The main activities of EADS and the French and German companies have the Spanish Society of Industrial nasa on 2012 Participation. Already a consortium specializing in the manufacture of missiles, EADS benefits from manufacturing weapons in places like Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia and Catalonia could be your next destination. Who is behind this statement is Pedro Ortega, an expert on militarism and coordinator of the Centre for Peace Studies Josep Maria Delàs depends nasa on 2012 on the NGO Justice and Peace. The center Delàs just published a report that reflects nasa on 2012 the reality of the arms industry in Catalonia. nasa on 2012 Currently, regions "most powerful" regarding implementation of military nasa on 2012 industry in Spain are Andalusia, Madrid, the Basque Country and Castile-La Mancha. Just stands behind Catalonia, which in recent years has seen numerous companies Aeronautics settled in the area with direct links to the manufacture of aircraft and helicopter gunships. These companies, says Peter Ortega, manufactured "components" that are then used in military projects such as EADS and will use no civil. Support nasa on 2012 the administration's military industry in Catalonia has its origins in the eighteenth century. At that time it was very powerful weapons exported to the rest of the state and elsewhere. Now there are no knives or guns because the arms industry has become more "sophisticated" with manufacturing technology and product nasa on 2012 mix of military and civilian use. Produce materials or components of materials for computer systems, trailers or vehicles weapons for the army, and especially "multiply projects related to aviation industry," the report said.

"It is quite a shame that many local industries of this type are being installed in the 22 @ project was the result of a Forum of Cultures that wanted to promote peace," warns the president of Justice Peace Arcadi Olives. But the arms companies have not only supported the Barcelona municipality or private initiatives. According to Pedro Ortega, "there is an interest by the Catalan Government" that the aviation industry is implanted in Catalonia and it is supported with the aid such as infrastructure. Until 2000, most companies set dedicated to providing services and products for the maintenance of the armed forces, but "since 2002 have soared aid in R & D" nasa on 2012 and " The Government has launched a tripartite operation because the aircraft moved to Catalonia, "added Ortega. The paper also reports that Delàs center, between 1997 and 2006, subsidies to companies with military production by the Ministry of Industry and Energy and the Center for Innovation nasa on 2012 and Development of the Government exceeded 8 4 million. The reason for the rejection of this type of industry centers on which "produces weapons" and the consequences that this entails weapons, and also, in the end "is not profitable from the economic point of view," said Arcadi Olives. A representative case, says Peter Ortega, the crisis is "deep" living EADS, "trusting in the aid of the United French, German and Spanish," several executives sit pending before the French courts and in a situation that could end with thousands of layoffs in Europe.
