The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force on January 1, 1994. The agreement was signed by President George H. W. Bush on December 17, 1992, and approved by Congress on November 20, 1993. The NAFTA Implementation Act was signed into law by President William J. Clinton on December 8, 1993 (P.L. 103-182). The overall economic impact of NAFTA is difficult to measure since trade and investment trends are influenced by numerous other economic variables, such as economic growth, inflation, and currency fluctuations. The agreement likely accelerated and also locked in trade liberalization that was already taking place in Mexico, but many of these changes may have taken place without an agreement. Nevertheless, NAFTA is significant, because it was the most comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA) negotiated at the time and contained several groundbreaking provisions. A legacy of the agreement is that it has served as a template or model for the new generation of FTAs th

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force on January 1, 1994, establishing a free trade area as part of a comprehensive economic and trade agreement among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. President Trump has repeatedly stated that he intends to either renegotiate or withdraw from NAFTA. In May 2017, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) formally notified Congress of the Administration’s intent to renegotiate NAFTA. Reactions to the announcement have been mixed, with some industries supporting NAFTA “modernization” as a way to address a range of trade concerns, while others are urging the need to proceed more cautiously so as to not destabilize current U.S. export markets.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a free trade agreement between Canada, the United States (US), and Mexico. NAFTA was built on the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA), which was brought into force in 1989 and superseded by NAFTA in 1994. Designed to eliminate trade and investment barriers between the three countries, the agreement came into force on 1 January 1994. In addition to being one of the most ambitious trade agreements in history, NAFTA also created the world’s largest free trade area. Since 1994, NAFTA has generated economic growth and rising standards of living for the people of all three member countries.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta) went into effect on January 1, 1994, amid fears of job loss in the United States and cries of revolution in the south of Mexico. Yet, in a single decade, the three nations of North America have built a market larger than, and almost as integrated as, the 15-nation European Union. Trade and in- vestment have nearly tripled, and the United States, Mexico, and Canada have experienced an unprecedented degree of social and eco- nomic integration. For the first time, “North America” is more than just a geographical expression.

In September 1992, Canada, Mexico and the United States signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The main objectives of NAFTA, according to the official synthesis of three countries of the agreement, are to "eliminate barriers to trade, promote fair competition conditions, increase investment opportunities, provide adequate protection for intellectual property rights, establish effective procedures for the implementation and application of the agreement and for dispute resolution and for further trilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation". NAFTA is a pioneering agreement from the point of view of trade and environmental policy, because it addresses directly to environmental laws and standards, and includes a lateral environmental agreement. Environmental issues are addressed in the NAFTA preamble, in Article 104 of its objectives, and in its chapters on investment, agriculture and health and plant health measures, and dispute resolution.

NAFTA is a free trade agreement (FTA) among the United States, Canada, and Mexico that entered into force on January 1, 1994 (P.L. 103-182). At the time it was negotiated, NAFTA was unusual because it was the first time that a U.S. FTA linked two advanced economies with a lower income country. For this reason, the agreement sparked debate among policymakers, industries, labor unions, and other stakeholders about its potential benefits and costs. NAFTA-implementing legislation included revisions to the U.S. trade adjustment assistance program to address production shifts and assist dislocated workers.

In 1994, Canada, the United States, and Mexico implemented the North Amer- ican Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), designed to provide a framework for the gov- ernance of a North American economy. One of the most significant parts of the agreement was Chapter 17, dealing with intellectual property (IP) and designed to bring Mexican IP law into line with that of the United States —Canadian IP law was already substantially similar to that of the U.S. Referring to the copyright sec- tions of Chapter 17,2 Acheson and Maule (1996) describe the treaty as one step in the continuing harmonization of North American copyright law, itself embed- ded in a process of global harmonization spearheaded by the 1995 Agreement on the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) at the World Trade Organization (WTO).
