BRUSSELS --- The Eurely consortium declared today:
Eurely is pleased that the GJU has again recognised the quality of its Galileo Concession offer, and is confident that its proposal will finally be selected as the preferred solution for the success of Galileo, its construction, operation and exploitation.
The Eurely consortium is committed to follow the GJU decision to start immediate negotiations and will provide excellent solutions towards the new process bringing the highest level of benefits for the public.
To be able to completely fulfil the future GJU requirements, the Eurely founding members ask for detailed information about the existing decision process. Of particular interest are the exact evaluation criterion, the technical reports and independent consultant analysis, which led to both GJU decisions in October 2004 and today.
