SUMMARY:Seventh Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation Consortium
DESCRIPTION:The Seventh Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC) was held in Brussels (Borschette Center) on 4 and 5 September 2018. ​ \nIt tackled the most pressing challenges in the Middle East (the US withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018) and in North East Asia (which “denuclearization” process for the DPRK after the June 2018 Singapore Summit?)\, the nuclear disarmament objective in a constraint strategic environment\, the UN Secretary general’s disarmament agenda\, the reinforcement of the chemical weapons prohibition norm after the 2017 crises\, and the EU strategy against illicit small arms and light weapons. \nIt cannot be denied that the present context is not auspicious to progress in the non-proliferation and disarmament realm: The global environment has seen many challenges to the normative order for several years (North Korea’s withdrawal from the NPT in 2003\, US and Russia’s strategic dialogue stalemate since 2014\, chemical weapons use in the Syrian conflict since 2013\, etc.); existing arms control and non-proliferation agreements are getting dangerously close to unravelling. \nIn such a context\, it was widely acknowledged by the hundred participants to the meeting that the EU has a special responsibility to uphold existing regimes in a coherent\, concerted and effective way\, pursuant to the principle of “effective multilateralism” which has been the cornerstone of the European Strategy against proliferation of weapons of mass destruction since 2003. \n  \n \n  \nAgenda\nTuesday\, 4 September 2018\n13:30 – 14:00\nRegistration \n14:00 – 14:15\nWelcome and introduction to the meeting\nBenjamin Hautecouverture\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\nJacek Bylica\, European External Action Service \n14:15 – 15:45\nThe revision of the EU Strategy against illicit SALW and their ammunition\nChair: Frank Meeussen\, European External Action Service \nSpeakers:\n– Damien Spleeters\, Conflict Armament Research\n– Fabio Marini\, DG Home \n15:45-16:00 Coffee break \n16:00 – 18:00\nThe chemical weapons non-use norm after the Special Conference of States Parties to the CWC\nChair: Christopher Daase\, Peace Research Institute Frankfurt \nSpeakers:\n– Elisande Nexon\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\n– Una Becker-Jakob\, Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\n– Dimitris Iliopoulos\, EEAS\, Former EU Liaison Officer to OPCW \n19:00 Dinner \n  \nCredit: FRS\n  \nWednesday\, 5 September 2018\n08:15 – 08:45\nRegistration \n08:45 – 10:45\nThe JCPOA after the US withdrawal\nChair: Stephan Klement\, European External Action Service Iran Task Force \nSpeakers:\n– Tytti Erastö\, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute\n– Louis de Gaulle\, Le Club des Juristes \n10:45 – 11:00 Coffee break \n11:00 – 13:00\nThe DPRK crisis after the Singapore summit\nChair: Laura Rockwood\, Vienna Center on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation \nSpeakers:\n– Mark Fitzpatrick\, International Institute for Strategic Studies\n– Tongfi Kim\, Vesalius College \n13:00 – 14:00 Lunch \n14:00 – 16:00\nNuclear disarmament\, the NPT review process and the TPNW: Prospects for the EU\nChair: Ettore Greco\, Istituto Affari Internazionali \nSpeakers:\n– Emmanuelle Maître\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\n– Bruno Hellendorff\, Egmont \n16:00 – 16:15 Coffee break \n16:15 – 17:45\nUNSG’s Disarmament agenda\nChair: Maria Mekri\, SaferGlobe \nSpeakers:\n– Renata Dwan\, United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research\n– Cristina Varriale\, Royal United Services Institute\n– Anne Kemppainen\, EUDEL Geneva \n17:45 – 18:00\nConcluding remarks\nBenjamin Hautecouverture\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\nJacek Bylica\, European External Action Service
