Resolution on Adopting a New Border Trade System

TRIUNVIRATO
RESOLUTION ON ADOPTING A NEW BORDER TRADE SYSTEM Fifth Legislative Assembly June 2010 EXPLANATORY NOTES Noting that less than 5% of trucks crossing the border can be physically inspected even in our post-September 11 era and that there are up to 7 hour waiting lines, it is imperative that the supply chain management be secured in North America. The purpose of this draft resolution is to adopt a new Border Trade System based on the creation of secure manufacturing zones and supply-chain visibility along the U.S.-Canada and the U.S.-Mexico border. This meets the three countries mutual priority to establish a security strategy while also promoting economic growth in a highly competitive global economy, as expressed by the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America among the United States, Canada, and Mexico upon which was agreed that to contribute to smart and secure borders the countries would: Collaborate to establish risk-based screening standards for goods and people that rely on technology, information sharing and biometrics; Develop and implement compatible electronic processes for supply chain security that use advanced electronic cargo information to analyze risk and ensure quick and e cient processing at the border; Develop standards and options for secure documents to facilitate cross-border travel and; Exchange additional law enforcement liaison ocers to assist in criminal, security, and scal investigations. Collaboration, strategic planning, and commitment among federal, state, and local governments in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, as well as the private sector and border communities, is essential to develop a border system that is safe, e ective, and e cient enough for the 21 Century. THE NORTH AMERICAN INTERPARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY STATES AS FOLLOW: TITLE I SECURE MANUFACTURING ZONES (SMZ) CHAPTER I - OBJECTIVES 1. The North American legislators recommend implementing pilot projects aimed at creating SMZ along the U.S.-Mexico border and along the U.S.-Canada border. The objective of the SMZ concept is to develop secure and e cient manufacturing zones that enhance the security and e ciency of the border and the manufacturing supply chain. The importance of the SMZ is that it establishes a speci c location at which inspections and clearance can occur away from the border in facilities within the federations that are placed in strategic key points of trade to relieve the highly transited ones and to promote sustainable regional development. The key to creating SMZ is to bring cost-e ective technology into border trade and establish a trilateral agency (Smart Borders Commission) to facilitate the partnership of the three countries in information sharing, security enhancement, and the success of this speci c resolution. POINT-OF-ORIGIN CLEARANCE 2. These speci cally sanctioned zones will operate under current and, as required, new industrial standards and operating protocols (ISOs). The result will allow the monitored placement of goods into secure authorized vehicles for transport to speci ed destinations on the other side of the border. The e ect of the SMZ will move activities and functions that have previously occurred at the border to the manufacturing facility or other designated sites. This process known as Point-of-Origin Clearance is the core concept of the SMZ. www. na-na .org | info@ na-na .org
12
TRIUNVIRATO
Point-of-origin clearance is a concept o ering a multiple-value proposition: predictable trade for industry, secure trade for government, and environmental compliance that bene ts the quality of life of the border region. This clearance will improve the movement of goods and secure the manufacturing supply-chain. 3. The project entails the equipping of commercial vehicles and manufacturing facilities with Intelligent Software Agents (ISA) and Information Technology Systems (ITS) to enable point of origin monitoring and clearance of commercial cargo, supply chain visibility for companies that voluntarily participate in the pilot program. 3.1 Contraband detection technologies and methods used may include: radiation detection, gamma ray and x-ray, coordination and laboratory services biometrics, cameras, scopes, mirrors, density readers, trace detection, detector dogs, GPS and others deemed applicable. CHAPTER II - NEW BORDER SYSTEM SELF ASSESMENT ELIGIBILITY OF GOODS 4. The only eligible goods will be those considered to comply with the low-risk assessment as follows: commercial goods that are shipped directly from Canada, United States and Mexico and delivered to an authorized importer, owner or consignee of said countries. Goods that are subject to other governmental or provincial regulations and therefore require a permit, license or other similar document to be provided to the Border Authorities before the goods can be released will not be eligible for the program. EXAMINATIONS 5. As with all other commercial goods entering a country, shipments cleared through the pre-clearance process may be examined at the border. However, since participants have been pre-approved and deemed to be low-risk, their shipments should be examined less frequently than those of non-pre-approved participants. In this way, border services o cers can focus more time on shipments of higher and unknown risks. RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES 6. It is important that members of the trade community understand their rights and obligations and exercise them accordingly. Participants that contravene any legislation could be sanctioned by the commission and related regulations. POST-VERIFICATION AUDITS 7. Pre-approved importers and carriers are subject to post-audit veri cations. Border senior program o cers will monitor the results of such activities and the compliance record of approved clients. If an applicant is not approved, they may have their case reviewed by an appellate body. SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY 8. The creation of SMZ requires using layered, integrated security systems to provide supply chain visibility. Upon departure from the SMZ, each authorized vehicle will be tracked and monitored from its point of origin to its destination utilizing technologies that will protect every element of the supply chain, such as (1) identi cation of authorized drivers/carriers; (2) secure trailers with intelligent locking devices; (3) instant detection of tampering or compromising of cargo; (4) surveillance and tracking of each truck through authorized routes; and (5) instant alarms for any deviations, which includes violations of allowable travel times between checkpoints. 8.1 The North American Commercial Registration Program for e cient and e ective clearance of low-risk goods and pre-approved importers, carriers and commercial drivers. Application requirements for importers, exporters and carriers will include: 90 consecutive days of activity within North America; no history of contraband, major commercial infractions, any other criminal activity deemed problematic and an audit opinion signed by a certi ed public accountant.

TRIUNVIRATO
An applicant must also provide a management attestation of proper labor and commercial policies as well as with federal, provincial, or state emission testing compliance if applicable. By complying with the regulations of the North American Commercial Registration Program the importers, carriers, and drivers will be granted an o cial ID, will be directly eligible for the FAST and NEXUS program and will be granted low-risk status pending renewal as described in section 4. 9. With the adoption of such security precautions, the ow of legitimate trade will be enhanced, allowing inspections to focus on higher risk vehicles and individuals not participating in the system. Inspections need to focus on a broader approach that not only includes terrorist threats but also other illegal goods or activities (such as drug and weapons/arms contraband, smuggling, human tra cking, and organized crime). INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE AGENTS 10. The central feature of supply-chain visibility arises from the use of Intelligent Software Agents (ISAs). ISAs are software modules that automate speci c tasks, provide round-the-clock decision support and/or collaborate with each other without human intervention while providing increased security by increasing the number of vehicles that can be monitored. They also help manufacturers and border agents by providing real time information that will allow them to determine the best response in the event of an incident or anomaly and to take decisive action. ISAs thrive on data so they are best able to provide the human operator with decision support. It helps transform this high-volume data (which o ers low value) into low-volume, high-value intelligence. NEW TRILATERAL AGENCY, INTELLIGENCE SHARING & MULTI-AGENCY COLLABORATION 11. The new trilateral agency for the North American Commercial Registration Program will have the objective of ensuring the integrity of the participating institutions, data reliability and privacy protection, information management and sharing. The North American commercial registration program will be responsible for maintaining and enforcing regulations. The new trilateral agency will facilitate the sharing of information between and across multiple borders, intelligence and security agencies to respond to incidents that require instant collaboration and coordinated action. It provides an interface and interoperability with local situations that allows federal, state or provincial and local o cials to exert real time coordination and control of transportation assets. 12. Information sharing will include existing programs which have been voluntarily agreed to at a trilateral level such as the Container Security Initiative, the Advance Commercial Information and the eManifest. While this information will be shared, the sovereignty of member countries will be respected. Regulation and actions arising from information sharing will be carried out by the applicable national borders services and intelligence agencies. This information will be shared solely for security as agreed to voluntarily and will not be accessible for improper use such as data mining for statistical, tax, or other unrelated purposes. Applicants who fail to pass the screening process will be ineligible to reapply unless their original infraction(s) are exonerated. BORDER TRADE SYSTEM DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS 13. In order to prove the ability of the New Border Trade System to meet the needs of its users, to fully test and integrate proposed technologies, and to ensure that it addresses the quality-of-life issues of border communities, we are recommending the immediate implementation of four demonstration projects that will fully test all of the aforementioned components. 14. These pilot projects will be simultaneously implemented at four key border ports-of-entry and vital trade corridors: Windsor (Ontario) Detroit (Michigan); Surrey (British Columbia) Blaine (Washington); Laredo (Texas) Nuevo Laredo (Tamaulipas) and Tijuana (Baja California) San Diego (California) border crossings. 15. Funding will be sought from governmental agencies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as the other relevant states and provinces in these countries. These governments will make investments in SMZ as well as funding new regulatory activities, including personnel training. This governmental funding will come from reallocation of existing border investments and new sources of revenue. www. na-na .org | info@ na-na .org

15.1 Fees An application fee and yearly renewal fee will be required both for businesses and drivers to provide funds for the program. Fees will be determined by the Smart Border Commission in applicable rules in accordance to the size and function of transportation as well as the companys trade activity. 15.2 Investments The three parties will de ne security requirements including secure trailers, locking devices, surveillance technology, and GPS systems. Applicant carriers will be responsible for ensuring the meeting of the requirements by making the necessary investments in their vehicle upgrades. 15.3 Tax incentives Any investment the companies make on necessary technologies or infrastructure will be eligible for tax deduction in the next or during the scal year. Each federal government will coordinate and individually amend their legislation accordingly. 15.4 Economic development For economic development, larger tax incentives will be granted to small and medium sized enterprises. In addition, in order to cover upfront infrastructure costs on the Mexican-U.S. border, funding and/or loans will be suggested as projects for the North American Development Bank. EXPECTED DEADLINES AND NEXT STEPS 16. Governments will add SMZ infrastructure immediately and should nish after one scal year. After enhancement and completion of SMZ, the new regulations will enter into force. Governments, in collaboration with state and provincial agencies, will determine pilot project goals and performance indicators and report on this progress annually. 17. After a ve-year testing period, a comprehensive evaluation of the outcomes of the demonstration projects shall be undertaken to determine future steps. Expansions to be considered will include other land based border crossings, seaports, and the southern Mexican Border infrastructure development. CHAPTER III - FUTURE EXPECTATIONS 18. The North American Commercial Registration Program aims to decrease waiting times at border crossings, making the North American trade system more e cient, e ective and secure. The long-term expected impacts will include: Increased trade ow; Enhanced economic and social development; Improvement of border infrastructure; Integrated and uniform security systems; Detection and diminishment of organized crime and contraband activities; Reduction of CO2 emissions and regional pollution; Support of trilateral collaboration, integration, and cooperation; Promotion of social responsibility and North American values and; Long term stability of border trade system.

TRIUNVIRATO
RESOLUTION ON GOVERNANCE: EXPAND THE NORTH AMERICAN TRILATERAL LEADERS SUMMIT Fifth Legislative Assembly June 2010 Explanatory Notes The Annual Trilateral Leaders Summit (TLS) is the annual, highest-pro le, continent-level dialogue where North American issues are being discussed and addressed. Since 2005, the TLS has brought together the Mexican and American Presidents and the Canadian Prime minister, as well as members of the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC). This resolution proposes to review the way in which these North American meetings are set up and underlines the fact that North American countries would greatly bene t from the increased participation of a number of key stakeholders in the TLS structure. The magnitude of economic, political, social and environmental issues at stake in the North American region calls for the necessity to involve key governmental, political, NGOs and business actors. Energy, transportation, security, and economic development (amongst others) involve a wide range of national and sub-national policies; therefore, the development of comprehensive North American action plans requires the input of many stakeholders. Taking into account foreign experiences as well as North American dynamics, this resolution describes a new way to structure these Summits and energize North American Leaders Summits in order to fully develop their potential outcomes for North America. RESOLUTION TO EXPAND TRILATERAL LEADERS SUMMIT Acknowledging that transnational problems require the identi cation and implementation of e ective transnational solutions; Convinced that nding institutional solutions and procedures is congruent with the values of the three partners and a good way to the enforcement of the regional agenda; Considering the necessity to consult and involve various key decision-makers and partners in the design and implementation of North American policies and initiatives; Recalling that transparency and dialogue are looked for among civil society, media, academic institutions and advocacy groups; Rea rming that North American legislative branches are close partners and should therefore be included in the on-going North American dialogue and integration process; Recalling that the North American federal and federated states are a ected by the decisions being taken for North American policy cooperation matters; Stressing that it is not in the relevant regions and governments interests to operate without large and diverse consultative and participatory mechanisms; Convinced that involving legislators within the TLS will deepen and strengthen collaboration between the United States, Mexico, and Canada; and Anticipating that if governments do not adopt a more participatory approach with regards to the North American Leaders Summits, vocal people and/or organizations might di use damaging and unfounded fears among the public.
