The European Commission has finalised its draft report March 2009 following an investigation into United States measures affecting foreign suppliers of Internet gambling services. The investigation has found that US laws on remote gambling and their enforcement against EU companies constitute an obstacle to trade that is inconsistent with WTO rules. The provisional conclusions of the report imply that WTO proceedings against US measures would be justified. At the same time, the report indicates that the issue should be addressed with the US Administration, with a view to finding a negotiated solution. The report, completed in the framework of the EU Trade Barriers Regulation (TBR), will now be sent to EU member states for possible comments on the findings, and will be made public once finalised. |
