Male drone program open to Europeans?

(B2) The long-endurance drone project (MALE) projected between the French and the British should involve other European partners, explained Gérard Longuet, the French Minister of Defense, during an interview with aeronautical journalists

"I think that this Franco-British project must accept the idea that (...) we are committed to European construction and we cannot deliberately ignore countries which are still making defense efforts and which have industrial capabilities" , he explains, as reported by Usine Nouvelle.

We know that the French and the British were opposed on the nature of the call for tenders to be issued: European for the French and global for the British.
