of our partners.

and security <br>
domains and will see
significant improvements in costs as
well as schedule<br>
</em></span><span class="style26"><em>through global leveraging of

<p>It is a great pleasure to be
here and I wish to thank Dr. Roger Weissinger-Baylon for gathering such a
distinguished group of defense and security leaders not only from NATO and EU
member-states but from other countries that share the same values and work
together to foster peace and stability in several parts of our troubled world. </p>
<p> My colleagues and I
are proud to host the International Workshop on Global Security in Paris for the second time. After the success of the 2005 conference as well as the
workshop in Berlin in 2006, there is no doubt in my mind that these meetings
will continue to be enlightened events and are bound to �contribute to
strengthening international cooperation.</p>
<p align="center" class="style26">THE NATURE OF SECURITY TODAY</p>
<p>��������� Security cooperation
is an old concept that deserves to be revisited with a fresh view. Today,
security encompasses more than the traditional military, law enforcement, and
policing dimensions; it covers economic aspects including energy, the
environment, health, and humanitarian assistance in case of disasters. It is
also no longer limited to being addressed by alliances formed to counter an
identified, common adversary�the new alliances are more like loose partnerships
underpinned by common interests shared by states with various stakes. When
oriented towards crisis management that requires the use of military force, the
new alliances are described as �coalitions of the willing.� Forty-two nations
are currently working together to stabilize and reconstruct Afghanistan, with representatives of some 30 participating in this workshop.</p>
<p>��������� But cooperation is
not limited to the military and law enforcement agencies of the different
states that participate in a coalition. It also involves international
organizations, NGOs, donors, and enterprises working to reestablish normal
living conditions.</p>
<p align="center" class="style26">FOSTERING COOPERATION</p>
<p>As the scope of
security threats as well as new missions continues to enlarge, it is more and
more important to develop a dialogue between policy makers, security experts,
and the military in order to understand clearly the answers that industry can
provide to the various challenges we face.</p>
<p>��������� EADS is a large
group with a full array of technologies for large systems, space assets, commercial
aircraft that can be converted into mission aircraft, combat and military
transport aircraft, helicopters, missiles, and transporting information. It is
a young company born of European� parents� with more than 40 years of
experience with European programs, and is now looking forward to expanding
cooperation with friendly states. As I discuss cooperation, however, I am not
going to address the current EADS/Airbus restructuring, because it is not a
topic of this workshop. However, it is a challenge like those that all
companies working in the very competitive aeronautic and space businesses will have
to face one day, so I am certainly open to questions about it.</p>
<p>��������� There are two
approaches to fostering cooperation. The first is �top down,� and is based on
common requirements of military or government agencies. The second is �bottom
up,� and comes from the industrial sector. When establishing operational
requirements for new equipment, both approaches deserve to be considered, as do
three main trends:</p>
<p>1. The development of
dual-use technologies, which is mainly driven by commercial investments and the
industry.</p>
<p>2. The growing
interpenetration of the security and defense domains.</p>
<p>3. The need for seamless
interoperability, particularly between engaged military forces.</p>
<p align="center" class="style26">ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT FRAMEWORK</p>
<p>Ideally, defense
industries from friendly states should be able to work together innovating,
sharing technologies, and using common components. However, governments do need
to protect national interests and avoid unwanted proliferation of military and
security technology, but how can they do this without impeding needed
cooperation? Is the current situation satisfactory?</p>
<p>��������� Globally, the
answer is no, but we need to look separately at the situation inside the EU and
at the Atlantic Alliance framework. In Europe, a good deal of progress has been
made with the consolidation of a large part of the European defense industry,
including EADS, Astrium, MBDA, and Thales Alenia Space, even if much remains to
be done within the land and naval sectors. But streamlining exchanges among the
six signatories of the Letter of Intent, the so-called LOI of 1998, has not yet
delivered on all of its promises. We hope that the recently established
European Defense Agency will rapidly become efficient, particularly in the field
of R&D and with new programs, with the full support of European governments</p>
<p>��������� As a fully European
group, EADS has not only increased its footprint in the U.K. but has also extended its roots beyond the borders of its founding nations, France, Germany, and Spain. It now has a strong partnership with Patria in Finland, OKEJCE in Poland, and OGEMA in Portugal, and Eurocopter has refreshed its links with Romania. We are also developing cooperation with Russia and with other friends outside Europe. </p>
<p>��������� All of us are
working within the framework of international cooperation, but, in my view, all
friendly states should keep some defense industry of their own, because it is a
fundamental component of the national spirit of defense and security. However,
the U.S. was harshly criticized recently by the Coalition for Security and
Competitiveness, which consists of eight U.S. industry associations, for its
policy of protecting its defense industry and maintaining its advantage in
national security technology. This coalition is asking for fundamental reform
of U.S. export policy �in order to facilitate joint actions in the fight
against terrorism and to account for the fact� that defense procurements are
increasingly dependent on an industrial base� that cuts across national
borders.�</p>
<p>��������� However,
encouraging steps are being taken toward developing a better balance in
transatlantic cooperation, such as the U.S. Army�s recent choice of the EADS
Lakota Light Utility Helicopter and EADS� cooperation with General Electric and
Northrop-Grumman to jointly propose using a U.S. Airbus A330-200 derivative as
an air tanker for the U.S. Air Force. We are also working closely with our
European and U.S. partners to develop the NATO Theater Layered Missile Defense,
and are ready to take the second step should NATO members decide the Alliance has to protect Europe�s territory and populations against the proliferation of
ballistic missiles possibly tipped with weapons of mass destruction.</p>
<p align="center" class="style26">CONCLUDING REMARKS</p>
<p>��������� I am convinced that
in this globalized world a large part of our security is embedded in the security
of our partners. This situation requires strong cooperation among the
industries involved in the defense and security domains and will see
significant gains in costs as well as schedule through global leveraging of
shared information, R&D, and investment. However, the smart management of
secrecy still matters in maintaining combat superiority. We need to adjust our
regulations quickly and find balance between conflicting strategic objectives.</p>
