• US rejects Antigua & Barbuda position on gaming issue

April 26, 2006 – The United States is now arguing that it is in compliance with the WTO ruling that it should adjust its discriminatory trade regulations which restrict the access by Antigua-based gaming companies to the US market. The US is now claiming that Antigua & Barbuda has misunderstood the WTO ruling. This is coming only a year after the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) ground-breaking decision in Antigua & Barbuda’s favour. US Ambassador to the WTO, Peter Allgeier, stated categorically: “The United States is in compliance with the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute.” He went on to state the US government is aware, based on public statements, that Antigua & Barbuda’s understanding of the findings of the DSB in the dispute differs from America’s. “We believe that understanding is incorrect, and that Antigua’s misreading of the results of this dispute has fostered misperceptions concerning their implications.” He reiterated the US’ position that since the restrictive legislation deals with “an issue of public morals and public order” it falls under an exception under the General Agreement in Trade and Services (GATS).
