"Mr President, we know that, at the last Transport Council, there was no agreement among the Member States as to how Galileo was to be funded; while highly symbolic, the project may also allow Europe to affirm its practical independence in the field of satellite communications, but lack of private-sector investment means that it cannot be completed for lack of EUR 2 400 million, and what that demonstrates is that public assistance is absolutely indispensable to major collective projects. Where, then, is this funding to be found? I suggest that we make use of the European financial commitments that have not been used by the Member States, in other words, the amount – between EUR 3 and 10 billion – returned every year to the various countries that have not completely used up Europe’s largesse. Use of this resource would be the most painless option for both Europe and the Member States and would enable the EU to fully play its part as an investor in the future."@en1
