Together with other companies in the principal industries in which it operates, EADS is subject to numerous E.U., national, regional and local environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions into the environment, discharges to surface and subsurface water and the disposal and treatment of waste materials. EADS believes that its current operations are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. EADS believes that it is currently capable of satisfying the stricter environmental standards for the future contemplated by current laws or regulations, including increasingly stringent environmental product quality standards that will be implemented over the next few years, without incurring significant capital expenditure. However, there can be no assurance that increased capital expenditure and operating costs resulting from future environmental regulations will not adversely affect the results of EADS’ operations and its financial condition.
