France on Tuesday announced the support of the new Airbus liner and is ready to bear the burden of financing the project along with Germany. This statement was made against the backdrop of protracted tension in the merger of enterprises of the European aerospace industry. Germany is unhappy with its share of $ 15 billion. In the project of the A350 aircraft and POA did not provide half of about 1.2 billion euros ($ 1.6 billion) of a loan for development.
French Prime Minister Jean-Mark Iro, interfering in the situation, replied that it was important that all partners fulfill their obligations to finance the A350 project, because this new generation liner is the only one who can join the fierce rivalry of European aircraft builders with new Boeing new products. Speaking at the opening of the A350 production plant in the south-west of France, Iro did not openly criticize the closest allies of France by name. But there was no doubt that he had in mind a gap with Germany, which deepened the merger between Airbus and the British Eads Bae Systems.
Speaking of more than 1000 Airbus employees, Iro said: “European countries should be partners… Such close cooperation has always played an important role in the development of large projects in the aerospace industry, “he said. “This, of course, is true in the case of the A350, and it is very important that the obligations of all parties will be fulfilled in full. As for France, we will certainly observe our own obligations.”
Today, Airbus has plans for $ 45 billion. The merger with the formation of the largest aerospace corporation and the defense group in the world has not yet occurred and most of the participants are accused of German Chancellor Angela Merkel for disrupting the transaction, which Berlin denies. Surrounded by the head of EADS and Airbus during the emotional ceremony in honor of one of the founders of Planemaker, Iro provided strong support to the executive director of EADS to this enders. “I supported Eads,” he said to reporters. “It is very important to give a message about trust in the entire EADS group and I think this should have been expected”. Enders, a German by birth, faced a negative reaction in Berlin for his decision to take as a basis an aerospace group in Toulouse.
