| Following a decision to back
further development of a new global navigation satellite service it is
thought thousands of new UK jobs could be created.
Introduction of the Galileo system could be worth as much as £3.8
billion to the UK in exports by 2010. Galileo will also provide greater
safety in air traffic control and on the railways.
Around £630 million is to be provided by the European Commission and
the European Space Agency. |
