Request for Public Comment on the Implications for U.S. Commercial Interests of the Accession to the European Union of Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus and Malta (Accession Countries)

The Trade Policy Staff Committee gives notice that the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) requests written submissions from the public concerning the implications for U.S. trade in goods and services of the anticipated May 2004 enlargement of the European Union (EU) to include Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus and Malta (accession countries). USTR and other agencies are currently engaged in an assessment of the potential impact on U.S. goods and services trade of the May 2004 enlargement of the EU and, in particular, of what compensation the EU may owe to the United States under WTO rules. Comments from the public in response to this notice will be incorporated into that assessment.
