Public broadcast of statements in Airbus compliance appeal proceedings

At the request of the participants in the dispute “European Communities and Certain Member States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft – Recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU” (DS316), the Appellate Body Division hearing the appeal has decided to authorize observation of the oral hearing by WTO members and the general public. Given the participants’ request to protect certain sensitive business information, public observation will be limited to the opening statements and will take place via delayed broadcast.

The broadcast of the opening statements will take place at the WTO on Wednesday, 10 May at 10 a.m.

In light of limited seating capacity, the places reserved for the public will be allocated on a first come, first served basis upon receipt of a completed registration form. Completed forms should be sent by e-mail only, to the following address: airbusabhearing@wto.org.

Applications will be accepted until 12 noon, Geneva time, on Wednesday, 3 May 2017. Those to whom seats have been allocated will be advised by e-mail by Friday, 5 May, at which time further information regarding the broadcast will be provided. Those attending will need to present an official photo ID to access the viewing room. Please note that no audio/video recording will be permitted. Portable phones must be switched off throughout the broadcast. Security checks may delay access to the viewing room.

The WTO is unable to offer any support, including financial, for accommodation, flight arrangements or visas.

Only those with pre-allocated seats will be admitted.
