(2017/C 136/01)
UVOD
1. |
V tem poročilu o napredku pri izvajanju Strategije Evropske unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje, ki jo je Evropski svet sprejel decembra 2003 (dok. 15708/03), so zajete dejavnosti iz leta 2016. Osredotoča se le na najpomembnejše in ni izčrpno. Vse dejavnosti so potekale v širšem kontekstu politike EU za zagotavljanje varnosti in preprečevanje konfliktov. |
2. |
Vodilna načela Evropske unije, izhajajoča iz Globalne strategije za zunanjo in varnostno politiko Evropske unije (dok. 10715/16), Strategije Evropske unije proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje in Novih smernic za ukrepanje (dok. 17172/08), so še naprej:

Evropska služba za zunanje delovanje (ESZD), v mnogih primerih pa tudi njen posebni odposlanec za razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja ter predsednika delovnih skupin CONOP in COARM, so v letu 2016 zastopali EU na več ključnih mednarodnih srečanjih:
Posebni odposlanec se je najbolj posvečal:
|
4. |
Delovna skupina Sveta EU za neširjenje orožja se je v letu 2016 sestala enajstkrat, tudi na ravni direktorjev, ter razpravljala o stališčih in prihodnjih dejavnostih EU. Delegacije EU na Dunaju, v Ženevi in New Yorku so pripravile več izjav EU za večstranske forume in dejavno prispevale k oblikovanju politik v okviru rednih usklajevalnih sestankov na ravni EU. |
JEDRSKA VPRAŠANJA
5. |
EU je v celoti zavezana prizadevanjem za vsesplošen pristop k sporazumom o neširjenju jedrskega orožja in razoroževanju. Skozi vse leto je ponavljala, da odločno podpira dosledno, popolno in učinkovito izvajanje Pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – NPT), čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti CTBT ter vzpostavitev območja brez orožja za množično uničevanje in pripadajočih izstrelitvenih sistemov na Bližnjem vzhodu. Med najpomembnejšimi nalogami sta bila tudi začetek in čimprejšnji zaključek pogajanj o pogodbi o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa v okviru Konference o razorožitvi. |
Mednarodna agencija za atomsko energijo (IAEA)
6. |
EU pripisuje velik pomen osrednji odgovornosti IAEA za neširjenje orožja, jedrsko energijo, jedrsko varnost in tehnično sodelovanje. Če upoštevamo tudi dvostranske prispevke držav članic, je EU druga največja donatorka v Sklad IAEA za jedrsko varnost. Za Sklad je med letoma 2009 in 2016 na podlagi šestih zaporednih skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta finančno prispevala skupaj že skoraj 42 milijonov EUR. Po uspehu in z izkušnjami s Sklepom Sveta VI, 2013/517/SZVP (1), je decembra 2016 sprejela še sedmi sklep Sveta, pri čemer je dejavnostim IAEA na področju jedrske varnosti v sklopu načrta IAEA za jedrsko varnost za obdobje 2017–2019 namenila podporo v znesku približno 9,3 milijona EUR. |
7. |
S sredstvi EU je Agencija lažje pomagala posameznim državam pri izpopolnjevanju in zagotavljanju fizične zaščite izbranih objektov, izboljševanju njihove nacionalne regulativne infrastrukture za fizično zaščito in varnost radioaktivnega materiala ter uveljavljanju potrebne zakonodaje. Številni izpostavljeni viri so bili zaščiteni, razgrajeni ali odstranjeni; občutljiva jedrska oprema in tehnologija ter oprema za nadzor na mejah so bile nadgrajene, usposabljanje uradnikov pa je pripomoglo k večji jedrski varnosti po vsem svetu. |
8. |
Skupno raziskovalno središče Evropske komisije še naprej podpira podatkovno zbirko IAEA o nedovoljenem prometu. IAEA je potrdila, da je bil s posodobitvijo spletnega mesta z obrazcem za obveščanje o incidentih pri poročanju dosežen napredek. Podpora EU v ta namen se bo nadaljevala. |
9. |
EU prispeva k izvajanju Skupnega celovitega načrta ukrepanja z usklajevanjem Skupne komisije, ustanovljene v skladu s Skupnim celovitim načrtom ukrepanja, in več strokovnih delovnih skupin, ustanovljenih v okviru Skupne komisije. Vse usklajevalne dejavnosti so potekale ob doslednem upoštevanju dolgoročnega poslanstva IAEA, tj. preverjanja in spremljanja, kako Iran izpolnjuje zaveze, povezane z jedrskim vprašanjem. Poleg tega se je EU ob skrbnem usklajevanju z IAEA vključila v izvajanje Priloge III k Skupnemu celovitemu načrtu ukrepanja za spodbujanje civilnega jedrskega sodelovanja z Iranom, zlasti pri projektih za izboljšanje jedrske varnosti. |
10. |
Februarja 2016 so delegacije EU v 63 državah ob podpori držav članic EU začele diplomatska prizadevanja za ozaveščanje, da bi omogočile začetek veljavnosti spremembe Konvencije o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala. EU je podpirala IAEA pri promoviranju prvotne konvencije in njene spremembe. V Sklepu Sveta 2013/517/SZVP je tudi postavka „povečanje števila držav, ki pristopijo h Konvenciji o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala in njeni spremembi in/ali so izjavile, da nameravajo izvajati mednarodne pravne instrumente, ki podpirajo okvir jedrske varnosti“. EU je pozdravila dejstvo, da je maja 2016 začela veljati sprememba Konvencije o fizičnem varovanju jedrskega materiala, in bo še naprej pomagala državam pri doslednem izvajanju njenih določb. |
11. |
Svet je v skladu z zavezo, ki jo je Svet Evropske unije sprejel 8. decembra 2008, 15. novembra 2016 sprejel Sklep (SZVP) 2016/2001 (2) o prispevku Unije k ustanovitvi in varnemu upravljanju banke za nizko obogateni uran pod nadzorom IAEA. Prispevek v višini več kot 4 milijone EUR bo pripomogel k zagotavljanju zanesljive in varne oskrbe z jedrskim gorivom, agenciji IAEA pa pomagal tudi pri zagotavljanju varovanja nizko obogatenega urana med prevozom po celotni dobavni poti in med skladiščenjem na lokaciji banke. Evropska komisija je iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru že zagotovila 20 milijonov EUR za nabavo nizko obogatenega urana, ko bo projekt v polnem teku. |
12. |
Trenutno standard za preverjanje določajo celoviti sporazumi o nadzornih ukrepih in dodatni protokoli, EU pa si še naprej prizadeva za njihovo takojšno vsesplošno spoštovanje. S tesnim sodelovanjem med Euratomom in IAEA je mogoče zagotavljati delujoče in učinkovite zaščitne ukrepe. EU dejavno podpira sistem IAEA za zaščitne ukrepe prek programa Evropske komisije za podporo zaščitnim ukrepom in podpornih programov nekaterih svojih držav članic. |
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 (3) z dne 25. junija 2009 o vzpostavitvi okvira Skupnosti za jedrsko varnost jedrskih objektov 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. |
14. |
EU in IAEA se letno srečujeta na ravni visokih uradnikov ter pregledujeta in načrtujeta sodelovanje pri široki vrsti vprašanj. V letu 2016 je bilo takšno srečanje 21. in 22. januarja 2016 na Dunaju, gostila pa ga je IAEA. Politični in varnostni odbor EU je 25. aprila 2016 na Dunaju z IAEA imel več sestankov na ravni visokih uradnikov. Razpravljali so o dejavnostih IAEA na področju preverjanja, vključno z regionalnimi vprašanji, jedrsko varnostjo in jedrskimi uporabami. |
Pogodba o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT)
15. |
Pomembna cilja Strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje sta čimprejšnji začetek veljavnosti in univerzalnost CTBT. Vse države članice EU so svojo privrženost Pogodbi pokazale tako, da so jo ratificirale in začele začasno izvajati iz nje izhajajoče temeljne obveznosti. EU je 20. obletnico začetka podpisovanja te pogodbe zaznamovala s sprejetjem in začetkom izvajanja akcijskega načrta EU v podporo CTBT in Organizaciji pogodbe o celoviti prepovedi jedrskih poskusov (CTBT Organization – CTBTO), s katerim seznanja o koristih in dodani vrednosti, ki jih ima ta pogodba za mir, varnost in neširjenje, tudi kadar je uporabljena v civilne namene. |
16. |
Visoka predstavnica Unije za zunanje zadeve in varnostno politiko ter podpredsednica Komisije (VP/PP) Federica Mogherini je 13. junija 2016 na povabilo izvršnega sekretarja CTBTO Lassine Zerba prisostvovala ministrskemu delu 46. seje Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO in podala usklajeno izjavo EU. Skupaj z ministrom za zunanje zadeve Kazahstana je sopredsedovala zaprti ministrski okrogli mizi, namenjeni promociji ratifikacije CTBT in koristi režima preverjanja v okviru CTBTO, in otvorila posebno jubilejno razstavo. VP/PP Mogherini je 7. julija 2016 v Strasbourgu skupaj z izvršnim sekretarjem Zerbom sodelovala pri izmenjavi mnenj ob 20. obletnici začetka podpisovanja te pogodbe v organizaciji Odbora Evropskega parlamenta za zunanje zadeve (AFET), pri tem pa poslance opozorila na pomen promocije te pogodbe in koristi, ki jih prinaša. Nato je 21. septembra 2016 v New Yorku v imenu EU nastopila na 8. ministrskem srečanju prijateljev CTBT z naslovom Time to finish what we started, ki je bilo organizirano ob robu Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov. |
17. |
EU v mednarodnih forumih in na srečanjih z državami, ki še niso podpisale ali ratificirale CTBT, izkoristi vsako priložnost, da bi jih k temu spodbudila, in si po diplomatski poti še naprej prizadeva za začetek veljavnosti Pogodbe v teh državah. Vprašanje CTBT je bilo dvostransko obravnavano v okviru političnih dialogov EU in dialogov EU o neširjenju orožja z Indijo, Pakistanom in ZDA. Posebni odposlanec ESZD za razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja je 31. avgusta 2016 na univerzi Jawaharlala Nehruja v New Delhiju predaval o politikah EU in dejavnostih v podporo razoroževanju in neširjenju orožja, priložnost pa je izkoristil tudi za promocijo CTBT. |
18. |
EU bo CTBT še naprej močno podpirala, tako politično kot finančno. Od leta 2006 je Svet sprejel sedem skupnih ukrepov/sklepov Sveta v podporo dejavnostim Pripravljalne komisije CTBTO ter za nadaljnjo krepitev zmogljivosti Pripravljalne komisije za opazovanje in preverjanje. Finančna podpora EU za CTBTO je skupno že presegla 18,5 milijona EUR. |
Pobude za jedrsko varnost
19. |
EU je bila med zgolj štirimi mednarodnimi organizacijami, ki so prejele povabilo k udeležbi na vrhu o jedrski varnosti, ki je potekal od 31. marca do 1. aprila 2016 pod vodstvom predsednika ZDA Obame. Evropsko unijo sta zastopala predsednik Evropskega sveta Tusk in VP/PP Mogherini. Vrh se je končal s komunikejem in petimi akcijskimi načrti v podporo ustreznim prizadevanjem v okviru ZN, IAEA, Interpola, Svetovne pobude za boj proti jedrskemu terorizmu (Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism – GICNT) in Globalnega partnerstva proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje. Decembra 2016 se je EU pridružila kontaktni skupini za jedrsko varnost (Nuclear Security Contact Group – NSCG). |
20. |
EU je še naprej podpirala GICNT in misijo za krepitev globalnih zmogljivosti za preprečevanje in odkrivanje jedrskega terorizma ter odzivanje nanj. Sodelovala je na uspešnem jubilejnem zasedanju GICNT, ki je potekalo 15. in 16. junija 2016 v Haagu na Nizozemskem. Akcijski načrt EU na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti, v katerem je opredeljenih 124 ukrepov, je bil uspešno izveden. Splošni cilj tega akcijskega načrta, ki izhaja iz pristopa, pri katerem se upoštevajo vse nevarnosti, je bil zmanjšati grožnjo – in škodo – kemičnih, bioloških, radioloških in jedrskih incidentov, ki so povzročeni nenamerno ali namerno, tudi s terorističnimi dejanji. Center EU za usposabljanje na področju jedrske varnosti in za odzivanje na nedovoljena dejanja, povezana z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi materiali (EUSECTRA), od leta 2013 deluje v polnem teku v korist držav članic Evropske unije in partnerskih držav, med njimi več članic GICNT. Center upravlja Skupno raziskovalno središče EU (Joint Research Centre – JRC) v Karlsruheju (Nemčija) in Ispri (Italija), v tesnem sodelovanju z nosilci drugih mednarodnih pobud, ki jih podpirajo IAEA in več partnerskih držav v okviru GICNT. Center se uporablja tudi za praktične vaje predvsem v zvezi z bojem proti tihotapljenju jedrskih materialov; tako je bila, na primer, na to temo v partnerstvu z Združenimi državami med 8. in 10. marcem 2016 organizirana delavnica v Karlsruheju. Strokovnjaki iz več držav so skupaj s predstavniki GICNT, IAEA in Interpola izmenjali najboljše prakse in spoznanja, ki so jih pridobili med prizadevanji za boljšo izrabo preiskovalnih in tehničnih zmogljivosti za boj proti tihotapljenju jedrskih in drugih radioaktivnih materialov. JRC je 23. novembra 2016 v Karlsruheju za vse države članice EU organiziralo vajo na visoki ravni na podlagi scenarijev z naslovom „APEX-Europe“. |
21. |
Evropska komisija in države članice EU so nadaljevale svoje jedrskoforenzične dejavnosti, namenjene prepoznavanju temeljnih lastnosti odkritega jedrskega materiala, in sicer v okviru naprednega forenzičnega preiskovanja na Inštitutu za transuranske elemente pri JRC. Pregledi jedrskih materialov, odkritih in zaseženih v skupno več kot 50 incidentih, so bili v pomoč pristojnim organom v državah članicah EU in drugod. |
Regionalna vprašanja
22. |
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. VP/PP je najostreje obsodila jedrska poskusa, ki ju je DLRK izvedla 6. januarja oziroma 9. septembra 2016. EU je izrabila sleherno priložnost, da bi izrazila svojo zaskrbljenost in opozorila na dvoje, in sicer da (a) so poskusne detonacije jedrskega orožja grožnja mednarodnemu miru in varnosti ter spodkopavajo ureditev neširjenja orožja ter da (b) se z ravnanjem DLRK še zaostrujejo napetosti na Korejskem polotoku na škodo vseh in očitno kršijo njene mednarodne obveznosti na podlagi ustreznih resolucij Varnostnega sveta ZN, vključno z RVSZN 2270 in RVSZN 2321, pa tudi na podlagi ustreznih resolucij generalne konference IAEA. EU je uveljavila vse ustrezne resolucije Varnostnega sveta ZN. V skladu s cilji teh resolucij je sprejela dodatne avtonomne omejevalne ukrepe, s katerimi je še odločneje stopila v bran mednarodni ureditvi neširjenja orožja. |
23. |
EU je prek konzorcija EU za neširjenje orožja z ministrstvom za zunanje zadeve Republike Koreje sosponzorirala seminar o jedrskih in balističnih vidikih krize zaradi ravnanja DLRK, ki je potekal 24. in 25. oktobra 2016 v Seulu. |
24. |
Kar zadeva druge regije, je EU v ustreznih večstranskih forumih še naprej izkazovala svojo privrženost vzpostavitvi območja brez jedrskega orožja in drugega orožja za množično uničevanje in pripadajočih nosilcev na Bližnjem vzhodu. To vprašanje se uvršča tudi v kontekst razprav v okviru nedavno ustanovljene Delovne skupine za neširjenje orožja in nadzor nad orožjem pod okriljem EU in Lige arabskih držav, ki je bila oblikovana v okviru strateškega dialoga med EU in Ligo arabskih držav. Ta delovna skupina se je v letu 2016 sestala dvakrat. |
Konferenca o razorožitvi/Pogodba o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa
25. |
Konferenca o razorožitvi ima v skladu s svojim mandatom nepogrešljivo vlogo pri pogajanjih o večstranskih pogodbah o razoroževanju. Zato je EU zaskrbljena nad dejstvom, da se ne premakne z mrtve točke. |
26. |
S stališča Evropske unije sta med očitnimi prednostnimi nalogami takojšnji začetek in čimprejšnji zaključek pogajanj v okviru Konference o razorožitvi za pogodbo o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa, in sicer na podlagi dokumenta CD/1299 in v njem opredeljenega mandata. EU pozdravlja poročilo skupine vladnih strokovnjakov, v katerem so upoštevana izražena stališča ter opredeljene skupne točke in razhajanja. Odločno se zavzema za nadaljnje razprave v pripravljalni skupini na visoki ravni, ki jih predvideva Resolucija 71 Prvega odbora GS ZN z naslovom „Splošna in popolna razorožitev: pogodba o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih materialov za jedrsko orožje ali druga jedrska eksplozivna telesa“. |
27. |
EU vse države članice Konference o razorožitvi poziva, naj se začnejo o tej pogodbi pogajati brez odlašanja in se lotijo tudi drugih vprašanj na dnevnem redu v skladu s sprejetim delovnim programom iz CD/1864. Prav tako vse države, ki imajo jedrsko orožje in tega še niso storile, spodbuja k temu, da bi razglasile takojšen moratorij na proizvodnjo cepljivih snovi za izdelavo jedrskega orožja ali drugih jedrskih eksplozivnih naprav in se ga tudi držale. Poleg tega ponovno poudarja, da je že od nekdaj privržena širitvi Konference. |
KEMIČNO OROŽJE
28. |
EU je še naprej podpirala Organizacijo za prepoved kemičnega orožja (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons – OPCW), in sicer s prostovoljnimi prispevki za osrednje cilje Konvencije o kemičnem orožju (Chemical Weapons Convention – CWC) in posebne operacije te organizacije v zvezi s sirskim programom na področju kemičnega orožja. |
29. |
V zvezi s tem je EU podprla odločitev generalnega direktorja OPCW, naj misija za ugotavljanje dejstev nadaljuje delo, ekipa za oceno ujemanja med prijavljenim in dejanskim stanjem pa naj se še naprej posveča vrzelim in neskladjem v sirskih prijavah. EU je pozdravila sprejetje RVSZN 2319 (2016), s katero je bil za eno leto podaljšan mandat skupnega preiskovalnega mehanizma OPCW-ZN, ki je bil vzpostavljen na podlagi RVSZN 2235 (2015) za identifikacijo storilcev pri kemičnih napadih v Siriji. EU je s Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2015/2215 (4), sprejetim 30. novembra 2015, že 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). |
30. |
Prav tako je EU še naprej spremljala izvajanje Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2015/259 (5), ki je bil sprejet februarja 2015 v podporo osrednjim točkam agende OPCW za obdobje 2015–2017. |
31. |
S Sklepom Sveta 2014/74/SZVP (6) z dne 10. februarja 2014 in Uredbo Sveta (EU) št. 124/2014 (7) z dne 10. februarja 2014 je bilo uvedeno odstopanje, v skladu s katerim se lahko zamrznjena sirska sredstva uporabijo za kritje stroškov, povezanih z dejavnostmi OPCW za preverjanje in uničenje v Siriji. 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. |
32. |
Prvotni osrednji cilji CWC, kot so univerzalnost, uničenje preostalih nakopičenih zalog kemičnega orožja in izvajanje na nacionalni ravni, še niso v celoti doseženi, vseeno pa EU in njene države članice že zrejo v prihodnost in so začele razmišljati o fazi po uničenju kemičnega orožja. EU in njene države članice pred bližajočo se 4. konferenco o pregledu CWC (decembra 2018) že razmišljajo o prihodnjih izzivih v zvezi s prizadevanji, da bi ta organizacija ostala relevantna (tj. prepovedjo ponovnega pojava kemičnega orožja, uporabo med nedržavnimi akterji in teroristi, zbliževanjem z biologijo) ter tako prispevala k učinkovitosti Konvencije. V zvezi s tem je EU podprla oblikovanje odprte delovne skupine za prihodnje prednostne naloge v okviru OPCW in se lotila sestavljanja skupnega stališča EU kot prispevka k razpravi v okviru OPCW. |
BIOLOŠKO OROŽJE
33. |
EU je na podlagi skupnega stališča iz Sklepa Sveta (SZVP) 2015/2096 (8) z dne 16. novembra 2015 proaktivno in konstruktivno sodelovala pri pripravah na 8. konferenco o pregledu BTWC ter tudi v posvetovanjih na tej konferenci, ki je potekala od 7. do 25. novembra 2016. Svojo odločenost, da s političnimi in finančnimi sredstvi stori vse, da bi se 8. pregledna konferenca izšla uspešno in z znatnimi rezultati, je potrdila na različne načine: s štirimi regionalnimi delavnicami v podporo prizadevanjem predsednika konference za soglasje (v Astani, Adis Abebi, New Delhiju in Brasilii); z „demaršami“ EU, med drugim v zvezi z vsesplošnim pristopom h Konvenciji; z delovnimi dokumenti EU; s spremljajočimi dogodki in izjavami EU. |
34. |
EU od leta 2006 zagotavlja znatno materialno podporo za osrednje dejavnosti v okviru BTWC s štirimi zaporednimi programi pomoči. Najcelovitejši okvir na tem področju je bil vzpostavljen s Sklepom Sveta (SZVP) 2016/51 (9) z dne 18. januarja 2016. S sklepom je zagotovljeno financiranje projektov za univerzalizacijo BTWC; regionalnih delavnic o znanstveno-tehnološkem razvoju na področjih, ki jih zajema Konvencija; izvajanja na nacionalni ravni; podpore pripravam na 8. pregledno konferenco; podpore mehanizmu generalnega sekretarja ZN za preiskovanje zatrjevane uporabe kemičnega, biološkega in toksičnega orožja; ozaveščanja in izobraževanja. Finančni znesek za izvajanje projektov za obdobje od leta 2016 do leta 2018 je 2,3 milijona EUR, tako da bo skupna vsota v podporo osrednjim dejavnostim v okviru BTWC dosegla 6,3 milijona EUR. |
BALISTIČNI IZSTRELKI
Haaški kodeks ravnanja
35. |
Haaški kodeks ravnanja proti širjenju balističnih izstrelkov (Hague Code of Conduct – HCoC) je rezultat prizadevanj mednarodne skupnosti za ureditev področja balističnih izstrelkov, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti kot nosilce orožja za množično uničevanje. HCoC je edini večstranski instrument, namenjen preglednosti in krepitvi zaupanja, ki obravnava širjenje balističnih izstrelkov. EU Kodeks zavzeto podpira, že odkar je bil zasnovan. K njemu so pristopile vse države članice EU. |
36. |
Člani HCoC se prostovoljno politično zavežejo k predhodnemu priglaševanju izstreljevanja balističnih in nosilnih raket ter preskusnih poletov. Države, ki sodelujejo pri HCoC, so se tudi zavezale, da bodo vsako leto predložile izjavo o svoji politiki glede balističnih izstrelkov in nosilnih raket. |
37. |
Od podpisa in začetka veljavnosti politično zavezujočega HCoC novembra 2002 v Haagu na Nizozemskem, se je število podpisnic povzpelo s 93 na 138. |

EU ima vodilno vlogo pri spodbujanju in podpiranju univerzalnosti, doslednega izvajanja in izpopolnjenega delovanja HCoC. Decembra 2014 je sprejela Sklep Sveta 2014/913/SZVP (10) o sredstvih za nadaljnjo podporo Haaškemu kodeksu ravnanja in neširjenju balističnih izstrelkov nasploh, ki se je začel v praksi izvajati aprila 2015. EU na podlagi tega sklepa Sveta finančno podpira dejavnosti za ozaveščanje o HCoC, srečanja strokovnjakov in regionalne dogodke, namenjene ozaveščanju. Te dejavnosti izvaja Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) s sedežem v Parizu. Dogodki, ki so bili v zadnjem času organizirani s finančno podporo EU, so potekali aprila 2016 v Cape Townu, junija 2016 na Dunaju, septembra 2016 v Amanu, oktobra 2016 v New Yorku ter novembra 2016 na Tajskem in v Mjanmaru/Burmi. |
39. |
Delegacijam EU v številnih državah je bilo novembra 2016 naročeno, naj na pristojne organe zadevnih držav naslovijo demarše, s katerimi naj jih spodbudijo, da z naklonjenostjo razmislijo o pristopu k HCoC. |
Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije
40. |
Režim kontrole raketne tehnologije (Missile Technology Control Regime – MTCR) je neformalni politični dogovor med državami, ki si prizadevajo za omejitev širjenja izstrelkov in raketne tehnologije. Smernice iz MTCR in kontrolni seznami predstavljajo mednarodno merilo za najboljše prakse pri nadzoru nad izvozom predmetov in tehnologij, povezanih z raketami. |
41. |
Plenarno srečanje MTCR je bilo leta 2016 organizirano med 19. in 21. oktobrom v Busanu v Republiki Koreji. EU je podala uvodno izjavo in pregled svojih dejavnosti, namenjenih ozaveščanju, ki jih izvaja v okviru svojega programa na področju nadzora nad izvozom EU-P2P. Na plenarnem srečanju MTCR so med drugim temeljito razpravljali o posameznih prošnjah za članstvo, tudi o tistih iz devetih držav članic EU. Razprava o vprašanju članstva se bo v okviru MTCR še nadaljevala. Marca 2016 je v Parizu potekal razširjeni sestanek kontaktnih točk v okviru MTCR, na katerem je ESZD dala vsestransko izjavo. |
ZMANJŠEVANJE KEMIČNE, BIOLOŠKE, RADIOLOŠKE IN JEDRSKE OGROŽENOSTI
42. |
Resoluciji Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov 1540 je bila namenjena znatna politična in finančna podpora. Tudi EU si prizadeva za cilje, ki se nanašajo na pomoč državam pri določanju potrebne konkretne tehnične pomoči, prizadevanja za seznanjenost z ustreznimi programi tehnične pomoči in krepitev sodelovanja z mednarodnimi in regionalnimi organizacijami za pomoč pri razvoju nacionalnih zmogljivosti. |
43. |
Pobuda EU za centre odličnosti za zmanjševanje kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske ogroženosti je svetovni program, v katerega je trenutno vključenih 55 partnerskih držav, financira pa se v okviru instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru. Njen cilj je zmanjševanje ogroženosti zaradi kemičnih, bioloških, radioloških in jedrskih materialov ter razvijanje kulture in upravljanja varnosti. |
44. |
Mreža centrov odličnosti je prerasla v globalno strukturo, v jedru katere je trenutno osem centrov odličnosti. Sodelujoče države dobijo podporo za prizadevanja, da bi prostovoljno in po načelu „od spodaj navzgor“ vzpostavile usklajevalne in upravljalne strukture na nacionalni in regionalni ravni. V okviru teh platform se na podlagi posamičnih ocen potreb in nacionalnih akcijskih načrtov razvijajo 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 do danes je bilo financiranih 55 regionalnih projektov. Proračun pobude za desetletno obdobje, ki se je začelo leta 2010, znaša 250 milijonov EUR. |
45. |
Zahvaljujoč sedaj dobro razviti mreži centrov odličnosti lahko EU daje že tudi dodatne pobude za reševanje vprašanj s področja upravljanja varnosti, povezanih s kibernetsko kriminaliteto, terorizmom, kritično infrastrukturo, ponarejenimi zdravili, hibridnimi grožnjami in eksplozivi, ter naprej razvija sodelovanje pri jedrski forenziki, mejnih kontrolah in nadzoru nad izvozom blaga z dvojno rabo. Ta pristop, za katerega se je zavzelo tudi Evropsko računsko sodišče (11), je upoštevan v sklepih Sveta z dne 26. oktobra 2015 (12). |
46. |
Akcijski načrt EU na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti iz leta 2009 je bilo treba izvesti do konca leta 2015. Proti koncu leta 2015 se je Komisija lotila pregleda stopnje izvedbe načrta. Pregled so izvedle Komisija in države članice. Med glavnimi dosežki EU so odprtje centra EU za usposabljanje na področju jedrske varnosti, namenjenega odkrivanju nezakonitih dejanj, povezanih z jedrskimi in drugimi radioaktivnimi snovmi, ter odzivanju na ta dejanja, priprava glosarja podatkovne baze CBRN-E in organizacija številnih večnacionalnih in/ali čezmejnih programov usposabljanj in vaj. Drugo poročilo o napredku bo objavljeno v kratkem. |
47. |
Nov strateški dokument, ki obravnava varnostno razsežnost politike na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske varnosti, bo izšel v prvi polovici leta 2017. Prednostne naloge iz novega sporočila bodo opredeljene v tesnem sodelovanju s ključnimi deležniki, vključno s predstavniki držav članic v svetovalni skupini za CBRN-E. Sporočilo bo verjetno sledilo zgradbi Evropske agende za varnost ter bo usmerjeno v boljšo uporabo obstoječih orodij za izmenjavo informacij, okrepljeno operativno sodelovanje in tesno sodelovanje s ključnimi mednarodnimi partnerji. Močan poudarek bo tudi na podpiranju ukrepov, kot so usposabljanje in raziskave. Komisija bo projekte na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske ogroženosti še naprej finančno podpirala iz Sklada za notranjo varnost – Policija. |
48. |
Akcijski načrt na področju kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske ogroženosti je znanstveno in tehnično podprt z vrsto raziskovalnih projektov, ki so financirani iz programa za varno družbo v okviru sedmega okvirnega programa. Raziskava zajema celoten cikel kriznega upravljanja od preprečevanja do obnove. Na podlagi dejavnosti za določitev potrebnih standardov bi lahko bili oblikovani „evropski normativni“ (EN) standardi. S programom Obzorje 2020 se bo z usmerjenimi temami še izboljšalo sedanje delo na področju raziskav, povezanih s kemično, biološko, radiološko in jedrsko varnostjo. |
MOŽGANSKI TRUSTI
49. |
Izvajanje strategije EU proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje je na podlagi Sklepa Sveta 2010/430/SZVP (13) z dne 26. julija 2010 dejavno podprl konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja, ki je začel delovati januarja 2011. V skladu s Sklepom Sveta 2014/129/SZVP (14), sprejetim 10. marca 2014, se dejavnosti konzorcija podaljšajo za nadaljnja tri leta, pri čemer se opirajo na dosedanje dosežke ter dopolnijo z novimi in inovativnimi projekti. |
50. |
Z dejavnostmi konzorcija se je izboljšala prepoznavnost EU v tretjih državah in civilni družbi, bistveno pa so prispevale tudi k oblikovanju politike EU na področju neširjenja orožja in razoroževanja. Konzorcij zagotavlja platformo za neformalne stike med oblikovalci in izvajalci politik in poživlja dialog med različnimi deležniki. Njegove dejavnosti so prispevale k boljši ozaveščenosti o izzivih, ki jih predstavlja jedrsko, kemično in biološko orožje. Obsežna mreža konzorcija šteje več kot 73 možganskih trustov z vseh koncev Evrope. |
51. |
Peta konferenca EU o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju, ki jo je gostil konzorcij EU za neširjenje orožja, je potekala 3. in 4. novembra 2016 v Bruslju. To je bila doslej največja konferenca z več kot 300 udeleženci iz 70 držav in mednarodnih organizacij. |
RESOLUCIJA VARNOSTNEGA SVETA ZDRUŽENIH NARODOV 1540 IN NADZOR IZVOZA
RVSZN 1540
52. |
Resolucija Varnostnega sveta ZN 1540 (2004) ostaja osrednji steber mednarodne arhitekture neširjenja orožja. Je prvi mednarodni instrument, ki na enovit in celovit način obravnava orožje za množično uničevanje, njegove nosilce in pripadajoče materiale. RVSZN 1540 (2004) določa zavezujoče obveznosti za vse države. Njihov cilj je nedržavnim akterjem preprečiti dostop do takšnega orožja in z njim povezanih materialov ter jih od tega odvračati. Resolucija je bila sprejeta na podlagi poglavja VII Ustanovne listine Združenih narodov in od vseh držav zahteva, da sprejmejo zakonodajo, ki je potrebna, da nedržavni akterji ne bi prišli do jedrskega, kemičnega ali biološkega orožja, in vzpostavijo ustrezen notranji nadzor nad materiali, povezanimi s takšnim orožjem, da se prepreči nedovoljena trgovina z njim. |
53. |
Odbor iz Resolucije 1540 je leta 2016 v skladu z Resolucijo VSZN 1977 (2011) opravil celovit pregled stanja izvajanja Resolucije 1540 (2004). Pri tem pregledu je sodeloval s članicami OZN, mednarodnimi organizacijami, akademiki, industrijo in poslanci. Pri pregledu je dejavno sodelovala tudi EU; svoje dejavnosti v podporo RVSZN 1540 je na primer predstavila v poročilu, naslovljenem na Odbor iz Resolucije 1540, in oblikovala vrsto priporočil za prihodnost te resolucije. Veliko teh priporočil je bilo vključenih v poročilo o celovitem pregledu, ki ga je Odbor iz Resolucije 1540 predložil VSZN, in v naknadno Resolucijo VSZN 2325 (2016), sprejeto 15. decembra 2016. |
54. |
EU je v zadnjem desetletju v okviru uspešne večletne sheme financiranja Uradu Združenih narodov za razorožitev (United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs – UNODA) zagotovila znatno vsoto. Podporo je zagotovila na podlagi dveh skupnih ukrepov Sveta iz leta 2006 in 2008 ter sklepa Sveta, sprejetega leta 2013. Namen podpore, ki jo je EU zagotovila UNODA v okviru svoje skupne zunanje in varnostne politike, je bil:
|
55. |
Zadnji sklep Sveta v zvezi s tem je bil sprejet leta 2013, veljati pa je prenehal aprila 2016. EU je v letu 2017 pripravljena sprejeti nov sklep Sveta v podporo izvajanju in univerzalnosti RVSZN 1540, ob upoštevanju rezultatov in priporočil iz celovitega pregleda, opravljenega leta 2016. |
56. |
EU je leta 2016 prek mreže delegacij EU izvedla ciljno usmerjeno kampanjo ozaveščanja v 17 državah, ki še morajo predložiti prvo poročilo Odboru iz Resolucije 1540. Prizadevanja EU za ozaveščanje so v številnih državah naletela na topel sprejem, iz njih pa bodo izšli nadaljnji podporni ukrepi EU, in sicer v partnerstvu z zadevnimi državami, ki bodo zaprosile zanje. |
Nadzor nad izvozom
57. |
EU je tudi v letu 2016 z rednim posodabljanjem svojih predpisov sledila spremembam pri večstranskih ureditvah nadzora nad izvozom. Tako je bil kontrolni seznam EU posodobljen z Delegirano uredbo Komisije (EU) 2016/1969 (15) z dne 12. septembra 2016 ob upoštevanju odločitev, sprejetih v okviru večstranskih ureditev za nadzor nad izvozom leta 2015, z njo pa so bile uvedene tudi spremembe, na primer pri nadzoru nad laserskimi merilnimi sistemi in elektronsko opremo, s katero je mogoče izvajati visokohitrostne analogno-digitalne pretvorbe. |
58. |
Usklajevalna skupina za blago z dvojno rabo je še naprej prispevala k učinkovitemu in doslednemu izvajanju nadzora nad izvozom v EU. „Elektronski sistem za dvojno rabo“ je bil nadgrajen z novimi funkcijami, s čimer je bila izboljšana izmenjava informacij znotraj EU. EU je sprejela smernice za učinkovito uvedbo posebnih nadzornih parametrov, npr. glede šifrirnih izdelkov. V skrbi za preglednost pri nadzoru nad izvozom in izdajanju dovoljenj je bilo objavljeno letno poročilo (16). |
59. |
Stekel je pregled politike EU na področju nadzora nad izvozom. Evropska komisija je sprejela predlog za posodobitev nadzora nad izvozom v EU (17) in njegovo prilagoditev hitro spreminjajočim se tehnološkim, gospodarskim in političnim okoliščinam. Predlog je bil v okviru rednega zakonodajnega postopka predložen v obravnavo Parlamentu in Svetu. |
60. |
EU je po potrebi usklajevala stališča in izjave v okviru priprav na relevantna srečanja v okviru posameznih ureditev nadzora nad izvozom: plenarno zasedanje Skupine držav dobaviteljic jedrskega blaga v Seulu (23.–24. junij 2016), plenarno zasedanje Avstralske skupine v Parizu (9. junij 2016) in plenarno zasedanje pogodbenic Režima za nadzor nad raketno tehnologijo v Busanu (17.–21. oktober 2016). |
61. |
Nadaljevalo se je izvajanje medpartnerskega programa EU za ozaveščanje (EU P2P Export Control Outreach), namenjenega izpopolnjevanju učinkovitosti sistemov nadzora nad izvozom blaga z dvojno rabo ter pripadajočih materialov, opreme in tehnologije. V program je zaenkrat vključenih 34 držav iz šestih regij. Septembra 2015 je bil razširjen tako, da bo mogoče sodelovati še z drugimi partnerskimi državami. Nove dejavnosti so potekale v Maroku, Tuniziji, Jordaniji, Ukrajini, Gruziji in Združenih arabskih emiratih. V Kazahstan in Jordanijo so bili za daljše obdobje poslani strokovnjaki EU, da bi okrepili vezi s partnerskimi državami. Za Jugovzhodno Azijo je bil oblikovan poseben program. |
62. |
Nadaljevalo se je intenzivno usklajevanje programa EU P2P Export Control Outreach s programom ministrstva ZDA za zunanje zadeve za nadzor nad izvozom in s tem povezana mejna varnostna vprašanja. EU in ZDA so skupaj organizirale simulacijske vaje za spodbujanje čezmejnega medregijskega sodelovanja med organi, pristojnimi za nadzor nad izvozom. V okviru Evropskega foruma Alpbach je bilo vzpostavljeno letno poletno univerzitetno usposabljanje EU za neširjenje orožja in nadzor nad izvozom. Portal programa EU P2P Outreach (https://export-control.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) je še naprej deloval kot platforma za vse programe EU za ozaveščanje o nadzoru nad izvozom vojaškega blaga in blaga z dvojno rabo, usmerjena v utrjevanje izmenjave informacij s posameznimi partnerskimi državami EU. Program je financiran iz instrumenta za prispevanje k stabilnosti in miru. |
VESOLJE
63. |
EU in njene države članice so vse večje uporabnice vesolja. EU je razvila ambiciozna vesoljska programa Galileo in Copernicus, ki dopolnjujeta nacionalne vesoljske programe. Za EU so koristni tudi evropski vesoljski programi njenih držav članic in Evropske vesoljske agencije. Z globalno strategijo za zunanjo in varnostno politiko Evropske unije iz junija 2016 je ponovno potrdila svojo dolgotrajno zavezanost spodbujanju mednarodnega sodelovanja v vesolju ter spodbujanju varnosti v vesolju in njegove trajnostne rabe: „Na področju vesolja se bomo zavzemali za neodvisnost in varnost naših vesoljskih storitev ter si prizadevali za načela za odgovorno ravnanje v vesolju, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče sprejeti mednarodni prostovoljni kodeks ravnanja.“ |
64. |
EU je oktobra 2016 objavila novo vesoljsko strategijo za Evropo, v kateri je opredelila evropske ambicije v vesolju in potrdila, da ostaja dejavna in v svetovnem merilu zavzeta partnerica. EU na podlagi vrednot in načel, zapisanih v pogodbah OZN, skupaj z državami članicami in partnericami še naprej promovira mednarodna načela odgovornega ravnanja v vesolju in varuje vesolje, da bi ga lahko trajnostno in miroljubno izkoriščale vse države. |
65. |
EU in njene države članice bodo še naprej izkazovale prizadevnost na teh področjih, ki so pomembna za našo varnost in našo blaginjo. |
KLAVZULE O NEŠIRJENJU OROŽJA ZA MNOŽIČNO UNIČEVANJE
66. |
EU je v skladu s Strategijo proti širjenju orožja za množično uničevanje še naprej vključevala načelo o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v svoje pogodbene odnose s tretjimi državami. Nadaljevala je pogajanja o klavzulah o neširjenju orožja za množično uničevanje v ustreznih sporazumih s tretjimi državami. Uspešno so bila zaključena pogajanja s Kubo in Malezijo, z Japonsko in Armenijo pa so lepo napredovala. Poleg tega so bile opravljene priprave in posvetovanja za bližajoče se razprave z Mercosurjem in Mehiko v začetku leta 2017. Pogajanja so v pomoč pri ozaveščanju o politikah EU za neširjenje orožja in razoroževanje. So tudi forum za krepitev medsebojnega razumevanja, prepoznavanja možnosti za sodelovanje v prihodnje in so v spodbudo konkretnemu napredku pri neširjenju in razoroževanju. |
DRUGI VEČSTRANSKI FORUMI
G7
67. |
EU se je še naprej dejavno udeleževala srečanj skupine vodilnih uradnikov s področja neširjenja orožja (Non-Proliferation Directors Group – NPDG), ki so leta 2016 potekala v okviru japonskega predsedovanja. Vrhunec je bilo sprejetje izjave zunanjih ministrov skupine G7 11. aprila 2016 v Hirošimi o jedrskem razoroževanju in neširjenju orožja. |
68. |
EU je privržena tudi Globalnemu partnerstvu proti širjenju orožja in sredstev za množično uničevanje (GP), zlasti z zagotavljanjem tehnične pomoči (ocena nevarnosti, nacionalni akcijski načrti) po vsem svetu v okviru pobude EU za centre odličnosti za zmanjševanje kemične, biološke, radiološke in jedrske ogroženosti. Zaveda se, da se programi in dejavnosti Globalnega partnerstva, namenjeni boju proti terorizmu, povezanim z orožjem za množično uničevanje, tesno navezujejo na procese v okviru vrha o jedrski varnosti, konferenco o pregledu BTWC in celoviti pregled RVSZN 1540. Zato izraža zadovoljstvo, da se Globalno partnerstvo neprestano širi in ni omejeno na skupino G7. Partnerstvo trenutno šteje 30 aktivnih članic, med njimi pet članic z regionalnimi sekretariati EU. |
SREČANJA V OKVIRU POLITIČNEGA DIALOGA
69. |
Posebni odposlanec ESZD za razoroževanje in neširjenje orožja Jacek Bylica je organiziral srečanja v okviru dialogov o neširjenju orožja in razoroževanju z Indijo, Japonsko, Pakistanom, Rusko federacijo, ZDA in Izraelom. Ob robu pomembnejših forumov, kot so Prvi odbor GS ZN, splošna konferenca IAEA, konferenca o pregledu BTWC in konferenca držav pogodbenic CWC, je opravil vrsto dvostranskih posvetovanj z različnimi deležniki, med drugim z visokim predstavnikom ZN za razoroževanje, generalnim direktorjem Organizacije za prepoved kemičnega orožja in direktorjem UNIDIR. |

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. |
