(3) declares that Iran, through its many breaches for 18 years of its Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA, has forfeited the right to be trusted with development of a nuclear fuel cycle, especially with uranium conversion and enrichment and plutonium reprocessing technology, equipment, and facilities; (4) declares that the recent revelations of Iran’s nondisclosure of additional enrichment and nuclear-weapons-applicable research activities, as detailed in the report of February 24, 2004, by the Director General of the IAEA, along with the statement by the Government of Iran that it will not disclose other research programs, constitute ample evidence of Iran’s continuing policy of noncompliance with the letter and spirit of its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement and the Additional Protocol; (5) demands that Iran immediately and permanently cease all efforts to acquire nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and to immediately, unconditionally, and permanently cease all nuclear enrichment activities, including manufacturing and importing related equipment; (6) demands that Iran honor its stated commitments and legal obligations to grant the IAEA inspectors full unrestricted access and cooperate fully with the investigation of its nuclear activities and demonstrate a new openness and honesty about all its nuclear programs; (7) contrasts Iran’s behavior with Libya’s, in which Libya’s decision to renounce and dismantle its nuclear weapons program and to provide full, complete, and transparent disclosure of all its nuclear activities has enabled the IAEA to rapidly understand and verify with high confidence the extent and scope of Libya’s program; (8) calls upon the members of the European Union not to resume discussions with Iran on multilateral trade agreements until such time that Iran has verifiably and permanently ceased all nuclear weapons development activity, including a permanent cessation of uranium conversion and enrichment and plutonium reprocessing activities;

(B) urges France and Malaysia to ensure that French and Malaysian commercial entities not proceed with their agreement for further cooperation in expanding Iran’s liquid natural gas production field; (C) calls on all countries to intercede with their commercial entities to ensure that these entities refrain from or cease all investment and investment-related activities that support Iran’s energy industry; and (D) calls on the President to enforce the provisions of the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 to discourage foreign commercial entities from investing in Iran’s energy industry; (11) deplores any effort by any country to provide any nuclear power-related assistance whatsoever to Iran, and calls upon Russia to suspend nuclear cooperation with Iran and not conclude a nuclear fuel supply agreement for the Bushehr reactor, until the conditions of paragraph (8) are satisfied; (12) calls upon the governments of the countries whose nationals and corporations are implicated in assisting Iranian nuclear activities, especially Pakistan, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and Germany, to fully investigate such assistance, to grant the IAEA full access to individuals, sites, and all information related to the investigations, and to immediately review and rectify their export control laws, regulations, and practices in order to prevent further assistance to countries seeking to develop nuclear programs that could support the development of nuclear weapons;

(2) Actions to make more use of the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism and applicable United States trade laws to redress unfair Chinese trade practices, including China’s exchange rate manipulation, denial of trading and distribution rights, lack of intellectual property rights protection, objectionable labor standards, subsidies to export industries, forced technology transfers used as a condition of doing business, and using the United States Trade Representative to consult with trading partners who have mutual interests at the outset of each new trade dispute with China. (3) Actions by the United States Trade Representative and other appropriate United States Government officials to ensure that the World Trade Organization’s Transitional Review Mechanism process is a meaningful multilateral review that measures China’s compliance with its WTO commitments and to work with the European Union, Japan, and other major trading partners to produce a separate, unified annual report that measures and reports on China’s progress toward compliance and coordinates a plan of action to address China’s shortcomings.

(B) A report to be submitted to Congress by the Department of Commerce not later than 90 days after the date of the adoption of this concurrent resolution that (i) will contain the results of the actions described in subparagraph (A), (ii) will assess whether any of China’s practices described in such subparagraph may be actionable subsidies under the World Trade Organization, and (iii) will describe specific steps that the United States will take to address these practices. (5) Actions to address China’s coordinated national strategy for technology development and to establish and publish a coordinated, comprehensive national policy and strategy designed to meet China’s challenge to the maintenance of United States scientific and technological leadership and competitiveness.
