The Trade and Environment Strategic Plan will serve as a guide for the CEC and the NAFTA Free Trade Commission (FTC) in cooperatively defining and coordinating mutually supportive trade and environment work in North America. It will help to establish a better working relationship between the CEC and the FTC and will raise awareness among trade and environment officials of the trade and environment work undertaken under the NAFTA and the NAAEC. Ultimately, the Strategic Plan will lead, in the long-term, to better-informed policy planning and more integrated strategies and decisions between the FTC and the CEC. |
