The Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) is pleased to address the request for comments on the EU Space Act. Our response is contextual rather than point-by-point, and we hope it supports the EU in shaping a framework for space systems safety, resiliency, and sustainability.
The EU Space Act is a forward-thinking and ambitious proposal from the European Commission. It aims to establish a unified regulatory framework to ensure that space activities within the European Union are safe, resilient and sustainable.

Elt Group, a 70-years-frontline experience Company providing cutting-edge technology solutions to institutional customers, for defence and security purposes in the field of Electro-magnetic Spectrum Operations & Cyber-defence, welcomes the development of a comprehensive EU Space Law aiming at offering an holistic, robust and sistemic legal framework across the MSs for space activities in Europe.
The National Cyber and Information Security Agency of the Czech Republic (NÚKIB) welcomes the possibility to express its opinion on this EU Space Law initiative. Foremost, we are of the opinion that this initiative must consider the NIS 2 Directive (2022/2555) since it aims to harmonise cybersecurity regulatory framework across the Union, including the space sector.
The Young European Enterprises Syndicate for Space (YEESS) welcomes the initiative to develop the EU Space Law, aiming to provide a unique and exemplary European answer to some of the main challenges the space sector is facing today: ensuring a safe, resilient and sustainable use of space for all. Our members share the European Commission's views and objectives.
Belgium welcomes the initiative of the EC in the context of the exhaustion of orbital resources and increasing competition among satellite operators. The concepts of security, safety and sustainability should be driving the European Unions space policy, and constitute a solid common ground to the Member States national space policies and regulations.
New rules on the safe, secure and sustainable use of space should be limited to what is necessary and proportionate. In parallel, research on the environmental impact of space and the development of new sustainable technologies should be further pursued. Start-ups and SMEs shape the New Space market. Research institutions and universities are also important space actors.

The Malta Sociological Association welcomes this initiative, particularly with respect to the inclusion of impact assessment. In this regard, we believe that that Social Impact Assessments (SIAs) should be incorporated and mainstream in this policy process. SIAs should not be one-off exercises.
The European Association of Remote Sensing Companies, (EARSC) is a trade association with more than 140 company members from all over Europe. EARSC represents the Earth Observation (EO) industry. EARSC very much welcomes the efforts of the European Commission to harmonise the EU approach to safety, sustainability, and resilience and ensure the long-term longevity of the European space domain.
I congratulate you. I agree with the need for initiative. In my opinion, it is necessary to define the broader goals of this necessity (expand impact assessments to requirements 1-2-3). Adoption of bilateral and multilateral agreements should be binding for all potential space state agencies - issues of sustainable space activities should be discussed by the public then at the UN level.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
