Majority of citizens across the European Union (EU) are behind the EU's move to set up its own navigation system like Galileo program, said a survey released by Eurobarometer, the EU's independent survey agency, on Tuesday.

"Eighty percent of respondents - consider that the European Union should set up its own independent system, while only 12 percent think that there is no need for such a development," said the survey.

GALILEO program, which aims to develop Europe's own satellite- based navigation system, is at its hard time as the European industry failed to honor its promise to building the system and the European Commission has proposed to build it by the EU's public fund.

The Eurobarometer survey questioned around 26 000 citizens all over the European Union on a range of issues linked to GALILEO, and satellite positioning systems in general.
