2. Stresses the need, before deciding on new initiatives and EU budget contributions, to clarify first the EU’s level of ambition especially with regard to its strategic and geopolitical objectives; notes the fact that the communication does not define the relationship between EU space industrial policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP); believes that EU space policy should be seen as an asset to the CSDP, providing a better synergy between civilian space means and military space means mirroring the CSDP’s own dual civilian and military role; calls on the Commission, the Member ...[+++] States and the VP/HR to define clearly the potential contribution of this sector to CSDP, the nature and degree of civil-military synergies, the role for such technologies in the effective deployment of humanitarian aid operations and for predicting migration flows and patterns following conflicts or natural disasters, and the relevance for CSDP missions and operations and other EU actions in the field of conflict prevention, arms control, the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) technologies, counter-terrorism, migration and border control; calls on the Commission and the Member States to inform Parliament about plans to use the Copernicus programme and the public-regulated service of the Galileo programme in support of CSDP missions and operations;

F. whereas at present there is still not sufficient coordination of measures in the field of space policy between the EU, the Member States and the ESA, and whereas this has resulted in duplication of structures and prevented synergies from being sufficiently exploited; stresses that the introduction of a clear governance framework in the space sector would make for huge efficiency savings;

10. Calls on the Commission to probe more deeply into the common policies (on transport, research and technology, agriculture, the environment, and security) for which space policy provides support and which constitute the key areas of public demand, bearing in mind that it is impossible to ignore the fact that, no matter what part of the world might be concerned, investment in space policy needs public resources but that this could be enhanced by involving the private sector; believes, in part ...[+++]icular, that the Commission should investigate the potential for more novel and cheaper space concepts, by the offer of a prize, such as that offered in the USA for a successful sub-orbital passenger flight;
