Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Trade Representative (USTR) and trade ministers from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic signed the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) on August 5, 2004. Nearly one year later, it faced a contentious debate and close vote in both houses of the U.S. Congress. The Senate passed implementing legislation 54 to 45 on June 30, 2005, with the House following in kind 217 to 215 on July 28, 2005. President Bush signed the legislation into law on August 2, 2005 (P.L. 109-53, 119 Stat. 462). All other countries except Costa Rica have ratified the agreement. As of August 1, 2006, the United States has implemented the agreement for El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala and will do so for the remaining two countries when they adopt the necessary regulatory and legal framework. Costa Rica stands alone in still needing legislative approval of the CAFTA-DR agreement, which is expected to occur in 2006. The CAFTA-DR is a regional agreement with all parties subject to "the same set of obligations and commitments," but with each country defining its own market access schedule. It is a reciprocal trade agreement, basically replacing U.S. unilateral preferential trade treatment extended to these countries under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA), the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA), and the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). It liberalizes trade in goods, services, government procurement, intellectual property, and investment, and addresses labor and environment issues. Most commercial and farm goods attain duty-free status immediately. Remaining trade will have tariffs phased out incrementally over five to twenty years. Duty-free treatment will be delayed longest for the most sensitive agricultural products. To address asymmetrical development and transition issues, the CAFTA-DR specifies rules for transitional safeguards, tariff rate quotas, and trade capacity building. The CAFTA-DR is not expected to have a large effect on the U.S. economy as a whole, but some sectors and groups will be affected more than others. Supporters see it as part of a policy foundation supportive of both improved intraregional trade, as well as, long-term social, political, and economic development in an area of strategic importance to the United States. Opponents wanted better trade adjustment and capacity building policies to address the potentially negative effects on certain import-competing sectors and their workers. In light of the region's poor labor standards in some cases, the perception of inadequate labor laws, and widely accepted lax enforcement, opponents also argued that the labor provisions in the CAFTA-DR needed strengthening. This report addresses the CAFTA-DR and will be updated.

Larry Storrs.
