  "description": "Thirteen EU member states have jointly called on the European Commission to take immediate and coordinated action against interference with GNSS signals across EU countries. The interference, originating from Russia and Belarus due to the ongoing war with Ukraine, severely affects transport and critical infrastructure, particularly in the Baltic Sea region. The ministers propose measures including suspending radio resource rights to Russia and Belarus, enhancing EU-NATO cooperation for GNSS monitoring, accelerating deployment of interference-resistant GNSS services, and promoting resilient PNT services with complementary systems like Galileo. They also urge increased monitoring, intelligence sharing, and diplomatic pressure to manage and prevent ongoing GNSS disruptions.",

  "summary_extended": "On June 11, 2025, thirteen EU member states jointly appealed to the European Commission to urgently address increasing interference with GNSS signals affecting their countries, particularly in the Baltic Sea region. This interference, attributed to Russia and Belarus amid their ongoing conflict with Ukraine, threatens transportation, civil aviation, and maritime navigation. The signatories, including Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany, and others, demanded a range of measures such as suspending radio resource rights to Russia and Belarus, enhancing EU-NATO civilian and military cooperation on GNSS monitoring, and accelerating deployment of interference-resistant GNSS and resilient positioning, navigation and timing services. They also emphasize strengthening cooperation with international stakeholders like ITU and ESA to bolster Europe's critical infrastructure resilience and security. The letter underscores a shift from previous ineffective measures to a need for stronger diplomatic pressure and coordinated European response to safeguard GNSS integrity and connectivity.",
