"The space sector plays a vital role in increasing competitiveness and innovation at EU level. The space infrastructure is a key framework serving the economic, social and strategic interests of EU citizens.
The successful launch of the Galileo project confirms to me that the EU needs an independent space policy which is integrated in the objectives of different development sectors. I think that the key to this policy’s success lies in connecting the space infrastructure with satellite service providers.
Unfortunately, European companies which deploy satellite communication systems are confining their activities to Europe and reducing their staff, while production is being shifted to other continents. The SARTRE programme funded by the Commission, whose aim is to implement technologies allowing vehicles to be driven in platoons via satellite, provides significant added value to research and innovation in the EU. The institutions and companies involved in the project benefit from the European space infrastructure, thereby helping increase safety and ease of use in terms of traffic, with a reduced environmental impact.
Romania has joined the European Space Agency (ESA) and is due to be an institutional partner in Euclid, a scientific space mission. Romania is also having its first experience of space with the launch of the Goliath satellite. The European Space Agency’s space systems enable the development of space applications for agriculture, the environment, transport, disaster assessment and telemedicine."@en1
