Bakgrunn
(fra kommisjonsbeslutningen)
(1) Pursuant to Article 63 of Regulation (EU) 2021/696, the provision of capacities and services from the Governmental Satellite Communications (‘GOVSATCOM’) component is to be ensured in accordance with GOVSATCOM security requirements. Some of those requirements can only be complied with by governmental services for the sole use of a Member State and provided by systems under the control of Member States. It is therefore important to update the GOVSATCOM service portfolio to clarify the characteristics of the systems providing governmental services.
(2) Satellite communication is a finite resource limited by available satellite capacity, frequency and geographical coverage. Under the GOVSATCOM component, these communications are combined using a common Union pool of satellite communication capacities and services. Article 64 of Regulation (EU) 2021/696 provides that such capacities and services may be provided by GOVSATCOM participants as referred to in Article 68 of that Regulation and legal persons duly accredited in accordance with the security accreditation procedure referred to in Article 37 of that Regulation. Among GOVSATCOM participants, only Member States can currently provide enhanced and robust services through governmental satellite communication capacities under their control.
(3) Following two calls for expression of interest sent to all Member States in 2022 and 2024, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain have proposed governmental satellite communication capacities and Cyprus and Poland have proposed ground infrastructure to populate the common Union pool referred to in Article 62 of Regulation (EU) 2021/696.
(4) However, as other Member States may propose additional governmental solutions or could develop new systems in the future, the Commission should regularly review Member States capacities and update the service portfolio of GOVSATCOM for the benefits of its users.
(5) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1054 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Programme committee established under Article 107 of the Regulation (EU) 2021/696,
