Good morning Ministers, members of Parliament, officers, ladies and Gentlemen,

My name is Patrice Hummel

Inside EADS corporate strategy directorate, I am in charge of strategic business development for defence and civil systems.

It is a great honour, but also a big difficulty to deal with such a topic in few minutes, when so much is at stake for all of us

After a few words on the environment, I shall focus on areas for optimisation from Industry point of view.
