SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

Paragraph 3 of the U.S.–Jordan Joint 

Statement on Environmental Technical 

Cooperation, the United States and 

Jordan establish a Joint Forum on 

Environmental and Technical 

Cooperation that will meet regularly. 

The mandate of the Joint Forum is to 

advance environmental protection in 

Jordan by developing environmental 

technical cooperation initiatives, which 

take into account environmental 

priorities, and which are agreed to by 

the two Governments. In paragraph 4, 

the Countries identify an initial focus of 

technical cooperation on Jordanian 

environmental quality issues and the 

development and effective 

implementation of Jordanian 

environmental laws, as defined in 

Articles 5.4 and 18.2(a) of the FTA. 

The first Plan of Action focused on 

implementing a strategic vision for the 

Ministry of Environment in Jordan, 

established in 2002, to promote 

sustainable economic growth and 

development. The plan outlined 

activities to, among other things, 

strengthen the Jordanian Ministry of 

Environment’s capacity for setting, 

implementing, and ensuring compliance 

with environmental standards; harness 

market forces to protect the 

environment while bringing economic 

benefits; undertake industrial 

wastewater treatment and hazardous 

waste management for a target region; 

seek out economic benefits of 

ecotourism; and promote development 

of a regional network of environmental 

lawmakers and enforcement officials. 

The new Work Program for 2008– 

2011 identifies long-term goals to 

achieve (1) Compliance with obligations 

in Article 5 (Environment) of the 

Agreement Between the U.S. and the 

Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on the 

Establishment of a Free Trade Area; (2) 

Improved protection and conservation 

of the environment, including natural 

resources; (3) Transparency and 

meaningful public participation in 

environmental decision-making; and (4) 

A culture of environmental protection 

and compliance with environmental 

laws through, among other things, the 

promotion of economic opportunities; 

voluntary measures to enhance 

environmental performance; and job 

creation. The new Work Program 

specifies cooperative activities in four 

main priority areas which reflect the 

‘‘Selected Environmental Technical 

Cooperation Programs’’ listed in the 

Annex to the October 24, 2000 Joint 

Statement. These areas include 

institutional and policy strengthening; 

biodiversity conservation and improved 

management of protected areas; 

improved private sector environmental 

performance; and environmental 

education, transparency, and public 

participation in environmental decisionmaking and enforcement. 

At the Joint Forum, U.S. and 

Jordanian officials will present 

information on cooperative 

environmental work they are
