How can members of the public participate in the FTAA treaty process?
FTAA Ministers established a Committee of Government Representatives on the Participation of Civil Society. At the Committee’s first meeting in 1998, it established an open invitation soliciting input from civil society on the FTAA Treaty. The invitation to participate was subsequently renewed and remains permanently open throughout the negotiation process. Comments that are submitted before the 2004 ministerial meeting in Brazil will be considered by FTAA trade ministers. More information on submitting comments in the official FTAA Treaty process is available here.
