8. The European Strategy
Potential European participating countries - Czech Republic - Denmark - France - Germany - Italy - Poland - Switzerland - Spain - United Kingdom - (The Netherlands)

9. The European Strategy
European participation coordinated through ESA: - Simplify China-Europe interface (single agreement) - Enable funds flow in the Member States - Get support for item manufacturing and/or procurement with geo-return - Tool: ESA Mission of Opportunity (typical budget range 10-30M). - ESA MoO can be initiated in two possible ways: - invitation by the international partner - proposal by one or more Member States We aim at getting both (one is already in place) - Timeline: Nov 2017 or Feb 2018 SPC meeting

10. The European Strategy
Steps with ESA: - Letter from CNSA to ESA: done - Letters from CNSA to Member States: ongoing - Meeting ESA-CNSA: preliminary contacts in place, options for April and June - Informal meeting of a team delegation with the Executive: to be proposed - …
