EU tells UK: Cut the BS, sign here, and you can have access to Galileo sat's secure service

ESA's head of Navigation, Paul Verhoef, is a potential candidate to replace ESA's Director General, Jan Woermer - who has announced that he will not seek a renewal of his contract in 2021. As if by coincidence, 2021 is also the date when the EC's GSA (the EU body handling Galileo and EGNOS) will be transformed into the "EU Agency for the Space Programme". It seems likely that the EU-leaning Verhoef would like to see ESA "borged" into the EUSPA - or at least, ESA"s NAV division.
