Antigua & Barbuda to meet with WTO body again
St. John’s Antigua- Antigua & Barbuda is due before the World Trade Organization (WTO) next Wednesday in a bid to stop the United States “misinformation” over its efforts to resolve the gaming dispute. The country’s trade officials are expected to plead their case before the dispute settlement body in keeping with a statement made by Finance Minister Harold Lovell, last month. He was critical of a statement by the US, which claimed that Antigua & Barbuda failed to accept reasonable settlement for the decade old dispute.
Caribbean wants US to comply with WTO ruling
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Caribbean leaders are calling on the United States to comply with the ruling by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to end the long running dispute with Antigua and Barbuda on internet gaming. In a ruling last month, the Geneva-based WTO allowed Antigua and Barbuda to suspend certain concessions and obligations it has under international law to the United States in respect of intellectual property rights. Washington has criticised the move by St. John’s warning that it might further hurt trade relations between the two countries.
EDITORIAL: The right and duty to vote
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - THIS IS THE DAY and now is the moment. Barbadians will cast their vote today to elect an administration to govern the island for the next five years. As a people, we need to appreciate the importance of the vote and not pass on the opportunity, only to complain at a later date, whether in whispers or anonymously on one of the radio talk shows, when things do not go the way we expected.
