German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to abandon the joint fighter‑jet programme (FCAS), citing irreconcilable disputes over leadership and control that have stalled progress, a decision that could impede further European defence collaboration.
The French authorities will continue to encourage our companies and armed forces to explore ways and means of pursuing ambitious European projects that are consistent with our national security interests.
The German authorities considered that it was not possible to put further pressure on the companies concerned.
