104TH CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 3161
AN ACT
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment
(most-favored-nation treatment) to the products of Romania.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) Romania emerged from years of brutal
Communist dictatorship in 1989 and approved a
new Constitution and elected a Parliament by 1991,
laying the foundation for a modern parliamentary
democracy charged with guaranteeing fundamental
human rights, freedom of expression, and respect for
private property;
(2) local elections, parliamentary elections, and
presidential elections have been held in Romania,
and 1996 will mark the second nationwide presi-
dential elections under the new Constitution;
(3) Romania has undertaken significant eco-
nomic reforms, including the establishment of a two-
tier banking system, the introduction of a modern
tax system, the freeing of most prices and elimi-
nation of most subsidies, the adoption of a tariff-
based trade regime, and the rapid privatization of
industry and nearly all agriculture;
(4) Romania concluded a bilateral investment
treaty with the United States in 1993, and both
United States investment in Romania and bilateral

treatment since 1993, and has been found by the
President to be in full compliance with the freedom
of emigration requirements under title IV of the

Organization and extension of unconditional most-fa-
vored-nation treatment to the products of Romania
would enable the United States to avail itself of all
rights under the World Trade Organization with re-
spect to Romania; and

to build friendly relationships and to cooperate fully
with the United States on trade matters.
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV OF
