Great Opening ! ! ! To Foreign And Private Investment
Reform energetic in Mexico is extremely important due to the opening for the investment of private corporations in the extraction and exploration of oil and gas.
Previously, this activity was restricted only to a single State-owned company, PEMEX (Petroleos Mexicanos), however this reform opens opportunities for private investment of domestic and foreign companies. To carry out this process were amendments to various laws, including the Mexican Constitution.
