(2020/C 341/01)
INDLEDNING
|
1. |
Denne situationsrapport om gennemførelsen af Den Europæiske Unions strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben (WMD), som Det Europæiske Råd vedtog i december 2003 (dok. 15708/03), dækker de aktiviteter, der blev gennemført i 2019. Rapporten er ikkeudtømmende og fokuserer på de centrale udviklingstendenser. Alle aktiviteterne er iværksat inden for den bredere ramme af EU's sikkerhedspolitik og konfliktforebyggelse. |
|
2. |
Den Europæiske Unions ledende principper er baseret på den globale strategi for Den Europæiske Unions udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik (dok. 10715/16), Den Europæiske Unions strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og de nye EU-aktionslinjer (dok. 17172/08) og er fortsat:

EU-Udenrigstjenesten, navnlig den særlige udsending for ikkespredning og nedrustning, repræsenterede EU på en række centrale internationale møder i 2019:
Den særlige udsending fokuserede på:
|
|
4. |
Rådet for Den Europæiske Unions Ikkespredningsgruppe mødtes 11 gange i 2019, herunder på direktørniveau, for at drøfte EU's holdninger og fremtidige aktiviteter. EU's delegationer i Wien, Genève og New York udarbejdede og koordinerede en række EU-erklæringer til multilaterale fora og bidrog aktivt til den politiske beslutningsproces gennem regelmæssige EU-koordineringsmøder. |
NUKLEARE SPØRGSMÅL
|
5. |
EU er fortsat fuldt engageret i at fremme universaliseringen og en fuldstændig, komplet og effektiv gennemførelse af traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben (NPT), ikrafttrædelse af traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger (CTBT) og indledning og hurtig afslutning af forhandlingerne på nedrustningskonferencen om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer. Etablering af en zone uden masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler i Mellemøsten er også fortsat en EU-prioritet. I 2019 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/938 (1) for at tilvejebringe 2 856 278 EUR til UNIDIR til støtte for en proces med tillidsskabende foranstaltninger, der fører til oprettelse i Mellemøsten af en zone, som er fri for kernevåben og alle andre masseødelæggelsesvåben. |
Traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben og Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisation
|
6. |
NPT-gennemgangscyklussen fortsatte med det tredje møde i komitéen til forberedelse af gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 mellem parterne i NPT den 27. april til den 10. maj 2019 i New York. EU afgav fire erklæringer: en i den generelle debat og tre i debatterne om henholdsvis nuklear nedrustning, ikkespredning og fredelige formål. Der blev også fremsat en specifik erklæring til støtte for oprettelsen af en zone uden masseødelæggelsesvåben i Mellemøsten. EU tilrettelagde også et sideløbende arrangement og fremlagde et arbejdsdokument om sin vurdering af traktaten 50 år efter vedtagelsen. Alle EU's medlemsstater støttede erklæringen om imødegåelse af den nukleare udfordring fra Nordkorea. EU bidrog til alle relevante debatter, herunder den tematiske debat om kernevåben, på 74. møde i FN's Generalforsamlings 1. Komité om nedrustning og international sikkerhed. |
|
7. |
Desuden vedtog Rådet den 15. april 2019 en afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/615 (2) uden fortilfælde om at yde finansiel støtte til FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggenders tilrettelæggelse af tematiske og regionale konsultationer som forberedelse til gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 mellem parterne i NPT. Det overordnede mål med Rådets afgørelse er at bidrage til at fremme et vellykket resultat af NPT-gennemgangskonferencen og udarbejdelse af et realistisk og gennemførligt sæt tiltag og henstillinger, som der kan nås til enighed om. I henhold til denne rådsafgørelse tilrettelagde UNODA i 2019 to regionale seminarer, den 29.-30. august i Addis Abeba og den 3.-4. december i Bangkok, samt et tematisk seminar om anvendelse af kerneenergi til fredelige formål den 20.-21. november i Wien. De regionale møder omfattede alle tre NPT-søjler set i lyset af regionale prioriteter og bekymringer. Alle aktiviteterne søgte at fremhæve de mange fordele, der allerede er opnået med NPT, og behovet for at opretholde disse fordele. |
|
8. |
EU fortsatte med at støtte IAEA's centrale ansvar vedrørende ikkespredning, kerneenergi, nuklear sikkerhed, nuklear sikring og teknisk samarbejde. |
|
9. |
Med Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2016/2383 (3) bidrager EU til gennemførelsen af IAEA's nukleare sikkerhedsplan for 2018-2021. EU-finansiering fortsatte med at støtte IAEA-aktiviteter med henblik på: universalisering af internationale instrumenter vedrørende ikkespredning og nuklear sikkerhed, bistand til stater med at etablere den nationale tekniske, videnskabelige og menneskelige kapacitet inden for nuklear sikkerhed, styrkelse af forebyggelses-, afslørings- og reaktionskapaciteten og kapaciteten til at beskytte mennesker, ejendom, miljøet og samfundet mod kriminelle eller forsætlige uautoriserede handlinger, der omfatter nukleare eller andre radioaktive materialer uden for reguleringskontrol, forbedring af afsløring og imødegåelse af ulovlig handel med nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer, bidrag til computersikkerhed på det nukleare område, styrkelse af sikkerheden for radioaktive kilder og bringe dem til sikker oplagring i de lande, der har behov for støtte, herunder tilbageførsel til oprindelseslandet eller leverandøren, og forbedring af den fysiske beskyttelse af nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer. |
|
10. |
IAEA fortsatte med vellykket at gennemføre Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2016/2001 (4) af 15. november 2016 om et EU-bidrag til etablering og sikker forvaltning af en bank for lavt beriget uran (LEU) under Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisations (IAEA's) kontrol inden for rammerne af EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben. |
|
11. |
Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter (JRC) afsluttede i 2019 sin støtte til IAEA's database over hændelser og ulovlig handel (ITDB). |
|
12. |
I tilknytning til femte møde på højt embedsmandsplan mellem EU og IAEA (den 15. februar 2017) underskrev JRC og IAEA praktiske ordninger for samarbejde om anvendelser baseret på nuklearvidenskab, der skal tjene til at udvikle fælles aktiviteter og undgå dobbeltarbejde. En af de aktiviteter, der indgår i disse praktiske ordninger, er miljøovervågning af radioaktivitet, målt i hele Europa og en række andre globale lokaliteter i form af gennemsnitlig og maksimal gammadosishastighed for de seneste 24 timer. Disse målinger stammer fra ca. 5 500 målestationer, der drives af kompetente nationale myndigheder i 39 lande, som rapporterer om de seneste radiologiske værdier til den europæiske platform for udveksling af radiologiske data (EURDEP). Anmeldelse af et radiologisk uheld eller nødstilfælde sker gennem netværk til hurtig anmeldelse såsom Ecurie eller Emercon, der drives af henholdsvis Europa-Kommissionen og IAEA, efter høring af de kompetente nationale myndigheder. |
|
13. |
Den fælles omfattende handlingsplan er et centralt element i den globale arkitektur for nuklear ikkespredning og et resultat af multilateralt diplomati. Den fortsatte fulde og effektive gennemførelse af aftalen er af afgørende betydning for den europæiske sikkerhed. EU bidrager fortsat til gennemførelsen af den fælles omfattende handlingsplan ved at koordinere den fælles kommission og en række arbejdsgrupper på ekspertplan, der er nedsat i medfør af den fælles omfattende handlingsplan. EU støtter også fortsat fuldt ud IAEA's langsigtede mission om at verificere og overvåge Irans atomrelaterede tilsagn. EU har siden 2016 været engageret i gennemførelsen af bilag III til den fælles omfattende handlingsplan, navnlig via projekter til forbedring af den nukleare sikkerhed. 15 mio. EUR er allerede blevet bevilget til civilt nukleart samarbejde med Iran og tre aftalte projekter, der støtter både den iranske nukleare tilsynsmyndighed og operatøren af kernekraftværket ved Bushehr. Et nyt projekt blev godkendt i 2018 med et budget på 5 mio. EUR, som omfatter levering af laboratorieudstyr til tilsynsmyndighedens center for nuklear sikkerhed. Der forventes at blive indgået kontrakt om projektet i 2020. |
|
14. |
Det civile nukleare samarbejde med Iran er en vigtig søjle i den fælles omfattende handlingsplan og hjørnestenen i EU's engagement med Iran. Det bidrager til at få en bedre forståelse af Irans nukleare behov og gradvist opbygge tillid til den fredelige karakter af Irans atomprogram. Samarbejdet mellem EU og Iran i 2019 omfattede hyppige udvekslinger af synspunkter på højt plan om politikspørgsmål med særligt fokus på nuklear forvaltning, en fælles workshop om civilretligt nukleart ansvar og civilretlig nuklear forsikring, projekter, der støtter den iranske nukleare tilsynsmyndigheds bestræbelser på at tilpasse sig internationale standarder for love og administrative bestemmelser, samt oprettelse af et center for nuklear sikkerhed, der er udformet i et tidligere EU-finansieret projekt, deltagelse af iranske studerende i dekommissioneringssommerskolen og i en workshop om metrologi til affaldskarakterisering og -frigivelse i EU's Fælles Forskningscenter, den fælles workshop mellem EU og Iran om indberetning til den fælles konvention om brugt brændsel og radioaktivt affald, den fælles workshop mellem EU og Iran om nødberedskab og afværgeforanstaltninger i tilfælde af strålingsfare eller en nuklear nødsituation og projekter til støtte for moderniseringen af Arakforskningsreaktoren (Khondab) og omdannelse af Fordowanlægget til et center for nukleare spørgsmål, fysik og teknologi. Iran var fortsat EU's vigtigste støttemodtager inden for nuklear sikkerhed. |
|
15. |
Generelle aftaler om sikkerhedsforanstaltninger udgør sammen med tillægsprotokoller den nuværende verifikationsstandard, og EU opfordrer fortsat til universel tilslutning hertil. Det tætte samarbejde mellem Euratom og IAEA giver mulighed for effektive og virkningsfulde sikkerhedsforanstaltninger. EU støtter aktivt IAEA's kontrolsystem gennem Europa-Kommissionens program for støtte til sikkerhedskontrol, instrumentet for samarbejde om sikkerhed på det nukleare område og gennem medlemsstaternes støtteprogrammer. Europa-Kommissionens program for støtte til sikkerhedskontrol styrker IAEA's kapacitet til nuklear sikkerhedskontrol med henblik på verifikation af gennemførelsen af den fælles omfattende handlingsplan, også ved at uddanne IAEA-sikkerhedsinspektører i yderligere adgang og i anvendelse af Compucea (kombineret procedure for analyse af urankoncentration og -berigelse) med henblik på verifikation af uranhexafluoridberigelse. |
|
16. |
Europa-Kommissionen fortsætter med at drive og aktivt støtte European Safeguards Research and Development Association (ESARDA), som i 2019 fejrede sin 50-årsdag med et åbent symposium, som tiltrak 250 deltagere fra hele verden, der drøftede nuklear sikkerhedskontrol og ikkespredningsspørgsmål, hovedsagelig fra et videnskabeligt og teknisk synspunkt. ESARDA fortsætter også sin internationale outreach gennem sine aftalememoranda med Den Afrikanske Kommission for Kerneenergi og sikkerhedskontrolnetværket for Asien og Stillehavsområdet i tæt samarbejde med Institute for Nuclear Materials Management. ESARDA-arbejdsgrupper udvikler, afprøver og validerer innovative sikkerhedskontrol- og ikkespredningstilgange, der er direkte til gavn for GD for Energis direktorat for nuklear sikkerhedskontrol og Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisations sikkerhedskontrolafdeling. Forsknings- og udviklingsresultaterne og uddannelsesinitiativerne styrker den europæiske og internationale kapacitet inden for nuklear sikkerhedskontrol og strategisk handelskontrol og har også indvirkning på initiativer vedrørende nuklear sikkerhed og nuklear nedrustning. |
|
17. |
EU og dets medlemsstater lægger yderst stor vægt på den verdensomspændende gennemførelse og løbende forbedring af den nukleare sikkerhed. EU har givet retskraft til målene i Wienerklæringen om nuklear sikkerhed gennem det ændrede direktiv om nuklear sikkerhed, som trådte i kraft i 2017. Et centralt element i det ændrede direktiv er indførelsen af et sikkerhedsmål for alle operatører for at forebygge ulykker og undgå store udslip af radioaktive stoffer. De ændrede direktiver indførte også tematiske peerevalueringer i Euratomlovgivningen. Den første europæiske tematiske peerevaluering er allerede gennemført med vellykket resultat. Alle EU's medlemsstater har omsat de nye krav i deres nationale lovgivning. |
|
18. |
For at befordre anvendelsen af kerneenergi til fredelige formål har EU i perioden 2014-2020 bevilget 325 mio. EUR til fremme af nuklear sikkerhed, strålingsbeskyttelse og gennemførelse af effektive og virkningsfulde sikkerhedsforanstaltninger i tredjelande. Europa-Kommissionen støtter i samarbejde med IAEA og andre partnere gennemførelsen af den strategiske masterplan for udbedring af miljøskader i Centralasien, der skal finansieres fra den særlige konto for udbedring af miljøskader, som EBRD forvalter. Som en vigtig donor fortsætter EU med at nå ud til de begunstigede lande (Kirgisistan, Tadsjikistan og Usbekistan) for at fremme engagement og igangsætte konkrete oprydnings- og udbedringsprojekter. |
|
19. |
I juli 2019 blev den nye sikre indkapsling, som dækker den ødelagte reaktor 4 på kernekraftværket i Tjernobyl, officielt overdraget til Ukraine ved en ceremoni med præsident Volodymyr Zelenskij, hvilket afsluttede den mangeårige internationale indsats, der blev indledt af G7 for at gøre stedet miljømæssigt sikkert igen. EU har været den største donor til Tjernobyl-reaktorfonden efter Den Europæiske Bank for Genopbygning og Udvikling, som forvalter fonden. |
|
20. |
EU og dets medlemsstater er fortsat stærke tilhængere af IAEA's program for teknisk samarbejde, herunder gennem betydelige bidrag til fonden for teknisk samarbejde og initiativet om anvendelse til fredelige formål. EU og dets medlemsstater nogle af de største bidragydere til programmet for teknisk samarbejde, som er et vigtigt værktøj til at muliggøre en sikker og fredelig udnyttelse af nuklear teknologi og til at opfylde målene i 2030-dagsordenen for bæredygtig udvikling. |
|
21. |
EU og IAEA afholder et årligt møde på højt embedsmandsplan for at gennemgå og planlægge deres brede samarbejde. Det seneste møde blev afholdt af Europa-Kommissionen den 12. februar 2019 i Luxembourg. Drøftelserne fokuserede på en styrkelse af samarbejdet om nuklear sikkerhed, sikring, kontrol og nuklear forskning, innovation og uddannelse. |
Traktaten om et altomfattende forbud mod atomprøvesprængninger
|
22. |
Ikrafttrædelse og universel anvendelse af CTBT er vigtige målsætninger i EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben. Alle EU's medlemsstater har vist deres engagement i traktaten ved at ratificere den og ved at gennemføre de grundlæggende forpligtelser deri. CTBT er en stærk tillids- og sikkerhedsskabende foranstaltning. I 2019 foretog EU diplomatisk outreach til alle de resterende lande i og uden for bilag II. Formålet med EU's outreach var at anmode om tilsagn om ratifikation af CTBT. Fremme af CTBT's ikrafttrædelse er et af tiltagene i FN's generalsekretærs »Sikring af vores fælles fremtid — en dagsorden for nedrustning«, som EU har besluttet at støtte. |
|
23. |
EU fremmer konsekvent traktatens fordele og bidrag til fred, sikkerhed, nedrustning og ikkespredning, herunder i dens civile anvendelser. EU's finansielle støtte til CTBT-organisationens Forberedende Kommission (CTBTO) som anført i Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/298 (5) om EU-støtte til aktiviteter i Den Forberedende Kommission for CTBTO med henblik på at styrke dens overvågnings- og kontrolkapaciteter fortsatte. EU og dets medlemsstater bidrog også til opretholdelsen og styrkelsen af CTBT's kontrolordning gennem tilvejebringelse af teknisk støtte og rådgivning i CTBTO's arbejdsgruppe B og andre workshopper og seminarer. EU deltog aktivt i møderne i CTBT-organisationens Forberedende Kommission, dens arbejdsgrupper A og B. |
|
24. |
Efter indbydelse fra CTBTO's eksekutivsekretær deltog EU's højtstående repræsentant og næstformand i 11. konference om fremme af ikrafttrædelsen af CTBT i De Forenede Nationers hovedsæde den 25. september 2019 i New York, hvor hun fremsatte en vedtaget EU-erklæring. Den 25. juni afholdt EU's delegation i Wien i forbindelse med CTBT-konferencen vedrørende videnskab og teknologi et arrangement om samarbejde mellem EU og CTBTO. |
Initiativer vedrørende nuklear sikkerhed
|
25. |
EU fortsatte med at fremme den internationale konvention til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme (ICSANT) og ændringen til konventionen om fysisk beskyttelse af nukleare materialer (CPPNM) som grundlæggende elementer i den globale arkitektur for nuklear sikkerhed og bekæmpelse af terrorisme. FN's Kontor for Narkotikakontrol og Kriminalitetsbekæmpelse og FN's Kontor for Terrorbekæmpelse begyndte at gennemføre Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/1939 (6) om EU-støtte til universalisering og effektiv gennemførelse af ICSANT. Formålet med Rådets afgørelse er at øge antallet af deltagere i ICSANT, at skabe øget opmærksomhed blandt de nationale politiske beslutningstagere samt kapacitetsopbygning for at bidrage til at forbedre den nationale lovgivning og styrke de nationale interessenters kapacitet, herunder kapaciteten inden for efterforskning, retsforfølgning og afgørelse af sager om nuklear terrorisme for embedsmænd, der arbejder på det strafferetlige område. Gennemførelsen af Rådets afgørelse begyndte med et lanceringsarrangement afholdt i april 2019 i New York og i maj 2019 i Wien. |
|
26. |
EU fortsatte med at støtte det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme (GICNT) og dets mission om at styrke den globale kapacitet til at forebygge, afdække og reagere på nuklear terrorisme. EU og dets medlemsstater deltog i GICNT's 11. plenarmøde den 6.-7. juni 2019 i Buenos Aires. Følgende lande tilsluttede sig den vedtagne EU-erklæring: Tyrkiet, Nordmakedonien, Montenegro, Serbien og Albanien, Bosnien-Hercegovina, der er omfattet af stabiliserings- og associeringsprocessen og er potentielt kandidatland, og EFTA-landene Island og Norge, der er medlemmer af Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde, samt Ukraine, Republikken Moldova, Armenien og Georgien. |
|
27. |
EU og dets medlemsstater er aktivt involveret i arbejdet i GICNT på alle områder: nuklear detektion, nuklear kriminalteknik samt reaktion og risikobegrænsning. Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter var vært for »Cunning Karl« Nuclear Detection Reachback Support Workshop den 12.-14. februar 2019 i Karlsruhe, Tyskland, inden for rammerne af GICNT's Gruppe vedrørende Nuklear Detektion. På grundlag af resultaterne af Magic Maggiore Technical Reachback Workshop i 2017 fokuserede workshoppen på at indkredse den centrale kapacitet, der er forbundet med teknisk reachback, som udføres til støtte for detektionsoperationer, og undersøgte udfordringerne og bedste praksis med hensyn til at yde reachbackstøtte til fjerntliggende områder. Den 24.-25. februar 2019 var Finland vært for ekspertmødet i arbejdsgruppen vedrørende nuklear kriminalteknik, som drøftede gruppens arbejdsplan for 2019-2021. EU bidrog også til Nuclear Detection at Blue and Green Borders Workshop and Tabletop Exercise, som Kongeriget Marokko var vært for i december 2019. |
|
28. |
EU's uddannelsescenter for nuklear sikkerhed (EUSECTRA) med henblik på afsløring og imødegåelse af ulovlige handlinger, der omfatter nukleare og andre radioaktive materialer, har siden 2013 været fuldt operationelt til gavn for EU's medlemsstater og partnerlande, heriblandt en række medlemmer af det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme. Centret drives af Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter (JRC) i dets faciliteter i Karlsruhe (Tyskland) og Ispra (Italien) i tæt samarbejde med andre internationale initiativer, som støttes af Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisation og flere af partnerlandene i det globale initiativ til bekæmpelse af nuklear terrorisme. Centret anvendes også til praktiske øvelser, navnlig vedrørende bekæmpelse af smugling af nukleart materiale. EUSECTRA er aktivt med hensyn til at imødekomme uddannelsesbehovene i EU's medlemsstater og blandt EU's partnere, herunder højt værdsatte koordinerede kurser for medlemsstaternes delegerede på told- og retshåndhævelsesområdet, der allerede er gennemført og planlagt for 2019-2021 (i direkte samarbejde med Europa-Kommissionens GD HOME og GD TAXUD), og sørger også for vurdering af udstyrets præstationer på anmodning af EU-medlemsstater. I 2019 blev der afholdt 14 kurser af en uges varighed og yderligere to workshopper med eksperter fra EU's medlemsstater. |
|
29. |
Europa-Kommissionen og EU's medlemsstater fortsatte deres nukleare kriminaltekniske aktiviteter vedrørende den grundlæggende karakterisering af beslaglagt nukleart materiale ved hjælp af en avanceret nuklear kriminalteknisk undersøgelse på JRC i Karlsruhe (Tyskland). I 2019 blev prøver fra tre hændelser i to EU-medlemsstater analyseret. Samlet set er fundet og beslaglagt nukleart materiale i mere end 50 tilfælde blevet undersøgt, hvorved der er ydet støtte til kompetente myndigheder i og uden for EU's medlemsstater. |
Initiativer vedrørende nuklear verifikation
|
30. |
EU og dets medlemsstater støttede FN's Generalforsamlings resolution fra 2019 om nuklear nedrustningsverifikation om nedsættelse af anden gruppe af regeringseksperter, som skal fortsætte med at drøfte verifikations betydning for fremme af nuklear nedrustning. EU støtter bredere partnerskabers arbejde og samarbejdsbaserede verifikationsordninger og har deltaget i arbejdet i International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV), siden det blev indledt i 2015. Det aktive engagement fra EU's side er blevet fortsat i IPNDV's fase II med EU (EU-Udenrigstjenesten og Europa-Kommissionens Fælles Forskningscenter) som deltagere i arbejdsgruppernes møder den 4.-6. marts 2019 i Helsingfors og den 19.-21. juni 2019 i Haag samt plenarmødet den 2.-6. december 2019 i Ottawa. Omfattende støtte til FN's gruppe af regeringseksperter vedrørende verifikation af nuklear nedrustning og gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 vedrørende traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben er fastlagt som hovedmål. EU blev desuden tilhænger af handlingspunktet vedrørende verifikation af nuklear nedrustning i FN's generalsekretærs »Sikring af vores fælles fremtid — en dagsorden for nedrustning«. |
Regionale spørgsmål
|
31. |
EU og dets medlemsstater fortsatte med indtrængende at opfordre Nordkorea til at gøre fremskridt i retning af at opgive sine programmer for masseødelæggelsesvåben og ballistiske missiler på en fuldstændig, kontrollerbar og uigenkaldelig måde. Dette blev afspejlet i alle relevante EU-erklæringer. EU's holdning var fortsat, at de gentagne affyringer af ballistiske missiler, som Den Demokratiske Folkerepublik Korea (Nordkorea) foretager i strid med adskillige resolutioner fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd, udgør en alvorlig trussel mod regional og international fred og sikkerhed og undergraver de igangværende internationale bestræbelser på at skabe varig fred og sikkerhed på Den Koreanske Halvø. EU opfordrede Nordkorea til straks at indstille alle sine affyringer, indgå i meningsfulde forhandlinger og tage konkrete og troværdige skridt til at opbygge tillid og tryghed og opgive alle sine programmer for kernevåben og ballistiske missiler på en fuldstændig, kontrollerbar og uigenkaldelig måde. EU opfordrede fortsat indtrængende Nordkorea til fuldt ud at overholde alle relevante resolutioner fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd og opfylde sine øvrige internationale forpligtelser og tilsagn, til uden tøven at undertegne og ratificere CTBT og til at vende tilbage til opfyldelse af sine sikkerhedskontrolforpligtelser i henhold til NPT. EU har hurtigt gennemført alle Sikkerhedsrådets resolutioner i EU-lovgivningen og har desuden vedtaget strenge autonome sanktioner, som supplerer og styrker de sanktioner, der er vedtaget af FN. Erklæringer fra EU-Udenrigstjenestens talsperson blev udsendt den 10. august efter affyringen af to kortrækkende ballistiske missiler og den 2. oktober efter affyringen af et angiveligt ballistisk missil til søs. |
Nedrustningskonferencen (CD)/traktaten om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer
|
32. |
EU er fortsat forenet og engageret i kontrollerbar traktatbaseret kontrol af nuklear nedrustning og våbenkontrol og understreger behovet for at forny de multilaterale bestræbelser og reaktivere de multilaterale forhandlingsorganer, navnlig nedrustningskonferencen (CD). Det har længe været en prioritet for EU på nedrustningskonferencen omgående at indlede forhandlinger om en traktat om forbud mod produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben eller andre nukleare sprænglegemer (FMCT). EU støtter indledning af sådanne forhandlinger i overensstemmelse med dokument CD/1299 og det deri indeholdte mandat. EU opfordrer alle CD-medlemmer til straks at indlede forhandlinger om en FMCT og begynde at arbejde med de øvrige spørgsmål på dagsordenen. Med Rådets afgørelse (EU) 2017/2284 (7) af 11. december 2017 yder EU finansiel støtte til FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggender (UNODA) for at lette de afrikanske, asiatiske, latinamerikanske og caribiske landes deltagelse i FMCT-relaterede høringer og andre aktiviteter. EU opfordrer også alle lande, der råder over kernevåben, til at erklære og opretholde et øjeblikkeligt moratorium for produktion af fissilt materiale til fremstilling af kernevåben og andre nukleare sprænglegemer, hvis de ikke allerede har gjort det. Den EU-medlemsstat, der er en atomvåbenstat, har erklæret relevante moratorier og nedlagt sådanne anlæg. |
KEMISKE VÅBEN
|
33. |
EU fortsatte med politisk, diplomatisk og finansielt at støtte Organisationen for Forbud mod Kemiske Våben (OPCW) for at sikre fuld og effektiv gennemførelse af og universel tilslutning til konventionen om kemiske våben (CWC). |

EU fastholdt sin stærke støtte til arbejdet i OPCW's undersøgelsesmission og holdet, der undersøger opgørelserne (DAT), for så vidt angår undersøgelsen af rapporter om brug af kemiske våben i Syrien og bestræbelserne på at finde en løsning på de konstaterede mangler og uoverensstemmelser i den oprindelige syriske erklæring. I denne forbindelse vedtog Rådet den 9. december 2019 afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/2112 (11) om forlængelse af gennemførelsesperioden for afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/2303 (12) til støtte for den fortsatte gennemførelse af FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 2118 (2013) og OPCW-Eksekutivrådets afgørelse EC-M-33/DEC.1 om destruktion af Syriens kemiske våben gennem levering af satellitbilleder til støtte for OPCW's operationer i Syrien. |
|
37. |
I overensstemmelse med Det Europæiske Råds konklusioner af 28. juni 2018, som forpligtede EU til at støtte gennemførelsen af afgørelse C-SS-4/DEC.3 fra den særlige samling i Konferencen af Deltagende Stater i konventionen om kemiske våben af 27. juni 2018 om at oprette en mekanisme til ansvarsplacering som reaktion på den gentagne brug af disse våben siden 2012 og med henblik på at sikre vedtagelsen af udkastet til OPCW's program og budget for 2020, der giver Det Tekniske Sekretariat under OPCW et fast og solidt grundlag til at klare de mange opgaver og udfordringer, der ligger forude, foretog EU en demarche over for en lang række stater, der er parter i CWC, og anmodede dem om at anlægge en konstruktiv tilgang til gennemførelsen af OPCW's afgørelse C-SS-4/DEC og støtte et vellykket resultat af den 24. konference af deltagende stater (CSP-24), der blev afholdt den 25.-29. november 2019. |

Gennem Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/1252 (13) af 11. juli 2017 om støtte til styrkelsen af kemisk sikkerhed i Ukraine i overensstemmelse med gennemførelsen af De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om ikkespredningen af masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler støttede EU national kapacitetsopbygning i Ukraine og navnlig oprettelse af Ukraines nationale referencecenter med henblik på at identificere kontrollerede og giftige kemikalier. |
|
39. |
Den 14. oktober 2019 forlængede EU ved Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/1722 (14) med yderligere 12 måneder sin ordning for restriktive foranstaltninger for at imødegå anvendelse og udbredelse af kemiske våben. |
BIOLOGISKE VÅBEN
|
40. |
Den 21. januar 2019 vedtog EU-Rådet for femte gang i træk en afgørelse til støtte for konventionen om forbud mod biologiske våben og toksinvåben. I Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/97 (15) fastsættes et beløb på 3 mio. EUR til FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggender (UNODA) for perioden 2019-22. Dette gør det muligt for støtteenheden (ISU) for gennemførelse af BTWC at fremme seks nye projekter til støtte for universel anvendelse, opbygge kapacitet med henblik på national gennemførelse, herunder tre peerevalueringer, fremme biosikkerheden i det globale syd, udvikle redskaber til outreach, uddannelse og engagement og øge beredskabet til at reagere på biologiske angreb. I 2019 blev der finansieret tre workshopper og to andre arrangementer i henhold til denne afgørelse. Blandt disse workshopper var den første af sin slags med titlen »Engaging Young Scientists from the Global South in BioSecurity Diplomacy«, som blev afholdt den 3.-5. august 2019 i nærheden af Genève. På workshoppen samledes ca. 20 unge videnskabsfolk fra udviklingslande, der beskæftiger sig med BTWC-relaterede emner. Afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/97 vil også støtte programmet for perioden mellem konferencerne og til forberedelserne til niende BTWC-gennemgangskonference i 2021. |
|
41. |
Den 31. juli 2019 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/1296 (16) om støtte til styrkelsen af biologisk sikkerhed og sikring i Ukraine i overensstemmelse med gennemførelsen af De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler. I henhold til denne afgørelse skal der ydes 1,9 mio. EUR i støtte over tre år. Med denne afgørelse støtter EU styrkelsen af biologisk sikkerhed og sikring i Ukraine, navnlig ved at forbedre Ukraines lovgivnings- og reguleringsgrundlag og dets sundhedssystemer for mennesker og dyr samt ved at skabe øget bevidsthed hos biovidenskabelige forskere. |
|
42. |
Den 9. december 2019 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2019/2108 (17) om støtte til styrkelsen af biologisk sikkerhed og sikring i Ukraine i overensstemmelse med gennemførelsen af De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler, hvori der fastsættes et beløb på 2,7 mio. EUR over tre år. |
|
43. |
Med ovennævnte rådsafgørelser er EU's samlede finansielle støtte til BTWC siden 2006 dermed steget til næsten 15 mio. EUR. |
|
44. |
På mødet mellem de stater, der er parter i konventionen, og som blev afholdt den 3.-6. december 2019 i Genève, afgav EU en generel erklæring. EU, som bekræftede sin stærke støtte til BTWC som en central søjle i det regelbaserede internationale system, mindede om sine bestræbelser på at styrke konventionen, fremme dens universelle anvendelse og styrke dens gennemførelse. EU's prioriteter i forbindelse med BTWC er bl.a. at styrke national gennemførelse og overholdelse, fremme tillidsskabende foranstaltninger og gennemsigtighedsforanstaltninger såsom peerevalueringer, frivillige besøg og andre initiativer, lette samarbejdet om videnskab og teknologi, operationalisere artikel V's rådgivende bestemmelser og artikel VII's bestemmelser om bistand, reaktion og beredskab, fremme universel tilslutning til konventionen samt ligestilling mellem kønnene og styrkelse af kvinders indflydelse og status som en vigtig tværgående prioritet. EU gav desuden udtryk for sine fortsatte betænkeligheder ved den kritiske finansielle situationen for så vidt angår konventionen og opfordrede kraftigt alle stater, der endnu ikke har gjort det, til at opfylde deres finansielle forpligtelser hurtigst muligt. I denne forbindelse mindede EU om, at formålet med driftskapitalfonden, som blev oprettet i 2018, er at tilvejebringe kortfristet finansiel likviditet i begyndelsen af kalenderåret og på ingen måde at yde tilskud til manglende betalinger eller restancer. Med hensyn til aktiviteter fremhævede EU resultaterne af det samarbejde, der er udviklet inden for rammerne af EU-Rådets afgørelse om støtte til BTWC og initiativet vedrørende EU's ekspertisecentre for CBRN-risikobegrænsning. På et EU-støttet sideløbende arrangement den 4. december 2019 blev der redegjort for aktiviteter vedrørende biosikkerhed i Kaukasus inden for rammerne af initiativet vedrørende CBRN-ekspertisecentre. |
|
45. |
EU deltog også aktivt i de fem ekspertmøder, der fandt sted fra den 29. juli til den 8. august 2019 i Genève, nemlig ekspertmødet (MX1) om samarbejde og bistand med særligt fokus på at styrke samarbejde og bistand i henhold til artikel X (29.-30. juli), ekspertmødet (MX2) om gennemgang af udviklingen inden for videnskab og teknologi i forbindelse med konventionen (31. juli og 2. august), ekspertmødet (MX3) om styrkelse af den nationale gennemførelse (5. august 2019), ekspertmødet (MX4) om bistand, reaktion og beredskab (6.-7. august 2019) og ekspertmødet (MX5) om institutionel styrkelse af konventionen (8. august 2019). EU leverede velfokuserede og ajourførte nøglebudskaber på alle ekspertmøderne og talte i det sideløbende arrangement, som Frankrig var vært for, om frivillige gennemsigtighedsforanstaltninger, der fremmer en mere struktureret udveksling af oplysninger om peerevalueringer. EU fokuserede på oplysningskampagner blandt fagfolk inden for videnskab og teknologi gennem e-læringsmoduler og finansiering af interessentseminarer. I samme forbindelse støttede EU Rådets nye afgørelse til støtte for universalisering og gennemførelse af konventionen. |
BALLISTISKE MISSILER
Haagadfærdskodeksen
|
46. |
Haagadfærdskodeksen mod spredning af ballistiske missiler (HCoC) er resultatet af det internationale samfunds bestræbelser på at regulere området for ballistiske missiler, der kan fremføre masseødelæggelsesvåben. HCoC er det eneste multilaterale gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende instrument i forbindelse med spredning af ballistiske missiler. Ved at tilslutte sig HCoC forpligter medlemmer sig frivilligt og politisk til at give forhåndsmeddelelse om affyring af ballistiske missiler og opsendelse af løfteraketter til rumfartøjer samt prøveflyvninger. De deltagende lande forpligter sig også til at forelægge en årlig erklæring om deres lands politik med hensyn til ballistiske missiler og løfteraketter til rumfartøjer. |
|
47. |
EU har fra starten støttet kodeksen kraftigt. Alle EU's medlemsstater har tilsluttet sig kodeksen. Siden undertegnelsen og ikrafttrædelsen af den politisk bindende HCoC i november 2002 i Haag, Nederlandene, er antallet af signatarer steget fra 93 til 143. Dette skyldes også diplomatisk outreach til støtte for kodeksens universalisering, som EU gennemførte til en række ikkedeltagende stater. |
|
48. |
EU fremmer konsekvent kodeksens universalisering, fulde gennemførelse og forbedrede funktionsmåde. I det seneste årti har EU-Rådet inden for rammerne af FUSP vedtaget en række afgørelser/fælles aktioner, der støtter Haagadfærdskodeksen og ikkespredning af missiler generelt. Gennem disse rådsafgørelser finansierer EU HCoC-outreachaktiviteter, herunder sideløbende arrangementer, forskningsdokumenter, ekspertmøder og regionale bevidsthedsskabende seminarer. Disse aktiviteter udføres af Fondation pour la recherche stratégique i Paris (FRS), hvor også den til enhver tid siddende formand for HCoC normalt deltager. |
|
49. |
Med Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/2370 (18) af 18. december 2017 fortsætter EU med at fremme tilslutningen til kodeksen og i sidste ende dens universelle anvendelse, støtte fuld gennemførelse af kodeksen, fremme dialog mellem deltagende og ikkedeltagende stater med henblik på at opbygge tillid og gennemsigtighed, tilskynde til tilbageholdenhed og skabe mere stabilitet og sikkerhed for alle, styrke kodeksens synlighed og øge offentlighedens bevidsthed om risiciene og truslerne ved spredning af ballistiske missiler samt navnlig gennem akademiske studier undersøge mulighederne for at styrke kodeksen og fremme samarbejdet mellem kodeksen og andre relevante multilaterale instrumenter. |
FN'S SIKKERHEDSRÅDS RESOLUTION 1540 OG CBRN-RISIKOBEGRÆNSNING
|
50. |
FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) er fortsat en central del af den internationale ikkespredningsarkitektur. Den er det første internationale instrument, der på en integreret og samlet måde omhandler masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler og dertil knyttet materiel. FN's Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) indfører bindende forpligtelser for alle lande. Disse skal forhindre ikkestatslige aktører i og afskrække dem fra at tilegne sig sådanne våben, disses fremføringsmidler og relateret materiel. Resolutionen blev vedtaget i henhold til kapitel VII i De Forenede Nationers pagt og forpligter alle lande til at vedtage den nødvendige lovgivning, som forhindrer ikkestatslige aktører i at få nukleare, kemiske eller biologiske våben, og til at indføre passende national kontrol med relaterede materialer for at hindre ulovlig handel hermed. Den samlede gennemgang i 2016 af UNSCR 1540 understregede på ny, at den er central, vigtig og gyldig som afspejlet i UNSCR 2325. |
|
51. |
For at bidrage til gennemførelsen af resultaterne af den samlede gennemgang i 2016 og støtte den fuldstændige gennemførelse af UNSCR 1540 vedtog Rådet den 11. maj 2017 Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/809 (19) om støtte til gennemførelsen af De Forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråds resolution 1540 (2004) om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og disses fremføringsmidler. Rådets afgørelse dækker en periode på 36 måneder og gennemføres af FN's Kontor for Nedrustningsanliggender (UNODA) i New York, som har udliciteret noget af gennemførelsen til OSCE i Wien. EU-finansieringen bidrager til at bistå landene med at identificere specifik teknisk bistand, øge kendskabet til relevante programmer for teknisk bistand og styrke samarbejdet med internationale og regionale organisationer for at støtte den nationale kapacitetsopbygningsindsats. |
|
52. |
Initiativet vedrørende EU's CBRN-ekspertisecentre til risikobegrænsning (»initiativet«) er et verdensomspændende program for kapacitetsopbygning, som for øjeblikket samler 61 partnerlande grupperet om otte regionale sekretariater i følgende regioner: Afrikas Atlanterhavskyst, Centralasien, Øst- og Centralafrika, landene i Golfstaternes Samarbejdsråd, Mellemøsten, Nordafrika og Sahel, Sydøstasien, Sydøst- og Østeuropa. |
|
53. |
CBRN-ekspertisecentrene finansieres under instrumentet, der bidrager til stabilitet og fred, og har til formål at begrænse risici i forbindelse med CBRN-materialer, styrke partnerlandenes beredskab og fremme sikkerhedskultur og sikkerhedsforvaltning. De deltagende lande støttes i deres bestræbelser på frivilligt og efter en efterspørgselsdrevet regional tilgang at etablere nationale og regionale koordinerings- og forvaltningsstrukturer. Disse platforme udvikler og styrker nationale CBRN-politikker og opbygger kapacitet baseret på specifikke behovsvurderinger og nationale handlingsplaner. De støttes gennem flere regionale samarbejdsprojekter, der finansieres under initiativet og er åbne over for andre finansieringsinstrumenter. Siden 2010 er 82 regionale projekter blevet finansieret. Initiativets budget for den tiårsperiode, der begynder i 2010, beløber sig til ca. 250 mio. EUR. |
|
54. |
Netværket af ekspertisecentre er nu veludviklet og har gjort det muligt for EU at gennemføre grænseoverskridende skrivebords- og feltøvelser om spørgsmål som civilbeskyttelse, reaktion på hændelser, biosikring og affaldshåndtering inden for rammerne af ekspertisecenterprojekter for at forbedre synligheden og konkret vurdere deres virkning. Man har påbegyndt udarbejdelsen af regionale CBRN-handlingsplaner og tværregionalt samarbejde. Desuden er initiativet tilstrækkelig udviklet til at støtte yderligere tiltag til løsning af sikkerhedsforvaltningsspørgsmål i forbindelse med cyberkriminalitet, terrorisme, kritiske infrastrukturer, forfalskede lægemidler, hybride trusler og sprængstoffer samt videreudvikle samarbejdet om nuklear kriminalteknik, grænsekontrol og kontrol med udførsel af produkter med dobbelt anvendelse. Inden for rammerne af EU's netværk af CBRN-ekspertisecentre udviklede EU's fælles forskningscenter i samarbejde med det amerikanske energiministerium og Kievinstituttet for nuklear forskning i 2019 uddannelsesaktiviteter inden for nuklear sikkerhed for deltagere fra Georgien, Ukraine, Aserbajdsjan og Moldova med henblik på at forbedre den nukleare sikkerhed i Sortehavsområdet. |
|
55. |
Gennemførelsen af handlingsplanen til forbedring af beredskabet over for kemiske, biologiske, radiologiske og nukleare sikkerhedsrisici, som Kommissionen forelagde i oktober 2017 som led i en bredere terrorbekæmpelsespakke, er fortsat. Den aktuelle handlingsplan, der bygger på resultaterne af EU's CBRN-handlingsplan 2010-2015, indførte en lang række foranstaltninger til forbedring af beredskabet, modstandsdygtigheden og samordningen på EU-plan. Den foreslår, at der oprettes en mere sikkerhedsorienteret CBRN-arkitektur på EU-plan, idet det understreges, at det er vigtigt at anvende de eksisterende ressourcer bedre og samle eksisterende ekspertise. Handlingsplanen opfordrer også til at styrke EU's CBRN-beredskab og -indsats gennem grænseoverskridende og tværsektoriel uddannelse og øvelser. Den understreger behovet for, når det er relevant, at inddrage grænse- og toldmyndigheder og militære partnere. Handlingsplanen understreger også betydningen af tætte forbindelser mellem interne og eksterne sikkerhedsrelaterede CBRN-aktiviteter samt samarbejde med specialiserede multilaterale organisationer som IAEA, OPCW eller INTERPOL. Gennemførelsen af handlingsplanen er blevet støttet finansielt gennem Fonden for Intern Sikkerhed (politidelen). |
|
56. |
CBRN-handlingsplanen har modtaget videnskabelig og teknisk støtte fra en række forskningsprojekter, der finansieres af programmet Sikre samfund under det syvende rammeprogram. Forskningen dækker hele krisestyringscyklussen fra forebyggelse til genopretning. Aktiviteter med henblik på at identificere standardiseringsbehov kan føre til europæiske standarder. Horisont 2020-programmet skal styrke det igangværende arbejde inden for CBRN-forskning gennem fokusområder. |
TÆNKETANKE
|
57. |
På grundlag af Rådets afgørelse 2010/430/FUSP (20) af 26. juli 2010 er gennemførelsen af EU's strategi mod spredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben blevet støttet aktivt af EU's konsortium for ikkespredning og nedrustning, der indledte sine aktiviteter i januar 2011. Den 26. februar 2018 vedtog Rådet afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/299 (21), som yderligere forlænger EU's støtte til konsortiets aktiviteter for perioden 2018-2021 ved at bygge på de resultater, der hidtil er opnået, og ved at tilføje nye projekter. |
|
58. |
Konsortiets aktiviteter øgede EU's synlighed over for tredjelande og civilsamfundet og bidrog væsentligt til EU's politikudformning inden for ikkespredning og nedrustning. Konsortiet udgør en platform for uformelle kontakter blandt aktørerne og fremmer dialogen mellem forskellige interessenter. Dets aktiviteter har bidraget til at øge bevidstheden om de udfordringer, som masseødelæggelsesvåben og konventionelle våben skaber, og undersøgt mulighederne for, hvordan disse udfordringer skal tackles. Det trækker på et omfattende netværk bestående af 90 tænketanke og forskningscentre i hele Europa, herunder medlemmer fra alle EU-medlemsstater samt fra partnerlande såsom Schweiz og Ukraine. 14 institutter tilsluttede sig netværket i 2019. |
|
59. |
Alle de begivenheder, som konsortiet har indkaldt til, har sikret mangfoldigheden blandt deltagere og talere med hensyn til køn, alder, ekspertise og geografisk repræsentation. Mere specifikt tilrettelagde konsortiet i 2019 følgende aktiviteter til gennemførelse af Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/299:
|
|
60. |
Konsortiet udgav et månedligt nyhedsbrev samt fem EU-ikkesprednings- og nedrustningsdokumenter i løbet af 2019 (22). Uddannelsesaktiviteterne omfattede et onlinekursus om ikkespredning og nedrustning og EU-politikker samt støtte til 36 ikkesprednings- og nedrustningspraktikophold i europæiske tænketanke i perioden 2018-2021 i henhold til Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/299 af 26. februar 2018. |
EKSPORTKONTROL
|
61. |
I 2019 afsluttede COARM sin revision af fælles holdning 2008/944/FUSP (23) om kontrol med våbeneksport. Rådet vedtog en afgørelse om ændring af Rådets fælles holdning samt en revideret brugervejledning. Det vedtog også konklusioner om revisionen af den fælles holdning. |
|
62. |
Rådets afgørelse tager højde for udviklingen på en række områder på både EU-plan og internationalt plan, som har medført nye forpligtelser og tilsagn for medlemsstaterne siden vedtagelsen af den fælles holdning fra 2008. Denne udvikling omfatter navnlig ikrafttrædelsen af våbenhandelstraktaten (ATT) den 24. december 2014, der regulerer den internationale handel med konventionelle våben. Alle medlemsstaterne er parter i ATT. Formålet med ATT er at fastsætte de højest mulige fælles internationale standarder for regulering eller forbedring af reguleringen af den internationale handel med konventionelle våben, at forebygge og udrydde ulovlig handel med konventionelle våben og at forebygge omdirigering heraf. |
|
63. |
Rådet minder i sine konklusioner om sit tilsagn om at styrke kontrollen med eksport af militærteknologi og -udstyr og styrke samarbejdet og konvergensen i forbindelse med eksport af militærteknologi og -udstyr. Det gør det ved fastsættelse, opretholdelse og gennemførelse af høje fælles standarder for alle medlemsstaters forvaltning af overførsel af militærteknologi og -udstyr. |
|
64. |
I 2019 fortsatte EU også sine outreachaktiviteter for at støtte tredjelande i oprettelsen af et system til kontrol med våbeneksport og fremme universaliseringen af ATT. I henhold til Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2018/101 (24) af 22. januar 2018, som gennemføres af den tyske økonomi- og eksportkontrolstyrelse (BAFA), fandt der en række regionale workshopper, studiebesøg og individuelle bistandsarrangementer sted. Desuden blev der gennemført yderligere regionale outreachaktiviteter, skræddersyede nationale bistandsprogrammer og ad hoc-workshopper om individuel bistand i henhold til Rådets afgørelse (FUSP) 2017/915 (25) gennemført af BAFA og Expertise France til støtte for effektiv gennemførelse og universalisering af våbenhandelstraktaten. |
|
65. |
I 2018 og 2019 blev der holdt politiske dialogmøder med Norge, Canada, USA og Ukraine om spørgsmål vedrørende våbeneksportkontrol. Disse politiske dialoger var et forum for frugtbare drøftelser om spørgsmål af fælles interesse såsom eksportpolitikker for specifikke bestemmelseslande, spørgsmål vedrørende overholdelse og kontrol og processen i forbindelse med våbenhandelstraktaten. |
|
66. |
I 2019 fortsatte EU med regelmæssigt at ajourføre sine forordninger, så de afspejler udviklingen i de multilaterale eksportkontrolordninger. Europa-Kommissionen vedtog således den 17. oktober 2019 en delegeret forordning (EU) 2019/2199 (26), der ajourfører EU's kontrolliste i overensstemmelse med afgørelser truffet i multilaterale eksportkontrolordninger i 2018, og indførte ny kontrol af f.eks. løftefartøjer til rumfartøjer, MMIC-forstærkere, diskrete mikrobølgetransistorer og ubemandede undervandsfartøjer. |
|
67. |
Koordinationsgruppen for Produkter med Dobbelt Anvendelse fortsatte med at støtte effektiv og konsekvent gennemførelse af eksportkontroller i EU. Der blev indført nye funktioner i det elektroniske system vedrørende dobbelt anvendelse, hvilket forbedrede udvekslingen af tekniske oplysninger inden for EU. EU afsluttede processen med at fastlægge retningslinjer for industriens overholdelse med vedtagelsen af Kommissionens henstilling (EU) 2019/1318 (27) af 30. juli 2019. EU gjorde også fremskridt med udviklingen af en »platform til elektroniske tilladelser«, der skal anvendes af de kompetente myndigheder på frivillig basis. Der blev offentliggjort en årsrapport (28) for at sikre gennemsigtighed vedrørende eksportkontrol og anvendelse af licenser, og der blev organiseret et eksportkontrolforum den 13. december 2019 med deltagelse af interessenter fra medlemsstaterne, industrien og civilsamfundet (29). |
|
68. |
Gennemgangen af EU's eksportkontrolpolitik fortsatte. Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet drøftede aktivt Kommissionens forslag om at modernisere eksportkontrol med produkter med dobbelt anvendelse. I juni 2019 vedtog Rådet et mandat til forhandlinger med Europa-Parlamentet, og trepartsforhandlingerne mellem EU-lovgiverne blev indledt i efteråret. |
|
69. |
EU's holdninger og erklæringer blev i nødvendigt omfang koordineret som forberedelse til de relevante møder i eksportkontrolordningerne: plenarmødet i Gruppen af Leverandører af Nukleart Materiale i Nur-Sultan (den 20.-21. juni 2019), plenarmødet i Australiengruppen i Paris (den 3.-7. juni 2019) og missilteknologikontrolregimet i Auckland (7.-11. oktober 2019). |
|
70. |
Missilteknologikontrolregimet (MTCR) er en uformel og frivillig sammenslutning af lande, der deler målene om ikkespredning af ubemandede fremføringsmidler, der kan fremføre masseødelæggelsesvåben, og som søger at koordinere de nationale bestræbelser for så vidt angår eksporttilladelser med henblik på at forhindre spredning heraf. De regeringer, der deltager i MTCR, har forpligtet sig til at bakke op om de fælles eksportpolitiske retningslinjer (MTCR's retningslinjer), der gælder for en integreret fælles liste over kontrollerede produkter (bilaget om MTCR-udstyr, -software og -teknologi). MTCR-partnerne udveksler regelmæssigt oplysninger om relevante nationale spørgsmål vedrørende eksporttilladelser. MTCR's retningslinjer og kontrollister udgør et internationalt benchmark for bedste praksis for kontrol af eksporten af missilrelaterede produkter og teknologier. |
|
71. |
Det er fortsat et væsentligt spørgsmål for EU i forbindelse med MTCR, at Kroatien, Cypern, Estland, Letland, Litauen, Malta, Rumænien, Slovakiet og Slovenien er afskåret fra at tilslutte sig regimet. Kontinuitet og forudsigelighed i formandskabet af eksportkontrolordninger som MTCR er afgørende for disse ordningers funktion og troværdighed. I oktober 2019 indsendte de EU-medlemsstater, der er medlemmer af MTCR, et uformelt dokument »om formandskabsspørgsmål« til behandling på plenarmødet, hvor det blev undersøgt, hvilke muligheder der er for at fremme og støtte et bæredygtigt formandskab for regimet. EU vil fortsætte drøftelserne med medlemmerne om de forskellige muligheder. I forbindelse med regimet har EU altid støttet vedtagelsen af stærke offentlige erklæringer fra MTCR for at afspejle den internationale bekymring over Irans og Nordkoreas affyringer af ballistiske missiler og betydelige udvikling af missilteknologi. |

Gennemførelsen af EU's P2P-eksportkontrolprogram til styrkelse af effektiviteten af kontrolsystemer for udførsel af produkter med dobbelt anvendelse og hermed forbundne materialer, udstyr og teknologier fortsatte i seks regioner. I 2019 blev programmet udvidet med henblik på at muliggøre samarbejde med Irak, og det omfatter i øjeblikket 37 lande i alt, herunder fra de målrettede initiativer på eksportkontrolområdet med Ukraines videnskabs- og teknologicenter og Det Internationale Videnskabs- og Teknologicenter i Kasakhstan, som omfatter 13 lande. |
|
73. |
Den intensive koordinering af EU's P2P-eksportkontrolprogram med det amerikanske udenrigsministeriums program for eksportkontrol og tilknyttet grænsesikkerhed fortsatte. Der blev tilrettelagt fælles seminarer for EU og USA for at udveksle trusselsvurderingsmetoder, fastlægge fælles effektindikatorer og koordinere bistanden i marken. I august 2019 organiserede EU i Finland det årlige EU-P2P-sommeruniversitetsforløb om strategisk handelskontrol for partnerlande i EU's P2P-eksportkontrolprogram. EU's P2P-portal blev overført til Den Europæiske Unions officielle webmiljø (https://europa.eu/cbrn-risk-mitigation/eu-p2p_en), og den visuelle og indholdsmæssige opgradering vil blive afsluttet i 2020. Den vil fortsat fungere som en platform for alle EU's outreachprogrammer vedrørende eksportkontrol af produkter med militære formål og produkter med dobbelt anvendelse med det formål at tilpasse udvekslingen af oplysninger med EU's partnerlande. Programmet finansieres under instrumentet, der bidrager til stabilitet og fred. |
RUMMET
|
74. |
EU og dets medlemsstater fortsatte med at fremme bevarelsen af et sikkert og bæredygtigt rummiljø og en fredelig udnyttelse af det ydre rum på et retfærdigt og gensidigt acceptabelt grundlag. Vi fortsatte med at understrege betydningen af gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende foranstaltninger og behovet for at slå til lyd for principperne for ansvarlig adfærd i det ydre rum inden for rammerne af De Forenede Nationer. I denne forbindelse afgav EU erklæringer i tilknytning til FN's Generalforsamling, FN's nedrustningskonference, FN's Nedrustningskommission og FN's Komité for Fredelig Udnyttelse af det Ydre Rum (COPUOS). |
|
75. |
EU og dets medlemsstater var fortsat stærkt engageret i at forhindre et våbenkapløb i det ydre rum, hvilket er afgørende for at styrke international sikkerhed og stabilitet og for at sikre en langsigtet anvendelse af rummiljøet til fredelige formål. Vi gav fortsat udtryk for vores bekymring over udviklingen af alle former for antisatellitvåben og -kapaciteter, herunder jordbaserede, og understregede, at det er vigtigt straks at forholde sig til denne udvikling som led i den internationale indsats for at forhindre et våbenkapløb i det ydre rum. |
|
76. |
EU og dets medlemsstater støttede kraftigt vedtagelsen af præamblen og de 21 retningslinjer for den langsigtede bæredygtighed af aktiviteter i det ydre rum, som blev vedtaget af Komitéen for Fredelig Udnyttelse af det Ydre Rum og godkendt ved en resolution fra FN's Generalforsamling i 2019 (30). Retningslinjerne er et vigtigt supplement til de gennemsigtighedsfremmende og tillidsskabende foranstaltninger i det ydre rum (31). |

Den 9. december arrangerede EU's konsortium for ikkespredning og nedrustning i samarbejde med EU-Udenrigstjenestens rumtaskforce et seminar med titlen »Security, Safety, Sustainability: Promoting Good Behaviour in Outer Space«. Formålet med seminaret var at udveksle synspunkter og oplysninger om nationale, regionale og globale initiativer, der skal fremme bevarelsen af et sikkert og bæredygtigt rummiljø og en fredelig udnyttelse af det ydre rum på et retfærdigt og gensidigt acceptabelt grundlag. Seminaret samlede regeringsembedsmænd, den akademiske verden og den private sektor. Deltagerne reagerede positivt på de udbytterige drøftelser mellem rumsektoren og ikkesprednings- og nedrustningsfællesskabet om emner vedrørende sikkerhed og bæredygtighed i det ydre rum. |
WMD-IKKESPREDNINGSKLAUSULER
|
78. |
I overensstemmelse med sin politik for ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben og i overensstemmelse med Rådets konklusioner fra 2003 fortsatte EU arbejdet med at integrere tilsagn om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben i aftaler med partnerlande. Forhandlingerne fortsatte om en WMD-klausul til en ny aftale med Aserbajdsjan og blev afsluttet med Chile og Kirgisistan. Desuden blev der, i tråd med EU's og Cubas fælles afgørelse om midlertidig anvendelse af visse dele af den nye aftale, for første gang nogensinde afholdt en dialog mellem EU og Cuba om ikkespredning af masseødelæggelsesvåben i marts i Bruxelles på grundlag af WMD-klausulen i den nye aftale. EU deltog som observatør i første møde i konferencen om etablering af en zone i Mellemøsten, som er fri for kernevåben og andre masseødelæggelsesvåben, der blev afholdt den 18.-22. november 2019 i New York. |
ANDRE MULTILATERALE FORA
G7
|
79. |
EU fortsatte sin aktive deltagelse i møderne i gruppen af G7-direktører for ikkespredning. I 2019 deltog EU i møderne under fransk formandskab, som fokuserede på aktuelle spørgsmål vedrørende ikkespredning og nedrustning samt på at gøre yderligere fremskridt i koordineringen af arbejdet i gruppen af G7-direktører for ikkespredning og G7's Globale Partnerskab mod Spredning af Masseødelæggelsesvåben og -Materialer, særlig ved at etablere en tættere forbindelse mellem de politiske prioriteter og projektaktiviteterne. |
|
80. |
EU er fortsat engageret i Det Globale Partnerskab mod Spredning af Masseødelæggelsesvåben og -Materialer, navnlig gennem den tekniske bistand (trusselsvurdering, nationale handlingsplaner), der ydes på verdensplan gennem initiativet vedrørende EU's ekspertisecentre om begrænsning af kemiske, biologiske, radiologiske og nukleare risici. G7-erklæringen om ikkespredning og nedrustning af 6. april 2019 anerkendte, at der fortsat er behov for det G7-ledede globale partnerskab, som nu omfatter 30 aktive medlemmer og EU. |
POLITISKE DIALOGMØDER
|
81. |
EU-Udenrigstjenestens særlige udsending for ikkespredning og nedrustning afholdt dialogmøder om ikkespredning og nedrustning med Kina, Indien, Ukraine og USA. Han førte talrige bilaterale konsultationer med forskellige interessenter i tilknytning til vigtige fora såsom FN's Generalforsamlings 1. Komité, det andet møde i komitéen til forberedelse af gennemgangskonferencen i 2020 vedrørende traktaten om ikkespredning af kernevåben og IAEA's Generalforsamling. Der blev afholdt bilaterale konsultationer med bl.a. FN's højtstående repræsentant for nedrustning og generaldirektøren for Organisationen for Forbud mod Kemiske Våben og det newzealandske formandskab for MTCR. |

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