".
Space is a unique platform from which we can carry out observations and experiments that are of the utmost importance to our understanding of nature, to promoting people’s well-being and to protecting this blue planet of ours. Research and technology must not be developed under conditions imposed by competition and the market. Public investment and the public sector are crucial to ensuring that the achievements and advances made are designed to serve the common good and that everyone benefits from them.
Space-related activities must serve only peaceful purposes, and we therefore reaffirm our opposition to the militarisation of space (in particular under the CFSP and ESDP) and call for policies that use space to be based on the non-proliferation of weapons and on renouncing the use of weapons. We support the development of a space policy based on cooperation and on the coordinated efforts of various countries, particularly in Europe, and we therefore believe that the European Space Agency must retain its independent nature, and not become an EU institution. We also believe that public investment in this field must be increased."@en1
