   The objective of the Agreement is to encourage, facilitate and enhance cooperation between the Parties in civil global satellite navigation within European and Korean contributions to a civil global navigation satellite system (GNSS).
   Article 2
   Definitions
   For the purpose of this Agreement:

               (a)

               ‘Augmentation’ means regional or local mechanisms such as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). These mechanisms enable users of global GNSS to obtain enhanced performance, such as increased accuracy, availability, integrity, and reliability.

               (b)

               ‘Galileo’ means an autonomous civil European global satellite positioning navigation and timing system under civil control, for the provision of GNSS services designed and developed by the Community, its Member States and the European Space Agency. The operation of Galileo may be transferred to a private party. Galileo envisages open, commercial, safety of life and search and rescue services in addition to a secured public regulated service with restricted access designed to meet the needs of authorised public sector users.

               (c)

               ‘Galileo local elements’ are local mechanisms that provide the users of Galileo satellite-based navigation and timing signals with input information, in addition to that derived from the main constellation in use. Local elements may be deployed for additional performance around airports, seaports and in urban or other geographically challenging environments. Galileo will provide generic models for local elements.

               (d)

               ‘Global navigation, positioning and timing equipment’ means any civil end-user equipment designed to transmit, receive, or process satellite-based navigation or timing signals to provide a service, or to operate with a regional augmentation.

               (e)

               ‘Regulatory measure’ means any law, regulation, rule, procedure, decision, policy or administrative action.

               (f)

               ‘Interoperability’ means a situation at user level in which a dual-system receiver can use signals from two systems together for equal or better performance than when only one system is used.

               (g)

               ‘Intellectual property’ shall have the meaning given in Article 2 of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organisation, done at Stockholm, 14 July 1967.

               (h)

               ‘Liability’ means the legal accountability of a person or legal entity to compensate for damage caused to another person or legal entity in accordance with specific legal principles and rules. This obligation may be prescribed in an agreement (contractual liability) or in a legal norm (non-contractual liability).

               (i)

               ‘Classified information’ is information, whether it originates in the EU or is received from Member States, non-EU countries or international organisation, that requires protection against unauthorised disclosure, which could harm in various degrees the essential interests, including national security, of the Parties or of individual Member States. Its classification is indicated by a classification marking. Such information is classified in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and must be protected against any loss of confidentiality, integrity or availability.

         Article 3

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1998 terminating the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan (notified under document number C(1998) 2154) (98/464/EC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (3), and in particular Article 14 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. PROCEDURE (1) On 20 October 1997, the Commission received complaints concerning alleged injurious dumping and injurious subsidisation in respect of imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan.(2) Both complaints were lodged by Euratex (European Apparel and Textile Organisation), on behalf of all producers of certain woven glass fibre fabric in the Community.(3) These complaints contained evidence of dumping and subsidisation, and of material injury resulting therefrom, considered sufficient to justify the initiation of both an anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy proceeding.(4) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced in two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4) the initiation of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric, currently classifiable under CN codes ex 7019 52 00 and ex 7019 59 10 and originating in Taiwan.(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters, the importers, the upstream suppliers of glass fibre fabric, the downstream industrial users of woven glass fibre fabric known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notices of initiation.B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS (6) By letter of 4 June 1998 to the Commission, Euratex formally withdrew its anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan.(7) In accordance with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Article 14 of Council Regulation No 2026/97, when the complainant withdraws its complaint the proceeding may be terminated unless such termination would not be in the Community interest. The Commission considered that the present investigations have not brought to light any considerations of Community interest which would be against the termination of the proceedings.(8) Interested parties were informed that, under these circumstances, the Commission intended to terminate the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings, and were given the opportunity to comment. None raised any objection.(9) Therefore, it was concluded that the anti-dumping and the anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan, should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Sole Article The anti-dumping and the anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan are hereby terminated.Done at Brussels, 20 July 1998.For the CommissionLeon BRITTANVice-President(1) OJ L 56, 6. 3. 1996, p. 1.(2) OJ L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18.(3) OJ L 288, 21. 10. 1997, p. 1.(4) OJ C 366, 4. 12. 1997, p. 3 and 4.
