Swiss May Oppose Eurofighter Over Row With Germany
Swiss Defense Minister Ueli Maurer said his country may not be keen to buy the Eurofighter due to disputes with Germany over bank secrecy, taxation of holding companies and air traffic.1
"I can't imagine how a purchase of the Eurofighter could be defended in the current situation," Maurer, a member of the Swiss People's Party, told business leaders at the German-Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Zurich yesterday. "There's an icy northerly wind" in relations between the two countries.
