and which 13% do we have to make?
Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH (English: Eurofighter Fighter aircraft GmbH) is a multinational company that co-ordinates the design, production and upgrade of the Eurofighter Typhoon, this includes incorporating the jet engines designed and manufactured by EuroJet Turbo GmbH.
Founded in 1986,[citation needed] it has its head office in Hallbergmoos, Bavaria, Germany.[1] The company is owned by the major aerospace companies of the four Eurofighter partner nations:
46%: EADS
33% EADS Deutschland GmbH (Germany)
13% EADS CASA (Spain)
33%: BAE Systems (United Kingdom)
21%: Alenia Aermacchi (Italy)
Eurofighter GmbH’s customer is the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA), operating on behalf of the partner nations. This collaborative management model follows that of the Tornado programme closely. In that case Panavia Aircraft GmbH was responsible for delivering the weapon system, and the UK registered Turbo-Union Ltd. was responsible for the propulsion system.
Its about time these Latin Bods(Spain and Argentina) stopped trying to divert the fact that they are skint into a bit of Brit bashing in the fore-lawn hope that there populace don’t notice.

Ceuta and Melilla
The Mediterranean enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla are the last vestiges of Spanish rule in northern Morocco, which ended in 1956.
They have been European territories for more than 500 years, and Madrid insists it will not relinquish control of either.
Together they occupy 32 square kilometres, and are home to about 120,000 mainly Spanish residents.
I rest my case.

Desperation stakes – that’s all it is in both countries! Pathetic behaviour and Rajoy should be left in no doubt as to our position.
