Timothy Wirth, the U.S. Undersecretary of State for global affairs, who earned high praise for helping guide the initially fractious group toward agreement, called the consensus a rare victory for the U.N.

The statute, the judges said, "contemplates an apparent as well as an actual independence...
...says Ford vice president Tom Wagner, who heads the automaker's customer-satisfaction operations. Chrysler sales vice president Tom Pappert agrees: "We have got to get away from intimidation. Even for people who don't mind shopping and bargain hunting, it's the distrust factor that causes the heartburn...
