This legislative resolution approves an agreement between the EU and the United States concerning the security procedures for launching EU's Galileo satellites from U.S. territory.

The agreement directly affects the European Union's space program, specifically the Galileo satellite constellation, and its cooperation with the United States on space launch activities.

The core change is the establishment of agreed-upon security protocols to govern these joint launch operations, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and technology during the launch process.

The European Parliament has given its consent to the conclusion of this agreement, paving the way for its formal adoption and implementation.
