At the first Space Council in November 2004, Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) was proclaimed as the next flagship initiative for space in Europe after Galileo. This underlines that GMES has come a long way since its beginnings in 1998. Initially conceived as a relatively loosely coordinated forum for cooperation among space agencies, GMES today stands on firm ground. The European Commisson has assumed political leadership for GMES, and the European Union's policy priorities have been confirmed. A strong user base has been built up through numerous GMES projects funded since 2001 by ESA and the Commission. Currently ESA is preparing, with its Member States, a firm proposal for the 2005 Ministerial Council to start building up the space infrastructure necessary to sustain operational GMES services in the long term.
