He proposes a five point plane for a new "anti-piracy surge" to combat the problem:
- Use free trade agenda to force countries to comply with intellectual property rights
- Provide adequate resources for overseas training and education;
- Ensure that the US agencies charged with negotiating and enforcing trade agreements have sufficient resources;
- Improve our laws to require foreign governments to improve their compliance, especially if they are the beneficiaries of US preferential market access treatment
- Increased congressional oversight to hold US officials charged with enforcing our trade agreements accountable for their decisions.
