EFFECTIVE DATE: June 2, 1998.

SUMMARY: Following receipt on April 15,

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1332(g)) from the United States Trade

Representative (USTR), the U.S.

International Trade Commission

(Commission) instituted investigation

No. 332–395, Effects on U.S. Trade of

Agreements with Selected Central and

Office of External Relations (202–205–

Background

The European Union (EU) has signed

a number of trade-liberalizing

agreements with trading partners in

Central and Eastern Europe and the

Mediterranean. These agreements have

established the starting point for

negotiations on EU membership, which

will commence this year.

To help it better understand the

implications for the United States of

such agreements, USTR requested on

April 15, 1998 that the Commission

conduct a fact-finding investigation

under section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of

1930 to assess the effects on U.S. trade

flows, sector-by-sector (including

agriculture) of the European Union’s

association agreements with selected

Central and Eastern European partners.

As requested by the USTR, the

Commission in its report on the

investigation will:

(1) Describe the trade and investmentrelated provisions of the association

agreement, including trading partner

tariff preferences for EU goods and

estimate the percentage of trading

partner imports of goods and services

from the EU that are covered

collectively by the provisions;

(2) Analyze the changes in access to

the trading partner’s market such

provisions create for the United States;

(3) Identify the product sectors where

notable changes have occurred or are

likely to occur to imports from the

United States as a result of the

association agreements; and,

(4) After examining trends in trade by

the partner countries, analyze the likely

effects of the agreements on U.S.

industries in the identified sectors.

In addition, as requested by USTR,

the Commission will review, and

compile a bibliography of, existing

academic and other literature relating to

this topic; solicit to the extent possible

the views of U.S. firms having

experience in the relevant markets; and

discuss aggregate effects of all five

agreements to the extent possible. USTR

requested that these trends be placed in

the context of other economic and

policy developments that may also have

had an impact on the country’s trade

and investment flows since entry-intoforce of the agreements.

this investigation will be held in the
