| MEXICO CITY, Apr 26, 2001 (Reforma/Infolatina via COMTEX) --
The Mexican government expects that U.S. trade and
agricultural authorities in May will authorize tariff-free
imports of 300,000 metric tons of Mexican sugar, bringing to
an end a long-running dispute between the two countries over
trade in sugar and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), according
to a report in Mexico City daily Reforma. Mexican Economy
Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez in early May will meet in
Washington, D.C., with Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
(USTR) head Robert Zoellick to discuss a series of Mexico-U.S.
trade and commerce conflicts including disputes over sugar,
telecommunications and transport. |
