The Spanish and French delegations informed the Council on the impact of the US tariffs imposed as a countervailing measure in the framework of the dispute over the Airbus case within the WTO on European agrifood products.
These tariffs were decided on last October, and a new document published by the US government on 6 December proposes a possible revision of the list and the amounts of the tariffs already imposed.
The Spanish and French delegations urged the European Commission to act firmly in the search for negotiated solutions, and to intensify actions to promote stable and rule-based international trade. Furthermore they also asked for: private storage aid for the olive oil sector, and additional flexibility and resources for the wine promotion programmes, as well as the activation of all instruments of the single CMO for allthe sectors that are affected
