Au cours de la seconde plénière de février, le Parlement européen votera sur son rapport annuel 2023 sur la mise en oeuvre de la politique de sécurité et de défense commune (PSDC). Le rapport de cette année reflète l’évolution sans précédent de la défense de l’Union depuis 2022. Il porte surtout sur la guerre russe en Ukraine et la réaction de l’Union, la situation au Proche-Orient, la mise en oeuvre de la boussole stratégique et les initiatives de l’Union en matière de défense.

In 2022, the EU Strategic Compass included space as a strategic domain, and called for a dedicated European strategy. In the meantime, Russia's invasion of Ukraine confirmed the key role of space for defence and resilience, but also highlighted vulnerabilities related to space systems. Another 'wake-up call' came from a different direction; SpaceX's advances in reusable rocket technology leading to Starship's first orbital flight test turned the spotlight onto launch providers and access to space ...

Lors de la deuxième période de session plénière de février 2023, le Parlement européen devrait mettre aux voix l’accord sur la proposition de règlement établissant le programme de l’Union pour une connectivité sécurisée pour la période 2023-2027 (également appelé infrastructure de résilience, d'interconnectivité et de sécurité par satellite – IRIS2). Les télécommunications par satellite sont un atout stratégique tant pour les gouvernements que pour la société civile. Elles viennent compléter les ...

Satellite communication is a strategic asset for governments and civil society alike. Complementary to terrestrial networks, it can contribute to seamless digital communication, even when such networks are absent or disrupted. Today, the EU does not have a dedicated infrastructure (including space and ground segments) to offer satellite communication services to governments, the economy or civil society. Several EU global partners and competitors are investing in parallel in such capabilities. On ...

Over the past decade, space has gained increasing importance as an economic sector offering opportunities for established and emerging markets. Space policies and their applications have also gained in political relevance due to their capacity to tackle global challenges, such as the climate and biodiversity crises, but also due to the growing reliance of the EU economy and society on space infrastructure, services and data. Pursuant to Article 189 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European ...

The new Space-based Connectivity Initiative is also considered. In addition, recommendations by the Court of ...

EU Space programme

Briefing 12-05-2021

In June 2018, the European Commission proposed a budget of €16 billion to finance EU space activities during the 2021-2027 period. The majority of this would be allocated to Galileo and EGNOS, the EU's global and regional satellite navigation systems; around a third would be allocated to Copernicus, the EU's Earth Observation programme; and the remainder would be earmarked for security, such as the Space and Situational Awareness (SSA) programme and the new Governmental Satellite Communication initiative ...
