"GENEVA, Switzerland, Apr 22, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) --
The weakening dollar has forced major European manufacturers to consider moving production to dollar-based economies, an industry coalition said. On Monday, the AeroSpace and Defense Industry Association warned of "massive relocation of aerospace production capabilities to U.S. dollar priced locations, where labor costs are approximately 30 to 40 percent lower than in the euro zone," The New York Times reported. As a sign of the shifting currency values, European Aeronautic, Defense and Space company Airbus is raising prices of the super jumbo A380 plane by $4 million, the Times reported. EADS also announced Tuesday it would purchase a California security systems company, PlantCMI for $350 million, in part to strengthen its presence in a dollar-based economy"
Nah, the strong Euro is having no effect at all!
