History

The 1997 merger of American corporations Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, which followed the forming of Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defence contractor in 1995, increased the pressure on European defence companies to consolidate. The Boeing Company is a major Aerospace and defense corporation originally founded by William E McDonnell Douglas was a major American Aerospace manufacturer and Defense contractor, producing a number of famous commercial and military aircraft Lockheed Martin ( is a large multinational Aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology Company formed in 1995 by the merger of In June 1997 British Aerospace Defence Managing Director John Weston commented "Europe. John Weston is a British businessman John was educated at Kings School Worcester and Trinity Hall Cambridge where he read engineering . . is supporting three times the number of contractors on less than half the budget of the U.

As early as 1995 the German aerospace and defence company DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA) and its British counterpart British Aerospace were said to be keen to create a transnational aerospace and defence company. DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG or DASA, was the former aerospace subsidiary of Daimler-Benz AG (later DaimlerChrysler) from 1989 British Aerospace (BAe was a UK aircraft and defence-systems manufacturer that is now part of BAE Systems. [3] The two companies envisaged including Aérospatiale, the other major European aerospace company, but only after its privatisation. [4] The first stage of this integration was seen as the transformation of Airbus from a consortium of British Aerospace, DASA, Aérospatiale and Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA into an integrated company; in this aim BAe and DASA were united against the various objections of Aérospatiale. Airbus SAS (ˈɛərbʌs in English, Airbus2ogg|/ɛʁbys/]] in French, and /ˈɛːɐbʊs/ in German) is an aircraft manufacturing [5] As well as Airbus, British Aerospace and DASA were partners in the Panavia Tornado and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft projects. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout Merger discussions began between British Aerospace and DASA in July 1998, just as French participation became more likely with the announcement that Aérospatiale was to merge with Matra and emerge with a diluted French government shareholding. Mécanique Avion TRAction or Matra was a French company covering a wide range of activities mainly related to automobile Bicycles Aeronautics [6] A merger was agreed between British Aerospace Chairman Richard Evans and DASA CEO Jürgen Schrempp in December 1998.

Despite repeated suggestions as early as 2000 that BAE Systems wished to sell its 20% share of Airbus, the possibility was consistently denied by the company. [17] However on 6 April 2006 BBC News reported that it was indeed to sell its stake, then "conservatively valued" at £2. Events 46 BC - Julius Caesar defeats Caecilius Metellus Scipio and Marcus Porcius Cato in the Battle of Thapsus Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. 4 billion.

Recent activities

On 29 February 2008, the U.S. Air Force awarded a $35 billion contract for aerial refueling tankers to Northrop Grumman, with EADS as a major subcontract. Leap years Although the modern calendar counts a year as 365 days a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours The contract, one of the largest created by the Department of Defense, is initially valued at $35 billion but has the potential to grow to $100 billion. The United States Department of Defense ( DOD or DoD) is the federal department charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the government It is also a sign of the growing influence of foreign suppliers within the Pentagon and breaks a relationship that has lasted decades with Boeing, which had built the bulk of the existing tanker fleet and had fought hard to land the new contract.

Under the contract, Northrop Grumman and EADS would build a fleet of 179 planes, based on the existing Airbus 330, to provide in-air refueling to military aircraft, from fighter jets to cargo planes.

The Ministry of Defence ( MoD) is the United Kingdom government department responsible for implementation of government defence policy and is the headquarters The UK Defence Procurement Minister Lord Drayson has hinted that the UK government, a major customer for EADS, may withhold future contracts.

Criticisms

Cluster bombs

As a result of criticisms, the Norwegian Government Pension Fund excluded EADS and its sister company EADS Finance BV from its portfolio in 2005, arguing that EADS manufactures "key components for cluster bombs. Norway ( Norwegian: Norge ( Bokmål) or Noreg ( Nynorsk) officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Constitutional The Government Pension Fund of Norway comprises two entirely separate Sovereign wealth funds owned by the Government of Norway: The Government Pension Fund Cluster munitions or cluster bombs are air-dropped or ground-launched munitions that eject a number of smaller submunitions a cluster of bomblets " EADS and its subsidiaries fulfill all the conditions of the Ottawa Treaty. The Ottawa Treaty or the Mine Ban Treaty, formally the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use Stockpiling Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their No product of EADS or its subsidiaries falls into the category of antipersonnel mines as defined by the Ottawa Treaty ("landmines under the Ottawa Treaty"), also all activities undertaken by EADS are in accordance with the national and international rules and regulations that apply to the company. EADS owned the company TDA in a joint venture with the company Thales S. A. and TDA produced the mortar ammunition PR Cargo, which can be considered cluster ammunition, however this has since been divested. In April 2006 the fund declared that the basis for excluding EADS from investments related to production of cluster munitions is no longer valid, however its shareholding of MBDA means the fund still excludes EADS due to its indirect involvement in nuclear weapons production. [31]

Bribery

In 2003 Tony Yengeni, former chief whip of South Africa's ANC, was convicted of fraud relating to an arms deal with South Africa, in which EADS were major players[32], worth around $5bn. Tony Sithembiso Yengeni (born 11 October 1954) is a South African Politician and convicted felon The BBC reported that EADS had admitted that it had "rendered assistance" to some 30 senior officials to obtain luxury vehicles, including defence force chief General Siphiwe Nyanda. [33]

Insider trading investigation

On June 2, 2006 co-CEO Noël Forgeard and Airbus CEO Gustav Humbert resigned following the controversy caused by the June 2006 announcement that deliveries of the A380 would be delayed by a further six months. Events 455 - The Vandals enter Rome, and plunder the city for two weeks Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Dr Gustav Humbert (born in February 1950 in Celle, Germany) is the former Chief Executive Officer and President of Airbus SAS, and Forgeard was one of a number of executives who exercised stock options in November 2005 and March 2006. He and 21 other executives are under investigation as to whether they knew about the delays in the Airbus A380 project which caused a 26% fall in EADS shares when publicised. [34]

The French government's actions are also under investigation; The stated-owned bank Caisse des Dépots et Consignations (CDC) bought part of Lagardère's 7. 5% stake in EADS in April 2006, allowing that latter to partially escape the June 2006 losses. [34]
