TPA will strengthen U.S. economy and ensure future trade deals
create opportunities for U.S. exporters and investors
The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) welcomes the passage of The
Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of
2015. This bipartisan and modernized Trade Promotion Authority
(TPA) legislation is an important next step in strengthening the
U.S. economy and serves as a necessary element to drive America's
leadership of the global rules-based trading system.
"Congress has taken an important step forward to improve
America's global competitiveness," said Andrew N. Liveris, Dow's
chairman and chief executive officer. "TPA will help create jobs
and drive economic growth, and is a critical component of our
broader trade agenda. As the largest chemical manufacturer in the
United States and as a member of the President's Export Council,
Dow remains committed to promoting increased American exports and
economic prosperity."
TPA will ensure that future trade deals, including the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP), will meet these high standards and
create opportunities for American exporters and investors to access
the growing global middle class of consumers around the world.
We commend the leadership in both Chambers of the U.S. Congress
and look forward to the President signing this critical legislation
in a timely manner.
