Sec. 3801. Short title and findings

-STATUTE-

(a) Short title

This chapter may be cited as the ''Bipartisan Trade Promotion

Authority Act of 2002''.

(b) Findings

The 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. Therefore -

(A) the recent pattern of decisions by dispute settlement

panels of the WTO and the Appellate Body to impose obligations

and restrictions on the use of antidumping, countervailing, and

safeguard measures by WTO members under the Antidumping

Agreement, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing

Measures, and the Agreement on Safeguards has raised concerns;

and

(B) the Congress is concerned that dispute settlement panels

of the WTO and the Appellate Body appropriately apply the

standard of review contained in Article 17.6 of the Antidumping

Agreement, to provide deference to a permissible interpretation

by a WTO member of provisions of that Agreement, and to the

evaluation by a WTO member of the facts where that evaluation

is unbiased and objective and the establishment of the facts is

proper.

countries;

(xi) taking into account whether a party to the negotiations

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

that country of its obligations under those agreements;

(xiii) otherwise ensuring that countries that accede to 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 3813(6) of this title);

discriminate against United States exports or serve as

disguised barriers to trade.

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

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

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

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.

(15) 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.

(16) 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.

(17) Worst forms of child labor

The principal negotiating objective of the United States with

respect to the trade-related aspects of the worst forms of child

labor are to seek commitments by parties to trade agreements to

vigorously enforce their own laws prohibiting the worst forms of

child labor.

(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

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

Senate on the content and operation of such mechanisms;

(4) conduct environmental reviews of future trade and

(5) review the impact of future trade agreements on United

States employment, including labor markets, modeled after

Executive Order 13141 to the extent appropriate in establishing

procedures and criteria, report to the Committee on Ways and

Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee on

Finance of the Senate on such review, and make that report

available to the public;

(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 and regulations related thereto;

(7) direct the Secretary of Labor to 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, 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 3807(b)(2)(E)

of this title;

(9) with respect to any trade agreement which the President

seeks to implement under trade authorities procedures, submit to

the Congress a report describing the extent to which the country

or countries that are parties to the agreement have in effect

laws governing exploitative child labor;

(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 States permitted by a trade agreement to which this

chapter 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 unanticipated currency movements and to scrutinize whether a

foreign government engaged (FOOTNOTE 1) in a pattern of

manipulating its currency to promote a competitive advantage in

international trade.

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''is engaged''.

The report 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

shall assess whether United States tariffs on agricultural

products that were bound under the Uruguay Round Agreements are

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

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

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
