At the Airbus Helicopters factory of Ghimbav on Tuesday, France's President Francois Hollande said the factory is a project of European dimensions able to consolidate Europe's defence industry.
"This is a project of European dimensions because it is also able to consolidate defence industry in Europe. This is what we want to do and what I want to recommend at the Bratislava summit in some days' time. We must cooperate (...) in order to be able to secure the conditions for Europe's defence policy," Hollande told a joint news conference with Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos.
