✅ Full recognition of space as a critical infrastructure and a pillar of European sovereignty. ✅ A dedicated and ambitious budget of at least €60 billion for space in the future European Competitiveness Fund. ✅ A European preference in institutional procurement for critical activities and technologies underpinning European strategic autonomy, applied where security, resilience and dependency concerns warrant it. European preference should not lead to the automatic exclusion of trusted third-country partners as long as the design authority remains under European control. While respecting these principles, cooperation with trusted third-country partners should remain possible where it strengthens European capabilities, interoperability, security of supply and reciprocal market access. ✅ Interoperability of space capabilities while preserving competitiveness and innovation. ✅ A regulatory framework that remains proportionate and oriented towards European industry's competitiveness. https://www.gifas.fr/en/news/gifas-bdli-and-aiad-issue-a-joint-statement-on-the-future-of-the-european-space-industry-6aa11746bf377
