Chambliss Offers Thoughts on USTR Reports

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:32:19 CDT

The Ranking Member of the Senate Agriculture Committee was quick to respond to the release of the 2010 National Trade Estimate, Sanitary and Phytosanitary Barriers Report and 2010 Report on Technical Barriers to Trade by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss said - the reports are particularly important to U.S. agriculture since farmers and ranchers are disproportionately the target of these measures.


According to the Senator - the importance of standards and export agreements based on sound science cannot be over stated. The tension to resume trade at any cost and strict adherence to international standards is a difficult balance to meet as the implications we have seen in the near constant negotiations regarding exports of U.S. beef to Japan and poultry to Russia.


Without meaningful discussion, the Senator said, - disputes often result in retaliation that harms both sides and hardens positions that run counter to the best interests of the parties involved.
