Applicable percentage is rewritten as 60 percent or more
“``(I) Applicable percentage.--The term `applicable percentage' means 60 percent or more on and after December 20, 2017.''”
Section 5020 amends section 213A(b)(1)(B)(v)(I) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act to read as the quoted text, defining applicable percentage as 60 percent or more on and after December 20, 2017.
What the document actually says
“``(I) Applicable percentage.--The term `applicable percentage' means 60 percent or more on and after December 20, 2017.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The words applicable percentage have one meaning here. They mean 60 percent or more. That holds on and after December 20, 2017.
What this is about
A trade deal can turn on how much of a good comes from a set place. That share is put in words here. The words are given one fixed meaning.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
