On 19 June 2001, at the Paris Airshow, nine European countries committed themselves to purchasing 212 A400M military transport aircraft. The German government has yet to arrange financing for its share of the costs, so the production contract is likely to be signed with Airbus, the manufacturer, in September 2001.
