BERLIN Oct 29 (Reuters) - The German government is unaware that European aerospace group EADS (EAD.PA) is considering shifting its entire headquarters to Paris, a German government spokesman said on Wednesday.

The company currently has joint headquarters in Paris and Munich.

"I am not aware of such considerations," government spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm told a regular government news conference when asked if he knew about any plans by EADS Chief Executive Louis Gallois to move the headquarters to Paris.

"I cannot imagine they (the plans) would be pursued."

The question appeared to be referring to a report earlier this week in French business daily Les Echos, according to which Gallois was considering a move to Toulouse. (Reporting by Dave Graham and Noah Barkin; Editing by Paul Bolding)
