102 STAT. 4279
"(C) A country which in the previous year was designated as a major illicit drug producing country or a major drug-transit country may not be determined to be cooperating fully under subparagraph (A)(i) unless it has in place a bilateral narcotics agreement with the United States or a multilateral agreement which achieves the objectives of subparagraph (B). "(D) If the President makes a certification with respect to a country pursuant to subparagraph (A)(ii), he shall include in such certification— "(i) a full and complete description of the vital national interests placed at risk if United States bilateral assistance to that country is terminated pursuant to this subsection and multilateral development bank assistance is not provided to such country; and "(ii) a statement weighing the risk described in clause (i) against the risks posed to the vital national interests of the United States by the failure of such country to cooperate fully with the United States in combating narcotics or to take adequate steps to combat narcotics on its own. "(E) The President may make a certification under subparagraph (A)(i) with respect to a major illicit drug producing country or major drug-transit country which is also a producer of licit opium only if the President determines that such country has taken steps to prevent significant diversion of its licit cultivation and production into the illicit market, maintains production and stockpiles at levels no higher than those consistent with licit market demand, and prevents illicit cultivation and production. "(3) MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED.—In determining whether to President of U.S. make the certification required by paragraph (2) with respect to a country, the President shall consider the following: "(A) Have the actions of the government of that country resulted in the maximum reductions in illicit drug production which were determined to be achievable pursuant to subsection (e)(4)? In the case of a major illicit drug producing country, the President shall give foremost consideration, in determining whether to make the determination required by paragraph (2), to whether the government of that country has taken actions which have resulted in such reductions. "(B) Has that government taken the legal and law enforcement measures to enforce in its territory, to the maximum extent possible, the elimination of illicit cultivation and the suppression of illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic drugs and other controlled substances, as evidenced by seizures of such drugs and substances and of illicit laboratories and the arrest and prosecution of violators involved in the traffic in such drugs and substances significantly affecting the United States? "(C) Has that government taken the legal and law enforcement steps necessary to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, the laundering in that country of drugrelated profits or drug-related moneys, as evidenced by— "(i) the enactment and enforcement by that government of laws prohibiting such conduct.
