"I voted for the resolution on the future of the European Earth monitoring programme (GMES) because it represents a flagship space initiative of the EU and plays a key role in observing the Earth, making it an essential tool in combating climate change and environmental degradation, for civil protection and security, sustainable development, and mobility and crisis management. GMES offers significant economic opportunities by stimulating innovation and job creation across the whole of the EU. GMES was established as an EU programme, financed through the EU budget with approximately EUR 3.2 billion by 2013, under the management and responsibility of the EU.
We believe that the Commission’s current proposal to finance GMES outside the multiannual financial framework (MFF) is not a viable solution because the uncertainty relating to GMES financing seriously affects the development and marketing of services and applications related to this programme, which is expected to generate economic growth and welfare for European citizens.
In this regard, we urge the Commission to table a legislative proposal for the management, financing and long term operation of the GMES programme, financed under the MFF, in order to ensure proper implementation of the programme and to achieve its objective of being fully functional as of 2014."@en1
