Energy free trade under NAFTA good for all North Americans
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/02/17 -- Energy free trade under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been good for the people of Canada, the United States (U.S.) and Mexico, keeping energy on the continent more affordable and reliable for citizens and the economy, according to a joint paper released by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), the American Petroleum Institute (API) and Mexican Association of Hydrocarbon Companies (AMEXHI).
The creation of NAFTA has been and continues to be mutually beneficial to all three trading partners -- Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The integrated and interdependent North American market that NAFTA created maintains energy self-sufficiency and improves industry competitiveness in North America and worldwide.
Under the NAFTA renegotiation, there are opportunities to update the agreement but any changes that disrupt energy trade across North American borders or revert to high tariffs and trade barriers could put long term investments, national prosperity and jobs at risk as they depend on these deep trade relationships. As such, the joint paper recommends support for market-oriented policies and opportunities for commercial growth and job creation under NAFTA.
The CAPP, API and AMEXHI joint paper can be found .
