French plane maker Airbus has agreed to take measures to comply with the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) ruling on subsidies for its A350 and A380 jet programmes.

Airbus has already reached agreements with EU member states, including France, Germany, Spain and the UK, to amend the A380 and A350XWB Reimbursable Launch Investment (RLI) loans.

The agreements will enable the EU to inform the WTO of an additional set of compliance measures.

This move follows a final WTO ruling that allows the US to seek sanctions against the items imported from the EU.

“Airbus is looking forward to seeing the same constructive attitude and actions of the US and Boeing in the upcoming DS353 case.”

The ruling is the result of a case, DS316, filed by US aircraft manufacturer Boeing in 2006, alleging Airbus of receiving $22bn of undue subsidiaries from the EU to help launch its A380 and A350 jets.

In response, the EU launched a second case, DS353, with the WTO in 2012 complaining that Boeing had secured illegal government aids to develop its large civil aircraft.

Airbus general counsel John Harrison said: “We are confident that we have now achieved full compliance in the DS316 case as a clear demonstration of the will to ensure a fair trade environment respecting international trade agreements.

“Airbus is looking forward to seeing the same constructive attitude and actions of the US and Boeing in the upcoming DS353 case.”

The EU expects to pull Boeing down in a parallel case regarding the US aid for Boeing later this year, reported Reuters.
