German Defence Minister Thomas De Maiziere (C) attends a committee of enquiry in Berlin June 5, 2013, on the Euro Hawk unmanned surveillance drone program. On May 14, Germany withdrew from purchasing Euro Hawk reconnaissance drones, made by EADS and Northrop Grumman, due to the cost. The German parliament's budget committee gave its approval last year to a 483 million euro ($630 million) contribution to the NATO drone project.
