EADS Eurofighter unit signs production contract in Greece - by Alkman Granitsas

The fighter jet unit of aerospace giant European Aeronautic Defence & Space Monday signed a token EUR4 million production contract in Greece in a bid to win a multi-billion euro warplane contract from the Greek government. "We are working very hard to convince the Greek government to procure the Eurofighter Typhoon as the new fighter for the Hellenic air force," said Johann Heitzmann, chief executive of EADS Military Air Systems.

"We are ready to do more. In case of a procurement of the Eurofighter in Greece we will open the door to close industrial cooperation," Heitzmann added. "Greece is welcome to become an integrated partner in the Eurofighter program."
