EADS-CASA tries to meet plane sales agreement with Venezuela

Spanish aeronautics firm EADS-CASA is looking for "mechanisms and procedures" to meet an agreement to sell 12 transportation planes to Venezuela, following a US veto on the transaction, Friday said the first vice-president of the Spanish government, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega.

"The company is looking for mechanisms and procedures to meet the agreements. This usually happens in all private economic relations under contracts," she added, as quoted by AFP.
  
"If you are facing problems in connection with one clause because you are lacking some technology, then you have to find the way to replace the technology you lack with another, and then fully meet the agreements," Fernández states.

Bases of discord

04:17 PM. Western Hemisphere. "Damned empire; I curse you one thousand times; some day you will be finished off and wrecked. I curse you one thousand times, empire." This is the least that President Hugo Chávez has uttered to refer to the US government. In urging the Bolivarian Armed Forces to prepare for war, he said that a US raid on Venezuela through Colombia would trigger and spread over the region "the 100-year war."
