A BILL
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment
(most-favored-nation treatment) to the products of Bulgaria.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND SUPPLE-
MENTAL ACTION.
(a) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.—The Congress finds
that Bulgaria—
(1) has received most-favored-nation treatment
since 1991 and has been found to be in full compli-
ance with the freedom of emigration requirements
under title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 since 1993;
(2) has reversed many years of Communist dic-
tatorship and instituted a constitutional republic
ruled by a democratically elected government as well
as basic market-oriented reforms, including privat-
ization;
(3) is in the process of acceding to the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the
World Trade Organization (WTO), and extension of
unconditional most-favored-nation treatment would
enable the United States to avail itself of all rights
under the GATT and the WTO with respect to Bul-
garia; and
(4) has demonstrated a strong desire to build
friendly relationships and to cooperate fully with the
United States on trade matters.
(b) SUPPLEMENTAL ACTION.—The Congress notes
that the United States Trade Representative intends to
negotiate with Bulgaria in order to preserve the commit-
ments of that country under the bilateral commercial
agreement in effect between that country and the United
States that are consistent with the GATT and the WTO.
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV OF
THE TRADE ACT OF 1974 TO BULGARIA.
(a) PRESIDENTIAL DETERMINATIONS AND EXTEN-
SION
OF NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT.—Notwith-
standing any provision of title IV of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.), the President may—
(1) determine that such title should no longer
apply to Bulgaria; and
(2) after making a determination under para-
graph (1) with respect to Bulgaria, proclaim the ex-
tension of nondiscriminatory treatment (most-
favored-nation treatment) to the products of that
country.
(b) TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV.—
On and after the effective date of the extension under sub-
section (a)(2) of nondiscriminatory treatment to the prod-
ucts of Bulgaria, title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 shall
cease to apply to that country.
