France promises 20 billion compensation to
Belgium, if it buys its Rafale fighter plane
Contributing Editor, New Europe
France offers 20 billion euros in compensation if Belgium
buys the Rafale from the French manufacturer Dassault.
France has already promised a “strategic and economic
partnership” if the Belgian federal government chooses the Rafale and not the
competitors F-35 and Eurofighter to replace the F-16s. Paris, and Dassault
Aviation have since worked on a concrete proposal to seduce the Belgian
government.
Paris seemed to be out of play by not respecting the
procedure set up by the federal government to replace fighter jets. However it
appears that, as of now, that the French government and Dassault are not
adhering to the procedure, as they are seeking to offer more economic
compensation to Belgian industry than is feasible within the framework
originally established by the Belgian government.
Dassault promises an economic return of 100% of the
purchase price, which amounts to about 20 billion euros over 20 years and more
than 5,000 high-tech jobs.
