Mr Speaker. I rise in support of House Joint Resolution 512. which extends mostfavorednation treatment to the products of Romania. Romania has not received MFN treatment since 1988 when the Romanian Government decided to renounce renewal of MFN treatment subject to the freedom of emigration requirements. Accordingly. the President allowed the waiver of those requirements to expire and issued a proclamation withdrawing MFN treatment. which had been in effect for Romania since A new bilateral commercial agreement including reciprocal nondiscriminatory treatment was signed with Romania in April of this year in response to Romanias progress toward democratic and economic reform. The President has also waived freedom of emigration requirements in response to assurances from the Romanian Government about its emigration practices. Mr. Speaker.
