"Following the debate that we had on this issue of the Boeing complaint against Airbus before the WTO, and in response to the US Senate resolution on the same subject, I am pleased to see that we are today defending a resolution that will ensure the European Parliament’s support for Airbus. Boeing’s complaint against Airbus seems to have more to do with commercial interests than with actual compliance issues relating to competition rules. It was only when Airbus won a series of aircraft orders that Boeing filed a complaint with the WTO. The US aircraft manufacturer is also in violation of the 1992 bilateral agreement, since it received subsidies that were prohibited under this agreement. Yes, Airbus also received subsidies, but these consisted of repayable financing allowed under the rules. Not only was this financing fully repaid, but Airbus also paid back 40% on top of the amount lent to it by EU governments. I support the resolution that we will be voting on tomorrow. The European Parliament must call for a fair and swift end to the dispute while making a public show of support for Airbus."@en1
