COOPERATION AGREEMENT ON A CIVIL GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND ITS MEMBER STATES AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL The European Community hereinafter referred to as the «Community», and the Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Hellenic Repu- blic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Re- public, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, contracting parties to the Treaty establishing the European Community, hereinafter referred to as «Member States», of the one part, and the State of Israel, hereinafter also re- ferred to as «Israel», of the other part, hereinafter referred to as «the Parties»: Considering the common interests in the development of a global navigation satellite system for civil use; Recognising the importance of GALILEO as a con- tribution to navigation and information infrastructure in Europe and Israel; Recognising the advanced state of Israel's satellite na- vigation activities; Considering the increasing development of GNSS ap- plications in Israel, Europe and other areas in the world; Desiring to strengthen the cooperation between Israel and the Community and taking into consideration the Euro- -Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association be- tween the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part ( 1 ), which entered into force on the 1 of June 2000; have agreed as follows: Article 1 Objective of the agreement The objective of the Agreement is to encourage, facili- tate and enhance cooperation between the Parties within European and Israeli contributions to a civil global navi- gation satellite system (GNSS). Article 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Agreement: «Augmentation» means regional or local mechanisms such as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). They provide the users of satellite -based navigation and timing signals with input information, extra to that derived from the main constellation(s) in use, and additional range/pseudo -range inputs or corrections to, or enhancements of, existing pseudo-range inputs.
These me- chanisms enable users to obtain enhanced performance, such as increased accuracy, availability, integrity and reliability; «GALILEO» means an autonomous civil European global satellite navigation and timing system under civil control, for the provision of GNSS services designed and developed by the Community and its Member States.
The operation of GALILEO may be transferred to a private party.
GALILEO envisages one or more services for open, commercial and safety of life purposes; «GALILEO local elements» are local mechanisms that provide the users of GALILEO satellite-based navigation and timing signals with input information, extra to that derived from the main constellation in use.
Local ele- ments may be deployed for additional performance around airports, seaports and in urban or other geographically challenging environments.
GALILEO will provide generic models for local elements; «Global navigation, positioning and timing equipment» means any civil end user equipment designed to transmit, receive, or process satellite -based navigation or timing signals to provide a service, or to operate with a regional augmentation; «Regulatory measure» means any law, regulation, rule, procedure, decision, administrative action or similar action by a Party; «Interoperability» means at user level a situation where a dual -system receiver can use signals from two systems together for equal or better performance than by using only one system; «Intellectual property» shall have the meaning found in ar- ticle 2 of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organisation, done at Stockholm, July 14, 1967; «Liability» means the legal accountability of a person or legal entity to compensate for damage caused to another person or legal entity in accordance with specific legal principles and rules.
This obligation may be prescribed in an agreement (contractual liability) or in a legal norm (non-contractual liability); «Classified information» means official information that requires protection in the interests of national defence or foreign relations of the Parties, and is classified in ac- cordance with their applicable laws and regulations.
For the European Union the rules are contained in Council Decision no. 2001/264/EC, of 19 March 2001, adopting the Council's security regulations ( 2 ). Article 3 Principles of the cooperation The Parties agreed to apply the following principles to cooperation activities covered by this agreement: 1) Mutual benefit based on an overall balance of rights and obligations including contributions; 2) Partnership in the GALILEO Programme in accor- dance with the procedures and rules governing the mana- gement of GALILEO; 3) Reciprocal opportunities to engage in cooperative ac- tivities in European and Israeli GNSS projects for civil use; 4) Timely exchange of information that may affect co- operative activities; 5) Appropriate protection of intellectual property rights as referred to in article 8(3) of this Agreement.
Article 4 Scope of cooperation activities 1 -- The sectors for cooperative activities in satellite navigation and timing are: scientific research, industrial manufacturing, training, application, service and market development, trade, radio-spectrum issues, integrity is- sues, standardisation and certification and security.
The Parties may adapt this list of issues by decision by the Joint Steering Committee established under article 14 of this Agreement. 2 -- Extending cooperation, if requested by the Parties to: 2.1 -- GALILEO sensitive technologies and items un- der EU, EU and ESA Member States, MTCR and WAS- SENAAR agreement export control regulation as well as cryptography and major information security technologies and items; 2.2 -- GALILEO System Security Architecture (space, ground and user segments); 2.3 -- Security control features of the GALILEO global segments; 2.4 -- Public Regulated Services in their definition, development, implementation, test and evaluation and operational (management and use) phases; as well as 2.5 -- Exchange of classified information concerning satellite navigation and GALILEO; would be subject to an appropriate separate agreement to be concluded between the Parties. 3 -- This Agreement shall not affect the application of European Community legislation establishing the GA- LILEO Joint Undertaking and its institutional structure or establishing a successor entity to the GALILEO Joint Undertaking.
Nor does this Agreement affect the appli- cable laws, regulations and policies implementing non- -proliferation commitments and export control for dual -use items and national domestic measures regarding security and controls of intangible transfers of technology.
Article 5 Forms of cooperation activities 1 -- Subject to their applicable regulatory measures, the Parties shall foster, to the fullest extent practicable, the cooperative activities under this Agreement with a view to providing comparable opportunities for participation in their activities in the sectors listed under article 4. 2 -- The Parties agree to conduct cooperative activities as mentioned in articles 6 to 13 of this Agreement.
Article 6 Radio spectrum 1 -- Building on past successes in the framework of the International Telecommunication Union, the Parties agree to continue cooperation and mutual support in radio- -spectrum issues. 2 -- In this context the Parties shall promote adequate frequency allocations for GALILEO in order to ensure the availability of GALILEO services for the benefit of users worldwide and notably in Israel and in the Community. 3 -- Moreover, the Parties recognise the importance to protect radio navigation spectrum from disruption and interference.
To this end they shall identify sources of interference and seek mutually acceptable solutions to combat such...
