New German coalition plans no A400M cuts-sources

BERLIN | Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:55am EDT

BERLIN Oct 15 (Reuters) - Germany's new centre-right coalition plans no cuts to a German order for the Airbus (EAD.PA) A400M military transporter plane, sources from two of the parties involved in talks said on Thursday.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives are in talks to form a centre-right coalition with the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP).

One member of the working group on defence policy said there were no plans to cut the order, but that if there are delays, this could be an option.
