Venezuela confirms EADS CASA still trying to circumvent US law
EADS CASA is still searching for non-US parts to replace American components in the 12 military aircraft it is selling the Chavez regime, according to the Venezuelan Embassy in Madrid.
The part-switching is intended to circumvent US nonproliferation law.
Spain's EFE news service reports that "There is no decision by the Venezuelan government about cancelation of those [EADS CASA] contracts, and the purchasing decision remains, but they are searching for the components that will substitute the ones initially in those airplanes," a Venezuelan Embassy official said.
