Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The Galileo and EGNOS programmes are particularly important in transport applications, including intelligent transport systems. In the road transport sector, they are crucial for the improvement of road safety and traffic management and the reduction of congestion, travel times and fuel consumption. In the rail transport sector, they can enable the automation of track surveillance, improve safety, reduce delays and operating costs and offer passengers more accurate information. In the maritime and inland waterways sectors, they can enhance maritime safety, improve port handling capacity and provide accurate positioning information in emergency situations. In the air transport sector, they encourage and enable the use of small and peripheral airports by civil aviation and play an integral role in the development of the Single Sky Policy. Given the increased demand for an efficient and integrated European transport network, it is imperative to ensure that transport applications enabled by the Galileo and EGNOS systems continue to be developed. This will allow the citizens of the Union to reap the benefits derived from the systems, and ensure that public confidence in the programmes is maintained. The Galileo and EGNOS programmes are also important for making transport more secure by permitting permanent tracking of container fleets in the maritime application, or for making navigation more accurate in launcher trajectory management in the space sector.
