Excerpt from Accession of China and Taiwan to the World Trade Organization: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Trade of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, September 19, 1996 Congressman Philip M. Crane (R-IL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Trade of the Committee on Ways and Means, today announced that the Subcommittee, as part of its series of hearings on the future direction of U.S. trade policy, will hold a hearing on the accession of the China and Taiwan to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The hearing will take place on Tuesday, September 17, 1996, in the main Committee hearing room, 1100 Longworth House Office Building, beginning at 2:00 p.m. Oral testimony will be heard from Acting U.S. Trade Representative, Charlene Barshefsky, as well as other invited and public witnesses. Background: Article XII of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization states that any State or separate customs territory may accede to the WTO "on terms to be agreed between it and the WTO." In practice, China, Taiwan and other applicants must negotiate terms for membership in the WTO in the form of a Protocol of Accession. Through the operation of a Working Party, the United States and other WTO members have an opportunity to review the trade regimes of applicants to ensure that they are capable of implementing WTO obligations. In negotiating terms of accession to the WTO, members also work to secure commitments and concessions on tariff levels, agricultural market access, and trade in services. China applied for accession to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in July 1986, and work has proceeded sporadically in the China Working Party since that time to negotiate the conditions upon which it will enter the WTO. Taiwan, known in the WTO as Chinese Taipei, applied for accession in January 1990, but negotiations did not commence until September 1992. In announcing the hearing, Chairman Crane said: "Given the size and annual growth rates of the economies of China and Taiwan, and the importance of achieving agreements that open markets for U.S. products and services, it is essential the Trade Subcommittee monitor progress of these accession talks closely. Congress will insist on strong protocol packages which ensure that the disciplines of the Uruguay Round Agreement are firmly established and protected, and that our market access objectives are accommodated." Focus of the Hearing: The focus of the hearing will be to examine the problems and opportunities associated with the entry of China and Taiwan into the WTO. Testimony will be received on objectives for the negotiations with China and Taiwan, as well as on the anticipated impact of their WTO membership on U.S. workers, industries, and other affected parties. Details for Submissions of Requests to be Heard: Requests to be heard at the hearing must be made by telephone to Traci Altman or Bradley Schreiber at (202) 225-1721 no later than the close of business, Friday, September 6, 1996.
