Freedom of expression - including access to FM news - is a fundamental prerequisite for an effective democracy.

Mr. Peter Julian: Do you know whether the criteria are based on infrared systems or FM systems?

There's no interference with the FM stations in Montreal that reach into the U.S., and the U.S. stations that reach into Canada.

"Special fissile material" (0) means plutonium-239, uranium-233, "uranium enriched in the isotopes 235 or 233", and any material containing the foregoing.

Since it is impossible to selectively jam a navigation signal using the same modulation and frequencies as another signal without seriously degrading it, allowing a full overlay with the same modulation of one of the two Galileo PRS signals with one of the two GPS M code signals means that the United States must reach an agreement with the Europe Community to ensure that its policy on any exports of PRS receivers is coordinated and compatible with theirs.

Until now, in its negotiations with the Americans, the Commission has put forward the scenario that the United States will not be able to jam one of the planned PRS signals because it will be overlaid on one of the future military GPS signals and it is not possible to selectively jam one of two signals overlaid on a single frequency band with the same modulation. As explained in point3.3 hereabove, the modulation used for the overlay would enable Galileo to transmit a much more "robust" and reliable signal. As a result, the United States would not be able to selectively jam G ...[+++]alileo PRS users. A political agreement on the cooperation necessary between the two radionavigation systems is required in preparation for a crisis or in the event of a crisis.
