*DEA and Mexico Announce Further Steps to Combat Meth Production**AUG
23 - (Washington) – *Drug Enforcement Administration's Administrator
Michele M. Leonhart announced today the signing of a new memorandum of
cooperation (MOC) between the United States Drug Enforcement
Administration and the Government of Mexico to aggressively address
the continuing problem of illegal methamphetamine production.  Mexican
Attorney General Marisela Morales Ibáñez and General Commissioner of
the Mexican Federal Police Maribel Cervantes Guerrero made the
announcement with Administrator Leonhart.   The MOC will assist in
sustaining long-term joint efforts between the U.S. and Mexico in
battling methamphetamine production.  U.S. and Mexican officials enjoy
a strong cooperative relationship that includes information and
intelligence exchange, joint chemical control efforts, and training
and resources for methamphetamine lab dismantling.  A methamphetamine
lab is a
hidden or secret facility equipped and used in the production of
illegal drugs such as methamphetamine.   "With the majority of
methamphetamine in the US being produced by Mexican drug organizations
operating on both sides of the border, it is essential for our two
countries to target the problem together," Leonhart said.  "This MOC
enhances our intelligence sharing and joint training efforts, and is
only possible due to the strong partnership with the Government of
Mexico in attacking the meth scourge both countries unfortunately
face."     Mexico's Attorney General Marisela Morales said, "Mexico
and the United States are linked not only by economic, political and
social bonds, but also by security and law enforcement issues."  The
signing of the MOC "is an unprecedented event because both of our
countries are signing the very first international instrument that
will help fight the manufacturing of synthetic drugs in clandestine
laboratories," she said.   The General Commissioner of Mexico's
Federal Police Maribel Cervantes noted that "the recent increase in
the production and consumption of designer drugs is both a security
and a health problem that demands immediate attention by both
governments.  I am certain that the signing of this document will
increase the institutional capacities of all of us to combat this
problem more efficiently.  The Mexican Federal Police will make every
effort to increase timely coordination and exchange of information to
build a common front against the illicit trade of design drugs."
Mexico has experienced a dramatic increase in clandestine
methamphetamine lab and precursor chemical seizures, nearly 1,000
percent between 2010 and 2011.  This increase has led to a rise of
methamphetamine seizures at the U.S. border.  In 2011, Southwest
border seizures of meth totaled 7,338 kilograms, more than twice the
amount seized in 2009.
The Department of State has set aside $12 million in Merida
Initiative funding to support Mexican government efforts to enhance
Mexico's capacity to safely secure clan labs, gather evidence, and
destroy chemical precursors.   ***PHOTOS AVAILABLE AT DEA.GOV***
