Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Calls for the EU and the US to pool resources to fight unfair trade policies and practices, while respecting the dispute settlement process in the WTO and avoiding unilateral actions; deeply regrets, therefore, the uncertainty in the international trading system caused by the US’s reliance on instruments and policy tools (e.g. Section 232 from 1992, Section 301 from 1974) created before the creation of the WTO and its dispute settlement system; also stresses that any sanctions that may be taken by the US in the form of countermeasures on European goods following the publication of the Compliance Appellate Body report in the frame of the US complaint against the EU on measures affecting trade in large civil aircraft would not be legitimate, as 204 of the 218 claims put forward by the US were rejected by the WTO and a further report on the related case against US illegal subsidies remains expected;

Paragraph 10
10. Reiterates its support for the EU’s comprehensive strategy that considers all legitimate policy responses to address the threat to the EU economy and the global trading system; stresses the importance of preserving the unity of EU member states in this respect, as joint actions of the EU in the frame of the CCP and the EU customs union at international level, as well as bilaterally with the US, has proven to be far more effective than any initiative undertaken by individual member states;
