"With the adoption of this report, we have taken an important step towards drawing up a future European space strategy. A common space policy may contribute significantly to reviving the competitiveness of the European economy, fostering scientific and technological progress and stimulating innovation, as envisaged by the Europe 2020 strategy. The economic importance of the European space industry is evident from a few figures: 31 000 highly skilled employees, EUR 5.4 billion in annual turnover, EUR 800 billion of European GDP from satellite radio navigation. In addition to being an engine of industrial development, space policy plays a critical role in protecting the environment, in combating climate change, and in ensuring security for European citizens. That is why the main programmes it uses, Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) and Galileo, should receive adequate financial support from the EU. It has repeatedly been stressed that GMES is a key programme for crisis management, civil protection and humanitarian assistance operations. I therefore hope that a new strategy will be drawn up as soon as possible, which can unleash the space sector’s potential for economic development and research, as well as that of its earth observation programmes."@en1
