Article 189 TFEU: Basis for Space Policy
Why?• “to promote scientific and technical progress,
industrial competitiveness and implementation of EU policies”
What?• “promote joint initiatives, support research
and technological development and coordinate efforts needed for the exploration and exploitation of space.”

Why an EU lead GMES programme?• EO is strategic§ Security, risk and crisis management§ Spatial planning§ Monitoring of natural resources§ Meteorology and Climate monitoring
è Need for autonomous European capacities
• EO requires synergies§ EO costs for a comprehensive programme like GMES go
beyond resources of a single nation§ EU acting and visible at international level§ Wide potential market for EU
è Pooling of resources at EU level fosters innovation and competitiveness

• GMES services• Provide standardized common (multi-purpose)
information• Based on common requirements from EU and public MS
institutions• Will support ‘public good’ data policy• Supported by EU/public funding (GMES programme)
• Downstream sector• Tailored for specific applications at local, regional,
national levels• EU to encourage and support the implementation of
these service layer through incentive measurements (user uptake, R&D)
Services as main goal

Observational infrastructures
• In-situ observation infrastructure: air-, sea- and ground-based systems and instruments• (e.g. airborne, balloons, floats, ship-
borne, measuring stations, seismographs, etc)
• Space infrastructure component for GMES: different missions co-ordinated at European level• Dedicated GMES missions: ESA
Sentinels• Contributing missions: EU National,
EUMETSAT and third parties

Data access policy
• Distinction between Sentinel data, GCM data and services products & information
• Common principles EU/ESA on a full and open access to data and information
• For the Sentinel data : likely to be free of charge licensing with online access scheme, subject to security restrictions
è Delegated Act to be adopted by the EC

1. Why do we need GMES ?2. GMES in a nutshell3. GMES Marine Environment Monitoring Service4. Expectations, challenges5. Way forward
MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
GMES Marine Service• Policy focus: provide data and information to
meet monitoring needs for the implementation of international, EU and national policies as well as respond effectively to risks to life, property, marine hazards.
§ Regional Conventions between Member States & the EC e.g. OSPAR
§ 6th Environmental Action Plan§ EU Directives, e.g. Marine Strategy Framework Directive
(MSFD) and the Water Framework Directive (WFD)§ EU Integrated Maritime Policy§ EU's initiative on marine knowledge i.e. COM(2007) 575

MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
User requirements, scope
• Targeted institutional users§ EU institutions, e.g. European Commission (DG Mare, DG
Environment, DG Energy…), EU agencies (EEA, EMSA)§ European agencies, e.g. ECMWF§ OSPAR and HELCOM§ National institutions
• Rationale and service scope§ deliver regular and systematic reference information (processed
data, elaborated products) on the state of the oceans and regional seas
§ at the resolution required by institutional users & downstream service providers, of known quality and accuracy
§ for the global and European regional seas, with downscaling capacity
MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
• Global ocean & main European regional seas (Baltic, Med, NE Atlantic, Black Sea, Arctic)• physical ocean state (“ocean weather” and primary ecosystem)• allow hindcasting, nowcasting, forecasting• reanalysis for marine ECVs• evolution towards coastal domain & marine resources

4 main application areas
Area 1« MARINE SAFETY»(maritime operations,
sea pollutions, ship routes,
search and rescues …)
Area 2« MARINE RESOURCES»
(fishery,ICES, FAO, …)
Area 3« COASTAL & MARINE
ENVIRONNEMENT »(Water quality, pollution,
costal activities …)
Area 4« CLIMATE &

meteorological forecasting, ..)
MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
Precursor activities
• Precursor projects for the GMES Marine service§ MerSeaè FP6§ MyOcean (2009 – 2012) è FP7§ MyOcean 2 è call for proposals under the GMES element of the
FP7 Space WP
• Other projects§ Polar View project (ESA) provides monitoring and forecasting

MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
Expectations
• MyOcean and the future GMES Marine Environment Monitoring Service is expected§ to serve the European institutions (including agencies EEA,
EMSA, ECMWF…)§ to also serve national institutions needs, using networking
(EuroGOOS)§ to be incremental, adaptable and able to cope with new
observations requirements§ to allow the development of a downstream sector§ with the best possible quality (QC, CAL/VAL activities…)è Continuity and reliability of products is crucial for the user
uptake
13
MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
Challenges• Implementation of GMES Initial Operations§ Data policy, security of GMES
• Consolidation of the European integration§ Autonomous European capacity (strategy)§ Optimisation of resources (catalogue of products)§ Full operational dimension (back up solutions, 24/7 basis…)§ World class level of excellence (continuous feed back of R&D)
• Service scope§ Upgrade of the service (downscaling issues : towards coastal waters ?)§ Marine / maritime environment§ Cross cutting issues with other GMES services (emergency: need for on
duty officers ?)§ Climate Change: reprocessing capabilities, reanalysis, scenarios)
• Governance and funding§ Continuous access to in situ data§ Beyond MyOcean 2 : new procurement scheme (GMES 2014+)§ Leadership of a fully fledged operational service§ Following a meteorology model as a reference ?

GMES 2014+
• Space Component: update of LTS by ESA (May 2011)
• Services: cost-benefit assessment to allow phasing in from RTD to operations(September 2011)
• In-Situ: GMES In Situ Component project (GISC)
• Commission proposal for GMES 2014+§ November/December 2011; based on § overall budget proposal next MFF (June 2011)

MyOcean User Workshop, Stockholm, 7-8 April 2011
Ø5 years ago, the European Commission organised a User Workshop for paving the way to the definition of the precursor marine environment monitoring service
ØMyOcean User Workshop is expected to provide important feed back from usersØOn existing products and possible new productsØOn the interface, accessibilityØOn the quality
ØLinks with the User ForumØOutputs of the workshop expected to be made available
by the Commission to the User Forum in May 2011ØUser Forum dedicated to marine environment in the 2nd
half of 2011
Way Forward
