republike Koreje (DLRK) na področju jedrskega orožja, orožja za množično uničevanje in balističnih izstrelkov ter odločitev DLRK, da nikakor ne bo več sodelovala z IAEA. EU je najostreje obsodila DLRK v zvezi z njenim jedrskim programom in programom balističnih izstrelkov. Sporočilo Evropske unije je jasno: DLRK mora v celoti, preverljivo in nepovratno opustiti jedrsko orožje za množično uničevanje in programe balističnih izstrelkov, takoj prekiniti vse povezane dejavnosti in se vrniti k Pogodbi o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in pod zaščitne ukrepe IAEA. Predsednik Evropskega sveta in visoka predstavnica EU za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko sta podala odločne izjave po jedrskem poskusu, ki ga je DLRK izvedla 3. septembra 2017. Organizacija CTBTO se je nemudoma in učinkovito odzvala na jedrski poskus, ki ga je izvedla DLRK: dokazala je sposobnost režima preverjanja, da zagotovi neodvisne in zanesljive podatke. To je pomemben prispevek k regionalni in mednarodni stabilnosti. Takoj so bile podane tudi izjave EU, in sicer na konferenci o razoroževanju v Ženevi ter na tehničnem informativnem sestanku, ki ga je organiziral začasni tehnični sekretariat CTBTO na Dunaju. |

V poročilih skupnega preiskovalnega mehanizma v letih 2016 in 2017 so bile potrjene tri uporabe klorovega plina ter ena uporaba sarina, oboje s strani sirskih oboroženih sil. Skupni preiskovalni mehanizem je ugotovil tudi, da je ISIL odgovorna za uporabo žveplovega iperita v dveh primerih. EU je s Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2015/2215 (6), sprejetim 30. novembra 2015, zagotovila finančno podporo v višini 4,6 milijona EUR za stroške, povezane z dejavnostmi, ki se izvajajo v okviru skupnega preiskovalnega mehanizma na podlagi RVSZN 2235 (2015). S Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2017/2303 (7) z dne 12. decembra 2017 in Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2017/2302 (8) z dne 12. decembra 2017 je EU zagotovila pomoč OPCW za zagotavljanje satelitskih posnetkov v podporo operacijam v Siriji (1 milijon EUR) in za dekontaminacijo nekdanjega skladišča kemičnega orožja v Libiji v kraju Ruwagha (3,3 milijona EUR).

EU je novembra 2014 generalnemu direktorju OPCW poslala pismo, v katerem ga je obvestila o tej možnosti in pozvala, naj v zvezi s tem stopi v stik s sirskimi oblastmi. Predlog je bil posredovan sirskim oblastem, ki pa ga zaenkrat zavračajo. EU na ta predlog opozarja ob vsaki primerni priložnosti, tudi ko daje izjave v okviru OPCW. |

Center odličnosti za zmanjševanje kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske ogroženosti se financira v okviru instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru, njegovi cilji pa so zmanjševanje ogroženosti zaradi kemičnih, bioloških, radioloških in jedrskih materialov, krepitev pripravljenosti partnerskih držav ter razvijanje kulture in upravljanja varnosti. Sodelujočim državam se zagotavlja podpora pri njihovih prizadevanjih, da bi prostovoljno in po regionalnem pristopu „od spodaj navzgor“ vzpostavile usklajevalne in upravljalne strukture na nacionalni in regionalni ravni. V okviru teh platform se na podlagi ocen konkretnih potreb in nacionalnih akcijskih načrtov razvijajo predlogi politike in zmogljivosti. Podpira jih več regionalnih projektov sodelovanja, financiranih v okviru pobude, vendar ostajajo odprte tudi za financiranje iz drugih instrumentov. Od leta 2010 je bilo financiranih 66 regionalnih projektov. Proračun pobude za desetletno obdobje, ki se je začelo leta 2010, znaša 250 milijonov EUR.

| 50. | Mreža centrov odličnosti je zdaj dobro razvita in je EU omogočila izvajanje simulacij za usposabljanje in čezmejnih terenskih vaj na področjih, kot so civilna zaščita, odzivanje na incidente, biološka zaščita in ravnanje z odpadki, v okviru projektov centrov odličnosti, da bi okrepili prepoznavnost in konkretno ocenili njihov vpliv. Poleg tega je pobuda dovolj razvita, da omogoča nadaljnje ukrepe za reševanje vprašanj s področja upravljanja varnosti, povezanih s kibernetsko kriminaliteto, terorizmom, kritično infrastrukturo, ponarejenimi zdravili, hibridnimi grožnjami in eksplozivi, ter da nadalje razvija sodelovanje na področjih jedrske forenzike, mejnih kontrol in nadzora nad izvozom blaga z dvojno rabo. Model centrov odličnosti je pozdravilo tudi Evropsko računsko sodišče (15), Svet pa je 26. oktobra 2015 (16) sprejel sklepe v zvezi s tem. |

| 51. | Komisija je oktobra 2017 kot del širšega svežnja ukrepov za boj proti terorizmu predstavila akcijski načrt za izboljšanje pripravljenosti na tveganja na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti (KBRJ). V novem akcijskem načrtu, ki temelji na dosežkih akcijskega načrta EU na področju KBRJ za obdobje 2010–2015, je predlagan širok nabor ukrepov za izboljšanje pripravljenosti, odpornosti in usklajevanja na ravni EU. Predlagana je vzpostavitev ureditve KBRJ na ravni EU, ki bo bolj usmerjena v varnost, pri čemer je izpostavljeno, da je treba bolje uporabljati obstoječe vire in združiti obstoječe strokovno znanje. Akcijski načrt poziva tudi k okrepitvi pripravljenosti in odzivanja EU v zvezi s KBRJ s pomočjo čezmejnih in medsektorskih usposabljanj in vaj. Izpostavljeno je tudi, da je treba po potrebi vključiti mejne in carinske organe ter vojaške partnerje. V akcijskem načrtu je poleg tega poudarjen pomen tesnih povezav med notranjimi in zunanjimi varnostnimi dejavnostmi v zvezi s KBRJ, pa tudi sodelovanja s specializiranimi večstranskimi organizacijami, kot so IAEA, OPCW ali Interpol. Izvajanje akcijskega načrta se bo financiralo iz Sklada za notranjo varnost – Policija. |
