SPS International Agreements

the latest U.S. scientific standards under all kinds of situations (accident, sickness and other abnormal situations). The study should take into account the maximum and minimum negotiating positions with special regard to what can be achieved under current or near-term SPS technology and the effects that more stringent exposure standards may have on value losses (costs and other considerations) . The assessment of the U.S. negotiating position should include a projected listing of whatever hard choices may have to be made between competing values and preferences. C. An additional area for study would be to assess the problems to be encountered and the best ways of overcoming them in the effort to enlist the support of international nongovernmental and governmental organizations for the SPS. This study should include a consideration of the relevant activities of these organizations and the extent and ways in which these organizations and their activities would be effected by the SPS. The study should examine the benefits expected to be derived from the SPS and point out some of the hard choices that may have to be made especially with respect to priorities.
