Popis:	The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) seeks to eliminate trade barriers between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. However, promoting sustainable development has been, and will continue to be, a fundamental part of this process. In Mexico, the Agreement has heightened participation by public and private organizations in exploring solutions to environmental problems. A new development policy has been imtiated which recognizes the link between poverty and the environment, fiscal resources have been allocated to strengthen enforcement of environmental regulations and improve infrastructure, and the environmental agency has been restructured, reflecting a new emphasis on sustainable development. Furthermore, President Salinas pledges that Mexico will not become a haven for those seeking to avoid environmental regulations.
