". I would like to start by congratulating my colleague, Norbert Glante, on his research and negotiations on this matter of great strategic importance. I would now like to draw your attention to the Galileo system. We often hear mention of this project without really being aware of its future applications. Galileo is a satellite radionavigation system that allows the user of a receiver to capture the signals transmitted by a number of satellites in order to determine its position in time and in space. At the moment, there are two systems of this type: the American GPS system and the Russian GLONASS system. These two systems have been developed on a military basis, which is not the case with Galileo. On a practical level, we will be able to use this system in areas as varied as transport, fisheries, agriculture, telecommunications, oil exploration, defence and civil protection activities. To give you an example, in the field of inland transportation, it will allow planning and better management of transport times, the automatic control of vehicles, a reduction in traffic jams and the number of road accidents and so on and so forth. Of course, we are not at this stage yet. The implementation of Galileo should take place in four phases. We have completed the definition phase. We now have to launch the development phase for 2002-2005. During this period, we will have to establish the technical and financial conditions necessary for the rapid deployment of infrastructure in 2006-2007 in order to be able to exploit this system commercially in 2008. The European Commission has made us proposals with regard to this second phase of Galileo. Our Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy was of the opinion that the proposals made with regard to structures were not appropriate. Thus, according to the model envisaged by the European Commission, private companies would be able to participate fully in the establishment of the Joint Undertaking. Following the example of the rapporteur, I believe that there would be a conflict of interests if these companies were directly involved in the joint undertaking, since they would then have to respond to invitations to tender issued by this same company. It therefore seems desirable that only the founding members, the European Communities and the European Space Agency, should be members of this Joint Undertaking. The EIB may also become a member of the Joint Undertaking in the future."@en1
