Public Regulated Service (Galileo) Regulations 2018 No. 230
This instrument implements Decision No 1104/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 (“the Decision”). The Decision sets out the rules for the access to the Public Regulated Service (PRS) provided by the global navigation satellite system established under the Galileo programme. The instrument creates the legislative framework to regulate the development, manufacture and use of the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) in the United Kingdom. It will also provide the mechanism to monitor compliance with the instrument and Decision. Access to PRS technology will be restricted to government authorised users, and used for sensitive applications which require a high level of service continuity. These will include emergency services and critical national infrastructure.
