Ausschuss für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (AFET) - Europäisches Parlament

In 2022, the EU Strategic Compass included space as a strategic domain, and called for a dedicated European strategy. In the meantime, Russia's invasion of Ukraine confirmed the key role of space for defence and resilience, but also highlighted vulnerabilities related to space systems. Another 'wake-up call' came from a different direction; SpaceX's advances in reusable rocket technology leading to Starship's first orbital flight test turned the spotlight onto launch providers and access to space. Space is a critical infrastructure issue with growing economic significance. It is also an increasingly contested arena between competing geopolitical interests. To address these rising challenges, in March 2023 the European Commission and the High Representative/Vice-President presented their first joint communication on a European space strategy for security and defence.

This study analyses the early outcomes, benefits, risks and challenges linked to the implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), in provisional application since January 2021 and in force since 1 May 2022, for the EU and its Member States. Its chief focus is on the implementation of the level-playing-field provisions – in particular, those dealing with environmental and social/labour rights protection – and on trade flows between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). The study first sets the scene, outlining the potential sources of tension in EU-UK relations that hinder the application of the EU-UK TCA. It then examines the EU evaluations of the TCA's implementation at national and regional level, while also presenting experts' views on how the agreement has been performing. The study also provides a longitudinal and visual analysis of EU-UK trade flows to explain the changes and continuities observed. It then analyses the European Parliament's scrutiny of the EU-UK TCA. It concludes by charting the possible paths for enhancing the performance of the EU-UK TCA, so that it can contribute to building trust between the two parties.
