Coparmex Coahuila calls for strengthening the rule of law in the face of the USMCA review

After the US Chamber of Commerce expressed its concerns during the consultations for the review of the USMCA, the president of Coparmex Coahuila Sureste, Alfredo López Villarreal, pointed out that Mexico should take advantage of this process to send the world a clear message of trust, compliance and openness.

According to the US Chamber of Commerce, the treaty should remain a tripartite and tariff-free agreement; however, they expressed concerns that Mexico is not fully compliant on some issues, including legal and regulatory independence, investment certainty, and, in energy matters, preferential treatment for Pemex and CFE, while regulators have lost autonomy.
