If EADS took over Thales, they would have to find ways to hand off certain parts of the business as soon as possible. But getting that through Thales and the French state is especially difficult because in the end it's a dismantling of Thales.
Although Thales politely left the door open to a subsequent deal with EADS, which could bring Thales to its satellite business, we believe this is unlikely.
We are not concerned about competition. In fact, we are the competition. We're not worried about EADS and Northrop.
All three games we've had this year (against Eads) were tough. Without a doubt they're our biggest rivals.
A possible tie-up between EADS and Thales...would be a decision for the management of the respective companies, not one which would be steered by politicians.
