"Mr President, the link between the common foreign and security policy and space policy is very clear, both in the Commission's White Paper and in the resolution. A lot of people think this is quite acceptable, but I do not think it is acceptable that the European Union should want to be a military super power. To be a credible military super power, of course, it needs a space policy. The Galileo technology is a very precise type of technology which will be used for military means. There are a lot more important areas into which EU resources could be going, rather than this: it is clearly in the interests of the military.
It is completely unacceptable that the space policy and EU resources should be funding and facilitating military expansion or the development of new military weapons. But is it right that European taxpayers’ money should be going into something like this when people all over Europe are crying out for essential social needs?
Such huge resources are being poured into this and it is not acceptable. That is why I do not support it."@en1
