In June 1991 the United States, Canada and Mexico initiated negotiation of a comprehensive free trade agreement aimed at: eliminating over a mutually agreed upon time period all tariffs on trade between the three countries; reducing impediments to trade in services; removing most restrictions on foreign investment among the signatory countries; ensuring adequate intellectual property protection. The negotiations were concluded in August 1992, and the draft text is structured along the lines of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement. The Clinton administration negotiated supplemental agreements on labor and environmental issues, and Congress approved the whole package of NAFTA agreements in November 1993. President Clinton signed the legislation into law in December. NAFTA went into effect January 1, 1994. It is being viewed as a testing ground for possible future agreements to be negotiated under the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative.
