SEC. 637. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING CANADA’S RE-
STRICTIONS ON IMPORTS OF UNITED STATES
CHICKENS.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The United States chicken industry is a
highly competitive and growing industry which em-
ploys over 200,000 people, has over 25,000 family
farms, and has significant production in over 28
States.
(2) United States exports of chickens grew by 32
percent in volume in 1993 and exports are increas-
ingly important to the continued economic vitality of
the chicken industry.
(3) Canada’s chicken supply management system
has severely limited the importation of United States
chickens to Canada since it was imposed over 15
years ago, and its elimination would lead to between
$350,000,000 and $700,000,000 in new exports to
HR 4539 EAS1S
Canada and between 7,000 and 14,000 new jobs in
the United States.
(4) Canada’s chicken supply management system
protects Canadian chicken growers while seriously
hurting both United States and Canadian food proc-
essors, retailers, and consumers.
(5) The United States and Canada have a free
trade agreement which calls for the elimination of all
tariffs and prohibits the imposition of new tariffs on
any goods traded bilaterally.
(6) The goals of the Uruguay Round Agreement
on Agriculture are to liberalize and expand trade in
agriculture and to eliminate distortions to such trade.
(7) Canada refused to negotiate the issue of
elimination of its severe trade restrictions on the im-
portation of United States chickens as part of the
North American Free Trade Agreement (hereafter re-
ferred to as ‘‘NAFTA’’) because the issue was part of
the global trade negotiations under the Uruguay
Round.
(8) The Uruguay Round has now concluded and
the former and current United States Trade Rep-
resentative, as well as other key cabinet-level officials,
have stated that Canada will be in violation of its
HR 4539 EAS1S
NAFTA obligations if it does not eliminate its newly
imposed tariffs on chickens.
(9) The United States chicken industry has wait-
ed patiently for access to Canadian markets, which
would be the United States largest export market for
chickens if it were fully open.
(10) NAFTA should lead to free and completely
open trade for the chicken industry between the Unit-
ed States and Canada, as it will between the United
States and Mexico.
(11) The United States and Canada are cur-
rently holding discussions to resolve this and other bi-
lateral agricultural matters.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that—
(1) the United States should reserve all current
and future rights to bring Canada into compliance
with its tariff obligations under NAFTA, including
the use of bilateral or multilateral dispute settlement
proceedings; and
(2) any agreement that is negotiated between the
United States and Canada on chickens should lead
to—
(A) substantial and immediate new market
access opportunities for United States chicken
HR 4539 EAS1S
exports in excess of the levels that have already
been achieved; and
(B) a commitment from Canada before the
effective date of the Uruguay Round Agreements
which—
(i) establishes a timeframe for the
elimination of all of Canada’s tariffs on
chickens; and
(ii) provides for growth in market ac-
cess levels for United States chicken exports
to Canada during the period such tariffs
are being phased out.
