".
I welcomed the idea of setting up the European Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme as the right response from the EU to the ever increasing need for accurate and reliable environmental data, particularly in relation to climate change, migration and shortages of resources and food. It should be technically the most advanced programme in the world in the area of environmental monitoring, helping to ensure greater security for European citizens and a better system of humanitarian aid, contributing to the sustainable development of the EU and, last but not least, encouraging innovation. I am concerned that the European Commission decided to transfer the funding of GMES outside the multiannual financial framework, and I do not agree with this step. I am concerned that the GMES programme will lose its European dimension in this way, becoming a mere instrument of individual interests. In its communication on the European programme for Earth monitoring and the programme’s operational activities starting in 2014, the Commission stated that it was committed to ensuring the success of the GMES programme, and in this context drew up the communication in order to specify appropriate management and long-term funding of the programme from 2014. I really do hope the Commission will stick to its commitment."@en1
