Does Mexico have the same environmental standards as Washington? Under the NAFTA will Mexico be able to object if emissions from the operation will only conform to the twenty-year old technology which may not continue to be acceptable in Washington.?

I hope it all goes well.....cautiously optimistic.

I doubt Glasstile would make this kind of investment without knowing what is and what is not. I hope for the best.
