5 This title may be cited as the ‘‘AGOA Extension and 

6 Enhancement Act of 2015’’. 

7 SEC. 102. FINDINGS. 

8 Congress finds the following: 

9 (1) Since its enactment, the African Growth 

10 and Opportunity Act has been the centerpiece of 

11 trade relations between the United States and sub12 Saharan Africa and has enhanced trade, investment, 

13 job creation, and democratic institutions throughout 

14 Africa. 

15 (2) Trade and investment, as facilitated by the 

16 African Growth and Opportunity Act, promote eco17 nomic growth, development, poverty reduction, de18 mocracy, the rule of law, and stability in sub-Saha19 ran Africa. 

20 (3) Trade between the United States and sub21 Saharan Africa has more than tripled since the en22 actment of the African Growth and Opportunity Act 

23 in 2000, and United States direct investment in sub24 Saharan Africa has grown almost six-fold.

1 (4) It is in the interest of the United States to 

2 engage and compete in emerging markets in sub-Sa3 haran African countries, to boost trade and invest4 ment between the United States and sub-Saharan 

5 African countries, and to renew and strengthen the 

6 African Growth and Opportunity Act. 

7 (5) The long-term economic security of the 

8 United States is enhanced by strong economic and 

9 political ties with the fastest-growing economies in 

10 the world, many of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. 

11 (6) It is a goal of the United States to further 

12 integrate sub-Saharan African countries into the 

13 global economy, stimulate economic development in 

14 Africa, and diversify sources of growth in sub-Saha15 ran Africa. 

16 (7) To that end, implementation of the Agree17 ment on Trade Facilitation of the World Trade Or18 ganization would strengthen regional integration ef19 forts in sub-Saharan Africa and contribute to eco20 nomic growth in the region. 

21 (8) The elimination of barriers to trade and in22 vestment in sub-Saharan Africa, including high tar23 iffs, forced localization requirements, restrictions on 

24 investment, and customs barriers, will create oppor25 tunities for workers, businesses, farmers, and ranchVerDate Sep 11 2014 23:06 May 11, 2015 Jkt 049200 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\S1267.PCS S1267

1 ers in the United States and sub-Saharan African 

2 countries. 

3 (9) The elimination of such barriers will im4 prove utilization of the African Growth and Oppor5 tunity Act and strengthen regional and global inte6 gration, accelerate economic growth in sub-Saharan 

7 Africa, and enhance the trade relationship between 

8 the United States and sub-Saharan Africa.

11 website of such country public versions of its AGOA

13 (2) the United States Trade Representative
