Un Wiki<\/em>-c\u00e2ble (d)\u00e9tonnant sur Galileo<\/em><\/h4>\n

Le quotidien norv\u00e9gien Aftenposten<\/em>, qui dispose de tous les c\u00e2bles diplomatiques US (250.000) r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9s par WikiLeaks<\/em>, est devenu une source int\u00e9ressante de la diffusion distill\u00e9e de ces Wiki<\/em>-c\u00e2bles. L’un des derniers en date, embarrassant une fois de plus pour l’Allemagne, a conduit \u00e0 la d\u00e9mission du pr\u00e9sident directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de la firme allemande de construction de satellites OHB.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEUObserver<\/em> publie un article sur cette affaire ce 18 janvier 2011<\/a>. On notera que, fort curieusement, ou bien ajoutant cr\u00e9dit \u00e0 des informations tendancieuses remontant aux ann\u00e9es 1970 (sur l’emploi et les objectifs des missiles nucl\u00e9aires sol-sol \u00e0 courte port\u00e9e fran\u00e7ais Pluton<\/em>), le dirigeant d’OHB qui d\u00e9nonce le programme Galileo<\/em> comme une machination fran\u00e7aise, ressort dans sa conversation avec ses interlocuteurs US l’id\u00e9e que des missiles nucl\u00e9aires fran\u00e7ais sont pr\u00e9-programm\u00e9s pour des objectifs \u00e0 Berlin m\u00eame<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abOn Monday (17 January) the board of German satellite firm OHB Technology sacked Mr Berry Smutny after last week’s release of the diplomatic cable containing the remarks caused consternation.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbI think Galileo is a stupid idea that primarily serves French interests, Mr Smutny reportedly told US diplomats, according to the October 2009 cable from the US embassy in Berlin, obtained by WikiLeaks and released by Norwegian daily Aftenposten.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMr Smutny’s firm was jointly awarded a 566 million contract to develop 14 satellites for the Galileo system, originally forecast to cost 3.4 billion but recently reported to be heading for a final bill closer to 20 billion.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe project, due to become operational in 2014, is a waste of EU taxpayers’ money, Mr Smutny is documented as saying. He claimed the EU desire to develop a redundant but alternative to GPS was spearheaded by the French after an incident during the Kosovo conflict when the US military manipulated’ GPS to support military operations, the cable read.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSince this time, he said France has aggressively corralled EU support to invest in Galileo development something Smutny said France wants to ensure their missile guidance systems are free of any GPS reliance. Smutny added, the irony for German investment in Galileo is that some of France’s nuclear missiles are aimed at Berlin, it continued.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb<Approached by Aftenposten to comment on the cable, the former CEO conceded that he had met US officials but denied making the remarks. In as statement on Monday however, the supervisory board of OHB Technology said it had passed a unanimous resolution to revoke Mr Smutny’s appointment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbOther unrelated sackings caused by the WikiLeaks cables include the former chief of staff to Germany’s vice-chancellor Guido Westerwelle, accused of spying for the Americans<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
