Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:

(5) The Agreement should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date.
(6) In view of ensuring the immediate implementation and the appropriate participation of Switzerland in the European satellite navigation programmes, elements falling within the Union's competence should be provisionally applied in accordance with Article 27(2) of the Agreement.
(7) Pursuant to its Article 27(1), the Agreement should be approved by the Union and its Member States in accordance with their internal procedures.
(8) The position of the Union within the Joint Committee is to be adopted by the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, insofar as the Committee is called upon to adopt acts having legal effects or decisions suspending the application of the Agreement.
