Proposal for a regulation

Article 43 – paragraph 1 – introductory part

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
1. The Compliance Board shall be responsible for:1. The Compliance Board is established within the Agency. It shall assist the Agency in the preparation and internal review of decisions under Articles 6, 17, 18, 22, 54, 55 and 56, taking due account of the technical opinions referred to in Article 8.

Or. en

Justification

The Compliance Board's role is redefined: from an decision-proposing body to an internal review body assisting the Agency in the preparation and quality control of its decisions. This is consistent with the Agency's status as the primary decision-maker: the Compliance Board provides internal technical rigour without creating a parallel decision-making track.

Or. en

Justification

The Agency, not the Commission, exercises supervision of all operators subject to the EUSA system. Under the Commission text, the Commission supervised a narrow set of Union-owned asset operators while competent national authorities supervised everyone else. The revised provision gives the Agency primary supervisory responsibility, consistent with the Agency's role as the single authorisation and registration authority.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 56 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
1. Where the Agency proposes, pursuant to Article 54(1), first subparagraph, in respect to a Union space operator of Union owned-assets or a space services provider referred to in Article 48(1), points (b) and (c), that the Commission imposes a fine or a periodic penalty payment, for an infringement of this Regulation, the Commission may impose within the decision finding an infringement a fine or a periodic penalty payment, in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.1. The Agency may, in the decision adopted pursuant to Article 54(1), impose on any operator registered in URSA a fine or periodic penalty payment where that operator has, intentionally or negligently, infringed the requirements of this Regulation.

Or. en

Justification

The Agency directly imposes fines and periodic penalty payments by decision, without the intermediary Commission step. The fine ceiling — twice profits gained/losses avoided or 10% of worldwide annual turnover — provides meaningful deterrence for commercial operators of all sizes.

Article58a
Real-time operational safety authority
1. The competent authority, or officials duly authorised by it for this purpose, may at any time during the launch phase give instructions and impose all measures which they consider necessary in the interest of the safety of persons and property and the protection of public health and the environment, including the activation of the on-board neutralisation system referred to in Article 60(4).
2. The competent authority or the authorised officials shall consult the launch operator prior to issuing instructions pursuant to paragraph 1, except where there is immediate danger.
3. The launch operator shall comply immediately with the instructions issued pursuant to paragraph 1. Non-compliance shall constitute a ground for the suspension or withdrawal of the authorisation pursuant to Article 30(6).
4. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 113 to establish the procedures for the exercise of the powers referred to in paragraph 1, including the chain of command between the competent authority, the launch site operator, the Air Navigation Service Providers and the Union collision avoidance space services provider.

Or. en

Justification

The real-time operational safety authority conferred on the competent authority — including the power to instruct activation of on-board neutralisation systems — formalises a power that every responsible launch authority exercises de facto when a launch vehicle departs from its planned trajectory. Encoding it explicitly in Union law provides legal certainty for both the authority and the operator, establishes the coordination chain with air navigation service providers, and transforms a patchwork of informal national emergency protocols into a coherent Union-wide standard.

Launch operators shall conduct a launch collision avoidance assessment before each launch and re-entry operation in accordance with the requirements of Annex I.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 59 – paragraph 2 – point c a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(c a) where the launch vehicle incorporates reusable elements whose recovery is planned within the launch phase, the implementation of safety measures for the recovery phase, including:
(i) the designation of recovery exclusion zones on land and at sea, and the notification procedures for their activation;
(ii) the coordination with the relevant maritime and civil aviation authorities for the closure of sea lanes and airspace in the recovery area;
(iii) the definition of abort and contingency procedures for failed recovery attempts, including the measures to protect third parties in the event of an uncontrolled landing;
(iv) the inclusion of the recovery phase in the risk assessment carried out pursuant to Article 60(3) and in the Launch Safety Plan submitted pursuant to Article 58.

Or. en

Justification

Reusable launch vehicle recovery operations involve specific safety risks — debris impact in case of recovery failure, coordination with maritime authorities and civil aviation in the designated recovery zone — that existing launch safety rules do not address. Adding recovery phase safety measures to the required list ensures comprehensive coverage of the full operational cycle of reusable launchers.

(a) develop the method to calculate the LCOLA, based on the probability of collision which shall be adapted depending on the object of interest size, and on whether the spacecraft is habitable or active;
(b) select, among existing methods, and develop, a new method for the calculation of the collective risk for casualties due to launch and re-entry, with due consideration for the following elements:
(i) all the phenomena leading to a risk of catastrophic damage (ascent phase, fallout from stage after separation, re-entry into the atmosphere of a deck put into orbit, recovery phase of a reusable deck);
(ii) pre-fragmentation trajectories (atmospheric or in outer space), depending on the flight times and faults considered;
(iii) the corresponding fragmentation and debris generation scenarios, at the re-entry or at the moment of neutralisation of the launch vehicle and the return to Earth of any element of the launcher;
(iv) the dispersion on the ground of the debris and the evaluation of the effects thereof;
(v) the reliability of the launch vehicle for the launch phase, including, where applicable, during the recovery phase;
(vi) the reliability of the deorbiting manoeuvre of the launcher element put into orbit, in the case of controlled re-entry;
(c) establish the thresholds for the casualty risks, in accordance with point 1.3, point (b), of Annex I, for the mentioned risk scenarios;
(d) set up the minimum coordination requirements between the Union launch operator, the collision avoidance space services provider, the competent authorities and traffic services providers to assess the impact of launch operations on other air traffic services during the launch and re-entry phases and to minimise the disruption.
Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 114(2).

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(a a) for launches deploying a single spacecraft, the total number of launch vehicle orbital stages and resulting debris objects placed in orbit and not immediately disposed of shall not exceed one;

Or. en

Justification

Capping the number of launch vehicle orbital stages and debris objects placed in orbit per single-launch mission addresses a specific debris generation source that the Commission text does not cover. Each launch that places multiple unconstrained debris objects directly increases orbital congestion; the cap is a proportionate, per-launch mitigation measure.

Or. ro

Justification

The development of the space sector and the launch of an increasing number of satellites calls for effective measures for the disposal of these space objects in question at the end of their operational lifetime.
