 PUBLIC LAW 98-67 —AUG. 5, 1983 97 STAT. 389 19 USC 1202. (i) sugars, sirups, and molasses provided for in items 155.20 and 155.30 of the TSUS, and (ii) articles of beef or veal, however provided for in sub- part B of part 2 of schedule 1 of the TSUS. (B) The term "Plan" means a stable food production plan that "Plan." consists of measures and proposals designed to ensure that the present level of food production in, and the nutritional level of the population of, a beneficiary country will not be adversely affected by changes in land use and land ownership that will result if increased production of sugar and beef products is undertaken in response to the duty-free treatment extended under this title to such products. A Plan must specify such facts regarding, and such proposed actions by, a beneficiary country as the President deems necessary for purposes of carrying out this subsection, including but not limited to— (i) the current levels of food production and nutritional health of the population; (ii) current level of production and export of sugar and beef products; (iii) expected increases in production and export of sugar and beef products as a result of the duty-free access to the United States market provided under this title; (iv) measures to be taken to ensure that the expanded production of those products because of such duty-free access will not occur at the expense of stable food produc- tion; and (v) proposals for a system to monitor the impact of such duty-free access on stable food production and land use and land ownership patterns. (2) Duty-free treatment extended under this title to sugar and beef Suspension products that are the product of a beneficiary country shall be suspended by the President under this subsection if— (A) the beneficiary country, within the ninety-day period beginning on the date of its designation as such a country under section 212, does not submit a Plan to the President for evalua- tion; (B) on the basis of his evaluation, the President determines that the Plan of a beneficiary country does not meet the criteria set forth in paragraph (I)(B); or (C) as a result of the monitoring of the operation of the Plan under paragraph (5), the President determines that a beneficiary country is not making a good faith effort to implement its Plan, or that the measures and proposals in the Plan, although being implemented, are not achieving their purposes. (3) Before the President suspends duty-free treatment by reason of paragraph (2)(A), (B), or (C) to the sugar and beef products of a beneficiary country, he must offer to enter into consultation with the beneficiary country for purposes of formulating appropriate remedi- al action which may be taken by that country to avoid such suspen- sion. If the beneficiary country thereafter enters into consultation within a reasonable time and undertakes to formulate remedial action in good faith, the President shall withhold the suspension of duty-free treatment on the condition that the remedial action agreed upon be appropriately implemented by that country.
