中国已经签署协议购买150架“空中客车”A320客机

    法国总理已经重申他的愿望看到欧盟撤销对中国的武器禁运，一个“时代错误”的烙印。

    在最近的数年以来被法国政府增强地位，更多的法国会“继续去工作用于撤销它”。

    他发表上述看法是当中国总理温家堡（Wen Jiabao）USD97亿欧元合同去购买150架“空中客车”A320客机用于国际客运的时候。

    法国已经是欧盟武器禁令最猛烈的批评家之一，在 1989年中国某个事件后开始实行。然来来自法国采购代理处内的一位资深官员告诉简氏周刊，法国“没有打算”对中国增加防卫出口，但是更多它看见了禁令如同在欧盟和北京之间“关系上悬挂的黑色乌云”。

    原文：French leader brands Chinese arms embargo "an anachronism"

    James Murphy

    The French prime minister has reiterated his desire to see the EU arms embargo on China lifted, branding it "an anachronism".

    Reinforcing the position taken by the French government over recent years, Dominique de Villepin added that France would "continue to work for it to be lifted".

    His words came as Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao signed a USD9.7 billion agreement to purchase 150 Airbus A320 airliners for national carriers across the country.

    France has been one of the most fierce critics of the EU arms embargo, which was imposed after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Yet a senior official from within the French Délégation Générale pour l'Armement procurement agency told Jane's Defence Industry that France had "no intention" of increasing defence exports to China, but more that it saw the embargo as a "black cloud hanging over relations" between the EU and Beijing.
