The Trade Representative must designate as a major wine trading country a foreign country or economic union that could be a significant United States-wine market and maintains barriers or other trade distortions. The decision must consider listed reports, later actions, and industry or other information.
(a) The Trade Representative* must designate each foreign country, or economic-union group, as a major wine trading country* if the Representative judges that it (1) is a potential significant market for United States wine* and (2) maintains tariff barriers, nontariff barriers, or other distortions affecting trade in United States wine*. (b) In deciding whether the condition in (a)(2) exists, the Representative must consider (1) the review and report required by section 854(a) of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979; (2) relevant actions the country or group has taken since that review; and (3) information submitted under section 2805 by United States wine and grape-products industries and information from other sources.
The Trade Representative* shall designate as a major wine trading country* each foreign country, or group of foreign countries represented as an economic union, that, in the judgment of the Trade Representative—
is a potential significant market for United States wine*; and
maintains tariff barriers or nontariff barriers to (or other distortions of) trade in United States wine*.
In deciding, for purposes of subsection (a)(2), whether a foreign country or group of countries maintains nontariff barriers to (or other distortions of) trade in United States wine, the Trade Representative shall take into account—
the review and report required under section 854(a) of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2135 note);
such relevant actions that may have been taken by that country or group since that review was conducted; and
such information as may be submitted under section 2805 of this title by representatives of the wine and grape products industries in the United States, as well as other sources.
