The EU Space Act: a call for true strategic fairness

Before we start, a caveat: The following opinion is only relevant in a situation where the EU, together with its member states, would eventually decide to invest enough to equip itself with space capabilities commensurate with Europe’s economic importance, the role it wants to play in the world and current security threats (meaning: significantly more than what is invested today, and in a significantly more coherent manner). In short, there is no need to regulate the sector with an EU Space Act if we do not invest more and better at the same time.
