"This report, drafted by Mr Remek, deals with European satellite navigation programmes. It is a report whose purpose is a mid-term review of these programmes, including assessment of their implementation, future challenges and financial perspectives.
Since 2000, when the Global Positioning System (GPS) service was made available, this sector has grown exponentially (EUR 124 billion in 2008), with the domestic market forecast to be worth EUR 230 billion overall in 2025. In 2008, the EU decided to create its own satellite navigation system (Regulation (EC) No 683/2008), Galileo and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), with the objective of ensuring Europe’s independence and autonomy, raising its market share and putting the industry in a position to be competitive in a strategic and fast-growing market.
I voted in favour of the rapporteur’s proposals, in spite of the cost overruns recorded in the implementation of the project, because I understand that the EU should be at the forefront of researching and developing cutting-edge technology, especially when that same technology represents a scientific and economic asset to the EU."@en1
