PARIS, Nov 6 (Reuters) - French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire on Monday hailed a new agreement on space launches between France, Germany and Italy, saying it secured funding for 42 launches of the delayed Ariane 6 and a return to service for Italy's grounded Vega-C.

The deal between Europe's three leading launch nations also clarifies usage of the European spaceport in French Guiana and opens up competition to future launchers, Le Maire said.

A separate statement by France, Germany and Italy said Avio's (AVI.MI) Vega C would receive up to 21 million euros in public support.

The deal follows six months of talks amid signs of differences as France lobbied for Ariane 6 support and Germany pressed for future competition in the France-led launch sector.

"This is a major success and a decisive point in European space history.

It preserves European unity on the question of access to space," Le Maire told reporters following talks between members of the 22-nation European Space Agency (ESA).
