US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA842

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Per reftel, Econoffs delivered talking points to Jan Breja, 
Director of the Air Transport Department in the Ministry of 
Transportation.  Breja seemed largely unaware of the brewing 
controversy and indicated that Slovakia was not a large 
stakeholder in the large commercial aircraft (LCA) industry.  He 
promised to follow up with his colleagues in the Ministries of 
Finance and Foreign Affairs and investigate if the GOS maintains 
a position on the Airbus subsidies.  In general, however, Breja 
concluded that it was likely that Slovakia would support the 
mainstream EU position produced by the larger stakeholders in 
Airbus.
