Galileo System

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent progress has been made on the Galileo satellite navigation system project.

Answer

In 2014, two new EU Regulations came into force: the Galileo Regulation (EU 1285/2013), and the amending GSA Regulation (EU 512/2014). These set out further detail on governance and programme delivery.

The European Commission will issue a revised launch schedule shortly, following the full inquiry into the launch anomaly that occurred on 22 August 2014.
