Draft recommendations:
“The role of Industry in GMES and GEOSS”
The GMES and GEOSS initiatives are complex ones where actors are numerous and where innovative approaches have to be taken in a wide variety of domains such as political, organisational, technical, economic and financial to name just a few. Since the 1998 Baveno Declaration, Industry has shown a strong interest in these initiatives and has supported the various steps of the elaboration of a European consensus. However it must be recognised that the real present and future role of industry at large in GMES and GEOSS has been little discussed.
Considering the fact that in a large part the success of GMES and GEOSS hinges on a proper and efficient role of industry, it is high time for industry to get together to evaluate the present situation, to make an overall assessment of GMES/GEOSS opportunities in terms of socio-economic and industrial terms as well as to study an action plan which would allow industry to play a role in insuring the success of these initiatives.
