EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND CERTAIN MEMBER STATES –
MEASURES AFFECTING TRADE IN LARGE CIVIL AIRCRAFT

Request for Consultations by the United States

Addendum

 The following communication, dated 31 January 2006, from the delegation of the United
States to the delegations of the European Communities, France, Germany, Spain and the
United Kingdom, and to the Chairman of the Disput e Settlement Body, is circ ulated in accordance
with Article 4.4 of the DSU.

 The United States refers to the 6 October 2004, request by the United States for consultations
with the Governments of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain, and with the European
Communities ("EC") (), the consultations held on 4 November 2004, and the US request
for the establishment of a panel in that dispute (W T/DS316/2). The United States refers also to the
statements to the Dispute Settlement Body (WT/DSB/M/191 and WT/DSB/M/194) in connection with
the requests for the establishment of a panel, and the EC's Request for Preliminary Rulings filed on
26 October 2005, concerning the US request for th e establishment of a Panel in the above-captioned
dispute.

 The United States is prepared, without prejudice either to its position on the EC's preliminary
ruling request or to its rights in the panel establis hed on 20 July 2005, to pursue consultations on the
measures identified below. Such consultations might, in addition to the purposes outlined in Article 4
of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), help
to clarify, and if possible, resolve, the issues in the EC's preliminary ruling request.

 Therefore, my authorities have instructed me to request consultations with the Governments
of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain (the "member States"), and with the EC, further
to Articles 1 and 4 of the DSU, Article XXIII:1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994
("GATT 1994"), and Articles 4, 7, and 30 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures ("SCM Agreement") (to the extent that Article 30 incorporates Article XXIII of the GATT
1994) with regard to measures affecting trade in la rge civil aircraft. This request supplements and
does not replace the request for consultations circulated as WT/DS316/1.

 The United States considers that measures of th e EC and the member States provide subsidies
that are inconsistent with their obligations under the SCM Agreement and the GATT 1994, including:

(1) The provision by the member States of financing for large civil aircraft design and
development to the Airbus companies
1 ("launch aid"). 2 This financing provides benefits to
the recipient companies including financing for projects that would otherwise not be
commercially feasible. The non-commercial terms of the financing may include no interest or
interest at below-market rates and a repayment obligation that is tied to sales. If the aircraft is
not successful, some or all of the financing need not be repaid. Specific examples of the
financing at issue include:

 (a) French financing for the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330/340, A330-200,
A340-500/600, A380, and A350;

 (b) German financing for the Airbus A 300, A310, A320, A330/340, A380, and A350;

 (c) United Kingdom financing for the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330/340,
 A340-500/600, A380, and A350; and

 (d) Spanish financing for the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330/340, A340-500/600,
A380, and A350.

(2) In addition to launch aid, the provision by the EC and the member States, through the
European Investment Bank ("EIB"), to the Air bus companies, of financing for large civil
aircraft design, development, and other purposes. Specific examples of the financing at issue
include:
3

 (a) Financing to British Aerosp ace for the A320 and the A330/A340;

 (b) Financing to Aérospatiale, Aérosp atiale Gramont and Aérospatiale Super
Transporteurs for the A300-600 and the A330/340;

 (c) Financing to Construcciones Aerona uticas SA ("CASA") for the A320 and the
A330/340;

 (d) Financing to Airbus Industrie for the A321; and

 (e) Financing to EADS for the A380.

1 The Airbus companies, as referenced throughout this request, include Airbus SAS, its predecessor
Airbus GIE and current and predecessor affiliated companie s, including each person or entity that directly, or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries or relationships, controls or controlled, is or was controlled by, or
is or was under common control with Airbus SAS or Airbus GIE, such as parent companies, sibling companies
and subsidiaries, including Airbus Deutschland GmbH, Airbus España SL, Airbus France S.A.S., Airbus UK
Limited, European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company ("EADS"), and BAE Systems.
2 The EC and the member States use different terms to describe the type of financing at issue, such as
launch aid, launch investment, repayable launch investment, development support in the form of royalty-based
financing, avances remboursables, Rückzahlbare Zu wendungen, Entwicklungsbeihilfen, Zuschüsse zur
Entwicklung von zivilen Flugzeugen, anticipo reembolsable, and prestamo reembolsable. Although the United
States will hereinafter refer to the financing as "launch ai d," the US request is with re spect to all such types of
financing, regardless of the specific term or terms that the entities providing and receiving the financing use.
3 EIB financing to airline customers for the purchase of new aircraft is not within the scope of this
consultation request.

(3) The provision by the EC and the member States of financial contributions in connection with
the construction, creation, development, expans ion, upgrade, and use of facilities and other

(h) The granting to Airbus of access to R&D facilities funded or co-funded
and/or owned, in whole or in part, by the UK, French, German and/or
Spanish governments (including research institutions controlled and/or
financed by member State governments such as, in particular, ONERA, DLR
and DERA/Qinetiq) for less than adequate remuneration, including, e.g., the
provision, by the German, French, a nd UK governments, of access by Airbus
to the wind tunnels operated by ONE RA, DLR and DERA/Qinetiq, whether
alone or jointly with others, including the wind tunnels operated by European
Transonic Windtunnel GmbH ("ETW") and by the DNW Foundation.

(7) Any amendments, revisions, implementing or related measures to the measures described
above.

(8) Any other measures that involve a financial contribution by the EC or any of the member
States that benefit the Airbus companies.

 The United States is concerned that the launch aid provided by the EC and the member States
to Airbus for the development of large civil aircraft and the EIB loans provided to Airbus appear to be
subsidies that are inconsistent with Articles 3.1(a) and (b) and Article 3.2 of the SCM Agreement.

 The United States further is concerned that the measures of the EC and the member States
that are the subject of this request appear to be causing adverse effects to US interests within the
meaning of:

• Article 5(a) of the SCM Agreement b ecause the measures are specific subsidies
within the meaning of Articles 1 and 2 of the SCM Agreement that are causing or
threatening to cause injury to the U.S. large civil aircraft industry.

• Articles 5(c), 6.3(a), 6.3(b), and 6.3(c) of the SCM Agreement because the measures
are specific subsidies within the meaning of Articles 1 and 2 of the SCM Agreement
that are causing or threatening to cause ser ious prejudice to the interests of the
United States through displacement and impe dance of imports of large civil aircraft
of the United States into the EC and third country markets, and through significant
price undercutting by large civil aircraft of the EC as compared with the price of large

civil aircraft of the United States in the same markets, and significant price
