(a) Overall Negotiating Objective.— The President shall seek in the renegotiations provided for tn part IX, paragraph 6, of the Agreement more open and equitable market access abroad, and the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of devices which distort trade or commerce related to Government procurement, with the overall goal of maximizing the economic benefit to the United States through maintaining and enlarging foreign markets for products of United States agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce, the development of fair and equitable market opportunities, and open and nondiscriminatory world trade. In carrying out the provisions of this subsection, the President shall consider the assessment made in the report required under section 306(a). (b) Sector Negotiating Objectives.— The President shall seek, consistent with the overall objective set forth in subsection (a) and to the maximum extent feasible, with respect to appropriate product sectors, competitive opportunities for the export of United States products to the developed countries of the world equivalent to the competitive opportunities afforded by the United States, taking into account all barriers to, and other distortions of, international trade affecting that sector. (c) Independent Verification Objective.— The President shall seek to establish in the renegotiation provided for in part IX, paragraph 6, of the Agreement a system for independent verification of information provided by parties to the Agreement to the Committee on Government Procurement pursuant to part VI, paragraph 9, of the Agreement.

Taking into account the objectives set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section and the factors required to be analyzed under section 302(c), the President shall further report to such committees appropriate actions to seek reciprocity in such product sectors with such countries in the area of government procurement. (2) Legislative recommendations.— Taking into account the factors required to be analyzed under section 302(c), the President may recommend to the Congress legislation ( with respect to entities of the Government which are not covered by the Agreement) which may prohibit such entities from purchasing products of such countries. (3) Annual reports.— Each annual report of the President under section 163(a) of the Trade Act of 1974 made after the date 19 USC 2213. of enactment of this Act shall report the actions, if any, the President deemed appropriate to establish reciprocity in appropriate product sectors with major industrial countries in the area of government procurement. (e) Extension of Nondiscrimination and National Treatment.— Before exercising the waiver authority in section 301 for procurement not covered by the Agreement on the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall follow the consultation provisions of section 135 and chapter 6 of title I of the Trade Act of 1974 for private 19 USC 2155, 2211. sector and congressional consultations.
