Washington, DC – The Corn Refiners Association commends the U.S. Senate’s bipartisan passage of the Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015. Trade promotion authority is instrumental to move market access negotiations forward, and the Senate’s timely action represents a critical step toward increased opportunities for American businesses, including the corn refining industry. The Corn Refiners Association urges the House of Representatives to pass the bill as soon as possible.
