BRASILIA (Reuters) - The World Trade Organization opened a dispute settlement panel on Friday to rule on Brazil's complaint that Canada has hurt its commercial jet industry by subsidizing Bombardier Inc's (TO:BBDb) CSeries jets, the Brazilian foreign ministry said.
The chief executive of Bombardier's Brazilian rival Embraer SA (SA:EMBR3) told Reuters on Wednesday that a U.S. decision to slap steep anti-subsidy duties on the CSeries should bolster Brazil's case at the WTO.
