JAKARTA The Draft Law (RUU) of EU space (EU) will not be launched in the near future. The European Commission has confirmed that the creation of its bill will be temporarily suspended. Delivered by EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, reported by Spacenews, the creation of the space bill must be postponed as Europe will enter its election campaign period. Most likely, the drafting of the bill will continue in June. "We know that we are heading towards an election campaign and we all understand that everything may take longer. Therefore, work will resume after a summer on this issue," said Breton.Breton also revealed that the bill they were talking about from the start of this year is still entering its early stages and is not yet ripe. Thus, the launch of the bill will be much longer than many parties had thought. This news is quite surprising because the European Commission has been optimistic since last January that they will release the contents of the bill to the public at the end of March. A spokesman for the European Commission also said that the bill would be released at the end of April, but this did not happen.

Delayed the creation of the space bill certainly raises debate, even within the internal parliament. Not a few urged Breton to accelerate the creation of the space bill, including Niklas Nienass as a member of the European Parliament. "Please Mr. Breton, we know here that time is the most important thing," he said during the meeting. Please let go even before the election because we can still start working on it while making political decisions after the election. Although not a few have urged Breton to accelerate the creation of the space bill, some members have no problem with the delay. However, they still say that they are looking forward to the space bill being made.
