The loans to EADS will have to be repaid and the citizens of Europe may well consider that the loan is worth it. The company provides work for many and holds technical knowledge in the continent, rather than people going to work for the Americans . Manufacturing of major capital items is vital to any nation, as the USA plainly recognises when it tries to ensure that major military contracts are placed with US companies.

Please remember,firstly, that every nation on the planet has always been 100% biased in it's own favour!!! And, secondly, that whilst many large countries clamour for 'open markets' the end results are not always balanced.
