"The importance of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme has been reiterated many times during many heated debates in Parliament. It plays a key role in ensuring that Europe has independent access to Earth observation-related information. Let us not forget that having access to accurate and timely information about our planet is fundamental in order to guarantee safety, alert citizens in the event of natural disasters or simply a deterioration in air quality, and to mitigate the effects of climate change.
GMES provides the necessary geospatial data, ensuring that they are totally reliable and can be verified, through harmonisation and comparison at European level. It is therefore necessary to ensure that this important programme receives adequate long-term financial support, so as to prevent any interruptions in data reception and, ultimately, dependency on the space infrastructures of third countries to the detriment of European manufacturing companies linked to the sector. I hope that the European Commission will submit a new legislative proposal on the governance, funding and activity of the GMES programme without delay, with the objective of ensuring its full and effective operation from 2014."@en1
