The debate on the planned European megaconstellation (“Secure Connectivity<\/a>“) is gaining momentum. In June, the responsible rapporteur of the European Parliament, Christophe Grudler (Renew), presented his position in the Industry Committee. As shadow rapporteur for The Greens\/EFA, I was now able to submit my amendments.<\/p>\n

I am mainly concerned with three points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, I want to make sure that the constellation\u00a0provides real added value for citizens. It must bring satellite-internet<\/strong> to structurally weak regions\u00a0for an affordable price.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The current proposal would allow this, but does not set any explicit incentives.\u00a0That is too vague for me.\u00a0The European Union cannot just\u00a0simply hope that the industry will come up with suitable solutions. It must actively ensure that it happens.<\/p>\n

I propose that the EU acts as an anchor customer and specifically purchases an Internet service. In addition, the constellation should be open to further innovations.<\/p>\n

Second, I want to ensure that the project drives the development of a European New Space<\/strong> economy. We should not just give away a single large contract to a major player.<\/p>\n

There is still a need for discussion here as to which players the New Space industry includes and how they will participate. However, I do not accept the argument that the term was\u00a0too vague. In my amendments, I define New Space as new private players in space that can dramatically reduce costs through innovation. In particular, this applies to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups.<\/p>\n

Third, I am concerned with\u00a0the schedule<\/strong>. While the current proposal calls for initial services by 2024, I propose 2027. This would allow the EU to accurately determine the actual needs of member states in advance and shape the development of the constellation accordingly. In 2027, fresh money would also be available from the new EU budget.<\/p>\n

The next weeks will now be about reaching an agreement. The aim is to be able to put the project to the vote in the Industry Committee in October. This would be followed by joint negotiations with the Commission and the Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
