But its fate is perhaps already sealed. According to the Finance Minister, Thierry Breton, a solution would be found Sunday evening, which could be announced soon by the French, and German private shareholders Lagardère and DaimlerChrysler group. "The solutions are be finalized", he said yesterday, however calling MPs "to caution" on the case of Noël Forgeard, pending the findings of the investigation of the authority of the financial markets on the exercise of his stock and which should last several weeks. After the headquarters of Airbus in Toulouse, the AMF investigators were yesterday at the headquarters of EADS.
"The hearing is not a commission of inquiry, stressed yesterday, Patrick Ollier, UMP President of the economic affairs commission. "We will ask questions on a subject which concerns us economically, although there are certainly more personal questions for Noël Forgeard. On its side, the MP UMP Hervé Mariton, Member of the Finance Committee, cautioned against the temptation to "an expiatory victim of French capitalism". But, for the "Financial Times" and several German newspapers, his rapid departure would be a case heard. His eviction, claimed by DaimlerChrysler, have already been an agreement with the French in Bercy, at the end of the negotiations last weekend.
In the entourage of the individual, it refuses to believe his departure in the short term, noting its willingness to face the charges and the organizational difficulties that would be leaving.

"German control."
According to our information, DaimlerChrysler would have actually sought the departure of Noël Forgeard, who did not object in principle opposition on the part of Lagardère. But no agreement was yet found on the consequences of its replacement. The abandonment of the bicephalous direction, leaving the Executive presidential to Thomas Enders and the Presidency of the Council of supervision to Louis Gallois, would indeed encounter the opposition of unions FO and CFDT, who fear a "German takeover" and Berlin "who sees no reason to change the structures of the company", as it reaffirmed yesterday his voice and Arnaud Lagardère himself. It would above all a "industrial solution" to the problems of EADS and would not be prepared to renounce its prerogatives as head of the group.
The information on the rapid departure of Noël Forgeard could therefore be a way for DaimlerChrysler to maintain pressure on its French partners, after the publication last Monday, in the newspaper "Le Monde" of the "minutes" of an EADS audit committee. This report in fact shows the errors of assessment of Manfred Bischoff and Gustav Humbert on the delays of the A380, despite questions of Noël Forgeard and Louis Gallois. Unless the shareholders of EADS have simply postponed their verdict to not interfere with the hearing of the interested today in the Assembly.
