Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Highlights the dual-use capacity of Galileo and Copernicus, in the form of the Public Regulated Service and the Copernicus security service; believes this capacity should be fully developed in the next generations, noting especially the need for very high resolution earth observation data (Copernicus) and better precision, and encryptionuthentication, encryption, continuity and integrity (Galileo); calls for sufficient provision in the mid-term review for all satellite systems’ future development;
Amendment 29 #

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points to the development of SST as a step towards security in space; considers that SST should become an EU programme with its own limited budget; invites the Commission to assess the need to take account of space weather and near-Earth objects and to come up with the next steps for SST in order to prepare industry; emphasises that the private sector should be enabled to play an important role in further developing and maintaining the non-sensitive part of the SST system, for which the two-sided governance structure of Galileo could serve as an example;

4. Notes the strategic importance of independent access to space and the need for dedicated EU action; calls on the Commission, in collaboration with the European Space Agency and the Member States, to coordinate planned institutional needs, so that industry can anticipate demand, as well as on the other hand generate its own demand as concerns business driven utilization, to support launch infrastructure and to promote R&D, particularly in breakthrough technologies;

4c. Identifies the dangers of cyber warfare for European space programmes, taking into account that spoofing or jamming can disturb military missions or have far- reaching implications for daily life on earth; believes that cyber security requires a joint approach by EU, Member States, business and internet specialists; calls on the Commission, therefore, to include space communication in its cyber security programmes;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses the need for better coordination of EU space capacities, with the necessary system architectures and procedures to ensure a proportionate level of security, including data security; considers that EU space capacities dedicated to security and defence could be managed by a specific operational service coordination centre., which should be incorporated in a cost- efficient manner into one of the existing EU bodies, such as the European GNSS Agency, the EU Satellite Centre or the European Defence Agency, taking into account the capabilities already offered by those agencies;
