German, French, Spanish ministers to meet on FCAS on December 11, says source

BERLIN, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Defence ministers from Germany, France and Spain are set to meet on December 11 to discuss FCAS, Europe's next-generation fighter jet project, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

The 100 billion-euro ($117 billion) Future Combat Air System (FCAS), floated more than eight years ago, has been mired in disputes between the companies involved over workshare and prized technology.

Bloomberg earlier on Wednesday reported on the planned meeting.
