"The European Parliament has always supported the European Union’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), implemented by means of the Galileo and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) programmes. Unfortunately, today, the European Union is dependent on the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States.
Nonetheless, Galileo offers clear advantages over the GPS system. Furthermore, EGNOS is used on a daily basis by 80 000 European farmers and has recently been certified for civil aviation, and should shortly be certified for maritime transport. Space policy and the GNSS programme are of strategic importance and should provide tangible benefits for citizens and businesses.
From this point of view, the Commission must ensure the compatibility and interoperability of Galileo with other satellite navigation systems. Finally, it is important that these European programmes receive the funding they need to be brought to fruition."@en1
