Countries Designated Under the Caribbean Basin Economy Recovery Act

AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.

ACTION: Renewal of preferential treatment extended to CBI beneficiaries 
under section 1-201 of Executive Order 12260 of December 31, 1980.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the authority delegated to me by the President in 
section 1-201 of Executive Order 12260 of December 31, 1980, I hereby 
direct that products of countries and territories, listed below, 
designated by the President as beneficiaries under the Caribbean Basin 
Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), shall continue to be 
treated as eligible products for purposes of section 1-101 of Executive 
Order 12260 until September 30, 1996. Such treatment shall not apply to 
products originating in these countries that are excluded from duty 
free treatment under 19 U.S.C. 2703(b). Eligibility for preferential 
treatment shall continue to be conditioned on the beneficiary retaining 
its status as such under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. 
Subsequent renewal of this treatment beyond September 30, 1996, will be 
subject to progress made by individual beneficiaries in initiating and 
pursuing negotiations to accede to the WTO Government Procurement 
Agreement.

DATES: This renewal is effective on September 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600 17th
