BERLIN (Reuters) -The German government has cleared the way for the delivery of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey following a positive decision by the federal security council, the Spiegel news magazine reported on Wednesday.
Turkey has been in talks on buying Eurofighter Typhoon jets, which are built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain, represented by companies Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo.
Germany's federal security council, whose approval is required for arms exports, operates behind closed doors and the government generally does not comment on its decisions.
The German defence ministry declined to comment on the report. The economy ministry did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Earlier this week, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Germany and Britain took a positive stance on the sale of the jets, adding that Ankara wanted to finalise the purchase as soon as possible.
