EU Parliament ITRE/SEDE joint hearing "Securing Europe's Eyes in the Sky" (Brussels, 2026-07-01)

As the brief logged it

Panels covered GEO proximity operations and signal interception/jamming threats to European satellites (EDA, Belgian Defence, ESPI, ESA, EC DG DEFIS speakers), but the public event page carries no named operator or specific incident — it's a governance/threat-awareness hearing, not a filing or funding decision. SES's core GEO fleet sits in the exact threat category discussed. Held below push threshold on both age (>7d) and thinness of content; flagged for retro to decide whether it merits a standing watchlist note given direct bearing on SES's legacy GEO business's threat environment.
