Europe will have to spend a further 1.9bn euros (=A31.6bn) to complete
its Galileo satellite-navigation system.
The European Commission says the money will be needed beyond 2014 to
raise the number of spacecraft in orbit to 30.
The EC released its assessment a day after a top executive from a
Galileo contractor was dismissed for allegedly calling the project a
"stupid idea".
EC Vice-President Antonio Tajani said the 3.4bn euros already
committed to Galileo was money well spent.
