The PRS provides a higher level of protection against the threats to Galileo Signals in Space through the use of appropriate interference mitigation technologies.
	The need for the Public Regulated Service (PRS) results from the analysis of threats to the Galileo system and the identification of infrastructure applications where disruption to the Signal in Space (SiS) by economic terrorists, malcontents, subversives or hostile agencies could result in damaging reductions in national security, law enforcement, safety or economic activity within a significant geographic area.

	Galileo is a civil system that also includes a robust and access-controlled service for government-authorized applications. The Public Regulated Service (PRS) is intended for use by groups such as police, coast-guards and customs. Civil institutions will control the access to the encrypted PRS. Access by region or user group will follow the security policy rules applicable in Europe.

	Each Member State wishing to use PRS ~~will~~ set up a "~~Responsible~~ PRS Authority". This authority ~~will manage~~ and ~~control~~ end-users as well as the manufacture of PRS receivers. It ~~will~~ also ~~ensure~~ adherence to clearly-defined security standards. Coordination on a European level ~~will guarantee~~ consistency and conformity with the high level of security required. The legislative proposal ~~will~~ be forwarded to the European Parliament and the Council for approval as part of the ordinary legislative procedure. As approved, the PRS will be available at IOC, when Galileo is expected to become initially operational, together with two other initial Galileo services, the Open Service and the Search-And-Rescue Service.<ref name="PressReleasePRS"/> <ref name="Mid-term review"/>		Each Member State wishing to use PRS shall set up a "Competent PRS Authority (CPA)".
