lpv:translated text	". Space science and technology have offered mankind a great deal, in the form of both new knowledge and advanced technology and everyday applications (telecommunications, surveys of the earth and the atmosphere, navigation). European countries have made a particularly important contribution along the way: to launching systems, to research, to applications. However, further development is threatened by the fact that the driving force is the commercial exploitation of space services and applications. Thus, operating under the conditions and the rules of the free market and liberalisation, the aerospace industry in Europe is in danger of shrinking as the result of competition from mainly American companies. Many people forecast the development of military space applications within the framework of the EU's common defence and security policy. The ΕU also often cites the requirements of the space industry in order to justify the military use of space. The Communist Party of Greece is categorically opposed to any such prospect, which will result in further militarisation of space with the ΕU leading the way. We are in favour of the exclusively peaceful use of space and public funding for the relevant activities. Further development cannot be accomplished within the framework of the market; it must have as its incentive not commercial profit but the development of activities for the benefit of mankind as a whole."@en1
