And by the way, France is part of Europe, why single out France ?


I didn't write it, but I think I can answer anyway:

The Airbus is assembled in Toulouse, France. So it makes absolutely
sense to say that the parts are produced throughout France, and (even)
Europe.

Most of the plane is actually produced outside France. A French company only
contributed a part of the company. And yes - an Airbus is to a large extent
a Mercedes as Daimler Aerospace contributed about quite a bit to Airbus.
