"Kokouksessa ei saavutettu vielä yhteisymmärrystä, miten Galileo-satelliittipaikannushankkeessa edetään. Eräät jäsenmaat vaativat lisää tietoa hankkeen yksityisrahoituksesta ja rahoituksen vaiheistuksesta. Komissio tutkii asiaa ja tekee ehdotuksia ministereiden huhtikuun kokoukseen. Galileoon on tarkoitus tulla kaupallisia, ilmaisia ja julkisen sektorin palveluita. Suomi pitää tärkeänä, että Galileo-järjestelmä on avoin kaikille käyttäjille, laitevalmistajille ja palveluntarjoajille."
