Washington DC – The National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) welcomed the announcement by President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday of two new U.S.-Canada initiatives – the Beyond the Border (BTB) Action Plan and the Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Action Plan – aimed at furthering cooperation on trade, investment, emergency preparedness and security. The NFTC released the following statement.

“We welcome these new initiatives, as they show a real commitment by both countries to advance bilateral partnership on all of these key issues. Efforts to enhance cooperation on trade and investment, in particular, will benefit businesses and workers in both countries and help support economic growth and job creation.
