Recital 8
(8) Given the increasing usage of satellite navigation across a great number of fields of activity, an interruption in the supply of services could lead to significant harm to modern society. In addition, due to their strategic aspect, satellite navigation systems are sensitive infrastructures, that could be susceptible to malicious use by state and non-state actors. The abovementioned aspects could affect the security of the Union and, its Member States and its citizens. Security requirements must therefore be taken into account in the design, implementation and operation of the infrastructures emerging from the Galileo and EGNOS programmes.

It is the responsibility of the Commission to establish mechanisms to ensure suitable coordination between the various entities responsible for security. The Commission and Council should further create the appropriate procedural security conditions to ensure that the open service can be restricted geographically or switched off in order to prevent any malicious use.
