1316 GMT - Hours after Airbus says it is seeking talks with governments over relief of some onerous financial penalties on the A400M military transport plane program, the response from customer nations is muted. French government officials aren't ready to say anything. German government officials welcomed Airbus's commitment to the program and desire to fix the problems. A spokesman says talks that have been ongoing for some time could continue. But the government wasn't ready, at this point, to commit to renegotiation of contract terms. (robert.wall@wsj.com)
