We disciplined Romania once this year by removing it from eligibility under the generalized system of preferences for violations of workers rights. Another sanction at this time. I believe. is unwise. My view is that the current process of an annual MFN review with a close monitoring of emigration is far more effective in achieving our goals than a sudden abrogation of the MFN agreement would be. I urge my colleagues to vote "no" on the Wolf amendment. As noted earlier. the Wolf amendment would entirely eliminate our ability to influence now and in the future the treatment of the people who we seek to help and who are now suffering in Romania.
