,
Environmental
Regulations and Standards in Mexico are based on the LGEEPA (Federal
General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and the Protection of the
Environment.) The LGEEPA establishes the framework and authority
for all environmental regulation in Mexico.
The LGEEPA is a very important document for understanding how the
environmental regulatory system functions in Mexico. The LGEEPA is
the context for understanding the relationship between the
regulations that are based on it, and the NOMs that detail the
specifications for compliance with Law and Regulations.
The Environmental Law is defined and responsibilities, and formats
are established by the Regulations of LGEEPA and the NOM's.
