SEC. 1102. REPORTS ON MARKET ACCESS.

    (a) Annual Reports.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall 
submit to the Congress a report with respect to those countries 
selected by the Secretary in which goods or services produced or 
originating in the United States, that would otherwise be competitive 
in those countries, do not have market access. Each report shall 
contain the following with respect to each such country:
            (1) Assessment of potential market access.--An assessment 
        of the opportunities that would, but for the lack of market 
        access, be available in the market in that country, for goods 
        and services produced or originating in the United States in 
        those sectors selected by the Secretary. In making such 
        assessment, the Secretary shall consider the competitive 
        position of such goods and services in similarly developed 
        markets in other countries. Such assessment shall specify the 
        time periods within which such market access opportunities 
        should reasonably be expected to be obtained.
            (2) Criteria for measuring market access.--Objective 
        criteria for measuring the extent to which those market access 
        opportunities described in paragraph (1) have been obtained. 
        The development of such objective criteria may include the use 
        of interim objective criteria to measure results on a periodic 
        basis, as appropriate.
            (3) Compliance with trade agreements.--An assessment of 
        whether, and to what extent, the country concerned has 
        materially complied with--
                    (A) agreements and understandings reached between 
                the United States and that country pursuant to section 
                1103, and
                    (B) existing trade agreements between the United 
                States and that country.
        Such assessment shall include specific information on the 
        extent to which United States suppliers have achieved 
        additional access to the market in the country concerned and 
        the extent to which that country has complied with other 
        commitments under such agreements and understandings.
    (b) Selection of Countries and Sectors.--
            (1) In general.--In selecting countries and sectors that 
        are to be the subject of a report under subsection (a), the 
        Secretary shall give priority to--
                    (A) any country with which the United States has a 
                trade deficit if access to the markets in that country 
                is likely to have significant potential to increase 
                exports of United States goods and services; and
                    (B) any country, and sectors therein, in which 
                access to the markets will result in significant 
                employment benefits for producers of United States 
                goods and services.
        The Secretary shall also give priority to sectors which 
        represent critical technologies, including those identified by 
        the National Critical Technologies Panel under section 603 of 
        the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and 
        Priorities Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6683).
            (2) First report.--The first report submitted under 
        subsection (a) shall include those countries with which the 
        United States has a substantial portion of its trade deficit.
            (3) Trade surplus countries.--The Secretary may include in 
        reports after the first report such countries as the Secretary 
        considers appropriate with which the United States has a trade 
        surplus but which are otherwise described in subsection (a) and 
        paragraph (1) of this subsection.
    (c) Other Sectors.--The Secretary shall include an assessment under 
subsection (a) of any country or sector for which the Trade 
Representative requests such assessment be made. In preparing any such 
request, the Trade Representative shall give priority to those barriers 
identified in the reports required by section 181(b) of the Trade Act 
of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2241(b)).
    (d) Information on Access by Foreign Suppliers.--The Secretary 
shall consult with the governments of foreign countries concerning 
access to the markets of any other country of goods and services 
produced or originating in those countries. At the request of the 
government of any such country so consulted, the Secretary may include 
in the reports required by subsection (a) information, with respect to 
that country, on such access.

SEC. 1103. NEGOTIATIONS TO ACHIEVE MARKET ACCESS.

    (a) Negotiating Authority.--The President is authorized to enter 
into agreements or other understandings with the government of any 
country for the purpose of obtaining the market access opportunities 
described in the reports of the Secretary under section 1102.
    (b) Determination of Priority of Negotiations.--Upon the submission 
by the Secretary of each report under section 1102, the Trade 
Representative shall determine--
            (1) for which countries and sectors identified in the 
        report the Trade Representative will pursue negotiations, 
        during the 6-month period following submission of the report, 
        for the purpose of concluding agreements or other 
        understandings described in subsection (a), and the timeframe 
        for pursuing negotiations on any other country or sector 
        identified in the report; and
            (2) for which countries and sectors identified in any 
        previous report of the Secretary under section 1102 the Trade 
        Representative will pursue negotiations, during the 6-month 
        period described in paragraph (1), in cases in which--
                    (A) negotiations were not previously pursued by the 
                Trade Representative, or
                    (B) negotiations that were pursued by the Trade 
                Representative did not result in the conclusion of an 
                agreement or understanding described in subsection (a) 
                during the preceding 6-month period, but are expected 
                to result in such an agreement or understanding during 
                the 6-month period described in paragraph (1).
For purposes of this title, negotiations by the Trade Representative 
with respect to a particular sector shall be for a period of not more 
than 12 months.
    (c) Semiannual Reports.--At the end of the 6-month period beginning 
on the date on which the Secretary's first report is submitted under 
section 1102(a), and every 6 months thereafter, the Trade 
Representative shall submit to the Congress a report containing the 
following:
            (1) Report where negotiations pursued in previous 6-month 
        period.--With respect to each country and sector on which 
        negotiations described in subsection (b) were pursued during 
        that 6-month period--
                    (A) a determination of whether such negotiations 
                have resulted in the conclusion of an agreement or 
                understanding intended to obtain the market access 
                opportunities described in the most recent applicable 
                report of the Secretary, and if not--
                            (i) whether such negotiations are 
                        continuing because they are expected to result 
                        in such an agreement or understanding during 
                        the succeeding 6-month period; or
                            (ii) whether such negotiations have 
                        terminated;
                    (B) in the case of a positive determination made

                submitted under this subsection, a determination of 
                whether the continuing negotiations have resulted in 
                the conclusion of an agreement or understanding 
                described in subparagraph (A) during that 6-month 
                period.
            (2) Report where negotiations not pursued.--With respect to 
        each country and sector on which negotiations described in 
        subsection (b) were not pursued during that 6-month period, a 
        determination of when such negotiations will be pursued.

SEC. 1104. MONITORING OF AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS.

    (a) In General.--For the purpose of making the assessments required 
by section 1102(a)(3), the Secretary shall monitor the compliance with 
each agreement or understanding reached between the United States and 
any country pursuant to section 1103, and with each existing trade 
agreement between the United States and any country that is the subject 
of a report under section 1102(a). In making each such assessment, the 
Secretary shall describe--
            (1) the extent to which market access for the country and 
        sectors covered by the agreement or understanding has been 
        achieved; and
            (2) the bilateral trade relationship with that country in 
        that sector.
In the case of agreements or understandings reached pursuant to section 
1103, the description under paragraph (1) shall be done on the basis of 
the objective criteria set forth in the applicable report under section 
1102(a)(2).
    (b) Treatment of Agreements and Understandings.--Any agreement or 
understanding reached pursuant to negotiations conducted under this 
title, and each existing trade agreement between the United States and 
a country that is the subject of a report under section 1102(a), shall 
be considered to be a trade agreement for purposes of section 301 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.

SEC. 1105. TRIGGERING OF SECTION 301 ACTIONS.

    (a) Failure To Conclude Agreements.--In any case in which the Trade 
Representative determines under subparagraph (A)(ii) or (B) of section 
1103(c)(1) that negotiations have not resulted in the conclusion of an 
agreement or understanding described in section 1103(a), each 
restriction on, or barrier or impediment to, access to the markets of 
the country concerned that was the subject of such negotiations shall, 
for purposes of title III of the Trade Act of 1974, be considered to be 
an act, policy, or practice determined under section 304 of that Act to 
be an act, policy, or practice that is unreasonable and discriminatory 
and burdens or restricts United States commerce. The Trade 
Representative shall determine what action to take under section 301(b) 
of that Act in response to such act, policy, or practice.
    (b) Noncompliance With Agreements or Understandings.--In any case 
in which the Secretary determines, in a report submitted under section 
1102(a), that a foreign country is not in material compliance with--
            (1) any agreement or understanding concluded pursuant to 
        negotiations conducted under section 1103, or
            (2) any existing trade agreement between the United States 
        and that country,
the Trade Representative shall determine what action to take under 
section 301(a) of the Trade Act of 1974. For purposes of section 301 of 
that Act, a determination of noncompliance described in the preceding 
sentence shall be treated as a determination made under section 304 of 
that Act.

SEC. 1106. EXPEDITED PROCEDURES FOR CERTAIN PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS.

    (a) Authority for Reciprocal Actions.--In any case in which--
            (1) section 1105 applies,
            (2) the President determines that reciprocal action should 
        be taken by the United States in response to--
                    (A) a restriction, barrier, or impediment referred 
                to in section 1105(a) with respect to access to the 
                market of a country, or
                    (B) noncompliance with an agreement, understanding, 
                or trade agreement referred to in section 1105(b),
        as the case may be,

        described in section 154(b) of the Trade Act of 1974) after--
                    (A) the determination of the Trade Representative 
                under subparagraph (A)(ii) or (B) of section 
                1103(c)(1), or
                    (B) the determination of the Secretary in the 
                applicable report under section 1102(a),
        as the case may be, submits to the Congress a draft of 
        implementing legislation with respect to the changes or

        taken in direct response to a restriction on,
        or barrier or impediment to, access to the market in another 
        country and is comparable or of equivalent effect to such 
        restriction, barrier, or impediment; and
            (2) the term ``implementing legislation'' means a bill of 
        either House of Congress which is introduced as provided in 
        subsection (c) and which contains provisions necessary to make

        of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

           TITLE IV--WTO DISPUTE SETTLEMENT REVIEW COMMISSION

SEC. 4101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``WTO Dispute Settlement Review 
Commission Act''.

SEC. 4102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States joined the World Trade Organization 
        as a founding member with the goal of creating an improved 
        global trading system.
            (2) The American people must receive assurances that United 
        States sovereignty will be protected, and United States 
        interests will be advanced, within the global trading system 
        which the WTO will oversee.
            (3) The survival of the new WTO requires the continuation 
        of both trade liberalization and the ability to respond 
        effectively to unfair or otherwise harmful trade practices.
            (4) United States support for the WTO depends upon 
        obtaining mutual trade benefits through the openness of foreign 
        markets and the maintenance of effective United States and WTO 
        remedies against unfair or otherwise harmful trade practices.
            (5) Congress passed the Uruguay Round Agreements Act based 
        upon its understanding that effective trade remedies would not 
        be eroded. These remedies are essential to continue the process 
        of opening foreign markets to imports of goods and services and 
        to prevent harm to American industry and agriculture, 
        particularly through foreign dumping and subsidization.
            (6) The continued support of the Congress for the WTO is 
        dependent upon a WTO dispute settlement system that--
                    (A) operates in a fair and impartial manner;
                    (B) does not add to the obligations of or diminish 
                the rights of the United States under the Uruguay Round 
                Agreements; and
                    (C) does not exceed its authority, scope, or 
                established standard of review.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to provide for the 
establishment of the WTO Dispute Settlement Review Commission to 
achieve the goals described in subsection (a)(6).
