III. The Trade and Development Act
of 2000 (TDA), Public Law 106–200
(2002), established a new eligibility
criterion for receipt of trade benefits
under the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP), Caribbean Basin
Trade and Partnership Act (CBTPA),
and Africa Growth and Opportunity Act
(AGOA). The TDA amends the GSP
reporting requirements of Section 504 of
the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2464,
to require that the President’s annual
report on the status of internationally
recognized worker rights include
‘‘findings by the Secretary of Labor with
respect to the beneficiary country’s
implementation of its international
commitments to eliminate the worst
forms of child labor.’’ Title II of the TDA
and the TDA Conference Report, Joint
Explanatory Statement of the Committee
of Conference, 106th Cong.2d.Sess.
(2000), indicate that the same criterion
applies for the receipt of benefits under
CBTPA and AGOA, respectively.
In addition, the Andean Trade
Preference Act, as amended and
expanded by the Andean Trade
Promotion and Drug Eradication Act,
Public Law 107–210, Title XXXI (2002),
includes as a criterion for receiving
benefits ‘‘[w]hether the country has
implemented its commitments to
eliminate the worst forms of child labor
as defined in section 507(6) of the Trade
Act of 1974.’’ DOL fulfills these
reporting mandates through annual
publication of the U.S. Department of
Labor’s Findings on the Worst Forms of
