"Space exploration has always fired the imagination of Europeans, and the Galileo project symbolises Europe’s capacity in this area vis-à-vis the US ‘giant’. This report concerns the EU space strategy at the service of the public at a time of crisis, when financial resources are scarce. However, it is vital that the EU continues to develop its space programme, so as not to undermine the scientific and technological progress that has been made, in particular, through flagship projects like Galileo and Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. The rapporteur, aware that space policy is a key element of the Europe 2020 strategy and that the European space industry employs more than 31 000 highly skilled people, with a turnover of more than EUR 5.4 billion, urges the Commission to draw up an international cooperation strategy with the Member States, strengthening dialogue with strategic partners – the United States and Russia – and involving emerging powers, such as China, India, South Korea and Brazil. Since I am aware that better European space capabilities may contribute not only to driving the EU economy, but also to improving the lives of the European public, I voted for this report."@en1
