| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. | 1. To obtain registration in URSO of its space activities, a third country space operator shall submit an application for registration to the Commission. That application shall contain all the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 15 and 16. The Commission shall forward the application to the Agency for technical assessment. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. | 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSA space activities carried out by third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. | 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. | 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Based on a decision by the Commission to allow registration, pursuant to paragraph 5, the Agency shall register in URSO third country space operators that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Title IV, as set out in Article 16 or Article 15. | 1. An operator from a third country seeking access to the internal market shall submit an application for registration in URSA to the Agency. The application shall contain all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Article 15. |
Third-country operators seeking EU market access apply directly to the Agency for URSA registration. The streamlined procedure mirrors the EUSA authorisation process: the Agency receives the application, transmits it to the qualified technical body, and takes the registration decision directly.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 a. The Agency shall transmit the application to the qualified technical body for space activities designated pursuant to Article 8 for technical assessment. That qualified technical body shall issue a technical opinion to the Agency within the time limits laid down in Article 7. |
The Agency transmits the third-country operator's application to the qualified technical body (ESA) for technical assessment. Consistent with the EUSA process: the same technical assessment body applies the same standards to Union and non-Union operators, ensuring equal treatment and technical consistency.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 b. The Agency shall assess the application, taking due account of the technical opinion referred to in paragraph 1a, and shall give the third country space operator the opportunity to submit observations, explanations and additional evidence. |
The Agency assesses the application taking account of ESA's technical opinion and gives the applicant the opportunity to submit observations before a negative decision. Due process protection consistent with standard EU administrative law practice.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 c. Articles 7(3) to 7(6) shall apply accordingly. Where the Agency concludes, on the basis of the technical opinion referred to in paragraph 2, that the space operator from a third country complies with the requirements of Article 15, it shall adopt a registration decision and register the relevant space activities in URSA. |
Cross-reference to the EUSA timeframes: the same 3-month overall timeline applies to third-country registrations as to Union authorisations. Equal treatment in procedure, not only in substance.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2. Where a derogation has been obtained in accordance with Article 19, third country launch operators shall be registered in URSO based on a decision of the Commission without complying with one or more of the conditions set out in Article 15. | deleted |
| When a derogation has been requested by a Member State to enable a Union space operator to launch with a third country space operator, that third country space operator shall provide evidence of that request to the Agency. |

| (a) the ongoing supervision of Union space operators authorised pursuant to Article 6 that are established in, or carry out space activities from, the territory of that Member State; | |
| (b) market surveillance activities needed to safeguard the use of space-based data in compliance with this Regulation. | |
| National competent authorities shall not issue EUSA authorisations. |
Clarifying the role of national competent authorities under the EUSA system: they retain ongoing supervision of Union operators on their territory but the authorisation function has transferred to the Agency. This preserves national supervisory capacity for the 'local presence' element of enforcement (inspections, urgent interventions) while eliminating duplication with the Agency's central authorisation role.

| 3 a. Where the space operator or the person entitled to authorise access to the premises, land or installation cannot be reached, or refuses access, the competent authority may obtain access to such premises, land or installation only upon authorisation by a judicial authority of the Member State in which the premises, land or installation are located. The judicial authority shall act speedily and shall, where appropriate, authorise the inspection with or without prior notice to the space operator concerned. | |
| The authorisation shall specify the address of the premises to be visited, the name and function of the officials empowered to carry out the inspection, and the times at which they are authorised to visit. | |
| The officials of the competent authority empowered to carry out the inspection may not begin the inspection before the authorisation referred to in this paragraph has been granted. Member States shall ensure that the national law provides appropriate procedural safeguards for the space operators concerned, including the right of appeal against decisions to grant judicial authorisation. |
A judicial warrant requirement for inspection access where the operator or site owner cannot be reached or refuses access provides due process protection while enabling effective enforcement. This mirrors the approach in other EU enforcement frameworks (competition, data protection) and prevents operators from evading inspection by simply being unavailable.

Removes the issue that, under the Commission text, it would have produced 27 different national fine regimes with divergent deterrence levels. A common EU fine framework — applicable through national competent authorities for operators under national supervision — delivers equal deterrence across the single market.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 a. Infringements consisting in: | |
| (a) carrying out a launch operation without a valid authorisation required pursuant to Article 6; or | |
| (b) obstructing or preventing an inspection carried out pursuant to Article 30; shall be subject to a maximum administrative fine of at least: | |
| (i) EUR 200 000 for natural persons; | |
| (ii) 1 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the legal person in the preceding business year. |
Establishing specific infringement categories (operating without authorisation; obstructing an inspection) with mandatory fine powers closes the deterrence gap for the most commercially motivated non-compliance behaviours: operating illegally to avoid compliance costs.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 a. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Regulation or the delegated and implementing acts stemming from it will be deemed to constitute an infringement and remedies and penalties may be applied. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 b. Where an infringement referred to in paragraph 1a has as its object or effect the jeopardising of the security or defence interests of a Member State or of the Union, or the compliance by a Member State or the Union with its international obligations, the maximum administrative fine shall be at least twice the amounts set out in paragraph 1a. |
Enhanced fine ceiling where an infringement jeopardises security or defence interests reflects the special severity of non-compliance in the security-sensitive space domain. The elevated fine provides deterrence proportionate to the risk.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1 c. When determining the amount of the administrative fine in each individual case, due regard shall be given to: | |
| (a) the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement; | |
| (b) the intentional or negligent character of the infringement; | |
| (c) any action taken by the operator to mitigate the harm caused; | |
| (d) the degree of cooperation with the competent authority. |
Listing the criteria for fine determination (nature, gravity, duration, benefit obtained, etc.) provides legal certainty and ensures consistent application across Member State competent authorities. The criteria mirror those applicable to Agency fines under Article 56.

| (b) previous infringements by the natural or legal person responsible for the infringement; | |

| (d) the intent or negligence on the part of the perpetrator of the infringement; | |
| (e) measures taken by the Union space operator to prevent or mitigate the damage; | |
| (f) the level of cooperation with the competent authorities and any obstruction of inspections, audits or other monitoring activities of competent authorities, following the discovery of the infringement; | |
| (g) the importance of the profits gained, or of the losses avoided, by the natural or legal person responsible for the infringement; | |
| (h) the need for the administrative fine to have a deterrent effect. |
