The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) has responded to the newly introduced "U.S. – Republic of Korea Digital Trade Enforcement Act." The legislation, brought forward by Representative Carol Miller (R-WV), seeks to have the United States Trade Representative address and report on discriminatory practices in Korea that may contravene free-trade agreements between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea.
The CCIA expressed support for Congress's efforts to address regulatory practices that they believe unfairly target U.S. companies. A spokesperson for the CCIA stated, "Ensuring that U.S. digital services are given fair market access protects the strong US-Korea economic and security relationship that is mutually beneficial to both nations."
