摘要

The Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is seeking the views of interested parties on the operation of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA), as amended by the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) (19 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.). Section 212(f) of the CBERA, as amended, requires the President to submit a report to the Congress regarding the operation of the CBERA and CBTPA (known collectively as the Caribbean Basin Initiative, or CBI) on or before December 31, 2001 and every two years thereafter. The TPSC invites written comments concerning the operation of the CBI and on the performance of CBTPA beneficiary countries under the criteria described in section 213(b)(5)(B) of the CBERA, as amended.
