The union wrote in a letter, sent after the two sides filed complaints at the World Trade Organization over aid to aircraft makers, that it expected the United States to abide by the agreement. Nullifying the accord is an effort by the United States to remove limits on subsidies to Boeing as the company develops the 7E7 Dreamliner, which it plans to deliver in 2008, the union said. "They haven't provided grounds for terminating the agreement, and therefore we don't think it's a substantiated termination,'' a commission spokeswoman, Arancha Gonzalez, told a news conference in Brussels. The dispute threatens to disrupt the financing each plane maker taps to develop aircraft. It also risks damaging the $400-billion-a-year trade relationship between the European Union and the United States. The United States withdrew from the aircraft-financing agreement when it filed the initial W.T.O. complaint, claiming Airbus has received more than $15 billion in government loans since 1967, helping it overtake Boeing's lead in aircraft sales. Airbus is based in Toulouse, France. The Europeans countered, arguing that Boeing, based in Chicago, has received $23 billion in aid since 1992. The agreement calls for Europe and the United States to meet at least once a year to raise concerns, Ms. Gonzalez said, and the United States has refused to meet for the last two and a half years, "which seems to indicate that they didn't have any.'' Richard Mills, a spokesman for the United States trade representative's office, said, "The E.U. has not acted in accord with the agreement, notably in providing production aid to the A380.'' http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/09/business/worldbusiness/09trade.html?ex=1098339712&ei=1&en=fd8f6754c3f5d1f0 --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
