OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES
TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
U.S.–EU High Level Working Group on
Jobs and Growth
Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Request for comments.
AGENCY:

At the November 28, 2011,
European Union (EU)-United States
Summit meeting, President Obama,
European Commission President
Barroso, and European Council
President Von Rompuy directed the
Transatlantic Economic Council to
establish a High Level Working Group
on Jobs and Growth, led by U.S. Trade
Representative Ron Kirk and EU Trade
Commissioner Karel De Gucht. The
Working Group was asked to identify
policies and measures to increase U.S.–
EU trade and investment to support
mutually beneficial job creation,
economic growth, and international
competitiveness. The Leaders also asked
the Working Group to work closely with
public and private sector stakeholder
groups, and to draw on existing
dialogues and mechanisms, as
appropriate.
To ensure that it has access to a wide
range of views, ideas, and options
concerning policies and measures to
increase transatlantic trade and
investment, the Working Group plans to
consult extensively with business,
nongovernmental organizations,
academia, and other stakeholders. As
part of this process, and consistent with
the Leaders’ mandate, the U.S.
Government welcomes written input
from members of the public on options
for increasing trade and investment in
areas including, but not limited to, the
following:
• Conventional barriers to trade in
goods, such as tariffs and tariff-rate
quotas;
• Reduction, elimination, or
prevention of barriers to trade in goods,
services, and investment;
• Opportunities for enhancing the
compatibility of regulations and
standards;
• Reduction, elimination, or
prevention of unnecessary ‘‘behind the
border’’ non-tariff barriers to trade in all
categories;
• Enhanced cooperation for the
development of rules and principles on
global issues of common concern and
also for the achievement of shared
economic goals relating to third
countries.
For each option or proposal that is
suggested, submissions should seek to
assess:
