MEXICANS' TRUCKS * USA's Companies Form Alliance To Urge Resolution To Trucking Dispute
More than 150 U.S. manufacturers, companies and agricultural interests announced today that they had formed the Alliance to Keep U.S. Jobs
Washington,DC,USA -The Cattle Network -23 July 2009: ... The group will press the Obama administration and Congress to resolve an ongoing U.S.-Mexico trade dispute that has hampered U.S. firms ability to sell some $2.4 billion worth of manufactured and agricultural products bound for Mexico... U.S. industries ranging from cherry farmers to carbonless paper manufacturers joined the Alliance because they had become innocent victims of a lengthy political dispute, said Steve Mulder, the Alliance's spokesman. As Mulder explained it, these industries, and nearly 90 others, were subjected to tariffs by the Government of Mexico only days after the U.S. Congress terminated a U.S. pilot cross-border trucking program, an act that put the United States in violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement... Mexico has said it will not remove the tariffs until the U.S. Government reinstates the cross-border program or otherwise adheres to the NAFTA accord, under which Mexican trucks are permitted to enter the U.S. and U.S. trucks may likewise enter Mexico...
