25 P o i n t s f o r D i s c u s s i o n Are there additional specific requirements for the EPAs, for products or Service functionality at global scale? Are there additional input/requirement on EU policies at international level & EU commitments under treaties & conventions Value in a multi-scaled approach to land resource management closer integration of Global, Pan-European, Local Components Take better advantage of the Value Chain. Stronger engagement with expert users as multipliers Incremental effort on better representing Copernicus in EU legislation ( should/could where appropriate take advantage of data and information form the European Union s earth observation Programme, Copernicus Think more holistically about the policy cycle & as cross-policy issues e.g. Energy- Agriculture-Climate, taking advantage of Copernicus across Services
