“We have never supported the argument that ARR should be adopted by all countries to create a level playing field. As a previous US member said when the EU directive was being discussed, just because Europe is shooting itself in the foot, why should other countries?”
Erika Bochereau, secretary general of CINOA
“The idea of a global treaty on ARR is very much at a preliminary stage. For such a global treaty on ARR to have the impact its proponents want, it would require countries such as the US, UK, China and Switzerland to agree to it and, at the moment, it is doubtful that they would wish to do so.”
