NFU Supports
Clinton’s Commitment
To Broaden World
Trade Negotiations
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
National Farmers Union
(NFU) called the commitment of
President Bill Clinton to reform
the World Trade Organization
(WTO) “an important develop
ment.”
Addressing the. WTO
Ministerial Conference here
recently, the president pledged
to make the world trade negoti
ating system more inclusive and
to push for future negotiations
to be broadened to include labor,
the environment, and other
issues impacting U.S. agricul
tural producers.
“The president’s speech to the
WTO is a positive change in
direction for family farmers and
ranchers, as a pledge was made
to include all stakeholders in
future trade negotiations,” said
Tom Buis, NFU vice president of
government relations.
“Farmers Union is very
pleased with President Clinton’s
commitment to seek future
trade agreements that encour
age other nations to raise their
quality standards, rather than
the current system which has
forced the United States to
lower its standards,” Buis said.
“NFU also is pleased that the
president affirmed the right of
nations to set domestic stan
dards which protect health and
safety, the environment and bio
diversity, even when they are
stronger than international
standards.”
Buis also noted that
President Clinton announced
his support of an expanded
trade grievance negotiating
process. Currently only the par
ties directly involved in a trade
dispute can argue their cases.
Clinton supports allowing third
parties with vested interests to
participate by filing Amicus
briefs.
In addition, NFU praised
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Secretary Dan Glickman and
U.S. Trade Representative
Charlene Barshefsky for aggres
sively seeking a solution to halt
European Union subsidized bar
ley from being exported to the
United States. “Glickman and
Barshefsky and their teams are
working very hard to ensure
that this does not happen
again,” said Buis.
Buis represented NFU at the
WTO conference, which was
held to outline a plan for negoti
ations on agriculture and the
service industry beginning in
2000. Clinton and many other
world leaders addressed the
WTO on the occasion of the
world body’s 50th anniversary.
(WTO was formerly called
GATT.)
