WTO panel report is in, Airbus and Boeing both claim victory

The 1,076 page WTO panel report on the US case against subsidies to EADS and Airbus is in, and the outcome is not wholly satisfactory to any party. While US trade representative and Boeing have again come out with claims of a sweeping victory, Airbus too has claimed the WTO panel has rejected the majority of US claims. The EU has been quick to point out that only when the final report on the EU case against US subsidies Boeing has been released will a full and more balanced picture of this dispute be drawn.
