PNTR đã được thông qua - TTCK sẽ có thêm đột biến mới ?

PNTR được thông qua theo em là chuyện đương nhiên rồi ạ. Thế nên tin này không gây đột biến gì đâu.
Còn hôm ký kết WTO, hội nghị APEC xong thì có đột biến là do đâu ạ? Là do khả năng quảng cáo của hội nghị APEC đấy ạ. Sau vụ Apec thì có nhiều công ty, quỹ để mắt đến VN, rồi 1 loạt các hợp đồng được ký kết, có tiền thật chảy vào. Còn như PNTR thông qua cũng thế thôi, vì mọi người đã chuẩn bị tâm lý hết rồi.

Đây là tin mới bác nè:

WASHINGTON ?"?" The US Congress early Saturday gave its final approval to a bill to restore normal trade ties with Vietnam after a delay that marred President George W. Bush?Ts maiden visit to the former enemy state.

The bill granting ?opermanent normal trade relations? (PNTR) status to Vietnam sailed through the Senate as part of an omnibus measure that was approved 79-9 during an all-night session.

The US House of Representatives voted for it 212-184 late Friday. Bush was supposed to have signed the bill into law before he left for a visit to Vietnam last month to open a new era of bilateral ties but the House failed to pass it in the absence of a required two-thirds majority.

The rejection of the bill was seen as a rebuff to Bush, coming after his Republican party lost control of Congress following a humiliating loss to Democrats. In the debate on the bill Friday, some lawmakers criticized the move to boost trade ties with Vietnam, citing what they called the communist-ruled state?Ts poor human rights record and crackdown on dissent.

?oPNTR will not be a panacea for instantaneous eradication of the challenges of human rights violations and other issues,? said Republican Representative from California, David Dreier.

But, he said, ?oby doing this, there will be further engagement that will help propel Vietnam forward in the path of political and economic reforms,? he said.

Dreier rejected suggestions that Washington was rewarding Hanoi for alleged human rights abuses.

?oThis is not a gift to them,? he said. ?oIt will increase pressure on them to live up to international norms.?

Hanoi, whose human rights record has come under frequent criticism by Western groups, is currently ineligible for PNTR because it is subject to provisions of US law which withhold the status from certain communist or ex-communist countries.

The United States typically terminates such legal provisions and grants countries PNTR as part of their accession to the World Trade Organization. Without approval of PNTR, Vietnam would still join the WTO in early 2007, but the United States would not enjoy the sharp tariff cuts and other benefits that Vietnam will grant to other WTO members.

The bill also establishes a subsidies enforcement mechanism to ensure that the US government ?oacts quickly and decisively? if Vietnam grants any prohibited subsidies to its textile and apparel industry in violation of the terms of its WTO accession.

United States Trade Representative Susan Schwab said she was pleased at the passage of the ?ocritical? legislation.

The measure would ?oafford the United States access to Vietnam?Ts fast growing market and launch a new era in the relationship between our two countries,? she said.
The US Chamber of Commerce likened the passage of the package of trade bills, including the one on Vietnam, as an early Christmas present for American companies and workers expected to benefit from enhanced trade.

?oLegislators have a chance to give American workers, companies, and consumers an early Christmas present,? said Bruce Josten, the US Chamber?Ts executive vice president for government affairs.
