lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, nobody has mentioned Galileo – the European Union’s direct competitor to the Americans’ GPS system – in which the Chinese have a 20% stake; a decision which has the potential to destabilise future arms production and threaten the maintenance of peace. Galileo is a hugely ambitious and expensive attempt by the EU to rival the US as a fully-fledged global and space power, why else duplicate GPS? The EU has no legal right to set up its own space programme – that depended on ratification of the failed Constitution. However, such niceties are being ignored. The EU wants its own satellites to be a part of future military operations, and is not prepared to wait. Since all future battlefield weapons will be navigated by satellite, it is obvious that Europe will be helping China to rearm. With its commitments in Japan, Taiwan and south-east Asia, can the United States be anything other than wary of anyone complicit in rearming China?"@en1
