3. Page 3 Why standardisation and harmonization EOP-GSR To manage and reduce technical risks in EO systems and operations. To manage and reduce the cost of EO systems and operations. To establish the baseline for the development of the European space infrastructure in the context of the GMES Programme capable of harmonising and exploiting relevant national initiatives and assets. To allow interoperability within and across organisations. To increase competitiveness of the European space (and downstream) industry. To maintain the leadership in EO systems and operations and avoid insurgence of undesired standards To ensure that technology drivers for the European guaranteed access to space are led by European requirements

4. Page 4 Innovation vs. standardisation and harmonisation EOP-GSR standardisation helps to build focus, cohesion and critical mass in the formative stages of a market; standardisation codifies and diffuses state-of-the-art technology and best practice; open standards are desirable to enable a competitive process of innovation-led growth.
