CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

110 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

To bring the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 of 12 July 2004 on 
the  establishment  of  structures  for  the  management  of  the  European  satellite 
radio-navigation programmes into line with those of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of 
the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  9  July  2008  on  the  further 
implementation  of  the  European  satellite  navigation  programmes  (EGNOS  and 
Galileo). In recital 17 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008, the European Parliament and 
the Council also invited the Commission to ‘put forward a proposal in order to align 
formally the management structures of the programmes as set out in Regulation (EC) 
No 1321/2004 with the new roles of the Commission and the Authority’. 

120 

General background 

In order to reflect the fact that the Galileo Joint Undertaking would cease activities on 
31 December  2006,  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004,  amended  by  Council  Regulation 
(EC) No 1942/2006 of 12 December 2006, established a Community agency, called the 
European  GNSS  (Global  Navigation  Satellite  System)  Supervisory  Authority.  The 
Authority’s original role and tasks were defined in order to meet the requirements of 
the  system  provided  for  at  that  time  for  the  concession  for  the  management  and 
financing of the Galileo programme’s deployment and operational phases. This system 
was discontinued in 2007, and responsibility for the management and financing of the 
deployment phase of the programme will no longer lie with the private sector. 

Regulation (EC) No 683/2008, which entered  into  force  on  25  July  2008,  defines  the 
new  framework  for  the  public  governance  and  financing  of  the  Galileo  and  EGNOS 
programmes. It sets out the principle of the strict division of responsibilities between 
the  European  Community,  represented  by  the  Commission,  the  Authority  and  the 
European Space Agency, granting the Commission responsibility for the management 
of  the  programmes  and  setting  out  precisely  the  tasks  given  at  that  time  to  the 
Authority. It also provides that the Authority will accomplish such tasks entrusted to it 
whilst  respecting  the  Commission’s  role  as  manager  of  the  programmes  and  in 
accordance with guidelines issued by the Commission. Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 
therefore implicitly and substantially amended Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004. 

For  the  three  reasons  given  above,  it  is  now  important  to  bring  certain  provisions  of 
Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 into line with those of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008.  

Firstly,  the  current  situation,  characterised  by  the  coexistence  of  two  texts  which 
contradict  each  other  in  places,  is  unsatisfactory  from  a  legal  point  of  view.  The 
uncertainty  and  ambiguity  created  by  this  situation  must  be  removed  as  soon  as 
possible,  so  as  to  ensure  the  credibility  of  the  programmes’  legal  framework, 
particularly vis-à-vis third parties. 

Secondly,  a  solid  framework  for  security  is  urgently  required.  Regulation  (EC) 
No 683/2008 stipulates that the Commission is to manage all questions relating to the 
security  of  the  systems,  but  also  makes  the  Supervisory  Authority  responsible  for 

EN 

2 

   EN 

 
ensuring  security  accreditation.  The  precise  role  of  the  Authority  in  this  regard 
therefore needs to be quickly clarified. 

(EC)  No 683/2008 

implicitly  and  comprehensively  amended 

Thirdly,  there  is  a  need  to  ensure  good  governance  for  these  programmes.  Although 
the 
Regulation 
Supervisory Authority’s responsibilities, it had no impact on its internal organisation, 
and the Commission’s influence in this area continues to be very limited. In order to 
ensure that the Authority acts while respecting the ‘Commission’s role as manager of 
the programmes’ and ‘in accordance with guidelines issued by the Commission’, as is 
now provided for by Regulation (EC) No 683/2008, it is necessary to make changes to 
increase the Commission’s influence within the Authority’s internal organisation. This 
approach  also  reflects  the  new  policy  defined  by  the  Commission  with  regard  to 
Community agencies. 

130 

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1321/2004  of  12  July  2004  on  the  establishment  of 
structures for the management of the European satellite radio-navigation programmes, 
amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1942/2006 of 12 December 2006. 

Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 
2008  on  the  further  implementation  of  the  European  satellite  navigation  programmes 
(EGNOS and Galileo). 

The aim of the proposal is to amend the first of these two regulations. 

140 

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The Galileo and EGNOS programmes fall entirely within the framework of the ‘Lisbon 
Strategy’. 

CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

Consultation of stakeholders 

219 

229 

230 

The  consultation  of  stakeholders  does  not  apply  in  this  case,  since  the  proposal 
involves bringing an existing text into line with another one, adopted more recently. 

Collection and use of expertise 

It has not been necessary to call in outside expertise. 

Impact assessment 

The only logical option is to bring the text of Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 into line 
with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 638/2008, which came into force on 25 July 
2008. 

The  other  option  would  be  to  leave  the  text  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004 
unchanged,  which  would  not  be  satisfactory  from  a  legal  point  of  view,  would  cause 
major  security  problems  and  would  not  ensure  the  good  governance  of  these

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

305 

Summary of the proposed action 

Amendment  to  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1321/2004  of  12  July  2004  on  the 
establishment  of  structures 
the  European  satellite 
radio-navigation programmes.

for 

310 

Legal basis 

Article 156 of the Treaty. 

329 

Subsidiarity principle 

The proposal concerns an area that falls under exclusive Community competence. The 
subsidiary principle therefore does not apply. 

Proportionality principle 

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reasons. 

The action proposed is proportional to its desired objective in so far as, firstly, only a 
regulation  may  amend  a  previous  regulation,  and  secondly,  the  measures  proposed 
solely  involve  amending  the  text  in  the  light  of  the  legal  situation  resulting  from  the 
entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008.  

The  financial  and  administrative  work  resulting  from  the  proposal  are  insignificant, 
given  that  the  financial  and  administrative  questions  relating  to  the  Galileo  and 
EGNOS programmes have already been discussed in Regulation (EC) No 683/2008.  

Choice of instruments 

Proposed instrument(s): Regulation. 

Other instruments would not have been appropriate for the following reasons. 

Under  the  principle  of  congruent  forms,  only  a  regulation  may  amend  a  previous 
regulation.

Simplification 

The proposal simplifies the legislative framework. 

The  measures  proposed  help  avoid  any  risk  of  confusion  or  ambiguity  in  legal  terms

between  two  successive  texts  which  contradict  each  other  in  part.  They  are  therefore 
designed to rationalise the Community acquis. 

520 

Repeal of existing legislation 

The  adoption  of  this  proposal  will  mean  that  some  legislative  provisions  must  be 
repealed.

European Economic Area 

This  draft  instrument  concerns  a  matter  covered  by  the  EEA  Agreement  and  should 
therefore be extended to the European Economic Area.

Detailed explanation of the proposal by chapter or by article 

To amend the aim and objective, tasks and name of the Community agency established 
under Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004, so as to amend them to reflect the provisions of 
Regulation (EC) No 683/2008. 

To increase the role and the powers of the Commission within this agency in order to 
ensure  that,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008,  the 
agency  performs  its  task  whilst  respecting  the  Commission's  role  as  manager  and  in 
accordance with the guidelines provided by the Commission. 

To  set  up  a  framework  within  which  the  agency  assumes  the  responsibility  for 
providing security accreditations, which it has been entrusted with, and to this end, to 
set  up,  within  the  agency,  a  committee  for  European  GNSS  systems’  security 
accreditations. 

To  remove  the  provisions  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004  on  the  ownership  of 
systems,  once  the  European  Community  becomes  owner  of  these  systems  in 
accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 
156 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee2, 

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions3, 

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty, 

Whereas:

(2) 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004  of  12  July  2004  on  the  establishment  of 
structures for the management of the European satellite radio-navigation programmes4, 
as  amended  by  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 1942/2006  of  12  December  20065  in 
order  to  reflect  the  fact  that  the  Galileo  Joint  Undertaking  would  cease  activities  on 
31 December  2006,  established  a  Community  agency,  called  the  European  GNSS 
Supervisory Authority, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Authority’. 

The  role  and  the  tasks  of  the  Authority,  set  out  in  Articles  1  and  2  respectively  of 
Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004, were defined in order to meet the requirements of the 
system  for  the  concession  of  the  management  and  financing  of  the  deployment  and 
operational phases of the Galileo programme. This system was discontinued in 2007, 
and  responsibility  for  management  and  financing  of  the  deployment  phase  of  the 
programme will no longer be awarded to the private sector.

(EGNOS  and  Galileo)6  defines  the  new  framework  for  the  public  governance  and 
financing of the Galileo and EGNOS programmes. It sets out the principle of the strict 
division  of  responsibilities  between  the  European  Community,  represented  by  the 
Commission, the Authority and the European Space Agency (hereafter referred to as 
‘ESA’),  granting  the  Commission  responsibility  for  the  management  of  the 
programmes  and  setting  out  the  tasks  given  at  that  time  to  the  Authority.  It  also 
provides that the Authority, when accomplishing such tasks entrusted to it, will ensure 
that  the  Commission’s  role  as  manager  of  the  programmes  is  respected  and  that  the 
Authority will act in accordance with guidelines issued by the Commission. 

As a result, the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 must be brought 
into line with those of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and 
of the Council. 

to 

Firstly, the title of the regulation should therefore be changed, as it should no longer 
the  structures  for  the  management  of  European  satellite 
generally  refer 
radio-navigation  programmes,  but  should  only  make  reference  to  the  creation  of  a 
Community  agency.  Furthermore,  the  name  of  this  agency,  in  view  of  its  reduced 
sphere  of  activity,  should  no  longer  be  called  the  ‘European  GNSS  Supervisory 
Authority’, but rather the ‘GNSS Agency’ (hereinafter ‘Agency’). 

It is also necessary to amend the first article of Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 on its 
aim and objectives, which must be exclusively the institution of the Agency, with no 
provision  made  for  the  Agency  being  responsible  for  the  management  of  public 
interests relating to GNSS European programmes and for regulating such programmes. 

It is also important to amend Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 on the tasks 
of the Agency, and, in this regard, to ensure that its missions, as referred to in Article 
16 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008, are defined. 

The  new  title  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004  and  the  new  name  of  the  Agency 
mean that all parts of the text of this regulation mentioning the previous title and name 
should be amended. 

Furthermore, since Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 makes the European Community the 
owner  of  all  tangible  and  intangible  assets  created  or  developed  under  the 
programmes,  the  provisions  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004  concerning  the 
ownership of the systems are no longer applicable and should be deleted.

(7) 

(8) 

(9) 

(10) 

In  order  to  ensure  that  the  Agency  accomplishes  its  tasks  whilst  respecting  the 
Commission’s role as manager of the programmes and in accordance with guidelines 
issued  by  the  Commission,  it  is  also  important,  firstly,  to  state  explicitly  that  the 
Agency  be  managed  by  its  Executive  Director  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Administrative  Board,  in  accordance  with  the  guidelines  provided  to  the  Agency  by 
the Commission, and secondly, to provide that the Commission representative on the 
Agency’s Administrative Board has half the board’s votes. 

(11) 

It  is  also  necessary  to  allow  the  European  Parliament  to  be  represented  on  the 
Agency’s  Administrative  Board  as  an  observer,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  Regulation 

6 

OJ L 196, 24.7.2008, p. 1. 

EN

   EN 

 
                                                 
(EC)  No 683/2008  highlighted  the  usefulness  of  close  cooperation  between  the 
European  Parliament,  the  Council  and  the  Commission.  In  order  to  ensure  good 
governance  of  the  programmes,  the  Executive  Director’s  term  of  office  should 
therefore be reduced from five to four years. 

(12)  Furthermore, in view of the scope of the tasks entrusted to the Agency, which include 
security  accreditation,  the  Agency’s  Scientific  and  Technical  Committee  should  be 
disbanded  and  its  System  Security  and  Safety  Committee  replaced  by  a  security 
accreditation  committee  for  European  GNSS  systems,  to  be  responsible  for  security 
accreditation,  and  formed  of  representatives  from  the  Member  States  and  the 
Commission, with the SG/HR and ESA having an observer role. 

(13)  Accreditation  activities  should  be  carried  out  independently  of  the  authorities 
responsible for managing the programmes, notably the Commission, the other bodies 
of  the  Agency  and  ESA,  and  other  entities  responsible  for  implementing  provisions 
with regard to security. As a result, the security accreditation committee for European 
GNSS systems should also be the authority for accrediting security systems and also, 
within the Agency, an autonomous body that takes its decisions independently. 

(14)  Given  that  the  Commission,  in  accordance  with  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2006, 
manages all aspects relating to system security, in order to ensure efficient governance 
of security issues and so that the principle of strict division of responsibilities provided 
for under that Regulation is complied with, it is essential for the Committee’s activities 
to  be  strictly  limited  to  the  security  accreditation  of  systems  and  that  under  no 
circumstances should they replace the Commission’s activities. 

(15) 

It  is  also  important  for  accreditation  activities  to  be  coordinated  with  the  work  of 
authorities responsible for managing the programmes and other entities responsible for 
implementing  security  provisions.  With  this  in  mind,  it  is  essential  for  the  security 
accreditation  committee  for  European  GNSS  systems  to  be  chaired  by  the 
Commission’s representative. 

(16)  Given the specific nature and complexity of the systems, it is essential for the security 
accreditation committee for European GNSS systems to work on a collective basis, by 
making  efforts  to  reach  a  consensus  and  by  involving  all  parties  with  an  interest  in 
security, and for a permanent monitoring procedure to be put in place so that the high 
number  of  individual  decisions  can  be  managed  as  effectively  as  possible.  It  is  also 
imperative  that  accreditation  activities  be  entrusted  to  distinguished  persons,  duly 
qualified  in  the  field  of  accrediting  complex  systems  and  with  an  adequate  level  of 
security clearance. 

(17) 

(18) 

In  order  to  ensure  that  this  committee  can  accomplish  its  tasks,  it  should  also  be 
provided  that  Member  States  supply  the  committee  with  any  useful  documentation, 
that they should grant appointed staff access to any areas relevant to systems security 
situated  on  their  territory,  and  that  they  should  be  responsible  at  local  level  for  the 
accreditation of the security of areas located within their territory. 

In  order  to  ensure  sound  administrative  management,  the  Agency’s  Administrative 
Board  must  be  able  to  take  any  decision  which  may  ensure  that  the  Agency  can 
accomplish  its  task.  Similarly,  the  date  on  which  the  Administrative  Board  of  the 
Agency  should  send  the  various  Community  institutions  the  annual  report  on  the 

EN 

8 

   EN 

 
activities and perspectives of the Agency (after adoption thereof) in accordance with 
Article 6(g) of Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004, must be the same as that on which the 
Executive Director of the Agency sends the final Agency accounts to these institutions 
in accordance with Article 12(6) of that Regulation. 

(19)  The  systems  established  within 

the 

framework  of 

the  European  satellite 
radio-navigation  programmes  are  infrastructures  whose  use  extends  well  beyond  the 
national  boundaries  of  the  Member  States,  and  are  infrastructures  set  up  as 
trans-European  networks  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Article  156  of  the 
Treaty.  Furthermore,  the  services  provided  via  such  systems  contribute  to  the 
development of trans-European networks in the areas of transport, telecommunications 
and energy infrastructures.

The  work  of  the  committee  shall  be  strictly  limited  to  the  accreditation  activities 
defined above and under no circumstances may it replace the work entrusted to the 
Commission under Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008. 

3. The committee shall be composed of one representative per Member State and one 
from  the  Commission,  chosen  from  among  acknowledged  accreditation  experts.  A 
representative  of  the  SG/HR  and  an  ESA  representative  shall  attend  committee 
meetings as observers.  

4. In carrying out its tasks, the committee shall observe the following principles: 

-  tasks  shall  be  carried  out  on  a  collective  basis,  with  efforts  being  made  to 

reach a consensus and involving all parties with an interest in security issues; 

-  a  permanent  monitoring  procedure  shall  be  set  up  to  ensure  that  the  high 

number of individual decisions can be managed as effectively as possible.

-  the  accreditation  activities  shall  be  entrusted  to  distinguished  persons,  duly 
qualified in the field of accrediting complex systems and with an adequate level of 
security clearance; 

- accreditation activities shall be carried out while reconciling the requirement 
for  independence  and  the  need  for  adequate  coordination,  both  as  regards  the 
authorities responsible for managing the programmes and the authorities responsible 
for implementing security provisions. 

5.  The  committee  shall  be  chaired  by  a  representative  of  the  Commission.  The 
committee shall establish its rules of procedure. 

6. The committee shall have all access to all resources necessary for the performance 
of its tasks, notably in order to open files, initiate and monitor the implementation of 
security  procedures  and  perform  system  security  audits,  prepare  decisions  and 
assume  responsibility  for  its  secretariat,  in  conjunction  with  the  Commission,  the 
SG/HR, ESA and the Member States. 

7. The committee shall reach decisions on the basis of majority voting, as provided 
for in Article 205(2) of the Treaty. The votes of the representatives of the Member 
States within the Committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. 
The chairman of the committee shall not vote. 

Where  appropriate,  the  Commission  shall  inform  the  European  GNSS  programmes 
committee set up under Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the impact of 
the committee’s decisions on the smooth running of the programmes. 

8.  Whenever  the  security  of  the  European  Union  or  its  Member  States  may  be 
affected  by  the  deliberations  of  the  committee,  the  procedures  set  out  in  Council 
Joint  Action  2004/552/CFSP  of  12  July  2004  on  aspects  of  the  operation  of  the 
European  satellite  radio-navigation  system  affecting  the  security  of  the  European 
Union7 shall apply. 

9. The Member States shall: 

–  transmit all useful documentation to the committee; 

–  authorise  staff appointed  by the committee to have access to any areas affecting 

the security of systems located upon their territory; 

–  be  responsible,  at  local  level,  for  the  accreditation  of  security  of  areas  located 
upon  their  territory  and  forming  part  of  the  security  accreditation  area  for 
European GNSS systems; cooperate, to this end, with the committee.’ 

(13)  Article 11(2) shall be replaced by the following: 

‘2) The expenditure of the Agency shall cover staff, administrative and infrastructure 
expenditure,  operating  costs  and  expenditure  associated  with  the  functioning  of  the 
European  GNSS  systems  security  accreditation  committee  and  the  contracts  and

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

5.1. 

Need to be met in the short or long term 

Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004  needs  to  be  amended  explicitly  and  quickly  for  the 
following reasons: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

The  current  situation,  which  can  be  characterised  by  the  coexistence  of  two 
texts which in places contradict each other – Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 
and  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008  –  is  unsatisfactory  from  a  legal  point  of 
view.  The  uncertainty  and  ambiguity  created  by  this  situation  must  be 
removed  as  soon  as  possible  and  the  provisions  of  Regulation  (EC) 
No 1321/2004 amended to bring them into line with those of Regulation (EC) 
No 683/2008.  It  is  a  question  of  ensuring  the  credibility  of  the  legal 
framework of the programmes, particularly vis-à-vis third parties. 

Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 provides that the Commission is to manage all 
aspects  relating  to  system  security,  but  at  the  same  time  entrusts  the 
Supervisory  Authority  to  ensure  accreditation  with  regards  to  security.  The 
precise role of the Authority as regards security and accreditation needs to be 
quickly clarified. 

There  is  a  need  for  public  governance  of  the  programmes.  Regulation  (EC) 
No 683/2008  does  not  change  the  Authority’s  internal  organisation,  over 
which  the  Commission’s  influence  continues  to  be  very  limited.  In  order  to 
ensure  that  the  Authority  now  acts  while  respecting  ‘the  Commission’s  role 
as manager of the programmes’ and ‘in accordance with guidelines issued by 
the Commission’, this situation needs to be rectified. 

It  should  also  be  noted  that  in  recital  17  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008,  the 
European  Parliament  and  the  Council  asked  the  Commission  to  ‘put  forward  a 
proposal in order to align formally the management structures of the programmes as 
set out in Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 with the new roles of the Commission and 
the Authority’. 

5.2. 

Value-added  of  Community  involvement  and  coherence  of  the  proposal  with 
other financial instruments and possible synergy 

As  indicated  in  recital  33  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008,  the  establishment  of 
satellite  radio-navigation  systems  cannot  be  sufficiently  achieved  by  the  Member 

EN 

17 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
States  since  this  objective  exceeds  the  financial  and  technical  capabilities  of  any 
single  Member  State.  Action  at  Community  level  is  therefore  the  most  appropriate 
basis for completing the European GNSS programmes (Galileo and EGNOS). 

Furthermore,  for  the  reasons  set  out  in  point  5.1  above,  the  proposal  is  of  course 
compatible  with  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008,  which  constitutes  the  basic  act  for 
European  GNSS  programmes  and  provides,  inter  alia,  for  the  financing  thereof 
during the 2008-13 period. 

5.3. 

Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context 
of the ABM framework 

Under this amendment to a regulation, the agency has the following objectives: 

•  security accreditation; the agency is to initiate and monitor the implementation of 
security procedures and perform security audits on European GNSS systems;  

•  contribute  to  the  preparation  of  the  commercialisation  of  European  GNSS 

systems, including the necessary market analysis; 

•  operate  the  Galileo  security  centre,  implemented  in  accordance  with  decisions 
taken  pursuant  to  Article  13  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 683/2008  of  the  European 
Parliament  and  the  Council  and  the  instructions  provided  under  Joint  Action 
2004/552/CFSP; 

It  should  be  noted  that  the  financial  programming  made  explicit  reference  to 
objectives  1  and  2,  since  they  already  featured  in  the  tasks  entrusted  to  the  agency 
under  Regulation  (EC)  No 1321/2004,  as  amended  by  Regulation  1942/2006. 
However,  the  amendment  which  is  the  subject  of  this  document  mentions  a  third 
responsibility (the operation of the security centre), which has a major impact on the 
agency’s staffing levels and therefore on budgetary programming, particularly in the 
last two years (when the security centre began its activities).

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

6.1.  Monitoring system 

The Agency’s accounts will be submitted for the approval of the Court of Auditors, 
and  subject  to  the  discharge  procedure.  The  Commission’s  Internal  Audit  Service 
will be the agency's internal auditor. 

6.2. 

Evaluation 

6.2.1.  Ex-ante evaluation 

An ex-ante evaluation was carried out when the agency was set up in 2004. 

6.2.2.  Measures taken  following  an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from 

similar experiences in the past) 

This amendment to the agency’s rules of procedure is designed to take into account 
the lessons learned from the experience of managing the agency and its contribution 
and its role in European satellite radio-navigation programmes.  

It  forms  part  of  a  wider  assessment  of  the  management  of  European  satellite 
radio-navigation  programmes  and  which  has  resulted  in  the  adoption  of  Regulation 
No 683/2008. 

6.2.3.  Terms and frequency of future evaluation

Titles 1 & 2 correspond to staffing levels of 23 temporary agents (TAs) and 12 contract agents (CAs) or seconded national experts (SNEs). 
Title  2  corresponds  in  particular  to  expenditure  not  directly  proportional  to  staff  due  to  the  temporary  reduction  of  Agency  staff  levels 
(particularly the hire of premises adapted for 60 people).  

Title 3 is EUR 3 300 million, after taking into account the use of EUR 2 million from assigned revenue due to the carry-over from the 2007 
year, and taking into account the amounts put in reserve by the Parliament (0.390 million). It is important to note that activities related to the 
administration  of  the  Agency,  and  particularly  to  the  requirements  of  Community  fund  management  quality,  represent  an  operating  budget 
component which cannot be reduced and which is a major burden on Title 1&2 (autonomy of computer systems, financial autonomy, interface 
with the services of the other institutions, etc.). 

In 2010, the increase in Titles 1&2 corresponds to the addition of five TAs, one of which to support the Agency's administrative structure, and 
four  of  which  relate  to  activities  related  to  system  security.  Expenditure  not  directly  proportional  to  staff  is  primarily  linked  to  the  cost  of 
recruiting  these  new  staff  members  and  the  necessary  IT  updates  (the  agency  having  inherited  some  equipment  from  the  Galileo  Joint 
Undertaking,  acquired  in  2005  and  which  will  need  to  be  replaced).  Title  3  is  reduced  to  2 500.  Title  3  is  reduced  to  2 500,  a  sum  which 
should mean the Authority will continue to be able to carry out individual market surveys and studies on security issues using its own budget. 
This sum is maintained for subsequent years (2011-13). 

In 2011, the increase is limited to one temporary agent (security), specifically responsible for the security centre project and one contract agent 
(operations).

In 2012, the start of the operation of the Galileo security centre will mean a significant increase in staff numbers, with 8 additional temporary 
agents being assigned to the centre. This corresponds to the start-up phase (establishing procedures, systems testing environments, training, 
etc.) for this centre. A contract agent post will also be created to support this centre (accounting, administration, etc.). 

In 2013, the centre will be fully operational (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), which will mean five additional temporary agents assigned to the 
centre. 

It is assumed that the centre will be based in Brussels within pre-existing infrastructure and premises will therefore not have to be adapted 
significantly. If the centre is based elsewhere, the budgetary impact of this will have to be examined at the time this decision is made. The size 
of the teams is the result of initial studies requested by the Authority and has been compared to the provision made for this type of 24/7 centre 
in other areas (particularly EMSA).
