"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security (GMES) programme is the only one of its kind in the world, and symbolises a Europe that promotes projects for industrial cooperation, the same Europe that speaks to our fellow citizens. GMES means innovation, employment, industry and industrial policy. Those are words that should call out to us during this time of crisis. However, this programme is directly threatened by the European Commission’s proposal to withdraw it from the EU’s financial framework. In addition, the launching of the Sentinel satellites, planned for 2013, cannot be guaranteed in the current context if there is no visibility as regards the funding that will enable the satellites to operate once in orbit. The interruption of this programme and the subsequent delays will unavoidably lead to higher industrial and budgetary costs as a result. It is vital for this type of industrial programme to continue in order to contain costs and strengthen its efficiency. At a time when we are trying to reduce our spending, changing the course of this programme risks doing the opposite and making costs skyrocket. In this difficult economic period, the numerous subcontractors cannot consider investing if there is a lack of predictability. GMES must therefore be consolidated and, in order to do so, it must receive sustained and continued support from the European budgetary framework. To that end, the Members of the European Parliament are calling on you to review this proposal so that GMES can become the symbol of industrial and space policy in Europe."@en1
