Response to Invitation to Submit Inputs and Comments regarding EU-US Export Control Cooperation under the Trade and Technology Council (TTC)

Boeing welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the consultation on the EU-US Export Control Cooperation under the Trade and Technology Council (TTC), which takes place at an important time in the EU-US relationship.  

Boeing in Europe and Globally

Boeing has been a part of the European aerospace community for more than 80 years. In Europe, Boeing directly employs more than 5,800 talented people, with our programmes supporting nearly 190,000 highly skilled jobs in Europe. We have directly delivered over 4,600 commercial aircraft to more than 130 European customers in the last six decades; prior to the current pandemic, Boeing aircraft were carrying 385 million passengers from Europe to destinations all over the world each year.  We are deeply invested in Europe’s success, having sourced, on average, €25 billion in aircraft components from hundreds of European partners over a three-year period.  We continue to strengthen our presence in Europe by investing in research and development and by contributing to EU long-term goals

More broadly, Boeing is the United States’ largest exporter and works closely with its many partners and suppliers around the world to create its aerospace products. Today, more than 70 percent of Boeing’s total backlog is represented by customers outside the U.S. Our business growth benefits local partners, customers, shareholders and employees globally. Our increasing in-market presence and local partnerships in key global markets are expanding our business even more. Partnerships with the world’s best companies and research institutes, including many in Europe, enable us to capture emerging opportunities and establish long-term relationships. 

Comments on the EU-US Export Control Consultation

Boeing is pleased to share the attached position paper, as submitted to the United States’ Request for Public Comments Regarding Areas and Priorities for US and EU Export Control Cooperation Under the Trade and Technology Council [Docket No. BIS–2021–0011], Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 30, 2021 / Notices, via http://www.regulations.gov.  The comments are intended to aid the streamlining and facilitation of exports between the United States and European Union thereby contributing to a stronger transatlantic relationship. We provide areas where we believe concrete steps can be taken to make existing US and/or EU dual-use export control policies and practices more transparent, more efficient and effective, more convergent, and fit for today’s challenges.  We stand ready to support further dialogue with the US, EU and Working Group 7 on this important matter.
