practice of an economy that has entered

into a telecommunications trade

agreement with the United States is

firms, within the context of the terms of

such agreements, mutually

comments on whether:

(1) any WTO Member is acting

inconsistently with commitments under

affects market opportunities for U.S.

telecommunications products and

services;

comply with NAFTA

telecommunications commitments

(including under Chapters 11, 12, and

13 of that agreement);

(3) APEC or CITEL members, the EU,

Japan, Korea, Mexico or Taiwan have

failed to abide by commitments under

additional telecommunications

agreements with the United States.1

Section 1377.2

agreements, please see 63 FR 1140
