Foreword

This, the 10th report of the United States Tariff Commission on the operation of the trade agreements program, covers the period from July 1, 1956, through June 30, 1957. The 10th report has been prepared in conformity with the provisions of section 3 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1955 and Executive Order 10082 of October 5, 1949. Section 3 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1955 requires the Tariff Commission to submit to the Congress, at least once a year, a factual report on the operation of the trade agreements program. Before the passage of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1955, various Executive orders had directed the Commission to prepare similar annual reports and to submit them to the President and to the Congress. The latest of such orders--Executive Order 10082 of October 5, 1949--is still in effect.

During the period covered by the 10th report, the Contracting Parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade did not sponsor any multilateral tariff negotiations.

The report describes these negotiations and analyzes the concessions that the United States granted to and obtained from Cuba, as well as the compensatory concessions that it granted to the United Kingdom and to Belgium.

The 10th report also covers other important developments during 1956-57 with respect to the trade agreements program. These include
