The eighth report also covers other important developments respecting the trade agreements program during 1954-55. These include the further extension and amendment of the United States trade agreements legislation, and major developments relating to the General Agreement--consultations and discussions under its general provisions, the general review of the General Agreement that the Contracting Parties conducted at their Ninth Session, and the agreement that they concluded on the proposed Organization for Trade Cooperation. Like earlier reports in the series, the eighth report also discusses the actions of the United States relating to its trade agreements program, and the changes in tariffs, exchange controls, and quantitative trade restrictions that were made by countries with which the United States has trade agreements.
