摘要

Italy and Germany have separately written strongly worded letters to senior Pentagon staff vigorously defending the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) and warning of the dire consequences of the United States cutting more funding from the programme.The MEADS International industry consortium behind the project announced in mid-June that all three member states had formally signed up to a revised funding programme, but the US has yet to confirm its budget plans for Fiscal Year 2012. As part of its internal budget negotiations, Congress recommended a USD 149.5 million cut to MEADS funding while the Senate suggested that the entire MEADS budget request be zeroed.However, in a letter dated 19 July that was seen by Jane's, Italian undersecretary for defence, Guido Crosetto, told his US opposite number, William Lynn, that, "should the US not meet its financial obligation, either partly or in whole this must be considered a unilateral withdrawal as defined in the MoU [memorandum of understanding] agreement. The US shall then be required to bear all the resulting contract modifications and cancellation costs up to the total financial contribution established in the MoU, as Italy would do in a similar situation".
