EARSC gathers the inputs of its members on how the downstream EO sector can contribute to various EU initiatives. These statements, reflecting the industry's views and recommendations, are submitted in response to the European Commission's open consultations with the objective to include EO capabilities in support of the achievements of European policies.
In the context of the activities carried out by the Copernicus Working Group, EARSC has produced a Position paper (see attached) on the evolution of Copernicus.
The European Commission is currently working on a roadmap to address the the modernisation strategy of Copernicus and requested a document presenting the industry. EARSC has produced a Position paperon the evolution of Copernicus presenting the industry's views on the 3 pillarsmentioned by Commissioner Breton: 1- Digitalisation 2-Contribution to the Green Deal 3- Security/Resilience.The paper will be disseminated to the European Commission and our stakeholders. It will also be promoted on our social media and available on the EARSC website. Our next action will be to set up an in-person meeting with DG DEFIS to present the paper, its recommendations and make sure that it has a significant impact.

The European Earth Observation (EO) Services industry welcomes the ambitious objectives set by the New European Forest Strategy alongside other EU Policy initiatives aiming at improving the quantity and quality of Europe's forests by 2030. Earth Observation capabilities, by delivering near-real time, consistent and tree-level information of the world's forests are a crucial tool to deliver Europe's forests goals. EARSC members are convinced that the urgency to act calls for action; it can be done now, at scale and with unprecedented precision, at high-cost efficiency. Against this context, the EARSC Position Paper on forest management (attached) strongly advocates for the systematic integration of EO data and services as operational tools in the design, implementation and evaluation of all ongoing and upcoming legislative and policy initiatives in the field of environmental protection, with particular regards to forests, biodiversity and the sustainability of supply chains.
