摘要:
On April 9, 2019, the United States and Peru reached a resolution regarding concerns about Peru's forest sector obligations under the 2007 United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA). At issue was Peru's relocation of the Agency for the Supervision of Forest Resources and Wildlife (OSINFOR) to a subordinate position in its Ministry of Environment in December 2018. The United States requested consultations under the PTPA on the ground that this relocation conflicted with a provision in the Environment Chapter's Annex on Forest Sector Governance (Forest Annex), which states that OSINFOR shall be an independent and separate agency. Following the consultations, Peru agreed to restore OSINFOR to its original location within the Peruvian government.
