RUNNING ACTIVITIES AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Paul Counet Head of Strategy and International Relations

European Inter-parliamentary Space Conference (EISC) Madrid, 21 September 2015 EUMETSAT’s Mission

. The primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites, taking into account as far as possible the recommendations of WMO

. A further objective is to contribute to the operational monitoring of the climate and the detection of global climatic changes

. Instruments: mandatory programmes (EPS and Meteosat) and, since 2000, optional programmes (Jason-3, Jason-CS) and third-party programmes (Copernicus)

BENEFIT AREA LIKELY

Protection of property and infrastructure € 6.0 billion

Added value to the European economy € 45.2billion

Private use by European citizens € 11.5 billion

TOTAL € 63 billion

Benefit to cost ratio is in the order of 20

7 EISC, Madrid, 23 March 2015 EUM/SIR/VWG/15/798954 EUMETSAT – EC cooperation in support of Copernicus

• Data service provider for Copernicus Marine, Atmosphere and Climate Change services from EUMETSAT-own, Copernicus Sentinels (S-3 Marine, S-4, S-5 and JCS/ S-6) and third-party missions

• Building on existing operational EUMETSAT infrastructure

• Agreement with the EU signed on 7 November 2014

8 EISC, Madrid, 23 March 2015 EUM/SIR/VWG/15/798954 Evolution of European Space Policy

• The role of operational public entities might be more properly reflected in a revised ESP – This is true for Copernicus, but also for other EU Flagship programmes

• In the Earth Observation domain, Copernicus shall not challenge existing and successful cooperation models involving non EU entities (i.e. ESA – EUMETSAT cooperation model)

9 EISC, Madrid, 23 March 2015 EUM/SIR/VWG/15/798954 EUMETSAT Challenges 2025

Ensure continuity of services and deliver programmes in an evolving context :

• Globally : new operational programmes

• In Europe : Copernicus is a reality

• In EUMETSAT users : MET services moving towards MET and Climate services

• Big data and SSA challenges

• Emergence of private sector
