(4a) The Council, in its Conclusions on Common Security and Defence Policy of 1 December 2011, emphasised the growing demand for the European Union to become a more capable, coherent and strategic global actor, reiterated the continuing need for a comprehensive approach and underlined the importance of the common security and defence policy (CSDP) which needs to be underpinned by sufficient and adequate capabilities – in terms of personnel, assets and intelligence analytical support. Moreover, the Council welcomed Member States' commitments in specific concrete projects, facilitated by the European Defence Agency (EDA) like in the fields of: Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance including Space Situational Awareness and Military Satellite Communications, and stated that it looked forward to the concrete definition of these projects as soon as possible, as well as the development of other pooling projects on the basis of existing initiatives, such as: maritime surveillance and Satellite Communication.

(4b) The Council, in its 7th Space Council Resolution of 25 November 2010, invited the European Commission, the European Council, assisted by EDA, together with Member States and the European Space Agency (ESA), to explore ways to support current and future capability needs for crisis management through cost-effective access to robust, secure and reactive space assets and services (integrating global satellite communications, Earth observation, positioning and timing), taking full advantage of dual-use synergies as appropriate. Accordingly, it welcomed the growing support of the EU Satellite Centre (EUSC) to EU missions and operations and recommended the setting up of appropriate arrangements to improve the effectiveness of EUSC service provision to EU missions and operations, and to facilitate access to national programme imagery. In addition, the Council acknowledged the increasing dependence of the European economy and policies, in particular the Common Foreign and Security Policy, on space assets and the critical nature of space infrastructures for autonomous European decision-making, and the need to define and introduce appropriate measures to monitor and protect these assets, including at the outset of their development.
