UPM Fray Bentos Pulp Mill is not opposing in situ inspections for the incredible simple reason that they have noting to hide.........

ok, we should make sure that every barrel of chemichal, or otherways waste toxic materials is acounted for in the way in or out of the plant, and that there is a secretariat in the area to monitor this, and aprove the continuation of the pulpmill operation on a monthly bases, the secretariat should aslo make sure that NO timber is taken from areas other then the proposed, or otherways already contracted land owners, the proposal for timber allocated for cutting on either side of the border should be writen withing 120 days to give a chance for enviornmentalist and the secretariat to do a fact finding, and ecological impact on the foreign or local resources, the procedural scheme should be scrutinized by the secretariat during these 120 days period.
