Now We Know..
The EU are willing to delay a project and increase other member states costs just to prove a point that doesn’t need making.

We might as well just trot off now rather than go begging for scraps from an organisation that would rather cut off its nose to spite its face.

David Davis says so, so it must be true.
Is that the same Davis who vowed to resign if his chum Damien was sacked? The one who said Britain would be near completion of a wide range of trade deals by, er, last September? The one who said trade talks and Brexit talks would run side by side?
I trust him absolutely!

Long before the "Common Market", posing then as a trading arrangement, morphed into the EU - a political project which wants to eliminate sovereign states and create a federal Europe controlled by a self-selecting and self-perpetuating bureaucracy - post-war European nations were freely co-operating on matters of shared interest. NATO? Interpol?
I don't know that Galileo is one such. Some rule that only EU members can be subscribers to the Galileo project?

Galileo is a joint EU-ESA (European Space Agency) project.
ESA members Switzerland and Norway (non-EU states) are funding partners of the project.
2003 China joined the project before dropping out in 2006 to focus on its Beidou navigation system.
2004 Israel became a partner in the project.
2005 Ukraine and Morocco became partners in the project
It makes perfect sense for the UK to not participate.

Galileo is Europe's alternative to GPS which is US owned and built. It promises to be far more accurate. It was built and financed by the European Union. We are leaving the EU, so we won’t be part of the project anymore.
The European Space Agency, which we will remain part of after brexit, was the contractor tasked with launching the satellites. Their job is now completed, all the parts of Galileo are now in space.
So basically, by opting out of the EU, we have opted out of the benefits of this new system.
I assume the UK Government will have to pay to use it, and UK Telecoms will pay more to license its use than their EU rivals.
We have quit the club so we don’t get to use its facilities for free anymore.

The UK won't be a member state anymore. This limits the information/data the EU can share with it. Galileo includes sensitive civil and military data, which cannot be shared with non-members. If the UK was not rashly ruling out participation in every European project and organisation under the sun to appease extremist Tories, this would not be an issue.
Also, David Davis is a liar. He is one of the most singularly untrustworthy people in UK politics - second only to the PM herself, perhaps. This is clumsy spin for a decision that makes perfect sense from the EU's point of view. In fact given the UK govt's behaviour it is difficult to see how they could have made s different one.
Bluntly, this is yet another thing that nobody gave any thought to during the referendum campaign.
