Policy Debate on “Transitioning to a More Commercial and Sustainable European Space” at the occasion of the informal joint meeting of the EU Council and the ESA Council at Ministerial Level at the Space Summit on 7 November 2023 – G uiding Q uestions – This informal joint EU-ESA meeting explores how space could best contribute to advance sustainable and green European policy ambitions and how to ensure a pioneering role for Europe in safeguarding the Earth and space environment for future generations. Against the backdrop of the rising role of private sector activities, it also opens up a debate on how to maximize the innovation potential of growing commercialization in the European space sector through strengthening the public sector’s role as customer of space-related services and data. Session I: Drawing on space activities to advance sustainable and Green policy objectives During this session, Ministers are invited to reflect on and discuss the following questions: What kind of political, regulatory and programmatic actions of the EU, ESA and their respective Member States are needed to harness the full potential of space activities to advance Green European sustainable policy ambitions in terms of ( i ) sustainability on Earth and contribution to climate neutrality, and (ii) sustainability in space? Given the central role of Copernicus in delivering on the flagship initiatives of EU Green Deal, including the Net Zero Industrial Act, what are the possible options to address the current Copernicus funding needs and tap into its full potential? Session II: Increasing commercialization through more competition and innovative procurement During this session, Ministers are invited to reflect on and discuss the following questions: In what areas of the European space sector could increase d commerciali s ation, based on competitive, innovative procurement and service-based approaches, add the most value? What concrete steps are needed in order to strengthen private sector engagement across different segments of the European space sector? What implications or benefits would the implement ation of an anchor customer model by the public sector entail, with the EU, ESA and their Member States as main public users of space-based and launch services ?

Dear Minister,

The Space Summit builds on previous efforts to advance the coherent and progressive
development of an overall European space policy as well as to strengthen the collaboration
between all European space actors. This year's joint informal meeting is called to address
major opportunities and challenges currently faced by the European space sector: the
contributions of European space activities to address climate change and advance Europe's
Green transition as well as to strengthen competition in the European space sector, for a more
sustainable Eu ropean space ecosystem, ecologically a nd economica lly.
A Presidencies Declaration jointly prepared by the Presidency of the Council of the European
Union and the Chair of the European Space Agency's Council at Ministerial Level will
summarize the understanding resulting from the discussion.
