Rationale
User-driven applications: benefits to public authorities and decision-makers (in fields such as agriculture, environment, fisheries, security, telecommunications, transport)
Benefits to European industry: better definition of common objectives based on user requirements and policy objectives
Coordination of activities: to avoid duplication, maximise interoperability and define standards

20. Space activities Activities
Space-based applications at the service of the European Society
GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): user driven approach to:
Development of satellite-based monitoring systems
Integration with in-situ monitoring systems
Use and delivery of GMES data and services
Innovative satellite communication services in public application sectors (e.g. civil protection, tele-medicine)
Technologies for reducing the vulnerability of space-based services and for the surveillance of space

21. Budgets of the EU Framework Programmes 1984-2013
