BERLIN, Dec 9 (Reuters) - European aerospace group EADS is seeking 5 billion euros extra from the countries which have ordered the delayed Airbus A400M military transporter, a spokesman for the German defence ministry said on Wednesday. The spokesman said the German government was now assessing the request made by EADS. Earlier, a senior official said EADS had not made any additional requests for the A400M.
And how will that be split? Equal ways (which seems unfair if you are only buying ten) or by the quantity ordered? If quantity ordered then the UK will have to pay an extra 700 million euros (@632 million in english money) or thereabouts. Great.
