(FORMERLY KNOWN AS VDMA WASHINGTON, INC.) | 2022 | second_quarter | TRD | In addition to the tariff issues mentioned in the previous section, Mr. Bengali has also lobbied on several other issues related to trade for the VDMA in Q2. Mr. Bengali has held several discussions with staffers at the USTR, DOC, and to a lesser extent, the Senate and the House, on the issue of achieving an agreement between the U.S. and EU to mutually recognize each other's conformity assessment results for machinery and industrial equipment products, as such an agreement would greatly benefit VDMA member companies. Mr. Bengali has also discussed the importance of reforming the WTO and how the WTO's Appellate Body reinstation would be beneficial to VDMA member companies, to staffers at USTR, House, and Senate. In addition, as it related to the October Section 232 tariff agreement between the U.S. and EU, in which both expressed a willingness to achieve a joint Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Mr. Bengali has expressed to staffers at USTR, Senate, and House, how if a CBAM was put in place, it must be between like-minded countries like the EU and U.S., and not just one nation going at it alone, as a joint CBAM effort would be more beneficial to VDMA members compared to individual CBAMs. In addition, although the U.S. and EU achieved an agreement to suspend the long-running aircraft subsidy dispute in 2021, Mr. Bengali has also expressed to staffers at the USTR that the dispute should be completely resolved. | Commerce, Dept of (DOC),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) | 15000 | 0 | 0 | 2022-07-11T14:46:03-04:00 |
