"Mr President, Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 on the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) and its initial operations, for the period 2011-2013, will expire in 2013 and, unfortunately, the Commission has not come up with a new proposal for a regulation. GMES has enormous potential in terms of economic growth and job creation, due to the development of innovative services. GMES provides critical information for sustainable management of the environment, improving the protection of biodiversity, monitoring and forecasting the state of the oceans and atmospheric composition, understanding the determinant factors and the effects of climate change, addressing natural or man-made disasters, supporting policy development and strengthening the security of European citizens.
The GMES service component provides access to information to support the following areas: monitoring the atmosphere, monitoring climate change, the adaptation and mitigation policies, emergency management, land monitoring, marine environment monitoring, and security. GMES applications and services include: space monitoring of air quality, monitoring of toxic algae growth, disaster response training based on data from space, increasing the safety of shipping in the Arctic regions, quantification of the solar energy received by the Earth, satellite tracking of pirated ships, monitoring of volcanic eruptions and their effects on air travel.
On 9 February, the European Space Agency signed contracts to launch two new satellites in 2013: Sentinel 2 and Sentinel 3 of the five-satellite constellation of the GMES programme. We reiterate the request addressed by the Parliament to the Commission within the framework of Resolution 19 of January 2012 concerning a European Union space strategy that benefits its citizens and urge the Commission to finalise the legal framework and clarify the approach to effective governance. We urge the Commission to include GMES in the multiannual financial framework 2014-2020. Please note that the lack of a financial plan providing long-term economic support could ultimately mean that the investment made to date has been fruitless."@en1
