European Union ministers, meeting on space policy in Toulouse, on Wednesday agreed that the bloc needed an autonomous satellite constellation infrastructure for high-speed internet access, France's Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said.
"This is probably the most important achievement of today's meeting," Le Maire told a news conference after the meeting.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who spoke at the event, said that bundling efforts to build up a satellite constellation independently from more advanced projects like Elon Musk's SpaceX was for Europe was a "matter of sovereignty".
"Who can imagine that, because we don't have our own European constellation, we would decide de facto to hand over our health or traffic data to other powers, to actors which can't be governed by European law", Macron said. Macron said that Europe needed "to act urgently" in order to catch up with foreign powers like the United Stated, China and Russia.Reporting by Tassilo Hummel, Editing by Jane Merriman, William Maclean
