参议院批准TPA为半导体产业，美国经济批准

经过John Neuffer.，总统兼首席执行官

星期五晚上，美国参议院批准了两党贸易促进当局，将促进自由贸易，促进创造就业机会，并在整个美国经济中刺激成长。SIA赞扬参议院通过这项急需的立法，并敦促代表的房子迅速行动。

The legislation was introduced in April by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and would empower U.S. trade negotiators to reach final agreements consistent with negotiating objectives laid out by Congress. It would also make our trading partners more likely to negotiate freely with the assurance that final agreements may be voted on by Congress without amendment.

最近的轮询显示对自由贸易的公共支持高于15年来。这是因为美国人认识到自由贸易对美国经济至关重要，有助于在全球范围内传播创新和商业。美国半导体行业特别依赖自由贸易，因为我们的公司严重依赖于全球材料和设备供应商，研发提供商，客户和其他利益相关者网络。

2014年，美国半导体公司销售额为17.3亿美元，代表全球半导体市场超过一半。百分之八十八分之一销售额对美国以外的客户提供。美国半导体行业直接雇用该国近250,000人，并支持100多万余产品。由于狮子的美国美国的客户在国外，自由贸易对创造和支持这些美国工作至关重要。

贸易Promotion Authority has existed for passage of nearly every U.S. free trade agreement in existence, but it expired in 2007. The United States is currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), and the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA). These important trade agreements would result in billions of dollars in global trade in semiconductor products and will enable the United States to help write the rules for 21st Century trade. Without TPA, these agreements may never see the light of day.

我们赞扬参议院批准TPA，并敦促房子迅速效仿。颁布该立法将促进半导体产业，美国经济和全球经济的增长和创新。
