VK reserveert 92 miljoen pond voor onderzoek naar bouw van

[Eagle Creek]

De Britse regering trekt 92 miljoen pond uit om een alternatief te ontwerpen voor het Europese satellietsysteem Galileo. Door de Brexit dreigt het VK buiten de boot te vallen, waardoor er mensen zijn die vinden dat het VK een eigen systeem moet gaan ontwikkelen.

Deze zin klinkt wat typisch. Het staat nu zo generiek omschreven dat het lijkt alsof er een willekeurige kleine groep mensen is met een mening, waardoor de overheid direct miljoenen ponden is gaan reserveren voor onderzoek.

Lijkt me dat er toch meer motivatie achter heeft gezeten dan "er zijn mensen met een mening".

Haha, je legt goed de vinger op de zere plek Ik was me ervan bewust dat die zin niet bepaald de sterkste uit het bericht was. Heb de formulering wat aangepast. Hopelijk kan die wel door de beugel

@Koekiemonsterr Nog een opmerking over het Galileo artikel:

Galileo is een EU (!) en geen Europees navigatie systeem.
EU ≠ Europa en Europa ≠ EU
Uiteraard bestaat de EU uit Europese landen, maar niet alle Europese landen zijn lid van de EU!

In September 2003, China joined the Galileo project. China was to invest €230 million (US$302 million, GBP 155 million, CNY 2.34 billion) in the project over the following years.[59]

In July 2004, Israel signed an agreement with the EU to become a partner in the Galileo project.[60]

On 3 June 2005 the EU and Ukraine signed an agreement for Ukraine to join the project, as noted in a press release.[61]

As of November 2005, Morocco also joined the programme.

In Mid-2006, the Public-Private Partnership fell apart and the European Commission decided to nationalise Galileo as an EU programme.[28]

In November 2006, China opted instead to upgrade Beidou navigation system, its then-regional satellite navigation system.[62] The decision was due to security concerns and issues with Galileo financing.[63]

On 30 November 2007, the 27 member states of the European Union unanimously agreed to move forward with the project, with plans for bases in Germany and Italy. Spain did not approve during the initial vote, but approved it later that day. This greatly improves the viability of the Galileo project: "The EU's executive had previously said that if agreement was not reached by January 2008, the long-troubled project would essentially be dead."[64]

On 3 April 2009, Norway too joined the programme pledging €68.9 million toward development costs and allowing its companies to bid for the construction contracts. Norway, while not a member of the EU, is a member of ESA.[65]

On 18 December 2013, Switzerland signed a cooperation agreement to fully participate in the program, and retroactively contributed €80 million for the period 2008–2013. As a member of ESA, it already collaborated in the development of the Galileo satellites, contributing the state-of-the-art hydrogen-maser clocks. Switzerland's financial commitment for the period 2014–2020 will be calculated in accordance with the standard formula applied for the Swiss participation in the EU research Framework Programme.[66]

In March 2018, the European Commission announced that the UK may be excluded from parts of the project (especially relating to the secured service PRS) following its exit from the European Union. As a result, Airbus plans to relocate work on the Ground Control Segment (GCS) from its Portsmouth premises to an EU state.[3] British officials have been reported to be seeking legal advice on whether they can reclaim the €1.4bn invested by the United Kingdom, of the €10bn spent to date.[67] In a speech at the EU Institute for Security Studies conference, Michel Barnier stressed the EU position that the UK had decided to leave the EU and thus all EU programmes, including Galileo.[68] In August 2018, it was reported the UK will look to create a competing GPS system to Galileo post-Brexit.[69]

Strikt genomen heb je uiteraard gelijk; ik ben me geheel bewust van feit dat 'Europa' niet geheel hetzelfde is als 'de EU'. Maar die termen worden wel vaker als synoniem gebruikt. En daar komt bij dat je het op zich prima een 'Europees systeem' kan noemen, aangezien de EU wordt gevormd door Europese landen. Het feit dat landen buiten Europa interesse hebben en hebben geïnvesteerd in het project, doet daar weinig aan af.
