Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Highlights the dual-use capacity ofimportance of the Galileo and Copernicus, in the form of the Public Regulated Service and the Copernicus security service services; points in this regard to the civil origin of European space capacity; believes thise capacityies of these services should be fully developed and further extended in the next generations, noting especially the need for very high resolution earth observation data (Copernicus) and better precision and encryption (Galileo); calls for sufficient provision in the mid-term review for all satellite systems’ future development;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Underlines in this regard that the development of European space capabilities for European security and defence should have two key strategic objectives: security on the planet, i.e. security on the planet through technological space systems in orbit designed to monitor the earth's surface, and security in outer space as well as space safety, i.e. security in orbit and in space through SST systems on the earth's surface and in orbit designed to monitor the orbit and outer space;
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 b (new)
Paragraph 1 b (new)
1b. Points out that in order to further develop the capacities of satellite-based systems a comprehensive concept of security is needed; emphasises therefore that the usefulness of high-resolution earth observation data and positioning systems lies above all in the areas of disaster management, humanitarian actions, refugee aid, maritime surveillance, global warming, energy security and global food security, as well as in the detection of and response to global natural disasters, notably droughts, earthquakes, floods and forest fires; adds that a comprehensive concept of security also includes threats posed by near-Earth objects, space weather and space debris; calls therefore for the technical and infrastructure development of the systems to meet the requirements for a comprehensive concept of security;
Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points to the development of SST as a step towards security in space and to the further development of its own SST capacities as a priority of the Union in the area of space capabilities for European security and defence; considers therefore that SST should become an EU programme with its own budget; stresses in this regard the potential danger of space debris; invites the Commission to assess the need to take account of space weather, space debris and near-Earth objects and to come up with the next steps for SST in order to prepare industry;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Points out that the prevention and the elimination of future and existing space debris must be part of a strategic reflection on how to ensure security in Europe; draws attention to the need for research into technological systems for the prevention and elimination of space debris; calls in this respect for close cooperation between the European Union and the Member States and the European Space Agency, as well as other stakeholders and countries in the field of space policy;
Amendment 42 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Points out that the correct regulatory and policy frameworks must be established in order to give industry further impetus and incentives to pursue technological development and research into space capabilities; underlines in this regard that the Union, in cooperation with the European Space Agency and Member States, should take over the operational coordination of the future space capabilities of the Union.
