Thread: Mexico's report on NAU

http://www.presidencia.gob.mx/en/press/ ... nido=31459

This is from the above link, concerning NAU and SPP, Mexico's views:

THE SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA:
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE MARCH 2006
Strengthening the Competitiveness of North America
• To lower costs for business, maximize trade and protect health, safety and the
environment, our governments completed a trilateral Regulatory Cooperation
Framework. The framework promotes information sharing among regulators and
greater compatibility of regulations and regulatory processes.

• To enhance our common efforts to protect intellectual property rights, the three
governments finalized an Action Strategy to combat trademark counterfeiting
and copyright piracy.

• To strengthen our energy security, environmental protection and economic
sustainability, our governments finalized a Trilateral Agreement for
Cooperation in Energy Science and Technology.

• To increase trade among our three countries, our governments implemented
changes to the NAFTA rules of origin by mid-2006 that covered approximately
$30 billion in annual trilateral trade. An additional set of changes, agreed to in
2007, will reduce export-related transaction costs for approximately $100 billion
in annual trilateral trade.

• To promote safety and the seamless flow of goods across our border, Canada and
the United States have agreed to the reciprocal recognition of containers used
for the transportation of dangerous goods.

• To enhance the introduction of new wireless services and technologies, Canada
and the United States have implemented a new process to expedite radio
spectrum sharing arrangements for the border regions. This ensures
citizens have timely access to the latest wireless services, and public safety and
national security authorities have the spectrum they need, when they need it.

• To improve the compatibility and reliability of critically important wireless
communications for public safety/first responders, Mexico and the United
States signed a protocol in August facilitating cross border communications.
10

• To facilitate the trade of telecommunications equipment, Canada and the
United States recognized each other's testing and certification for
telecommunications equipment. Mexico will have a process in place by the end
of 2007 to mutually accept test reports from the US and Canada. This reduces
production costs and shortens the time to bring new products to market.

• To modernize aviation relations and provide airlines with added flexibility to offer
better choices and services, the United States and Canada signed and implemented
the text of a comprehensive Open-Skies air transport agreement on March 12,
2007.

• To increase border crossing efficiency at the port of entry, the United States and
Mexico announced synchronized, extended hours of operation at the Santa
Teresa/San Jeronimo Port of Entry starting September 2007.

• As part of the North American Steel Strategy, North American governments
launched a trilateral, publicly-available North American Steel Trade Monitor
website presenting North American steel trade data on a consolidated basis.

• Mexico and the United States established a bilateral Border Facilitation
Working Group to advance in the areas of infrastructure, technology,
coordination, and stakeholder outreach and engagement while ensuring high
levels of security at our points of entry.

Improving the Safety and Security of our Citizens

• To better detect nuclear and radiological material at ports, the Mexican
government has agreed to install advanced radiological detection technology at
the ports of Lázaro Cárdenas, Altamira, Manzanillo and Veracruz. About 92
percent of Mexico’s maritime cargo passes through these ports.

• To improve surveillance at ports, Canada has completed the installation of
radiation detection equipment in Saint John, Montreal, Halifax and Deltaport in
Vancouver which, when fully operational, will screen 100 percent of inbound
containers.

• To improve the security and predictability of travel documents, Canada and
the United States approved the Recommended Standards for Secure Proof of
Status and Nationality.
11

• To enhance and strengthen cargo security programs, Canada and the United
Sates initiated a five-year program to harmonize automated commercial
information systems.
Protecting our Environment, Health and Quality of Life

• To detect, contain and control an avian influenza outbreak, and to mitigate the
impacts of a possible human influenza pandemic in North America, our
governments have finalized a North American Plan for Avian and Pandemic
Influenza.

• To promote energy efficiency, our governments have harmonized energy
performance standards for key household appliances and consumer
products, such as freezers, refrigerators and room air conditioners.

• To raise the health status of indigenous people, Canada, Mexico and the United
States exchanged information and research on various indigenous health issues,
including suicide prevention, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, diabetes and
indigenous health systems.

• To benefit our environment and quality of life, Canada and the United States
signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) aimed at improving motor vehicle
fuel efficiency. The MoC will allow the two countries to benefit from each others
knowledge and experience in the area of fuel efficiency.

• To protect the environment, enhance health of people and promote the
competitiveness of the automotive industry, Mexico started a program to gradually
increase, from 2006 to 2009, the supply of low sulphur fuels in all the country.

• To improve the ecological health of our shared marine resources, our
governments continued to expand the North American Marine Protected Areas
(MPA) Network. The Network will use our countries' marine protected areas in
the development of a tri-national MPA-based monitoring program stretching from
Baja to the Bering Strait.

• To assure the safety of consumers and the security of our food and
agriculture systems, Canada, Mexico and the United States agreed to share
current threat and vulnerability assessment methodology and information for the
food and agriculture systems, including imported and exported foods of higher
concern, then undertake joint threat and vulnerability assessments.
12

• To better inform our citizens and civil society and receive input on our
collaborative efforts under the SPP framework, the governments of Mexico and
Canada hosted seminars with academics and specialists on the three countries
as part of an ongoing public policy consultation process regarding the future of
North America.

It looks like the August 20th 2007 meeting for the SPP in Canada was important enough to "finalize" alot of Mexico's agenda. Didn't Bush say Americans are spinning it into a "comical conspiracy"?

This is all about Canada and the USA "funding" Mexico!

They can't fix their country because they are too corrupt and the rich threaten to leave Mexico if taxed more.....so we are to take care of them!

It's a bunch of BS!

Its to bad we can't read between the lines I guaratee you this is not all there is to it!!

How can anyone not see how sickeningly transparent the elitist/corporate agenda has become. We MUST, MUST, MUST, throw a cog in this giant America destroying machinery before it's too late!

To improve the compatibility and reliability of critically important wireless
communications for public safety/first responders, Mexico and the United
States signed a protocol in August facilitating cross border communications.

Surely this must be music the the ears to Carlos "Slim" Helu, whose wireless wealth pushed to the top of the "world richest" list.
