Boeing and its congressional allies want to penalize EADS' bid based on a recent World Trade Organization ruling that European governments improperly subsidized Airbus programs, including the A330, which is the basis for EADS' KC-45 tanker <http://www.kc45now.com/>. "Boeing is demanding that EADS be penalized in the tanker competition for any support that Airbus has received; but it ignores the full meaning of the WTO's initial findings and the parallel WTO case against Boeing," Airbus Americas Chairman Allan McArtor wrote in an introduction to a report<http://blog.seattlepi.com/aerospace/library/Boeing_Subsidies_Report_2010-5-26.pdf>, "Don't Let Boeing Close the Door on Competition," which Airbus Americas commissioned from the Hogan Lovells law firm. (Here's an earlier story<http://blog.seattlepi.com/aerospace/archives/198465.asp>about a Boeing-funded report on Airbus subsidies.) The Airbus report "restores balance (and hard facts) to this debate," and "shows that Boeing has also received government support certainly no less than Airbus," McArtor said. Specifically, the report says, the European Union documented approximately $16.6 billion in government research and development subsidies to Boeing between the late 1980s and 2006, compared with just $3.7 in alleged R&D funding to Airbus. The report says th EU found approximately $4.9 billion in state and local tax breaks to Boeing (not counting newer South Carolina tax breaks for Boeing's second 787 assembly line), compared with just $1.6 billion claimed to have gone to Airbus. And Boeing got about $1.5 billion from the Japanese government and nearly $600 million from Italy toward its 787 Dreamliner, helping move jobs overseas, the report says. Boeing and its supporters have relied on the WTO's finding that the Airbus subsidies violated trade rules. The Airbus report says Boeing continued to take tax-related export subsidies after they were found to violate trade rules under General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and then the WTO. It also notes that the WTO process is ongoing in the EU subsidy case and a European counterclaim about the aid to Boeing is pending. As for Iran, a Boeing executive told reporters<http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2513729720100525?type=marketsNews>Tuesday that EADS has courted U.S. adversaries such as Iran, and that should figure into the tanker competition. Responding<http://www.kc45now.com/news-real-tanker-news/05-26-2010.asp>on its tanker website Wednesday, EADS North America said: Let us be clear. EADS North America and its subsidiaries are not involved in any trade with Iran. The allegations against the company by Boeing are false. EADS scrupulously abides by the laws and regulations that govern the sale of our products which include U.S. export control laws and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Boeing is spreading what it knows is misinformation, to distract attention from their lack of a tanker. It is this that prompted a Pentagon rebuke, via the principal spokesman for Defense Secretary Robert Gates: "We would not have welcomed EADS North America's participation in this important competition unless they were a company in good standing with the Department of Defense." Insofar as this issue has been brought into focus exclusively by Boeing for their own self-serving reasons, it would seem important to understand why Boeing has itself been penalized $2.4 billion by the U.S. government in this decade alone for a litany of ethical and legal violations. However, unlike Boeing, we do not presume to instruct the Department of Defense on who should be allowed to compete for this important and sensitive contract. We will continue to talk about the one thing this competition is supposed to be about tankers as we have done from the beginning. When our competitors have the courage to compete on the merits of their offering, they are welcome to join us in the discussion.
