the rise of this debate in the United StatesA rule which is not about to be dethronedThe microbiological analysis of urine is 6It is true that the flights are usually longerSince the annual low point on 14 June at 5But most existed already before the crisisIf 80 of the turnover of the company EUR 1There is interest to analyze without delayThis is the reality the ongoing dialogue withFree commute in mercantilism or economic warHe had that Boeing buys 5 of the EADS shares. G. w. Bush Vienna explain us that the United States wanted to take the control. What screams of horror we heard! Interference! Imperialism! In comparison, the reactions at the entrance of the Russian State in the capital of the mother House of Airbus, Eurocopter, Dassault and MBDA missiles are sound discretion. The Russian alliance have unsuspected qualities We will see that it is not.
Would this alliance be good for the Russians Non. Our Russian friends are together and renationalize Ilyushin, Mig, Sukhoi and Tupolev, in a holding company named OAK, the State property. Of aeronautical companies deemed, but global standards, and military vocation yet widely. There are few other areas where the Russia can hope to become competitive: the upgrading of its aviation is therefore fundamental for its economy. The Russia has more than 200 billion of petrodollars. Why does invest directly in OAK, instead of EADS Thus, it would create jobs and wealth for the long term, for the benefit of the Russians, former owners of these companies. Should it not also invest in the health care system, while the life expectancy of Russian men has just under 58 years
On the contrary, the Russian State uses the profits of a gas paid high price by Europeans to invite to the capital of European aeronautics. This move looks like history of gold of the brownies gold of Harry Potter, which lasts only a few hours and it quickly convert against the real money. Because the Russian gas industry needs investments, without which the gas revenues could fall a few years. By buying shares of EADS, is the Russia converting the gold of the brownies
Would this "alliance" be good for Europe No more, because it provides the European technologies, strategy or finance useful. Technologically, the levels of quality and safety of the Russian civilian aircraft are behind those of the West. Strategically, the Russian market is significantly smaller and less growing, as for example the Chinese market. Cooperation exist between OAK and EADS, but they are minor and too recent. They cannot justify an ambitious operation with OAK, which has not yet produced saleable aircraft on the civilian market global engines or commercial avionics. On the military side, an alliance in the aircraft of weapons could make sense, but should be a political proximity with the Russia that we have not reached, in sixty years, between the France and the Germany! Finally, financially, Europe has the means to fund its industry without recourse to the Petro-ruble.
This alliance would, finally, a strategic direction which lost Step further. Rapprochement with our cousin the Russia is, of course, a necessary objective for the European Union, but which might take decades. No alliance can exist today without intimate sharing of common values. We are still far away: the Russia always uses power as normal relationship including in this case, where it attacks roots of Europe: what remains of the Franco-German pin, the symbol of the European industry, rules for separation of basic State and economy. This, then the European Commission the European taxpayers have already invested enormous amounts of money to "civilize" the Russian military industry after 1990, obviously without success.
No aviation alliance does without decades of cooperation, without shares prior major programs without inter-State relations so stable that they amounted to a Confederation. No alliance could arise in a re-nationalization of EADS, is by a non-Member State of the Union!
Will the State, so quick to cover Suez to a company based in a country as friend as the Italy, so careful to protect the best interests of the France at Danone, let our most sensitive private industries under the control of a non-Member State of the Union Our yoghurt will be better protected than our aircraft Of course not: such inversion of priorities is not possible in this round of the game, with the EADS shareholders Pact between French and German.
That said, the coup was, alas, good view. The Russians, whose national sport is chess, will play the next at the worst possible moment, to decouple the Franco-German solidarity, away from the United States, and decisive, oil or aviation advantage. While the gas is much cheaper energy, it has been well slow to clean house EADS, it will be well soon to cover its capital and that in 2006, we were good to still believe in Europe can be found.
