Welcome to our project EURODRONE

Drone is a fascinating, but new and complex inventions. Uses of these aircrafts are discovered every day, whether it is for delivery, transportation, military actions, surveillance, etc.

We are aware of all the opportunities that drone can offer us but in the same time, accidents of drone are reported all over the planet while innovation around it has been continuing. Last September, the first flying drone taxi was tested in Dubai and the test was successful. We can soon imagine it put in use as an app service, like an “Uber-drone” service. But what about the regulation of such businesses? Are we facing a lack of regulation for the use of drones? What will be the future of such disrupting services?

To prevent the danger resulted from the use of drones, we decided to create EURODRONE. Our goal is to appoint a commission that would investigate the issues related to drone regulation, such as tensions and concerns about privacy, security, safety, and the potential economic benefit of drones for business growth. While there are already advisory bodies at the EU level investigating the issue, we believe efforts should be focused more closely on bringing together the digital, societal and security dimensions. Our aim is thus to complement EU’s efforts in creating a regulatory framework for drones and involve citizens in its implementation. This proposal is to be submitted to the European Parliament, the ultimate goal of our project consisting of a treaty to be voted by all EU countries then incorporated in their own legal systems.
