"I voted against this report, in keeping with my rejection of the European Galileo programme, on account of its having a standpoint and aims that are clearly military. I do not support the fact that the EU spends enormous amounts of its citizens’ money on developing complex programmes and systems that are solely, or in most cases, used for military purposes. My dedication to what real, committed pacifism involves and, above all, to the necessary demilitarisation of the EU, makes it impossible for me to support any programme, mechanism or tool that, like the satellite resulting from the Galileo programme, is largely intended to make progress in the militarisation of human relations and the technological arms race. In recent years, the Galileo programme has been of no use, or very little use, to development, innovation and progress made in civil, not military, matters. Even so, huge amounts have been spent on developing it, even though it has not resulted in a higher quality of life for the majority of European citizens."@en1
