PMC Eco Supply Welcomes New Business With US & Panama New Trade Agreement

Nov. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- We are excited about the news where on October 31, nearly five years after being signed by both the US & Panama, a free trade agreement between the United States and Panama will finally be entering into force. PMC Eco Supply is excited about the new business opportunities with Panama and its entrepreneurs whose business is energy savings. Why are we excited about this new trade agreement? Because we love the country of Panama. It has beautiful, hospitable people, great weather and plenty of the same amenities one can get in the U.S.

Five years ago was also when the U.S. and Panama finalized the U.S.–Panama Trade Promotion Agreement, which removes most barriers to trade between the U.S. and Panama and will greatly benefit American consumers and manufacturers alike.

This agreement has many tangible economic, political, and security benefits for both the U.S. and Panama. So why did it take five years after negotiations were completed for it to take effect? The agreement was finalized in 2006, signed by both nations in June 2007, and ratified by Panama’s National Assembly the following month. Then the agreement sat on the shelf for four years, blocked first by the Democratic majority in Congress and then by the Obama Administration.

Finally, in October 2011, President Obama submitted the agreement to Congress, where it was quickly passed.

The U.S. is Panama’s largest trading partner, and many U.S. corporations have been anxious to boost their exports into the strategically located Central American nation. This agreement immediately removes hundreds of tariffs and will undoubtedly increase trade between the two countries.

This should be very beneficial to companies who are working on large projects, such as the Panama Canal expansion. Its exports increased fivefold to Mexico and threefold to Colombia after free trade agreements with each went into effect.

The U.S. government should be doing everything in its power to support the American economy and encourage growth. Free trade agreements have proven to do both, yet no new trade agreements have been originated or signed by President Obama, and our trade policy remains in limbo.

We want to welcome any native Panamanian or Expat in Panama who wants to start a new business with the Power Miser product or add the Power Miser products to an existing energy saving product line to become contact us.
