5. Recalls that space is a key sector for the EU, that Galileo and EGNOS are widely used in the transport sector, and that EGNOS has been fully operational since 2011; stresses that Galileo is entirely financed by the EU budget and that its full deployment will bring major benefits for the EU economy by providing real services to its industries and citizens; takes note that Galileo currently operates with 22 satellites and that its full deployment should be achieved by 2020 once its 30 satellites will be in orbit; considers therefore, and taking into account the pressing challenge of cybersecurity, that it is of the utmost importance that an appropriate budget is allocated to secure the next satellites launches;

Paragraph 7
7. Regrets that the EU is not always successful in communicating about the direct effects of its policies and financial programmes, often for a lack of assessment of these impacts; points out that, with respect to the transport sector, the overall lack of awareness about passengers’ rights in the EU – whether the sector involved is the airline industry or, more especially, rail, given that Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 is not applied consistently from one Member State to the next – is very concerning; underlines that at a time wheren disinformation campaigns can easily be launched, a greater support must be devoted to this matter;
