Consultations
Complaint by the United States.
On 14 May 1997, the US requested consultations with Ireland in respect Ireland’s alleged failure to grant copyright and neighbouring rights under its law.

On 9 January 1998, the United States requested the establishment of a panel.
Mutually agreed solution
On 6 November 2000, the parties informed the DSB that they had reached a mutually satisfactory solution.
