Kiina ja Israel jo ulkoistettiinkin Galileo-projektista. Nyt vuoroon tulee Iso-Britannia brexitin seurauksena.
Brexit risks pushing UK out of European space contracts
Punitive terms and security fears threaten involvement in Galileo programme
UK companies face being frozen out of lucrative European space contracts after Brussels laid out new terms for the latest phase of work on the €10bn Galileo satellite navigation system.The European Commission is demanding the right to cancel existing contracts without penalty if a supplier is no longer based in an EU member state. Galileo’s navigation services include a heavily encrypted, jam-resistant capability designed for government use that is reserved for EU member states and where UK industry has had a significant role. However, without a security agreement dictating the relationship between a post-Brexit UK and the EU, British companies could not be involved in work that touched on classified information, one person with knowledge of the situation said.“The issue for the moment appears to be the absence of agreements on security,” the person said. “The commission may be forced . . . not to accept UK companies. It was always clear there would be a price to pay for Brexit and this is the price.” https://www.ft.com/content/2f0e7a6e-1eff-11e7-a454-ab04428977f9
Kiina sai omat navigaatiosatelliittinsa kiertoradalle ennen EU:ta, ja Israelin vakoilusatelliitti lienevät maailman huippua muutenkin. Ison-Britannian teollisuusvakoilulle tuossa kai pannaan kapuloita rattaisiin. Tai vain vanhaa protektionismia.
