The slow process of getting European nations to commit to a joint fleet of A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transports continues. Airbus Defence and Space said that Germany and Norway have joined Luxembourg and the Netherlands in the scheme, by signing an MoU at NATO headquarters in Brusssels on June 29. It is now five years since the European Defence Agency (EDA) initiated the Multinational Multi-Role Tanker Transport Fleet (MMF) project.
