Report to WTO quick !! Claim credit and gst vouchers


As an individual, you cannot directly report a trade dispute to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO dispute settlement system is designed for member governments only[1][5]. Private individuals, companies, or non-governmental organizations do not have direct access to the WTO dispute settlement process.

To formally report a trade dispute to the WTO, you would need to follow these steps:

1. Contact your government: Reach out to the relevant trade authority or department in your country that handles international trade issues.

2. Present your case: Provide detailed information about the trade dispute, including evidence of how it violates WTO agreements.

3. Government assessment: Your government will evaluate the merit of your complaint and decide whether to pursue it at the WTO level.

4. Official process: If your government decides to proceed, they will initiate the formal WTO dispute settlement process by requesting consultations with the other WTO member country involved[1][2].

Some countries have established formal procedures for individuals or companies to petition their governments to bring WTO disputes. For example, the United States has sections 301 et seq. of the Trade Act of 1974, and the European Union has the Trade Barriers Regulation[5].

Remember that the decision to initiate a WTO dispute ultimately rests with your government, as only WTO member countries can participate in the dispute settlement system.

Singapore: CCCS also represents Singapore in respect of competition matters in the international arena.

But silent on Singapore buying cheap Russian sanctioned crude oil and other oil products mixed them, and selling them to Australia.

[Scythian]

Singapore importing renewable energy from Australia..

Yes, Singapore is set to receive electricity supply from Australia through a project called the "Australia-Asia PowerLink" developed by Sun Cable, which will transmit solar power generated in Australia's Northern Territory to Singapore via an undersea cable, aiming to provide around 15% of Singapore's electricity needs with renewable energy.

JB Govt should shutdown the 3 large pipes water supplied to Singapore for 6 months as they are overdue for maintenance.

Giving Singaporeans cleaner drinking water

Oil is like water, hard to differentiate.

[Scythian]

Russian oil... damn.

Only Singapore does that

It's from Australian own oil field sending to Singapore refineries

They are differentiated by colours

That's how they able to track a ship having oil leakage

Your beloved India is a member of QUAD!

Yet they have no problem importing and re-exporting huge amount of Russian oil.

Why are you, as an Assmerican doggy, keeping quiet over this? 

[Scythian]

Singapore imposed selective sanctions on Russia involving two areas :
1) financial transactions and 
2)  military and weapons dealings 

Why oil and gas not included?
There's evidence that Singapore oil traders violated item 1). financial sanction and in fact, had effected payments for Russian oil and remittance received by Moscow.

In addition, why oil and gas should be banned too as it's a part of item 2) becoz it can be used by army vehicles, tanks, 155mm howitzer vehicles, ballistic missiles vehicles, and Russian navy boats and submarines .

It has proven that both were contravening the whole purpose of imposing sanctions.

It's commonsense

You are the emperor of Singapore, telling Sg what to do ah? 

[Scythian]

You are the emperor of Singapore, telling Sg what to do ah? 

In fact, Singapore imposed sanction on Russia must be comprehensive, in order to have maximum impact.

Otherwise Singapore is perceived by others as playing monkey Business

India like China did not openly imposed sanction on Russia while Singapore did.

And that makes Singapore more gutsy with a big bang but frizzled out to just a whisper..

[Scythian]

You abandoned Sg already ! 

I have LifeSG $200 has proven I m still liable to be recalled in short notice to defend Singapore.

Despite flouting Russian sanction, Singapore eludes the world spotlights 

Very smart people
