Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fair International Standards in 
Trade for the Americas Act of 1995''.

SEC. 2. PRINCIPAL NEGOTIATING OBJECTIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.

    The purposes, policies, and objectives that are applicable with 
respect to any free-trade area trade agreement negotiated under the 
authority of such title I in furtherance of the Free Trade Agreement 
for the Americas, as proposed at the Summit of the Americas that was 
held in December, 1994, in Miami, Florida with any country in the 
Western Hemisphere outside North America (hereafter in this Act 
referred to as the ``FTAA'') include the achievement of the overall and 
principal trade negotiating objectives of the United States set forth 
in section 1101 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, 
and the following principal negotiating objectives:
            (1) Worker rights and standards and protection.--With a 
        view to establishing open, expanding, mutually beneficial trade 
        among the countries of the Western Hemisphere, to spreading the 
        benefits of such trade as widely as possible, to protecting 
        citizens interests, and to enhancing respect for human rights 
        throughout the Western Hemisphere, the principal negotiating 
        objectives of the United States with respect to worker rights 
        and standards, and the protection thereof, in the conduct of 
        international trade, commerce, and finance are--
                    (A) to ensure freedom of association and to affirm 
                the vital role that free and independent unions play in 
                democratic governance;
                    (B) to ensure the rights of working people to 
                organize, to bargain collectively, and to strike, and 
                to ensure the right of workers' representatives to 
                legal protection in the free exercise of their duties 
                and fundamental human rights;
                    (C) to establish a minimum age for the employment 
                of children at 14 years if the employment will not 
                result in the neglect of their education and will not 
                harm their health and well-being;
                    (D) to ensure the right to health at the workplace 
                and to a healthy working environment, including freedom 
                from exposure to toxic substances;
                    (E) to guarantee the right of all workers to equal 
                protection, including freedom from discrimination in 
                wages or working conditions, regardless of their 
                nationality, race, religion, age, or sex; and
                    (F) to guarantee humane standards of wages and 
                hours of work that take into account different levels 
                of national economic development, but provide for 
                improvement concurrently with gains in productivity.
            (2) Environmental quality and protection.--In recognition 
        of the shared responsibility of the countries of the Western 
        Hemisphere as stewards responsible for, and their common 
        interest in, preserving and sustaining the Western Hemisphere's 
        natural habitat and resources over time, the principal 
        negotiating objectives of the United States with respect to 
        environmental quality and protection are--
                    (A) the protection of environmental quality and of 
                the integrity of ecosystems, as well as the maintenance 
                of scarce biological and physical resources, in the 
                conduct of international trade, commerce, and finance;
                    (B) the establishment of a process for the full and 
                public disclosure of the kinds, quantities, and risks 
                associated with toxic chemical and hazardous substance 
                discharges into the air, water, and land;
                    (C) the prevention of the export of toxic and 
                hazardous substances and products, such as carcinogens 
                and unsafe drugs, that are banned in the country of 
                origin;
                    (D) the prevention of the export of products 
                (except to the extent of remediation or repatriation 
                contracts that already exist) manufactured, extracted, 
                harvested, or grown under environmental conditions or 
                workplace safety and health conditions that undermine 
                counterpart standards, particularly those applicable to 
                the counterpart industry in the importing country or 
                the counterpart standards, in general, in the importing 
                country; and
                    (E) to require that industries within their 
                national borders reduce the amount and toxicity of 
                hazardous substances that they use, minimize the amount 
                and toxicity of wastes they generate, and demonstrate 
                publicly their use of best available technology for 
                pollution abatement in their production processes.
            (3) Unfair trade practices.--In acknowledging different, 
        evolving comparative advantages among trading nations, but with 
a view to distinguishing between acceptable and unacceptable means of 
competition among trading nations, the principal negotiating objectives 
of the United States with respect to unfair trade practices shall 
include the adoption, as a principle, and in enforcement action that 
the systematic denial or practical nullification of the protections 
accorded worker rights and standards and environmental quality (within 
the context of paragraphs (1) and (2)) as a means for any country or 
its industries to gain competitive advantage in international trade, 
commerce, and finance is an actionable unfair trade practice.
            (4) Comprehensive dispute resolution.--The principal 
        negotiating objectives of the United States are to achieve a 
        process for the settlement of disputes that arise between or 
        among the signatories with respect to unfair trade practices, 
        including not only those involving commonly identified unfair 
        trade barriers, but unfair practices, within the context of the 
        negotiating objectives listed in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) 
        involving the systematic denial or practical nullification of 
        worker rights and standards and failure to apply or enforce 
        standards relating to environmental quality or protection, 
        resulting in distortions to international trade, commerce, and 
        finance. Such a process shall include--
                    (A) notification by each signatory nation to the 
                other signatories regarding changes in law or practice 
                that will materially affect the agreement;
                    (B) provision, on a sequential basis and subject to 
                reasonable time limits, for consultation between or 
                among signatories, for mediation, and, if necessary, 
                for binding arbitration;
                    (C) the establishment of a multilateral commission, 
                with authority to investigate, adjudicate, issue 
                binding judgments, and take enforcement action, in a 
                timely manner regarding the issues in dispute pursuant 
                to subparagraph (B)--
                            (i) that consists of equal numbers of 
                        experts from the signatory nations (with United 
                        States experts being subject to the advice and 
                        consent of the United States Senate), and
                            (ii) the chairmanship of which will be

                appropriate fees on trans-border movements of products,

                    (G) provision for the multilateral commission, in

                environmental quality and protection and to give 
                preference to the prompt elimination of the act, 
                policy, or practice at issue over--
                            (i) the imposition of duties or other

                against any unfair trade practice, including the 
                systematic denial or practical nullification of worker 
                rights and standards and failure to apply or enforce 
                standards relating to environmental quality or 
                protection (referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2)), and 
                setting forth the allegations in support of the request 
                in public hearings and written testimony; and

        or
            (2) need for additional research on, and the development
