Within the framework of the 57th National Chemical Industry Forum, the National Chemical Industry Association (ANIQ) and the Federal Attorney General’s Office for Environmental Protection (Profepa) signed a collaboration agreement that seeks to raise environmental safety standards in the foreign trade of hazardous substances.

This agreement establishes the basis for improving coordination between both institutions in the areas of verification, inspection, technical training, and information exchange, with the goal of streamlining regulatory processes and raising compliance standards in the sector .

During the signing, led by Gabriela Ortiz Merino, Deputy Attorney General for Industrial Inspection and Surveillance, and José Carlos Pons, president of ANIQ, both highlighted the importance of this public-private collaboration as a model of environmental co-responsibility .

“Environmental protection and legal compliance are essential pillars for both the government and a responsible industry like ours. This agreement allows us to join forces to guarantee the safe and efficient handling of dangerous goods in foreign trade, while boosting the sector’s competitiveness,” Pons stated.

Among the alliance’s main commitments are joint supervision and technical training activities, as well as developing training and professional development programs for environmental verification personnel.

In addition, both institutions are committed to exchanging information and best practices to facilitate regulatory compliance; planning and carrying out coordinated operations to prevent irregular merchandise trafficking; and creating a monitoring committee that will develop an annual work program.

ANIQ pledged to promote the adoption of the collaboration scheme among its members , facilitate the use of its training platforms, and encourage participation in informational forums for customs agents, industrialists, and foreign trade professionals.

Pons also acknowledged Profepa’s willingness to incorporate the concerns of the industrial sector into the content of the agreement and noted that this agreement represents a significant step toward the administrative simplification proposed in Plan Mexico.

“We trust that this agreement marks the beginning of a closer and more productive relationship to achieve our shared environmental goals,” he concluded.
