I doubt that the European manfucturers would extend the same courtesy, the maintenance and logistical arm would be about the same, however I would think that parting would be more expensive because of shipping costs and currency differences.

Saab and Dassault have both publicly stated both planes will be open sourced to Canada. I think that means all manufacturing can be done in Canada. So no shipping costs and currency issues. Let me find the news links.

In the Saab one, it confirms both Dassault and Saab have offered total manufacturing control to Canada. Which is a boost to Bombardier since they need to build stuff.
