Labor Department Reports for the U.S. — Peru Trade Promotion Agreement

Per the Trade Act of 2002 [sections 2102(c)(5), 2102(c)(8) and 2102(c)(9)] and subsequent delegations of responsibilities that it creates, ILAB prepares for Congress three reports for every country with which the United States intends to establish a free trade agreement: a U.S. employment impact report, a report on the labor rights situation in our proposed partner country, and a report on laws governing exploitative child labor in the partner.

The Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA)

The Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) was enacted in 1991 to combat drug production and trafficking in the Andean countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The program offers trade benefits to help these countries develop and strengthen legitimate industries. ATPA was expanded under the Trade Act of 2002 by the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act. Section 207 of the ATPA requires the Secretary of Labor, in consultation with other appropriate federal agencies, to undertake a continuing review and analysis of the impact of the implementation of the ATPA on U.S. labor. The legislation also directs the Secretary to submit an annual report to the Congress that presents a summary of the results of the review and analysis.

The United States – Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA) entered into force on February 1, 2009. The PTPA made permanent some benefits similar to the ones that Peru received under the ATPA and further liberalized trade with the United States in other areas. Because the PTPA did not entirely supplant the ATPA, Peru remained a designated beneficiary country of the ATPA until December 31, 2010. As a result, the 18th annual report is the last report in this series that includes Peru.
