Rollins complained that Mexican Airlines had imposed restrictions on Dynamic Air Traffic An American company It uses the aircraft to release a large number of sterile screwsmuting flies to fight the spread of the insect.

He said the restrictions against Screworm “appear to be contradictory with a successful and integrated campaign.”

“As an initial subject, they have a limited dynamic character to fly under a temporary 60 -day permission, which does not provide the necessary guarantee that our current activities can be retained.”

“In addition, they are limited to fly only 6 days a week, while the success of the operation requires 7 days a week of standard flights,” he wrote.

The Minister of Agriculture has said that the Mexican Customs officials have been informed that “important import duties are being imposed on important aircraft, scattering equipment and sterile flying export.”

Rolls wrote, “All goods and activities are fully funded by the US government to stop the spread of NWS and push the insect back towards the insect barrier at the Dariyan interval.”

“We do not understand how our official efforts to prevent a common insect subject are subject to such excellent custom duties. There is a risk that these delays and costs are disrupted, but also the risk of delaying the aircraft at a precise moment in which rapid action is needed.”

The Ministry of Agriculture of Mexico (Soder) urged Rollins to take immediate steps to remove these obstacles, and “asked the ministry to” directly engage with other officials “to facilitate the dynamic functional permit for at least one year, until priority is required or indefinite.”

He also urged the Ministry to protect the “full import permit and duty discount for” all air parts, sterile flies and SIT equipment for “the” present -day NWS -related aircrafts, sterile flies and SIT equipment “offered by the United States” for the abolition campaign. “

In addition, Rolls asked the “with the US Agriculture Department (USDA)” with the urgent bureaucratic and regulatory obstacles to the urgently “to” hire a high -level contact. “

“Time is essential,” the agricultural secretary wrote.

“… At the highest levels of your government, the situation requires immediate attention and decisive coordination. If these issues are not solved by Wednesday, I should inform you that the USDA will control importing products, which have direct livestock, jungle and equine, when they appear or pass from Mexico.

That warning looked at the newspaper of the L nsanciro Ask a suitable question on a topic – “What will they fill their burritos?”

In his letter, Rolls said, “American-Mxico NWS has proposed to alleviate our strategy and ensure uninterrupted and prolonged response by participating in the Aeronautical Strategic Strategy Strategic Meeting from governments, technicians and operational partners.

Bertheki said on Sunday social media He responded to the letter of agriculture “immediately.”

“As our President Claudia Shinbam said, we act with a cold head. We cooperate. We cooperate, but we allow us to never submit to us,” He wrote.

“… I hope we will get good deals,” he added.
