Enhancing the Global Competitiveness of North America
The North American Free Trade Agreement has been a tremendous mutual success in
strengthening our economies and in enhancing the competitiveness of North America. In
a rapidly changing global economy, we must build on NAFTA’s success and reduce
unnecessary trade barriers to ensure North America remains a competitive and a dynamic
place to do business. To this end, the Regulatory Cooperation Framework will enable us
to develop regulatory approaches that are compatible across our borders, while
maintaining high standards of health, safety and environmental protection. In the coming
year, we ask our ministers to consider work in areas, such as the chemicals, automotive,
transportation, and information and communications technology sectors. The Intellectual
Property Action Strategy also gives us an invaluable tool for combating counterfeiting
and piracy, which undermine innovation, harm economic development and can have
negative public-health and safety implications. We also ask our ministers to implement
the Strategy and take concrete steps to strengthen our ability to combat counterfeiting and
piracy in North America.

We are strongly committed to advancing multilateral trade liberalization through a
successful, comprehensive and ambitious conclusion to the WTO Doha Round of
negotiations. We endorse the work of our trade ministers in Vancouver on June 13-14,
2007 to build on NAFTA’s success and advance our shared interests in the Doha Round.
We ask them to renew their efforts, working with their WTO colleagues, to achieve a
balanced outcome that results in meaningful increases in trade in goods and services and
improvements in global trading conditions.

1. Pathetic

DU'ers can go on for days using their energy namecalling and pushing the ignore button.

It is FUCKING PATHETIC that no one responded to this. It's your kids' future I'm talking about here.

The lack of vision has brought us to the moment where this subject had to be posted.

If you don't get it, just remember that many of us knew about global warming 30 years ago and started the fight.

Look how long it took us to get a voice.

Now, the SPP is looming before all you young people. You had better get started.

PATHETIC!
