Company, not consortium

EADS is not a consortium, while Airbus used to be one. A consortium is just an alliance of companies, EADS is a single company. David.Monniaux 23:54, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Military Aircraft division

In my attempt at improving the layout of the subdivision section, I tentatively outlined the Mil. Aircraft div. as consisting of Eurocopter and Dassault. Is this correct or not, and if not could someone more knowledgeable fix it? --Wernher 23:24, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Great aircraft pictures!

Hey, thanks ≈1.0E06 to H1523702 for entering the two EADS airplane photos into the artice; IMO, they greatly improved it (made it much more visually appealing)! :-) --Wernher 23:54, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Locations

Anonymous edit before mine rearranged the locations (and broke the layout slightly by eliminating a <br>). Rearranged and added Spain to match the listing on EADS' site:

the road to the formation of EADS was paved with many partnerships and joint projects at Aerospatiale Matra, CASA and Dasa

Airbus percentage

This article says EADS holds 75% of Airbus, but Airbus says Airbus is jointly held by EADS (80%). --Abdull 18:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, even the main body text of this article says 80% too, which is correct. The 75% was my mistake when updating infobox. Nice catch. Mark83 18:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Here's a thought. This article is really short. Let's face it...Aérospatiale-Matra was only created to facilitate the creation of EADS. It lived a very short life. Perhaps we should merge this article with EADS and include it as a section? —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 15:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. It was a major company - short lived or not. European defence mergers can be extremely confusing, having a link and separate article for Aérospatiale-Matra allows the various companies and mergers to be explained clearly. I'm not sure about "was only created to facilitate the creation of EADS". BAe sought a partner for its missile division for a very long time, including Thomson-CSF.

EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions, Inc. link added to EADS website.

What relationship does this company and link have with European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V.?

EADS is our parent company. We are based in Texas and fall under EADS North America. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gam2121 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Criticisms should be documented

One should perhaps get some external links documenting the 'arms dealing' criticisms of EADS -- the criticisms shouldn't just stand there as is.
--Wernher 14:23, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

In addition, the section on cluster bombs is primarily an over-emphatic denounciation of the criticism. Gy re 01:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inadequate Citing

I have several pieces of coursework due at the moment so I dont have time to check, and/or cite all the statements here, but the article needs to be referenced properly. Aslapnatickle 13:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

EADS Deutschland?

I've seen the company referred to this on a number of sites. Is there any difference between it and EADS proper? Does it develop projects independenlty of EADS France or EADS Italia? 74.106.24.62 (talk) 07:22, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subsidiaries

Shouldn't ATR be listed as one?

Yes it should and it is. Xionbox^₪ 06:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BAE merger

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/business/article/uk-says-prepared-to-veto-eads-bae-merger Time is running out before a UK regulatory deadline of Oct. 10 for a blueprint of the deal,

That's the first I've heard about that. Does anybody have a more detailed ref on the Oct 10 matter? Hcobb (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Acquisitions and mergers of UK companies is regulated by the The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.

"The Code" which the Panel uses "has been developed since 1968 to reflect the collective opinion of those professionally involved in the field of takeovers as to appropriate business standards and as to how fairness to shareholders and an orderly framework for takeovers can be achieved ....The Code is based upon six General Principles, which are essentially statements of standards of commercial behaviour."[1]

The "deadline" of Oct 10 is due to rule 2.6 of the code:

"(a) Subject to Rule 2.6(b), by not later than 5.00 pm on the 28th day following the date of the announcement in which it is first identified, or by not later than any extended deadline, a potential offeror must either:

(i) announce a firm intention to make an offer in accordance with Rule 2.7; or

(ii) announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 applies, unless the Panel has consented to an extension of the deadline."[2]

Describe as "dutch" in opening sentence?

An editor is very keen to add the word "dutch" [sic] to the opening phrase "The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. (EADS) is a global pan-European aerospace and defence corporation" to turn it into "The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. (EADS) is a global pan-European dutch aerospace and defence corporation". To me this doesn't seem appropriate. The article already says where the company is headquartered, and the section EADS#Financial_information doesn't seem to support describing it particularly as a Dutch company. I'm not going to revert him again at this stage, but the views of other editors would be welcome. - David Biddulph (talk) 11:19, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

EADS is not a dutch company, I think the name says that already. I fully support what you wrote. --Julian H. (talk) 17:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
