Successfully concluding bilateral negotiations on the many difficult trade issues, especially for certain agricultural products, required a great and dedicated effort by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. NCC and USAPEEC are most appreciative of these diligent efforts, especially to secure provisions that do not jeopardize the U.S. poultry industry's competitiveness in the Russian market.
Since Russia is the United States' largest export market for poultry it is vitally important that Russia's WTO membership agreement provide for the fair trade of poultry.
USAPEEC and NCC look forward to continuing to work with the Administration and Congress to assist in finalizing arrangements so that Russia can, in fact, join the WTO."
