Galileo GPS system approved by EU

Officials in Brussels, Belgium say the satellite navigation system the European Union is planning will not clash with one already in operation by the United States.

This, as an agreement signed in that European nation will make sure that the proposed Galileo system will be compatible with the U-S owned Global Positioning System.

Galileo is slated to begin operation 2008. Together the two systems are expected to become a single world standard for positioning and radio navigation.
