Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Is deeply concerned at the ongoing militarisation and possible future weaponisation of space, e.g. the emergence of anti- satellite, laser and other kinetic weapons which pose a threat to European space infrastructure and thus to the security and safety of EU citizens; is also concerned with the increasing use of space assets by the military which might reduce and limit civilian use and possible future civilian applications; calls on the Member States and the HR/VP to initiate a review of the outdated 1967 Outer Space Treaty or to initiate a new regulatory framework which takes into account technological progress since the 1960s and effectively prevents an arms race in outer space and ensures the prohibition of harmful interference with space objects.
