Providence, R.I.—The federal government has recognized Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) for its efforts in promoting the USA Pavilion at Joya 2005 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration Christopher Padilla presented a certificate of export achievement to MJSA President Frank Dallahan and MJSA Chairman Michael Akkaoui at the association's Providence headquarters on Nov. 3.

During his visit, which also included a roundtable discussion with association members, Padilla praised the MJSA's proactive approach to promoting fair trade. He also spoke about the current review of trade agreements that allows some countries to export jewelry to the United States duty-free, and he encouraged the MJSA to stay involved in the issue.

Padilla cited the recent Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) as an example of how domestic companies can influence international trade policies. CAFTA regulates tariffs in the Americas and includes provisions for intellectual property protection.
