Abstract:The Galileo programme was initiated in the mid-1990s with the aim of establishing a European global navigation satellite system. It has seen serious delays and cost-overruns. In this special report the Court audited the development and validation phase of the Galileo programme looking at which factors accounted for the failures. The Court concluded that management of the development and validation phase was inadequate. If the mid-2007 redirection of the EGNOS and Galileo programmes is to succeed, the Commission must considerably strengthen its management of the programmes. This report includes a number of recommendations aimed at supporting the Commission in this task. Finally, should the EU resolve to engage in other large infrastructure programmes, the Commission must use the appropriate management tools. |
