Arch Chemicals Chairman Michael Campbell Calls for Ratification of Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement
06 Dicembre 2010 - 9:11PM
Michael E. Campbell, Chairman, President and CEO of Arch Chemicals,
Inc. and a long-time member of the Advisory Committee For Trade
Policy and Negotiations, today called on American companies and
workers to encourage Congress to ratify the Korea-United States
Free Trade Agreement. Trade officials from both countries just
announced that they have come to terms on issues that have held up
ratification of this agreement for almost three years.
"This is the largest free trade agreement since NAFTA, and it
will provide significant economic benefits for both countries,"
said Mr. Campbell. "It is of particular significance for
the United States because the increase in U.S. exports to Korea
will provide jobs for thousands of American workers, just when jobs
must be the most important focus of U.S. economic policy."
"This agreement confirms this Administration's commitment to
expanding jobs by opening markets for American exporters," Mr.
Campbell continued. "President Obama and U.S. Trade
Representative Kirk – along with their counterparts,
President Lee and Trade Minister Kim – are to be
congratulated for finding constructive and creative solutions to
the concerns that have held up ratification of this agreement."
Having served on the trade Advisory Committee since 2005, Mr.
Campbell was reappointed as a member by President Barack Obama in
September 2010. Mr. Campbell is also a member of the
Committee's China Task Force.
