From Flight Global 13/1/09 :

EADS has proposed Airbus A330 (http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a330a340/)s to A400M (http://www.airbusmilitary.com/) customers requiring interim lift in the wake of further delays to the military transport programme, chief executive Louis Gallois has revealed.
Gallois says that the "bridging solution" suggested by EADS involves a mix of A330s and "other airplanes", which he declines to specify. He notes that A330s, which could be deployed as logistical transports, are already due for delivery to the UK through its Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft programme

Don't really see what is wrong with EADS trying to offer help to their customers.
