"Mr President, my thanks go to my colleague, Mr Piétrasanta, for the work he has done just as he is about to retire. Galileo will bring a good deal of direct benefits, such as the EGNOS navigation system, due to make its appearance this spring. It will provide industry with economic benefits and will bring to the navigation sector the competition it has long needed. We would be able to combine the use of the GPS system, Galileo and the Glonass system. I wish now, however, to stress the importance of Galileo’s later potential applications, especially in trans-European satellite-based broadband communication systems. When used in combination with a global positioning function it will make possible many new options in the economy which now we can only dream of. Economically speaking, it is the most effective way to bring broadband within the reach of all Europeans regardless of where they live and without discrimination. Broadband can give the telecommunications industry the extra boost it needs to compete globally. Finally, although I have mainly mentioned here the economic potential for supporting the Lisbon strategy, I would also like to emphasise the massive benefits Galileo will have for search and rescue services and transport."@en1
