The First
Since 1990 some sectors not traditional have been increasing steadily its exporting activity. Where course, it should be noted, that many of these sectors are characterized because its activities have high environmental impact. Therefore, the strengthening of the proambientalistas trends in developed countries, and the lack of attention to the problem by firms, it is significantly affecting Venezuelan exports accordingly, affecting the trade balance and they make more difficult the process of economic recovery. Secondly, and by no means least important, appear problems of environmental impact in areas of high industry concentration in the country. Needless to say that in Venezuela the industrial park presents a poor infrastructure for the treatment of industrial waste, fact that is easily verified in many States like Carabobo, Merida, Zulia, to mention a few, where are given different emissions that have polluted the air, the water, forcing that is to implement the design of strategies of Prevention of pollution.

In relationship with the first point, with a few exceptions, the almost automatic response is not.
