"I resolutely voted in favour of the resolution on the future of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme because I share the concerns about the survival and continuation of this project. GMES is one of the Union’s two flagship space initiatives and plays a key role from a political, strategic and technological viewpoint for monitoring climate change, preventing environmental disasters, managing emergencies and organising mobility and energy trading. The Commission’s decision to exclude GMES from the multiannual financial framework and the proposal to fund it through intergovernmental agreements is therefore somewhat perplexing. Despite the fact that several governments within the Council have already voted in favour of maintaining the programme, we cannot completely rule out the risk that the opposition of some countries may scupper it, wasting all the efforts and investments made up to date. Furthermore, the exclusion of Parliament from the decision-making process and, therefore, the absence of democratic participation, would be very disappointing. I hope that the Commission will reconsider its position and decide to listen to Parliament’s call to reintroduce GMES into the multiannual financial framework. Personally, I believe that this could be achieved by making use of a public-private partnership in order to maximise the investment of the Community budget, as was done for the SESAR project."@en1
