    Hi GA

    Nationally (in UK) organisations like Trading Standards, OFTEL, OFCOM ,etc have jurisdiction in UK courts.

    From my post above you will see that the WTO hasn’t got any automatic jurisdiction in national courts. The WTO may flag aspects and then it’s up to national law to decide if there is a case to answer (The WTO is often and can be completely ignored by national law or government).

    I am well aware of that, thank you. I was using it as an analogy, which you do not seem to have understood.

    It is a truly bizarre form of logic that leads one to expect an international arbitration body to start manufacturing airliners.

    Perhaps a little less time spent cutting and pasting press releases from manufacturers and a little more time spent on formulating and refining one’s own reasoning might lead to more sensible and robust opinions?

    My point is unless the WTO plan to rapidly themselves build (free of any subsidies) an alternative to Boeing’s 787 PP then they are wasting enormous resources doing all this ‘digging’.

    What a bizarre statement.

    By your logic, Trading Standards would be wasting their time and resources investigating a complaint against Tesco unless they were themselves planning to open a chain of large supermarkets.

    It simply makes no sense.

    Presumably you would prefer the FT to only print nice things about Boeing, and for the WTO to only rule in favour of US interests?

    As I’ve said for years, they’re all at it.

    Boeing, Airbus, the lot of them.

    Ahem…. “Aviation”, “Commercial”?

    Do these words ring any bells? 😎

    How about talking about the aeroplanes, rather than talking about one another?

    The aeroplanes are considerably more interesting, I assure you.

    Thanks

    I think there is a misunderstanding between the moderators on the number of posts/pages in a thread rule.

    GA I think looks at the number of posts when its over 1000 he closes the thread.

    Arthur works by way of counting the pages once it hits 20 he tends to close them down.

    frank mostly closes the old thread after a new one is started by hotdog.

    See post #12.

    Posts aren’t always the same length. 🙂

    Interestingly, due to the rules of the FA Cup, Crawley (being a non-League club) will take a greater share of the Old Trafford gate receipts than United.

    Ker-chinnngggg! 🙂
