lpv:translated text	"I would like to begin by expressing my delight at the maturity of this Galileo dossier, which will remain one of the great achievements of this legislature and an example of what the Commission and Parliament can do together, to the general incredulity and despite the resistance of many Member States. I believe this work does us all credit and I would like to pay tribute to Mrs Loyola de Palacio. I believe this Galileo is something with a real future for Europe, firstly because of its many potential applications in a large number of services that will benefit our fellow citizens, secondly because it maintains our competence, and especially our independence, in space matters, and lastly because it will provide work for our launchers, which we know are a weak sector in a world where launchers are very exposed to competition. Two problems remain, however, I believe. First, there is the problem of funding for the operational phase. I still do not understand in what way and how the private sector will be able to involve itself in the infrastructure competitively with a GPS that will provide its services free of charge. From this point of view it will therefore either ask for guaranteed resources or it will seek something in return. I think we must be very careful here. I have always thought that infrastructure should be public and that services should be paid for by those that use them. But I will wait and see what the funding plan will be, which I think should be settled as quickly as possible. Then in the matter of international cooperation – and on this point I agree with Mr Cappato to some extent – I think it is good that China is interested, but not at any price. Firstly, let us make sure that China does not demand that satellites be launched by its own launchers at the expense of Ariane, which needs an institutional market, and secondly, let us ensure that China, which is not a democratic state, does not use it for military purposes, which would be contrary to our essential values and in particular the respect for human rights which we know not to be the Chinese Government’s greatest virtue."@en1
