REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch/File PhotoMARIGNANE, France, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The head of Airbus Helicopters (AIR.PA) has urged Europe to back its domestic defence industry when launching major new military programmes, as a row simmers over U.S. arms imports. Airbus Helicopters is marking 30 years since it was born through a Franco-German merger prompted by the development of the original Tiger version, sponsored initially by France and Germany and later Spain. While it competes with Boeing and Leonardo (LDOF.MI) on attack helicopters, Airbus agreed earlier this year to maintain H-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters sold by Boeing to Germany. But he laid down a marker that Airbus would fight for future replacements of core programmes like the NH-90. Airbus has teamed up with Leonardo to research technology to be fed into the NGRC programme, backed by the European Union's European Defence Fund.

Dacă CSJ va anula mandatul ilegal de arestare emis pe numele meu, chiar astăzi voi depune depoziții la Procuratură și voi povesti adevărul despre furtul miliardului. Amintim că, miercuri, Curtea de Apel Cahul, a menținut în vigoare mandatul de arestare emis pe numele său. Liderul Partidului „Șor” a declarat anterior că, din motive politice, îi sunt blocate aparițiile în spațiul public și posibilitatea de a se întâlni cu alegătorii, în calitate de candidat la alegerile parlamentare anticipate din 11 iulie. El a amintit că o astfel de situație a fost și în anul 2015. Atunci instanța de judecată a anulat, însă, mandatul de arestare la domiciliu, ca el să poată participa în campania electorală pentru alegerea primarului municipiului Orhei.
