Space-based secure connectivity and new space: a European industrial path towards sovereignty and innovation

In elaborazione (updated on 13/05/2022)
Riferimento: 
CCMI/196-EESC-2022
Rapporteur: 
Maurizio MENSI (Diversity Europe - GR III / Italy)
Co-rapporteur: 
Franck UHLIG (France)

The EU is acting on its space ambitions by addressing two pressing issues: space-based secure connectivity and Space Traffic Management. Space technology is essential to facilitating our daily lives and contributing to a more digital, green and resilient future for our planet.

The EU's Space Programme already provides valuable data and services for a wide array of daily applications, in support of transport, agriculture, crisis response or the fight against climate change, among many others.

However, the EU’s space policy needs to constantly evolve and adapt to new challenges to continue enjoying the benefits space brings to our citizens. These new proposals will help safeguard the efficiency and security of our current assets, while developing cutting-edge space technology to strengthen the European space power.

Digital identity, data sovereignty and the path towards a just digital transition for citizens living in the information society

In elaborazione (updated on 05/05/2022)

TEN/773-EESC-2022

European citizens are interested in developments in the implementation of digital technology solutions, with a view to simplifying the necessary administrative procedures in relation to the authorities or in everyday life in society. A digitally literate population can benefit, through digital identity, from simplified access to the services provided by public authorities or the business environment.

The advantages of digitalisation are obvious, but the rapid implementation of digital systems, and making citizens' access to some services of general interest conditional on having a digital identity, could in practice lead to a significant number of European citizens being denied the right to access these services.

Digital Sovereignty: a crucial pillar for EU’s digitalisation and growth

In elaborazione (updated on 28/04/2022)
Riferimento: 
INT/980-EESC-2022-02134
Rapporteur: 
Philip VON BROCKDORFF (Workers - GR II / Malta)

This opinion will look into how digital sovereignty is critical for the EU to reach digital targets and could be a game changer in the single market. Digital sovereignty would help boost the EU's potential strengths and address strategic weaknesses in the tech sphere. It would also widen the use of open markets and supply chains to avoid an over-reliance on proprietary systems.
