|The Ciudad Juarez-based

ronmental cleanup proposals and
recommend the best and most ur
gent for federal funding from the
North American Development
Bank. The agencies were created
under a NAFTA side agreement
negotiated to address concerns
that increased trade will also
mean increased environmental
degradation along the border.
As conceived, public participa
tion will be key to the BECC’s
operations, giving rise to a series
of public meetings to discuss
specific proposals. But Thurs
day’s gathering was lacking in
concrete plans.
Speaker after speaker rushed
to a podium to address the 10-
member binational panel, most
of them concentrating on trying
to illustrate particular problems.
Some praised the commission
for helping to foster increased
cooperation between the United
States and Mexico.
But still others criticized the
BECC’s procedural rules, which
some have said are muzzling the
public comment that was sup
posed to be a centerpiece of the
agency’s decision-making process.
The rules include ptovision
that allow commissioners to deny
a person or group the right to
comment without explaining why.
The commission will be able
to add or delete agenda items
10 days in advance of a meet
ing, while anyone wanting to
comment must submit a re
quest written in English and
Spanish to commission staff 15
days in advance.

Special meetings requiring no

Critics say that is contrary to
the BECC’s mission of operating
with unprecedented openness.
Paul Orbuch, a representative
for the Western Governor’s Asso
ciation, said member governors
are concerned the BECC’s rules
“do not adequately ensure public
participation and transparency
and can limit opportunities for
state and local input.”
“The governors are hopeful
that as the BECC begins its
work, it will revisit the rules of
procedure and make the
changes necessary to ensure
that secrecy and confidential
decision-making do not replace
the intended spirit of this insti
tution,” he told commissioners.
