💨 Abstract

Italy's parliament rejected opposition amendments aimed at restricting the government from acquiring satellite services from non-EU companies, including Starlink, a subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX. The opposition Democratic Party (PD) proposed limitations to ensure Italian control over encryption and software components, but their amendments were opposed by the ruling parties. The PD has expressed concerns about working with a company owned by a U.S.
