According to Bloomberg, a draft of the EU\u2019s new Arctic strategy, expected to be released next week, proposes the programme to improve regional ties and counter the growing ambitions of the United States and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed programme is expected to use the EU\u2019s Copernicus Earth observation and Galileo satellite systems to detect potential risks across Arctic land and sea. The strategy has not yet been released, so details about the programme\u2019s scope and implementation remain unconfirmed. The European Commission is reviewing its Arctic policy, with the revised policy expected to be published in October. <\/p>\n<p>Vladislav Maslennikov, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry\u2019s Department of European Issues and Russia\u2019s senior official on the Arctic Council, has accused the EU of continuing to politicise cooperation in the High North. He said the Union and its member states were pursuing a path that would heighten tensions in the Arctic. This is Maslennikov\u2019s assessment; the strategy\u2019s provisions and stated objectives will become clearer once the EU publishes it. <\/p>\n<p>As geopolitical interest in the Arctic grows, 12 EU member states have called for the Union to take a more strategic and active role in the region. They said the EU should commit additional resources to promote stability, sustainable development and prosperity while protecting its interests.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27624\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Newsroom The European Union is preparing to launch a surveillance programme in the Arctic in 2027.
