Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the Senate that the current policies of the Government of Brazil toward the informatics industry (computer software and related equipment and services) impose an unreasonable burden on commerce and have worsened since the initiation of an investigation of such policies under the Trade Act of 1974. Supports the action announced by the President to raise tariffs against certain Brazilian products and to prohibit imports of certain Brazilian informatics products.
