Stop EU Overreach Act

This bill would require the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to open a trade investigation within 30 days of becoming law. The investigation would cover whether four European Union environmental and corporate reporting rules, and any similar later rules, unfairly burden U.S. commerce when applied to U.S. companies' activities outside the EU. The USTR would have 12 months, with one possible 60-day extension, to decide whether action is warranted. If the answer is yes, the USTR would consider responses such as duties on imports or suspending trade benefits. The USTR would also report to Congress, and the requirements would end for each EU rule once the EU repeals or changes it or reaches a binding agreement exempting U.S. persons.
