Mark Mendel, lead attorney for Antigua, believes that, given the expansion of remote gambling in the US, with almost certainly more to come, that new claims before the World Trade Organization would result in larger settlements. Mendel is attempting to reach a long-overdue settlement with the US regarding damages to the Antiguan economy caused by the US block of online casinos.

The Antigua Sun reported on Wednesday that Antigua & Barbuda’s Minister of Finance, Dr. Errol Cort, has returned to the United States for a final round of trade negotiations with Bush administration officials regarding the years-long standoff between the countries over Internet gambling. Cort expessed optimism that his negotiations with United States Trade Relations (USTR) representatives could produce some form of agreement, despite previous meetings that led to no resolution.

Antigua Finance Minister Errol Cort revealed that Antigua and Barbuda has not reached any closer to a settlement with the US on the gaming dispute. “We had a series of discussions in an effort to advance the settlement talks; but, today we have not been able to agree on or finalize those discussions,” he said in a press conference this week. When contacted, Mark Mendel, Antigua’s attorney at the World Trade Organization (WTO)…

The online gambling feud between the US and Antigua is set to continue for at least several more months following the arrival of an American trade delegation to the tiny Caribbean nation last week for another round of talks. The countries have been at odds since the World Trade Organization ruled last year that the island could impose retaliatory sanctions up to USD 21 million for a US ban on online betting…

Deputy United States Trade Representative (USTR) Ambassador John Veroneau is expected to arrive in Antigua and Barbuda today to begin high-level talks with Minister of Finance and the Economy, Dr. Errol Cort, on the longstanding trade battle between the two countries over internet gambling.

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) was informed yesterday that Antigua and Barbuda and the United States had agreed to another deferral of arbitration proceedings, as the two countries seek to finalise a bilateral agreement that would bring years of conflict over the Internet gambling industry to an end. Minister of Finance and the Economy Dr. Errol Cort yesterday told the Antigua Sun that the parties have agreed to a further extension of their talks to 11 July.

Washington and St John’s have set a new deadline of Friday to resolve their dispute over Internet gambling, according to Antigua’s top finance official. Antigua accuses the United States of crippling its gambling industry by banning Americans from placing online bets with gambling operators, including those based in the twin-island country of just 70,000 inhabitants.

It may have been offered after the World Trade Organization deadline, but it appears that the United States has at last proposed a settlement in its protracted WTO dispute with the Antigua and Barbuda government. The Antigua Sun newspaper is currently reporting that the Caribbean island government is soon to make a statement „…that a proposal for the resolution of the trade dispute received from the U.S. last week has not been met favourably.“

The deadline for the US to put forward a proposal to settle its long running Internet gambling dispute passed last Monday with Antigua and Barbuda reportedly receiving no word from the US. Up to late last Monday, neither Antigua and Barbuda’s attorney in the matter Mark Mendel nor the local Directorate of Gaming had received any communication on the matter from US officials.

A settlement proposal due by the end of the month could put an end to the five-year trade battle over Internet gaming between Antigua and Barbuda and the United States. According to Mark Mendel, Antigua and Barbuda’s attorney in its World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute, the US is scheduled to put forward a proposal for the settlement of both aspects of the trade dispute by next Monday.
