ANTIGUA'S W.T.O. LAWYER TO SEEK COLLABORATION ON U.S. DISPUTE FROM E.C.

9 February 2007

European Commission could "...add support to our case and help encourage us to get the right results," says Mendel

The senior lawyer representing the interests of Antigua and Barbuda in its World Trade Organisation tussle with the United States over online gambling has responded positively to comments last week from EC competition commissioner Charlie McCreevy regarding US “protectionism”.

Antigua and Barbuda’s attorney Mark Mendel told ATE Online that he would be seeking to meet with McCreevy to explore how his country’s trade dispute with the US could benefit from expanded European Commission support following a WTO ruling that went against the United States recently.

Asked what he thought the EC could bring to the Antiguan argument, Mendel said: “What I do think they can do is add support to our case and help encourage us to get the right results. They may be able to provide us with some support at the governmental level that could be beneficial to us.”
