Morocco to join EU Galileo project
Morocco will join the European Union's Galileo satellite navigation programme, becoming the first African nation to participate in the project that will rival the US GPS system.
"The agreement reached today lays the basis for Morocco's active participation" in the 3.6 billion euros ($4.3 billion) programme, the European Commission said in a statement on Tuesday. "It also represents a great opportunity for Galileo to become established in the western Mediterranean region," it said. Morocco will be the fifth non-EU nation to join, though details of its participation have yet to be negotiated.
