An Unbiased Look: THE EUROPEAN UNION AND BRAZIL

After the dispute panel met in Geneva, Switzerland, and the United States gave no indication that it plans to provide compensation to affected companies, the Brazilian delegation and the European Union announced their unequivocal support of the small island of Antigua. Though Brazil does not have a noticeable interest in the online casino gambling industry, the country feels that the issue with the U.S. goes beyond merely online casinos and into global policy and respect. The on the other hand is heavily involved in internet gambling, and could seek compensation along with Antigua.

Many other countries, like India, agree with the WTO’s initial ruling that found that the U.S. needed to either amend the restrictions placed on offshore online casino companies, or provide Antigua and other affected countries with the specified compensation clause that comes into effect if a country alters global agreements. And though the U.S. is attempting to circumvent the need to compensate other countries, both Brazil and the EU have pledged to support Antigua, and global interests until this issue is resolved.

For the E.U., many UK counties lost huge revenue when the anti-online casinos legislation passed; so it is anticipated that the E.U. has a valid claim at being rewarded damages.

Most outside countries are wondering why the U.S. expects that the rest of the global community will accept that U.S. companies are still allowed to run online casinos and offshore betting sites as long as the sites do not service U.S. citizens. The countries are claiming that the U.S.’s ban specifically discriminates against foreign companies.
