自欧盟于2003年12月首次通过《防止大规模毁灭性武器扩散战略》以来，应对大规模毁灭性武器扩散的挑战已被确定为欧盟对外行动的一项“中心内容”（理事会，2003：2;另见本卷附录二）。欧盟强调需要通过对“为所有不扩散努力提供法律的和规范基础”的多边条约体系的承诺，采取“务实的安全办法”（理事会，2003年：3和6），特别强调维护和加强有效的全球多边不扩散制度。这一制度的根本是《不扩散条约》（案文见本卷附录一），被欧盟视为“全球核不扩散制度的基石，谋求核裁军的根本基础.以及进一步发展核能和平应用的重要因素”。（理事会1994、2000、2005和2010 a：第1条）。《不扩散条约》及其谈判为了解和评估欧盟核不扩散政策的外部方面及其在追求和实现其国际核不扩散目标方面的表现提供了一个重要的案例研究。
Meeting the challenge of the proliferation of WMD has been identified as a ‘central element’ in the EU’s external action since the EU first adopted its Strategy Against the Proliferation of WMD in December 2003 (Council 2003: 2; see also Appendix II of this volume). Stressing the need for a ‘multilateralist approach to security’ through a commitment to the multilateral treaty system that ‘provides the legal and normative basis for all non-proliferation efforts’ (Council 2003: 3 and 6), the EU has placed special emphasis onto upholding and strengthening an effective global, multilateral non-proliferation regime. Fundamental to this regime is the NPT (for its text see Appendix I of this volume), perceived by the EU as ‘the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, the essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament … and an important element in the further development of nuclear energy applications for peaceful purposes’ (Council 1994, 2000, 2005 and 2010a: Art. 1). The NPT and its negotiations offer a crucial case study for understanding and assessing the external dimension of the EU’s nuclear non-proliferation policy and its performance in the pursuit and attainment of its international nuclear non-proliferation objectives.
