Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44

(44) In order to optimise the use of the services provided, the services provided by Galileo and EGNOS should be compatible and interoperable with one another and, insofar as possible, with other satellite navigation systems and with conventional means of radio navigation where such compatibility and interoperability is laid down in an international agreement, without prejudice to the objective of strategic autonomy of the Union. The European Commission should, at the same time, encourage manufacturers and assemblers of geolocation devices to opt widely for components compatible with the services provided by Galileo, in order to ensure the widest possible availability of devices (especially for the general public) that can be used with this European technology.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 62

(62) Following the requests of the European Parliament and of the Council and, the Union established a support framework for space surveillance and tracking (SST) by means of Decision No 541/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 establishing a Framework for Space Surveillance and Tracking Support24. Space debris has become a serious threat to the security, safety and sustainability of space activities. There are between 18 000 and 29 000 artificial objects larger than 10 centimetres, 750 000 'flying projectiles' of one centimetre, and around 150 million fragments smaller than one millimetre. The SST is therefore primordial to preserve the continuity of the Programme's components and their contributions to Union policies. By seeking to prevent the proliferation of space debris, SST contributes to ensuring the sustainable and guaranteed access to and use of space, which is a global common. ~~_________________ 24~~The SST is intended to facilitate the implementation of Earth orbit 'clean-up' projects such as the ESA e.Deorbit mission to be launched in 2023. _________________ 24 OJ L 158, 27.5.2014, p. 227.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point d

(d) a space surveillance and tracking system aiming to improve, operate and provide data, information and services related to the surveillance and tracking of active and inactive spacecraft, discarded launchers stages, debris and debris fragments that orbit around the Earth and complemented by observational parameters related to space weather events and the risk of near earth objects ('NEOs') approaching earth monitoring (‘SST’); this system is considered to be the first step in the deployment of 'clean-up' missions as such.
