After reading the above LA Times quote, I'm a little wary of Mr. Pae's facts. Shouldn't that be "French" rather than "Dutch"? German, British, French, and Spanish, plus some generally traded shares. No Dutch, unless they own some of the common shares. A pathetic mistake by a journalist. The Airbus majority shareholder company EADS NV has a Dutch addess viz European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V. Le Carré · Beechavenue 130-132 · 1119 PR Schiphol Rijk · The Netherlands. Airbus itself is 80% owned by EADS and 20% by BAE Systems. it took 2 minutes to find that out.
