BASF is the worlds biggest chemical company (bigger than DOW Chemical, for example).
BASF used to be a large producer of magnetic tapes and floppys. Due to stagnating demand, this business was sold of to investors under the name of EMTEC around 1997. A few years later, production was shut down.
Obviously most advanced tech countries can jam GPS signals. The EU can jam US GPS and and the US can jam Galileo. The point of dissent is the overlap of military frequencies. The EU wants to have their military frequency to partly overlap the US frequency so that the US cannot jam Galileo without degrading their own military signal quality (and vice versa). The US obviously would like to be able to jam Galileo without degrading their own military performance hence the request to move the Galileo military frequency.
Note that both India and China are participating financially at Galileo. China would certainly not pay a cent for a system under US control.
