On March 14, 2000 the U.S. Government formally lodged an Article 84 complaint under the Chicago Convention with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) against a the European Union (EU) Regulation aimed at addressing the environmental threat posed by older production aircraft originally certified, in terms of noise, as Chapter 2 compliant, such as older B-727, B-737 and DC-9.
