Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on: (1) the tariff reductions negotiated and provisions for creation of a private dispute settlement mechanism for Florida fruit and vegetable products under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); (2) safeguard provisions available to U.S. producers; (3) U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty remedies available to combat other countries' unfair trade practices; and (4) assistance available to workers and communities under two NAFTA-related programs: the NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) program and the U.S. Community Adjustment and Investment Program under the North American Development Bank.
