    SEC. 102. TRADE NEGOTIATING OBJECTIVES.
    (a) Overall Trade Negotiating Objectives.--The overall trade 
negotiating objectives of the United States for agreements subject to 
the provisions of section 103 are--
        (1) to obtain more open, equitable, and reciprocal market 
    access;
        (2) to obtain the reduction or elimination of barriers and 
    distortions that are directly related to trade and investment and 
    that decrease market opportunities for United States exports or 
    otherwise distort United States trade;
        (3) to further strengthen the system of international trade and 
    investment disciplines and procedures, including dispute 
    settlement;
        (4) to foster economic growth, raise living standards, enhance 
    the competitiveness of the United States, promote full employment 
    in the United States, and enhance the global economy;
        (5) to ensure that trade and environmental policies are 
    mutually supportive and to seek to protect and preserve the 
    environment and enhance the international means of doing so, while 
    optimizing the use of the world's resources;
        (6) to promote respect for worker rights and the rights of 
    children consistent with core labor standards of the ILO (as set 
    out in section 111(7)) and an understanding of the relationship 
    between trade and worker rights;
        (7) to seek provisions in trade agreements under which parties 
    to those agreements ensure that they do not weaken or reduce the 
    protections afforded in domestic environmental and labor laws as an 
    encouragement for trade;
        (8) to ensure that trade agreements afford small businesses 
    equal access to international markets, equitable trade benefits, 
    and expanded export market opportunities, and provide for the 
    reduction or elimination of trade and investment barriers that 
    disproportionately impact small businesses;
        (9) to promote universal ratification and full compliance with 
    ILO Convention No. 182 Concerning the Prohibition and Immediate 
    Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor;
        (10) to ensure that trade agreements reflect and facilitate the 
    increasingly interrelated, multi-sectoral nature of trade and 
    investment activity;
        (11) to recognize the growing significance of the Internet as a 
    trading platform in international commerce;
        (12) to take into account other legitimate United States 
    domestic objectives, including, but not limited to, the protection 
    of legitimate health or safety, essential security, and consumer 
    interests and the law and regulations related thereto; and
        (13) to take into account conditions relating to religious 
    freedom of any party to negotiations for a trade agreement with the 
    United States.
    (b) Principal Trade Negotiating Objectives.--
        (1) Trade in goods.--The principal negotiating objectives of 
    the United States regarding trade in goods are--
            (A) to expand competitive market opportunities for exports 
        of goods from the United States and to obtain fairer and more 
        open conditions of trade, including through the utilization of 
        global value chains, by reducing or eliminating tariff and 
        nontariff barriers and policies and practices of foreign 
        governments directly related to trade that decrease market 
        opportunities for United States exports or otherwise distort 
        United States trade; and
            (B) to obtain reciprocal tariff and nontariff barrier 
        elimination agreements, including with respect to those tariff 
        categories covered in section 111(b) of the Uruguay Round 
        Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3521(b)).
        (2) Trade in services.--(A) The principal negotiating objective 
    of the United States regarding trade in services is to expand 
    competitive market opportunities for United States services and to 
    obtain fairer and more open conditions of trade, including through 
    utilization of global value chains, by reducing or eliminating 
    barriers to international trade in services, such as regulatory and 
    other barriers that deny national treatment and market access or 
    unreasonably restrict the establishment or operations of service 
    suppliers.
        (B) Recognizing that expansion of trade in services generates 
    benefits for all sectors of the economy and facilitates trade, the 
    objective described in subparagraph (A) should be pursued through 
    all means, including through a plurilateral agreement with those 
    countries willing and able to undertake high standard services 
    commitments for both existing and new services.
        (3) Trade in agriculture.--The principal negotiating objective 
    of the United States with respect to agriculture is to obtain 
    competitive opportunities for United States exports of agricultural 
    commodities in foreign markets substantially equivalent to the 
    competitive opportunities afforded foreign exports in United States 
    markets and to achieve fairer and more open conditions of trade in 
    bulk, specialty crop, and value added commodities by--
            (A) securing more open and equitable market access through 
        robust rules on sanitary and phytosanitary measures that--
                (i) encourage the adoption of international standards 
            and require a science-based justification be provided for a 
            sanitary or phytosanitary measure if the measure is more 
            restrictive than the applicable international standard;
                (ii) improve regulatory coherence, promote the use of 
            systems-based approaches, and appropriately recognize the 
            equivalence of health and safety protection systems of 
            exporting countries;
                (iii) require that measures are transparently developed 
            and implemented, are based on risk assessments that take 
            into account relevant international guidelines and 
            scientific data, and are not more restrictive on trade than 
            necessary to meet the intended purpose; and
                (iv) improve import check processes, including testing 
            methodologies and procedures, and certification 
            requirements,
        while recognizing that countries may put in place measures to 
        protect human, animal, or plant life or health in a manner 
        consistent with their international obligations, including the 
        WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary 
        Measures (referred to in section 101(d)(3) of the Uruguay Round 
        Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3511(d)(3)));
            (B) reducing or eliminating, by a date certain, tariffs or 
        other charges that decrease market opportunities for United 
        States exports--
                (i) giving priority to those products that are subject 
            to significantly higher tariffs or subsidy regimes of major 
            producing countries; and
                (ii) providing reasonable adjustment periods for United 
            States import sensitive products, in close consultation 
            with Congress on such products before initiating tariff 
            reduction negotiations;
            (C) reducing tariffs to levels that are the same as or 
        lower than those in the United States;
            (D) reducing or eliminating subsidies that decrease market 
        opportunities for United States exports or unfairly distort 
        agriculture markets to the detriment of the United States;
            (E) allowing the preservation of programs that support 
        family farms and rural communities but do not distort trade;
            (F) developing disciplines for domestic support programs, 
        so that production that is in excess of domestic food security 
        needs is sold at world prices;
            (G) eliminating government policies that create price 
        depressing surpluses;
            (H) eliminating state trading enterprises whenever 
        possible;
            (I) developing, strengthening, and clarifying rules to 
        eliminate practices that unfairly decrease United States market 
        access opportunities or distort agricultural markets to the 
        detriment of the United States, and ensuring that such rules 
        are subject to efficient, timely, and effective dispute 
        settlement, including--
                (i) unfair or trade distorting activities of state 
            trading enterprises and other administrative mechanisms, 
            with emphasis on requiring price transparency in the 
            operation of state trading enterprises and such other 
            mechanisms in order to end cross subsidization, price 
            discrimination, and price undercutting;
                (ii) unjustified trade restrictions or commercial 
            requirements, such as labeling, that affect new 
            technologies, including biotechnology;
                (iii) unjustified sanitary or phytosanitary 
            restrictions, including restrictions not based on 
            scientific principles in contravention of obligations in 
            the Uruguay Round Agreements or bilateral or regional trade 
            agreements;
                (iv) other unjustified technical barriers to trade; and
                (v) restrictive rules in the administration of tariff 
            rate quotas;
            (J) eliminating practices that adversely affect trade in 
        perishable or cyclical products, while improving import relief 
        mechanisms to recognize the unique characteristics of 
        perishable and cyclical agriculture;
            (K) ensuring that import relief mechanisms for perishable 
        and cyclical agriculture are as accessible and timely to 
        growers in the United States as those mechanisms that are used 
        by other countries;
            (L) taking into account whether a party to the negotiations 
        has failed to adhere to the provisions of already existing 
        trade agreements with the United States or has circumvented 
        obligations under those agreements;
            (M) taking into account whether a product is subject to 
        market distortions by reason of a failure of a major producing 
        country to adhere to the provisions of already existing trade 
        agreements with the United States or by the circumvention by 
        that country of its obligations under those agreements;
            (N) otherwise ensuring that countries that accede to the 
        World Trade Organization have made meaningful market 
        liberalization commitments in agriculture;
            (O) taking into account the impact that agreements covering 
        agriculture to which the United States is a party have on the 
        United States agricultural industry;
            (P) maintaining bona fide food assistance programs, market 
        development programs, and export credit programs;
            (Q) seeking to secure the broadest market access possible 
        in multilateral, regional, and bilateral negotiations, 
        recognizing the effect that simultaneous sets of negotiations 
        may have on United States import sensitive commodities 
        (including those subject to tariff rate quotas);
            (R) seeking to develop an international consensus on the 
        treatment of seasonal or perishable agricultural products in 
        investigations relating to dumping and safeguards and in any 
        other relevant area;
            (S) seeking to establish the common base year for 
        calculating the Aggregated Measurement of Support (as defined 
        in the Agreement on Agriculture) as the end of each country's 
        Uruguay Round implementation period, as reported in each 
        country's Uruguay Round market access schedule;
            (T) ensuring transparency in the administration of tariff 
        rate quotas through multilateral, plurilateral, and bilateral 
        negotiations; and
            (U) eliminating and preventing the undermining of market 
        access for United States products through improper use of a 
        country's system for protecting or recognizing geographical 
        indications, including failing to ensure transparency and 
        procedural fairness and protecting generic terms.
        (4) Foreign investment.--Recognizing that United States law on 
    the whole provides a high level of protection for investment, 
    consistent with or greater than the level required by international 
    law, the principal negotiating objectives of the United States 
    regarding foreign investment are to reduce or eliminate artificial 
    or trade distorting barriers to foreign investment, while ensuring 
    that foreign investors in the United States are not accorded 
    greater substantive rights with respect to investment protections 
    than United States investors in the United States, and to secure 
    for investors important rights comparable to those that would be 
    available under United States legal principles and practice, by--
            (A) reducing or eliminating exceptions to the principle of 
        national treatment;
            (B) freeing the transfer of funds relating to investments;
            (C) reducing or eliminating performance requirements, 
        forced technology transfers, and other unreasonable barriers to 
        the establishment and operation of investments;

        compensation for expropriation, consistent with United States 
        legal principles and practice;
            (E) seeking to establish standards for fair and equitable 
        treatment, consistent with United States legal principles and 
        practice, including the principle of due process;
            (F) providing meaningful procedures for resolving 
        investment disputes;
            (G) seeking to improve mechanisms used to resolve disputes 
        between an investor and a government through--
                (i) mechanisms to eliminate frivolous claims and to 
            deter the filing of frivolous claims;
                (ii) procedures to ensure the efficient selection of 
            arbitrators and the expeditious disposition of claims;
                (iii) procedures to enhance opportunities for public 
            input into the formulation of government positions; and
                (iv) providing for an appellate body or similar 
            mechanism to provide coherence to the interpretations of 
            investment provisions in trade agreements; and
            (H) ensuring the fullest measure of transparency in the 
        dispute settlement mechanism, to the extent consistent with the 
        need to protect information that is classified or business 
        confidential, by--
                (i) ensuring that all requests for dispute settlement 
            are promptly made public;
                (ii) ensuring that--

                    (I) all proceedings, submissions, findings, and 
                decisions are promptly made public; and
                    (II) all hearings are open to the public; and

                (iii) establishing a mechanism for acceptance of amicus 
            curiae submissions from businesses, unions, and 
            nongovernmental organizations.
        (5) Intellectual property.--The principal negotiating 
    objectives of the United States regarding trade-related 
    intellectual property are--
            (A) to further promote adequate and effective protection of 
        intellectual property rights, including through--
                (i)(I) ensuring accelerated and full implementation of 
            the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual 
            Property Rights referred to in section 101(d)(15) of the 
            Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3511(d)(15)), 
            particularly with respect to meeting enforcement 
            obligations under that agreement; and
                (II) ensuring that the provisions of any trade 
            agreement governing intellectual property rights that is 
            entered into by the United States reflect a standard of 
            protection similar to that found in United States law;
                (ii) providing strong protection for new and emerging 
            technologies and new methods of transmitting and 
            distributing products embodying intellectual property, 
            including in a manner that facilitates legitimate digital 
            trade;
                (iii) preventing or eliminating discrimination with 
            respect to matters affecting the availability, acquisition, 
            scope, maintenance, use, and enforcement of intellectual 
            property rights;
                (iv) ensuring that standards of protection and 
            enforcement keep pace with technological developments, and 
            in particular ensuring that rightholders have the legal and 
            technological means to control the use of their works 
            through the Internet and other global communication media, 
            and to prevent the unauthorized use of their works;
                (v) providing strong enforcement of intellectual 
            property rights, including through accessible, expeditious, 
            and effective civil, administrative, and criminal 
            enforcement mechanisms; and
                (vi) preventing or eliminating government involvement 
            in the violation of intellectual property rights, including 
            cyber theft and piracy;
            (B) to secure fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory market 
        access opportunities for United States persons that rely upon 
        intellectual property protection; and
            (C) to respect the Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and 
        Public Health, adopted by the World Trade Organization at the 
        Fourth Ministerial Conference at Doha, Qatar on November 14, 
        2001, and to ensure that trade agreements foster innovation and 
        promote access to medicines.
        (6) Digital trade in goods and services and cross-border data 
    flows.--The principal negotiating objectives of the United States 
    with respect to digital trade in goods and services, as well as 
    cross-border data flows, are--
            (A) to ensure that current obligations, rules, disciplines, 
        and commitments under the World Trade Organization and 
        bilateral and regional trade agreements apply to digital trade 
        in goods and services and to cross-border data flows;
            (B) to ensure that--
                (i) electronically delivered goods and services receive 
            no less favorable treatment under trade rules and 
            commitments than like products delivered in physical form; 
            and
                (ii) the classification of such goods and services 
            ensures the most liberal trade treatment possible, fully 
            encompassing both existing and new trade;
            (C) to ensure that governments refrain from implementing 
        trade-related measures that impede digital trade in goods and 
        services, restrict cross-border data flows, or require local 
        storage or processing of data;
            (D) with respect to subparagraphs (A) through (C), where 
        legitimate policy objectives require domestic regulations that 
        affect digital trade in goods and services or cross-border data 
        flows, to obtain commitments that any such regulations are the 
        least restrictive on trade, nondiscriminatory, and transparent, 
        and promote an open market environment; and
            (E) to extend the moratorium of the World Trade 
        Organization on duties on electronic transmissions.
        (7) Regulatory practices.--The principal negotiating objectives 
    of the United States regarding the use of government regulation or 
    other practices to reduce market access for United States goods, 
    services, and investments are--
            (A) to achieve increased transparency and opportunity for 
        the participation of affected parties in the development of 
        regulations;
            (B) to require that proposed regulations be based on sound 
        science, cost benefit analysis, risk assessment, or other 
        objective evidence;
            (C) to establish consultative mechanisms and seek other 
        commitments, as appropriate, to improve regulatory practices 
        and promote increased regulatory coherence, including through--
                (i) transparency in developing guidelines, rules, 
            regulations, and laws for government procurement and other 
            regulatory regimes;
                (ii) the elimination of redundancies in testing and

                (iii) early consultations on significant regulations;
                (iv) the use of impact assessments;
                (v) the periodic review of existing regulatory 
            measures; and
                (vi) the application of good regulatory practices;
            (D) to seek greater openness, transparency, and convergence 
        of standards development processes, and enhance cooperation on 
        standards issues globally;
            (E) to promote regulatory compatibility through 
        harmonization, equivalence, or mutual recognition of different 
        regulations and standards and to encourage the use of 
        international and interoperable standards, as appropriate;
            (F) to achieve the elimination of government measures such 
        as price controls and reference pricing which deny full market 
        access for United States products;
            (G) to ensure that government regulatory reimbursement 
        regimes are transparent, provide procedural fairness, are 
        nondiscriminatory, and provide full market access for United 
        States products; and
            (H) to ensure that foreign governments--
                (i) demonstrate that the collection of undisclosed 
            proprietary information is limited to that necessary to 
            satisfy a legitimate and justifiable regulatory interest; 
            and
                (ii) protect such information against disclosure, 
            except in exceptional circumstances to protect the public, 
            or where such information is effectively protected against 
            unfair competition.
        (8) State-owned and state-controlled enterprises.--The 
    principal negotiating objective of the United States regarding 
    competition by state-owned and state-controlled enterprises is to 
    seek commitments that--
            (A) eliminate or prevent trade distortions and unfair 
        competition favoring state-owned and state-controlled 
        enterprises to the extent of their engagement in commercial 
        activity, and
            (B) ensure that such engagement is based solely on 
        commercial considerations,
    in particular through disciplines that eliminate or prevent 
    discrimination and market-distorting subsidies and that promote 
    transparency.
        (9) Localization barriers to trade.--The principal negotiating 
    objective of the United States with respect to localization 
    barriers is to eliminate and prevent measures that require United 
    States producers and service providers to locate facilities, 
    intellectual property, or other assets in a country as a market 
    access or investment condition, including indigenous innovation 
    measures.
        (10) Labor and the environment.--The principal negotiating 
    objectives of the United States with respect to labor and the 
    environment are--
            (A) to ensure that a party to a trade agreement with the 
        United States--
                (i) adopts and maintains measures implementing 
            internationally recognized core labor standards (as defined 
            in section 111(17)) and its obligations under common 
            multilateral environmental agreements (as defined in 
            section 111(6)),
                (ii) does not waive or otherwise derogate from, or 
            offer to waive or otherwise derogate from--

                    (I) its statutes or regulations implementing 
                internationally recognized core labor standards (as 
                defined in section 111(17)), in a manner affecting 
                trade or investment between the United States and that 
                party, where the waiver or derogation would be 
                inconsistent with one or more such standards, or
                    (II) its environmental laws in a manner that 
                weakens or reduces the protections afforded in those 
                laws and in a manner affecting trade or investment 
                between the United States and that party, except as 
                provided in its law and provided not inconsistent with 
                its obligations under common multilateral environmental 
                agreements (as defined in section 111(6)) or other 
                provisions of the trade agreement specifically agreed 
                upon, and

                (iii) does not fail to effectively enforce its 
            environmental or labor laws, through a sustained or 
            recurring course of action or inaction,
        in a manner affecting trade or investment between the United 
        States and that party after entry into force of a trade 
        agreement between those countries;
            (B) to recognize that--
                (i) with respect to environment, parties to a trade 
            agreement retain the right to exercise prosecutorial 
            discretion and to make decisions regarding the allocation 
            of enforcement resources with respect to other 
            environmental laws determined to have higher priorities, 
            and a party is effectively enforcing its laws if a course 
            of action or inaction reflects a reasonable, bona fide 
            exercise of such discretion, or results from a reasonable, 
            bona fide decision regarding the allocation of resources; 
            and
                (ii) with respect to labor, decisions regarding the 
            distribution of enforcement resources are not a reason for 
            not complying with a party's labor obligations; a party to 
            a trade agreement retains the right to reasonable exercise 
            of discretion and to make bona fide decisions regarding the 
            allocation of resources between labor enforcement 
            activities among core labor standards, provided the 
            exercise of such discretion and such decisions are not 
            inconsistent with its obligations;
            (C) to strengthen the capacity of United States trading 
        partners to promote respect for core labor standards (as 
        defined in section 111(7));
            (D) to strengthen the capacity of United States trading 
        partners to protect the environment through the promotion of 
        sustainable development;
            (E) to reduce or eliminate government practices or policies 
        that unduly threaten sustainable development;
            (F) to seek market access, through the elimination of 
        tariffs and nontariff barriers, for United States environmental 
        technologies, goods, and services;
            (G) to ensure that labor, environmental, health, or safety 
        policies and practices of the parties to trade agreements with 
        the United States do not arbitrarily or unjustifiably 
        discriminate against United States exports or serve as 
        disguised barriers to trade;
            (H) to ensure that enforceable labor and environment 
        obligations are subject to the same dispute settlement and 
        remedies as other enforceable obligations under the agreement; 
        and
            (I) to ensure that a trade agreement is not construed to 
        empower a party's authorities to undertake labor or 
        environmental law enforcement activities in the territory of 
        the United States.
        (11) Currency.--The principal negotiating objective of the 
    United States with respect to currency practices is that parties to 
    a trade agreement with the United States avoid manipulating 
    exchange rates in order to prevent effective balance of payments 
    adjustment or to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other 
    parties to the agreement, such as through cooperative mechanisms, 
    enforceable rules, reporting, monitoring, transparency, or other 
    means, as appropriate.
        (12) Foreign currency manipulation.--The principal negotiating 
    objective of the United States with respect to unfair currency 
    practices is to seek to establish accountability through 
    enforceable rules, transparency, reporting, monitoring, cooperative 
    mechanisms, or other means to address exchange rate manipulation 
    involving protracted large scale intervention in one direction in 
    the exchange markets and a persistently undervalued foreign 
    exchange rate to gain an unfair competitive advantage in trade over 
    other parties to a trade agreement, consistent with existing 
    obligations of the United States as a member of the International 
    Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization.
        (13) WTO and multilateral trade agreements.--Recognizing that 
    the World Trade Organization is the foundation of the global 
    trading system, the principal negotiating objectives of the United 
    States regarding the World Trade Organization, the Uruguay Round 
    Agreements, and other multilateral and plurilateral trade 
    agreements are--
            (A) to achieve full implementation and extend the coverage 
        of the World Trade Organization and multilateral and 
        plurilateral agreements to products, sectors, and conditions of 
        trade not adequately covered;
            (B) to expand country participation in and enhancement of 
        the Information Technology Agreement, the Government 
        Procurement Agreement, and other plurilateral trade agreements 
        of the World Trade Organization;
            (C) to expand competitive market opportunities for United 
        States exports and to obtain fairer and more open conditions of 
        trade, including through utilization of global value chains, 
        through the negotiation of new WTO multilateral and 
        plurilateral trade agreements, such as an agreement on trade 
        facilitation;
            (D) to ensure that regional trade agreements to which the 
        United States is not a party fully achieve the high standards 
        of, and comply with, WTO disciplines, including Article XXIV of 
        GATT 1994, Article V and V bis of the General Agreement on 
        Trade in Services, and the Enabling Clause, including through 
        meaningful WTO review of such regional trade agreements;
            (E) to enhance compliance by WTO members with their 
        obligations as WTO members through active participation in the 
        bodies of the World Trade Organization by the United States and 
        all other WTO members, including in the trade policy review 
        mechanism and the committee system of the World Trade 
        Organization, and by working to increase the effectiveness of 
        such bodies; and
            (F) to encourage greater cooperation between the World 
        Trade Organization and other international organizations.
        (14) Trade institution transparency.--The principal negotiating 
    objective of the United States with respect to transparency is to 
    obtain wider and broader application of the principle of 
    transparency in the World Trade Organization, entities established 
    under bilateral and regional trade agreements, and other 
    international trade fora through seeking--
            (A) timely public access to information regarding trade 
        issues and the activities of such institutions;
            (B) openness by ensuring public access to appropriate 
        meetings, proceedings, and submissions, including with regard 
        to trade and investment dispute settlement; and
            (C) public access to all notifications and supporting 
        documentation submitted by WTO members.
        (15) Anti-corruption.--The principal negotiating objectives of 
    the United States with respect to the use of money or other things 
    of value to influence acts, decisions, or omissions of foreign 
    governments or officials or to secure any improper advantage in a 
    manner affecting trade are--
            (A) to obtain high standards and effective domestic 
        enforcement mechanisms applicable to persons from all countries 
        participating in the applicable trade agreement that prohibit 
        such attempts to influence acts, decisions, or omissions of 
        foreign governments or officials or to secure any such improper 
        advantage;
            (B) to ensure that such standards level the playing field 
        for United States persons in international trade and 
        investment; and
            (C) to seek commitments to work jointly to encourage and 
        support anti-corruption and anti-bribery initiatives in 
        international trade fora, including through the Convention on 
        Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International 
        Business Transactions of the Organization for Economic 
        Cooperation and Development, done at Paris December 17, 1997 
        (commonly known as the ``OECD Anti-Bribery Convention'').
        (16) Dispute settlement and enforcement.--The principal 
    negotiating objectives of the United States with respect to dispute 
    settlement and enforcement of trade agreements are--
            (A) to seek provisions in trade agreements providing for 
        resolution of disputes between governments under those trade 
        agreements in an effective, timely, transparent, equitable, and 
        reasoned manner, requiring determinations based on facts and 
        the principles of the agreements, with the goal of increasing 
        compliance with the agreements;
            (B) to seek to strengthen the capacity of the Trade Policy 
        Review Mechanism of the World Trade Organization to review 
        compliance with commitments;
            (C) to seek adherence by panels convened under the Dispute 
        Settlement Understanding and by the Appellate Body to--
                (i) the mandate of those panels and the Appellate Body 
            to apply the WTO Agreement as written, without adding to or 
            diminishing rights and obligations under the Agreement; and
                (ii) the standard of review applicable under the 
            Uruguay Round Agreement involved in the dispute, including 
            greater deference, where appropriate, to the fact finding 
            and technical expertise of national investigating 
            authorities;
            (D) to seek provisions encouraging the early identification 
        and settlement of disputes through consultation;
            (E) to seek provisions to encourage the provision of trade-
        expanding compensation if a party to a dispute under the 
        agreement does not come into compliance with its obligations 
        under the agreement;
            (F) to seek provisions to impose a penalty upon a party to 
        a dispute under the agreement that--
                (i) encourages compliance with the obligations of the 
            agreement;
                (ii) is appropriate to the parties, nature, subject 
            matter, and scope of the violation; and
                (iii) has the aim of not adversely affecting parties or 
            interests not party to the dispute while maintaining the 
            effectiveness of the enforcement mechanism; and
            (G) to seek provisions that treat United States principal 
        negotiating objectives equally with respect to--
                (i) the ability to resort to dispute settlement under 
            the applicable agreement;
                (ii) the availability of equivalent dispute settlement 
            procedures; and
                (iii) the availability of equivalent remedies.
        (17) Trade remedy laws.--The principal negotiating objectives 
    of the United States with respect to trade remedy laws are--
            (A) to preserve the ability of the United States to enforce 
        rigorously its trade laws, including the antidumping, 
        countervailing duty, and safeguard laws, and avoid agreements 
        that lessen the effectiveness of domestic and international 
        disciplines on unfair trade, especially dumping and subsidies, 
        or that lessen the effectiveness of domestic and international 
        safeguard provisions, in order to ensure that United States 
        workers, agricultural producers, and firms can compete fully on 
        fair terms and enjoy the benefits of reciprocal trade 
        concessions; and
            (B) to address and remedy market distortions that lead to 
        dumping and subsidization, including overcapacity, 
        cartelization, and market access barriers.
        (18) Border taxes.--The principal negotiating objective of the 
    United States regarding border taxes is to obtain a revision of the 
    rules of the World Trade Organization with respect to the treatment 
    of border adjustments for internal taxes to redress the 
    disadvantage to countries relying primarily on direct taxes for 
    revenue rather than indirect taxes.
        (19) Textile negotiations.--The principal negotiating 
    objectives of the United States with respect to trade in textiles 
    and apparel articles are to obtain competitive opportunities for 
    United States exports of textiles and apparel in foreign markets 
    substantially equivalent to the competitive opportunities afforded 
    foreign exports in United States markets and to achieve fairer and 
    more open conditions of trade in textiles and apparel.
        (20) Commercial partnerships.--
            (A) In general.--With respect to an agreement that is 
        proposed to be entered into with the Transatlantic Trade and 
        Investment Partnership countries and to which section 103(b) 
        will apply, the principal negotiating objectives of the United 
        States regarding commercial partnerships are the following:
                (i) To discourage actions by potential trading partners 
            that directly or indirectly prejudice or otherwise 
            discourage commercial activity solely between the United 
            States and Israel.
                (ii) To discourage politically motivated actions to 
            boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel and to seek the 
            elimination of politically motivated nontariff barriers on 
            Israeli goods, services, or other commerce imposed on the 
            State of Israel.
                (iii) To seek the elimination of state-sponsored 
            unsanctioned foreign boycotts against Israel or compliance 
            with the Arab League Boycott of Israel by prospective 
            trading partners.
            (B) Definition.--In this paragraph, the term ``actions to 
        boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel'' means actions by 
        states, non-member states of the United Nations, international 
        organizations, or affiliated agencies of international 
        organizations that are politically motivated and are intended 
        to penalize or otherwise limit commercial relations 
        specifically with Israel or persons doing business in Israel or 
        in Israeli-controlled territories.
        (21) Good governance, transparency, the effective operation of 
    legal regimes, and the rule of law of trading partners.--The 
    principal negotiating objectives of the United States with respect 
    to ensuring implementation of trade commitments and obligations by 
    strengthening good governance, transparency, the effective 
    operation of legal regimes and the rule of law of trading partners 
    of the United States is through capacity building and other 
    appropriate means, which are important parts of the broader effort 
    to create more open democratic societies and to promote respect for 
    internationally recognized human rights.
    (c) Capacity Building and Other Priorities.--In order to address 
and maintain United States competitiveness in the global economy, the 
President shall--
        (1) direct the heads of relevant Federal agencies--
            (A) to work to strengthen the capacity of United States 
        trading partners to carry out obligations under trade 
        agreements by consulting with any country seeking a trade 
        agreement with the United States concerning that country's laws 
        relating to customs and trade facilitation, sanitary and 
        phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, 
        intellectual property rights, labor, and the environment; and
            (B) to provide technical assistance to that country if 
        needed;
        (2) seek to establish consultative mechanisms among parties to 
    trade agreements to strengthen the capacity of United States 
    trading partners to develop and implement standards for the 
    protection of the environment and human health based on sound 
    science;
        (3) promote consideration of multilateral environmental 
    agreements and consult with parties to such agreements regarding 
    the consistency of any such agreement that includes trade measures 
    with existing environmental exceptions under Article XX of GATT 
    1994; and
        (4) submit to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
    Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate an 
    annual report on capacity-building activities undertaken in 
    connection with trade agreements negotiated or being negotiated 
    pursuant to this title.
    SEC. 103. TRADE AGREEMENTS AUTHORITY.
    (a) Agreements Regarding Tariff Barriers.--
        (1) In general.--Whenever the President determines that one or 
    more existing duties or other import restrictions of any foreign 
    country or the United States are unduly burdening and restricting 
    the foreign trade of the United States and that the purposes, 
    policies, priorities, and objectives of this title will be promoted 
    thereby, the President--
            (A) may enter into trade agreements with foreign countries 
        before--
                (i) July 1, 2018; or
                (ii) July 1, 2021, if trade authorities procedures are 
            extended under subsection (c); and
            (B) may, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), proclaim--
                (i) such modification or continuance of any existing 
            duty,
                (ii) such continuance of existing duty free or excise 
            treatment, or

        carry out any such trade agreement.
    Substantial modifications to, or substantial additional provisions 
    of, a trade agreement entered into after July 1, 2018, or July 1, 
    2021, if trade authorities procedures are extended under subsection 
    (c), shall not be eligible for approval under this title.
        (2) Notification.--The President shall notify Congress of the 
    President's intention to enter into an agreement under this 
    subsection.
        (3) Limitations.--No proclamation may be made under paragraph 
    (1) that--
            (A) reduces any rate of duty (other than a rate of duty

        enactment of this Act) to a rate of duty which is less than 50 
        percent of the rate of such duty that applies on such date of 
        enactment;
            (B) reduces the rate of duty below that applicable under 
        the Uruguay Round Agreements or a successor agreement, on any 
        import sensitive agricultural product; or

        on the date of the enactment of this Act.
        (4) Aggregate reduction; exemption from staging.--
            (A) Aggregate reduction.--Except as provided in 
        subparagraph (B), the aggregate reduction in the rate of duty 
        on any article which is in effect on any day pursuant to a 
        trade agreement entered into under paragraph (1) shall not 
        exceed the aggregate reduction which would have been in effect 
        on such day if--
                (i) a reduction of 3 percent ad valorem or a reduction 
            of \1/10\ of the total reduction, whichever is greater, had 
            taken effect on the effective date of the first reduction 
            proclaimed under paragraph (1) to carry out such agreement 
            with respect to such article; and
                (ii) a reduction equal to the amount applicable under 
            clause (i) had taken effect at 1-year intervals after the 
            effective date of such first reduction.

        subparagraph (A) with respect to a duty reduction that is 
        proclaimed under paragraph (1) for an article of a kind that is 
        not produced in the United States. The United States 
        International Trade Commission shall advise the President of 
        the identity of articles that may be exempted from staging

            tariff reductions based on the conclusions reached in the 
            assessment, and how all applicable negotiating objectives 
            will be met.

            Agreements, for which the rate of duty was reduced on 
            January 1, 1995, to a rate which was not less than 97.5 
            percent of the rate of duty that applied to such article on

                tariff reduction on the United States industry 
                producing the product concerned;
                    (bb) whether the products so identified face

                policies, and practices on United States producers of

            economy as a whole; and

            (III), notify the Committee on Ways and Means and the
