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.

REUTERS/Fabrizio BenschFRANKFURT, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The German economy is contracting already and will likely get worse over the winter months as gas consumption is cut or rationed, the country's central bank said on Monday. The Bundesbank said the economy was likely to shrink even if outright rationing is avoided as companies cut or halt production. "Economic activity may pull back somewhat this quarter and shrink markedly in the autumn and winter months," the central bank said. It cautioned, however, that it did not expect the adverse scenario it published in June, which saw the economy contracting by 3.2% in 2023, to materialise.
