under AGOA in October 2000, who can avail new GSP benefits

"Kenya has certified as a beneficiary (to the AGOA) late last
year and as a result textile exports to the United States
jumped to $27 million in the first seven months of the year
from 7.2 million the same period last year...But under AGOA
terms the country's certification is reviewed annually,
depending on to what extent the government is perceived to be
pursuing sound economic reforms, respecting the rule of law,
promoting human rights and fighting corruption." |
