The following changes since the original release of the 1996 NTE
should now be considered as part of the document:
Where the section titled - Apple Import Permits now
reads:
-
The Government of Guatemala agreed during its GATT accession and in its
Uruguay Round commitments
U.S. companies have cited the uncertainty of obtaining a license as the
reason they have not expanded their investment to distribute U.S. apples. The
result is an estimated $ 1 million in lost export sales.
It should be changed to read:
-
The Government of Guatemala agreed during its GATT accession and in its
Uruguay Round negotiations to eliminate apple import licensing requirements
effective January 1, 1995. This has not occurred. Although the government has
continued to issue permits, several U.S. companies have cited the uncertainty of
obtaining a license as the reason they have not expanded investment to
distribute U.S. apples. The result is an estimated USD 1 million in lost export
sales.
