lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the GMES programme is instrumental in allowing the EU to make real progress in developing a comprehensive space strategy. As others have said, the programme will give the EU the ability to directly monitor the earth and its atmosphere and will assist, when fully functional, in handling emergency management of natural disasters. The case for past investment through the EU budget was convincing, and I believe that it remains so. The programme has made real progress from purely R&D to an operational stage. We cannot risk putting further development of the programme in jeopardy with a proposed move for it to have to rely on intergovernmentanl funding. The current austerity measures being implemented in many Member States would suggest that if this were a discretionary intergovernmental spend, it would not be incurred. In the field of R&D, it is critically important that the EU budget is used so that longer-term investments are made today in order to fuel the economic competitiveness and growth of future years. It is one of the few programmes I continue to support, believing that investment at EU level will add value and will contribute to the formulation of sound, scientifically-based policies and, hopefully, generate commercial opportunities as the programme matures."@en1
