“Europe requires higher investment, both public and private, and a regulatory environment that is flexible, transparent and facilitates private activities and commercialisation. This is to foster growth in the European market and industrial ecosystem but also to reinforce its position towards its main competitors and to support long-term competitiveness and reduce over-dependencies on non-European technologies, infrastructures, commercial operators and services in critical fields.
Europe as a 21ˢᵗ century space power: for a competitive, autonomous and ambitious European space policy.
