Dow Commends Congressional Passage of TPA Legislation
June 26, 2015 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.
