Requires the refund of any deposit given or duties paid pursuant to such decision by any importer before enactment of this Act.
Declares that, if before the enactment of this Act the EU imposes any increased tariffs on, or other retaliatory measures against, U.S. products in response to the March 3 decision, or in response to any increased tariffs on, or other retaliatory measures against, EU products imposed by the United States in response to the EU banana regime, then this Act shall take effect only upon the President's certification that the EU has revoked such tariffs or other measures.
