(b) sensors attached to the systems operating the fishing gear and to the winch or the net drum, recording all movements related to the setting and hauling of the fishing gear.

"spacecraft" means a manned vehicle designed to operate at an altitude of more than 100 km above sea level;

10. Notes that any increase in the use of space assets by the military must not reduce and limit civilian use and possible future civilian applications; calls on the Member States and the VP/HR to initiate a review of the outdated 1967 Outer Space Treaty or to initiate a new regulatory framework which takes into account technological progress since the 1960s; underlines also the urgent need to reduce the risk of collision due to the growing number of satellites and space debris; welcomes the initiative of the Commission to propose the organisational framework for the establishment and operation of a European space surveillance and tracking system (SST); welcomes equally the EU-sponsored multilateral initiative towards an International C ...[+++]ode of Conduct for Space Activities as a way of introducing norms of behaviour in space as it seeks to achieve enhanced safety, security, and sustainability in space by emphasising that space activities should involve a high degree of care, due diligence, and appropriate transparency, with the aim of building confidence among space sector actors worldwide; believes that any new framework must take into account the views of all Member States and be strategically devised, looking at the long-term future of the industry, effectively preventing an arms race in outer space and ensuring the prohibition of harmful interference with space objects;

38. Stresses that satellite communication plays an important role within the European space industry, as orders from this sector provide continuous uses for spacecraft and launchers and thus contribute to the objective of independent access to space for the EU; draws attention, in this context, to the role of independent payload capacity which becomes available when launching commercial satellites (for ‘hosted payloads’) which can be used to try out new products and technologies in space and thus helps to reduce both the costs and the time required to be able to offer new services;
