Airbus Chief Executive Guillaume Faury said the law, which boosts U.S. investment in renewable energy products, “is destabilizing the level playing field” between U.S. and European companies by providing subsidies that could draw business into the United States.

During a speech at the Aero Club in Washington, Faury said it was “absolutely essential” that fair competition be maintained.

According to the White House, the Inflation Reduction Act, which became law last year, provides $370 billion in investments aimed at boosting domestic clean energy technology development and manufacturing.

The European Commission put forward its own green industry proposal earlier this month.
