For example: UE, Mercosur, etc. • Approach to Asia-Pacific: w/Japan: there’s already a Free Trade Agreement. ToChina, offering: • The Mexican Geographical position • The NAFTA benefits: Tariffs and other benefits • BAASC: Anti-Smuggling and Contraband Certify • Mexican FTA’s with 43 countries (UE, Central America, South America, Japan, etc). • More than 20 years in manufacturing experience.
