Tariffs. Customs. Trade Remedies

 

On January 27, 2015, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) published in the Federal Register a notice advising that USTR, on behalf of the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), is seeking public comment regarding U.S. interests and priorities with respect to this initiative to invite Iceland to join the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA) negotiations.

On March 21, 2014, USTR notified Congress of the Administration’s intention to enter into negotiations for an EGA with an initial group of 13 trading partners. USTR has since notified Congress of the Administration’s intent to join a consensus among EGA participants to invite the Government of Iceland to join the EGA negotiations.
