MEXICANS TRUCKS * USA - Lawmaker urges action on ‘inappropriate’ tariffs
Washington,DC,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Jami Jones -June 24, 2009 – One U.S. lawmaker wants to know what is going to be done to Mexico for “slapping” tariffs on more than 90 U.S. products because the long-haul cross-border program with Mexico was ended... Rep. Brad Sherman, D-CA, wrote a letter to Ron Kirk, the U.S. Trade Representative, asking what actions his office are taking to rectify these lopsided, “inappropriate” tariffs imposed by Mexico... Sherman points out in his letter that there are several problems with the tariffs Mexico imposed nearly three months ago... He starts by pointing out that the North American Free Trade Agreement limits maximum “sanctions” to pre-NAFTA levels... Rod Nofziger, OOIDA’s director of government affairs said, “The tariffs are meant to focus attention away from the fact that Mexico’s regulatory standards for trucking are to say the least paltry in comparison to the requirements currently in place for U.S. trucking companies and truck drivers.”...
