Summary/Abstract: The importance of space in security and defence matters was inferred since the Cold War time, when the main super-powers reckoned that space had the potential to become the new environment of armed conflicts. Since then, the international community has been strained to bring under regulation states’ activity in space. SALT I and SALT II, START I and START II agreements marked the beginning of this process. The present paper describes and analyses the main EU concerns regarding the space dimension of security. Moreover, it reviews not only the main documents that approach this issue, but also the institutional framework within which they are elaborated.
