In December 2013, both the Environmental Affairs Council (EAC) under the CTPA (United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement) and the Environmental Cooperation Commission (ECC) under the United States-Colombia Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA), which entered into force on 28 June 2013, met. The Council and Commission also held a public session pursuant to the CTPA environment chapter and the ECA. The EAC reviewed implementation of the Environment Chapter of the CTPA including actions taken by both countries to increase levels of environmental protection, ensure effective enforcement of environmental laws, and provide opportunities for public participation in environmental governance and the trade policy-setting processes. The ECC reviewed ongoing environmental cooperation activities and approved and signed the first United States-Colombia Work Program for Environmental Cooperation under the ECA, which provides a robust framework for advancing environmental cooperation in the coming years. In 2015 and 2016, the United States and Colombia made progress toward the establishment of an independent secretariat to receive and consider submissions from the public on matters regarding enforcement of environmental laws pursuant to Article 18.8 of the CTPA, and hope to finalize the agreement in 2016 or early 2017. The secretariat mechanism is intended to promote public participation in the identification and resolution of issues regarding each party's enforcement of its environmental laws.
