SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
The decision to launch negotiations
for a U.S.-EU trade agreement is an
important step toward achieving fairer,
more balanced trade with the EU and
follows the July 25, 2018 meeting
between President Trump and European
Commission President Jean-Claude
Juncker. In the joint statement issued
following their July 25th meeting,
President Trump and President Juncker
affirmed the intention of the United
States and the EU to address both tariff
and non-tariff barriers in their trading
relationship.
On October 16, 2018, following
consultations with relevant
Congressional committees, the United
States Trade Representative informed
Congress that the President intends to
commence negotiations with the EU for
a U.S.-EU Trade Agreement.
2. Public Comment and Hearing
The TPSC invites interested parties to
submit comments and/or oral testimony
to assist USTR as it develops negotiating
objectives and positions for the
agreement, including with regard to
objectives identified in section 102 of
the Bipartisan Congressional Trade
Priorities and Accountability Act of
2015 (19 U.S.C. 4201). In particular, the
TPSC invites interested parties to
comment on issues including, but not
limited to, the following:
a. General and product-specific
negotiating objectives for the proposed
agreement.
b. Relevant barriers to trade in goods
and services between the U.S. and the
EU that should be addressed in the
negotiations.
c. Economic costs and benefits to U.S.
producers and consumers of removal or
reduction of tariffs and removal or
reduction of non-tariff barriers on
articles traded with the EU.
d. Treatment of specific goods
(described by HTSUS numbers) under
the proposed agreement, including

issues that should be addressed in the

f. Sanitary and phytosanitary
measures and technical barriers to trade
that should be addressed in the
negotiations.
g. Other measures or practices that
undermine fair market opportunities for
U.S. businesses, workers, farmers, and
ranchers that should be addressed in the
negotiations.
USTR must receive written comments
no later than Monday, December 10,
2018.
USTR requests that small businesses,
generally defined by the Small Business
Administration as firms with fewer than
500 employees, or organizations
representing small business members,
which submit comments to self-identify
as such, so that we may be aware of
issues of particular interest to small
businesses.
The TPSC will hold a hearing on
December 14, 2018, in the Auditorium
of the Herbert C. Hoover Building, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401

their intention by December 10, 2018.

telephone number of the person
presenting the testimony. You should
attach a summary of the testimony by
using the ‘upload file’ field. The file
name also should include who will be
presenting the testimony. The TPSC
limits remarks at the hearing to no more
than five minutes to allow for possible
questions.
3. Requirements for Submissions
In order to ensure the timely receipt
and consideration of comments, USTR
strongly encourages commenters to
make on-line submissions, using the
