Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Takes the view that, with a view to maintaining continuity of service if an incident takes place, protective measures should be made more robust by systematically integrating cybersecurity requirements by design and throughout the lifespan of existing components; calls for a distinction to be made between objects used for civil or military purposes, by design, in order to protect objects whose sole function would be to help people affected by humanitarian crises;

7a.

24a. Points out that the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) in charge with the provision of commercial and governmental services and the operational security of the satellites systems should continue to reinforce its role in providing strategic autonomy to the EU for the security of the space systems in operations;
