Science minister David Willetts has told Parliament that the EU Galileo satellite navigation programme requires an extra €1.9 billion.
“The European Commission is unable to complete the Galileo system by 2013 for the €3.4 billion budget set in 2007 and has estimated that an additional €1.9 billion is required”, Willetts said on 18 September. “This is included in the Commission’s proposal for the Galileo programme for the period 2014-20 (€7.9bn at 2013 prices), which is under negotiation as part of the discussions on the multi-annual financial framework.”
