"With the launching into orbit on 21 October of the first two operational satellites of the GALILEO global navigation satellite system, a historic milestone in the development of this project has been passed. GALILEO is vital for the future of high technology in Europe. It will generate vast markets and will provide Europe with the technological progress that will enable it to be competitive worldwide. It is essential for Europe and for the whole world to have its own solution, in order to avoid having to rely on the monopoly that the United States currently has with GPS (Global Positioning System). Furthermore, future navigation needs and the requirement for global cover cannot be met by a single system. The agreement signed with the United States will ensure that GALILEO and GPS are mutually compatible. Thus it should increase the number of satellites visible from anywhere on Earth and help civilian users around the world to access navigation signals. Indeed, effective cooperation is needed so that the advantages of this important technology fully benefit the various applications."@en1
