(9a) The implementation of the Copernicus programme should meet the highest standards of transparency and efficiency. It is vital that public procurement principles be applied. In order to gain the maximum benefit from public investment and guarantee a competitive space industry, the operation of services linked to Copernicus should be open to competition and comply with European public procurement principles. Similarly, fair competition along the supply chain should be ensured, paying particular attention to the participation of SMEs and above all avoiding any abuse of dominant positions or reliance on a single supplier.
