Gazprom nurtures links with Germany and France

Russia's second-biggest state bank has quietly amassed 5pc of the European aerospace and defence giant EADS, fuelling speculation that President Vladimir Putin is aiming to muscle into the Franco-German venture as a full strategic partner.

Vneshtorgbank (VTB) has bought an estimated $1.2bn (?634m) of EADS stock over the past two months, taking advantage of a share crash caused by delays in the Airbus A380 superjumbo to buy cheaply.

The stock rose 2.03pc to €23.10 (?15.61) on the Paris bourse after the covert acquisitions were leaked to the Moscow newspaper Vedomosti, but is still down 35pc since April.

Vedomosti said VTB - the former Soviet trade bank - planned to continue building its stake, now nearing 4.8pc. Officials refused to comment on the report.

Russian analysts said the bank was undoubtedly buying the stock on behalf of Russian United Aircraft, a state-venture launched by President Putin in February to revive Russia's rusting aircraft industry.

In its heyday, the Soviet Union produced a quarter of the world's aircraft, including passenger jets for most of the Communist world as well as highly-prized MiG fighters. It has since been shut out of commercial aviation as Airbus and Boeing carve up the market between them.

EADS already holds an interest in the Russian umbrella group through a 10pc holding in Irkut, maker of Sukhoi jets. The VTB purchases of EADS stock point to the creation of a complex Franco-German-Russian cross-holding.

Brigadier Geoffrey Van Orden, a Tory MEP and vice-chair of the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee, said the Kremlin stake raised a host of concerns.

"There are all sorts of security implications since EADS has some very sensitive defence contracts, not least in the UK where EADS Astrium builds satellites and military communications," he said.

"We are talking about a Russian state bank, which would mean even more government control over EADS on top of all the problems of French state interference. It would further upset relations with the US which is already reluctant to share military technology," he said.

Until now, the push for closer defence and aeronautic ties with Moscow has mostly come from France and Germany, which formed a "triple alliance" with President Putin in 2003 to oppose the Iraq war.

French president Jacques Chirac has long hoped to draw Moscow deeper into the EU's fledgling defence arm, viewing Russia's military might and strategic depth as a crucial if Europe is ever to match the US as a global superpower.

Indirectly, Russia is supplanting Britain in the EADS/Airbus project, since BAE Systems is selling its 20pc stake in Airbus.

Бред.

Идиотизм чистой воды. Сначала выставить что-то на глобальном рынке, а потом удивляться, что, оказывается, глобальный покупатель всякий бывает. Интересно, что бы они пели, если акции прикупил бы Иран, или, скажем, КНДР.

Re: Иран, кстати,...

Привет!

>кажется, даже Даймлер-Крайслера - еще со времен шаха

Не с даймлером его обламали, сыграл в патриотизм ДойчеБанк. Там еще была история с налогами с этой сделки, за что минфин полетел лет через 5-10.
