Methods of improving the competitiveness of eu space activities

In 2022-2023 The European Union and its Member States have set themselves the task of taking advantage of the benefits of global regulatory leadership to form a qualitatively new regulation for the exploration and use of outer space and celestial bodies, primarily for commercial purposes, which would turn into a common international standard regulating space activities. Relying on legal instruments, systematic institution-building and enforcement oversight it strives for, the EU expects to overcome its accumulated technological gap, restore its companies to high international competitiveness and establish itself as a global space player of the first magnitude. Based on the generalization of a large array of the latest regulations, program and strategic documents adopted and prepared by the EU, the author analyzes what has already been done to solve this problem, what is being done for the future.
