Extension for Antigua vs US dispute
 October 6, 2008, 10:21 am (1 year ago)According to the Antigua Sun newspaper this week, the dispute between Antigua and the United States on the World Trade Organization on the removal of gambling constituents from the agreement by the US might seem like it has come to a “seize fire” moment for now.
Finance Minister Dr. Errol Cort, explained to the newspaper that in spite of long-drawn-out concessions there is no indication of parties come closer to an satisfactory agreement.
Regarding the newest conference of delegations from the 2 governments, Dr. Cort stated:"We had a sequence of debates in an attempt to progress the agreement talks; but, today we did not succeed to consent on or firm up those debates."
When contacted, Mark Mendel, Antigua’s attorney at the World Trade Organization (WTO), stated that he saw that yet an additional extension for an agreement was in the works.
Dr. Cort unveiled that he would hold a telephone meeting with the deputy representative of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on October 7th in a final effort to make advancement. At the end of that debate, he hoped that a final decision could be made with regard to which way forward the Antiguans would turn out with the issue.
