NEW YORK, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States Council for International Business (USCIB) welcomes outcomes from the WTO 13th Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi on two key objectives for U.S. industry: a two-year extension of the moratorium on customs duties on electronic transmissions and a rejection of efforts to waive intellectual property protections for COVID-19 diagnostics and therapeutics.

Key Points: 
  • "USCIB is similarly pleased that the WTO failed to extend a TRIPS waiver to diagnostics and therapeutics, a move that would have undermined innovative industries, global health security and international rule of law."
  • USCIB joined the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), for which it serves as the U.S. national committee, in welcoming the move.
  • "USCIB looks forward to working with the WTO to deliver outcomes in these sectors favorable to U.S. industry," said Baird.
  • "As the cornerstone for open, fair and reliable global trade, the WTO is too important to industry to fail."

CHICAGO, Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Illinois utilities would be prohibited from charging customers potentially tens of millions of dollars for self-serving purposes to increase their political power and advance their agenda, including goodwill advertising, political-issue campaigns and bankrolling high-priced legal teams working to win rate hikes against consumers, under legislation supported by the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) and AARP Illinois.

Key Points: 
  • Three other states have passed similar reform legislation over the past year—including Connecticut, Colorado and Maine.
  • CUB estimates the Illinois legislation could, for the average year, save ratepayers across Illinois more than $50 million, based on documents the utilities filed with their most recent rate cases.
  • "I am proud to sponsor a bill that will hold utilities accountable and result in lower rates."
  • "This is part of Illinois' continued effort to protect rate-paying customers from egregious utility rates," said State Senator Glowiak Hilton.
