Twenty-nine European countries unveiled a new space policy on 22 May 2007. The European Space Policy has for the first time created a common political framework for space activities. Jointly drafted by the European Commission and ESA's Director General, Jean-Jacques Dordain, the European Space Policy sets out a basic vision and strategy for the space sector, and tackles issues such as science, applications including security and defence, access to space and exploration. Based on that European Space Policy, the Resolution adopted by the 'Space Council' of ESA and European Union ministers defines a vision for Europe in space and provides guidelines for implementing that vision.
