ESA pulls back from 'fair shares' funding
Article Abstract:
The European space ministers have decided to pull back from their commitment to the principle of juste retour which provides funds to each member country through the European Space Agency (ESA) for their national aerospace industry. Each country is supposed to receive its fair share however due to increasing strain, the assigning of contract drives up costs. New rules and regulations were agreed upon during the ministerial meeting which include awarding of contracts on the basis of value for money and the contributions of each member will be adjusted accordingly.
