The Action Plan on GNSS Applications, is also a result of MS actions to
exhort EC to prepare a plan in favour to the European satellite navigation
activities.
The Action Plan can bring an added value to the European activities: the use
of EU satellite navigation systems can have wide economic, social and
environmental impact. The promotion of EU GNSS directly supports EU
strategic priorities such as the Lisbon Agenda.
The adoption of EU GNSS signals in several application domains requires
compliance with international standards and certification (i.e. aviation
or maritime transport). Actions at EU level would avoid duplication and
waste of efforts at Member State level.
The EU actions have the objective to remove barriers and obstacles
preventing the maximisation of the benefits generated by EGNOS and
GALILEO for the citizens and the industry of the Member States of the
European Union.

EGNOS is there, Galileo is
coming !
But Europe has not taken
an appropriate share of the
GNSS application sector
(around 20%)
=>There is a risk to miss a big
opportunity with respect to
the EU strategy for growth
and jobs

Economic activities representing 6-7% of EUs GDP rely on
GNSS (800 bn):
Positioning : All modes of transport, logistics, precision
agriculture, civil protection, emergency management,
Timing : synchronisation of networks (bank transfers,
electrical and telecommunication networks)
The EU is exposed to a potential unavailability of the GPS
signal
=> Its of utmost importance to secure the supply of GNSS

Uncertainty about European GNSS (delays, problem of funding)
has been weakening confidence in potential downstream business
Growing competition (GLONASS, COMPASS) changed the
context for the development of applications to the detriment of
the EU
GNSS is not a traditional market model : a defence-oriented
market for third countries
Shortage of funds for EU GNSS R&D, delays technological
advances and growth of industrial capacities in Europe. 400 M
taken from FP7 planned budget to finance the infrastructure.
=> 17 M / year (EU) compared to 500 M / year (US)

Policy fields coordinated at EU level (Transport safety,

Adoption of EU GNSS requires compliance with
international norms or certification (aviation)
Status quo = current low level of applications uptake based
on EU GNSS
The EU owns Galileo and EGNOS : the Commission has to
ensure the best return on investment

The Goal:
Accelerate the development of GNSS applications and the
adoption of EGNOS (and GALILEO)
Increase the European share of the GNSS application
market
Proposals for EUs actions came from :
2006 Green paper on the applications of satellite navigation
Several market studies and CBA
Analysis of results of call for ideas for the European Satellite Navigation
Competition, or calls for research proposals (FP6 and FP7)

Conclusions
Conclusions
The Action plan activities should aim at creating better framework conditions for
the market forces to operate, increasing the capacity of existing infrastructure and
making a more efficient use of them, contributing to the reduction of congestion,
pollution and other environmental damages.
A special effort should be dedicated in integrating national initiatives into
transnational European initiatives, such as for example the transport of dangerous
goods on road and the maritime transport.
The Action Plan resources should focus initially on a limited period on 2010-2013,
being the policies time span going beyond 2020. The Action Plan should be updated
regularly, maybe at intervals of a year and the Actions should be handled by EC and the
related Agencies, with due involvement of national and regional authorities in the
Member States.
A special attention should be given to the indicators of progress to be considered,
being the main one the share of the market that GALILEO and EGNOS will be able to
win. A macro-econometric model should be made available as soon as possible, to
measure several aspects of the impact resulting from the adoption of GNSS
applications, and to track the effect of this EC policy.
