    This General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) agreement on trade in large civil aircraft was signed and took effect on July 17, 1992. Only one-third of the total development cost can since then be funded through reimbursable loans at rates at least equivalent to the cost of government borrowing plus 1 %. In addition, the indirect support can no more exceed of 3 % of the annual commercial turnover of the civil aircraft industry for large civil aircraft or of 4 % of the annual commercial turnover of any one company producing large civil aircraft, whatever applies (Altfeld 2010, p. 5).
