While taking into account the technical and operational aspects of the infrastructure such approaches stress the economical dimensions of the Applications from both the public and private point of views, the development of syngergies between GNSS and other space programs . Development of Applications in the international context has to take into account the European industrial interests as well as the planning of R&D European effort.
