Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

that Bulgaria—

ruled by a democratically elected government as well
as basic market-oriented reforms, including privat-
ization;

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

negotiate with Bulgaria in order to preserve the commit-
ments of that country under the bilateral commercial

States that are consistent with the GATT and the WTO.

SION

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.
