We are proud to see Bangkok Airways joining the growing list of launch customers for the A350. This really demonstrates the popularity of our new wide-body in the market place.

Last year was a record year for the whole industry and for Airbus in particular.

Last year was an excellent year for the industry. There is still a big need for airlines to renew their fleets.

It does not lead anywhere. We are not afraid of litigation, only the effects of litigation.

We're very satisfied with the test results and are on target.

Today's agreement is no doubt the best way to celebrate our 20-year-long close co-operation with China.

We would like a negotiated solution rather than a litigated solution.

The order and sale of A321, A330/A340 and A350 aircrafts now goes beyond that of A300/A310 planes.

We will personally visit him in hospital this evening.

We cannot live in a situation in which the 787 gets lots and lots of aid, and the 350 gets none, or much less.

We are very pleased to enter into discussions about possible next steps of co-operation with our Chinese industrial partners who, over the years, have developed real industrial competence on which we can now draw.

This is not a major crisis... but we can do better in this area.

This coming January, we will deliver the first A330 aircraft to China Eastern Airlines, which will help to further increase its operational flexibility, especially on international and regional long-haul routes.

The year 2005 was a record year for the industry as a whole and for Airbus in particular.

The higher the oil price, the greater the demand for more fuel-efficient aircraft. We should encourage airlines to buy new aircraft to replace those which are 15 or 20 years old.

The introduction of the first A330-300 into China marks a new achievement in our 20 years of close cooperation with China Eastern Airlines.
