ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab welcomes the passage of bipartisan legislation in the U.S. Senate
to establish permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with Russia.
"We commend the House and now the Senate for their approval of the
legislation, and encourage swift action from the President," said Ecolab
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Douglas M. Baker, Jr.
Ecolab supports enactment of PNTR with Russia given the size of the
Russian economy and the considerable export opportunities that this
presents for U.S. companies.
