SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 

17.5 of Chapter 17 of CAFTA–DR 

establishes an Environment Affairs 

Council (the ‘‘Council’’). Article 17.5 

requires the Council to meet at least 

once a year, unless the Parties otherwise 

agree, to discuss the implementation of, 

and progress under, Chapter 17. Article 

17.5 also requires, unless the Parties 

otherwise agree, that each meeting of 

the Council include a session in which 

members of the Council have an 

opportunity to meet with the public to 

discuss matters relating to the 

implementation of Chapter 17.5. 

In addition, in Article 17.9 of the 

Chapter, the Parties recognize the 

importance of strengthening capacity to 

protect the environment and to promote 

sustainable development in concert 

with strengthening trade and investment 

relations and their commitment to 

expanding their cooperative 

relationship on environmental matters. 

Article 17.9 also notes that the Parties 

have negotiated an Environmental 

Cooperation Agreement (ECA) that sets 

out certain priority areas of cooperation 

on environmental activities. These 

priority areas also are reflected in 

Annex 17.9 and include, among other 

things, conserving and managing 

shared, migratory, and endangered 

species in international trade; 

exchanging information on domestic 

implementation of multilateral 

environmental agreements that all the 

Parties have ratified; and strengthening 

each Party’s environmental management 

systems, including reinforcing 

institutional and legal frameworks and 

the capacity to develop, implement, 

administer, and enforce environmental 

laws, regulations, standards, and 

polices. 

The Council held its first meeting on 

May 24, 2006, in Guatemala City, 

Guatemala. At that meeting, the Council 

discussed issues of mutual concern 

related to Chapter 17 of the CAFTA–DR, 

including the establishment of a 

Secretariat for Environmental Matters 

(‘‘the Secretariat’’). The Council met for 

the second time on July 27, 2006, to sign 

the Secretariat Agreement and appoint a 

General Coordinator for the Secretariat. 

At its third meeting, the Council will, 

among other things, (1) review the 

implementation of Chapter 17 

obligations; (2) receive a report on the 

activities of the Secretariat; (3) discuss 

anticipated activities and operations for 

the Secretariat; (4) discuss working 

procedures for the Secretariat; and (5) 

review the status of cooperative 

environmental activities the Parties are 

implementing consistent with the 

CAFTA–DR ECA. At this meeting, a 

framework for future regional 

environmental cooperation will also be 

discussed.
