A week or so ago, IATP posted in its news about our clean air laws violating
GATT.  Here is another:
TELECOM BILL COULD VIOLATE GATT. Provisions in the Dingell-Brooks bill to
allow the regional Bell companies to manufacture telecommunications
equipment will be viewed as a violation of the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade by some U.S. trading partners, warns U.S. Trade Representative
Mickey Kantor. The problems lies in a provision to cap the value of foreign
parts in the equipment at 40% of the final price. The bill recently
introduced in the Senate contains similar language, but despite Mr.
Kantor's appeals, the bills are unlikely to change. (Wall Street Journal
