## What the amendments focus on

A legislative dossier on the elimination of customs duties on certain products. The amendments concern Parliament's first-reading position, including a variant rejecting the Commission proposal, and condition the elimination of duties on the United States abstaining from new measures against the European Union that undermine the Joint Statement of 21 August 2020, with the Commission empowered to suspend the elimination by implementing act if the United States fails to comply.
