The choice of the European EADS for the very lucrative modernization of the fleet of aircraft of the United States Air Force causes indignant reactions in the United States. Boeing was "very disappointed" but does not s'avoue defeated.
A "great source of pride" for the CEO of EADS, Louis Gallois, but also "the hallmark of excellence in the quality of transatlantic relations," according to the Defence Minister, Herve Morin. Still, the fabulous contract for 179 tanker aircraft for the United States Air Force won by the European aircraft manufacturer is likely to be challenged by his rival across the Atlantic, Boeing.
This market in the amount of 35 billion dollars (23 billion euros) marks an undeniable triumph for the European EADS on the largest military market in the world, mainly characterized by its protectionism.
That is why the manufacturer has agreed to work with the American Northrop Grumman and relocate in Alabama assembly of the A-330 freighter modified for the occasion. This partnership should also create a total of 1300 local jobs, to the dismay of the CFDT EADS "regrets that this relocation of industrial skills outside Europe."
But if this industrial assembly took the decision of the American authorities, Boeing, which had submitted another project, said he was "very disappointed". And do not defeated s'avoue: "Once we have seen the details of the contract award, we will take a decision," said the direction of the manufacturer. It must be said that Boeing had won a contract for the tanker in 2003, finally cancelled contract for conflicts of interest.
Protectionism
American Legislators are also being watched by the market to defend their national enterprise. For example, Republican Senator Sam Brownback, "shocked by this decision," going to "call the Secretary of Defense for a detailed account." Todd Tiahrt, a member of the House of Representatives, believes that there should be "an American plane built by an American company with American employees." Finally, another election, the Republican Duncan Hunter, a member of the Armed Forces Committee of the House of Representatives, said that "the decision by the U.S. Air Force is going to cost more than 100000 jobs in the United States, taking advantage "European governments who refuse to support us in the war against terrorism." You said protectionism!
