Statement (to be annexed to the legislative resolution) (new)
Statement of the European Parliament on the use of the Public Regulated Service (PRS) Parliament is concerned about clear indications that defence and internal security will be the sectors using by far the greatest volume of PRS receivers, and that, except for the United Kingdom and Germany, all Member States are planning PRS applications within their national defence sector. Parliament regrets the fact that the dominance of the internal security and defence use of PRS has been denied by both Council and Commission for many years but is now becoming a reality.

Statement of the European Parliament on Security Governance Parliament notes that security governance remains unclear in the event of an immediate attack by a hostile state or non- state actor against the Union, the Member States or partner countries using PRS or other Galileo services. Council 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 Union1 needs to be modified in order to provide more detail on the question of whether the High Representative for Foreign Affaires and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission has the right to disrupt or significantly modify the service without further consultation in the event of an immediate threat. 1 OJ L 246, 20.7.2004, p. 30.

(3a) The services offered by PRS might play an important role for different weapon systems, especially when it comes to navigation and guidance and it is therefore important that the Commission, the Council, the European External Action Service and Member States act in accordance with the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and that Member States and the European External Action Service increase their efforts regarding the possible revision of the international legal framework or, alternatively, regarding a new treaty which would take into account the technological progress since the 1960s and effectively prevent an arms race in outer space.
