At that meeting the Members of the European Civil Aviation Council (ECAC) present were told by their legal advisor that they could not proceed under the ICAO Agreement as requested by Airbus and so Airbus persuaded the Commission to legislate where ECAC could not.
Ved det møde fik de tilstedeværende medlemmer af Den Europæiske Konference for Civil Luftfart (ECAC) at vide af deres juridiske rådgiver, at de ikke kunne fortsætte under ICAO-aftalen som krævet af Airbus, og så overtalte Airbus Kommissionen til at lovgive dér, hvor ECAC ikke kunne.
