Mexico is also wary of a U.S. initiative to draw up a list of agricultural products it aims to protect seasonally from NAFTA region imports.
"The proposal goes against Mexico and Canada's shared goal to have the new regional agreement guarantee freer trade," the senators said.
Mexico is also chafing at a U.S. proposal to change rules of origin, especially on autos and auto parts, so they include "higher NAFTA content and substantial U.S. content."
In other areas, the U.S. wants to scrap the chapter on dispute resolution, which Mexico and Canada are in favor of retaining.
In addition, says the report, "there has been talk of significant differences, specifically between the U.S. and Canada, in relation to the aerospace industry."
"Despite the challenges to be faced in upcoming rounds, the Mexican negotiating team will maintain its constructive stance and will not accept an agreement that fails to increase the opportunities for greater regional exchange," lawmakers said.
Last week's third round did see progress on several fronts, such as the inclusion of a chapter on small and medium-size businesses (SMBs), designed to boost the sector in the region.
Advances were also made in telecommunications, e-commerce, customs and other areas.
The fourth round is to take place from Oct. 11 to 15 in Washington.
Negotiations began on Aug. 16, on the insistence of U.S. President Donald Trump, who claims the trade agreement has hurt U.S. industry and employment, and unfairly benefited Mexico.
