lpv:translated text	". GALILEO will not come into being until American competition has cornered the European market, which will be too late. Such a navigation system by satellite might have become part of a strategy to make Europe less reliant on the US. There are plenty of reasons for this. America is threatening us with increased global warming, again with an anti-missile shield dating from the ‘Star Wars’ period, with meat containing hormones, noisy aircraft, the ECHELON tapping system, a monopoly of patents and with a dollar which, as international currency, has for decades passed on the deficits of the American balance of payments to the outside world. At the moment, it is even threatening to drag us into a war against the third world. Restricted access of American products manufactured under poor working and environmental conditions to the European market might force America to pay more attention to labour, the environment, public health, animal torture, human rights and peace. Only in a confrontation of that kind could we possibly have a need for GALILEO. As long as such a confrontation is not forthcoming, the GALILEO project remains a contribution of the European taxpayer to industry in the field of electronics and space travel, and that industry is largely subject to military interests. It would be preferable to spend the money for GALILEO on environmental care and useful collective facilities."@en1
