Germany demands lower costs and longer cancellation periods on Airbus' A400M military airlifters.
Germany ordered A400M military airlifters from Airbus, an aircraft manufacturing group based in France.
Germany's defense ministry is reported to appeal for price reductions for the military airlifters they ordered from Airbus.
The military airlifters are expected to be delivered to the country at a later date and less equipped, according to Reuters.
Initially the A400M military vehicles Germany purchased would be much more expensive.
Bild am Sonntag, Germany's largest national Sunday newspaper reported that Germany's defense ministry was also making efforts to drive Airbus to reveal "further planning and connected project risks" in relation to the military vehicles.
Germany is reported to receive the A400M military vehicles provided that the 'Airbus' vehicles meet their standards.
The army will acquire one plane from Airbus Military in Nov. as initially planned. However, the planes will not possess full military capabilities the army ordered.
The chief executive of Airbus released a statement last Thurs. regarding the issue with Germany's restrictive arms export policy that could obstruct partnership with the international arms industry.
"When it comes to defense and security policy, what the German government says and what it does are two very different things," Enders said in a statement on Reuters.
"Which European government will want to work on important defense projects with Germany in the future? How can such a one-sided and populistic view help to drive forward a common European defense and security policy?" he added.
German economy minister Sigmar Gabriel plans to impose stricter rules on arms exports to areas where top-security is a priority.
Berlin, Germany reportedly blocked a transaction of Qatar getting missiles from European missile manufacturer MBDA by not giving approval for parts to be transported from Germany to Fance.
Airbus is a major shareholder of MBDA, owning 37.5 percent of the company.
