lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, GMES has a vital role to play, particularly in the fight against climate change. It will deliver accurate scientific information about how climate change is affecting the planet, the land, the sea and the air. GMES will therefore be key to Europe’s long-term security, so it is crucial to guarantee a stable financial framework for the future development of the programme. I am deeply concerned about the funding proposal from the Commission putting GMES outside the next multiannual financial framework and making it subject to a voluntary intergovernmental agreement. That is no way to finance a strategic security project, and indeed we know that no intergovernmental agreement has yet been reached. We know that some Member States have indeed expressed objections to paying for GMES from their national budgets, so how will the Commission ensure that enough money is found, given the current national budget constraints? There is a further principle at stake here. Climate change affects us all in different ways and all EU Member States need access to GMES. It contradicts the principle of open access if those Member States who pay more start demanding better conditions of use. GMES will lose its status as a European Union flagship initiative, and it will lose its independence as well. So what are the alternatives? If GMES was within the MFF, then funding could come from the agriculture budget and the Structural Funds, as well as from Horizon 2020. Equally, innovative financing mechanisms such as project bonds could be explored, allowing private capital to be leveraged. The decision on how to finance GMES is in the hands of the Commission and the Council, so, Commissioner, will you reconsider this question of how GMES is to be financed?"@en1
