EU nations have already joined the program and discussions are also underway with Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Norway, Chile, South Korea, Malaysia, Canada and Australia. The EU will soon allocate an initial ¤1 billion (US$1.2 billion) from its 2007-2013 budget to fund deployment and commercial operations of the Galileo satellite system. The private sector will contribute two-thirds of funds for the project, which is expected to create more than 150,000 jobs in Europe alone. Galileo will more than double the coverage provided by GPS, providing satellite navigation for everyone from motorists to sailors to mapmakers.
