· Increase space research efforts, in particular in breakthrough technologies; · Support the development of alternative technologies to those of competitors; · Promote RD support to industry and space research organisations, including the downstream service sector and support the development of application-oriented RD programmes at universities related to space technologies and promote the transition from prototyping to product and market; · Assess hosted payloads business case, to explore the potential for further institutional an ...[+++]d scientific use and identify the best ways to address the challenges ahead such as legal issues, government/military requirements, etc; · Assess other cost-effective launch opportunities in order to embark new technologies to test them; · Use Horizon 2020 to accelerate the implementation of substitutes to raw materials needing replacement such as those listed within the framework of the REACH regulation.

It detailed the costs and performances of alternative technologies and provided examples of current initiatives.

24. Calls on the Commission to lift the regulatory barriers to satellite-based air traffic surveillance in order to enable life-saving services for EU citizens, and asks the International Telecommunication Union to make the necessary spectrum allocation, as the ICAO has identified satellite ADS-B as the one technology that can assist flight tracking, also for air traffic management (ATM) purposes, outside of the most densely populated areas, where other forms of terrestrial ATM surveillance technologies are limited; stresses that when implementing ADS-B the needs of all airspace users must be considered and inter-operabilit ...[+++]y between alternative technologies must be ensured in order to avoid safety and security breaches; emphasises that it could help governments, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and airlines in Europe and around the world to increase air traffic management efficiency and capacity, thus reducing aviation emissions, and significantly enhance aviation safety, all while providing European airspace with another layer of surveillance that could augment the current one;
