Wed, 03 Jan 2007 23:00:59 EDT | New York Times

Ryanair Holdings, the discount airline, announced a lawsuit against the French government, arguing that newly imposed labor taxes were illegally hampering its operations.

Jim Callaghan, Ryanair?s director of regulatory affairs, said France ?tries to force foreign airlines to apply French labor laws when they base aircraft in France,? in violation of European labor laws.

The Bush administration said it would renegotiate the language covering labor rights in free trade agreements it has reached with Peru, Colombia and Panama, in order for the new Democratic Congress to approve the deals. John K. Veroneau, deputy United States trade representative, said that the three countries had been notified and predicted that an agreement on revised language could be reached without a lengthy delay. The announcement was the strongest signal to date that the administration was prepared to modify its trade policies in light of Democratic control of the House and Senate.
