17/07/2008 (Agence Europe) - On Wednesday 16 July, the European Commission authorised aid worth €14 million proposed by France for the research and development project PAMELAT ("pointe avant mixte Latécoère). The project involves research and development of composite materials for aircraft nose sections. The Commission concluded that this aid is justified by a market failure related to the project's high level of risk and uncertainty. (A.D./transl.rh)
