EU COMMISSION: The European Commission has released a statement regarding Airbus

and the 'Airbus member states' (France, Spain, Germany) stating that the

countries and firm have agreed to modify the terms of the Repayable Launch

Investment (subsidy scheme) in order to comply with a WTO ruling. 

- Full statement: https://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/press/index.cfm?id=2171

- The change to the subsidy scheme has led the EU to demand the US lift its

sanctions on Airbus. Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said "Unjustified tariffs on

European products are not acceptable and, arising from the compliance in the

Airbus case, we insist that the United States lifts these unjustified tariffs

immediately."

- Hogan went on to say "In the absence of a settlement, the EU will be ready to

fully avail itself of its own sanction rights.", threatening a new raft of

sanctions against the US.
