Hogan: EU hopes Airbus compliance a 'breakthrough' in WTO dispute

摘要

More progress has been made in 2020 in the Airbus-Boeing subsidies dispute than in the previous 15 years, EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said on Thursday, citing Airbus' recent claims of compliance as a major breakthrough. Hogan's claims of progress in the aerospace subsidies saga comes as the U.S. and EU continue to contest each other's compliance in parallel World Trade Organization proceedings. The U.S. earlier this week blasted the EU's claims that it had complied with a WTO ruling faulting EU member states for providing illegal subsidies to Airbus. Hogan on Thursday said the EU did not agree with the U.S.' unilateral claim that it had complied with a WTO ruling faulting U.S. subsidies to Boeing.
