European Economic
and Social Committee
European Space Programme
Key points:
The EESC supports the EU in its efforts to remain a major independent space power and agrees with it acquiring financial resources commensurate with its ambitions.
The EESC also:
- welcomes the importance attached to "space surveillance and tracking" and to the Govsatcom system;
- calls for close attention to be given to the project of extracting and retrieving natural resources outside the earth's orbit (space mining);
- proposes an appropriate campaign, so that citizens realise the added value of European space activities, which are present in their daily lives.
