GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) ist eine Initiative für ein europäisches Beobachtungssystem für Umwelt und Sicherheit GMES wird die Überwachung unserer Umwelt und unserer Ressourcen in ihrer kurz-, mittel- und langfristigen Entwicklung ermöglichen und künftige politische und Investitionsentscheidungen verbessern helfen. Viele Informationsdienste laufen heute noch nicht, weil kontinuierliche Beobachtungen fehlen. GMES soll mit Informationen, die von weltumspannenden Satellitensystemen und Messstationen am Boden gewonnen werden, die Situation verbessern und die europäische Dienstleistungsindustrie für Geo-Information stärken. Von GMES als integriertem System sollen auch die europäischen Bürger profitieren in Bezug auf mehr Beteiligung an Maßnahmen zur Qualität GMES ihrer Workshop, Umwelt Salzburg, 4-5 und Dec.06, ihrer P.Weissenberg Sicherheit / W.Steinborn, EC/DG-ENTR

2 Political agenda Endorsement by the EU Gothenburg Summit June 2001 Release of the EU Strategy for Sustainable Development Launch of the initial Period of GMES Political engagement to supply tangible services by : Report on the GMES initial period 2 nd Space Council - June 2005: GMES identified as a flagship of European technological innovation (after GALILEO) GMES part of the Lisbon Strategy for Growth & Jobs GMES: from concept to reality [COM(2005)565, 10/11/05] At a time when command and appropriate use of information has important geo-strategic implications, Europe needs to have available a capacity which allows it independently to evaluate its policy responses in a reliable and timely manner. GMES aims at coordinating existing systems, producing services of guaranteed validity and, crucially, ensuring their future continuity aimed at strengthening the participation and commitment of the relevant user communities. The three services already proposed to the EU and ESA Member States in the GMES Advisory Council are: Emergency Response, Land Monitoring, and Marine GMES Services. Workshop, Salzburg, 4-5 Dec.06, P.Weissenberg / W.Steinborn, EC/DG-ENTR

3 GMES: goals & players GMES aims to develop information and support services: to European policies: environment, CAP, security, maritime, regional... to EU international commitments: protocols and conventions to corresponding national or regional policies or commitments GMES should: Realise an End-to-end information chain from observations to inventories whose outputs users can assimilate to their models, make the maximum use of existing EO systems, harmonise current initiatives (complement INSPIRE), support the development of new capacity where needed. Strengthen, by fulfilling in the beginning mostly public needs, the competitiveness of EU service providers of geographic content on the world market Be the European contribution to the Global Earth Observing System In this EU-led initiative, - ESA will implement the space component and the - EC will identify and develop services relying both on in-situ and remote sensing data. - Service operation GMES Workshop, can Salzburg, be shared 4-5 Dec.06, between P.Weissenberg public / W.Steinborn, agencies EC/DG-ENTR and industry (PPP European policies to be addressed by GMES The Water Framework Directive; The Community Biodiversity Strategy; the Habitats Directive; Natura2000; The Common Agricultural Policy (Agri-environmental regulation, New Guidelines for Rural Development, CAP evaluations ); Common Fisheries Policy; European Strategy for Integrated Coastal Zone Management; Community Structural Policies (European Spatial Development Perspective Territorial Cohesion); European Thematic Strategy on Urban Environment and Sustainable Land Use; the Noise Directive; European Thematic Strategy on Soil Protection; the Waste Directive; European Forest Strategy; UN-ECE Long Range Trans-boundary Air Pollution deposition and dispersion modelling; EU reporting under the Kyoto Protocol; INSPIRE (INfrastructure GMES Workshop, Salzburg, for 4-5 SPatial Dec.06, P.Weissenberg InfoRmation / W.Steinborn, in Europe); EC/DG-ENTR

4 Reporting Obligations by MS towards EU (UN) GMES Bureau: main tasks The EC has set up (June 2006) a GMES Bureau within DG-ENTR, with 16 (potential) user DG s in the Steering Committee, to strengthen the management of GMES. Its tasks are: identification of a strategy for GMES, becoming the focal point for the coordination of the Commission s GMES-related activities and the consolidation of user needs; development of GMES pilot services, in interaction with user entities, starting with the fast track services; and support to the management of on-going and future research and technology development activities.

5 GMES Fast-Track Services to implement the three services as further defined at respective user workshops: Land Monitoring (20/21 Oct.05) Marine Information (27/28 Oct.05) Emergency Response (7/8 Nov.05) 3 Implementation Groups have been established (~6 stakeholders from the major European user communities in each group) Chairs: Land: Dietmar Grünreich / D, president BKG, past president Eurogeographics Marine: Peter Ryder / UK, past deputy chief executive of the Met. Office, Chairman of EuroGOOS Emergency: Bernardo de Bernardinis / I, Director of the Civil Protection (representing European Civil Protection Agencies) Possible further activities Development of further GMES pilot services (e.g. Atmosphere, Security). Stimulation of downstream (tailormade) services

Coherent policy monitoring EU and Member States Benefit of scale (28% of CORINE-2000 satellite images were shared by more than 1 country; percentage for regions probably still higher) Information more quickly available -> improved decision-making cycle EU compatibility of products for use at different geographic levels (i.e regional / cross-border) Reduction of interfacing to data sources ( Geospatial one stop ) Harmonisation of geospatial information (in correlation with INSPIRE) Long-term guarantee of operational services -> reducing downstream investment RTD support will enhance take up of space technologies by innovative (local) SMEs -> increased competitiveness

8 GMES & European Regions Present Activities: 06/10/06: The Council adopted the Community Strategic Guidelines on Cohesion with references to GMES included (creating a basis to use GMES services in structural measures); 09/11/06: GMES was adopted as one of 30 Themes for modernisation in Comm. Hübner s initiative Regions for economic change. Ideas are eligible for ERDF funding (total budget 375 Mio); Political backing from the Committee of Regions and the initiative European User Regions for Space it supports (= Graz -Effect); Continued exchange with DG-REGIO to accompany the Urban Audit Programme with elements of the GMES Land Core Service (private sector, e.g. TeleAtlas, involved in data exchange);
