PARIS, June 12 (Reuters) - Europe's Airbus said

on Wednesday that increasing trade tensions are testing the

resilience of companies that do business globally including in

China, where it builds some jets.

Asked to comment on a European decision to impose extra

duties on imported Chinese electric cars, a spokesperson did not

comment directly on the move but said in an emailed statement

that "trade tariffs increase complexity and costs".

Airbus has recently been in talks with China over a major

potential airplane order, Reuters reported in April.
