Referred to the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance.
Declares that, until the certification required by this Act is made, no national of a European Community (EC) member country shall be eligible to perform testing for compliance, or to certify compliance of products produced outside the United States with any standard or requirement of specified provisions of the Communications Act of 1934.
Requires those restrictions to remain effective until the Secretary of Commerce certifies to appropriate congressional committees that the EC is setting product standards and requirements in an open and fair manner and has established equitable rules for testing and certifying products for compliance with standards and requirements of the EC by laboratories in non-EC member countries.
