| | Eurocopter Pacific Expo 98, Speech, 4 February 1998. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Dr Sobotta (Co-Chairman of Eurocopter), M. Olivier Lambert (Eurocopter Vice President Asia Pacific), His Excellency M. Girard (French Ambassador), Parliamentary colleagues, distinguished diplomatic representatives, members of the ADF and Department of Defence, industry representatives, ladies and gentlemen. |
 | | Today, Eurocopter Group is the largest helicopter manufacturer in Europe and the largest civil manufacturer in the world. |
 | | The decision by Eurocopter to travel here to Australia to launch its Pacific Expo is, I believe, a strong vote of confidence in the Asia-Pacific's potential, and Australia's role within that potential, in the high tech business. |
