Dispute Settlement Proceedings On October 6, 2004, the United States requested WTO dispute settlement consultations with the European Communities (now the EU), France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom (certain member States) concerning certain subsidies granted by the EU and certain member States to the EU large civil aircraft domestic industry, on the basis that the subsidies appeared to be inconsistent with their obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). Further information on this dispute— EC and Certain member States— Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (DS316), including the original panel and appellate reports and the compliance panel and appellate reports adopted by the DSB, is publicly available on the WTO website, including at the following page: https:// www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/ cases_e/ds316_e.htm. On May 31, 2005, the United States requested the establishment of a dispute settlement panel. USTR provided notice of the establishment of the panel and PO 00000 Frm 00118 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 invited comments from the public concerning the issues raised in the dispute. See 70 FR 35496. In May 2011, a WTO panel report, as amended by an Appellate Body report, confirmed that EU and certain member State subsidies on the manufacture of large civil aircraft breached the EU’s obligations under the SCM Agreement. The Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted the reports on June 1, 2011, and recommended that the EU and certain member States bring the WTOinconsistent measures into compliance with WTO rules. The EU and certain member States had until December 1, 2011, to bring the measures into compliance. On December 1, 2011, the EU asserted that it had implemented the DSB recommendations. The United States did not agree, and requested authorization from the DSB to impose countermeasures commensurate with the adverse effects of the WTOinconsistent measures. The EU referred the matter to arbitration to assess the proper level of any countermeasures. In early 2012, the United States and the EU entered into a procedural agreement pursuant to which the arbitration would be suspended until after WTO compliance panel and any appellate proceedings determined whether the EU had implemented the DSB recommendations. On May 28, 2018, the DSB adopted compliance panel and Appellate Body reports confirming that launch aid to the Airbus A380 and A350 XWB aircraft continued to cause WTO-inconsistent adverse effects to U.S. interests. At the request of the United States, and in accordance with the procedural agreement, on July 13, 2018, the WTO Arbitrator resumed its work in determining the level of countermeasures to be authorized as a result of the WTO inconsistencies. USTR anticipates that the WTO Arbitrator will issue its report regarding the level of countermeasures in the summer of 2019. B. Initiation of Investigation Section 302(b) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the Trade Representative to initiate an investigation to determine whether conduct is actionable under section 301 of the Trade Act. Actionable conduct under section 301(a) includes, inter alia, the denial of rights of the United States under any trade agreement. In order to enforce U.S. WTO rights in connection with the Large Civil Aircraft dispute, the Trade Representative is initiating a section 301 investigation of the subsidies provided by the EU and E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM 12APN1
