Here is a link where you can find some info on it:

http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/energy_transport/galileo/index_en.htm

Propaganda works both ways. When you read some of the documents on
the above site, you may notice subtle or blatant "anti-GPS
propaganda."

To that I will note that GPS is up and running providing an awesome
PNT system to the world and is undergoing improvements that will
provide increased accuracy, robustness, etc. And the cost to our
friends in the EU.......ZERO. Not one euro, franc, shilling, mark,
pound, peso......
