GMES Security Dimension - Policy
REGULATION (EU) No 911/2010
(art. 23) Security services are an important part of the GMES initiative. Europe will
benefit from the use of space and in-situ assets in support of the implementation of
services responding to the challenges which Europe is facing in the security field,
notably border control, maritime surveillance and support to Union external actions.
GMES Security Dimension - Policy
GMES will contribute to serve EU security needs.
The key areas identified until now are the following:
• Support to EUROSUR (Border Surveillance)
• Support to EU External Actions (SEA)
• Maritime Surveillance
• Homeland Security
EUSC supports service development (FP7 projects).
EUSC supports GMES Security Dimension: expertise provided to
GMES Bureau working groups on Security and to ESA studies
related to the S of GMES.

GMES Security Dimension
The Situation today.
 Industry developed useful pre-operational services in FP7 projects,
 GMES BUREAU is working on the definition of GMES Services in support to
Security,
 ESA is working on Space Component related issues (ground stations, etc)
 Emergency services are starting initial operations with a rather clear
“governance” including coordination of user’s requests, management of quota,
authorised users, etc.
The challenges for a sustainable GMES Security Dimension




-
Need of sustainable financial resources (e.g. discussion on MFF)
Further develop the services (4 projects funded by FP7 to start in 2012/13)
Data security policy (more sensitive for services dedicated to security)
The governance:
structured dialog between EEAS/DG ENTR/ESA/EDA/EUSC
BRIDGES project (Fp7 CSA funded by the EC) supports the Commission

BRIDGES (CSA on GMES Security Dimension)
Duration: 2 Years
Budget: 1 M€

BRIDGES: Support for the work on the governance
GOVERNANCE …
1 – Governance relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes
and decision-rights for a given area of responsibility.
A fair governance implies that mechanisms function in a way that allows the executives (the
"agents") to respect the rights and interests of the stakeholders (the "principals"), in a spirit of
democracy.
(source Wikipedia)
2 – The BRIDGES project will propose in a constant dialogue with Stakeholders
(respecting their rights and interests) sustainable Governance scenarios for the GMES
Security Dimension.
European Union Satellite Centre © 2012
BRIDGES: PHASE 1 – Analysis of current situation
 Analysis of relevant existing governance models in the
Space and non-Space domain
(e.g. Galileo, ORFEO, TerraSAR-X, GMES Emergency, EMSA, etc.)
 Background and operational Service Delivery scenarios
(experience of Industry and previous FP7 projects)
The role that the EUSC may play in GMES Security dimension
as a facilitator is a variable to take into consideration
(e.g. Technical coordination of the services provided by the Industry for the S of
GMES is foreseen as well as quality control, validation (certification) and user’s
interface.)

BRIDGES IS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE TO bring all the work already done by the
EUSC and other stakeholder in the Security Dimension of GMES to the operational status in
2014
The definition of the role of the EUSC is fundamental for ensuring an efficient use of an
existing operational agency with a long-lasting experience with users needs.
