Access to data

• GMES a public good
• Overriding goal is to provide full and open
  access data and information with minimum
  restrictions
• Need to distinguish between data policy for
  Sentinels, contributing missions, GMES service
  products information
• Security restrictions may apply

5
International Dimension

• Fundamental to contribute to and have access to a
  wide range of consistent Earth Observation data
  over long time spans and covering the full globe
• GMES partners should ensure a coordinated
  approach for an international cooperation
  strategy building on existing cooperation schemes
  
• Global cooperation (GEO, CEOS)
• define the European contribution to these
  international initiatives
• Allow GMES access to observation data not owned
  by Europe
