THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2023/588 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2023 establishing the Union Secure Connectivity Programme for the period 2023-2027 (1), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 10(4) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Union Secure Connectivity Programme, established by Regulation (EU) 2023/588, has the objective of ensuring the provision and long-term availability of worldwide-uninterrupted access to secure, autonomous, reliable and cost-effective satellite governmental communication services to governmental users by establishing a secure connectivity system under civil control. |
(2) |
Operational requirements of the Union Secure Connectivity Programme should be laid down, in the form of technical specifications and implementation plans for governmental services related in particular to crisis management, surveillance and key infrastructure management, including diplomatic and defence communication networks and other governmental users’ needs. |
(3) |
The service portfolio for the governmental services should be established, including services restricted to government authorised users based on the governmental infrastructure, and also services to governmental users based on the commercial infrastructure, such as assured worldwide low latency service or worldwide narrowband service. The service portfolio for the governmental services should take into account the service portfolio of the government satellite communication (‘GOVSATCOM’) services established within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Programme committee established by Article 107 of Regulation (EU) 2021/696, in the GOVSATCOM configuration. |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The service portfolio for governmental services provided under Union Secure Connectivity Programme
1. The system implementing the Union Secure Connectivity Programme shall be designed to provide or enable the following satellite communications services:
(a) |
the following services offered to governmental users based on the governmental infrastructure:
|
(b) |
the following services offered to governmental users based on the commercial infrastructure:
|
The services referred to in the first subparagraph shall comply with the requirements for the predefined profiles for those services set out in the Annex.
2. The service portfolio of the system implementing the Union Secure Connectivity programme shall be tailored for each service and delivered to the end-users in conformity with the following procurement schemes:
(a) |
end-to-end service scheme, where the service is provided from the router/switch on the anchor station side, to the router/switch on the user terminal side, including the possibility of providing the external network on the anchor station side; |
(b) |
managed services scheme, where the provision of the service is guaranteed with the exclusion of the terminal. |
Article 2
