lpv:translated text	"The issue at stake is not that of the existence of a global navigation satellite system for Europe based on use for non-military ends and not integrated into the EU’s security arrangements. The problem is its potential use for military and aggressive ends. Its use for non-military ends could represent an important contribution to the provision of public services, with opportunities for cooperation, and progress in science and its applications, and in the exchange and accessibility of information, with the guarantee of respect for the public’s rights, freedoms and guarantees. However, the fact that this satellite navigation system has been set up in competition with the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States, on which the EU depends, and which is well known to be under military control, with financing from US federal military programmes, is worrying. As such, we still have serious doubts about the limits to the potential uses of these programmes in a context of competition, both between functionalities and efficiencies of these systems, and between the EU and US."@en1
