SUMMARY: Swailand worker rights protection and Kazakhstan intellectual property protection; case reviews closed, DOCUMENT BODY: [[Page 25615]]
The GSP program provides for the duty-free importation of designated articles when imported from beneficiary developing countries. The GSP program is authorized by Title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as amended (the ``Trade Act''), and is implemented in accordance with Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 1975, as modified by subsequent Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations. In the 2005 Annual Review, the GSP Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is reviewing petitions concerning the country practices of certain beneficiary developing countries of the GSP program. As a result of that review, the TPSC has decided to close the review for case 012CP05 regarding protection of worker rights in Swaziland and case 015CP05, protection of intellectual property rights in Kazakhstan. The Petitioners were the AFLCIO and the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), respectively. The results of other ongoing country practice reviews in the 2005 Annual Review will be announced in the Federal Register at a later date. Marideth J. Sandler, Executive Director, GSP Program.
