BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The United States and the European Union on Saturday accused one another of trying to renege on Jan. 11 pledge to resolve a decades-old dispute over subsidies for civilian aircraft makers within three months.
The EU denounced a U.S. threat to revive a complaint at the World Trade Organization over aid for aircraft-maker Airbus, calling the move "premature and unnecessary."
"I regret this unilateral action in breaking off" talks over government subsidies for aircraft giants Boeing and Airbus, European Union Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson said.
