    Italy Calls for Stronger EU Space Cooperation and Clearer Rules

    Industry Calls for Closer EU Space Cooperation and Clearer Rules

    EU Space Cooperation is needed to ensure their space sector remains competitive and attractive to investors. Italy’s Space Agency President, Teodoro Valente, and Industry Minister Adolfo Urso highlighted this during a global meeting of space agencies in Milan. As competition intensifies due to growing geopolitical tensions and private-sector advancements—especially from Elon Musk’s SpaceX—the need for stronger European cooperation is more pressing than ever.

    Valente emphasised that no single European country can shoulder the financial burden of space projects alone. He added that while cooperation is crucial, it must also be paired with a level of competition to maintain efficiency. According to Valente, the EU is working towards creating a “critical mass” in the space sector, but decision-making processes and programme implementation need improvement.

    Need for Streamlined EU Regulations

    Industry Minister Urso agreed with Valente’s stance, stressing the importance of clearer and more streamlined rules at the European level. Urso noted that current EU regulations should harmonise better with national legislation, ensuring a smoother framework for all countries involved. He urged the EU to make space a top priority to remain globally competitive, especially in the area of space launchers.

    Europe’s Efforts to Enhance Space Capabilities

    Europe is working hard to boost its space capabilities, especially in the wake of geopolitical shifts that have limited collaboration with Russia. For example, Italy’s Vega-C rocket, which suffered a failed launch, is expected to return to flight in December after fixes by the European Space Agency. Additionally, Europe made strides in July when the Ariane 6 launcher underwent successful trials. However, more significant investments and faster decision-making are needed for Europe to compete globally in the space industry.
