Access to space is a strategic Union interest. Ensuring uninterrupted access rather than merely 'fostering' it — reflects the level of political ambition required by the current geopolitical and industrial context.The Steering Board originally proposed by the Commission is insufficient to underpin a European access-to-space strategy. A joint EU-ESA-Member States committee is necessary to coordinate programming, demand aggregation and long-term industrial investment decisions.

|---|---|
| 2 a. The work programmes implementing activities under Article 1(2)(d) relating to space connectivity infrastructure shall ensure that governmental users carrying out defence, national security, border management, crisis management and maritime surveillance missions are granted priority access to the capacity made available under IRIS² and the governmental satellite communications service established pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2023/588. The Commission, in cooperation with the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and Member States, shall define the conditions for priority access in the work programme, including any security accreditation requirements, not later than 12 months after the entry into force of this Regulation. |
Or. en
Justification
IRIS² and GOVSATCOM were conceived as governmental secure connectivity services, with defence and national security as their primary use cases. The Commission proposal funds them under Window 4 but does not secure priority access for defence users in the work programme architecture. The amendment remedies this by establishing a priority-access obligation for governmental defence users, operationalising the White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030's requirement for assured sovereign connectivity and reinforcing the Regulation's strategic-autonomy objective under Article 3(2)(d).

Those obligations shall apply also in the event of failure or loss of any satellite or other operational asset; the entrustment agreements concluded under Article 74 shall provide for the maintenance of operational service levels under such circumstances and for adequate provisions for the replacement of failed assets. |
Or. en
Justification
Operational space services (Galileo, PRS, EGNOS, Copernicus, IRIS², GOVSATCOM) can no longer be provided on a best-effort basis. Minimum service obligations per component and service, applicable also in the event of satellite failure, are indispensable to the credibility of the Union's critical space infrastructures. Service continuity must be guaranteed even in the event of satellite or asset failure. Requiring entrustment agreements to provide for the maintenance of operational service levels and for replacement of failed assets transforms resilience from a policy aspiration into a contractual obligation.

Article 73 – paragraph 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 a. Notwithstanding any general co-financing rule applicable under this Regulation, a co-financing rate of 100% shall apply exclusively to space programme actions that the Commission, on the basis of a joint assessment with Member States carried out pursuant to Article 14, has identified as being of critical strategic security relevance, including actions related to space surveillance and tracking, early warning, secure governmental communications, launch capability preservation and critical space infrastructure protection. The Commission shall publish the criteria for this determination in the relevant work programme and shall report annually to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of this paragraph |
Or. en
Justification
The 100% co-financing rate applicable to certain space programme components under existing Union space legislation serves a specific purpose: ensuring that actions of critical strategic importance are not hostage to national budgetary cycles. The amendment preserves this logic while preventing its generalisation - which would dilute the leverage of Union funding and conflict with Member States' fiscal interest in programme discipline. The criterion of "critical strategic security relevance", determined jointly with Member States via the governance body under Article 14, aligns with the Council's conclusions on space security and the Union Space Programme Regulation.
