Paragraph 1 d (new)
Paragraph 1 d (new)
1d. Recalls that Galileo is a civil system under civil control; recalls the existence of the Public Regulated Service (PRS), which is restricted to government- authorised users and is suitable for sensitive applications where robustness and complete reliability must be ensured; considers that the capacity of the PRS should be further developed in the next generations in order to respond to evolving threats; calls on the Commission to ensure that the operational procedures are as efficient as possible, particularly in the event of a crisis; stresses the need to continue developing and promoting applications based on Galileo capabilities, including the necessary ones for CSDP, in order to maximise the socio-economic benefits; recalls also the need to strengthen the security of the Galileo infrastructure, including the ground segment, and invites the Commission to take the necessary steps in this direction in cooperation with the Member States;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Welcomes the work to provide the EU with autonomy inous access to governmental satellite communications (GOVSATCOM) and invites the Commission to continue to make progress on this file; recalls that the first step in the process has been the identification of civil and military needs by the Commission and the European Defence Agency, respectively, and considers that the initiative should entail the pooling of demand and should be designed in a way that best meets the needs identified; calls on the Commission to make, on the basis of beneficiaries’ needs and requirements, a cost-benefit evaluation of different solutions: - the provision of services by commercial operators, - a system relying on current capabilities with the possibility of integrating future capabilities; or - the creation of new capacities through a dedicated system; stressnotes that, whatever the final decision should take account of the interests of beneficiaries and industry; considers that the Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) framework could provide a governance model, any new initiative should benefit European industry (manufacturers, operators, launchers and other industry segments); considers that GOVSATCOM should also be considered as an opportunity to boost competitiveness and innovation by taking the benefit of the development of dual technologies, in the extremely competitive and dynamic context of the SATCOM market;
Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points to the development of SST as a step towards security in space; considers that SST should become an EU programme with its own budget; invbelieves also that the EU should develop a more holistic space situational awareness (SSA) capacity, with more predictive capabilities the Commission to assess the need to take account of space weather and near-Earth objects and to come up with the next steps for SST in order to prepare industry, involving the surveillance of space and the analysis and assessment of potential threats and hazards to space activities; invites therefore the Commission to build on SST, developing a broader SSA concept that would also address intentional threats to space systems and, in cooperation with ESA, take account of space weather and near-Earth objects; believes that a holistic coordination of space activities should be reached without hampering the freedom of using space;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Notes the strategic importance of independent access to space and the need for dedicated EU action; calls on the Commission, including with regard to security and defence, sin collaboration with the European Space Agency and the Member States, to coordinate planned institutional needs, so that industry can anticipate demand, to support launch infrastructure and to promote R&D, particularly in breakthrough technologiece this capacity allows Europe to gain access to space in the event of a crisis; considers that the EU must ensure that it has a strong space technological base and the necessary industrial capabilities to allow it to conceive, develop, launch, operate and exploit space systems, ranging from technological autonomy and cyber- security to supply-side considerations;
