"Space research is undoubtedly an area where cooperation could and should be enhanced, between Member States and with other countries in Europe and beyond. Such research should be aimed at exploiting the potential of space for purely peaceful ends, deepening knowledge and thus seeking new possibilities for solving problems and the current needs of human societies. The report advocates a European space strategy based on a set of programmes that either currently exist or are in development, such as Galileo, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, Single European Sky ATM Research and Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). We have funding set aside for these programmes, which relates to their possible use for military purposes. That is the case with the GMES programme, which is aimed at global monitoring for the environment and security, and which includes earth observation and the ‘extraction of precise and useful data’ for preparing military operations and for covert ‘border surveillance’, as well as to ‘support EU External Action’, in addition to risk prevention, emergency management and coastal surveillance. This type of use – for military ends – is of serious concern to us. The Commission, like this report, not only fails to rule this out, but actually opens the door to it."@en1
