Andean Trade Preferences, Trade Adjustment Assistance Set to Expire

By Webmaster on February 14, 2011 8:41 AM
On February 8, the Chamber sent a letter to all Members of Congress, urging them to support legislation to extend through July 1 the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) and the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009, known as Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), both of which will expire on February 12. The letter also noted that the bill does not extend the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), which expired on December 31, 2010. However, attempts to move the legislation in Congress this week were not successful, and both ATPA and TAA will expire tomorrow. The Chamber will continue to push Congress to extend these programs, and GSP, as soon as possible.
