OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

U.S.–EU High Level Working Group on 

Jobs and Growth 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Request for comments. 

SUMMARY: At the November 28, 2011, 

European Union (EU)-United States 

Summit meeting, President Obama, 

European Commission President 

Barroso, and European Council 

President Von Rompuy directed the 

Transatlantic Economic Council to 

establish a High Level Working Group 

on Jobs and Growth, led by U.S. Trade 

Representative Ron Kirk and EU Trade 

Commissioner Karel De Gucht. The 

Working Group was asked to identify 

policies and measures to increase U.S.– 

EU trade and investment to support 

mutually beneficial job creation, 

economic growth, and international 

competitiveness. The Leaders also asked 

the Working Group to work closely with 

public and private sector stakeholder 

groups, and to draw on existing 

dialogues and mechanisms, as 

appropriate. 

To ensure that it has access to a wide 

range of views, ideas, and options 

concerning policies and measures to 

increase transatlantic trade and 

investment, the Working Group plans to 

consult extensively with business, 

nongovernmental organizations, 

academia, and other stakeholders. As 

part of this process, and consistent with 

the Leaders’ mandate, the U.S. 

Government welcomes written input 

from members of the public on options 

for increasing trade and investment in 

areas including, but not limited to, the 

following: 

• Conventional barriers to trade in 

goods, such as tariffs and tariff-rate 

quotas; 

• Reduction, elimination, or 

prevention of barriers to trade in goods, 

services, and investment; 

• Opportunities for enhancing the 

compatibility of regulations and 

standards; 

• Reduction, elimination, or 

prevention of unnecessary ‘‘behind the 

border’’ non-tariff barriers to trade in all 

categories; 

• Enhanced cooperation for the 

development of rules and principles on 

global issues of common concern and 

also for the achievement of shared 

economic goals relating to third 

countries. 

For each option or proposal that is 

suggested, submissions should seek to 

assess:
