Economy

Economy—overview: Mexico has a free market economy with a mixture of modern andoutmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. The number ofstate-owned enterprises in Mexico fell from more than 1,000 in 1982 to fewer than 200 in 1998.The Fox administration is privatizing and expanding competition in sea ports, railroads,telecommunications, electricity, natural gas distribution, and airports. Mexico still needs toovercome many structural problems as it strives to modernize its economy and raise livingstandards. Income distribution is very unequal with the top 20% of income earners accountingfor 55% of income. The inefficient agricultural sector employs 20% to 25% of the labor force butproduces only 8% of GDP. Trade with the United States and Canada has nearly doubled sinceNAFTA was implemented in 1994. Mexico is pursuing additional trade agreements with mostcountries in Latin America and with the European Union to lessen its dependence on the UnitedStates, which accounts for 80% of Mexico's total trade.

Brief History of the Mexican Chemical Industry

(source: www.aniq.org.mx)

In Mexico, even in Pre-Columbian times there was already some knowledge about the transformation of natural products. Natives used gold and silver obtained by mechanical means, they knew about ceramic and how to obtain and use natural salts. They used regular salt as a condiment and knew how to separate the various salts in the water of some lakes. They washed using the saponin in the maguey root and other plants. They extracted the juice from the maguey leaf, and through evaporation they obtained sugar. They knew about fermentation to make pulque and obtain tobacco and vanilla scents. They had knowledge about dyes and dyeing. They obtained resin from orchids which was used as glue, and made paper from tree bark. With rubber they made balls, baskets, waterproofing material and used oil as fuel.

The foundations for the industrialization of the country were laid in 1910, and in 1916 the first school of industrial chemistry was established in Mexico. The big thrust for the modern chemical industry came in 1938, after the oil expropriation and the development of technologies for production of hormones.

The "El Aguila" oil company started producing sulfuric acid in 1924 in Veracruz. Plants for the manufacturing of basic chemical products were established in the 30s, and Productos Químicos de México, a producer of chloride and soda lye, was founded in 1938. In 1942 Sosa Texcoco started producing soda lye and sodium carbonate, and Celanese Mexicana was created in 1943 for the manufacturing of chemical fibers.

During the 30s the number of pharmaceutical industries grew, as well as that of paint and ink manufacturers. In the 40s, the development of the chemical industry focused in the production of insecticides, as well as steroid hormones, and Laboratorios Syntex was founded in 1944. It was thanks to the steroid hormone industry that synthesis technology for complex chemical products developed, originating the appearance of companies in this line of business.

20

Although the oil expropriation took place in 1938, it can be said that the petrochemical industry in Mexico actually originated in 1951, when production of ammonia and polystyrene resin started. In the following years, various types of resins were manufactured, products such as sodium dodecylbenzensulphonate, explosive ammonia nitrate and acetylsalicylic acid, as well as intermediate products such as formaldehyde and salicylic acid.

Production of synthetic fibers with Nylon 6 as well as production of polyvinyl chloride started in 1957. Ammonia nitrate production for fertilizer use started in 1959, and also that of DDT pesticide. On the other hand, the basic sector was processing sulfur, propylene tetramer and dodecylbenzene.

After 1960, the process for the replacement of imports started in a systematic manner, with the purpose of promoting the industrialization of the country. This was achieved thanks to the availability of raw materials, the existence of a growing domestic market and the political and economic stability enjoyed during that period.

OPERATION AND EFFECT OF THE NAFTA CHEMICALS AND ALLIED PRODUCTS

(Source: http://www.ustr.gov/reports/naftareport/chapter2.pdf)

Highlights-- Between 1993 and 1996, U.S. chemicals exports to Mexico rose from $3.4 to $5.1 billion, anincrease of 50 percent. By comparison, U.S. exports to non-NAFTA countries grew by 37percent.-- U.S. petrochemical exports to Mexico grew by over 75 percent, to $1.2 billion. As a resultof NAFTA, Mexico opened its petrochemical sector for the first time to direct competitionfrom U.S. firms, which helped to spur the growth of exports.-- U.S. exports increased their share of Mexico’s import market from 64 percent to 67 percentover the period.-- The NAFTA immediately eliminated Mexican tariffs on 31 percent of U.S. chemical exportspreviously subject to duty. Average Mexican tariffs on U.S. chemicals dropped from 10 to 4percent over the period.-- U.S. export growth is at least partly attributable to Mexican tariff and non-tariff barrierreduction under NAFTA.-- Mexico immediately eliminated tariffs as high as 20 percent on close to half of U.S.pharmaceutical exports to Mexico.-- U.S. employment for production workers, hourly earnings, and productivity all increasedmodestly from 1993 to 1995.-- Imports from Mexico increased by $0.6 billion, to $1.4 billion from 1993 to 1996.-- The NAFTA played virtually no role in the increase -- U.S. tariffs on chemicals prior to 1994averaged only 1.0 percent.-- Mexico served as a major source of plastic resins during a period of shortage in the United

21

States. Many of the resins were converted into plastic parts in the United States and reexported.-- The NAFTA served to integrate further the Mexican and U.S. petrochemical industries, withMexico supplying basic and primary products for manufacture in the United States into highvalue-added secondary petrochemicals.

BackgroundThe NAFTA created the world’s largest open market for trade and investment in chemicalproducts. North American chemical shipments in 1995 reached $406.9 billion and exceeded$475 billion in year 2000. U.S. production accounts for over 90 percent of these shipments.Mexico is the third largest market for U.S. chemicals and allied products, purchasing between 2and 16 percent of U.S. chemical exports across all product categories in 1996. Developmentssince NAFTA Highlights of NAFTA Implementation Tariff Cuts Average Mexican tariffs onU.S. chemicals prior to NAFTA were 10.2 percent, including the 27 percent of U.S. exports toMexico in the chemicals, rubber, and miscellaneous plastics sector which entered Mexico dutyfree. Tariffs on certain pharmaceutical products, however, were as high as 20 percent. TheNAFTA immediately eliminated Mexican duties on another 31 percent of U.S. chemicalproducts, reducing Mexican tariffs to an average of 4.0 percent. Tariffs on the remaining 41percent of U.S. exports to Mexico in this sector are being phased out over five or ten yearperiods.

By contrast, U.S. tariff rates on Mexican chemicals immediately prior to NAFTA averaged only1.0 percent, thirty percent entered duty-free. The NAFTA immediately eliminated tariffs on mostMexican petrochemicals, inorganic and agricultural chemicals, as well as plastic and rubberproducts. Remaining U.S. tariffs on Mexican chemical products will be phased out over five toten years.

Elimination of Non-Tariff BarriersPrior to NAFTA, the Mexican Government exercised virtual monopoly control over theproduction, sale, and pricing of basic and secondary petrochemicals in Mexico. The NAFTArequired Mexico to open petrochemical production and sales to U.S. and Canadian firms for allproducts of trade significance. That change has permitted American producers to sell high value-added petrochemical products directly to Mexican end-users for the first time.

The NAFTA also guaranteed the elimination of virtually all import licenses on chemicals, rubberand plastics, and pharmaceuticals. The NAFTA’s rules protecting intellectual property rightshave been especially critical for the chemicals industry, which relies heavily on patent and tradesecret protection to safeguard formulas and processes. The NAFTA ensures that Mexico willprotect patents on production methods (so-called process patents), and places strict limits onsubject matter that cannot be patented. These protections are particularly important for thechemical industry because process technology is critical to the manufacture of many chemicalproducts. The NAFTA also guarantees strong product patent protection.

The Maquiladora Industry in Mexico: The Case of Tijuana

(Source: http://www.cob.asu.edu/seid/eoc/mexico/3-99/Analysis.htm)

Maquiladoras began in Mexico in 1965, and Tijuana, Mexico benefited most from thismovement. Originally, most, if not all maquiladoras were linked to U.S. companies. Thecommon objective was to obtain plentiful, low-cost Mexican workers for activities that werepredominantly labor intensive.

Now, 34 years later, many Mexican workers, engineers and technicians have been trained notonly by companies from the United States, but Japan, Korea, France and other nations as well.Due to training, experience and the infusion of technology, many firms are now among the bestin both worker productivity and product quality. Therefore, Tijuana is a very attractive place tolocate Maquiladoras, especially those serving markets in the western part of the United States.

However, all of the above advantages may turn to disadvantages and therefore the future shouldbe viewed with caution. Tijuana is starting to get very expensive compared to past cost levels.Worker salaries are continuing to rise, and the availability of employees is diminished in allfields. In brief, labor markets are becoming tighter and costs are rising.

The main driver behind these changes is the rapid growth that Tijuana has experienced over thelast 18 years. The economy surged after the major peso devaluation of the 80s. Now, theeconomy is reaching its peak as the full effects of NAFTA are felt.

Most companies developed their 1999 budgets using an exchange rate of 10 pesos to a dollar.Presently, companies are facing a 14 percent minimum wage raise (in pesos), ordered by thefederal government. Now, all they can get for their dollar is 9.25 pesos. The result translates intoa direct cost increase of as much of 8 percent on top of any salary increase.

But wage and cost increases such as these are not the only problems faced by the maquiladorasin the next millennium. By the year 2001, all Maquiladoras must turn into PermanentEstablishments, which means they will lose their cost center characteristics and become profitcenters. This would remove the possibility of having assets and inventories in bond, which wouldsignificantly increase costs.

But, although the horizon may look bleak, there still are many encouraging factors, such as thesedescribing the environment after the first 5 months of 1999.

1. The number of maquiladoras has increased from 3,143 to 3,259 (+3.7%)

2. The number of employees has grown from 1,060,217 to 1,120,303 (+5.7%)

3. Overall exports are up from $3.96 Billion to $5.18 Billion ($US) (+30%)

A critical point for the future is that maquiladoras are importing over $4 billion dollars inmaterials every month to produce the different goods that will later be exported. At present, only2.7% of those materials are obtained in Mexico. When new rules of the year 2001 are applied,

23

the materials coming from countries outside NAFTA will be taxed. Incentives will exist toproduce in a NAFTA country, hopefully Mexico.

Third Environmental Roundtable - US Mexico Border

UTEP, El Paso, TXNov 8-9 1999B. Miller ACS/IAO

Summary Report

Background

This roundtable was follow on to a meeting in June 98 on defining the needs of maquilas onenvironmental issues: maquilas need more professionals that know pollution prevention withacademic institutions providing education and training in waste recovery, reduction, recyclingand value-added reuse.

Roundtable Objectives

To promote cooperation among business sector and academia in the border region;To facilitate technological capacity building in institutions of higher education along the border;To enable these institutions to offer services and training to maquiladora industries in the area ofprevention, minimization and reuse of industrial wastes.

Participants

104 (10% US; 90% Mexico)

(Representative breakdown: 25 higher ed; 13 government; 36 industry;4 NGO; 1 professional society, 25 Not specified)

Structure

Five major panels with 6-8 presentations each – mostly in Spanish; consecutive interpretationavailable. Higher ed representatives focused on features of their collaborative programs withindustry – typically

♦ consulting ( tech transfer, standards development, housekeeping improvement, process re-engineering, change in raw materials, alternative technologies, waste recovery / reduction /treatment / recycling, integration of residuals)

♦ analysis (environmental impact, water, air, soil composition)

♦ education (Maquila-needs driven curricula development)

♦ training (compliance, use of equipment, process re-engineering)

24

Industrial presentations focused on:

♦ existing environmental management systems adopted from parent company to be incompliance with US and Mexican environmental regulations;

♦ design and implementation of processes eliminating threat of hazmat use, substituting othermaterials, putting in place engineering / administrative controls, implementing use of safetyequipment;

♦ savings and services to local communities through wastewater treatment, recycling, reusingnon / Hazmat, elementary / high school outreach).

Issues

Mexican environmental protection is distributed across two separate agencies Instituto Nacionalde Ecologia (policy development and regulation) and PROFEPA (enforcement). Laws andregulations borrowed from and mirror US EPA; difficulty and variation in enforcement.

In Mexico there exists a strong technology and knowledge base associated with environmentalmonitoring, greatest needs appears in policy formulation and implementation for enforcement.

US EPA advocating development and promotion of an environmental compliance assistancevendor sector in Mexico. Yellow pages-like approach.

Maquila industries getting more complex; no longer simple assembly, especially in chemicalenterprise - having to deal with greater volume, concetrations and complexity associated withproduct use – with all the attending human resource, air, (especially) water, and soil pollutionissues.

Push toward developing higher ed based expertise (physical and virtual) centers (at the InstitutoTecnologicos) to inform and train Maquila industries in handling common hazmats,administration of hazmats, air emissions, water quality and treatment, soil remediation, energyefficiency, recycling / reuse match making, development and promotion of ISO 14K certification(expected of large and medium sized enterprises in coming years). Question of funding;autofinancero ITESM center for environment provides high level of services, yet still requiredebt servicing from the university.

Large Maquila enterprise dominant in representation at Roundtable – most already have in placeenvironmental management systems / pollution control; small and medium sized enterprise not inattendance, yet they have greatest need – to have access to information and training for activitieslike registering, monitoring waste discharge and in getting systems in place to manage waste.

Petrochemicals

Pemex maintains monopoly control over eight basic petrochemicals -- butane, carbon blackfeedstocks, ethane, heptane, hexane, naphtha, pentane, and propane. Mexico's secondarypetrochemical plants produce 13 types of petrochemicals at 61 plants located mainly in 10complexes. Pemex Petroquimica, the petrochemical unit of Pemex, hopes to obtain private fundsfor these secondary petrochemical complexes. However, throughout 1998 and 1999, plans tocapitalize the plants, using a 51% government/49% private ownership formula, were not provenpopular with investors and private companies, who would prefer controlling stakes in thesepetrochemical complexes. Pemex needs foreign capital in order to repair and upgrade itspetrochemical plants, which have deteriorated due to a lack of domestic investment. The mostmodern petrochemical complex is Petroquimica Morelos, in the southern part of the Gulf coaststate of Veracruz. Plans to upgrade this complex call for a $100 million infusion of capital: $49million from private investors, and $51 from the government. Morelos has a capacity of about350,000 metric tons of ethylene per year. The Mexican chemical industry runs large tradedeficits, often for raw materials supplied in insufficient quantities by Pemex. Lack of integrationand outdated production methods also are hampering the industry. Pemex is not able to provide afull amount of needed petrochemicals, and thus companies must import them. In fact,petrochemicals accounts for more than $3 billion per year in trade deficits with the United States.

Chemically Related Industry Company Case Studies - Mexico.(Source: www.cosmos.com.mx and corporate websites, 1999, 2000, 2001)

PEMEXPETRÓLEOS MEXICANOSMarina Nacional # 329, Col. HuastecaDelegación Miguel Hidalgo, C.P. 11311Ciudad de México, Distrito Federalwww.pemex.com

In Mexico the petrochemical industry is governed by the Regulatory Law of the 27th Article on Oil Matters in the Constitution, passed on November 29, 1958.

Regulations for the institutionalization of the development policies of the petrochemical industry were passed in 1971, and the industry was divided into two sectors, Basic and Secondary Petrochemicals. The above mentioned regulation set forth that the extraction, refining and production of oil and gas and the products that constitute the Basic Petrochemical Industry were exclusively reserved for the government through Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

The secondary petrochemical Industry includes all the by-products of the processes subsequent to those already mentioned. In this case private and foreign investments play a very important role. According to the law, foreign investment can participate in this sector with 40% of the investments.

Thus, under this Regulatory Law, the government-owned company practically dominated petrochemical production in Mexico. In spite of this fact, it has been recognized that thanks to the driving force of PEMEX´s investments within the legal framework, an industrial structure was established where private businessmen and PEMEX developed the adequate infrastructure for the domestic market.

The growth reported by the petrochemical industry in general from 1960 until 1980 was accelerated. From 30 products in 1960 which made a total of 395,000 tons, in 1980 there were more than 200 products for a total of 8,830 tons. This meant an average growth rate of 16.8%. All this contributed to a growing self sufficiency in supply, thus decreasing the import of basic products, from 50% in 1960 to less than 20% in 1980. At the same time, exports of domestic petrochemical products were uncertain because they were carried out under a scheme of installed capacity surpluses, which amounted to only 5.5% of domestic production.

Insufficient production capacity in most of the basic petrochemical products created the need to import such products in order to meet the domestic market demand.

During 1973, 1974 and in early 1975, there was a shortage of petrochemical raw

28

materials in the international market. The influencing factors were the few investments made in new production capacity in the industrialized countries and the embargo decreed by the oil exporting countries. Thus, the requirements of the basic petrochemical industry could not be satisfied in the domestic market, and when this was possible, prices were well above the previous prices. In view of the energy crisis and considering the large amount of raw materials available in the oil and natural gas deposits discovered in Mexico, the need came to develop a basic industry of such proportions that it would guarantee the supply of the inputs required for domestic industrial growth, reducing dependency from abroad.

Starting in 1975 and in the following ten years, a national plan for industrial development was initiated, providing tax and economic incentives for the industry, such as differentials for energy products and basic petrochemical inputs. In view of the situation, sufficient production capacity would be installed to export 25% during three years, without this commitment implying the neglect of the domestic market. This was done with the purpose of contributing to the development of a competitive industry oriented towards exporting.

On one side, the government would be responsible for the supply of energy products and water, and also for providing the infrastructure required for housing, communications and services. Also, the construction of four large producing complexes originated from this plan: La Cangrejera, Cosoleacaque, Pajaritos and Morelos, and six smaller centers, Escolín, Camargo, Salamanca, Tula and Independencia. At the same time that PEMEX´s petrochemical industry was growing, the growth of the Mexican chemical industry also started, with the creation of new companies.

After Mexico joined the GATT, the industry in general faced strong market pressures. This forced the government to see the need of restructuring the petrochemical industry, and in August, 1989, the first steps were taken to reclassify most of the so-called basic petrochemical products, opening this industry to private investment, arguing that such classification was made in order for private investment to complement public investment, which by that time was scarce.

The amendments made to the Regulatory Law set forth that the extraction, refining and production of oil and gas, as well as the manufacturing of the products classified as basic petrochemicals would be reserved exclusively for the government through PEMEX. At the same time, all the products classified as secondary petrochemicals would require a license for their production. Such licenses would be awarded by Comisión Petroquímica Mexicana (Mexican Petrochemical Commission), that existed at that time.

The following 20 products were considered as basic petrochemicals: ammonia, benzene, butadiene, dodecylbenzene, ethane, ethyl methyl terbuthyl, ethylene, heptane, hexane, raw material for carbon black, methanol, n-parafins, o-xylene, p-xylene, penthanes, propylene, ter amyl methyl ether, propylene tetramer, toluene

29

and xylenes.

Sixty six products were included in secondary petrochemicals: 2-ethyl-hexanol, acetaldehyde, vinyl acetate, acetylene, acetone cyanhydrin, acetone, acetonitrile, acetic acid, acrylic acid, prussic acid, terephthalic acid, acrylonitrile, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), acreolin, oxo alcohols, alpha olefins, acetic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, aniline, butyraldehyde, caprolactam, cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, chlorobenzenes, chloromethanes, chloroprene, ethyl chloride, vinyl chloride, styrene-propylene-copolymer, cumene, dichloroethane, dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene-propylene elastomers, styrene, styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), ethanolamines, ethylamines, ethylbenzene, phenol, formaldehyde, ammonium phosphate, styrene butadiene rubber, isobutyraldehyde, isoprene, isopropanol, methyl methacrylate, methylamines, ammonium nitrate, nitrobenzenes, nitrofoluene, n-butanol, internal olefines, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, paraformaldehyde, pentaeritritol, polybutadiene, polybutenes, high-density polyethylene (PEAD), low-density polyethylene (PEBD), low density linear polyethylene (PELBD), polypropylene, ammonium sulphate, terbutanol and urea. Later, with the execution of commercial treaties with other countries, especially the Northamerica Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Canada, the industry faced a growing and fierce competition from abroad in the domestic market, because many local customers stopped buying petrochemical products and decided to import finished or semi-finished products, forcing the industry to look for export markets.

On July 16, 1992, 54 years after the oil expropriation, a new period started for PEMEX when the Congress of the United Mexican States passed the Organic Law of PETRÓLEOS MEXICANOS and Subsidiaries. This law sets forth the creation of four decentralized entities of a technical, industrial and commercial nature with their own legal capacity and capital. The purposes of these four entities are as follows:

PEMEX-Exploración y Producción is in charge of the prospecting and exploitation of oil and natural gas, their transportation, storage in terminals and marketing.

PEMEX-Refinación is in charge of the refining industrial processes, manufacturing of oil products and by-products which may be used as basic industrial raw materials, of the storage, transportation and distribution as well as marketing of the above mentioned products and by-products.

PEMEX-Gas y Petroquímica Básica is in charge of the processing of natural gas, liquids from natural gas and artificial gas and of the storage, transportation, distribution and marketing of these hydrocarbons, as well as that of any by-products which may serve as basic industrial raw materials.

PEMEX-Petroquímica is in charge of the petrochemical industrial processes for products which are not part of the basic petrochemical industry, as well as their

30

storage, distribution and marketing.

PEMEX-Internacional (PMI) is in charge of marketing abroad Petróleos Mexicanos products and of importing the inputs required by the entity when internal supply is not sufficient.

Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo (IMP) is in charge of promoting research and technological development, where the major objective is the development or assimilation of processes, procedures or products that help improve the competitive position of Petróleos Mexicanos, and also of the education, training and updating of the staff and students in the institutions involved.

According to the law published on August 17, 1992, a new classification of petrochemical products was decreed, with 8 products in basic petrochemicals: ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, naphthas and raw material for carbon black, and there are 13 secondary petrochemicals that require a license from the Secretariat of Energy for their production: acetylene, ammonia, benzene, butadiene, butylene, ethylene, methanol, n-parafins, o-xylene, p-xylene, propylene, toluene, xylene mix, which in spite of the reclassification, continue to be manufactured only by the government-owned company.

The 21 products not included in the preceding classification can be produced by the private, social or public sectors, and the only requirement is to register them with the Secretariat of Energy. The new reclassification was made because of the same reasons than the previous. However, this strategy was not very effective, since investments were not as expected. At the same time, national prioritiesprevented PEMEX from investing in the petrochemical sector.

Today, Pemex maintains monopoly control over eight basic petrochemicals -- butane, carbonblack feedstocks, ethane, heptane, hexane, naphtha, pentane, and propane. Mexico's secondarypetrochemical plants produce 13 types of petrochemicals at 61 plants located mainly in 10complexes. Pemex Petroquimica, the petrochemical unit of Pemex, hopes to obtain private fundsfor these secondary petrochemical complexes. However, throughout 1998 and 1999, plans tocapitalize the plants, using a 51% government/49% private ownership formula, were not provenpopular with investors and private companies, who would prefer controlling stakes in thesepetrochemical complexes. Pemex needs foreign capital in order to repair and upgrade itspetrochemical plants, which have deteriorated due to a lack of domestic investment. The mostmodern petrochemical complex is Petroquimica Morelos, in the southern part of the Gulf coaststate of Veracruz. Plans to upgrade this complex call for a $100 million infusion of capital: $49million from private investors, and $51 from the government. Morelos has a capacity of about350,000 metric tons of ethylene per year. The Mexican chemical industry runs large tradedeficits, often for raw materials supplied in insufficient quantities by Pemex. Lack of integrationand outdated production methods also are hampering the industry. Pemex is not able to provide afull amount of needed petrochemicals, and thus companies must import them. In fact,petrochemicals accounts for more than $3 billion per year in trade deficits with the United States.

Mexico's secondary petrochemical plants produce 13 types of petrochemicals at 61 plants locatedmainly in 10 complexes. Pemex Petroquimica, the petrochemical unit of Pemex, hopes tocapitalize -- that is, boost with private funds -- these secondary petrochemical complexes. In May1998, Energy Minister Tellez said that Pemex would seek private bids on the first of these plantsduring the third quarter of 1998. However, the plan to capitalize the plants using a 51%government/49% private ownership formula has not proven popular with investors and privatecompanies, who would prefer opportunities to obtain controlling stakes in these petrochemicalcomplexes. Pemex needs foreign capital in order to repair and upgrade its petrochemical plants,which have deteriorated due to a lack of domestic investment in the sector. Earlier this yeardeputy Deputy Energy Minister Jorge Chavezstated that the Mexico's petrochemical plantssuffered from "obsolescence of scale" and needed a lot of investments. The most modernpetrochemical complex is Petroquimica Morelos, in the southern part of the Gulf coast state ofVeracruz. Plans to upgrade the complex call for a $100 million infusion of capital: $49 millionfrom private investors, and $51 from the government. Morelos has a capacity of about 350,000metric tons of ethylene per year. The Mexican petrochemical industry stretches south fromTampico around the Bay of Campeche, with many facilities concentrated at Veracruz.

Mexico has the key ingredients for a successful petrochemical industry: a large and rapidlygrowing internal market, access to U.S. and other Latin American markets and a rich supply ofethane feedstocks from oil and gas production. Ethane and ethylene kick off a petrochemicalchain that leads to production of four of the world's most widely used plastics—polyethylene,polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene.

Despite its advantages, the Mexican petrochemical industry remains relatively small, ranking14th in the world in ethylene production, for example, with 1.3 billion tons per year of capacity.In contrast, Texas and Louisiana have nameplate capacity of 25.9 billion tons per year, a figurethat dwarfs that of the world's second—largest producer, Japan, with 6.9 billion tons per year.There are four complexes in the Houston metropolitan area alone that have more ethylenecapacity. Only about half the ethane currently produced in Mexico is used as feedstock; the restis returned to the natural gas stream to be burned.

Pemex's petrochemical subsidiary owns 70 plants in 10 complexes that produce a wide array ofbase and intermediate products for plastics and synthetic fibers and rubber. Most of these plantswere built in the mid—1980s or earlier, with the notable exception of those in the large Moreloscomplex, where production started between 1988 and 1994. A recent assessment of these plantsby the Mexican Secretary of Energy found them small by current world standards, employingobsolete technologies and needing improvements to enhance performance, safety andenvironmental controls. The report estimated that if these plants were located in Texas orLouisiana, less than half their combined capacity would be economically viable.

Complementing Pemex operations are a large and growing number of private Mexican andforeign petrochemical operations with successful niches in the Mexican market. Leadershipamong the Mexican companies belongs to Alpek, a subsidiary of Monterrey—basedconglomerate Grupo Alfa. Along with Shell and BASF, Alpek has spearheaded development of

32

the private petrochemical complex at Altamira, near Tampico. The most aggressive of theforeign companies is BASF, which operates nine facilities with 2,000 employees in Mexico. Itslargest investments are in styrene and copolymers at Altamira.

Last year, Profepa named Pemex the nation's worst eco-offender in terms of emissions in 2000.The oil company garnered a rating of 11.2 for air pollution on a scale of one to 100, with 100representing perfect and zero being extremely grave.

PRIVATIZING PETROCHEMICALSsource: —Robert W. Gilmer and Joan E. Williamshttp://www.dallasfed.org/htm/pubs/houston/9905.html

Opening petrochemicals to private Mexican and foreign investment has been a prolonged processof defining and redefining what is "oil"—national patrimony reserved to Pemex—and what issimply value—added in a production chain that begins with oil and natural gas liquids. InMexican terminology, products reserved to Pemex are "basic," and other, "secondary"petrochemicals may be privately produced, in some cases with a permit from the federalgovernment.

Pemex domination of Mexican petrochemicals peaked in 1986, when the number of basicpetrochemicals was reduced from 70 to 34 and a 40—percent limit on foreign participation insecondary petrochemicals was dropped. The list of basic petrochemicals was shortened again in1989, 1991 and 1992, and in 1996 all restrictions on secondary petrochemicals were eliminated.As recently as 1989 the basic list included such important commodity chemicals as ethylene,propylene, methanol, benzene and toluene. However, the restricted list today is confined tocarbon black and naphthas, plus the natural gas liquid feedstocks: ethane, propane, butane,pentane, hexane and heptane. In principle, the petrochemical industry is open to Mexican andforeign capital alike, apart from a Pemex monopoly on feedstocks.

It is important to distinguish Mexico's basic/secondary terminology from the industry's definitionof base or commodity chemicals that appear early in chemical commodity chains. Thepetrochemical industry is sometimes divided into four parts, according to where products appearon the production chain. Feedstocks are the energy product input: naphtha, methane, ethane,propane and so on. The first stage of processing produces high—volume commodity basepetrochemicals, with methanol, ammonia, ethylene, propylene and toluene among them. A largenumber of intermediate products appear between the base chemicals and final products:formaldehyde, nitric acid and ethylene dioxide, for example. Final products would include resins,fertilizer, polyester, synthetic fibers and polyurethane foam. From this perspective the Mexicanbasic petrochemicals are simply the feedstocks, and privatized, secondary petrochemicals are thebase, intermediate and final products.

This structure can also be used to describe the ownership pattern of Mexican petrochemicals,beginning with the Pemex monopoly on feedstocks. Base petrochemicals and most earlyintermediates (such as ethylene oxide or ethylene dichloride) remain dominated by Pemex,

33

which held 74.6 percent of this base and intermediate market in 1995. Private Mexican andforeign firms generally operate further downstream, well into the intermediates (formaldehyde orphenol) or producing final plastic, resin or synthetic rubber. In 1995 non—Pemex productionwas about one—third of Mexican petrochemical output, most of it concentrated welldownstream.

PRIVATIZATION STALLS

In January 1995 the Zedillo administration announced its intent to sell all Pemex petrochemicalcomplexes, with the Cosoleacaque ammonia plant the first to go on the block. Pemex wouldremain as a minority partner with a 20—percent participation, and the oil union contract wouldbe transferred to the new owner. Companies in Mexico, the United States and Norway expressedinterest in purchasing the complex. But political opposition, led by the oil workers union,ultimately killed the deal in the summer of 1996. The transfer of Pemex property to private orforeign hands simply proved impossible.

This was the point at which the opportunity was lost to move the bulk of the existing Mexicanpetrochemical industry into private hands. Further efforts have been made to attract privatecapital to Pemex plants, but to no effect. The modern Morelos complex was recently marketedunder a cumbersome bidding process. Unable to sell the complex outright, the Secretary ofEnergy sought private Mexican and foreign partners for Pemex that might be willing to invest inmodernizing the plant and share in the ownership of Morelos in proportion to the capital broughtto the table. However, Pemex would remain majority owner, the oil union workers contractwould remain in place and foreign ownership would be even further restricted to 24 percent orless of the complex. Despite some initial interest, this restrictive scheme ultimately drew noformal bids.

The dilemma Mexican petrochemicals is clear. The country has higher priorities for its publicinvestment than petrochemicals and has not invested much more than routine maintenance in itsplants since the early 1990s. Two—thirds of Mexican chemical production is in the hands of anincreasingly unreliable supplier. Attracting foreign investment to the commodity petrochemicalniche Pemex now occupies is problematic at best (such investment has been rare outside ofCanada and Saudi Arabia), and it is complicated further by the Pemex monopoly on feedstocks.Ironclad guarantees of globally competitive feedstock prices would be imperative.

Mexico's National Association of Industrial Chemists recently described the emerging future asone of a maquiladora chemical industry—one in which basic feedstocks are purchased abroadand the potential for domestic value—added is limited to less capital—intensive downstreamprocesses. Given Mexico's rich resource base, this is a high price to pay for not bringing itsenergy institutions into line with the global market.

President Fox has ambitious plans to restructure and modernize Mexican government andindustry, including petrochemicals and the energy sector (although privatization of the state oilcompany Pemex has been ruled out as politically infeasible). Fox has stated his commitment tomaking the country less financially reliant on oil exports, which currently generate about one-third of government revenues. Mexico is producing and consuming rapidly increasing quantities

34

of natural gas, and much of the country's vast gas reserves remain untapped. Some of Fox'sproposed changes will require changes to the Mexican Constitution. It remains unclear that Foxwill be able to generate the required two-thirds majority in the bicameral Congress to enact aconstitutional change. The PRI is the largest party in the federal Congress (where no party has amajority) and the majority party in the Senate, and the PRI remains divided between a moreprogressive wing and a wing more resistant to change.

Higher Education / Industrial Linkages - Mexico

(Source: CONACyT, 1999)

Recently a government report on fostering S&T activity in Mexico provided the followingrecommendations related to university / industry relations:

•decrease the concentration of international cooperation now centered in specific groups ofinvestigators, institutions and regions of the country;

•take a more active role in defining common interests and programs with internationalcounterparts;

•intensify cooperation with NAFTA partners and open new areas of cooperation, particularlywith countries in the european community and the Asian Pacific region;

•establish programs to bring recognized international scientists and Mexicans living overseas toMexico;

•analyze international experiences industry-university linkages in order to adapt them for use inMexico;

•foster programs of international cooperation in which academics and business people canparticipate;

•include regional groups and research institutions in international cooperative programs;

•establish international financing strategies to foster scientific research, technology development,the development of human resources and closer ties between the academic and industrial sectors;

•encourage greater participation by Mexico in multinational programs in science and technologyand to facilitate the access of Mexican scientists and technologists to laboratories andinfrastructure in other countries.

Here are some existing linkages among higher education and industry in Mexico.

Higher Education – Mexico(Source: UNESCO, World of Learning, 1996)

Structure of system The usual entrance qualification is the Certificado de secundaria. In addition, students normallyhave to take an entrance examination. Among some 401 institutions of higher education, thefollowing categories can be distinguished: a) public universities, autonomous universities andthose universities supported by one of the states; b) autonomous private institutions, recognizedby the Secretaría de Educacion Pública, the state governments or the public universities; and c)teacher training and technical institutions and decentralized public institutions that come undervarious secretariates of state. Public institutions are almost entirely financed by the State. Privateinstitutions are financed for the most part by students' fees. The teacher training establishmentsinclude: the Universidad Pedagogica Nacional; the advanced, specialized teacher trainingcolleges and other teacher training colleges coming under state governments and privateinstitutions. Higher education in the technological fields is offered above all by the InstitutoPolitécnico Nacional, founded in 1946, as well as by the regional technological institutes,founded since 1948 to meet the need for professional training, in particular in engineering andadministration. The Instituto Politécnico Nacional includes a Centre for Research and HigherStudies which helps to train research workers and teaching staff for scientific and technicalsubjects.

Highlights

Mexico's president, Vicente Fox, picked Reyes Tamez Guerra, dean of the National AutonomousUniversity of Nuevo Leon, in northern Monterrey, for the education secretary post.

Mr. Tamez, 48, is an ACS member and biochemist who studied at the university he now headsbefore earning his doctorate at the National Polytechnic Institute.

He supports the development of distance learning -- which has been put forward as a way toovercome Mexico's many education problems -- with the proviso that it not serve as a substitutefor interaction between teachers and students. The secretary has suggested that Mexicaninstitutions of higher learning themselves find ways to come up with the money for 30 percent oftheir budgets. Currently, the federal government subsidizes about 90 percent of publicuniversities' finances.

Mexico is the 10th largest sending country for international students in the United States.Federal expenditures for higher education in Mexico are not projected to grow beyond .65% ofGDP – setting the stage for greater demand for private expenditures in both private and publicinstitutions.Conacyt, the National Council in Science and Technology, provides 65 percent of the highereducation scholarships supported by the federal government.Total enrollments in master's and doctoral programs in Mexico went from 46,000 in 1990 to123,000 in 1998.Between 1990 and 1998 academics hired by the private sector in Mexico grew by 92% -although most are hired on a part-time basis.

The Secretary of Public Education, through CONACyT, has called for the followingimprovements in Mexican Higher Education:

•increase the post-graduate scholarship program in Mexico and overseas, with priority given topost-doctoral programs;

•reinforce the repatriation program for previous scholarship recipients;

•increase the number of teachers holding doctoral degrees;

•increase the number of university students in science and engineering majors;

•improve the quality of domestic post-doctorate programs and to stimulate the establishment andrecognition of national doctoral programs comparable to those of other countries;

68

•encourage professional practices in industry and promote industry participation in financingmaster's degrees;

•improve the professional training of technicians, researchers, and managers in industry.

The Academy was founded in 1959 to foster scientific research in Mexico. In 1999 it had amembership of 1241 with 155 chemists. Over 80% of the membership appertain to the NationalSystem of Researchers in Mexico. The Academy presidency is held Dr. Francisco BolivarZapata. Each year the Academy recoginzes through 15 awards programs exceptional scientificcontributions and organizes through its sections each year 7 to 8 meetings. There is also annational evaluation regime of doctoral programs.

In early 1993, $2,000,000 were obtained from the US Government through the Agency forInternational Development (AID) and were matched by the Mexican Government. (An additional$150,000 were obtained from AID in 1994).

In its initial stage the Foundation received support from the National Academy of Sciences toorganize its activities and to set up adequate links with the United States Government agencies.

109

Since then, several programs have been carried out to promote cooperation in science andtechnology between both countries: Binational Research Projects, Summer Fellowships, VisitingSenior Scientists and Graduate Fellowships. Since October 1996, the Foundation has beenexploring new forms of operation, focusing on specific issues financed by sponsoring entities:Water in Health and the Environment at the Border, with EPA financing:Activities with the Hewlett Foundation to support the training of specialists in Science andTechnology Policy;

Workshops on Advanced Research Techniques, also supported by the Hewlett Foundation;

Exchanges between universities of the United States and Mexico to promote linkages with smalland medium size industries, undertaken with financing from SEP

In 1998 PEMEX (Mexican Petroleum) decided to promote research and development in the

111

Mexican Institute of Petroleum, where 6 research programs have been established:biotechnology/ environent/heavy oil processing/corrosion/oil exploration and recovery/molecular simulation. The total number of researchers today is around 450 but the plan is to have1000 by year 2003. This number of researchers is very important if you consider that theNational System of Researchers has in total close to 7000 members. Also the budget allocationwill certainly change the figures for Mexico. Perhaps the most important point to comment isthat all the research projects are related to industrial problems and they cover from basic scienceto transfer of technology.

ACS Members Informant Interviews – Mexico

Meetings in Mexico October 16-21, 1999

During October 16-21, 1999, the Mexican Chemical Society conducted its annual meeting inMonterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico at the Cintermex Conference Center. Representing the ACSwere the President, Edel Wasserman; Chairman of the ACS Board of Directors, Henry Whalen;John Malin, Administrator of the Office of International Activities and Brad Miller, Senior StaffAssociate of the IAO. Five interview sessions were conducted with ACS members residing inMexico. The following are highlights from the interviews, as well as salient points raised duringa two-day SQM symposium on Chemically Related higher education / industry / governmentlinkages.

Innovation and national competitiveness in Mexico. Innovation and new technologies come toMexican chemical enterprise through: 1) buying existing patents / licenses; 2) off-shore R&Dfrom parent companies; 3) mergers and acqusitions; 4) maquila relationships (in which Mexicanfirms are responsible mainly for final assembly of products from components producedelsewhere); and 5) local research and development.

The greatest needs for successful linkage in Mexico are in the construction, agriculture andenvironmental sectors. In order to get the most from linkage relationships, Mexican industryhopes to develop a fast track to competitive advantage focusing on those core business. Mexicanhigher education needs better resources and reputation. Faculties, in particular, desire improvedreputations, better resources and more student placements. Students want good jobs.Government wants improved industrial processes through more new technology and bettertechnology transfer.

Industrial Priorities for Technology Transfer. With respect to innovation in Mexicanchemical industries, there is a trend towards decreasing process costs, importing patents andactive ingredients, focusing on simpler steps of finished chemical production, and short-termlinkages with universities. Representatives of chemical companies in Mexico reported that theyfocus on acquiring new knowledge and technology dedicated to (in rank order) 1. modificationof an existing process; 2. adaptation of equipment; 3. development of new products; 4.Intelligence gathering on alternative technologies; 5. manufacturing to new standards; 6. processdesign for improved productivity.

Off-site technical linkages for companies in Mexico involve articulation withforeign companies, national companies, national universities, and researchcenters with focus on technical assistance, equipment manufacture, new processand product development. Mexican chemical industries use the following sources (in rank order)for new technologies and innovation in the field: 1. magazines and patent purchase; 2. plantvisits; 3. conferences; 4. trade fairs; 5. Internet; 6. Government offices.

In linkages, both sides must view the joint endeavor as a business. Higher ed needs to take thelead more in promoting their services to industry. Government (CONACyT) has assisted by

120

implementing a program of industrial funding for linkage-based R&D. Most contract workcomes from government and to some extent from medium-sized enterprise; small-enterprisework is often problem-based one-off product analysis activity.

Mexican Experiences with Industry/University Interactions. Representatives from both thebusiness and higher education sectors agreed that numerous fruitful interactions have taken placeand are ongoing. A large fraction of the interactions seems to involve chemical engineeringfaculty. Industry / higher ed linkage activities include (in rank order): 1. Informal facultyconsultations; 2. Problem-based contracted product analysis / applied research projects; 3.Shared facility use; 4. Student practical / short-term employment; 5.student thesis development;6. Provision of employee training and development clinics e.g. operating new equipment; 7. On-site degree programs for employees.

Some experiments in collaboration have produced criticism from the higher ed sector citing alack of clarity in agreements, failure to cover actual costs, unrealistic time frame requirementsand irrelevance of the research problems to academic research interests. They noted thatindustrial research projects are either proprietary or mundane.

From the industrial perspective, participants criticized a lack of clarity on what higher ed offers,poor understanding on the part of the universities of how to sell skills, and academics’ limitedknowledge of business. Speakers noted the following reasons for industry not working withhigher ed in Mexico: 1. Industry doesn’t know university capabilities; 2. The company has itsown R&D center; 3. Delivery of service by universities is too slow to fit urgent industrialproblems; 4. Collaborative agreements are difficult to formalize; 5. Costs are too high; 6. Thecompany does not perform R&D in Mexico.

There is a need for (and CONACyT is supporting) staff / liaison offices inindustry and higher ed dedicated exclusively to marketing, maintaining,understanding and communicating how industry and higher ed linkages operate.

Research Centers. Some (8-10) research centers in Mexico are quasi-governmental; costrecovery in nature; with modest indirect cost rates(15%). In contrast, higher ed indirect ratiosrun 25% to 30%, e.g., at Monterrey Tech.

Research center scientists’ salaries are based on the number and quality of publications, eachindividual’s SNI classfication (a national qualification system for investigators), and apercentage of grants brought in.

There is a tendency towards research centers organizing themselves to providecourses and confer degrees in research fields.

Meetings with ACS Members 1-2 December 1999

Camino Real HotelMexico City, Mexico

121

During a visit to Mexico City to attend the ceremony designating the Marker Degradation andthe Mexican Hormonal Derivative Industry as international historic chemical landmarks (co-sponsored by the Sociedad Química de México and the American Chemical Soceity) Dr. HelenFree, ACS Past-President and Dr. Bradley Miller of the ACS Office of International Activitiesscheduled a series of meetings at the Camino Real Hotel with ACS members who hadparticipated in a fall email survey

The purpose of the meetings was to get acquainted with ACS members living in Mexico, followup the September 1999 survey, and to gather further information for the ACS Latin AmericanBrief. We were specifically interested in the challenges they saw facing chemical enterprise andChemically Related higher education, research, government, and professional groups in Mexico -to get their perspectives on how these challenges might best be met and the role professionalsocieties (in Mexico and the USA) might play in catalyzing collaboration among these sectors,nationally and transnationally.

Situation: There is a need for Chemically Related organizations (SQM, ANIQ, IMIQ and AFM)to come together to address issues of curriuclar reform in higher education, entry to practice, andcontinuing professional education for chemists.

Suggestion: To stimulate interactions among these organizations it is best to convene them todevelop voluntary quality assurance standards along the lines of certification developed by theNRCC for clinical chemistis and some of ACS’ work in certifying of specialists (health andsafety and environmental) or some of the health care professions in Mexico. However, changesin governance (and their concomitant interests) of the organizations can result in interactionswhich are not sustained.

Situation: Instead of collaborating with local universities or research centers Chemically Relatedplant staff of MNC’s are likely to be sent offshore to headquarters for training on equipment,software, process / product quality or environmental management systems. Additionally, MNC’swill ship offshore samples to the headquarters or R&D facility for analysis. Small and mediumsized enterprises have even less collaboration with higher ed.

Suggestion: Conduct society-sponsored symposia (in Spanish) on US models of higher ed /industry collaboration with emphasis on how US universities promote their services to industry –contract research, product analyses, training & development. Include in the symposia respondentpanels to comment on what aspects might or might not be relevant.

Situation: Suppliers / vendors / consultants / contractors are very dynamic and keep in contactwith who is doing what with what equipment across a variety of clients and prospective clients(small, medium and large enterprise) in industry, higher ed, and research centers. They arefamiliar with needs, expertise and equipment holdings.

Suggestion: Suppliers / vendors / consultants / contractors can be tapped to sponsor workshops(in Spanish) to present their experiences and issues they encounter across Chemically Relatedsectors; include a session on the role they might play in catalyzing collaboration.

122

Situation: Globalization carries with it a demand for higher level employee skills and abilitieswhich tend not to be as readily available from local educational programs especially formanagerial openings. Reliance upon student-based outreach for coop placement – turning intorecruitment. In Mexico there are many baccalaureate-level graduates credentialed with QFB’s;they end up as technicians or in QA. MS students with US degrees or chemical engineeringPh.D. graduates from reputable institutions in Mexico are preferred for management recruitment.Evidence of increasing numbers of ‘transpatriates’ in global chemical industry.

Suggestion: Convene society-sponsored student coop placement and career service fairs.Include sessions addressing models of shared intellectual property.

In the past I was involvedin many efforts to encourage Mexican industry to use university research - either by contractingit or by taking advantage of what was published. We were usually unsuccessful. Both theAsociación Farmacéutica Mexicana (of which I am a member) and the Mexican ChemicalSociety make sporadic efforts to get academics to work with the industryand industry to use the university resources. Recently I don't know how that is going.Thebiggest complaints by industry is that the university people were too laid back and wouldn'tcommit to a business like contract, wouldn't keep a time table, wouldn't deliver on time, anddidn't understand that industry needs practical results. The researchers complained that theindustrialists were always trying to pin them down, that they didn't understand that research takestime, and so on. ** I have organized few International workshops./ Symposia and Conferences inEnvironmental Sciences/Water and wastewater treatment/ I am also Organiser in IAWQmeetings.

9) What do you feel are the characteristics of a successful university / industry collaboration inMexico?

Identify opportunity areas into industry Promoving future proffesionals into students withscholarship and grants ** The best relation between Universities and Industry are when aresearch proyect is stablished in which the university develops a procedure for that industry andin doing that trains students in the subject which later are hired by the industry. In order for thisto happen, the project has to be very well stablished and the objectives very clearly defined. Thismeans that the industry is not only using the university facilities because they do not have theinstruments or the human resources in their location. This later case is common and on them theindustry has a problem and just transfer it to the Univesrity and this leaves nothing (somemoney) but is not a real challenge and serves not educational purposes. ** Common goals andobjectives on both parties. ** It is important that people in industry realize that "time-scales" inuniversities are different (months to years) to those they deal with (today is good, yesterday evenbetter, tomorrow not so good). In contracts, they should guarantee a continuity of the project, sothat students are not strangled, financial support is not suddenly terminated, etc. Of course,chemists at the university must understand that they must provide useful results in a reasonabletime, if the collaboration is to be renewed. ** First thing is getting trust of industry, second:efficiently get chemicals and technical support for our analitical instruments ** IT MUST BEECONOMICALLY SUPPORTED BY THE INDUSTRY, BESIDES THE TECHNICALASPECT. ** Industry has to open itself in the sense that they must be very clear as to what areyheir needs in the medium and long range plans. This has not occurred in yhe appropriate scalein the past. Most industries in Mexico are still technologically dependent of developed countries.** THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED OF THE DOMESTIC INDUSTRY **Industry must accept their is a risk in R&D projects; Research projects must be relevant to bothIndustry and University ** University/govermental: brains, mentality focused on industrialresearch; Industry: Inclination toward modifications and/or innovations, trust,patience, financialflexibility. ** Poder participar en el mejoramiento de procesos quimicos ** A piece of researchthat can be used immediately in an industrial process. It should be practical, should not involveraw materials or equipment difficult to obtain (Mexican customs is still a big barrier),and itshould work upon scale up. ** In México there is not enough university/industry collaboration,becausethe research and development in the private industry is poor ** I made my mexican and USpatent in the University and it has been transferred to industries and I have good positive opinionon Technology transfers in Mexico. I would like to promote this type of promoting technology toMexico. There is a great hope for the future in Technology transfers to Industry and

126

the most of the Industries are showing great interest as well. ** a) confidence; b) equivalentcapacities (there are few scientists in the industry in Mexico); c) clear objectives **Understanding each side duties ** Well defined scope and objectives, and good follow up ofactivities. ** THE UNIVERSITY WHERE I¨M STUDYING IS A PRIVATE ONE, SO ITDOESN´T HAVE AS MUCH MONEY FOR R&D AS A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. THE KEYIN A SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION RELIES ON THE MONEY THE DIFFERENTCOMPANIES CAN BRING TO THE UNIVERSITY AND ON THE OTHER HAND ONLETTING THE STUDENTS HAVE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATION ON THE PROJECTS. **DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE ACADEMIC PERSONNEL THAT IS DESIRED FOR THECOLLABORATION ** Las colaboraciones exitosas son aquellas que impactan directamente yen corto tiempo alguna problemática particular de la industria. Esto significa queproyectos de investigacion aplicada o el proporcionar servicios tienen mucha mas aceptacion enel &mbito industrial que los proyectos de investigacion basica. **

10) What facilitates development of such collaborations?New products; Analytical results to improve products; Expertise of people ** When theuniversity research groups present their work in congresess or meettings attended by people fromindustry, on them research groups show their capabilities so industry can later be prepared to usethem. ** Offering of scholarships for students to conduct thesis from the part of the industriesinvolved. Commitment from the high ranking officials on both parties. ** We are verycompetitives in prices with regard to collaborations with USA universities or research centers **RECIPROCAL CONFIDENCE IN THE MANAGMENT OF THE RESOURCES ** THEHIGH STANDARDS OF OUR UNIVERSITY AND THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK ** TopManagement approval (both Industry and University); Personal acquaintance among theindividuals involved in the collaboration; Interdisciplinary team Communications ** Lacercania entre la universidad y la industria ** University/ Patents/Patented technology developedfor waste waters/ Financial involvement thorough promoters etc Involve in the collaborations **a) employment stability; b) good economic situation in the country (stability again!); c) clearlegislation ** The aquisition of reagents and equipment, sometimes ** People with goodcustomer oriented attitudes. ** I´M ACTUALLY WORKING ON A THESIS THAT WAS OFMY VERY OWN INTEREST, SO I DON´T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE INSTITUTION ISDOING RIGHT NOW TO FACILITATE THIS DEVELOPMENT OF THECOLLABORATIONS, BUT I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW IN MEXICO IT IS EXTREMELYDIFFICULT TO GET THE NECESSARY REACTANTS FOR SOME RESEARCHPROJECTS. ** A REAL INTEREST OF THE COLLABORATORS IN SOLVING THEPROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO THEM, AND AN ACADEMIC INTERESTIN THE AREA OF RESEARCH ** Comunicacion, Vinculacion y Credibilidad. Lasuniversidades debieran conocer los problemas del sector industrial y cultivar conocimientoalrededor de estos temas. Los industriales debieran conocer la investigacion que se hace en lasuniversidades y estar dispuestos a invertir en programas de largo plazo. Asimismo, ambas partesdeben ser flexibles en establecer acuerdos de secrecia convenientes a ambos. **

11) What hinders or is problematic for development of such collaborations?

127

In México sometimes money; Confidential aspects ** Some times scientist inside industry arevery receptive of the capabilities of the universities but it is very difficult to get themthrough to the managment or decision making groups within the industry. Thecommon (but mistaken) conception that research at universities has no timeand that solution of problems take forever is the major drawback. ** Lack of common goals andobjectives. Full time dedication to the project of the people involved. ** Lack of common goalsand objectives. Full time dedication to the project of the people involved. ** Lack ofcommunication / suspicion / industry trying to get as much as possible for as little as possiblecompensation ** Industrial sponsors doesn't have trust in mexican laboratories ** THE LACKOF COMPROMISE OF THE OWNERS OR "DECISION TAKING" PEOPLE IN THECOMPANIES. ** THE DIFFERENT TIME-SPACE BETWEEN ACADEMIA ANDINDUSTRY ** Formalizing the relationship (Contracts or Agreements);Mexican Industry doesnot like to publish the results of a project; Property Rights;Availability of technical personnel **The characteristics of the Mexican industry (means national capital)are mainly opposite to thosementioned in Item #9. Some of them have their own research groups. The most industries locatedin Mexico belong to foreign owners or are joint ventures which have their research groupsabroad. The local managers are not in position to make decision. The Mexican academicscientists/researchers are mainly not accustomed to be in contact with the industry. ** Lamentalidad de los industriales mexicanos ** Sometimes improper communications betweenindustry (sometimes I fail my routine academic activity due to hevay scheduled visit toindustries) /not proven technology. Insufficient funds and support from university departments(except my Institute of Engineering). ** a) red tape (both University and Industry; b) lack ofstimulus (tax breaks..) for the industry to do research ** Law agreements and University andIndustry policies ** Bureaucracy excessive red tape ** MEXICO IS EXTREMELY BACK INR&D BECAUSE ALL THE COMPANIES HERE WANT TO SEE IMMIDIATE RESULTS,NOT LONG TERM RESULTS AS THE ONES PROVIDED BY SCIENTIFIC WORK, SOTHEY DON´T INVEST ANYTHING ON EQUIPMENT. AT THIS MOMENT A HUGEPROBLEM IS THE STRIKE IN THE MAIN UNIVERSITY OF THE COUNTRY, WHICHHAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE TO PROVIDE ALL THE EQUIPMENT, REAGENTS ANDPUBLICATIONS RESOURCES. ** THAT SUPPOSED COLLABORATORS REALLYDONT GIVE THE ACCORDED TIME TO THE RESEARCH PROGRAM BECAUSE OFTHEIR INTEREST IN OTHER ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE UNIVERSITIES. ** Los esquemasineficientes y burocráticos que existen tanto en la industria como en las universidadespara efectuar la vinculacion. La falta de conocimiento y/o masa critica en las universidades pararesponder con la premura y efectividad que los industriales quisieran. Los esquemas deevaluacion de los universitarios, mismos que ocasionan que los academicos esten cultivandoconocimiento en areas totalmente ajenas a la problematica de la industria nacional. **

12) What, in your opinion, would improve the quality and sustainability of university / industrycollaborations, and have you encountered or do you expect to encounter issues of intellectualproperty - how can this, too be improved?

Increase the support to research; To know more about universities ** A clear mutualunderstanding of objectives and capabilities within the project definition. The clear setting of

128

programs and time windows within the project. ** The quality is directly related to thebackground of the researchers working on the project, they must have the appropriate profile(training). The intellectual property issues are more important for industry people than foracademics at this stage. It can be improved with a detailed reglamentation. ** Exchange ofresearchers/chemists to and from academia/university ** Get started working with mexicanlaboratories. In some cases we have identical facilities and abilities as our counterparts in USA.In many cases, industrial scientist doesn't have the same level of creativity and hability as that ofacademic scientists. Create a national code of conduct for scientists. ** THERE MUST BEINTEREST BY THE GOVERNMENT IN FACILITATE THESE ACTIVITIES THROUGHFISCAL INCENTIVES AND REINFORCMENT OF THE INTELECTUAL PROPERTY LAW.** My experience es the fromer Head of the Basic Research Division of the Mexican PetroleumInstitue, 25 years ago, was and still persists is the lack of a true Mexican Industry from thetechnological point of view. Industry hardly needs the assistance of Academia for theirperformance except in few cases. ** SHOWING THE BENEFITS OF SUCHCOLLABORATIONS TO THE COMMUNITY ** One way to do is presenting in seminars andconventions the successful industry/university relationships. As I mentioned before theintellectual property issues are very delicate and many times act as a barrier for a relationship.This issue must be clearly defined in the Agreement. One way to improve is giving proper creditto the university researchers as inventors. ** Aumentando la investigación y desarrollo a nivel dela industria mexicana ** Money would help. Foreign clients would help. For instance, if anAmerican chemical company wanted some laboratory work done - eitherroutine analyses or perhaps a synthesis development - it could probably be done quite cheaply inMexico. The first effort would need patience squared. But once a working arrangement isfunctioning, it could be profitable to both sides and can lead to more work contractedto Mexico. Intellectual property isn't much of an issue here, although there are patents. Theyreally don't have teeth and getting a judgement on patent infringement can be frustrating. Thebiggest problem is that information in general is not easily shared, whether it's patentable or not.** This issues can be improved through frequent seminars/conferences by inviting industriesand academic institutions and participation of govt organizations etc would improve tounderstand the importance of Industry/University collaboration and Intellectual propertyImportance and its proper use in a country. ** I think that industry should try to develop seriousresearch groups. The experience with companies that have done so shows that collaboration iseasy and the results very satisfactory ** Sharing in both cases ** Well defined terms in thecontracts ** THE UNIVERSITY HAS TO CONVINCE THE MANAGERS OF THEDIFFERENT COMPANIES ABOUT THE ENORMOUS BENEFFITS OF CUTTING EDGER&D AND HAS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO INVEST ON THE NEWCOMINGSCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING GENERATIONS. ** ESTABLISHING AREAS ORINSTITUTES WHERE THESE PROGRAMS SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT GOALTO ACHIEVE, DEDICATED WITH BACHELOR,MASTER, OR DOCTORAL THESIS TOTHE SOLVING OR STUDY OF THE THEMES PROPOSED. ** La politica nacional estaponiendo mucho enfasis ultimamente en la vinculacion industria/universidad. Los esquemas deevaluacion de los acadamicos ya empiezan a tomar en cuenta los productos de esta interaccion.Si estos dos puntos perduran, en poco tiempo habra substanciales avances en las relacionesindustria/universidad. Por otro lado, el establecimiento de programas de largo plazo entre laindustria y la universidad permitira cultivar conocimiento en las areas de interés alindustrial, lo cual aumentara la formacion de recursos humanos de alto nivel y con experiencia

129

en temas locales, impactando en los dos grandes obstaculos de la colaboracion: efectividad ytiempo de respuesta. Los asuntos de propiedad intelectual se tratan a nivel institucion, no a nivelinvestigador, y son a mi entender bastante rigidos. La calidad y perdurabilidad de la interaccionindustria/universidad dependera pues de las politicas nacionales e institucionales, y muchoayudara la minimizacion de los tramites burocraticos y legales. **

14) For university / industry collaborations which involve scientist,researcher, or studentmobility across national borders, what skills or capacities should a participant have to besuccessful?

To understand the comercial and technical; To have support ** Comittment to the project andprevious experience in the development of projects with industrial scientists. Patience andperseveration. A very solid background on applied analytical and physical-chemistry. ** Englishproficiency; Expertise in his/her field; No economic problems ** Being able to speak well thelanguage; Having secured housing, transportation, etc ** Translation of technical/scientificchallenges to commercial interest ** CLEARLY THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS INENGLISH-SPANISH IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT´S NECESSARY TO HOMOLOGATE ASCLOSE AS POSSIBLE THE COMMON RESEARCH AREAS AMONG UNIVERSITIESAND INDUSTRIE IN BOTH COUNTRIES. THE ANALYICAL RESOURCES IN MEXICOARE A STEP (OR SEVERAL) STEPS BEHIND U.S.A. SO IS NECESSARY TO HAVEPRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN THOSE "STATE OF THE ART" TECHNICS HAVINWORKSHOPS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS NEAR TO THE BORDER IFPOSSIBLE, BECAUSE, THE ECONOMIC ISSUES HAVE A STRONG INFLUENCE IN THEATTENDANCE. ALL CHEMISTS HAVE STRONG INTEREST IN ITS FIELD BUT THEACCESS IS LIMITED HERE. ** A very open mind to appreciate and understand the intrinsicproblems of industry which may be as interesying as any basic research problem. ** THEABILITY TO ANALISE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS, TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE ANDTHE BI-LINGUAL CHARACTERISITIC ** Excellent technical background; Communicationskills; Ability to work in teams; Ability to work under stress; leadership ** Sintesisenantioselectiva ** Brain, mentality focused on industrial research, workability, language,to be a human being of nationality not restricted for mobility across national borders

(Russian, for example). ** Conocer bien los idiomas involucrados y los patrones decalidad ** On the Mexican side, the participant should speak English. On the American side, theparticipant should be patient, persistent and should insist on fulfillment of contract. ** ActiveScientist/Researcher/Directors and Head of the departments ** First of all the knowledge of thelanguage. Skills should be appropriate with the requirements of the planned activity. **Understanding of the problems and education ** Global mentality and attitude ** I THINK THEMOST IMPORTANT ONE IS TO BE ABLE TO WORK PATIENTLY ON A PROJECT, BUTALWAYS KEEPING IN MIND THE GOAL OF INVESTING TIME IN THE MOST USEFULAND PRACTICAL R&D PROJECTS. ** WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT EXPERIENCE, ALLOUR COLLABORATORS UNTIL NOW HAVE BEEN NATIONALS. I DO NOT THINKTHEY MUST HAVE ANY SPECIAL CHARACTERISTIC BUT THEIR SKILLS IN THEIRSPECIALITY AND SOME ADAPTABILITY TO THE COUNTRY. ** Ser bilingue, tener unalto grado de adaptacion y respeto al medio que lo rodea, desempenarse con profesionalismo ytener una clara idea de las limitaciones que la colaboracion implica (salarios, infraestructuraexperimental, acuerdos de secrecia, etc.). Todo esto sumado a un CV que indique que es unexperto en el tema de interes. ** The best skills and capacities of Mexican students and workersto do cross-border collaborations is basically a high degree of motivationto excel, and to have competency in english (true for the world ingeneral). US students and faculty interested in coming to Mexico should

131

expect to study Spanish and not to simply have a nice vacation. **

15) Other comments or thoughts on university / industrycollaborations in Mexico? What aspects of the chemical industry sectordo you see as most promising for industry / university collaboration?

I consider that it is pretty important to have a good media to know more about any universitybecause sometimes we need to do any special project but we do not know who can do that,specially in México. Our company helps societies as Mexican polymer society, or mexicanrubber group ** New engineering proceses for common products in which all environmentalissues are taken into account. Remediation engineering of polluted sites. **Industry leaders with long standing vision. Reasonable government regulations (cutbureaucracy); The oil industry sector is one of the most promising. **Little basic research is carried out in mexican chemical industries. They usually prefer to pay for"proved" imported technologies. ** POLYMERS CATALYST FOR ASSYMETRICSYNTHESIS BIOCHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL PROCESS EXCUSE ME FOR MY WRITENENGLISH, I DID MY BEST. ** I wrote a whole book about this subject whwn I left thePetroleum Institute. Mos of the subjects there covered are still valid. If you read spanish I shallbe glad to send you a copy. I was personally frustrated after that venture and feel unqualified toanswer the last part of the question. ** I see the private chemical industry sector as the mostpromising for good university/industry relationship. It is an excellent alternative to work inprojects when the R&D budget is tight. ** La industria farmaceutica y en el desarrollo denuevos productos. ** I can't say for all the Mexican chemical industry. Examples: PEMEX,govermental industries, is very closed and unflexible,uses technologies of 25-30 years ago.Plastics and rubber industries are more opened and promissing for industry / universitycollaboration. ** Industría del acero, cemento y cerveza ( en el norte de México) **environmental studies, synthesis, analyses. Does the ACS have any interest in setting up aliaison office or representation in Mexico? I have office space, experience, and time for sale. **I received your Email with the questionnaire attached, and thought Iwould response with thefollowing paragraphs. I should mention that I and my faculty have established contacts withProf. George Sturgeon, whoI believe is still actively involved with ACS in . George has visitedus on several occasions. ** Personally, I participate in two Mexican Societies: The AMIDIQ(Mexican Academy of Research and Teaching in Chemical Engineering) and ACAT (MexicanAcademy of Catalysis). The former, not to be confused with IMIQ (Mexican Society ofChemical Engineers), is more focussed on academic aspects of Chem Engr education andresearch in Mexico. Dr. Roberto Leyva of our faculty was previous president of AMIDIQ.AMIDIQ also has been publishing "Avances en Ingeniería Química", a nationallyrefereed book of extended abstracts from our annual meeting in Aprileach year. ** Most research projects are funded by CONACyt, which funds mostacademic research in Mexico, although several of us have some fundingfrom other government/industrial sources. I have a project with theInstituto Mexicano del Petroleo (the "research branch" of PEMEX, thenational petroleum company). This project is based on complementaryexperiments, using equipment in my lab here at UASLP that is not

132

available at the IMP. The nature is academic, with application in theFCC catalyst sector. PEMEX also has two other funding categories thatthey describe as "technological development" and "technical service",generally differentiated by the duration of the project (the lattercategory tends to be less than one year and is mainly to provideservices to the refineries, rather than academic research). The IMPalso provides some scholarship money to students involved in theprogram, and serves to "upgrade" IMP employees who wish to pursue anadvanced degree at a university. ** Direct industry funding is minimal -typically, local industriestake advantage of service analysis with equipment they may not have, but someone in our facultyhas. These collaborations are worked out privately, with the university administration playingmore of a passive role.(4) We are a growing department, with new buildings going up. However,many basic services are lacking - telephone service is tedious;unannounced interruptions in electrical service and damaging voltageswings are not uncommon. CONACyT typically does not allow us topurchase support infrastructure (furniture, etc.), yet often thesedetails are vitally missing. Our labs are converted rudimentaryclassrooms, and necessities such as fumehoods are major expenses for thefaculty. ** I think that the best collaborations are those that involve common research interests,and that involve students in research projects. Idon't think that technical service jobs per se is useful forpostgraduates to spend much of their time on, although this might beuseful for undergraduates. At the industrial level, my feeling is thatwith re-structuring and consolidation world-wide, many companies simplyexpect to use Mexico as a cheap production base, with technical problemsto be solved in their first world divisions. Few Mexican companies(such as Resistol) possess the stability and resolve to developproprietary technology and a desire to maintain a competitive grasp onthe market through technology. Yet there is great expectation thatMexico will spontaneously develop such expertise. Companies like theiremployees to invest in employee training courses at local universities,but this does not change their fundamental way of thinking. ** Unfortunately, research takestime and that is well understood forresearchers and Universities, however, people from the industry have notcompletely understand this point. Therefore, there still a hug gap toovercome between these two institutions. ** Food chemistry and pharmaceutical companies **FINE CHEMICALS AND BIOCHEMICALS. a).-pharmaceutical, b).-metalurgical, c).-petrochemical, d).-environmental issues, etc. ** Energia, Polimeros, Biotecnologia
