In reaction to announcement regarding the current state of trade negotiations, National Cotton Council Chairman John Pucheu commended United States Trade Representative (USTR) Ambassador Susan Schwab and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Mike Johanns for their continuing efforts to obtain an ambitious and balanced Doha agreement.
“Market access gains commensurate with reductions in domestic support are critical for a successful completion of the agricultural negotiations,” Pucheu said.
“It is encouraging that U.S. negotiators have held to the principles of the U.S. proposal. The U.S. cotton industry expresses its thanks for the leadership shown by the U.S. representatives to obtain international consensus for a completion of the Round.”
