SUBJECT: PERU PURSUES VIGOROUS FTA IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY 
 
Summary 
------- 
1.  The Peruvian Congress approved a law by 54-38 that would 
delegate to the Executive branch the authority to legislate by 
decree on the diverse issues related to the implementation of the 
U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA).  This action is intended 
to speed implementation in order to meet the government's self 
imposed six month deadline.  In recent public remarks, President 
Garcia warned the business community that Peru's population would 
not continue supporting free trade if its benefits were not 
apparent.  End Summary. 
 
New Law Delegates Authority to Executive Branch 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
2.  On December 12, 2007, President Alan Garcia forwarded a letter 
to the President of the Congress, Luis Gonzales Posada, seeking 
Congressional consideration for legislation that delegates authority 
to the Executive branch for legislative items related to PTPA 
implementation.  Debate in Congress centered on the wisdom and 
utility of delegating legislative authority to the Executive branch. 
 Those opposed claimed Congress was (once again) abdicating its 
central responsibility for making laws; those in favor underscored 
the short timetable for PTPA implementation and the fact that 
lawmakers would soon be on recess and not reconvene until March 
2008.  After a three hour debate December 14, Congress voted by 
54-38 to support the measure.  The breakdown of those voting in 
favor:  5 Fujimoristas (all others were absent); 29 APRA; 13 Unidad 
Nacional; 3 from Grupo Especial; and 2 from Alianza Parlamentaria. 
 
Legislation 
----------- 
3.  The legislation, published December 20 in El Peruano, the 
official gazette, contains two key articles.  Article One delegates 
to the Executive branch the authority to legislate on all matters 
pertaining to the implementation of the PTPA.  Article Two 
establishes a time frame of 180 calendar days to legislate over a 
broader group of issues that are ancillary to the PTPA, but 
essential if the agreement is going to be effective.  These are: 
 - Trade facilitation; 
 - Improvement of the regulatory framework, institutional strength, 
and administrative simplification/government modernization; 
 - Improvement in the administration of justice on trade issues and 
administrative disputes; 
 - Private investment promotion; 
 - Technical innovation promotion, quality improvement, and capacity 
building; 
 - Employment and SME promotion; and 
 - Institutional strengthening of environmental capacities. 
 
4.  The content of all of the legislative modifications are supposed 
to comply with the GOP's PTPA commitments and its related annex. 
The law is slated to enter into force on January 1, 2008. 
 
5.  Delegating legislative authority for PTPA implementation to the 
Executive branch should enable the government to execute the needed 
legislative norms quickly.  The other projects, while not 
technically linked to the PTPA, are intended to help strengthen 
institutions, competitiveness, regulatory capabilities, and 
hopefully boost both investment and exports.  Garcia also proposed 
that Congress consider approving an Environment Ministry, something 
that would be useful in implementing the PTPA's important 
environmental provisions, including on forestry. 
 
Garcia Warns that People Need to See Trade Benefits 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
6.  Echoing the remarks he made after the signing ceremony in 
Washington, in numerous events around Lima this past week, President 
Garcia emphasized that the PTPA was a great opportunity for Peru and 
congratulated all those involved in negotiating and securing its 
approval.  These included, to the surprise of many, former President 
Toledo and key members of his cabinet who had worked on the 
agreement.  While citing strong public support (67%) for the PTPA, 
Garcia cautioned that the public would ned to see evidence that the 
PTPA could bring benefits to all social and economic classes, not 
just business groups.  Garcia noted it would be the responsibility 
of both the public and private sector to educate the population on 
the benefits of the PTPA, and to ensure that these were as 
widespread as possible.  In this sense, Garcia said, he wanted to 
inject a note of urgency and realism into the current mood of 
celebration.
