One market & one rulebook for #EUSpace! ⚖️🛰️ To reduce collisions, tackle debris and cybersecurity threats, and cut costly risks, we need clear, common rules. With the EU Space Act, we’re taking bold steps to make space safer, more resilient, and more sustainable. ⤵️

EU proves that defence is the most important strategic priority. We propose to allocate €131 bn to defence, security and space projects within the European Competitiveness Fund. It’s 5X more than in today’s budget. This is a real deterrence! 🇪🇺will be defence-ready!
