To extend nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of Romania for 3 
                                 years.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT TO THE PRODUCTS OF 
              ROMANIA.

    Subject to section 2, during the 3-year period beginning on July 4, 
1993, nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-nation treatment) 
applies to the products of Romania.

SEC. 2. REQUIREMENT FOR BILATERAL COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT.

    The nondiscriminatory treatment provided for the products of any 
country listed in section 1 shall apply only during such time within 
the 3-year period referred to in that section that there is in effect 
between the United States of America and that country a commercial 
agreement that meets the requirements set forth in section 405(b) of 
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2435(b)); except that, notwithstanding 
the provisions of paragraph (1) of such section, the renewal of the 
commercial agreement after the date of the enactment of this Act shall 
be for a period ending not sooner than July 4, 1997.

SEC. 3. COORDINATION WITH JACKSON-VANIK AMENDMENT.

    During the 3-year period referred to in section 1, the provisions 
of sections 401, 402, 404, 405 (a) and (c), and 407 of the Trade Act of 
1974 are suspended with respect to each country listed in section 1 
except to the extent necessary for the inclusion of that country within 
the appropriate waiver procedures of section 402(d) for purposes of 
extending nondiscriminatory treatment (if the President decides to 
recommend such extension) to the products of that country after July 3, 
1997.
