Re-read #469, This cannot possibly be any clearer, really: Annex 8.7, "Country-Specific Definitions," SPECIFICALLY STATES: "... in the case of the United States," the competent investigating authority is "the U.S. International Trade Commission."

"In the case of the United States." That means -- plainly; inarguably; irrefutably -- we are E-X-E-M-P-T from having to surrender our authority, re: trade, to the UN. Case closed. Period. End of sentence. Full stop.

You don't get to cite only the scariest-seeming, ooga-booga-portions of the document, whilst simultaneously squeezing your eyes shut and pretending with all your might that the other portions don't exist, given that they're lancing your argument like a boil. The words say what they say. Cope.
