World 4 day United States prosecute EU subsidies to Airbus made a preliminary ruling in the case. Although this up to 1000-page ruling is still in the stage of confidentiality, results do not know, but its significance is in no way limited to who wins and who loses, but will give the world the far-reaching implications of aircraft manufacturing industry.
Europe and striving to be a "boss"
In October 2004, the United States a paper petition to the European Union, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, the EU gives a tooth for a tooth, sued the United States provide subsidies for the Boeing Company, the two sides up to 5 years of legal battle which started. This is considered as the World Trade Organization (WTO) was established 15 years the most important and most complex cases.
United States claim that France, Germany, United Kingdom and Spain and other EU countries continue to Airbus company research and develop new models offer low-interest loans and subsidies to Airbus benefit up to 2050 billion, thus in competition with Boeing in unfair advantage, in violation of WTO rules. The accused said that the EU United States apart from the tax concessions, stealing, pretending to Boeing's military Division provides a variety of research and development funds, on civil aircraft manufacturing dark make-up.
Legal experts have pointed out that subsidies this core issue, Europe and the United States parties just-a-dozen, another thief. Therefore, the EU is likely in the case of Airbus subsidies, and the United States in the defeat of the WTO is expected to award a few months of Boeing subsidy case also difficult to have a chance of winning.
This field is undoubtedly behind the controversy in Europe and in the struggle for global aircraft manufacturing industry. In the United States, it is against the EU State subsidies, Airbus, the "rising star" will grow rapidly, and in recent years, more than traditional "boss" Boeing, endanger the United States industrial interests.
At the moment, Airbus and Boeing are stepping up research and development of new aircraft, the competition for the future market, the WTO's ruling will affect the competitive situation of the parties.
France, Germany and the United Kingdom Government has undertaken that are being developed for the Airbus A350XWB-type aircraft of 40 billion funding provided. The main models will be on Boeing 787 delay line of type "Dreamliner" constitute direct challenges. United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk · 4, said that if the EU countries has been convicted of an offence that should not be empty ' research and development of new models offer subsidies.
Influence the development of the "newbie"
Airbus subsidies case award in addition to Airbus and Boeing around these two giants of the competition, but also on global aircraft manufacturing future development, and therefore of concern.
Development experience in Europe and indicate that the aircraft manufacturing industry exactly prophase costly, in the absence of Government help, only rely on their own strength is very difficult to maintain a profitable, even in the course of development, research and development costs are often overwhelmed the enterprise. It is precisely for this reason, the global aircraft manufacturing industry still is Airbus and Boeing two "dominance", its dominant position is still difficult to shake, especially in large and medium-sized aircraft market, new entrants to want to share a cup of soup is not an easy job.
However, aircraft manufacturing this "cake" is unusual and fascinating. According to Boeing estimates that global's existing aircraft 1.88 million, to the year 2028, this figure is expected to double to $ 3.56 million, of which the Chinese market is growing particularly promising.
In addition to Europe and the United States, Russia, Canada, Brazil and China are also developing the national aircraft manufacturing industry, on the one hand, in order to seize the market, on the other hand also to reduce dependence on the outside. Benefit from Government support, Canada Bombardier Aerospace company and Embraer are successfully into the regional aircraft market, have a place, Canada and Brazil also because subsidies are WTO litigation.
Take a domestic flight to India to attend the WTO mini-Ministerial Conference of Brazil's Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, 4 · said that Brazil on Airbus subsidies case results concern because it affects other countries in the development of aircraft manufacturing industry. United Kingdom ft evaluation said that the country may have to carefully reading the decision, to determine what kinds of subsidies to help national aircraft manufacturing, without breach of WTO rules.
Subsidies to temporarily difficult end
You can expect, and European subsidies would not be a paper of the WTO ruling and soon ended.
Even under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, in preliminary rulings were formally adopted, Europe will have the opportunity to resort to the appeal proceedings, the trial process, and then drag a few years, the time for their own gain. What's more, the aircraft manufacturing sector relates to the major strategic interests of both parties, either party will not be easily.
Aircraft and aircraft parts is the largest United States exports of industrial goods, and Boeing civil aircraft sector in the United States employs about 6.5 million, Airbus employees in Europe are more than 5 million. In the face of so many people in employment, Europe and the United States Government are not mindful of nature.
Airbus company claims that even if the WTO ruling against them, and no impact to the business, because the case involves the previous subsidy issues. The EU has also implied that, no matter what the WTO ruling, the EU will continue to provide subsidies to Airbus. · EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton 4, said, from the Government's support for such as the aviation industry is vital to the EU, the United States.
