United States Trade Representative (USTR)
 
November 19, 2001
 

• The USTR has issued an invitation for public comment throughout the Western Hemisphere on all aspects of the FTAA, including the preliminary draft consolidated texts of the FTAA Agreement, released on July 3, 2001; the on-going FTAA negotiations; and the FTAA process in general. Submissions in response to the Invitation should be sent directly to the FTAA. Public comment is welcome on an ongoing basis. However, in order for submissions to be reflected in a report to the FTAA Ministers for their seventh meeting in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2002, submissions must be received by the Chairperson of the FTAA Civil Society Committee no later than May 1, 2002. Contributions can be submitted by e-mail, fax, courier or postal mail. It is highly recommended that contributions be submitted via e-mail or via electronic format (i.e. 3.5 diskette containing submission). For more information, please visit the USTR Web site, www.ustr.gov, or the FTAA Web site at www.ftaa-alca.org.
