"I voted in favour of the report on the mid-term review of the Galileo programme. The ambitious European endeavour to develop a European satellite navigation system, based on a constellation of 30 satellites and offering quality global positioning services, guarantees Europe’s autonomy and independence from other global navigation systems and a share in the important global high-tech market, on which the USA and Japan are currently top of the league. Moreover, Galileo will have the facility to support the implementation of previous traffic management systems for all means of transport (road, air, sea, etc.), which will improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact. In the agricultural sector, Galileo will be able to support improvements to agricultural output by guaranteeing more efficient use of land and water, thereby reducing the need for fertilisers and pesticides. However, the questions raised and my previous question to the Commission () about the very high cost of this particular endeavour have remained unanswered. To be precise, the cost of implementing the programme was initially estimated at EUR 3 330 million (of which 1 800 million was to be paid by the public sector). This was increased to EUR 5 580 million, all of which is to be paid by the public sector at a very difficult time for the economy."@en1
