Trade Policy Staff Committee; Public Comments on the Accession of Vietnam to the World Trade Organization (WTO), and on U.S. Participation in Negotiations for the Terms of Those Accessions

摘要

The Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is requesting written public comments concerning U.S. commercial interests and other issues related to the accession of Vietnam to the WTO. Public comments should include, but not be limited to, information concerning that country's current trade policies and practices which affect (A) market access for U.S. exports, e.g., tariffs, non-tariff measures; (B) trade and investment in services, (C) other aspects of its trade regime affecting U.S. trade interests subject to WTO provisions, and (D) conditions or practices that impair the ability of WTO provisions to be applied on a reciprocal basis in Vietnam's trade regime. Comments received will be considered in developing U.S. positions and objectives for the multilateral and bilateral negotiations that will determine the terms of WTO accession for Vietnam to the World Trade Organization.
