		A first visible indication that Airbus was seriously working on a counter to the Boeing 7E7 came in mid-August 2004, when Singapore Airlines deferred a widely expected decision to order the new Boeing high-tech twinjet, giving it time to study rival offerings.
		However, Airbus, EADS and BAE SYSTEMS had decided that no disbursement should take place throughout 2006 as long as there is a credible prospect of negotiations and similar restraint is being undertaken in the United States.
