Za namen tega sporazuma:
(a) „razširjena storitev“ pomeni regionalne ali lokalne mehanizme, kot je Evropski geostacionarni navigacijski sistem (EGNOS). Ti mehanizmi omogočajo uporabnikom globalnega GNSS boljše rezultate, na primer večjo natančnost, razpoložljivost, celovitost in zanesljivost;
(b) „GALILEO“ pomeni avtonomni Evropski globalni satelitski sistem za navigacijo in določanje točnega časa v civilne namene in pod civilnim nadzorom, za zagotavljanje storitev GNSS, ki so jih oblikovale in razvile Skupnost, njene države članice ter Evropska vesoljska agencija. Upravljanje sistema GALILEO se lahko prenese na zasebnika. GALILEO predvideva javno dostopne storitve, komercialne storitve, storitve varovanja življenj, storitve iskanja in reševanja kot tudi varovane javne storitve z omejenim dostopom, ki so zasnovane za potrebe pooblaščenih uporabnikov iz javnega sektorja;
(c) „lokalni elementi GALILEO“ so lokalni mehanizmi, ki zagotavljajo uporabnikom signalov za satelitsko navigacijo in določanje točnega časa GALILEO, poleg podatkov iz glavne konstelacije v uporabi, še dodatne vhodne podatke. Lokalni elementi se lahko uporabljajo za dodatno zmogljivost na letališčih, v pristaniščih in urbanih ali drugih geografsko težavnih okoljih. GALILEO bo za lokalne elemente priskrbel generične modele;
(d) „oprema za globalno navigacijo, določanje položaja in točnega časa“ pomeni vsako opremo, namenjeno civilnemu končnemu uporabniku za prenos, sprejem ali obdelavo satelitskih navigacijskih signalov, za zagotavljanje storitev ali za uporabo razširjene lokalne storitve;
(e) „regulativni ukrep“ pomeni vsak zakon, uredbo, predpis, postopek, odločbo, politiko ali upravni ukrep;
(f) „interoperabilnost“ pomeni na uporabniški ravni stanje, v katerem dvosistemski sprejemnik lahko uporabi signale z dveh sistemov skupaj za enakovreden ali boljši učinek, kakor samo prek enega sistema;
(g) „intelektualna lastnina“ ima pomen, opredeljen v členu 2 Konvencije o ustanovitvi Svetovne organizacije za intelektualno lastnino, podpisane v Stockholmu 14. julija 1967;
(h) „odgovornost“ pomeni pravno odgovornost fizične ali pravne osebe zaradi povrnitve škode, povzročene drugi fizični ali pravni osebi, v skladu z določenimi pravnimi načeli in pravili. Ta odgovornost se lahko predpiše v sporazumu (pogodbena odgovornost) ali s pravno normo (nepogodbena odgovornost);
(i) „zaupne informacije“ so informacije, ki lahko izvirajo iz EU ali se prejmejo od držav članic, držav nečlanic EU ali mednarodne organizacije, ki zahtevajo varovanje pred nepooblaščenim razkritjem, ki bi lahko na razne načine škodilo bistvenim interesom, tudi nacionalni varnosti pogodbenic ali posameznih držav članic. Njihova zaupnost se označi z razvrstitveno oznako. Takšne informacije se razvrstijo v skladu z veljavnimi predpisi in zakoni ter morajo biti zaščiteni pred vsako izgubo zaupnosti, celovitosti ali dostopnosti.

4. This Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Marrakech Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization.

1. Recognising the value of coordinating approaches in international standardisation and certification concerning global satellite navigation services, the Parties will jointly support the development of GALILEO standards and promote their application worldwide, emphasising interoperability with other GNSS systems.
One objective of the coordination is to promote broad and innovative use of the GALILEO services for open, commercial and safety of life purposes as a worldwide navigation and timing standard. The Parties agree to endeavour to create favourable conditions for developing GALILEO applications.
2. To promote and implement the objectives of this Agreement, the Parties shall, as appropriate, cooperate on satellite positioning, navigation and timing-related matters that arise particularly in the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization and the International Telecommunications Union.
3. At the bilateral level the Parties shall ensure that measures relating to technical standards, certification and licensing requirements and procedures concerning GNSS do not constitute unnecessary barriers to trade. Domestic requirements shall be based on objective, non-discriminatory and applicable transparent criteria.
4. The Parties shall take the necessary regulatory measures to allow the use of GALILEO receivers, ground and space segments in the territories under their jurisdiction. In this regard, the government of the Republic of Korea in the area of radio communications shall grant GALILEO treatment no less favourable than that accorded to any other like services.
5. The Parties shall promote the participation of Korean representatives in European standardisation organisations.

1. The Parties shall cooperate with one other to define and implement ground system architectures allowing an optimal guarantee of GALILEO/EGNOS integrity, accuracy and continuity of GALILEO and EGNOS services and interoperability with other GNSS systems.
2. To this end the Parties will cooperate at the regional level with a view to implementing a ground regional augmentation system based on the GALILEO system in Korea. Such a regional system is expected to provide regional integrity services in addition to those provided by the GALILEO system globally. As a precursor, the Parties may consider the extension of EGNOS in the East Asian region.
3. At the local level, the Parties shall facilitate the development of local GALILEO elements.
