Paragraph 5
5. Recalls that Galileo and EGNOS are widely used in the transport sector and that EGNOS under the safety monitoring of EASA has been fully operational since 2011 for the benefit of all transport modes; 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;
