Demands for Details

The United States Trade Representatives have alleged that the specific details on trade concession agreements between the U.S. and the European Union are classified for national security reasons. Well most in the online casinos industry and beyond are now pressing for the US Trade Representatives to release the classified documents that no one outside of the US Trade Representatives has even seen. A Oregon Congressman just last week is now calling for more congressional support to force the US to release the details of the trade concessions. The global online casinos industry is highly polarized at this point and the U.S. is still a prime target for international legal action (from the WTO).

Oregon Congressman Peter DeFazio is pressing the issue now and demanding that these online casinos trade concession be released, he has even suggested that the US Trade Representatives have overstepped the truth when alleging that the classification of the documents was for the purposes of national security. DeFazio comments, "There is a concern that the USTR may have been ambitious in its use of a 'national security' classification to avoid any publicity of which new business sectors are to be subject to the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services) treaty."

The WTO has already ruled that the United State’s current legislation violates the rights of other nations with an interest in the U.S. online casinos gambling industry. And now that the European Commission is investigating the U.S. attempts to amend trade commitments in the GATS treaty, many politicians are wondering just what has already been promised in efforts to resolve this online gambling dispute. A key point behind Congressman DeFazio’s push for the release of trade concessions lies in the fact that the US Trade Representatives did not pass the concessions through Congress for approval.
