U.S. Presses Complaint on Airbus.

The article reports on the filing of a procedural complaint by the U.S. with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against European government spending on Airbus Industries SA. The U.S. complained that the European Union, France, Germany, Spain, and Great Britain are subsidizing Airbus aircraft in contravention of the WTO rules. Boeing argues that only major point that needs to be resolved is the grant of subsidies for developing new aircraft. The aid must be paid back when aircraft begins selling.
