  3. ESA – EC Coordination

  4. GMES Co-ordination Bodies Advisory Committee GAC(2004)1 A way of maintaining and strengthening the “political ownership” of GMES, Provide strategic advice and policy orientation on: • GMES long-term implementation, including possible funding mechanisms and encouraging a “GMES partnership”. • to optimise the use of existing and future GMES infrastructures, • assessing the overall strategic and socio-economic benefits of GMES Membership: • EC, ESA and related Member States, interested in making significant contributions to GMES Meeting: • twice a year, next on 1st June 2005

  9. GMES Service Element (GSE) GSE is a key element and critical milestone for GMES. It is in the middle of its successful implementation phase. Prime objectives: • Maximum use of EO in support of European policies on environment and security • Basis for future EO operational systems for the benefits of Europe’s citizens GSE services must fulfill: • Availability • Reliability • Affordability
