CEA: Senate Passage of TPA Essential to U.S. Economy, Innovation

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, in response to the Senate passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation:

“Kudos to the Senate for passing TPA legislation. It is a common sense bill, which simply guarantees a vote on trade agreements and directs our trade negotiators to balance intellectual property rights with an open-and-fair flow of commerce. We thank the senators who voted for TPA. You are friends of innovation, technology, jobs and a more peaceful world.

“Thanks to members of both houses who worked hard to reach a bipartisan compromise and supported this bill. We thank the administration for making trade and TPA passage a priority, and look forward to President Obama signing the legislation.”
