FINDINGS

Pub. L. 107-210, div. C, title XXXI, §31023102,, 116 Stat. 1023, provided that: "Congress makes the following findings:

"(1) Since the Andean Trade Preference Act [ 19 U.S.C. 3201 et seq.] was enacted in 1991, it has had a positive impact on United States trade with Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Two-way trade has doubled, with the United States serving as the leading source of imports and leading export market for each of the Andean beneficiary countries. This has resulted in increased jobs and expanded export opportunities in both the United States and the Andean region.
