Re: Suggested plan to leverage the WTO issue in the senate
Well if the panel rules that withdrawal of the commitment is an acceptable form of compliance, Antigua would be asking for the same type of compensation, IP, only for a lifetime. The value of the withdrawal is theoretically greater than the value of the past plus ongoing damages.
I don't know about the other countries that have filed, but I think that any panel, whether it is the remedy panel or the panel that rules on what just compensation would be against the withdrawal of the commitment, would be very sympathetic to Antigua's claims.
