Since Copernicus is a complex programme, the Commission should be assisted by independent experts from a broad constituency of stakeholders, including in particular experts nominated by Member States on security issues, representatives of relevant national entities responsible for space and Copernicus users, to provide it with the necessary technical and scientific expertise, as well as inter-disciplinary and cross-sectoral perspectives, taking account of relevant existing initiatives at Union, national and regional levels.

54. Recalls that dual-use capabilities are necessary for the implementation of the CSDP, in light of the complex security challenges in today’s world; stresses that the current crises in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa have highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach that harnesses, on the one hand, the full range of civilian-military engagement and, on the other, dual-use equipment and capacities, including European naval capabilities and civilian and military shipbuilding capacities ensuring vessel security and resilience; invites the Member States to work with the appropriate EU bodies and agencies, notably the Commission, th ...[+++]e EDA and the European Space Agency (ESA) in seeking EU funding for dual-use capability development, which is a way to fill in capability gaps at the national, regional and Union level; recalls the dual-use potential of the Galileo programme and its value for the implementation and effectiveness of CSDP operations, particularly in the maritime domain; stresses nonetheless that priority should be given to more transparency, efficiency and multilateral approaches in the field of capability development;

The report advocates further militarization of the EU; encourages (space -) armament, increased investment in security, defence and military research and equipment despite the financial and economical crises and environmental impact; it fosters the Military Industrial Complex and enhances an intensified EU-NATO cooperation including an increased cost and "burden-sharing".

2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution, insufficiently regulated, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification, possible changes in the circulation of ocean currents as well as the spatial distribution of live aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans etc) and their spread ...[+++]along the water column; moreover recalls that scientific models predict further increases in atmospheric temperature and average sea level and that the most effective way to tackle climate change is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;

However, many others are making contributions and I am very pleased to see that specialist space technology is increasingly being developed in a number of Member States, particularly the new Member States, by small and medium-sized companies which are providing often extremely complex and highly advanced products and services.

He will also tour different areas to see, on the spot, the difficulties with which they are confronted and the state of progress of projects carried out with the assistance of Community funds: the extension and modernization of ports and airports, for instance, in particular at Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre, the technology park in Martinique, hotel complexes in Guadeloupe, vocational training facilities and environmental protection schemes in French Guiana. While in French Guiana, Mr Millan will be visiting the Space Centre at Kourou, the launch site for the Ariane programme initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and developed ...[+++]by the company ARIANESPACE; the latter has placed in orbit more than 50 telecommunications and remote sensing satellites in recent years, i.e. half the world market in such launches. The European Community for its part is financing research to develop the use of space technology in both fields, telecommunications and remote observation of the Earth.
