Letter to Ms. Harrison pursuant to USTR documents under FOIA

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), along with Friends of the Earth – US, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Defenders of Wildlife, submitted a FOIA request to the USTR for all environmental provisions and supporting documents of free trade agreements negotiated since early 2003, specifically mentioning agreements with Morocco, Colombia, Australia, and Central America.

• The FOIA request seeks the text of any environmental chapters or provisions exchanged between the United States and its negotiating partners since the start of 2003 for bilateral or regional free trade agreements, specifically including those involving Morocco, Colombia, Australia, and Central America.
• The request extends beyond the main text to include all supporting materials that are integral to or complement the environmental portions of the agreements, such as side letters, annexes, memoranda of understanding, and schedules.
• The requesting organizations argue that the disclosure of these trade negotiation procedures is in the public interest and contributes to the understanding of public policy implications, justifying a request for a fee waiver.
