2. The provision of the services referred to in paragraph 1 shall take into account the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, be cost-effective and decentralised where appropriate, integrating at European level existing space, in situ and reference data and capacities in Member States, thereby avoiding duplication.

Therefore, they shall enable the development of decentralised and cost-effective downstream services which shall integrate, where appropriate, at European level, existing space, in-situ and reference data and capacities in Member States to avoid duplication.

Dissemination of the data shall be undertaken either in the ‘pull mode’, i.e. by downloading from the data centres web sites; or in the ‘push mode’, whereby regular data files will be provided to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Global Telecommunication System (GTS), to the International Argo Data Centres, to the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), to the Copernicus Marine Service and to specific users upon request.

2. The provision of GMES services shall be decentralised, where appropriate, to integrate at European level existing space, in-situ and reference data inventories and capacities in Member States, thus avoiding duplication.

43. Reiterates that international cooperation for peaceful purposes is a basic value of the European Union and is at the heart of its policies; considers that international cooperation should promote European technology, infrastructure and services, scientific, technical and industrial excellence, optimal data access for European users, knowledge sharing and interoperable development of applications useful for meeting the great societal challenges that Europe and the world are currently facing; points out that the European Union should be a leader in the space field and maintain a substantial strategic role at world level, particularly ...[+++] in the international negotiations on the Space Situational Awareness System and space exploration; stresses that work in the space policy sector may be made more effective through industrial cooperation and sharing of investment in major programmes, such as the International Space Station;

15. Welcomes the Commission's proposal to the Council regarding the framework agreement redefining the space policy role that the ESA should play when Europe has a space programme (of which Galileo is the first example), tackling the problem of differing responsibilities and recognising that the ESA has achieved valuable results in organising research and technological and industrial supply in Europe, with a view to the gradual integration of the technical know-how built up in Europe both by the ESA and by the national agencies in a network of centres working o ...[+++]n European programmes; in this context, calls on the Commission to clarify the institutional demand in the various fields of Union policy;
