WTO rules some EU import duties illegal

The World Trade Organisation has ruled that EU import duties on certain gadgets imported from the US, Japan and Taiwan are illegal.

An agreement reached in 1996 removed import tariffs on 72 different products in order to boost trade in technology goods. The European Union later moved some of these items into a taxable bracket because it now regards them as consumer items rather than high-technology devices. This decision led to import duties of between six and 14 per cent being levied on set-top boxes, multi-function printers and flatscreen displays, with VAT then applied on top.

the decision is due to be officially published in August. After publication the EU has 60 days to appeal the decision.

Valve Apologises for Wrongful Modern Warfare 2 Bans

28 Jul Quotes


3

"The problem was that Steam would fail a signature check between the disk version of a DLL and a latent memory version. This was caused by a combination of conditions occurring while Steam was updating the disk image of a game. This wasn't a game-specific mistake. Steam allows us to manage and reverse these erroneous bans (about 12,000 erroneous bans over two weeks)."

"We have reversed the ban, restoring your access to the game. In addition, we have given you a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to give as a gift on Steam, plus a free copy for yourself if you didn't already own the game."
-- Gabe Newell, Valve President

Valve apologise for wrongfully banning innocent players of Modern Warfare 2 over the last week, which has been a major uproar in the forums. This is also the first time valve have admitted a problem with the valve anti-cheat system and the first time they have reversed account flags that stop people who have been accused of cheating from playing online.
