11 Dec 2019 --- Eucolait, the European association of dairy trade, has condemned the imposition of punitive tariffs on EU dairy products by the US as a result of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Airbus ruling. Since October 18, an additional 25 percent duty has been applied by the US on a wide range of EU dairy tariff lines (in particular, cheese and butter) from almost all member states, as a penalty for the illegal subsidies obtained by the European Airbus aircraft manufacturer. “Disputes relating to aircraft subsidies should be resolved within that industry,” asserts the association.
