". Mr President, I am particularly pleased that we are discussing this topic – albeit at this late hour – because it is indeed the case that we need to get our skates on. We must keep the momentum going, not least in view of global competition. Mrs Barsi-Pataky already gave an excellent outline of the framework with regard to the possible delay, the legal framework and so on. I hope you will allow me briefly to dwell on this public-private cooperation this evening. It is estimated that a future-oriented project such as this can yield 150 000 extra jobs, and I know that industry cannot wait to take part in it. Moreover, there are also regions in Europe – Bavaria and North Netherlands for example – that are prepared to invest money from the structural funds in developing this further. That has also been done before for the LOFAR radio telescope project in North Netherlands. As you, Mr Barrot, will know, since you have been Commissioner for Regional Policy, structural funds must, more than ever, be invested in technologies and information. Would you be prepared to take over this development of decentralised involvement and funding? You have mentioned a Green Paper. Could that be the bridge that can bring about this acceleration? I am also mindful of the new rules for state support. Mrs Kroes outlined possibilities for projects of this kind a moment ago. I think that we are under-using the other instruments in this Parliament and in the European Union. Galileo is still in pole position globally. Europe is still ahead, but Galileo cannot afford to fall flat on its face in the implementation stage. Galileo should not carry on drifting, it must land."@en1
