<p>The tariffs referred to are imposed as part of the World Trade Organisation’s (WTO)
award of retaliatory rights in the Boeing dispute, recognising harm felt by UK and
European industries as a result of US subsidies.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government continues
to push for a swift de-escalation of the Airbus and Boeing disputes. We want a negotiated
settlement and to remove punitive tariffs that unnecessarily harm businesses and consumers
on both sides of the Atlantic, who are already dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.</p><p>

impose the EU’s retaliatory measures under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement.
From January 2021 the United Kingdom will represent itself independently in disputes
at the WTO and shall undertake such actions as are in the best interests of the United
Kingdom.</p>
