WTO Head Confident USA Will Come Right
 April 26, 2007, 8:03 pm (4 years ago)The Antigua Sun has reported that a well known top official in the World Trade Organization, who is known as Director Pascal Lamy is now confident that the United States will eventually comply with the WTO’s ruling on its online gambling discriminatory practices.
The Antigua Sun also reports that Pascal Lamy was also speaking to a closed session of a meeting with the CARICOM Ministers of Trade, and that he also observed that the preservation of the rules based multilateral trading system on which the WTO is also based ensures that over a period of time, the United States will take a move to implement the rulings and well as the recommendations of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body.
Dr. Errol Cort, who is Antigua as well as Barbuda’s Minister of Finance and the economy, has asked Lamy how the WTO intends on ensuring that the rights of the smallest members are treated in the same manner as the largest members. Lamy said that it is in the best interest of all of the major trading nations of the world to ensure that the organs of the WTO are seen as fully functional and that the rulings as well as the recommendations are fully respected and implemented in the case of the Dispute Settlement system.
Lamy also took the time to note that in his own view the United States has unfailingly implemented the rulings and recommendations of the DSB in all of the instances, even in those cases where such rulings have actually gone against it.
