Exercise 18

Airbus and Boeing subsidies. The U.S. and European Union have had a long-running dispute over allegations of improper government subsidies to commercial aircraft manufacturers (the U.S. about Airbus and the EU about Boeing). Government subsidies may give the manufacturer a price advantage over its competition. Both sides filed complaints with the World Trade Organization. Go to the Web site of the WTO (http://www.wto.org) and write a report outlining the trade dispute and its current status.
