Excerpt from Report on Medical Equipment and Pharmaceuticals Market-Oriented, Sector-Selective (Moss) Discussions: By the U. S. And Japan Moss Negotiating Teams to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Abe Secretary of State Shultz On January 2, 1985, President Reagan and Prime Minister Nakasone met in Los Angeles to discuss, among other issues, bilateral economic issues. The moss talks resulted from that meeting. On January 28 and 29, 1985, high - level officials from Japan and the United States met in Tokyo to launch the process agreed to by the President and the Prime Minister. The United States presented an approach that was market-oriented and sector - selective, with the acronym moss. The market-oriented aspect of this approach meant focusing on removing barriers that limit market access. The sector - selective aspect meant undertaking this barrier - removal within specific industrial sectors telecommunications, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, electronics, and forest products discussed by the President and the Prime Minister. The Japanese side indicated that it was willing to follow this moss approach. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated U.S. initiatives to further open Japanese markets and reduce nontariff barriers, focusing on the effects of the Market-Oriented Sector-Selective (MOSS) talks on the telecommunications and pharmaceuticals and medical equipment industries. GAO found that: (1) the telecommunications and pharmaceuticals and medical equipment sectors were particularly appropriate for negotiations under the MOSS framework, since U.S. industries in those sectors were internationally competitive and stood to gain a sizable market share in Japan if both formal and informal trade barriers were eliminated; (2) prior negotiations between the United States and Japan resulted in the identification of certain primary agenda issues and common interests, which led to the successful achievement of many of the MOSS objectives and substantial bilateral agreements in each sector; (3) although most U.S. industry and government officials were supportive of the MOSS process and pleased with the agreements reached, industry representatives generally were unable to attribute measurable increases in exports or market share directly to the MOSS process and stressed the need for continued U.S. pressure to ensure that the agreements achieved thus far yield real market opportunities; and (4) it was too soon to judge the full impact of the MOSS agreements, since reliable data were not available to develop an accurate and quantifiable determination of success.
