BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS OF 1 JANUARY 2016
Three members are not seeking renewal of their mandates
and are standing down at the end of this meeting at their
own request. I would like to thank Anne Lauvergeon for her
valuable contribution to the Board over the last three years
and Michel Pébereau for some nine years of outstanding
service to the Company. A special word should be reserved
for our third departing member, Manfred Bischoff, a true giant
of the aerospace world by any standards. His contribution to
the consolidation of the European aerospace industry and to
the creation of EADS, but also his continued dedication to
Airbus Group, cannot be overestimated. It is hard to imagine
how Airbus Group could have come into existence without
the vision and tireless efforts of Manfred Bischoff.
His foresight and convictions will continue to serve as a
shining example to us all. On that note, I would also like to
thank you, our loyal shareholders, for the trust you bring to our
management and to the Board. Let me assure you that we
are determined to repay that trust.
