". Mr President, Mr Vice-President, a year ago the European Parliament voted here in Strasbourg at first reading on the financing of the GALILEO programme, and on the whole it unanimously supported the programme. A great success of the past year has been the fact that the GIOVE-A satellite went into orbit and occupied its frequency. Our gratitude goes to the European engineers and developers. Discussions regarding the realisation and operation of the project are under way, and Parliament takes note of the Commission’s communication to the effect that the first result of these talks will be the so-called ‘head of terms’ regarding its financing, which is to come before us before the end of this year. We request the Commission to do everything possible in the interest of fulfilling the common objective of financing the GALILEO programme by a two-thirds/one-third split between private capital and the Commission. Despite the results, we must express our concerns. The programme is considerably delayed. We realise the significant difficulties which the Commission faces daily. The European legal and regulatory system is difficult to use when it comes to realising a joint project. Furthermore, it is our experience that this is a new and difficult task, as regards financing, risks and operations, for the European space industry selected to carry it out. We agree that the European GALILEO programme has entered the global sphere and has offered its services worldwide. If, however, cooperation with third countries is also to figure in the overall institutional transformation of the Supervisory Authority, then the European Parliament wishes first to give its opinion on this matter. We, the various political groups in the European Parliament, consider that what the GALILEO programme now needs is what is known as ‘good governance’. For this reason, I wish to ask the President and Vice-President what the Commission plans to do to ensure that this promising programme, which is one of the vehicles for the Lisbon Strategy, will be realised without further delay. When will the regulations on its uses be ready, allowing European undertakings to prepare in sufficient time for the participation that is the key to the success of the entire programme?"@en1
