Oh yes there are enough of them. But to compete you need fair rules and open access to your competitors market, and that is not the case currently. What they are asking for is only the same protections as the US companies currently enjoy.
I'm sorry, what? What protections are you talking about? Nasa has booked flights on non-USA rockets many times in the past. SpaceX has received no subsidies( i.e. free money) but only contracts from the government which Ariane is now asking to be locked by law( and let's not even talk about subsidies).
