WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) - European planemaker Airbus
on Thursday welcomed news that the United States and Britain had
agreed a four-month suspension of U.S. retaliatory tariffs in a
long-running row over aircraft subsidies to allow negotiations
to take place.
    "We continue to support all such actions to create a
level-playing field — and continue to support a negotiated
settlement of this long-standing dispute in order to avoid the
continuation of lose-lose tariffs," Airbus spokesman Clay
McConnell said.
