U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE SPONSORS AMERICAN PRODUCTS LITERATURE CENTER (APLC) AT FOUR MAJOR WORLD TRADE FAIRS NOW is the time to take advantage of the expanding markets of Israel, Brazil, and the People's Republic of China for your products and services. You may participate in any or all of the following APLC's for only $400 per exhibition: MAY 21-25, 1995 TECHNOLOGY `95, TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. This international trade fair will highlight all aspects of the technology associated with high-technology industries in the instrumentation, metal, plastic, and electronic sectors, as well as environmental controls, industrial safety, robotics and lasers for material processing, work tools, and energy-saving systems. U.S. exports market share to Israel for the first ten months of 1994 reached $4.18 billion; a 12 percent increase over the same period in 1993. AUGUST 8-11, 1995, PRODUCTIVITY/INSTRUMENTATON `95, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL. This is the 10th trade fair for analytical instrumentation, process and quality controls, and electronic measuring instruments. Brazil is the largest and most industralized nation in Latin America. Official estimates indicate that its gross national product reached $447 billion in 1993. Brazil is the 10th largest economy in the world, larger than Mexico, Argentina, and Chile combined. U.S. exports to Brazil in 1993 reached $5.8 billion, an increase of 35 percent over five years. AUGUST 25-29, 1995, CHINA INSTRUMENTS 95/EMETEX 95, SHANGHAI, CHINA. This is the 4th international exhibition on analytical instrumentation, process, quality and environmental controls, and measuring and test equipment. OCTOBER 7-11, 1995, ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY `95, SHANGHAI, CHINA. This is the international exhibition on analytical instrumentation, process and environmental controls, and measuring and test equipment. Parallel to the economic growth of the People's Republic of China, environmental protection issues are gaining both attention and action. To implement these environmental projects, the Chinese Government is expected to spend 6.4 billion yaun in 1995 on a variety of pollution and environmental controls and equipment. In recent years, the People's Republic of China has had one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Its gross national product (GNP) increased over 13 percent in 1993 and is projected to continue to grow at 8-9 percent annually through the end of the century. Small wonder the World Bank's purchasing power parity evaluation of China's GNP placed China as the world's third largest economy. Between January and November 1994, Chinese imports from the United States totalled $8.5 billion, an increase of roughly 10 percent over 1993.
