Mexican regulations

The Official Mexican Standards (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas or NOMs) augment the Mexican Regulation for the Land Transport of Hazardous Materials and Wastes. The Mexican Secretariat for Communications and Transport (SCT) is responsible for publishing and maintaining the NOMs. In addition, other Mexican government agencies have published standards relevant to the transportation of hazardous materials within Mexico. The Mexican hazmat NOMs are fairly consistent with those of the UN Model Regulations. 

Economic Aspects. Pertinent statistics on the U.S. production and consumption of fluorspar are given in Table 4. For many years the United States has rehed on imports for more than 80% of fluorspar needs. The principal sources are Mexico, China, and the Repubflc of South Africa. Imports from Mexico have declined in part because Mexican export regulations favor domestic conversion of fluorspar to hydrogen fluoride for export to the United States. 

Despite early passive views on cannabis use in the United States, however, a gradual accumulation of momentum in opposition to marijuana developed after World War I. Much of the antipathy was based on cultural fears relating to cannabis use by Syrians in New York, East Indians in California and, principally, Mexicans in the Southwest. Much of the pressure for federal legislation regulating marijuana arose not from the FBN but from local law enforcement agencies in the South and Southwest who saw it as a link to violent crime presumably committed by Mexican immigrants. 

Mexican Health Law and its Regulations do not provide for donations to medical practitioners. Therefore, following the principle that every activity that is not expressly forbidden is permitted, it is possible to give gifts or donations of money to medical practitioners subject to the general provisions of the civil law. 

During the last few years the Mexican Government has introduced severe strict regulations and hope they will be policed effectively. EC and US environmental companies feel that this is one of the growth areas for investment.
