lpv:translated text	"Ten years ago, the European Union launched two satellite navigation programmes: Galileo and EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service). The first will be operational in 2014 and will be accurate to within less than a metre, whereas GPS is accurate to within several metres. This technological progress will enable European companies to innovate and position themselves at the cutting edge of services made possible by global positioning. However, there is also a strategic dimension to Galileo. At present, Europe is dependent on the GPS system, which is American. When Galileo is in place, the Union will enjoy total independence as well as superiority in this area, and it is plain to see the importance of the applications. The civilian and military resources of the Member States will be much more effective as a result. I voted for this resolution which, while praising the technical success, reminds the European Commission of the points where the programme can be improved: funding, public awareness, and involving our international partners."@en1
