Paris and London exclude build together an aircraft carrier
France and Britain agreed Friday to pool some of their defense programs, including the A400M aircraft, but have ruled out building an entire aircraft carrier.
The defense ministers of both countries met in Paris to discuss their weapons programs in times of fiscal austerity that strikes the two countries.
'It is logical to examine the issues where we can share the assets rather than acting separately, "said the British minister, Liam Fox."It's a purely pragmatic."
His French counterpart Herve Morin said a series of tracks were considered, including on the A400M transport aircraft, tanker aircraft and naval assets.
On the A400M EADS, he added that cooperation would cover the maintenance, operational maintenance and possible pooling of fleets.
But he stressed that the use of common carriers was not currently planned.
