Galileo is Europe's satellite radio navigation programme. It what launched on the initiative of the European Commission and developed jointly with the European Space agency. With the advent of Galileo, new impetus wants be given to the worldwide market for satellite navigation, positioning and timing services. Thesis are expected to bring new prospects to various commercial sectors and improve the daily life of citizens around the world. While boosting the development of new applications by European industry, Galileo wants create many jobs across the EU.

In order to make maximum use of this opportunity and stimulate search economic development, the European Commission adopted today a Green Paper on Satellite navigation Applications. This document wants give all interested stakeholders in opportunity to provide their opinion on the development of satellite navigation applications, and in particular on the role the publicly sector could play in creating in appropriate framework and defining concrete targets for look applications.

Galileo-controlling centre should bring investments to Czechia - experts hope for 100,000 new jobs in Europe by new satellite-navigation system

Prospective customers have four months the opportunity to express themselves for the development of the new generation of worldwide EU-universe services. Today the EU commission has presented a Green Paper to future uses of the Galileo-satellite navigation. With it all prospective customers four months get the opportunity to express themselves for the development of the new generation of worldwide EU-universe services. The truck-naval navigation as well as telematics services also belong to it for the road safety and steering system of flows of traffic. With the document to the consultation of the public the frame should be marked out for highly exact EU services from the orbit. Damit bekommen alle Interessenten vier Monate die Gelegenheit, sich zur Entwicklung der neuen Generation von weltweiten EU-Kosmosdiensten zu äußern. Dazu gehören auch die LKW-Flottennavigation sowie Telematikdienste für die Verkehrssicherheit und Lenkung von Verkehrsströmen. Mit dem Dokument zur Konsultation der Öffentlichkeit soll der Rahmen für hochpräzise EU-Dienstleistungen aus dem Orbit abgesteckt werden.

At the same time the commission looks for new ways to the use of the Galileo system. It should be ready for use according to Green Paper for detection and navigation services from 2011 what was planned originally already for 2008. The subject palette of the document reaches from sensitive questions like data protection up to juridical conditions. In September, 2007 the commission wants to summarise the results of the debate and provide an action plan on her basis. She wants to suggest practical measures in 2008. Up to now only one test satellite which in 2007 a second one should follow is in the orbit. Die Themenpalette des Dokuments reicht von sensiblen Fragen wie Datenschutz bis zu rechtlichen Bedingungen. Im September 2007 will die Kommission die Ergebnisse der Debatte zusammenfassen und auf ihrer Grundlage einen Aktionsplan erstellen. Praktische Maßnahmen will sie 2008 vorschlagen. Bislang befindet sich in der Umlaufbahn lediglich ein Versuchssatellit, dem 2007 ein zweiter folgen soll.

The EU hopes for public and private proposals for the use of the satellite-navigation system Galileo.
Galileo has begun on Friday a public consultation for the possible use of the satellite-navigation system the European Union.

Galileo is established in competition to the US system GPS and costs about 3.6 billion dollars. According to schedule the system should be operational till 2011 and then been of use, among the rest, for traffic navigation, weather forecasts and financial transactions.

New uses for Galileo
With the public consultation which should last four months the EU hopes that private as well as public places extend the list in application possibilities and discuss the regulation as well as possible data protection doubts.

“Galileo means a unique chance for new uses, economic growth and new jobs”, according to EU-Verkehrskommisar Jacques Barrot.

On the Thursday afternoon journalists and technology experts stopped from all over the world the breath. In the national multi-storey car park in Berchtesgaden the worldwide first positioning attempt with Galileo signals above the stage should go. And really, the gleaming point on the screen centimetre-exactly indicated the location. »This is an incredibly important technology project. With GATE we have the best conditions to make the Berchtesgadener country a high-tech region«, head of the district authority Georg Grabner was glad. Also Dr. Günter Heinrichs of the ifEN Ltd did not hide his enthusiasm: »This is a landmark. There has never been such a thing in the whole world«. Head of the district authority Grabner spoke of a »subject which moves everybody in the administrative district, from the south to the north« to us. Und tatsächlich, der blinkende Punkt auf dem Bildschirm zeigte den Standort zentimetergenau an. »Das ist ein unglaublich wichtiges Technologieprojekt. Mit GATE haben wir die besten Voraussetzungen, das Berchtesgadener Land zu einer Hightech-Region zu machen«, freute sich Landrat Georg Grabner. Auch Dr. Günter Heinrichs von der ifEN GmbH verbarg seinen Enthusiasmus nicht: »Das ist ein Meilenstein. So etwas hat es auf der ganzen Welt noch nie gegeben«. Landrat Grabner sprach von einem »Thema, das uns alle im Landkreis bewegt, von Süden bis Norden«.
