Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) The aim of the Galileo programme is to establish and operate the first global satellite navigation and positioning infrastructure specifically designed for civilian purposes. The system established under the Galileo programme is completely independent of other existing or potential systems and it is of key importance for the EU's strategic autonomy.

Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The Union recognises that, by definition, no space policy can be undertaken in isolation from other relevant actors in space. International co- operation is a fundamental part of the Galileo programme and the Commission, working closely with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European External Action Service (EEAS), should continue to lead on space dialogues with strategic partners and emerging space powers.

Recital 8
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. The abovementioned aspects could affect the security of the Union and its Member States. Security requirements must therefore be taken into account in the design, implementation and operation of the infrastructures emerging from the Galileo and EGNOS programmes. Capabilities at Member State level, as well as in the framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), should be developed in order to prevent spoofing attacks against the encrypted public regulated service (PRS) signal and to ensure the security of critical infrastructure.
Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Since the Union is responsible, in principle, for financing the programmes in full, the governance and operation of the European GNSS should remain under civilian control within the Union and provision should be made for it to own all tangible and intangible assets created or developed under these programmes. In order to comply fully with any fundamental rights relating to ownership, the necessary arrangements with existing owners should be made, particularly for essential elements of the infrastructures and their security. In order to facilitate adoption of satellite navigation by the markets, there is a need to ensure that third parties can make optimum use in particular of the intellectual property rights arising from the programmes which belong to the Union, in particular at social and economic level.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) Galileo is the first complete civil positioning system. However, certain services of Galileo, particularly PRS, are of a dual-use nature and can also be used for defence purposes within the Member States and support CSDP missions, including crisis-management operations. Galileo will be of key importance in the event of implementation of Union solidarity and mutual-assistance clauses, as provided for by Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 42 (7) of the Treaty on European Union, respectively.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The deployment and exploitation phases of the Galileo programme and the exploitation phase of the EGNOS programme should, in principle, be entirely financed by the Union. However in accordance with Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the financial regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, the Member States should be able to provide additional funding to the programmes or a contribution in kind, on the basis of appropriate agreements, in order to fund additional programme elements requested by them, e.g. concerning the system architecture or particular security needs. Third countries and international organisations should also be able to contribute to the programmes, to the extent that the independence of the global navigation satellite system of the Union is not affected.
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) It is important to note that the investment and operating costs of the systems as estimated for the period 2014- 2020 do not take account of unforeseen financial obligations which the Union may be obliged to bear, in particular those relating to non-contractual liability arising from the public ownership of the systems, especially with regard to force majeure and catastrophic failure. These obligations are the subject of a specific analysis by the Commission and will be communicated to the Council and the European Parliament in due time.
Amendment 27 #

Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) Responsibility for the progress of the programmes includes, in particular, responsibility for their security and the security of their systems and operation. Except in the case of application of Joint Action 2004/552/CFSP of 12 July 2004 on aspects of the operation of the European satellite radio-navigation system affecting the security of the European Union, which could be adapted if necessary to changes in the programmes, their governance and the Lisbon Treaty, the Commission is responsible for security, even if certain security-related tasks are entrusted to the European GNSS Agency. It is the responsibility of the Commission to establish mechanisms to ensure suitable coordination between the various entities responsible for security, under the authority of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

Recital 28 a (new)
Recital 28 a (new)
(28a) Exports outside the Union of dual- use equipment or technology and software relating to PRS use and relating to the development of and manufacturing for the PRS, regardless of whether that equipment, software or technology is listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items1, should be restricted to those third countries which are duly authorised to access the PRS under an international agreement with the Union. The EU list of controlled items is based on control lists adopted by international export control regimes, such as the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Australia Group (AG), and the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). __________________ 1 OJ L 134, 29.5.2009, p. 1.
