19 U.S.C. § 2804 — Actions to reduce or eliminate tariff and nontariff barriers affecting United States wine

(a) The President must direct the Trade Representative^* to consult each major wine trading country^* seeking reduction or elimination of its tariff barriers, nontariff barriers, or other distortions affecting United States wine^*. (b)(1) The President must notify the Committees^* about the extent and effect of efforts since the report under section 854(a) of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 and during the 12 months beginning October 30, 1984, to expand United States-wine^* exports in each such country. The notice must be a separate written report for each country, submitted within 30 days after that period, and include (A) each act, policy, and practice constituting a barrier or distortion, with its legal basis and operation, updating the earlier report; (B) how far each is subject to international agreements binding the United States; (C) actions taken or proposed under existing authority, including Trade Act of 1974 action and foreign-government negotiations or consultations; (D) why such action was not taken; and (E) recommendations for additional legislation or other action the President believes necessary and appropriate. (2) The Trade Representative must develop and coordinate these reports through the interagency trade organization under section 1872(a). (c) After considering information and advice under (a), (b), section 2805, or other sources, if the President determines action is appropriate regarding a major wine trading country’s barrier or distortion and it (1) conflicts with a trade agreement or denies the United States its benefits, or (2) is unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory and burdens or restricts United States commerce, the President must take all appropriate and feasible action under the Trade Act of 1974 to enforce United States rights under the agreement or obtain elimination of the act, policy, or practice. (This section does not define “major wine trading country,” “tariff barrier,” “nontariff barrier,” or “other distortion.”)
