Fed: Govt to support ALP amendments on FTA
CANBERRA, Aug 12 AAP - The government will support Labor's amendments to the free trade
agreement (FTA) with the United States despite concerns about the impact of the changes,
Prime Minister John Howard said today.
"The government has decided that the commonsense thing to do is to support the amendments,
but warn, as I do, that the enabling legislation could be construed by the Americans as
inconsistent with the free trade agreement," Mr Howard told reporters.
