Brussels (AFP) Aug 09, 2005 The European Union's executive commission said Tuesday that it has cleared a joint venture in space launch services between US defence contractors Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The commission, which polices competition issues in the EU, said the creation of the partnership - named the United Launch Alliance - would not "significantly impede competition" in the 25-nation block. ULA is structured as a 50-50 percent joint venture and will incorporate the production, engineering, test and launch operations of rockets for the US government. The commission said the venture did not have a "direct impact on customers" in the EU.
