After talking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy during the G20 meeting in Seoul last week, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday that he will meet the elected president Rousseff and the Minister of Defense Nelson Jobim, to finally hit the hammer on the purchase of fighter planes for the military.
The Rafale fighter jets built by French company Dassault compete with the American F/A-18 Super Hornet (Boeing) and the Swedish Gripen (Saab) with a billion dollar contract to buy 36 jets from Brazil.
Lula has demonstrated a preference for French planes, but as his government is at the end, he must take the decision together with Dilma.
"I think it's an important decision and also one of those decisions I can not take alone because and its is a long term thing and im a month and a half to finish my mandate. I talked with Sarkozy. I'll talk to Dilma and Jobim and with you and with the press, "he said in an interview at the Planalto Palace.

For France it is easier. The transfer of technology, France has much more credibility," Jobim said, noting, however, that other aspects like price and maintenance will also be analyzed in the choice of new combat aircraft of the Air Force (FAB).
...We're not buying fighter jets, but a technological package. This is the main factor. We're buying knowledge, without knowledge has no business," the minister told journalists at a dinner hosted by the Chamber of Commerce for France to honor Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as a person of the year.
