The World Trade Organisation has postponed the publication of a report on an action by the EU against the United States regarding subsidies granted to Boeing.

The progress report was published as a confidential WTO panel on the cons-procedure initiated by the Europeans was due July 16, two weeks after the decision of the international institution holding illegal subsidies received by Airbus from European governments.

"I can confirm that the president did speak with the parties concerned and said that because of the complexities of the case, there would be a delay in publishing the report," said Keith Rockwell, spokesman for the WTO.

The United States and Europe accused each other of illegally subsidizing their respective aircraft manufacturers.
