Berlin - Disagreements over intellectual property rights mean Germany, France and Spain have yet to agree the next steps for a joint fighter jet project, the defence ministry in Berlin said on Saturday after a deadline to find a solution ran out. Last week, the defence ministers of Germany and France set an end-April deadline to broker a deal over the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), Europe s largest defence project: No agreement over the use of the intellectual property rights has been found yet, - a ministry spokeswoman said. - For Germany, unrestricted access to the results of the jointly financed research is of utmost importance.
