WASHINGTON, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While Congress still has not actually seen any Colombia Free Trade Agreement from President Obama, Chairman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee Connie Mack (FL-14) issued the following statement: While the developments we are seeing out of the White House today are good, like with many policy decisions of this President the timing is questionable and leaves many wondering why this process has been delayed for over two years with the FTA sitting on the President's desk until two days after he announced his re- election bid.

Now that Members of Congress have ensured duty-free access for American-South American products entering our markets, they also need to ensure duty-free access for U.S. products entering South American markets. Congress has a good opportunity to take a step in that direction by approving our free trade agreement with Colombia. More than 90 percent of Colombia's exports currently enter the U.S. duty free.

The United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement will generate export opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and companies, help create jobs in the United States, and help American consumers save money while offering them more choices. The Agreement will also benefit the people of Colombia by providing economic opportunity and by strengthening democracy.
