COMMISSION

[Investigation 332–382]

The Likely Impact of U.S.–EU Sectoral

Trade Liberalization

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Institution of investigation and

scheduling of public hearing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 15, 1997.

SUMMARY: Following receipt on August

11, 1997, of a request from the Office of

the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR),

the Commission instituted investigation

No. 332–382, The Likely Impact of U.S.–

EU Sectoral Trade Liberalization, under

section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930

(19 U.S.C. 1332(g)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Information

on economic aspects of the investigation

may be obtained from Joseph Flynn,

Office of Economics (202–205–3251),

Sandra Rivera, Office of Economics

(202–205–3007), or William Donnelly,

Office of Economics (202–205–3223),

and on legal aspects, from William

(202–205–3091). The media should

External Relations (202–205–1819).

Hearing impaired individuals are

advised that information on this matter

can be obtained by contacting the TDD

terminal on (202–205–1810).

BACKGROUND: The USTR’s letter

requesting the investigation was

received on August 11, 1997. The letter

noted that the United States and the

European Union (EU) have agreed to

conduct a joint study to consider the
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 1997 / Notices 44487

potential effects of creating a closer

economic integration between the U.S.

and the EU. It also stated that the Office

of the U.S. Trade Representative and the

European Commission established an

approach to the study involving

focusing on sectors or issue areas that

warrant analysis of the potential effects

of the removal of barriers to U.S.–EU

trade, while also assessing the broad

economic impact of such liberalization.

As requested by USTR, the

Commission in its report on the

investigation will provide a study

analyzing the likely impact on U.S.

commerce of potential U.S.–EU sectoral

trade liberalization. The sectors to be

studied are (1) automobiles and light

trucks, (2) biotechnology (utilized in the

production of goods), (3) chemicals, (4)

electronics, (5) non-ferrous metals, (6)

paper and paper products, and (7)

pharmaceuticals.

As requested, the Commission will

conduct the analysis in two phases: (1)

in phase I it will seek to identify and

describe the most significant barriers to

trade and investment in the U.S. and EU

for each study sector; and (2) in phase

II it will assess, wherever possible, the

likely impact of removing these barriers

on the individual study sectors and on

the U.S. economy in general.

As requested, the phase I report will

contain detailed descriptions of the

most significant U.S. and EU barriers to

trade and investment that the

Commission has identified in the study

sectors, as well as a brief profile of U.S.

and EU trade and investment in each

study sector. For each of the study

sectors being examined, the

Commission will provide, to the extent

possible, the following information for

each barrier:

• Description of barrier, including

administrative basis, if any;

• Production and exports in the

affected sector or products;

• Qualitative information on the

effect of the barrier and its removal on

U.S. producers, exporters, and investors;

• A summary of past or ongoing

efforts to remove a particular barrier,

e.g. the Uruguay Round;

• Relevant data on industry structure,

performance, employment, etc.

The Commission will provide the

phase I report by November 21, 1997.

The phase II analysis will provide

trade liberalization model simulations

that assess the impact of the removal of

the barriers on the individual study

sectors and the U.S. economy in general,

including information on the effects on

employment, output, trade, and prices.

In addition, the Commission will

conduct a liberalization simulation that

encompasses, to the extent possible, all

significant U.S. and EU trade barriers

(including those in the zero-for-zero

sectors identified in the Statement of

Administration Action accompanying

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, but

not listed above). The Commission will

also provide, to the extent possible, an

analysis of trade liberalization of global

electronic commerce, consistent with

the Administration’s objectives, during

phase II. The Commission will not

include actions resulting from final

antidumping or countervailing duty

investigations in its analysis.

The Commission will provide the

phase II report by April 30, 1998.

Public Hearing: A public hearing in

connection with the investigation will

be held in the Commission hearing

20436, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on
