European Commission looking for new ways to benefit from Galileo navigation system
 
DG Energy and Transport has published a Green Paper and launched an on-line consultation to explore, "what the public sector can do to create an appropriate policy and legal framework for supporting the development of satellite navigation applications." 
 
This Green Paper sets out the framework within which satellite navigation applications are developing and outlines questions for debate. It aims to prompt new ideas from industry, public authorities, consumer groups or consumers themselves in order to define concrete targets and the most appropriate public sector action with regard to GNSS.
 
A set of questions on applications development, on privacy and ethical issues, on the regulatory environment and others is raised throughout the document.  Replies will be analysed by the European Commission and used as a basis for recommendations to the Council and Parliament.
 
Deadline for responses is 6 April 2007.
