EU member states and industry sectors are concerned over the inclusion of aircraft on the list of US products targeted in retaliatory measures under preparation in Brussels, according to MEP Bernd Lange (Germany/S&D), chair of the Parliament's Trade Committee.
“The big part [on the list] is the question of aircraft," said Lange, flagging that the sector would form part of the ongoing trade negotiation with the US, especially since there remains residual trade aggravation between the two sides following a protracted dispute over subsidies to Boeing and Airbus.
