Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The fast track implementing procedure was born in the Trade Act of 1974. The concept behind fast track was that the president would consult closely with Congress every step of the way on the objectives for, and the content of, trade agreements that were under negotiation. In a panel discussion at the 88th annual meeting of the American Society of International Law, the following topics were discussed: 1. Should Congress extend fast track, and if so, for what agreements and under what conditions? 2. If fast track is extended, should there be any changes in the procedure as it currently exists? 3. If fast track is not extended, what are the implications of this for the president's ability to negotiate future trade agreements, whether multilateral, regional, or bilateral? 4. Is there any alternative to the fast track procedure, as it is known, that could reassure the US' negotiating partners about the reliability of the US as a negotiating partner?
