Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association issued the following statement in response to the bipartisan “U.S. – Republic of Korea Digital Trade Enforcement Act,” (Representatives Carol Miller (R-WV), Vicente Gonzales (D-TX), Rudy Yakym (R-IN), and Max Miller (R-OH) reintroduced Thursday, which would require the United States Trade Representative to report and respond to evidence of discriminatory Korean practices that may be inconsistent with free-trade commitments between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea.
The following quote can be attributed to Jonathan McHale, Vice President of Digital Trade at CCIA:
“We are pleased to see members focus on investigating discriminatory policies that disproportionately target U.S. companies in the digital space. Guaranteeing fair access to the Korean market for U.S. digital services is the foundation of a strong and durable economic and security partnership between the United States and Korea that benefits both countries.”
