Telecommunications Policy, 2025, vol. 49, issue 5

Abstract: This paper explores the impact of novel and forthcoming regulations on the European Union's (EU) strategic projection, focusing on space systems and their wide-ranging effects on services for European citizens and related industries. By examining space legislation and cybersecurity, this research provides an analytical perspective on whether the EU has implemented strategic regulations in shared competency, focusing on space and international security. While European Member States face the challenge of implementing national space strategies, the relevance of the EU extends beyond internal market and industry considerations, showcasing the Union's capabilities in implementing regulations defined in this study as ‘strategic’.
