The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president
and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, in response to
the Senate’s passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)
legislation:
“We thank the Senate for passing TPA legislation to support the
hundreds of thousands of American small- and medium-sized
businesses that export products, creating new markets and driving
U.S. economic growth.
“This legislation provides a much needed, balanced package that
takes into account the realities of the digital economy and
Internet era. This and all future trade agreements must balance
intellectual property rights and an open-and-fair flow of commerce,
helping to ensure our country’s strong, sustained economic
growth.
“Americans thrive on trade and relish competition—we are not
isolationists. Free trade encourages innovation and opens new
markets to American manufacturers. We now urge House members to
swiftly pass TPA legislation and keep our country strong.”
