Mistral offered to give migrants

France still can't understand what to do with 2 built for Russia's helicopter carrier. In this regard, the Deputy of the national Assembly Thierry Mariani has proposed to implement the "Mistral" for the European Union to the warships were used to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean sea.

Denying ourselves scrupulously fulfill their own part of the agreement, which was concluded between Russia and France, Paris was faced with great reputation and economic loss. Another problem is the power cannot decide what next to do with 2 built by helicopter.

In order to solve the second problem and at least partially flatten a powerful blow to the reputation powers as gopastami military technology and equipment, the Mistrals could be transferred to the salvation of the inhabitants of our planet. A similar idea was expressed by the Deputy of the National Assembly of France Thierry Mariani, who offered to sell military ships to the EU, if the deal with Russia will irrevocably broken.

"It'd help a large number of lives, and questions about the asylum could be considered on Board. And if the next day in one of the Mediterranean States will be a crisis, we could send these ships in order to save European citizens", - quoted by Le Figaro, a French parliamentarian.

Technical data allow to reconstruct the helicopter under the floating hospital. If this means supporting the European structures should be interested, said Thierry Mariani. "What is a 1 billion euros for the EU, which complains that he has no forces and ships?" - he noted.

Also, the MP said that Paris decided not to put the helicopter in solidarity with the position of other European States. Now, in his opinion, it is time to tell them of France in return, the parliamentarian said.

Days.Roux wrote that Paris decided not to give Mistral Moscow and prepared proposals for breach of contract. They meant a return of about 785 million euros, which Russia can obtain only after issuance of a written permission to implement the ships to any third party without the uses of the reservations.

In addition, the Russian defense Ministry on such amount did not agree. To the best knowledge of the Agency, "the flow of funds and expenses" incurred by Russian organizations in connection with the construction and maintenance of the helicopter, reached 1,163 billion euros.

Remember that Rosoboronexport and the French company DCNS signed a contract for the erection of 2 helicopter carrier in early June 2011. Delivery of the first of them promised to take place in early November 2014, but this did not happen.
