". The members of the MPF delegation to the European Parliament have supported Mr Glante’s report in order to give their backing to the implementation of the Galileo programme, but they are anxious to show their disagreement with the mixed Community and intergovernmental approach, which has been retained. This project is a perfect illustration of one of the domains in which European cooperation is vital. The common interest is obvious and clearly defined. The Galileo system is crucial if we are to ensure the independence of the Member States of the European Union in the strategic domain of satellite position-finding, since it will mean that they no longer have to depend on the GPS, that the United States controls in a discretionary fashion. On the other hand, in attempting to manage the project with a ‘Joint Undertaking’, where the Commission, together with the ESA, would make up one of the two pillars, we would be running the risk of paralysing its implementation, causing disagreements, bureaucracy and delays and making it impossible to call upon competences outside the Union and so on. The only effective solution would appear to be a specific ESA programme, for ESA mechanisms have proved their flexibility and efficiency. Only a voluntary intergovernmental framework will permit the satisfactory resolution of the essential issue of the use of the system by the military."@en1
