Duty-free access to US markets could be cut if Copyright Amendment Bill is passed

In April the office of the US trade representative released its Special 301 Report watch list, an annual review of the state of intellectual property protection in the US’s trading partners. SA was not flagged on the watch list.

Complaints about the bill triggered the review of SA’s GSP status. The government has argued that the review is premature since the president has not yet signed the bill into law — a valid argument. Until he does so there are no grounds for the US to penalise SA pre-emptively. Even so, that is no reason to continue to bet the national economy on an unconstitutional bill.
