The first meeting of the Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) Steering Committee took place in Brussels on 19 March 2002. This meeting unites, for the first time, the users and suppliers of GMES services and technologies. The steering committee will assist in the implementation of the EU's Action Plan on Global Monitoring of Environment and Security. The EU's goal is to develop by 2008 an operational and autonomous European global monitoring capability for environmental and security purposes. GMES is an initiative to federate Europe's disparate activities in satellite observation and remote sensing, in support of Community policies. |
