Recital 47
Recital 47
(47) Copernicus should ensure an autonomous access to environmental and agricultural knowledge and key technologies for Earth observation and geo-information services, thereby enabling the Union to achieve independent decision- making and actions in the fields of the environment, agriculture, climate change, civil protection, security, as well as the digital economy, among others.

Recital 52
Recital 52
(52) With regard to data acquisition, the activities under Copernicus should aim at completing and maintaining the existing space infrastructure, preparing the long- term replacement of the satellites at the end of their lifetime, as well as initiating new missions, whose feasibility is currently being studied by the European Space Agency, which addressing new observation systems to support meeting the challenge of global climate change (e.g. anthropogenic CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions monitoring) and agricultural monitoring. Activities under Copernicus should expand their global monitoring coverage over the polar regions and support environmental compliance assurance, statutory environmental monitoring and reporting and innovative environmental applications (e.g. for crops monitoring, water management and enhanced fire monitoring). In doing so, Copernicus should leverage and take maximum advantage of the investments made under the previous funding period (2014-2020), while exploring new operational and business models to further complement the Copernicus capacities. Copernicus should also build on successful partnerships with Member States to further develop its security dimension under appropriate governance mechanisms, in order to respond to evolving user needs in the security domain.
