[Soda-Ash] Delegates Seek Eu Tariff Reprieve

To help bolster American soda ash exports, the Wyoming delegation has sent a letter with other Senate and House members emphasizing the importance of eliminating an EU tariff on soda ash under a transatlantic trade agreement currently under negotiation. "This tariff barrier reduces the competitiveness of US soda ash and also harms EU industrial consumers, especially Europe's sizeable glass industry, which stands to benefit from better access to competitively-priced, high quality US soda ash," the letter said.
