SpaceNews(9/18)
欧州と米国間での関連技術のやりとりに関して過度の規制をかけないことを合意。

NASA and ESA on Sept. 11 signed a broad memorandum of understanding on space transportation systems that ESA officials say should result in greater compatibility and interoperability in orbital hardware and launch vehicles.

Antonio Fabrizi, ESA’s launcher director, said Sept. 18 that the agreement is unprecedented in that it permits both agencies to work on developing common elements for rocket and orbital hardware systems without undue burdens from each side’s technology transfer regulations.
