Differential GPS gives a headline accuracy of around 10m, WAAS around 3m and good enough vertical accuracy to replace an ILS.

What about EGNOS? Well, it's still dependent on a non European infrastructure, and for various reasons the Europeans want their own GPS which will essentially duplicate the American version in every way except cost to the consumer.
