Sense of Congress (a) Ongoing process It is the sense of the Congress that the Kim- berley Process Certification Scheme, officially launched on January 1, 2003, is an ongoing proc- ess. The President should work with Partici- pants to strengthen the Kimberley Process Cer- tification Scheme through the adoption of meas- ures for the sharing of statistics on the produc- tion of and trade in rough diamonds, and for monitoring the effectiveness of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in stemming trade in diamonds the importation or exportation of which is not controlled through the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. (b) Statistics and reporting It is the sense of the Congress that under Annex III to the Kimberley Process Certifi- cation Scheme, Participants recognized that re- liable and comparable data on the international trade in rough diamonds are an essential tool for the effective implementation of the Kim- berley Process Certification Scheme. Therefore, the executive branch should continue to— (1) keep and publish statistics on imports and exports of rough diamonds under sub- headings 7102.10.00, 7102.21, and 7102.31.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States; (2) make these statistics available for anal- ysis by interested parties and by Participants; and (3) take a leadership role in negotiating a standardized methodology among Participants for reporting statistics on imports and exports of rough diamonds.
