(5) The objectives of the Copernicus programme are to provide accurate and reliable information in the field of the environment and security, tailored to the needs of users and supporting other Union’s policies, in particular relating to the internal market, transport, environment, energy, civil protection, cooperation with third countries and humanitarian aid. It builds on capabilities existing in Europe, complemented by new assets developed in common.

(6) The Copernicus programme should be implemented consistently with other relevant Union instruments and action, in particular with environmental and climate change actions, and instruments in the field of securiafety, protection of personal data, competitiveness and innovation, cohesion, research, transport, competition and international cooperation, with the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) programme. Copernicus data should maintain coherence with Member States’ spatial reference data and support the development of the infrastructure for spatial information in the Union established by Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE)10. Copernicus should also complement the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) and Union activities in the field of emergency response. __________________ 10 OJ L 108, 25.4.2007, p. 1.

(9) In order to attain its objectives, the Copernicus programme should rely on an autonomous Union’s capacity for space- borne observations and provide operational services in the field of environment, civil protection and securiafety. It should also make use of the available in-situ data provided, namely, by the Member States. The provision of operational services depends on the well-functioning and safety of the Copernicus space component. The increasing risk of collision with other satellites and space debris is the most serious threat to the Copernicus space component. Therefore, the Copernicus programme should support actions aimed at reducing such risks, in particular by contributing to the programme established by Decision [XXX] of the European Parliament and the Council establishing a Space Surveillance and Tracking Support Programme11. __________________ 11 OJ L,, p..
