relations treatment) to the products of Moldova. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 8, 2011 
Mr. REICHERT (for himself and Mr. MCDERMOTT) introduced the following 
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
A BILL 
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment 
(normal trade relations treatment) to the products of 
Moldova. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Moldova has been a member of the World 
Trade Organization since July 26, 2001, and grant-
ing permanent normal trade relations treatment to 
the products of Moldova would enable the United 
States to avail itself of all rights under the World 
Trade Organization with respect to Moldova.

(2) Moldova has received normal trade relations 
treatment since 1992 and has been found by the 
President to be in full compliance with the freedom 
of emigration requirements under title IV of the 
Trade Act of 1974 since 1997. 
(3) Moldova has demonstrated a strong desire 
to build friendly relationships and to cooperate fully 
with the United States on trade and other matters. 
(4) Since the establishment of its independence 
in 1991, Moldova adopted its Constitution in 1994 
and has held a series of Parliamentary elections, 
most recently in November 2010. 
(5) Moldova has undertaken and continues to 
pursue significant political and free-market economic 
reforms, including the privatization of its small to 
medium-sized business sectors and agricultural land, 
and Moldova signed a compact with the Millennium 
Challenge Corporation in January 2010. 
(6) Terminating the application of title IV of 
the Trade Act of 1974 to the products of Moldova 
will indicate the support of the United States for 
further progress on trade and broader reforms in 
Moldova.
