(5a) As space systems have become a critical element underpinning the Union’s security, prosperity and the everyday well-being of its citizens, the threat of potential cyber-attacks on space infrastructures and services has also dramatically increased, to such extent that a successful attack would bring catastrophic consequences upon the Union’s critical services, networks and economy. In order to avert such consequences, it is essential to devote a specific task, funded accordingly and coordinated by a single body, which could guarantee the maximum protection and safety of the Space Programme’s assets against any cyber-physical threat, creating synergies between its different components and economies of scale.

(25a) Given that the European Space Agency has experience and expertise that the GSA does not share, it is essential that the lion's share of the technical analysis be delegated to the former and that the

Commission be given a primarily political rather than a technical role. In particular, and in line with the areas of expertise of each of the bodies, the Agency should be responsible for the technical evaluation of the infrastructural operations in place, while ESA would be responsible for the technical evaluation of new infrastructure designs.

Or. fr

Justification

The ESA has decades of experience in space technology and thousands of employees. Neither the Commission nor the Agency can hope to match this in the short term.

Thus, to improve governance and respond to the criticism of experts and industry regarding the cumbersome nature of the of the evaluation processes, it is necessary to make the most effective use of the areas of expertise of each and delegate to ESA a lion's share of technical expertise.

(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 addressing new observation systems to support meeting the challenge of global climate change (e.g. anthropogenic CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions 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.
