175.Differing treatment of different countries desiring certification is also observable in the differences in the levels of effort made by the United States in transferring the required TED technology to specific countries. Far greater efforts to transfer that technology successfully were made to certain exporting countries— basically the fourteen wider Caribbean/western Atlantic countries cited earlier— than to other exporting countries, including the appellees. The level of these efforts is probably related to the length of the “phase-in” periods granted — the longer the “phase-in” period, the higher the possible level of efforts at technology transfer. Because compliance with the requirements of certification realistically assumes successful TED technology transfer, low or merely nominal efforts at achieving that transfer will, in all probability, result in fewer countries being able to satisfy the certification requirements under Section 609, within the very limited “phase-in” periods allowed them.
