"The Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme is one of the European Union’s two flagship space initiatives, and plays a key role in earth observation, which is a vital tool in combating climate change and environmental degradation, in civil protection and security, sustainable development, mobility and crisis management, and in providing important economic opportunities. GMES is politically, strategically and technically of major importance for Europe and offers very substantial value for money in terms of economic, social and technological benefits. The lack of a credible financing plan providing long-term and stable financial support would probably lead to higher costs in the longer term, disparity of access to the resulting information and benefits for European citizens, and an interruption or even a suspension of the programme and its data provision, and could ultimately mean that the investment made to date has been fruitless and that Europe would lose its independence and technological advancement in this important space infrastructure.
Uncertainty about the future of the GMES programme and its financing would be hugely detrimental to the development and market uptake of GMES services and applications, which are expected to generate economic growth and prosperity for European citizens."@en1
