Making the unprecedented EU Space Act effective for all

And here may be why: the commercial space industry just doesn't want to do it.

e.g. Eutelsat, there are statements like this: "Replace “maintaining” 7-magnitude level with the requirement that spacecraft be “designed with the aim of achieving” that threshold" (reflecting operational variations). https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13971-EU-Space-Act-new-rules-for-safe-resilient-and-sustainable-space-activities/F33114424_en

and SpaceX: "For example, the technical infeasibility of the requirement to limit satellite brightness to “at least 7 magnitude” has been discussed at length in other public commentary. Balancing the interests of space operators and the astronomy community is certainly possible without the imposition of prescriptive measures, as the joint efforts of the National Science Foundation, SpaceX, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have shown." https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13971-EU-Space-Act-new-rules-for-safe-resilient-and-sustainable-space-activities/F33114388_en
