The spat is expected to increase as both Italy\u2019s ruling parties \u2014 Five Star and Salvini\u2019s League party \u2014 get on the campaign trail ahead of European parliamentary elections in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Pierside troubles<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts fear fallout for defense industry collaboration between the countries, which starts with the well-established satellite and space joint venture between Italy\u2019s Leonardo and France\u2019s Thales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the main concern is the naval deal, which was signed last October, under which Fincantieri and Naval Group created a 50-50 joint venture to build and export naval vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fincantieri CEO Giuseppe Bono said he hopes the deal is the start of wider collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the launch of Italy\u2019s ninth FREMM frigate on Jan 26, Bono played down the frictions with France, telling reporters, \u201cWe are part of the same alliance, we have common history,\u201d and adding that the diplomatic tensions \u201cwill not influence the work we are doing with Naval Group.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one analyst was less sanguine. \u201cIt\u2019s a complicated deal, and as it gets more complicated, external events become more influential,\u201d said Jean Pierre Darnis, scientific adviser at Rome\u2019s IAI think tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf ministers from the two countries don\u2019t meet, and we are waiting for [the] next bilateral [meeting], problems won\u2019t get resolved. Right now the Italian-French business community is very concerned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The naval deal was spurred by an earlier accord for Fincantieri to take control of French shipyard Chantiers de l\u2019Atlantique. That deal, too, was up in the air when France and Germany referred the agreement to the European Commission for anti-trust scrutiny last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat has happened is extremely serious, France and Germany behaved wrongly. It throws into doubt all accords,\u201d Italy\u2019s Salvini said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bono said he was confident the EU would not oppose the deal, given it is \u201cin the interests of Europe,\u201d echoing claims that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/euronaval\/2018\/10\/24\/naval-group-fincantieri-join-forces-to-survive-competitive-global-shipbuilding-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\">consolidated European shipbuilding industry would enable competition<\/a> since it could compete with large players outside Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Europe\u2019s ability to consolidate industry was again thrown into doubt in January when Macron and German leader Angela Merkel agreed to forge closer ties between Germany and France to head off the political challenge in Europe from populist governments like Italy, Hungary and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One consequence, warned Italian IAI analyst Michele Nones, was that closer Franco-German ties could squeeze Italy out of access to defense industry funding provided by the new European Defence Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysts fear
