MEXICO CITY, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Mexico's government on Monday presented a strategy to protect and strengthen its national steel, textile and footwear industries, as part of its Plan Mexico initiative.
The plan aims to protect and boost domestic production and jobs, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said, adding that the country's "Made in Mexico (Hecho en Mexico)" campaign will begin in June.
In the case of steel, companies that want to import steel products must register with the Economy Ministry and provide detailed information about their steel mills as required, regardless of where they are located.
These measures, Ebrard said, seek to prevent importers from evading tariffs.
