The European Union is preparing a space law to regulate satellite activity and reduce orbital pollution, aiming for independence from outside companies.

The European Commission plans to implement the first space law to regulate satellite activity and manage space debris, preventing chaos in orbit. The initiative aims to reduce dependence on giants like SpaceX and ensure a secure environment for critical communications. MEPs underline the need for updated regulations to keep up with technological advances and protect European citizens, avoiding the risk of the EU becoming a "technology colony" of the US and China.
