A long term goal of the United States is to
achieve free and fair trade. In pursuit of this goal, the U.S. Government
will seek to negotiate and implement agreements with other nations that
define principles of free and fair trade for commercial space launch
services, limit certain government supports and unfair practices in the
international market, and establish criteria regarding participation by space
launch industries in countries in transition from a non-market to a market
economy.

(a)
|
International space launch trade agreements
in which the U.S. is a party must allow for effective means of enforcement.
The range of options available to the U.S. must be sufficient to deter and,
if necessary, respond to non-compliance and provide effective relief to the U.S.
commercial space launch industry. Agreements must not constrain the ability
of the United States to take any action consistent with U.S. laws and
regulations.

(b)
|
International space launch trade agreements
in which the U.S. is a party must be in conformity with U.S. obligations
under arms control agreements, U.S. nonproliferation policies, U.S.
technology transfer policies, and U.S. policies regarding observance of the
Guidelines and Annex of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
