Sec. 3107. Compensation authority

    If--
        (1) the President has taken action under section 3105(a) of this 
    title with respect to any foreign country, and
        (2) such action is found to be inconsistent with the 
    international obligations of the United States, including the WTO 
    Agreement and the multilateral trade agreements (as such terms are 
    defined in paragraphs (9) and (4), respectively, of section 3501 of 
    this title),

the President may enter into trade agreements with such foreign country 
for the purpose of granting new concessions as compensation for such 
action in order to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually 
advantageous concessions.
