The European Transport Council (ETC) approved 350 million euros in EU funding on 26 March to proceed with the Galileo navigation satellite project - Europe's version of the US global positioning system (GPS). The EU, in conjunction with private partners and the European Space Agency (ESA) hopes to deploy 30 satellites in orbit in 2006-07 and begin operating Galileo in 2008.
