Amendment 1294

Christophe Grudler, Morten Løkkegaard, Anna Stürgkh, Martin Hojsík, Sigrid Friis

Proposal for a regulation

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 15

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(15) ‘space services provider’ means a provider of space services covered by this Regulation;	Amendment(15) ‘space services provider’ means a space operator or a primary provider of space-based data, providing the services defined in point (14);

Or. en

Justification

Adding 'space-based data' to the definition of space services provider ensures that primary providers of space-based data — a distinct category established separately — are explicitly covered by the Regulation's obligations. The Commission text created a gap between data provision and service provision that this amendment closes.

Amendment 1310

Christophe Grudler, Morten Løkkegaard, Anna Stürgkh, Martin Hojsík, Sigrid Friis

Proposal for a regulation

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(17) ‘Union space operator’ means a space operator established in the Union, or controlled by a natural person or a legal person that is a space services provider established in the Union;	Amendmentdeleted

Or. en

Justification

The 'Union space operator' sub-category is operationally redundant in the context of the centralised EUSA authorisation system. The regulatory work done by this definition — distinguishing EU-established from non-EU operators — is handled through the authorisation and registration articles, not through a definitional sub-category.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 19

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(19) ‘third country space operator’ means a space operator established in a third country which carries out any of the following:	Amendmentdeleted
Text proposed by the Commission(a) provides space services to Union space operators, or in relation to the space assets defined in points (20) and (21),
Text proposed by the Commission(b) acts itself as a primary provider of space-based data, or
Text proposed by the Commission(c) provides services to primary providers of space-based data;

Or. en

Justification

The full definition is replaced by the simplified market access rule: third-country operators providing services in the Union register in URSA. The detailed definitional sub-categories are no longer needed in light of the streamlined registration architecture.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 32 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(32 a) 'launch phase' means the period of time which, in the context of a space operation, begins when launch operations become irreversible and which ends, unless otherwise specified in the authorisation granted pursuant to this Regulation, at the separation of the launcher and the object intended to be placed in outer space. The launch phase includes, where applicable, the recovery of reusable elements of the launch vehicle.

Or. en

Justification

Defining the launch phase as the period from when launch operations become irreversible to the point specified in the authorisation provides clear legal certainty for the scope of the real-time safety authority (Article 58a) and the insurance obligation (Article 61a). Without a defined launch phase, the temporal scope of these obligations would be contested.

Clarifying that end of life is the instant when a spacecraft has completed its designed tasks (not when it is switched off) provides a cleaner operational trigger for end-of-life obligations.

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 51

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(51) ‘effective technical control’ means the assurance of a space operator that a space object only executes commands transmitted by authorized sources and that those commands are executed in the proper order and at the intended moment;	Amendmentdeleted

Or. en

Christophe Grudler, Morten Løkkegaard, Anna Stürgkh, Martin Hojsík, Sigrid Friis

Proposal for a regulation

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 51 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment(51 a) 'effective control' means the legal, technical and operational ability to ensure the continuous direction, security, maintenance and recovery of the functions essential to the conduct of a space activity, including by preventing any unilateral suspension, denial, override or material alteration of those functions by a third-country entity.

Or. en

Justification

The new 'effective control' definition is the operative concept for the security filter (Article 7a) and Recital 20a: the legal, technical and operational ability to ensure the continuous direction, security, maintenance and recovery of space functions. This broader definition than the pure 'effective technical control' of the Commission text correctly reflects the multi-dimensional nature of the control verification required at authorisation.

Article 6 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. Union space operators shall not provide space services unless they have obtained in a Member State an authorisation to carry out space activities which demonstrate compliance with the requirements laid down in Title IV, Chapters I to V, as applicable, depending on the category of space operator concerned.

1. A Union space operator may only provide a space service within the Union where it is in possession of a valid EUSA authorisation issued by the Agency in accordance with this Chapter, demonstrating compliance with the requirements laid down in Title IV, Chapters I to V, as applicable, depending on the category of space operator concerned, and that the operator provides the necessary guarantees of reliability, professional competence and financial capacity for the safe and continuous conduct of the relevant space activity.

Or. en

Justification

The shift from 27 national competent authorities to a single Agency issuing a 'EUSA authorisation' valid throughout the Union is the central simplification of the package. Under the Commission text, an operator active in multiple Member States required multiple national authorisations. The EUSA replaces all of these with a single procedure, a single technical assessment and a single compliance certificate. This is the single market for space the industry has been asking for.

Amendment 1450

Article 6 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. A Union space operator may only provide a space service within the Union when it possesses valid authorisation issued by the national competent authority of the Member State in which the applicant has its main place of establishment to carry out the space activities necessary for that service. For Union-owned assets, the competent authority issuing the authorisation shall be the Commission. There shall be only one authorisation required per activity.

AmendmentThe Agency shall issue the EUSA authorisation on the basis of the technical opinion issued by the qualified technical body designated pursuant to Article 8.

Or. en

Justification

The Agency issues the EUSA authorisation, acting on the technical opinion of the qualified technical body (ESA under Article 8). This creates a clear two-step process with a defined division of responsibility between technical expertise and legal decision-making. One issuing authority for the whole Union eliminates the inconsistency and delay of 27 separate national procedures.

3. In its application for authorisation, the applicant shall indicate to the competent authority which qualified technical bodies for space activities the applicant intends to use for the technical assessment of the requirements laid down in Title IV, Chapters I to V, as applicable.

3. Within 15 working days of receipt of the application, the Agency shall assess whether the application is complete.

Article 7 – paragraph 3 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

3 a. When assessing the application, the Agency shall, where the space activity concerned is liable, in the event of disruption, degradation, denial, manipulation or loss of effective control, to seriously affect public security, public safety, civil protection, governmental continuity, critical infrastructure, essential services, Union space programmes or the resilience of the Union economy, verify that the operator retains effective control within the Union over the functions essential to the conduct, continuity, security and recovery of that activity.

Compliance with that requirement shall constitute a condition for the granting of the authorisation.

Or. en

Justification

Security review is integrated into the authorisation process: where the space activity could affect public security if disrupted, the Agency verifies effective control within the Union as part of the standard assessment.

The qualified technical body shall assess the fulfilment of the applicable requirements laid down in Title IV, and, within 2 months from the date of notification of completeness referred to in paragraph 3, shall issue a technical opinion to the Agency as to the compliance of the envisaged space activities with those requirements.

Or. en

Justification

Having the technical assessment timeframe from 6 months to 2 months responds directly to industry feedback that the Commission's timeline is commercially unworkable for the satellite manufacturing and launch cycles. The 2-month timeframe is realistic for a single focused qualified technical body with full-time space expertise and dedicated assessment teams.

For the purposes of registration in URSO, a competent authority shall inform the Agency of all authorised Union space operators and primary space services providers and of any third country space operator they have authorised to launch from their territory.	Amendment7.

Text proposed by the Commission	AmendmentSecurity and defence filter for authorisation
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment1. An authorisation shall not be granted where:
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment(a) the applicant is controlled, directly or indirectly, by a natural or legal person of a third country that has been identified as raising security concerns in relation to the security and defence interests of the Union or of one or more Member States; or
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment(b) the space operation for which the authorisation is sought is, having regard to the systems or payloads intended to be used or deployed, liable to jeopardise the security and defence interests of the Union or of one or more Member States, or the compliance by the Union or Member States with their international obligations under the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space.
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment2. Before taking a decision on the basis of paragraph 1, the Agency shall consult the relevant national defence and security authorities. That consultation shall be completed within 60 days of the submission of the complete application file. The Agency may extend that period by a further 30 days where the complexity of the security assessment so requires.
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment3. The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, establish guidelines identifying categories of space operations that may be subject to the examination referred to in paragraph 1(b), taking into account in particular dual-use aspects of payloads or systems, as defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 114(3).

Or. en

Justification

The security filter codifies in law what every responsible authorisation authority already does in practice: verify that operators of security-sensitive space assets are not controlled by third-country interests that could jeopardise EU security or defence. The provision applies where disruption or loss of control could seriously affect public security, critical infrastructure or governmental continuity — the same risk criteria used in EU foreign investment screening.

Article 8 – paragraph 1 – introductory part

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission1. When setting-up the authorisation systems, Member States shall determine whether the technical assessments are to be carried out by:	Amendment1. The qualified technical body for the purposes of this Regulation shall, by default, be the European Space Agency, in accordance with the conditions set out in the arrangement referred to in Article 108.
Text proposed by the Commission	AmendmentThe Commission shall, through the arrangement referred to in Article 108, ensure that the European Space Agency is recognised as a qualified technical body for space activities and that the European Space Agency carries out the technical assessments of compliance with the requirements laid down in Title IV, as applicable.

Or. en

Justification

Designating the European Space Agency as the default qualified technical body replaces a fragmented system in which Member States could independently designate different bodies with varying expertise and capacity. ESA has unmatched technical depth across all space domains, and already applies several standards that form the technical basis of the Regulation. A single expert body provides more rigorous and more consistent technical assessments than a patchwork of national designations.
