     SEC. 1002. SUGAR POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the tariff-rate quotas imposed on imports of sugar, 
     syrups and sugar-containing products under chapters 17, 18, 
     19, and 21 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
     States are an essential element of United States sugar 
     policy;
       (2) circumvention of the tariff-rate quotas will, if 
     unchecked, make it impossible to achieve the objectives of 
     United States sugar policy;
       (3) the tariff-rate quotas have been circumvented 
     frequently, defeating the purposes of United States sugar 
     policy and causing disruption to the United States market for 
     sweeteners, injury to domestic growers, refiners, and 
     processors of sugar, and adversely affecting legitimate 
     exporters of sugar to the United States;
       (4) it is essential to United States sugar policy that the 
     tariff-rate quotas be enforced and that deceptive practices 
     be prevented, including the importation of products with no 
     commercial use and failure to disclose all relevant 
     information to the United States Customs Service; and
       (5) unless action is taken to prevent circumvention, 
     circumvention of the tariff-rate quotas will continue and 
     will ultimately destroy United States sugar policy.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
     maintain the integrity of the tariff-rate quotas on sugars, 
     syrups, and sugar-containing products by stopping 
     circumvention as soon as it becomes apparent. It is also the 
     policy of the United States that products not used to 
     circumvent the tariff-rate quotas, such as molasses used for 
     animal feed or for rum, not be affected by any action taken 
     pursuant to this Act.
       (c) Identification of Imports.--
       (1) Identification.--Not later than 30 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, and on a regular basis thereafter, 
     the Secretary of Agriculture shall--
       (A) identify imports of articles that are circumventing 
     tariff-rate quotas on sugars, syrups, or sugar-containing 
     products imposed under chapter 17, 18, 19, or 21 of the 
     Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States; and
       (B) report to the President the articles found to be 
     circumventing the tariff-rate quotas.
       (2) Action by president.--Upon receiving the report from 
     the Secretary of Agriculture, the President shall, by 
     proclamation, include any article identified by the Secretary 
     in the appropriate tariff-rate quota provision of the 
     Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

            DIVISION B--BIPARTISAN TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY

                  TITLE XXI--TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY

     SEC. 2101. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the 
     ``Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The expansion of international trade is vital to the 
     national security of the United States. Trade is critical to 
     the economic growth and strength of the United States and to 
     its leadership in the world. Stable trading relationships 
     promote security and prosperity. Trade agreements today serve 
     the same purposes that security pacts played during the Cold 
     War, binding nations together through a series of mutual 
     rights and obligations. Leadership by the United States in 
     international trade fosters open markets, democracy, and 
     peace throughout the world.
       (2) The national security of the United States depends on 
     its economic security, which in turn is founded upon a 
     vibrant and growing industrial base. Trade expansion has been 
     the engine of economic growth. Trade agreements maximize 
     opportunities for the critical sectors and building blocks of 
     the economy of the United States, such as information 
     technology, telecommunications and other leading 
     technologies, basic industries, capital equipment, medical 
     equipment, services, agriculture, environmental technology, 
     and intellectual property. Trade will create new 
     opportunities for the United States and preserve the 
     unparalleled strength of the United States in economic, 
     political, and military affairs. The United States, secured 
     by expanding trade and economic opportunities, will meet the 
     challenges of the twenty-first century.
       (3) Support for continued trade expansion requires that 
     dispute settlement procedures under international trade 
     agreements not add to or diminish the rights and obligations 
     provided in such agreements. Nevertheless, in several cases, 
     dispute settlement panels and the WTO Appellate Body have 
     added to obligations and diminished rights of the United 
     States under WTO Agreements. In particular, dispute 
     settlement panels and the Appellate Body have--
       (A) given insufficient deference to the expertise and fact-
     finding of the Department of Commerce and the United States 
     International Trade Commission;
       (B) imposed an obligation concerning the casual 
     relationship between increased imports into the United States 
     and serious injury to domestic industry necessary to support 
     a safeguard measure that is different from the obligation set 
     forth in the applicable WTO Agreements;
       (C) imposed an obligation concerning the exclusion from 
     safeguards measures of products imported from countries party 
     to a free trade agreement that is different from the 
     obligation set forth in the applicable WTO Agreements;
       (D) imposed obligations on the Department of Commerce with 
     respect to the use of facts available in antidumping 
     investigations that are different from the obligations set 
     forth in the applicable WTO Agreements; and
       (E) accorded insufficient deference to the Department of 
     Commerce's methodology for adjusting countervailing duties 
     following the privatization of a subsidized foreign producer.

     SEC. 2102. 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 2103 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 that 
     decrease market opportunities for United States exports or 
     otherwise distort United States trade;
       (3) to further strengthen the system of international 
     trading disciplines and procedures, including dispute 
     settlement;
       (4) to foster economic growth, raise living standards, and 
     promote full employment in the United States and to enhance 
     the global economy;

[[Page S4230]]

       (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 
     International Labor Organization (as defined in section 
     2113(2)) and an understanding of the relationship between 
     trade and worker rights;
       (7) to seek provisions in trade agreements under which 
     parties to those agreements strive to ensure that they do not 
     weaken or reduce the protections afforded in domestic 
     environmental and labor laws as an encouragement for trade; 
     and
       (8) to ensure that trade agreements afford small businesses 
     equal access to international markets, equitable trade 
     benefits, expanded export market opportunities, and provide 
     for the reduction or elimination of trade barriers that 
     disproportionately impact small business.
       (b) Principal Trade Negotiating Objectives.--
       (1) Trade barriers and distortions.--The principal 
     negotiating objectives of the United States regarding trade 
     barriers and other trade distortions are--
       (A) to expand competitive market opportunities for United 
     States exports and to obtain fairer and more open conditions 
     of trade 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, with particular attention 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.--The principal negotiating objective 
     of the United States regarding trade in services is to reduce 
     or eliminate barriers to international trade in services, 
     including regulatory and other barriers that deny national 
     treatment and market access or unreasonably restrict the 
     establishment or operations of service suppliers.
       (3) 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 trade-related foreign investment, while ensuring 
     that United States investors in the United States are not 
     accorded lesser rights than foreign 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;
       (D) seeking to establish standards for expropriation and 
     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) establishment of a single appellate body to review 
     decisions in investor-to-government disputes and thereby 
     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;
       (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.
       (4) Intellectual property.--The principal negotiating 
     objectives of the United States regarding trade-related

       (A) In general.--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--
       (i) 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 
     the Congress on such products before initiating tariff 
     reduction negotiations;
       (ii) reducing tariffs to levels that are the same as or 
     lower than those in the United States;
       (iii) seeking to eliminate all export subsidies on 
     agricultural commodities while maintaining bona fide food aid 
     and preserving United States agricultural market development 
     and export credit programs that allow the United States to 
     compete with other foreign export promotion efforts;
       (iv) allowing the preservation of programs that support 
     family farms and rural communities but do not distort trade;
       (v) developing disciplines for domestic support programs, 
     so that production that is in excess of domestic food 
     security needs is sold at world prices;
       vi) eliminating Government policies that create price-
     depressing surpluses;
       (vii) eliminating state trading enterprises whenever 
     possible;
       (viii) developing, strengthening, and clarifying rules and

     practices that unfairly decrease United States market access 
     opportunities or distort agricultural markets to the 
     detriment of the United States, particularly with respect 
     to import-sensitive products, 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 those not based on scientific principles in 
     contravention of the Uruguay Round Agreements;
       (IV) other unjustified technical barriers to trade; and
       (V) restrictive rules in the administration of tariff rate 
     quotas;
       (ix) 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;
       (x) ensuring that the use of 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;
       (xi) 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;
       (xii) 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;
       (xiii) otherwise ensuring that countries that accede to the 
     World Trade Organization have made meaningful market 
     liberalization commitments in agriculture;
       (xiv) taking into account the impact that agreements 
     covering agriculture to which the United States is a party, 
     including the North American Free Trade Agreement, have on 
     the United States agricultural industry;
       (xv) maintaining bona fide food assistance programs and 
     preserving United States market development and export credit 
     programs; and
       (xvi) strive to complete a general multilateral round in 
     the World Trade Organization by January 1, 2005, and seek 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).
       (B) Consultation
       (i) Before commencing negotiations.--Before commencing 
     negotiations with respect to agriculture, the United States 
     Trade Representative, in consultation with the Congress, 
     shall seek to develop a position on the treatment of seasonal 
     and perishable agricultural products to be employed in the 
     negotiations in order 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.
       (ii) During negotiations.--During any negotiations on 
     agricultural subsidies, the United States Trade 
     Representative shall seek 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.
       (iii) Scope of objective.--The negotiating objective 
     provided in subparagraph (A) applies with respect to 
     agricultural matters to be addressed in any trade agreement 
     entered into under section 2103 (a) or (b), including any 
     trade agreement entered into under section 2103 (a) or (b) 
     that provides for accession to a trade agreement to which the 
     United States is already a party, such as the North American 
     Free Trade Agreement and the United States-Canada Free Trade 
     Agreement.
       (11) 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 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 
     between the United States and that party after entry into 
     force of a trade agreement between those countries;
       (B) to recognize that parties to a trade agreement retain 
     the right to exercise discretion with respect to 
     investigatory, prosecutorial, regulatory, and compliance 
     matters and to make decisions regarding the allocation of 
     resources to enforcement with respect to other labor or 
     environmental matters determined to have higher priorities, 
     and to recognize that a country is effectively enforcing its 
     laws if a course of action or inaction reflects a reasonable 
     exercise of such discretion, or results from a bona fide 
     decision regarding the allocation of resources and no 
     retaliation may be authorized based on the exercise of these 
     rights or the right to establish domestic labor standards and 
     levels of environmental protection;
       (C) to strengthen the capacity of United States trading 
     partners to promote respect for core labor standards (as 
     defined in section 2113(2));
       (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; and
       (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.
       (12) 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 improved adherence by panels convened under the 
     WTO Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the 
     Settlement of Disputes and by the WTO Appellate Body to the 
     standard of review applicable under the WTO 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.

[[Page S4232]]

       (13) Border taxes.--The principal negotiating objective of 
     the United States regarding border taxes is to obtain a 
     revision of the WTO rules 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.
       (14) WTO extended negotiations.--The principal negotiating 
     objectives of the United States regarding trade in civil 
     aircraft are those set forth in section 135(c) of the Uruguay 
     Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3355(c)) and regarding rules 
     of origin are the conclusion of an agreement described in 
     section 132 of that Act (19 U.S.C. 3552).
       (c) Promotion of Certain Priorities.--In order to address 
     and maintain United States competitiveness in the global 
     economy, the President shall--
       (1) seek greater cooperation between the WTO and the ILO;
       (2) seek to establish consultative mechanisms among parties 
     to trade agreements to strengthen the capacity of United 
     States trading partners to promote respect for core labor 
     standards (as defined in section 2113(2)), and report to the 
     Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives 
     and the Committee on Finance of the Senate on the content and 
     operation of such mechanisms;
       (3) 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, and report to the Committee on Ways and 
     Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
     Finance of the Senate on the content and operation of such 
     mechanisms;
       (4) conduct environmental reviews of future trade and 
     investment agreements, consistent with Executive Order 13141 
     of November 16, 1999 and the relevant guidelines, and report 
     to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate on 
     such reviews;
       (5) review the impact of future trade agreements on United 
     States employment, modeled after Executive Order 13141, and 
     report to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate on 
     such review;
       (6) 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;
       (7) have the Secretary of Labor consult with any country 
     seeking a trade agreement with the United States concerning 
     that country's labor laws and provide technical assistance to 
     that country if needed;
       (8) in connection with any trade negotiations entered into 
     under this Act, the President shall submit to the Committee 
     on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Finance of the Senate a meaningful labor rights 
     report of the country, or countries, with respect to which 
     the President is negotiating, on a time frame determined in 
     accordance with section 2107(b)(2)(E);
       (9)(A) 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 provision, 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) address and remedy market distortions that lead to 
     dumping and subsidization, including over-capacity, 
     cartelization, and market-access barriers.
       (10) continue to 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 the GATT 1994;
       (11) report to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House 
     of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the 
     Senate, not later than 12 months after the imposition of a 
     penalty or remedy by the United State permitted by a trade 
     agreement to which this title applies, on the effectiveness 
     of the penalty or remedy applied under United states law in 
     enforcing United States rights under the trade agreement; and
       (12) seek to establish consultative mechanisms among 
     parties to trade agreements to examine the trade consequences 
     of significant and unantipated currency movements and to 
     scrutinize whether a foreign government engaged in a pattern 
     of manipulating its currency to promote a competitive 
     advantage in international trade.

     The report required under paragraph (11) shall address 
     whether the penalty or remedy was effective in changing the 
     behavior of the targeted party and whether the penalty or 
     remedy had any adverse impact on parties or interests not 
     party to the dispute.
       (d) Consultations.--
       (1) Consultations with congressional advisers.--In the

     Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and 
     the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the 
     Senate.
       (e) Adherence to Obligations Under Uruguay Round

     obligations under the Uruguay Round Agreements.

     SEC. 2103. 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) June 1, 2005; or
       (ii) June 2, 2007, 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 exiting duty-free or excise 
     treatment, or
       (iii) such additional duties, as the President determines 
     to be required or appropriate to carry out any such trade 
     agreement.

     The President shall notify the Congress of the President's 
     intention to enter into an agreement under this subsection.
       (2) Limitations.--No proclamation may be made under 
     paragraph (1) that--
       (A) reduces any rate of duty (other than a rate of duty 
     that does not exceed 5 percent ad valorem on the date of the 
     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, on any import sensitive 
     agricultural product; or
       (C) increases any rate of duty above the rate that applied 
     on the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (3) 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 
     one-tenth 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.
       (B) Exemption from staging.--No staging is required under 
     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

     any country, the President shall assess whether United States 
     tariffs on agricultural products that were bound under the 
     Uruguay Round Agreements are lower than the tariffs bound by 
     that country. In addition, the President shall consider 
     whether the tariff levels bound and applied throughout the 
     world with respect to imports from the United States are 
     higher than United States tariffs and whether the negotiation 
     provides an opportunity to address any such disparity. The 
     President shall consult with the Committee On Ways and Means 
     and the Committee on Agriculture of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Finance and the 
     Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the 
     Senate concerning the results of the assessment, whether it

     assessment, and how all applicable negotiating objectives 
     will be met.
       (2) Special consultants on import sensitive products.--

     of duty that applied to such article on December 31, 1994;
       (ii) consult with the Committee on Ways and Means and the 
     Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and 
     the Committee on Finance and the Committee on Agriculture, 
     Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate concerning--
       (I) whether any further tariff reductions on the products 
     identified under clause (i) should be appropriate, taking 
     into account the impact of any such tariff reduction on the 
     United States industry producing the product concerned;
       (II) whether the products so identified face unjustified 
     sanitary or phytosanitary restrictions, including those not 
     based on scientific principles in contravention of the 
     Uruguay Round Agreements; and
       (III) whether the countries participating in the 
     negotiations maintain export subsidies or other programs, 
     policies, or practices that distort world trade in such 
     products and the impact of such programs, policies, and 
     practices on United States producers of the products;
       (iii) request that the International Trade Commission 
     prepare an assessment of the probable economic effects of any 
     such tariff reduction on the United States industry producing 
     the product concerned and on the United States economy as a 
     whole; and
       (iv) upon complying with clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), 
     notify the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on 
     Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee 
     on Finance and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and 
     Forestry of the Senate of those products identified under 
     clause (i) for which the Trade Representatives intends to 
     seek tariff liberalization in the negotiations and the 
     reasons for seeking such tariff liberalization.
       (B) Identification of additional agricultural products.--
     If, after negotiations described in subparagraph (A) are

     notification under subparagraph (a)(iv), or
       (ii) any additional agricultural product described in 
     subparagraph (A)(i) is the subject of a request for tariff 
     reductions by a party to the negotiations,

     reductions.

     Committees apprised of negotiations on an ongoing and timely 
     basis.
       (c) Negotiations Regarding Textiles.--Before initiating or 
     continuing negotiations the subject matter of which is 
     directly related to textiles and apparel products with any 
     country, the President shall assess whether United States 
     tariffs on textile and apparel products that were bound under 
     the Uruguay Round Agreements are lower than the tariffs bound 
     by that country and whether the negotiation provides an 
     opportunity to address any such disparity. The President 
     shall consult with the Committee on Ways and Means of the 
     House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the 
     Senate concerning the results of the assessment, whether it 
     is appropriate for the United States to agree to further 
     tariff reductions based on the conclusions reached in the

     will be met.

     date that one House of Congress agrees to a procedural

     developed or met with respect to the negotiations, agreement, 
     or agreements;
       (III) the President has not met with the Congressional 
     Oversight Group pursuant to a request made under section

     House of Congress during that Congress.

     SEC. 2109. COMMITTEE STAFF.

       The grant of trade promotion authority under this title is 
     likely to increase the activities of the primary committees 
     of jurisdiction in the area of international trade. In 
     addition, the creation of the Congressional Oversight Group 
     under section 2107 will increase the participation of a 
     broader number of Members of Congress in the formulation of 
     United States trade policy and oversight of the international 
     trade agenda for the United States. The primary committees of 
     jurisdiction should have adequate staff to accommodate these 
     increases in activities.

                DIVISION C--ANDEAN TRADE PREFERENCE ACT

                  TITLE XXXI--ANDEAN TRADE PREFERENCE

     SEC. 3101. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the ``Andean 
     Trade Preference Expansion Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since the Andean Trade Preference Act was enacted in 
     1991, it has had a positive impact on United States trade 
     with Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Two-way trade has 
     doubled, with the United States serving as the leading source 
     of imports and leading export market for each of the Andean 
     beneficiary countries. This has resulted in increased jobs 
     and expanded export opportunities in both the United States 
     and the Andean region.
       (2) The Andean Trade Preference Act has been a key element 
     in the United States counternarcotics strategy in the Andean 
     region, promoting export diversification and broad-based 
     economic development that provides sustainable economic 
     alternatives to drug-crop production, strengthening the 
     legitimate economies of Andean countries and creating viable 
     alternatives to illicit trade in coca.
       (3) Notwithstanding the success of the Andean Trade 
     Preference Act, the Andean region remains threatened by 
     political and economic instability and fragility, vulnerable 
     to the consequences of the drug war and fierce global 
     competition for its legitimate trade.
       (4) The continuing instability in the Andean region poses a 
     threat to the security interests of the United States and the 
     world. This problem has been partially addressed through 
     foreign aid, such as Plan Colombia, enacted by Congress in 
     2000. However, foreign aid alone is not sufficient. 
     Enhancement of legitimate trade with the United States 
     provides an alternative means for reviving and stabilizing 
     the economies in the Andean region.
       (5) The Andean Trade Preference Act constitutes a tangible 
     commitment by the United States to the promotion of 
     prosperity, stability, and democracy in the beneficiary 
     countries.
       (6) Renewal and enhancement of the Andean Trade Preference 
     Act will bolster the confidence of domestic private 
     enterprise and foreign investors in the economic prospects of 
     the region, ensuring that legitimate private enterprise can 
     be the engine of economic development and political stability 
     in the region.
       (7) Each of the Andean beneficiary countries is committed 
     to conclude negotiation of a Free Trade Area of the Americas 
     by the year 2005, as a means of enhancing the economic 
     security of the region.
       (8) Temporarily enhancing trade benefits for Andean 
     beneficiaries countries will promote the growth of free 
     enterprise and economic opportunity in these countries and 
     serve the security interests of the United States, the 
     region, and the world.

     treatment under subparagraph (B) during any succeeding 1-year

     United States or in 1 or more ATPEA beneficiary countries 
     shall not be ineligible for such treatment if the total 
     weight of all such yarns is not more than 7 percent of the

     President shall deny all benefits under this title to such 
     exporter, and any successor of such exporter, for a period of 
     2 years.

     occurred, the President shall request that the ATPEA 
     beneficiary country or countries through whose territory the 
     transshipment has occurred take all necessary and appropriate 
     actions to prevent such transshipment. If the President 
     determines that a country is not taking such actions, the 
     President shall reduce the quantities of textile and apparel 
     articles that may be imported into the United States from 
     such country by the quantity of the transshipped articles 
     multiplied by 3, to the extent consistent with the 
     obligations of the United States under the WTO.

     meaning of this subparagraph has occurred when preferential 
     treatment under subparagraph (B) has been claimed for a 
     textile or apparel article on the basis of material false 
     information concerning the country of origin, manufacture, 
     processing, or assembly of the article or any of its

     material if disclosure of the true information would mean or 
     would have meant that the article is or was ineligible for 
     preferential treatment under subparagraph (B).

     emergency tariff actions of a kind described in section 4 of 
     the Annex with respect to any apparel article imported from 
     an ATPEA beneficiary country if the application of tariff 
     treatment under subparagraph (B) to such article results in 
     conditions that would be cause for the taking of such actions 
     under such section 4 with respect to a like article described 
     in the same 8-digit subheading of the HTS that is imported 
     from Mexico.

     purposes of applying bilateral emergency action under this

                      TITLE XLII--OTHER PROVISIONS

     SEC. 4201. TRANSPARENCY IN NAFTA TRIBUNALS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Chapter Eleven of the North American Free Trade 
     Agreement (NAFTA) allows foreign investors to file claims 
     against signatory countries that directly or indirectly 
     nationalize or expropriate an investment, or take measures 
     ``tantamount to nationalization or expropriation'' of such an 
     investment.
       (2) Foreign investors have filed several claims against the 
     United States, arguing that regulatory activity has been 
     ``tantamount to nationalization or expropriation''. Most 
     notably, a Canadian chemical company claimed $970,000,000 in 
     damages allegedly resulting from a California State 
     regulation banning the use of a gasoline additive produced by 
     that company.
       (3) A claim under Chapter Eleven of the NAFTA is 
     adjudicated by a three-member panel, whose deliberations are 
     largely secret.
       (4) While it may be necessary to protect the 
     confidentiality of business sensitive information, the 
     general lack of transparency of these proceedings has been 
     excessive.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this amendment is to ensure 
     that the proceedings of the NAFTA investor protection 
     tribunals are as transparent as possible, consistent with the 
     need to protect the confidentiality of business sensitive 
     information.
       (c) Chapter 11 of NAFTA.--The President shall negotiate 
     with Canada and Mexico an amendment to Chapter Eleven of the 
     NAFTA to ensure the fullest transparency possible with 
     respect to the dispute settlement mechanism in that Chapter, 
     consistent with the need to protect information that is 
     classified or confidential, by--
       (1) ensuring that all requests for dispute settlement under 
     Chapter Eleven are promptly made public;

[[Page S4243]]

       (2) ensuring that with respect to Chapter Eleven--
       (A) all proceedings, submissions, findings, and decisions 
     are promptly made public; and
       (B) all hearings are open to the public; and
       (3) establishing a mechanism under that Chapter for 
     acceptance of amicus curiae submissions from businesses, 
     unions, and nongovernmental organizations.
       (d) Certification Requirements.--Within one year of the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the U.S. Trade Representative 
     shall certify to Congress that the President has fulfilled 
     the requirements set forth in subsection (c).

     SEC. 4202. EXPRESSION OF SOLIDARTIY WITH ISRAEL IN ITS FIGHT 
                   AGAINST TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and Israel are now engaged in a 
     common struggle against terrorism and are on the frontlines 
     of a conflict thrust upon them against their will.
       (2) President George W. Bush declared on November 21, 2001, 
     ``We fight the terrorists and we fight all of those who give 
     them aid. America has a message for the nations of the world: 
     If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists. If you train or 
     arm a terrorist, you are a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist 
     or fund a terrorist, you are a terrorist, and you will be 
     held accountable by the United States and our friends.''.
       (3) The United States has committed to provide resources to 
     states on the frontline in the war against terrorism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
       (1) stands in solidarity with Israel, a frontline state in 
     the war against terrorism, as it takes necessary steps to 
     provide security to its people by dismantling the terrorist 
     infrastructure in the Palestinian areas;
       (2) remains committed to Israel's right to self-defense;
       (3) will continue to assist Israel in strengthening its 
     homeland defenses;
       (4) condemns Palestinian suicide bombings;
       (5) demands that the Palestinian Authority fulfill its 
     commitment to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in the 
     Palestinian areas;
       (6) urges all Arab states, particularly the United States 
     allies, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to declare their unqualified 
     opposition to all forms of terrorism, particularly suicide 
     bombing, and to act in concert with the United States to stop 
     the violence; and
       (7) urges all parties in the region to pursue vigorously 
     efforts to establish a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace 
     in the Middle East.
