Monitoring And Enforcement Unit

Monitoring and Enforcement Unit in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, monitoring and enforcement unit is: a unit established on 5 January 1996 and located within USTR with the task of monitoring all trade agreements to which the United States is party and of pursuing actions to enforce rights under these agreements. Priorities of the unit include barriers affecting high-volume and high-value exports, barriers affecting job creation, ensuring that United States industries are competitive, ensuring that widespread barriers in the fastest-growing and largest markets are addressed, and that small and medium-sized businesses are competitive and can expand in the global market place. See also Section-306 monitoring. Monopoly: the existence of conditions under which there is a single provider or seller of goods and services, often maintained through legislation permitting no others to perform the same activities. Monopolies can also occur through natural market development in the private sector, but they tend to be under constant threat from prospective new entrants. See also deregulation, essential facilities doctrine and re-regulation.[1]
