Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Out-of-Cycle Review ("OCR") under section 182 (commonly referred to as the "Special 301" provision) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended ("Trade Act"), has concluded with a finding that the Government of Ukraine substantially has improved its intellectual property right ("IPR") enforcement efforts. As a result, the United States Trade Representative ("Trade Representative") is revoking the identification of Ukraine as a Priority Foreign Country ("PFC") under section 182 and instead is placing Ukraine on the Priority Watch List, and is restoring the tariff-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences ("GSP") accorded to products of Ukraine. Pursuant to section 306 of the Trade Act, the Office of the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") will continue to monitor closely the Government of Ukraine's IPR enforcement efforts.
