The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is a 2005 effort between Canada, the US, and Mexico to increase and improve the sharing of information between the nations. The Partnership seeks to protect national boarders from terrorism while still promoting a business-friendly environment for trade. As part of this agreement, the three countries agreed to work collaboratively on chemical safety issues, including the safe production and use of industrial chemicals. As the American agency responsible for this task, EPA has launched the Chemicals Assessment and Monitoring Program (ChAMP) to prioritize action on the more than 6,700 chemicals used in quantities above 25,000 lbs/year.
