Sec. 2114. Sector negotiating objectives


(a) Obtaining equivalent competitive opportunities

    A principal United States negotiating objective under sections 2111 
and 2112 of this title shall be to obtain, to the maximum extent 
feasible, with respect to appropriate product sectors of manufacturing, 
and with respect to the agricultural sector, competitive opportunities 
for United States exports to the developed countries of the world 
equivalent to the competitive opportunities afforded in United States 
markets to the importation of like or similar products, taking into 
account all barriers (including tariffs) to and other distortions of 
international trade affecting that sector.

(b) Conduct of negotiations on basis of appropriate product sectors of 
        manufacturing

    As a means of achieving the negotiating objective set forth in 
subsection (a) of this section, to the extent consistent with the 
objective of maximizing overall economic benefit to the United States 
(through maintaining and enlarging foreign markets for products of 
United States agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce, through the 
development of fair and equitable market opportunities, and through open 
and nondiscriminatory world trade), negotiations shall, to the extent 
feasible be conducted on the basis of appropriate product sectors of 
manufacturing.

(c) Identification of appropriate product sectors of manufacturing

    For the purposes of this section and section 2155 of this title, the 
United States Trade Representative together with the Secretary of 
Commerce, Agriculture, or Labor, as appropriate, shall, after 
consultation with the Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations 
established under section 2155 of this title and after consultation with 
interested private or non-Federal governmental organizations, identify 
appropriate product sectors of manufacturing.

(d) Presidential analysis of how negotiating objectives are achieved in 
        each product sector by trade agreements

    If the President determines that competitive opportunities in one or 
more product sectors will be significantly affected by a trade agreement 
concluded under section 2111 or 2112 of this title he shall submit to 
the Congress with each such agreement an analysis of the extent to which 
the negotiating objective set forth in subsection (a) of this section is 
achieved by such agreement in each product sector or product sectors.
