The Dow Chemical Company welcomes today’s announcement on the
completion of the comprehensive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
negotiations. The countries involved in TPP represent 40 percent of
the global economy and are critical markets for American exporters
and investors.
“On behalf of Dow, I commend Ambassador Mike Froman and his
entire team for their leadership in concluding the Trans-Pacific
Partnership negotiations,” said Andrew N. Liveris, Dow’s chairman
and chief executive officer. “TPP is a critical trade agreement for
U.S. exporters like Dow. This landmark agreement will eliminate
unnecessary trade barriers, strengthen America’s manufacturing base
and further open important markets.”
The conclusion of the TPP negotiations is a tangible example of
America’s leadership in the global rules-based trading
system. Dow looks forward to the public review of the
wide-ranging commitments in TPP. This will demonstrate the
opportunities for American exporters and investors to develop new
commercial opportunities in these fast growing markets.
