BOEING ATTACKS
July 2004 Harry Stonecipher, CEO of Boeing at the time accused Airbus of abusing the 1992 bilateral EU-US agreement in regards to large civil aircraft support from governments. (5) Boeing claims that Airbus has violated the agreement in a number of ways. 1. The Europeans haven't repaid the loans or the interest that has accrued on those loans. They have manipulated the accounting that takes advantage of the loopholes and allows them to avoid repayments (5) 2. They have failed to issue annual progress reports that spell out clearly where and when government money was received and paid back (5).
