India Retained In US Priority Watch List
India continues to be in the "priority watch list" (PWL) under the "special 301" provision of the
US Trade Act, 1974 on grounds of inadequate protection of American intellectual property. But any action from the US
Trade Representative (USTR) Office was expected only after India had been placed in the "priority foreign
country" (PFC) list, after consultations, said commerce ministry officials. As per the annual special 301 report
for 2003, released by USTR, India has been retained in the PWL along with ten other countries. The others are Argentina,
Bahamas, Brazil, European Union, Indonesia, Lebanon, The Philippines, Poland, Russia and Taiwan. Canadian Minister Feels
