OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

[Dispute No. WTO/DS316]

Trade Representative.

Willis S. Martyn, Associate General

(202) 395–3150. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C. 

3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and 

opportunity for comment be provided 

after the United States submits or 

receives a request for establishment of a 

WTO dispute settlement panel. 

Consistent with this obligation, USTR is 

providing notice that it has requested a 

panel pursuant to the WTO 

Understanding on Rules and Procedures 

Governing the Settlement of Disputes 

(‘‘DSU’). Once it is established, the 

panel will hold its meetings in Geneva, 

Switzerland, and could issue a report on 

its findings and recommendations as 

soon as three months after its 

establishment. 

Major Issues Raised by the United 

States 

On June 1, 2011, the Dispute 

Settlement Body (‘‘DSB’’) adopted its 

recommendations and rulings in the 

dispute European Communities and 

Certain Member States—Measures 

Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft 

(DS316) (‘‘EC—Large Civil Aircraft’’). 

The DSB ruled that the following are 

specific subsidies within the meaning of 

Articles 1 and 2 of the Agreement on 

Subsidies and Countervailing Measures 

(‘‘SCM Agreement’’) that caused adverse 

effects to U.S. interests within the 

meaning of Articles 5(c) and 6.3(a), (b), 

and (c) of that Agreement: 

• Grants of launch aid/member State 

financing (‘‘LA/MSF’’) by the European 

Union (‘‘EU’’) member state 

governments of France, Germany, Spain, 

and the United Kingdom to Airbus for 

the A300, A310, A320, A330, A340, 

A330–200, A340–500/600, and A380; 

• The provision of the Mu ̈hlenberger 

Loch site and the lengthened Bremen 

Airport Runway; 

• Grants by authorities in Germany 

and Spain for the construction of 

manufacturing and assembly facilities in 

Nordenham, Germany, and Sevilla, La 

Rinconada, Toledo, Puerto de Santa 

Maria, and Puerto Real, Spain, and by 

the government of Andalusia and 

Castilla-La Mancha to Airbus in Puerto 

Real, Sevilla, and Illescas (Toledo); 

• The 1989 acquisition by 

Kreditanstalt fu ̈r Wiederaufbau (‘‘KfW’’) 

of a 20 percent equity interest in 

Deutsche Airbus and the 1992 transfer 

by KfW of its 100 percent equity interest 

in Deutsche Airbus to MesserschmittBo ̈lkow-Blohm GmbH (‘‘MBB’’); and 

• The 1987, 1988, 1992, and 1994 

equity infusions to Ae ́rospatiale. 

The DSB recommended that the EU 

and certain member States bring their 

WTO-inconsistent measures into 

compliance with their obligations under 

the SCM Agreement. 

On December 1, 2011, the EU 

transmitted a document (‘‘EU 

Notification’’) to the United States and 

the DSB claiming that the EU had 

brought its measures fully into 

conformity with the DSB 

recommendations and rulings. The EU 

notification included a list of 36 

‘‘appropriate steps’’ taken by the EU to 

bring its measures into conformity with 

the EU’s WTO obligations. Upon review 

of the notification, the United States did 

not agree with the EU’s position that the 

EU had fully complied with the DSB 

recommendations and rulings. 

Accordingly, the United States 

requested consultations on December 9, 

2011. The United States and the EU 

held consultations on January 13, 2012. 

The consultations failed to resolve the 

dispute. 

Article 7.8 of the SCM Agreement 

provides that a Member found to 

maintain measures inconsistent with 

Article 5(c) and 6.3 of the SCM 

Agreement ‘‘shall take appropriate steps 

to remove the adverse effects or shall 

withdraw the subsidy.’’ The United 

States considers that the EU has done 

neither of these with regard to the 

measures identified above. As there is 

‘‘disagreement as to the existence or 

consistency with a covered agreement of 

measures taken to comply with the 

recommendations and rulings’’ of the 

DSB, the United States is seeking 

recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU. 

The United States has requested that 

the Article 21.5 panel consider the 

following matters. With respect to the 

measures the EU has identified in the
